Speaker 1: I was. I was eight year old stomping grounds miles.
Speaker 1: I even asked ultrazon big party this week, I was,
Speaker 1: I was so impressed.
Speaker 2: Is that the owner of the place, Yeah, who looks
Speaker 2: like a character from Clerks who got like edited out
Speaker 2: of the movie.
Speaker 1: They were like, let's go, let's go find somebody who
Speaker 1: might have like been here when he was here. And uh,
Speaker 1: because I was like, yeah, my corker like used to
Speaker 1: do that. I think he did like your job. And
Speaker 1: she was like what, no way, I didn't expect such
Speaker 1: a big response. And then she like went in the
Speaker 1: back and was like looking for old people. I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: if they knew you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you had to be working there, fucking
Speaker 2: I was like it.
Speaker 1: Was the early I kept being like it was the nineties,
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't the nice I started working there in
Speaker 1: two thousand and two two two.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She was like, maybe the owner would like I didn't
Speaker 1: say this so that you could.
Speaker 2: Go find someone to like yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: my story. They respect their elders so much to like, well,
Speaker 2: I don't want to just blow this old guy off
Speaker 2: and say oh cool man. Sure, They're like, oh, let
Speaker 2: me find someone from you so nice. They're really like
Speaker 2: bro Like I mean the guy who owns that place,
Speaker 2: like he's really That's why it was kind of a
Speaker 2: coveted job because not any motherfucker could work at Ultra zoone. No,
Speaker 2: you had to have you had to be oh, you
Speaker 2: got to have the risk. You got to also be
Speaker 2: able to control some children in a way that doesn't
Speaker 2: come off like you're a dick. I learned. So it's funny.
Speaker 2: I learned so much at that job for it being
Speaker 2: just a laser tech place, Like I learned how to
Speaker 2: like that's the first my crash course in dealing with celebrities. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in a weird way where they're going to treat you
Speaker 2: like shit, but you got to kind of like Jedi
Speaker 2: mind trick them out of why they can't do something.
Speaker 2: They're like, well I can't I can't bring this Hibachi
Speaker 2: grill into the room. It's like, no, you didn't rent
Speaker 2: the room long enough. Like we can order pizza and like,
Speaker 2: but we need more anyway, shout out Altra Zone. I
Speaker 2: was actually just in that on Saturday. I was just
Speaker 2: up the street because I was at this place called
Speaker 2: the Candy Land Playground.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: For my friend's kid's birthday there? Yeah, crazy crazy? Is
Speaker 2: that why?
Speaker 1: Whenever I started like going off on a rant that's
Speaker 1: unrelated to the show, you say, if you can hear
Speaker 1: me clap once?
Speaker 2: Yep, if you can hear me clap twice. That was
Speaker 2: a new. One time we would just bro that it's funny,
Speaker 2: that's new because we would just shout yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll get it. I'd be like, that's how, that's how
Speaker 2: we get it started. And then they'd be like, and
Speaker 2: then I got ready to play some laser They're like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: hell yeah. Simple times.
Speaker 1: I mean, you might have had a more commanding voice.
Speaker 1: I still need the if you can hear me, yeah
Speaker 1: yeah I can.
Speaker 2: I can. I can get the kids. Do you do
Speaker 2: the loud whistle? No? I can't. I can spin on
Speaker 2: my fingers real nasty exactly. I can make a finger.
Speaker 2: That's like the final boss of American masculinity that I
Speaker 2: haven't conquered yet is the loud fingers in the mouth whistle.
Speaker 2: Because my dad could do it, and I was like,
Speaker 2: as a kid, I was like, what the fuck is
Speaker 2: he doing? He could do the one like two fingers,
Speaker 2: You could do the one like this. I still don't
Speaker 2: know what them. I gave up on it, like to
Speaker 2: figure that one out. I'm gonna be like, I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna be one of those like regular melodic whistlers.
Speaker 1: Yeah I can. I can whistle a melody pretty well,
Speaker 1: but I cannot do the loud whistle the heart up
Speaker 1: stone to. The harder I whistle, the less I can.
Speaker 1: You know, the harder the harder I blow, the less
Speaker 1: sound comes out.
Speaker 2: Yep, it's funny. Isn't it ironic that that? And isn't
Speaker 2: it ironic? Don't you think the harder I blow, the
Speaker 2: more miserable it becomes. Hello the Internet, and welcome to
Speaker 2: this week trend edition of dirtally Zide. Guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, usually I turned my head away, but this time
Speaker 1: I went full barrel on the camera because I was
Speaker 1: writing the number of the time it was.
Speaker 2: I apologize for if I.
Speaker 1: Hurt anybody's ears. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over
Speaker 1: there is my co host, mister Miles.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Yes, just yes. What a weekend?
Speaker 2: What a weekend? Man? What a weekend? Truly? The yeah?
Speaker 2: You did it all? Did it? Oh? Hell yeah? Man?
Speaker 2: Did it all? Fuck it? Not to see a Clippers
Speaker 2: game at a bar because I thought, oh, game seven, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was like, this could be interesting narrators. It was not.
Speaker 2: It was not. Man, that was as hell d the
Speaker 2: third court eaven and and we're like, man, let's go
Speaker 2: someone to eat. Yeah yeah, and not that even I
Speaker 2: was like I was, I just was hoped. I didn't
Speaker 2: care who won. I was just like I just wanted
Speaker 2: to see something like a game seven and a game
Speaker 2: seven twas not.
Speaker 1: I always make fun of like ESPN and like other
Speaker 1: sports outlets for they'll always do these stats that are
Speaker 1: you know, the this team, the Los Angeles Clippers historically,
Speaker 1: are you know, fifty four and eighty seven in game seven,
Speaker 1: you know, like over the course of the entire franchise.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is like so pointless, Like those
Speaker 1: were different players, Like there's a different coach, like you
Speaker 1: know the ship of theseus, like you know that this
Speaker 1: is just not the same team, Like why are we
Speaker 1: even talking about like what a franchise has done historically?
Speaker 1: And then you have teams like the Clippers that it's
Speaker 1: just like they're maybe the best team in the West
Speaker 1: or second best, and they still manage to fuck it
Speaker 1: up just because they're the Clippers, you.
Speaker 2: Know, And I'm not happy. I mean, I'm not happy.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you weren't there. Just you know, like at
Speaker 1: the end of the every you're on, you're on the
Speaker 1: juke box just playing that over and.
Speaker 2: Trying to get a huge blowout lead going so you
Speaker 2: could overcome that instead of record this is cool, this
Speaker 2: will be cool, this will be.
Speaker 1: Anyways, bummer NBA weekend, But I mean it's fun. Steph
Speaker 1: had a fun game last night.
Speaker 2: Thank god.
Speaker 1: Some more into round two, which should be very entertaining.
Speaker 1: Uh So, this is the episode where we tell you
Speaker 1: what was happening over the weekend and this morning in
Speaker 1: the news. But first we get to know each other,
Speaker 1: get to know ourselves a little bit better by telling
Speaker 1: you some stuff we think is underrated and overrated. Miles,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? So thing I
Speaker 1: think is underrated is.
