Speaker 1: I mean everyone's in it no matter what.
Speaker 2: Yet it well my entire social media feed.
Speaker 1: By Osmosis, and it's it's ambient everywhere. Little disheartening given
Speaker 1: the atrocity sound being across the world that like this

Speaker 1: He's like I watched this mustard on the beat Hope,

Speaker 2: Yeah, I think people needed a distraction maybe this weekend.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, oh yes.
Speaker 2: All right, So we're gonna get into all the things
Speaker 2: that are trending. First, we like to let you guys
Speaker 2: get to know us a little bit better by telling
Speaker 2: you some things that we think are overrated, underrated. Miles,
Speaker 2: you want to kick us off with some of these
Speaker 2: things ot overrated? Okay, So my overrated is Stanley Quencher's.
Speaker 2: They're done, they're cooked, no washed, they're drinking. Yes, I'm
Speaker 2: telling you it's over for So I'm visiting family, uh
Speaker 2: and in Miami right now. And one of her Majesty's
Speaker 2: younger cousins had a birthday.
Speaker 1: She's like in junior high and whenever we talk, I'm
Speaker 1: always I'm just always picking her brain about like what,
Speaker 1: like what the fuck is cool or you know, like
Speaker 1: what the cool shoes are, like if they fuck with
Speaker 1: this or that? Whatever? And when I asked if she
Speaker 1: had a Stanley, she was like, a, yeah, I got
Speaker 1: two of those. And she's like but she's like, but
Speaker 1: that's not even what everyone's using now. And I was
Speaker 1: like what and she's like yeah, and now everyone is
Speaker 1: starting to get the simp modern and I said, what
Speaker 1: the fuck is that? So I google it. It's it's
Speaker 1: the fun I don't know how the same thing. It's
Speaker 1: the fucking same thing. It's just like a little more
Speaker 1: minimal somehow, just a little bit the esthetically less lead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's made of. But I was like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean. She's like, yeah, people like simple
Speaker 1: moderns now like Stanley's are still cool, but like, I
Speaker 1: think simple moderns like people are trying to like those more.
Speaker 1: And this is obviously one very narrow, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: anecdote from one school where this is come, this is happening, right.
Speaker 1: It's just like the idea that suddenly the thing that
Speaker 1: was the must have fucking cup, like within fucking weeks
Speaker 1: is suddenly this other thing that looks pretty much the
Speaker 1: sack is so funny to me that it's like and
Speaker 1: also the idea that's like it's over, bro, it's over.
Speaker 2: It's over, Stanley, I mean it it didn't feel like.
Speaker 2: So we talked about how the guy who uh is
Speaker 2: I think the CEO at Stanley had been or chief
Speaker 2: marketing officer at Kroc Crocs when they like became a
Speaker 2: big thing. But like Crocs were unique and specific enough
Speaker 2: of a product that like, once they became popular, it's
Speaker 2: not like people were just like, oh no, I like,
Speaker 2: go to this other thing. I mean, there are other
Speaker 2: versions of Crocs, but Crocs had been around for so long,
Speaker 2: whereas like Stanley is just like one of many many
Speaker 2: like yeah, cup Quencher brands right that ye tumblers, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, they come and they go, They come and
Speaker 1: they go.
Speaker 2: So you know he's gonna need to move on to
Speaker 2: his next next thing, spinny propeller hats for him.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them. More and more unironically, I think
Speaker 1: I think I should sent you a message when I
Speaker 1: was in Japan when I saw a kid's clothing store
Speaker 1: another fuck un ironically.
Speaker 2: Yeah, coming to Dunce caps also, I think those on
Speaker 2: Dunce caps that I think plan hoods for students exactly
Speaker 2: for the bad studentslan hood basically yeah, exactly, just without
Speaker 2: the eye covering. Although you could just like take old
Speaker 2: clan hoods and like push the mask part up into
Speaker 2: into the crown.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: In case you got some old plan hoods lining around,
Speaker 2: you can easily repurpose.
Speaker 1: Those in the dunce. Yeah, it's not a windsock, like
Speaker 1: he keeps telling you it is all right. My overrated
Speaker 1: is like.
Speaker 2: I just keep seeing these mind like the mind of men,
Speaker 2: like memes like the we talked about the Rome one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like men all.
Speaker 2: Men think about Like men talk about Rome constantly. Men
Speaker 2: think about sex every seven seconds.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: The latest one I heard recently is that like every
Speaker 2: man I've ever asked says that eagles are their favorite bird.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I'm just it's so dumb, man,
Speaker 1: the eagles their favorite bird?
Speaker 2: Yeah shit, so in it's both condescending, but it also
Speaker 2: like I then have to spend so much time and
Speaker 2: energy researching eagles and Rome and forcing myself to think
Speaker 2: about sex so that I don't get my man card revoked.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's the most important thing too, Yeah, hanging
Speaker 2: on to my man card.
Speaker 1: Bro, when the masculine mind police show up and like,
Speaker 1: hey man, you think about sex, right? Yeah? Bro? And
Speaker 1: until you came in here. That's yeah. I was actually
Speaker 1: thinking of a Roman crest that had an eagle and
Speaker 1: that was on a man having sex. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just I do it efficiently. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, prior to finding out what I was
Speaker 2: supposed to be into, I hummingbirds were my favorite bird,
Speaker 2: and I didn't think about Rome unless that B fifty
Speaker 2: two song was playing. I don't even think that's about
Speaker 2: the city of Rome, but that was really the only time.
Speaker 2: And I could go like literally hours without thinking about sex.
Speaker 2: But I've I've cured myself of of those thought crimes
Speaker 2: and now I'm true.
Speaker 1: Man. Uh, I just have that one AirPod in all
Speaker 1: day that says eagles room sex, that's right. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of what the favorite bird. Thing's so
Speaker 1: weird because I've never I don't think I've ever had
Speaker 1: to articulate a response to that. It's just like I
Speaker 1: think bird, I don't. Sometimes birds just freak me out.
Speaker 1: Not no, like they freaked me out, but like like
Speaker 1: we like they're not chill, like you try and grab
Speaker 1: a bird, like like they're fluttering and sh' like ahh,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? Eh? Yeah, But I think honestly, for me,
Speaker 1: I think it's probably a tie between like crows and
Speaker 1: and vultures or condors vultures. Damn yea, all right, because
Speaker 1: I did it. I remember the condor thing, specifically the
Speaker 1: California condor. I remember how like that was like one
Speaker 1: of the first reports I did as a child, Like
Speaker 1: we had to do an endangered animal report, and that
Speaker 1: was when I did. And I was like, oh, this this,
Speaker 1: this fucking this big fucker is pretty cool. That big fucker,
Speaker 1: big fucker, giant fucker almost extinct, but I think now
Speaker 1: the populations are covered. But yeah, uh and then crows, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they used tools and ship that such a They
Speaker 1: fucking used tools.
