Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Emmy Nomination Trends. They're here, folks, Finally
Speaker 1: we've been waiting. I have literally nothing to say about
Speaker 1: these fucking things, but I am Jack Miles is out
Speaker 1: on the road today, but I'm thrilled to be joined
Speaker 1: by a super producer, Becca Roma. How are you doing?
Speaker 1: Back up?
Speaker 2: I'm great, are you, Jack?
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. I mean, I'm excited. I have my
Speaker 1: next vacation planned based on the world's largest cruise ship,
Speaker 1: five times larger than the Titanic, which I forget how
Speaker 1: that one did. But no, for me, Jack, that's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be no on this one. It is set to
Speaker 1: make its debut in jan twenty twenty four. I believe
Speaker 1: it's called the Icon.
Speaker 2: We learn, you know, don't fuck with the Ocean. I just.
Speaker 1: That does seem to be the Ocean's take on things.
Speaker 1: As we're going to get into another story. We don't
Speaker 1: have any more fodder for the Summer of the Shark,
Speaker 1: but we got some fodder for the Summer of the
Speaker 1: Sea Otter. Yeah good. I just need to like start
Speaker 1: doing local news. I feel like just the local news
Speaker 1: teases is like what I've discovered after thousands of these episodes,
Speaker 1: and I think I have a gift. I think I
Speaker 1: think my gift is local news tease. That'll be my aka.
Speaker 1: I'm one of the local news teeth. But all right,
Speaker 1: So this cruise ship called the Icon of the Seas
Speaker 1: very humble. Uh it measures I don't know, Like the
Speaker 1: measurements don't make don't read as anything to me. You know,
Speaker 1: like one ninety eight feet what. I haven't seen a
Speaker 1: cruise ship bigger than one thousand, one hundred feet, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't fucking know what that means.
Speaker 2: It looks big.
Speaker 1: It looks big as hell, all dog, This thing looks
Speaker 1: big as hell. Dog. It is capable of carrying seven
Speaker 1: six hundred guests. The way it really drive, the thing
Speaker 1: that drives home to me is just like the features.
Speaker 1: It's like so many water slides. The ship is divided
Speaker 1: into eight primary era areas Becca, all of which I'm
Speaker 1: sure you will be exploring. The aqua dome it's at
Speaker 1: the top of the front of the ship. It is
Speaker 1: the era of the orb as we recently covered, So
Speaker 1: it makes sense that they've got an aqua doome offering
Speaker 1: two and twenty degree views and a fifty foot waterfall.
Speaker 1: Fifty five foot waterfall.
Speaker 3: Like you're already at sea, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like you're already in the ocean. Why do you need
Speaker 3: a fafty five foot waterfall? Like the idea of already
Speaker 3: being in this massive ship and then on top of
Speaker 3: the ship there is.
Speaker 1: A waterfall that is well because the ship has too
Speaker 1: much shit on it, so you have to see around
Speaker 1: all the other shit to be able to see that
Speaker 1: you're on this seat.
Speaker 3: It's like you're trying to drown, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like this is too much.
Speaker 1: I have a very like oblivious take on this. Like
Speaker 1: my first thought was, so I've never been on a
Speaker 1: cruise ship. I've been on lots of fishing boats to
Speaker 1: the point that I don't like really get motion sickness.
Speaker 1: My kids are obsessed with cruise ships from the outside,
Speaker 1: just like you know, we had a book of like
Speaker 1: how ships work or something like that, and they saw
Speaker 1: a cruise ship and we're immediately in love and like
Speaker 1: seeing it through their eyes again, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's that is cool. That looks amazing. I want to
Speaker 1: go on one of these, like fucking water slides on
Speaker 1: a boat on the water. Yes, please roller coasters, give
Speaker 1: it all to me. And as I said as before
Speaker 1: we were started recording, I was like, and the thing
Speaker 1: that makes me feel safe about cruise ships is like,
Speaker 1: remember that to Concordia, like that ship captain who was
Speaker 1: like trying to impress a woman and like was like
Speaker 1: slaloming his fucking cruise ship through a crowded harbor and
Speaker 1: it like turned over. It's like one of the scariest
Speaker 1: looking images of the cruise ship on its side because
Speaker 1: because that is like always your fear with a cruise
Speaker 1: ship is like, well, why isn't that thing just tipping
Speaker 1: the hell over? It feels like it should tip over,
Speaker 1: And you know that thing tipped over and nobody died,
Speaker 1: So I feel safe on these And I said that,
Speaker 1: and then super Produserve Victor was like, yeah, actually thirty
Speaker 1: two people died, all of them horribly in like a
Speaker 1: whirlpool because there weren't enough There weren't enough lifeboats and they.
