Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, A welcome to season sixty three, episode
two of their daily Zeitgeist, the podcast where we take
a deep bab into America's share consciousness using the headlines
box Office reports, TV ratings, was trending on Hughes and
social media's It's Thursday, January three. My name is Jack O'Brien,
a kay on How Stuff Work. There is a podcast
(00:22):
called Daily's like Geist. It's second rate, easily forgot if
not for Jack and Miles. Uh, there's another part of that,
but we're just gonna cut it off there. Thank you
Chris for Lang, and I'm thrilled to be joined by
my special co host, Ever Maynar gonna be back. Okay,
(00:45):
it's great to have you here. Um alright, Uh, well,
I love it. I love doing podcast. Yes, well, we're
through to be joined in our third seat by the
hilarious comedian Jenny is a green guy ight Gang Gang. Yeah.
(01:09):
It feels bad to say it because it's it's like,
oh yeah, I lean fully in and just say it
like angry. Well, anyways, Jenny, it's great to have you.
Happy to be here. Your hair looks great. I wish
our listeners could see. Oh, thank you. I got one
(01:30):
of those bellaged shook called bliss. Isn't that little a bailage? John?
It sounds like a meat loaf, like a meat dish.
What is it? I don't know how to pronounce it.
It's a hair hair thing where it goes dark to light.
(01:51):
I just assumed you had I had a T shirt
that did that. Yeah, greedy to your two shirt single.
Hey Jenny, we're gonna get to know you a little
bit better in a moment. But first we're gonna tell
our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.
(02:11):
We're gonna check in with Kanye West, see what he
spent his holiday break doing. Also Louis E. K. Also,
we're gonna talk about that twinning app that all the
kids are talking about it's all the rage. And we're
gonna talk about that wild s press conference not really
a press conference, sort of televised meeting that Trump had,
(02:33):
and many many other things. We're gonna be talking really
fast today. But first, Jenny, we like to ask our guest,
what is something from your search history that is revealing
about who you are? Oh? Well, I searched flu symptoms
for dogs? Oh no, can dogs get the flu? Dogs
can get the flu. Yeah, did you know that? Now?
(02:55):
You do know? I didn't know until earlier today. So
that's the kind of first. And I am just looking
up dog symptoms. Okay, and you have a dog. I'm
assuming I do have a dog, but I actually I
wasn't even looking them up for my dog. Is for
someone else's dog. So I'm a caring person. What are
the symptoms of dog flu um? Just sick stuffy noses?
(03:17):
Do we want to go over there? Pretty much the
same s Well, some people may not know. The dog's
gonna ship, dog's gonna vomit, dog's gonna sh either way. Yeah.
But like my experience, a lot when they have or
like you know, like panting, thank you, lethargic, they're tired.
(03:41):
They just want to watch Netflix all day. I think
my dog has had the flu for his entire life. Then,
because no, I have a cavalier soft dog ragging over here.
I think you might have heard of those cavalier King Charles,
(04:03):
but he is he is not. He's twelve years old.
And mostly, yes, Jenny, what is something you think is underrated? Okay,
this is very important to me. I think that back
scratchers are underrated, okay, because okay, I love I really like,
(04:27):
thank you ever appointed. She pointed at me and we
felt it. The connection. It was vibrant um sparks flew
from her fingers. But at every massage place you go to,
you can always get like massages or like hot stones
or all this crap, but no one's ever like back
scratching and all those things. And it is the best.
(04:47):
It is the best. I've gotten to the point where like,
if I'll have a one night stand and I'm not
having a good time, I'll just be like, stop what
you're doing, scratch money minute, And they're more weirded out
by that request, like they're like that's too intimate, and
I'm like, you're awful. Yeah, just get on the back.
So you were making fun of me for being high fluting,
(05:11):
but then you were referring to humans as backscratchers most
of it, Like I was picturing like the handheld device.
Now you're you're just like, I have backscratchers. Yeah, scratched
my back. Well, if I didn't come, then I want
a backscratch. That's fair. It's a fair trait. It is
totally fair, and I love getting my back scratch and
(05:32):
oh my god, that's my favorite part. I feel like
that part's like, you know, it feels selfish too much.
I want them to be part of it, right, Yeah,
so get those backscratches. Everyone likest their back scratched, but
no one is like, this is an untapped market. Just
you know, dog, we can all be involved. What if
(05:55):
you know there's like a smr and that like porn
stuff with feet We did like a scratch. Yeah, but
how can a YouTube channel scratch your back? Yeah? They
just watch you just watch someone scratch. I don't want
to do that. Back scratching is a very your back
on film tactile. Yeah, it's fine. You need no weird
(06:17):
stuff for friends. Do you want to watch this backscratching compilation?
I mean that's all my back. Yeah, I mean asleep,
what I did, It already exists. I can just already said.
What is something you think is overraight of fast food?
Hip burger chains? Fast food hip? Yeah, so like in
(06:39):
and Out and shake Shack. I think they're highly overrated
and has terrible French fries. They Shake Shack is tiny burgers.
Long lines Yeah, long lines for what? Longlines for what?
That's how that song goes and finally, what is a myth?
(07:00):
What's something people think it's true? You know to be
false that if you pee on a jellyfish sting it
helps it. It doesn't what people just out here trying
to pee on people. We can also make those videos
like we could make those videos are made. I just
trolled beaches when it needs to get paid on Hey jellyfish. No,
(07:25):
I didn't come here. Did that happen to you? No?
I don't let people pee on me. But how do
you know it's not true because it's a it's a myth. No,
because he did it on Oh do you Live Your
Life by Friends? Yeah, it still holds up. Yeah, that
(07:48):
is a myth. And that is a really good question
of how that particular myth comes because some dude was
just like, oh, yeah, I know what I'll do. This
person is in pain. I think I'll just pay on them.
Yeah that's what I think. That's Oh yeah, no, no, no,
I read in a book that it helps story about it?
(08:09):
You coming here tomorrow? Yeah? On again, that's what happened. Yeah,
And I bet partially it was like someone got caught
peeing on themselves or something, and that was the explanation
they gave. I think there are actual things that you're
supposed to pee on. Is that correct? Maybe that maybe
(08:29):
they're confused sticks toilets, A bundle of sticks. I like
that for sport in the South and was like, hey, man,
come pay on these. Yeah. I feel like that kind
of defeats the purpose. You start with one stick, and
then you see how many sticks you can pee on.
(08:51):
You just keep like, is someone they're feeding the sticks?
It's a family, all right, guys, let's get into the
pressing news that we've been missing out on over our
holiday breaks. How is everybody's holiday, by the way, good? Great, wonderful.
(09:16):
I had a good time. I was not allowing any
negative stories there. I was just like it was good, right, Yeah,
I think everyone everyone's here, Yeah, everybody seems relaxed. Well,
Kanye has been volatile, believe it or not. What do
you stop? It been hot and cold? You would say. So,
this is actually a good example of why we stopped
(09:38):
doing a segment of the show we used to do
called bloyd Watch, where we would look at the covers
of tabloids and talk about, you know, the news contained
therein and whether we thought it was true because sometimes
tabloids do get things wrong. But they literally have two
baseless claims that they make about celebrities. They're that they're
(10:00):
getting divorced or that they're pregnant. And they guessed exactly
wrong with Kim and Kanye because they've been saying they're
getting a divorce for the past year and it turns
out there intentionally pregnant via a surrogate. So they're actively
family planning when they were supposed to be trying to
(10:21):
divorce one another. But that's big news in the world
of Kanye and Kim. Well, I think all their kids
have been very excited to be I bet you're making
a ship ton of money. It's curious fun. They're like,
what's up, brownie? Do you want to carry this baby?
(10:43):
I would be like, yeah, how much? And then I
would be like, do you want me to sign this contract?
Then I give it to you. No. I wouldn't hold
a baby hostage on the run. Is that the kind
of person we are? I don't know much. Everything would
do it just for the story, just for the bloy.
(11:03):
Just like you know, in forty years, tell my grandkids like, yeah,
your parents are We're gonna talk a little bit. Well,
now we're gonna talk a little bit later about things
movies are predicted for. And I honestly think that that
is probably a more like, for instance, Handmaid's Tale. You
(11:25):
just described Handmaid's Tale, except instead of being hunted by
like the Dystopian government, you're being hunted by Kim and Kanye.
Isn't that the same thing? Yeah? Well, you mean the
Kardashians isn't spinoff of the Handmaids down right? It's very
similar in many ways. Yeah, it's also Kanye is crazy again,
(11:49):
like he's back off the wagon. He claims he loves
Trump again. All day he said, uh, and we'll be
rocking a Maga hat on stage. And then he also
got met at Drake four were following his wife on Instagram,
even though she has a nine million followers on Instagram.
He said, I never knew till this morning that Drake
(12:10):
followed my wife on Instagram back in September. I had
to bring this up because it's the most fucked up
thing of all. Imagine having a problem with somebody and
they follow your wife on Instagram. We truly wish this
man the best and pray that he will find the
same happiness that we have. So yeah, it's somewhat confusing.
