Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this long Week trend
Speaker 1: Labor Day Week Trends episode.
Speaker 2: Oh he back, well, well, well, well at you, well,
Speaker 2: at you well atchie, or maybe more appropriately I should
Speaker 2: say bonorma michi.
Speaker 3: It's been a wonderful.
Speaker 4: Time in Pulia and now I'm back.
Speaker 3: I'm back, I'm back, doing great, And.
Speaker 1: How was it you? It sounds its great. Your your
Speaker 1: accent sounds completely authentic.
Speaker 3: I mean, thank you so much.
Speaker 4: I would say that. You know, when you're spending time
Speaker 4: in what they call the heel of the boot of Italy.
Speaker 4: Little did I realize that I would find myself being
Speaker 4: healed in a spiritual sense from the beauty of the
Speaker 4: sun and and food.
Speaker 3: I just I'm.
Speaker 1: In the heel of the healed by the butte.
Speaker 3: M thank you, thank you. See this is why I
Speaker 3: need to come back, because I'm a brain without you. Uh.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm Jack O'Brien. That is Miles Gray. He's back
Speaker 1: from his journey journeys abroad. Yes he will be pronouncing
Speaker 1: selective words differently, but not.
Speaker 3: For saying that.
Speaker 4: Thank you for saying differently, because before you said in
Speaker 4: an insufferable obnoxious way. But yes, you made a euphemistic version.
Speaker 4: I will be doing it a little bit differently.
Speaker 1: Yes, see see see. I believe you're gonna find a
Speaker 1: way to keep mentioning Fedicini for some reason. Anyways, Uh,
Speaker 1: this is this is the episode where we get back
Speaker 1: tell you what trended over the long weekend? Yeah, what
Speaker 1: a what a long weekend weekend? We we had burning Man,
Speaker 1: we had uh some ri ips to some real ones.
Speaker 1: We had Taylor Swift owning the uh well, first of all,
Speaker 1: owning owning the prison yard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say yeah, and then.
Speaker 1: Owning the studio leads a bunch of stuff. But before
Speaker 1: we get to any of it, Miles, we do like
Speaker 1: to let our guests get to know us a little
Speaker 1: bit better and tell them something that we think is overrated, underrated?
Speaker 1: You want you want to kick us off with something
Speaker 1: you think is overrated?
Speaker 4: Sure, and you know this is apropos of nothing, but
Speaker 4: I will say something that is overrated is focacha genoves Day,
Speaker 4: because you know, in the US, what we understand is
Speaker 4: focaca is actually it's from Genova and it's the kind
Speaker 4: of fakatcha you see at most Italian restaurants. But as
Speaker 4: I spent time in Pulia, specifically in Body, I realized
Speaker 4: that focacha bade is actually a superior Forcatcha. It's dowier,
Speaker 4: it's denser, it has way more like if you ever.
Speaker 3: Wrapped up in a piece of paper.
Speaker 4: It looks like this episode, dude, like when Homer had
Speaker 4: to gain all that weight, and doctor Nick's like, if
Speaker 4: you rub it on paper and it goes clear, it's good.
Speaker 4: That is what that was, and it was delicious and
Speaker 4: it's funny because a local was telling me breaking down.
Speaker 4: It's apparently a very contentious thing in Italy about who
Speaker 4: who got the good for Katcha and who ye.
Speaker 1: Say that now that you're no longer there, you can yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Thatcha is u caccio?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: I believe hew it's pronounced for.
Speaker 4: Cocas, Yes, but it's been It's I can't I can't
Speaker 4: stop thinking about it.
Speaker 3: And I had I had all these sandwiches on it,
Speaker 3: the amount the sandwich game again, you know, it's I
Speaker 3: don't know where to start.
Speaker 4: Oh man, I had one with uh, you know, as
Speaker 4: the Americans say, gabba ghoul, but colo with some olive
Speaker 4: top of nod a bit of stretchella, cheese, you know,
Speaker 4: rocket and some olive oil and it was fantastic. I
Speaker 4: also had an This has nothing to do with my overrated,
Speaker 4: but I said, one of the best pasta's I ever
Speaker 4: had in my life. It was a pistachio cream with
Speaker 4: like crushed red peppers with like tuna tartar on top.
Speaker 4: Because you're by the sea.
Speaker 1: As a stray ingredient, underrated as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: When you go to the Old Country, they know how
Speaker 1: to do it over there.
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely, so I will say sorry to Genova, you know,
Speaker 4: the city that gave us Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 3: But not only is that man overrated, but so is the.
Speaker 1: Wow all right. My overrated is knowing the words to
Speaker 1: songs that I've been singing for years. I don't know
Speaker 1: what I thought the lyrics to hard Knock Life were,
Speaker 1: just that I thought the first part was hard Knock
Speaker 1: Life for yeah, you know it's it's like steady. I
Speaker 1: always thought it was steady something something. But I've just
Speaker 1: been singing that song since it came out in my head,
Speaker 1: out loud and just phonetically, and it just came up
Speaker 1: again because my kids are obsessed with it because it
Speaker 1: popped up in the Ninjago movie More on that later,
Speaker 1: and they were like, what are the words? They're clearly
Speaker 1: not the thing that you're uh kind of slurring through.
Speaker 1: What what what are you saying? And the lyrics are
Speaker 1: very simple. It's like instead of kids also very dark.
