Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 2: Ah, just walking into my fucking just to the mic
Speaker 2: over here, kick the fucking clothing rack and blew my
Speaker 2: fucking toes off.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, that's like the worst. I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, the fucked up parties.
Speaker 3: You know, when you you fucking hit your toes walking
Speaker 3: and ship, like you catch it on the corner of
Speaker 3: a table whatever, and like there's that space between where
Speaker 3: you hit it and you're like, I fucked it, and
Speaker 3: then it those like nerds, like your neurons actually have
Speaker 3: to start firing in your brain to feel the pain.
Speaker 1: Is that in.
Speaker 3: Between that's like the most I don't know if it's
Speaker 3: exhilarating or fucking anxiety and doc you're like.
Speaker 4: I feel alive?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 4: Is that space between this? I have to do that
Speaker 4: every time before?
Speaker 1: You know? Is that what Dave Matthews was talking about.
Speaker 4: I think he was, Yeah, hitting your toes between when
Speaker 4: you stub your toe, dude, I get like it rationally angry,
Speaker 4: like I will yell at someone.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 4: I never take stupider than I do. After I just
Speaker 4: just destroy my pinky toe on a table.
Speaker 3: I get laughed at when I when I have my
Speaker 3: big reactions like yeah, I mean because I do, like.
Speaker 1: What the fuck is usually what I say, I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, god, fuck my foot, And then it just turns
Speaker 3: into laughter at my house.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh daddy hurt his foot. Ha.
Speaker 4: Not for me, not for me. I'm not laughing. I'm
Speaker 4: mad at them.
Speaker 3: If I was with you, I would Did you remember
Speaker 3: that scene in I don't know if you watch The
Speaker 3: American Office where like Roy got his jet ski stolen,
Speaker 3: but then he's like him and his brother at a
Speaker 3: bar and they get mad, but his brother, just to
Speaker 3: have his back, also just gets mad and starts like
Speaker 3: breaking stuff irrationally, just to have my brother. He's like,
Speaker 3: I hate this place, and the brothers like yeah.
Speaker 4: Throw things off the shelf.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, it's a bad feeling. Hello the Internet, and
Speaker 4: welcome to this Monday Morning week Trends edition of.
Speaker 1: Damn. You know.
Speaker 4: My name is Jack. There is Miles and he is
Speaker 4: insduction mode.
Speaker 1: Yes I am so I had to. I had to
Speaker 1: make eyes at the at the trash guy.
Speaker 4: Today is Monday trash night for you.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's it's very weird. Uh, It's it's usually Monday. No,
Speaker 3: it's usually Tuesday. But I heard the truck, but they
Speaker 3: were picking up I think something else randomly outside and
Speaker 3: I had that like response or like.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean window? Yeah, dude, I feel.
Speaker 3: Like there's for whatever reason that the way my like
Speaker 3: hearing the reverse beeping of a trash truck can break
Speaker 3: me out of my sleep is fucking insane.
Speaker 4: It was like rise up like a vampire popping out
Speaker 4: of a coffin when I hear that ship.
Speaker 1: No going back to sleep.
Speaker 4: It's wild how the trash day, like your local trash day,
Speaker 4: really organizes your week like ours is Friday, and it
Speaker 4: feels like that's like that, you know, the finish line
Speaker 4: is trash day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's wild.
Speaker 3: That kind of like it's sort of hard for me
Speaker 3: to even picture that, right. That's like me like the
Speaker 3: school year starts in November, yeah exactly, but it's it's earlier.
Speaker 4: The fact that your trash day is not on Friday
Speaker 4: seems wrong up to yeah right for.
Speaker 3: Me, it's like, hey, man, reset the trash clock for
Speaker 3: this week. Yeah exactly, And you're just sort of like.
Speaker 1: Let's get the fucking wasting party started.
Speaker 4: Exactly, all right. Well, my name is Jack. That is
Speaker 4: Miles Gray. This is the episode where we tell you
Speaker 4: some of the things we're trending over the weekend, some
Speaker 4: of the things that happened over the weekend. But first
Speaker 4: we get to know each other a little bit better
Speaker 4: by telling you some things we think is underrated, some
Speaker 4: things we think is overrated.
Speaker 1: Let's start with.
Speaker 4: Underrated, Miles, what something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: This is It's gonna sound abstract as I say it
Speaker 3: out loud, but you stay with me using math as
Speaker 3: a way to process things like moderation, because I think
Speaker 3: moderation can sometimes be like a nebulous concept in our minds,
Speaker 3: an abstraction that we can't quite be Like what am
Speaker 3: I measurably?
Speaker 1: Is this in moderation? Wait?
Speaker 4: Bro, did you listen to the Terrence Howard episode of
Speaker 4: Joe Rogan? Is that what's going on?
Speaker 1: I don't know what that has to do with this.
Speaker 4: For one of my runs that was ten minutes talking
Speaker 4: about terrology, Like how she's into it? This like white
Speaker 4: woman who calls people mama.
Speaker 3: You should not snitch on yourself by outing yourself as
Speaker 3: a terryology fan.
Speaker 4: Like he made so much sense. But she has a
Speaker 4: British accent, so she just like that's even.
Speaker 3: More dangerous if if Terrence Howard had an English accent,
Speaker 3: I feel I feel.
Speaker 4: Like a lot more Yeah, oh yeah, this would be
Speaker 4: a much more interesting presidential election because there'd be another
Speaker 4: third party candidate Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: He's not American.
Speaker 3: It's like, I know, but I need to say this
Speaker 3: like this anyway. So we talk a lot about human connection.
Speaker 3: I recently heard something about how much like social media
Speaker 3: has begun to like replace person to person interaction, especially
Speaker 3: like like in the pandemic, Like we just got used
Speaker 3: to like getting sort of like this feeling of socializing
Speaker 3: through a screen at times, and shit even some podcasts.