Speaker 2: Where do I have it? Yes, recovering your balance after slipping,
Speaker 2: thus preventing a fall in public. I think this is
Speaker 2: actually one of the more enjoyable small victories in life.
Speaker 2: That you're one of the great feelings. It's you feel
Speaker 2: like a fucking Olympian. Okay, when you do this. I
Speaker 2: slipped in a puddle in the parking lot of a
Speaker 2: grocery store and I skidded for a moment. I said, whoa.
Speaker 2: Then immediately then I like my hockey ice skating like
Speaker 2: balance things kicked in and I shifted my weight and
Speaker 2: I like, like I pivoted in this way that was beautiful,
Speaker 2: Like I recovered with such a race. Okay, it was
Speaker 2: fucking I was so nicely. I honibly was like oh
Speaker 2: fuck yeah, Like I was like, whot yeah, like you
Speaker 2: got this ship. And then but the thing that I
Speaker 2: this is the reason why I say it's underrated, is
Speaker 2: I just wish the one other fucking dude in the
Speaker 2: parking lot that saw that ship could have acted. He
Speaker 2: acted like I fell down and ship myself and kind
Speaker 2: of ignored the beautiful Like he didn't want to be
Speaker 2: like I didn't see that.
Speaker 1: I just he like would look at you, he wouldn't
Speaker 1: make that contact.
Speaker 2: He saw me scared, and he saw the recovery and
Speaker 2: then just kind of was just shifted his thing to
Speaker 2: not be like, hey, I saw that. It's okay, man.
Speaker 2: You can just you can just have you can just
Speaker 2: suffer in silence. No one has to know that you
Speaker 2: beautifully private. Shame. I'm like, bro, no, like I'm I
Speaker 2: was proud, not embarrassed. You ran over to give him
Speaker 2: a high five. Yeah, I'm like, you should join me
Speaker 2: in that. And now I think when people do that,
Speaker 2: we should applaud and say, hey, all that that was fantastic.
Speaker 2: I would like to celebrate you and buy you all
Speaker 2: of your groceries today.
Speaker 1: So it's it's really a matter of moments because before
Speaker 1: the slip happens, it's like a I get I guess,
Speaker 1: like a net negative or just like a net oh yeah, neutral.
Speaker 1: But as the slip is happening, you are on the
Speaker 1: precipice of of a failure so embarrassing that like, pulling
Speaker 1: out of that is a major victory.
Speaker 2: It's a huge Just like with Donald Trump softening his
Speaker 2: stance on the tariffs, people should be celebrating them. That's right.
Speaker 2: But no, that's how it feels. I mean anyway, I
Speaker 2: thought it was just it was so funny how I
Speaker 2: kept looking at that dude to see if I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: laser folk. He wanted nothing to do with it, and fine, whatever,
Speaker 2: I don't. You don't need to give me your attention.
Speaker 2: But like I think we just even when you fall,
Speaker 2: because like even when I see people said, I'm going, oh,
Speaker 2: you're right, yeah, I like to hit people with one
Speaker 2: of those I don't do the I didn't see that
Speaker 2: ship nice say, I'm like, hey, i'd be like I
Speaker 2: saw you and I care. Yeah, no shade, no shame,
Speaker 2: absolutely not. I'm proud of you, Myles I for one,
Speaker 2: I'm proud of you. Man. I'm gonna be I'm gonna
Speaker 2: actually be going to uh the Ralphs on Cold Water Canyon. See,
Speaker 2: just doing a little set. You might you might catch
Speaker 2: me fucking around and do something classic. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: You almost slipped in a puddle. That's yeah, that's real bad,
Speaker 1: Like it's ling in a puddle.
Speaker 2: It was like I didn't see it and my there
Speaker 2: was like a sound behind me that caught my attention.
Speaker 2: So I took a misplaced step and it was just
Speaker 2: one of those things where like you know, sometimes some
Speaker 2: sneakers can just be like feel greasy. On my situation,
Speaker 2: it was just one of those moments. And the way
Speaker 2: I got out of that ship, jack Man, fuck that
Speaker 2: guy in the park man, that's your overrated Is that
Speaker 2: guy in the park that guy. Yeah for real, all right.
Speaker 1: My underrated is how much fun birds are having. I've
Speaker 1: always suspected that birds.
Speaker 2: I've always suspected I have so like I remember having this.
Speaker 2: This is like a high thought that I had.
Speaker 1: I think I was in like Ireland and watching like
Speaker 1: these birds just like there's like a puff of wind
Speaker 1: and they were just up there, like not moving, just
Speaker 1: like coasting on like kind of surfing on the wind
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, just like in place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So like there was no evident reason for them to
Speaker 1: be doing that other than they were just like having
Speaker 1: fun with it. It looked like they were surfing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And so I've always been like, you know, that seems
Speaker 1: that seems fun as hell, first of all, and it
Speaker 1: seems like they appreciate how fun it is. But I've
Speaker 1: never been able to interview them about why they were
Speaker 1: soaring around like on a bump of wind, so I
Speaker 1: could never prove it. But I feel like I finally
Speaker 1: got proof in this social media video that I saw.
Speaker 2: I think it was on Nature is Amazing or Amazing
Speaker 2: Nature or something.
Speaker 1: And it's a bird that just flies straight up in
Speaker 1: the air and then like just starts spinning.
Speaker 2: Dude, this is fucking crazy. Isn't this cool? What the fuck?
Speaker 2: This bird hit A sixty one twenty that's seventeen three sixties.
Speaker 1: It's just like straight up goes like some X game shit,
Speaker 1: Like there's no feasible survival mechanism at all.
Speaker 2: It just flies straight up. No one in the replies
Speaker 2: with a triple.
Speaker 1: Axle and then pulls out of the spin just in time.
Speaker 1: I didn't even look in the reply yea for someone
Speaker 1: to be like, that's actually a crisis mode there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there, Terry Gland is on the skits right there.
Speaker 2: It's just it's freaking out. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just this is all the proof I need, and
Speaker 1: like it also I feel like applies to the rest
Speaker 1: of the species, you know. I in my old age,
Speaker 1: I've turned into like a bird guy, and like just
Speaker 1: all the I've read people like trying to explain why
Speaker 1: they're always sitting to each other like that all the time,
Speaker 1: and like the theories are like to warm up in
Speaker 1: the morning and like mating calls obviously and communicating predator locations,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure like some of that stuff, but I
Speaker 1: also feel like it's partially they just like have a
Speaker 1: song in their heart and they're just they just want
Speaker 1: to like.
Speaker 2: The answer is in the replies Jack, they answer for
Speaker 2: why it did that? Bro, Yeah, it's in the replies
Speaker 2: what's it saying? Choo Belie. They said, that's a roller
Speaker 2: pigeon having a seizure. No, and they and they hit it.
Speaker 2: But as I look into it, it's not like a seizure,
Speaker 2: like like a neurological condition. It's just that they have
Speaker 2: a trait and it's called that, all.
