00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Saturday

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Zight Fever. I am Jack and that short show title

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: is courtesy of Johnny Davis short show title Spice Sst. Spice,

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: as he is affectionately known, and I'm thrilled to be

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: joined by our writer, mister J. M mcnow. Hello. Thanks

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: for having me, Oh, thank you for being here, Jam.

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: What a time the oscars happened last night. We're all still,

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: you know, just getting over the mayhem. You know, the snubs,

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: the flubs. We'll talk tomorrow about the in memorium section,

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: leaving leaving out some big names. The big viral moment

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: didn't even happen during the ceremony, happing on the red carpet.

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: I did catch it live. It did cause me to

13
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: turn to my wife and exchange a look of concern.

14
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: What just happened? Why is this person behaving? Thus Lee

15
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: and I am talking, of course about Hugh Grant, who

16
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: was I think the technical term is an asshole on

17
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: the red carpet. So Ashley Graham was working the red

18
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: carpet interviewed Hugh Grant and it was just one of

19
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: those awkward you kind of get the sense that she

20
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: was told two minutes before that that's who she was interviewing.

21
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: These are chaotic events where you're just trying to grab

22
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: anyone famous who's walking by. She chose Hugh Grant and

23
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: to quote the old guy at the end of Indiana

24
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: Jones at the last Crusade, she chose unwisely. It did

25
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: not go well. So he described the event as a

26
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: vanity Fair. She thought he was referring to the Vanity

27
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: Fair after party, which is totally a totally acceptable misunderstanding

28
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: since that is there at the Oscars and that is

29
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: the main after party and it's the thing that people

30
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: are talking about. Oh yeah, for sure. But he took

31
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: that as an opportunity. She was like, oh yeah, the

32
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: Vanity Fair afterparty, Like great time, are you looking forward

33
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: to that type thing? And he took that as an

34
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to be like, uh, I'm dealing with a moron,

35
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and like she asked what he was wearing and he

36
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: said my suit, which is like that is a question.

37
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: You know you are going to be asked on the

38
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: red carpet. So yeah, after that point, all bets are off.

39
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny to give like funny answers, like

40
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: I remember I think it was like bobcat Goldthwaite went

41
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: with Robin Williams to an award show once and someone

42
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: asking him who he was wearing, and he said sears like, yeah,

43
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: that's funny. Fun my suit is a fine answer, but

44
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: he was giving nothing, like I don't know my tailor's name.

45
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: It was. It wasn't quite Billy Bob Thornton on that

46
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: Morning Zoo Talk interview where he's mad at the person

47
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: interviewing the whole time for acknowledging that he's an actor,

48
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: but it was bordering on the dark matter level energy

49
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: that Billy Bob Thornton gave off. It was just like

50
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: I have completely left my body and now you will

51
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: be forced to interview the husk of Hugh Grant. So

52
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: I would say, like, I agree with you. I think

53
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: he was being a dick with the whole my suit thing.

54
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: But then I think like she tried and you know,

55
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: to be fair, Like like I said, she was given nothing,

56
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: so she had to quickly pivot to a new quest

57
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: totally and she chose a bad player. Yeah yeah, which

58
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: is also again something I totally identify with. I had

59
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: what my first job out of school was being a

60
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Butler at the Soho House in New York City when

61
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: it had just opened up and they didn't know what

62
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: they were doing. First I was poolboy. Then I worked

63
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: my way up to Butler, which is basically a British

64
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: way of saying Matri d um or not Matri d uh.

65
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: What's the what's the person who works at the front

66
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: desk and like helps you with your bags and bellhop

67
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: occasional murderer um. And I had to make conversation with you, Grant,

68
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: and he really yeah, yeah, one time I helped him

69
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: to his room with his bags, and he has one

70
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: mode which is charmingly befuddled. And I'm glad that I

71
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: was not on national television having to be like, yeah,

72
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: so New York, huh, crazy weather. I had to actually

73
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: holding an umbrella over his head. That a lot was

74
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: made by his team of you know, protecting him from

75
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: the paparazzi, which I think was more of a problem

76
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: for him at that time. But he probably like tested

77
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: you with some old literary reference you got, so he's like, Okay,

78
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be nice to see you. I'll allow it. Um.

