Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of squid Game.
Speaker 1: The child trend uh play on squid Game. The challenge
Speaker 1: imperfect slant rhyme, but it's all right, look the best
Speaker 1: the best rappers. I'm jack, that's mild. These are some
Speaker 1: of the things that are friending the squid game that
Speaker 1: challenges trending is child trending? What is that? So that's
Speaker 1: the reality show version of squid Game. Man. People really
Speaker 1: seem to like this show about the dystopian world in
Speaker 1: which people compete for their lives and put their lives
Speaker 1: in danger to win. For I forget what the money is?
Speaker 1: Is a lot of money in the show? Um? Oh yeah?
Speaker 1: Because it wasn't everybody every American googling how much like
Speaker 1: four billion wand was like Korea wanted to be like
Speaker 1: how much money is that? I'm like, okay, I get that.
Speaker 1: So Netflix was like, let's do the show within the show,
Speaker 1: because hey, we live in a dystopian world. Let's let's
Speaker 1: give that ship a shot. So they have been filming
Speaker 1: the reality competition to end all reality competitions, and apparently
Speaker 1: they're also trying to kill their contestants because a handful
Speaker 1: of contestants for Netflix's in development reality show squig Game.
Speaker 1: The challenge needed medical attention on Monday. This is according
Speaker 1: to The Verge, after enduring freezing temperatures on set, which
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it was even part of the challenge.
Speaker 1: It just seems like they funked up and forgot to
Speaker 1: like have heat for the set. The series is currently
Speaker 1: being filmed across two studios in the UK, where temperatures
Speaker 1: reportedly reached a low of thirty degrees fahrenheit negative one
Speaker 1: celsius on Monday while filming a game of red Light
Speaker 1: green Light that like that wasn't the point of red
Speaker 1: light green Like red Light green Light was if you moved,
Speaker 1: you got shot, You got shot. Nobody moved, nobody get hurt.
Speaker 1: And so this version apparently involves freezing everybody to death
Speaker 1: because it resulted in at least one contestant being stretchered off.
Speaker 1: It's a wow, I mean, it's a it's a good
Speaker 1: prize though. So in squid Game, it was forty five
Speaker 1: billion one forty five point six billion one, which is
Speaker 1: and then everyone's like, oh, that's about thirty eight point
Speaker 1: two million. You know, at the time, people are searching.
Speaker 1: So I guess now it makes sense. The prize is
Speaker 1: four point five six million dollars. Yeah, you know, we'll
Speaker 1: see if this is a hit first. But it's a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Man, that is a lot of money. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: how cheap Netflix is with their budgets for like unscripted
Speaker 1: shows to have a four and a half million dollar
Speaker 1: prize and I'm like, there, that's a big swing. And
Speaker 1: they do have the same Remember how like every contestant
Speaker 1: is worth a certain amount of money or like what
Speaker 1: once a contestant dies, they put their money, their share
Speaker 1: into the big piggy bank. Um. So this starts with
Speaker 1: a total of four hundred and fifty six global contestants. Wow,
Speaker 1: and then it ends up with one person getting all
Speaker 1: four and fifty six million or sorry, four point five
Speaker 1: six million dollars. Cool figured out. I would just ask
Speaker 1: them to not recreate the killing, the endangering the lives
Speaker 1: of part I mean, how far off are we from
Speaker 1: the running man? Not very far, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like we're I've already seen so many Slap League highlights
Speaker 1: like on the internet, and this last month I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe what the fun the states of the State of
Speaker 1: these participants are by the end of it, we were
Speaker 1: like that dude Dana White slapping his wife on camera.
Speaker 1: Away from that being like the new NFL in in
Speaker 1: the United States, like yes, Piano was just straight up
Speaker 1: gearing up. They were like Slap League coming from UFC
Speaker 1: when you see like a thing where it's like we're
Speaker 1: trying to do squid Game, when you're like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we didn't need to do the fucking real life version
Speaker 1: of this, like you know, a commentary on our society.
Speaker 1: But okay, maybe, well we'll see. I reserve my judgment.
