Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this special week Trend edition.
Speaker 1: I guess they're getting less special since we've been doing
Speaker 1: it for about it close to a year now.
Speaker 2: But it's special in that it's a departure from the
Speaker 2: norm of.
Speaker 1: Our departure, a little bit of a break from the norm.
Speaker 1: To quote my favorite rapper, Uh is that Will Smith? Anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm Jack O'Brien. That is Miles Gray. It is April
Speaker 1: Fool's Day. Oh shit, wait, I am Miles Gray, and
Speaker 1: I am hold on, I am my name Don Ronald
Speaker 1: Donald brin Let me like.
Speaker 2: I am John DeSantis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking got you, guys.
Speaker 2: It's a fucking joke.
Speaker 1: If you should have seen the fucking look on your
Speaker 1: because yeah, I got scary. You kind of went away
Speaker 1: there for a second.
Speaker 2: Yeah I know who you were. Yeah, it kind of
Speaker 2: fucked me up.
Speaker 1: I can tell you're something came over your face. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, am I John Deceand who is? Anyways?
Speaker 1: I mean we're we're going to get into it. It's
Speaker 1: April Folds and the pranks are coming fast and thick,
Speaker 1: especially in my household. Can tell by my household, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, we have the sign out front, and we
Speaker 1: have one of the things you know that we have
Speaker 1: on there is that in this house we believe that
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is the funniest comedian.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, dude killing it today. Lock him up
Speaker 2: for murder because he's killing it with the jokes. And
Speaker 2: also maybe lock him up for murder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just generally something there.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: So we're going to get into the things that trended
Speaker 1: over the weekend, the things that are trending right now.
Speaker 1: But before we do that, we do like to get
Speaker 1: to know each other a little bit better, Yes, by
Speaker 1: telling you some things we think are underrated and overrated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to start, You want me to start?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sure, Which what are we doing? Unders unders unders
Speaker 2: for unders to say underrated just after seeing some posts
Speaker 2: on the internet this last Easter Sunday, the servers and
Speaker 2: kitchen staff on these holiday brunch days underrated because I
Speaker 2: think in the past we talk a lot about like
Speaker 2: during the holidays, especially Valentine's Day, that seems to be
Speaker 2: the like the moment in the service industry that people
Speaker 2: are like it's fucked up, Like it's high tension. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of expectations and it bleeds over into But
Speaker 2: I'm seeing just from like people's screeds about shitty easter
Speaker 2: brunches that they've had that like come off as like
Speaker 2: you sound like a fucking entitled prick actually does like you,
Speaker 2: I had the worst fucking Easter brunch ever in memory,
Speaker 2: it sounds like your server did. Yeah, no, and like
Speaker 2: the ability and then like this whole thing, Like I
Speaker 2: saw a couple I'll be honest, I saw three different
Speaker 2: Instagram stories from people that like I'm not really friends with,
Speaker 2: but you know, just like people like people you've interacted
Speaker 2: with the past, so you follow them, and like they
Speaker 2: were all versions of like the service was like awful,
Speaker 2: although like it would always be like all these insults
Speaker 2: to the kitchen staff, the white staff, and then it's like,
Speaker 2: but the server was trying to be paid, like trying
Speaker 2: to soften like the preceding nonsense that was being described
Speaker 2: in the post, to try and soften that blow, right,
Speaker 2: and again, I just like seeing how people are deciding
Speaker 2: to even go public about how terrible their easter brunches.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it's the people that have to fucking
Speaker 2: deal with you and not like throw hot tea on
Speaker 2: your head that they they are the true heroes truly
Speaker 2: and so yeah, and I think it's just it's just
Speaker 2: one of those things where all these days, like it's
Speaker 2: like these moments where strained familial relationships and expectations just
Speaker 2: inevitably spill over into how you interact with white staff.
Speaker 2: For the people at the restaurant. Yeah, and you know,
Speaker 2: I just think they got a string of them coming up.
Speaker 2: We got Eastern Brunch, you got Mother's Day Brunch. That's
Speaker 2: gonna be another one where people are gonna fucking freak out. So,
Speaker 2: you know, A salute to.
Speaker 1: Them dads and grads.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I feel like I don't know, do people
Speaker 2: lose it as much on I feel like people don't
Speaker 2: give a shit about their dads enough to be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: special for you dad, Like it's more mom that you're like,
Speaker 2: no's gotta be right for my fucking mom. Leave dad
Speaker 2: alone dead anyway, Yeah, I salute them because I've already
Speaker 2: seen there's already posts like I like to go on
Speaker 2: trip Advisor too, to look at just what the roundup
Speaker 2: is for angry people. I just love reading like fucking
Speaker 2: seething reviews of places because it's more just a look
Speaker 2: into the person than like a river flection the restaurant
Speaker 2: most of the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of the wildest shit from people who think
Speaker 1: that they're telling you helpful information about how bad their
Speaker 1: dining experience was. And also I wonder, I do wonder
Speaker 1: zaigang who works in you know, who's worked service industry
Speaker 1: during these holidays. I'm curious if there is like a hierarchy,
Speaker 1: like if Easter is worse because people are coming from
Speaker 1: church and so they're like, well, I already did my
Speaker 1: good shit for the week. I can treat this person.
Speaker 2: I already shouted out the resurrection. So I'm always find
Speaker 2: a fucking scream at somebody.
Speaker 1: We're good here. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, let
Speaker 1: us know if you if you have a if you
Speaker 1: have a ranking of like worst days, I feel.
Speaker 2: Like Mother's Day has to be there, Like you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like is it's built around this parental
Speaker 2: relationship and all the trauma that comes along with that.
Speaker 2: And like in a day where you're pretending to depending
Speaker 2: on your relationship with the mother, could be celebratory, could
Speaker 2: be like passive, aggressive, could be like I have to
Speaker 2: do this was my mom's in a fucking freak out
Speaker 2: and then you know, I don't know, but tell us,
Speaker 2: you tell us, you tell us.
