Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
Speaker 1: of Daily Guys. It's Monday, Monday morning, you know, Monday,
Speaker 1: late morning, early afternoon.
Speaker 2: Listening to it, I should have pointed this out, but
Speaker 2: the on I think Friday, it was the twentieth anniversary
Speaker 2: of the Dean Scream, which is the thing I do
Speaker 2: at the top of every show.
Speaker 3: What I go, it's I'm doing the Dean.
Speaker 2: Most people, I think have put that together by now,
Speaker 2: but that was twenty fucking years ago. The thing that
Speaker 2: ruined a fucking campaign where a guy was like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: universal here like.
Speaker 1: Let's do some orange people against progressive politics for a generation.
Speaker 3: Uh, we will fucking destroy it. Did you hear that
Speaker 3: fucking asshole? You hear what he sounds like? He said,
Speaker 3: we're going.
Speaker 1: It was like a bad take of a w W
Speaker 1: E wrestler one memory.
Speaker 3: He was like, sorry, I got I got choked up
Speaker 3: there for a single. It was actually, could I take
Speaker 3: that out again? I need to let me get down
Speaker 3: in here, my register, dude, I just have just one
Speaker 3: time for posterity. Not only are we going to.
Speaker 2: New Hampshire, imking, We're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: Arizona and North Dakota. Come on, baby, we're going to California,
Speaker 3: in Texas and New York.
Speaker 4: We're going to South Dakota and.
Speaker 2: Oregon and Washington, Michigan, and then we're going to Washington,
Speaker 2: DC to take back the White House. Our ip to
Speaker 2: that r ip to that guy that was just after
Speaker 2: placing third in Iowa.
Speaker 1: Sh third in Iowa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So he was
Speaker 1: like a front runner in the polling heading into the
Speaker 1: primary season, had a bad Iowa. Many campaigns have recovered
Speaker 1: from that. His did not, not thanks to the Dean's.
Speaker 3: Cream scream anyway.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, it is like we we've covered before,
Speaker 1: how you know the media really First of all, you
Speaker 1: have to like isolate the audio, so like wait, when
Speaker 1: you hear it with the crowd, like in the room,
Speaker 1: nobody thought anything was weird. If you just have the
Speaker 1: you know, both sounds playing, it doesn't really sound that weird.
Speaker 1: But when you have because people are screaming like he is.
Speaker 1: But when you just isolate only his audio and like
Speaker 1: dead to the background noise, it sounds unhinged.
Speaker 5: Especially kids, Hey, I get it, and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 5: this guy's get him, get him out.
Speaker 1: Of here. It is the weekend of Get Him out
Speaker 1: of Here. Yeah, we will be talking about meatball, ron
Speaker 1: rob whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. But before we get to the events of
Speaker 3: the weekend.
Speaker 1: This is the this is the Trending Monday Morning Trending
Speaker 1: episode where we tell you what was trending over the weekend,
Speaker 1: But first we tell.
Speaker 3: You what's trending with us, what's going in our lives.
Speaker 1: By doing an overrated underrated, I can kick us off
Speaker 1: with my over rated the delete and report spam function
Speaker 1: on I message on my phone, I clicked on a
Speaker 1: single Nikki Haley text. I don't know how she got
Speaker 1: my number, and that's what I was going to ask her.
Speaker 1: That's why I clicked on it. Now, I clicked up because, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was like a well crafted cliffhanger
Speaker 1: of a like here's how we're gonna beat Trump. And
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm a little curious, like what her
Speaker 1: campaign is messaging to her supporters at this moment.
Speaker 3: And I had faith.
Speaker 1: It turns out misplaced in the delete and report spam
Speaker 1: function on my you know, end messages because I clicked
Speaker 1: on that one message and learned nothing. Of course, you know,
Speaker 1: Steward's curiosity is also over it. And now Nikki Haley
Speaker 1: is just in my life. She's like a person who
Speaker 1: texts me on a regular basis, like even though every
Speaker 1: single time I delete and report spam. It's yeah, we
Speaker 1: have a relationship, a partnership. She baicually told me that
Speaker 1: she thinks I would be a good member of her campaign.
Speaker 3: I think John, hold on, my friends, John, you're doing
Speaker 3: so good, buddy. Yeah, I think you'd be great fit
Speaker 3: for our team. John.
Speaker 1: Can you take a look now with the link off
Speaker 1: to Nikki twenty four which.
Speaker 3: Is exciting and flattering.
Speaker 1: Believe me, I I checked on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you guys are you guys are so close
Speaker 2: that you're on a first name basis of a name
Speaker 2: you don't use.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyways, uh yeah, I don't know. Maybe they've
Speaker 1: like bought their way out of that function applying to
Speaker 1: them or something, but it is not working.
Speaker 2: I suspect it's just that number and then they that
Speaker 2: number just gets burned and then they still have your number,
Speaker 2: and then they just they just hit you with a
Speaker 2: text from a new number. Because every day, dude, like
Speaker 2: I've said before, my mom has given the Democrats my
Speaker 2: number as hers, so I get all of her fucking
Speaker 2: fundraising texts and they get it. They're so desperate. Like
Speaker 2: it's to the point where I'm like, oh shit, Trump's
Speaker 2: gonna win. If the tone of these texts are like
Speaker 2: fucking please, yeah, everybody, no one wants to stop Trump.