Speaker 1: Instead of like kisses we get kicks.
Speaker 3: You get tricked, instead of kisses, you get get kicked.
Speaker 1: They're very simple, make total sense. I prefer the blur
Speaker 1: of syllables that I had going for years.
Speaker 4: There's something sing it for me. Just give me your
Speaker 4: Morphis person and we.
Speaker 1: Get sick, we get I don't know. I can't even
Speaker 1: do yeah because I don't know what I thought it was,
Speaker 1: but it was. It was way off, and there's something
Speaker 1: I feel like. Most lyrics are like that for me.
Speaker 1: They are just I learned them phonetically and did not
Speaker 1: think about anything about like what was intended, what they
Speaker 1: were trying to say right right right, the feeling of
Speaker 1: the syllables and uh yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: Like again I always bring like so many rap songs
Speaker 4: are like that for me too, until like you know,
Speaker 4: because some back in the day, some rappers had the
Speaker 4: fucking lyrics in the liner notes if you bought the CDs.
Speaker 4: Other times you were like, I don't know what the
Speaker 4: fuck this is, and you'd go on like a janky
Speaker 4: internet site and get like the wrong version two.
Speaker 3: So I was definitely doing syllable screaming. The one I
Speaker 3: always think about too is.
Speaker 4: And I've mentioned in the show, is that Fallout Boys
Speaker 4: song Sugar were going down where I'm like, yeah, like
Speaker 4: that's easier in my mind to sing than what the
Speaker 4: actual lyrics are, So yeah, I feel that.
Speaker 1: But like that one I think is a famous famously
Speaker 1: like people are like I don't really didn't know what
Speaker 1: that was for a while, but like hard knock life,
Speaker 1: like that's very straightforward. My brand had to do work
Speaker 1: to not know what they what those young children were saying, right,
Speaker 1: But maybe I just didn't want to know that they
Speaker 1: were getting kicked instead of kisses.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you were protecting yourself.
Speaker 1: I was protecting from yeah, delicate. What's something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated?
Speaker 3: Underrated?
Speaker 4: And I've actually been thinking about this a lot since
Speaker 4: you were talking about how you like to do something
Speaker 4: that makes you uncomfortable a lot that if you if
Speaker 4: you stay in your comfort zone too long, you feel
Speaker 4: like you begin to like you have to fight the
Speaker 4: inertia of comfort, break the inertia of comfort.
Speaker 3: And as somebody who for the first time took.
Speaker 4: Their young baby, uh you know, traveled as a family
Speaker 4: on a plane, Her Majesty and I decided, yeah, let's
Speaker 4: try a transatlantic flight for the first fight ever we
Speaker 4: do with a rit ex seven month old. It was
Speaker 4: very at times, very uncomfortable or at times, you know,
Speaker 4: I had a lot of things in my mind about
Speaker 4: how difficult I thought it would be, and just persevering
Speaker 4: through gave me such a deeper like appreciation for not
Speaker 4: only like Her Majesty and you know, the geist child,
Speaker 4: but also just being able to trust myself in situations
Speaker 4: like that too, where you're like, oh, this is gonna
Speaker 4: be a nightmare and I'm going to probably just break down.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be on my knees in the streets of
Speaker 4: Italy just not being able to handle anything. And I
Speaker 4: just like, I feel so much more confident, and I
Speaker 4: really like just to I don't know, I came back
Speaker 4: with such a deeper appreciation of many things, not just
Speaker 4: like our family unit, but just like being home and
Speaker 4: like the shit that being home offers me. So I
Speaker 4: have to say I have to credit you Jack for
Speaker 4: saying that, because I really I've been thinking a lot
Speaker 4: about you saying that about not about challenging yourself to
Speaker 4: do something that not It doesn't have to be necessarily
Speaker 4: being like, you know, terrifyingly uncomfortable, but just to move
Speaker 4: outside of your comfort zone in any way, be a
Speaker 4: big or small because it's true, it really does. It
Speaker 4: does pay off in the end. So yeah, got to
Speaker 4: say massively underrated for something that in our minds, I
Speaker 4: think we overrate pretty seriously.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing underwear made of out of SOS pads. That's
Speaker 1: how I approach.
Speaker 3: It is just yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: Like physical and then a shirt made of my own
Speaker 1: hair that.
Speaker 3: It's not cool, that's what that is.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, okay, So all right, Brian, I do owe
Speaker 4: you twenty bucks. I thought it was I thought it
Speaker 4: was like a mohair mesh Marina you were doing like
Speaker 4: a Jamaican kind of thing.
Speaker 1: But that is super impressive that you guys were able
Speaker 1: to travel internationally with the geist child such a young child.
Speaker 4: Yeahs and shout out to Europe or especially Italian culture
Speaker 4: for loving a baby like on site wow, because you know,
Speaker 4: in the US, a lot of times you're.
Speaker 3: Like, ah, baby, fuck, Like it's gonna fuck my vibes
Speaker 3: up because.
Speaker 1: On a conference call right now, your baby's going to
Speaker 1: be crying on the background.
Speaker 4: You're bringing your baby into this Sharky's Mexican cantina right now,
Speaker 4: I'm trying to do something serious. But yeah, like in Italy, man,
Speaker 4: like the way people stop you on the street and
Speaker 4: just like oh okay, little bambino.