Speaker 1: My underrated is celebrities bullshit, like the just the shit
Speaker 1: they have laying around their house. Apparently there's a New
Speaker 1: Yorker article about how the celebrity memorabilia market is booming,
Speaker 1: like like rich people instead of putting a van Go
Speaker 1: up on the wall, are putting like Kurt Cobaine's sweater
Speaker 1: from the MTV Unplugged on their wall. And first of all,
Speaker 1: I'm not here to say one way or another. I
Speaker 1: can tell you which one I'd be more impressed with,
Speaker 1: and it ain't the Van Go. But apparently the price
Speaker 1: goes up the dirtier it is, like the Cobaine sweater
Speaker 1: apparently has like I think what they described is like
Speaker 1: a brown crust in one of the pockets that people
Speaker 1: speculate is probably vomit given where he was at during
Speaker 1: that performance.
Speaker 2: What he's vomiting in his pocket like a little kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like a little quick vomit in the pocket.
Speaker 1: We've all been there. But that raises the price, Like
Speaker 1: the price goes down if the sweater or you know,
Speaker 1: the piece of memorabilia has been washed or disinfected, right,
Speaker 1: Like we want they're funk all over it, like we
Speaker 1: want it to be filthy.
Speaker 2: You want their vomit in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a jack off rag from Kirk Cobain would
Speaker 1: be like the highest value thing that people could think of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a spunk sock of yeucking Kirk cobain is.
Speaker 2: You know what's wild though, too? This sweater like it's
Speaker 2: a cardigan. It's so nondescript that like I'm seeing people
Speaker 2: replicate it like just to be like like the style,
Speaker 2: and I feel like now it makes me want to
Speaker 2: be like, you know what that sweater is? I got
Speaker 2: here right right, that's a fucking unplugged fucking Nirvana. That's
Speaker 2: Kirk sweater dude. Yeah, exactly. Don't mind the price, deg.
Speaker 1: But I think this this makes a lot of sense
Speaker 1: for the same reason we've been like speculating, like with
Speaker 1: the a lot of the experiences people were having around
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift concerts being comparable to like religious experiences, right
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, tracking the rise of a kind
Speaker 1: of spiritual almost like quasi spiritual relationship to celebrity with
Speaker 1: the fall of religion. And this this just feels like
Speaker 1: almost a one to one, Like, I'm pretty sure the
Speaker 1: Catholic Church has things that were I mean they have
Speaker 1: like the mythical Kirk Cobaine sweater from their own plugged Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Shroud of Turin. Yeah, like they had to invent
Speaker 1: a thing like that's honestly, they would fuck with this
Speaker 1: kind of logic. Yeah yeah, this was touched by you know,
Speaker 1: John Paul the second.
Speaker 2: The thing is like even with the Shroud of Turin,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know if you existed. I know,
Speaker 2: Kirk Colebain existed. I've seen that unplugged, So that has
Speaker 2: fucking value to me. That could be any old fucking
Speaker 2: shroud of anywhere, could be Stroud of Norwalk, California, falling.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but yeah, I mean i know, like the
Speaker 1: Catholic Church sells like metals blessed by the Pope, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure those medals would go for way more if
Speaker 1: they like promised that the Pope had you know, like
Speaker 1: fallen asleep and drooled on it or whatever.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, like think about how much people
Speaker 2: were like paying for like a hotel bill that was
Speaker 2: signed by like John John Lennon and Yoko when they
Speaker 2: were like in that hotel forever, right, Yeah, people would
Speaker 2: just be like that scrap from room service six figures instantly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like it's an it has an inverse
Speaker 1: relationship to how I would feel about any other human. Like,
Speaker 1: so if you said that you were selling the sheet
Speaker 1: from that picture where there he's like naked and like
Speaker 1: spooning her like kind of monk key style. Like if
Speaker 1: you sold that sheet, I think people would be super
Speaker 1: into it. Oh yeah, Like it would go for like
Speaker 1: a million dollars if there's like Pubes on it, dude, Yeah,
Speaker 1: if there's Pubes on it, even better. But like if
Speaker 1: it was literally anybody else and you're checking into that
Speaker 1: hotel room, like, it would be the worst thing that
Speaker 1: you could possibly imagine.
Speaker 2: It's all context, baby, But.
Speaker 1: The article says the market kind of went up during
Speaker 1: COVID because people were at home with money, and again
Speaker 1: this like mainstream media thing of like people were on
Speaker 1: a spending spree just you know during COVID once they
Speaker 1: got that stimulus check, just like the media likes to
Speaker 1: paint this version of us that like you get the
Speaker 1: stimulus check and thenies just like people like passed out
Speaker 1: in a pile of like half unboxed flat screen TVs.
Speaker 1: But so they're attributing it to that like feeling nostalgic
Speaker 1: and at home. And but I would add that they
Speaker 1: were afraid of death now more than ever. And yes,
Speaker 1: like that this gives you a connection to Like the
Speaker 1: quotes throughout the article are people being like, this is
Speaker 1: immortality right there, Like this touching this Eric clapt In
Speaker 1: stratocaster that was gifted to him by right, you know,
Speaker 1: George Harrison, this is the one.
Speaker 2: You put down when he saw Jimmy Hendrix play live
Speaker 2: for the first time and rethought everything in terms of
Speaker 2: guitar playing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just trying like connecting to immortality in some
Speaker 1: way via Kirk Coban's dried vomiting her pocket.
Speaker 2: Also, way better stuff to collect than fucking Harlan Crow's
Speaker 2: like Hitler crap.
Speaker 1: Right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: That's a room even if it's like niche, Like, no
Speaker 2: one's gonna be like, oh, I don't know about all
Speaker 2: this Kurt Cobain stuff, Like they'll be like, oh okay, dude,
Speaker 2: that's fine. Was like you want to see a Nazi
Speaker 2: t set?
Speaker 1: They did say they said that they study how disinfection
Speaker 1: related to celebrity memorabilia and so with uh, like Kurt Cobain,
Speaker 1: the dirtier the better. With Hitler, they were people were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: could you run that through the wash real quick? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like who we'd love to get.
Speaker 2: Kind of freaky, but I still want it.
Speaker 1: I still want it, which I'm a little surprised by.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like the people who are into Nazi
Speaker 1: ship like would be like, I like want whatever the
Speaker 1: closest is to the experience of Hitler taking a ship
Speaker 1: on my head, right, you know, because that is that
Speaker 1: was how he related.