Speaker 3: But no, in my mind, I try my best to
Speaker 3: keep up with friends and plan to have like as
Speaker 3: many in per interactions like on the weekends and when
Speaker 3: I have free time as possible, but I didn't really
Speaker 3: like have a way to measure it. So like in
Speaker 3: my mind, I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm probably have a
Speaker 3: good balance of like being on my phone or social
Speaker 3: media versus like being around friends. But then I realized
Speaker 3: my phone literally tells me fucking every week, like how
Speaker 3: much time I'm spending on certain apps, like whether my
Speaker 3: usage has got up or down. And so what I've
Speaker 3: been trying to do is really be mindful now in
Speaker 3: a measurable way of the ratio between using TikTok and
Speaker 3: YouTube or Reddit and all that other social media shit
Speaker 3: and actual like person to person things. So if I'm
Speaker 3: spending that amount, I'm looking at the numbers, man, I'm
Speaker 3: looking at the numbers. And when I see that like
Speaker 3: I've spent damn, I spent a shitload of time on
Speaker 3: these apps, I'm like, is that matching to the amount
Speaker 3: of time I spent with friends, with parent, with family, whatever?
Speaker 3: And if that number is higher than the other, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we need to sort that, we need to address that.
Speaker 3: So I've been sort of using that to sort of
Speaker 3: like even motivate myself further, to be like, you may
Speaker 3: think you're doing this, but really be mindful, even if
Speaker 3: it's a phone call, even if it's like yo, man,
Speaker 3: like I'm I'm I'm about to go on a walk
Speaker 3: or whatever. You live up the street, come over, you
Speaker 3: want to have breakfast, you want to grab a coffee, whatever.
Speaker 1: I've just used that to kind of really.
Speaker 3: Give myself the ability to sort of see how that
Speaker 3: time is being split up.
Speaker 1: So I think it's a good tool just to kind
Speaker 1: of be mindful of. You got a spreadsheet? Were we talking?
Speaker 3: No, Because you know there's like a screen time app
Speaker 3: in Apple that tells you every week, it gives you
Speaker 3: a report like this is how much you these are,
Speaker 3: like your top used apps for X amount of.
Speaker 1: Hours every week or whatever.
Speaker 3: And then I'm like, oh, if I'm not spending time
Speaker 3: with friends and shit and equal measure, if not more,
Speaker 3: then I'm like.
Speaker 1: Then maybe let's let's begin to let's emphasize that. Let's
Speaker 1: emphasize that.
Speaker 3: And it's like an easier way to motivate myself because
Speaker 3: it's measurable rather than before I was like going off
Speaker 3: the vibes.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I saw some I saw somebody last weekend.
Speaker 1: It's like for a little bit, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like one fifteen minute interaction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Like I've talked on here before about how like it's
Speaker 4: really like trying to put myself out there, like get
Speaker 4: back in touch with old friends, and it's literally like
Speaker 4: two calls a week, Like sometimes I'm right giving myself
Speaker 4: big upping myself. Whereas that's why she's the number, like
Speaker 4: that was all there was to do. Yeah, the phone
Speaker 4: is insidious for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think that's why it's a good thing
Speaker 3: to see, like, oh shit, four fucking hours last week
Speaker 3: I Reddit. Yeah, and that's how you better at least
Speaker 3: put it five with the with the people.
Speaker 1: Oh so hard, so hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I definitely count like being with my family
Speaker 3: as part of that too.
Speaker 1: But I also it's easy to sort of be just.
Speaker 3: Around you're at home family because obviously live with everyone,
Speaker 3: while also remembering you got to keep those social bonds alive.
Speaker 2: Too.
Speaker 4: But how do you know, how do you get validations?
Speaker 4: Like are you taking down when you're hanging out with them?
Speaker 1: Are you like? Okay?
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna take that one as a light on
Speaker 4: my comment there, and Victor, I know, just a smile
Speaker 4: on that. I'm gonna actually take that as a ha ha,
Speaker 4: because I need I need those I need the validation
Speaker 4: and I need it logged somewhere.
Speaker 3: I raised when I was talking about terryology. That counts
Speaker 3: as an emphasizing message.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, all right, Well, mine's gonna sound a little
Speaker 4: bit vague, a little bit out there, but I think
Speaker 4: underrated is Billy Joel's Greatest Hits album Wow. After that talk,
Speaker 4: I don't know, my friend and I got on the
Speaker 4: subject of greatest hits albums over the weekend. That and
Speaker 4: like the the impact that they had on my like
Speaker 4: music taste in middle school, Like Bob Marley, Billy Joel,
Speaker 4: Elton John, the Doors, Simon and Garfuncle Queen, like those
Speaker 4: greatest Hits albums were so load bearing for me, right right,
Speaker 4: that's I don't know, like they're the only reason I
Speaker 4: really got into that type of like classic rock music.
Speaker 4: Like I didn't I didn't have it in me to
Speaker 4: do a whole album of Simon and Garfunkel, or like
Speaker 4: Billy Joel in particular, like with all the like skips
Speaker 4: and like misses like Billy Joel's as we talked about
Speaker 4: last week, Billy Joel is not cool, and so he
Speaker 4: a full album where it's like there's a couple hits
Speaker 4: on here, and then there's this like concept song about
Speaker 4: you know where you are just yeah, being embarrassing. Like
Speaker 4: The Doors, I feel like are another example where I
Speaker 4: don't think I could have dealt with a Doors album
Speaker 4: that's like a couple of good songs and then I
Speaker 4: find them essentially pretty embarrassing. So I know, I don't
Speaker 4: know controversial opinion, but I don't.
Speaker 3: Get me employed through college, so I can't really can't
Speaker 3: bite the handle feet.
Speaker 4: Yeah wait, how did they keep you employed?
Speaker 3: I used to archive a lot of their photos that
Speaker 3: they had, like I was a job throughout. I got
Speaker 3: my dad a photographer, and his his like best friend
Speaker 3: in high school became their manager when they were in
Speaker 3: high school.
Speaker 4: Hey, man, I should I should shut the fuck up
Speaker 4: about the.
Speaker 3: I'm the same way. I only know their hits, Like
Speaker 3: if some weird ship came.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know what the fun this is?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like, I know I know all that I know the hits,
Speaker 3: but if you if you played like a fucking random
Speaker 3: track on like LA Woman, I'd be like, dude, I
Speaker 3: don't fun this.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I feel like greatest hits albums are like the
Speaker 4: Billy Joel of albums, where it's like we don't really
Speaker 4: like to admit how much we listened to them or
Speaker 4: like how important they were, but like they they were there,
Speaker 4: Like I feel like they got a lot of sales,
Speaker 4: a lot of listens, and then they just like disappeared,
Speaker 4: like at a certain point presumable, Like I think it's
Speaker 4: probably the Internet allows us to curate our own greatest
Speaker 4: hits album so it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Playlists, yeah yeah, or like you go to the.