Speaker 3: They It also.
Speaker 4: Made me much I don't know, like I just appreciated
Speaker 4: life more and the idea of community much more.
Speaker 3: So overall, fantastic, fantastic.
Speaker 1: You do vacations, right man, You really like come back
Speaker 1: from your vacations with like a new view on the world.
Speaker 1: It's underrated, how great, how great you are at vacation.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's that or just you know, by virtue
Speaker 4: of just trying new things, like and I guess I
Speaker 4: try to always really find that in whatever you do,
Speaker 4: because those are like the real memorable things you bring
Speaker 4: back from travel, like obviously seeing new things, but if
Speaker 4: you can add to your your worldview and come back
Speaker 4: a slightly different person and improved person. Then I feel
Speaker 4: like then you get the most out of what you do,
Speaker 4: even if you're taking a trip to somewhere you've been already. Again,
Speaker 4: That's why credit to you for like of really leaning
Speaker 4: into the unknown and the discomfort, because that's truly where
Speaker 4: they go. That's where the growth is. It's not in comfort.
Speaker 4: The growth is in the discomfort because hence growing pains.
Speaker 1: Tell you one place that isn't fond of kids, Joshua Tree,
Speaker 1: I feel it like that we went we went there
Speaker 1: for like, uh, I think it was New Year's my
Speaker 1: wife and our two kids, and we're just like sitting
Speaker 1: there playing chess like I thought, being very like, you know, quiet, respectful,
Speaker 1: but man, people were just like the fuck is this?
Speaker 3: Uh that's yeah.
Speaker 4: I think there's just I think there's just something like
Speaker 4: about sometimes when Americans are on when we go on vacation,
Speaker 4: it's like to escape the shitty like hell, escape of
Speaker 4: the toil of our work lives. Yeah, and so like
Speaker 4: you really want to expect this like very sanitized or
Speaker 4: like very specific environment in order to achieve that, and
Speaker 4: sometimes you completely nullify the rights of children to exist.
Speaker 3: In your presence. Yeah, Yeah, is not not good.
Speaker 1: Not good for my underrated I guess, I guess the
Speaker 1: Ninjaga movie. Oh it's not good. But it's like there's
Speaker 1: a whole different type of like movie experience that doesn't
Speaker 1: really like there's not a way to research it. There's
Speaker 1: not like it's not represented in critical analysis. I can't
Speaker 1: go to Metacritic and be like, yeah, but like if
Speaker 1: I'm watching with my kids, what's the what's the score? Right?
Speaker 1: But it's truly about like how much my kids enjoy
Speaker 1: it and how I feel about them enjoying it. Like,
Speaker 1: if they enjoy it but it's a bunch of like
Speaker 1: nonsense and violence, I'm not going to be enjoying it
Speaker 1: that much. But when they love it, and it's because
Speaker 1: it like gets them, you know, right right right, And
Speaker 1: it's like making word play jokes like I don't know,
Speaker 1: Lego movies do a good do a good job, not
Speaker 1: to be like so Legos this massive trillion dollar corporation
Speaker 1: under yeah the Danish hit makers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am.
Speaker 1: Curious to hear, like what what are people with young
Speaker 1: kids like methods for finding out about like media that
Speaker 1: they fuck with that they can like watch with their kids,
Speaker 1: Like the there's this website common sense media that tells
Speaker 1: you like this is probably like even though it's PG thirteen,
Speaker 1: you're probably alright watching this one at like age eleven
Speaker 1: with your kids, right, you know? But I feel like
Speaker 1: it also has like some Christian values biased in there.
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering what what do people use? Is there
Speaker 1: like a good reddit for this shit?
Speaker 3: Right? Well?
Speaker 4: I mean what so, like, what would you what's an
Speaker 4: ideal movie review that is usable for you as a parent,
Speaker 4: like aside from being like wow, it has like great
Speaker 4: you know, like the Metacritic or adult perspective review, Like
Speaker 4: what are kind of things that like what are the
Speaker 4: degrees or categories you're looking for?
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's just like laughter, like number
Speaker 1: of laughs of from a seven year old per age group.
Speaker 1: We also we also went to the Hollywood Ball for
Speaker 1: Return of the Jedi. Uh yeah, yeah. They like the
Speaker 1: orchestra plays the music along with the movie, which was
Speaker 1: very cool. Did not appreciate how much classical music is
Speaker 1: in just all movies, but like that those movies in particular,
Speaker 1: like in those George Lucas movies. It is a wild
Speaker 1: experience to be able to watch as like people's like
Speaker 1: nerd boners go up because like they give out these
Speaker 1: like lightsabers or like you have to buy them, I guess.
Speaker 1: And like when Han Solo comes on screen for the
Speaker 1: first time, it's like zing, like all I go up there.
Speaker 1: But that was cool because, like you know, my seven
Speaker 1: year old it thinks he discovered Star Wars. You know.
Speaker 1: So on the one hand, it's like pretty cool. On
Speaker 1: the other hand, it's like a little disillusioning, but it
Speaker 1: was it was a blest.
Speaker 3: He found his people.