Oh my god, I can't wait to be this rich
(12:32):
and delusional. Yeah, pajama rich. He would say, what's so
they have beef? Yeah, they have beef. Like there there
was all sorts of Drake thought Kanye told push a
t about his secret child. Uh, and I forgot about that. Yeah,
And they both are like acknowledging that it's like wrestling
(12:53):
stuff and it's all fake, Like they keep referring to
it as like a wrestling feud. And but then like
you can tell their feelings are actually hurt by each
other because I will ask, is Drake like a dangerous guy?
Because he talks about it, he wraps about it, but
he seems like the safest of them all. He seems
(13:13):
like a college undergrad. You know. It's like they're not
safest of them all, I know, especially not at Baylor.
What's up? Sorry, I just came back from Texas. So yeah,
there's a lot of Texas material and really angry. They
all got away with it anyways, and they always do anyways.
(13:36):
Back to cock, back to comedy, to Drake. Yeah, I
mean when I see Drake, I'm like here's a safe
man with a beard who acts tough. But is it
it is dangerous that a bubby has a bubby? Come on?
I feel like Drake has some sense that he doesn't
(13:59):
come off like he's always trying to meet like the
hardness and like anger of rap in some way, but
because he doesn't have anything to be angry about, and
he's kind of a soft dude, Like he just ends
up being like mad about really stupid ship. Yeah, he's
(14:19):
just like real, real upset and sensitive and that's okay
to be. Yeah, yeah, I think it is fine. I mean, like,
if we're allowing other people to express their feelings and
be sensitive, we have to also extend it to rappers.
But he does seem to spend a lot of his
time in paying homage to the original values of rap,
(14:42):
like being like, yeah, but I have friends who will
kill you, so that makes me to friend if Yeah, alright, Drake,
let's talk about Louis c k get today. Yeah, speaking
of men getting away with it, he just did four
(15:03):
nine minutes of stand up somebody recorded, uploaded to YouTube,
and it, I don't know, It's not great. It makes
fun of non binary people, it makes fun of the
Parkland kids. He's like, he says that he doesn't think
surviving a school shooting makes you inherently interesting, but it
(15:23):
just I don't know. I started listening to it. I'll
listen to the whole thing and report back on tomorrow's episode.
But it does seem like he has taken the Like
he starts out talking about what a bad year he had,
and it seems like he thinks the year happened to
him like that. He doesn't, he didn't do anything. And
(15:46):
Dana Gould former guest Dana Gould was saying, like, when
Richard Pryor came out to do stand up after, you know,
lighting himself on fire free Basing, he knew he had
to like make himself the butt of the joke and
acknowledge his part in the problem that he had just
become famous for having. And it seems like Louis c.
K is instead just like, man, that was a bad
(16:09):
thing that happened to me, huh, and then kind of
and moving on just trying to like some people are
defending him as this is what his jokes have always
been like, And I think that's kind of the problem,
is that like his old material doesn't really work. That
hasn't evolved at all. Right, Yeah, I mean I don't
(16:31):
care that he came back to stand up, but yeah,
if he's not addressing anything that we all kind of
want him to address. Yeah, and then he says dumb shift, right,
which like when he talked about, um, you know, punching
a baby deer in the face, We're just like, oh,
that crazy guy, right, and now it's like, oh, who
(16:54):
are you? Who are you trying to like punch down
to right? I mean he's always been like part of
his thing has always been being able to get people
to give him the benefit of the doubt via his performance,
Like that was a large part of like, and then
he would say incredibly fucked up things, but you would
(17:14):
just let him because of I don't know his stage
presence or whatever. But now that doesn't work as well.
When you're revealed to not deserve the benefit of that doubt,
I guess, well it's been revealed. It's like he's not
a good person. Where he passed to be like, oh,
you're a normal person that has these thoughts that some
(17:35):
of us always have been, you're reflecting that, and now
it's like, oh, you're just trash. And the ship about
like I have to listen to these Parkland kids like
you pushed a did like you pushed a fat kid. Yeah,
out of the way. And then it just like what
the funk? Like that's number one, not even a good joke.
It's not a good joke. It's open my stuff. But
I was talking to someone about this earlier. It's it's
(17:57):
kind of like he's just maybe the left has has
now been like bye bye, but the right who will,
like you, probably enjoy those jokes and be like, yeah
he was wrongly whatever, And now he's talking about stuff
I want to talk about. Yeah, like we'll get an audience.
(18:18):
We lost what forty three million and thirty minutes or something?
What was that complain that that was his first thing
that he lost thirty million and like one day masturbated
in front of some people that you and I know, right,
it wasn't like a bad day on the stock market. Yeah,
like oh yeah, alright, Well, guys are gonna take a
(18:38):
quick break. We'll be right back and her back and
uh the app that's driving everybody crazy this uh week,
I don't know. Uh yeah, it's been a long time
(19:01):
off guys. Uh yeah, So Twinning. Have you guys done
the Twinning app? Now? Now? No? No. I thought it
was like a bad tweet that everybody was trying to mimic.
You know, everybody tries to do a meme. I didn't
really have an app. I just thought, my friends are
making bad means. It's not even an app, that's of
a web page. I'm just mad because they said I
(19:24):
looked most like a bachelor, a former bachelor. Um, I
look like a former bachelor when not smiling. When I
have glasses on, I look like Rich Summer from Mad Men. Notably,
we have the exact same glasses, so that was I
think the only similarity is he the one that that
became like a hard Krishna for like a minute. Did
(19:46):
he know he was the one? He was hairy? He
was just always like a sour dick. I can't remember
all those angry, angry white guys in the sixties. Yeah,
into one guys. But anyways, none of the three people
that I supposedly look like look like each other, so
I don't know. Just objectively, as an online experience, the
(20:09):
Google app is that told you what piece of art
or character from a work of art you look like.
It's just a better experience objectively, Like, it seems like
it actually found someone who looked like you. Where is
this is just like looks for superficial similarities? Wow? Are
you okay about this? I'm fine. Um, we just have
(20:37):
matching glasses, not a form of the Other thing that
is not great about this app is that they leaked
people's Like there was just like zero security from the start,
and so there was just a folder anyone could get
to that was holding all of the images that people
(20:59):
were uploading to the web page. So pretty corny. Yeah,
it's pretty horny. Just some developers just clicking through photos. Right, Yeah,
what about this? This is my new avatar? Hello, I'll
be friends. The grossest sound ever. Yeah, that is such
a gross Well I'm glad I didn't do it. I
(21:21):
glad I didn't fall into the trap. I know. We
were like, oh, have you done it? Now? You should
check it out, and then explained to you what the
problem was and this was a pop sugar dot com thing.
It was a pop Sugar dot com. Um, I think
they did not because after the whole story about them
(21:42):
leaking things broke, I then uploaded my own picture. Do
you think that was a conspiracy thing like users are
starting to dip, so pop sugar was like no telements,
not secure, and then people went to it again probably
like you know one of those like marketing, like we'll
create a disaster and people want to see the car
(22:02):
right now. I'm sure it was a disaster. I'm sure
there are a bunch of dummies or just like whatever.
I feel like pop sugar dot com and I need
to have a great talk and it feels like do
you ever see that the John Oliver He had that
show a long time ago. This was really horrible about
like I'm gonna stop fat people from existing and uh
it was like he went to the fattest city in
(22:24):
America and was like I want to stop everyone from
being fat and it was gross. But he did this
thing with like a bunch of kids where he showed
them how chicken nuggs were made. Were like he stripped
down a carcass, grinded the bones up, then like just
show them how awful it was. And at the end
he's like, now who wants one? And they're all like me,
(22:44):
I love chicken because they're delicious. You just can't as
bad as stuff. People were like not John Oliver. Wait, Jamie,
but I wish it was John Oliver. I was super
what that John Oliver was? Sorry everyone, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. Yeah,
(23:09):
not to be confused with celebrity anxiety ridden human John Oliver.
But I feel like this is, uh, you know, one
of those examples of the fun face that we're putting
on the dystopian nightmare that we're sort of lower being
slowly lowered into. Because what do you mean slowly right, Well,
(23:31):
it's yeah, but it's something that it's not like, oh
my god. And then Skynet became self aware and like
launched all the nukes at the same time. It's like
we're slowly just walking down the steps into the dystopia.
But because they're like fun things like ah, you look
like Tom Cruise that it's just like I do look
(23:53):
like Yeah, Tom Cruise was on there when I smiled.
So I'll tell you what celebrity you smell like. If
it's your last four digits of your social I gotta know,
I gotta know that's I know I shouldn't do it, um,
but yeah, I mean so like the facial recognition thing
(24:16):
is London. London's police force just alright. So we're joined
by one of the bobbies. Hey, officer crumbledon. Uh So
they were they were using facial recognition and facial scanning
(24:39):
technology to scan the faces of Christmas shoppers in London
thievery boogers. I think they were worried about, you know, terrorism,
also shoplifting. I'm sure it was at the top of
their list. They saw home alone and we're like, God,
not on my watch, it's Christmas time, brit Uh. But
(25:02):
you know it's China is really good at it because
they have like all of their citizens faces in a
database and so they've been able to algorithmically just figure
out how to match facial technology. But I think in
the West we're still not great at it because a
whopping of the matches used by the technology were mistakes.