Speaker 1: Just don't people, I say, either you go all in
Speaker 1: or you don't at all, go bigger, don't think killing people. Yes,
Speaker 1: what the funk man, I'm ready. No, I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: we're already. We're already you know, destroying ourselves through just
Speaker 1: absolutely neglect. Anyway, So The Bachelor, we got to we
Speaker 1: got a double reality up top here. So what's going
Speaker 1: on with The Bachelor? They already got a fucking blackface
Speaker 1: scandal going this show. There's always some weird racism adjacent
Speaker 1: shipped going on the past couple of times I've gone on,
Speaker 1: will you accept this? Rose? The Bachelor Podcast that super
Speaker 1: producer and it produces. There's always been some like weird
Speaker 1: racist fun were we going on? Remember they to get
Speaker 1: rid of the host because he was like not built
Speaker 1: to have conversations around race at all. And the most
Speaker 1: recent one is one of these contestants named Greer Blitzer.
Speaker 1: That name I could not believe is real, but shout
Speaker 1: out to you, greer Um. Apparently it was caught like
Speaker 1: people were going through her social media posts of of
Speaker 1: yr and found that she was like, you know, caping
Speaker 1: for some friend of hers that was in black face,
Speaker 1: or like other students at her school. Like. Some of
Speaker 1: the quotes from her defense was quote, the students involved
Speaker 1: didn't even know what black face was. So my point exactly,
Speaker 1: it wasn't an intentional racist act. They didn't know what
Speaker 1: black face was. If they don't know what black face is,
Speaker 1: how could it be racist. They just wanted to look
Speaker 1: like Tupac. Oh my god. Then goes on to say, quote,
Speaker 1: she did not paint herself black because she felt superior
Speaker 1: to black people, and then also said quote, putting white
Speaker 1: powder on your face isn't okay either. That didn't make
Speaker 1: the news, did it? Wow? Why why not a white
Speaker 1: Entertainment Network, the classic my favorite just out yourself please
Speaker 1: with that question. If there's Black Entertainment official, why isn't
Speaker 1: there that? So yeah, she's gone on to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that was a terrible time, and that's what about
Speaker 1: reparations for me for the slow service I received at
Speaker 1: starbuck previously. I have places to go to and this
Speaker 1: held me back in a way. But yeah, she apologized.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, like, it's this seems like
Speaker 1: part and parcel of so many reality shows not vetting
Speaker 1: people that end up on TV or they just don't
Speaker 1: give it, or they don't give it or they don't
Speaker 1: give a fun don't give that. You know that they're
Speaker 1: exposing people to this and it makes for good TV
Speaker 1: and it makes for a scandal, which increases ratings. So
Speaker 1: you know, but what a weird way to chum the waters, Like,
Speaker 1: hey man, she's racist. You guys want to come see? Like, nah,
Speaker 1: thanks experiencing that in some fucked up way every day.
Speaker 1: Justin Royland is trending adult swim cut to eyes with
Speaker 1: him earlier this week. Uh, they will be recasting the
Speaker 1: lead role on Rick and Morty because I guess he
Speaker 1: did the voice or voices. Keep going with that. But man, like,
Speaker 1: once the accusations started coming out, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this man is a full on sexual predator. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: not so funny. There's funny. Someone on the internet was
Speaker 1: posting there was like a a video that he did
Speaker 1: for like Wired or like a vanity Fair where he
Speaker 1: was rating other people's impressions of his voice. And then
Speaker 1: someone was like, man, just watch this video. He basically
Speaker 1: does his own recasting in this one. And he's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that guy's got it, and they're like, yeah, take no, okay,
Speaker 1: so we should get that person who sounds identical. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a sad day. I saw a guy with today.
Speaker 1: He had like a Rick and Morty air freshener, and
Speaker 1: he saw that I cocked it like and he was
Speaker 1: like he's like ah, yeah, he's like sucks. What's going on?
Speaker 1: And You're like that could mean many things? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't even going on what they're doing. Yeah, I was like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean, like the victims, like the fact
Speaker 1: that we can't seem to get a handle on predators
Speaker 1: and the entertainment and like what what what? What does
Speaker 1: it mean? But I decided to just keep it moving. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back in Newport News, home of Alan Iverson.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and I wish this could be slightly happier.
