Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
Speaker 1: of Gust.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and a yah to you as well. Yeah
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: Yes, my name is Jack O'Brien. That over there there
Speaker 1: is Miles great.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It is the episode where we tell you some
Speaker 2: of the stories.
Speaker 1: That are trending on Monday morning, some of the things
Speaker 1: that happened over the week and at the end of
Speaker 1: last week. But first, we like to get to know
Speaker 1: each other a little bit better by holding hands, staring
Speaker 1: into one another's eyes yep, and telling each other some
Speaker 1: things we think are underrated, some things we think are overrated. Miles,
Speaker 1: should we kick it off by telling them?
Speaker 2: Shall kick it off? Old school? Shall we kick it? Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes we shall. That should have been how that song went?
Speaker 1: What is something, Miles that you think is underrated? So
Speaker 1: this is a good one.
Speaker 2: I found something out. I had a friend telling me
Speaker 2: an anecdote about how at his parents' house he was
Speaker 2: there like with his ex girlfriend, and they let the
Speaker 2: dog out and next thing you know, the dog was
Speaker 2: rolling in a raccoon latrine. And I said what And
Speaker 2: he said, a raccoon latrine? And I said, what the
Speaker 2: fuck is a raccoon latrine? So are the sounds that
Speaker 2: are coming out of your hated raccoon latrines? Why? Okay?
Speaker 2: I had no First of all, I had no idea
Speaker 2: there was a name for raccoons like where they take
Speaker 2: their shits, but they do. It's a raccoon latrine. And
Speaker 2: they don't just shit wherever like some common rat Raccoons
Speaker 2: like to go in the same spot over and over
Speaker 2: and over again until it piles up and becomes a
Speaker 2: literal health hazard. Like I was reading like, you should
Speaker 2: be absolutely cleaning up raccoon latrines because like there's parasites
Speaker 2: in their like in their feces that can cause terrible
Speaker 2: infections if ingested. Gee, And I was just like I
Speaker 2: could not believe that this is there was something I
Speaker 2: don't know. I just really appreciated the fact that they
Speaker 2: use a latrine. Are I just really appreciate it. When
Speaker 2: I heard it, I was like, wait, are they like
Speaker 2: are they doing are they scooping out a latrine? Because
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about like an actual latrine. There's like some
Speaker 2: kind of I know it's a place, but maybe structure,
Speaker 2: it's dug out. No, it's just the name where their
Speaker 2: shit pile goes.
Speaker 1: And then I was more like where a dog has
Speaker 1: a preferred bush, like when you take a dog on
Speaker 1: a walk and it's just like, well, this is my spot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but a dog will never just shit in the
Speaker 2: exact same place over and over and over. I mean
Speaker 2: some might, but like this is like a Eurasian badgers
Speaker 2: do this. Apparently, elephants do this. Deer there's just like
Speaker 2: a lot of animals that do communal latrines. And I
Speaker 2: was just like, this is just this is like one
Speaker 2: of those things you miss in like Planet Earth, where yes,
Speaker 2: I think it's amazing that the raccoon has posable thumbs
Speaker 2: and is smart and does all this, but tell us
Speaker 2: that the fact that they all take a dump like
Speaker 2: in the same spot, like they're like, Noah, bro we shit,
Speaker 2: we shit in the same spot, baby, We'd like to
Speaker 2: keep this thing separate.
Speaker 1: I took the kids camping this weekend to the site
Speaker 1: of the raccoon War recently, so this was a oh
Speaker 1: what the.
Speaker 2: Last time that I went camping.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I told you that we our
Speaker 1: campsite was invaded by like thirteen raccoons. Oh maybe we're
Speaker 1: like going into tent like stealing people. Well because like
Speaker 1: some of some of the people brought like left breakfast
Speaker 1: burritos and their tent just loose some people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean that's like that that's the thing
Speaker 2: you got to learn when you are outdoors. First, I
Speaker 2: was like, you can't just leave this shit out.
Speaker 1: Similar group of people, and we were much more disciplined
Speaker 1: than hardly any raccoon contact there. Did not see latrons
Speaker 1: And this is this is one that actually comes a
Speaker 1: week too late because I was just letting the kids
Speaker 1: go around and play and ship like piles of shit.
Speaker 1: I was just like, yeah, I don't know, man, that
Speaker 1: looks as good as any anything to play in.
Speaker 2: Those are some cool rocks. Dig around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's uh. It was a successful weekend. Some
Speaker 1: of the some of the raccoons, though, are like look
Speaker 1: like they could have been drafted in the NFL draft.
Speaker 1: Was like fullbacks. They're like really five to fifty likenches
Speaker 1: built like a bridgeh outide of Christmas Hams, built like
Speaker 1: a brick shithouse, which is where they would prefer to
Speaker 1: take their ships because they're sophisticated animals. My underrated a
Speaker 1: couple underrateds from this weekend. One was just viewing your
Speaker 1: town as a tourist would I had this thought as
Speaker 1: I was like exploring Tokyo and Soul that I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: we should do this in La, Like we should do
Speaker 1: just like a walking tour with somebody who knows La,
Speaker 1: like I probably haven't been to like all the museums
Speaker 1: or restaurants or like night markets or you know, like
Speaker 1: street street food places that La has to offer. And
Speaker 1: this weekend I took the kids as part of this
Speaker 1: camping trip. We were down in San Pedro Yah. Took
Speaker 1: the kids to the uss Iowa. Oh don't know if
Speaker 1: you're familiar.