Speaker 1: Right, so why are they doing it? But it's in
Speaker 1: involuntary I don't know. There's another person who says the
Speaker 1: Verdan videos is likely a swift known for its exceptional
Speaker 1: aerial agility. Swifts can stay airborn for up to ten months, feeding, sleeping,
Speaker 1: and even fun.
Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing, even they're explaining nation of a seizures, like
Speaker 2: it's not even a seizure. It's like they just have
Speaker 2: a skill they do and they just call it. Sounds
Speaker 2: like a bird hater being like that's a seizure. That's
Speaker 2: a seizure. They're like, it's a sixty one twenty It
Speaker 2: did seventeen three sixties.
Speaker 1: That shit was so dope whip and it pulls out
Speaker 1: just in time.
Speaker 2: Oh, but you just saw this clip. It's like you
Speaker 2: saw a bird doing that, and you're like, what the
Speaker 2: fuck you came upon this clip? And then they've also
Speaker 2: fun up there.
Speaker 1: I just generally I've always felt that way, like when
Speaker 1: you see birds flying around, like they're like playing with
Speaker 1: each other and they're just having fun, and like we
Speaker 1: always when it's an animal, I feel like there's part
Speaker 1: of us that, because of how horribly we treat animals,
Speaker 1: we just want to turn them into survival robots, and
Speaker 1: so we take all of the joy or like artistry
Speaker 1: out of it and just turn it into well that
Speaker 1: the reason they're doing that is to practice evading predators
Speaker 1: in the most you.
Speaker 2: Know, aggressive way.
Speaker 1: You know, like we always just wanted to be one
Speaker 1: step closer to propagating there the survival of their species.
Speaker 1: Where I just feel like sometimes you know, I think
Speaker 1: I think it's a mixture, just like it is with humanity.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a book called The Evolution of Beauty
Speaker 1: that explains why they look so colorful, and I mean
Speaker 1: it makes sense, but also like I don't know, they
Speaker 1: just seem persistently artistic in all aspects of their existence
Speaker 1: in a way that I think is pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people would see my slip and recovery in the
Speaker 2: parking lot. It's just some kind of just a human
Speaker 2: having bounce. That's actually a mating call. That's that's right.
Speaker 2: And the one man that was in the parking lot
Speaker 2: who could have been on the receiving chose to ignore
Speaker 2: it and called peacocking and my and my lineage would
Speaker 2: have ended there. That's amazing. What Miles is something you
Speaker 2: think is overrated? Fuck man, I think I've said this
Speaker 2: like three times in the last year. But like the
Speaker 2: phoenix effect of trump Ism that it's having on like
Speaker 2: neoliberalism right now, it's y'all need to people need to,
Speaker 2: people really need to be reporting on this in like
Speaker 2: a broader context because we've seen two elections in the
Speaker 2: last week where a barely staying afloat neoliberal party hath
Speaker 2: been saved by the mere sight of trump Ism. And
Speaker 2: the latest election was in Australia we'll probably talk about
Speaker 2: that a little bit more, where Conservatives looked like they
Speaker 2: were about to pull up in force but their candidate
Speaker 2: was way too hot for Trump anyway. Albanize didn't have
Speaker 2: to do too much and he played his hand, right,
Speaker 2: He just sort of let the Trump want to be
Speaker 2: looked like a fucking creep, and then you know, it
Speaker 2: was ended up getting a huge majority of a historic win,
Speaker 2: and I think for the Conservative Liberal Party it was
Speaker 2: like a historic loss. The other side of that is
Speaker 2: that he did not pitch voters on any kind of
Speaker 2: transformative change. He was just like, yeah, albities did not
Speaker 2: just sort of like doing what you know the Democrats
Speaker 2: did here. They're kind of like, I mean, you see
Speaker 2: what he's doing over there, right, I mean, you tell
Speaker 2: you if that's what y'all want, that's fine. I mean,
Speaker 2: but we we do our thing our way over here.
Speaker 2: So again, Australia has very similar situation like many other countries,
Speaker 2: a severe cost of living crisis, and it seems like
Speaker 2: the pitch in this election is again, like I said,
Speaker 2: like the US election last year, it's like you can
Speaker 2: vote for rapid decline or slow incremental decline like you're
Speaker 2: used to right which way? Yeah, because you've seen them
Speaker 2: do the rapid line and it's not going very well.
Speaker 2: So overall, I have a prediction these governments that have
Speaker 2: benefited from Trump trump Ism like as a counterpoint or
Speaker 2: juxtaposition will lose again if they fail to address the
Speaker 2: thing that makes right wing extremism palatable inequality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, neoliberalism, the very thing that they stand for. Yeah, exactly, yeah.
Speaker 2: If you because like even the stuff that Albany is
Speaker 2: just pitching like for like that that would help first
Speaker 2: time home ownership really didn't upset the balance of power
Speaker 2: in terms of like the real estate industry or landlords
Speaker 2: and things like that. It's all meant to happen, like
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, yeah, we can carve off a
Speaker 2: little piece that feels like it's doing something big when
Speaker 2: really it's not. Yeah, and that's I'm just like, this
Speaker 2: is the watch the next cycle. If things only get worse,
Speaker 2: we're going to see a resurgence again and you're not
Speaker 2: going to be able to be like.
Speaker 1: But the stud is quo sure, Yeah, I wonder where
Speaker 1: the because I feel like the Democratic Party is looking
Speaker 1: at this and being like, yeah, see, we still got it,
Speaker 1: Like this is what's going to happen in America.
Speaker 2: Like Marvel with thunderbolts right now about still No, you
Speaker 2: don't look at them? What about this says you do?
Speaker 1: I But I do feel like America in this one
Speaker 1: respect is ahead of the rest of the world, and
Speaker 1: we did the miss country is completely out on neoliberalism
Speaker 1: and like not going.
Speaker 2: To you know what I mean. That's the thing is,
Speaker 2: like I don't think enough people they're pissed. I don't
Speaker 2: know how many people have yet quite you know, rightly
Speaker 2: analyzed the situation and said, Okay, anyone who comes in
Speaker 2: talking that neo lib nonsense is going to get us
Speaker 2: right back to where we started. The thing that we're
Speaker 2: yearning for is to unburden ourselves with the status quo,
Speaker 2: which is violence. So if we're not talking about that,
Speaker 2: then that's not going to happen. Where I think a
Speaker 2: lot of people, just because Trump is back, they're willing,
Speaker 2: they're going to be open to someone coming back to
Speaker 2: just say something more sane but maybe not as transformative.
Speaker 2: That's where I think. That's where like the war for
Speaker 2: the soul of this voting base is going to happen.
Speaker 1: How many people can be keeping like the people are
Speaker 1: the ones showing up to the like the Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: and like aoc rallies and shit, and the people are
Speaker 1: the ones who are like frustrated with the Trump stuff.
