Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of NBA
Speaker 1: Champions The Trendver Nuggets.
Speaker 2: Aka I Need to Go.
Speaker 1: Trend courtesy of super Producer on Josie The NBA Champion TREMBERR.
Speaker 1: Nuggets courtesy of Paul Garaventa PG. Yeah, I'm Jack, that's Miles.
Speaker 2: Yeah. This is our second crack at it. The first
Speaker 2: one was two dynamic. We were blowing dynamic. It was
Speaker 2: it was blowing the microphones out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like uh Jokic energy has taken
Speaker 1: the Internet by storm. I feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: people just watched the final game of the Finals and
Speaker 1: are like, wait, this guy is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Shit. They're like, does this guy give a shit that
Speaker 2: he just won. It's like, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: yeah he does, but also he just I guess. Let's
Speaker 2: just play the operative clip when he's being asked about, Hey,
Speaker 2: excited for the parade and he's like, what, well parade
Speaker 2: coming up in Denver Man's parade? When is the pray?
Speaker 2: When is pray Thursday? No? No, I need to go home. Okay,
Speaker 2: Han's over his eyes.
Speaker 1: Worst news we got in that day is that there's
Speaker 1: going to be a championship parade. He went and fucked
Speaker 1: everything up and went and won the damn thing, and
Speaker 1: now he has to go to a damn championship parade.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's half performance, are half like sincerely leaning into
Speaker 2: your feelings and not just doing the media trained thing
Speaker 2: about being like, yeah, it's going to be great to
Speaker 2: celebrate with all the fans you know in our town.
Speaker 2: Or he's just going I gotta go home, man. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he like.
Speaker 1: There's also a great five second video clip of him
Speaker 1: celebrating the championship by shaking champagne in the most half
Speaker 1: hearted way that anybody has ever done that, and then it.
Speaker 2: Felt contractually obligated. Yes, I think we need to get
Speaker 2: the champagne. Yeah. I think he's just like, there's just
Speaker 2: something cool about being so good at something and then
Speaker 2: outwardly being like and I don't give a fuck, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? And then I think also his
Speaker 2: energy is big, like people like just hating their job. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I want to everyone connect to that one.
Speaker 1: The job hating king this guy, but he's just fun.
Speaker 1: Like one time, I think we talked about it on
Speaker 1: Miles and Jack on Matt Boost. He's like, during the
Speaker 1: second round they had won the first two games in
Speaker 1: a series against Phoenix, and someone was like, so, do
Speaker 1: you you expect them now to like come out with
Speaker 1: more energy in game three, and he gave an answer
Speaker 1: to the effect of no, my friend, I think they'll
Speaker 1: surrender and give us the wins.
Speaker 2: It was just very like dead pan.
Speaker 1: He seems like a genuinely funny, weird person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, player, No, they're going to surrender and fall down.
Speaker 1: Anna read on this is that my thoughts that he's
Speaker 1: like leaning into this for comedic effect are incorrect. She said,
Speaker 1: you have spend enough time with an immigrant dad who
Speaker 1: has to go home, which, yeah, maybe the case.
Speaker 2: I get it to him for someone who's not American
Speaker 2: like and who is famously being like, when I'm not here,
Speaker 2: I go back to Serbia with my horses. Big for
Speaker 2: to be bro, I'm trying to get back to these
Speaker 2: Horses's no offense to Denver, but I'm about these horses.
Speaker 1: They need to let him ride the horses, like ride
Speaker 1: in his little horse sled that has built for people
Speaker 1: like one third his size down the main street of Denver.
Speaker 2: That's right. He makes a Clydesdale look like a quarter
Speaker 2: horse when he's on top of it.
Speaker 1: Where's big news For those of us who love the
Speaker 1: Disney live action remakes. Sarah Polly, you know, one of
Speaker 1: our most promising young up and coming directors, directed Women
Speaker 1: Talking this year.
Speaker 2: From the movie Go nineteen Obviously.