79
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: But anyways, she then said like, oh, it must have

80
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: been fun. To work on glass Onion, which you were on. Um.

81
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: Hell she also she was like, oh I love glass Onion.

82
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. It must have been so

83
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: much fun to make. Like right, but he'd seen it,

84
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't in it hardly. He's barely in

85
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: and so and that was what he told her. Well,

86
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm barely in it, I mean about three seconds. And

87
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 1: she was like all right, well and you can see

88
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: the earwig in her ear being like stretch, stretch, stretch,

89
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: and she's like anything else, also, what else? Like, I mean, yeah,

90
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: he could have made a joke out of it. He

91
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: could have been like, well, everyone else was having fun.

92
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: I opened a door, you know, something like that. Yeah,

93
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: you don't need to openly question whether she's seen the movie.

94
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: So anyways, and then he proceeded to, like, in the

95
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: actual awards ceremony, compare his face to a scrotum, which

96
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: is lovably self effacing. I just think, just stick with

97
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: the self effacing even when you're not on stage. Maybe

98
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: just I get it, Like the red carpet thing is

99
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: not great. It's not my cultural like the thing that

100
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: I am excited about. But it just felt like I

101
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: don't know, that's another human being up there with you. Yeah,

102
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: it's like she's just doing your job. Also, like, yeah,

103
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was. I mean, he was just

104
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: kind of a dick about it, like he didn't have

105
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: to be. But on the other hand, like you agreed

106
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: to be a prison there at the Oscars, you agreed

107
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: to walk the red carpet, Like there are certain hoops

108
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: you just kind of agree to jump through. If that's

109
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: the gig. Yeah, one of them is making shitty, dumb

110
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: small talk, yes, and interviews. So absolutely the other moments

111
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: that leapt out from the ninety fifth I believe Academy

112
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: Award Lady Gaga had this like wildly emotional performance of

113
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: the top Gun song and her preamble she said, I

114
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: wrote the song with my friend blood pop in my basement.

115
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: I thought she said blow pop. And I was reeling

116
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: from that point forward and didn't take much in. But

117
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: people seemed to be very taken with her performance, and

118
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, not necessarily taken, but just like the seriousness,

119
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: the gravity the preamble where she said, it's deeply personal

120
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: to me. We need a lot of love to walk

121
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: through this life, and we all need a hero sometimes

122
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: there's heroes all around us and assuming places, but you

123
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: might find that you can be your own hero, even

124
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: if you feel broken inside. And then here's the song

125
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: from top Gun. But yeah, it's like she kept talking

126
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: about how personal the song was, Like I saw top Gun.

127
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: I just assumed this song was about Tom Cruise, like

128
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: they came to you or like we need a new

129
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: power ballot about Tom Cruise's dick from the twenty first century. Yeah,

130
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: can you write something? That's what I assumed. But according

131
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: to her, this was this was she made it into art.

132
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, she came fully made up, like knew the

133
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: assignment for the Red Carpet looked amazing and all sorts

134
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: of Lady Gaga on the Red Carpet what you would expect,

135
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: just you know, amazing makeup and dress. And one photographer

136
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: was so blown away by her beauty that he fell

137
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: over and she even tried to help him up, which

138
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: was a nice little momentum. And then then it looked

139
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: like he kind of like gropture. Did you see that?

140
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, I did not, certainly, like I don't know

141
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: if it was an accident or not, but she certainly like, yeah,

142
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: the Red Carpet is an awkward place. Oh yeah, it

143
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: turns out but yeah. And then she showed up on

144
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: stage looking fully scrubbed of makeup, in a T shirt

145
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: and ripped jeans, and then appeared later on in the

146
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: ceremony I believe back in makeup, and her dress was

147
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: kind of an amazing magic trick that she pulled off.