Speaker 1: He found his people at Star Wars show. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a let's take a quick break, and we
Speaker 1: will come back and we'll talk about some of the
Speaker 1: things that we're trending over the week. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back and we're back, and we are going to keep
Speaker 1: with the story that you were in Italy and leave
Speaker 1: out the thing about how you're stranded at Burning Man. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: over the rush back to get in there and get
Speaker 1: in there to the to Black Rock City, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been everywhere.
Speaker 4: Turns out Reddit does work in Europe, so I was
Speaker 4: able to see a lot of interesting video posts from abroad,
Speaker 4: like the Burning Man, not I guess debacle, just nature
Speaker 4: doing its thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so what, like why do you think this
Speaker 1: took people by? Like say, I feel like it's a
Speaker 1: lot of chadenfreuda Oh like yeah, people are like I
Speaker 1: want to see the people who go to Burning Man suffer,
Speaker 1: and a lot a lot of the viral posts where
Speaker 1: like people being like, as bad as this must be
Speaker 1: for them, it's not as bad as being stuck in
Speaker 1: conversations with them about Burning Man. I want to step
Speaker 1: in here and say I enjoy hearing from people who
Speaker 1: go to Burning Man about Burning Man. I think it's
Speaker 1: a weird experience that I have never and probably will
Speaker 1: never experience, but like it.
Speaker 3: Hey, don't speak too soon.
Speaker 1: It can be interesting to hear those stories. I love
Speaker 1: hearing from Michael Swam about his Burning Man adventures.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I like my dad because you know he's he used
Speaker 4: to hang out with some og burners. I just remember
Speaker 4: in the eighties, like when my dad's friends would like
Speaker 4: come back and like always talk about it, and I
Speaker 4: just like the way the conversation was. It's I never
Speaker 4: understood what they were talking about. And my Dad's like,
Speaker 4: it's for adults, it's like an adult thing, and I'm
Speaker 4: like what, but why does he have all these like
Speaker 4: what are all these pictures of this interesting clothing? But
Speaker 4: the culture of it seems like it just taken like
Speaker 4: it's like anything you hear those people talk about how
Speaker 4: it's just changed over the years, and as it became
Speaker 4: more mainstream, just sort of began to draw a different
Speaker 4: kind of participant, like Chris Rock.
Speaker 1: Who didn't have time blow.
Speaker 3: I feel like it makes sense as a DJ Chris Rock,
Speaker 3: you know, it's like when did he went?
Speaker 4: A few years ago? That's when I think a lot
Speaker 4: of people are like, oh, no, okay, here we go
Speaker 4: puff Daddy's there. I guess this is something else.
Speaker 1: Now do we think that we found out that Chris
Speaker 1: Rock was there? Because like, what would that have been
Speaker 1: a thing that we didn't know about, but for the
Speaker 1: whole place turning into a pot of mud that everybody
Speaker 1: had to like escape.
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, I mean, I feel like
Speaker 4: you always liked all those websites typically do like a
Speaker 4: rundown of like here's who went to Burning Man this year,
Speaker 4: especially as it became like kind of celebrity focused, not
Speaker 4: just the festival, celebrities became focused right right, And I
Speaker 4: think in this version, I think it's interesting because I
Speaker 4: think it's a good example of someone having their rich
Speaker 4: guy freak outs, because like the way Diplo was apparently
Speaker 4: that Chris Rock was so frightened apparently as things began
Speaker 4: to devolve, like he hitched a ride back, like in
Speaker 4: a fans truck, like Mista, Mista, get me out of here,
Speaker 4: I gotta go, and he was saying things like he
Speaker 4: thought potentially that again it could be obviously hyperbolic. He's
Speaker 4: a comedian that like it could be devolve into just
Speaker 4: cannibalism and chaos, or that sounded like realistically thought maybe
Speaker 4: people were gonna like run up on their camp and
Speaker 4: like take stuff, which is like very odd because if
Speaker 4: there's one thing I know about Burning Man, it's like
Speaker 4: that doesn't seem like the norm. It sounds like all
Speaker 4: about like sharing, you know what I mean, and like
Speaker 4: you knowing on other people and being able to you know,
Speaker 4: have community.
Speaker 3: But for him, I think he was like, the pores
Speaker 3: are going to overrun our camp, right?
Speaker 1: Interesting? Yeah, anyways, glad that most people seem to have
Speaker 1: gotten out of there safely. Like the like the thing
Speaker 1: that another thing that went viral from Burning Man is
Speaker 1: like the sex plane thing, I don't know, It's just
Speaker 1: it is hard for me to like differentiate what is.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, what is the sex plane.
Speaker 1: There was like a plane that was basically an attraction
Speaker 1: where you could like book it and it would take
Speaker 1: you up into the air and like there it was
Speaker 1: like a tiny plane with just a mattress and like
Speaker 1: some red sheets and shit in the back, and then
Speaker 1: you could have sex in you could join the Mile
Speaker 1: High Club, which I've never not interested in this for
Speaker 1: so many reasons. But people were talking about that on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and I feel like when you actually looked like who
Speaker 1: was writing about it, it was like a lot of
Speaker 1: like British conservative tabloids and stuff like that. So it's
Speaker 1: just like it's differentiating the shadow freud of like the
Speaker 1: you know, conservatives who are like and this is what
Speaker 1: you get hippies for doing this stuff, and then people
Speaker 1: who I would agree, who like I'm kind of more
Speaker 1: in line with that. It's like gotta feel on musk
Speaker 1: had been like swallowed by the mud there, that would
Speaker 1: have been wonderful.