Speaker 1: Actor and now director won An Oscar for the screenplay
Speaker 1: for Women Talking Could Have Any Job, and is currently
Speaker 1: in talks to direct the live action Bambi for Disney.
Speaker 2: This sucks, Miles No, no, look, I get Lion King,
Speaker 2: I get Jungle Book, I even get Little Mermaid to
Speaker 2: an extent, because you're not You're not hanging out in
Speaker 2: the tropical ocean looking at crabs that close. Most of
Speaker 2: us have seen a deer. Yeah you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: and like they are very low energy. Although I might
Speaker 2: be saying I don't like this because Bambi was one
Speaker 2: of those original films like traumatized me because I didn't
Speaker 2: like the like when the mom gets got you know
Speaker 2: in the beginning, that like fucked me up. So in
Speaker 2: a way, I'm also averse to Bambi because I don't
Speaker 2: like I don't like that part.
Speaker 1: One of the most reliant, i'd say probably the most
Speaker 1: reliant of the Disney animations. On the animals being able
Speaker 1: to emote and be like anthropomorphized and seem friendly and
Speaker 1: adorable and not just look like they are in a
Speaker 1: nature documentary. And as of yet, if The Little Mermaid
Speaker 1: is any indication, I haven't seen it, but we interview
Speaker 1: film expert Daniel O'Brien on tomorrow's episode and he did
Speaker 1: see it and confirmed that just having Nature documentary style
Speaker 1: animals whose lips move like they're talking is continues to
Speaker 1: be a problem for these live action Disney movies. I
Speaker 1: can't image unless they have some technology that they figured
Speaker 1: out to make a little rabbit have the personality of Thumper,
Speaker 1: Like they just need to skip this one.
Speaker 2: Or what if it's heavy like Sarah Pauly's like, y'all
Speaker 2: do it well, Like just like I'm talking about like
Speaker 2: these like isolated men to night women, We're gonna go
Speaker 2: there with Bambi and it just fucks kids up. I mean,
Speaker 2: then maybe I'll be in for that. And like the opening,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, like the Mother Game kills, it's like
Speaker 2: super gruesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get to see them like clean the deer
Speaker 1: and yeah, it goes back just a it's like the
Speaker 1: Barbie thing. It's like an existentialist thing where the animals
Speaker 1: become self aware and they're like, ah, what and then like.
Speaker 2: They team up to kill the hunters next time. They're like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: let's get them this time.
Speaker 1: Maybe this could be the movie that we've been pitching
Speaker 1: where all the animals you it's okay, it's the happening
Speaker 1: meets Jaws and birds combined. The animals turn on humanity.
Speaker 1: Why has this not happened yet?
Speaker 2: And it's just called Bambi.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's in the works, it's called Bambi.
Speaker 2: It also feels like this thing like studios do this
Speaker 2: a lot too, where they take someone who's like not
Speaker 2: necessarily a blockbuster director, like an Indie Darling type director,
Speaker 2: and then they put them at the helm of a
Speaker 2: super high budget film. Yeah, because to also give like,
Speaker 2: you know, any kind of like have a fall person too,
Speaker 2: Like if the things don't go right, they're like, well,
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously this young directors that was the problem,
Speaker 2: not our idea. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Colin Trevorroh was like this director who made this really
Speaker 1: small movie called Safety Not Guaranteed that was like kind
Speaker 1: of like a mumble core time travel thing, but it
Speaker 1: like really the whole charm of it was that like
Speaker 1: you felt like you were watching like a small indie
Speaker 1: film and then there were like these fantastical elements built
Speaker 1: into it, and like the lack of effects and the
Speaker 1: lack of like, you know, glossiness kind of played into
Speaker 1: what was good about that movie. And they took him
Speaker 1: from that and were like, you're directing Jurassic World now,
Speaker 1: and your job is to just say yes to all
Speaker 1: of our notes, right, and like that seems to be
Speaker 1: the genuine like direction that a lot of careers go,
Speaker 1: and like that that seems to be like I'm all for,
Speaker 1: you know, mixing in the blockbusters.