Speaker 2: Were left in the water too.
Speaker 3: Log Like that is terrifying a whirlpool, Like, I submit
Speaker 3: my brain, no, no, I can't even like I'm like
Speaker 3: in the ocean and I'm like, if I can't see
Speaker 3: my toes, We're done, you know, Like my it isn't
Speaker 3: above the water.
Speaker 2: I'm good, I can swim.
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to, you know, but I'm trying to
Speaker 3: just lay and then how I'm trying to be lost
Speaker 3: at sea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so those are the things that scare me. Like,
Speaker 1: I know, like what when I was drinking, I would
Speaker 1: have definitely blacked out and like fell off the back
Speaker 1: of the cruise ship and just like never been heard
Speaker 1: from again. Like that would have totally happened to me.
Speaker 1: I would just like.
Speaker 2: Wandering, You're lost forever.
Speaker 1: No, I'm no one home. Yeah, totally. That that scares me.
Speaker 1: The neurovirus outbreaks which are surging on cruise ships this year,
Speaker 1: and just like all the food poisoning and all that,
Speaker 1: all that bad stuff scares me. And now the boat thinking,
Speaker 1: I guess should scare me again till thirty two. I
Speaker 1: think my brain at the time processes like only thirty two.
Speaker 2: People on the boat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like my odds are pretty good. But yeah, there's
Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot to recommend these. It's
Speaker 1: just it does like appeal to your inner child. It
Speaker 1: does also feel like there's way too many people to
Speaker 1: be around, Like you wouldn't be alone, You wouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to like find a place to be alone for
Speaker 1: the entirety of your time.
Speaker 3: On the you're like in bunk beds, like you're like
Speaker 3: shacked up with other people. I mean maybe not all
Speaker 3: of them, but it's like there's like four little twin
Speaker 3: beds and you're like, oh, yeah, this is a vacation.
Speaker 2: I'm in this little twin bed on a boat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just in the barracks down below, shoveling coal
Speaker 1: into the fire and sleeping in like communal bunk beds.
Speaker 2: But I cut you off lists of the other crazy
Speaker 2: shit on this boat.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Sweet Neighborhood with a Mediterranean restaurant and
Speaker 1: two floor sun deck, a five deck high open air
Speaker 1: central park with living plant walls, Chill Island bro with
Speaker 1: four pools and a swim up bar, Thrill Island featuring
Speaker 1: what the company says is the largest water park at
Speaker 1: sea called Category six because you want you want to
Speaker 1: is a disaster, you.
Speaker 2: Know, like a category five hurricane.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Six fun.
Speaker 1: There's an area dedicated to families called surf Side the
Speaker 1: Royal Promenade with ocean views.
Speaker 3: The Hideaway is a funny highlight because like, is it
Speaker 3: not three sixty ocean views on a road?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Hideaway offers one hundred and eighty degree views
Speaker 1: at the back of the ship and an infinity pool.
Speaker 1: But uh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun anyone trying to go on this boat.
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and go on this boat. I think.
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to try and do it. Like
Speaker 1: I've promised myself like one time before. My kids are
Speaker 1: too old to like get on this thing and want
Speaker 1: to immediately lose me. You know, I'm going to I'm
Speaker 1: going to take them on a cruise ship. So well,
Speaker 1: we'll see. But speaking of the sea attacking is fighting
Speaker 1: back against humanity. We've heard about the orc is attacking
Speaker 1: the ships. We've heard the buzz about it being the
Speaker 1: summer of the Shark, the oceans being swarming with sharks
Speaker 1: off the off the coast of various swimming beaches. That
Speaker 1: one seems to be over hyped and bullshit. But this one.
Speaker 1: If the story I'm about to tell you was any
Speaker 1: other animal, the mainstream media would be in a fucking
Speaker 1: panic right now, they would be losing their shit. So
Speaker 1: since mid June, an otter like a seat, the one
Speaker 1: at the end of Finding Dory the sea otters like
Speaker 1: the most aggressive thing they do is like cutely hug
Speaker 1: one another and it causes like a traffic jam, like
Speaker 1: they are the puppies of the sea. Well, one of
Speaker 1: these puppies of the sea, one of you are so
Speaker 1: called puppies of the sea, has been attacking and terrorizing
Speaker 1: surfers off the Santa Cruz coast line, in at least
Speaker 1: one case stealing a board, and in recent days the
Speaker 1: attacks have grown increasingly aggressive. So it's like an ongoing situation.