Speaker 4: I'm still just hung up on this sex plane. Is
Speaker 4: the pilot discrete? Is he taking peeks back?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 1: You been on a tiny plane I've been on exactly
Speaker 1: one tiny plane.
Speaker 4: I've seen like videos of people like on a single
Speaker 4: engine plane and it looks like it's there is no
Speaker 4: like you're just fucking right behind a van.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a van with wings is basically so
Speaker 1: I maybe they put up like a separator a divider,
Speaker 1: but it's pilot pilot and then couple having sex in
Speaker 1: a pretty like what what is essentially the size of
Speaker 1: like a a tent.
Speaker 3: So okay, well yeah to each down.
Speaker 1: The person who talked about it was like, yeah, they
Speaker 1: were discreet, they were great and made a lot of
Speaker 1: like you know, they we didn't land until we reached altitude,
Speaker 1: or a lot of like orgasm puns right right right.
Speaker 3: It was fun.
Speaker 1: It's also like the a lot of the people like
Speaker 1: that they look like the people from the real sex documentaries,
Speaker 1: oh GBO documentaries, Like it feels like this is where
Speaker 1: a lot of those people and their uh.
Speaker 5: Their descendants I have gone, Yeah, where do In my mind,
Speaker 5: I'm like that just sounds so unpleasurable for me personally
Speaker 5: to be in a single engine plane with like a
Speaker 5: two person audience.
Speaker 4: But again, we're all wired differently, So if you'd like
Speaker 4: to get your rocks off in a cessna.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, a sexna and go do your thing. Go
Speaker 3: do your thing, all right?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Timothy Shalla May and Kyrie ky Kyrie Kyrie Jrving. What
Speaker 1: Timothy shallaing Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 4: Are hard launching their relationship to Beyonce show man, it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like all this.
Speaker 4: There's been so much rumor about how Timothy Shallowy and
Speaker 4: Kylie Jenner have been, like you know, they're discreet, but
Speaker 4: I guess not really just going to each other's houses
Speaker 4: and limousines and leaving or whatever. But you know, the
Speaker 4: Beyonce Birthday show happened, Diana Ross saying happy Birthday to her.
Speaker 4: I was unable to go do the jet lag but
Speaker 4: it looked fantastic.
Speaker 3: But yeah, apparently Timothy.
Speaker 4: Shallamy and Kylie Jenner just you know, having a good
Speaker 4: old time making out.
Speaker 3: I was more impressed with that.
Speaker 4: Timothy Shallomy just smoking a cigarette in the Sofi arena,
Speaker 4: just like off in the VIP area. I was like, Wow,
Speaker 4: this guy's these guy's.
Speaker 1: Really edgy with his sickies like it that is people
Speaker 1: are doing that again.
Speaker 4: I know that I was struck by in this weird
Speaker 4: fucking nineties brained way. I was like, Oh, Timothy Shallomy,
Speaker 4: it's hot. He's smoking cigarettes, like, and I feel like
Speaker 4: maybe I wonder if that's what Kylie Jenner's into, Just
Speaker 4: like he smokes cigarettes like some nineties scumbag.
Speaker 3: It's so cool. His breath stinks like marlbro Rett's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess he spends probably a lot of time
Speaker 1: in Europe where it's still was a cigarette smoking in Uh.
Speaker 3: They blow it right around your baby. They don't care,
Speaker 3: and I don't either. In my mind, I'm like, say
Speaker 3: it every day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in a way, like it's funny, like someone with
Speaker 4: a cigarette in their mouth will come up to a
Speaker 4: baby like it's like flapping in their lips like, oh, bombino, Bombino,
Speaker 4: And I'm like, bambino. But please don't want to have
Speaker 4: any kind of COPD or something. Please just keep the
Speaker 4: cigarettes away. But anyway, it was fine.
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, all right, Taylor Swift. So a couple of
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift stories the weekend. This article from The New
Speaker 1: Yorker went viral, written by someone who's in jail for
Speaker 1: murder who I'll just read the opening sentence. The first
Speaker 1: time I heard about Taylor Swift. I was in a
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County jail waiting to be sent to prison
Speaker 1: for murder, and yeah, it's you know, it's interesting, like,
Speaker 1: you know, the access to media that he has in
Speaker 1: prison is a lot of just you know, like a
Speaker 1: radio station or like Good Morning America, you know, like
Speaker 1: one of the network television stations, and so like he
Speaker 1: kind of learns about her and here's her music that way,
Speaker 1: and then there's like a MP three trading scene and
Speaker 1: you know, like people who smuggle in boom boxes and
Speaker 1: CDs and like someone smuggles in her new album for him,
Speaker 1: oh well, like for his birthday, and it's just a
Speaker 1: cool He writes eloquently about like that relationship that you
Speaker 1: can have with something that like represents home or like normalcy,
Speaker 1: and right, like, I don't know, have you ever had
Speaker 1: that where you're like homesick or like traveling and then
Speaker 1: it like you're just devouring something that reminds you of home.