Speaker 2: I love blockbusters.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times they're they're great. But
Speaker 1: like when you're taking really promising young talent and being
Speaker 1: like your job is to let the marketing department direct
Speaker 1: to your film, like that's kind of a fucking bummer
Speaker 1: that that's, you know, a direction that some careers are
Speaker 1: taking that could otherwise be promising. So hopefully Sarah Paul
Speaker 1: is just in talks and is not doesn't sign on and.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah and gohr, Sarah Poul advocate for the movie
Speaker 2: you want to make. Yeah, Yeah, Like we're thinking, are
Speaker 2: there even songs. What are the songs in Bambi? I
Speaker 2: don't remember.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was just a pretty straightforward snuff
Speaker 1: film about Bambi's mom and my memory, because like that's.
Speaker 2: The thing that sticks. I know there's Thumperumper, and I
Speaker 2: know the mom gets killed in the beginning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then but it's really just a lot of
Speaker 1: like the cutest animated animals you've ever seen, like batting
Speaker 1: their like literally batting their eyelashes at.
Speaker 2: You, right, yeah, exactly. Can you imagine? It's like they
Speaker 2: do it all real. It's like the deer got like
Speaker 2: gunk in its eyes and shit, I mean like like
Speaker 2: wipe your face off of Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jack Smith, he's given Jacks He's put Jacks back in
Speaker 1: the spotlight, and I'm psyched Jack Baby.
Speaker 2: Li Borrough, Jesus Layne, He's the new lib savior and
Speaker 2: look he's going after Trump for the stolen documents. If
Speaker 2: you if you haven't heard but people again, we'll talk
Speaker 2: about it on tomorrow show. Like there's March coming out.
Speaker 2: People are loving the Jack Smith vibes. You see people
Speaker 2: display names changing to like Jacksmith's stand account. But this
Speaker 2: one line of reporting is getting a lot of love
Speaker 2: from the Jack Smith fans. Hugo Lol of The Guardian
Speaker 2: and other people who are in the court room said
Speaker 2: that mister Smith sat in the front road during Trump's
Speaker 2: arraignment on federal charges of documents after leaving the White
Speaker 2: House out of and quote stared towards the former president
Speaker 2: for essentially the entire appearance. O's mad dogging Trump.
Speaker 1: Dudes, what if he's just a big fan though, Like,
Speaker 1: what if he's.
Speaker 2: Really into him? He's like, what's he gonna do? Getting
Speaker 2: cold too, He's like, Oh, does this guy really deserve it?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 2: God, is he gonna kick my ass? This guy's gonna
Speaker 2: kick my ass? Man, I know what, Jack, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: broak coward.
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. We'll look at a clip of
Speaker 1: him on tomorrow's episode. But I think he needs to
Speaker 1: give more doing all of this big grudgingly lately.
Speaker 2: Yo, kicch energy? Yeah, I mean yeah, or have the
Speaker 2: energy of being like, man, they're not gonna they're not
Speaker 2: gonna fucking find him guilty. Yeah, he consequences, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: all right. He's like, look, I got an ironclad case,
Speaker 2: but that shit won't matter anyway. Let's home. I want
Speaker 2: to go home. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 2: and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back and the UPS, the UPS as the
Speaker 1: UPS teams three unions have finally got the company to
Speaker 1: agree to adding air conditioning to delivery vehicles. This is
Speaker 1: something we've been fighting for a while now, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: especially since last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're a UPS driver died, you know,
Speaker 2: because of the heat heat stroke. There are other people
Speaker 2: who have said they've had like terrible health outcomes because
Speaker 2: UPS's policy is like you got to turn the car
Speaker 2: off when you're not using it at a red light
Speaker 2: or whatever to not waste gas. And it's like then
Speaker 2: you will not have a c on if you have
Speaker 2: to turn the fucking car off. And then now they're
Speaker 2: like adding their saying like well that heat shields too,
Speaker 2: to like we get that the engine also make heat
Speaker 2: and that's not good for human bodies. So you know,
Speaker 2: they're doing the bare minimum. They still haven't ratified a
Speaker 2: new agreement, so you know, we'll see where that goes,
Speaker 2: because that would be a gigantic, massive disruptive strike if
Speaker 2: they if they if they went that way. But again,
Speaker 2: that's what you gotta do when you when you know
Speaker 2: when you gotta treat your workers with you know, the
Speaker 2: bare minimum, give them a fair wage, or not expect
Speaker 2: them to cook in a fucking car when we're facing
Speaker 2: this kind of fucked up climate change every day.
