Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the Zeitelander.
There can only be trend or there can be only
trend only is only one? I think that's right. Yeah.
I think it's one of those things like Luke, I'm
your father that people have turned into the easier thing
to say for the Toyota Crossover utility vehicle. No oh,
(00:25):
the movie Okay, Toyota Highlander, Okay, I'm Jack. That's Miles.
It's Tuesday afternoon, and this is what is trendy. Uh.
We're we're having first of all, just up top, guys,
we're having some issues with I'm sure this is or
maybe maybe it's not happening because not that many people
(00:47):
record zooms but the new feature on zoom uh is
being recorded. Thank you. It's very truly feels makes every
zoom uh podcast recording feel like a call to prison. Yeah,
it is a little jarring. Yeah, but anyway, all right,
(01:09):
well here are the things that are trending. George Floyd
on the one year anniversary of his death. Um, and
there are some takes, yeah, all kinds of takes sort
of suggesting like thank you, like a sort of treating
him like a martyr. He is not. Yes, I mean
(01:31):
Nancy Pelosi really held it down for the George Floyd
Martyr crew, but he did not decide to sacrifice his life.
His life was ended by a police officer. Tragically he
was killed, So there was no um, just weird. It
shows how little progress we've made in the discourse, Like
we can't even just like as if we're gonna focus
(01:52):
not to say that George Floyd's murder wasn't important and
absolutely drove things to a certain extent, but like there
are so many other black, unarmed black people who have
been killed and to get hung up as if like
George Floyd is sort of like the singular thing I
think just does a disservice to like overalle what people
are trying to get, uh and the liberation that people
(02:14):
are looking for, rather than just like, well, you know,
Derrek Chavian found guilty, so let's go right back to it, y'all. Yeah,
I wonder if that's going to become a thing, like
the way that uh, you know, mainstream American culture co
opted the message of Martin Luther King Jr. To be like, hey,
he says we're all friends and there's not racism is
(02:38):
about being color blind. I wonder if George Floyd, because
he's a symbol of somebody, uh, the murderer actually being
found guilty, if that, if that will be, He's the
one instance that people who want to sell toyotas or
believe that americansm racist will will use. I mean, there's
(03:01):
already been a lot of backlash from the companies that
set all this stuff at the in the summer of
like all the things they were going to do, and
then how very little followed through on it, just because
it's like, yeah, that's what you say right now, and
then things move on and then you don't have to
worry about the suffering of people. I think, what's in
the same way, like just because there's a ceasefire, uh
with Israel and Palestine, you know, it's like less reporting
(03:22):
on all the mass arrests that are happening of Palestinians
living in Israel too, like that sort of like the music.
All right, we got to the past the rocket part,
so let's just end our attention to this other thing
happening as well. Um, many things can be happening at
the same time, so please, yeah, you know, stay aware.
But again, uh, just these these like sort of thank you.
(03:44):
George Floyd takes awful. Um did you guys talk about
Mark Ruffalo yesterday on yesterday No, Well, so that's kind
of related to this next story. John Cena to actors
who are apologizing today. Um, so, John Cena is apologizing
in Mandarin to the people of China for the grave
(04:06):
error he made of calling Taiwan a country. Oh boy,
he's you know, he's been studying Mandarin for a minute.
He posted like weebo a lot um But apparently it
was during a Fast Furious nine junket. He said, Oh,
and Taiwan will be like the first country that I'll
get to see the film. I'm really excited. He said
that during a press thing. Yeah. Uh so the language
(04:31):
he was using. He was like, I am so sorry.
I it was like this, I don't know. I mean,
he he must be making a lot of money from
there and have a lot of fans there. But his
apology was like I've never seen somebody or like he
was really you must understand. I love the people of
China and there was a mistake was made. It's like
(04:53):
Taiwan is a country. Okay, listen to the people that
live in the lands you're talking about. They're not saying
they're part of their will say they are their own,
democratically organized, own nation, much in the same way any
oppressed people will say no, no no, no, that's that's what
they think. This was some oppressors trying to say about
us or a country. UM. Tune in tomorrow for Miles
(05:16):
apology for having said what he just said. Yeah, well, uh,
we'll see. Yeahally they're they're not. They're not making my
blunts so much. But the thing, yeah, it's just it.