Speaker 4: When I would be in Japan as a kid, because
Speaker 4: like if I wasn't in school, like I was in
Speaker 4: Japan to like be with my family there, and like
Speaker 4: in the mid nineties and shit, there was not a
Speaker 4: lot of like American TV. You could just get on

Speaker 4: on that shit every night from like mid night to
Speaker 4: fucking two thirty, watching that shit because it was like
Speaker 4: the one little shred of American culture. But I never
Speaker 4: fucked with nine o two one ozer till I was
Speaker 4: in Japan, because I was like just some homeword shit
Speaker 4: I could like stare at, and I was all over that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do wonder like people talk a lot about
Speaker 1: how like McDonald's and other countries are much better than
Speaker 1: the McDonald's in the US, and I think that's definitely true.
Speaker 1: But I also think you like appreciate the McDonald's in
Speaker 1: another country more because it is that like tread of
Speaker 1: home jack, like that shread of normalcy.
Speaker 4: When I was in when I was in Body, I
Speaker 4: went to macdonalda's digit and oh, yeah, cause I'm look,

Speaker 3: They take their food series, you know what could I say?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a there's a good section where he like
Speaker 1: writes about how he's like making friends in the prison
Speaker 1: yard who were like clowning him for liking Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: but then they eventually come clean that they were clowning
Speaker 1: him for liking I think it was Red because I
Speaker 1: thought it was like a whack like pop departure from her.
Speaker 4: H dude, himpster Swifter is okay, Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4: It's just just like yeah, no, like I almost got
Speaker 4: beat up because I liked Red. It wasn't even like
Speaker 4: it wasn't anything on some of my gang shit. It
Speaker 4: was just for my taste in Taylor Swift's body of work.
Speaker 1: You better not have the wrong Taylor Swift opinions. You
Speaker 1: can like Taylor Swift in the Prisoner, you just can't
Speaker 1: have the wrong tailors with the you.
Speaker 4: Know what they say, day one when you're in prison,
Speaker 4: you go up to the biggest Swifty and you knock

Speaker 1: That's right. But yeah, man, I remember like living in
Speaker 1: Europe for a couple of months, like in school, and
Speaker 1: my thread to like just devouring like NBA like articles
Speaker 1: about the NBA and just like basketball coverage, like Bill
Speaker 1: Simmons in particular, Like this was when he was like
Speaker 1: just first starting out, Like that was the most I've
Speaker 1: ever cared about anything. Was Like how much I cared
Speaker 1: about the NBA when I was in Ireland for two months.
Speaker 1: Like there's just like so much like homesickness and like
Speaker 1: normalcy and just.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sometimes you need that cultural oxygen to breathe in.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just hanging out at the internet cafe reading ESPN
Speaker 1: two like you do all right, let's take another quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll come back and talk about a couple
Speaker 1: more stories. We'll be right back, and we're back. And

Speaker 1: because we so we mentioned then the last week that

Speaker 4: I'm gonna work my own.
Speaker 3: Distribution deal out.
Speaker 1: So she Yeah, she made a deal directly with AMC
Speaker 1: because the studios she was talking to studios, but the
Speaker 1: companies were suggesting a twenty twenty five release, which, you know,
Speaker 1: years after the tour had ended, and you know, she
Speaker 1: and her people wanted the film to come out while
Speaker 1: the tour was ill happening. Turns out they might have
Speaker 1: good instincts about this stuff, and studios should maybe shut
Speaker 1: the fuck up and recognize when they don't know what
Speaker 1: they're talking about.
Speaker 3: Well, that ever happened.
Speaker 1: Universal is apparently extra pist because they were considering distributing
Speaker 1: the Aras Tour movie, and now they've had to move

Speaker 1: just completely destroyed at the boss office.
Speaker 3: I love that shit.

Speaker 3: I'm sorry to that exorcist.
Speaker 1: Really, their decision to get the fuck out of Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift's Way happened literally hours after she announced her movie
Speaker 1: release date. It was like sh kind of immediate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean that's good.
Speaker 4: You know, you know, the gravitational pull of fucking Jupiter
Speaker 4: or in this case, the Taylor Swift concert movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's wild though, how like just yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. We might have to go. We might have
Speaker 1: to review this one, Miles might. Yeah, I'm saying it
Speaker 1: like it's a duty. I want to go. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be but Jack, I want to see how it
Speaker 1: holds up on the big screen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, after seeing it live in the flesh. Okay, okay, if.
Speaker 1: She has the ear monitor problem that she did, my conspira,
Speaker 1: you're like this one.
Speaker 3: She handled the technical glitch gracefully on like fifty cent.
Speaker 1: That's right. There's also a meg Ryan returned to rom
Speaker 1: Coms that got bumped because of this, Uh what happens later?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 1: What is it with rom coms about people who are
Speaker 1: aging that have like these titles that seem like they
Speaker 1: are a randomly selected sentence fragment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then there was that as good as.
Speaker 1: It gets, and and just like that, what happens later?
Speaker 3: Jack, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 3: why it's the same.
Speaker 1: Thing, Alec baldwe something's got to give. I guess that's
Speaker 1: a phrase that's not like a random selected but it
Speaker 1: also feels like it's in the same the same family.
Speaker 3: When Harry met Sally, you know, crazy rich Asians? Does
Speaker 3: that work?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Maybe not, maybe not.
Speaker 1: Now you're just now you're just name it, just saying names.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry, kind of just getting back into
Speaker 4: the swing of things.