Speaker 1: But basically, well, I think we talked a few weeks
Speaker 1: ago about, you know, a six year old brought a
Speaker 1: gun to school and then then shot their teacher, and
Speaker 1: everyone's like, what the funk is going on? Well, now
Speaker 1: the teacher is suing the school district because it turns
Speaker 1: out that the school and administration had many opportunities to
Speaker 1: do something about this kid throughout the day because people
Speaker 1: were complaining that he was threatening people or that they
Speaker 1: suspected he had a gun. And then the administration was like, ah,
Speaker 1: the school days almost over, so like will like maybe
Speaker 1: he won't come with it tomorrow or something, or another
Speaker 1: thing was like I searched his bag, but I think
Speaker 1: maybe he took it out and put it in his
Speaker 1: pocket before a recess. And then people like, well, your
Speaker 1: small pockets. Probably no, I probably doesn't even have the gun.
Speaker 1: And then a child, a child came up to another
Speaker 1: teacher and said, this boy showed me his gun and
Speaker 1: said he would shoot me if I told anybody that
Speaker 1: he had it m hm like numerous times and it
Speaker 1: resulted in her being shot. Jesus uh. And it's just like,
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of like what the situation of the student, like,
Speaker 1: you can't as administrators like what the fuck? Like how
Speaker 1: could you? How could you not do anything at all?
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they're going to have their own version
Speaker 1: of this, which again will have to be you know,
Speaker 1: adjudicated in the courts or whatever. But to hear that
Speaker 1: and to have like multiple people be like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: also heard about him before the shooting and then someone
Speaker 1: just said relax Jesus Christ, like come on. So yeah,
Speaker 1: very very strange, I mean, sad fucking development there, because
Speaker 1: like if it if when the teacher could have another student,
Speaker 1: like what do you what's the policy? We're going through
Speaker 1: a weird thing as a zeitgeist with like I've been
Speaker 1: noticing a lot of videos with people being like this
Speaker 1: adult beats the ship out of this kid, like this
Speaker 1: kid fights this adult and then the adult like choke
Speaker 1: slams them. Did he go too far or not far enough?
Speaker 1: And then I was like whoa, what a fucking broken country?
Speaker 1: And then like I scrolled down and there was like
Speaker 1: another one of those. It's just like people, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like teacher body student after a student calls teacher
Speaker 1: N word. Yeah, like what the that she was on
Speaker 1: Reddit earlier? Yeah yeah, I was like this is and
Speaker 1: I think with cameras, like we see everything now all
Speaker 1: the time, but there's definitely like this, there's like a
Speaker 1: a psychic stress level. Yea is breaking people like because
Speaker 1: you also see the man. There's like even more fighting
Speaker 1: and sporting events than normal too, Like there's just like
Speaker 1: there's like that slow boil of tension that is, it's
Speaker 1: almost like having a cataclysmic apocalypse and regular mass shootings
Speaker 1: and a system that refuses to do anything about it actively. Um,
Speaker 1: is not good for the psychic health of a civilization. No,
Speaker 1: but yeah, even more important to look out for yourself
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure who will. Yeah yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: Adam Scott, this trending so I didn't realize this. Adam
Speaker 1: Scott kind of got his first Adam Scott, if you
Speaker 1: don't know, is from um Parks and Wreck where played
Speaker 1: Ben Wyatt. Um, what you big Parks rect? What you
Speaker 1: pulled that name? Quick? I'm looking at I'm looking at
Speaker 1: a thing that was like Jack okay, all right, Mr
Speaker 1: Pawnee his his performance and Stepbrothers, which is the first
Speaker 1: thing I ever saw, and it was one of my
Speaker 1: favorite comedic performances uh this period. And he plays like
Speaker 1: the asshole brother of one of the stepbrothers and he
Speaker 1: sings this that acapella so good. Um. And then you
Speaker 1: know Severance, which I thought it was very good. And
Speaker 1: she actually got his start on Boy Meets World when
Speaker 1: he was young and one years old when he joined
Speaker 1: the series as a recurring cast member. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's right at the picture phone, Like that's think he
Speaker 1: was playing like a sixteen year old. But he was
Speaker 1: every dude think of like every shows people like People
Speaker 1: Were like forty two playing like seventeen year old in
Speaker 1: the nineties and Home Alone was um. So he was
Speaker 1: kind of brought in towards the end of the first season,
Speaker 1: I believe, to replace one of the characters as a
Speaker 1: school bully. So they have a like most shows that
Speaker 1: were popular uh in the nineties that they have a
Speaker 1: rewatch podcast, and they brought him in as a guest
Speaker 1: and he came and he was like, all right, I
Speaker 1: got some ship to say, like had some real trauma
Speaker 1: from when he did this. Kicked off the discussion, saying
Speaker 1: that once he knew he was going to be speaking
Speaker 1: with them on the podcast, he told his family that
Speaker 1: he was looking forward to finally asking Rider about something
Speaker 1: that's been bothering him for twenty nine years. Right, Strong
Speaker 1: of course, but s the fuck writer, Yes, So he
Speaker 1: said basically that, I mean, it's all like very minor stuff.