It goes on with like you know, we've seen this
in the past, just like with Darryl Morey when he
was with the Rockets. He said he was talking about
(05:37):
like being you know, supporting the protesters of Hong Kong.
And this happens with so many brands like Pradac or
like Louis Baton. They'll make shirts that has like a
map of the world and Taiwan will be labeled as
a country, and then they're like, oh are bad? Are bad?
Are bad? Are bad? Our bad? So sorry, we didn't
mean to offend anyone, um, but I think it just
shows you, you know the power of you know, these
(06:01):
markets and what it means to people. Yeah, because it's
not like it's not I don't think it's John Seen
apologizing because he believes that he ran a foul of
what he believes, like what Taiwan is as a nation.
It's that it was clearly going it was not a
good business move. Yeah, and that is the pivot we're saying,
(06:21):
like you're talking about with Mark Ruffalo, Right, Mark Ruffalo
was you know, speaking up for the rights of the
Palestinian people to not be murdered. Um. I think he
used language uh that was found offensive and so he
had to like kind of come on social media and
backtrack and like backtrack at a live event. I think also,
(06:45):
and you know, it was just he said he was
sorry that he used the word genocide in relation to
the actions of Israel, and he said, quote, it's not accurate,
it's inflammatory, disrespectful in his being used to justify anti semitism.
Here road, now is the time to avoid hyperbole. Come on,
that's that's such a not that's not a real take.
(07:08):
That's right, you can see what's happening. That's a lawyer
overtake because if he he would have been he would
have said sorry, I used genocide for the systematic killing
of a race in Palestine by the Israeli authorities, which
is by many definitions what genocide is. But I understand, Okay,
(07:32):
I'm sorry. How about this human rights violator? That seems
to be something that on many other you know, international
bodies are willing to agree upon. But yeah, I think
it's uh, you feel like it sounded like that was
the real Mark Ruffalo in the first tweet, and then
you know your support staff is like that, You're gonna
(07:53):
have to sort this out. Sorry, Every celebrity is a corporation,
so yeah, and if look, if if you're not in
the business of talking spicy, then don't talk spicy or
rather the truth. It reminds me of like back like
years ago, where they were like, we're sorry for that
we said that the congress person's language was racist. People,
it was I don't know what we We're apologize because
(08:15):
you're allowing you know, someone else to dictate or define
what this conversation is about and completely you know, distract
from what is actually happenings. Being called racist is the
worst thing that can happen to someone in America. So
I wouldn't know. I'm just on the other side of it.
But okay, I'll believe it's absolutely the worst. Oh that's
the worst, worst than getting your life taken for by
(08:39):
the police for doing nothing. Um. Johnny Knoxville is trending. Uh.
There's a new what what is being called the last,
the final Jackass film coming at us uh, and there's
a new g Q article talking about his career as
he prepares for that. UM, many people marveling at his
(09:02):
uh survival to this point, he's so he's so physically
fucked up it's like not even funny. He's fifty one
or something now, and I'm like, I'm at that age. Look, yes,
I was fucking gassed up off of those Jackass shows
c k y tapes of films. But as I get
older in my body, knowing the ship I can or
(09:25):
you know, as iffy to do, I'm like, please, Johnny,
you don't have to let this be more of a
cerebral jackass than a physical one. Give your body a break, sir.
And I don't know if I I don't part of
me feels like I have all this like old old
body empathy, or I'd be like, oh no, no, like
watching it and I'm like I can't please, I can't
watch this. Like the whole fun of that was watching
(09:47):
young dumb people injure themselves in young, fun dumb ways,
like backyard wrestling type ship and it's not fun when
you think the person is going to die. I guess
you know that he's he hasn't died, but uh, you know,
he's got gray hair, like he's got all the markers
of somebody who it hurts to get out of bed
(10:09):
in the morning, and he's out there like fucking, you know,
just getting I don't even know what the what the
stunts are in this one, but yeah, I just I
just already hear Bruce Springsteen from like that the song
from The Wrestler, Like have you ever seen No One
Trick Pony? You're like, oh god, please don't tragically just
(10:33):
pivot Johnny to just do fucking like Airbnb ads or
something host America's Got Talent, Like, shouldn't he be on that?