Speaker 1: People who are anti union, I'm just always like, how
Speaker 1: do you how do you spin this one? When the
Speaker 1: union's like, could you just like not bake them alive?
Speaker 1: Like could we do that?
Speaker 2: The people who I know who are like not all
Speaker 2: in on unions are the most non confrontational I don't
Speaker 2: want to rock the boat type of people. Sure, yeah too,
Speaker 2: Like personally who I've like talked about and they're like, well,
Speaker 2: why would they? I'm like, because this because that's how
Speaker 2: you get shit.
Speaker 1: This is the only way that the company will protect
Speaker 1: the physical fucking safety of the people who literally drive
Speaker 1: their business.
Speaker 2: And it's also people who are typically in areas of
Speaker 2: work that they're doing well and there's no concept of like,
Speaker 2: well why would you, Oh well I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, because you're a fucking you have somebody
Speaker 2: advanced degree and you're like, a you have a lot
Speaker 2: of money. Yeah, And also something I mean we've talked
Speaker 2: a lot of.
Speaker 1: Delivery driving recently and we talked to a Domino's delivery driver,
Speaker 1: and I think Christy Amagucci Mame was was pointing out
Speaker 1: to us that, like, delivery driver is an incredibly dangerous job,
Speaker 1: just like being a driver in general out on the roads.
Speaker 2: But yeah, delivery driver is really dangerous.
Speaker 1: You're out there with other cars, You're out there with
Speaker 1: racist and well armed Americans. Like it's yea.
Speaker 2: Again, it's more you are more likely to suffer injury
Speaker 2: or death than a police officer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because police officers, I mean not just because, but
Speaker 1: like police officers have strong unions that fucking work on
Speaker 1: their behalf.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately in that case.
Speaker 1: All right, Reddit, the Reddit blackouts are going down, still
Speaker 1: going down.
Speaker 2: Can't get to some of my favorite subreddits. There's a
Speaker 2: big protest happening. Yeah, Jack, and we're not fans, just
Speaker 2: get no, they don't like protests.
Speaker 1: So over two and a half billion Reddit users have
Speaker 1: gone dark on the platform in protest of recent API changes,
Speaker 1: where basically, like Reddit has always had trouble making money,
Speaker 1: like they still seem to be stuck on like just
Speaker 1: old like banner ad.
Speaker 2: Type dude, like just like on Reddit to the point
Speaker 2: where like you like people will get hostile, like just
Speaker 2: not wanting to see them, and like they get no engagement.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I get why people want to advertise it
Speaker 2: because so many people go on to Reddit, but it
Speaker 2: don't work in that way.
