Speaker 1: So, but Brian, do you do you recommend Flight Risk?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny just you showing me that clip.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of want to know more, but I also
Speaker 1: feel like I saw the best part, like you just know.
Speaker 2: No, there's there's more.
Speaker 3: But the thing about Flight Risk is it's a lean
Speaker 3: ninety and it's so stupid.
Speaker 2: That it wies by pardon like twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anything where I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3: It is hour thirty, Okay, I can do this, Like
Speaker 3: I rarely shut off a ninety minute movie.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, That's why I like I watched like
Speaker 2: Hallmark Christmas movie because they're like an hour and fifteen, but.
Speaker 3: It's too short and it's too dumb to be like
Speaker 3: too offended by it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: I did not know that it was a screwball con
Speaker 4: like I guess I kind of had the sense that
Speaker 4: it was a slapstick comedy from his hair falling off,
Speaker 4: but like the way way trailers pitched, it was, yeah,
Speaker 4: that it was just a thing like that, that it
Speaker 4: was a thriller and it's not straight up a dude
Speaker 4: just style violence comedy.
Speaker 2: I did not think there would be a titty twister.
Speaker 3: The titty Twister killed them, Like, what do you think.
Speaker 2: Of our lord whatever world we are in now that
Speaker 2: we're doing? All right, titty twister.
Speaker 4: As he reveals that he doesn't get paid to be
Speaker 4: a hit man, he just does it for free, for
Speaker 4: the free opportunity to give people titty twisters.
Speaker 2: And I'm wondering if that line was I can't tell
Speaker 2: if that was improved.
Speaker 3: I can't tell if the tns twister line was improved.
Speaker 2: Twister in the script, because it's hard for me to
Speaker 2: imagine that being in a script. It's so stupid. All right, ye,
Speaker 2: sitty twister.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't see it come during the UH during
Speaker 4: the Flight Risk Best Original Screenplay montage, Like they didn't
Speaker 4: show that part, so it was hard.
Speaker 2: I can't picture that table read at all.
Speaker 4: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Monday morning week
Speaker 4: trend edition of Daily Yes Yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Da or da da da.
Speaker 1: Yes, because we are I don't know if you saw
Speaker 1: there's thing at the Kremlin news like now that Russia
Speaker 1: and the United States foreign policy goals have aligned, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, what a way to put that? Yeah, okay, anyway.
Speaker 4: Just gravitationally, it just happened as a matter of course,
Speaker 4: there is nothing offward or pushy happening. Yeah, sometimes weird
Speaker 4: you know, no weird jerking of the steering wheel to
Speaker 4: one side that doesn't really make sense for any reason
Speaker 4: that anybody can tell.
Speaker 1: I think it's like, yeah, Republicans will be like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, broken clocks right twice a day. That's kind
Speaker 1: of the overlap you're seeing versus now. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: the watch is said to the exact same time, like
Speaker 1: at the everything it's the witch actually the same.
Speaker 2: It's they're not broken.
Speaker 4: They actually don't need watches because he just tells us
Speaker 4: what time it is. You just call him and he tells.
Speaker 1: Like metaphorically, he's like, oh, what's up home, you know
Speaker 1: what time it is? Like Vladimir I do.
Speaker 2: Putin does say that all the time. What's up, homie?
Speaker 2: You know, you know what time it is? Jack that
Speaker 2: over there is Miles.
Speaker 4: And this is the episode where we tell you all
Speaker 4: the things that we're trending from Friday through Monday morning.
Speaker 2: But first we like to get to know you a
Speaker 2: little bit better.
Speaker 4: Let you get to know us a little bit better
Speaker 4: by telling you stuff we think is underrated, stuff we
Speaker 4: think is overrated. We like to ask our guests throughout
Speaker 4: the week what they think is underrated overrated?
Speaker 2: This is where we get a chance saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and you know what, I'm just going to
Speaker 4: go through all the overrated and underrated from our guests
Speaker 4: from the past week and talk about why they're wrong. Now, Miles,
Speaker 4: what is something you think is under rated?
Speaker 2: Oh? Man?
Speaker 1: Couple things first. One pretty obviously, but not price gouging.
Speaker 1: Huh pretty, I think a pretty solid business model or
Speaker 1: just you know, for if we live like in a
Speaker 1: time where everyone's like, what a consumer goodwill?
Speaker 2: What do we have consumer confidence? Yeah? Stop just fucking
Speaker 2: over charging people. I say this because I went to
Speaker 2: this Japanese market in La I bought a dozen organic eggs.
Speaker 2: You know how much? I got a dozen organic eggs
Speaker 2: for at least.
Speaker 1: Forty five dollars five ninety nine What five dollars ninety
Speaker 1: nine cents is what I walked out of this Japanese mark.
Speaker 2: Weird because you're telling.
Speaker 4: The story like it just happened and not like it
Speaker 4: happened in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah. When I when I.
Speaker 1: Were twelve years old, when I was no, I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I thought I was fucking stealing something. When I saw that,
Speaker 1: I was like, no.
Speaker 2: Bro, did they did?
Speaker 1: They fucking fuck up their handwriting? And then I asked
Speaker 1: one of the people, I said, it's five ninety nine.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, just just you can only take pick
Speaker 1: up the hand.
Speaker 2: I put it.
Speaker 1: I was so fucked up, like you know, like you're
Speaker 1: just so conditioned as a consumed like yeah, they're fucking
Speaker 1: me again that you see it, and then you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm not being fucked or I'm being fucked gently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. So anyway, that was such a thing.
Speaker 1: And then like I told everybody's like, yo, you need
Speaker 1: to get down to the Nigia market over here. I
Speaker 1: saw tell bro they got a fucking they got the
Speaker 1: ships for five ninety nine. So that was fantastic. The
Speaker 1: other thing I'll say underrated a petty knife. Petty knife
Speaker 1: is a small sort of like a small knife you'd use,
Speaker 1: much smaller than like your kitchen knife. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: a pairing knife basically, it's like a utility knife. But
Speaker 1: it so I recently, my cousin got back from Japan
Speaker 1: and you know, my house.
Speaker 2: Burned down, so I lost I lost all my knives.
Speaker 1: And I had a couple of Japanese concept I was
Speaker 1: very like, very connected to. He like replaced all my
Speaker 1: knives for me. It was very very sweet, and but
Speaker 1: I got like a new petty knife. This shit is
Speaker 1: so fucking sharp that I'm like using I'm like using
Speaker 1: it more than like my traditional kitchen knife because it
Speaker 1: just you get such control with it. I'm peeling fucking
Speaker 1: fruit for the geist child, I'm peeling for everything. I'm
Speaker 1: cutting cheese, I'm deboning fucking chicken. Anyway, it's very nice.
Speaker 1: I think all that to say, it's probably just a
Speaker 1: sharp ass knife really is the best thing.