(25:26):
In the case of the London Police Force. Oh yeah,
remember David Schwimmer. What happened? David was fake David Swimmer.
It's not a facial recognition thing, but the dude got
caught on the security camera like stealing beer. Right, yeah,
it looks like David Swimmer. Ross David. I know you
keep saying his name, Yes, I know, David. Yeah, wait
(25:50):
who wasn't If you say it enough, is he gonna appear?
So I'm doing it. Hey, we're on a book. He
does have like a vague Texas accent to yeah, I
will say you towards the end of the season, because
(26:12):
my roommate and I were like watching it, yeah, and
he started getting kind of buff. Oh yeah. Well once
they're like like ross, what are you doing? Yeah. I
feel like that happens sometimes because they see themselves on camera,
and so as they're becoming more seen by more people,
(26:33):
they're also like having less touch with reality and fewer
and fewer people tell them like, no, your job is
not to look awesome on camera. It's to play the
role of this insecure paleontologist. But he was a paleontologist
or like a paleontologist, you know, handsome, buff paleontology professor.
(26:58):
I don't know, that's probably I'm sure I'm sucking up
some watched friends ever. Um. But yeah, and then once
you get to the peak of your fame, you stopped
changing everything about yourself, which is why Michael Jordan's still
dresses like it's yeah, well it caught up eventually. Yeah,
(27:18):
Now he's the Pinnacle style exactly. Yeah, I did come
back around and just keep dressing the way you're dressing.
It'll show up again eventually. Amazon has patented a new
doorbell camera that would be equipped with technology that allows
the device to gather data and identify people considered to
(27:38):
be quote suspicious, which is scary. Does it also squirt
water out of it and people ring it got you?
That would be again, that would be like the fun
version of this is that it would like have you
know it looks like some video getting squirted in the
(27:59):
face Tom Cruise movie. Facial recognition, Yeah, or arrest people
before they do something, yes, yeah, that is identity nope,
minority report. Yeah, but they have facial scanners and retina
(28:20):
scanners all over the place in that one. So we're
getting there. We're getting there. All right, Let's let's talk
once again about I've been missing him because I didn't.
I chose not to pay attention to the news as
much as possible. Over Well, we took some time off,
but he's back our president ever. Yeah, he's still doing it,
(28:45):
still at it, you guys. President Donald Trump had a
sort of half press conference like televised meeting yesterday full
of just a lot of comedic highlights. He was surrounded
by people I didn't recognize, and then super producer Nick
Stuff pointed out that that was his cabinet and it's
just you don't recognize any of them because he's like
(29:08):
fired all of them or they've all quit in the past,
like their subordinates. Yeah, it's all just yeah people people
who are in the hallway who were willing to come in. Uh,
did you finally hire that a kid mowing the lawn? Yeah?
I think he did so. Here just a quick highlight reel.
(29:28):
He boasted he would have been a great general. He
insisted his generals were better looking than Tom Cruise and stronger,
even our five star general Tom Cruise. Right. He complained
that he spent Christmas all alone at the White House,
quote except for all the guys out on the lawn
with machine guns, which sounds like a crazy like I
(29:50):
I get what he was saying, because there are snipers everywhere,
but it doesn't. It sounds like a confused old man
who just like was looking out the window of the
White House was like it sounds like the start of
a Sindbad movie. Sinbad Home for Christmas at the White House. Yeah,
old man President's not having a good time. But nixt
(30:13):
Tuff just pointed out that he did specify that they
were the nicest machine guns he'd ever seen, and I
think that he waved to a couple of the guys
with the machine guns, so there was a particularly confused moment.
The Tom Cruise kind of ramble was particularly weird. So
he said, I had a meeting at the Pentagon with
(30:34):
lots of generals. They were like from a movie, better
looking than Tom Cruise and stronger. Laughs alone, nobody else
is laughing. Everyone's like, uh, and I had more generals
than I've ever seen and we were at the bottom
of this incredible room. It doesn't sound like military respect,
(30:58):
Yeah exactly, I said, I said, and then my dad
was there, but it really wasn't my dad. It was
actually a gun, right, doesn't it sound like then? Okay,
this is I'm continuing to read this quote. I said,
this is the greatest room I've ever seen, with more
computer boards than they make today. That's great. Our military
(31:19):
should be ahead of its time. Computer boards, computer boards
then they make today, What does that make them? That's
how many we have? Yeah? One computer started great collection.
Our military is strong, powerful and technical bunch of those
those I phone chargers just lined up and it's almost
(31:44):
as if they're just intending to make great comedic videos,
and maybe that's what's happening. Everybody around him have just
decided we're going to make this presidency as funny as possible,
because at the end of the press conference, they panned
out to reveal that a Game of Thrones inspired meme
where it was like Trump looking and it said sanctions
(32:05):
are coming, and he retweeted it. He just had a
poster sized version of that meme on the table in
front of him. Our tax dollars paid for this, all
of this, he's just all of this. I'm getting fucked
on taxes so our president can print a team? Was it?
(32:29):
I really hope it wasn't mean that's like just regular printer,
but tile get me a print out of that. Imagine
being like the fucking intern or like his son, and
it was like what he would He was like, haven't
got to got to go like FedEx print that on
cardboard and someone will be like, what is this. It's
like this is for your preson Is this for your
(32:50):
fourteen year old? They'd be like, no, this for the president.
It does make it hard to take seriously. I feel
like maybe it's maybe that's the goal. It's so depressed.
But the people who this resonates with it makes total sense.
It does especially like, you know a lot of people
(33:12):
are like older people and then also weird rich people
that are that are educated. And it does sound also isolated.
It does sound like an elderly person without any context
walking into a modern workplace just being like they were
computer boards. And this guy, he's as handsome as Tom Cruise.
This is almost like when you work for a streaming
(33:34):
service in production and it's so easy. You just upload
something to like content Hub or a Google doc, and
then you have older executives who don't know how to
use a computer, so you have to print out a
DVD and slide it under the door, and they don't
even watch it. You can hear. Anyways, I have just
some work stuff coming up, just some shade and old producers.
(34:00):
You know who you are, old ass Fox. Hey, Well,
speaking of old ass Fox, old ass Fox, Romney, leader
of the Resistance. Imagine him going down, going down a
(34:21):
comment to scratch my back and find that whatever scratches
he could do anything. Romney clips his fingernails every morning.
That's dope considered. Maybe he's like superhuman fan erotica for
you guys, I would look at that. I don't think
I would look at Trump fins erotica of Romney fighting
(34:45):
Joe Biden and then as they're rolling on the ground.
Sounds like you're writing one of your own. So Mitt
Romney announced that he would be the new leader of
the Resistance with bed in the Washington Post, where he
criticized Trump on like manners. Basically, it seems like, which
(35:08):
is something you see a lot with people who oppose
Trump who are still sort of part of the mainstream
political elite and the mainstream media. Even is that they're
complaint with Trump seems to be more based on, you know,
the fact that he doesn't show respect for these institutions.
(35:28):
And it's you know, because the things that mainstream Republicans
are for are still pretty monstrous. Like the places that
they differentiate themselves from Trump are just you know that
he makes it sound as bad as it is in
a lot of cases, he's like, doesn't try to sugarcoat
things that much. I mean, I think there is some
(35:51):
validity to the complaint that like the whole he's not
politically correct. Thing is bad because you know, racism has
contained you to become more public and acceptable among racists,
and hate crimes are more common, and uh, you know
there's something to be said for that. And he also
pointed out that in two thousand sixteen, Pew research of
(36:15):
people in Germany and Britain and France and Canada saying
they believe the American president would do the right thing,
and one year later that number had fallen to six.
So that's not great because we're at a time in
history where you kind of need somebody to be a leader,
have like some is the leader now, right whatever, back
(36:42):
onto this podcast. Huh, reading these quotes comes to the
dating side. Yeah, this will be I don't know. He
still like structures his entire critique, like on the subject
of sevility and like that Trump shows poor character and that,
(37:04):
you know, we need a leader who has who is
a man of character. And some people are speculating that
this is the first step in Romney's plan to primary
Trump in I'm yeah, in the primary Trump in neurotic piction.
Oh yeah, he's just so robotic and in like, when
(37:30):
asked what his favorite meat was, he said hot dog.
And when I asked what his second favorite meat was,
he said hamburger. Um, like I just would he know
how to nibble like what I do. Probably eats people,
that's the thing. So rich, he probably eats people and
that's his favorite. Have you guys talked about that rich
(37:53):
guy in Florida? He didn't eat people, but he was
a child pedophile. And did we talk about this? We have, Yeah,
the guy who's a billionaire who was recruiting child sex
workers from marl Lago. Yeah what Yeah, I got kind
(38:13):
of got hushed. But the Miami Harold had this huge
expose about it. A lot of people were like, whoops.