Speaker 2: The man they used us as tools. They used tracked
Speaker 2: nuts on the street to have our cars drive over it.
Speaker 1: Because the corned beef going. It's like there's a there's
Speaker 1: a squirrel that is So I had corvids.
Speaker 2: There were tearing plants out of our yard, and then
Speaker 2: I started feeding them almonds and we were cool for
Speaker 2: a little while, and then a squirrel found.
Speaker 1: Out that I was feeding them almonds.
Speaker 2: So now I've had to like stop because I was
Speaker 2: just get like giving this squirrel like chronic obesity. It
Speaker 2: was getting like too fat to like climb trees.
Speaker 1: Oh like you could see it.
Speaker 2: Oh like yeah, it see the squirrel getting fat.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And also he would take the almonds and bury them,
Speaker 2: so he contributed to the problem. So, but they haven't
Speaker 2: been fucking our yard up or any umbrellas up. So
Speaker 2: I think we have like a grudging respect for one another.
Speaker 1: I do. I do wish we could have just like
Speaker 1: a you know, unlike a quid pro pro.
Speaker 2: I've said it before, but it really is the only
Speaker 2: way to describe the relationship. I'm after where I could
Speaker 2: just feed them and they could protect our yard from
Speaker 2: anything that wanted to fuck with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, maybe if there's like a
Speaker 1: corvid whisper or something that can broker that deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, frequent guest been Bowling had some ideas, but it
Speaker 2: involved like me wearing a hat and having a call
Speaker 2: that I did to the crow when I would go
Speaker 2: out to feed them, and it just I could I.
Speaker 1: Couldn't bring myself to do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Unfortunately, we're we're paused at this points. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: crows are awesome and probably you know, higher on my
Speaker 2: list than eagles and uh yeah, vultures. In Yeah, the
Speaker 2: California condor like they just when you're driving on a
Speaker 2: highway in California sometimes like something will fly over your
Speaker 2: car that is the size of a fucking truck.
Speaker 1: A shadow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are massive fucking birds out here that are
Speaker 2: really cool. Not as cool as eagles though, Man, fucking eagles.
Speaker 1: Is that like that's just that it has to be
Speaker 1: like an American thing, right, because that's probably that's all
Speaker 1: eagle man full.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if it's like CIA shit, like
Speaker 2: the way that the CIA, like what funded modern art.
Speaker 2: They've like moved on to like internet memes that are
Speaker 2: like thought controlled devices for people sex Eagle exactly all
Speaker 2: these candidates are going to activate. It's like we need
Speaker 2: to get people thinking about the fall of Rome because
Speaker 2: we're in a state of decline. So yes, we need
Speaker 2: to like get them, but then they'll see comperatively, this
Speaker 2: fall is better because at least there's TV and internet.
Speaker 2: While they just had circuses and bread, we have togos
Speaker 2: and outback steakhouts the best what.
Speaker 1: Something miles that you think is underrated? Underrated?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Just what a formula one Grand Prix does to a city. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm in Miami. The Miami Grand Prix happened over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and everywhere you look there were people dressed up in
Speaker 1: Formula one regalia. There was fucking buses with just all
Speaker 1: kinds of sponsors emblazoned on it for all the different
Speaker 1: racing teams. Uh, they're just parties. There's cars, just insane
Speaker 1: displays of wealth. I was walking along the beach and
Speaker 1: like I thought my eyes, like it was at night,
Speaker 1: and there's just like this black mass on the tent,
Speaker 1: like on the beach, and it was a fucking tent
Speaker 1: the size of a fucking aviation hangar on the sand, okay,
Speaker 1: and just music fucking blaring out of it. All these
Speaker 1: like very well dressed people going in and out, and
Speaker 1: I was like, what the fuck is going on? And
Speaker 1: then I asked the security guard. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: what's this. He's like Ferrari party and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: for the He's like, yeah, for the Formula one thing.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what why is it so big?
Speaker 1: He's like they like. He's like there's cars in there,
Speaker 1: there's like live performances. He's like it's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, holy shit.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then I was like reading a thing too about
Speaker 1: how like I think to Grand Prix there was like
Speaker 1: some places that were charging people two hundred dollars for
Speaker 1: chicken wings. Yeah, like just because they can. And I
Speaker 1: I think I severely underrated. Like I've seen the show
Speaker 1: and you know, I get like the drama between the
Speaker 1: teams and things like that, but the consumer culture around
Speaker 1: it is fucking wild. Like on the flight from LA
Speaker 1: there were so many people like dressed up like it
Speaker 1: was like like Davos but more fun, right, you know,
Speaker 1: Like it was just like all these hyper wealthy people
Speaker 1: like being like, oh where are you staying? Like oh yeah,
Speaker 1: like we're gonna be We're gonna be in the paddock.
Speaker 1: Dah da da da. And I just had no idea,
Speaker 1: Like I I was ignorant to this, So yeah, I
Speaker 1: was completely underrating what that whole shit is, like the
Speaker 1: amount of infrastructure that moves, the amount of money that flows.
Speaker 1: And like dude, they were fucking police escorting civilians in
Speaker 1: fancy cars to get through traffic all weekend. What Like
Speaker 1: I would hear siren like oh shit, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: like what the fuck's going on? To bike cops and
Speaker 1: then like a beamer behind it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is this bike cops or motorcycle like
Speaker 1: mot yeah, motorcycle cops. Yeah, it is so hard holding
Speaker 1: up a bluetooth speaker to be a siren. But and
Speaker 1: then I and then I like asked the locals like, Yo,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is this? Like oh yeah, they just
Speaker 1: it's dude, this is like this is Miami, man, Like,
Speaker 1: if you're rich enough, you can get a police escort
Speaker 1: like wherever through traffic. And I was like, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool,
Speaker 1: that's wild. Yeah I want that.
Speaker 2: We were like I think we've talked before about how
Speaker 2: Moscow you can, like with the rich kind of travel
Speaker 2: around in ambulances with the sirens on, so like because
Speaker 2: everything else is like grid luck and yeah, we're not
Speaker 2: far away, We're we're headed towards Russian kleptocers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what's like, the hottest new car is an ambulance.
Speaker 1: Like the hottest new car is this ambulance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the met Galave sports that's just like
Speaker 2: the wealth. Yeah, the metcala is happening this week. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well we'll talk about the theme, which.