Speaker 2: I remember super producer Ana was saying, ask if we
Speaker 2: watched The Gentleman The New Guy Richie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, been I watched the first two ups.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I won't spoil it, but there is someone
Speaker 2: who's really into some Hitler ship and something very specific
Speaker 2: that is a piece of Hitler memorabilia that's obviously fake
Speaker 2: for the show, but it encapsulates literally what you're saying,
Speaker 2: like to almost near a tea.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Hitler was like that was his fetish and
Speaker 1: like to the point that he like needed that in
Speaker 1: order to get off. Was a woman shitting on his head.
Speaker 2: So oh oh, well this is a little bit different.
Speaker 2: But oh okay, but it's it's let's just say it
Speaker 2: is a physical remnant of Adolf Hitler. Oh god, that
Speaker 2: someone's really into collecting in this show.
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, what's overrated, Miles?
Speaker 2: This overrated? The act of posting through it. This is
Speaker 2: something that we see. It's a new phenomenon. Okay, so
Speaker 2: it's something that has brought been brought through in the
Speaker 2: social media age. And if you're not familiar with when
Speaker 2: someone goes oh they're posting through it, it's when someone
Speaker 2: is in the midst of some kind of scandal or
Speaker 2: controversy drama and everyone knows about it, but they use
Speaker 2: their social media to act as if nothing's going on,
Speaker 2: you know, or it doesn't bother me, or I'm actually
Speaker 2: this is actually really funny to me. That's actually why
Speaker 2: I'm posting about it, like really leaning into it. And
Speaker 2: there's a great example this Sunday with Sean P. Diddy
Speaker 2: love trafficking Combs who posted this man is embroiled in
Speaker 2: a pretty dark and seemingly wide reaching criminal controversy with trafficking.
Speaker 2: I mean, like Department of Homeland Security is the one
Speaker 2: that you got mixed up with not like yeah the cops,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, or like the DEA, or
Speaker 2: like oh it his drugs, like homeland security, like the
Speaker 2: new one they made up to terrorize like brown people
Speaker 2: from the Middle East. That's now they're coming after What
Speaker 2: what are you doing? P Diddy? So he posted a
Speaker 2: picture of his like I think youngest daughter in easter clothes,
Speaker 2: like this is my daughter Love the first of all,
Speaker 2: the daughter's name is Love Sean Combs yikes es and
Speaker 2: just like yeah, I guess he thought this would help
Speaker 2: like reorient his sheet like sinking ship. But there's this
Speaker 2: like weird power that I think fame this people think
Speaker 2: they have that becomes like, you know, clear when they
Speaker 2: do goofy shit like this, like they really think by
Speaker 2: just going, well, I want to talk about how cute
Speaker 2: my little baby daughter is and not that I'm in
Speaker 2: the center of multiple scandals and potentially like one of
Speaker 2: the most prolific predators in the music industry, Like that's
Speaker 2: enough to change the discourse. And I'm like, sir, just
Speaker 2: fucking vanish man, like don't fuck it, like whatever, I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know, like if you're revealing the world that
Speaker 2: you think you operate in where you're truly like the
Speaker 2: fucking lever polar of all that exists in your reality.
Speaker 2: But in this instance, yep, make sure youah a good thing.
Speaker 2: Those comments are off, Yeah, just post post through it,
Speaker 2: but it's not. It's not doing what you think is doing.
Speaker 1: P Diddy. Yeah, it's like the Kevin Spacey Christmas videos.
Speaker 1: Yeah let me be Frank videos, Yes, where he's like,
Speaker 1: y'all still love this though. I know you're disgusted by
Speaker 1: my some of my behaviors, but.
Speaker 2: Are disgusted by like me right personally. But how about
Speaker 2: I remedy that by showing you me.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, but still the play the hits baby all right?
Speaker 1: My overrated are the April Fools pranks my kids played
Speaker 1: on me this morning. Shots fired just dog shit, you guys.
Speaker 1: The signs saying kick me and poop on me and
Speaker 1: pe on me all right, Hitler were uninspired. I could
Speaker 1: feel you putting them on me. The magnetile obstacle course
Speaker 1: that you laid out was perfectly visible before I got
Speaker 1: to them. Also, you put toy sharks in the obstacle field.
Speaker 1: I like sharks, So I'm not sure what what what
Speaker 1: you're going for writing. You are are spelled a E
Speaker 1: R nice try start or poop or pepe uninspired so
Speaker 1: indecisive by the way, or maybe.
Speaker 2: At my fart or am my poo poop?
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, make up your mind. And then when
Speaker 1: those stopped working, they just started shooting me in the
Speaker 1: butt and penis with nerf guns yep, and hitting me
Speaker 1: with foam swords like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the time honor tradition is shooting your
Speaker 2: parents in the junk with some kind of projectile. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I remember had the ball Zuka.
Speaker 1: It was funny. They just thought they were just like
Speaker 1: immediately like yeah, it's it's a free for all today
Speaker 1: because it's I don't know where where they got the
Speaker 1: idea that they could just shoot me because it was
Speaker 1: April Fool's Day, but that had been discussed prior to
Speaker 1: this morning and we went to war.
Speaker 2: Wow, I just love a scathing post mortem on your
Speaker 2: children's It's this.
Speaker 1: Is this work in comedy, you guys, Uh, this is
Speaker 1: you need to step it up.
Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny disiguring the fuck out of me. Man.
Speaker 2: I remember doing this kind of shit and getting a
Speaker 2: response same response out of my dad. Is like you
Speaker 2: ain't full of nobody with that, Like that's all you got.
Speaker 2: I remember. I was so in my fucking bag about that.
Speaker 2: I asked my mom the next time. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do something. Really, I'm gonna really get him
Speaker 2: to believe something messed up. And I ran it. I
Speaker 2: think I ran it by my mom. I was gonna
Speaker 2: say that, like so when my dad like had this
Speaker 2: cat for since I was before I was born, so
Speaker 2: at the time when I was like six, this cat
Speaker 2: was like sixteen or something, and I was like, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna fucking tell my dad the cat's dead because I
Speaker 2: was shamed so bad. Oh you think these these minuscule
Speaker 2: attacks are enough to shit shift me and get me
Speaker 2: to believe some shit? Try hard? And I was like
Speaker 2: and as a kid, I'm like, okay, harder. I don't
Speaker 2: have nuance, so I'll just go to extreme, like your
Speaker 2: cat is dead, your foster parents have been killed, woofy
Speaker 2: is dead. Like That's where my mind went because I
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: What the fucking dumb so did he did he buy it?
