1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Music of the Zeiss and told that is a phantom

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: of the opera reference. I'm Jack O'Brien. That's Miles gray Um.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: And here is what is trending this Wednesday afternoon. Thunder Peach, I,

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: who is the Alphabet CEO, Google's parent company, was the

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: unlucky winner of the which tex ceo is going to

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: be trending at the end of their grilling on uh

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: Congress floor. And I think it was just he did

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: the least convincing job of defending Alphabet and Google against

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: accusations that were being leveled against them, which are basically

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: that they're a monopoly. It seems like monopoly is an

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: old enough concept that Congress can get their mind around it.

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: They don't need They can't just have young young zuck

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: uh like walking circles around them making fun of them

15
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: for not knowing that they're in ad support of business. Yeah,

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: they're like you have of the search engine market, Like

17
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: that's yeah, but that's just because like we're the best,

18
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: you know. It's like, I don't know, what don't we

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: do like to turn people away? It's like shit, And

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: they have overt of digital that's so fucked up and frightening, like,

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: and then Facebook has fifty three or so together they have,

22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: uh like, over half of just two companies have over

23
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: half of all dollars spent online marketing wise, which is

24
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: funny because if there are like, you know, I'm not

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: sure how much of the antitrust language, it's funny because

26
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Republicans will deploy that language because they don't like that.

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: They'll take down like diamond and silk like misinformation posts

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: and videos and be like it's it's suppressionative freedom SPI

29
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. But at the same time, like if they

30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: wander into that, it's like, okay, so let me get

31
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: this rate. You think it's immoral for a small group

32
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: of let's say, let's say people, to make it simple,

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: a small group of people to own like, you know,

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: whole sections of the economy or a market or or

35
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: an industry. Right, okay, So then let's now look at

36
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: our taxes. Can we keep that same energy now, same

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: focus here? Now let's look over here where these like

38
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: fifteen families are running the board right now? Is that

39
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: also okay? Or alright? I lost you, I lost you

40
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: with the monopolies paid zero dollars in Texas last year

41
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: billion dollars in profits. But we're only like three of

42
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: the global consumer game. And it's like, okay, interest, nice, defense,

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: suck or Bezos or whatever. The It was funny even

44
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: the build up when they're like it sounded like the

45
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: like like Watchmen or some ship because like, and the

46
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: world's richest man Jeff Bezos will also be testifying in

47
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: front of Congress today and I'm like, just having that

48
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: descriptor it was like so jarring, like but said so

49
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: seriously on the news, and you're like, right, the world's

50
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: richest man ever goes to town. Right, It's really we

51
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: live in such a such a dystopia, it's wild. Um

52
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: succession is trending. Uh, Matthew mcfaden, is that his name?

53
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Tom guy who plays Tom who is British. I'm I'm

54
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: told who's really taking our jobs? Yeah? I was up

55
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: for that role. And uh, I know, I remember you

56
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: were really get past people not calling me jam. People

57
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: don't realize this was maybe the first within the first

58
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: year of us doing this show. I think people thought

59
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: you were going to like New Jersey for a family thing,

60
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: but really you were grinding on the like acting lab

61
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: like reading books, work on your accent, work. You bought

62
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: new boat shoes just for the audition. I was like,

63
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to see your feet, and

64
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: you got really upset and I was like, okay, fine,

65
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: get the new boats shoes. But yeah, yeah, it was

66
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: my My final demand was that they changed the character's

67
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: name to Jack because every time they called me Tom,

68
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: I just couldn't remember to look uh, and they wouldn't.

69
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: They wouldn't do it. Oh yeah, like you should not

70
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: be acting sir. All right, It's National Chicken wing Day.

00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: a wing. Stop anythinking about wings. Now it's National chicken

76
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: wing Day. People are still acting as if drums are

77
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: worth eating. I mean, yeah, they're fine, but it's the flat.

