Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to Monday Morning, April fifteenth.
Speaker 1: It's the Monday weekend week week trends. I prefer the
Speaker 1: week trends. Oh. I am Jack, and I'm thrilled to
Speaker 1: be joined by Brian the Editor.
Speaker 2: Hello, it's me, Brian the Editor. It is I'm a sleepy.
Speaker 1: Guy, a sleepy pie, honeybun. It's Monday morning. Miles is
Speaker 1: still making his way back from Japan. I've been told
Speaker 1: that he lost his voice at the wedding, so maybe
Speaker 1: the next time you hear from him it will be
Speaker 1: a scratchy Miles Gray.
Speaker 2: A scratchy Miles.
Speaker 1: Anyways, thrilled to have you here, Brian. This is the
Speaker 1: episode where we tell the people was trending over the weekend.
Speaker 1: It was pretty eventful weekend, but we do like to
Speaker 1: kick off by telling the people what we think is
Speaker 1: under eight overrated. Let's start with underrated. Is there something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated that you want to tell the
Speaker 1: people about. Uh, you know what I'm gonna be.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a gracious king and I'm gonna let
Speaker 2: you go first. Jack.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I truly appreciate that gracious king. I appreciate
Speaker 1: you my gracious King, all right, so my underrated There
Speaker 1: there's a New Yorker profile of the woman who took
Speaker 1: over as like the sanitation commissioner in New York under
Speaker 1: Eric Adams and is trying to make it so that
Speaker 1: the city isn't just lined with like snow drifts of
Speaker 1: trash bags that are like wriggling ominously with colonies of rats.
Speaker 1: Just you know, is one of those things you immediately
Speaker 1: get used to in New York that there are like
Speaker 1: just giant mounds of trash almost everywhere.
Speaker 3: I've always heard about this my entire life with New York,
Speaker 3: and it's honestly been part of the reason why. It's
Speaker 3: like I'm like, yeah, I'm just not really interested in
Speaker 3: going sounds gross.
Speaker 1: It's amazing sound gross. Yeah, it is gross. And also
Speaker 1: it's crazy how much this article made me miss New York,
Speaker 1: just like I don't know, there's like something about the
Speaker 1: sense memory of you know, living smells like a garbage dump. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just some big garbage. But it's like yeah, but that
Speaker 1: you know, your blood is pumping in a way that
Speaker 1: it never does anywhere else. But anyways, there's this one
Speaker 1: anecdote that's like buried in the article that I just
Speaker 1: had to share. This fucking blew my mind, so I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna read directly from this article. Occasionally, a New
Speaker 1: Yorker will call three one one, the city's all purpose helpline,
Speaker 1: to report that they have mistakenly thrown out something of
Speaker 1: great value, if their trash hasn't already gone in the pit,
Speaker 1: which is like a giant pit where the garbage truck's
Speaker 1: line up and dump the garbage and then it gets
Speaker 1: like smashed or burned or you know, and taken out
Speaker 1: of the city. But the caller if it hasn't been
Speaker 1: dumped in the giant trash pit, the caller is told
Speaker 1: to visit their local marine transfer station, where the truck
Speaker 1: that collected their garbage will be tipped in front of them.
Speaker 1: The owner is given ninety minutes to wade through the
Speaker 1: muck to look for their discarded item, a protocol known
Speaker 1: as Lost Valuables Search. So already just an amazing fact
Speaker 1: that they set up this like game show where you
Speaker 1: have one and a half hours to like you have
Speaker 1: like a ticking clock to wade through just like medical
Speaker 1: waste and rotten banana peels and dog shit to like
Speaker 1: find your wedding ring essentially, but then like there's also
Speaker 1: this detail that it goes on to say, with surprising frequency,
Speaker 1: people find what they came for. New Yorkers have a
Speaker 1: way of recognizing their own guar garbage. That's my bag,
Speaker 1: they'll say, making a beeline toward a corner of the
Speaker 1: trash pile. Over the years, tax documents, false teeth, God,
Speaker 1: who is doing that for false teeth? Like that our
Speaker 1: false teeth to false teeth like cost as much as
Speaker 1: a car or.
Speaker 2: Something that was my understanding.
Speaker 1: Family heirlooms and hard drives have been recovered. Last year,
Speaker 1: a woman called to say that she'd accidentally tossed out
Speaker 1: a diamond ring. Department officials told her that they could
Speaker 1: hold the truck that picked up her garbage. Then they
Speaker 1: described the procedures she'd have to follow. The woman told
Speaker 1: them to forget it. An end quote, but just the
Speaker 1: fact that they are sporting enough to be like, all right,
Speaker 1: you got ninety minutes. I'm imagining a giant clock that
Speaker 1: like the like ticks down like the twenty four Jack
Speaker 1: Bauer clock as you're looking for your shit, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But and then the fact that they find it, ever,
Speaker 1: is this is amazing. Like my first thought on ree
Speaker 1: is like, no, well that's absurd, Like they're just pulling
Speaker 1: a prank on people for having something that they value
Speaker 1: so much, like way more than anyone should value anything.
Speaker 1: The person who, by the way, told them to forget
Speaker 1: it is I think the only sane person in that anecdote.
Speaker 1: But uh, just I don't know. Something unsurprising about New
Speaker 1: Yorkers being able to find their garbage having lived there,
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's this garbage. It's this article about how
Speaker 1: New York is basically like a garbage spewing waste factory.
Speaker 1: That's number one expert is terrible smelling garbage bags, And
Speaker 1: it somehow made me misliving there somehow, like the commissioner
Speaker 1: who takes this job usually ends up loving garbage, and
Speaker 1: that I got it. There's just something I don't know why.
Speaker 1: There's just something about New York. It's also like they
Speaker 1: do acknowledge like ecologically a total disages and they're not
Speaker 1: even trying to deal with that. They're just trying to
Speaker 1: get the garbage off the island. But again feels like
Speaker 1: a game show, like just how much garbage can we
Speaker 1: get out of here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they should have like daily, they have some sort
Speaker 3: of like a counter, the garbage counter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like just like get right after the weather on
Speaker 2: the news. They just it's like, all.
Speaker 3: Right, man, we've had nine million tons of garbage today
Speaker 3: so far.
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, I mean eventually probably in a few decades.