Speaker 3: I love how in this La Times article it says
Speaker 3: since mid June and otter which remains nameless, as if.
Speaker 2: They're trying to keep the identity of the otter.
Speaker 1: I know, miss, it's like you, that is your decision. Friend.
Speaker 1: You are the ones who name the animals, like you're
Speaker 1: the ones who like white gladye didn't come through. White
Speaker 1: Gladys is the orca that was attacking the yachts. White
Speaker 1: Glads didn't come through and be like, all right, fine,
Speaker 1: you can have my name as White gladdys y'all named her.
Speaker 1: This otter remains nameless because you just haven't come up
Speaker 1: with the right name to sell newspapers. But Lee said
Speaker 1: so that this person who'd been surfing near an otter
Speaker 1: for most of the time he was there, he was
Speaker 1: like it was being peaceful and friendly, and all of
Speaker 1: us surfers were like, Oh, it's so cute. That's what
Speaker 1: they want you to think, you dumb fuck. But then
Speaker 1: another otter appeared seemingly out of nowhere, which, yeah, it
Speaker 1: didn't sneak attack you. It's just in the ocean, so
Speaker 1: like you don't see it coming their home. You're in
Speaker 1: their home, pal.
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be.
Speaker 1: The thing came out of nowhere. What did you think
Speaker 1: it was going to announce itself while it was on
Speaker 1: shore and then come at you and swam at another surfer.
Speaker 1: At first we were like, look, how cute. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they added that the question mark because surfers
Speaker 1: speak with upspeak. But then it bit down on the
Speaker 1: board and it chewed off a piece, and we were like,
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 3: People forget that otters are predators, like they are like
Speaker 3: like on the.
Speaker 1: Editors, they're not vegans.
Speaker 2: They are not supposed to be friendly.
Speaker 1: That's when it turned its eyes on Lee and made
Speaker 1: a beeline for him. I was scared. I was trying
Speaker 1: to swim away, but before I was able to get far,
Speaker 1: it bit my leash, said, describing the tether surfers wear
Speaker 1: around their ankle and connects them to the board. So
Speaker 1: I panicked, and then he like tried to flip it off,
Speaker 1: and it just like scrambled back on because it's better
Speaker 1: at this thing you are, this is where it lives.
Speaker 1: It's it's good.
Speaker 2: Like legs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there would be an all at war on
Speaker 1: otters if they weren't so fucking cute. I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: glad they are so cute. I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: this otter deserves to be done anything. But like, given space,
Speaker 1: there are plenty places to surf in southern California. Go
Speaker 1: find a different location. But it does seem like we've
Speaker 1: we've pissed the ocean gods off. Becca. I think that
Speaker 1: they've had enough for our bullshit.
Speaker 2: And I'm with her.
Speaker 1: I'm with her, yes, fuck aside, and it's a it's
Speaker 1: a woman, that is what I'm saying, all Right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back. That was quick. We got a baffo box
Speaker 1: office report. Becca. First of all, you know Sound of Freedom.
Speaker 1: We were all wondering, is this thing just are they
Speaker 1: just selling tickets by buying them for one another? Still
Speaker 1: unclear on that, but it does. It is continuing to
Speaker 1: sell tickets. It is like the number one movie at
Speaker 1: the box office right now.
Speaker 4: The more I've learned about it, it's it makes sense
Speaker 4: like they they haven't had one, they haven't had a
Speaker 4: movie for them in a long time, the right and
Speaker 4: or like one that they can believe is for them,
Speaker 4: and so they need this baby.
Speaker 3: Wasn't enough because it's Nazis and Adiana Jones, so they
Speaker 3: needed you know, Mission impossible.
Speaker 1: Well no, this is I'm talking Sound of Freedom. Oh,
Speaker 1: sound of Freedom. Sorry, we haven't even gotten to.
Speaker 2: Mission about what is sound of Freedom?
Speaker 1: Sound of Freedom? Is that like QAnon? Yeah? Sorry, So
Speaker 1: Sound of Freedom is a movie though for those who
Speaker 1: haven't been listening, Sound of Freedom is a movie that
Speaker 1: is like I.
Speaker 2: Just assumed that was the new Vision Impossible.
Speaker 1: Mission impossible. Sound of Freedom.