Speaker 1: Did he bite?
Speaker 2: No? My mom was like the fish don't fuck It's like, no,
Speaker 2: don't do that. Yeah, I was talked out of it.
Speaker 2: I remember vividly being like this is the answer, and
Speaker 2: I think it was like my mom, ly, my grandfather,
Speaker 2: somebody be like, no, no, no, that ain't a fool, Like,
Speaker 2: don't even do that, like just like put Ben Gay
Speaker 2: in his underwear or something. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You may notice that I have clown makeup on, and Okay,
Speaker 1: the one prank that I guess was pretty good is
Speaker 1: they did tie my shoelaces together and then perfectly, uh
Speaker 1: you know, measure the distance that I would fall, so
Speaker 1: my head fell into a bucket that I couldn't get off.
Speaker 1: And then when I pulled the bucket off, I did
Speaker 1: have clown makeup all over my face. So I guess
Speaker 1: that one. Well, he got me. Guys, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. You need work would be my grade.
Speaker 2: See, kids, don't go don't go extreme on it, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Just you know, I think I
Speaker 2: think you should take your father's critiques as a sign
Speaker 2: that they actually they got to him, and that's his
Speaker 2: only defense. Now, No, they didn't get to me. It's fine. No,
Speaker 2: your dad is posting through it. He's posting through it.
Speaker 2: Your dad it's fine.
Speaker 1: Crying a little bit. Yeah, I'm poo poo at work.
Speaker 2: Bullshit, I'm John DeSantis. I don't know.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about some news stories. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. We are back, and we are back.
Speaker 1: And Sunday, March thirty first, was Transgender Day of Visibility.
Speaker 1: It was also, as you may have heard, the day
Speaker 1: that Christians eat chocolate bunny rabbits to celebrate Easter, and
Speaker 1: a ton of right wing people freaked out because they
Speaker 1: claimed the White House issued a proclamation celebrating Transgender Day
Speaker 1: of Visibility and people were like, that's Biden is attacking Easter.
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson called the overlapping occasions abhorrant on Twitter, while
Speaker 1: presumably like just barely keeping himself from jacking off to
Speaker 1: porn and having a record of his jack off session
Speaker 1: sent to his son.
Speaker 2: The Covenant Eyes man still fucking with the Covenant Eyes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, his his app that does that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, But I mean, also, dude, every everybody had
Speaker 2: the most bad faith takes. Christy Nome said Joe Biden
Speaker 2: banned religious themed eggs at the White House. Easter egg
Speaker 2: design contest for kids, and he announced that tomorrow's National
Speaker 2: Transgender Visibility Day. Did he forget that tomorrow's Easter Resurrection Sunday?
Speaker 2: That kind of sounds like a like a sporting event.
Speaker 2: Joe Biden in his White House blah blah blah blah blah,
Speaker 2: Newt Gingrich as President Biden literally out of touch with reality?
Speaker 2: Literally literally out of touch with what? And how is
Speaker 2: he touching reality?
Speaker 1: Literally? How would you literally be in touch with reality?
Speaker 2: Is it like that like that fresco that's in the
Speaker 2: Sistine Chapel, like where God and Adam or like touching fingers.
Speaker 2: Is that like the like in my mind, that's being
Speaker 2: in touch with reality in a weird way, like touching God. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I said, why would he take away Christian Christianity's holiest
Speaker 2: day Easter and declared to be quote transgender Day of Visibility? Why?
Speaker 2: I say we would be irritated whenever he did it,
Speaker 2: but doing it on Easter is an obscene insult to
Speaker 2: every Christian. Oh ah, interesting, because that's that's exactly what happened,
Speaker 2: And that's exactly that That's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: He day before he was like, oh, Tomorrow's Easter. Let
Speaker 1: me do this thing that's gonna piss off Christians because
Speaker 1: the whole world revolves around them, and we'll make it
Speaker 1: in your face trans day of Visibility in your face Christians.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, it's always been trans Visibility Day March thirty. First,
Speaker 1: it doesn't change year to year. Unlike Easter, Easter falls
Speaker 1: on different dates. I didn't realize it was like moon based, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because the moon's phases determined Easter's date. Western Easter is
Speaker 1: the first Sunday after the first full moon after the equinox,
Speaker 1: while Eastern Easter is after Passover. That's I mean, that makes.
Speaker 2: More sense, right because the setting of the passion is
Speaker 2: during Passover, right, you know what I mean? So, like
Speaker 2: I remember Her Majesty was like, how come pass Over
Speaker 2: in Eastern like Art just locked in at the same
Speaker 2: time in the Bible, isn't that what's happening, like when
Speaker 2: He's getting crucified, Like, wasn't the Last Supper like potentially
Speaker 2: some kind of satyr maybe, But then then we had
Speaker 2: I did this whole thing, and I looked into it,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, it's like the Council of the Elves
Speaker 2: of Trent made this proclamation in three thirty that Easter
Speaker 2: shall be the first Sunday after the full moon, after
Speaker 2: the equinox, and then I'm like, oh, okay, they.
Speaker 1: Just kind of witchy for Christianity to be like into
Speaker 1: the phases of the moon.
Speaker 2: A lot of that stuff is they don't want to
Speaker 2: talk about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of druids, ye, und.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of night elves working in there. But yeah, again,
Speaker 2: like it's just so stupid to be like the heat
Speaker 2: changed it. This is they fucking do this every time
Speaker 2: there's a national day, the president, the Office of the
Speaker 2: President says like, oh yeah, it's it's proclaimed that this
Speaker 2: day is this day. That's been this day for over
Speaker 2: a decade now. And then the other attack that people
Speaker 2: have been going on is like and they banned religious designs.
Speaker 2: That has been the fucking rules for forty five fucking
Speaker 2: years or however long this thing has been happening across
Speaker 2: really all administrations. It's like, dude, we don't need religious designs.
Speaker 2: We get it. It's fucking Easter. If it's another Jesus sag,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fucking lose it.
Speaker 1: Nice try Biden think we wouldn't notice. Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: actually it happened forty five years ago.
Speaker 2: Right exactly, and so everything's just all bad faith reads
Speaker 2: on everything and then just be like I thought this
Speaker 2: the president supposedly a Catholic. It's like, don't worry he is.