Speaker 1: Like they seem to be way behind, like some of
Speaker 1: the technology they talk about and the rest of the
Speaker 1: article new York having is like stuff that other cities
Speaker 1: have had for years, but New York is just like
Speaker 1: behind on this for some reason. But I'm sure like
Speaker 1: in twenty years they you will be taxed by how
Speaker 1: much like garbage you create, you know, but that will
Speaker 1: not be starting in New York.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a brilliant idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah it Also the article just had an anecdote
Speaker 1: about how that proposed National rail Workers union strike that
Speaker 1: almost happened. If it had happened, like New York would
Speaker 1: have been choked in garbage within six days because the
Speaker 1: garbage leaves via rail.
Speaker 3: What once it's done, they have to get it out
Speaker 3: of town, like there's nowhere to put.
Speaker 2: It in New York.
Speaker 1: So I would also say underrated is collective action. I guess,
Speaker 1: like I feel like the media should have mentioned that
Speaker 1: as more of like a ticking clock that like, yeah,
Speaker 1: and if they do decide to go on strike, our
Speaker 1: largest city will be choked in garbage, will drown in
Speaker 1: their own waste, like within a week. But obviously the
Speaker 1: mainstream media won't tell you that shit. You just find
Speaker 1: out about it as a side note in an article
Speaker 1: like three years later. But anyways, those are some things
Speaker 1: I think are underrated. Basically, I read a New York
Speaker 1: or article and can't stop talking about it. Brian, what
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: In that vein?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and say what is underrated is
Speaker 3: city life. City life in general is underrated because man,
Speaker 3: I had a fun weekend, like a fun weekend like
Speaker 3: I haven't.
Speaker 2: Had in a long time. And it's not because I
Speaker 2: moved back to the city.
Speaker 1: You moved from a pretty like rural kind of idyllic
Speaker 1: like we've seen some drone video that you took of
Speaker 1: your previous living conditions. I was like, God, damn, that
Speaker 1: is the dream.
Speaker 2: I was living on a what essentially was like a
Speaker 2: private beach for a while.
Speaker 1: You were living in a truck commercial, like the truck
Speaker 1: commercials where they're you know, combing the beach and doing
Speaker 1: donuts and like, there's just for some reason, we want
Speaker 1: our car commercials to take place in a depopulated wasteland.
Speaker 2: You know, you know what.
Speaker 3: I actually did, Jack, Yeah, I took my pickup truck,
Speaker 3: which I had living in this place, and I drove
Speaker 3: it down that six miles of private beat.
Speaker 1: I saw the video filming myself with a drone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was sick.
Speaker 3: That was that was very fun to do. And that's
Speaker 3: that's the perks of living rurally. Yeah, and yeah they
Speaker 3: got boring after.
Speaker 2: There too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I noticed in the video. I noticed in the
Speaker 1: video of the truck commercial you created for yourself that
Speaker 1: you were wearing clean xboxes on your feet for shoes,
Speaker 1: and you had the back of your truck was full
Speaker 1: of jars and jars of your own piss.
Speaker 2: There was no reason for me to not wear pajamas.
Speaker 3: There was literally no reason for me to wear like
Speaker 3: anything nice or go out. I was very sedentary to
Speaker 3: like the detriment of my health. I think I was
Speaker 3: just I was just there was nowhere to go, nothing
Speaker 3: to do, and now I'm just I'm popping out like
Speaker 3: literally like nine times a day, just like getting snacks,
Speaker 3: going to the movies, getting I get a little nightcap.
Speaker 2: At the end of the night, I just pop into a.
Speaker 1: Bar and have one drink, disappearing into the crowd like
Speaker 1: a bad guy in a missions movie, like.
Speaker 2: A bus passes in front.
Speaker 1: I just disappear. You just disappear.
Speaker 3: Like I went, me and my partner went out for
Speaker 3: dinner last night, like this pretty low key place and
Speaker 3: just ended up like chatting up with the people sitting
Speaker 3: next to us. And then then we all went to
Speaker 3: like some other bar. We all hopped in an uber
Speaker 3: together and uh and and went out. Yeah, the stink
Speaker 3: jack like and where I'm at isn't quite the level
Speaker 3: of New York.
Speaker 2: But yeah, just that that filth, that.
Speaker 1: Grime smells like shit. You know what else, It smells alive.
Speaker 3: I do miss it. It does smell alive like a bear,
Speaker 3: like a bear.
Speaker 1: That is shitting positively everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it is exhiliary. There is an exhilaration about. Yeah,
Speaker 3: just being in like this.
Speaker 2: Massive metropolis where.
Speaker 3: Where you're teetering precarious like where like you said, like
Speaker 3: you know, New York has to that they'll be choked
Speaker 3: with trash in six days or if if they're not
Speaker 3: constantly pumping water out from under the city, it will just.
Speaker 2: By the ocean and its.
Speaker 1: Way into the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's like living in places like that, there is.
Speaker 2: An inherent excitement.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, even though I've never been to New
Speaker 3: York City, I can definitely see the appeal of like
Speaker 3: just wanting to be in one of those places.
Speaker 1: You're just like a cell in a vast living organism
Speaker 1: that is like thrumming with life and you can just
Speaker 1: you know, the thing that we've talked about a lot
Speaker 1: on the show that can be helpful people struggling with
Speaker 1: a lot of the mental health issues were a lot
Speaker 1: of us are struggling with, particularly these days, is like
Speaker 1: getting outside of yourself and being in a big city
Speaker 1: if you can, and like being open to experience. Is like, hey,
Speaker 1: those people just said something like that. I found funnier.
Speaker 1: You know, like that we just like caught each other's eye.
Speaker 1: Let's start a conversation and meet new people.
Speaker 3: The whole reason we started talking to these people next
Speaker 3: to us at the restaurant was we had just sat
Speaker 3: down and whatnot, and I was I was very stoned,
Speaker 3: and I was just like waiting for food, and I
Speaker 3: was almost just sitting there like meditating. Yeah, my partner
Speaker 3: looked at me, you know, it's like she gave me
Speaker 3: one of those looks like you good, and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I'm high, it's fine.
Speaker 3: And they just burst it out laughing next to me.
Speaker 2: And that's how it started me.
Speaker 4: I'm high, I'm high, Yeah, exactly, might as well announce it.