But the guy who he's friends with this guy but
a lot of people that he serviced were so powerful
that they just shut it down. Oh so they would
he would go to mar lag and be like everybody. Well,
he also had a private island in a private jet
(38:36):
where a lot of these things real monster It's like
straight up the stuff you see in a Hollywood movie
with a Tom Cruise who's trying to save Spacey. The
guy's name is Jeffrey Epstein and people should check out
the Miami Harold ship about him. But Anyways, it's evening.
(38:58):
I think there was a poll that said that a
large portion of Iah Winds would approve of somebody trying
to challenge Trump in the primary. So and I was
obviously randomly important when it comes to presidential primaries. I
feel like people are getting tired of him. Yeah, yeah,
it seems like that might be happening. The government shutdown
(39:21):
doesn't seem like it's playing well with his base, according
to the five thirty eight Trump Popularity Ometer. Things see.
I still I think his base would still be like
it's a Democrat. Yeah, they're the reason because they won't
give our leader his money. That's what I assumed, But
I always assumed they just would be that on all things.
(39:42):
And for whatever reason, his approval rating is going down
and his disapproval rating is going up over the past
like five days, and that seems to be the thing
that changed, Like usually it takes a week for the
news cycle to filter down into a pinion polls, and
that seems like it's the thing that people are acting to.
But who knows. Maybe it was the fact that he
(40:05):
clearly has no concept of Christmas and hates Christmas, and
there's a Christmas movie villain. There are so many things
it's very hard to figure out. Actually, literally he's not
not really machine guns. Yes, just the best you've ever seen.
All right, we're going to take another quick break and
we'll be right back. And we're back. And I wanted
(40:37):
to take a look at what movies have predicted for
this year of Our Lord, because this was actually a
pretty significant year in dystopian movie history. Blade Runner takes place.
(40:58):
They predicted flying cars, lifelike human replicants, and everybody would
still smoke inside government buildings. Which but yeah, I guess
flying cars is something that people are making progress on,
but it's looking more like a thing. So they were
(41:18):
only sixteen years too early. But I guess with drone
technology and well, the replicants are are real. Are They
haven't seen that robot that can jump over boxes? Yes?
Have you seen that with the Dynamo Big Dog or whatever.
It's scary, it's scary. I think there. I think the
(41:39):
robot war is coming and they're all going to like
Sophia or what's Sophie who's now a Saudi Arabian citizen,
what's the robot? I think her name is Sophie, who's
a Saudi Arabian citizen. She's not a journalist, she can
(41:59):
be reprogram Yeah, and then and then Japan now has
a hotel that's completely run by robots. Robot, but those
robots are fake because they're like on a track. It's
not like yeah, it's more like, for now, you don't
know that robot could be having thoughts. West World was
a documentary like you're trying to challenge me right now
and I don't know why. Okay, you do not disagree
(42:23):
with the co host guest for now. The everything Blade
Runner clearly got right is that Atari is our biggest corporation.
The Atari runs everything, as as does pan Am Airlines.
Those are two of the big lake logos you see everywhere,
(42:46):
and the Blade Running universe. But yeah, they generally predicted
the fact that the world would be a lot of
lights and weird simulations and people distracting themselves. So I
was right, Yeah, they kind of nailed that. The Running Man,
which is an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle uh in which he
(43:08):
is framed for murder and then has to fight, slash
run his way out of a murder game show, sounds
far fetched, but Jenny, as you pointed, out. They have
like very specific like deep fake things that they called.
Didn't also have two governors in it? Did it was
(43:29):
Jesse the Body venture in it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
two governors in that movie. Yeah, it was a lot
of people have referred to The Running Man as a
launching pad for politics for a lot of great political careers.
Obama got his start in The Running Man. He was
but yeah, deep fakes like they're they're able to just
manipulate videos in a way that is it's pretty impressive
(43:53):
that they got it as right as they did because
when you look at what they thought digital media was
going to look like, or like special effects or any
technology like Escape from New York, they have like everything
is still in like a three dimensional like green and
black matrix. So the fact that Running Man knew that
(44:15):
we would be messing with the ability to like put
someone into an actual video or remove them as pretty impressive.
And yeah, I mean it's a really cheesy game show
host is incredibly influential in that movies. So when the
girl goes through their shoot, I remember they one of
(44:38):
her the reason what is it called where she did
a bad thing? What of her cries her sin her sins.
One of the sins was that she like had a
premarital sex. Did you listen to it? I remember watching it.
(44:59):
I watched it very racent. Okay, wait they say pre
marital sex, like pre marital sex or she had sex
with more than one person, Like yeah, probably I was
just listening to that and being like, oh that was
considered bad they I mean, that's just kind to put
(45:21):
that out there. That's the girl who Arnold Schwarzenegger like
is incredibly violent towards at the beginning and ends up
kissing him hit her, yeah, like basically just like an
takes her as a hostage, but she ends up being
into him. But yeah, I mean that is kind of
(45:44):
a wild h you hear that? Guys? That is kind
of like I I know that for a lot of
my childhood, I thought that history only went in one
direction that like you, things got better or like more progressive,
(46:04):
I guess. And so for a movie where everything is
all future but people have more conservative morality, that's kind
of a a challenging idea for an Arnold Schwartz and
air action movie to be like, yes, and they will
view premarital sex as a sin punishable by running man death. Yeah.
(46:27):
The Island, now we're getting to the classics. Michael bays.
The Island tells the story of a island that's like
supposed to be a utopia, but all the people spoiler alert, guys,
all the people are actually clones who are just there
too provide rich people with oregon. I've never seen this either.
(46:50):
It's actually not a classic. I was being sarcastic. Do
the clones do they become aware that they're They do
and you and McGregor breaks out, but he's so he's
an and she and another a woman clone. They decide
to break out once they realize that they're just meat. Yeah,
(47:11):
just meet just organs for their How do they find out?
I don't know. I actually a real dumb I know
they don't they do? You've seen it? No, I'm gonna
have to Wikipedia this. Daybreakers and Ethan Hawk movie cigarettes cigarettesers,
(47:34):
Daybreakers cigarettes for men. That's what that sounds like. You
Sometimes cigarettes are just two girls, just enormous cigarettes. They're
just like really real big and phallic cigarettes. Don't worry.
It's not like you're sucking on someone else's dick. It's
(47:56):
your own. It's don't worried. It's your cigars. Don't worry,
Just pretend it's your dick. Um. Anyways, this movie is
actually about a plague that turns a large portion of
humanity into vampires. So I hope it doesn't happen in
my right Guess no, it's probably not going to happen,
(48:19):
unless we're speaking metaphorically, in which case it's already happened.
This is going in the romney. Yeah, on goop dot
com you can get a psychic vampire spray? Is that true?
What does that mean? Maybe there's a psychic vampire in
your life. You're an emotional vampire, you know, sucking the
emotions out of you, and you spray them. Oh, and
(48:42):
it keeps them off. It's like AWA for emotional vampires. Yeah,
I got it. Well, if you had like thirty bucks
and you didn't want to shoot on it just by
that stuff, did you seem defensive about it? Guest exco Anyways,
(49:07):
So Daybreakers, I mean, it was just a vampire movie.
It's like a vampire movie with a zombie movie premise.
Everybody gets turned into vampires via a zombie Plague's turned
me into a vampire? Who's like that? Kristen Dunst in
that movie when she's a child. Yeah, it's weird interview
with the vampire when she's like, I'm a kid, I
(49:29):
don't want to be a kid anymore. It's like, well,
guess what, you became a vampire when you were seven.
So now we're on Akira and Akira is Akira got
kind of the most hard to call detail right, and
that they predicted the Olympics would be in Tokyo, which
is pretty crazy. It was a movie that came out
(49:49):
in two or I guess it was the manga appeared
in two. I'd say, out of all the movies your name,
this is the best one. Yeah, well I saved it
for last. Doesn't have a killer teddy baronet? Yeah, don't
you remember that? Dope as fun? Man, I'm gonna watch
(50:15):
it when I go. But there's also like a you
need know what, there's probably some fucking piece of ship
all the ask producer, can you get that on VHS
for me? Piece old ship? Hack of what sounds dumb?
Let's but they also get the fact that the Olympics
(50:38):
is like a great way to justify your police state, correct,
which was a take that everybody on the internet was
making like around the two thousand and twelve Olympics, so
again ahead of their time. And yeah, those are the
movies that take place in So thank some of those
dystopias sound better than what we're going through, because at
(51:01):
least then you can like be mad at the dystopic
government that is like holding the people down via force, whereas,
like we talked about earlier, we're just all kind of
doing it to ourselves, which one as. I still like
the cute apps personally. So of the movies, oh, probably
(51:23):
probably the running Man running Man, Yeah, because well I've
only really seen a Cura, so I guess that. Okay,
what about you all? That day Breaker sounds pretty good. Yeah, yeah,
I mean you're just turned into a vampire. Vampires are
like sexy and stuff. All vampire movies are just sponsored
content content for cigarettes anyways, and sucking your own did
(51:54):
dick Breakers that's the that's my wrestling name Breaker, that's
a great wrestling man w w E. Speaking of w
w E, we have two sad passings that happened yesterday,

box Office reports, TV ratings, was trending on Hughes and
social media's It's Thursday, January three. My name is Jack O'Brien,

I love it. I love doing podcast. Yes, well, we're
through to be joined in our third seat by the
hilarious comedian Jenny is a green guy ight Gang Gang. Yeah.