Speaker 2: But a petty knife is great because it's easy to control.
Speaker 1: Small sharp, small sharp, best cheese knife you could use.
Speaker 2: It's just so fucking solid.
Speaker 1: So you know, I just want to say, people at
Speaker 1: the very least are we talking on that blade like
Speaker 1: finger were talking like four and like five inches five inches.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like a fox cut or no, no, no no,
Speaker 2: but it's enough that it's like if someone said, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna chop this like cabbage up you like with
Speaker 2: this fucking tiny thing, Like.
Speaker 1: No, but if you're like, hey, I'm gonna slice a
Speaker 1: tomato or whatever, cut stuff up smaller, perfect, perfect.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it.
Speaker 4: I'm just picturing John Boyce's character from Anaconda coming in
Speaker 4: and be like, I'll cut you up real nice.
Speaker 2: They don't buy.
Speaker 4: And I can do that machine because he's doing Yeah
Speaker 4: it's John.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're doing a white guy doing doing. We don't
Speaker 2: even know that. Yeah, yeah, exactly, I can do Radagan.
Speaker 2: We have these specific white people that act as conduits
Speaker 2: to do a problematic without being problematic. That's right, all right?
Speaker 4: Uh, my underrated is wind?
Speaker 2: Just by me.
Speaker 4: I've never once h checked the weather report for wind. Uh,
Speaker 4: and then it just uh well, first of all, did
Speaker 4: just burn down entire chunks of Los Angeles earlier this year.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you heard about that, Miles Wins
Speaker 4: while you were out for some reason.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know what you were up to, bros.
Speaker 2: Missed the crazy news story.
Speaker 4: But and then even then, like people had a hard
Speaker 4: time blaming the wind, like Henry Winkler and Whitney Cummings
Speaker 4: had to make up an arsonist god the wind.
Speaker 2: I just think I was Whitney Cummings anyway, but God,
Speaker 2: damn Phonsie. Unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for you. I know, we're all for you, Phonsie.
Speaker 4: Hopefully he comes back. Hopefully he's like, sorry, guys, that
Speaker 4: got away.
Speaker 2: That's what that's what millions do to you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just like, you know, he's with a bunch
Speaker 4: of people in the Palisades probably who lost their you know,
Speaker 4: five million dollar homes and is uh they have theories.
Speaker 1: I lost my only home in the Palisades. I have
Speaker 1: five in the state, but Palisades home is my own.
Speaker 2: I lost my Palisades home. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think it's like but I think I suffer from
Speaker 4: the same thing where wind is just hard for me
Speaker 4: to plan for. I'm just like never expecting it. I'm
Speaker 4: never checking for it. Suddenly the air is like twenty
Speaker 4: degrees colder than I was expecting it to be. My
Speaker 4: kids are shivering, my hat is flying away.
Speaker 1: Your two pay is blowing off like it always blows away,
Speaker 1: which is kind of fun. Yeah, I do like the
Speaker 1: comedic yeah, facing after.
Speaker 2: It down the street.
Speaker 4: Also, I'm gonna say, I don't know, I'm assuming it's
Speaker 4: hard to add like fake wind in a movie. Maybe not,
Speaker 4: but like I feel like it should be used more often.
Speaker 4: It's a great atmospheric Like movies love to use the
Speaker 4: rain to set a mood. But like there's this movie
Speaker 4: Volvaire that I think is the one that Penelope Cruise
Speaker 4: won an oscar for.
Speaker 2: But it like takes place in a a.
Speaker 4: Constantly windy town and it like just has these like
Speaker 4: poetic meditations on like the wind, like legends that like
Speaker 4: the wind drives you mad when you live there, and
Speaker 4: there's just this like constant sound and movement and it's
Speaker 4: just like a constant ghost howling down the streets of
Speaker 4: your town. Yeah and then uh and yeah, then it
Speaker 4: just starts. It causes things to just start flying around
Speaker 4: that never flew around before. It's like someone just comes
Speaker 4: along and shakes your city like a snow globe, and
Speaker 4: then you get to like pick everything up. Earthquake last night, Yeah,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, speaking of getting shook in like a fucking
Speaker 4: snow globe.
Speaker 2: There's just like one big shake. It was like it dropped.
Speaker 2: It was one of those droppers where yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 2: then a little Rocky the at the center North Hollywood, California,
Speaker 2: Baby yeah, coming for you. Man. It's I know, part
Speaker 2: of me was like, what the fuck.
Speaker 4: Leave me alone, me alone, mileshows what you think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Overrated.
Speaker 1: This ties into the Oscars, but the old way of
Speaker 1: presenting like awards, traditional awards show presentation, like when presenters.
Speaker 2: Go up to give out the award.
Speaker 1: This is like one thing that I really liked about
Speaker 1: the Oscars was the way they like personalized the presenters
Speaker 1: connections to the nominees.
Speaker 2: Was like oh yeah with Robert Downey Junior.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or just like even when like the costume when
Speaker 1: it was time for costume design, each person that was
Speaker 1: in the film sort of like was giving their flowers
Speaker 1: to the person that like design the costumes or like
Speaker 1: other people just giving it up to like other direct
Speaker 1: you know, like it was just it felt like so
Speaker 1: much better than just sort of like the art of
Speaker 1: editing is known as a block and like there still
Speaker 1: was some of that, but to have like then sort
Speaker 1: of couple that with people saying like I was so
Speaker 1: great to work with you, like your dedication, it just
Speaker 1: gives it a nice personal touch that it feels almost
Speaker 1: like oh shit, like yeah, cool, you're It's nice to
Speaker 1: see other people acknowledge their contribution even before an award
Speaker 1: is given. I think that was just a very nice
Speaker 1: touch to it because it it almost came off genuine
Speaker 1: and I am off like their people, celebrities, their people too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, cool, this made it a
Speaker 1: little more interesting because like you're just kind of you
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 2: Build the skill of.
Speaker 1: Tuning out like this sort of kind of like very
Speaker 1: dry boiler plate kind of like and now.
Speaker 2: To give the award, here are the nominees.
Speaker 1: Part you're just kind of like you just basically black
Speaker 1: out until they open the envelope to announce it, right,
Speaker 1: Whereas this one gave you a little bit more of
Speaker 1: a reason to listen.
Speaker 2: So I thought, you know what, that's good, nice touch.
Speaker 2: I'll give you that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then the ones that weren't that I felt like,
Speaker 4: yeah by comparison because like I can't read the prompter.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, like it was great one.
Speaker 1: It's like and now Andrew Garfield will go up to
Speaker 1: like just give his flowers to a sort of confused
Speaker 1: Goldie Hawn, who wasn't sure that this was like her.
Speaker 2: Moment she was. She was like being so humble. She
Speaker 2: was like, oh, thank you, honey, Well let's keep this movie.