Speaker 1: All right, overrated? I think a lot of people were
Speaker 1: having the same conversation at the end of last week,
Speaker 1: but we never ended up having it on this show.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to mention that I think it
Speaker 1: was I was overrating until the end of last week.
Speaker 1: How normal it was that I watched the OJ verdict
Speaker 1: in Spanish class.
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like my high school, everyone treated the OJ trial
Speaker 1: like it was a historical world event as it was happening,
Speaker 1: and there's no real clear reason why, but everyone just
Speaker 1: kind of agreed at the time like this, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: like we invented the twenty four our news cycle just
Speaker 1: for that trial, and everyone everyone went with it. My
Speaker 1: fucking Spanish teacher just went with it. And a lot
Speaker 1: of people are like they're used to wheel in the TVs.
Speaker 2: They literally wheeled in the TV for this shit.
Speaker 1: There's one wheel it in for you.
Speaker 3: They Okay, I was in I want to say fifth grade,
Speaker 3: ninety four, right, yeah, yeah, so I was in fifth grade.
Speaker 3: They wheeled the TV in for fucking nine and ten
Speaker 3: year olds, like a.
Speaker 1: Murder trial, for a murder trial.
Speaker 2: Ran, I'm like, I shit you not.
Speaker 3: It was one of it's it's a memory that like
Speaker 3: kind of haunts me, Like I guess it's mildly traumatic
Speaker 3: because it's like it's just such a bizarre thing to
Speaker 3: have happen.
Speaker 2: You know, they're mind you I'm ten. They're preempting all
Speaker 2: of my fucking cartoons that I like to watch to
Speaker 2: show the trial. Yeah, so not only there's nothing for
Speaker 2: me to turn to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's all OJ.
Speaker 2: It was all OJ all the time.
Speaker 3: There was no Power Rangers, there were no like, uh,
Speaker 3: whatever the fuck, I don't know Big Bad Beetleborgs or
Speaker 3: whatever the fuck.
Speaker 2: Was on at that time.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna want to see this blood splatter analysis.
Speaker 2: But it's funny because it's like I was a naked
Speaker 2: gun fan, so I.
Speaker 1: Knew who was Yeah, that was my I he was.
Speaker 3: To me I knew he played football and all that,
Speaker 3: but I never watched him play football. I watched him
Speaker 3: burn his hand and fall down a flight of stairs
Speaker 3: in the gun, and that was funny to me, and
Speaker 3: I liked him because of that. Yeah, and yeah and
Speaker 3: then yeah, they wheeled up the TV in fourth grade
Speaker 3: their fifth grade.
Speaker 1: I remember just the only thing I remember is just
Speaker 1: the mirror neurons in my brain because the camera was
Speaker 1: on his face as they're reading the verdict. And so
Speaker 1: I was just relieved for him, you know, because I
Speaker 1: was just like, I didn't want to see Norberg find
Speaker 1: out he was never going to see his kids again
Speaker 1: outside of jail, you know, Like I just the mirror,
Speaker 1: Like I'm just like, well, you're showing me his face.
Speaker 1: So that's so I was like, you know, nothing more
Speaker 1: complicated than just like, I don't want to see this
Speaker 1: person be found guilty. I'm also not like a big
Speaker 1: vengeance guy, but you know, I feel like the justice
Speaker 1: system doesn't really work. But from that day forward, Brian
Speaker 1: I spoke with perfect Spanish accent, never made a mistake
Speaker 1: about when to use two and when to use oustid.
Speaker 2: So did you get any wild reactions from from the
Speaker 2: audience in your class on the verdict.
Speaker 1: I don't remember any I do remember like some of
Speaker 1: the black kids were celebrating, like in the hallway after
Speaker 1: when class got out.
Speaker 3: It's that I uh, there, there were I happened to
Speaker 3: have been at a school where there were very few
Speaker 3: black kids at the time, just for this year, which
Speaker 3: was cosmically very interesting that I got to experien It's
Speaker 3: almost like my whole life I've been doing a pH
Speaker 3: d on white people. I've been able to see them
Speaker 3: in really unique situations like I've been. I've been to
Speaker 3: Dartmouth University observing white people in their natural habitat that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: literally I've seen I was in the animal househouse. My
Speaker 3: friend was in that frat, and I saw horrific things
Speaker 3: and I smelled horrific smells. And those people are running
Speaker 3: the world right now. Yeah, it's terrifying. But man, I
Speaker 3: there was there were tears. They were like little ten
Speaker 3: year old girls crying in class after this verdict. Wow,
Speaker 3: And that is always stuck with me of just how
Speaker 3: how that is just so so many things, it's too much.
Speaker 2: Like I can't believe. Yeah, we allowed that to just
Speaker 2: sweep us up so much. Yeah, it was like crazy,
Speaker 2: It's like a Jake Paul fight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was like what if what if
Speaker 1: your school stopped Spanish and math class and showed you
Speaker 1: the Jake Paul fight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's the only thing I can.
Speaker 1: Let And we were all just like, yeah, well I
Speaker 1: can't not watch it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, race war, Race War.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, all right. Uh, what is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Uh, I'll keep it quick because it's been on my
Speaker 3: list for a while. Duvet covers, Uh huh. Now it's
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. We have fucking AI. We can send
Speaker 3: people to space, but they can't keep the goddamn duvet
Speaker 3: from bunching up in the cover. And I don't know
Speaker 3: why we haven't advanced technology enough to have a decent
Speaker 3: douve cover.
Speaker 2: I know this is a weird little rant, but it
Speaker 2: just bugs me. How the douvet meat.
Speaker 1: No, I like, there's no way to make meat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the dobate meat is always ill distributed. And I don't.
Speaker 1: Wait, are you is it not tying? Are you not
Speaker 1: tying it to the corners the inside corners?
Speaker 2: What do you mean tying it to the corners?
Speaker 1: There's like little ties on my douvet cover that you
Speaker 1: can tie the meat to the cover in the corners.
Speaker 2: See, that's my thing.
Speaker 3: I'm like, we need like some weird little clips or something,
Speaker 3: but all the ones that I've had don't have.
Speaker 1: You need to get you need to get them with
Speaker 1: a little ties.
Speaker 3: But you know how people are constantly like inventing dumb
Speaker 3: little improvements to pre existing products. I feel like it's
Speaker 3: lacking in the douvet field, Like people aren't trying to innovate.