148
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: She was it was like a superhero, but instead of

149
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: a superhero costume, she changed into like one of the

150
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: Sonic Youth band members would wear. Right. Yeah, but knew

151
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: the assignment had a very clear vision. I mean, she

152
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: sounded great, obviously, as always. The songs were actually some

153
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: of the most exciting. Usually, you know, the songs are

154
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: like songs no one cares about and it's a chore

155
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: to get through. But we had Lady Gaga and Rihanna

156
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: and David Byrne. And it's not Rihanna. It's Rihanna, which

157
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: I had read. No, you said it correctly, and I

158
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: assumed that people were saying it incorrectly last night. But

159
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: the pronunciation on that was something that I think I

160
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: believe I was getting wrong all along, and now I

161
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: know that it's Rhianna. Brendan Fraser one best actor gave

162
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: a extended metaphor whale based like nautical themed acceptance speech.

163
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, it just seemed overwhelmed by the moment, and

164
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: I appreciated the effort. So he opened it by saying

165
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: that only whales can swim at the depth of his

166
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: co star Hang Chow, and then ended the speech by

167
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: thanking his children and his best first mate, his partner

168
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: gene Ganne Moore Gene and then at the very end

169
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: he set it's time for me to sham move out

170
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: of here exactly. It was a strong commitment to the bit.

171
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: And then Jimmy Kimmel, I don't know sure, this was

172
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: my response to his overall performance. Yeah, l ron hubba hubba.

173
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: That worked for me. But I mean, yeah, I'm I'm

174
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: not a huge Jimmy Kimmel fan, but what sorry, But

175
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't dislike him. He's just like I mean,

176
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: I think that's why they picked him. He's a guy

177
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: most people are like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, the

178
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Benstein's money guy. Okay, sure we know who that is. Um,

179
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, Like, some things he did really

180
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: annoyed me. Some things he did I thought were funny.

181
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: He was mostly I guess his steady hand keeping things moving,

182
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: which is what they wanted. Yeah, knew the assignment. I

183
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: would say also for him, it's a corporate gig, you know,

184
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: like comedian to corporate gigs yea. And they're like, we

185
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: want you to understand that you are telling jokes to

186
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of C suite Bank of America, get employees,

187
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: and uh, just do do that and don't offend. And

188
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like he's the peak corporate gig comedian.

189
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: It feels like, yeah, yeah, totally that. I think that's

190
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: a good comparison. I mean, I thought the awards themselves

191
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: like we're pretty good but predictable, Like it seems like

192
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: everything that happened was pretty much predicted by all the

193
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: guild and right, yeah, it seems like kind of a

194
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: straight sporward. Yeah, there weren't really any surprises. But that

195
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: being said, like all the things, not all the things,

196
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: but a lot of things. I wanted to win one.

197
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: I feel like I have to shout out Sarah Pally

198
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: for winning for screenplay as a Canadian and Torontonian, we

199
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: love her. There you um and and like I said

200
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: on a last week's show, like everything everywhere, all at once.

201
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: It was it was the movie of the year and

202
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: definitely showed out at the Oscars, which was cool to see.

203
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be

204
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back. And apparently something happened with

205
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: a bank or something on Friday and the government's gonna

206
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was too busy focusing on like

207
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: what everybody was gonna wear for the Oscars. But there, Yeah,

208
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: So I skimmed this article for Hugh Grant's name and

209
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: it didn't appear once. So between noon Eastern time on

210
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: Friday up until six on Sunday, people were wondering if

211
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: the government was going to bail out this bank, Silicon

212
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: Valley Bank. That there was a run on the bank.

213
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: It failed, it was taken over by the government, and

214
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: people were wondering if the people whose money was uninsured

215
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: being held by the bank, we're going to be made

216
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: whole by the government. The government ultimately did what they

217
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: do and bailed out the people who lost their money.

218
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm not an economist, but this basically sounds like the

219
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: plot of It's a Wonderful Life, Right, am I wrong?

220
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: Bunch of well, I think the with corporations and corporations

221
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: and banks, basically the villains getting paid back. The Biden

222
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: administrations pushing back, saying that the bailout will not be

223
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: paid for by taxpayers. But ultimately, I don't know how

224
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: does that work. I don't know. I'm paying for it

225
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: with my own money. I'm serious, man, I'm serious. I'm

226
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: using that money I made appearing in Carmen San Diego

227
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six. Did you hear in Carmen San Diego. Yeah,

228
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: he had a cameo. He probably didn't get paid, and

229
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm sure PPS didn't pay that much,

230
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just wanted to drop that reference in