Shouldn't he be one of the panelists for America's Got Talent?
At a certain point, it's like Johnny Nal doesn't have
to be on T if he's good with his estates
and his finances just lay down forever please If if
(10:54):
he's fine financially, then yeah, man, what are you still
doing out here? Man? Just create a greate space for
the young jackasses out Yeah, like yeah, he that absolutely
he should have like treated it like uh, you know,
like Kobe leaving it like having people or Jordan's like
having young people who wear his brand. Here's my jackass
(11:17):
challenge to you. Yeah, I get Jackass of the Year
within two seasons. Um, flavor Town is trending. I mean
it's always kind of trending in our hearts, but yeah,
it's trending now because so I don't even this is
one of uh so, I didn't do any of the trends.
(11:38):
You you pulled all the trends for us in this
and I don't know what this sentence means because I'm
gonna so flavor Town is trending because Guy fi Eddi
just signed a three year extension worth eighty million with
the Food Network. Now I wrote the Knicks because this
(11:58):
sounds like athlete money out like three year extension, eighty million.
I'm like, who are we talking about? Guy Fiertti. Even then,
it's not the Dodger, Oh it's the okay, Um, I
mean just goes to show you what the funk this
guy's like his gravitational pull if his extension is worth
(12:18):
you know, another fucking twenty three point three three million
or whatever? Do we think the Food Network has NBA
contracts where it's guaranteed, uh, with with or without you know, injury?
I don't know, you know that. I don't know what.
I don't know what those numbers look like. I don't
know what what kind of redlines we saw back and
forth when they got to this agreement. Um, but you
(12:40):
know Fieti is a fighter. Um, and you know it's
kind of one of the people you definitely wanted your
franchise when you need somebody with a good heart who
will wear a jokey bowling ball shirt. Uh. And will
you know, does will bleach his tips till they they
can be bleached no more. I'm gonna go I'm gonna
say something controversial here. I think his agent should be fired.
(13:02):
I think he should get way more than this because
Fierti is like I wouldn't have said that until you
put it in the context of sports, but he is
bigger than the Food Network, the same way that like
Lebron was bigger than the Calves. He is like he
is transcending and becoming, like his moment is now like
(13:27):
getting bigger, and like his cultural impact is getting bigger.
They need him way more than he needs them. So
I don't know, maybe maybe this is like non exclusive
or whatever, but just in terms of Okay, but with
with that, you're saying he's worth more than twenties seven
million season. Yeah, I'm saying, like, you know, uh, what
(13:49):
are we looking at? What? What are you what are
you doing? What if you're breaking down a season with Fieri?
What are you trying to get him? Well? I guess
I guess when you put it that way, I was.
I was, so I'm good at math, and so I
was adding eight into dividing eight three times into twenty,
which is not which is not our mate works. But
(14:11):
I was like thinking of, like, you know, that's a
Brook Lopez contract or something, and he's more of a
he's more of a Max guy. He should be a
Max guy. But maybe like twenty seven million is actually
probably max. So maybe maybe that's about right where it
should be. Um, yeah, like what what does Durant make
a year? Oh? Man, what's uh durant salary? From the
(14:37):
Nets he makes twenty six point five four, so he's
right right in line. So he's just edging him out
with two six point six six six six six seven.
So although Durant is under paid, that's whose agent. Yeah,
Lebron is thirty nine point two to James Harden's forty
(14:58):
one point to five million, Kyrie's thirty three. How is
Kevin Durant? Is he on an old contract? No? I
mean did he have less like power because there he
had no Achilles? Maybe does that kind of bring the
kind of that might lessen the whatever? All that to say,
I think fierty. I think look, come come to you know,
(15:20):
Zeke's Zygang Sports Agency. Uh, and we'll triple that. You
know what I mean? You know, I work, I worked
hard for my clients, Um, meaning I eat it all
the Texas ABIs franchises I can go to. So that's
that place is apparently gone. It was always like in
the back of my mind bucket list that I'd be
(15:41):
able to go to Texas Abi. But uh, somebody just
talking about that restaurant on a podcast recently and said
that like that was only around for like a a
short a short while. Um, Johnny, Yeah, Yeah, Anyways, do
you have you ever eat not a Fietti like original joint,
(16:03):
not like a place that's been on Diners drive ins
and no, I have not. I have not made Uh,
I've been places from Diners, drive ins and dives because
it used to do more production stuff and would travel
like I had that app that was like basically close
to a place that's done that was on Diners, vans
and yeah, or like anything that's been on a Food
Network special. So it was cool, like you could be like, man,
(16:25):
I'm in Savannah, Georgia, What the funk do I know?
