1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this special episode of

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: the gold Trend State Bridge. I'm Jack O'Brien. That's Miles Gray. Miles,

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: can you hear me over the traffic on the Golden

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: gate Bridge behind me? Very clear your background? I was

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: very concerned. I thought you were in a helicopter above

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: the Golden gate Bridge at night, even though it is

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: not quite dark outside. You just having a little fun

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: with you, guys, um using a zoom background. No one

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: can see. This is for an audience of two. And

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Anna's not even I know Anna. Anna's the queen of

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: all of all the zoom effects. And I uh, this

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: is my first time trying. But I think it's their

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: stock background. Guy, he's coming week, he's coming with the well.

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: But this is this is a good one. It's pretty

15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: fun if you say something. All right, guys, let's miles, guys,

16
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: let's tell the guys what's trending, and the gals and

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: the non bin folks to everybody's out here trending in

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: the streets. Everyone out chair uh Rem desvere disavere, ari

19
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: m desivere. Yeah. So this is an experimental drug for

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: the coronavirus that Dr Anthony Fauci has confirmed has a

21
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: proven benefit, a statistically significant positive effect in diminishing the

22
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: time to recovery. Um. So now we just have to

23
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: wait for the President to confirm that that's true, and

24
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: then I'm going to start feeling pretty positive. Yeah. I mean,

25
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: I think we've all learned throughout all this, Um, Anthony

26
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: Faucci just wants attention and he's you know, uh, he

27
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: just wants all the show and he's he's a distraction.

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, if this is what he says, I

29
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: guess this could be good news. Again, we need to

30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: wait for the Commander in chief to officially approve this message,

31
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I wow. It's the thing that most

32
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: people were pointing to this whole announcement was, you know, normally,

33
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: if you have a clinical trial, like it's got to

34
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: go through peer review and all this other stuff before

35
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: you're like out here basically saying like they're as he's

36
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: a clear cut, significant positive effect in diminishing the time

37
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: to recovery. Um but he said the reason why he

38
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: did it is there's quote an ethical obligation to immediately

39
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: let the placebo group know so they can have access

40
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: to the drug. So that yes, that's a good It's

41
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: like at first, whenever you read anything like this, I

42
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh God, uh really, but I mean again,

43
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear it from a doctor. Yes, And

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we've talked before about how there's

45
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: like a long period of time needed to figure out

46
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: like what the side effects of various treatments are. But

47
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: like when you look at the history of the Its

48
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: crisis in the eighties and nineties, which is where Dr Fauci,

49
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: like what his background is, you know, a lot of

50
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: that was trying to figure out ways to get the

51
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: FDA to approve experimental treatments and things that you know

52
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: hadn't been fully vetted in the way that you would

53
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: typically vet a a treatment, but you know, people were

54
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: out here dying, so they were bending the rules a

55
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: little bit to give people access to things that hadn't

56
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: been fully vetted yet, and that ended up being how

57
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: they got to some of the things that worked out

58
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: in that particular crisis. So probably going to have to

59
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 1: do that again, and there will probably be uh, it's

60
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit messier than your typical drug trial,

61
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: but uh, shout out to them, Shout out to everybody

62
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: who's uh, you know, out there working really hard on

63
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the front lines to find something and it's going to

64
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: help people. And speaking of the devil, Jared Kushner, uh,

65
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: doing the Lord's work. He said that the federal response

66
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: to coronavirus has been a great success story. She's so foolish.

67
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, unbelievable. We're passing the Vietnam War death toll.

68
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: And it's great success, great, great success everyone really, I mean,

69
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: the way the government came together to save everyone's lives. Um,

70
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: it's completely yeah, it's it's a joke. So uh. A

71
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: lot of people are rightly just rolling their eyes and

72
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: can't believe what they're hearing, Like when you live in

73
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: a world where you know, people are still unable to

74
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: go to work, people were not able to be near

75
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: loved ones as they passed away. But yet, yes, great

76
00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: great success, everyone nailed perfect. I don't know how they're

77
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: going to tell that lie to themselves and their followers.

78
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: And I know they are going to tell that lie.

79
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: I just don't know how how they pull it off

80
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: and how people are going to convince themselves to believe it.