Speaker 1: And you know, they just have an extremely savvy, like
Speaker 1: user base who is probably more ad averse than the
Speaker 1: average user base.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's all to do with like API access
Speaker 2: and so how someone who uses a third party application
Speaker 2: that isn't made by Reddit, how they can communicate with
Speaker 2: the Reddit service and their servers. And a lot of
Speaker 2: moderators who mod subreddits use third party apps like Apollo
Speaker 2: is a really popular one. Reddit is Fun is like
Speaker 2: another popular one. And so basically what's happening is Reddit
Speaker 2: is charging like a fee for the amount of requests
Speaker 2: that come through from like a third party app to Reddit,
Speaker 2: and they're monetizing on that. So the head of Apollo
Speaker 2: is basically saying, look, with the amount of requests that
Speaker 2: come like through our app, we'd basically be paying two
Speaker 2: million dollars a month. It would go from free to
Speaker 2: yeah exactly. And Reddit's like, well, we're gonna have some
Speaker 2: like you know, there'll be other apps that fall under
Speaker 2: this like free API agreement, but the most heavily used
Speaker 2: ones aren't those, And a lot of people talk about
Speaker 2: how like if you have like vision impairment or other
Speaker 2: things like that, like the Reddit app doesn't have sort
Speaker 2: of features that would help for something like that app.
Speaker 2: The native one is not fucking that great. So it's
Speaker 2: caused like a blackout, and like many you know, subreddits
Speaker 2: have been like are we are we gonna join in?
Speaker 2: Other people have been like what's the point of doing
Speaker 2: it for two days? Like if nothing's going to change?
Speaker 2: And other people are like should we do it longer?
Speaker 2: And it is I get like why you know this
Speaker 2: is something to keep an eye on, because yeah, they're
Speaker 2: just trying to figure out how to just extract more
Speaker 2: money out. But I guess for them, they're like, we
Speaker 2: don't need these third party apps like taking the content
Speaker 2: of Reddit and being able to monetize that in their
Speaker 2: own way, so now you give us money Reddit.
Speaker 1: It feels like the one we've talked before about how
Speaker 1: like the Internet eventually needs to be treated to the
Speaker 1: public utility, Like you know, so many jobs that would
Speaker 1: be created because there's so many like moderation, content moderation,
Speaker 1: just like fact checking all these things that currently don't
Speaker 1: exist on the Internet and make it like a very
Speaker 1: dangerous place for humans, for especially the elderly who aren't
Speaker 1: aren't savvy enough to know what's real and what is.
Speaker 1: Like Reddit feels like it's the closest to just like
Speaker 1: that would be an easy hit. Just have a government
Speaker 1: budget that could go towards keeping Reddit alive. It's a
Speaker 1: public humility, Yeah, just make it a public utility. It's like,
Speaker 1: just be like, this is the front page of the Internet.
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't make money because the people like don't.
Speaker 1: It doesn't fit into any like real profit model. So
Speaker 1: let's just fucking you pay for it with taxpayer dollars
Speaker 1: and use that money to actually have it be moderated
Speaker 1: and functional. Like, I feel like that would be a
Speaker 1: good idea that everybody would be on board with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, everything's just about making money now, and you know,
Speaker 2: when you don't have a good way to make money
Speaker 2: from advertising, they're just now saying, well, then why don't
Speaker 2: we just screw over people who like work for free
Speaker 2: to make this place even worth visiting. That's why it's
Speaker 2: all very fucked up and like a lot of people
Speaker 2: like all over the place with how committed they are
Speaker 2: to a blackout, Like I saw like in the Denver
Speaker 2: Nuggets subreddit. They're like, the blackout coincides with us about
Speaker 2: to win an NBA championship and this is my only
Speaker 2: community to communicate to other Nuggets fans and like at
Speaker 2: least to celebrate, and they're like, fuck it, we ain't
Speaker 2: going dark, Like executive decision. We got to celebrate this
Speaker 2: w together. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like whoever's organizing the blackout just needs to
Speaker 1: be like, we got to give it to these Nuggets fans,
Speaker 1: Guys like they haven't ever had anything their first to celebrate.
Speaker 2: This is awesome. All right.
Speaker 1: Well, those are some of the things that are trending
Speaker 1: on this Wednesday, June fourteenth. We are back tomorrow with
Speaker 1: a whole lest episode of the show. Until then, be
Speaker 1: kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bright Bye.