Speaker 1: Maybe can't. Yeah, I think that is the theme being
Speaker 1: completely out of touch. Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 2: There was an executive at like one of the companies
Speaker 2: that aren't cracked that was super into Formula one shit
Speaker 2: and yeah all the stuff. When he was like explaining
Speaker 2: to me why he's into it, it was all like
Speaker 2: just like, I mean, each of these engines is like
Speaker 2: five million dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I get that, like whatever, but it's
Speaker 1: like it's like the weird shit around it, right, It's
Speaker 1: like the scene around it too, where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I need to buy two hundred dollars chicken wings because
Speaker 1: I'm at this fucking event. You can't even there's no
Speaker 1: fucking world you congestin. They're like, or you get the
Speaker 1: caviar upgrade for four hundo. Yeah, no, we're to gook.
Speaker 1: Sure do you think do you think my underrated is
Speaker 1: just how much work we have left to do on
Speaker 1: natural peanut butter? Natural? The natural peanut butter, the ones.
Speaker 2: So about a year ago, as a family, we decided,
Speaker 2: you know, the peanut butter that doesn't separate is actually
Speaker 2: like we we don't want those chemicals or you know,
Speaker 2: if you want to starve peanut butter at this point,
Speaker 2: like it's because it has palm oil and weird ingredients
Speaker 2: that aren't good for you or the planet. So we
Speaker 2: made that decision, not saying everyone has to. You know,
Speaker 2: I spent my life up until last year living that
Speaker 2: no stir life. But now I'm a little bit better
Speaker 2: than people who still use no no stir peanut butter.
Speaker 2: And it's not a problem. You know, we all make
Speaker 2: our choices.
Speaker 1: But it's I don't know.
Speaker 2: I used to be able to, like eat peanut butter
Speaker 2: pretty seamlessly. It was a great protein delivery system for
Speaker 2: the kids. We're just log rolling ants on a log
Speaker 2: out here, and like this weekend, I was trying to
Speaker 2: make ants on a log and I realized, like the
Speaker 2: natural peanut butter we have was like past its expiration date.
Speaker 2: Like it was fine, we still ate it, it was okay,
Speaker 2: but like there there was never a time when we'd
Speaker 2: not use a no ster peanut butter, like to expiration date.
Speaker 2: It was like on that list of like things that
Speaker 2: never went to bad. Like I feel like we we
Speaker 2: never don't eat like apples, Like apples will never rot
Speaker 2: in our household, you know, like bananas have never gone
Speaker 2: bad in our household, Like you're saying the rate of
Speaker 2: consumption is consumption, Like we're never like forgetting about that.
Speaker 1: I thought you're like to seeing like we'll eat rotten
Speaker 1: apples in this house.
Speaker 2: Like it's just like those those foods that always get
Speaker 2: eat like right away the peanut butter was on that
Speaker 2: and now it's just the no ster thing. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying like it's the best we've got. I guess I'm
Speaker 2: just having that check it. Like when we were talking
Speaker 2: about paper straws, like you know, definitely the best option
Speaker 2: in terms of like for the planet, but not good enough.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's where we're at with peanut butter,
Speaker 2: Like we we need to come up with something.
Speaker 1: But I mean, what's what's the real threat of expire?
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. I didn't know peanut butter could
Speaker 1: go bad. And I've had jars that where it's like
Speaker 1: you get to that like final third and it's kind
Speaker 1: of just chilling and you always use it. And I
Speaker 1: never even thought twice to look at an expiration date. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know why, Like in my mind it's like honey,
Speaker 1: where it's like get that that's a shit kick. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think the reason that I was checking expiration dates
Speaker 2: was because it was like hard, Like the non oil
Speaker 2: part was so hard. I was like having to stir
Speaker 2: it in and I was, oh fucking blowing it. Man,
Speaker 2: I got oil everywhere. It was a disaster.
Speaker 1: Slatched them out run beautiful shirt with oil spains. So
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I I mean, there's there's Reddit hacks about like storing
Speaker 2: it upside down, and the refrigerator helped, but it's still.
Speaker 1: Just like such an oily mess iel. I feel like.
Speaker 2: Someone's there's a breakthrough to be made with natural peanut
Speaker 2: butter that Isn't this fucking annoying to deal with?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Would be?
Speaker 2: Would be my pitch to the world, my prayer for
Speaker 2: the world of peanut butter.
Speaker 1: Start reading the peanut butter trades man, stay up on
Speaker 1: all the new technology advancements, because they're they're happening. They're happening.
Speaker 1: Jackie just got to know where to look.
Speaker 2: Men read about peanut butter at least once every day.
Speaker 1: That's that's true. Yeah, I mean I just had to
Speaker 1: google it. Can it really go bad? I'm all worried now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: eating old peanut butter effect the last month. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I have to look at it when I get back
Speaker 1: to my house. I'm gonna, I think I'm going to
Speaker 1: be amazed at how old this thing is that I've
Speaker 1: just been like just picking away at over the last month.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah ours ours was expired in February and it
Speaker 2: was still fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was still fine. Watch I'm telling you, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm probably at least eighteen months off with this
Speaker 1: one that I've been eating at home.
Speaker 2: But like, do you remember, like, were you before four
Speaker 2: peanut butter like needed to be stirred? Did you consume
Speaker 2: peanut butter more than at a rate that would leave
Speaker 2: an eighteen month old jar in your pantry? Well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like when my like when my dad lived in
Speaker 1: the house, he was a big peanut butter guy. So
Speaker 1: we definitely got through it because I would always eat
Speaker 1: like peanut butter toast for breakfast.
Speaker 2: Yeah me too, Yeah, a little bit of butter that
Speaker 2: just a little bit of butter, Just a little bit
Speaker 2: of butter.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I'm not saying like I'm lazy.
Speaker 2: This is like pure laziness, like just not wanting you
Speaker 2: to deal with the stirring uh every time, And that's
Speaker 2: on me. But I'm just saying, like, as a I
Speaker 2: have found my equilibrium with peanut butter that needs to
Speaker 2: be stirred, and it is that I end up not
Speaker 2: using it because it's too much of a pain in
Speaker 2: the ass and the product like once even once it's stirred,
Speaker 2: it's still just like the consistency isn't quite there. I
Speaker 2: like it, So I don't know, ze, let me know
Speaker 2: if I if I'm fucking up, if there's like some
Speaker 2: really good version of the all natural peanut butter that
Speaker 2: I'm just missing out on. Uh, let me know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 2: talk about beef, another great protein delivery system, the Kendrick
Speaker 2: and Drake Beef will be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1: And what a weekend. What a fucking weekend. You heard propaganda.