Speaker 3: Like yeah, it's like you know, the the that Titanic
Speaker 3: submarine guy, he was trying to innovate on submarines.
Speaker 2: He didn't need to, he just need to build a
Speaker 2: good work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, turns out the energy. Yeah, I think there are
Speaker 1: like and this is on me as a you know,
Speaker 1: as a person with a news show, when I discovered
Speaker 1: the douvet ties on the inside of the cover, that
Speaker 1: this was a possibility that should have been front page news,
Speaker 1: Like these are the sorts of things that should be
Speaker 1: front page news. Is like they've made a better duvet
Speaker 1: cover duvet relationship.
Speaker 2: I'm like, can we get magnets or something like?
Speaker 1: But if you get them wet, they stopped working so
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Wait, if they would, that's what Trump
Speaker 1: said one time. Working remember this all right, let's uh
Speaker 1: great duvet meet is what will not be leaving my
Speaker 1: mind anytime soon. That is what I will be referring
Speaker 1: to it as from now on. Let's take a quick break,
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and talk about World War three
Speaker 1: and the aforementioned Donald Trump. Oh yeah, and we're back
Speaker 1: and new World War three panic dropped. Over the weekend,
Speaker 1: Iran launched explosive drones and fired missiles at Israel. Again.
Speaker 1: The media is covering this almost. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: the main thing that is getting the coverage, and not
Speaker 1: like the fact that Israel had killed two Iranian generals
Speaker 1: and embassy. You're not provocative attack on a fucking embassy.
Speaker 1: On April first, can I.
Speaker 2: Tell you something. Fucking Ecuador raided the Mexican embassy in
Speaker 2: Ecuador to get one of their people out. I don't
Speaker 2: know all the details, but Mexico completely cut diplomatic ties
Speaker 2: for a raid.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, if you blow up an embassy, they're going
Speaker 2: to be pissed like to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But like the whole thing, I don't so like obviously,
Speaker 1: World War III soon trending on Twitter. The nightmare in
Speaker 1: the Middle East has always been like a war that
Speaker 1: involves Iran. Biden came out and stated the US wouldn't
Speaker 1: participate in a counter offensive against Iran, although US and
Speaker 1: UK forces did help Israel shoot down the Iranian drones.
Speaker 1: Basically they completely repelled the attack to a degree that
Speaker 1: like you'd think that they would be downplaying how much
Speaker 1: they repelled the attack if they wanted to justify the war.
Speaker 1: But like it just seems like it's being portrayed as
Speaker 1: like now we basically got every single one.
Speaker 3: I think I saw an article it was like we
Speaker 3: literally gotten ninety nine percent of them.
Speaker 1: Yes, but Columbian President Gustavo Petro said we're now in
Speaker 1: the prelude to World War three.
Speaker 2: But he would say that, wouldn't he Petro.
Speaker 1: I mean, his last name is Petro. Forgot he just
Speaker 1: wants he just wants that sweet sweet gas and oil money,
Speaker 1: if I had to guess based on knowing absolutely nothing
Speaker 1: about him other than his name. But there's also like
Speaker 1: the like John Bolton was invited for a friendly chat
Speaker 1: on CNN and called Biden an embarrassment for not attacking Iran.
Speaker 1: It's just like this when you go back and read
Speaker 1: about the Cuban missile crisis, like there has been this
Speaker 1: contingent of people who as far you know, as long
Speaker 1: back as the sixties Cuban Missile crisis, they were like,
Speaker 1: Kennedy is letting Russia and Cuba put rush us around
Speaker 1: and just wait and see the consequences of not starting
Speaker 1: a nuclear war with them. Of course the consequences were
Speaker 1: we didn't end the human species. Yeah, but like we
Speaker 1: never It's like you have to go back and like
Speaker 1: read the historical accounts of the time to really get
Speaker 1: through just how wild it is that, like in a
Speaker 1: room with the president was a whole contingent of people
Speaker 1: who are like, we got to start a nuclear war.
Speaker 1: Well that's the only logical next step. And in this
Speaker 1: case we have nan Yahu behind the switches and that
Speaker 1: makes me very uncomfortable. I don't know, but the whole
Speaker 1: the whole thing is scary, desperate and seemed to be
Speaker 1: intentionally provoking something like this with you, like like you said,
Speaker 1: blowing up an embassy is no small uh matter.
Speaker 2: Like it was, I mean, something like this was bound
Speaker 2: to happen, just with like there's you can't just level
Speaker 2: an entire like an entire city with everything in it.
Speaker 3: Yes, and there's it's just there was always going to
Speaker 3: be slash back on this fucking rampage that they're on,
Speaker 3: this this literal genocidal rampage. Yeah, like there's there was
Speaker 3: always going to be some slash back, and here here
Speaker 3: we are almost immediately dealing with ramifications of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like slashback as opposed to like blowback is
Speaker 1: the typical like c I a term, but slash back
Speaker 1: is more like vomity, And I feel like that's appropriate.
Speaker 2: Because it's so fucking messy. It's just like it's not
Speaker 2: it's not this. It's going to keep slashing back.
Speaker 3: It's going to go that way and it's going to
Speaker 3: come back, and it's just yeah, it's not good for
Speaker 3: anybody on earth, apparently, unless you live in Patagonia, where
Speaker 3: the trade winds won't bring the fallout.
Speaker 1: Right, Is that right? That's the one place that we.
Speaker 2: All have to, one place, they keep saying, So.
Speaker 1: This is actually really good for real estate and Patagonia,
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Patagonians. Also. Prophecies of twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: made by Nostra damas Man this guy had a lot
Speaker 1: of time. He wrote prophecies for every year, like up
Speaker 1: to this one.
Speaker 3: That was the great thing about the past. It was boring.
Speaker 3: You had fuck all to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he just his way of getting high
Speaker 1: was he would just stare into a candle and then
Speaker 1: like the visions would come to him. Anyways, all he said,
Speaker 1: you're going to see people on social media being like
Speaker 1: Nostradama's predicted it at like I said, was something about
Speaker 1: a naval war with a red adversary, because he wrote
Speaker 1: a lot of vague shit that can be contorted to
Speaker 1: mean almost anything. Cool. And also they had an invented.