Like aside from just local, although I did. I did
tweet big Boy from Outcast where to go in Savannah, Georgia,
and he replied to me, in the year of Our
Lord two thousand twelve, you can check the fucking receipts. Um.
I think he told me to go to. I think
it's called Slow's Barbecue. Uh and it was delicious, but
(16:47):
um that real recommendation. I gotta remember what it was
Slowses in Detroit. Anyway, look Savannah Barbecue Gang, let me know.
But yes, I've I've never been to a Fietti place.
I would I want to. I mean more than anything.
I just think I just want to fucking smoke weed
guy fear I would just see what that's like, yeah,
or do the next close thing, get high and go
to his restaurant. That should be a that's like doing acid.
(17:10):
If you smoke weed with Guy Fieddi, he's gonna I
feel like he'll say some weird ship like not problematic,
but you're just like what or he's just the most
normal person in the world and you're like never like
smoking with your dad. He's like yeah. And then Tiger
Ones was good at golf? What uh huh? You know
(17:31):
who was good? Jordan's just like the most vanilla. Hey, man,
stop killing the blunt, just talking man, let me really quick.
Al right, Hey, you know you ever see that commercial
with Ronaldano the soccer player and he's kicking a ball
against the crossbar, a crossbar the goal That was a fake.
That was fake. I don't know if you know that
he actually didn't do that. Alright, bro, what the worst thing?
(17:58):
All right? That is what is trending on this Tuesday afternoon.
We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the Zeitelander.
There can only be trend or there can be only
trend only is only one? I think that's right. Yeah.
I think it's one of those things like Luke, I'm
your father that people have turned into the easier thing
to say for the Toyota Crossover utility vehicle. No oh,
(00:25):
the movie Okay, Toyota Highlander, Okay, I'm Jack. That's Miles.
It's Tuesday afternoon, and this is what is trendy. Uh.
We're we're having first of all, just up top, guys,
we're having some issues with I'm sure this is or
maybe maybe it's not happening because not that many people
(00:47):
record zooms but the new feature on zoom uh is
being recorded. Thank you. It's very truly feels makes every
zoom uh podcast recording feel like a call to prison. Yeah,
it is a little jarring. Yeah, but anyway, all right,
(01:09):
well here are the things that are trending. George Floyd
on the one year anniversary of his death. Um, and
there are some takes, yeah, all kinds of takes sort
of suggesting like thank you, like a sort of treating
him like a martyr. He is not. Yes, I mean
(01:31):
Nancy Pelosi really held it down for the George Floyd
Martyr crew, but he did not decide to sacrifice his life.
His life was ended by a police officer. Tragically he
was killed, So there was no um, just weird. It
shows how little progress we've made in the discourse, Like
we can't even just like as if we're gonna focus
(01:52):
not to say that George Floyd's murder wasn't important and
absolutely drove things to a certain extent, but like there
are so many other black, unarmed black people who have
been killed and to get hung up as if like
George Floyd is sort of like the singular thing I
think just does a disservice to like overalle what people
are trying to get, uh and the liberation that people
(02:14):
are looking for, rather than just like, well, you know,
Derrek Chavian found guilty, so let's go right back to it, y'all. Yeah,
I wonder if that's going to become a thing, like
the way that uh, you know, mainstream American culture co
opted the message of Martin Luther King Jr. To be like, hey,
he says we're all friends and there's not racism is
(02:38):
about being color blind. I wonder if George Floyd, because
he's a symbol of somebody, uh, the murderer actually being
found guilty, if that, if that will be, He's the
one instance that people who want to sell toyotas or
believe that americansm racist will will use. I mean, there's
(03:01):
already been a lot of backlash from the companies that
set all this stuff at the in the summer of
like all the things they were going to do, and
then how very little followed through on it, just because
it's like, yeah, that's what you say right now, and
then things move on and then you don't have to
worry about the suffering of people. I think, what's in
the same way, like just because there's a ceasefire, uh
with Israel and Palestine, you know, it's like less reporting
(03:22):
on all the mass arrests that are happening of Palestinians
living in Israel too, like that sort of like the music.