Speaker 1: He came on the show and we were freaking out
Speaker 1: about this beef and where it was headed. Then Friday came.
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar dropped another track after the first one, Euphoria
Speaker 1: or you know, like whatever you want to tell ever
Speaker 1: you want, however you want to count these.
Speaker 2: Before drop, that's what you and Proper are talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it dropped earlier in the week, and it was like
Speaker 2: breaking streaming Records, and everyone was like, oh, Kendrick has
Speaker 2: won the beef, Like Kendrick has has won.
Speaker 1: This, Yeah, this is this is a lot he It's
Speaker 1: it was like a very like concern troll. It's like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm worried about you, man. You don't even know who
Speaker 1: you are? You okay, dudey fucking culture vulture. Yeah, which
Speaker 1: is kind of had that energy to it. Then on
Speaker 1: Friday morning, he dropped a track called six sixteen in La.
Speaker 1: Jack Antonoff, famous Taylor Swift collaborator, was also on that
Speaker 1: beef along with the producer sound Wave, and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people were like, this is him saying
Speaker 1: this is Taylor made, because that other Drake track was
Speaker 1: Taylor made, but this was literally made by the dude
Speaker 1: who makes Taylor's tracks. Like the amount of the I
Speaker 1: just love the amount of engagement this has caused where
Speaker 1: people like I tweeted this, like people are like hip
Speaker 1: hop fans are doing like QAnon levels of connecting the dots,
Speaker 1: like to a point where I'm like, all right, Like
Speaker 1: some of this shit makes sense. Other shit is truly
Speaker 1: Like JFK is going to reappear Daley Plaza, Daley Square,
Speaker 1: like get ready right. Then Drake responded by dropping this
Speaker 1: track Family Matters that evening and everyone with a full
Speaker 1: on music video of him like will look like crushing
Speaker 1: the Kid, Mad City Van, and everyone's like, whoa Drake,
Speaker 1: He's got a whole video and shit too. Not even
Speaker 1: fucking fifteen minutes goes by, Kendrick drops another fucking track
Speaker 1: called Meet the Grams, Yeah, with like talking about his
Speaker 1: family and shit, talking about how you got a fucking
Speaker 1: eleven year old daughter that is like.
Speaker 2: Secret seemingly like also responding to like family mess Family
Speaker 2: Matters like it was. It was like he somehow had
Speaker 2: heard Family Matters already there there was like some weird,
Speaker 2: spooky shit that was It was like he already he
Speaker 2: already knew what Drake was about to.
Speaker 1: Drop exactly and even had a line that said like
Speaker 1: did you ever think that Ovo could be working for me? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And you're like, what the fuck is going on? And
Speaker 1: then the next day you get this other fucking track,
Speaker 1: uh not like Us that came out and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: what in the fuck is happening? Kendrick does not stop
Speaker 1: dropping tracks. Uh. Then yesterday Drake drops another song called
Speaker 1: The Heart Part six and many people were like okay,
Speaker 1: like we needed we didn't even have a second to
Speaker 1: process the first Drake response because Kendrick replied so quickly
Speaker 1: and then this next one. It's interesting though, because so
Speaker 1: you know, there's like sort of a darkness to this
Speaker 1: whole beef because like Kendrick is accusing Drake of like
Speaker 1: grooming miners, Drake is accusing Kendrick of being a domestic abuser,
Speaker 1: and like you're like if true, Like this is so
Speaker 1: fucking this is just becoming more grim. But there's also
Speaker 1: this I don't know, the excitement that people have because
Speaker 1: this really it's like the music equivalent of people like
Speaker 1: insulting each other in the cafeteria like in junior high.
Speaker 1: We're like ooh, and like they come back with another thing,
Speaker 1: and everyone is just so fucking like everyone I was around,
Speaker 1: like some people knew about it, other people didn't. I
Speaker 1: was like looking strangers in the eyes, like on the street,
Speaker 1: to be like do you want to talk? No, okay,
Speaker 1: you enough for you just calling people in the phone book.
Speaker 1: How would you like to talk about the Kendrick? Yeah, Drake, Hi, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you? Is this Rachel? Is this Rachel Anderson?
Speaker 1: Oh there, okay, I'll hang up.
Speaker 2: Hi. Is this Eric and Mitchell's versus the Machines, by
Speaker 2: the way that I just saw where the kid the
Speaker 2: kid is going through the phone book just being like, Hi,
Speaker 2: would you like to talk to me about dinosaurs? No?
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you Cross truly truly joke shout out to
Speaker 1: that movie. But yeah, it's just it's like, as music fans,
Speaker 1: I've I honestly have not been so invested in like
Speaker 1: this back and forth between two artists like this, yea,
Speaker 1: and yeah, there's just a lot. There's just a lot
Speaker 1: fucking happening. But then like, so, the latest thing that
Speaker 1: happened is Drake's latest response. He's saying that he set
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar up with bad information about him having an
Speaker 1: eleven year old daughter and basically provoked this response based
Speaker 1: on all this bad information that Drake had secret been
Speaker 1: feeding Kendrick's camp. But everyone's like that none of that.
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense. If that was true, you felt
Speaker 1: like your first response to that Kendrick track wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been like, nah, uh right, I don't have an eleven
Speaker 1: year old daughter, But then be like, actually, dude, I
Speaker 1: planted that information and everyone's a little bit dubious on
Speaker 1: this fact because this is the logic of it does
Speaker 1: not make sense in any way. Yeah, so you know,
Speaker 1: here we are. I don't know if there's gonna be
Speaker 1: more songs. There might be, there might not be. It's like,
Speaker 1: to be honest, it's also like kind of exhausting to like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like listen so intently and just try and fucking picture
Speaker 1: it apart. But yeah, wow, I can't remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't remember the last time something like pop
Speaker 2: cultural has taken over the zeitgeis this thoroughly like it
Speaker 2: feels like Barbenheimer a little bit, Like Yeah, that weekend,
Speaker 2: like it was just all anyone was talking about on
Speaker 2: social media. People were talking about it, like like I
Speaker 2: said of the kid's birthday party, was that when I
Speaker 2: was like driving down the street, I heard Euphoria playing
Speaker 2: from like a pre like with the windows down, which
Speaker 2: is like such a weird, dark, contemplative feeling song. It
Speaker 2: broke like streaming records. I don't even think it's like
Speaker 2: the best song of of like what's been released, like
Speaker 2: the al Green sample one which.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah six sixteen in la.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I guess that one's only on Instagram, So
Speaker 2: maybe that's why that one's not going as crazy. But
Speaker 2: the most memorable moments for me was like Kendrick seeming
Speaker 2: to be like anticipating everything, like the bag of stuff
Speaker 2: that he had, Like he had a picture, yeah, bag
Speaker 2: prescriptions on it with like Drake's prescriptions for ozempic, which
Speaker 2: has been like a claim all along. Like it felt
Speaker 2: like there's this like it's it went from being like
Speaker 2: a you know, a fight movie or something you know,
Speaker 2: like a boxing movie or you're like, oh, to like
Speaker 2: starting to get the feeling that you're watching a horror movie. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like Kendrick was like wrapping from inside a closet in
Speaker 2: Drake's house right exactly, watching him sleep, Like it just
Speaker 2: felt like they were playing different games, and one Hendrick
Speaker 2: was winning in a way that was almost unnerving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm talking to your mom, I'm talking to your dad,
Speaker 1: and you're like you you fucked up terribly raising this child.