Speaker 2: Adversary, so that could be China or Russia, right, anybody
Speaker 2: with red blood cells.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you think about it, they could also
Speaker 1: be read for reasons that we'll work out later. We read,
Speaker 1: well read, that's right, motherfucker's read. But anyways, you know,
Speaker 1: take a moment to I don't know, meditate, do whatever
Speaker 1: it is that you do to take care of yourself,
Speaker 1: because these are fucking stressful times.
Speaker 2: Yes, and also you don't have to pick a side
Speaker 2: you do not, Yes, you.
Speaker 1: Don't have to do it. I'm so stressed out, which
Speaker 1: one do I say, is the right? All right? Trump
Speaker 1: a lot of people talking about his New York trial beginning.
Speaker 1: I think everybody like remembered the days of OJ and
Speaker 1: got horny for a big public trial. But before we
Speaker 1: get to his public trial, that actually won't be that public,
Speaker 1: unfortunately for CNN and others. This weekend he also so
Speaker 1: he held a rally in Schneckville, Pennsylvania, where he went
Speaker 1: on a rant about the Battle of Gettysburg, the deadliest
Speaker 1: battle in the Civil War, which more than fifty thousand
Speaker 1: people were killed. Trump said, it was so beautiful in
Speaker 1: so many different ways. It represented such a big portion
Speaker 1: of the success of this country. Gettysburg. Wow. And then
Speaker 1: he added Robert E. Lee, Roberty Lee, who's no longer
Speaker 1: in favor. Did you ever notice it's no longer in favor?
Speaker 1: Never fight uphill me, boys, Never fight uphill Wow. That
Speaker 1: was a big mistake. Never fight uphill me boys. But
Speaker 1: it was too late.
Speaker 2: I've got the high ground. Anakin.
Speaker 1: It's such a funny take. I mean, Roberty Lee kind
Speaker 1: of Anakin, kind of a fucking trader, piece of shit.
Speaker 1: But then redeemed by his son before the death star
Speaker 1: blew up I don't know what the exact part metaphore
Speaker 1: was that, but the reason so just he wasn't super like.
Speaker 1: It's it's a funny take for Trump to be like,
Speaker 1: you ever noticed they canceled Robert E. Lee. It's like
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 2: He's saying that, like it happened like last week too.
Speaker 1: Yes, the reason Arlington National Cemetery is where it is
Speaker 1: is because America wanted like it is located on the
Speaker 1: plantation that Robert E. Lee like owned and lived on,
Speaker 1: and they were like, we're taking this and not only
Speaker 1: will you not be able to return to it, we're
Speaker 1: going to bury all the dead people who you are
Speaker 1: responsible for killing on your land. So go fuck yourself.
Speaker 1: How about that he was not super in favor at
Speaker 1: the time of the Civil War. People were pretty fucking
Speaker 1: clear cut about who the good guys and bad guys
Speaker 1: were at that time. It's just so funny that he's
Speaker 1: in a place where he's like, you ever noticed this
Speaker 1: guy canceled? We don't nobody nobody likes him anymore. It's bullshit. Anyways,
Speaker 1: the trial became a stand up, right, just unintentionally funny
Speaker 1: stand up. So the trial is starting today started this
Speaker 1: morning Apparently a number of Trump supporters appeared outside the courthouse,
Speaker 1: but they were outnumbered by members of the media. It's
Speaker 1: going to be tough for people to follow this trial
Speaker 1: closely because back to New York just be in a
Speaker 1: weird place with its own set of rules. New York
Speaker 1: doesn't allow cameras in courtrooms. Fine, like that's not that crazy. Uh.
Speaker 1: They don't even permit audio recordings or photographs. They will
Speaker 1: allow for about sixty journalists to attend, as well as
Speaker 1: two sketch artists.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is all because of the Sketch Artists Union,
Speaker 3: by the way, right, they're like, no, you can't let
Speaker 3: fucking video cameras in here.
Speaker 1: That's right, this is this is all we got. What
Speaker 1: if we were still what if artist the Sketch Artist
Speaker 1: Union had stopped the development of cameras, you know, like,
Speaker 1: thank you fighting back. Yeah, but first of all, so
Speaker 1: no cameras. I mean, I do have to say, as
Speaker 1: a former resident of New York and now Los Angelo,
Speaker 1: New York, you call yourself a showbiz town?
Speaker 2: Yea, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: This is bad TV. We stopped the world with a
Speaker 1: trial about a famous person and he wasn't even a
Speaker 1: former president. Or trying to become president again. Yeah, Robert Blake, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the big one. But the other detail of
Speaker 1: this that is like the very weirdly New York lives
Speaker 1: by its own rules thing. New York makes it nearly
Speaker 1: impossible to get transcripts of criminal trials because of a
Speaker 1: rule that transcripts have to be quote purchased from the
Speaker 1: court stenographers, who get to pocket the money themselves and
Speaker 1: can charge as much as four seventy five a page
Speaker 1: for transfer.
Speaker 3: What no, I'm so glad I didn't read the doc.
Speaker 3: This is the jinguine reaction. Got what the fuck? That
Speaker 3: is insane? And like talk about a real like union.
Speaker 3: This is some union.
Speaker 1: Shit. Yeah, here, this is strong. The stenographer's union is strong.
Speaker 2: Holy shit. It's like, I gotta I have to learn
Speaker 2: this weird ass keyboard. I need to make something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, media outlets are forbidden from sharing transcripts, so they
Speaker 1: all have to buy their own and publication is prohibited.
Speaker 2: Uh learning tonight, I'm learning Stenoh night.
Speaker 1: We're seventy five a page and they like the media
Speaker 1: can't publish it. So like theoretically everybody needs to buy
Speaker 1: their own copy. And if you like publish it on
Speaker 1: the internet, like I don't know it is publishing it
Speaker 1: on social media illegal? Or does everybody need to like
Speaker 1: have a hard copy like I remember. This reminds me
Speaker 1: of when the piracy panic back when people were worried
Speaker 1: that writing music down was going to like ruin the
Speaker 1: music industry, like back during like the days of Beethoven
Speaker 1: and shit, Like they were like these people, like these
Speaker 1: kids are writing music and it's actually ruining music because
Speaker 1: everybody's going to just be able to buy our music
Speaker 1: and copy it off of one another, and so like
Speaker 1: you just had to have like the original writing or
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's I mean.
Speaker 2: That's why conductors were so important. Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Conductor's Union also massive is the only.