(01:09):
It feels bad to say it because it's it's like,
oh yeah, I lean fully in and just say it
like angry. Well, anyways, Jenny, it's great to have you.
Happy to be here. Your hair looks great. I wish
our listeners could see. Oh, thank you. I got one
(01:30):
of those bellaged shook called bliss. Isn't that little a bailage? John?
It sounds like a meat loaf, like a meat dish.
What is it? I don't know how to pronounce it.
It's a hair hair thing where it goes dark to light.
(01:51):
I just assumed you had I had a T shirt
that did that. Yeah, greedy to your two shirt single.
Hey Jenny, we're gonna get to know you a little
bit better in a moment. But first we're gonna tell
our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.
(02:11):
We're gonna check in with Kanye West, see what he
spent his holiday break doing. Also Louis E. K. Also,
we're gonna talk about that twinning app that all the
kids are talking about it's all the rage. And we're
gonna talk about that wild s press conference not really
a press conference, sort of televised meeting that Trump had,
(02:33):
and many many other things. We're gonna be talking really
fast today. But first, Jenny, we like to ask our guest,
what is something from your search history that is revealing
about who you are? Oh? Well, I searched flu symptoms
for dogs? Oh no, can dogs get the flu? Dogs
can get the flu. Yeah, did you know that? Now?
(02:55):
You do know? I didn't know until earlier today. So
that's the kind of first. And I am just looking
up dog symptoms. Okay, and you have a dog. I'm
assuming I do have a dog, but I actually I
wasn't even looking them up for my dog. Is for
someone else's dog. So I'm a caring person. What are
the symptoms of dog flu um? Just sick stuffy noses?
(03:17):
Do we want to go over there? Pretty much the
same s Well, some people may not know. The dog's
gonna ship, dog's gonna vomit, dog's gonna sh either way. Yeah.
But like my experience, a lot when they have or
like you know, like panting, thank you, lethargic, they're tired.
(03:41):
They just want to watch Netflix all day. I think
my dog has had the flu for his entire life. Then,
because no, I have a cavalier soft dog ragging over here.
I think you might have heard of those cavalier King Charles,
(04:03):
but he is he is not. He's twelve years old.
And mostly, yes, Jenny, what is something you think is underrated? Okay,
this is very important to me. I think that back
scratchers are underrated, okay, because okay, I love I really like,
(04:27):
thank you ever appointed. She pointed at me and we
felt it. The connection. It was vibrant um sparks flew
from her fingers. But at every massage place you go to,
you can always get like massages or like hot stones
or all this crap, but no one's ever like back
scratching and all those things. And it is the best.
(04:47):
It is the best. I've gotten to the point where like,
if I'll have a one night stand and I'm not
having a good time, I'll just be like, stop what
you're doing, scratch money minute, And they're more weirded out
by that request, like they're like that's too intimate, and
I'm like, you're awful. Yeah, just get on the back.
So you were making fun of me for being high fluting,
(05:11):
but then you were referring to humans as backscratchers most
of it, Like I was picturing like the handheld device.
Now you're you're just like, I have backscratchers. Yeah, scratched
my back. Well, if I didn't come, then I want
a backscratch. That's fair. It's a fair trait. It is
totally fair, and I love getting my back scratch and
(05:32):
oh my god, that's my favorite part. I feel like
that part's like, you know, it feels selfish too much.
I want them to be part of it, right, Yeah,
so get those backscratches. Everyone likest their back scratched, but
no one is like, this is an untapped market. Just
you know, dog, we can all be involved. What if
(05:55):
you know there's like a smr and that like porn
stuff with feet We did like a scratch. Yeah, but
how can a YouTube channel scratch your back? Yeah? They
just watch you just watch someone scratch. I don't want
to do that. Back scratching is a very your back
on film tactile. Yeah, it's fine. You need no weird
(06:17):
stuff for friends. Do you want to watch this backscratching compilation?
I mean that's all my back. Yeah, I mean asleep,
what I did, It already exists. I can just already said.
What is something you think is overraight of fast food?
Hip burger chains? Fast food hip? Yeah, so like in
(06:39):
and Out and shake Shack. I think they're highly overrated
and has terrible French fries. They Shake Shack is tiny burgers.
Long lines Yeah, long lines for what? Longlines for what?
That's how that song goes and finally, what is a myth?
(07:00):
What's something people think it's true? You know to be
false that if you pee on a jellyfish sting it
helps it. It doesn't what people just out here trying
to pee on people. We can also make those videos
like we could make those videos are made. I just
trolled beaches when it needs to get paid on Hey jellyfish. No,
(07:25):
I didn't come here. Did that happen to you? No?
I don't let people pee on me. But how do
you know it's not true because it's a it's a myth. No,
because he did it on Oh do you Live Your
Life by Friends? Yeah, it still holds up. Yeah, that
(07:48):
is a myth. And that is a really good question
of how that particular myth comes because some dude was
just like, oh, yeah, I know what I'll do. This
person is in pain. I think I'll just pay on them.
Yeah that's what I think. That's Oh yeah, no, no, no,
I read in a book that it helps story about it?
(08:09):
You coming here tomorrow? Yeah? On again, that's what happened. Yeah,
And I bet partially it was like someone got caught
peeing on themselves or something, and that was the explanation
they gave. I think there are actual things that you're
supposed to pee on. Is that correct? Maybe that maybe
(08:29):
they're confused sticks toilets, A bundle of sticks. I like
that for sport in the South and was like, hey, man,
come pay on these. Yeah. I feel like that kind
of defeats the purpose. You start with one stick, and
then you see how many sticks you can pee on.
(08:51):
You just keep like, is someone they're feeding the sticks?
It's a family, all right, guys, let's get into the
pressing news that we've been missing out on over our
holiday breaks. How is everybody's holiday, by the way, good? Great, wonderful.
(09:16):
I had a good time. I was not allowing any
negative stories there. I was just like it was good, right, Yeah,
I think everyone everyone's here, Yeah, everybody seems relaxed. Well,
Kanye has been volatile, believe it or not. What do
you stop? It been hot and cold? You would say. So,
this is actually a good example of why we stopped
(09:38):
doing a segment of the show we used to do
called bloyd Watch, where we would look at the covers
of tabloids and talk about, you know, the news contained
therein and whether we thought it was true because sometimes
tabloids do get things wrong. But they literally have two
baseless claims that they make about celebrities. They're that they're
(10:00):
getting divorced or that they're pregnant. And they guessed exactly
wrong with Kim and Kanye because they've been saying they're
getting a divorce for the past year and it turns
out there intentionally pregnant via a surrogate. So they're actively
family planning when they were supposed to be trying to
(10:21):
divorce one another. But that's big news in the world
of Kanye and Kim. Well, I think all their kids
have been very excited to be I bet you're making
a ship ton of money. It's curious fun. They're like,
what's up, brownie? Do you want to carry this baby?
(10:43):
I would be like, yeah, how much? And then I
would be like, do you want me to sign this contract?
Then I give it to you. No. I wouldn't hold
a baby hostage on the run. Is that the kind
of person we are? I don't know much. Everything would
do it just for the story, just for the bloy.
(11:03):
Just like you know, in forty years, tell my grandkids like, yeah,
your parents are We're gonna talk a little bit. Well,
now we're gonna talk a little bit later about things
movies are predicted for. And I honestly think that that
is probably a more like, for instance, Handmaid's Tale. You
(11:25):
just described Handmaid's Tale, except instead of being hunted by
like the Dystopian government, you're being hunted by Kim and Kanye.
Isn't that the same thing? Yeah? Well, you mean the
Kardashians isn't spinoff of the Handmaids down right? It's very
similar in many ways. Yeah, it's also Kanye is crazy again,
(11:49):
like he's back off the wagon. He claims he loves
Trump again. All day he said, uh, and we'll be
rocking a Maga hat on stage. And then he also
got met at Drake four were following his wife on Instagram,
even though she has a nine million followers on Instagram.
He said, I never knew till this morning that Drake
(12:10):
followed my wife on Instagram back in September. I had
to bring this up because it's the most fucked up
thing of all. Imagine having a problem with somebody and
they follow your wife on Instagram. We truly wish this
man the best and pray that he will find the
same happiness that we have. So yeah, it's somewhat confusing.