Speaker 1: It's kind of because rap Beef uses to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm better than you, like hear my numbers, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But now I mean that's what's that's what sort of
Speaker 1: makes it so charged on all these levels. Like with
Speaker 1: just like all of these allegations and that like fans
Speaker 1: being like you need to look into the death of
Speaker 1: Triple X dantusion, like it there's there, Drake was has
Speaker 1: something to do. There's so much other shit happening that
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's getting to a part like there's so
Speaker 1: much lore that I maybe I have time for. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I will say the production has also
Speaker 1: just been so some of these beats like this is
Speaker 1: produced like truly some some of like their most memorable
Speaker 1: work of like recent memories. So yeah, like I said,
Speaker 1: if you're I think for the neutrals, it's a lot
Speaker 1: easier to digest than people who are like a vested
Speaker 1: interest in being like I don't give a fuck, like
Speaker 1: what he's saying about Kendrick ronickive a fuck, what're hes
Speaker 1: saying about Drake, Like there's just you're just watching two
Speaker 1: people lyrical pugilists go back and forth. But I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: myself and many others are like I think Kendrick may
Speaker 1: have the edge sheer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Euphoria is the number one song still on the
Speaker 2: like Apple Music like top one hundred global, right, just
Speaker 2: like a marry like this is like a global event
Speaker 2: like do a Lipa dropped a new album on I
Speaker 2: think Friday there. Last week, Taylor Swift dropped an album
Speaker 2: like a week or two ago, and the top three
Speaker 2: songs are songs from this Beef. Well yeah, and they're
Speaker 2: and they're dark as fun.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy shit. Yeah. This is the other thing too,
Speaker 1: is like for how big Drake is, I don't I mean,
Speaker 1: unless like this there's like some real legal shit behind
Speaker 1: some of these allegations. I don't know like how this
Speaker 1: affects him really, We'll see, like next time he goes
Speaker 1: out in public or performs or puts an album out
Speaker 1: like how people respond. But I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: like for some people like who are just looking at
Speaker 1: it purely, like on the battle side, they're like, all right,
Speaker 1: well he's done, and I think he just Redany's realized
Speaker 1: his lane is just making party records. Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's that. But yeah, I mean, like also, his response
Speaker 1: to the Drake allegations is a little bit weird. He's like,
Speaker 1: he's like, if you think I was like abusing minors,
Speaker 1: like I'm pretty sure I'd be arrested for it by now,
Speaker 1: And you're like, yes, this is a weird. These are
Speaker 1: fucking wild ass rap versus. Yeah, but yeah, here we are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: We had the Tom Brady roast over the weekend. I
Speaker 2: just saw ads for it. I didn't I have yet
Speaker 2: to see any clips, but.
Speaker 1: Oh, man, Nicky Glazer fucking came for him. Dude, came
Speaker 1: for his soul, his spirit. She's like, oh, you've got
Speaker 1: how many how many super Bowl rings? Does you have? Seven?
Speaker 1: Do you think? I think so? He's like, well, now eight,
Speaker 1: now that Giselle gave you, like gave hers back to you.
Speaker 1: She's like she just had all these just kept hitting
Speaker 1: all these like failed marriage jokes. And then she's like,
Speaker 1: how did you get scammed on crypto? Like does everyone
Speaker 1: like making fun of him for that crypto shit? But yeah,
Speaker 1: like apparently from what I saw, Brady did an okay
Speaker 1: job at pretending to be a good like sport about it. Although,
Speaker 1: like then Jeff Ross made a joke that referenced Robert
Speaker 1: Kraft's pension for massage parlors, and Tom Brady did it
Speaker 1: up and got in his ear and said, don't say
Speaker 1: that shit again. Wow, And he was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I got it, Like and it's so weird. It's like
Speaker 1: you let other like I'm pretty sure Jeff Fross made
Speaker 1: a joke about his sister that he laughed about and
Speaker 1: he was like, but.
Speaker 2: No, not not Bobby Kraft, billionaire miles Yeah, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: who cares.
Speaker 1: That's right. That is very funny.
Speaker 2: That's like with Will Smith with Jada, like it seems
Speaker 2: like there might be some strain beneath the surface with
Speaker 2: a reaction like that where you're like, oh shit, Robert
Speaker 2: Kraft must have been not like in those jokes or
Speaker 2: super sensitive about that for sure. And then yeah, a
Speaker 2: billionaire team owner getting jacked off was like the line
Speaker 2: that yeah, for him, he didn't want anyone to cry.
Speaker 1: But like making cotton picking jokes to black comedians was look,
Speaker 1: this is the other thing too, right. Kim k was
Speaker 1: like booed to the point that like they kind of
Speaker 1: derailed her shit. And there are a lot of like
Speaker 1: just like black jokes from white comedians that just started
Speaker 1: feeling super old, like talking about like like fucking to somebody.
Speaker 1: Tony Hinchcliff I think was telling Kevin Hart about like, uh,
Speaker 1: like some some cotton picking joke that was just fucking
Speaker 1: so stupid, like and like those kinds of jokes from
Speaker 1: white comedians directed that black people are not funny. And
Speaker 1: I get that part of these roasts are too mercilessly
Speaker 1: fucking batter the guest of honor and the people on
Speaker 1: the dais, But some of the jokes are just like
Speaker 1: this chick had sex with black guys. Whoa and she's
Speaker 1: not black. Like it's like, I just don't think that shit.
Speaker 1: Like there are so many ways to fucking roast someone,
Speaker 1: but using like sexist racist tropes as like an engine
Speaker 1: for your comedy is so twenty ten that I'm like, okay, whatever,
Speaker 1: like the hell for you? Like you can talk about
Speaker 1: his failed marriage, man, keep it in the fucking keep
Speaker 1: it in the ring.