Speaker 2: One who knows what the fuck it's supposed to sound
Speaker 2: like at the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But even so, it doesn't just apply to the media.
Speaker 1: Even prosecutors and defense attorneys have to buy their own
Speaker 1: copies of the transcript from the stenographers.
Speaker 2: Wow did this happen?
Speaker 1: I don't know. They be so happy.
Speaker 3: Wow, Stenographers shout out to you.
Speaker 2: For keeping it on lock in New York.
Speaker 1: The fact that they're not even just like micing people
Speaker 1: up and like doing a recording of their voices.
Speaker 2: They're like noting them out back in the alley right
Speaker 2: after trial, let's out just like slanging pages.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: It's a trap house. It's so funny.
Speaker 1: I got the papers. Who wants the papers? I got
Speaker 1: the papers and papers. It's awesome. It's really like, so
Speaker 1: this whole trial is going to take place in the
Speaker 1: Middle Ages, Like you're going to have like a written
Speaker 1: scroll of what somebody heard and then like drawings and yeah,
Speaker 1: which I don't know. Again, I respect it, New York.
Speaker 1: I love you so much. This is so weird.
Speaker 2: You're going to kill me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, exactly. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna come back and talk about so War.
Speaker 1: We both saw it. We're gonna have a little film
Speaker 1: corner and other pop culture bullshit. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back. We are, and Civil War broke records
Speaker 1: for an a twenty four movie at the box office.
Speaker 2: Crushed the record actually by good margin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, made like twenty five million dollars or something on.
Speaker 2: A on a fifty million dollar budget.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty five point seven million of the box office
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar but I mean it has to have
Speaker 1: been the most expensive a twenty four movie.
Speaker 2: It looked like the most expensive one. It did, you know.
Speaker 1: It's all up there on the screen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it it looked like a big budget action movie,
Speaker 2: and I was impressed.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But anyways, when the trailer for the movie came out,
Speaker 1: I remember we covered it. We were a little confused
Speaker 1: about the politics of this like civil war where like
Speaker 1: Texas and California have teamed up and they're like that
Speaker 1: was kind of the main thing I got was like
Speaker 1: there's the Western forces, which are Texas and California, and
Speaker 1: then there's like the loyalist and a authoritarian president who's
Speaker 1: in his third term played by Nick Offerman. I thought
Speaker 1: he would have more to do in the movie, but
Speaker 1: he's kind of like just on the margins a little
Speaker 1: bit and the whole like all of that. So apparently
Speaker 1: there's like four competing factions, but you just don't really
Speaker 1: need to know that going into the movie, where the
Speaker 1: movie like doesn't really make it important. It kind of
Speaker 1: goes out of its way to not tell you anything,
Speaker 1: like about like not choose a side really in the conflict.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I found that a very it was interesting
Speaker 3: considering what the film is about. But I thought it
Speaker 3: was a smart choice to not turn it into like
Speaker 3: this liberal Daily Wire style thing where it's pushing some
Speaker 3: sort of specific agenda.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was a movie with a story to tell, and
Speaker 2: I appreciate it that it just told the story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just focuses on photojournalists traveling through an American
Speaker 1: Civil war, and I thought so, like, I'm kind of
Speaker 1: two minds. On the one hand, like I there's definitely
Speaker 1: a feeling of like you're in an America that feels
Speaker 1: the way, like the way that the media and movies
Speaker 1: portray wars in other countries, like as a sort of
Speaker 1: abstract backdrop for other stories, is kind of how the
Speaker 1: Civil War in this movie is portrayed, like that nobody
Speaker 1: is picking a side, nobody's really weighing in other than
Speaker 1: they want to get an interview with the president before
Speaker 1: he's deposed, is kind of the frame of the movie.
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely a choice that, like the movie,
Speaker 1: I think is popular, at least partially because we have
Speaker 1: a authoritarian, dictatorial president. So like, I don't know, they
Speaker 1: keep you on like it has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: Trump and it's like, well that's not true. Like this,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like you could have made this movie
Speaker 1: and had like this many people be interested in it
Speaker 1: without the fact that Trump is happening, and like it
Speaker 1: feels like we're teetering on the edge of authoritarianism. But
Speaker 1: I guess there's authoritarianism happening around the world like that.
Speaker 1: There are other controversies, like the fact like it got
Speaker 1: some it thanks Andy know that, like real piece of
Speaker 1: shit guy who like wrote a book about Antifa that's
Speaker 1: like Antiphos like the the main bad guy in in
Speaker 1: history basically, and Antifax is one of the few real
Speaker 1: world elements that actually gets name checked. In Civil War,
Speaker 1: we hear about the antifoot massacre, but the movie never
Speaker 1: clarifies if like the anti fascists got slaughtered or did
Speaker 1: the slaughtering, which.
Speaker 3: I really actually kind of like, I was like, what
Speaker 3: the what's the what's the story behind that? I can
Speaker 3: see why people I almost think of it like you
Speaker 3: know how like Marvel movie nerds are always searching for
Speaker 3: Easter eggs and clues to like the next fucking like
Speaker 3: it's that's what this feels like.
Speaker 1: To me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because it's like the movie is. It's so unambiguous,
Speaker 2: much like every Alex Garland movie. They're they're not subtle films.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have to like google like what did
Speaker 3: it all mean? Like it's very clear what the film
Speaker 3: is about, what story he was trying to tell. And really,
Speaker 3: for me, it's like all of these questions that people
Speaker 3: have about these weird little politics, the politics of it.
Speaker 3: It's like it's almost like asking, but why couldn't women
Speaker 3: have kids and children of men?
Speaker 2: Like what's the reason? Why? Why is there why is
Speaker 2: there no water in Mad Max? What was the cataclysm
Speaker 2: in the road? It doesn't make sense to me if
Speaker 2: you watch the movie, because it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: In all those movies the bad guys should have been
Speaker 1: named Trump.
Speaker 3: It just seems silly when you watch it, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: those films are very much in line with this film.
Speaker 3: They are all sort of road movies in a world
Speaker 3: that's really fucked up and no one really there's this
Speaker 3: fog of war essentially, I guess nobody really knows what
Speaker 3: the fuck's happening. It's just this chaotic mess and you're
Speaker 3: just traveling through this world. You know, it's like, you know,
Speaker 3: children of men. They had those you know, those advertisements
Speaker 3: for those those suicide pills, and it's like it does
Speaker 3: make you wonder like how this came about, but it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: This is the world that the film's portraying. And yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's almost like some people are refusing to accept the
Speaker 2: film that they were given and they wanted something else.