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I have more yeah, yeah, And she
Speaker 1: was like oh okay again, Like I felt like that
Speaker 1: was the overall theme that was like emphasizing the humanity
Speaker 1: of people, like, hey were people.
Speaker 4: You know, my mom loved you, she was you were
Speaker 4: part of her. My mom was really into you because
Speaker 4: you know old and anyways, I know, you love hearing
Speaker 4: stuff like that.
Speaker 1: The whole Goldie Han thing made me think about how
Speaker 1: like I used to just watch like all these like
Speaker 1: retrospective TV shows, Like I remember I knew Goldiehans and movies,
Speaker 1: and then I, like, as a twelve year old, found
Speaker 1: out about Laughing and like she had this whole comedic
Speaker 1: career and she's like held up as like a great
Speaker 1: comedic performer that I was just like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he from like Bird on a
Speaker 1: Wire like whatever movie she was in in the eighties
Speaker 1: like stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But then what was the thing Nixon said on Laughing?
Speaker 1: Like I was just trying to remember, Like I was like, there,
Speaker 1: I know, there's a famous like Nixon line in Laughing
Speaker 1: where they had Nixon as a guest on Laughing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, like Lauren michael Y sock it to me,
Speaker 2: That's what it was. Sock it to me. And again
Speaker 2: this is a product of me watching like weird VH.
Speaker 1: One shows that it then made me think, are younger
Speaker 1: people gonna give a fuck about like shit that we
Speaker 1: remember from the nineties and eighties the way somehow I'm like, yeah, laughing,
Speaker 1: remember that Nixon moment from laughing in the sixties seven?
Speaker 4: Right, I don't feel like I knew that laughing existed
Speaker 4: for most of my life, Like I was not watching
Speaker 4: the retrospectives. I did not know that Goldie Hawn was like, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, a young ingenue on this like basically it
Speaker 4: was like another SNL SNL competitor that she was like
Speaker 4: the star of the breakout star of and then like
Speaker 4: went and started to be in movies and immediately like
Speaker 4: got nominated or won an oscar with them like a
Speaker 4: couple of years and couple of movie rules. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm actually reading this Lorne Michael's biography, and it's like
Speaker 4: interested like talked about that that early stuff and those
Speaker 4: early tons and a lot of the shit is not
Speaker 4: that funny in the early days, but comes around. I'm assuming,
Speaker 4: all right, sticking with the oscars, my overrated I would
Speaker 4: say is like, all right, did.
Speaker 2: You watch Kieran Culkin's acceptance speech.
Speaker 1: I was in the room when it happened, and then
Speaker 1: I just wasn't interested in what he was saying. So
Speaker 1: I know you had mentioned something earlier, and I was like, yeah.
Speaker 4: I think, like I find him charming, like you, he's
Speaker 4: like you want to love him and hate him, like
Speaker 4: it's the whole thing with his character on succession. But
Speaker 4: then like he hates himself already, so he's sort of
Speaker 4: just being like, ah, well, he took care of that part,
Speaker 4: so I just like him, like okay. So he got up,
Speaker 4: gave a speech, and then like at the end, was like,
Speaker 4: all right, so there's my wife, jazz uh and like
Speaker 4: I told her, if I want an Emmy, she would
Speaker 4: give me a third baby, and I want an Emmy
Speaker 4: and she was like, no, I'm not going to do that,
Speaker 4: but if you went an Oscar, I'll give you a fourth.
Speaker 4: And he was like, well, now I want an Oscar,
Speaker 4: so let's let's get to fucking essentially.
Speaker 2: And I I get that.
Speaker 4: It was like tongue in cheek and he may not
Speaker 4: be expecting her to have a baby, but the people
Speaker 4: who meet her for the first time for the next
Speaker 4: ten years of her life. Are sure going to be
Speaker 4: asking about it?
Speaker 2: It just you know what, maybe guys on you owe him? Right?
Speaker 4: Just a weird And it also just felt like a
Speaker 4: weird like tread wife as child bearing reward figure. Yeah
Speaker 4: sure for like man doing good job at work paradigm.
Speaker 4: It just felt felt a little like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: a handmaid's tail style birthing contract and not that like
Speaker 4: that's the energy he was giving and people like people
Speaker 4: seem to be like this was one of the highlights.
Speaker 4: It was like such a cute human moment. But I
Speaker 4: just don't felt it.
Speaker 2: Even as like a joke to be like you owe me,
Speaker 2: you owe me a child me? What do you what
Speaker 2: do you like? King Richard? What the fuck is this ship?
Speaker 2: Like you owe me? Where are my heirs? And I
Speaker 2: get maybe being like but he doesn't mean it, so
Speaker 2: it's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, it's kind of like the same way
Speaker 1: like the Office was getting away with like racist jokes
Speaker 1: by being well, he's dumb, so it's like, wow, that bad. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're making we're laughing at it. But as people gain
Speaker 1: a little more perspective.
Speaker 2: Like it's like the funniest fucking thing.
Speaker 1: But whatever, you know, I hope, I hope he has
Speaker 1: a contract. This is why you can't just be out
Speaker 1: here making fucking agreements based on how many awards you win.
Speaker 4: You should your serious contract with your significant other.
Speaker 2: I've saying that from day one.
Speaker 4: Exactly under penalty of death. After watching some of those
Speaker 4: Stephen Crowder household ring videos, I realized that you need, yeah,
Speaker 4: shit locked up.
Speaker 2: That's where it's It's like you're flying too.
Speaker 1: Close to gross real shit, I think is the thing, right?
Speaker 1: But whatever, I mean, Well, it's funny because, as you
Speaker 1: said that, the thing I was focused on the whole
Speaker 1: time was Jeremy Strong because.
Speaker 2: He didn't this motherfucker's probably dying inside.
Speaker 1: And I remember, right after they cut away from Kieran
Speaker 1: Colkin leaving the stage, they showed Jeremy Strong.
Speaker 2: And it was funny. My dad was was over too.
Speaker 1: We were watching and we both went, oh.
Speaker 2: You're not happy, and then her Magsy's like, what we're like, yo.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Strong looked fucking upset, and I rewound it and
Speaker 1: ro like, he just looks like he's like looking off.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, you can see the hurt in
Speaker 1: his eyes. He looked he is still processing that loss.
Speaker 1: But I think that just me projecting more shit onto
Speaker 1: Jeremy Strong than I probably should have.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There's also the songwriter who has been nominale It did
Speaker 4: like so many times, Diane Warren. I think, is that
Speaker 4: that's not her name? Diane Warren?
Speaker 2: Is it okay? Yeah?
Speaker 4: She she had a tough like accepting that she lost face.
Speaker 2: Experience that got you gotta feel for him. It's tough gig.
Speaker 2: Just like.