Speaker 1: And the people are the ones who fucking just didn't
Speaker 1: vote for Harris and what a lot of people thought
Speaker 1: was like a shocking sure, you know, but on your
Speaker 1: performance on her part, I feel like they maybe they
Speaker 1: don't like understand it in like the exact words, but like,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just the mainstream media apparatus that
Speaker 1: is like not asn't like refuses to wrap their mind
Speaker 1: around it, you know.
Speaker 2: I think the thing that we'll see is like when
Speaker 2: there's a candidate, right and their platform is like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm not Trump and we got to like we got
Speaker 2: to look out for each other, and you're it, it
Speaker 2: does seem very different, but they're not going all in
Speaker 2: on like and I'm going to raise the minimum wage
Speaker 2: to twenty five dollars an hour, right, and having people
Speaker 2: be like, yes, that's that shit. If someone goes back
Speaker 2: and it's just like and we can get minimum wage
Speaker 2: to seventeen or something, and people are like great, that's
Speaker 2: where I'm worried that it's like no, no, no, right.
Speaker 2: The reason we're so fucked is because we're not our
Speaker 2: minimum Like we there's so many things we should all
Speaker 2: be advocating for just as seriously.
Speaker 1: But again, it'll be interesting to see what kind of
Speaker 1: campaign Peepoo to Jed runs. Yeah, exactly, that's what. The
Speaker 1: thing that is helping mainstream democrats get to sleep at
Speaker 1: night is Pete Boodha Judge is Pete Boota.
Speaker 2: Judge is great with facts, great on Fox News debate
Speaker 2: and again. And I think that's where I'm like, don't please,
Speaker 2: don't just get intoxicated by like pooning the Fox people,
Speaker 2: Like we need to be pooning the billionaires, Like seriously,
Speaker 2: Like that's really that's got to stay focused. And I
Speaker 2: love to fight the oligarchy tour, but if like we
Speaker 2: can't really have a fundamental agreement across the board on
Speaker 2: what which oligarchy we're fighting and in what way we're
Speaker 2: fighting it, Right, this is going to be it'll be
Speaker 2: a slow creep back again to the norm Yeah. Norm
Speaker 2: Norms love that guy from Cheers. Love him.
Speaker 1: My overrated is my ability to figure out where on
Speaker 1: the machine to tap my credit cards.
Speaker 2: Underneath sometimes some some times it's underneath. Sometimes it's like
Speaker 2: at the top.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's at a place that like you can't get
Speaker 1: the card to hit because there's like a thing in
Speaker 1: the way. I don't know, it's it's just there's no uniformity,
Speaker 1: and so I'm just like moving my card all over it.
Speaker 2: And person, hey, buddy, buddy, buddy, Yeah it's right here.
Speaker 2: Well they know, I just need to like a copperfield.
Speaker 2: When do you get that over here? Is this your card?
Speaker 2: I I feel like a complete fucking idiot every time
Speaker 2: because there's like just so many variables. It's like where
Speaker 2: are you tapping it?
Speaker 1: And so like I give up too soon on the
Speaker 1: right location because it's also not a tap, it's a hold,
Speaker 1: you know, And it's just I just need like some
Speaker 1: uniformity in the machines where I should just be like,
Speaker 1: all right, where do I tap? Just show me on
Speaker 1: the machine and they know they know their own machine.
Speaker 1: But instead I like try unsuccessfully like three times and
Speaker 1: then they're either like no, just like give it to me,
Speaker 1: or they're like insert the card, just like get this
Speaker 1: over with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, look, I'm just gonna I'm gonna have you
Speaker 2: insert this man, because you're you're struggling way too much
Speaker 2: for this man.
Speaker 1: They were not all meant to be tappers.
Speaker 2: It's cool. Look I didn't just looking at you your age.
Speaker 2: You seem like an insert, not a taper. It's definitely
Speaker 2: makes me feel like a sniper. I had a young
Speaker 2: person at ice cream shop. Yeah, I had a young
Speaker 2: man at the ice cream shop that I was paying with.
Speaker 1: He like told he was like, no, tap it the
Speaker 1: other way. So I was tapping it with the whole
Speaker 1: other side of the card that I've never tapped with before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one usually chip in it. Yeah, you're you're
Speaker 2: leading with the chip end. That's what I was this time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: leading with you normally lead with the chip in the
Speaker 2: other side has the little thing on it. Oh my god. Yes,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I don't even know either, yea.
Speaker 2: To be honest, that's why I shout out to anybody
Speaker 2: who works a register and knows their POS system is
Speaker 2: a literal POS system, and they're like, you're They'll even
Speaker 2: tell you, like, you got to put it right here,
Speaker 2: I know, just just right here, right here on the back.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's I'm already in a panic by the time we
Speaker 1: get to that point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're looking at like the Jordan Peele sweating gift,
Speaker 2: Like when you pull up it's all right, it's okay. No, no, No,
Speaker 2: it's okay, Okay, God, sorry, you're sweating all over the
Speaker 2: pos terminal.
Speaker 1: Hands shaking uncontrollably. All right, those are some of.
Speaker 2: The things that we think is over it and under it.
Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break and then we're
Speaker 2: gonna come back and tell you what was trending over
Speaker 2: the weekend. We'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1: And I mean, so Donald Trump had had a weekend.
Speaker 2: Uh you know, we were talking last week about how
Speaker 2: his approval ratings are incredibly low, not as low as
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party, but like still the lowest that any
Speaker 2: president has ever had.
Speaker 1: One hundred days into his termling. Yeah, since the dawn
Speaker 1: of polling. He is not the dawn of polling. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that. That day one, he's yeah, so he's struggling.
Speaker 1: And then this weekend, uh, you know, he doubled down
Speaker 1: on the pope thing by sending out a AI slop
Speaker 1: meme of him dressed as the next Pope, like with
Speaker 1: pope stuff on, which, like it is a fit, you know, esthetically,
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump being so into like gold and all
Speaker 1: the ship that he's into.
Speaker 2: It is a fit.
Speaker 1: There's something about it that actually it makes someone.
Speaker 2: Who is enriching themselves from slave labor in the New World.
Speaker 1: Like everything's gold embossed and you know, uh the hat
Speaker 1: like that. I can see him wearing some of that shit.
Speaker 1: I can see him starting to like rock a gold scepter.
Speaker 2: You think his mental hat, like health declines, the mental
Speaker 2: state declines, He's gonna start being like, where's my pope hat? Yes,
Speaker 2: sure we're not. We can't wear a pope What ye
Speaker 2: hear about?
Speaker 1: How Like, as you age, it's not like the bad
Speaker 1: parts of your personality get fixed. It's like you become
Speaker 1: more the thing you are. It's just like all the stuff.
Speaker 2: That is you're unable to hide it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just like gets the volume gets turned up
Speaker 1: on your personality disorder, and I feel I feel like.
Speaker 2: That would be showed up. He's like, I want to
Speaker 2: look like Donna Tello from the Ninja Turtles to Katanas
Speaker 2: on my back in an X shape. Let's go.
Speaker 1: But anyways, people some people thought it was disrespectful.
Speaker 2: I don't know what their problem is.
