Speaker 1: Thanks everyone for bearing with us live TV ladies and germs.
Speaker 2: Am I right?
Speaker 1: That was a recreation? Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you of the Netflix Love is Blind reunion. It
Speaker 1: was Netflix's second live events. People were hype. According to
Speaker 1: the Internet, everybody was very excited.
Speaker 3: I mean I started watching the show because I was like,
Speaker 3: maybe I'll get it done in time, and then I
Speaker 3: realized how much. No, there was no way to do it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so Love is Blind.
Speaker 1: If you don't watch this dating show where couples don't
Speaker 1: get to see each other for a long time because
Speaker 1: they're stuck in a black mirror episode, like they're in
Speaker 1: these like pods. The first season was designed in a
Speaker 1: way that made it like seem futuristic, but not like
Speaker 1: now it looks terrifying. This one looks like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like very angular and red and maybe.
Speaker 3: Similar I think, well, I mean the pods. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: pods always existed in this I just feel like in
Speaker 3: the first it was one of those things where the
Speaker 3: first season felt pure, like they were trying to actually
Speaker 3: get people, like to fall in love just through a wall,
Speaker 3: and now it's like, who can we You're like, we're
Speaker 3: running a fucking syop on you on TV, or maybe
Speaker 3: you're running a syop on yourself on TV.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just got into the first episode because
Speaker 3: I can't miss the reality trash discourse.
Speaker 1: But of course I missed a chunk of it last night,
Speaker 1: and the discourse was all about where the fuck is
Speaker 1: my episode? Yeah? Well at eight o'clock Eastern Sunday night,
Speaker 1: and viewers only got error messages from the streamer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they just kept it real vague.
Speaker 3: I just like that Netflix catching strays like from Blockbuster,
Speaker 3: Like in their tweets though, like yeah, when they're like, hey,
Speaker 3: Love is ellipses late. It's like it's gonna be on
Speaker 3: in fifteen minutes. It was not going to Then Blockbuster
Speaker 3: hopped in apply says, remember renting VHS is from us,
Speaker 3: you could start it on time, no problem.
Speaker 1: This is what we got or this is what we get.
Speaker 1: This is what we get for turning our back on Blockbuster.
Speaker 3: Also, hey, Blockbuster, you had the chance to fucking buy
Speaker 3: Netflix and you laughed at.
Speaker 1: Them, so like twenty million dollars or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like in the ynamic of it all, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: y'all really had an opportunity to keep you know, to
Speaker 3: keep the blue Polo shirts on lock. But nope, nope, no, no. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But part of the reason people were annoyed is that
Speaker 1: Netflix kept promising that the show would still happen. At first,
Speaker 1: there were like fifteen minutes, just gonna be fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: and then you know, ninety minutes into the weight, they
Speaker 1: tweeted the people could catch it the next morning.
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, I love just adding fifteen minutes, about
Speaker 3: fifteen more minutes fifty That's like me the first time
Speaker 3: I tried to like cook a dinner for my parents
Speaker 3: when I thought I had it timed out and it
Speaker 3: was like fucking They were like, you know what, we
Speaker 3: can just we can just we can try again tomorrow.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be worth the weight. I'm not up on it.
Speaker 1: People who did see it said it was a reality
Speaker 1: show reunion episode with all all that.
Speaker 3: That entailed, all the trimmings, all the trimming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shootings are trending for multiple reasons. There's a shooting
Speaker 1: in Alabama at a sweet sixteen party and a sixteen
Speaker 1: year old black child was shot in the head through
Speaker 1: a door when he rang the doorbell at the wrong
Speaker 1: house when he went to pick up his siblings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the house.
Speaker 3: We're just like it's well, my god. Like even the
Speaker 3: governor in Alabama like they're like not mentioning guns right
Speaker 3: in the statement. It's like we are gonna we abhor
Speaker 3: violent crime in our state. And I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: It's like it is like one of those things like
Speaker 3: where like on the show we've talked to like how
Speaker 3: many have to happen in a row right where it's
Speaker 3: gonna be It'll be consistent enough because what that was
Speaker 3: like the hundred like almost one hundred and seventy shootings
Speaker 3: already this year now mass shootings, and you're like, how
Speaker 3: many you're gonna have to happen in a row where
Speaker 3: they can even there's even gonna be some kind of
Speaker 3: actual discussion about this, because now all we have is
Speaker 3: like Biden being like, Congress has to do something about this,
Speaker 3: and yeah, I don't know what do you want me
Speaker 3: to do?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: But yeah I don't.