Speaker 2: We will match your donation four hundred percent if you
Speaker 2: send something in the next twenty minutes. It doesn't build
Speaker 2: great confidence within me. So I'm like, they're freaking me
Speaker 2: out a little bit. So yeah, please, let's let's at
Speaker 2: least have a more positive notec Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your what's You're overrated? Uh?
Speaker 2: I think just if this isn't new or whatever or novel,
Speaker 2: but just going out is becoming overrated in my mind.
Speaker 2: Aside from being really into dreams again and having them,
Speaker 2: uh and also buying a long cross body strap for
Speaker 2: my cell phone.
Speaker 3: Being Japan has changed me in other ways too. Just
Speaker 3: just you know what a long cross body strap. This
Speaker 3: strap right here, bro oh school like this goes around
Speaker 3: your head, goes around my name. I could be in
Speaker 3: the kitchen doing work. Oh, I got to check my
Speaker 3: phone really quick. Oh boom, wear phone like a bandolier.
Speaker 2: You got a baby on you. But you don't want
Speaker 2: to put it that shit in your pockets. You can
Speaker 2: just have that shit dangling. I also leave my phone
Speaker 2: on the table a lot in places and then forget
Speaker 2: about it. But it's got this big ass rope on it.
Speaker 2: Now there's no way I can miss it anyway. The
Speaker 2: other bullets are called the go crossbody Bandolier. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, like in like a like platoon style or
Speaker 2: like like Poncho villa, kind of like Mexican revolution sort
Speaker 2: of vima.
Speaker 3: I guess that's what they call it.
Speaker 1: That I typed in Bandelier to make sure I had
Speaker 1: the word right, And it's that Bandolier phone case was
Speaker 1: the first thing that popped up.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, where you can put a bunch of little
Speaker 3: phones in it too, one phone and then a bunch
Speaker 3: of little bunge of it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a bunch of Nokia thirty three nineties, a
Speaker 2: bunch of air pods.
Speaker 3: It's so many, dude, I lose him so much.
Speaker 2: I'm like dude in BTS who lost like forty pairs already.
Speaker 2: But anyway, the thing that I also is like it's
Speaker 2: just changed the way I look at going out like
Speaker 2: I love to eat, especially things that I don't normally
Speaker 2: cook for myself or cannot cook for myself, or or
Speaker 2: incapable of cooking myself. But again, that shit isn't getting
Speaker 2: It's like so comparatively, like when I went to Japan,
Speaker 2: I was eating my like stomach till it rips, open
Speaker 2: amounts of sushi and having a few beers and I
Speaker 2: was still walking out there paying for her majesty and
Speaker 2: I for around fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like seven gluttony on that ass.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the people who are running the sushi
Speaker 2: place were part of a Wu Tang Interlude treat the
Speaker 2: way they just kept feeding you and feeding you and
Speaker 2: feeding you, okay, And so half the time I would
Speaker 2: look at things and I'm like, god, damn it, like
Speaker 2: I FuG to fucking subway, Like that's half of what
Speaker 2: this shit costs if I got a foot long and
Speaker 2: I added.
Speaker 3: Bacon, you know.
Speaker 2: And so that's definitely like radicalized me a bit. And
Speaker 2: also like just seeing like pretty much everywhere except the
Speaker 2: United States, being able to eat and drink socially outside
Speaker 2: of the home is seen as something that isn't cost
Speaker 2: prohibitive to do every now and then, So here.
Speaker 3: Is is it completely?
Speaker 2: There's like such a barrier to entry with in terms
Speaker 2: of cost, Like so now I've been cooking more and
Speaker 2: more at home, and I've been embracing like that part
Speaker 2: of it to a just be like this is actually
Speaker 2: typically less cost less of a cost for me. But
Speaker 2: also trying to bring back this thing that I used
Speaker 2: to do with my friends called supper club, where it
Speaker 2: was like me and a group of my friends, like
Speaker 2: six of us. We decided on a cuisine or theme
Speaker 2: every month and we all would contribute a dish to
Speaker 2: basically make like a five course meal pot.
Speaker 3: Luck kind of thing. But it wasn't like bring a
Speaker 3: cast role.
Speaker 2: It's like, no, this week we're doing fucking Italian, or
Speaker 2: this week we're doing Americana, or this week we're doing
Speaker 2: Fusion or something.
Speaker 3: And then it was an easy way to like.
Speaker 2: Socialize and share like the shit that you've made and
Speaker 2: like just begin talking without going to a restaurant. Because
Speaker 2: have you seen the prices out there, especially play these
Speaker 2: priceless folks everything twenty bucks?
Speaker 3: It's really bad. Yeah, so what why if this is
Speaker 3: just an.
Speaker 1: Unavoidable fact of the market. Why isn't there massive inflation
Speaker 1: in Japan? I don't get it, but what's happening?
Speaker 2: Those are completely different sets of the way the economy
Speaker 2: is run there is it's a pretty unique situation. I'll
Speaker 2: I could get into the specifics of it, but I
Speaker 2: would have to read up more. But there's also I mean, like,
Speaker 2: but wages also haven't gone up either, Like it's like
Speaker 2: sort of frozen in time. Ah, So it's a bit
Speaker 2: of a Yeah, it's not like the most ideal situation either,
Speaker 2: And I'm sure other people could explain that better than me.