Speaker 1: I would say, let's let him be pope. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't be president and pope at the same time,
Speaker 1: so maybe just let him be pope. And he probably
Speaker 1: gets to like make little papal decrees from his desk.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's ultimately like he would take that.
Speaker 2: You know. I think he'd hate hanging out with a
Speaker 2: bunch of cardinals though. That's true. Yeah, like, because they're
Speaker 2: all going to be like, what, dude, what is this
Speaker 2: guy saying? He's like, none of them laugh, They're all
Speaker 2: They're all They're all dorks, all the cardinals. I don't
Speaker 2: like them. I don't like them. He also posted on
Speaker 2: Sunday for May the Fourth Be with You, they posted
Speaker 2: a Star Wars AI image where he was a fucking
Speaker 2: sith lord. Did you see that one?
Speaker 1: No, like Dark Brandon on on.
Speaker 2: Our Oh yeah, I mean like a lot of people
Speaker 2: are like, do you know what they're red saber means.
Speaker 1: Yo. The image first of all is Donald Trump holding
Speaker 1: a red lightsaber, but then he's just so shredded.
Speaker 2: It's he's fucking he nacked O'Brien over, thank you?
Speaker 1: Why is he so strong? Nobody in the Star Wars
Speaker 1: universe has ever been that strong.
Speaker 2: No, maybe like in some of the the expanded Universe stuff,
Speaker 2: but holy anyway, So that's he's having a lot of
Speaker 2: fun with Ai I wonder what that whole thing is.
Speaker 2: When Sheltmand shows him, he goes, when did I take that?
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, I remember when my arms looked like that.
Speaker 2: I was a young man. This is just.
Speaker 1: Matching year old's face, matching the his internal image of himself.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, the Catholic Church probably regretting their decision to put
Speaker 1: him in the front row at the po at the
Speaker 1: Pope's funeral. Right before that, he made headlines for preemptively
Speaker 1: ruining Christmas, a great, a great New York Post headline,
Speaker 1: one of the greats that they've come up with during
Speaker 1: this administration. But yeah, so, toy companies are sounding the
Speaker 1: alarm that tariffs would mean eighty percent of the toys
Speaker 1: will be twice as expensive this Christmas. Eighty percent of
Speaker 1: the toys will cost twice as much as they did
Speaker 1: last year, and there will be toy shortages, which, as
Speaker 1: we've covered frequently on this show, that is one of
Speaker 1: those stories that even when it's not true, and it
Speaker 1: never has been up to this point, the media will
Speaker 1: find a way.
Speaker 2: To freak out about it.
Speaker 1: So this is a story that they will just make up,
Speaker 1: whether it's true or not, so to actually make it
Speaker 1: so Christmas is canceled because there's a toy shortage is
Speaker 1: a really mind boggling own goal.
Speaker 2: In this part they just said, I mean, like the
Speaker 2: other thing they were saying was fireworks also huge it
Speaker 2: comes from so fourth of July could be real shitty,
Speaker 2: or people I guess will just blow themselves up with
Speaker 2: their homemade fireworks. Or and then now because they say,
Speaker 2: it's not just the toys, it's the decorations too, like
Speaker 2: all the cheap, all the cheap, yeah, is now going
Speaker 2: to cost a lot of money and.
Speaker 1: It's gonna hit Yeah, but you know what, it's only
Speaker 1: gonna hit those greedy, fat cat children and fireworks enthusiasts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know they've had it too good for too long.
Speaker 1: Exactly children at Christmas. We see how the Democrats managed
Speaker 1: to fuck this up, because it's seems like a pretty
Speaker 1: easy lamp that like he's enriching his you know, billionaire
Speaker 1: friends at the cost of children being able to have
Speaker 1: toys for Christmas.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you don't need thirty dollars jack, Yeah, so
Speaker 2: that his response was kids should just get less toys,
Speaker 2: like maybe two instead of thirty dollars. Hmm. So it's familiar.
Speaker 2: You'd never ask his own kids to put up with that,
Speaker 2: or you know, the kids of Again, this is just
Speaker 2: children who aren't written like rich children will still get
Speaker 2: the thirty dollars. So yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, just again
Speaker 2: like a thing that it feels like such a layup
Speaker 2: for the Democrats to just point out. But The New
Speaker 2: York Post responded to that statement by going full blast
Speaker 2: front page picture of Barbie next to Trump with the
Speaker 2: words skimp on the Barbie. Ah right, Bobby, I mean right,
Speaker 2: A little poetic allusion to the Australian election happening at
Speaker 2: Barbie is that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why they have a barbie that
Speaker 1: looks just.
Speaker 2: Like it's like, doesn't even look special. It looks like
Speaker 2: an eighties like something you found in the Yeah, it
Speaker 2: really looks it looks like the Yeah, it looks like
Speaker 2: the barbie that's been at the bottom of the toy
Speaker 2: chest of a preschool, you know, just like I worked
Speaker 2: over and it was given a haircut with children's scissors.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, with with fucking I don't even know if yeah,
Speaker 2: like plastic those safety scissors. Yeah yeah, But also it
Speaker 2: was so far below in the measured in the toy
Speaker 2: chest that it's like from the eighties because as like
Speaker 2: a denim vest it looks like a mini skirt, mini
Speaker 2: dress like Barbie or something a lot less the fuck
Speaker 2: is anyway, whatever New York posts that was probably the
Speaker 2: the you know, the royalty free image you use good.
Speaker 2: I love it, good for you, but you know, a
Speaker 2: Republican polster said it sounded like Marie Antoinette saying let
Speaker 2: them eat cake. I mean that was more to do
Speaker 2: with food. But yeah, I get, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 2: It's pretty out of.
Speaker 1: Touch, pretty out of touch, pretty you know, why should
Speaker 1: the children?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: He we've seen his attempts to interact with children around
Speaker 1: the thing, around subjects like Christmas Joy, where he was like,
Speaker 1: and what are your thoughts on the Santa situation? You're
Speaker 1: at an age demographic where that appeals to you.
Speaker 2: Is that correct? So? And then the market for the
Speaker 2: affect your your toy buying decision. What I don't know,
Speaker 2: I like Elmo.
Speaker 1: And then in case there were any like movie lovers
Speaker 1: who aren't Catholic and don't have kids that were weren't
Speaker 1: angry yet On Sunday, he randomly announced that non American
Speaker 1: movies would receive a one hundred percent tariff.
Speaker 2: I think he means, like, you know, American movies that
Speaker 2: are made in other countries, I said, quote produced in
Speaker 2: foreign lands. He really is the pope, dude, like this
Speaker 2: is the fucking fifteenth century or some shit. Anything produced
Speaker 2: in far off lands will be so for many sees.
Speaker 2: They travel over many the long seven Seas. Exactly, if
Speaker 2: it took the Spice Road through the Orient to get here,
Speaker 2: then yes, it will be tarriffed. I don't how are
Speaker 2: you what are you tariffing? Exactly? The thing, the product
Speaker 2: that's distributed, films cost money, and that that we would
Speaker 2: tariff that. Miles oh Man.
