Speaker 1: He is back. It's wonderful to have you back. How
Speaker 1: are you doing.
Speaker 2: Great, It's great to feedback, right moving in the invigoring nightmare.
Speaker 2: What it's you know, it's it could be worse. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm in a new city and I'm very much and
Speaker 2: you knowing being back in a city because I was
Speaker 2: living rurally and it got a real boring.
Speaker 1: So you're living in one of those spider holes that
Speaker 1: they like, the one they dug Saddam out of.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was living in Saddam spider hole actually.
Speaker 1: And that you know, you get what you paid for there, obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, the name recognition does help. But no, speaking
Speaker 1: of dearly departed nineties icons, we got Saddam, we got
Speaker 1: oj now has fled this mortal coil. You don't flee it,
Speaker 1: you shrug it off, sloth it off. I don't know,
Speaker 1: slough shed sloff off this mortal coil. O. J. Simpson
Speaker 1: died on Wednesday, and we just found out today this morning,
Speaker 1: and almost immediately Norm MacDonald went viral, just an eleven
Speaker 1: minute compilation of old weekend updates. It really took me
Speaker 1: back to a time when it was like brave to
Speaker 1: be like this guy fucking murdered some people, right, and
Speaker 1: it's like yes, and the audience was like hey, like
Speaker 1: people just didn't didn't really know how to deal with that.
Speaker 1: What were the people what were the holdout like I
Speaker 1: guess I don't remember that time that well, what were
Speaker 1: the people who were like booing those jokes booing exactly?
Speaker 1: Were they like that give them a give them a break.
Speaker 2: It was just a few pedants in the audience who
Speaker 2: were like, look, he was like acquitted actually even though
Speaker 2: highly fucking suspicious.
Speaker 1: Still, I mean what this was like during the trial.
Speaker 1: This was like when he was on trial. I think
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a lot of naked gun fans in
Speaker 2: the audience. I guess a lot of Naked Gun, and
Speaker 2: I was I was like, why is he? Why is
Speaker 2: he on trial?
Speaker 1: It's a great performance he did. He did really good
Speaker 1: work in Naked Gun and was going to let his
Speaker 1: subsequent murdering of two people change change that fact.
Speaker 2: Yeah, separate the art from the artists, you know.
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's the place that like, I'm fine, h
Speaker 1: you know, fuck Wody Allen Films, but please don't make
Speaker 1: me change my opinion of OJ's performances in Naked Gun
Speaker 1: and what was the what was the disaster movie that
Speaker 1: he did? Like Skyscraper? Was that him? I feel like
Speaker 1: he did a sky like a tower of Terror or.
Speaker 2: Something, towering, towering inferno.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right. Also, you know, just to
Speaker 1: make sure you know that like your uncles and aunts
Speaker 1: who you stopped talking to a couple of years back,
Speaker 1: are okay? A lot. There was a the usual chorus
Speaker 1: of people suspecting that the COVID vaccine was behind his death.
Speaker 2: Still how I might dude twenty twenty four give that
Speaker 2: shit up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. On CNN there there was one anchor who like
Speaker 1: gave this anecdote about how like humble he was during
Speaker 1: his two thousand and eight trial like they were like.
Speaker 2: I'm not black, I'm oj yeah.
Speaker 1: Like at that time, and that's how you knew he
Speaker 1: was a good guy. But it was just like they
Speaker 1: were just treating it like another celebrity passed away, you know.
Speaker 1: And I remember and he came up to me and
Speaker 1: was just so humble. And so there's nothing that will
Speaker 1: humble a person like committing a double homicide, you know,
Speaker 1: because it really like makes you realize, wow, I can
Speaker 1: I can go there, you know what I mean, Nothing more.
Speaker 2: Humble than making a whole choke book about how you
Speaker 2: theoretically might have done the murder which that you were
Speaker 2: acquitted for. Yeah, very humble, yeh I did it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there. Yeah, it was just it was a
Speaker 1: weird morning of tributes, a lot of like, you know,
Speaker 1: football players being like, hey, one of the greats, like
Speaker 1: not even opening with say what you will about but
Speaker 1: just like you know, just focusing on his on field achievements.
Speaker 1: The Pro Football Hall of Fame even issued a lengthy
Speaker 1: press release that talked about his athletic career, even his
Speaker 1: second career and acting and broadcasting, and then they, I
Speaker 1: guess they just stopped paying attention at that point.