Speaker 1: You're not prepared to just give me a micro and
Speaker 1: macro economic.
Speaker 2: No, And I wish this was the Bloomberg Economy Finance Hour.
Speaker 2: But I'm a guy who's just barely starting to dream again.
Speaker 1: So don't you just a guy standing here barely starting
Speaker 1: to dream again?
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's my analysis of the Japanese economy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mine kind of relates to that because I've been
Speaker 1: cooking more. I think everybody's just been cooking more because
Speaker 1: fucking going out to eat is cost prohibit at this point,
Speaker 1: especially in LA Like you said, time estimates for recipes
Speaker 1: is my underrated. Like literally they are underrating the amount
Speaker 1: of time that it is going to take me to
Speaker 1: accomplish these recipes.
Speaker 3: I'm slow in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'm not like a focused chef, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like cooking and like doing other stuff. And but like,
Speaker 1: so this weekend we did a recipe where they hit
Speaker 1: twenty minutes in in the recipe of they just assumed
Speaker 1: that you had cooked rice already, like they were like, okay,
Speaker 1: and then the next step is take the cooked rice
Speaker 1: that I was like, what the that that was not
Speaker 1: a yeah? But anyway, I like they I feel like
Speaker 1: they're fucking with me or I feel like I'm just
Speaker 1: really flow. And then I also I saw a New
Speaker 1: York Times recipe one of the few things I can
Speaker 1: make is a bowling aase. Oh yeah, that is from
Speaker 1: a like do you remember that old magazine Real Simple? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is all These are just like real simple, like
Speaker 1: life hacks basically. So I got a bowling ace recipe
Speaker 1: out of that that it is estimated at like fifty minutes,
Speaker 1: takes me three hours every time, doesn't get any faster.
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I'll get this down a slope.
Speaker 1: But then I got a like an alert an alert
Speaker 1: from a New York Times recipe this weekend. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a bowling ase, it's gonna take you four
Speaker 1: to five hours. I was like, whoa, Yeah, somebody decided
Speaker 1: to like be honest about the recipes like how long
Speaker 1: they take.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's truly underrated or if it's
Speaker 1: just underrated for me, but the recipe timing feels like
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: It it's it's like done in a way that it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: if you cook like a fucking person who's on top
Speaker 2: of their shit, like if you have you know, if
Speaker 2: you do Sometimes it'll say like if the prep work
Speaker 2: is included, or it's just the prep work or just
Speaker 2: a cook time, because if you're not quick on the
Speaker 2: knives or other things, it can take you a while
Speaker 2: to chop up a bunch of or like peel and
Speaker 2: chop things, or you know, get like all of your
Speaker 2: ingredients set. So yeah, I can see like if you're
Speaker 2: doing it where it's like as if you have everything
Speaker 2: ready mes on boss, you know that it's boom boom
Speaker 2: boom boom boom boom boom boom. But if it's like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, that's right, I gotta make the rights hold on.
Speaker 2: Let me fucking take this shit off the fire. Okay,
Speaker 2: I got to chop this. I should have done this
Speaker 2: before yet me it takes three hour second. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: I don't know. I am not a precision watch in
Speaker 2: the in the kitchen.
Speaker 3: Sure. So, uh, what is something that you think is underrated? Underrated?
Speaker 2: I think is just how much generative AI is already
Speaker 2: in the content that we're that is around us. Like
Speaker 2: I know that people are toying with it and tinkering
Speaker 2: with it, and every now and then we get these
Speaker 2: like doctorate images that are passed off as news. But
Speaker 2: like I'm starting to see more and more AI generated thumbnails,
Speaker 2: especially like I've seen it on like basically like those
Speaker 2: like Twitter spam that are meant to make like look
Speaker 2: like news kind of like clickbait sort of yeah, total.
Speaker 1: Bullshit promotion, uh, like little tag off of those posts now.
Speaker 2: Right exactly, And then there's now but like especially on
Speaker 2: YouTube thumbnails for like controversial topics like immigration, like I
Speaker 2: saw and that was.
Speaker 3: Like immigrants come to NYC.
Speaker 2: It begins kind of like weird thumb like headline and
Speaker 2: on it they like this was clearly a mid journey
Speaker 2: image because like when you zoom in, you're like, okay,
Speaker 2: that's sign isn't even in English, And that person's backpack
Speaker 2: has like five straps on the shoulders but.
Speaker 3: Like they but from Afar.
Speaker 2: When you just look like it, it could seemingly pass
Speaker 2: as an image that like if people in New York
Speaker 2: are protesting immigrants, like it was Montgomery integrating their public schools.
Speaker 3: Right like yeah.
Speaker 2: Like Mayhem around a bus and being like to just
Speaker 2: sort of paint this image as if people are behaving
Speaker 2: this way in New York. It's just a very subtle
Speaker 2: thing that I'm seeing more and more, especially on these
Speaker 2: sort of like political take a sphere kind of you know,
Speaker 2: shit chatting YouTube channels.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can use.
