Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Don't
Speaker 1: be a Trendous to South Central while drinking your juice
Speaker 1: in the hood.
Speaker 2: Mmm. I think it's from Johnny Davis.
Speaker 1: Johnny Davis from the Discord classic film what's your favorite
Speaker 1: like spoof film? Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, uh, probably I love men in tights?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm what else?
Speaker 2: Hot Shots?
Speaker 1: Part do hot Shots? I feel like hot Shots is
Speaker 1: due for resurgence, right, there's.
Speaker 2: Just one part where I remember Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 3: There's a box of bullets and he just throws them
Speaker 3: at these guys like in a fight scene, and like
Speaker 3: it's like.
Speaker 1: He shot them, shot them. Yeah, this is great, This
Speaker 1: is great. It's also funny that he did steroids to
Speaker 1: get like jacked like Rambo for a spoof film. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: he was so yoked all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: Then there's Dude Loaded Weapon one National Lampoon's Loaded Weapons.
Speaker 1: One with Emilio and Sam Jackson.
Speaker 2: Who that one's bad man.
Speaker 3: This is actually my favorite kind of film where like
Speaker 3: these parody spoof films, and then like all the naked
Speaker 3: gun all the.
Speaker 1: Naked Yeah, yeah, those are all great. Not another teen
Speaker 1: movie I think is a hidden gym it like came
Speaker 1: out in the course of like it has the same
Speaker 1: title as like those ones that are like dance movie
Speaker 1: or you know, epic movie, and I think people sometimes
Speaker 1: associate it with that. But it's got some good bits. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, anyways, I'm Jack. That's miles. These are some
Speaker 1: things that are trending on this Thursday, June eighth. Starbucks
Speaker 1: is shifting to nugget ice.
Speaker 2: Is that good? I think we knew that.
Speaker 1: But Salon dot Com interviewed an ice expert on what
Speaker 1: this means, and I guess just generally nugget ice is
Speaker 1: becoming more popular because from the consumer side, it's soft,
Speaker 1: it's chewy, it's like easy to chomp on, and then
Speaker 1: in the hospital, yeah, and then on the company side
Speaker 1: you can just dump shitloads of it in there and
Speaker 1: your products. Yeah, it dilutes the hell out of your product.
Speaker 1: Like somebody's getting a nice bump, a nice bonus for
Speaker 1: coming up with this idea. Right on the Starbucks side.
Speaker 3: Always it because like it's so porous too. It probably
Speaker 3: just melts way quick. It melting like immediately.
Speaker 1: This ice experts that a lot of people absolutely love
Speaker 1: the soft, chewy ice, like you get it sonic, and
Speaker 1: in the hospital it seems to absorb some of the
Speaker 1: liquid poured over it. So even after you first finish
Speaker 1: your drink, you can wait a couple of minutes and
Speaker 1: get another few SIPs of your beverages. The ice melts, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then in a few more minutes you basically have
Speaker 1: a glass of water to drink. So it's good for hydration.
Speaker 3: They don't talk about the part that it also makes
Speaker 3: your like like that would be like I remember when
Speaker 3: that plays Lemonade opened up in La Yeah, like, and
Speaker 3: everybody's like their lemonade's so good.
Speaker 2: I was onto them real quick. I was like, no
Speaker 2: ice in that.
Speaker 3: Fucking cup, because I'll put eighty percent fucking ice in there.
Speaker 3: I want my whole fucking twenty whatever ounces of lemonade
Speaker 3: before I walk out here.
Speaker 2: I'm not paying for a fucking sixty percent ice, right.
Speaker 1: The detractor's argument that he cites is the dice will
Speaker 1: water down the coffee too quickly, and so you might
Speaker 1: want to ask for concentrated coffee. Can I get that
Speaker 1: two x concentrated?
Speaker 2: That?
Speaker 1: Thanks?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Because then now, wow, that's actually more genius, because they're
Speaker 3: not gonna be like, well, we don't have one unless
Speaker 3: you want to add a shot for more money, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it cook this over a spoon for me,
Speaker 1: right yeah, get.