Oh my god, I can't wait to be this rich
(12:32):
and delusional. Yeah, pajama rich. He would say, what's so
they have beef? Yeah, they have beef. Like there there
was all sorts of Drake thought Kanye told push a
t about his secret child. Uh, and I forgot about that. Yeah,
And they both are like acknowledging that it's like wrestling
(12:53):
stuff and it's all fake, Like they keep referring to
it as like a wrestling feud. And but then like
you can tell their feelings are actually hurt by each
other because I will ask, is Drake like a dangerous guy?
Because he talks about it, he wraps about it, but
he seems like the safest of them all. He seems
(13:13):
like a college undergrad. You know. It's like they're not
safest of them all, I know, especially not at Baylor.
What's up? Sorry, I just came back from Texas. So yeah,
there's a lot of Texas material and really angry. They
all got away with it anyways, and they always do anyways.
(13:36):
Back to cock, back to comedy, to Drake. Yeah, I
mean when I see Drake, I'm like here's a safe
man with a beard who acts tough. But is it
it is dangerous that a bubby has a bubby? Come on?
I feel like Drake has some sense that he doesn't
(13:59):
come off like he's always trying to meet like the
hardness and like anger of rap in some way, but
because he doesn't have anything to be angry about, and
he's kind of a soft dude, Like he just ends
up being like mad about really stupid ship. Yeah, he's
(14:19):
just like real, real upset and sensitive and that's okay
to be. Yeah, yeah, I think it is fine. I mean, like,
if we're allowing other people to express their feelings and
be sensitive, we have to also extend it to rappers.
But he does seem to spend a lot of his
time in paying homage to the original values of rap,
(14:42):
like being like, yeah, but I have friends who will
kill you, so that makes me to friend if Yeah, alright, Drake,
let's talk about Louis c k get today. Yeah, speaking
of men getting away with it, he just did four
(15:03):
nine minutes of stand up somebody recorded, uploaded to YouTube,
and it, I don't know, It's not great. It makes
fun of non binary people, it makes fun of the
Parkland kids. He's like, he says that he doesn't think
surviving a school shooting makes you inherently interesting, but it
(15:23):
just I don't know. I started listening to it. I'll
listen to the whole thing and report back on tomorrow's episode.
But it does seem like he has taken the Like
he starts out talking about what a bad year he had,
and it seems like he thinks the year happened to
him like that. He doesn't, he didn't do anything. And
(15:46):
Dana Gould former guest Dana Gould was saying, like, when
Richard Pryor came out to do stand up after, you know,
lighting himself on fire free Basing, he knew he had
to like make himself the butt of the joke and
acknowledge his part in the problem that he had just
become famous for having. And it seems like Louis c.
K is instead just like, man, that was a bad
(16:09):
thing that happened to me, huh, and then kind of
and moving on just trying to like some people are
defending him as this is what his jokes have always
been like, And I think that's kind of the problem,
is that like his old material doesn't really work. That
hasn't evolved at all. Right, Yeah, I mean I don't
(16:31):
care that he came back to stand up, but yeah,
if he's not addressing anything that we all kind of
want him to address. Yeah, and then he says dumb shift, right,
which like when he talked about, um, you know, punching
a baby deer in the face, We're just like, oh,
that crazy guy, right, and now it's like, oh, who
(16:54):
are you? Who are you trying to like punch down
to right? I mean he's always been like part of
his thing has always been being able to get people
to give him the benefit of the doubt via his performance,
Like that was a large part of like, and then
he would say incredibly fucked up things, but you would
(17:14):
just let him because of I don't know his stage
presence or whatever. But now that doesn't work as well.
When you're revealed to not deserve the benefit of that doubt,
I guess, well it's been revealed. It's like he's not
a good person. Where he passed to be like, oh,
you're a normal person that has these thoughts that some
(17:35):
of us always have been, you're reflecting that, and now
it's like, oh, you're just trash. And the ship about
like I have to listen to these Parkland kids like
you pushed a did like you pushed a fat kid. Yeah,
out of the way. And then it just like what
the funk? Like that's number one, not even a good joke.
It's not a good joke. It's open my stuff. But
I was talking to someone about this earlier. It's it's
(17:57):
kind of like he's just maybe the left has has
now been like bye bye, but the right who will,
like you, probably enjoy those jokes and be like, yeah
he was wrongly whatever, And now he's talking about stuff
I want to talk about. Yeah, like we'll get an audience.
(18:18):
We lost what forty three million and thirty minutes or something?
What was that complain that that was his first thing
that he lost thirty million and like one day masturbated
in front of some people that you and I know, right,
it wasn't like a bad day on the stock market. Yeah,
like oh yeah, alright, Well, guys are gonna take a
(18:38):
quick break. We'll be right back and her back and
uh the app that's driving everybody crazy this uh week,
I don't know. Uh yeah, it's been a long time
(19:01):
off guys. Uh yeah, So Twinning. Have you guys done
the Twinning app? Now? Now? No? No. I thought it
was like a bad tweet that everybody was trying to mimic.
You know, everybody tries to do a meme. I didn't
really have an app. I just thought, my friends are
making bad means. It's not even an app, that's of
a web page. I'm just mad because they said I
(19:24):
looked most like a bachelor, a former bachelor. Um, I
look like a former bachelor when not smiling. When I
have glasses on, I look like Rich Summer from Mad Men. Notably,
we have the exact same glasses, so that was I
think the only similarity is he the one that that
became like a hard Krishna for like a minute. Did
(19:46):
he know he was the one? He was hairy? He
was just always like a sour dick. I can't remember
all those angry, angry white guys in the sixties. Yeah,
into one guys. But anyways, none of the three people
that I supposedly look like look like each other, so
I don't know. Just objectively, as an online experience, the
(20:09):
Google app is that told you what piece of art
or character from a work of art you look like.
It's just a better experience objectively, Like, it seems like
it actually found someone who looked like you. Where is
this is just like looks for superficial similarities? Wow? Are
you okay about this? I'm fine. Um, we just have
(20:37):
matching glasses, not a form of the Other thing that
is not great about this app is that they leaked
people's Like there was just like zero security from the start,
and so there was just a folder anyone could get
to that was holding all of the images that people
(20:59):
were uploading to the web page. So pretty corny. Yeah,
it's pretty horny. Just some developers just clicking through photos. Right, Yeah,
what about this? This is my new avatar? Hello, I'll
be friends. The grossest sound ever. Yeah, that is such
a gross Well I'm glad I didn't do it. I
(21:21):
glad I didn't fall into the trap. I know. We
were like, oh, have you done it? Now? You should
check it out, and then explained to you what the
problem was and this was a pop sugar dot com thing.
It was a pop Sugar dot com. Um, I think
they did not because after the whole story about them
(21:42):
leaking things broke, I then uploaded my own picture. Do
you think that was a conspiracy thing like users are
starting to dip, so pop sugar was like no telements,
not secure, and then people went to it again probably
like you know one of those like marketing, like we'll
create a disaster and people want to see the car
(22:02):
right now. I'm sure it was a disaster. I'm sure
there are a bunch of dummies or just like whatever.
I feel like pop sugar dot com and I need
to have a great talk and it feels like do
you ever see that the John Oliver He had that
show a long time ago. This was really horrible about
like I'm gonna stop fat people from existing and uh
it was like he went to the fattest city in
(22:24):
America and was like I want to stop everyone from
being fat and it was gross. But he did this
thing with like a bunch of kids where he showed
them how chicken nuggs were made. Were like he stripped
down a carcass, grinded the bones up, then like just
show them how awful it was. And at the end
he's like, now who wants one? And they're all like me,
(22:44):
I love chicken because they're delicious. You just can't as
bad as stuff. People were like not John Oliver. Wait, Jamie,
but I wish it was John Oliver. I was super
what that John Oliver was? Sorry everyone, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. Yeah,
(23:09):
not to be confused with celebrity anxiety ridden human John Oliver.
But I feel like this is, uh, you know, one
of those examples of the fun face that we're putting
on the dystopian nightmare that we're sort of lower being
slowly lowered into. Because what do you mean slowly right, Well,
(23:31):
it's yeah, but it's something that it's not like, oh
my god. And then Skynet became self aware and like
launched all the nukes at the same time. It's like
we're slowly just walking down the steps into the dystopia.
But because they're like fun things like ah, you look
like Tom Cruise that it's just like I do look
(23:53):
like Yeah, Tom Cruise was on there when I smiled.
So I'll tell you what celebrity you smell like. If
it's your last four digits of your social I gotta know,
I gotta know that's I know I shouldn't do it, um,
but yeah, I mean so like the facial recognition thing
(24:16):
is London. London's police force just alright. So we're joined
by one of the bobbies. Hey, officer crumbledon. Uh So
they were they were using facial recognition and facial scanning
(24:39):
technology to scan the faces of Christmas shoppers in London
thievery boogers. I think they were worried about, you know, terrorism,
also shoplifting. I'm sure it was at the top of
their list. They saw home alone and we're like, God,
not on my watch, it's Christmas time, brit Uh. But
(25:02):
you know it's China is really good at it because
they have like all of their citizens faces in a
database and so they've been able to algorithmically just figure
out how to match facial technology. But I think in
the West we're still not great at it because a
whopping of the matches used by the technology were mistakes.