Speaker 4: Artist page and like see what the most listened to
Speaker 4: tracks are. But it's that's also like not always that
Speaker 4: great a way of figuring out like what you're gonna
Speaker 4: like from an artist, Like one of the songs might
Speaker 4: have been featured in Trek three and have like a
Speaker 4: million listens.
Speaker 3: Like in the pre streaming era, I used to, like
Speaker 3: on bit torrent download, like if I was starting to
Speaker 3: get into a new artist or it was like into
Speaker 3: a new genre, I would always start with the greatest
Speaker 3: hits first, yeah, to kind of bring to my front
Speaker 3: like Okay, what is everybody fucking with from this artist?
Speaker 3: And then if I like those, then I'd be like Okay,
Speaker 3: now now I'll pirate the individual albums and then like
Speaker 3: start to educate myself a little bit more.
Speaker 1: So it's a good gateway. Yeah, it's a good gateway.
Speaker 4: And I feel like I don't I haven't like read
Speaker 4: that definitive article that's like all right, these are the
Speaker 4: best greatest hits albums that you know for that were
Speaker 4: very impactful, and you know, they're treated as kind of lame,
Speaker 4: which they are in a lot of ways. They're not
Speaker 4: for like the real heads who like have the deep
Speaker 4: knowledge of the artists. But at the same time, I
Speaker 4: don't know, so somebody.
Speaker 3: I feel like most people like believe that that Bob
Speaker 3: Marley album Legend is the only album he ever made. Yeah, yeah, man,
Speaker 3: I believe the first Legend.
Speaker 1: Man, it's like.
Speaker 3: One Love, Like I feel like I kind of know,
Speaker 3: you know how you do listen to a CD so much,
Speaker 3: you kind of know, like, okay when I put this
Speaker 3: one in One Love first?
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's like those are some of the albums that
Speaker 4: I know the best of any album.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not everybody can, like like I don't know the
Speaker 4: Beatles or Rolling Stone or like radioheads, like I'm sure
Speaker 4: they have greatest hits albums or like R. E. M.
Speaker 4: Because like those were artists who I was willing to
Speaker 4: just like go on a weird like Springsteen. I feel
Speaker 4: like he has the greatest hits album but it's not
Speaker 4: like that important of a thing because people are willing
Speaker 4: to like go on an album journey with those artists, But.
Speaker 1: Which is so funny for these artists.
Speaker 3: I can always picture there great like the Greatest Hits album,
Speaker 3: Like I know with Bob mart it's that legend one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's like this where he's posed his back to it
Speaker 3: with the guitar over right.
Speaker 4: But that's just a copy of the Born in the USA, right,
Speaker 4: or it's a reference.
Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's them like that that cover you know them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the black and white photo.
Speaker 4: I think it's like faded color, like seventies color photography.
Speaker 4: And oh yeah yeah Simon has the striped shirt with
Speaker 4: a blazer on. They Yeah, they got a real real
Speaker 4: specific look going.
Speaker 1: Of that hat. Mister Garfunkle. All right, what's uh, what's
Speaker 1: something you think? Overrated?
Speaker 3: Overrated pringles? Wow, okay, I'm just gonna go there, bro.
Speaker 3: I had a fucking rough weekend, all right. I'm not
Speaker 3: fucking around springles fuckets. I'm just they're just pretty unsatisfying,
Speaker 3: you know. Like I'm I'm really into actual potatoes these days.
Speaker 3: I love like a break your teeth because it's so
Speaker 3: natural type.
Speaker 1: Of hard kettle fried potato chip kind of thing.
Speaker 3: And I had some pringles and they were just like
Speaker 3: fucking just so unsatisfying, like for that chip feeling like
Speaker 3: I get that they have a little bit of crisp
Speaker 3: to them whatever, and the flavors or like, the flavors
Speaker 3: are fine, but like as a chip in the context
Speaker 3: of eating a chip.
Speaker 1: No. And then I looked into it and I didn't
Speaker 1: realize this.
Speaker 3: I know, obviously, like you look at the ships, You're like,
Speaker 3: that ain't a potato.
Speaker 1: But there it is only forty two potato.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it immediately dissolves. It's like a communion wafer of
Speaker 4: potato chips immediately dissolves you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like I guess like Procter and Gamble, they
Speaker 3: like they had some food scientists be like, hey man,
Speaker 3: people hate broken chips at the bottom of the bag.
Speaker 1: They're too greasy. Figure it out.
Speaker 3: And he's just like working with all these weird pastes
Speaker 3: and shit to arrive at Pringles. But the guy who
Speaker 3: invented it didn't actually end up making the final recipe
Speaker 3: because he couldn't like dial that and someone else came in.
Speaker 1: I was getting way too deep into Pringles lord.
Speaker 3: And but then I realized too, like they have this
Speaker 3: thing where they can't legally call themselves potato chips in
Speaker 3: some places and other places they do, but it's all
Speaker 3: based on like what is more advantageous to them, Like
Speaker 3: in the US, like they're like, bro, this is forty
Speaker 3: two percent potato, man, but you can't really be out
Speaker 3: here calling the shit potato chips. And then in the
Speaker 3: UK they're like, it's actually not a potato chip at
Speaker 3: all because they wanted to get around like a value
Speaker 3: added to VAT tax, like a v A T too,
Speaker 3: like side SEP.
Speaker 4: Tax like the story.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah, so it's uh, all that comes together
Speaker 3: to be like a not chippy thing, and the plain
Speaker 3: ones absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 4: Wow yeah, like.
Speaker 1: I can't they're just so I don't know, there's something.
Speaker 4: Like corn meal or whatever the fun they have in there,
Speaker 4: whatever makes up it's corn meal and like wheat meal.
Speaker 1: Wheat fuck you know, I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but yeah it's wat fuck.
Speaker 3: So yeah Pringles Nah, not thanks, I get the tube,
Speaker 3: but off you go off.
Speaker 4: And Brian the editor does have a theory that you
Speaker 4: just got your hands stuck in the tube and that's
Speaker 4: what made you mad this weekend, do you care to comment?
Speaker 1: First of all, Brian needs to fucking shut the fuck up.
Speaker 3: When I text him ship like a man, and I'm
Speaker 3: voice saying voice notes a man, I can't type right now?
Speaker 1: Please look up? Yeah, what the thing?
Speaker 4: You leave the message going for two more minutes as
Speaker 4: you're panicking.