Speaker 2: He's out loud being like I don't like abortion, right,
Speaker 2: I only y'all that I'll say that out loud. I
Speaker 2: don't care. Yeah, but you know I get it, like
Speaker 2: times are changing, but hey, I'm still still big sea
Speaker 2: Catholic poppy. Yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 1: I feel like Joe Biden really loves Easter, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like that's a big, big holiday for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like he seems like one of those
Speaker 2: guys where it's like every Easter in my grandpa he
Speaker 2: loves to eat the Dove truffle chocolate eggs. That's his
Speaker 2: favorite thing is sit in his rocking chair and then
Speaker 2: we bring us we bring our eggs to him, and
Speaker 2: he'll open them and then eat our candy. And it's fun.
Speaker 2: That's all he does. And then and then Grandma gets mad.
Speaker 2: Yeah he must.
Speaker 1: Love it all right. Millions of AT and T customers
Speaker 1: just have their personal info published on the dark web.
Speaker 1: I got a nice email about this Easter morning. Thanks
Speaker 1: a lot AT and T for ruining Easter.
Speaker 2: He has risen by he we mean, your social security
Speaker 2: and locking information has risen up on the dark web.
Speaker 1: Reportedly, the personal data of seventy three million current or
Speaker 1: former AT and T customers, including addresses, social security numbers,
Speaker 1: and pass codes, was published on the dark web, which
Speaker 1: is less than ideal for those of us who count
Speaker 1: ourselves among the seventy three million. Oh proud current and
Speaker 1: former eights.
Speaker 2: Hy one of the seventy three million. C That's why
Speaker 2: I'm with T mobile, you know what I mean. They
Speaker 2: know too many people who use T mobile to go
Speaker 2: into collections, so they don't even bother trying to get
Speaker 2: that information. But hey, hey man, it must must be hard.
Speaker 2: But I mean, this just feels like every fucking three months,
Speaker 2: I'm getting some letter like we're so sorry everything about
Speaker 2: you has been leaked into a dark whip.
Speaker 1: It's like, it does almost feel like we should just
Speaker 1: come up with a new way to keep track of
Speaker 1: shit at this point, right, Like our social security numbers
Speaker 1: are burnt, like burnt, I feel it. We're you know,
Speaker 1: in the Mission Impossible where they're like we got to
Speaker 1: catch get the data file before all of these IDs
Speaker 1: get burnt. Well, we we exist in the world where
Speaker 1: he accidentally peed a little bit on the guy while
Speaker 1: he was hanging from the ceiling and they caught him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the knocklist exactly. We've all we're all on the knocklist,
Speaker 1: and the knocklist has been burnt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're burned. Yeah, the spot has been burnt. Sorry,
Speaker 2: we can't smoke weed here anymore.
Speaker 1: Like three hundred and thirty million people in the US
Speaker 1: and they just sold seventy million of their personal informations
Speaker 1: and socialist security numbers on the dark web. So it
Speaker 1: feels like that's a significant enough chunk that it's not
Speaker 1: enough to just be like and we've got you, Like
Speaker 1: you get to know Norton anti virus very well because
Speaker 1: they're your new friends.
Speaker 2: ATT is just on a run right now, man.
Speaker 1: I know it's been a little over a month since
Speaker 1: the mass outage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now Sally, your blood type, birthday and social
Speaker 2: security are out there on some knock list.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey, change those passwords, man, change those passwords. I had
Speaker 2: to figure that out, not the hard way, but I realized, like,
Speaker 2: once you know, like browsers will be like if you
Speaker 2: save your passwords in a browser, will be like, hey,
Speaker 2: your passwords were found in an information leak, like following
Speaker 2: ones you should change. I'm like, oh, they were all
Speaker 2: the same word, like yeah, like password I had from
Speaker 2: like the aol era, right, I was like NIS on
Speaker 2: Pathfinder ninety seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's utok.
Speaker 2: Don't try that. Don't try that. Don't no one try that.
Speaker 1: So do you do the like randomized ones like the
Speaker 1: big long oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah. When it's like hey, can we suggest a
Speaker 2: fucking passwordy loser? Yeah, rather than like I like weed,
Speaker 2: I'm like okay, I'll listen. It's like your and like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that seems solid.
Speaker 1: Yes, please that one?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: All right. Big news for Donald Trump, Like there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of positive news stories I guess for Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: like money problems over the weekend because truth Social I
Speaker 1: guess went public last week and he's now valued at
Speaker 1: like five billion dollars, Like he's a tech billionaire again,
Speaker 1: or he's a billionaire again and a tech billionaire probably
Speaker 1: for the first time. But it's just it's such a
Speaker 1: weird story, Like they keep talking about how his partner
Speaker 1: in this deal is like the owner of a shell company.
Speaker 1: But that's just not that's not a bad term anymore.
Speaker 1: They're just like, yeah, and he's like monetizing his political influence.
Speaker 1: They're like, so all these people are gambling that he's
Speaker 1: gonna like win the next presidential election.
Speaker 2: Someone someone, I forget who it was, maybe in the
Speaker 2: New repolic they called it a trump and dump like
Speaker 2: with this stock just to get up because like everyone's
Speaker 2: like they they lost like over fifty million dollars last year.
Speaker 2: This isn't like, this isn't a broth. This is a
Speaker 2: fucking fire. This is a dump. Yeah fire, This.
Speaker 1: Isn't suffered a net loss of fifty eight million dollars
Speaker 1: last year, brought in so like I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: but so they must be advertising a bunch on truth Social.
Speaker 1: I you know, try and spend as much time as
Speaker 1: I can on truth Social, but that that amounts to
Speaker 1: never having gone on it. And it brought in four
Speaker 1: point one million dollars in revenue in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, great, I love that. That sounds good. It's
Speaker 2: like a good business. How on end, how much how
Speaker 2: much of my money can I give you?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: How many monies would you like.
Speaker 1: It's just like such an indictment of the whole like
Speaker 1: Wall Street, you know, like the idea that there's any
Speaker 1: any there there in the whole Wall Street world. Right,
Speaker 1: it's you know, just valuations based on kind of nonsense.
Speaker 1: Just growth, as we've talked about before in the tech world,
Speaker 1: like that's all they.