Speaker 2: You can never take his athletic achievements away from him.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, they did it, and.
Speaker 1: That's what made him so bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so cut him away. He hit that Heisman heist?
Speaker 2: Which can we get the Heisman heist?
Speaker 1: Heisman hest the Ocean's eleven Oceans thirty two? Wasn't that
Speaker 1: his number anyways? Monkey Persons having a moment. This is
Speaker 1: just something that occurred to me too late. On tomorrow's episode,
Speaker 1: you will hear one of our guests talk about their obsession.
Speaker 1: You'll never guess who this guest is. Their obsession with
Speaker 1: a human z like a chimpanzee human documentary. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: Chris Crofton. We end up spending a lot of time
Speaker 1: on that. I come through and talk about how like
Speaker 1: there's this new Sasquatch movie coming out, Sasquatch Sunset Sunrise starting.
Speaker 2: I'm surprise it's not Harry Andersons.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I just found out about that one. But
Speaker 1: I there's a there's a damn movie coming out this
Speaker 1: weekend called monkey Man that I totally forgot to mention,
Speaker 1: and also a new Planet of the Apes movie I
Speaker 1: think super producer Victor was pointing out and Kong versus
Speaker 1: Godzilla cong versus Godzilla monkey human hybrids having a moment.
Speaker 1: As as I mentioned on Tomor's episode, this is nothing new.
Speaker 1: This goes back to the earliest human art. We are
Speaker 1: obsessed with animal human hybrids. So yeah, just just wanted
Speaker 1: to let you know, you know, it is their job
Speaker 1: as the zechs to let you know what what is
Speaker 1: having a moment, and it is monkey human monkey Man's
Speaker 1: uh so hot? Right now? All right, I have a
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, Brian. If TikTok's so bad,
Speaker 1: why did hashtag fartwalks just go viral?
Speaker 2: Uh? You're gonna have to pay me a word picture
Speaker 2: on this one, JACKA. So did walks go viral on TikTok?
Speaker 1: People tend to think of TikTok as an app for
Speaker 1: young people with no attention spans, but incorrect, as evidenced
Speaker 1: by a seventy year old cookbook author who just went
Speaker 1: viral for promoting an idea called fart walks. The claimed
Speaker 1: queen of fiber fart walks.
Speaker 2: That just makes from the map.
Speaker 1: Sorry, yeah, so this is this person has been documenting
Speaker 1: her nightly ritual of going for a walk after eating.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they didn't invent that not just for exercise,
Speaker 1: but specifically to let out farts. And you know, it
Speaker 1: does have a little bit of like kind of foggy
Speaker 1: pseudoscience mixed in there, because she claims that it also,
Speaker 1: like letting the fart, keeping farts in gives you diabetes, which, okay.
Speaker 2: I knew there had to be some sort of weird
Speaker 2: TikTok ben to this. This is, this is nothing uncommon.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like taking a walk after you know,
Speaker 2: a meal. Does I feel like that's generally accepted that
Speaker 2: it does kind of a digestion, Yes, thanks settling down there.
Speaker 2: But she she gave it a snappy name, the Snappiest
Speaker 2: fart Walks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's been doing this for years. But a recent
Speaker 1: fartwalks post went viral has been viewed nearly ten million times.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of fart walks just generally. I I
Speaker 1: know this feeling. One doctor uh did point out that,
Speaker 1: like when you're moving, your gi tract is also moving
Speaker 1: and that helps things move move about and you know,
Speaker 1: helps your body expel gas. So there is science to it.
Speaker 1: Keeping in farts does not like farts are not the
Speaker 1: cause of diabetes as far as we're.
Speaker 2: Pretty sure, yeah, let's throw that away with the what
Speaker 2: is it, the humors, let's just put that yeah, yeah, aay,
Speaker 2: the biles, Yeah, the biles, different biles. Yeah, Now, what.