Speaker 3: I'm fum, this is itw it all right?
Speaker 4: My over eight, I got a grab bag? Uh? How
Speaker 4: cool my life would be with superpowers? I think like
Speaker 4: I just overheard somebody like having that conversation about like,
Speaker 4: oh man like.
Speaker 1: Kids chess tournament.
Speaker 4: No, it was it was a podcast where people don't
Speaker 4: I used to like talking about this when I was
Speaker 4: a young man in my twenties, like, oh, but then
Speaker 4: I could do if I can fly, but I had
Speaker 4: some speed. We wrote a whole episode of After Hours.
Speaker 4: I think about, like, okay, flying, but flying on its own,
Speaker 4: you're just kind of hovering at the speed that you
Speaker 4: can walk, so that would actually kind of suck shit. Yeah,
Speaker 4: But I just I hadn't thought about it since I've
Speaker 4: like been an adult with kids, and I'm realizing, like
Speaker 4: it would just be another thing that I would like
Speaker 4: feel anxiety about and be like, oh man, I should
Speaker 4: really get out.
Speaker 1: And fly more.
Speaker 4: But I'm just potentially I need more sleep than I
Speaker 4: used to like I used to, like I had that.
Speaker 4: I had that month where I was like really just
Speaker 4: creating the habits. I was like, you know, getting out there,
Speaker 4: I was flying, but.
Speaker 3: It's actually like it's actually really cold up there, and
Speaker 3: it's like it's.
Speaker 1: I don't want to wear a down jacket when I'm
Speaker 1: flying in August. It just feels weird.
Speaker 4: I look stupid when I land, Like the whole half
Speaker 4: of the fun is that I look impressive.
Speaker 1: When I land, like okay, all right. And then the.
Speaker 4: Other one is just, uh, the antagonism towards fools that
Speaker 4: I grew up around. I I'm a fairly foolish person.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I fully identify as a full,
Speaker 4: but you know, I have my moments of foolishness. And
Speaker 4: I was realizing as I heard, I feel like love
Speaker 4: Shack is really being played a lot recently for some reason.
Speaker 4: I'm hearing at a lot of places realizing that the only
Speaker 4: posted rule in the love Shack is for fools to
Speaker 4: stay away. Sign says stay away full And then mister T,
Speaker 4: one of my like spiritual leaders when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: catch phrases just like feeling sorry for me right like damn,
Speaker 4: I don't know. Man, Like the Love Shack, it has
Speaker 4: very permissive, welcoming vibes, and yet the one posted rule
Speaker 4: no Fools sign says stay away fools.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: I always thought it was the house rules, but it's
Speaker 4: a but because love rules right right know, Man, I'm
Speaker 4: just like what was going on? Were no room for
Speaker 4: foolishness in the eighties nineties.
Speaker 1: I mean, even like what a fool believes The Doobie.
Speaker 4: Brothers one of the saddest songs ever. But that song
Speaker 4: is written from the perspective of the guy from Fargo
Speaker 4: when he like meets up with like it's He's like,
Speaker 4: it's it's just about a guy who's like foolish for
Speaker 4: thinking that he could like rekindle a romance with someone
Speaker 4: and like there was never romance there and then he
Speaker 4: like walk watches her walk away forever, like and they emphasize, uh, yeah,
Speaker 4: just how how sad this person's life is. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know, I just I I That's why I
Speaker 4: spent so much time trying to pretend like I was
Speaker 4: smart lying to people.
Speaker 3: You know, Damn, in the West Coast, we just embraced
Speaker 3: it full Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, and then things changed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we took it back, and now now we have
Speaker 3: Ludacris telling us to act a fool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, you know the pay I wonder does does
Speaker 1: that mean that?
Speaker 3: Is that the turning point when Ludacris now told us
Speaker 3: to act a fool?
Speaker 4: Yeah, ver not being a full Yeah, all right, I
Speaker 4: think so two thousand and three that year. Yeah, get
Speaker 4: over it. It's the two thousands.
Speaker 3: We're gonna post nine to eleven world, all right, we
Speaker 3: got other shit to deal with.
Speaker 4: By the way, I'm foolish, and I also think love rules. Okay,
Speaker 4: so maybe like talk to a couple fools before you
Speaker 4: make that your post of the rule. Anyways, all right,
Speaker 4: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 4: talk about the news, and we're back back. So over
Speaker 4: the weekend, there was a new story that was covered
Speaker 4: in a lot of mainstream publications as like four hostages
Speaker 4: were rescued by the idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but look below.
Speaker 4: The headlines and it appears to be two hundred and
Speaker 4: seventy Palestinians were killed. Yeah, according to you know, most
Speaker 4: on the ground authority.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Israel said less than one hundred were
Speaker 3: based on the images an absurd number. Based on their
Speaker 3: images or reports from people on the ground, this looks
Speaker 3: more like a massacre, not a heroic mission to save
Speaker 3: four people. One of the Agaza based journalists described as quote,
Speaker 3: children were shot dead, elderly people were shot dead, women
Speaker 3: were shot dead, and yeah, like you know, when you
Speaker 3: reference those headlines, it's clear that the dehumanization of Palestinians
Speaker 3: is just no issue for the media at all, because
Speaker 3: it's it's all being sort of obscured through this like
Speaker 3: sort of like, yeah, four people rescued rather than one
Speaker 3: hundred rids injured and killed. Yeah, the death poll is
Speaker 3: currently over thirty seven thousand, and this latest attack I
Speaker 3: think is only it's you know, the ongoing talk of
Speaker 3: like what's going on, ceasefire?
Speaker 1: Is it going to happen? You know. Hamas has said
Speaker 1: that this shit going on.
Speaker 3: They're only looking to secure They're like they need security
Speaker 3: for Palestinian people. Meanwhile, the Israelis continue to act like
Speaker 3: they are you know, they they use this rhetoric.
Speaker 1: Of bringing the hostages home.
Speaker 3: But it's like nonsense. You know, like at this point
Speaker 3: there have been so many offers to achieve that goal
Speaker 3: in exchange for a permanent ceasefire. But the priority for
Speaker 3: Natan Yahu and what remains of the War Cabinet is
Speaker 3: to keep the war going, and the hostages merely serve
Speaker 3: as like rhetorical cover for this genocidal campaign, like, well,
Speaker 3: we have to do this to get the hostages. We
Speaker 3: have to do this, We have to continue killing innocent
Speaker 3: people to get the hostages.