Speaker 2: I shot. I was in a recreation, like a Discovery
Speaker 2: Channel historical recreation about when Navy seals killed a bunch
Speaker 2: of Somali pirates. And I played a Somali pirate who
Speaker 2: got killed by a Navy seal and we shot that
Speaker 2: on the US WOW. And I was acting opposite actual
Speaker 2: Navy seals who were like between tours in Iraq at
Speaker 2: the time. Jesus Christ, it was the weirdest fucking setup
Speaker 2: I'd ever been up like, and this was like I
Speaker 2: was just getting like I needed work and a guy
Speaker 2: and it was like, dude, you look like shit in
Speaker 2: the background. You could maybe pass for a dark skinned
Speaker 2: terrorist like you. Yeah, truly it was. It was anyway,
Speaker 2: but yeah, a fascinating fast You look like.
Speaker 1: A victim of globalism from the global South, right.
Speaker 2: Exactly, American imperialism, step right up. Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: The kids had a black you know, they we got
Speaker 1: to see that. There's a gun on that ship that
Speaker 1: has the record for it's the longest rifle shot of
Speaker 1: all time. It's like a it's like a big like
Speaker 1: deck gun, you know, like it's you know, visible from
Speaker 1: a mile away.
Speaker 2: The gun is huge.
Speaker 1: It fired a round twenty seven miles wow, which is
Speaker 1: and was impressed.
Speaker 2: Defiably killing someone on the other end, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I think it was just I think it's just been
Speaker 1: funsies for a while now.
Speaker 2: Just shooting them off into the seat.
Speaker 1: And then also Kermit the Frog as pop culture archetype,
Speaker 1: I want to shout out as underrated that I don't
Speaker 1: know there are certain gentle men who I am realizing
Speaker 1: are like channeling Kermit the Frog like that. The Last
Speaker 1: culture has had Amy Poehler on a recent episode, and
Speaker 1: she was talking about the moment, you know, her moment
Speaker 1: where she realized culture was for her was Miss Piggy.
Speaker 1: And then they started talking about Kermit, and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I feel like I know a lot of people who like,
Speaker 1: they've never mentioned Kermit the Frog to me, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker love Hermit is kermit ass, and like they're
Speaker 1: always just gentle, lovely people.
Speaker 2: Who's a Kermit?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna name names people I don't
Speaker 1: know who's a celebrity. Is there a celebrity that you
Speaker 1: think is motherfucker?
Speaker 2: I should have come with examples so you only have
Speaker 2: shady examples from your personal life that you don't want
Speaker 2: to fully say hell loud. All right, all right, and
Speaker 2: and we're back. We just know what it just took
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes. Do you know what it is? It is
Speaker 2: talk about three people who we know. This is not
Speaker 2: a pejority, This is not it's not even again and
Speaker 2: I and I and I'm sorry that I miscategorized it
Speaker 2: by even saying this kermit ass motherfucker, because it's not
Speaker 2: even like that. It's not even upset that somebody's a current.
Speaker 1: They're they're the best. But it is like a organized
Speaker 1: you know. I've talked before about how I think like
Speaker 1: our version of you know, how like Freud is like
Speaker 1: we're all organized into these Greek myth archetypes. That's yeah,
Speaker 1: We're all muppets are just like various characters, you know, icons,
Speaker 1: And I think Kermit is one of those icons that
Speaker 1: probably has a sizable portion of the population behind him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, I guess it is one of
Speaker 2: those things because I was always like, yeah, as a kid,
Speaker 2: I was like, bro, I fuck with Kermit was my favorite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I don't know. I I'll come up
Speaker 1: with some celebrities. Zeigang hit hit us with any celebrities
Speaker 1: or movie characters you think are very kirmity. But yeah, Kermit, Yeah,
Speaker 1: got that Kermit in them. Yeah, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2: That's stable says you are a nice boy. That's good.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's sincere. You want that, Miles, What is
Speaker 2: something you think is overrated? Fuck man, chicken breast And
Speaker 2: I've been saying this for a long time.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, it is a favorite. That's my favorite
Speaker 1: part of the chicken.
Speaker 2: It is now delicious fucking official. Okay, we are I know,
Speaker 2: but I've been Look, I've been saying, I'm all about
Speaker 2: dark meat supremacy. I've been saying dark meat is the
Speaker 2: best part of the chicken. It's juicy, you are fucking
Speaker 2: you can't overcook it. I mean you can, but you'd
Speaker 2: have to do a really fucking hard thigh to a lot, Yeah,
Speaker 2: to dry out a thigh, like even when I was
Speaker 2: really so good with the skin on, when you cook
Speaker 2: that in the can, get that shit crispy. Anyway, So
Speaker 2: I've always but now I'm reading that the people have
Speaker 2: accepted now that chicken thighs are better, and it's being
Speaker 2: reflected in the prices. Thighs are now like going up
Speaker 2: and up in price, and breasts are going down, and
Speaker 2: what used to be the low priced secret for people
Speaker 2: who no good food is now becoming like the de
Speaker 2: facto official best part of the chicken. And now this
Speaker 2: is it is now being reflected. I just saw an
Speaker 2: article about how the prices have been declining in breast
Speaker 2: meat and going up for thigh meat, and I'm just like, wow, wow,
Speaker 2: here we are here we are. Either way, it's still
Speaker 2: cheaper to butcher your own bird, not but your own bird,
Speaker 2: but like get a half chicken or get a whole
Speaker 2: chicken and then break that down yourself. That's still like
Speaker 2: I said I think a few weeks ago. Just get
Speaker 2: the just get the quarter parts or whatever and do
Speaker 2: the work to separate the pieces yourself, because you will
Speaker 2: save money. But I just couldn't believe that we are
Speaker 2: now like officially the chicken breast era is over. It's
Speaker 2: like when we went from the boom era to the
Speaker 2: butt era.