Speaker 2: Like a thumbnail to seemingly make it look like X,
Speaker 2: Y or Z is happening, just to sell you on
Speaker 2: the idea. But it's very powerful because it took me
Speaker 2: a second be like what fucking protest was this in
Speaker 2: New York? And then you have to like look close
Speaker 2: and you're like, okay, there's this is fucking mid journey
Speaker 2: or whatever another generative AI. So something that I've just
Speaker 2: been really noticing and before I thought it would be
Speaker 2: like it would be announced with more fanfare, but no,
Speaker 2: it's just like it's a trickling sphere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the main Like, the the ease with
Speaker 1: which people can just like create dum bullshit images and
Speaker 1: the cloning of voices are the two main things that
Speaker 1: feel like they've like are going to substantively impact what
Speaker 1: the world is like. I mean, the Internet has been broken,
Speaker 1: but it does feel like the Internet, like the idea
Speaker 1: of truth on the Internet. A lot, a lot of
Speaker 1: the people who are on top.
Speaker 3: Of that have just given up at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're basically yeah, we're driving on Rainbow Road and
Speaker 2: Mario Kart. It looks really cool, but like there's no
Speaker 2: guardrails on this fucking thing. Like you can just go
Speaker 2: right off the side. And that's on you, asshole, because
Speaker 2: you chose this course. It's Rainbow Road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that seems to be the message.
Speaker 1: All Right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about Rondo Santists.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back, and we're back and.
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis UH has dropped out of the Republican presidential
Speaker 1: primary immediately gone back to his comfort zone of kissing
Speaker 1: Trump directly on the center of his asshole. He you know,
Speaker 1: in the same breath, dropped out and was like and
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm endorsing Donald Trump be president.
Speaker 3: Okay, cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was just like so uncomfortable, like trying to
Speaker 1: run for president, like.
Speaker 2: He had he probably had stress diarrhea. When like when
Speaker 2: Politico started analyzing his boots, It's like, oh, they're on
Speaker 2: to me, Casey.
Speaker 1: I think he's had stressed diarrhea the entire time that
Speaker 1: he's been a public figure. Like, I've never seen somebody
Speaker 1: be more uncomfortable in the spotlight. He just like gives
Speaker 1: the unspoken assurance that he is suffering from IBS at
Speaker 1: all times.
Speaker 3: I Yeah, I hate that.
Speaker 2: How awkward he is somehow makes me feel like I'm
Speaker 2: like relieved for him, and.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, he's out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like that's probably better for you, man, you know,
Speaker 2: And like I hate that. I'm like, oh, it's okay, Rob, Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you tried it, and you you had this whole
Speaker 2: fucking fake ass, tough guy act and it just it
Speaker 2: didn't work because everyone can tell your meatball Rob old
Speaker 2: pudden fingers.
Speaker 3: The old pudding fingers, meatball Rob.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just something that to do with like the
Speaker 1: mirror neurons in our brain where it's just like God,
Speaker 1: I just want to make it stop. I don't want
Speaker 1: to see another human be that's uncomfortable and inauthentic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so many, so many moments, so many highlights from the
Speaker 1: Like I feel like he averaged a Dean scream a week,
Speaker 1: but because the mainstream media had like kind of doubled
Speaker 1: down on him being the great hope, the great like
Speaker 1: non Trump hope for the Republican Party, right, they you know,
Speaker 1: they didn't make a huge deal of it. You just
Speaker 1: kind of had to go seek it out. And you know,
Speaker 1: Twitter was great at highlighting all of the attempts at
Speaker 1: smiling and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a Dean scream per week was more like
Speaker 2: a dysantis smile or laugh per week, where everyone like, oh,
Speaker 2: look at this dude trying to fucking connect to other
Speaker 2: human beings, like oh wow, all right, I massage you're
Speaker 2: clavigal way to be affectionate, or just pat you're I'm
Speaker 2: gonna rub my nose and then wipe it on your sleeve.
Speaker 3: Somebody was always.
Speaker 1: Creating this human body like a puppet from the car,
Speaker 1: some alien creature.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I like how he really just said the
Speaker 2: whole thing, like the beginning of his whole like concession
Speaker 2: was sort of talking about how he was a badass.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, I'm sorry, is this a concession speech?
Speaker 2: But then when he goes, nobody worked harder and we
Speaker 2: left it all out on the field. Now, following our
Speaker 2: second place spinish in Iowa, we have prayed and deliberated
Speaker 2: on the way forward.
Speaker 3: And then it's like and I'm suspending the campaign.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you prayed on it, yep, And hey, we left
Speaker 2: it all out there on the field. Do you know,
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people have been talking about the
Speaker 2: amount of money that was spent.
Speaker 3: They say that.
Speaker 2: Like combined reporting of spending from his campaign and the
Speaker 2: never back down pack of fifty three million dollars, it
Speaker 2: means that basically that was an average of two two
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty three dollars for each vote that was
Speaker 2: cast for him, just to fucking peace out killed it?
Speaker 3: My man, he.
Speaker 2: Could he could have done better if he gave people
Speaker 2: without even advertising, just one thousand dollars, right, just cash?
Speaker 2: Hey been like yo, bro, yeah, what do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah? We good here.