Speaker 2: So Kim Kardashian was like on the dais and that,
Speaker 2: so that becomes like other people that you can hit
Speaker 2: with strays.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, people in the audience. Yeah, it's like if
Speaker 1: you're there and people know you're there, you're you know
Speaker 1: cause they know who's going to be there. That's how
Speaker 1: they prep for this, so right then they just go
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, just do their thing, do their thing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. Part of me is just
Speaker 1: like I don't know if like roasts like this are
Speaker 1: just feel dated in that sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, totally, Like they always have felt a little
Speaker 2: dated to me, like the I don't know the entire
Speaker 2: sensibility of them. Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1: Pam Anderson one was like so fucking violent. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: like it was just all people just like tearing her
Speaker 1: down for being in Playboy or like you know, like
Speaker 1: having sex with Tommy Lee or whatever. And it's just like,
Speaker 1: and I get it at the time, That's what it
Speaker 1: was like. In retrospect, You're like, what the fuck is
Speaker 1: this like just some weird like misogyny, racist release valve
Speaker 1: for comedians to go and just say shit that they
Speaker 1: normally can't do in their normal sets, or at least
Speaker 1: some probably doing their normal sets. Yeah, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: was just like all right, but yeah, the Tom Brady
Speaker 1: thing defending Robert Craft seemed to get a lot of
Speaker 1: attention because he really like like put his on his shoulder.
Speaker 2: Don't say that shit again, Okay, anybody made fun of
Speaker 2: him for the way like he made his son kiss
Speaker 2: him on the lips for like five seconds.
Speaker 1: I have from the clips I saw, I have not
Speaker 1: seen anything like that, but who knows. I mean, I
Speaker 1: couldn't bring myself to sit through an entire roast in
Speaker 1: the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Well, if I spent more time thinking about Rome, there'd
Speaker 2: probably be a bread and circus point to make about
Speaker 2: these two distractions that we have to basically watching what,
Speaker 2: like you said, like a school lunch room fight. It
Speaker 2: happened in between Kendrick and Drake and everybody making fun
Speaker 2: of the big man on campus, Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I I don't think about Rome enough to make
Speaker 2: that point. So take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 2: back and hit some other news stories. We'll be right back,
Speaker 2: and we're back, We're and let's see. Christy Nome's book
Speaker 2: has some more issues. So this last weekend, a Republican
Speaker 2: fundraiser she was scheduled to appear at was canceled due
Speaker 2: to numerous threats and or death threats.
Speaker 1: We think that's in response to the dog thing.
Speaker 2: But during an interview with Hannity, Noom tried to blame
Speaker 2: the backlash on the fake news media who put the
Speaker 2: worst spin on her story about gunning down a literal puppy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think her quote, Well, Sean, you know how the
Speaker 2: fake news works. They leave out some or most of
Speaker 2: the facts of a story, they put the worst spin
Speaker 2: on it. And that's what happened in this case. You
Speaker 2: literally described being like I had to fucking murk this puppy.
Speaker 2: I took them to the gravel pit, and then I
Speaker 2: shot a goat too. Yeah, Like, where was the spin
Speaker 2: on that? Yeah, sealed the deal with some goat's blood.
Speaker 1: It's your own, your own book.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But amazingly, that's not the only controversy to come out
Speaker 2: of this book that still hasn't been published. The book
Speaker 2: features a passage in which she describes meeting Kim Jong un,
Speaker 2: which experts were like, wait, what, how, No, when did
Speaker 2: you meet Kim Jong un?
Speaker 1: I did, and I was like, you better knock it off, buddy,
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm Christinom, I'm a junior congress person
Speaker 1: and I'm meeting you. Somehow.
Speaker 2: People were like, no, no, like Kim Jong um met
Speaker 2: with like the president, and that was a massive story,
Speaker 2: like when would she have met with him? And so
Speaker 2: a Notre Dame University expert on North Korea was asked
Speaker 2: to comment, and he said, I don't see any conceivable
Speaker 2: way that a single junior member of Congress without explicit
Speaker 2: escort from the US Gate Department and military would be
Speaker 2: meeting with a leader from North kore Yeah.
Speaker 1: This is so fucking stupid. I again, I just I
Speaker 1: like all of she she kind of I feel like she.
Speaker 1: I don't know how she explained it recently, she may
Speaker 1: have doubled down, but anyway, I like how in the book, right,
Speaker 1: she claims that Kim Jong u probably quote underestimated her
Speaker 1: because he had quote no clue about her quote experience
Speaker 1: staring down little tyrants because you know, I quote that's
Speaker 1: a parenthetical. I'd been a children's pastor after all. Cool.
Speaker 1: I love how that's so tidy, Like you're you're you're
Speaker 1: you're like sunning Kim jong un. You're like a tough talker.
Speaker 1: And also let him know I also killed her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: kids are assholes, but I also teach him about the
Speaker 1: love of Christ. So you know, conservatives, embrace me, Embrace me.
Speaker 1: When the fuck do you get off thinking you can
Speaker 1: just fire that kind of shit off in a biography
Speaker 1: when you're seriously thinking you're gonna be the vice or
Speaker 1: do you think you could be the vice president? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild.
Speaker 2: I do love that she's a youth pastor presumably has
Speaker 2: turned a baseball cap around backwards before addressing kids about
Speaker 2: you know, the value of being tough with disobedient dogs
Speaker 2: and presumably children. You know, right, I can't imagine she's
Speaker 2: more forgiving of children who fuck up and aren't useful
Speaker 2: in her hunting parties. R A spokesperson for Nicki Haley
Speaker 2: also denied like that there's a conversation described where like
Speaker 2: Nikki Haley's scared of her being like the new face
Speaker 2: of the Republican Party and so as a result of
Speaker 2: this reporting, a spokesperson for NOME said the book will
Speaker 2: be edited to change the two quote small errors like
Speaker 2: as if it was like misplaced commas, not just making
Speaker 2: up stuff that never happened and hoping that it wouldn't
Speaker 2: be caught type of deal.
Speaker 1: Rhal. Yes, so they're just small errors. Okay, so you
Speaker 1: holds like, again, I don't know, this is like if
Speaker 1: we lived in a sane world, this would be absolutely
Speaker 1: disqualifying from even being like in politics. But again it's
Speaker 1: all based on like self mythologizing, and she just flew
Speaker 1: a little too close to the fucking Kim Jong's sun
Speaker 1: on this one by saying like, yeah, I fucking I
Speaker 1: stared this motherfucker down like it was a heavyweight fucking
Speaker 1: title bout weigh in. Yeah, like you can't make That's
Speaker 1: what Like, It's so it's so upsetting to me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you think people are this fucking dumb? Yeah, spoilerttle Earth.