Speaker 1: We're fulling the butt ara kind of simultaneous or I
Speaker 1: mean it's a lagging indicator, I guess the chicken. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we we have made the same move with you know,
Speaker 1: body archetypes and now with our favored chicken pieces.
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah.
Speaker 1: So now we're gonna need some people coming up with
Speaker 1: like hints for how to cook breasts that don't taste
Speaker 1: like shit.
Speaker 2: You just have to cook it really well or like
Speaker 2: brine it and then yeah, and then like do a
Speaker 2: souvd or grill. That's the times I've had the most succulent,
Speaker 2: delicious chicken breast. But god damn, you need.
Speaker 1: You need all the tricks in the book you need.
Speaker 1: It's like master level cooking to not fuck up a
Speaker 1: chicken breast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just Brian it, I guess. But anyway, it
Speaker 2: was just interesting to see, like we can now officially
Speaker 2: say chicken breasts are overrated. America has now crossed over
Speaker 2: to thig. It's thigh time. We're thigh.
Speaker 1: We're a nation of thimen, all right. So my overrated
Speaker 1: is just whatever you think everyone is talking about on
Speaker 1: social media, just like whatever any I. So, on the
Speaker 1: tour of the uss Iowa, we had a very patient
Speaker 1: tour guide who kept like talking about He's like, people
Speaker 1: on social media will tell you that the uss I
Speaker 1: well class battleships wouldn't hold up in modern warfare, and
Speaker 1: like he kept like three times he like raised these
Speaker 1: like debates that are happening he assumed are happening on
Speaker 1: our social media as well as his.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, with the discourse, like.
Speaker 1: It's just and it's understandable, you know that I don't
Speaker 1: know that's what his algorithm is feeding him, and so
Speaker 1: he assumes.
Speaker 2: That it's like out there.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a very confusing time to be like
Speaker 1: not a completely media savvy person. Yeah, you know, like
Speaker 1: it's I love that he grew up in a world
Speaker 1: of you know, he's a little older. You know, he
Speaker 1: grew up in the world of like a monoculture.
Speaker 2: He's giving tours of decommissioned battleships. I know, he's a
Speaker 2: little bit. That's a seventeen year old. It's just like,
Speaker 2: you know, doing it for the love of the game.
Speaker 2: They just haven't I don't know.
Speaker 1: We had a story last week about how gen z
Speaker 1: is supposedly more gullible than boomers and.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone, but just like, yeah, they haven't been able
Speaker 1: to make the shift from monoculture to what we're working
Speaker 1: with now.
Speaker 2: And so now everybody of a certain generation.
Speaker 1: And I think to a lesser extent, like a lot
Speaker 1: of like just everybody is walking around with warped images
Speaker 1: of what the world actually gives a fuck about on
Speaker 1: their brand.
Speaker 2: Totally. I mean I get too, Like it makes me
Speaker 2: think of like the Dan versus Dave thing from the
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two Olympics. Yeah, like which decathlete's gonna do it?
Speaker 2: And that was that. I feel like that was the
Speaker 2: monoculture too at the time, Like a lot of people
Speaker 2: liked Dan.
Speaker 1: Or Dave, Yeah, and one of them didn't make it.
Speaker 1: And the others came in.
Speaker 2: Tenth to they saw shit, it was so bad. But anyway,
Speaker 2: I just think of like, yeah, that those days are over,
Speaker 2: like everyone and is purely in their own world. But
Speaker 2: I'd love to be on that end of social media
Speaker 2: where people are talking shit about the Iowa Class battleships.
Speaker 1: I know, I kind of want to go dig into
Speaker 1: that so that my algorithm changes to focusing on that ship.
Speaker 2: I bet that's pretty Nazi adjacent stuff eventually, because are.
Speaker 1: So interested in the SS they would love to tour
Speaker 1: Harlan Crowe's house. Oh yeah, all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and talk about some
Speaker 1: news stories. We'll be right back, and we're back. We're back,
Speaker 1: and more than a decade after Obama's tan suit Gate.
Speaker 2: You remember suit Gate? Oh yeah, fuck is this guy
Speaker 2: were Trump?
Speaker 1: And this is the biggest story of the weekend and
Speaker 1: the worst thing that he did. He has his own Suitgate.
Speaker 1: He said, no, this is this is a dumb story,
Speaker 1: but it is. You know, sure, he's tanking the economy
Speaker 1: and arresting judges who opposed his fascist whims, which we'll
Speaker 1: get to in a second. But look at the suit
Speaker 1: he wore to the Pope's funeral in blue.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was, man, this was a focus of speaking
Speaker 2: of your social media bubbles. There were a lot of
Speaker 2: people being like, wait to show a cropped photo, why
Speaker 2: didn't you zoom out and show the whole thing? And
Speaker 2: people were like altering the color and to make it
Speaker 2: look like other people were wearing blue suits to try
Speaker 2: and make a non thing. And then there were definitely
Speaker 2: people in navy suits like dark like dark blue. But
Speaker 2: Trump was definitely in some like fuck a dress code. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: that was his whole thing. I mean whatever, I don't
Speaker 2: know what they expected from him. He doesn't respect anything.