Speaker 2: Care, Like the promise, you know, like when people like
Speaker 2: look at Tesla and they're like, well, how much money
Speaker 2: you like making? They're like, well, dude, think about like
Speaker 2: what it can do though, Like what the potential. That's
Speaker 2: what that's what you're that's what it is. Think about that.
Speaker 1: So their future like end game for this is he
Speaker 1: gets elected president and then like that makes the network
Speaker 1: grow and he's like just raking in advertising money and
Speaker 1: like subscription money. I guess, yeah, well this feels so weird,
Speaker 1: like the president would be monetizing the presidency.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here we are. I mean, like it's really
Speaker 2: just it's like real, all like traditional oligarch shit, right
Speaker 2: because the guy that he's doing this COUMP. The merger
Speaker 2: is with this investor billionaire named Jeff Yas. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 2: we're the Yas queen headlines for this because it's right.
Speaker 2: Therefore y queen's at because without him right, without him
Speaker 2: being like the person to merge with the Donald Trump
Speaker 2: media company, there's no billions of valuation added to or
Speaker 2: billion dollars of valuation added to Trump's net worth. And
Speaker 2: as like journalists are looking more into it, they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is what the fuck is going on? This guy
Speaker 2: Yas is an investor in TikTok. Yeah, And so when
Speaker 2: Trump came out, there a lot of people being like, who,
Speaker 2: who's this reversal benefiting? Because not just because Trump gives
Speaker 2: a fuck, it's because he can monetize his opinion to
Speaker 2: try and change the direction of the herd. And with
Speaker 2: Yas being a donor of TikTok, they're like, got it,
Speaker 2: So this is the tit for tat here You're gonna
Speaker 2: reverse course and be like, no, no, TikTok is very good.
Speaker 2: We love it, and I want all of my mega
Speaker 2: faith ol to also believe that. And then you get
Speaker 2: to get just basically get some get some cash injection
Speaker 2: to fight your legal fees. It's all it's all right there, It's.
Speaker 1: All just right there in front of Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know what like maybe my like I said, maybe I
Speaker 1: maybe it's the hard reset I gave my brain with
Speaker 1: one of those massage guns to the temple. But it
Speaker 1: does like all these the past couple of weeks of
Speaker 1: Trump stories, and particularly this one and the Bible Sales one,
Speaker 1: are just like hitting me as like wait what like
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Like it just feels like we've reached a
Speaker 1: level of cynicism and like open oligarchy in this case
Speaker 1: that is just kind of staggering.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the reporting on it is like, yeah, and
Speaker 2: that's the guy he's working with. The guy usually said
Speaker 2: he doesn't like Trump anyway, so that's why he has money.
Speaker 1: That's a smart Yeah, they're just like this guy's a
Speaker 1: maverick and really smart. Like if he's doing this, it's
Speaker 1: like fuck what.
Speaker 2: He's ducking accountability and these people are enabling it because
Speaker 2: they know they can now buy influence over this guy,
Speaker 2: like quite literally and just be like dude, I'm fucking
Speaker 2: way too in on TikTok man. I can handle this
Speaker 2: shit right now.
Speaker 1: Like all the there's just this rotten logic at the
Speaker 1: core of the entire system that the mainstream media buys into,
Speaker 1: with like Wall Street being the economy and corporations basically
Speaker 1: having all the power to do whatever they want at
Speaker 1: this point, and so the mainstream media, like, I feel
Speaker 1: like this is a savvy move by Trump because he
Speaker 1: just recognizes that, like it's taking advantage of the one
Speaker 1: thing the mainstream media won't call out, which is just
Speaker 1: like how blatantly and complempletely fucking corrupt like the whole
Speaker 1: Wall Street system is. So they just have to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess he's like got a lot of money now,
Speaker 1: and that's.
Speaker 2: How you do it. I mean, that's one way to
Speaker 2: do it. But yeah, anyway, yes, queen, then that's my
Speaker 2: op ed for the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Wall Street Journal is really just like Donald
Speaker 1: Trump had a big week. Oh wow, cool fuck cool.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about some more news stories. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And in a slightly related story to my underrated, people
Speaker 1: can't stop stealing shit from Air Force one, particularly like
Speaker 1: journalists who travel on Air Force one just can't stop
Speaker 1: themselves from just like having grabbing some ship. And at
Speaker 1: first I was like, oh, this is, you know, not
Speaker 1: that huge a deal. This is just uh you know, sorry,
Speaker 1: I just got we just got a news alert from Jabbari.
Speaker 2: I know Embiid is coming back, nearing a return expected.
Speaker 1: All right, second, I just saw Embiid's pictures, So make
Speaker 1: sure that you're not like being traded, all right. So,
Speaker 1: like at first, I was like, okay, they like grabbed
Speaker 1: a pen or something, but no, they so NBC correspondent
Speaker 1: Kelly O'Donnell is the president of the White House Correspondence
Speaker 1: Association and sent an email out being like, did you
Speaker 1: guys stop fucking taking ship off of Air Force one
Speaker 1: Like looks it's a bad look for the media. And
Speaker 1: one person was like, okay, here you go and returned
Speaker 1: to an Air Force one embroidered pillow case.
Speaker 2: Like that.
Speaker 1: But oh, I didn't know. I wasn't supposed to do
Speaker 1: too much.
Speaker 2: You took they they'll notice if a pillow case is gone,
Speaker 2: take the fucking ship. Like take a fucking pen or
Speaker 2: some shit, or a wine glass some other ship which
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that's what people were taking too. Were
Speaker 2: like the fucking wine glasses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's truly. I mean, wine glasses make sense given
Speaker 1: what we previously discussed of like there being some filth
Speaker 1: to it, like pillowcase got your presidential like head sweat.
Speaker 2: Well, can they get close to Joe Byron's pillow case?
Speaker 2: I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: Probably not.
Speaker 2: There's probably like other beds, Like it's just other pillows.
Speaker 2: Like every pillow on the plane has an embroidered pillowcase,
Speaker 2: so you're just coming up on one of those.
Speaker 1: But I think that's the promise, right, that's when when
Speaker 1: you're selling me the Air Force one embroidered pillow case,
Speaker 1: the thing that's popping into my mind that made me
Speaker 1: bit on it.
Speaker 2: You're like, I gotta smell it first, Yeah, exactly. Let me.
Speaker 1: Does it smell like where there's originals and like kind
Speaker 1: of rotting vegetables.