Speaker 4: You can kind of like no, no, like overt like
Speaker 4: what the fuck face, but like just you can kind
Speaker 4: of see the blood drained from her face a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he shout out to her. She's from the valley.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
Speaker 4: and we'll we'll talk about that uh Trump Zelensky meeting,
Speaker 4: the that that happened the end of last week, right
Speaker 4: after we recorded our last episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll be right back.
Speaker 4: And we're back. We're we're back, So I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: Tru Trump Zolensky, jd Vance the Vance.
Speaker 1: Dance, Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend, Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend all
Speaker 1: ganged up on, you know, wartime president Voldemir Zelenski.
Speaker 2: Is that how you pronounce this vl? You about to
Speaker 2: say voldemorre Voldemort Zelensky.
Speaker 4: But basically it was, you know, Zelensky came in the
Speaker 4: press was set up and it felt like it was
Speaker 4: it was a setup, you know.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: They Trump and Vance were just like waiting for him
Speaker 4: to say anything that they could just jump on. Zelenski
Speaker 4: obviously was pushing back on their narrative that like the
Speaker 4: whole war was his fault and uh that Russia was
Speaker 4: good and can be trusted.
Speaker 1: They hold on, they invaded, They Russia invaded Ukraine.
Speaker 4: You sound like you should be more grateful, is what
Speaker 4: we're hearing.
Speaker 1: I feel like a Henley in here full like but
Speaker 1: you wear in like a suit.
Speaker 2: Bruh, what's uh? You look really like district Like fuck it.
Speaker 4: They really like Trump did mention at the beginning. They
Speaker 4: like were nagging him from the beginning. They're like, thank
Speaker 4: you for getting dressed up for the occasion.
Speaker 2: Moving along, but I think he's dressed beautifully.
Speaker 4: You look like shit, No, no, you're great. It's great,
Speaker 4: You're beautiful. But the other comment like kind of dashed
Speaker 4: off comment at the end was where he was like
Speaker 4: closing the thing and he was like, I I'm assuming
Speaker 4: this was really good television, which I think is just
Speaker 4: like that is his instinct, like anybody who's like he's
Speaker 4: got a great instinct for like deal making and negotiating,
Speaker 4: and you know, I don't think so. I think his
Speaker 4: instinct is for reality television. It's and like creating moments
Speaker 4: that are going to make for good TV that he
Speaker 4: would want to watch to.
Speaker 2: Get a little youth to active you some ute vernacular,
Speaker 2: some gen z verneki. He is a master of crashing out,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: He is that master of the crash out to make
Speaker 1: very entertaining like public crashouts.
Speaker 2: That's what and that because that's what that was to
Speaker 2: see this.
Speaker 1: Weird like the bully and then the Bully's weird little
Speaker 1: friend who JD.
Speaker 2: Vance was like, yeah, get them, get them, get them, get.
Speaker 1: Them Donald like that weird dynamic, and Zelynsky's in there
Speaker 1: basically being like, so I'm fighting off an invading army.
Speaker 1: You motherfuckers said you were gonna give me security assurances.
Speaker 1: Now you're trying to get me to sign some fucking
Speaker 1: weird ass minerals deal with no security security.
Speaker 2: No fucking security assurances. What the fuck do what do
Speaker 2: I look like signing this ship right now? And what
Speaker 2: who the fuck do you think you guys are thinking
Speaker 2: you can put this shit in front of me and
Speaker 2: think I'm like, oh my god, I love it, thank
Speaker 2: you so much.
Speaker 1: They're like fighting for their fucking existence and this is
Speaker 1: what's happening.
Speaker 2: I can't. Like. It was very It was so hard
Speaker 2: to watch because you're like, holy, just like the America
Speaker 2: completely becoming like this other thing now just before everyone's eyes,
Speaker 2: trying to be like you better watch out. Like when
Speaker 2: it got to the boys, like you got to know
Speaker 2: your you don't have a good hand, you don't have
Speaker 2: good cards. You got to know your hand you've got.
Speaker 2: I'm not playing a game, motherfucker. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: He's like, you know what you get your you're risking
Speaker 1: World War three and you're risky world War three. Like
Speaker 1: he just kept escalating rhetorically again because he just wants
Speaker 1: to have It's just became this scene this like circus
Speaker 1: on yeah yeah, and it's just the whole thing was
Speaker 1: just very, very difficult to watch. And then the internet
Speaker 1: with like you know, the Speed of Light just started
Speaker 1: making all these fucking memes. You see the ones where
Speaker 1: they were playing like stratigo or like whatever.
Speaker 2: That other or whatever just by a door.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just like ha ha ha, but no,
Speaker 1: it is is kind of what's happening here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Also, like for all the like Trump supposedly being a populist,
Speaker 4: the popular opinion of Putin is pretty fucking unfavorable.
Speaker 2: Like that that.
Speaker 4: Seems to be one place where the real comfortable stepping
Speaker 4: out of line with like popular opinion. Ninety percent of
Speaker 4: Americans at least in twenty twenty three thought he was
Speaker 4: extremely untrustworthy. Specifically, there's like a pull that says that
Speaker 4: and I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's not like this is coming from some popular grounds
Speaker 4: well as with like all of his policies. Uh, it's
Speaker 4: coming from somewhere else, I guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's coming from Vladimir fucking Putin, dude.
Speaker 1: Like it's so obvious that at this point it's like
Speaker 1: the fucking news really needs to fucking wake the fuck up,
Speaker 1: and this is crazy.
Speaker 4: That was the other like big takeaway is they were like, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, Zelenski lost his cool and like that he
Speaker 4: really fucked himself there and not yeah, just being what
Speaker 4: and like, I also saw people being like and obviously
Speaker 4: Trump is doing this because he thinks that Russia will
Speaker 4: be a good ally against China and like making kind
Speaker 4: of what rationalizations, Yeah, making rationalizations that don't really make
Speaker 4: sense for his behavior.
Speaker 2: Well, they try and do the thing.
Speaker 1: Rather than like be a little bit giving people context
Speaker 1: about how this completely goes against the order of things
Speaker 1: or whatever, they try and do this thing where it's
Speaker 1: like trying to understand where he's coming from with them, yes,
Speaker 1: even if it makes no fucking sense, and they don't
Speaker 1: even say, like, but that doesn't make any fucking sense
Speaker 1: because X, Y and Z they don't do that shit.
Speaker 1: They're just like this, I think this is what he's
Speaker 1: thinking to again pretend like they're doing journalism, but also
Speaker 1: just zero pushback in manufacturing consent. And again, this whole
Speaker 1: meeting was supposed to be around this fucking deal that
Speaker 1: was going to be made. The deal in this instance
Speaker 1: was Ukraine would allow for like five hundred billion dollars
Speaker 1: in rare earth metals to be extracted where they get
Speaker 1: like a measly cut of profits in exchange again for
Speaker 1: no fucking security assurances and not even a commitment to
Speaker 1: having a.