Speaker 1: They are, but they do. Fuck yeah, come on now,
Speaker 1: I might as well believe that Drake planted all that
Speaker 1: misinformation about his eleven year old daughter when there seems
Speaker 1: to be articles about it that align with the eleven
Speaker 1: year old part. But anyway, yeah, anyways.
Speaker 2: She's also suggesting that Biden's dog should be killed because
Speaker 2: I guess there're twenty four Secret Service people who've been
Speaker 2: bitten by the dog at this point, so she's trying
Speaker 2: to like get on the right side of dog killing.
Speaker 2: She's like the tripling down Jesus the Over the weekend
Speaker 2: the box office, The Fall Guy, Ryan Gosling's new movie
Speaker 2: debuted at number one with twenty eight point five million,
Speaker 2: which was under what people are expecting thirty thirty five
Speaker 2: And like this is the weekend where they would usually
Speaker 2: like drop a Marvel Studios movie, like the the end
Speaker 2: of The Galaxy, Volume three last year came out and
Speaker 2: hit one hundred and eighteen million. The year before that,
Speaker 2: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opened with one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty seven million.
Speaker 1: But the well is dry on that point. They fucked
Speaker 1: that one up. The milk's gone bad, folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just really by making more and shittier like
Speaker 2: Marvel movies or like think about the Jurassic Park franch
Speaker 2: Like people were so ready for that first one, the
Speaker 2: Jurassic World, and but it was just they just delivered
Speaker 2: more and worse movies like the it's this new model
Speaker 2: where like they get young promising filmmakers, but like filmmakers
Speaker 2: who can't say no to studios or like push back
Speaker 2: against studios, and so it's really just like movies made
Speaker 2: in the vision of like the marketing department, right, and
Speaker 2: it's it worked for a while, but eventually you just
Speaker 2: get these like diminishing returns.
Speaker 1: And now they're kind of they're.
Speaker 2: At a place where they're like, all right, what was
Speaker 2: the last blockbuster Barbie?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Okay, so Ryan Gosling movies, right, gonbre like big yeah,
Speaker 2: big hit.
Speaker 1: Well because no one you know, it's the lack of
Speaker 1: creative courage in studios at the moment, it is just
Speaker 1: it's glaring, and to me, I feel like, as a strategy,
Speaker 1: you know, why put all of your money into these
Speaker 1: huge tent pole swings that are like hundreds of millions,
Speaker 1: like huge budget films when you could make, you know,
Speaker 1: turn turn that money into a bunch of smaller bets
Speaker 1: and empower other creators and tell new stories. Because watch,
Speaker 1: like there's always a movie that comes out and the
Speaker 1: shooters like, holy shit, that did well that one story.
Speaker 1: That's unlike all the other bullshit we've been pushing on people,
Speaker 1: right right, like just dabbling that rather than always fucking
Speaker 1: being like, what's our fucking big Golden Goose movie?
Speaker 2: What do we do?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: All right, a u N official is calling out Israel
Speaker 2: for denying AID access, So might as well get to
Speaker 2: the thing that uh, we're distracting ourselves from with all
Speaker 2: the bread.
Speaker 1: Nesher Potentially, I mean, as of this the time of
Speaker 1: this recording, it's there could be an incursion into Rafa, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it sounds like Israel has ordered gosins to evacuate
Speaker 1: part of Rafa for a quote limited operation. Right, So yeah,
Speaker 1: like with all the that's like, that's what's so wild,
Speaker 1: Like in the era we live in, Like even with
Speaker 1: all the other distractions and things that seem like frivil like,
Speaker 1: there are frivolous the most terrible shit is still going on.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know. It takes up a lot
Speaker 1: of our attention, as it should because it shouldn't be
Speaker 1: fucking happening. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The head of the u n RWA has accused Israel
Speaker 2: of continuing to deny the un AID access in Gaza
Speaker 2: as it tries to avert famine. He said that in
Speaker 2: the past two weeks alone, there have been ten incidents
Speaker 2: involving shooting at convoys or rest of un staff, including bullying,
Speaker 2: stripping them, naked threats with arms, and long delays at
Speaker 2: checkpoints forcing convoys to move during the dark or abart.
Speaker 2: And yeah, this is all happening as the Israeli Defense
Speaker 2: Minister is threatening an attack on Rafa, which would have
Speaker 2: absolutely devastating consequences for eight operations, put hundreds of thousands
Speaker 2: of lives at risk. Thousands of people have already begun
Speaker 2: to the city. And is the place that they said, hey,
Speaker 2: go to safety in Ratha. Yes, this is the place
Speaker 2: where people were able to go to when they were
Speaker 2: destroying the rest of Gaza, and now they're going to
Speaker 2: attack that place, and they're sending them to so called
Speaker 2: humanitarian zone of al mowassee, where the crisis will obviously
Speaker 2: be exacerbated and where aid is desperately needed for you know, civilians,
Speaker 2: children who are don't have any way to get food
Speaker 2: to survive, and as mentioned, the UNRWA is saying that
Speaker 2: Israeli forces are not letting them get that aid in Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is all.
Speaker 1: Too while, Like there's still really fucking bad coverage of
Speaker 1: the student protests, and like the always sort of like
Speaker 1: linking these student protests to some kind of thing about
Speaker 1: like an anti semitism that has happened at the protests.
Speaker 1: And I had an interesting exchange with a listener who's
Speaker 1: Palestinian and pointed out how like this is this is
Speaker 1: definitely like a sort of reflexive habit that I've developed
Speaker 1: over talking about this issue is to sort of have
Speaker 1: this preamble about like and it's not anti semitism to
Speaker 1: be you know, protesting the acts of like the government,
Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with the religion, but realizing
Speaker 1: that even doing that is just creating an association of
Speaker 1: anti Semitism with whatever is pro Palestinian, which I think
Speaker 1: is really it's terrible, and it's I think it's like
Speaker 1: a very it's a rhetorical thing that's happened that I
Speaker 1: realize now that's exactly what happened in twenty twenty with
Speaker 1: the defund movement, that the defund the police thing became.