81
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: I know they are going to do that, but we'll

82
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: see how how they the clever always they contort themselves

83
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: to to buy that ship. Let's talk Assassins created one

84
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: of your favorite franchises. Finally, Uh, some new art has

85
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: been revealed eagerly anticipated in my household. Uh what what

86
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: do you think? Man? I don't wanna I don't want

87
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: to put my I don't want to put my opinion

88
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: on you, right right? What are your thinking? I mean, Jack,

89
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: what do you what do you think? I just the

90
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: constant synchronization you had to do, like to get like

91
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: more a wider view of the map at every level

92
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: you go to as your character in the game, is

93
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: you get really redundant? I thought it was a little

94
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: bit annoying, like in terms of gameplay, like you know, uh,

95
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: but it's still you know, it's Assassin's Creek. It is

96
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: what we thought it was. Uh oddly enough as your

97
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: big commentary, and it's pretty spot on for what this

98
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: game is. Um, it's pretty consistent. It's every every iteration

99
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: you're in some kind of your some warrior, some person

100
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: fighting people, whether that was et CEO in Italy or

101
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: you know you're in like the Revolutionary War or Egypt

102
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: or the Roman Empire. I believe I haven't played that

103
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: one that's called Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Let me know if

104
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: that's worth downloading. But it's like a very simple game,

105
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: over and over, always exploring some new kind of you know,

106
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: warfaring culture, and this time it's Viking themed, which is

107
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: new territory. The title kind of gave it away with Valhalla,

108
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: but for people who play other u Ubisoft games, like

109
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: did Vision two, sometimes there was little things lying around

110
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: where you could tell that maybe the next Assassin's Creed

111
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: was going to have a Viking theme for those steely

112
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: eyed agents as we call it, right Jack, Yeah, that's

113
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: what we call it. I don't know about the restaurant.

114
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm on board. It doesn't seem like a place like

115
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: a period of time with like a lot of intrigue

116
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: and like sneaking up on people because it's you picture

117
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: the Vikings as like, you know, just running around with

118
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: hammers and axes, like just sucking, just stealing sid from Yeah.

119
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: So I'll be interested to see as I get deeper

120
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: into this game. Uh, you know what, what how they

121
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: pull it off? Right right? I have no doubt they will.

122
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: The Creed franchise, Uh, you know one top two Creed franchises, right,

123
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: there's the Ryan johnsone and not Ryan Johnson, Michael B. George.

124
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about you, Jack, but I

125
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: think you know when you when you heard Vikings, you

126
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: were hoping that maybe it takes place. We're talking, you know,

127
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: seven ninety three. They're pulling up to Linda's Varna, uh

128
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: and just absolutely raiding a priory, you know, surprise raid. Yeah,

129
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: officially kicking off the Viking era. I'm more interested in seeing,

130
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: uh like fourteen one, where it's different native tribes in

131
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: the New World and they're taking out colonizers and uh

132
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: conquista doors. That's that's what I would also watch a

133
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: movie called fourteen two Electric GOOGLEO. Yeah, I don't know

134
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: why it's gonna be fucked up. Uh. And then finally

135
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: warp speed Uh yeah is trending, dude, such great marketing here.

136
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Operation warp speed is what the president, you know, directing

137
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: HHS f d A to get a friggingt vaccine push gone.

138
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: We are flying at warp speed here to cover our

139
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: asses because we were so slow to respond to this.

140
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Warp speed is the only thing that will do. Um.

141
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: I think It's clever because it almost makes it seem

142
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: like they're really on top of things by giving it

143
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: a name like warp speed um, but essentially, as an

144
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: Assistant Secretary of HHS says, like sounds like a straight

145
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: out of a North Korean news broadcast, Operation warp Speed

146
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: is clearly another extension of President Trump's bull leadership and

147
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: unwillingness to accept business as usual approaches to addressing the

148
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen crisis. Fuck bro, the businesses. I'm tired of

149
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: these people's business as usual approaches to addressing this once

150
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: in a lifetime COVID nineteen healthy epidemic and pandemic. Yeah,

151
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean again, of vaccine timetables have been a lot

152
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: of like apparently, you know, positive things coming out of

153
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,000