Speaker 1: He Yeah, it was more like less navy closer. It
Speaker 1: was between navy in royal. It was like if you
Speaker 1: looked at a picture of the whole group, of the
Speaker 1: whole crowd, it did pop out. And it was my
Speaker 1: first thought, even before seeing people freaking out about it.
Speaker 1: I was like, Damn, that's pretty pretty not black, uh
Speaker 1: for a suit at a funeral.
Speaker 2: I want to be charitable here, but I guess so
Speaker 2: we can call that.
Speaker 1: We'll call that black ish. Yeah, favorite show, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't that. But yeah, like he didn't wear a black tie.
Speaker 1: Didn't you know, he didn't. He didn't do any of
Speaker 1: the shit, And so people are mad. I don't know
Speaker 1: who really gives a ship. People are like, and we
Speaker 1: know he owns a black suit because he wore one
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Carter's funeral.
Speaker 2: It's like yeah.
Speaker 1: And also because he's the fucking president of the United States.
Speaker 1: It's not like he owns a black suit.
Speaker 2: It's not a seventeen year old who just showed up
Speaker 2: later graduation, like, and we know he owns he wore
Speaker 2: one to prompt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he re seated in the first row. Got
Speaker 1: kind of low key dunked on during the eulogy when
Speaker 1: one of the cardinals, the cardinal who was giving the
Speaker 1: eulogy reference how the Pope asked people to build bridges
Speaker 1: not walls. So it was, oh, yeah, that's right, bars,
Speaker 1: Oh this fucking guy whoa grattata basically Okay. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is part of it. He
Speaker 1: definitely does seem like he is in a I'm past politics,
Speaker 1: I know longer need to do the political thing, you know,
Speaker 1: and think about like sixty million Catholics in America, because
Speaker 1: you know, I'm an American badass. I feel like like
Speaker 1: he doesn't.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think the reason that other presidents wouldn't have done
Speaker 1: that is because you don't want to offend Catholics, and
Speaker 1: he just doesn't give a fuck, you know.
Speaker 2: Well, but even then, it's just like he just doesn't
Speaker 2: give a fuck across the board. It's not even like
Speaker 2: that's not even his mind. It's like, so the dress
Speaker 2: code is to wear black, I don't give a fuck. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm wearing this fucking yeah cobalt blue suit. I appreciate
Speaker 2: that because it's entertaining. And also I don't see the
Speaker 2: possible upside of him, like he is still a politician.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we'll ever have elections again, but
Speaker 2: I don't see the upside of adopting a like fuck
Speaker 2: the Pope because he was mean to me stance, you know, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know. He has better political instincts than I've
Speaker 2: given him credit for in the past, but I don't
Speaker 2: don't know about this one. And to the other hand,
Speaker 2: he has this is the furthest day president has ever
Speaker 2: been underwater in terms of approval one hundred days into
Speaker 2: his term. So yeah, yeah, all bad, all bad. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, it's like his instincts. They only
Speaker 2: it's it's just like broken clock that occasionally the hands
Speaker 2: of the clock move to be the right time and
Speaker 2: then subsequently happened to be the right time just because
Speaker 2: the passage of time. Yeah, but a lot of people
Speaker 2: got pissed. I don't know. At the same time, it's
Speaker 2: like why does he even like he's only there because
Speaker 2: he wants to be Like and you see me, I
Speaker 2: was Jack Nicholson at the Pope front row at the
Speaker 2: Lake Show. Did Jack Nicholson of Pope Funerals? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: They called me there. You know the lady that sits
Speaker 2: next to Lou Adler. That was me, Lou Adler. What
Speaker 2: a what a run he's had.
Speaker 1: Also, just in terms of classy things people were doing
Speaker 1: next to the Pope's dead body, a big trend over
Speaker 1: the weekend was people snapping selfies with the Pope so
Speaker 1: you could you could actually like there was just a
Speaker 1: long line where you could walk up and like stand
Speaker 1: next to the Pope's dead body, like it was the
Speaker 1: Mona Lisa.
Speaker 2: You know, flick it up with a corpse, why not?
Speaker 2: And yeah, everybody was flicking it up and that must
Speaker 2: be like fun when you're just You're like, we're taking
Speaker 2: a little trip. We're a trip in Rome, and it's
Speaker 2: like the pope, dude, should we just go by the
Speaker 2: Vatican and goes clicking up with the Pope's body. You
Speaker 2: can just see the Pope's dead body. Yeah, great, great,
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: This is the first pope death of the smartphone era.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, you know, they weren't ready. I mean
Speaker 1: they did say, like you, they said, uh, let me
Speaker 1: see their official guidance on the matter. Uh. They told
Speaker 1: the media visitors are invited not to take photos because
Speaker 1: it would be in not in the best of taste.
Speaker 2: When you say it invited to not yeah, invited not to?