Speaker 1: It's it's just and the responsibility in Congress is like
Speaker 1: spread out enough that they can all just kind of like, well,
Speaker 1: we're for votes.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, we're trying and then them and then you know,
Speaker 3: Diane finds saying like you know, she's like not even
Speaker 3: around right now because she's so elderly that they can't
Speaker 3: even confirm judges right now. It's a whole fucking thing.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's so grim man Like two of the
Speaker 3: kids that died at the sweet sixteen, like they're about
Speaker 3: to graduate, and it's like these are it's like fucking
Speaker 3: the like the purest form of tragedy of young people's
Speaker 3: lives being fucking ended in this preventable way. And then
Speaker 3: you have the absurdity and the fucking the nonsense come
Speaker 3: out of politicians like I mean, this is what we
Speaker 3: have an opportunity to have more armed cops places when,
Speaker 3: like we were saying in the last episode, just everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 3: our few episodes before, No, it was the one today,
Speaker 3: more guns equal more gun death. That's like the one
Speaker 3: thing you can guarantee. There's not like more guns equal
Speaker 3: fucking power rangers show up and stop the shootings. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think it has the same effect of salt, like
Speaker 3: on your food. Essentially, it's the same logic. It's like,
Speaker 3: you don't add more salt to make something less salty.
Speaker 1: But what I mean you don't know the secret of
Speaker 1: saltles actually, like you do to add more salt.
Speaker 3: And cigarettes because I would give you that because I
Speaker 3: know cigarette smokers. The taste buds are fucking gone sometimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah just fried.
Speaker 2: Just oh yeah.
Speaker 3: The homies who smoke, who like made food for me,
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh okay, like.
Speaker 1: They're just going to stand why Tabasco puts that little
Speaker 1: dropper thing on the lid, like you gotta dump that
Speaker 1: stuff on. I mean, come a bottle and a half
Speaker 1: to even taste your food.
Speaker 3: What's the war comedy movie with John Belushi's in nineteen
Speaker 3: forty four is that it's called Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of those years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like there's a scene where he's like trying
Speaker 3: to open a bottle of coke like in the cockpit
Speaker 3: and he's like bottle opener and he just breaks the
Speaker 3: neck off of the fucking coke bottle and then like
Speaker 3: drinks it like that. That's how I picture you put
Speaker 3: tabasco And like why do that? Just break the fucking
Speaker 3: neck off and just pour it and just empty it
Speaker 3: out onto my one egg.
Speaker 1: On my one remains.
Speaker 3: All that to say is there are enough bodies piled
Speaker 3: up to do something, but we're unable to break our
Speaker 3: fucking obsession with this shit, and it like freaks me.
Speaker 3: It just freaks me out more and more, especially now
Speaker 3: like being a parent too. Like before I'm like, man,
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, like she could go down. I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 3: Like it is what it is. But the more you
Speaker 3: like have those kinds of responsibilities, you really think like
Speaker 3: what the fuck am I doing?
Speaker 1: Like what the fuck can I even do to send
Speaker 1: my kids to school? And then like when they talked
Speaker 1: about like the bulletproof room in the classroom, I.
Speaker 3: Like that like turned into a corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like part of me was like, damn, we need
Speaker 1: to get those in our classroom, because that's where we're at.
Speaker 3: It's to the point where we like the debate is
Speaker 3: truly like we've become so nihilistic at the at the
Speaker 3: thought of doing something that like to our point is like,
Speaker 3: oh is that bulletproof? Okay, that might work because from
Speaker 3: what I've seen, they're gonna do fuck all about the guns.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back. And Frank Ocean was the
Speaker 1: headliner at Coachella third night. I had a feeling it
Speaker 1: was going to be controversial. It was first of all,
Speaker 1: the thing that pissed me off, and it's similar to
Speaker 1: the Netflix thing, is that they didn't post until the
Speaker 1: afternoon of that there wasn't going to be a live stream.
Speaker 1: That's not Frank Ocean's fault. I'm sure that was a
Speaker 1: long standing like there's contracts and shit involved. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure he didn't just like spring it on them that
Speaker 1: there wouldn't be a YouTube live stream. But I wanted
Speaker 1: to see it. You couldn't live stream it, so you
Speaker 1: just get like these minute and a half chunks of
Speaker 1: the performance on social media. Everything I saw or that
Speaker 1: was like described sounded like exactly what I would expect
Speaker 1: and hope for. But like the mainstream media is like
Speaker 1: that was it the worst concert ever? Friends?
Speaker 2: You know people were doing at the end.
Speaker 1: Because he just had to abruptly cut it off because
Speaker 1: like the curly yeah, the curfew rule, And he was like, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm being told like the curfew rule means that we
Speaker 1: have to cut the concert off so that that's the show.
Speaker 1: And I mean we get a toop more upset about that.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, man.
Speaker 3: I don't like being right about stuff like this. But
Speaker 3: remember I was like Coachella is gonna be a disaster.
Speaker 1: Yeah I said, you did say that.