78
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Big conversation with the mrs yesterday she was I realized

79
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: that she was eating all the drums. I was like,

80
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, although I do think that you changed

81
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: my thinking on that. I think I, uh, you taught

82
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: me why flats are better, and I have, and you

83
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: gained an appreciation, and and just out of reciprocity, I

84
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: will I taught you that because you taught me that

85
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: I need to wash my legs. I didn't realize, so

86
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: thank you. Isn't that a white person thing? That white

87
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: people don't watch their legs started like down on the internet,

88
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: and then people who listen to four D Fiance I

89
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: have a bit going where some people are actually convinced

90
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't wash my legs because I'm never lying about it,

91
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: because I'm just like, well, the water gets down there.

92
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: So it's like the issue exactly what okay, do you

93
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: wash your dishes after you take them out of the dishwasher.

94
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: It's like, does it makes sense? It's getting the soapy

95
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: water in there, that's right. Stand By suburbs are trending

96
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: the story about Trump just you know, I mean, we're

97
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: not dog whistling as a description of what he does,

98
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: and he's just be thrown away just telling people, uh,

99
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: he's running on the promise of upholding redlining essentially, and

100
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: don't worry. It's like I won't burden you, as some

101
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: language used of like you won't be bothered by low

102
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: income housing no more. You shall be set free of

103
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: the scourge of people that our government has failed to

104
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: keep afloat. So yeah, yeah, it's a yeah, it's not

105
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: dog whistling. It's it's it's like reminding me of like

106
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: that one Simpson's bit was like old man yells at

107
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: cloud like or something about Grandpa Simpson's it's like or

108
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: old man yells. It's like, that's what this is, like,

109
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: senile racist talking on TV. Again, he's got an audience

110
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: who also happens to be president. So I've seen how

111
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: racist president uh man with entirely too much power at

112
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: his fingertips in control. Uh, what do we do? And

113
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: then Starbucks is trending. People think this might be it

114
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: for Starbucks. There's an article that they were at a

115
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: drop in sales, uh in whatever the last quarter was

116
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: that they reported. People think that, you know, they're just

117
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: seeing nobody wants to sit in common areas. And you know,

118
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: also people aren't picking, like, aren't driving to work, they're

119
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: working from home. So there's not like, you know, we're

120
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: we're learning how to make our own coffee. Um, And yeah,

121
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: it does seem like I don't know why you go

122
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: to Starbucks at this point, right, because it was like

123
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: people use it to punctuate their healthscape of a work day.

124
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: That's like, dude, I cannot be in this fucking office.

125
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to get coffee, pizza, whatever that thing is

126
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: relative to your office that you go to be Like,

127
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: we gotta get the funk out of here for like

128
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. It's our smoke break now that we've learned

129
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: smoking kills you, right, so now we'll just triples destroy

130
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: our hearts. Um the thing. Yeah, but is it the

131
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: I also I think they'll be safe purely because I

132
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: see so many people clinging to that habitual trip to

133
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: the Starbucks, still months into locking down. Somewhat interesting because

134
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: there a few drive through Starbucks I live by, and

135
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: they're always it's always going on, it's just going down. Yeah,

136
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: the drive through is for sure. But I guess that's it.

137
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: I guess they've converted. I guess they've converted a bunch

138
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: of their places to have drive throughs, um where where possible.

139
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: I the the article made the argument that, but then

140
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: like what's to set them apart? Starbucks like created the

141
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: communal workspace before we work, um, And yeah, I mean

142
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: I guess what My idea of Starbucks does not revolve

143
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: around it being a community hub. Their CEO claims it is.

144
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: It's a place you go for free WiFi, and you know,

145
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: on some unfortunate incidents, so they'll call the police on

146
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: you because your personal color, free WiFi, legal drugs. It's

147
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: not shocking that people are were fans for a while.

148
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think anytime you're looking at a product

149
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: that is an addictive drug, uh, it's it's usually you

150
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: can you can go along on that one. Yeah, well,

151
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: I guess maybe that's split to your point though. Empower yourself,

152
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: make your own home brew, you know what I mean,

153