Speaker 1: There was such a repetition of like, so you just
Speaker 1: don't want police to exist, so police just shouldn't exist,
Speaker 1: and then there's there's just gonna be free crime everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's like, that's not what we're talking about. We're talking
Speaker 1: about the fact that we are we are underfunding the
Speaker 1: kind of programs that help stabilize communities. Just like when
Speaker 1: people say they're here to advocate for the freedom of
Speaker 1: Palestinian people, it's not to say it's because I have
Speaker 1: some kind of anti Semitic worldview. It's because we're talking
Speaker 1: about a group of people that are being oppressed and
Speaker 1: our munitions. Because I also found out that those seven
Speaker 1: aid workers that were killed that were like international aid
Speaker 1: workers according to the Guardian, that was with American munitions,
Speaker 1: and that this situation is so much bigger than just
Speaker 1: getting stuck on this narrow thing about well what about
Speaker 1: these people what they're saying, these outliers to a protest,
Speaker 1: because the main thrust of this is that we need
Speaker 1: a ceasefire and we need lasting peace, and we need
Speaker 1: to actually sort this out, and the United States needs
Speaker 1: to use its leverage to bring about this change. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, I think Columbia is now
Speaker 1: canceling their graduation also at least like a school wide graduation,
Speaker 1: And you know, I was reading an interesting point. I mean,
Speaker 1: like these kid's, like a lot of these kids are
Speaker 1: the kids who didn't have graduations in twenty twenty, right
Speaker 1: and are now college Yeah, yeah because of COVID and
Speaker 1: are now because of the like the like these solidarity encampments.
Speaker 1: They're being punished now by not even having graduations. Again.
Speaker 1: It's just a very yeah, it's like the fucking Politico
Speaker 1: it just did a thing of They're like, look, oh,
Speaker 1: look who's funding all these like campus and like protests.
Speaker 1: It's not. And they're like pointing the finger at these
Speaker 1: like democratic donors like the Rockefeller Foundation or like George
Speaker 1: like like Soros Foundation kind of thing and being like Oh,
Speaker 1: that's kind of weird. And then I'm like, if you
Speaker 1: just took a second in your reporting to talk about
Speaker 1: how this well, this conflict and the United States hand
Speaker 1: in a bet aiding and abetting it is wildly unpopular
Speaker 1: with Democrats, right, that shouldn't come. And again you want
Speaker 1: to talk about like the funding from these groups and
Speaker 1: like there's grants and subgrants and things like that. A
Speaker 1: lot of people who were speaking on behalf of these
Speaker 1: things are like, yeah, this is sort of the non
Speaker 1: part is in nature of getting into these like in
Speaker 1: this kind of grant work. Sometimes these things are in
Speaker 1: an alignment with a political party or an administration, and
Speaker 1: sometimes they conflict in this instance. But again, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's that it shouldn't be that much of a
Speaker 1: surprise when the overarching sentiment, even among Democrats is that
Speaker 1: this needs.
Speaker 2: To stop, right all right, well, keeping with our shows
Speaker 2: trademark hurdling change of pace, But something that's happening in
Speaker 2: New York City, not far from the Columbia protests, the
Speaker 2: met Gala is going to happen tonight, and the whole
Speaker 2: thing was nearly upended by a strike that was narrowly
Speaker 2: avoided by a tentative deal those reached Sunday night, but
Speaker 2: on a win tour who oversees the event is apologizing
Speaker 2: for the confused theme. Not anything to do with like
Speaker 2: labor practices or anything.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I think if anything, she's pissed
Speaker 1: that those the workers knew that they had a they
Speaker 1: had leverage. Yeah, to be exactly, who do you think
Speaker 1: posts all the fucking memes in red carpet coverage that
Speaker 1: goes on the internet, These people who are yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 2: The name of the event is Sleeping Beauties, but the
Speaker 2: official dress code is Garden of Time, which those kind
Speaker 2: of seem unrelated. But it's just something Winter basically said
Speaker 2: one day without much thought and seems to have caused
Speaker 2: a lot of confusion. I personally am hoping that someone
Speaker 2: wears like a Scrooge style sleeping cap, like one of
Speaker 2: those like long sleeping bonnets, with like a long sleeping
Speaker 2: gown and is just like holding a candle and that's
Speaker 2: their interpretation of Sleeping Beauties, because that is my favorite
Speaker 2: iconic sleeping look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I try and mimic every night. Yeah, when you
Speaker 1: put that luscious blonde wig on, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: I'm a sleeping beauty, now leave me alone. I like
Speaker 1: how this is really just born out of the fact
Speaker 1: that Annah Wintor has so much fucking power, and no
Speaker 1: one questions her that she said conflicting things and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: just go with it. Sleeping Beauty is a Garden of Time.
Speaker 2: But she also did, like a drive by on a
Speaker 2: random employee, like to just be like, yeah, actually it
Speaker 2: was this guy's idea, so and I fear that it's
Speaker 2: stupid as hell, so I apologize. Her quote is the
Speaker 2: exhibition broke my cardinal rule when we came up with
Speaker 2: the title sleeping Beauties. It's wonderful and poetic and romantic,
Speaker 2: but actually it could mean many things. And then so
Speaker 2: she shared that she went to the Metropolitan Museum of
Speaker 2: Arts Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton for dress code advice.
Speaker 2: I said, what are we going to say to people
Speaker 2: to wear to this night? And he said, well, what
Speaker 2: about Garden of Time? So I fear that we've unleashed
Speaker 2: a lot of confusion out there, and for which I
Speaker 2: deeply apologize. Okay, but she was basically like, it was
Speaker 2: this fucking guy's idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking calling out names. You know, Andrew Bolton's whoa
Speaker 1: whoa whoa easy easy damn man. Yeah, well good, I
Speaker 1: I remember when this kind of mattered. But yeah, given
Speaker 1: given what's happening, it's like, yeah, go ahead, get up
Speaker 1: in your fancy fucking dress, party and high five each other.
Speaker 1: Have a good time.
Speaker 2: She admits that in reality, Garden of Time will probably
Speaker 2: just end up being people wearing quote a lot of
Speaker 2: flowers like that is just preactively like shitting on this
Speaker 2: probably fifty of the outfit based on the theme that
Speaker 2: she put out right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, well, uh, shout out to all unionizing workers everywhere.
Speaker 1: May you may fair contracts find their way to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. But yeah, damn that fucking shows
Speaker 1: you man, a strike, that's yeah, that got him realizing
Speaker 1: shit real quick. It's just because there were the remaining
Speaker 1: issues from that fair contract was minimum salaries, healthcare coverage
Speaker 1: for trans staffers, and layoffs. Yeah, and then they figured
Speaker 1: it out the last second, at least a provisional agreement.
Speaker 2: So yeah, credit did not want to strike right before
Speaker 2: the Macyala it turned out all right. Those are some
Speaker 2: of the things that are trending on this Monday morning, Maysick.
Speaker 2: We are back tomorrow with a whole aast episode of
Speaker 2: the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
Speaker 2: kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
Speaker 2: white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Bye bye,