Speaker 2: I just don't know what that's something else.
Speaker 1: Yes, the main overall takeaway is like everybody every part
Speaker 1: of the war feels like the second people are in
Speaker 1: the battle, you're like, god, this seems like a real mistake.
Speaker 1: Like the violence. Like there's one part where like somebody's
Speaker 1: out and like they're behind a column being shot at
Speaker 1: and like scared and crying and like you know, really
Speaker 1: know that they're about to die, and it like that
Speaker 1: felt really powerful to me, Like it's just no matter
Speaker 1: what side you're on, once the war starts, you're like, fuck, yeah.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who's shooting at you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a very there's very one of my favorite
Speaker 3: scenes in the film where some people are being shot
Speaker 3: at and you know, one of the one of the
Speaker 3: journalists is asking all these questions like yo, who who's
Speaker 3: given the orders here and like you know, who's shooting
Speaker 3: and it's like the the guy is just like and
Speaker 3: he's like, bro, yeah, somebody's shooting at me and I'm
Speaker 3: trying to kill them.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's all I got. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter who's shooting at me, they're trying to murder me.
Speaker 1: That's thee In some ways, like that, that blankness of
Speaker 1: like what is happening? Who maps onto what political ideology
Speaker 1: is kind of the point overall, Like I thought it was,
Speaker 1: you know, I enjoyed the movie. It kind of the
Speaker 1: the one thing that like I don't I would say
Speaker 1: bumped me, but it has this one scene for me,
Speaker 1: or these two scenes, the sniper scene, but then when
Speaker 1: Jesse Plemmons shows up, it's he is just it's it's
Speaker 1: not a long performance. I don't want to like spoil it. No,
Speaker 1: it's not a lot, but it is. So it reminds
Speaker 1: me of like when in Dark Knight, when like Keith
Speaker 1: Ledger's performance is so incredible that you're kind of just
Speaker 1: like waiting for the next moment for him to come back,
Speaker 1: like yeah, because Joker.
Speaker 2: Wasn't in that movie all that much.
Speaker 1: It's really not Yeah, you're like wow, just like takes
Speaker 1: it up or like saying private Ryan, Like there's like
Speaker 1: a chunk of the movie that's not the climax that's
Speaker 1: so much more electric and compelling than everything else that
Speaker 1: it sort of feels misshapen, like I like that's kind
Speaker 1: of how this was and feels to me a little bit.
Speaker 2: But the something about the glasses really somehow, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Why, and the red sunglasses are so fucking iconic.
Speaker 2: It makes it so much more unsettling why.
Speaker 1: It's wild because when we watch the trailer, we were like,
Speaker 1: everything besides the Plemons, like everything feels a little bit
Speaker 1: like it's like Sound of Freedom level, like I don't know,
Speaker 1: it feels like it could be a Daily Wire movie.
Speaker 1: And then shows up in the red sunglasses and in
Speaker 1: the trailer and I'm like, all right, I'm in like
Speaker 1: that that and that's the rest of the movie does
Speaker 1: not feel like a Daily Wire. Ben Shapiro production is.
Speaker 2: Pretty keeps talking about it like it is supposed to be,
Speaker 2: which is.
Speaker 1: Right, right. I think the rest of the movie is
Speaker 1: pretty strong, but the Plemons ship like really stands out
Speaker 1: and is fu and just one of the scariest characters
Speaker 1: just unbelievable. Yeah, really so yeah, I would definitely say
Speaker 1: absolutely worth your time if you're wondering whether or not
Speaker 1: to see it, if you're coming to the Daily Zecheist for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for two hours, it's great. It's beautifully shot.
Speaker 3: You get to see a very cinematic rendition of a
Speaker 3: what is referred to as a microwave. I won't elaborate
Speaker 3: on what that is, but it's right at the beginning
Speaker 3: of the movie and it looks terrifying and it's incredibly shot.
Speaker 1: Which which parts of the microwave I don't.
Speaker 2: Know when they're showing her like the.
Speaker 1: We're talking Havana syndrome bro no, like.
Speaker 3: Her PTSD shots, like right at the beginning where she's
Speaker 3: trying to like close her eyes and get some rest,
Speaker 3: and there's these flashes of past work she's done and
Speaker 3: they put they put the tire around that guy in
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ like and I thought, I see this in
Speaker 3: a movie like this is fucking wild.
Speaker 1: That is one of the moments also that sticks with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the tone for the film of like, oh,
Speaker 2: this isn't going to be.
Speaker 1: Chill at all, not chill the number one just.
Speaker 3: Do with the microwave and the opening credits, like basically
Speaker 3: I'm like.
Speaker 2: Oh, ok, Alex, calm down. You don't have to hurt him,
Speaker 2: Alex damn.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's see other other pop culture news happening.
Speaker 2: What do we get? What do we get? What do
Speaker 2: we get?
Speaker 1: Rip? Gen Z? Unfortunately they couldn't handle sex in the city.
Speaker 1: It killed them. They There's just this is like, this
Speaker 1: is one of the stories that we're just covering because
Speaker 1: it's a fake story, but you're probably seeing it, so
Speaker 1: we'll just let you know.
Speaker 2: I did see something about this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: There's just like a handful of tweets and one article
Speaker 1: in The Independent claiming that the show is often ring,
Speaker 1: which it always has been that from the moment it
Speaker 1: came out, cris the tone was, the tone was like
Speaker 1: the just brutal clunkers of jokes, and from day one
Speaker 1: it is unabashedly crint uh So. And that's not me
Speaker 1: saying so why are you writing this, gen Z. It's
Speaker 1: me being like, this controversy is so fucking stupid, Like
Speaker 1: just because someone's young and says that something feels cringe,
Speaker 1: like that changes it, even though like that is explicitly
Speaker 1: it's purpose I think I think there are some young
Speaker 1: people who are like, wait, you guys thought this ship
Speaker 1: was like not cringe, and it's like, no, it's helpful
Speaker 1: to clarify that has always been the point of Sex
Speaker 1: in the City is like bad clunker, dumb sex puns
Speaker 1: and jokes.