Speaker 3: It some dialysis I can use to tie off. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but that is my thought. My initial thought is just
Speaker 3: like that's like I think the point of ice is
Speaker 3: to cool the beverage, but not to turn the beverage
Speaker 3: into a different beverage. No, no, no, you know that's
Speaker 3: why I respect places like coffee water, like those like
Speaker 3: you go to the Asian like Bulba tea spots or
Speaker 3: like milk tea spot like they have.
Speaker 2: They'll be like how much ice you want because they
Speaker 2: know already.
Speaker 3: Like even if you do like on like a mobile
Speaker 3: order to pick it up or whatever, that you can
Speaker 3: still be like.
Speaker 2: I want twenty percent ice. Thank you though for asking,
Speaker 2: because I know I want my money's worth.
Speaker 1: The slowest melting ice is the like sphere, right, like
Speaker 1: you get it, like the super high end bar. It's
Speaker 1: like the perfect sphere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think, right now, that's like one I
Speaker 3: was I've been looking for the longest time.
Speaker 2: Like my refrigerator is so old that it has like an.
Speaker 1: Eight track player in it that I want the most
Speaker 1: expensive refrigerator in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, man as a disco ball on the top.
Speaker 1: Shit.
Speaker 3: It's fucking wild and has like a little pop out
Speaker 3: tray so you can just snort cocaine off of it
Speaker 3: while you're making your children's dinner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cigarette lighter that comes out until you can light
Speaker 1: up as you're like cooking.
Speaker 3: It's just like on the door because you're busy. You
Speaker 3: can just like lean your face on the refrigerator door
Speaker 3: and light a cigarette.
Speaker 2: But for real, I've been looking.
Speaker 3: I was like, my whole thing is like I want
Speaker 3: to wait till there's a fucking refrigerator that makes nugget ice,
Speaker 3: because like I would like that, but I feel like
Speaker 3: no company is doing that because they're cowards, and like
Speaker 3: the only thing that you can get, Like there are
Speaker 3: refrigerators though that make that fancy sphere ice, And I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm not drinking like whiskey on the rocks or something
Speaker 3: all day, and like I want some sponge shit to
Speaker 3: chew on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like put sphere ice in like a
Speaker 1: thing of diet coke, for sure. I would gladly do that.
Speaker 2: That's a good look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the the ice shaker is you know,
Speaker 1: the the thing that like bartenders use where they like
Speaker 1: shape it over their shoulders. Like that's a underrated implement,
Speaker 1: even if you're not drinking booze, like that thing will
Speaker 1: cool your drink immediately no matter what. Yeah, it's it's nice.
Speaker 1: I highly recommend coke or you know, usually probably better
Speaker 1: for a flat beverage. Okay, all right, here's one we're
Speaker 1: not sure what to think about, but it's out there.
Speaker 1: People are thinking about it. There's a new study that
Speaker 1: finds that splenda is geno toxic.
Speaker 2: So it's toxic to people named geno.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, only people named gene breaks a part of
Speaker 1: your DNA, which is bad. Okay in my good right
Speaker 1: that mutations to your mutagenicity. Call me old fashioned, but
Speaker 1: I don't like stuff that is genotoxic and breaks apart
Speaker 1: my DNA, right yeah, because damaged DNA can reform into cancer.
Speaker 1: So there's also the Calorie Control Council, which you know
Speaker 1: is probably I think is a front group for the
Speaker 1: companies that manufacture like splenda and artificial sweeteners.
Speaker 4: They're like, nah, yeah, they're the lobbying body that represents
Speaker 4: low and reduced calorie The entire low and reduced calorie
Speaker 4: food and beverage industry.
Speaker 3: It's their whole exists there, their reason to lift there,
Speaker 3: that's on debt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I don't know like all the ins and
Speaker 1: outs of this one, Like even the there's a study
Speaker 1: that nutri suite or like equal you know, the stuff that.