(25:26):
In the case of the London Police Force. Oh yeah,
remember David Schwimmer. What happened? David was fake David Swimmer.
It's not a facial recognition thing, but the dude got
caught on the security camera like stealing beer. Right, yeah,
it looks like David Swimmer. Ross David. I know you
keep saying his name, Yes, I know, David. Yeah, wait
(25:50):
who wasn't If you say it enough, is he gonna appear?
So I'm doing it. Hey, we're on a book. He
does have like a vague Texas accent to yeah, I
will say you towards the end of the season, because
(26:12):
my roommate and I were like watching it, yeah, and
he started getting kind of buff. Oh yeah. Well once
they're like like ross, what are you doing? Yeah. I
feel like that happens sometimes because they see themselves on camera,
and so as they're becoming more seen by more people,
(26:33):
they're also like having less touch with reality and fewer
and fewer people tell them like, no, your job is
not to look awesome on camera. It's to play the
role of this insecure paleontologist. But he was a paleontologist
or like a paleontologist, you know, handsome, buff paleontology professor.
(26:58):
I don't know, that's probably I'm sure I'm sucking up
some watched friends ever. Um. But yeah, and then once
you get to the peak of your fame, you stopped
changing everything about yourself, which is why Michael Jordan's still
dresses like it's yeah, well it caught up eventually. Yeah,
(27:18):
Now he's the Pinnacle style exactly. Yeah, I did come
back around and just keep dressing the way you're dressing.
It'll show up again eventually. Amazon has patented a new
doorbell camera that would be equipped with technology that allows
the device to gather data and identify people considered to
(27:38):
be quote suspicious, which is scary. Does it also squirt
water out of it and people ring it got you?
That would be again, that would be like the fun
version of this is that it would like have you
know it looks like some video getting squirted in the
(27:59):
face Tom Cruise movie. Facial recognition, Yeah, or arrest people
before they do something, yes, yeah, that is identity nope,
minority report. Yeah, but they have facial scanners and retina
(28:20):
scanners all over the place in that one. So we're
getting there. We're getting there. All right, Let's let's talk
once again about I've been missing him because I didn't.
I chose not to pay attention to the news as
much as possible. Over Well, we took some time off,
but he's back our president ever. Yeah, he's still doing it,
(28:45):
still at it, you guys. President Donald Trump had a
sort of half press conference like televised meeting yesterday full
of just a lot of comedic highlights. He was surrounded
by people I didn't recognize, and then super producer Nick
Stuff pointed out that that was his cabinet and it's
just you don't recognize any of them because he's like
(29:08):
fired all of them or they've all quit in the past,
like their subordinates. Yeah, it's all just yeah people people
who are in the hallway who were willing to come in. Uh,
did you finally hire that a kid mowing the lawn? Yeah?
I think he did so. Here just a quick highlight reel.
(29:28):
He boasted he would have been a great general. He
insisted his generals were better looking than Tom Cruise and stronger,
even our five star general Tom Cruise. Right. He complained
that he spent Christmas all alone at the White House,
quote except for all the guys out on the lawn
with machine guns, which sounds like a crazy like I
(29:50):
I get what he was saying, because there are snipers everywhere,
but it doesn't. It sounds like a confused old man
who just like was looking out the window of the
White House was like it sounds like the start of
a Sindbad movie. Sinbad Home for Christmas at the White House. Yeah,
old man President's not having a good time. But nixt
(30:13):
Tuff just pointed out that he did specify that they
were the nicest machine guns he'd ever seen, and I
think that he waved to a couple of the guys
with the machine guns, so there was a particularly confused moment.
The Tom Cruise kind of ramble was particularly weird. So
he said, I had a meeting at the Pentagon with
(30:34):
lots of generals. They were like from a movie, better
looking than Tom Cruise and stronger. Laughs alone, nobody else
is laughing. Everyone's like, uh, and I had more generals
than I've ever seen and we were at the bottom
of this incredible room. It doesn't sound like military respect,
(30:58):
Yeah exactly, I said, I said, and then my dad
was there, but it really wasn't my dad. It was
actually a gun, right, doesn't it sound like then? Okay,
this is I'm continuing to read this quote. I said,
this is the greatest room I've ever seen, with more
computer boards than they make today. That's great. Our military
(31:19):
should be ahead of its time. Computer boards, computer boards
then they make today, What does that make them? That's
how many we have? Yeah? One computer started great collection.
Our military is strong, powerful and technical bunch of those
those I phone chargers just lined up and it's almost
(31:44):
as if they're just intending to make great comedic videos,
and maybe that's what's happening. Everybody around him have just
decided we're going to make this presidency as funny as possible,
because at the end of the press conference, they panned
out to reveal that a Game of Thrones inspired meme
where it was like Trump looking and it said sanctions
(32:05):
are coming, and he retweeted it. He just had a
poster sized version of that meme on the table in
front of him. Our tax dollars paid for this, all
of this, he's just all of this. I'm getting fucked
on taxes so our president can print a team? Was it?
(32:29):
I really hope it wasn't mean that's like just regular printer,
but tile get me a print out of that. Imagine
being like the fucking intern or like his son, and
it was like what he would He was like, haven't
got to got to go like FedEx print that on
cardboard and someone will be like, what is this. It's
like this is for your preson Is this for your
(32:50):
fourteen year old? They'd be like, no, this for the president.
It does make it hard to take seriously. I feel
like maybe it's maybe that's the goal. It's so depressed.
But the people who this resonates with it makes total sense.
It does especially like, you know a lot of people
(33:12):
are like older people and then also weird rich people
that are that are educated. And it does sound also isolated.
It does sound like an elderly person without any context
walking into a modern workplace just being like they were
computer boards. And this guy, he's as handsome as Tom Cruise.
This is almost like when you work for a streaming
(33:34):
service in production and it's so easy. You just upload
something to like content Hub or a Google doc, and
then you have older executives who don't know how to
use a computer, so you have to print out a
DVD and slide it under the door, and they don't
even watch it. You can hear. Anyways, I have just
some work stuff coming up, just some shade and old producers.
(34:00):
You know who you are, old ass Fox. Hey, Well,
speaking of old ass Fox, old ass Fox, Romney, leader
of the Resistance. Imagine him going down, going down a
(34:21):
comment to scratch my back and find that whatever scratches
he could do anything. Romney clips his fingernails every morning.
That's dope considered. Maybe he's like superhuman fan erotica for
you guys, I would look at that. I don't think
I would look at Trump fins erotica of Romney fighting
(34:45):
Joe Biden and then as they're rolling on the ground.
Sounds like you're writing one of your own. So Mitt
Romney announced that he would be the new leader of
the Resistance with bed in the Washington Post, where he
criticized Trump on like manners. Basically, it seems like, which
(35:08):
is something you see a lot with people who oppose
Trump who are still sort of part of the mainstream
political elite and the mainstream media. Even is that they're
complaint with Trump seems to be more based on, you know,
the fact that he doesn't show respect for these institutions.
(35:28):
And it's you know, because the things that mainstream Republicans
are for are still pretty monstrous. Like the places that
they differentiate themselves from Trump are just you know that
he makes it sound as bad as it is in
a lot of cases, he's like, doesn't try to sugarcoat
things that much. I mean, I think there is some
(35:51):
validity to the complaint that like the whole he's not
politically correct. Thing is bad because you know, racism has
contained you to become more public and acceptable among racists,
and hate crimes are more common, and uh, you know
there's something to be said for that. And he also
pointed out that in two thousand sixteen, Pew research of
(36:15):
people in Germany and Britain and France and Canada saying
they believe the American president would do the right thing,
and one year later that number had fallen to six.
So that's not great because we're at a time in
history where you kind of need somebody to be a leader,
have like some is the leader now, right whatever, back
(36:42):
onto this podcast. Huh, reading these quotes comes to the
dating side. Yeah, this will be I don't know. He
still like structures his entire critique, like on the subject
of sevility and like that Trump shows poor character and that,
(37:04):
you know, we need a leader who has who is
a man of character. And some people are speculating that
this is the first step in Romney's plan to primary
Trump in I'm yeah, in the primary Trump in neurotic piction.
Oh yeah, he's just so robotic and in like, when
(37:30):
asked what his favorite meat was, he said hot dog.
And when I asked what his second favorite meat was,
he said hamburger. Um, like I just would he know
how to nibble like what I do. Probably eats people,
that's the thing. So rich, he probably eats people and
that's his favorite. Have you guys talked about that rich
(37:53):
guy in Florida? He didn't eat people, but he was
a child pedophile. And did we talk about this? We have, Yeah,
the guy who's a billionaire who was recruiting child sex
workers from marl Lago. Yeah what Yeah, I got kind
(38:13):
of got hushed. But the Miami Harold had this huge
expose about it. A lot of people were like, whoops.