Speaker 2: Like he's probably well do let me know?
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, baby powder. His scalp has to smell
Speaker 1: like baby powder, right, who Joe Biden. Hmmm. It's just
Speaker 1: it seems so dry.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a medicated.
Speaker 1: Sock, a medicated sock, and I.
Speaker 2: Don't know what that is, but it feels like a
Speaker 2: sock that you put like mentholated cream or something into Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, mix vapor yeah yeah yeah, but like but
Speaker 1: mixed with a foot Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like he just sprays the top of
Speaker 2: his head with like lysol or something and calls it
Speaker 2: a shower.
Speaker 1: A secret that everybody works at the White House knows
Speaker 1: is that if you have if you're having some congestion issues,
Speaker 1: you just smell Joe Biden's scalp and it clears your.
Speaker 2: Ship right outway.
Speaker 1: It's like a bowl of kimchi soup, you know, just
Speaker 1: shit just clears right out. But yeah, I get I
Speaker 1: respect it. I mean, it's clear that journalists aren't being
Speaker 1: paid enough, but it's not it's actually not a good grind.
Speaker 1: It seems like like people aren't paying them.
Speaker 2: Also, I'm sorry, I'm coming the fuck up if I'm
Speaker 2: on Air Force one. I don't give a fuck what
Speaker 2: Kelly O'Donnell has to say. How it makes us look
Speaker 2: these this is my ship, Yeah, this is my tax
Speaker 2: Oh you pay for this, Joe Biden. No, who did
Speaker 2: the taxpayer? So guess what. I will take a blanket,
Speaker 2: I will take the captain's hat. I will try and
Speaker 2: dislodge the fucking you know, the control sticks or whatever
Speaker 2: from the car. I'll do that. Shit. I don't care,
Speaker 2: that's fine, that's mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, just take the whole frame of like the
Speaker 1: lights and the little air thing that blows the air
Speaker 1: on you.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. I just like anything I can basically
Speaker 2: get my grubby little fingers on to just pry off.
Speaker 2: They're like, this guy's like dismantling his row, Like we
Speaker 2: have to get him off the plane, and he keeps
Speaker 2: proclaiming it's his shit. I don't know what. I don't
Speaker 2: know what to do.
Speaker 1: I paid for this. Yeah, that floatation device, I mean
Speaker 1: the seat cushion.
Speaker 2: True, that'd be so funny. You just pull the fuck
Speaker 2: just you know how. Sometimes the seat cushion itself is
Speaker 2: the flotation advice. It's like removable. You just rip that
Speaker 2: shit off and you come. You just saunter off the
Speaker 2: plane with that. You're like, Miles, I'm like what what? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm like a problem. I'm late. My kid has a
Speaker 2: fucking basketball game. I need to go to the fuck
Speaker 2: out of my way.
Speaker 1: The White House's position is the journalists who want a
Speaker 1: souvenir can get a package of eminem's decorated with the
Speaker 1: presidential seal. No, but only sometimes don't want it.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm taking the seat cushion, seat belt. I'll cut
Speaker 2: the seat belt. I'll bring, I'll get scissors, I'll clip
Speaker 2: the seatbelt that's mine.
Speaker 1: That's my seat belt. Now, I'm sorry, I'm just wear
Speaker 1: that as a belt now.
Speaker 2: I feel like every person should feel like that when
Speaker 2: you're in the presence of the opulence of how our
Speaker 2: government spends tax money. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: You know how like people get. We talked about this too,
Speaker 2: especially when like Trump's first administration, with people like Scott
Speaker 2: Pruitt and people being like, I'm gonna I want all
Speaker 2: this money to be like I want a new desk,
Speaker 2: or i want this furniture I want to take I
Speaker 2: want Deanon DeLuca candy. All the time, I'm like, if
Speaker 2: that's how I was spending it, don't fucking look at
Speaker 2: me wild when I go in there and be like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm taking this fucking respirator device from the
Speaker 2: overhead part. I'm taking I'm taking it. I'm taking it.
Speaker 2: I'm taking from them because for years they've been taking
Speaker 2: from me.
Speaker 1: As Tupac says, this wish, this wish, this is my wish.
Speaker 1: So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back.
Speaker 1: You quote Tupaci quote goonies. Yes, that you can actually
Speaker 1: buy one of the souvenir boxes of M and MS
Speaker 1: from the George W. Bush administration for six ninety nine
Speaker 1: on eBay. Right now, that's not making anybody money, man.
Speaker 1: You got to come up with something better than this.
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, my fucking my my seat belt that
Speaker 2: I'm clipping. You know that shit's gonna look right. I'll
Speaker 2: do a nice I'll do nice images. Also the box,
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. This like doesn't feel like you were
Speaker 2: on Air Force one. It looks like you bought like
Speaker 2: it looks like a weird deck of cards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. It looks like a George W. Bush
Speaker 1: deck of cards like you would get at the Houston Airport, but.
Speaker 2: Not like the racist ones where they're like the Al
Speaker 2: Qaeda's Most Wanted DECA cards. Yeah, people were buying like
Speaker 2: in the fucking early odds.
Speaker 1: And this is just a Persian guy. Yeah, we're putting
Speaker 1: on here for reason we ran out of al Qaeda guys.
Speaker 2: Sorry sorry, yeah, no, that that was uh, that was
Speaker 2: Cousin Balk from that Age League TV show there. Sorry,
Speaker 2: sorry to that man.
Speaker 1: All right. And finally, just a rundown of some of
Speaker 1: the April Fools jokes on the Internet. So far. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's always bad. So far, so bad, so far so bad.
Speaker 1: This year feels especially dire. The biggest prank is Elon
Speaker 1: Musk tweeting he was going to work for Disney and
Speaker 1: make their content more woke, which I'm sure his. I'm
Speaker 1: sure there is like an army's worth of people who
Speaker 1: are like stand up and like salute and you know,
Speaker 1: write five laughing crying Emji faces even though it didn't
Speaker 1: even make them smile. But yeah, I mean, right now,
Speaker 1: it's mostly like April Fool's Day on the internet is
Speaker 1: just an excuse for brands to cobble together half hearted
Speaker 1: jokes and bad photoshops in order to, you know, get
Speaker 1: our attention as we're giving it to them right now.
