It seems like 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: that's the case with a lot of my favorite directors. Anyways, 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: But I die gress. I am thrilled to be joined 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: today to talk through the Trends by super producer Tricia Mukerjee.

Um, continue, 15 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: it just continues, It goes on and on. Um. I 16 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: was at a family gathering for Fourth of July and 17 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: a child took my phone to his house. My accident, um, 18 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: and so I yeah, I just ended up miles and 19 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: miles away from me, constantly on the run. First it 20 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: was the elevator. Yeah, we talked on the last Trends 21 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: episode that you dropped your phone and I managed to 22 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: go like perfectly through that tiny little gap between the 23 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: elevator and the floor that you're getting off of. UM. 24 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: I'm impressed. I'm impressed by your phone's willingness to do anything. 25 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: Escaping through a small hole we've we've all seen in 26 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: like prison escape movies, hitching a ride with some somebody 27 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: who is unaware, like in a laundry van or something 28 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: like that. UM is also always smart, so we'll see. 29 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I have a feeling you turn your back 30 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: for very long, there's going to be a hole tunneled 31 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: through like your apartment floor into under the Hudson and 32 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: another continent by no time. Yeah. Supercuser Brian suggests some 33 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: tiny little sheets tied together out the window. Maybe some 34 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: clean x is tied together out the window, just because 35 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: it's smaller. But I am also saying like it's either 36 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: your phone is trying to escape or like some forces 37 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: of the universe, or like she really shouldn't have this phone. 38 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: It's not it's not the right time that we're about 39 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: to open up the portal with a large Hadron collider 40 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: UM and we need Tricia to not be looking at 41 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: this exact phone. So I don't know. I believe in 42 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: the multiverse. I'm a little Yeah, they're they're they're afraid 43 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: of what you with That phone too powerful. They're like, 44 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: we need to bust it back down to a cricket 45 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: or something like, Yeah, yeah, I have a suspicion it's 46 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: the FBI, but I want to say that too loud. 47 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: Yeah that could be. Also, Yeah, they are constantly calling 48 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: me and being like, so, what's up with Tricia. How's 49 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: she working out? You haven't you as of yet? No, 50 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: but you know, al uh. Truly horrifying weekend with a 51 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: mass shooting in Highland Park. Seven people were killed. At 52 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: least forty seven others were injured. It was a young 53 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: white guy shooting from a rooftop at what seemed to 54 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: be random people at a distance, like just you know, 55 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: psychologically the most horrifying, just you know, it's like suddenly 56 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: out of nowhere, like you were shot and there's nothing 57 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: you can do about it, and we don't know anything 58 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: about them, you know, political views of this particular young 59 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: white man mass shooter. But it does feel like it's 60 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: like what terrorists would do. But it's just like ambient 61 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: terrorism on behalf of a broken system at this point. Um, well, 62 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: I think also, and it recently came out that he 63 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: went to Trump probley um before the shooting happened. I 64 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: don't know how long ago it was, but yeah, and 65 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: he was like an edge lord, so like he was 66 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: people were I I don't know, like I don't It 67 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: doesn't like to me at this point, it like truly 68 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's just, um, I'm sure there will be 69 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: a mass shooter whose politics are you know, leftist and 70 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: you know that we we had that person who was 71 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: struggling with mental illness who showed up at Brett Kavanaugh's 72 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: house and told the police they were armed and thinking 73 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: about hurting Brett Kavanaugh. And that's the issue. The common 74 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: denominator is like just access to deadly guns like that, 75 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: that seems to be the thing. So I don't know. 76 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: We got a tweet from Jason Osborne. Yeah he's uh so, 77 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: this guy is a New Hampshire state representative, and he 78 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: tweeted something just so absurd and in bad taste. He said, 79 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: instead of spending twenty dollars more the last year in 80 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: your Independence Day, hot dogs lay off the calories and 81 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: have a few more rounds for your A K forty seven. Yeah, 82 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's just as I said, like in such 83 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: bad taste. I mean, it's not a joke, and it's 84 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: insane that like elected representatives are tweeting things like this. 85 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: Yeah it's and yeah, I think, Um, what happened in 86 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Highland Park wasn't unique at all this Fourth of July. 87 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: There were shootings in several other cities. Um, And even 88 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: when I went to the fireworks in New York, I 89 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: just couldn't stop thinking, like I am in such a 90 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: bad situation, as is everyone around me. If someone were 91 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: just to decide to take out a gun. And it's 92 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: such a tragic thing that we're like watching these fireworks 93 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: and stuff, and they're supposed to symbolize all these grand 94 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: ideas of freedom and independence and you know all of 95 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: that was fucked up in the first place and