Speaker 1: He said it's a national security threat, which is a
Speaker 1: weird way to describe m Night Shyamalan making trap in Toronto.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, another Shamalan movie. Maybe maybe a national
Speaker 2: secret I guess what he so in this weird in
Speaker 2: his senile brain, made in foreign land means that it's
Speaker 2: being shaped into anti American propaganda. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he said it's a concerted effort by other
Speaker 1: nations and therefore a national security threat. And in this case,
Speaker 1: it's concerted effort to like get movies to shoot in
Speaker 1: other countries. And so it's just it's just again like
Speaker 1: go against the idea of global free trade and towards
Speaker 1: the idea of like we'll protect America and make it
Speaker 1: so America can both be mediocre and still get all
Speaker 1: the business.
Speaker 2: Right. I mean, this is like another example where what
Speaker 2: he's saying isn't the fucking solution to any of this.
Speaker 2: You know, like you think about we know so many
Speaker 2: people in LA whose lives have been upended by the
Speaker 2: strikes and now just the just the film industry is
Speaker 2: dying in LA. That's undernowed very fast death. Said Donald
Speaker 2: Trump one time. I'm like, oh, you know, you've heard
Speaker 2: about that. You know that's say you Americ because it's
Speaker 2: like Ammie Fournia or whatever. But you know, one of
Speaker 2: the big reasons too, is that production costs are highly Like, well,
Speaker 2: it's so it costs so much money in LA because
Speaker 2: A you have to pay crew a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Why because their cost of living is so high in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. That's what's driving it. So then they go
Speaker 2: to other states and then the same thing plays out,
Speaker 2: and then they're like, well, we'll go to Canada. And
Speaker 2: now we'll go to Eastern Europe. But a lot of
Speaker 2: this has to do with the fact that just the
Speaker 2: inequalities that exist for the people that do the labor
Speaker 2: of making films has balloons costs, and without getting a
Speaker 2: real handle on that, it's easier for them to be like, ah, well,
Speaker 2: it's discussed. There are people who are just they're like
Speaker 2: shooting stuff in Eastern Europe that's like meant to be
Speaker 2: like somewhere in America now, or like we'll do like
Speaker 2: a like a reality show tell all episode where it's
Speaker 2: like it's easier to fly everybody to wherever Hungary and
Speaker 2: shoot than it is to crew up in New York
Speaker 2: to shoot on a sound stage, and you're like, wow,
Speaker 2: the way that this used to work.
Speaker 1: The reason that's not happening anymore is like those countries
Speaker 1: are able to offer huge you know, uh like amounts
Speaker 1: of money to the productions to get the things made there,
Speaker 1: to build a mini industry. New York LA like used
Speaker 1: to have those sorts of things. They used to have
Speaker 1: like tax breaks and things like that, and now they don't,
Speaker 1: like the government no longer gives you money for doing that,
Speaker 1: because everything.
Speaker 2: Is just saying she's you know it's coming back. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. But like I'm I'm still shocked
Speaker 2: to see how little work there is in LA And yeah,
Speaker 2: for people who work, especially if they're doing like physical
Speaker 2: crew like labor stuff like that, it's super fucked up.
Speaker 2: And I know I already know people who like work
Speaker 2: in post production. They've had to just leave out, like
Speaker 2: they're just done. They're like, would you be in LA Nothing? Yeah,
Speaker 2: truly nothing.
Speaker 1: The it does seem to be an overall like his
Speaker 1: internal philosophy I feel like is driven by him being
Speaker 1: a mediocre nepo baby you know where he's just like,
Speaker 1: we need to make it so that American businesses don't
Speaker 1: have to compete, you know with other Like, we just
Speaker 1: have to make it so that they're forced to so
Speaker 1: they have have an advantage over.
Speaker 2: Can I just get my dad to make them do it? Yeah? Exactly.
Speaker 2: It really is like he thinks that the ease at
Speaker 2: which he was able to accumulate money from coming from
Speaker 2: wealth is just how the world works. So he is
Speaker 2: solved as frictionless as his problems were. So like that
Speaker 2: time I killed my nanny, my dad just made it
Speaker 2: go away. You know, can't we do that allegedly? But
Speaker 2: that's the that's like his mentality was so many things.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, true.
Speaker 1: All right, out of the world of politics. Once again.
Speaker 2: Women are lying to us, myles I love just once again, dude,
Speaker 2: these females are lying to us. The males, thank you.
Speaker 1: There's this tweet where somebody tweeted a picture of himself
Speaker 1: and it was like, I, you know, did all the
Speaker 1: stuff that like Men's Health tells you to do, and
Speaker 1: here I am before and after, and like on the
Speaker 1: left he looks like a normal person and on the
Speaker 1: right he just like is like, you know, muscled and
Speaker 1: like very like kind of emaciated, and you know, looks
Speaker 1: like he could be on the cover of like a
Speaker 1: men's health thing, you know, like all all muscles are visible.
Speaker 2: And just to be an anglophile, that's all imerslimers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's like he was on like uh like the version,
Speaker 2: like the UK version of America's Got Talent, app okay,
Speaker 2: we got got like a singer. Yeah, and he uh
Speaker 2: so somebody posted and said do you think he looks
Speaker 2: better before or after? And then also are you male
Speaker 2: or female?
Speaker 1: And the men all thought he looked better after he
Speaker 1: it was it was the biggest portion of responses was
Speaker 1: men being like, it looks better after obviously, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about, right, like forty three twenty four percent,
Speaker 1: and then women thought he looked better before twenty seven
Speaker 1: percent compared to after seven percent, So like pretty huge margin.
Speaker 1: And somebody on Twitter responded to that poll and said,
Speaker 1: why are women lying about this?
Speaker 2: Like, what's the actual cause? Jesus Christ, I'm so frightened
Speaker 2: for this person. Why are they lying about this? Holy
Speaker 2: shit way to like, way to show everybody so publicly
Speaker 2: your worldview has just been shattered by a pole on
Speaker 2: Twitter again, women lie, yeah, but I don't know. It
Speaker 2: just feels like I see how the self reinforcing idea
Speaker 2: of like, well, this is what men think looks cool,
Speaker 2: and therefore it's the ideal would happen because men have
Speaker 2: been in charge of media for so long that like
Speaker 2: that's the male bodily archetype that men find. I guess
Speaker 2: it's like the that's the body that men find attractive, right,
Speaker 2: and that so that's the one that has on mainstream
Speaker 2: over again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's just been like boiled down to just
Speaker 1: one body type in everything, and there's the same.
Speaker 2: Thing that happens too, like when like there are like
Speaker 2: women in bikinis or whatever and like so you know,
Speaker 2: it's like not someone who looks like a model or
Speaker 2: whatever and people are like, yeah, that's hot, Like you
Speaker 2: think this is hot? What? No, what the heck dude?
Speaker 2: She has like body fact that's disgusting, and you're like,
Speaker 2: what do you does anyone live in the regular world?