All right, we got to the past the rocket part,
so let's just end our attention to this other thing
happening as well. Um, many things can be happening at
the same time, so please, yeah, you know, stay aware.
But again, uh, just these these like sort of thank you.
(03:44):
George Floyd takes awful. Um did you guys talk about
Mark Ruffalo yesterday on yesterday No, Well, so that's kind
of related to this next story. John Cena to actors
who are apologizing today. Um, so, John Cena is apologizing
in Mandarin to the people of China for the grave
(04:06):
error he made of calling Taiwan a country. Oh boy,
he's you know, he's been studying Mandarin for a minute.
He posted like weebo a lot um But apparently it
was during a Fast Furious nine junket. He said, Oh,
and Taiwan will be like the first country that I'll
get to see the film. I'm really excited. He said
that during a press thing. Yeah. Uh so the language
(04:31):
he was using. He was like, I am so sorry.
I it was like this, I don't know. I mean,
he he must be making a lot of money from
there and have a lot of fans there. But his
apology was like I've never seen somebody or like he
was really you must understand. I love the people of
China and there was a mistake was made. It's like
(04:53):
Taiwan is a country. Okay, listen to the people that
live in the lands you're talking about. They're not saying
they're part of their will say they are their own,
democratically organized, own nation, much in the same way any
oppressed people will say no, no no, no, that's that's what
they think. This was some oppressors trying to say about
us or a country. UM. Tune in tomorrow for Miles
(05:16):
apology for having said what he just said. Yeah, well, uh,
we'll see. Yeahally they're they're not. They're not making my
blunts so much. But the thing, yeah, it's just it.
It goes on with like you know, we've seen this
in the past, just like with Darryl Morey when he
was with the Rockets. He said he was talking about
(05:37):
like being you know, supporting the protesters of Hong Kong.
And this happens with so many brands like Pradac or
like Louis Baton. They'll make shirts that has like a
map of the world and Taiwan will be labeled as
a country, and then they're like, oh are bad? Are bad?
Are bad? Are bad? Our bad? So sorry, we didn't
mean to offend anyone, um, but I think it just
shows you, you know the power of you know, these
(06:01):
markets and what it means to people. Yeah, because it's
not like it's not I don't think it's John Seen
apologizing because he believes that he ran a foul of
what he believes, like what Taiwan is as a nation.
It's that it was clearly going it was not a
good business move. Yeah, and that is the pivot we're saying,
(06:21):
like you're talking about with Mark Ruffalo, Right, Mark Ruffalo
was you know, speaking up for the rights of the
Palestinian people to not be murdered. Um. I think he
used language uh that was found offensive and so he
had to like kind of come on social media and
backtrack and like backtrack at a live event. I think also,
(06:45):
and you know, it was just he said he was
sorry that he used the word genocide in relation to
the actions of Israel, and he said, quote, it's not accurate,
it's inflammatory, disrespectful in his being used to justify anti semitism.
Here road, now is the time to avoid hyperbole. Come on,
that's that's such a not that's not a real take.
(07:08):
That's right, you can see what's happening. That's a lawyer
overtake because if he he would have been he would
have said sorry, I used genocide for the systematic killing
of a race in Palestine by the Israeli authorities, which
is by many definitions what genocide is. But I understand, Okay,
(07:32):
I'm sorry. How about this human rights violator? That seems
to be something that on many other you know, international
bodies are willing to agree upon. But yeah, I think
it's uh, you feel like it sounded like that was
the real Mark Ruffalo in the first tweet, and then
you know your support staff is like that, You're gonna
(07:53):
have to sort this out. Sorry, Every celebrity is a corporation,
so yeah, and if look, if if you're not in
the business of talking spicy, then don't talk spicy or
rather the truth. It reminds me of like back like
years ago, where they were like, we're sorry for that
we said that the congress person's language was racist. People,
it was I don't know what we We're apologize because
(08:15):
you're allowing you know, someone else to dictate or define
what this conversation is about and completely you know, distract
from what is actually happenings. Being called racist is the
worst thing that can happen to someone in America. So
I wouldn't know. I'm just on the other side of it.
