Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Shore Trenders.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, buddy, god, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sure his other son canned. Can Dion to be like,
Speaker 2: you're not mom, bro, I'm not having the same thing
Speaker 2: that happened to Shador for real?
Speaker 1: Yeah you like, do you mean cand Like.
Speaker 2: I think like he's not represented, Like I think Dion
Speaker 2: was sort of like representing all of his kids, okay,
Speaker 2: And he was like, yeah, nah, there.
Speaker 1: For people who don't know. Deon Sanders one of the
Speaker 1: best NFL football players of our lifetime. Uh played wide
Speaker 1: receiver and uh was a defensive player, which like never happens,
Speaker 1: but he was awesome at that and also played baseball.
Speaker 1: Yeah and uh, but like one of the best defensive players,
Speaker 1: like one of the best at his position of all time,
Speaker 1: and has gone on to become was like a big,
Speaker 1: larger than life personality, kind of like Charles Barkley adjacent,
Speaker 1: I guess, like kind of controversial character at the time
Speaker 1: and then big media personality and has gone on to
Speaker 1: coach the University of Colorado. They are a really fun team.
Speaker 1: They've had more success than a lot of people expected
Speaker 1: them to. And his son was his starting quarterback for
Speaker 1: his two years at Colorado and they had a lot
Speaker 1: of success, and he looked pretty good and via his
Speaker 1: you know, he was a big like hype guy. He
Speaker 1: you know earned it with his career. But he told
Speaker 1: everybody that his son was going to go like top five,
Speaker 1: and his son went to top hundred and fifty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so it was, you.
Speaker 2: Know, it was a bummer for his son five rounds
Speaker 2: when I said five, when I said top within the
Speaker 2: first five rounds.
Speaker 1: And like there was also a really shitty thing where
Speaker 1: like the son of one of the assistant coach for
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, the defensive coordinator, like got his hands
Speaker 1: on the phone number for like their draft room, for
Speaker 1: for the Sam draft room, and like called him. We're like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's the Saints, We're about to pick you. So like
Speaker 1: congratulations because the Saints were on the clock. And then
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't go for another couple of rounds.
Speaker 1: So it's real fucked up and yeah, sad story. But
Speaker 1: also I'm excited to see him prove the haters wrong
Speaker 1: in the.
Speaker 2: To for like a team that Deon Sanders played for
Speaker 2: also and just you know, coming from someone from that
Speaker 2: organization whatever I mean, everyone's like shitting on that kid now,
Speaker 2: and I think he said sorry, but like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here we are shador YouTube prank generation, These dang
Speaker 1: kids with their YouTube pranks.
Speaker 2: Good luck, good luck in Cleveland. Fam.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's in Cleveland who definitely need a quarterback, but
Speaker 1: he was the second quarterback that they drafted. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think I think he'll be better than people expect,
Speaker 1: and he obviously.
Speaker 2: Has a lot to prove. It's more about his mental
Speaker 2: Like if I can totally see how you'd be defeated
Speaker 2: by that go falling so far down in the draft
Speaker 2: when you have such high expectation for yourself. But you
Speaker 2: we see this a lot with certain players, like that
Speaker 2: low draft number or that low position in the draft
Speaker 2: can maybe spark a fire to put yourself.
Speaker 1: And Tom Brady can name every player that was drafted
Speaker 1: before him, which is like over a hundred.
Speaker 2: Like fucking Aria Stark or some ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exact list. Yeah, but that that fuels the greats.
Speaker 1: Uh they have personality disordered?
Speaker 2: Yeah, completely unwell men, yes, fuel who just happened to
Speaker 2: have a very high functioning athletic corpse to act out
Speaker 2: their egos with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of unwell, men, I do just have to
Speaker 1: We're not going to talk about it at length, because
Speaker 1: Miles still hasn't seen episode two of season two of
Speaker 1: the rehearsal, but this headline blew my fucking mind. So
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say the headline. We're not going to
Speaker 1: talk about it anymore. But Paramount reportedly had no idea
Speaker 1: Nathan Fielder was going to do that in episode two.