Speaker 1: Helps you avoid the bad vapors and keep you in
Speaker 1: touch with the good vapors when you go for a
Speaker 1: fart walk? But yeah, anyways, shout out to TikTok uh
Speaker 1: and and fart walks. You can't ban it because it
Speaker 1: is an important You can ban medical reason never never parts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's next? All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back. And there is a
Speaker 1: supposedly exciting piece of technology called the AI pin. That
Speaker 1: is suppose It's stated purpose is to replace the smartphone
Speaker 1: with an AI assistant that lives in a device that
Speaker 1: you keep pinned to your chest like a Star Trek
Speaker 1: communicator instead of a screen. The humane AI pin. Why
Speaker 1: why is it humane? We don't know, project lasers onto
Speaker 1: your hand so that you can.
Speaker 2: Yes, the best, the best surface to project an image
Speaker 2: your hands.
Speaker 1: You're you're well, you know the ups and downs and
Speaker 1: topography of your hand, like the back of your hand,
Speaker 1: So it's get get used to reading off of it.
Speaker 1: But the idea is you can do everything a smartphone can,
Speaker 1: but without your head buried in a screen. All right,
Speaker 1: So a couple problems. First of all, you know, the
Speaker 1: biggest richest company in the world has been working on
Speaker 1: screenless computing with their Alexa product product. The other biggest
Speaker 1: company in the world has been working on it with Siri.
Speaker 1: Those products are both bad. But I have kids who
Speaker 1: are of the age to be very intrigued and also
Speaker 1: like they don't get to use screens, so like they're
Speaker 1: anything to interact with a computer. They will ask questions
Speaker 1: of Siri and Alexa throughout the day and the answers stink.
Speaker 1: Those things stink at their out there.
Speaker 2: Generally they're good at certain things. A couple there. It's
Speaker 2: very like using your voice as an input method is
Speaker 2: not great. For too many reasons to list on a
Speaker 2: short podcast. It's just to put this forth as the
Speaker 2: future of you know, the thing that might replace your smartphone,
Speaker 2: or even something as a companion to your smartphone just
Speaker 2: never made sense. The rabbit r one never made sense
Speaker 2: because your it was another thing they released, well not released.
Speaker 2: They showcased it at ces humane showcase their product at
Speaker 2: CEES a few months ago, and they're both similar products,
Speaker 2: similar but different, but they're both equally useless because what
Speaker 2: they're offering is, hey, you know how you have a phone.
Speaker 2: Well here's a less useful version of that. Basically, yeah
Speaker 2: and yeah. It's really baffling to throw this much money
Speaker 2: into something that's clearly going to end up being e
Speaker 2: waste in a couple of years. There's no way this
Speaker 2: gets traction.
Speaker 1: It costs six hundred and ninety nine dollars and twenty
Speaker 1: four dollars a month for the subscription.
Speaker 2: No thes never going to happen.
Speaker 1: Like if they were going to it. It is basically
Speaker 1: an Apple watch, but instead of being on your watch,
Speaker 1: but it is, it's like an Apple watch without a screen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and on a pin that you pin to your chest
Speaker 1: instead of like on a strap that you put around
Speaker 1: your wrist. But it's like the it made it the
Speaker 1: same shape as yepple, Like if you're gonna do that,
Speaker 1: like I would suggest not making it the exact same
Speaker 1: shape as an Apple watch, just an Apple watch without
Speaker 1: a screen. I don't foresee this taking the tech world
Speaker 1: by storm.
Speaker 2: Voice inputs are so like, okay, how are you supposed
Speaker 2: to put in passwords? You supposed to do banking with
Speaker 2: your fucking voice. It doesn't make sense. Yeah, Like, it's
Speaker 2: just not very well thought out. And also, just when
Speaker 2: they were trying to sell this, the guy who who
Speaker 2: created the CEO is one of the most uncharismatic people
Speaker 2: I've ever seen do a keynote, So he didn't really
Speaker 2: sell it that well as Cesyeah it was it was Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wait, the CEO of a company called Humane is not
Speaker 1: a charismatic human being. He looked.
Speaker 2: He looked like he had just had twins and had
Speaker 2: to like break away just to do the keynote. He
Speaker 2: looked so tired. He looks so exhausted.
Speaker 1: One review said the aipin is the solution to none
Speaker 1: of technologies problems, and another review noted that it doesn't
Speaker 1: work much of the time and is kind instantly warm,
Speaker 1: which is what.
Speaker 2: Else exactly what you want? Like this thing which is
Speaker 2: sending and receiving RF signals right over your heart. So
Speaker 2: I guess don't have a pacemaker?