Speaker 1: It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary
Speaker 1: voters want to give Donald Trump another chance.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: He has my endorsement because we can't go back to
Speaker 1: the old Republican guard of yesteryear, a repackaged form of
Speaker 1: warmed over corporatism that Nicky Haley represents. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, lay off my friend. Yeah, you motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Nicky Hilly and I are tight. Uh but yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just so wild, Like, you know, Trump was so dismissive
Speaker 1: of him, so humiliating.
Speaker 3: That's what like was so infuriating about the primary.
Speaker 2: We're like, who's this gonna go kind of softball on
Speaker 2: Trump the whole time because inevitably they're gonna have to
Speaker 2: fall in line and just be like yeah, and he's
Speaker 2: number one.
Speaker 3: God, we love him, He's number one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like for all the talk that he did,
Speaker 2: like when he was like all these people who want
Speaker 2: to kiss the ring of Trump.
Speaker 3: Then cut to him swallowing the ring and being like,
Speaker 3: I don't know you guy was talking about got the throat.
Speaker 3: Come on, dude, but hey, this is we expected nothing less.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people were speculating on it. It's just like a
Speaker 1: nice glimpse into the life of working with someone working
Speaker 1: in politics. People like he started canceling events and everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: so you're definitely stepping out of the race. They're like, no, no,
Speaker 1: he's uh, there's just a scheduling issue.
Speaker 3: So depressed.
Speaker 1: No, we're good, We're still good. He just has to
Speaker 1: like get ready for New Hampshire, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just focused on that guy who peed his
Speaker 2: pants and had to hurry into a stall to figure
Speaker 2: out what to do.
Speaker 3: Hey, you're right in there. What's going on? Nothing? Just uh,
Speaker 3: just scheduling something chilling, chilling, chilling.
Speaker 2: Okay, well we need you out here to to to
Speaker 2: do that way walk of those new pants that you're wearing. Yep,
Speaker 2: just one we'll be okay, just give me one second.
Speaker 2: Just scheduling something. That's It's not that I ruined the pants.
Speaker 1: I'm just didn't hear scheduling. What it's the all purpose
Speaker 1: just like doing business. Uh sorry, just have a schedule thing, right.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: That really is some weird corporate speak, like vague bullshit.
Speaker 2: Just some schedule, just a scheduling thing I gotta work
Speaker 2: out right now. Sorry, So one second, one second, one second.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had just like days earlier, been like everybody,
Speaker 1: he would uh endorse the most worthless Republican as long
Speaker 1: as they kissed the ring.
Speaker 3: And then he.
Speaker 1: Immediately went back to deep throating the ring.
Speaker 2: Oh well, the ring all it calls to us in
Speaker 2: different ways, you know, And for him, he just couldn't.
Speaker 2: He just had to back down, although he told people
Speaker 2: he would never back down. And but it's interesting because
Speaker 2: meanwhile Churchill, yeah, oh that already quote.
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, it wasn't said by Western Churchill, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but I like to say it was said by Winston Churchill,
Speaker 1: and people believe it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Churchill esk, anything is possible. Winston Churchill one
Speaker 2: of his great quotes. But meanwhile, Donald Trump was showing off,
Speaker 2: how you know he's top of the field, and actually
Speaker 2: he has not cognitive decline, but cognate cogal cognolative.
Speaker 3: Incline, because nobody anything like it.
Speaker 2: He's already begun the birth attacks on Nikki Haley, as
Speaker 2: uh I mentioned last week, calling her Nemerota and like
Speaker 2: trying to be like.
Speaker 3: I don't know if she can actually run folks, because
Speaker 3: you know, she's ethnic.
Speaker 2: And he's also absolutely unable to speak clearly about her.
Speaker 2: He repeatedly kept confusing her with Nancy Pelosi in New Hampshire.
Speaker 2: And let's just let's just hear it from the goat's
Speaker 2: mouth on this one where he's clearly just anyway, the
Speaker 2: guy's the guy's sharp as fuck.
Speaker 1: Y'all find a new angle. This guy's mind as sharp
Speaker 1: as a tech reports the crowds.
Speaker 6: You know, by the way, they never report the crowd
Speaker 6: on January sixth, you know, Nicki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley,
Speaker 6: you know they do.
Speaker 1: You know, they.
Speaker 6: Destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything,
Speaker 6: delete it and destroyed.
Speaker 3: All of it about January sixth.
Speaker 6: Because of lots of things like Nicki Haley is in
Speaker 6: charge of security, we offered her ten thousand.
Speaker 2: People, Oh, in charge of security of the capital as speaker.
Speaker 3: Is that what you meant? And you offered Nancy Pelosi?
Speaker 3: Is that? Like the net anyway? So that's what we've
Speaker 3: got on deck, Nikki Haley.
Speaker 2: It's the wild thing is to this basically like it
Speaker 2: was going around Twitter because like all the Trump watchers
Speaker 2: were posting like the clip, but it didn't get press
Speaker 2: coverage that he was misspeaking until Nicki Haley herself pointed out,
Speaker 2: They're like, this fool can't even he can't even, he
Speaker 2: doesn't even know who I am. He's like, and this
Speaker 2: is what you're gonna get with an eighty year old
Speaker 2: person in office.
Speaker 3: The line only goes down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're like and then they started talking about it,
Speaker 2: which Michael TOMASKI I think in The New Republic was
Speaker 2: basically saying, like, imagine if Biden had misremembered someone from
Speaker 2: his cabinet, like a cabinet appointee from from his administration
Speaker 2: with him and with his biggest political opponent in Congress.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's definitely got a gaff or two in him.