But the guy who he's friends with this guy but
a lot of people that he serviced were so powerful
that they just shut it down. Oh so they would
he would go to mar lag and be like everybody. Well,
he also had a private island in a private jet
(38:36):
where a lot of these things real monster It's like
straight up the stuff you see in a Hollywood movie
with a Tom Cruise who's trying to save Spacey. The
guy's name is Jeffrey Epstein and people should check out
the Miami Harold ship about him. But Anyways, it's evening.
(38:58):
I think there was a poll that said that a
large portion of Iah Winds would approve of somebody trying
to challenge Trump in the primary. So and I was
obviously randomly important when it comes to presidential primaries. I
feel like people are getting tired of him. Yeah, yeah,
it seems like that might be happening. The government shutdown
(39:21):
doesn't seem like it's playing well with his base, according
to the five thirty eight Trump Popularity Ometer. Things see.
I still I think his base would still be like
it's a Democrat. Yeah, they're the reason because they won't
give our leader his money. That's what I assumed, But
I always assumed they just would be that on all things.
(39:42):
And for whatever reason, his approval rating is going down
and his disapproval rating is going up over the past
like five days, and that seems to be the thing
that changed, Like usually it takes a week for the
news cycle to filter down into a pinion polls, and
that seems like it's the thing that people are acting to.
But who knows. Maybe it was the fact that he
(40:05):
clearly has no concept of Christmas and hates Christmas, and
there's a Christmas movie villain. There are so many things
it's very hard to figure out. Actually, literally he's not
not really machine guns. Yes, just the best you've ever seen.
All right, we're going to take another quick break and
we'll be right back. And we're back. And I wanted
(40:37):
to take a look at what movies have predicted for
this year of Our Lord, because this was actually a
pretty significant year in dystopian movie history. Blade Runner takes place.
(40:58):
They predicted flying cars, lifelike human replicants, and everybody would
still smoke inside government buildings. Which but yeah, I guess
flying cars is something that people are making progress on,
but it's looking more like a thing. So they were
(41:18):
only sixteen years too early. But I guess with drone
technology and well, the replicants are are real. Are They
haven't seen that robot that can jump over boxes? Yes?
Have you seen that with the Dynamo Big Dog or whatever.
It's scary, it's scary. I think there. I think the
(41:39):
robot war is coming and they're all going to like
Sophia or what's Sophie who's now a Saudi Arabian citizen,
what's the robot? I think her name is Sophie, who's
a Saudi Arabian citizen. She's not a journalist, she can
(41:59):
be reprogram Yeah, and then and then Japan now has
a hotel that's completely run by robots. Robot, but those
robots are fake because they're like on a track. It's
not like yeah, it's more like, for now, you don't
know that robot could be having thoughts. West World was
a documentary like you're trying to challenge me right now
and I don't know why. Okay, you do not disagree
(42:23):
with the co host guest for now. The everything Blade
Runner clearly got right is that Atari is our biggest corporation.
The Atari runs everything, as as does pan Am Airlines.
Those are two of the big lake logos you see everywhere,
(42:46):
and the Blade Running universe. But yeah, they generally predicted
the fact that the world would be a lot of
lights and weird simulations and people distracting themselves. So I
was right, Yeah, they kind of nailed that. The Running Man,
which is an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle uh in which he
(43:08):
is framed for murder and then has to fight, slash
run his way out of a murder game show, sounds
far fetched, but Jenny, as you pointed, out. They have
like very specific like deep fake things that they called.
Didn't also have two governors in it? Did it was
(43:29):
Jesse the Body venture in it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
two governors in that movie. Yeah, it was a lot
of people have referred to The Running Man as a
launching pad for politics for a lot of great political careers.
Obama got his start in The Running Man. He was
but yeah, deep fakes like they're they're able to just
manipulate videos in a way that is it's pretty impressive
(43:53):
that they got it as right as they did because
when you look at what they thought digital media was
going to look like, or like special effects or any
technology like Escape from New York, they have like everything
is still in like a three dimensional like green and
black matrix. So the fact that Running Man knew that
(44:15):
we would be messing with the ability to like put
someone into an actual video or remove them as pretty impressive.
And yeah, I mean it's a really cheesy game show
host is incredibly influential in that movies. So when the
girl goes through their shoot, I remember they one of
(44:38):
her the reason what is it called where she did
a bad thing? What of her cries her sin her sins.
One of the sins was that she like had a
premarital sex. Did you listen to it? I remember watching it.
(44:59):
I watched it very racent. Okay, wait they say pre
marital sex, like pre marital sex or she had sex
with more than one person, Like yeah, probably I was
just listening to that and being like, oh that was
considered bad they I mean, that's just kind to put
(45:21):
that out there. That's the girl who Arnold Schwarzenegger like
is incredibly violent towards at the beginning and ends up
kissing him hit her, yeah, like basically just like an
takes her as a hostage, but she ends up being
into him. But yeah, I mean that is kind of
(45:44):
a wild h you hear that? Guys? That is kind
of like I I know that for a lot of
my childhood, I thought that history only went in one
direction that like you, things got better or like more progressive,
(46:04):
I guess. And so for a movie where everything is
all future but people have more conservative morality, that's kind
of a a challenging idea for an Arnold Schwartz and
air action movie to be like, yes, and they will
view premarital sex as a sin punishable by running man death. Yeah.
(46:27):
The Island, now we're getting to the classics. Michael bays.
The Island tells the story of a island that's like
supposed to be a utopia, but all the people spoiler alert, guys,
all the people are actually clones who are just there
too provide rich people with oregon. I've never seen this either.
(46:50):
It's actually not a classic. I was being sarcastic. Do
the clones do they become aware that they're They do
and you and McGregor breaks out, but he's so he's
an and she and another a woman clone. They decide
to break out once they realize that they're just meat. Yeah,
(47:11):
just meet just organs for their How do they find out?
I don't know. I actually a real dumb I know
they don't they do? You've seen it? No, I'm gonna
have to Wikipedia this. Daybreakers and Ethan Hawk movie cigarettes cigarettesers,
(47:34):
Daybreakers cigarettes for men. That's what that sounds like. You
Sometimes cigarettes are just two girls, just enormous cigarettes. They're
just like really real big and phallic cigarettes. Don't worry.
It's not like you're sucking on someone else's dick. It's
(47:56):
your own. It's don't worried. It's your cigars. Don't worry,
Just pretend it's your dick. Um. Anyways, this movie is
actually about a plague that turns a large portion of
humanity into vampires. So I hope it doesn't happen in
my right Guess no, it's probably not going to happen,
(48:19):
unless we're speaking metaphorically, in which case it's already happened.
This is going in the romney. Yeah, on goop dot
com you can get a psychic vampire spray? Is that true?
What does that mean? Maybe there's a psychic vampire in
your life. You're an emotional vampire, you know, sucking the
emotions out of you, and you spray them. Oh, and
(48:42):
it keeps them off. It's like AWA for emotional vampires. Yeah,
I got it. Well, if you had like thirty bucks
and you didn't want to shoot on it just by
that stuff, did you seem defensive about it? Guest exco Anyways,
(49:07):
So Daybreakers, I mean, it was just a vampire movie.
It's like a vampire movie with a zombie movie premise.
Everybody gets turned into vampires via a zombie Plague's turned
me into a vampire? Who's like that? Kristen Dunst in
that movie when she's a child. Yeah, it's weird interview
with the vampire when she's like, I'm a kid, I
(49:29):
don't want to be a kid anymore. It's like, well,
guess what, you became a vampire when you were seven.
So now we're on Akira and Akira is Akira got
kind of the most hard to call detail right, and
that they predicted the Olympics would be in Tokyo, which
is pretty crazy. It was a movie that came out
(49:49):
in two or I guess it was the manga appeared
in two. I'd say, out of all the movies your name,
this is the best one. Yeah, well I saved it
for last. Doesn't have a killer teddy baronet? Yeah, don't
you remember that? Dope as fun? Man, I'm gonna watch
(50:15):
it when I go. But there's also like a you
need know what, there's probably some fucking piece of ship
all the ask producer, can you get that on VHS
for me? Piece old ship? Hack of what sounds dumb?
Let's but they also get the fact that the Olympics
(50:38):
is like a great way to justify your police state, correct,
which was a take that everybody on the internet was
making like around the two thousand and twelve Olympics, so
again ahead of their time. And yeah, those are the
movies that take place in So thank some of those
dystopias sound better than what we're going through, because at
(51:01):
least then you can like be mad at the dystopic
government that is like holding the people down via force, whereas,
like we talked about earlier, we're just all kind of
doing it to ourselves, which one as. I still like
the cute apps personally. So of the movies, oh, probably
(51:23):
probably the running Man running Man, Yeah, because well I've
only really seen a Cura, so I guess that. Okay,
what about you all? That day Breaker sounds pretty good. Yeah, yeah,
I mean you're just turned into a vampire. Vampires are
like sexy and stuff. All vampire movies are just sponsored
content content for cigarettes anyways, and sucking your own did
(51:54):
dick Breakers that's the that's my wrestling name Breaker, that's
a great wrestling man w w E. Speaking of w
w E, we have two sad passings that happened yesterday,
Me and Gene from the w w E the announcer,