Speaker 3: And it's it like the even like the grumblings of
Speaker 3: what happened, like there was supposed to be ice rink
Speaker 3: that like motherfuckers were going to skate on, and then
Speaker 3: like one of the sides of the story is that
Speaker 3: like an hour before, Frank was like, nah, I don't
Speaker 3: want this ship. Take it down right, And they're like
Speaker 3: we've been like this is the thing we've been setting
Speaker 3: up for months and it's like nah, nah, nah, I
Speaker 3: don't want it, and it's like you're you're supposed to.
Speaker 2: Go on in ten minutes. Yeah, and then that caused him.
Speaker 3: To be delayed. It just sounds fucking awful. I think,
Speaker 3: alongside the fact that you know, unless you I don't know,
Speaker 3: it just he just seems like one of those people
Speaker 3: that he's not always giving you the best live performances.
Speaker 3: Like he's just kind of like an artist that I
Speaker 3: think just he just needs to make his art outside
Speaker 3: of like the spectacle of live performances, because like when
Speaker 3: you listen to his music, you're like, this shit is
Speaker 3: fucking fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know live performances of his song
Speaker 1: it's not like dynamic. He's just wandering around stage, yeah
Speaker 1: like that, but they sound great and like the energy
Speaker 1: is there, and it's just like cool to see him
Speaker 1: do it live, which is like kind of what I
Speaker 1: would expect as a fan of Frank Oshan, Like I'm
Speaker 1: not expecting him to like go up and like be
Speaker 1: dancing around, you know, Like that not the energy I expect,
Speaker 1: and like it definitely delivers something. Is it something that
Speaker 1: is in line with like the public's expectation of like
Speaker 1: a Coachella headliner, like where Black Pink and Bad Buddy
Speaker 1: or the other headliners like definitely not but yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: He started playing shortly after eleven pm, opening abruptly with
Speaker 3: Nova King oh No Vocally. The addition was pitch perfect.
Speaker 3: The Ocean sat in the middle of the stage with
Speaker 3: his face hidden in a blue hoodie, his back partially
Speaker 3: turned toward the crowd. Most of the stage was covered
Speaker 3: by a massive screen, and fans only got a glimpse
Speaker 3: of the singer through camera angles of him performing behind it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: well cool. There were long silent pauses between songs like
Speaker 3: crack Rock and White Ferrari, with Ocean barely saying anything
Speaker 3: and keeping his interaction with the audience to a minimum.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well, well I'll tell you where I'm not going.
Speaker 1: Even though I didn't get to see this, I'm not
Speaker 1: taking a trip miles to Pinney City, which is trending
Speaker 1: to turn it honest, because one of my spiritual advisors,
Speaker 1: the CEO of Miller Knowle, had some things to say, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Like Miller Nole. I didn't know like what it. They're
Speaker 3: just like they make office furniture, that's like their thing.
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh okay, and the CEO is
Speaker 3: getting just served handfuls of smoke because she went on
Speaker 3: a zoom call basically yelling at her employees are like, yo,
Speaker 3: what happened our annual bonuses? Like that's kind of like
Speaker 3: factors into my income. And she's like, you guys need
Speaker 3: to get off this fucking bonus shit. Listen to her.
Speaker 3: Just come after her employees who are asking what happened
Speaker 3: to their bonuses when keep in mind her ass got
Speaker 3: a one point two million dollar bonus in the year before.
Speaker 3: But anyway, let's just check this. This like little slice
Speaker 3: of what it's like to work at Miller Nole. Oh wow.
Speaker 4: Talk to them, be kind and get after it. Don't
Speaker 4: ask about what are we going to do if you
Speaker 4: don't get a bonus? Get the day on twenty six
Speaker 4: million dollars. Spend your time and your effort thinking about
Speaker 4: the twenty six million dollars we need and not thinking
Speaker 4: about what are you gonna do if we don't get
Speaker 4: a bonus?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: Can I get some commitment for that? I would appreciate that.
Speaker 4: I had an old boss who said to me one time,
Speaker 4: you can visit Pity City, but you can't live there,
Speaker 4: so people leave pity sees. Let's get it done. Thank you,
Speaker 4: great day.
Speaker 3: Whoa, I have a great day. I love like when
Speaker 3: you see people continue these like patterns of terrible management,
Speaker 3: like where she's like, I had a boss tell me
Speaker 3: I don't fucking matter, Okay, And that's why I'm gonna
Speaker 3: tell y'all, y'all don't fucking matter. Focus on this twenty
Speaker 3: six million that we're trying to hit so I can
Speaker 3: get my mother fucking bonus, and then maybe we could
Speaker 3: talk about y'all bonus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, I'm gonna take the bonus first, and then
Speaker 1: you could maybe get.