Speaker 1: If you've seen episode you see the Yeah, that's still
Speaker 1: it's so funny. I'm this It is a detail that
Speaker 1: like I wish I knew because that that was my question.
Speaker 1: I was like, wo how did they get them to
Speaker 1: fucking sign off on this? And the answer is they
Speaker 1: did not. But I mean he's always been able to
Speaker 1: like fuck with corporations at a level that the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party isn't even willing to do, you know, never what they.
Speaker 2: Even them famously fucking with the corporate with the corporations
Speaker 2: in a different way.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, they have a lot of power though
Speaker 1: this is he is but one man and he dumb
Speaker 1: dumb Starbucks. Yeah, maybe that's it. He just has that
Speaker 1: escape hatch where he's like, I don't know, I could
Speaker 1: go to Canada. And make good ship and the government
Speaker 1: there just like pays you to make.
Speaker 2: Art right right. They helped finance my early work.
Speaker 3: Fantastic.
Speaker 1: Speaking of art, a Minecraft movie, Miles is a sensation.
Speaker 1: Uh and with with the youngers, I've even I've talked
Speaker 1: to you know that this is a thing. A conversation
Speaker 1: that's always happened in the background among parents is like Jesus,
Speaker 1: did you see Inside Out too? That that thing was
Speaker 1: a piece of shit? You know, that that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But like also like when there's a good one, you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: the Sonic movies actually pretty fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going without my kids tonight.
Speaker 1: That a Minecraft movie is supposedly I've heard and I
Speaker 1: have not seen it yet, but my kids loved it,
Speaker 1: which they love most movies they've ever seen, but they
Speaker 1: fucking love a Minecraft movie. They see Minecraft movie with
Speaker 1: Who did they see with their friend?
Speaker 2: Like they did they sit? Did they behave?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I don't want to don't I
Speaker 2: don't want to know.
Speaker 1: Were they okay? Yeah, I think they behaved? They think
Speaker 1: there are more the type of people are just like
Speaker 1: you can't get their attention while they're watching a movie
Speaker 1: let alone, like them trying to like do something else.
Speaker 2: They're just like a little kit So yeah, the warming
Speaker 2: glow of the screen. Yes, yes, take all the attention.
Speaker 1: But they loved it, Like it was to the point
Speaker 1: that they had an extra day off school and like
Speaker 1: all of they were like all of our friends have
Speaker 1: seen this shit, like we need to see this movie
Speaker 1: or else we can't talk to people anymore. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but they loved it. And now Warner Brothers is trying
Speaker 1: to get another round of people to watch the movie
Speaker 1: or rewatch the movie by doing a special block party
Speaker 1: screening series of screenings in which people are encouraged to
Speaker 1: sing and talk along with the movie because the movie's
Speaker 1: very heavily memed and like, the screenings have been notoriously
Speaker 1: loud and full of people throwing popcorn at the screen
Speaker 1: and shit like that, which sucks for theater employees. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess they're baking that in to the into the
Speaker 1: price of admission. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they are probably not still the same.
Speaker 1: I don't know, y'all, you guys will figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, maybe this does feel like an opportunity
Speaker 2: for a group outing to just go if the shows
Speaker 2: are actually filled out with kids, because I'm wondering at
Speaker 2: that point, is this going to actually like re energize
Speaker 2: the box office for them?
Speaker 1: Do we bring the kids or are we going as
Speaker 1: adults surrounded by streaking.
Speaker 2: Adults to really upset the parents that are there with
Speaker 2: their kids. To when it's always weird and adults just
Speaker 2: came in and why are they filming everyone?