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, but what just say visitors are required or
Speaker 2: you know, beat you some stronger language, like we invite
Speaker 2: you to not do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're queuing for hours, praying and paying their respects,
Speaker 1: but taking pictures is not in the best of taste.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like the next papal administration
Speaker 1: needs to be like mean pope, you know, no more
Speaker 1: passive aggressive like bridges not walls, like symbolic shit. I
Speaker 1: think he needs to go full like get a load
Speaker 1: of this clown.
Speaker 2: Yeah shit, Oh, this guy's gonna be the Satan's bitch
Speaker 2: down in Hell the way he's acting. Whoa you know,
Speaker 2: like get back to brass tacks. The whole thing was
Speaker 2: about scaring the fuck out of people, I thought, with Catholicism,
Speaker 2: so turn it up, turn it on people. Why not?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying. But I'm sure the
Speaker 1: people that believe they'll be shook.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And photos also, as Brian pointed out, are a sin.
Speaker 1: You know that they capture your soul and that's cool.
Speaker 1: Is that okay Catholicism or is that just what people
Speaker 1: used to believe in like the sixteen hundreds.
Speaker 2: Oh right, early early thoughts of what a photo? What
Speaker 2: a photo was?
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can be trapped in there, man, You
Speaker 1: sure sure about that?
Speaker 2: You sure you want to do that? Uh?
Speaker 1: They got little popes in their phones? Now, what's what's
Speaker 1: that going to happen to a soul? Also, the media
Speaker 1: was quick to condemn the selfies, but then reprint them
Speaker 1: just with the faces blurred out, of course, because.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it cares you know, unless you're going to hell,
Speaker 2: stop talking about it. And if you're going to hell,
Speaker 2: tell people. That's right.
Speaker 1: One person, one Instagram person posted a photo of themselves smiling,
Speaker 1: which I kind of respect, Like, if you're gonna do
Speaker 1: the selfie, don't write like just you with the post
Speaker 1: with like the sad face emoji. I feel like probably
Speaker 1: was happening a lot. All right, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: we we've reached the arresting judges phase of the dictatorship. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: probably heard by now the judge Hannah Dugan at this
Speaker 1: point thanks to cash Ptel's post on x, the official
Speaker 1: social media app for I mean, it's everything app so
Speaker 1: overthrowing the judiciary? Is it counts? It's everything? Yeah, But
Speaker 1: so basically what happened. ICE agents showed up at a
Speaker 1: courthouse to arrest someone who was at a hearing for
Speaker 1: battery charges.
Speaker 2: Dugan or Duggan? Is it? Do we know? However you
Speaker 2: want it? Yeah? You know.
Speaker 1: Dougan called it absurd and said that the ICE agents
Speaker 1: needed a judiciary warrant yeast warn rules, and the Chief
Speaker 1: Judge claimed that there was a policy in the works
Speaker 1: about where in the courthouse ICE agents could arrest people,
Speaker 1: and at that point arrest could only be made in
Speaker 1: public areas like hallways, So she spoke with federal agents.
Speaker 1: They were apparently assholes, and so she did not send
Speaker 1: this person directly out into their clutches, to send them
Speaker 1: a different private way out.
Speaker 2: Well, they said it was a different door, but it
Speaker 2: led to a public hallway. Yeah, so it's still not
Speaker 2: as if you're getting like rushed out of the show
Speaker 2: like Elvis at the end of the night. Right, it
Speaker 2: was just like you could use this other door that
Speaker 2: leads to a publicly accessible hallway. At least that felt
Speaker 2: like that was in the complaint, right, and everything was
Speaker 2: public at that point. Like, then got into an elevator
Speaker 2: with an agent who just could have arrested him there,
Speaker 2: did nothing. Then he walked out, and then they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: don't let him get away. And then when I act
Speaker 2: like this judge was actually trying to like obstruct something
Speaker 2: very very like. I mean, like even when you read it,
Speaker 2: it's like it sounds like you had plenty of opportunities
Speaker 2: to take him, you just didn't until he was on
Speaker 2: the street and then yeah, took off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does like their version of things implies that
Speaker 1: she was like, stand on that X right there and
Speaker 1: then pulled a lever that sent him down an escape
Speaker 1: shoot right. Yeah, so she was just like, now, why
Speaker 1: don't you go out this this way? And yeah, so
Speaker 1: it's all you know, this is all happening in the
Speaker 1: context that we're all waiting to see whether or not
Speaker 1: Trump is going to stand down against court orders that
Speaker 1: are saying he can't do a bunch of the kidnappings
Speaker 1: that he's doing right now. And it seems to be
Speaker 1: the only institution in the country that is standing against
Speaker 1: him at.
Speaker 2: The moment, at least within the government. Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: it does.
Speaker 1: You know, it makes us It makes sense that he'd
Speaker 1: make a spectacle of arresting a judge for essentially insubordination.
Speaker 2: I mean, when you look at kind of the events
Speaker 2: of last week, it was all ramping up to being
Speaker 2: like Trump's visibly looks less and less powerful, like in
Speaker 2: terms of like losing court cases, polling numbers going down,
Speaker 2: and yeah, this felt very much like a reaction to
Speaker 2: all of that, or the perception that he had to
Speaker 2: like reassert that he's like, no, I'm in control. I
Speaker 2: will now they purp walked this judge through the fucking courthouse.