Speaker 2: Ceasefire, just none of that. It's like, give me that
Speaker 2: and you'll be okay.
Speaker 1: How and again, this deal, of course, was untenable for
Speaker 1: Zolenski because he wants fucking security assurances because he's fighting
Speaker 1: invading army, and the deal is so unrealistic for two
Speaker 1: really big points. A. Right, we haven't the five hundred
Speaker 1: billion thing it's supposed to be like to repay all
Speaker 1: the stuff we've given you. We haven't even given them
Speaker 1: close to five hundred billion worth of arms.
Speaker 4: Right, We're not even the biggest supporter of their military effort,
Speaker 4: like they're Western European countries that have supported them more.
Speaker 1: The fact is we just dusted off some old shit
Speaker 1: that we had, just old killing toys, and we say,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, y'all could have them. And that five hundred
Speaker 1: that amount that we say we're sending, No, that's for
Speaker 1: us to buy shiny, new fucking kill toys. That's not
Speaker 1: because here's the money. We're like, oh yeah, you could
Speaker 1: have that, You could have that. You know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna replace. I'm gonna replace that Hi Mars system anyway
Speaker 1: with some news there's some new shit out. I really
Speaker 1: want that, So yeah, y'all could take that. That's how
Speaker 1: like this transaction is working. So it's not like they're
Speaker 1: on the hook for a half trillion dollars. Then would
Speaker 1: the rare earth metals part. We don't even know if
Speaker 1: there is enough rare earth metals in the ground in
Speaker 1: Ukraine that would even total five hundred billion dollars? Like
Speaker 1: that amount even baffles the commodities and geology expert community
Speaker 1: who know about like, they're like, what is he like,
Speaker 1: they're even from that perspective, what is he talking about?
Speaker 1: This is a write up from like a commodities newsletter.
Speaker 1: First of all, it says most estimates for twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four stand at four billion to twelve and a half
Speaker 1: billion globally in terms of sales of rare metals. The
Speaker 1: global market right at the low end is four at
Speaker 1: the high end twelve and a half. So it said
Speaker 1: it would therefore be astonishing for Ukraine to conjure up
Speaker 1: five hundred.
Speaker 2: Billion dollars under a bill.
Speaker 1: Then this other thing it is also this is again
Speaker 1: from the same article. It is also notable that even
Speaker 1: during the most recent rare earth metal price boom, which
Speaker 1: ran from late twenty twenty to March of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two and saw exploration companies enthusiastically snap up and try
Speaker 1: to develop new supply sources around the world.
Speaker 2: No one made a play for Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Right, that's even predating the war, right, Like, there's just
Speaker 1: not it's just not something that's on the radar. So
Speaker 1: I think again, Trump goes on to be like, well,
Speaker 1: it's a great deal because his logic here is that
Speaker 1: all the American commercial mining companies that would be in
Speaker 1: Ukraine would act as a deterrent because Russia wouldn't dare
Speaker 1: attack and risk harming Americans in Ukraine and risking war.
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, they're not going to attack because they
Speaker 1: got what they wanted through this dumb fucking deal.
Speaker 2: It's not because of the presence of it.
Speaker 1: Like the America is not gonna do shit, So stop
Speaker 1: pretending that that's the position America is gonna take. And
Speaker 1: it just feels like terrible negotiating and like bad fascist
Speaker 1: improv Like clearly Trump was told by Putin just fucking
Speaker 1: makes it go away and make them weaker so I
Speaker 1: can take my depleted army back home, and like we
Speaker 1: can have some kind of a win here, and to
Speaker 1: achieve the alienation of Zelensky, Trump goes for this weird
Speaker 1: ass minerals deal that makes no sense and just ends
Speaker 1: up having the effect of strengthening European alliances because after
Speaker 1: that they're like, oh shit, yeah, you know, Zelensky went
Speaker 1: to the UK and Starmar's like, bro, we gotta We're
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure out how to do this shit
Speaker 1: without the crash out crew in DC. And Trump can't
Speaker 1: just announce okay bye by Ukraine because he needs the pretext,
Speaker 1: no matter how flimsy, to not look like a Russian asset.
Speaker 1: So his idea to create this pretext is just like
Speaker 1: this untenable deal, So then he can be like, well,
Speaker 1: I tried to help it, but he just wouldn't take
Speaker 1: the deal, so therefore I need it.
Speaker 2: Seems like they're like really just going along with that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So again, if like if the improv suggestion from Putin
Speaker 1: to Trump is this scene is about cut ties with Zelenski,
Speaker 1: then Trump just started the improv scene by saying, let
Speaker 1: me have sex.
Speaker 2: With all of your ghosts or else I never what
Speaker 2: the fuck? What huh?
Speaker 1: But yeah, like you say, Washington Post rip fully to
Speaker 1: that fucking place with these op eds they're putting out now,
Speaker 1: it's like absurd.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just put out on op ed.
Speaker 4: Zelensky must mend the breach with Trump or resign from
Speaker 4: Mark A season, which I don't know. Is that like
Speaker 4: an anagram for Lindsay Graham or is that? But yeah,
Speaker 4: this should have been a backslapping, feel good meeting celebrating
Speaker 4: the minerals deal. Unfortunately it was a terrible deal for Zelensky,
Speaker 4: so he was not feeling good for some reason.
Speaker 1: Who was a nie slapper because it was so fucking
Speaker 1: absurd of a deal. Not a backslapper because we're gonna
Speaker 1: feel good. Yeah, just says go, Like the this whole
Speaker 1: like Mark Theeson I think is a bush.
Speaker 2: I think a speech writer or something. He's from the era.
Speaker 2: But like even him trying to act like this is good,
Speaker 2: it's just so disorienting. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, the billionaire capture of our media has just led
Speaker 1: to a fun toilet bowl ride down to hell for everyone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really wild as far as what people think,
Speaker 4: Like I mentioned, there's been pulling that suggests that you know,
Speaker 4: ninety percent of Americans for some reason find Vladimir Putin untrustworthy.
Speaker 4: I don't know what their deal is, must be hangover
Speaker 4: from the Cold War, just some other evidence that this
Speaker 4: is not a popular position. So right after this where JD.
Speaker 4: Vance was kind of the instigator. He was like the
Speaker 4: first person. But first of all, you should thank our
Speaker 4: president and wash his feet with your hair.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's his thing.
Speaker 4: He give him gold, gifts of gold, and you know
Speaker 4: he's not that into Franken CENSORR.
Speaker 2: But he was.
Speaker 4: He was so annoyed that, you know, Zelen Ski and
Speaker 4: you know, putting up big, big dick energy in the room.
Speaker 4: And then he Johnson off to a ski vacation with
Speaker 4: his family in Vermont, and it did not go well.