Speaker 1: Yeah, do not do not use this product for the pacemaker,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Netflix viewers are being criticized for an opinion that I
Speaker 1: might happen to in some universe agree with at some level.
Speaker 1: So there's this new remake of the town of Mister Ripley.
Speaker 1: It's called Ripley. It is like, like, what if this
Speaker 1: very good movie was series length? But it stars Andrew
Speaker 1: Scott hot hot priest from season two of A Fleabag,
Speaker 1: So you know, good actor in a role we've seen before.
Speaker 1: Sure that's worked before.
Speaker 2: It's very funny that this is coming out right after
Speaker 2: Salt Burn, so I can wash all that salt out
Speaker 2: of their mouth.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's set in the sixties and all shot in
Speaker 1: black and white, and critics are saying, best looking TV
Speaker 1: show I've ever seen. The cinematography is beautiful. It looks
Speaker 1: like an art film like that. It definitely has that
Speaker 1: sheen to it. People non critics are losing their goddamn
Speaker 1: minds over the black and white cinematography, calling it annoying
Speaker 1: what the critics have their say, and the people are like,
Speaker 1: so fucking annoying.
Speaker 2: It's weird to expect to me, to expect the general
Speaker 2: public to have a rationale. But I'm I can't help
Speaker 2: but wonder what is the rationale behind? Like, why is
Speaker 2: it annoying to you to not have color? And what's
Speaker 2: so annoying about black and white. I don't to people.
Speaker 1: Generally, I don't know personally, I like color. I it's
Speaker 1: not this is not an informed, thoughtful take. I like
Speaker 1: a lot of black and white photographs. But when I'm
Speaker 1: watching movie, oh, I like, I like color movie. And
Speaker 1: it's because I've been watching movies since I was two
Speaker 1: years old, a time when I had the you know,
Speaker 1: belief that like, black and white movies are from a
Speaker 1: different time and are inherently worse, and the actors are
Speaker 1: bad and they all talk like that I'm saying, and
Speaker 1: they don't talk like any human being I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: And so I just have this like built in irrational
Speaker 1: bias against black and white movies. The guess is from
Speaker 1: the people commenting on this for why it's black and
Speaker 1: white make me feel very stupid for agreeing with them
Speaker 1: on this. They're like, they only did black and White
Speaker 1: to keep the budget down.
Speaker 2: Like, shut the fuck up. I'm trying to picture my
Speaker 2: favorite black like Eraser Hit. I'm trying to picture Eraser
Speaker 2: Hit in color, and I'm like, that movie is not
Speaker 2: going to hit the same in color. It's an aggressive,
Speaker 2: claustrophobic film that Black and White really helped sell.
Speaker 1: That well, they couldn't. They also couldn't afford Yeah, erasor yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to pay per color each yeah, each movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah color like when you look at those movies, but
Speaker 1: like when you go to.
Speaker 2: CBS and you want color prints, you have to pay more, right,
Speaker 2: So yeah, movies are the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think part of the problem is that Netflix
Speaker 1: does not have any black and white movies like on
Speaker 1: on it, you know, except like the one.
Speaker 2: They won an Oscar for Roma, which everybody loved. I
Speaker 2: don't know what's so different.
Speaker 1: Now they got rid of everything from before, like they
Speaker 1: have I think a total of forty three movies made
Speaker 1: before the year nineteen seventy, so you know, they treat
Speaker 1: old movies like shit, and then are you know, hoisted
Speaker 1: by their own pitar. They're they're annoyed that they are
Speaker 1: getting these dumb film takes when they get give us
Speaker 1: the good movies, give us the good black and white movies.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna make your show in black and white
Speaker 1: and expect everybody to be down.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I sing, I'm picturing people the same argument with
Speaker 2: those sections in Oppenheimer. It's like, oh, I guess they're
Speaker 2: just trying to save money. On half the movie by
Speaker 2: shooting in a black.
Speaker 1: They couldn't even afford color for the whole movie.
Speaker 2: It's crazy that they were Christopher Nolan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyways, we take weird take that I haven't don't
Speaker 1: agree with because I'm an idiot. All right. Uh, those
Speaker 1: are some of the things that are trending on this
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with a whole last
Speaker 1: episode of Whole Shows. Until then, be kind to each other,
Speaker 1: be kind to yourself, get the vaccine, don't do nothing
Speaker 1: about white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Fight Bite