231
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: because he was he was like they called them up

232
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: for help looking for like one of those villains who

233
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: steals monuments. Wasn't that what always happened? Yeah? Again, I've

234
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: steered this story about complicated economic problems into a discussion

235
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: of who of, which is definitely much closer to what

236
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm qualified to talk about than complicated economic matters. But also,

237
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm just getting over COVID and all my family members

238
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: have COVID and who aren't sleeping and I'm trying to

239
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: look after them, So I'm extra dumb, Yeah, which brings

240
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: you right to the perfect level to be on this

241
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: show with me. They complete idiot. All right. The billionaire

242
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: bailout debate has begun. I think, don't bail out the

243
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: people who have all the money already, um with the

244
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: money given to you by taxpayers. But what do I know?

245
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: What I can speak about is the ongoing contract diversity

246
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: around boneless chicken wings. Buffalo Wild Wings is being sued

247
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: for using the phrase boneless chicken wings, and it's an

248
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: ongoing controversy. I kind of didn't understand it, but you

249
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: you helped clarify, and this, this Takeout article helped clarify

250
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: that it's all about. That's what I'm qualified to really

251
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: put it. Put things into perspective, and now I am

252
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: outraged about this issue. The argument is that a place

253
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: that sells chicken wings, then selling a product called boneless

254
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: chicken wings would lead you to believe that they are

255
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: the chicken wings product with the bone removed, right, it

256
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: is a different type of meat in the chicken wings.

257
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Then you would get in these chicken strips, and so

258
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: basically people are like just call them saucy nugs, or

259
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, call them chicken wing, sauce strips, whatever the fuck,

260
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: but it is. I can see how it's misleading. I

261
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: do greatly prefer chicken wing meat to boneless chicken wing

262
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: aka chicken tender meat. If this goes to trial, with

263
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: the journey go all the way to the top the

264
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, Yeah yes, but I feel like their defense

265
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: could be the descriptor wild These aren't just regular wings,

266
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: these are wild wings. It's like a wild card, you know,

267
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: like this could be anything. Yeah, right, no idea what

268
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get when you when you sign on to

269
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: the wild when you walk through that door, you're you're

270
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: acknowledging that might be a fried pickle in there. We're

271
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: wild card. Um. But yeah, So the plaintiff claims the

272
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: name boneless wings leads customers believe that the product is

273
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: simply the meat of a debone chicken wing rather than

274
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: what they actually are, which is slices of chicken breast

275
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: meat deep fried like wings. But I don't. He claims

276
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: that this is causing him caused him financial injury. So

277
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: would this just be a series of like nine eighty

278
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: five payouts from Buffalo Wild Wings to anybody who can

279
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: prove that they've purchased boneless wings, which I mean, how

280
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: far did he have to drive to get there? There's

281
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: the gas, that's true point, and there's usually don't they

282
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: usually throw an emotional distress. Well, it kind of seems

283
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: like because there's that guy the same. The article also

284
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: mentions that guy in twenty twenty who went viral for

285
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: talking about this in a city council meeting and how

286
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: he was offered like was it a year's worth of

287
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: chicken wings, right or something? He got some kind of

288
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: dumb like, oh, let's give this viral guy something in

289
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: a speech that seemed like it was specifically written to

290
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: go viral. Yeah, it was like it and it was

291
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: I remember this this popping up on the end or

292
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: because it was like right smack in the middle of COVID,

293
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: like it was schools just kind of reopened. In twenty twenty,

294
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: it was still like nothing. Everything had kind of ground

295
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 1: to a halt, and this guy was like, I'm going

296
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: to use this opportunity to go to this like mostly

297
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: empty city council meeting and do this like pre written

298
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: bit chicken wings. Right. But it kind of seems like

299
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: now this guy probably saw that and was like, well

300
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: if I do something similar, maybe I'll get some some

301
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: free chicken wings out of the Yeah. The plaintive also

302
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: cites the fact that Papa John's calls it its version

303
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: Chicken Poppers instead of boneless Chicken Wings. Dominoes calls its

304
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: version Specialty Chicken. So it seems like there is some

305
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: thought in the corporate because boneless wings is definitely a

306
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: better title. But it feels like people are like, they're