Speaker 4: Including killing innocent hostages. Yes, yes, but with via a
Speaker 4: policy where that is entirely predictable.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And sadly it looks like the Biden administration is, you know,
Speaker 3: just they're continuing to prove time and again that there's
Speaker 3: unwilling to actually use their significant leverage to change anything.
Speaker 1: Anthony B.
Speaker 3: Lincoln is in uh, I think Israel now to try
Speaker 3: and get talks going again.
Speaker 1: But I like it's it's just.
Speaker 3: So disheartening as just the carnage unfolds and then you
Speaker 3: just get these like gestures of trying to work towards
Speaker 3: a solution that just I'm not I'm not sure when
Speaker 3: it's going to come and at whose expense If it's
Speaker 3: going to be Biden losing election and continued people dying
Speaker 3: in Gaza, it's not.
Speaker 1: Looking not looking good. For for anyone.
Speaker 3: So yeah, we will see this week if there's any
Speaker 3: movement on a ceasefire. But God, from what from everything
Speaker 3: you can see, it does not look like that's the
Speaker 3: interest of Israel at the moment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems like they're working doing things to actively
Speaker 4: fuck that up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I think.
Speaker 3: And it's clear at this point from everything that's happening,
Speaker 3: it's clear they just want they want to clear gods
Speaker 3: out and take over. That's not there's no in there.
Speaker 3: The perfect situation for them. I don't think there would
Speaker 3: be a ceasefire.
Speaker 4: It was just here go out via Genesis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then and yeah, and then continue
Speaker 3: to annex more Land.
Speaker 1: And then there's even more violence in the West Bank.
Speaker 1: So there's a there's a lot happening there and uh
Speaker 1: we we again, we will see what comes of this
Speaker 1: eighth trip.
Speaker 3: I think of antity Blincoln to the region since October seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, who's more and more out on an island.
Speaker 4: His rivaled Ben against quit the war cabinet and yeah,
Speaker 4: so it's really I mean, it's not like what what
Speaker 4: he's doing is controversial inside Israel as well. It's like
Speaker 4: probably more controversial because people can be free to I
Speaker 4: don't know. Uh yeah, it's pretty contra virtual inside Israel,
Speaker 4: but in America. He got interviewed by doctor Phil earlier
Speaker 4: this Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think nan Yah was set to come to
Speaker 1: the US this week.
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, so that'll be very interesting also to see
Speaker 3: what what he uses that platform to do, because I
Speaker 3: don't I can't imagine if anything positive is gonna come
Speaker 3: from that.
Speaker 4: Did we talk about the Netnya who Doctor Phil interview?
Speaker 4: It's so it's such a weird fever dream like it's
Speaker 4: so strange.
Speaker 3: I mean, I knew he did it, and I was
Speaker 3: just like, I don't know know, No, I didn't, I
Speaker 3: didn't actually see it, but I mean I read about it,
Speaker 3: and it just like the way doctor Phil just was like, Hi,
Speaker 3: I'm going to agree with everything you say.
Speaker 1: That's the That'll be the tone of this interview.
Speaker 4: The interview drew widespread condemnation in Israel, where Netaho's been
Speaker 4: avoiding interviews with Israeli pressed for years. I was happy
Speaker 4: to sit down with Oprah's.
Speaker 3: Well because this is all because he's more, he knows
Speaker 3: that he needs the he needs the approval of audiences
Speaker 3: in the United States more than anything, right, because if
Speaker 3: the sentiment goes to I mean, it's already gone south,
Speaker 3: but if it becomes untenable for Congress and the White
Speaker 3: House to keep supporting this, that's the issue. And I
Speaker 3: think that's why he's coming to Congress too, because he's
Speaker 3: trying to shore up support for this just fucking diabolical
Speaker 3: shit that's happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: In his opening remarks of that interview, doctor Phil referred
Speaker 4: to Palestinians as occupying Gaza and asked whether Palestinians at
Speaker 4: large should be punished. So, yeah, that's who doctor Phil
Speaker 4: is these days. I didn't realize he had gone like
Speaker 4: full right wing fascist. There's always the leanings, but yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 3: He's he's just a terrible fucking guy and not even
Speaker 3: really the kind of doctor he tries to present himself as.
Speaker 1: So it's a it's all there, folks.
Speaker 4: He also So that was last month. This this weekend,
Speaker 4: he was trending for interviewing Trump and claiming that this
Speaker 4: interview was like too hot for TV and it had
Speaker 4: been banned from TikTok just because Trump's in it and
Speaker 4: they're so scared of Trump, which would be to believe
Speaker 4: promo video. Yeah, the promo video. You know, it'd be
Speaker 4: easier to believe it was like too hot for TikTok
Speaker 4: if a there wasn't already tons of Trump content on TikTok,
Speaker 4: including Trump's new TikTok account, and if the promo wasn't
Speaker 4: literally on Doctor Phil's TikTok like as we're saying this
Speaker 4: right now, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he he was even just like he's said,
Speaker 3: he was like he was basically agreeing with Trump that
Speaker 3: like that the his felony convictions were like bullshit.
Speaker 1: It was like a political hit. Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, straight up, He's like gone get a right, like
Speaker 4: far right.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean it makes sense that the regressive
Speaker 3: shit that he says anyway that he presents his fucking
Speaker 3: advice or even though the manner in which he like
Speaker 3: has blonde just to kind of make their lives worse.
Speaker 3: So yeah, expect nothing less from mister Phil McGrath.
Speaker 4: Mister Phil, mister Phil. One weird thing about the interview,
Speaker 4: I mean, the whole thing was unhinged. Trump really not
Speaker 4: looking great these days, was spent part of the time
Speaker 4: just being like so doctor Phil was like, revenge and
Speaker 4: retribution are unhealthy for the country, and you know, Donald
Speaker 4: doesn't have to get even, and Trump was like, revenge
Speaker 4: does take time. I will say that, And sometimes revenge
Speaker 4: can be justified, Phil, I have to be honest.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I can just feel it can be. It can be.
Speaker 1: So I agree. I believe revenge is a very healthy
Speaker 1: attitude to have.
Speaker 4: The thing I said two seconds ago, I disagree with that.
Speaker 4: I actually disagree.
Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I believe you are a
Speaker 3: very distinguished gentleman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, his hair is he like balding more?