Speaker 2: Like all of this was to just create the visuals
Speaker 2: to be like this is what will happen if you
Speaker 2: go against me, especially to other judges. Yeah so yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Like normally for something like this, where it's
Speaker 1: not a criminal is being suspected of or somebody who's
Speaker 1: being suspected of a violent act, they're not arresting them
Speaker 1: at all. But yeah, like you said, in this case,
Speaker 1: it was done for spectacle. It was done to send
Speaker 1: a message to other judges and maybe the Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, this is also the other thing is too
Speaker 2: everything is about the optics, because even for how wild
Speaker 2: everything is going, Trump is still not deporting people at
Speaker 2: the rate Joe Biden was. Joe Biden's the king of deportations.
Speaker 2: But all that to say is they want this perception
Speaker 2: to be like we're even, we're on top of this,
Speaker 2: we're getting everybody out, and it's not. It's sloppy and
Speaker 2: it's violent and it's cruel, and that's all it is.
Speaker 2: And that's really the point. It's really not about like
Speaker 2: whatever the perceived quote unquote efficiency is of disappearing people,
Speaker 2: but purely about making people feel as much fear as
Speaker 2: possible at every level. And that's yeah. I think it's
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 1: I think it's about like doing doing the thing, but
Speaker 1: also about like they're doing things to get Like the
Speaker 1: fact that this is a story is not an accident.
Speaker 1: They wanted the story story.
Speaker 2: Yeah for the Yeah for sure, for sure, But they
Speaker 2: don't I'm sure they would not want the story out
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden was somehow better than he was at
Speaker 2: at Beach Cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, Joe Biden was smuggled into do an appearance at
Speaker 1: Harvard I think at the end of last week or
Speaker 1: in the middle of last week, and at one point
Speaker 1: dropped an ice cream, couldn't hold onto his ice cream,
Speaker 1: also confused I think Iraq and Russia and had to
Speaker 1: be corrected, and also dropped an ice cream bar that
Speaker 1: he was holding. So things are going good there.
Speaker 2: Oh man, why do we what.
Speaker 1: The conspiracy to take him out of the running as
Speaker 1: far I saw.
Speaker 2: Him in the ice cream? Remember, wasn't that that thing
Speaker 2: with Seth Myers. Remember they have an ice cream and
Speaker 2: they're trying to talk.
Speaker 1: And like that's always been that's like his main food group.
Speaker 2: So does Nancy Pelosi. She's like has chocolate ice cream.
Speaker 1: They like little treats, you know, they need little treats.
Speaker 2: They have forty dollars freezers for their child that let's
Speaker 2: take a quick break and we'll be right back, and
Speaker 2: we're back. We're back. So a lot of people were,
Speaker 2: especially the people at.
Speaker 1: The industry Rag variety. We're looking at the second weekend
Speaker 1: for the movie Sinners, which was this past weekend. You know,
Speaker 1: they had come out and they were like, this movie, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's doing well its first weekend.
Speaker 2: Barely. That's not gonna be a road.
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of work left to do if
Speaker 1: it wants to be profitable. Just like managed to put
Speaker 1: a sour tone on something that was basically like this,
Speaker 1: this movie is beating all of our expectations at a
Speaker 1: time when the theatrical film going experiences in like desperate
Speaker 1: need of success and good good news. They were like,
Speaker 1: nobody can say why because they weren't that hard on
Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino's movie. But Ryan Coogler, for whatever reason, they
Speaker 1: did not did not like this news anyways, you know,
Speaker 1: would have been probably welcome news for them if Sinners
Speaker 1: fell off, Like a lot of horror movies do, a
Speaker 1: lot of horror movies don't necessarily hold that well. And
Speaker 1: you know, movies that be expectations of the first weekend.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, it's like, well, all the people
Speaker 1: we were expecting to see the movie have seen the movie,
Speaker 1: and so it falls off big in the second weekend.
Speaker 1: This time, however, Sinner's second weekend was historically successful, Like
Speaker 1: It's its first weekend was already historically successful, and they
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, whatever. Second weekend it made around forty
Speaker 1: two million domestically, which is barely a drop from last
Speaker 1: week's forty eight million. Usually, like a typical movie would
Speaker 1: go from like forty eight million down to like, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty two would be like a decent hold for a
Speaker 1: second weekend for like a big box office movie. This
Speaker 1: one went down just six million. It's the smallest second
Speaker 1: weekend decline for a movie that made more than forty
Speaker 1: million dollars since Avatar Into Avatars, since fucking Avatar. Wow,
Speaker 1: go Home Avatar Yep, yep. It is the smallest decline ever.
Speaker 2: For an R rated horror movie. Dude, each shit, each shit, variety,
Speaker 2: each shit. All these people who are trying to fucking
Speaker 2: throw dirt on this project and question Ryan Kugler's ability
Speaker 2: to make a film that people want to see. I
Speaker 2: couldn't even fucking see it this weekend because every show
Speaker 2: was sold out or nearly sold out, where it's like,
Speaker 2: I mean, you like, for you know, my schedule, and
Speaker 2: like when I could get childcare, could not find a
Speaker 2: time to see it unless I wanted to sit in
Speaker 2: the front row. So I was like, yeah, this is
Speaker 2: this like, and I don't have to win another week
Speaker 2: at least to find a time when it gets a
Speaker 2: little bit more flexible. I'm not surprised because it's this
Speaker 2: is just everyone outside of like you know, the industry
Speaker 2: rags people checked for Ryan Kugler movies. It's just it
Speaker 2: is what it is, regardless of what the press is saying.