Speaker 1: But at the end of a at the end of
Speaker 1: like one day, like when everybody had wrapped out and
Speaker 1: everyone was doing the like celebration we finished. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: it was like then to the first season. The scene ends,
Speaker 1: everyone just erupts and starts cheering. Blake and Ethan high
Speaker 1: five and hug. They come up to me and high
Speaker 1: five and are just cheering, and Blake and Ethan go
Speaker 1: up to you Writer and give you a high five
Speaker 1: and hug you. And after that they do that, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: congratulations buddy, and give you a high five and go
Speaker 1: in and hug. And as I do that, you push
Speaker 1: me off and you give me this look like wait
Speaker 1: a second, who the fuck are you? And then you
Speaker 1: ran away. Wow, And Righter Strong said, are you serious?
Speaker 1: Why would I do that? And like everyone's just like
Speaker 1: visibly uncomfortable the whole time. Uh. And then he also
Speaker 1: says that to Panga Hold everyone that nobody liked Adam Scott,
Speaker 1: it's so funny just to like come to one of
Speaker 1: these rewatch things and just have these like petty things
Speaker 1: that happened on set, Yeah, and just take them very seriously.
Speaker 1: Was it like, was it meant to be like was
Speaker 1: he exercising his own demons or was it? Oh, could
Speaker 1: you imagine They're like he's like surprised, motherfucker. Guess what
Speaker 1: Rider and Daniel, you think I forgot that shop? He said,
Speaker 1: Nobody on set light me. Yeah, look, Adam, you're doing
Speaker 1: so much better than they are, so and and that's
Speaker 1: not really you don't you shouldn't use comparison to feel
Speaker 1: better about yourself. But if you're gonna get caught up
Speaker 1: in their words, you know, use your place too, you know,
Speaker 1: soothe your wounds. Yeah, I do like that. I think
Speaker 1: I think more rewatch shows need to need to bring
Speaker 1: their beef. Yeah, the beef later. We wanted a Samantha podcast,
Speaker 1: a Sex in the City Samantha podcast with her just
Speaker 1: Aaron laundry out. I think every person on Earth wanted
Speaker 1: something like that, because when you know there's tension, like
Speaker 1: just bring it all out. I want to know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyways, and then Lebron it just seems I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it was. It was a loss for the Lakers. These
Speaker 1: are not uncommon this season. I am I am now
Speaker 1: invested in pulling for the Laker. I mean, I'm always
Speaker 1: pulling for Lebron. Lebron. Yeah, he's playing so well. How
Speaker 1: could you? I mean, like playing so great? Again, I
Speaker 1: look up to this I look up to this young
Speaker 1: man because I am two months is three months as held,
Speaker 1: but I still look up to this man. Um. But
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people just the way we
Speaker 1: lost and how well he was playing and like carrying
Speaker 1: the team, and then like juxtaposing that with some of
Speaker 1: the other performances from wrestle well Brook, it's just been
Speaker 1: I think because at that point right now, especially to
Speaker 1: where we've traded for really and we look like, hey,
Speaker 1: with a couple other moves, this could at least look
Speaker 1: better than just adding, like really hutching more into the team.