Speaker 1: When the Lego movie first came out, I went and
Speaker 1: saw that and I was like, the only it was
Speaker 1: before I had kids, And I was like, God, damn,
Speaker 1: I either need to like have kids or just like
Speaker 1: shielding your eyes, like walking into the ocean with rocks
Speaker 1: in my pockets, Like this is like, don't to just
Speaker 1: be here by myself as an adult with like a
Speaker 1: bunch of parents and there.
Speaker 2: It does suck, Like in that context, immediately, who's this guy,
Speaker 2: who's this guy? Who's this guy? Who's the guy who's
Speaker 2: he with? What you doing here with all these kids?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. Uh. The writer Charles Romesco
Speaker 1: suggested that this was basically the popcorn throwing equivalent of
Speaker 1: a safe injection site. He responded to the article, announcing
Speaker 1: it by saying looking deep within and concluding that that
Speaker 1: that my belief in safe injection sites means I must
Speaker 1: support this on principle as well. That's roscot into the crevasse.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well, and what's the equivalent of having narcan too?
Speaker 1: Just having a parent there to just yank yourself yank
Speaker 1: your ass out there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did I tell you?
Speaker 1: This is also I mean, this is happening with all
Speaker 1: the you know, Wicked and the concert movies where it's
Speaker 1: just like everybody's singing at the top their lungs, so
Speaker 1: you have to like create special screenings for you Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, it's like it's like then they realized, like, oh right,
Speaker 2: people are gonna sing in this, all right? What if
Speaker 2: we do as singing? Like I remember, like, was it
Speaker 2: the Greatest Showman Too? Did that? Oh yeah? And I
Speaker 2: was so I didn't realize how big.
Speaker 3: That movie was.
Speaker 2: I'm like, is this justified? And then cut to people
Speaker 2: loving it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right, Hugh Jack butt up, bah bah bah. All right,
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about some shocking news about the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: And we're back we're back.
Speaker 1: And yeah, So for over a year, Biden and his
Speaker 1: administration repeatedly claimed working tirelessly, despite the fact that not
Speaker 1: being tired isn't the characteristic anybody associates.
Speaker 3: With Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, true, They just.
Speaker 1: Had to they had to come up with like they
Speaker 1: were like this kills two birds with one stone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looked like that because he's running himself ragged
Speaker 2: trying to get a ceasefire deal in place. And I
Speaker 2: think anybody who was present and observed the news over
Speaker 2: the course of the you know, from October seventh on,
Speaker 2: and you're like, I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't seem like seem like it not like
Speaker 1: Israel is indicating any sort of intention to stop. Or
Speaker 1: you know, either you're like behind the scenes and they're
Speaker 1: just fucking ignoring you while pretending that they're listening to you,
Speaker 1: or you're lying, and it turns out it is the latter.
Speaker 1: They were lying. Because so there's this new article from
Speaker 1: drop site News that is translating a bombshell investigation by
Speaker 1: Israel's Channel thirteen that is revealing that the Biden administration
Speaker 1: was just completely apathetic on the whole genocide issue, and
Speaker 1: we're completely just like lying to our faces. The wildest
Speaker 1: part of this report for me is a former Israeli
Speaker 1: ambassador claimed that quote, God did the State of Israel
Speaker 1: a favor that Biden was the president during this period
Speaker 1: because Israel fought in Gaza for over a year and
Speaker 1: the administration never came to us and said cease fire. Now,
Speaker 1: it never did, and that's not to be taken for granted.
Speaker 2: To have that worded as some kind of like gratitude
Speaker 2: journaling sentence is so vile.
Speaker 4: To hear, so disgusting, like they're even like, whoae, I
Speaker 4: thank god that it was Joe Biden, who is so
Speaker 4: indifferent to genocide.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Yeah, I mean again every time, and it continues
Speaker 2: to this day that there's still non stop military operations
Speaker 2: happening regardless for any any consideration for innocent human life.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think the closest thing we got was
Speaker 2: when we heard Biden might pause certain weaponshipments and then
Speaker 2: kept other ones going. That was like the closest we got.