Speaker 2: My question is, why is gen Z even bothering.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like gen Z watched like like the
Speaker 3: Andy Griffiths Show or something like why are you Why
Speaker 3: are you here?
Speaker 1: It's on Netflix, so uh, people just watch it on Netflix.
Speaker 1: But also it's like a cultural thing, like I don't
Speaker 1: begrudge on the opportunity to watch it. Obviously, nobody is
Speaker 1: forcing them to watch it, and I feel like they
Speaker 1: also understand perfectly well that not every movie or TV
Speaker 1: show from a quarter century ago is going to stand
Speaker 1: the test of time. This feels more like it's just
Speaker 1: a old people in the media who are frustrated with
Speaker 1: their kids not liking the shit that they like, trying
Speaker 1: to make a story happen.
Speaker 3: Most of them for giving it a shot, though, because
Speaker 3: I genuinely wouldn't have thought that this would have any
Speaker 3: appeal at all, and they would just like.
Speaker 2: Just ghost the whole show. Yeah, but they gave it a.
Speaker 1: Shot, right, yeah. I mean it's iconic and that I
Speaker 1: could see people like even I as, what's the second
Speaker 1: the City reboot called? And just like that and just
Speaker 1: like and just like that was so persistent even after
Speaker 1: like the first two episodes that I think we watched
Speaker 1: for this show just to be like, wait, there's got
Speaker 1: to be something here, right, everybody's talking about it. Like
Speaker 1: even I was like with there it feels like there's
Speaker 1: more here than there really is. I can see that
Speaker 1: driving people two sex in the city to be like
Speaker 1: all right, well that sucked, but clearly there's something here
Speaker 1: that's like bringing people back trying to recapture something. The
Speaker 1: other big pop culture event of the weekend was Conan
Speaker 1: O'Brien being eulogized basically following his appearance on Hot Ones.
Speaker 1: Like my entire social media feed for like twelve hours
Speaker 1: was people being like Conan O'Brien is funny, like it
Speaker 1: just and it was all in the tone of people
Speaker 1: being like these kid again could be a fake news
Speaker 1: story because it's a lot of people being like the
Speaker 1: these kids don't realize how funny Conan is. But that
Speaker 1: that seemed to be the experience. So did you see
Speaker 1: the Conan appearance on hot Ones?
Speaker 2: Uh? No, no, I gotta admit never watched hot ones.
Speaker 1: So I had never watched hot ones either, like it seemed.
Speaker 1: While the main take in the in social media seemed
Speaker 1: to be we've all seen hot ones, and now a
Speaker 1: bunch of us are just discovering Conan O'Brien, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: that for most people the truth is like the opposite
Speaker 1: that they knew Conan, and or at least most people
Speaker 1: like our age and like are just this was my
Speaker 1: first experience with hot ones. I probably won't be watching
Speaker 1: more hot Ones. I don't know. There was nothing like wrong.
Speaker 2: Why don't people eat spicy food? It just sounds annoying
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 1: It's like an episode of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend,
Speaker 1: which is a podcast I enjoy. If he was hurting
Speaker 1: himself the whole time, which is what the idea of
Speaker 1: hot ones is. Like, you see this person being interviewed
Speaker 1: while they're like suffering a little bit. That's not really
Speaker 1: my thing. I don't I don't get much. I mean, hell,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to see oj hear a guilty verdict.
Speaker 1: That's how much I don't want suffering. I just want
Speaker 1: I want everybody to be happy. But he's really funny
Speaker 1: and like, you know, it's a it's a great piece
Speaker 1: of video. I definitely recommend it. But it's just people
Speaker 1: are treating it like they this is wow. Conan O'Brien.
Speaker 1: Who's this Conan O'Brien. Fella.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the second best writer for.
Speaker 3: The Simpsons of all time, behind too John Schwartzwelder, George Waller.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and that guy just stayed writing for the
Speaker 1: Simpsons right for a long time.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's got some of the best episodes under
Speaker 2: his belt.
Speaker 1: Anyways, worth watching. Go check it out, give it the wood,
Speaker 1: watch the along with Civil War.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll check it out.
Speaker 1: He really like he just has a complete breakdown and
Speaker 1: when he got home, like my man, I was legitimately
Speaker 1: like worried for his safety. If you have you ever
Speaker 1: gotten like kept sasan or you know, like been cutting
Speaker 1: plapangos and gotten it on your hands, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: It definitely. I remember one time I was making hot
Speaker 2: sauce at work and.
Speaker 1: Some not go away. It is a weird feeling, and
Speaker 1: he's rubbing hot sauce all over him.
Speaker 2: I rubbed like right underneath my eye.
Speaker 3: Not I didn't touch my eye, but I touched like
Speaker 3: right underneath it, and those those vapors started moving up
Speaker 3: and I was in capacity.
Speaker 2: It was like I got pepper sprayed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeahah. In his case, he said that he
Speaker 1: had a complete breakdown and that when he got home
Speaker 1: his skin was literally burning because he got hot sauce
Speaker 1: under his wedding ring, which is interesting because yeah, like
Speaker 1: if you always wear your wedding ring, that's the skin
Speaker 1: underneath it gets like turns into like gollum skin.
Speaker 2: It's like weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just like weird things.
Speaker 3: It's like you don't take a band aid off for
Speaker 3: like three days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like a weird little deformed part of
Speaker 1: your body.
Speaker 4: Oh man, that sounds like it's yeah yeah, the part
Speaker 4: the part of my finger under my wedding ring is
Speaker 4: like precious, don't.
Speaker 1: Like when we go outside, it's like, what is this
Speaker 1: light off of me? He said, If I think something's funny,
Speaker 1: I will do it and suffer later, And that's exactly
Speaker 1: what happened. And uh yeah, I was. I was worried
Speaker 1: for his safety during the show, and apparently rightly so,
Speaker 1: because he was rubbing. Don't hot sauce, anything spicy can
Speaker 1: be it's it's like treat it like acid, like LSD.
Speaker 1: It can be absorbed through your skin and have the
Speaker 1: same effect through your skin. Uh, do not yeah, and
Speaker 1: do not do it with an eye dropper. I would say,
Speaker 1: all right, those are some of the things that we're
Speaker 1: trending over this weekend. Brian the Editor, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining Filling in Pleasure? Where can people find you?