But okay, I'll believe it's absolutely the worst. Oh that's
the worst, worst than getting your life taken for by
(08:39):
the police for doing nothing. Um. Johnny Knoxville is trending. Uh.
There's a new what what is being called the last,
the final Jackass film coming at us uh, and there's
a new g Q article talking about his career as
he prepares for that. UM, many people marveling at his
(09:02):
uh survival to this point, he's so he's so physically
fucked up it's like not even funny. He's fifty one
or something now, and I'm like, I'm at that age. Look, yes,
I was fucking gassed up off of those Jackass shows
c k y tapes of films. But as I get
older in my body, knowing the ship I can or
(09:25):
you know, as iffy to do, I'm like, please, Johnny,
you don't have to let this be more of a
cerebral jackass than a physical one. Give your body a break, sir.
And I don't know if I I don't part of
me feels like I have all this like old old
body empathy, or I'd be like, oh no, no, like
watching it and I'm like I can't please, I can't
watch this. Like the whole fun of that was watching
(09:47):
young dumb people injure themselves in young, fun dumb ways,
like backyard wrestling type ship and it's not fun when
you think the person is going to die. I guess
you know that he's he hasn't died, but uh, you know,
he's got gray hair, like he's got all the markers
of somebody who it hurts to get out of bed
(10:09):
in the morning, and he's out there like fucking, you know,
just getting I don't even know what the what the
stunts are in this one, but yeah, I just I
just already hear Bruce Springsteen from like that the song
from The Wrestler, Like have you ever seen No One
Trick Pony? You're like, oh god, please don't tragically just
(10:33):
pivot Johnny to just do fucking like Airbnb ads or
something host America's Got Talent, Like, shouldn't he be on that?
Shouldn't he be one of the panelists for America's Got Talent?
At a certain point, it's like Johnny Nal doesn't have
to be on T if he's good with his estates
and his finances just lay down forever please If if
(10:54):
he's fine financially, then yeah, man, what are you still
doing out here? Man? Just create a greate space for
the young jackasses out Yeah, like yeah, he that absolutely
he should have like treated it like uh, you know,
like Kobe leaving it like having people or Jordan's like
having young people who wear his brand. Here's my jackass
(11:17):
challenge to you. Yeah, I get Jackass of the Year
within two seasons. Um, flavor Town is trending. I mean
it's always kind of trending in our hearts, but yeah,
it's trending now because so I don't even this is
one of uh so, I didn't do any of the trends.
(11:38):
You you pulled all the trends for us in this
and I don't know what this sentence means because I'm
gonna so flavor Town is trending because Guy fi Eddi
just signed a three year extension worth eighty million with
the Food Network. Now I wrote the Knicks because this
(11:58):
sounds like athlete money out like three year extension, eighty million.
I'm like, who are we talking about? Guy Fiertti. Even then,
it's not the Dodger, Oh it's the okay, Um, I
mean just goes to show you what the funk this
guy's like his gravitational pull if his extension is worth
(12:18):
you know, another fucking twenty three point three three million
or whatever? Do we think the Food Network has NBA
contracts where it's guaranteed, uh, with with or without you know, injury?
I don't know, you know that. I don't know what.
I don't know what those numbers look like. I don't
know what what kind of redlines we saw back and
forth when they got to this agreement. Um, but you
(12:40):
know Fieti is a fighter. Um, and you know it's
kind of one of the people you definitely wanted your
franchise when you need somebody with a good heart who
will wear a jokey bowling ball shirt. Uh. And will
you know, does will bleach his tips till they they
can be bleached no more. I'm gonna go I'm gonna
say something controversial here. I think his agent should be fired.