Speaker 2: I mean this, this is so funny. I mean, like
Speaker 2: just to see. I was looking at some of the
Speaker 2: other replies and the way people are trying to rationalize
Speaker 2: again a that they still know better than the women
Speaker 2: who are telling them what they're attracted to is so
Speaker 2: strange to me, where it's it's like, nah, not gonna
Speaker 2: believe it. This person isn't real or this is fake.
Speaker 2: I don't I'm I will no longer consider this opinion
Speaker 2: from this person who I'm also trying to be attractive to.
Speaker 2: It's just very I'm I mean, yeah, just doubling down
Speaker 2: over and over.
Speaker 1: Nice trick me, But I have to put myself through
Speaker 1: pain to make you attracted to me? Right, Like what
Speaker 1: if what if you were just like kind of cool
Speaker 1: to hang out.
Speaker 2: With and yeah, man, I mean thought of me as
Speaker 2: a person. Aren't all these like blue check dudes on Twitter,
Speaker 2: Like aren't they in the pickup artistry too, because as
Speaker 2: somebody who dabbled, you know, when the economy was very
Speaker 2: low and my self esteem was also very low. Like
Speaker 2: in really reading the game, I mean not that it's
Speaker 2: like a manual, but like there's these pick up artists
Speaker 2: always talking about shit. It's like, dude, men are attracted
Speaker 2: to like they're attracted by what they see, women by
Speaker 2: what they hear, and like they use that as an
Speaker 2: to sort of begin like this is why you need
Speaker 2: to talk up like a woman or whatever, when really
Speaker 2: I think if you, if you distill that doubt, it's
Speaker 2: looks don't matter to women right right like they do
Speaker 2: to men. And if that's a truth that they're ingesting
Speaker 2: even from like through pick up artistry stuff, to think
Speaker 2: that it's it's like what the fuck?
Speaker 1: We run into a new generation where it's all just
Speaker 1: like grind set like optimization, and everybody wants to look like.
Speaker 2: Joe I said optim I said optimized to my therapist
Speaker 2: last week, and they were like they kind of flagged
Speaker 2: it to sort of be like what do you come
Speaker 2: back to them when you see optimized, Like do you
Speaker 2: see yourself as like a human or like a like
Speaker 2: a sort of a computer program or some kind of
Speaker 2: like machine that can be optim Like, how do you
Speaker 2: when you use that word? And I was like, oh, fuck,
Speaker 2: uh no, I merely said that to like in the
Speaker 2: context of like being more adventurous like that. I don't
Speaker 2: want to close myself up. I want to optimize my
Speaker 2: ability to experience adventure. Yeah, it's just so funny. They're like, okay,
Speaker 2: just making sure you're not on some like I am
Speaker 2: a machine. I must optimize, right, All right, let's take
Speaker 2: a quick break. Yeah, we'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back. And as mentioned earlier, Australia, like Canada, last week,
Speaker 2: just had an election. And first of all, judging from
Speaker 2: the photos that American outlets went with, Australians typically vote
Speaker 2: while wearing speedos and that's actually part of the process.
Speaker 2: You have to wear speedos. Yeah, there's just I saw
Speaker 2: I saw one of these headlines with like the dudes
Speaker 2: in the speedo at the polling place, and I was
Speaker 2: just like, oh, I didn't realize every fucking outlet had
Speaker 2: some form of the dudes in the speedos voting to
Speaker 2: be like Australian elections are happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of them even had swim caps on, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy had a boomerang in his pants.
Speaker 1: So these were actually all from the same polling station
Speaker 1: at a surf club. But you know it's it is sad.
Speaker 1: It is a great image. Yeah, guy's got guys caked
Speaker 1: ups of male attractiveness on Twitter, but he's stopped stopplying.
Speaker 1: This guy has love handles stopplying. This is the hottest
Speaker 1: shit you've ever seen. That guy should be the only
Speaker 1: vote that matters. Look at the definition on his delts.
Speaker 2: Uh. But yeah.
Speaker 1: The Labor Party and current Prime Minister Anthony Albanize staged
Speaker 1: a quote dramatic comeback against once resurgent Conservatives and people
Speaker 1: think it's because of the influence of one US President.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. That tracks.
Speaker 1: That's basically what just happened in Canada happened again in Australia.
Speaker 2: We were the we were the canary in the coal
Speaker 2: mine of Earth. But well, now will you listen? Now,
Speaker 2: will you listen to If you think that's bad, then
Speaker 2: do everything you can to prevent a right wing extremists
Speaker 2: to rise to power be resurgent rand.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the leader of the Conservative Liberal Party of Australia.
Speaker 1: So I'm just flagging this in case you get confused,
Speaker 1: because Conservatives are called liberals there because they're south of
Speaker 1: the equator exactly, and so I.
Speaker 2: Think that must be it.
Speaker 1: But he had previously called Trump a big thinker and
Speaker 1: praised the art of the deal after Trump suggested that
Speaker 1: the US should invade Gaza to you know, when he
Speaker 1: was talking about settling it and making it like Crusoe malls, you.
Speaker 2: Know, right right, yeah, Trump Gaza number one. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty wild how unpopular he is everywhere.
Speaker 2: And he's also like the dude in Canada he lost
Speaker 2: his seat too. Yeah, not only he lost his seat also, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because it's funny just how much like corporations, politicians are
Speaker 2: so similar, Like they just copy each other. Oh, you've
Speaker 2: do layoffs, all right, we're doing layoffs too. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: oh what are you doing? You just kind of kind
Speaker 2: of like let the freak who copies the other freak
Speaker 2: just do their thing. Okay, cool, cool, cool, We'll do
Speaker 2: the same. We'll do the same. We'll do the same.
Speaker 2: It's like just the amount of people who want to
Speaker 2: copy Trump's style, the amount of people on the other
Speaker 2: side of that end of the spectrum who were just like,
Speaker 2: let them freak everyone out. Okay, let's just play possum
Speaker 2: or oh, possum.
Speaker 1: However it's pronounced yeah, wherever you are. They had been
Speaker 1: leading in opinion polls in February, like, so it was
Speaker 1: that quick that it was like kind of assumed that
Speaker 1: the Conservatives were going to be part of this like
Speaker 1: Trump wave takeover across the world.
Speaker 2: And then everyone's like, whoa.
Speaker 1: This seems this seems kind of like they don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck they're doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like hold on, they're modeling themselves after the
Speaker 2: guy up in America who's stabbing people in their face,
Speaker 2: like allies even oh no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: And finally Marvel is back maybe, like I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's this is the exact same thinking of like, wow,
Speaker 2: the neo liberals pull it off again, are they right?
Speaker 2: So is thunder First of all, I just want to
Speaker 2: say I'm mad at Thunderbolts because there were no more
Speaker 2: fucking Sinners screenings in IMAX because a stupid ass Marvel
Speaker 2: everything and now everything with Thunderbolts. I was gonna go
Speaker 2: over the weekend just to see it on a regular screen,
Speaker 2: and my friend convinced me. He's like, if you really
Speaker 2: want to do it, wait for the re release on
Speaker 2: Imax so you can really in twenty five years. No, no,
Speaker 2: they said this month it's gonna be. I think once
Speaker 2: Thunderbolts phases out there, they'll bring Sinners back and I
Speaker 2: will be there anyway.