Speaker 4: Hundreds of protesters showed up to line the streets, some
Speaker 4: with some pretty devastating signage such as vance skis and
Speaker 4: jeans the worst thing you can do. I mean, I
Speaker 4: play pickup ball in jean shorts.
Speaker 2: But that's just me. I guess you're not supposed to
Speaker 2: ski in jeans. You want to show off your legs.
Speaker 2: I got to show off them them you just saying
Speaker 2: they look better and cutoffs.
Speaker 4: Exactly got to show off the thighs, baby, but they
Speaker 4: he even got hassled as he was skiing, as if
Speaker 4: it were some common visiting dignitary.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: Heuh had to be moved to an undisclosed location. But
Speaker 4: one person really took him out but like almost ran
Speaker 4: into him on the slopes, and another one called him
Speaker 4: Putin's puppet on the mountain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so great.
Speaker 1: It looked like I've saw clips on Reddit of like
Speaker 1: just like the cluster fuck. It look like having just
Speaker 1: secret service and him skiing and like other people like
Speaker 1: what like hating this guy.
Speaker 2: It just felt like a fucking nightmare.
Speaker 1: But I just love how again, like Fox and Friends,
Speaker 1: the media comes to his defense.
Speaker 5: And they're like, bro, this should not be They should
Speaker 5: leave him alone, you know, they should just like he's
Speaker 5: with his family. Quote, I think his family should be
Speaker 5: off limits, says the lady from Real World from fucking
Speaker 5: forty years ago.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 4: Also, skiing vacations are where like billionaire power broker like
Speaker 4: clash with the blue collar ski workers and the like townies.
Speaker 4: That's what they taught us anything, This is exactly where
Speaker 4: this should be happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm surprised jd answers so like into that kind
Speaker 1: of media would know.
Speaker 2: It's like, the last place I need to go is
Speaker 2: a ski resort. They're gonna prank me.
Speaker 4: I mean, there were the strikes earlier this year. It's
Speaker 4: a hotbed of class tension. So yeah, shit, perfect place
Speaker 4: for him to go immediately after, you know, pissing off
Speaker 4: the American people with a wildly unpopular take.
Speaker 1: Well's always yeah, there's I always see these like sort
Speaker 1: of screen caps of like comment sections, and half seem real,
Speaker 1: the other half seemed like bots. But there are like
Speaker 1: definitely a group of confused boomer conservatives who are like, nah,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I was raised to hate everything Russian
Speaker 1: from birth.
Speaker 2: Is what is this?
Speaker 1: And I don't understand what what we get out of it?
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, yeah, explain it, Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4: Also, there was a blind item that suggested that again
Speaker 4: you know, blind item, no way to corroborate this as
Speaker 4: of yet, similar to the couch fucking it just fits,
Speaker 4: you know, just fits his personality, his energy always what
Speaker 4: he tried to a chairlift, He tried to fuck it. No,
Speaker 4: somebody said I skied at sugar Bush in Vermont today.
Speaker 4: Guess who is here? None other than are Steven Vice
Speaker 4: president jd Vance, half of Central Vermont, was out in
Speaker 4: the streets protesting him. It was hilarious. The loser couldn't
Speaker 4: even get off the chairlift. He went around the bowl
Speaker 4: wheel and they had to shut it down so secret
Speaker 4: Service could get him off the chair. I'm not kidding,
Speaker 4: true story. Fucking Jerry of the Day. I don't even
Speaker 4: know what Jerry means.
Speaker 1: Dude, that's like a pejorative nickname for people who don't
Speaker 1: belong people, yeah, who.
Speaker 2: Aren't like real skiers, like they were jeans and ski.
Speaker 2: There's a very big Instagram account that just shows like
Speaker 2: ski fails like that. I think it's called Jerry of
Speaker 2: the Day.
Speaker 1: But honestly, misinformation about jd Vance is louds harmless misinforma ever.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he I think we need to add to that.
Speaker 1: It's because he tried to have sex with you.
Speaker 4: He was trying to fuck the chairlift as he was
Speaker 4: going up. It is very couch adjacent, you know, it's
Speaker 4: they call it a chairlift, but it's more like a
Speaker 4: metal couch.
Speaker 2: But yeah, three across, you know. Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 2: let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 4: We'll talk anything we missed on the oscars up top.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back and we're back. We're back.
Speaker 4: By the way, Brian was pointing us to a Reddit thread.
Speaker 4: Brian the Editor was pointing us to the reddit thread
Speaker 4: that this just seems anecdotally, it seems like this Zelensky
Speaker 4: stuff is unpopular. I mean it, like it's a good
Speaker 4: point that the Ukraine War effort, Ukrainian War effort was
Speaker 4: like extremely popular for probably like it goes with the
Speaker 4: grain of white supremacy in America. You know, it's like
Speaker 4: white people being like those people look just like me.
Speaker 4: Like that's so yeah, it's it'll be interesting to see
Speaker 4: how Trump supporters respond to this whole thing going going
Speaker 4: side with m Yeah, although it is what a lot
Speaker 4: a lot of the shit he does is like it
Speaker 4: is what the Democratic Party has been doing and just
Speaker 4: all American policy has been doing. He just does it
Speaker 4: like real, uh, openly and stupidly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, because I think there's most Americans are kind of
Speaker 1: diluted into thinking we're still trying to do good right,
Speaker 1: where like, bro, we're not trying to do that, bro,
Speaker 1: what we're talking about it And I mean not to
Speaker 1: say that like like get real everyone, it's been this
Speaker 1: bad forever. But like that's sort of like the difference
Speaker 1: is sort of not even trying to hide this self dealing.
Speaker 4: Not even trying to play politics in any in any way.
Speaker 2: Guys, just hide the self dealing a little bit, right,
Speaker 2: and we'll go along with anything, all right?
Speaker 4: Oscars watched them out of out of one eye while
Speaker 4: doing other stuff.
Speaker 2: But would you happen? Yeah, my eyes are fucked now
Speaker 2: just watching that Sixers win over the Warriors on loop.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, man.
Speaker 4: Just when I want they lost, like ten in a row,
Speaker 4: shut down and be for the year nine nine in
Speaker 4: a row shut down and b for the year.
Speaker 2: It's time.
Speaker 4: It's losing time, baby, It's time to lose the rest
Speaker 4: of our games and just you know, shut it down,
Speaker 4: try and get the best draft pick we can in
Speaker 4: the seventy. Six Ers, of course win, just when they
Speaker 4: need to start focusing on losing. Weird weird league fans
Speaker 4: who people who aren't fans of the NBA probably like,
Speaker 4: what are well adjusted you want your team?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Or well adjusted?