Speaker 2: So I'm glad they're having this moment, or at least
Speaker 2: some of the industry rags are like, damn, this is good. Well,
Speaker 2: variety seems probably doubling down, and it's whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah fine, yeah, I mean it seems like again, like
Speaker 1: the movie was incredibly successful compared to Quentin Tarantino's movie
Speaker 1: Once upon a Time in Hollywood, which was on way
Speaker 1: more screens. So again, like, even though this movie is
Speaker 1: incredibly successful, they're not putting it on enough screens. It's
Speaker 1: like on every too few screens and nobody can get like,
Speaker 1: people are gonna have to wait to see it.
Speaker 2: When I went to try and get a ticket, I
Speaker 2: was like, wait, they re released episode three. I was like,
Speaker 2: why the fuck is that taking up space on the
Speaker 2: in the fucking theater? And then The Accountant two would
Speaker 2: burnthall and affleck. I'm like, what the fuck missed me
Speaker 2: with this? No? Yeah, so that's what.
Speaker 1: The Accountant two came in third, behind Sinners and a
Speaker 1: re release of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, it was behind Star Wars starring bro Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Revenge of the Sith apparently did incredibly well effect
Speaker 1: that variety probably has no problem being excited about. Because
Speaker 1: that also means, you know, good news for studios where
Speaker 1: they can just re release stuff. They don't even need
Speaker 1: to make new movies, you know.
Speaker 2: I know. Now we're just gonna have twenty every year,
Speaker 2: just twentieth anniversary re releases, thirtieth anniversary re releases. Sure, sure, well,
Speaker 2: I'm glad. I'm glad that The Accountant Too didn't even
Speaker 2: because they were really I remember last week they're saying,
Speaker 2: like it'll be close between Sinners and Accountant two where
Speaker 2: like most people who are realistic are like sinners might
Speaker 2: probably outdo you.
Speaker 1: Think you made a lot of money, sinners? This guy
Speaker 1: counts money for a fucking living.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, And it's got euro cop actor John Burnenthal
Speaker 2: in it.
Speaker 1: Good fucking luck, favorite podcast host John Barenthal. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's breaking all sorts of records. And the Hollywood Reporter,
Speaker 1: which is like the other it's like variety in the
Speaker 1: hollywod a reporter of the two. Hollywood Reporter, by the way,
Speaker 1: has like some truly monstrous stories that are you know,
Speaker 1: about Palestine and Israel and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: But variety too. Variety is also the doing a lot
Speaker 2: of weird Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: But the Hollywood Reporter said that some naysayers label it
Speaker 1: a money loser even before it had a chance to
Speaker 1: Barrett's teeth in their article talking about how much money
Speaker 1: it made. But yeah, even when talking shit, they have
Speaker 1: to like make sure they get a dumb pun in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: boffo punning Hollywood Reporter.
Speaker 2: No, I guess yeah, something with fangs would have been
Speaker 2: too too much. So Barrett's teeth. I feel like that's
Speaker 2: the elegant one.
Speaker 1: I guess flash Its fangs. Yeah, Barrett's teeth is just
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's fine, but yeah, there's still The
Speaker 1: Variety released a movie an article this weekend for their
Speaker 1: VIP paywall section, claiming that there are too many horror
Speaker 1: movies scheduled for twenty five and like one of the
Speaker 1: horror movies they have in the image is Sinners. And
Speaker 1: again this is coming out the week after Sinners broke
Speaker 1: all sorts of box office records.
Speaker 2: They're like, say, you hate black people, righty? This is
Speaker 2: like so exhausting to try and talk around it in
Speaker 2: ways that don't even make sense, Like there's actually two
Speaker 2: The thing, this is what I say is horror overkill.
Speaker 2: Too many scary movies set for twenty too many scary movies,
Speaker 2: Are you fucking serious? This is like these are the
Speaker 2: proportion for budget to profit. This is like the shit
Speaker 2: studios love is horror fucking movies. Yeah, it's been very
Speaker 2: little and make a ton, so now yeah.
Speaker 1: They're the most profitable movie genre. Like they a third
Speaker 1: of the fifty most profitable movies in Hollywood history. Or horror.
Speaker 1: That's not the highest grossing, it's the ones that had
Speaker 1: the biggest difference between you know, that they spent and
Speaker 1: what they made.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's too many scary movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hard to notice that they weren't complaining about horror
Speaker 1: movies being a problem before.
Speaker 2: But next you're gonna be like, there's too many scary
Speaker 2: directors of whatever the fuck they're gonna.
Speaker 1: Say, too many scary directors walking around this town with
Speaker 1: just a picture. Ryan Coogler Spike Line First, Ryan Coogler.
Speaker 2: Is I he has to he has to go through
Speaker 2: so much shit. I just think about that time they
Speaker 2: called the cops on him when he was trying to
Speaker 2: like take a get a cash withdrawal out of a
Speaker 2: bank because it was like ten grand, and the cops
Speaker 2: like hemmed him up. Yeah, I'm like, man, leave this
Speaker 2: fucking guy, leave leave us alone. I let him fucking
Speaker 2: do his thing. Like this is I I'd love to
Speaker 2: hear the studio that put it out, like maybe have
Speaker 2: some kind of defense or pushback to like this like
Speaker 2: weird narrative. They're trying to get the catch, but they're
Speaker 2: the ones who probably pushed the story in the first place.
Speaker 2: They're like, God, we really fucked up with this deal.