Speaker 3: I mean, I know he's doing combvers and shit, but
Speaker 3: that at least the front that he used to have quafft. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's looking like fuzzy, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 3: it does have the definition it used to. It looks
Speaker 3: like put a GAUSSI and blur to use the photoshop.
Speaker 3: It's term on the top part of his head, and
Speaker 3: it's sloping shoulders. God, man, these are the what a
Speaker 3: fucking sad. I saw some political cartoon recently of just
Speaker 3: like just like these two old men on a debate
Speaker 3: stage and just like sort of you know, highlighting how
Speaker 3: old everyone is, or Trump's in a jumpsuit, like it
Speaker 3: felt like an orange jumpsuit and like, yeah.
Speaker 1: What a this is? This is what the two party
Speaker 1: system is offering people.
Speaker 4: The weird thing like that kept happening. You know, Trump,
Speaker 4: Trump's saying wildly offensive, inaccurate shit. But every time he
Speaker 4: would call uh, psychiatric institutions or psychiatric facilities mental institutions,
Speaker 4: they would put a chiron up with like a little
Speaker 4: asterisk saying psychiatric facility. It's like getting at the central
Speaker 4: lie of doctor Phil's world, which is like, no, this guy,
Speaker 4: you can trust him. He's all about psychiatry.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: And the you know, he's gonna he's gonna fact check.
Speaker 4: He's gonna fact check this president when he calls it
Speaker 4: a mental institution. But this is in a sentence where
Speaker 4: he says, why would someone want to open borders where
Speaker 4: they're coming in from jail's prisons, they're coming from mental institutions.
Speaker 4: That gets an astroisk. They're terrorists coming in by the thousands.
Speaker 4: No asterisks for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that one's good. That one's facts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that needs no clarification at all. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I believe that too, And I think that Joe Biden
Speaker 3: can stop this Robespierre esque reign of terror on you
Speaker 3: if he really wanted to.
Speaker 1: He said some shit like that about how Democrats could
Speaker 1: stop it.
Speaker 3: Wow, it's the fucking that's the whatever, dude, Glad, glad
Speaker 3: you had some some uh you know, what's that thing?
Speaker 1: Uh? Feedback loop? A bubble? What are we looking at?
Speaker 1: Echo chambers? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, echo chamber. Cope, time for
Speaker 1: you guys.
Speaker 4: Trump also in the news over the weekend. I hate
Speaker 4: to have two Trump stories on here, but everybody's talking
Speaker 4: about his rant from a rally in Vegas, in which
Speaker 4: he spent several minutes describing how he'd rather die by
Speaker 4: electrocution than risk being eaten by a shark. If you
Speaker 4: were in a sinking boat with a tremendously powerful battery,
Speaker 4: you're not experiencing deja vu. This same rant happened back
Speaker 4: in October, but I guess people kind of missed it then.
Speaker 3: Every he always it's anything that's electric. He always equates
Speaker 3: with becoming electrocuted. Yeah, Like, how do you do it?
Speaker 3: If it's in if it's rain, how do they make sure?
Speaker 1: Just shut up?
Speaker 3: But anyway, here's here he is at this like rally
Speaker 3: that was so hot they had like paramedics on standby
Speaker 3: because they wanted to make sure people didn't succumb to
Speaker 3: the heat.
Speaker 1: But anyway, here he is screaming about battery and shit.
Speaker 6: So I said, let me ask you a question, and
Speaker 6: he said, nobody ever asked this question, and it must
Speaker 6: because of Mit, my relationship to Mit. Very smart, he goes.
Speaker 1: I said, what would happen.
Speaker 6: If the boat sank from its weight and you're in
Speaker 6: the boat and you.
Speaker 1: Have the boat sank from its weight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a he's so smart that he doesn't understand
Speaker 4: the boats buoyancy, Like.
Speaker 1: This motherfucker does not trust a cruiser.
Speaker 3: It's not a boat if it doesn't fucking float on
Speaker 3: its own, just so you know, And by definition, that
Speaker 3: would just be detritus the ocean, at the bottom of
Speaker 3: the sea.
Speaker 6: And he was going, this tremendously powerful battery and the
Speaker 6: battery is now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately
Speaker 6: ten yards over there.
Speaker 1: Approximate by the way of shark attacks lately. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I said?
Speaker 6: A lot of shop.
Speaker 1: In the background.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I heard that.
Speaker 3: I'm from a landlocked state, but I know about the
Speaker 3: shark attacks.
Speaker 6: Yeah, really that angry They bit off the young lady's
Speaker 6: leg because of the fact.
Speaker 1: That they were They were not hungry, but.
Speaker 4: They misunderstood what who she was.
Speaker 1: These people are.
Speaker 5: Great, Wait, what so the sharks understand the motive that
Speaker 5: like people who get attacked by sharks are like, you
Speaker 5: know it's because the sharks taking Yeah, it's a mistake,
Speaker 5: do not hunt human.
Speaker 3: But I love though has the colloquial manner in which
Speaker 3: he's like, I was kicking it with those sharks. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they bit her, not because they were hungry. They
Speaker 3: told me this because it's real, folks.
Speaker 1: He said, there's no problem with sharks.
Speaker 6: They just didn't really understand a young woman swimming now
Speaker 6: who really got decimated in other people to.
Speaker 1: A lot of shocks.
Speaker 4: Next, I said, so.
Speaker 6: There's a shark ten yards away from the boat ten
Speaker 6: yards or here? Do I get electrocuted? If the boat
Speaker 6: is sinking, water goes over the battery the boat is sinking.
Speaker 6: Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted?
Speaker 6: Or do I jump over by the shark and not
Speaker 6: get electric it? Because I will tell you he didn't know.
Speaker 6: The entry said, you know, nobody's ever asked me that question.
Speaker 1: I said, I think it's a good question.
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of electric current.
Speaker 1: Coming through that water.
Speaker 6: But you know what I'd do if there was a
Speaker 6: shark or you get electrocuted. I'll take electrocution. Every single time.
Speaker 4: There's there's like one guy behind him being like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: he's speaking my language.
Speaker 3: Got to man this all the time. Do with my
Speaker 3: prayer group. We talked about this all the time at
Speaker 3: Bible study. I do not want to get have my
Speaker 3: whole shiit bit by a shark man.
Speaker 4: First of all, objectively the wrong answer because you get
Speaker 4: your ship bit. Yeah, your ship bit man, that's fucking amazing.