Speaker 1: I mean like I went to I went like I
Speaker 1: don't care about nothing, and now I'm like, yeah, bro,
Speaker 1: we're winning the fucking championship this year. Yeah, just fucking
Speaker 1: you like it. I don't care how many people get injured. No,
Speaker 1: we're not, but anyway I want to see. I did
Speaker 1: feel like a winner, though, because I famously only saw
Speaker 1: one movie that was in contention for awards, and guess
Speaker 1: what it was fucking Honora. So I felt like so
Speaker 1: in tune with the awards because I.
Speaker 2: I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I thought that I didn't know The Brutalist was about
Speaker 1: brutalist architecture.
Speaker 2: He thought it was just about a guy who is mean.
Speaker 1: I just thought I didn't read a single word. I
Speaker 1: saw like an emaciated Adrian Brody. I said, I don't
Speaker 1: know what some sad Eastern European ship. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck they're talking about. This is kind of
Speaker 1: where I went with it. But yeah, when was the
Speaker 1: last time a fucking guy what's the guys named Dave Foster?
Speaker 2: What's his name? Dave Sean Baker, Sean.
Speaker 1: Dave Foster, the fucking composer, the that because he went
Speaker 1: Best Screenplay, Editing Director, Best Picture. He he he sort
Speaker 1: of won four out of the five awards that they
Speaker 1: won that single handed, when not saying one of the.
Speaker 4: Four like big ones that he was nominated for. It's
Speaker 4: never really happened before Disney has won more Oscars in
Speaker 4: a single year.
Speaker 2: But that was like not it wasn't like.
Speaker 4: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best that just.
Speaker 1: Seems wild to get Screenplay, Editor, Director, Like on the
Speaker 1: individual merits, I was like, that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 4: I mean they made a point of emphasizing this when
Speaker 4: they won. But like this movie had a budget of
Speaker 4: six million dollars, Like it was a pretty small like
Speaker 4: that's how you get somebody who's like doing all those things,
Speaker 4: I think largely, although I think I think Christopher Nolan
Speaker 4: also like does a lot of the shit. But yeah, yeah, sure, sure, yeah, Sodaberg,
Speaker 4: I think it is kind of like that. But had
Speaker 4: a budget of six million dollars. Four of the last
Speaker 4: five winners had like really low budgets. Nomadland, Coda, Everything
Speaker 4: everywhere all at once, now Anora. That's like eighty percent
Speaker 4: of the last five years best picture winners. You know,
Speaker 4: obviously Oppenheimer was a huge movie that destroyed last year's Oscars,
Speaker 4: But like, I don't know, we talked about this as
Speaker 4: like Hollywood.
Speaker 2: And like corporate thinking.
Speaker 4: Netflix COVID a lot of different things like kind of
Speaker 4: conspired to fuck up studio movies, and like we were
Speaker 4: like there's probably a new wave of like independent movies
Speaker 4: coming and that at least seems to be happening.
Speaker 2: If you look at like who's who's winning Best Picture.
Speaker 1: Well that's where like you'd hope the corporate thinking goes
Speaker 1: hold on, dude, like these like weird stories and I
Speaker 1: call them weird because they're not based on IP that
Speaker 1: we own, right, It's like.
Speaker 2: Weird little stories are coming up. People like those better.
Speaker 2: So I guess maybe we just do more of those.
Speaker 2: And they're cheaper, so maybe we just make a fuck
Speaker 2: ton of these. I don't Yeah, maybe not, I don't know.
Speaker 4: The only real IP movies that were like close to
Speaker 4: winning were obviously Dune, Wicked, and then Conclave, which optioned
Speaker 4: the the Pope Cinematic Universe Anymore did not win was
Speaker 4: expected to win. I think was like one of the
Speaker 4: biggest favorites heading in to the night like that category
Speaker 4: was basically seen as a as a.
Speaker 2: Lock damn that she looked a little crust fallen. Yeah
Speaker 2: when they showed after, like Mikey Madison had accepted also
Speaker 2: from the Valley. Shoutowt Mikey Madison, shout out the Valley.
Speaker 2: The Valley is just yeah.
Speaker 1: We're just the people on the fucking fringe brow. We're
Speaker 1: not the fucking West Side, but guess what we're out here.
Speaker 1: I remember that her Majesty was like, is that her boyfriend?
Speaker 2: I was like, no, that's shit. They look related.
Speaker 1: And then when she got her the redhead, she was with, yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's like my twin brother, Miles.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, they're related.
Speaker 4: There you go. Yeah, that was cute. She has a
Speaker 4: twin brother. She's like, you're my best friend, not the
Speaker 4: US A choice.
Speaker 2: That acceptance speech, like was really interesting. I've only know
Speaker 2: Mikey Madison through her performances.
Speaker 1: To see how different obviously, I'm like, she wasn't even
Speaker 1: on noor when she went up there, but like.
Speaker 2: You got a real and that's where you know she's
Speaker 2: an actor. You got a real taste for like her
Speaker 2: actual character.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, damn, she was spitting like as a
Speaker 1: Nora because she was truly like there was a.
Speaker 2: Humility, just a teenager.
Speaker 4: When she went up there, She's like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: this is crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she just seemed really young and anyway, Adrian Brodie
Speaker 4: baby best Actor for a second time. People noted that
Speaker 4: as he was taking the stage, she took his gum
Speaker 4: out of his mouth and threw it at his partner.
Speaker 4: To his partner, some would say, Georgina Chapman.
Speaker 2: Wait he did? Oh? Is that what was going on?
Speaker 2: I was like, what the you have? Like a lipper
Speaker 2: in or something? Be way better loose. It's not even
Speaker 2: like a fucking pouch.
Speaker 4: Just all right, put that in my gatorade bottle under
Speaker 4: my seat.
Speaker 2: You could have just spit it into your Gatorade bottle.
Speaker 1: I don't want him to see I spit into a
Speaker 1: Gatorade bottle. Okay, it's embarrassing and they can see all
Speaker 1: the spit. It's the clear bottle.
Speaker 2: Okay. Good for him.
Speaker 4: His partner is he shout out his partner and her kids,
Speaker 4: who are now I guess his step kids. His partner
Speaker 4: is Harvey Weinstein's ex wife, so like those, he's shouting
Speaker 4: out like Harvey Weinstein's children from the stage, which damn okay,
Speaker 4: Russell will insisting, piece of interesting, piece of context. Yeah
Speaker 4: all right, jam said, so, no matter how much gum
Speaker 4: he throws at her Adrian Brodie will never be her
Speaker 4: shittiest romantic partner.
Speaker 1: We talked about I'm surprising to have my shirt. He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not the step father that's stepped up.
Speaker 2: That's right. How you like that, Harvey? And then it's like, yo, wait,
Speaker 2: don't shout him out. Okay, that's right.
Speaker 4: So just going along with the like indie element of
Speaker 4: the whole thing. The movie Flow one for Best Animated
Speaker 4: Feature against Inside Out two I think was nominated, and
Speaker 4: the good robot Wild Robot, which was also nominated.