Speaker 2: That that particular got me hooked on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing that was in all the fake sugar
Speaker 1: products in the nineties and stuff like that got a
Speaker 1: reputation for being carcinogenic. But then there was like, you know,
Speaker 1: because the news cycle was a lot flower back then,
Speaker 1: like years later, there was a backlash where scientists were like, actually,
Speaker 1: the amount of like equal packets you would have to
Speaker 1: consume to get the levels that they were giving to
Speaker 1: the labratt you would have to be like using a
Speaker 1: pickup truck to transport the equal to your mouth house
Speaker 1: like every day. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just like the idea of it, just a dump
Speaker 3: truck just like unloading it onto your face. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: then you look like a Tony Montana of the nutrient suite.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean it's interesting that they are though
Speaker 3: of course they're going to say this is that's not
Speaker 3: true because they have their own you know, like any
Speaker 3: lobbying group, they come after academics and things that say
Speaker 3: things like that. But this is why I think we're
Speaker 3: a bit dubious here, because when you search this about
Speaker 3: like you know, splendid being genotoxic, it's only conservative or
Speaker 3: like you know, places like the New York Post, Metro
Speaker 3: in the UK Newsweek like these kind of like not
Speaker 3: not I would say, not the most serious journalistic outlets
Speaker 3: publishing the story and like, but other like news networks aren't,
Speaker 3: which you feel like they would normally. That's what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 3: is the Calorie Control Council basically getting in their homies
Speaker 3: ears over at Fox and all these other places like
Speaker 3: this network of conservative sort of news and being like,
Speaker 3: hey man, can you put the thing out about how
Speaker 3: that low calorie shit will kill you and make you
Speaker 3: a mutant? Right?
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 1: You mean like I feel like the sugar industry might
Speaker 1: be getting.
Speaker 3: In yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah actually could
Speaker 3: well no, they did get word from that, yeah exactly,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, the sugar industry exactly.
Speaker 2: Who It's like, oh God, what an l for you
Speaker 2: if you take that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's like I I guess I never
Speaker 1: like when I was younger, I didn't think of the
Speaker 1: Council of Dairy Farmers. I wasn't like they're a big
Speaker 1: organization that like has the media arm that like controls
Speaker 1: and like creates propaganda and stuff. These got milk ads
Speaker 1: are just they just like came about naturally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, was asking the questions beg the question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like when you read about how the
Speaker 1: dairy industry has been able to like control messaging around
Speaker 1: milk and cheese and like all those things and be
Speaker 1: like they're healthy folks, and like how that contradicts science.
Speaker 1: So sugar is a massive industry, right, and a lot
Speaker 1: of slavery, of slavery people being harmed increasingly over in
Speaker 1: like the past five decades. So it just feels like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll need to kind of put a pin in this
Speaker 1: one and see like what what the fallt is. But
Speaker 1: bignything sounds bad, Big sugars.
Speaker 3: I got my eye on you, because I mean it's
Speaker 3: the reason we fucking annexed Hawaii, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: all sugar like always can lead to some weird fucked
Speaker 3: up is when you look at the history.
Speaker 1: But yeah, do you. I also like, don't fuck with
Speaker 1: like splendid, like the the newer like sugar alternative products.
Speaker 1: Like I had a yogurt the other day and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this definitely has artificial sweetener in it,
Speaker 1: and like found it and like the third to last ingredient.
Speaker 1: But I just like something about it disagrees with me.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it is.
Speaker 3: I don't know because isn't it like does it function
Speaker 3: techniques like a neurotoxin, because it's it's convincing your brain
Speaker 3: of something that's like not actually happening.
Speaker 1: I think I'm just really highly sensitive to genotoxins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what everybody's always said about it.
Speaker 2: That's why you test all the president's meals.
Speaker 1: That's right. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back and to complete
Speaker 1: our food block. I guess is what you realize. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Pizza Hut is introducing in New York only, limited time only,
Speaker 1: a pickle pizza that is making people unhappy but actually
Speaker 1: looks pretty fucking good to me.
Speaker 2: Who's saying they don't like it? You can say it's okay.
Speaker 3: So it's the pickle pizza, spicy dill pickles, Nashville Hot
Speaker 3: chicken and ranch.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, there's me. I mean it's like Buffalo chicken pizza.