Speaker 3: Well, see what's left, See what's fucking left. I don't
Speaker 3: know what's left. Maybe if y'all hit that twenty six million,
Speaker 3: we won't have to worry about it. But right now,
Speaker 3: y'all look like the mayor's of Pity City. And you
Speaker 3: know I'm Pity City, as we all know.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, everybody's blowing their money on avocado toast
Speaker 1: and the rent is too high. If you just moved
Speaker 1: to a more reasonable neighborhood, uh huh.
Speaker 3: Check making coffee. Make your own coffee. Make your own coffee, guys,
Speaker 3: thank you, your own avocados, mill your own grain, bake
Speaker 3: your own bread. What the fuck is going on? I
Speaker 3: can't fucking do this all the time.
Speaker 2: Have a great day.
Speaker 1: Fox is also trending the dominion lawsuit, which has given
Speaker 1: us so much good kind of behind the scenes details
Speaker 1: from these leaks of Tucker Carlson being like Trump is
Speaker 1: a disaster. What are we gonna do? Everybody? Everything he
Speaker 1: touches turns to shit, and all the powers that be
Speaker 1: at Fox just emitting like they didn't buy the like
Speaker 1: Trump stop the steel bullshit for a second, but then
Speaker 1: it was like that night they would still have an
Speaker 1: episode where they were piping it up.
Speaker 2: It's like, we can't what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 1: We just make the content. We don't have anything to
Speaker 1: do with what is in the content.
Speaker 2: We just just make it.
Speaker 3: We just decide what it is. Okay, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: What's the problem.
Speaker 1: So people were looking forward to this lawsuit, everybody except
Speaker 1: Fox was looking forward to it. And the judge just
Speaker 1: delayed the opening of the trial by a day. And
Speaker 1: people suspect that Fox is going hard for a settlement,
Speaker 1: and you know, Domingion is the other side. It's not
Speaker 1: like this is Fox v. Pro Public, this is Fox
Speaker 1: via another corporation, And so there there is a dollar
Speaker 1: figure that will make them say yes, yes, please Daddy,
Speaker 1: give me more. But it's just such a juicy opportunity,
Speaker 1: like I would love to.
Speaker 3: Oh to have fucking Rupert Murdoch. There have to say like, yeah, man,
Speaker 3: we lie.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Right, that's a lie. Yeah, and we didn't believe that.
Speaker 3: That's a lie. I'm gonna say that because I'm under oath,
Speaker 3: Like what the fuck? I don't think. I think that's
Speaker 3: the thing that they are absolutely trying to avoid by settling,
Speaker 3: because like they love to settle over a Fox. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they love a settlement. So yeah, I don't know. Well,
Speaker 3: we'll see, we'll see what happens there.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping, like you would think, Domingion knows how painful
Speaker 1: this would be for them, and therefore are holding out
Speaker 1: for a like crippling settlement, you know, like something they
Speaker 1: would just put Fox out of business because a trial
Speaker 1: could put them out of business.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're like, well here, if we keep going, h
Speaker 3: y'all looking like you pay this much? Anyone? Like so
Speaker 3: what the fuck? Because I know they're suing for one
Speaker 3: point six billion. Yeah, so I wonder what that how
Speaker 3: close that settlement gets to. I mean, it's not going
Speaker 3: to be a bill, but I don't know, maybe it was,
Speaker 3: who knows. It'll it'll definitely speak to how much Fox News,
Speaker 3: especially Rupert Murdoch, wants to avoid things coming to light
Speaker 3: in like, you know, court testimony regarding the business practices
Speaker 3: of Fox News and how they look at quote unquote news.
Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 1: And finally, the CIA has done their work to make
Speaker 1: the Cocaine Shark, the sequel to Cocaine Bear possible. There's
Speaker 1: a news story of a two ton load of cocaine
Speaker 1: that was scooped up by Italian police in the sea
Speaker 1: off eastern Sicily. So there was apparently just enough plastic
Speaker 1: wrapping to keep the cocaine from getting wet without weighing
Speaker 1: it down and possibly sinking. Oh that is good news.
Speaker 1: But I mean we have what we need here, Folks
Speaker 1: like this. Yeah, the Cocaine Shark movie is coming a.
Speaker 3: Cocaine dolphin, Like, I don't know, cocaine dolphin sounds more fun.
Speaker 1: Thing like cocaine and sea, where like the whole like
Speaker 1: an entire sea is.
Speaker 3: Just oh my god, revved up, really keyed up just
Speaker 3: talking about crypto all day.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Well, as we do every trending episode, we were just
Speaker 1: going to close this episode by thanking the CIA for
Speaker 1: doing that good work.
Speaker 3: Thank you for the good folks at Langley and Langley, Virginia.
Speaker 2: We love y'all, We love y'all.
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for us this afternoon. We are
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to y'all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye,