Speaker 2: I really liked Wild Robot. I thought that was good.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen Flow, but JM was pointing out that
Speaker 4: it is like another example of like independent. It was
Speaker 4: made for three point seven million dollars by a Lotvian
Speaker 4: director using free, open source animation software that basically anyone
Speaker 4: can use on a lot Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, Inside Out to cost two hundred million dollars to make,
Speaker 1: so yeah, so your movie sucks okay.
Speaker 2: Fuck yeah? Wow three point seven million is that's pretty
Speaker 2: remark that's wild. Yeah. Good for the yo.
Speaker 1: So when no other land one for Best Feature Documentary,
Speaker 1: and we talked on the show about how they were
Speaker 1: still I'm pretty I feel. I don't know if anything's changed,
Speaker 1: but up till the awards, they had not secured any
Speaker 1: American distribution for this documentary that's talking about what's happening
Speaker 1: in the occupied West Bank. Yeah, my fucking step mom
Speaker 1: sat on the remote inadvertently and muted the TV.
Speaker 2: But we didn't realize.
Speaker 4: You thought they were like cutting their mic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, you know what, And I went up
Speaker 2: there and go what the fuck is going on? And
Speaker 2: everyone was like there's no there's no sound. Wow.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the wait what I'm like hell, no, hell,
Speaker 1: And I'm like no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: And then she's like, oh, wait, hold on, the remote
Speaker 2: is here, and then I hit the mute button and
Speaker 2: it came back on. I was like, oh.
Speaker 1: For a second, I was like, bro, I was not
Speaker 1: ready to fucking fully go across the rubicon into like
Speaker 1: and now you will not hear anything that goes against
Speaker 1: the wheels of the American Empire. Yeah, but yeah, that
Speaker 1: was also. Yeah, it was wild to have like that
Speaker 1: moment be where you could hear some of the realist
Speaker 1: shit being talked, because from what I saw, like none
Speaker 1: of the people that won for Amelia Prez ever like
Speaker 1: mentioned the trans community like in their acceptance speeches.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 1: We're at a pretty critical juncture here and being able
Speaker 1: to like stand up for marginalized people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, that was that was a that was
Speaker 2: a big speech. Yeah.
Speaker 4: They specifically called for an end to the ethnic cleansing
Speaker 4: of the Palestinian people and also called a US foreign
Speaker 4: policy that's helping to block a political solution without ethnic supremacy.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I mean we're so far from the US
Speaker 4: not doing that that US is blocking this movie from
Speaker 4: like getting distribution.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't like the harsh reality of our foreign
Speaker 1: policy because I think that's what they said. It's like,
Speaker 1: and the foreign policy of this country is actually preventing it.
Speaker 1: It was interesting to see like some people would stood
Speaker 1: up when they won.
Speaker 2: Other people seemed firmly planted in their seats. But hey,
Speaker 2: it is what it is, because we don't want to
Speaker 2: bring too much sunlight onto a situation like that. But
Speaker 2: I think most people clearly understand how powerful the message
Speaker 2: and how important the story is because it won. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I will say so.
Speaker 4: Another place that people are probably saying it is what
Speaker 4: it is this morning is Hulu because they were streaming
Speaker 4: the Oscars for the first time, and they they missed
Speaker 4: the open wicked performance by Cynthia Revo and Ariana Grande.
Speaker 4: Really also missed Conan's monologue wait, like.
Speaker 2: It just wasn't part of the stream, like they were
Speaker 2: just greeted it.
Speaker 4: I feel like it was like being handled by like
Speaker 4: a fifty something guy, you know. It was like, oh shit,
Speaker 4: I didn't even realize the Oscars were on. They also
Speaker 4: like cut out during the Best Actress category informing viewers
Speaker 4: that the show was over, and then someone had to
Speaker 4: be like, yo, you do like you you have to
Speaker 4: like add extra time. You can't just like have it
Speaker 4: cut off at the time. They say, that's pretty standard
Speaker 4: for anyone who's ever used a DVR, right, And then
Speaker 4: it happened again during the Best Picture announcement. They're like,
Speaker 4: all right, right now, it's got to be over right.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 4: For this and many other reasons, I have a hard
Speaker 4: time believing that one billion people watched the show, which
Speaker 4: was mentioned multiple times that a billion people around the
Speaker 4: world were watching it. US ratings have been around like
Speaker 4: sixteen million people in the past couple of years. I
Speaker 4: think they got as low as eleven during the pandemic,
Speaker 4: but seems like that, you know, eleven to sixteen in
Speaker 4: the US. That's like that's your base right there, Like
Speaker 4: that's who would be watching.
Speaker 2: That's that right? I don't know that you're gonna yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Brian pointed out that a billion people would be everyone
Speaker 4: in America and Europe, just every single person on both comes.
Speaker 1: We can only get we can only add three hundred
Speaker 1: million to that pot, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what.
Speaker 1: Let's see, like what the World Cup probably didn't even
Speaker 1: get close to whatever. I mean, clearly, that's like one
Speaker 1: of those Oniony type jokes where.
Speaker 2: People were like, I think so, and then you think
Speaker 2: of any like a fucking way A billion people watch this? Right?
Speaker 1: That only bluster Like they said sixteen, So that's up
Speaker 1: from previous years.
Speaker 2: We don't know.
Speaker 4: Last year was sixteen, but last year also had uh
Speaker 4: Oppenheimer and Barbie like the two oh yeah yeah, the
Speaker 4: past couple of years vying so I think, and like
Speaker 4: a musical number by Ryan Gosling and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Though I think it's probably this one. If I had
Speaker 4: to guess, this one will be slightly down.
Speaker 1: But yeah, whatever, I mean it's it was going to
Speaker 1: see like the charts of like just the dwindling interest
Speaker 1: in the I'm just curious if someone can map like
Speaker 1: wage stagnation and inequality with waning interest in stuff where
Speaker 1: wealthy people do backslapper times and giggle fests. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: think I think there might be something there.
Speaker 2: Hm hmm.
Speaker 1: It's easier when you could trick yourself and be like
Speaker 1: and I might one day be in that class.
Speaker 2: Of people or something. Shit like. It's about aspiration. We're like,
Speaker 2: I feel like now you're just like, fuck all this ship.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, well those are some of the things
Speaker 4: that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back
Speaker 4: tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
Speaker 4: be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get
Speaker 4: your vaccines way you still can't get your flu shots.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you hear the JFRFK Junior. He's
Speaker 2: back on board.
Speaker 4: So yeah, this is this message brought to you by
Speaker 4: RFK Junior. He says vaccines are good.
Speaker 2: Vaccine good, vaccine good, but still don't.
Speaker 4: Do nothing about white supremacy. Not brought to you by
Speaker 4: anyone in the Trump administration. That wore, and we will
Speaker 4: talk to you tomorrow. Bye bye