Speaker 1: My only complaint with Buffalo chicken pizza is the red
Speaker 1: onions sometimes get like stringium fucked up. But for the
Speaker 1: most part, a combination of cheese, buffalo chicken, and breeches
Speaker 1: like any or or ranch like that goes very hard
Speaker 1: my book. Adding pickles, like replacing the stringy red onions
Speaker 1: with pickles, sounds good to me. Assuming and this is
Speaker 1: something that I feel like they need to specify in
Speaker 1: their marketing materials, assuming the pickles are added after the bake, right,
Speaker 1: I don't want you putting I've never had baked pickles before.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine like that is a food that that
Speaker 1: particularly well, just like hot ass and like also like
Speaker 1: dehydrated gummy pickles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had I've had a pizza with frickles on it,
Speaker 3: like fried sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and that would create a membrane that would
Speaker 1: make it okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think in my book otherwise it's yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I'm I'm fine with this, you know.
Speaker 3: I think I think it's funny though too, Like all
Speaker 3: the comments that we're reading about again a launching, they're
Speaker 3: launching it in New York City, where people New York. Hey, man,
Speaker 3: I've been there before. Man it smells like weed everywhere,
Speaker 3: first of all, So that's why I will never go back,
Speaker 3: because it's a how to control blue city. But like,
Speaker 3: but yah, but there, y'all are militant about pizza over
Speaker 3: there because that's like your ship. So I think coming
Speaker 3: in with some weird ship is not the right environment
Speaker 3: to introduce a pizza like this. That feels like a
Speaker 3: transgression to like the New York pizza scene, right, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, I feel like.
Speaker 3: If this ship dropped in California or like a place
Speaker 3: where everybody's TiO or yeah, I don't even know, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I can even see Chicago people being like, now,
Speaker 3: what the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: Man? We got our own shit.
Speaker 3: Like I think a place like La or the West Coast,
Speaker 3: you'd have a little more people like yo, dude, the
Speaker 3: fucking pizza pickle pizza is pretty bomb.
Speaker 2: I feel like you may have just made a mistake
Speaker 2: with where you launched it.
Speaker 1: But whatever, this is our equivalent of like doing like
Speaker 1: lobbying is we just coming in and we're like, you
Speaker 1: should have launched this in LA actively. It should have
Speaker 1: been better for your Yeah, all right, getting into some
Speaker 1: harder news, gummy pickley news, the Supreme Court is doing
Speaker 1: a weird job of like vacillating between total fascist bullshit
Speaker 1: and then kind of doing good things every once in
Speaker 1: a while. And you just gotta kind of good thing.
Speaker 3: They decided that because there's the most fucked up violent
Speaker 3: redistrict I mean fucking everywhere, but in Alabama, especially in
Speaker 3: a state that's twenty seven percent black, they jerrymannered the
Speaker 3: fuck out of that voting map, so there's only one
Speaker 3: majority black district. And so people sued, got all the
Speaker 3: way to the Supreme Court, and the Court was like, oh, yeah, man, y'all,
Speaker 3: that's that's fucked up. Y'all gonna have to create at
Speaker 3: least one more majority black district. This is this is,
Speaker 3: this is infringing on their rights. Five four ruling with
Speaker 3: Brett Kavanaugh joining the Libs.
Speaker 2: Wow. So I'm like, damn, what the fuck? What's wrong
Speaker 2: with y'all? Over there?
Speaker 3: One minute you're like, if you go on strike to
Speaker 3: better your own situation, we are siding with the companies
Speaker 3: and they're loss of profit in this one, so they
Speaker 3: can sue you to fucking high hell for damages.
Speaker 2: But then they're like, but also, yeah, we care about the.
Speaker 3: Down trodden in this representative democracy because like we've seen
Speaker 3: what y'all did with the Voting Rights Act before.
Speaker 2: Like I'm sorry, is it UCI Wally or is it
Speaker 2: one mic brand? As Jay Z once said, where are
Speaker 2: you Supreme Court? Do you know what you're doing? Or
Speaker 2: is again? I think this is just part of their.
Speaker 3: Like panicked optics safety routine, and I think they recognize
Speaker 3: that neither party is giving anyone anything to vote for
Speaker 3: that will change any of this, any of the things
Speaker 3: that actually matter when it comes to you know beforementioned workers'.
Speaker 1: Rights and stuff like that. So yeah, they're like, yeah
Speaker 1: you can vote. Yeah, yeah, no, sure, that's that's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, check out those maps.