Speaker 2: That sounds about right right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It does, and I don't know why. I assume everybody's
Speaker 1: up on Sound of Freedom. This is starring Jim Caviezel
Speaker 1: Jesus himself, who has like turned into a full Q
Speaker 1: weirdo and he's like an action hero similar. Like it
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like it's actually full Q. It's just like
Speaker 1: very similar to a lot of action movies that create
Speaker 1: a world in which foreign people are constantly trying to
Speaker 1: buy and sell humans. You know, human trafficking is a thing,
Speaker 1: but they're source for like how human trafficking actually works
Speaker 1: and how you combat human trafficking is a full on
Speaker 1: like charlottean grifter guy who everybody who's an expert on
Speaker 1: human trafficking is like this guy, we should not be
Speaker 1: talking to him. He's he is an expert on this
Speaker 1: in the way that Steven Sagal law Man like that
Speaker 1: that reality show is an expert on fighting urban crime. Anyways,
Speaker 1: that one's still doing well, So we might have to
Speaker 1: just admit there are a lot of the people who
Speaker 1: want to who want to watch this piece of shit,
Speaker 1: but mission impossible. Dead Reckoning had its midnight previews last night,
Speaker 1: and it is somewhere between seven million and up, which
Speaker 1: the previous one was I think in the sixes, so
Speaker 1: like it. It's doing incredibly well. The reviews are really glowing.
Speaker 1: The villain is stupid according to the reviews. Well they
Speaker 1: into that a little bit more on tomorrow's episode, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Cruz has done it again. So it's like
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna are going to see this.
Speaker 1: And then you go back to the movies. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: movies are having quite quite the moment right now with
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible is going to do really well. And then
Speaker 1: and then Boppenheimer, which Bobenheimer, Barbenheimer or Boppenheimer. We prefer
Speaker 1: Boppenheimer on here because it is like it gives it
Speaker 1: a little fun Bobby vibe. But you you already have
Speaker 1: your Barbie outfit picked out.
Speaker 2: I am my Barbie outfit, y'all.
Speaker 3: I am so soaked to be having in my possession
Speaker 3: a juice guitur hot pink Barbie pink sweatsuit.
Speaker 2: I look incredible in it.
Speaker 3: I've never wanted to be a real housewive of Beverly
Speaker 3: Hills more than I do at this very much time.
Speaker 2: I need to go find me a sugar daddy.
Speaker 3: I need to be carrying a little dog in a
Speaker 3: purse and need to become Himara Siltan.
Speaker 1: That is my goal, is.
Speaker 3: What I'm trying to emulate. When I go to the premiere,
Speaker 3: I have a little few shipping heels. I got my girls.
Speaker 3: I already bought the tickets. Me and my girls were
Speaker 3: going to BAM the Brooklyn Art Museum or weow Brooklyn
Speaker 3: Academy of Music. There's two bams in Brooklyn, and it
Speaker 3: is frustrating because I understood BAM for a long time
Speaker 3: as the Brooklyn Art Museum, and now people are like, oh,
Speaker 3: I went to BAM to go see X y Z
Speaker 3: and they mean the Brooklyn Academy of Music. I've never
Speaker 3: heard music out of there. I've only ever seen movies.
Speaker 1: So that's where you're going to see Barb Barbie.
Speaker 3: But I am going to go see Barbie there and
Speaker 3: maybe I'm gonna have her. But Barbie, Yes, open.
Speaker 1: Nights, Wow, real, Barb stam.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to see it. I r L.
Speaker 3: I don't have to wait. I'm not going to be
Speaker 3: late to this game. I don't want to see any tweets.
Speaker 3: I want to be in there on time.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm excited. Well, you are going to have that opportunity,
Speaker 1: but it seems like it's good good times for the
Speaker 1: box office in the coming weeks. So in the world
Speaker 1: of Hollywood, they there is a deadline article that speaks
Speaker 1: to insiders on the bad guy side of the strike.
Speaker 1: So we're heading into at midnight tonight, SAG Screen Actors
Speaker 1: Guild is going to have to decide if they're going
Speaker 1: to strike or not. Hopefully they are. You know, the
Speaker 1: last time that SAG and the Writers Guild struck together,
Speaker 1: there were major gains for the people who actually make
Speaker 1: the art that you're interested in, and not just the
Speaker 1: people who figure out how to maximally profit off of it,
Speaker 1: but the people who figure out how to maximally profit
Speaker 1: off of it. The CEOs and like the executives are
Speaker 1: kind of quietly saying their strategy were people. So it
Speaker 1: might actually be their strategy. It might just be them
Speaker 1: talking tough to try and scare writers into coming back
Speaker 1: to the table. But this new deadline article gave quotes
Speaker 1: where CEOs want to let the strike bleed out and
Speaker 1: the endgame is quote to allow things to drag on
Speaker 1: until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses.