Speaker 1: Brian suggesting a couple. What's that thing over there? Where's
Speaker 1: my hat?
Speaker 3: Look? Who's talking?
Speaker 1: Look who's talking?
Speaker 3: Is but that's not really a good Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like there's one guy who's just like
Speaker 1: naming these movies that all like, I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is a genre of movie title. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know. Let me find the one I'm talking about. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's complicated is the one that I was thinking of?
Speaker 1: Right right, right, Miles, we got another fight video, yep,
Speaker 1: we do. At the Morgan wallin. I've been pronouncing that
Speaker 1: Morgan whalen uh and for a reason apparently because oh man,
Speaker 1: these Morgan Wallen fans are whaling on each other by
Speaker 1: the porta Pattis Brother.
Speaker 4: And another video in the category of no one knows
Speaker 4: how to behave anymore outside, especially at concerts, where.
Speaker 3: A full on what was like a three person how many.
Speaker 1: People were I believe it ends up at four yeah, like.
Speaker 4: One piecemaker and then someone the one in the white
Speaker 4: cowboy boots just comes through just.
Speaker 1: Ripping people, just ripping wigs. This this is like an
Speaker 1: Eastern Have you seen the movie Eastern Promises, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: my favorite thing to do where there's like a knife
Speaker 1: fight where everybody's naked and so like the arts are
Speaker 1: exposed and.
Speaker 3: In the Russian bopping around.
Speaker 1: This is a Eastern Promises level body horror, the way
Speaker 1: like faces in this actual fight not directed by David
Speaker 1: Cronenbrick being like pushed into porta potties and it seems
Speaker 1: like someone might actually get like pushed down the hole.
Speaker 3: Dude, So I.
Speaker 4: Thought she was gonna kick her down, like she was
Speaker 4: like kicking a like a cardboard box, like to make
Speaker 4: it fit into a garbage can where you're.
Speaker 1: Like get right in there like pramited it really you're
Speaker 1: in the sess pit. It really like there. I will
Speaker 1: not be using a porta potty again in my lifetime
Speaker 1: without thinking of this video, so.
Speaker 3: And how someone could possibly go in there.
Speaker 1: As much as I've come out and said like no
Speaker 1: more fight videos, guys like that, this is the culture,
Speaker 1: Like this is a part of culture that I can't
Speaker 1: unsee now.
Speaker 4: I like you just putting like David Crone, like the
Speaker 4: Cronenberg glasses on to watch that. Because there's so many
Speaker 4: different analyzes of his video. We saw one that was
Speaker 4: like an m M. A guy who is talking about
Speaker 4: the fighting techniques being employed by the different combatants, as
Speaker 4: you will.
Speaker 1: She goes outside here and that's a mistake because the
Speaker 1: one who has the inner.
Speaker 4: And oh yeah, now she's got control. She's got control.
Speaker 4: You're like, where have Well, this is where we are.
Speaker 1: But I like everybody like are standing upright until the
Speaker 1: fourth woman who's comes in and is just fucking wrecking people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, looks like someone who like regularly delivers cattle or
Speaker 4: something like the strength of being.
Speaker 3: Like like I wrestle tiny faux vine creatures. This is nothing.
Speaker 4: Also, I like howe though the aesthetic though, is so consistent,
Speaker 4: Like if you're if you're you know, if going to
Speaker 4: the Morgan Walland concert, you better have your little quarter
Speaker 4: cowboy boots on, you know, with your cute outfit, because
Speaker 4: I feel like every I guess because it's a country show, Like,
Speaker 4: I guess, do you look like a total herb if
Speaker 4: you show up in like sneakers or some shit or
Speaker 4: flip flop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine.
Speaker 1: So yeahah, keeping closed her for like fish shows. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: there's also just an underrated performance by one woman who
Speaker 1: like just sneaks into one of the porta potties. You
Speaker 1: have been beating each other up inside. Like at first
Speaker 1: it seemed like I thought she just had to like
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom that bad, But it seems like
Speaker 1: maybe she was like trying to recover something that was
Speaker 1: dropped in there.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 4: I like the idea of like having to go to
Speaker 4: the bathroom because that I identify, like just seeing as
Speaker 4: somebody who's like back and I'll go to like a
Speaker 4: lot of festivals and just like that bank of porta
Speaker 4: potties and just like scanning them all waiting for the
Speaker 4: next one to fucking open up. Some run in I
Speaker 4: identify with her just kind of being like, I gotta,
Speaker 4: I don't care what's going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she does it very quietly under under
Speaker 1: the surface is just like I gotta, I gotta get
Speaker 1: in there, and whatever you guys are doing out here,
Speaker 1: that's your thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: My name is Paul. That ships between y'all, all right,
Speaker 1: And finally, just a tragic weekend for easy listening rock stars.
Speaker 1: The main thing is the passing of Jimmy Buffett. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, genre creator and like got a you know,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett. Music is its own type of music. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he passed away at the age of seventy six following
Speaker 1: a battle with skin cancer.
Speaker 3: Oh no, that's what it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta wear the sunscreen folk.
Speaker 3: I know, and it doesn't.