Speaker 2: But like, I think it's just interesting how I think
Speaker 2: in the media we're just so used to him never
Speaker 2: making sense that it's like, yeah, fuck it, this guy
Speaker 2: has totally lost the plot. I mean, that's not real news, right,
Speaker 2: rather than being like, uh.
Speaker 3: Loo proof, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: The Overton window man an Overton French door.
Speaker 1: Now, is he like glistening and sweat in that clip
Speaker 1: he looks like very moist jack.
Speaker 3: Glowing. He's definitely glistening. Yeah. Uh all right, let's.
Speaker 1: Uh, let's take a quick break and we'll be right
Speaker 1: back to talk about Davos, folks, and we're back.
Speaker 3: We're all right. Davos happened last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is where all the richest people in the
Speaker 1: world get together do ted talks at one another. You know,
Speaker 1: host panels speculate about the future to a large degree.
Speaker 1: That seems to be like the main thing that the
Speaker 1: mainstream media takes away from it is what there?
Speaker 3: What do? What does the I Luminadi say? Is is
Speaker 3: going to happen?
Speaker 1: They said that there's not going to be a recession
Speaker 1: this year, which is the first time I feel like
Speaker 1: they haven't predicted a recession in a couple of years.
Speaker 3: Oh they've decided.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've decided no recession this year. Last couple of years,
Speaker 1: there was a recession coming that didn't technically come.
Speaker 3: It was the forecast.
Speaker 2: It's like, we're going to say, there's a recession, We're
Speaker 2: going to lay a bunch of fucking people off, and
Speaker 2: then we're going to absorb all that money as profit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah exactly, But what casion? Yeah? Do it? Do it?
Speaker 3: Do it?
Speaker 1: One telling thing was that Alex Soros, who is George's son,
Speaker 1: said that according to like the people the business leaders
Speaker 1: and like you know, billionaires and philanthropists that this thing
Speaker 1: is basically a done deal that Trump is going to
Speaker 1: win the election this year. And then he pointed out
Speaker 1: that that is probably a good thing because they're always
Speaker 1: wrong about everything. He said, they're always wrong about like
Speaker 1: presidential elections.
Speaker 2: Well he's saying, whenever these assholes get together and they're like,
Speaker 2: it's in the bag, y'all, they're.
Speaker 1: In the bag for Trump. He's like, all right, well
Speaker 1: that's good, good news for Biden.
Speaker 2: So there's like a Davos curse, like the Ted Cruz
Speaker 2: curse kind of Yeah, yeah, all right, I can get
Speaker 2: behind that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I was looking at the review of like
Speaker 1: what came out of it. I guess there was a
Speaker 1: lot of AI stuff, and like some of it was
Speaker 1: people being like very scared of AI. Some of it
Speaker 1: was people being very optimistic about AI. Right, So who
Speaker 1: He pointed out that last year everybody was still talking
Speaker 1: about Crypto Davos. It's like pretty late in the game
Speaker 1: to not realize that was a scam.
Speaker 2: Oh how are we letting them run the fucking board
Speaker 2: on us economically? Yeah, I mean it just shows you
Speaker 2: what capital that all the protections that offers. But I
Speaker 2: think it also has like cop vibes, like Coop twenty eight,
Speaker 2: like where all these like leaders get together and they're like,
Speaker 2: we clearly know what the problem is, but let's just
Speaker 2: fucking ignore that. Because like during that during the Davos gathering,
Speaker 2: there was a group believe it or not, of ultra
Speaker 2: wealthy people that believe they absolutely should be taxed more.
Speaker 2: And they release the findings of a survey that showed
Speaker 2: that a decent amount of other hyper wealthy people are
Speaker 2: also down for a little less yacht this year. And
Speaker 2: this poll was conducted by a firm servation on behalf
Speaker 2: of the Patriotic Millionaires, which is an advocacy group that
Speaker 2: campaigns for a more progressive tax system. They pulled over
Speaker 2: twenty three hundred millionaires and billionaires in G twenty nations
Speaker 2: and found that seventy four percent support higher taxes on
Speaker 2: wealth to help address the cost of living crisis and
Speaker 2: improve public services. More than seventy percent of the respondents
Speaker 2: said they believe wealth quote helps buy political influence, and
Speaker 2: a majority see extreme concentrations of wealth at the very
Speaker 2: top is corrosive to democracy. And there was also an
Speaker 2: Oxvan analysis that showed the world's billionaires have gotten three
Speaker 2: point three trillion dollars richer since twenty twenty, as five
Speaker 2: billion people across the globe have lost ground. Yeah, just
Speaker 2: a very interesting painting in Abigail Disney, who also gave
Speaker 2: a comment on this report, I'll give you a few
Speaker 2: guesses as to who she's related to. Any guesses Gate
Speaker 2: Bill Gate exactly exactly. Bill Gates's daughter pointed out that
Speaker 2: traditionally people would reach for pitchforks in times of great inequality,
Speaker 2: but now it's populism that is taken over, and the
Speaker 2: best way to stabilize things is for.
Speaker 3: Them to get taxed properly.