Speaker 2: I mean it's making us money. Ah, he's gonna get
Speaker 2: the ownership.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they like they can't even feel good about the
Speaker 1: Star Wars re release doing well because in the twenty
Speaker 1: five year anniversary when Ryan Coogler re releases it, they
Speaker 1: don't get any of that money because he's gonna own it.
Speaker 1: At that point, affect the variety was like, it's the
Speaker 1: death of the studio system, even though Quentin Tarantino got
Speaker 1: the same deal and everyone's like, no, that makes sense
Speaker 1: for him.
Speaker 2: I kind of like that for him. And also you
Speaker 2: look at the consistency of Ryan Coogler's shit. It's yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's up, it's it's consistent. It's not like he
Speaker 2: makes shitty movies like it has like terrible swings in
Speaker 2: a miss like when he's really into something, like those
Speaker 2: films come out really well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it makes sense for Tarantino though, you know,
Speaker 1: but like this guy, I don't know, it's like he
Speaker 1: hasn't earned it or something.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Like, I don't know, he's
Speaker 2: just trying to do it off. He's just trying to
Speaker 2: do it off raw talent. Yeah, he's got a lot
Speaker 2: of raw talent miles. He's not getting in there working hard,
Speaker 2: you know what. I mean that work ethic. Are we
Speaker 2: talking about NBA players?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: What are you saying?
Speaker 1: Hey, All I'm saying is if I took that many shots,
Speaker 1: I'd score thirty a game too. What are you talking about, Well,
Speaker 1: like when you're making a movie, you have to take shot.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I'm just saying, guys.
Speaker 1: This is how they Michael Jordan for being too good.
Speaker 1: If you ask me, a guy's a bit of a
Speaker 1: hot dog. And then I do just want to note
Speaker 1: some late breaking news on uh so, I feel like
Speaker 1: there was a missed opportunity. Easter and four twenty happened
Speaker 1: on the same day.
Speaker 2: I wore my dream blunt Rotation T shirt that had
Speaker 2: the last up on it.
Speaker 1: I did my part, Miles did his part, but like
Speaker 1: there was not a massive like weed stir like put
Speaker 1: I don't know, like what whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 1: Like it could have been something. It could have been
Speaker 1: the Barbenheimer of getting high and eating at all you
Speaker 1: can eat buffet.
Speaker 2: That weekend they re released Passion of the Christ and
Speaker 2: Half Baked.
Speaker 1: You're like, dude, you're doing weedster Sunday. Yeah. But anyways,
Speaker 1: one guy besides Miles was up to the task. A
Speaker 1: hero in Texas staged in easter egg hunt for plastic
Speaker 1: eggs full of weed, and honestly, like, how was this
Speaker 1: not happening everywhere? But he posted clues on Facebook and
Speaker 1: provided hints to people he sold to, and now the
Speaker 1: cops are looking for him because that was a bad idea.
Speaker 2: You cannot. You can't be doing California behavior in Texas. Nah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you cannot. You're posting on Facebook to your custodes about
Speaker 2: where the ship's at that you sold. Are you.
Speaker 1: Take a class to learn how to use Facebook to
Speaker 1: catch people? Like they're already on Facebook posting about how
Speaker 1: hard their job is and how they how they got
Speaker 1: in a car that once had fentanyl and it almost
Speaker 1: killed them. Like Facebook is where they hang. But where
Speaker 1: you're posting.
Speaker 2: That's wild to me is that the police are. Like
Speaker 2: the suspect posted four photos on Facebook showing each location
Speaker 2: has hints to locate the eggs. He also posted a
Speaker 2: photo of five plastic eggs in the seat of a vehicle.
Speaker 2: Officers found four eggs and believed he had not placed
Speaker 2: a fit. So the cops were doing this scavenger hunt
Speaker 2: better than the customers were, Like y'all you have to
Speaker 2: They're on Facebook. They're on Facebook. Please we got eggs.
Speaker 1: And they were on it quicker like the idea that
Speaker 1: this was like a thing where like they got tipped off.
Speaker 2: I feel like they might have been onto this guy before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they got the eggs before anybody got the eggs. Like,
Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know either the guys customers
Speaker 1: were busy getting high on Easter or they just were like,
Speaker 1: this is a bad idea. Hys he posted this on Facebook,
Speaker 1: but this is in a signal chat.
Speaker 2: This feels like the first act of like a low
Speaker 2: stakes breaking bad where like a high school English teacher
Speaker 2: or like an elementary school teacher decides to sell weed
Speaker 2: and it's like, let me make it fun for me,
Speaker 2: fun for the kid. It was a preschool teacher and
Speaker 2: you can find them around everywhere, and the cops are like,
Speaker 2: hold on, this motherfucker's just posting it on Facebook. And
Speaker 2: then they get caught and like, shit, run for your life,
Speaker 2: but yeah, good luck, good luck to I feel a
Speaker 2: bit man. Those people are like, why why would I
Speaker 2: bro just give me my weed? I don't want to
Speaker 2: fucking go find it. I am a mystical, magical.
Speaker 1: All right, those are some of the things that are
Speaker 1: happening on this Monday morning. We are back tomorrow with
Speaker 1: a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be
Speaker 1: kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the
Speaker 1: vaccines while you still can get your flu shots. Don't
Speaker 1: do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to
Speaker 1: y'all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye, doctor, Doctor at