Speaker 1: And I think now when you look at that, I
Speaker 1: think a straw broke for a lot of fans who
Speaker 1: felt like my I myself. I was even telling you
Speaker 1: in Jabari, like before recording Mad Boost He's I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, Russing, really they played good together. And after
Speaker 1: that game, I'm like, he's got to go. We're building something,
Speaker 1: we have to do something. Now it's just not going
Speaker 1: to work. But yeah, yeah, but it seems like this lost.
Speaker 1: So they lost to the Clippers, which is the team
Speaker 1: that you are. You know, it shows your Your treatment
Speaker 1: of Clipper fans and the Clippers franchise general shows me
Speaker 1: a side of you, the pure hate you didn't know.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing I'm I'm a very loyal person,
Speaker 1: so when there's a rivalry, like I'm right or fucking die.
Speaker 1: That's why with like Arsenal, like fucking I screamed out
Speaker 1: of my car somebody had a Tottenham jacket when I
Speaker 1: was coming back from the store. Yeah, not to say
Speaker 1: fuck you, because I remember the time you said the
Speaker 1: guy came up to you. He pulled up on you
Speaker 1: because you had a sixer's hat and just like scream
Speaker 1: curse words and I was like, now, you can't be
Speaker 1: doing that. I just wouldn't scream directly at me. He
Speaker 1: had a phone conversation about me. Oh shit, I drove
Speaker 1: by and I said, boom totten on him and her
Speaker 1: Matthews and the see she goes, Yo, shut the funk up.
Speaker 1: Why are you screaming over me? And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: my bad, my bad, I'm rapping it. Yeah, because you
Speaker 1: gotta put your back for a second. Hey, fu face, No,
Speaker 1: I don't you know when it's strangers, I don't curse,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because I'm not trying to escalate,
Speaker 1: but I gotta let him know where I'm at. But
Speaker 1: and again I'm not saying this is a healthy way
Speaker 1: to go about life. It really actually one of the
Speaker 1: most unhealthy ways because you'll live with a bunch of
Speaker 1: spite in your heart. But yeah, watching the Clippers, I
Speaker 1: mean they were shooting like sixty five from three at
Speaker 1: one point, and I was like, we can't it. It
Speaker 1: was just it was a terrible loss. And I gotta
Speaker 1: give it to him. They they absolutely blew our freaking
Speaker 1: socks off. Yeah, but if you look at it, and
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to look at somebody like Lebron was
Speaker 1: playing so hard at this age and be like it
Speaker 1: can't be for nothing. It shouldn't be. And it makes
Speaker 1: me ask because this is the worst team that he's
Speaker 1: ever been on, and I, I mean, how the fund
Speaker 1: could he get this team to the finals? Like this
Speaker 1: team as it is, this would be the great Like
Speaker 1: I feel like this would put him in the driver's
Speaker 1: seat of the goat conversation. If he was somehow able
Speaker 1: to like just drag this team's one Washington Wizards to
Speaker 1: the finals on his back, Yeah, that would be something.
Speaker 1: So this does feel like I don't know, there's a
Speaker 1: there's been a sea change in the Laker nation. They're
Speaker 1: no longer dealing with it. Well, uh, somebody heckled Lebron
Speaker 1: about his hairline. Lebron looked like he wanted to kind
Speaker 1: of square up, square up with the guy. Was it
Speaker 1: Phil Handy who kind of held him back? It looked like,
Speaker 1: don't somebody one of the coaches held Lebron like not
Speaker 1: really held him back, but the guys like, yo, what's
Speaker 1: up with that hairline? Get your chick together, Lebron? And
Speaker 1: he definitely heard him and like faced him but didn't
Speaker 1: move forward. But any whatever, it's it's a toxic environment
Speaker 1: at the Crypto dot Com Arena at the home keep
Speaker 1: your head up, Lebron, Lebron James, keep your head up, buddy.
Speaker 1: You you got some fans out here. Um. Alright, those
Speaker 1: are some of the things that are trending. We are
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the last episode of the show. Until then,
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
Speaker 1: the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we
Speaker 1: will talk to y'all tomorrow. By bye.