Speaker 2: Everything else was like, oh, he talked to BBNN and Yahoo,
Speaker 2: and yeah, he talked to him and agreed with everything
Speaker 2: that was happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were reportedly talks about Biden giving a speech
Speaker 1: to quote pressure Israel politically, which might trigger quote elections there,
Speaker 1: and then Biden ultimately quote backed off, back off Joe.
Speaker 1: The Biden administration also shielded Israel from allegations of war
Speaker 1: crime he saw that, prompting a major backlash from staffers
Speaker 1: in the State Department. This was actually reported on already,
Speaker 1: but lawyer Stacey Gilbert resigned in protests because she was like,
Speaker 1: they're basically covering up war crime times for Israel at
Speaker 1: a time when the world is crying out for somebody
Speaker 1: to fucking do something. And according to Biden's own officials,
Speaker 1: NETNA who deliberately tanked hostage negotiations fearing a deal would
Speaker 1: force him to end the war. And just at one point, guys, Biden,
Speaker 1: Biden hung up on it. He said, he called him
Speaker 1: full of s H I M during a phone call
Speaker 1: ship and hung up on him full of sugar, And
Speaker 1: he hung up on him, and he then just continued
Speaker 1: to support him and resumed weapons.
Speaker 2: This is such a this is such a fucking stain
Speaker 2: on the country and such a stain on the Democrats.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable that they're I mean, it's not unbelievable. The easiest
Speaker 2: thing right now is to be like, Okay, let's listen
Speaker 2: to the working class. Okay, clearly like there's some sugar
Speaker 2: energy there, but like we can get over the working
Speaker 2: class part and maybe bring some equity to like working people.
Speaker 2: But like when it comes to like imperial and the
Speaker 2: brutalization of no, no, no no, that's just something we're
Speaker 2: not going to be able to do. However, they don't
Speaker 2: realize how many people look at what's happening, are intelligent
Speaker 2: enough to connect the dots, and how deflating that is
Speaker 2: to see. Yeah, and will not. I'm sure they are
Speaker 2: not going there. This is going to this is just
Speaker 2: going to be this thing that they continue to are.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean this is a great opportunity for
Speaker 1: AOC because I mean, like AOC during her d NC speech,
Speaker 1: basically parroted all all this shit. You know that working tirelessly.
Speaker 1: I think she specifically said the line working tirelessly like
Speaker 1: Harris and Biden are working tirelessly to get a ceasefire.
Speaker 1: The Harris campaign then used that in promotional TikTok posts
Speaker 1: in order to quote when over younger left leaning voters
Speaker 1: concerned about Gaza. Let's a lie that with this talking point.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people like Matt Lek wrote A
Speaker 1: good a time any for AOC to apologize for the
Speaker 1: ceasefire lie and throw Biden and Harris into the past
Speaker 1: where they belong. It just seems very straightforward. Just coming
Speaker 1: out and saying I was wrong, they lied is truly
Speaker 1: feels like the least she could do, and anything less
Speaker 1: than that, it really does start to feel like the
Speaker 1: same old DNC bullshit status quo.
Speaker 2: This is the thing too, there's polling that shows even
Speaker 2: Democratic voters want the opposite of the status quo. And
Speaker 2: I think largely the status quo is to still fear
Speaker 2: outside spending against you if you take a position that
Speaker 2: goes against an interest group or lobby like APAK or something,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like kat Abu Gazola, who's
Speaker 2: running in Illinois again, I mean like formally against Crows
Speaker 2: the show. She Nope, doubt she's Palestinian. She's very outspoken
Speaker 2: about what her positions are, and she even like in
Speaker 2: talking to her about like what the campaign was, She's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: APAX probably is gonna throw a ton of money trying
Speaker 2: to like get like knock me out of this race.
Speaker 2: But again, all of these people who are coming as outsiders.