Speaker 1: But so you went to see Thunderbolts instead, and what
Speaker 1: do you think?
Speaker 2: Uh, didn't see it? Didn't see it? What didn't see it?
Speaker 2: You know how? You know? I'm with Marvel movies. It's
Speaker 2: there's too many, too many.
Speaker 1: Too many going on, like this one seems particularly I know.
Speaker 1: I saw it like there was good word of mouth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a good Julia Leui Dreyfus thing is very
Speaker 1: interesting to me, though I didn't like get any of
Speaker 1: that from the marketing. I didn't get that like she's
Speaker 1: in it and like just getting to be fun and
Speaker 1: be all Julie Leuis Dreyfus.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: But it made seventy six million dollars of the box office,
Speaker 1: which is being like pitched now in the media as
Speaker 1: a win even though it's like the second worst Marvel
Speaker 1: Cinematic Universe opening.
Speaker 2: That's I'm sane, bro, They're fucking try.
Speaker 1: They're just like, I don't know, we need a win
Speaker 1: for the industry. Okay, So it's less than like Captain
Speaker 1: America Brave New World, which came out earlier this year,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like already basically forgotten about and.
Speaker 2: Weren't people shitting on that too, like for how low
Speaker 2: it was, even though it was more than seventy or
Speaker 2: eighty eight million, I guess is what it made. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: It's just like it's not it's no longer cool or
Speaker 1: like interesting to shit on Marvel, you know. It's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's the default story is like Marvel is over,
Speaker 1: and this one actually has like some narrative momentum, and
Speaker 1: so people are like, like the Ringer article with Thunderbolts
Speaker 1: gives Marvel movies their momentum back for the first time
Speaker 1: in years. The Multiverse saga seems to be going somewhere.
Speaker 1: So that's not exactly like being like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it dominated at the box office, but again, it just didn't.
Speaker 1: It also just didn't like the I don't know with
Speaker 1: the marketing. I'm assuming they decided, like they're they're playing
Speaker 1: with scared money now, and so they like decided they
Speaker 1: needed to like be safe in the marketing. But like
Speaker 1: the marketing was like I don't know, it was completely
Speaker 1: indistinguishable to me, like who who the characters were, Like
Speaker 1: what the point of this was?
Speaker 2: Scared money exactly? Looking like JJ Reddick's coaching a game four? Right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't care if it ruins everything. Yeah, I'm mean
Speaker 2: it is. It is just funny to see, like when
Speaker 2: you compare it mathematic numerically to other openings. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: we don't. We're not. It's not back. And I don't
Speaker 2: want to hear that, especially when they were shitting on
Speaker 2: Sinners for making like you know, like you know, forty
Speaker 2: some million or whatever to be like, oh do a
Speaker 2: little bit. Oh and this this juggernaut thing. Don't look now,
Speaker 2: but Sinners is going to destroy the movie industry. Shut
Speaker 2: the fuck up, man, right, because I I feel like
Speaker 2: it's they are rooting for the old model of Hollywood,
Speaker 2: you know, to come back, and so everybody's like, well,
Speaker 2: we got to do this because we need wins for Hollywood. IP.
Speaker 2: It's all these people who just do not want to
Speaker 2: develop a new movie, Like they don't want to put
Speaker 2: money behind original ideas. They're just not ready for that.
Speaker 2: There's so many status quai. What's the what's what's the
Speaker 2: most what's the plural of status quo? Quote the status quo? Yeah,
Speaker 2: your status yesses were crazy. I think status quhi, status
Speaker 2: qui and status quosis is. I don't know what it
Speaker 2: is exactly, but if close feel way off based status
Speaker 2: statusies quo statuses qui, let's go with that. Yeah. But
Speaker 2: I mean, like just even again in the film industry,
Speaker 2: it's just like like to your point with this, they're
Speaker 2: praying that the thing of like is there something that
Speaker 2: already exists that we can just green light and not
Speaker 2: really take a swing on an original idea, Like they
Speaker 2: want this to happen.
Speaker 1: Inspired all the writers and gave all the power to
Speaker 1: the marketing team. So yeah, exactly, it's that's that's all
Speaker 1: they got.
Speaker 2: It is like how do we do asking? Yeah, people
Speaker 2: who are probably criminally habitual chat GPT users to start
Speaker 2: coming up with original ideas to to re energize the
Speaker 2: film market. Yeah. Good, idea what happened with the other
Speaker 2: big opening, because I remember on Friday we were talking about, like, oh,
Speaker 2: let's not forget about Rust opening this weekend. Rust that one.
Speaker 1: So that made slightly less money. That's gonna be slightly
Speaker 1: harder to uh spin as a win.
Speaker 2: It made twenty five thousand dollars twenty five thousand, twenty
Speaker 2: five thousand from one hundred and fifteen theaters. So did
Speaker 2: they do the thing at least like they did for
Speaker 2: Sound of Freedom and the other Jesus movie, like where
Speaker 2: they're not a boa.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like what church or like
Speaker 1: organization because like I'm assuming the NRA doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be involved in that shit.
Speaker 2: I don't even have money anymore.
Speaker 1: Like maybe just like the production team of his reality.
Speaker 2: Show, it just sucks man like it like what a
Speaker 2: cursed movie. Like it's like even the thing, like, even
Speaker 2: even though it's done and all the people that worked
Speaker 2: on it, it's still marred by the fucking killing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and just feels very accidental shooting that happened on the
Speaker 2: set of a movie about an accidental shooting. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: fucking crazy. Yeah, Anyway, it'll.
Speaker 1: Be interesting to see if Thunderbolt holds well or not.
Speaker 1: It's got an eighty eight percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but
Speaker 1: on the more specific Metacritic it's got a sixty eight.
Speaker 1: So you know, Rotten Tomatoes is like thumbs up or
Speaker 1: down well, and then you know, we'll give it a percentage,
Speaker 1: whereas Metacritic actually gives numeric scores, like if somebody gives
Speaker 1: it two and a half stars and Rotten Tomatoes like
Speaker 1: that's a thumbs up, that's a pass, you know.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's what Brian the editor just put
Speaker 2: a CLI out of contract said, spider bite incident, And
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the fuck was this? On the set
Speaker 2: of Rust, one of the crew members, like a pipe
Speaker 2: rigger lamp operator, got bit by a brown recluse and
Speaker 2: had to do like multiple surgeries to prevent amputation. So
Speaker 2: this thing has just been This is like Yodorovsky's Dune
Speaker 2: bro Jesus truly cursed. All right.
Speaker 1: Anyways, I'll be holding my review of Rust for a
Speaker 1: little while until I'll see it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought, you're like, it's under bargo. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: under embargo for now. All right. Those are some of
Speaker 2: the things that are trending on this Monday, May fifth,