Speaker 1: Ikia Singapore had an ad campaign of invisible objects uh
Speaker 1: spelled I n vsbl uh. I don't know sure.
Speaker 2: I saw seven eleven made Big Bite hot dog flavored
Speaker 2: sparkling water.
Speaker 1: We covered it last week. Yeah you were out?
Speaker 2: Oh really?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, none of it.
Speaker 1: Nothing's like good, no, no, it kind of sucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah. One is like a baby translator. App I saw
Speaker 2: something like that or it's like aiming at your baby
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what it's like, no one cares.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. I think is there
Speaker 2: anything that would make you laugh at this point? Or
Speaker 2: does it just feel like like April Fools has just
Speaker 2: it doesn't fit with our with like the tone of
Speaker 2: society like or what we're like everyone's on EDG. It's like, dude,
Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck about fake hot dog sparkling water.
Speaker 2: Just get the fuck like there's real shit going on,
Speaker 2: Like please, yeah, give a fuck. If Elon is making
Speaker 2: the linguini woke at Disney, as he said in that
Speaker 2: stupid tweet.
Speaker 1: Excited to join at Disney as their chief DEI officer,
Speaker 1: can't wait to work with Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy
Speaker 1: to make their content more woke, even the linguinieh.
Speaker 2: What why is that? I don't know, dude, That's what
Speaker 2: it's like. Who is this for anymore?
Speaker 1: Duncan announced on Instagram they're changing their name to Donuts.
Speaker 2: What just donuts? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It feels yeah, it just feels like people in a
Speaker 1: boardroom like convincing themselves, just saying over and over, that's funny.
Speaker 1: That's actually really funny.
Speaker 2: You know, because our company has a sense of humor.
Speaker 2: We like to have fun, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: unless it's like providing better benefits to our workers. But like, so,
Speaker 2: let's just do something funny, like fart cologne?
Speaker 1: Huhat did somebody do fart colone?
Speaker 2: I know, but that just feels like this the kind
Speaker 2: of shit there's a sierrachet toothpaste. I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I'm like so, I don't know
Speaker 2: why my response is like this. It's almost like maybe
Speaker 2: it's like why you're like, hey, kids, do better with
Speaker 2: your pranks. Yeah, it's like this ain't this is such
Speaker 2: first draft foolery. Yeah, like really, fuck with my sense
Speaker 2: of reality. Say, my fucking cat died, man, I need
Speaker 2: to fucking feel something.
Speaker 1: All right. Finally, I just we're just keeping an eye
Speaker 1: on this. We mentioned that there's a big a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff happening in the run up to the solar
Speaker 1: eclipse next week or is that later this.
Speaker 2: Week from today?
Speaker 1: A week from today. Yeah, it's like, you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of tourism, a lot of people traveling to the
Speaker 1: path of the solar eclipse, and like we we mentioned
Speaker 1: in a previous one in a previous story, about this
Speaker 1: that like Indianapolis's eclipse numbers, like the amount of people
Speaker 1: they have visiting Indianapolis is like way higher than the
Speaker 1: number of people they had visiting for the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: when they had the Super Bowl there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's going to be absolutely like all of
Speaker 1: these towns are going to be completely overrun, to the
Speaker 1: point that the mayor of Niagara Falls, which National Geographics
Speaker 1: suggested was one of the best places to see the eclipse,
Speaker 1: just declared a state of emergency as a precautionary measure.
Speaker 1: And like, this is this is a tourist trap. Like
Speaker 1: I guess I wouldn't call it a tourist trap because
Speaker 1: it is like a cool thing to see, but it's
Speaker 1: a town that is based on drawing.
Speaker 2: Tourists that right right, buying over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not going to be able to deal with
Speaker 1: this shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just good luck, good luck to these small
Speaker 2: places that are going to have like seven millillion people
Speaker 2: pull up looking directly into an eclipse with no protective eyewear,
Speaker 2: because your hospitals will also be overflowing with people with
Speaker 2: eye injuries. But I don't know, they're like, you know,
Speaker 2: part of me is like, ah, man, that's gonna be
Speaker 2: so cool, Like it's gonna be a state of emergency.
Speaker 2: That's how many people want to be in the path
Speaker 2: of totality. But then I'm like, oh no, that that
Speaker 2: actually sounds like the worst way to do it. Like
Speaker 2: I feel like the best way is if you could
Speaker 2: find some random spot just to be there and like
Speaker 2: not have to have like a bunch of people like
Speaker 2: oh well the eclipse, the eclipse, like just to try and
Speaker 2: experience it in a more I guess natural way. But
Speaker 2: I don't know. I like hearing about like everybody is
Speaker 2: like preparing, Like it's like all police officers and like
Speaker 2: emergency career, like they're on alert to like make sure
Speaker 2: everything is fine, like they're able to deal with the
Speaker 2: amounts of people. It feels like this setting for a
Speaker 2: great or terrible bank heist film.
Speaker 1: Like Miles, I love this pitch. This is an amazing idea.
Speaker 2: I know you're reading the notes, but it's this group
Speaker 2: of bank croppers. Oh, they're planning a series of high
Speaker 2: profile bank robberies, and but the thing that has that
Speaker 2: they have in common is that all of these banks
Speaker 2: and maybe a federal reserve they lie in the path
Speaker 2: of totality of the eclipse, and because of that, the
Speaker 2: municipality's law enforcement resources will be so strained that they
Speaker 2: can take advantage of this moment and upscond with millions
Speaker 2: of dollars.
Speaker 1: You have the timing down, you know, like thee because
Speaker 1: you have to do it during the eclipse while everybody's
Speaker 1: distracted and staring at the sun with like bad glasses.
Speaker 1: Maybe you do maybe you switch out the glasses, like
Speaker 1: a shipment of the glasses Ocean's eleven style to like
Speaker 1: so that everybody's blinded after the eclipse, all.
Speaker 2: The innocent people and children who just wanted to see it.
Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry pal, Sorry, Yeah, maybe that would be too
Speaker 1: mean for Ocean's eleven. So maybe they just like somehow

Speaker 1: sort of thing the Internet loves, the timing of it,
Speaker 1: the it's happening during the workday, right, so it's like
Speaker 1: a distraction on a Monday. And then the possibility of

Speaker 2: truth or an observation you have in a way that
Speaker 2: maybe not.