Speaker 2: There's even another guy in New York who's running for
Speaker 2: mayor who's also very outspoken. He's completely unshook by being like,
Speaker 2: I'm going to stand on the fact that I believe,
Speaker 2: you know, like Palestinian people deserve to not be indiscriminately
Speaker 2: killed and have you know, a shot to live a
Speaker 2: normal life. This is like, these are the sort of
Speaker 2: things that I think make someone different, is to be
Speaker 2: able to speak without the fear of what outside spending
Speaker 2: is going to do if you if you preemptively cave
Speaker 2: to outside spending, you've already compromised any beliefs you have.
Speaker 2: That's the guy zorin mom Danni is the guy who's
Speaker 2: running for mayor who's also just just just saying it,
Speaker 2: just being like, this is why are we doing this?
Speaker 2: It doesn't even have to be an argument as specific
Speaker 2: broadly just to appeal to people's sense that, you know,
Speaker 2: we really shouldn't be having a hand and just arming
Speaker 2: a state that is just hell bent on killing innocent people.
Speaker 2: That's just like a bad as a waste of money. Yeah,
Speaker 2: no for real, like, and then they can use all
Speaker 2: the other talking points they want to paint you as
Speaker 2: some kind of like weird sympathizer with terrorism. But again,
Speaker 2: you're just talking about broadly.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 2: I think this is the other thing when somebody like
Speaker 2: progressive ideas, we're just talking about human rights, right, you know,
Speaker 2: and not fearing interest groups coming to you know, spend
Speaker 2: you into the ground because you say universal health care
Speaker 2: these other things, or Palestinians deserve rights. That's the kind
Speaker 2: of upending of the status quo we desperately need. And
Speaker 2: to have people still straddling I get that that's just
Speaker 2: how the machine works. And you are looking at it like, yeah,
Speaker 2: because I'm sure Apak would spend every dollar they had
Speaker 2: to just completely vaporize AOC if she said something like that.
Speaker 2: But you also have to trust that maybe saying that
Speaker 2: we'll bring more interest to your campaign from people who
Speaker 2: have you know, who are looking for something that seems
Speaker 2: like it's going to be something different than what we've
Speaker 2: been offered every time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of people fighting for the status quo, Canada
Speaker 1: has elected I mean, so they didn't elect the most
Speaker 1: conservative option, so that's good for them. They they elected
Speaker 1: their new prime minister, who is Mark Carney, who was
Speaker 1: already he was just like Trudeau's successor, and it's a
Speaker 1: pretty shocking turn of events. When Trudeau resigned, the election
Speaker 1: was basically like he resigned because his party was like
Speaker 1: they were getting smoked and the election seemed like a
Speaker 1: layup for the Conservatives. But as we've covered before, Trump
Speaker 1: basically changed everything, and the Conservative leader, Pierre Paulyiever, whatever,
Speaker 1: how are the fuck you? I'm never gonna have to
Speaker 1: pronounce Median listeners we are, That's how American we are.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we're Pierre Pouliver. He just didn't push back on
Speaker 1: trump Ism the way that Carney did. H He also
Speaker 1: like trump Ism was so toxic that we talked about
Speaker 1: how the Liberal Party actually was putting out fake Trumpish
Speaker 1: buttons at the Conservative events to make it seem like
Speaker 1: they were more trumpy than they actually were, just because
Speaker 1: that's how like fucking toxic Trump's brand is inside Canada.
Speaker 1: The Conservative guy who was running for prime minister lost
Speaker 1: his own seat to the Liberals, which is pretty humiliating.
Speaker 2: He even tweeted on the day of the election, like
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, stay out of our elections and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're cook it.