Speaker 4: That's the highest way that a human can go out
Speaker 4: the form of humanity.
Speaker 3: Do you think Trump like if you if he was
Speaker 3: in a in a pool and you brought over like
Speaker 3: a loose car battery and you brought it over to the.
Speaker 1: Point like don't don't kill me, don't give me, don't
Speaker 1: give me.
Speaker 4: But I feel like, does that does that even work?
Speaker 4: Like would you get I don't think batteries do that?
Speaker 1: Like No, I mean like i'd imagine like a covered battery.
Speaker 4: This is just so question and that's why it's a
Speaker 4: good question.
Speaker 1: And that's what I like.
Speaker 3: How he's like and the and he said, nobody's ever
Speaker 3: asked me that, right, and that's how I know it.
Speaker 3: So I thought I said it was a good question.
Speaker 3: Maybe it was so fucking ignorant. The guy had never
Speaker 3: heard such stupidity in his life, and it was like
Speaker 3: being polite and being like I've never heard before.
Speaker 1: Like if you watch.
Speaker 3: Kunk on Earth, you know when she says wild shit
Speaker 3: to these experts and they're like they're trying to be polite.
Speaker 1: They're like, well, that is an interesting theory. Yeah I've
Speaker 1: never heard that. Yeah, exactly, that's right. Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: But yeah, this is this is a recurring question. This
Speaker 4: is like I guess he claimed like it was so
Speaker 4: hot that the prompters went down, and this is just
Speaker 4: like what his brain goes to.
Speaker 1: He's like, sharks are scary, right.
Speaker 4: Apparently, Stormy Daniels claims that he said that he hopes
Speaker 4: all the sharks die, which he has basically admitted to.
Speaker 4: They're saying the other night, the sharks. They were saying, sharks,
Speaker 4: we have to protect them. I said, wait a minute, wait,
Speaker 4: they actually want to remove all the seals in order
Speaker 4: to save the shark. What I said, wait, don't you
Speaker 4: have that the other way around.
Speaker 1: Damn, damn.
Speaker 4: So I mean that's deep, that's deep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was even a thing about oh that's right.
Speaker 3: Remember like Elaine Chow, Mitch McConnell's wife, her sister died
Speaker 3: in a tesla earlier this year.
Speaker 4: But the executive yeah.
Speaker 1: Went into the water and was not electrocuted.
Speaker 3: And then like these articles came out and they're like,
Speaker 3: why you won't die in an ev if it goes
Speaker 3: in the water.
Speaker 1: But again, Trump.
Speaker 4: Doesn't need to bring that she died from drowning because
Speaker 4: the doors don't open when they get wet.
Speaker 1: That's not the problem is concerned as batteries.
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh brand the editor's point out that a marine
Speaker 4: battery uh kind of designed to be around water. It
Speaker 4: turns out we'll just short out and lose charge.
Speaker 1: If all right, well that's just like your opinion.
Speaker 4: That's just like your opinion. All right, let's uh, let's
Speaker 4: take a quick break, because I actually don't trust him,
Speaker 4: and I want to do some research.
Speaker 1: We'll do some additional research on the back of the
Speaker 1: napkin math. Really but what we'll be right back.
Speaker 4: And we're back, we're and yeah, it turns out, yeah,
Speaker 4: get it, getting electrocuted by a battery in the ocean
Speaker 4: would suck, and getting eaten by a shark would be cool.
Speaker 4: I just did research on my notes here, just.
Speaker 1: Do research in my mind, and I just thought it over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd still rather get.
Speaker 4: My ship take the electrocution every time.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 4: In the world of popular culture and tech, people are
Speaker 4: rage quitting a dope be over AI fears. So apparently
Speaker 4: some people instead of uh just moving scrolling down until
Speaker 4: you get to the box to check, to just get
Speaker 4: the text out of your way when you're service, Yeah,
Speaker 4: when you're doing in terms of service, apparently like you
Speaker 4: can read that text and there's a bull shuff in there.
Speaker 1: All right, what did you say?
Speaker 4: Well, so the people who did the reading must be
Speaker 4: like archaeologists or something. They excavated this message. And there
Speaker 4: is apparently stuff in the latest Adobe update about how
Speaker 4: they can access your content through both manual and automated
Speaker 4: methods such as for content slash review, and also mentioned
Speaker 4: that they could use machine learning in order to improve
Speaker 4: our services and software, all of which had people somewhat
Speaker 4: concerned that Adobe would be using private customer data to
Speaker 4: help train their AI, because that's exactly what it seems
Speaker 4: like their terms of service are making it possible for
Speaker 4: them to.
Speaker 3: Do you everyone's work space is now a node to
Speaker 3: feed our machine learning machine learning algorithm, and.
Speaker 4: It will be using your finger clicks as a battery
Speaker 4: to power our AI. But they so they later clarified
Speaker 4: that this was not the case. It's merely for moderating
Speaker 4: illegal content and it actually existed in the previous terms
Speaker 4: of service. They even mentioned machine learning in previous years.
Speaker 4: But that doesn't explain the part of the terms of
Speaker 4: service where they say that they have a worldwide royalty
Speaker 4: free license to reproduce your content.
Speaker 1: That's a little bit much.
Speaker 4: That feels That feels like a lot. That feels pretty specific.
Speaker 3: You're collaborating with Adobe now be like, oh yeah, man,
Speaker 3: that's ours too, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: The company are currently marketing their Firefly aid as a
Speaker 4: means for people with limited creative experience to quickly produce
Speaker 4: content at scale. So it's basically like you become part
Speaker 4: of our global creative hive mind where we use your
Speaker 4: work to fuel the work of lesser artists.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: Essentially, it's like it's.
Speaker 3: Like like how remember did you ever see like exit
Speaker 3: through the gift shop and they're showing like, mister brainwash that.
Speaker 1: Dude, yeah my favorite artist.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I got a cluster brainwash back here, that guy.
Speaker 3: I would also describe limited creative experience like so much goes,
Speaker 3: I want that put that there.
Speaker 1: But like with this style, and I think that's what.
Speaker 3: They're kind of saying is like you can just mister
Speaker 3: brainwash some shit now, like I want Simpson to look
Speaker 3: like David la Chappelle photography but in medieval times, go.
Speaker 4: We got an LCE here a limited creative experience?
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, hell ya?