it 96 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: was created. But just that juxtaposed with just how terrified 97 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: everyone was, um, just on alert for any kind of sound, 98 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: which is so hard to recognize among fireworks, barriers falling, 99 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: just things that shouldn't be scary but just are. Yeah, 100 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: there was like Cassa, there were people First of all, 101 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: there was a shooting at a July fourth fireworks show 102 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, UM, where two cops were wounded. UM. But 103 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: there were also like Orlando, there's a stampede because by 104 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: crowd mistaken fireworks for gunfire. UM. And yeah, I don't know, 105 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: it's like I am. I had, like I broke down 106 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: yesterday just thinking about I don't know like that. I 107 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: think it was cumulative, like you've all day and then 108 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: this story and like I knew that I was going 109 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: to a fireworks display that night with my kids, and 110 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,559 Speaker 1: like I'm having like intrusive thoughts of like my kids 111 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: getting shot and um that like are hard to ignore 112 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: when you live in this version of America. And I'm 113 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: sure a lot of people are are dealing with that, 114 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: and you know, uh, yeah, it's it's hard. Like I said, 115 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: I think we can acknowledge it. It's sucking hard no 116 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: matter who you are, exactly exactly. And I think the 117 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: other thing I what was thinking about is that there 118 00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: were so many cops everywhere, um during these pariodes, and 119 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: clearly in so many cities they failed to stop these killings. 120 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, we just you know, you can 121 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: say at time and time again, and nothing really happens, 122 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: but it seems like the only resolutionists to get rid 123 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: of these assault weapons and get rid of cops that, 124 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: as we'll talk about later, um also hurt people. Yeah, 125 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, we might as well talk about it now, 126 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: like just you know, it's more stories that feel like 127 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: we don't don't get better. Video of Acron police shooting 128 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: jalend Walker to death sixty times while he was unarmed 129 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: was released at the end of last week. The police 130 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: had tried to pull him over for an unspecified equipment violation. 131 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: So this is another one of those things where the 132 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: police are initiating something that ends in deadly conflict over 133 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: something where the stakes aren't even big enough for them 134 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: to even mention it. In their recording of what happened 135 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: he drove away from the police. The police claimed that 136 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: he fired a shot at them or like what during 137 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: the pursuit and then and that they found a gun 138 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: in his hand, but the important details that he was 139 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: unarmed and running away when they shot him sixty times. 140 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: And you know, the use of deadly forced by police 141 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: has not dropped at all since the George Floyd protests. 142 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: Police funding has not been cut in many places that's 143 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: been raised. In some places it was cut a little bit. 144 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: But then we saw the main thing that has happened 145 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: since the Black Lives Matter protests and the police violence 146 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: protests is that the police had a temper tantrum about 147 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: being challenged, and the mainstream media kind of coordinated with 148 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: them to try to generate a panic attack about crimes 149 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: committed by poor people, like you know, the committed by 150 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: the sorts of people who are often the victims of 151 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: police violence. Right. It's just again, it just really feels 152 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: like nothing has changed at all, um, despite all the protests, 153 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: despite every you know, individual person who's trying to be 154 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: themselves a force for change. Um. The inaction of the government, 155 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: the inaction in terms of defunding police departments, in terms 156 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: of doing anything about it. Um. I think that's really 157 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: what has like led to this incident and surely many 158 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: more like it in the future. UM. Because like individual 159 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 1: people are doing all they can, and a lot of 160 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: cases at least people who you know care about this 161 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: issue and want to do something, But it's not us anymore. 162 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: Like it's just out of our hands and we just 163 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: have to be scared and deal with the brunt of 164 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: like all this fear and yeah, just tragedy again and 165 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: again and again because a few people are refusing to 166 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: act and to do anything. Yeah. Um, one thing that 167 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: people can do is donate to Acron bail funds because 168 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: people protested the police and the shooting over the weekend 169 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: and fifty people were arrested by the Acron police, uh 170 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: last night. So if you can donate money to the 171 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: Acron bail funds, that would be helpful. And uh, yeah, 172 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We will be right back, 173 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: and we're back. And no surprise here. I am. I 174 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: am a bit of a box office whisper when it 175 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: comes to children's cartoons. It seems like many people are saying, 176 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: I knew that late year didn't make sense, was gonna 177 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: be a bust, And I had a good feeling about 178 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: this mingons whereas a grew thing and it broke the 179 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: box office record over the weekend for a July movie, 180 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: and it also launched a trend on TikTok called gentle minions, um, 181 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: which you you're saying it was such a like disapproving Look, Uh, 182 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: this is the only way I know how to how 183 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: to say that I am fine with this trend. Actually, 184 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,599 Speaker 1: I think it's fun. When you first described to me, 185 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: I thought it was people dressing up as Minions to 186 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: go see the Mingions movie. Um, but no, I got 187 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: that wrong, right Yeah. Yeah, So it's actually people dressing 188 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: up people meaning kids like teenagers, um, dressing up in 189 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: suits to go and see this movie. Um. And I 190 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: think the aim of it is that they want to 191 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: dress up like grew um. But they have begun throwing 192 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: bananas in the movie theater. Not cool at all, yeah, 193 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: leading to many movie theaters banning people addressed informal attire um. 194 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: So and yeah. So some cinemas have said that they've 195 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: suffered a massive financial impact having to issue refunds to 196 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: other people who are just trying to enjoy Minions, Rise 197 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: of grouin Peace while these kids in suits were throwing bananas. 198 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: So it really makes me question what has come of 199 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: the world. I mean, it makes me question what's come 200 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: of these movie theaters when I can't even go see 201 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: Minions while wearing my finest, my Sunday duds with my 202 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: top hat, gloves and um parasol. You know, I'm sure 203 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 1: there will be some like paparazzi photos of you that 204 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: surface soon and soon with the fists full of bananas 205 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: eat it through. Yeah, people often think that I'm caused 206 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: playing brom Stoker's Dracula. That is just um how I addressed. 207 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: It just makes me think of all these trends from 208 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: TikTok that when they translate to real life, they're like bad. 209 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: Like I don't know if you remember the ice cream 210 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: licking trend. I don't think I remember that now. Okay, 211 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: Basically it was this thing where people would um like 212 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: open the seals of ice cream or no, maybe they 213 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: weren't sealed, but they would just open the lids of 214 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: ice cream in your grocery store and lick it and 215 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: then put it back in. Yeah, yeah, and do to that. 216 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: Like a lot of companies um started adding seals to 217 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: more things. But it's just like why like keep the 218 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: trends in duck not translating to the real world. But 219 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: it definitely seems like a thing kids have probably been 220 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: doing for years. But just distributing that on a social 221 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: media network, I don't know, it does kind of feel 222 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: inevita bull. If we're going to have social media that 223 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: stuff like that is gonna is gonna spread. I just 224 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: merely ask these gentle minions to think about those of 225 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: us who like to look classy when we go see minions, movies. 226 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: Expose Smithfield's death Star is trending. This is just the 227 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: most Maybe maybe this was like the most American Fourth 228 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: of July of all time because there was a mass 229 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: shooting and there was also this story where Joey Chestnut, 230 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: um competitive hot dog eater, tackled and put in a 231 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: chokehold a protester who was holding a sign that said 232 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: exposed Smithfield's death Star. And I guess that that was 233 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: protesting the treatment of pigs in the United States is 234 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: largest pig farm factory. But I feel like the tone 235 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: that I've seen this news shared with is more along 236 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: the lines of hell, yeah, Joey Chestnut's the man dog 237 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: fuck protesters. This is fun and red because he did 238 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: put this person a headlock while cruising to another world 239 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: hot dog eating championship. Uma was he eating hot dogs? 240 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: He was eating? Yeah, And he claims that the reason 241 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: that like, you're like, oh no, man, that's too cool. 242 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: He had. The reason he put this person and the 243 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: headlock was because he had hot dogs in both his hands. 244 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: So it was just like a work of propaganda come 245 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: to life in this moment where he, just while holding 246 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: hot dogs that he was using to win as the 247 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: world's best hot dog eater, put somebody in a headlock 248 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: for like protesting animal rights. So, Joey Chestnut, I would say, 249 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: I honestly don't even know what I get ready to 250 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: be red, Joey Chestnut. I don't know if you heard 251 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: the tone in Trish's voice there, but you were about 252 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: to get demolished. Go for it. I just just want 253 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: to say, Joey Chester, do better things with your life. Perhaps, 254 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: Damn man, I know, I know, I think he's going 255 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: to hear this message and changed scathing. Yeah. Seventies six 256 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: hot dogs in ten minutes. Yeah, he's eating like a 257 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: whole pig's worth of pig assholes. Uh in that time. 258 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: Just if you stacked all the hot dogs together, I'm 259 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: guessing that's what that would put you at seventy six. 260 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: I don't know anyways. Uh. And then finally, Debor Messing 261 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: is trending.

Hillary Clinton is 277 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: the best.