Speaker 1: Tell already, Tell him, buddy, tell him, Steve Dave. But
Speaker 1: so the bad news is that the election was also
Speaker 1: catastrophic for the more progressive NDP party. So they're basically
Speaker 1: doing what the US did when you know, twenty twenty
Speaker 1: very scared of Trump and just trying to get the
Speaker 1: fuck away from him and being like, well, we've got
Speaker 1: to go with the safer option. And so even though
Speaker 1: they have a NDP party that is like progressive and
Speaker 1: actually left leaning, basically NDP voters were so scared about
Speaker 1: Trump and what would happen with a conservative government and
Speaker 1: power that they just caved and voted liberal. And the
Speaker 1: liberal or the actual like kind of left leaning party
Speaker 1: is projected to lose seventeen of their twenty four seats,
Speaker 1: which will cost they won't even be an official party
Speaker 1: because that's so bad. The guy yag Meet Singh, who
Speaker 1: we've talked about before, was like a guy was like, boo,
Speaker 1: you're a loser, dude, And he was like, would you
Speaker 1: say say that to my face? And the guy like
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't say it, dude, I would never
Speaker 1: lie about this. I did not say anything even that,
Speaker 1: like got uh, he got truce and lost his seat
Speaker 1: and resigned as a leader on election night. So it
Speaker 1: just feels like, I don't know. Trump's power is like
Speaker 1: this version of Americanism that is like spreading like a
Speaker 1: virus where like everybody's like Jesus christ Man, well we
Speaker 1: can't can't have that. But like it's also people keep
Speaker 1: making the mistake of trying to fight Trumpism with neoliberalism.
Speaker 1: And Trumpism is a response to neoliberalism.
Speaker 2: Right, but then but neoliberalism takes Trump as a gift
Speaker 2: to be like, oh great, but you kick the can
Speaker 2: down the road because we'll go. You don't want it
Speaker 2: to be like this. We don't want this guy here.
Speaker 2: I mean, just the historical lessons are so clear, you know,
Speaker 2: like when you talk about how you get into fascism,
Speaker 2: Like even though our current like form of American fascia,
Speaker 2: quasi fascism, whatever you want to call it, isn't really
Speaker 2: like anything else before it, the road to it mirrors
Speaker 2: the others pretty perfectly, you know what I mean. Terrible
Speaker 2: economic conditions lead to hyperinflation, Banking systems start getting strained
Speaker 2: or collapse. You have fucking food shortages, terrible unemployment, and
Speaker 2: then that rolls the red carpet out for fascism. And
Speaker 2: this was the case in both Germany and Italy after
Speaker 2: the First World War. I mean, and in those instances too,
Speaker 2: you had a bunch of unemployed soldiers who are just
Speaker 2: kind of being like, I need something to do.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 2: So again, the lesson I think is it's in America,
Speaker 2: we do a.
Speaker 1: Great job of taking care of our soldiers so.
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, and they're not up to anything once they
Speaker 2: get out either. But I mean, I think again it's
Speaker 2: the ignoring of the inequality that leads you straight there,
Speaker 2: just straight there. Like I said, I think we were
Speaker 2: saying this the last time when the polls started to
Speaker 2: shift after Trump to Canada. Don't just kick the can
Speaker 2: down the road. I mean, I now know that maybe
Speaker 2: the wrong people are empowered to really change the status quo.
Speaker 2: But you like, we're we're losing our soul here because
Speaker 2: we didn't address inequality in a way that was tangible.
Speaker 2: And that's really that's it's just right, it's right there,
Speaker 2: it's right there, Canada.
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking Canada is four years behind the US
Speaker 1: in terms of like the political reaction to all this shit.
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping Mexico is like eight years ahead because
Speaker 1: they've they've had a actual reaction that deals with neoliberalism
Speaker 1: head on that you know, not perfect, but definitely.
Speaker 2: At least acknowledges.
Speaker 1: Yeah that maybe definitely complex, says, but yeah, they at
Speaker 1: least are acknowledging what the problem is, which is good.
Speaker 1: All Right, those are some of the things that are
Speaker 1: trending on this Tuesday, April twenty ninth. We're back tomorrow
Speaker 1: with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then,
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
Speaker 1: your vaccines way still can, get your flu shots still can.
Speaker 1: Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bite Bite,