Speaker 4: It feels a little like tragically ironic for someone whose
Speaker 4: like whole brand was like getting out there in the
Speaker 4: sun and my basket in the beach and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, you've raised don't fuck around, they do not. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was, Oh, dude, I was on a plane when
Speaker 4: I was coming when I was going back to catch
Speaker 4: my flight to come home. I was sitting next to
Speaker 4: this dude who was a parrot Head, and he was like,
Speaker 4: oh no, this is like the day it happened. And
Speaker 4: he mentioned Jimmy Buffett like in some other thing and
Speaker 4: he's and I was like, oh dude, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 4: Jimmy Buffett, Like, how are you feeling? He's like he
Speaker 4: was kind of like didn't really want to talk about it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, it's sad, man, it's sad man Like
Speaker 4: it's it's pretty sad, and like his voice was a
Speaker 4: little shaky, and I was like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna I'm gonna let you.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let you process this. However, you got to.
Speaker 1: His devote his fan base seems like they are capable
Speaker 1: of creating as an urban legend or it's something where
Speaker 1: he actually didn't die, Like oh yeah, there's like that
Speaker 1: level of devotion. You know.
Speaker 4: I think I'd imagine they're probably better organized and could
Speaker 4: execute a plan better than like even Maga Republicans. Like
Speaker 4: if the parrot Heads like really wanted to fucking dial
Speaker 4: in on something, they can make shit happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 4: They're all like moving towards that same Margaritaville type, you know, Elysium,
Speaker 4: you know, like, yeah, shared vision of what elysium.
Speaker 1: Is they do I mean, so I didn't realize that
Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett was a billionaire. By the time he passed away.
Speaker 1: He had not only did he have like the Margaritaville
Speaker 1: chain restaurants, but they were like homes. There are bars,
Speaker 1: there were retirement communities in both Florida and South Carolina.
Speaker 3: And he was like.
Speaker 1: A big owner in Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathway. So
Speaker 1: he did well there just purely by coincidentally having the
Speaker 1: same name as Warren Buffett, I think there he was
Speaker 1: just like, we're not related, but.
Speaker 3: Could you.
Speaker 4: Imagine because I just read a story about how Warren
Speaker 4: Buffett's son is playing like like evil Oligarch in like
Speaker 4: Illinois small town politics. So yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll probably
Speaker 4: talk about it this week. It's pretty it's pretty wild,
Speaker 4: like what his son was up to. So yeah, So
Speaker 4: just a couple of Jimmy Buffett stories. One is this
Speaker 4: tweet from PFT commenter great Follow on Twitter just kind
Speaker 4: of went viral, and The New York Times basically wrote
Speaker 4: an article summarizing it or like sourcing it out. But
Speaker 4: the original tweet is the best, it says cool. Jimmy
Speaker 4: Buffett story. One time he was flying his own plane
Speaker 4: to Jamaica with Bono, as one does, and the Jamaican
Speaker 4: authorities misidentified his plane as being a weed smuggler's plane,
Speaker 4: and they opened fire on it with automatic weapons as
Speaker 4: he was trying to land it in the bay. He
Speaker 4: landed and they board it his plane and realized it
Speaker 4: was Jimmy Buffett and Bono. Instead of complaining, Jimmy was like,
Speaker 4: no big deal. I've probably got in away with a
Speaker 4: lot of stuff I should have been caught for. Instead
Speaker 4: of suing them, he just wrote a song called Jamaica
Speaker 4: Mistaka about it vibed absolute legend.
Speaker 3: Fuck wow, okay, good for you.
Speaker 1: I had heard that song title and I did not
Speaker 1: know the backstory.
Speaker 3: That's a real song, huh. I like how it's spelled.
Speaker 4: It's Jamaica and the mistake is spelled like Jamaica M
Speaker 4: A C A.
Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, Good for you, Jimmy, Good for you.
Speaker 1: There's also the this tweet that I really enjoyed from
Speaker 1: Bill Ryan at Faith you Hate, retweeted the New York
Speaker 1: Times obituary. The headline of the New York Times obituary
Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett, Roguish Bard of Island Escapism is dead at
Speaker 1: seventy six, and he quote tweeted that and said, did
Speaker 1: mister Burns write this because it really the Roguish Bard
Speaker 1: of Island?
Speaker 4: Yeah, broke, Okay, you can just yeah, mister Margaritaville, you
Speaker 4: know that encapsulates a little bit better then them.
Speaker 3: Steve Harwell too, and.
Speaker 1: Steve Harwell from Smash Mal passed away at fifty six
Speaker 1: and due to a cute liver failure after a lot
Speaker 1: of struggles with alcoholism. And then Gary Wright, the guy
Speaker 1: who sang dream Weaver. Also, so you know.
Speaker 4: I remember that song from the Waynes World movie when
Speaker 4: I first put on my map and I.
Speaker 3: Was like, what is this fantastic track? Yeah?
Speaker 4: The best Well rest in rest in power and Margarita's
Speaker 4: and all that.
Speaker 1: Yes, rest in smooth vibes.
Speaker 3: You Roguish Bard, the.
Speaker 1: Roguish Bard of Island Escapism. All right, Myles, I guess
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for I guess so, I guess.
Speaker 1: So we're going to be back tomorrow with the whole
Speaker 1: last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
Speaker 1: each other, be kind to yourselves, Get the vaccine, don't
Speaker 1: do nothing about white supremacy, and we will walk you
Speaker 1: out tomorrow.