Speaker 3: And it's so fucked up Like that gave me a
Speaker 3: sceral reaction to hear, like, because it's like the whole
Speaker 3: reason they're shriking is because they are not being given
Speaker 3: their word, and the people that have the power to
Speaker 3: give them them worth are the ones who will never
Speaker 3: lose their house. So it's like, ma, we want to
Speaker 3: just maybeople feel like such shit that they're homeless and
Speaker 3: they have to work for us. How does that create
Speaker 3: any resolution for anybody in the industry. No one would
Speaker 3: want to work in the industry, Like everyone's working slave wages,
Speaker 3: Like what is this?
Speaker 2: Like, it's just America's so busted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're saying the WGA will hopefully be forced to
Speaker 1: restart talks before a very cold Christmas, which is just
Speaker 1: like the.
Speaker 2: Evil that's like literally a movie like.
Speaker 1: What they are the movie vis Yeah. They also this
Speaker 1: will presumably before any be before any CEO's risk another
Speaker 1: Christmas where they will be visited by three ghosts.
Speaker 3: Who's giving National Lampoon's Christmas vacation? You know Chevy Chase
Speaker 3: evil but you know his boss really did him dirty
Speaker 3: in that one.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Certainly cut everyone's Christmas bonuses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the union side is staying strong and pointing
Speaker 1: out that this is just a negotiation tactic and hopefully
Speaker 1: an empty threat, especially if Sag joins. That's when, like
Speaker 1: real change. The producers are going to have to like
Speaker 1: come back to the drawing board. They Yeah, they're also
Speaker 1: like this is a necessary evil, that's what they're saying.
Speaker 1: They're basically telling on themselves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think there's anything necessary just evil about.
Speaker 1: We're Yeah, we're an unnecessary evil would actually be more accurate.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Otterheimer is that something. Maybe that would be
Speaker 1: a nickname for the ot capture the zeitgeist. Brian suggesting
Speaker 1: Oscar the Ornery ardor Ard Otter. That one's too hard
Speaker 1: for me to say, so I'm gonna reject it on
Speaker 1: those grounds alone. Oscar the Ornery Otter. There it is
Speaker 1: all right? Well, Becca Ramos, thank you so much for joining.
Speaker 1: Where can people? Oh shit, we never talked about the
Speaker 1: Emmy Awards. I don't like so, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: the Emmy Awards. They announced the nominations. Is a little weird,
Speaker 1: like nobody really knows when the show will be because
Speaker 1: of the writer's strike.
Speaker 2: No one's writing for it right.
Speaker 1: This is also the seventy fifth anniversary of the Emmy Awards,
Speaker 1: which I mean that's I've been looking forward to this
Speaker 1: for a long time.
Speaker 2: I don't know, god, seventy five years the.
Speaker 1: So I mean the nominees in drama and or better
Speaker 1: call Saul, the Crown, House of the Dragon, the Last
Speaker 1: of Us Succession, The White Lotus, Yellow Jackets, and comedy, Abvid, Elementary,
Speaker 1: Barry the Bear, Jury Duty, Marvelous Missus, Masls still out
Speaker 1: here doing it? Who knew?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the last season. I think that one was.
Speaker 1: Only Waiters in the Building ted Lasso Wednesday, Uh yeah, Wednesday. Wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the only I didn't have a problem with much until
Speaker 1: we got to the end of that list, and then,
Speaker 1: like ted Lasso, remember not maybe it doesn't need to
Speaker 1: be on there, and maybe we put reservation dogs in there.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, Wednesday, maybe don't need to be a thern.
Speaker 1: Maybe we put Atlanta Atlanta. These seemed like the decisions
Speaker 1: that would have been made by more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wednesday. It was such because I felt like the
Speaker 2: reviews were not great.
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it like I just enjoyed it as like
Speaker 3: a fun watch, but I wasn't like Emmy Award winning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Barry was larious at the end, like I see
Speaker 1: how that's outstanding comedy series. That shit cracked me up.
Speaker 1: Put shout out to Abbott Elementary, which I'm assuming will
Speaker 1: continue to just clean up. And do we have our
Speaker 1: tagline for Ouderheimer Oderheimer, I am become destroyer of boards.
Speaker 1: I think I think green lighted. We are scabs by
Speaker 1: the way we are pitching scripts to Hollywood producers. So yeah,
Speaker 1: just just hit us up. Uh, that's gonna do it,
Speaker 1: super producer, Beck, thank you so much for joining. Where
Speaker 1: can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff?