Speaker 2: But yeah, because I think in before they also they
Speaker 2: didn't know.
Speaker 3: I think there was another decision that went against voters
Speaker 3: in Alabama before.
Speaker 2: So it's very unpredictable.
Speaker 1: It's very unpredictable where they're what side of the bed
Speaker 1: they're going to wait, highly unpredictable. All right. The Anatomical
Speaker 1: Gift Association is a story the super producer Brian brought
Speaker 1: across our desks that is fucked up scary. So they're
Speaker 1: an organization that, you know, takes cadavers for scientific research,
Speaker 1: you know, for people to work on for like medical reasons,
Speaker 1: scientific reasearch, et cetera.
Speaker 2: So one of the people who worked there, this black man, he.
Speaker 3: Was saying that the fucking conditions in this place were horrifying.
Speaker 2: He said, if you stood in one place for too long.
Speaker 3: Like your feets start to stick to the ground, and
Speaker 3: like the bodies were not stored properly, they're melting and shit.
Speaker 3: So once he sort of made this complaint and reported
Speaker 3: his concerns, he said, quote Wheatley said, he came into
Speaker 3: the office with three severed heads in a container on
Speaker 3: his desk with like sage burning.
Speaker 1: He found that that was waiting for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was waiting for him. He said.
Speaker 3: They said that the heads from these AGA donors were
Speaker 3: placed next to his desk after he reported concerns about
Speaker 3: the mishandling and poor conditions of donated bodies to his supervisors.
Speaker 3: But AGA Executive vice president William O'Connor denied any maltreatment accusation,
Speaker 3: saying that handling body parts is in Wheatley's job description. Wow,
Speaker 3: holy shit, what that's okay? Well, I thought that's what
Speaker 3: you liked so much. Wasn't that what your complaint said?
Speaker 3: You liked doing this because you care about him.
Speaker 2: So much, you shouldn't mind if there's three severed heads
Speaker 2: on your desk. We even put stage there to like
Speaker 2: give it good vibes.
Speaker 1: Man, what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 3: So yeah, fuck display, that's like just a fucked up story. Uh,
Speaker 3: someone again, you try and point something out of your
Speaker 3: workplace and then they're literally doing the Godfather shit to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, anatomical gift association is just like that. It
Speaker 1: sounds like a euphemism for sex toys.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, give yourself an anatomical gift. That's what I'm
Speaker 3: that's I feel like they would have called like a
Speaker 3: dildo in the Bible, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: But they called it a male idol, as we learned
Speaker 1: in a recent episode. And finally, Tucker is back in
Speaker 1: the news because Fox sent him a legal notice that
Speaker 1: he is violating his non compete clause by doing his
Speaker 1: little vlog bullshit on Twitter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, fucking non compete clause was obviously
Speaker 3: but because you know that's that's obviously anti worker, but
Speaker 3: also like but also fucked Tucker Crossing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 3: We were talking about how low brow, how low budget
Speaker 3: his set looked, and that's like the reaction a lot
Speaker 3: of people had and pointed to, like all the money
Speaker 3: that he has to go into it, but uh, it's
Speaker 3: it's just wild when you see him, like without his
Speaker 3: set and stuff, he it just looks like Matt Walsh
Speaker 3: or like one of these other fucking like kind of
Speaker 3: not in the main like sort of broadcast media version
Speaker 3: of someone's rendition of just doing white supremacy on the internet. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and like the writing, it feels like he's missing his
Speaker 3: writers because he just came in and was like.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Tucker, here's the thing, here's the thing that
Speaker 1: just happened.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised he didn't go, hey it's Sucker Carlson.
Speaker 1: Yeah what else. It had the vibes of like one
Speaker 1: of those right wing podcasts that are like three and
Speaker 1: a half hours long, but it was all ten minutes.
Speaker 1: That's all he could get out of It was ten minutes.
Speaker 3: It anyways, again another one of those shitty battles where
Speaker 3: you're like Fox News and Tucker, what side do you want?
Speaker 2: I don't know, doubleko.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah yeah, all right. Those are some of the
Speaker 1: things that are trending on this Thursday afternoon. We are
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the whole ast episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, get your flu shots, get all the shots,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