Speaker 2: They're like, I don't know what else to do, Like,
Speaker 2: people are falling by the wayside, but we're just we're
Speaker 2: all basking in this system that allows us to hoard
Speaker 2: all of this wealth without having to do anything with
Speaker 2: it that would, you know, generally benefit the less fortunate.
Speaker 2: So yeah, they were just like, yeah, yeah, get out here, man,
Speaker 2: this is we're going to talk about how cool these
Speaker 2: fucking Pokemon NFTs are that we're about to go all
Speaker 2: in on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are millionaires. That's disgusting that guy Brandon
Speaker 1: whatever from talking about Lindsay Lohan. She has seven million dollars,
Speaker 1: which is basically disgustingly big.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh bow money. That's right.
Speaker 1: You need you want to you want to get my attention,
Speaker 1: get some billionaires talking about this. But yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like the whole vibe at Davos is billionaires buying into
Speaker 1: the illuminati conspiracy theories about them and then like not
Speaker 1: being in control enough to actually make correct predictions. And
Speaker 1: really all they're doing is conspiring with one another to
Speaker 1: protect their wealth from taxation essentially.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably like swap picks of their bunkers and ship
Speaker 2: oh yeah yeah the billion how much bunker flexing is
Speaker 2: going on at Davos, So, like, dude, you hear about
Speaker 2: all that stuff, but at night people are doing straight
Speaker 2: up slide shows in their hotel rooms of their bunkers to.
Speaker 1: This bad boy underground little silo that looks like the Maldives, right,
Speaker 1: that's all screens, that's all screens in a wave machine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to that movie to Leave the World behind. Pretty
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I'll send you my VR beach guy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: fun with him, dude, he's cool. Yeah, this should only
Speaker 3: cost like twenty five Mili there was a.
Speaker 1: Huge pro Palestinian protest at Sundance the Davos of the
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, and it shut down Main Street and you
Speaker 1: know was pretty well attended.
Speaker 3: Uh there was the.
Speaker 1: Melissa Barrera India More among some pretty well known actors, right,
Speaker 1: you know, entertainment figures. But the way it was covered,
Speaker 1: like by the you know, Hollywood report or it was
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. It was just like the entire article
Speaker 1: just felt very bad faith. They basically like kick off
Speaker 1: with like how can you protest on behalf of innocent
Speaker 1: Palestinians you're you know, LGBTQ and you'd be killed there,
Speaker 1: and then like that, yeah, just putting that argument in
Speaker 1: like in the voice of the article, or like the
Speaker 1: members of the LGBTQ community often face violence, persecution, and
Speaker 1: death in Palestine. More offered a counter by saying, this
Speaker 1: is about life. That's why I'm here, I'm trans right,
Speaker 1: it's about like just like giving a.
Speaker 2: Yeah that that logic should be applied, rather than like
Speaker 2: saying like, I'm sorry, that doesn't preclude me from looking
Speaker 2: at the needless killing of innocent people.
Speaker 4: And yes, also like and also like the like there's
Speaker 4: a ton there's a huge struggle too in Israel with
Speaker 4: people fighting their far right government over like a Supreme
Speaker 4: Court that just wants to like claw back all kinds.
Speaker 2: Of rights rel GBTQ people that they've they've won over
Speaker 2: the last you know, a few decades. So a lot
Speaker 2: of Yeah, of course, very bad faith. I expect nothing
Speaker 2: less from a Penske owned outlet. You know, PMC, Penske
Speaker 2: Media Corporation. They own like most of the industry rags
Speaker 2: in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: Oh really, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: From Penske Trucks. You know he was gonna say, oh,
Speaker 2: the trucking company. Yes, yes, they all those Hollywood reporters delivered.
Speaker 3: You know, you know how many industry rags they own.
Speaker 2: They owned Billboard, they owned Variety, They owned the Hollywood Reporter,
Speaker 2: they owned the Golden Globes, they own Rolling Stone, they
Speaker 2: own rob Report, south By Southwest, Like these are all
Speaker 2: brands under this media umbrella, Indie Wire, fucking Deadline, Like
Speaker 2: I wonder what the logic is that, Like, you know
Speaker 2: how Michelin became the restaurant authority because it was like
Speaker 2: well back then it was like you know, right, you're
Speaker 2: trying to get people out of the house and like
Speaker 2: driving on tires to like go out to restaurants. So
Speaker 2: they started like covering different restaurants around the world, and
Speaker 2: that's how they became the authority. I wonder, like what
Speaker 2: the logic is of like the truck rental company, and
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look on it, just like on
Speaker 2: the on our principles as the thing it says. What
Speaker 2: began as a handwritten promise on November fifth, two thousand
Speaker 2: and four has grown into a global media organization built
Speaker 2: on superior content from the industry's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as the film festival stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: the thing that's making headlines so far is a film
Speaker 1: about sasquatch having sex, vomiting, and farting, starring Jesse Eisenberg
Speaker 1: and Riley Koh. I mean, great, yeah, this is interesting
Speaker 1: because people are like, this is uncalled for, like the
Speaker 1: entirely inappropriate protests, presumably before heading into a theater playing
Speaker 1: the movie where Bigfoots fuck each other.