Speaker 4: How do we make people creative at scale? That's always
Speaker 4: like the number one question that people love to say
Speaker 4: behind the doors closed doors of tech companies. So Firefly
Speaker 4: was trained on public domain material that happened to include
Speaker 4: AI images from one of their competitors, mid journey. So
Speaker 4: it's just like one big circle jerk of AI bullshit.
Speaker 4: So it makes sense that they would try to be
Speaker 4: getting original work from the people who are using their software, right,
Speaker 4: They need AI need inputs that aren't just like public domain.
Speaker 3: God, it's like it's just it's painful to watch this
Speaker 3: like insistence on the AI ship and it's gonna be
Speaker 3: all the pushback. Yeah, I know, waiting for like this
Speaker 3: person to like ascend, who like is the limited creative
Speaker 3: experience person who just like like harnessed AI to be
Speaker 3: like I actually use that to create these like fantastic images.
Speaker 3: I wrote this script, I've already got an egot all
Speaker 3: because I urged one with the AI.
Speaker 1: But I'm I don't know how close you are that.
Speaker 4: And when you look at like the careers of a
Speaker 4: lot of the tech CEO types, they're really you know,
Speaker 4: they they like get to know coding well enough, but
Speaker 4: they're not like actually talented coders. And then they just
Speaker 4: like appropriate other people's work. So it feels like this
Speaker 4: is a technology that is designed to do the thing
Speaker 4: that they value the most, which is, you know, taking
Speaker 4: other people's work and making it make them money. How
Speaker 4: do I make you make money for me without paying you?
Speaker 4: That is the question that I'm going to address. And
Speaker 4: my ted tough.
Speaker 1: Movies.
Speaker 4: Baby, we're always rooting for the movies at the box office. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so that they continue to be a thing.
Speaker 1: But it was not saw movie. I saw a movie
Speaker 1: this week what you see.
Speaker 3: Babes, babes, but a lot of Glazer Michelle Buteau film
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah about like best friends going through the
Speaker 3: arc of becoming parents. That was a nice one, does
Speaker 3: easy sub two hours, great film, just in and Out
Speaker 3: Baby wasn't It wasn't the most It wasn't the best script,
Speaker 3: I would say, But Michelle Buteaux and Alonaglaz are just
Speaker 3: so naturally funny that the dialogue, you know, how like
Speaker 3: you see those movies you're like, I don't know if
Speaker 3: it were two other people, I don't know if that
Speaker 3: movie would have been good, Like so much of it
Speaker 3: was carried by their charisma, but I saw, dude, there
Speaker 3: are people fucking breaking the doors down to go see
Speaker 3: Bad Boys in Imax.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So speaking of movies that wouldn't be as good
Speaker 4: with other two people. The Bad Boys, the Bad Boys
Speaker 4: as I call them, stormed the box office came through
Speaker 4: above expectations. People were thinking it would open in the
Speaker 4: forties and it actually did fifty six million dollars over
Speaker 4: the weekend. And this is I don't know, it's Will
Speaker 4: Smith's first theatrical post slap movie, and it's also just
Speaker 4: a franchise that people fucking love. Yeah, Bad Boys, people
Speaker 4: love Will Smith and Martin Lawrence together.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that is like a truth now, you know,
Speaker 3: like at first, like I don't know, we'll see how
Speaker 3: this does, and then it did well, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we're still in a country where Bad Boys still captures
Speaker 3: the hearts and minds of Americans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's I mean jm Our writer was pointing
Speaker 4: out that, like, Okay, when you look at the two
Speaker 4: bombs from last month, they were Garfield about uh, you know,
Speaker 4: Chris Pratt like a Garfield, a white guy in that
Speaker 4: version of things.
Speaker 1: And Garfield was canonically black.
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Like no, no, no, man, Like Jim Davis is like
Speaker 3: no man, yeah, man, he's a nubie and God stuck
Speaker 3: in the cat's body.
Speaker 4: Furios set in the world that critics have previously called
Speaker 4: eerily white, and then yeah, like it's just like Bad
Speaker 4: Boys for Life was one of the top grossing movies
Speaker 4: of the year in twenty twenty. Obviously, the pandemic had
Speaker 4: something to do with that, but it just reminds me
Speaker 4: of the Sony Hack email where the guy argues against
Speaker 4: a Denzel movie because other people are racist and you
Speaker 4: know they're not going to respond well to a Denzel
Speaker 4: action franchise, and then that movie fucking killed and the
Speaker 4: whole franchise does incredibly well.
Speaker 3: I'm just glad that the acab sentiment didn't reach bad boys.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: You know, a cab does not include bad boys.
Speaker 1: This in this just this weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a cab does not include bad boys, does not
Speaker 3: include Mike Lowry.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's right, Akab. No, a cab does not include.
Speaker 3: All cops are bad boys. Yes, that's what you have
Speaker 3: to do. This this last weekend, all cops were bad boys. Okay,
Speaker 3: they had to pass well bad boys in theaters. Do
Speaker 3: you think cops like bad boys?
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a great que sick ass cop film.
Speaker 4: That's a great question that we'll be covering on tomorrow's
Speaker 4: episode when we have a cop on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to coolest stuff you can do as a cop.
Speaker 1: Tune in for that expert episode.
Speaker 4: And finally, Julia Louis Dreyfuss has pushed back on some
Speaker 4: of Jerry Seinfeld's bullshit, like that Seinfeld cast has been
Speaker 4: taking some very public l's Seinfeld's debacle filled press tour
Speaker 4: for Unfrosted, where he like went on Barry Weiss's podcast
Speaker 4: and was like I missed the days when you could
Speaker 4: be a real man. And Michael Richards recent promotion efforts
Speaker 4: for his memoir, which found him going on the Jesse
Speaker 4: Waters Show, Dude, just go.
Speaker 3: Michael Richards. I'm sorry, bro, you you don't know how
Speaker 3: to You don't know. There's so many these fucking celebrities
Speaker 3: that think like re quote unquote rehabbing your career is
Speaker 3: just to like self exile and be out of the
Speaker 3: headlines and then hoping that the collective memory has shifted
Speaker 3: by the time it's it's like there a moment arises
Speaker 3: for you to sell something again and be like they've
Speaker 3: maybe forgot and be like, hey, man, remember me from

Speaker 4: opinion that political correctness is somehow killing comedy going it.

Speaker 3: the really basic observation, you know what I mean.