(13:02):
I think he should get way more than this because
Fierti is like I wouldn't have said that until you
put it in the context of sports, but he is
bigger than the Food Network, the same way that like
Lebron was bigger than the Calves. He is like he
is transcending and becoming, like his moment is now like
(13:27):
getting bigger, and like his cultural impact is getting bigger.
They need him way more than he needs them. So
I don't know, maybe maybe this is like non exclusive
or whatever, but just in terms of Okay, but with
with that, you're saying he's worth more than twenties seven
million season. Yeah, I'm saying, like, you know, uh, what
(13:49):
are we looking at? What? What are you what are
you doing? What if you're breaking down a season with Fieri?
What are you trying to get him? Well? I guess
I guess when you put it that way, I was.
I was, so I'm good at math, and so I
was adding eight into dividing eight three times into twenty,
which is not which is not our mate works. But
(14:11):
I was like thinking of, like, you know, that's a
Brook Lopez contract or something, and he's more of a
he's more of a Max guy. He should be a
Max guy. But maybe like twenty seven million is actually
probably max. So maybe maybe that's about right where it
should be. Um, yeah, like what what does Durant make
a year? Oh? Man, what's uh durant salary? From the
(14:37):
Nets he makes twenty six point five four, so he's
right right in line. So he's just edging him out
with two six point six six six six six seven.
So although Durant is under paid, that's whose agent. Yeah,
Lebron is thirty nine point two to James Harden's forty
(14:58):
one point to five million, Kyrie's thirty three. How is
Kevin Durant? Is he on an old contract? No? I
mean did he have less like power because there he
had no Achilles? Maybe does that kind of bring the
kind of that might lessen the whatever? All that to say,
I think fierty. I think look, come come to you know,
(15:20):
Zeke's Zygang Sports Agency. Uh, and we'll triple that. You
know what I mean? You know, I work, I worked
hard for my clients, Um, meaning I eat it all
the Texas ABIs franchises I can go to. So that's
that place is apparently gone. It was always like in
the back of my mind bucket list that I'd be
(15:41):
able to go to Texas Abi. But uh, somebody just
talking about that restaurant on a podcast recently and said
that like that was only around for like a a
short a short while. Um, Johnny, Yeah, Yeah, Anyways, do
you have you ever eat not a Fietti like original joint,
(16:03):
not like a place that's been on Diners drive ins
and no, I have not. I have not made Uh,
I've been places from Diners, drive ins and dives because
it used to do more production stuff and would travel
like I had that app that was like basically close
to a place that's done that was on Diners, vans
and yeah, or like anything that's been on a Food
Network special. So it was cool, like you could be like, man,
(16:25):
I'm in Savannah, Georgia, What the funk do I know?
Like aside from just local, although I did. I did
tweet big Boy from Outcast where to go in Savannah, Georgia,
and he replied to me, in the year of Our
Lord two thousand twelve, you can check the fucking receipts. Um.
I think he told me to go to. I think
it's called Slow's Barbecue. Uh and it was delicious, but
(16:47):
um that real recommendation. I gotta remember what it was
Slowses in Detroit. Anyway, look Savannah Barbecue Gang, let me know.
But yes, I've I've never been to a Fietti place.
I would I want to. I mean more than anything.
I just think I just want to fucking smoke weed
guy fear I would just see what that's like, yeah,
or do the next close thing, get high and go
to his restaurant. That should be a that's like doing acid.
(17:10):
If you smoke weed with Guy Fieddi, he's gonna I
feel like he'll say some weird ship like not problematic,
but you're just like what or he's just the most
normal person in the world and you're like never like
smoking with your dad. He's like yeah. And then Tiger
Ones was good at golf? What uh huh? You know
(17:31):
who was good? Jordan's just like the most vanilla. Hey, man,
stop killing the blunt, just talking man, let me really quick.
Al right, Hey, you know you ever see that commercial
with Ronaldano the soccer player and he's kicking a ball
against the crossbar, a crossbar the goal That was a fake.
That was fake. I don't know if you know that
he actually didn't do that. Alright, bro, what the worst thing?
(17:58):
All right? That is what is trending on this Tuesday afternoon.
We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