Speaker 2: Holy shit, I didn't realize if the film follows a
Speaker 2: family of yeties over the course of a year. The film,
Speaker 2: which has zero dialogue or narration, wow, plenty of grunts,
Speaker 2: captures an immersive quote true depiction of the daily life
Speaker 2: of this asquatch true.
Speaker 1: Depiction, which on the research folks.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 2: And this reminds me of like Swiss Army Man when
Speaker 2: it came out and people.
Speaker 3: Were like, yeah, yeah, dude, similar.
Speaker 2: Harry Potter's like a farting corpse in this movie. I
Speaker 2: don't know what the fuck's going on. Cut to we
Speaker 2: get everything everywhere all at once A few years later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 2: Great, let the give us something like, honestly, let's watch this,
Speaker 2: ask the yet the YETI yet tis Yeti's jack off
Speaker 2: and vomit and fart, and let's celebrate that through the
Speaker 2: language of cinema.
Speaker 3: Yes please, I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, And we have an update on the
Speaker 1: story that has been kind of in and out headlines
Speaker 1: since two thousand and five. I remember this being a
Speaker 1: story back then. So, the Judy Garland's iconic ruby slippers
Speaker 1: from the Wizard of Oz were stolen back in two
Speaker 1: thousand and five. Okay, they were then recovered in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: but the man responsible for the theft wasn't charged until
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. And then we've just gotten like additional
Speaker 1: information on who he is.
Speaker 3: And his motives.
Speaker 1: Thanks to newly released court documents, Apparently, slippers were stolen
Speaker 1: by an aging mobster who had gone straight but was
Speaker 1: talked into one last score, like literally one last score
Speaker 1: stealing the like that that is a quote, one last
Speaker 1: score stealing the ruby slippers from the Judy Garland Museum
Speaker 1: in Duluth, Minnesota, because he believed that the slippers contained
Speaker 1: actual rubies because they were.
Speaker 3: Insured for one million dollars. You fool, you thought they
Speaker 3: were fucking actual.
Speaker 2: Oh my to see you aging mobster they called slippers
Speaker 2: in the movie.
Speaker 3: Can't do that, that's illegal.
Speaker 2: Actually, oh my god, dude, we gotta steal the Ring
Speaker 2: of Power. You saw how fucking lit that thing was
Speaker 2: in the movie. Imagine if we had that ship, we
Speaker 2: could just walk into a bank all invisible and ship
Speaker 2: and walk out with the monies.
Speaker 3: It's that's if that's the name of it.
Speaker 2: And there's no way they would make something that expensive
Speaker 2: for something that's on camera. That's like when you think
Speaker 2: like they use actual cash, like in scenes where like
Speaker 2: they're doing bank.
Speaker 3: Robberies, Like, dude, how much cash is that? Like actually
Speaker 3: to good for that?
Speaker 2: They're called fucking props and they're only insured for that
Speaker 2: much money because of its like cultural significance.
Speaker 3: Right, the fuck it's it's rough.
Speaker 1: He only found out the slippers were covered with glass,
Speaker 1: not rubies, when he took them to a fence. Uh,
Speaker 1: this must have been a tough day because I feel
Speaker 1: like fences aren't that into a cultural legacy. No, you know, no,
Speaker 1: So that must have been a bad day. And he
Speaker 1: apparently had no idea about the cultural significance of the
Speaker 1: ruby slippers because he had never actually seen the Wizard
Speaker 1: of Us.
Speaker 3: The fuck it just heard.
Speaker 2: Tell the guy what a fucking rube he must have
Speaker 2: been to get talked like to do the He went
Speaker 2: straight and then was talked into quote one last score.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, who's got the rights to this? I know?
Speaker 1: Well it needs to be the Cohen's or the people
Speaker 1: who make Fargo the TV show because for the film
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, but I mean it takes place in
Speaker 1: Minnesota and it involves bumbling mobsters.
Speaker 3: Oh right, because the museum is in Duluth.
Speaker 1: The museum is in Duluth, So assuming he's from Minnesota,
Speaker 1: I think we'd be well, you know, give it a
Speaker 1: little Fargo vibe.
Speaker 3: Who could be fun?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Yeah, this is definitely headed for the big screen.
Speaker 2: I know, definitely, like I can just for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: I just hear Lyle from Escape from Danamora like that, Lyle,
Speaker 2: I got that ruby slipper and have rubies in them.
Speaker 2: They don't, oh about Lyle?
Speaker 1: Why they say rubies on them?
Speaker 3: Right there? You know they're all right on that.
Speaker 2: Tis Why wouldn't they have rubies in them if they
Speaker 2: were called ruby slippers? Oh well, okay, well fuck around
Speaker 2: and find out.
Speaker 3: I guess as you for your swan song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well those are some of the things
Speaker 1: that are trending on this Monday, January twenty second. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself.
Speaker 1: That it's like a kind of a quiet dean screen
Speaker 1: that's like a muppet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like a little like a mother or
Speaker 3: like Yoda, a little bit like.
Speaker 1: Yodam agreeing with something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like he's like I can get behind that kind
Speaker 3: of maybe twe ordered tie Yoda.
Speaker 1: I like, all right, be kind to each other because
Speaker 1: of yourselves. Get the vaccine, don't do nothing about what suppresacy,
Speaker 1: and we will fuck y'all tomorrow, but yeah,
