31
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: isn't gonna make a whole lot of sense, but basically

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: we're doing a Sweet sixteen bracket NC DOUAA style tournament,

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,720

00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: bracket is in the final eight Glasgal the Glasgow Willy

36
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Wonka story, Mark Robinson, RFK bear Ai six point eight weeks.

37
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: If you don't know what those stories are, especially they

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: when you're not gonna you were always against Miles, and

39
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: you should go back and listen. We still have to

40
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: do the first round of the other side of the

41
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: bracket and also determine where we put Luigi Mangioni. Although

42
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: I would like to propose I would like to propose

43
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: to Luigi Mangioni, would you marry me, sir, may marry me?

44
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Say get proposals like prisoners who just who aren't like

45
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: international heart throbs get proposed to all the time. This

46
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: motherfucker must be just like buried under a bunch of

47
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: paper mail cras candy grabs. All right, so here is

48
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: my proposal. This was, Miles, what you suggested before we started.

49
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: So we we do have an omnibus story. It is

50
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: cotton candy burrito election, the US presidential election, the Bridgerton scam,

51
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: and what if we added Luigi Mangioni to that. Those

52
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: are all basically about the same thing, you know, class consciousness. Absolutely,

53
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: cotton candy burrito is a burrito that had like a

54
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: bunch of shit in it, had too much shit in it.

55
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: And then like enough said.

56
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: Do we just swap those three out and say, Luigi

57
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: Mai dunks on all three of those.

58
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the election, fake Bridgerton, We hate to see you go.

59
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: We were baying. It was interesting because like it was

60
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: such a nothing story and yet it was like really

61
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: resonated with people. People were like, oh, yeah, I remember

62
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: the cotton candy brito. But anyways, keep grating pissed off.

63
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: People were angrier at that than they were at the election.

64
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 1: As the results of the election, and so the cotton

65
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: candy burrito was cotton candy on the outside, chocolate and inside.

66
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: All right, So Luigi Manngioni is now in the bracket

67
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: in the whatever seed that was going up against Kamala

68
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: fashion weak party, which was like one that I was

69
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: expecting to make a lot of noise up until that

70
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: party just ran into a bus saw. All right, So

71
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: here are the matchups that we have to do right now.

72
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna just run through them real quick. So one

73
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: is JD. Vance fucking couches, and then we have the

74
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: dick two big vaulter. JD. Bance did not in fact

75
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: write about sucking a couch, but the way the Internet

76
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: just made it so it was a lot of fun.

77
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: We were just we weren't working with much on the

78
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: Democratic side of the ticket. And let's get to it,

79
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: all right, let's get enough.

80
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: Okay, we already know, we all know the stories we got.

81
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: We got to roll up our proverbial sleeves here.

82
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: Everybody on three is going to say who they want

83
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: to win, and that whoever wins will move through on.

84
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say one, two, three, and then you're

85
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna say your vote okay, not on three okay, So

86
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,640

Speaker 1: we have ray Gun. This is a fucking what a

103
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: what a macw holy ship. We have ray Gun going

104
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: up against RFK brainworm. You know the fact that RFK

105
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: Junior was being piloted by a brain worm, which just

106
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: felt appropriate because nothing he did made sense. And then

107
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: we of course have ray Gun, who appeared to be

108
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: making fun of the idea of breakdancing as an Olympic

109
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: event while also being yeah.

110
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: The whole art of breakdancing being an absolute joke.

111
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Yes, which I disagree with, but there it is, all

112
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: right on three one two three? Brain worm?

113
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: All right?

114
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: Uh so, jam, I don't think I heard you, I said,

115
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Raygun said Regun, I said all of you, Okay, r

116
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: FK Bear made it. So then may have a brain worm.

117
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: We don't know, entirely possible.

118
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: That could be the new defense for cultural appropriation. I

119
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: had this brainworm. Man, I'm not.

120
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 7: Surprised that our f K has the brain worm.

121
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 8: You know, I'm salty because I just lost my my

122
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 8: retirement funds.

123
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: I bet all the.

124
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 5: Brian might be kind to you might not know him

125
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 5: three bitcoins right exactly.

126
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Also, the brain worm I was always a little suspicious

127
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: because it came out during deposition of a divorce where

128
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: he was like using it almost as an excuse, where

129
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: he was like, this is why I can't like pay

130
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: you money. Right, So anyways, all right, up next we

131
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: have Kendrick v. Drake, the Beef, the wrap.

132
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: Beef he has here about that we got to get

133
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: a surf and turf in this matchup, it looks like,

134
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: and that's right.

135
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: And then we have so on one side beef and

136
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: on the other side we got the private equity shrimp.

137
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: Red lust or whatever.

138
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 7: This is hard.

139
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: So Red Lobster blamed their bankruptcy on the bottomless shrimp

140
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: and just being like, you pigs ate too much shrimp

141
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: and then when you dug in it was private equity.

142
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: He had another victim of private equity being vampires who

143
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: just insert themselves and suck up all the money.

144
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 2: And it's like a Sopranos type thing. They break in,

145
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: they run your business in the ground, and then you

146
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: owe them everything.

147
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: All right on three one two three, Kendrick Kendrick Drake.

148
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, you're.

149
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: Not getting us this time, private equity. Nice try. Sorry,

150
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: sorry assholes. Back to the shrimp, you go, all right,

151
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: this is the last one of the first round, and

152
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: then we will take a break and come back for

153
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: the Elite eight. Is that right?

154
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: Elite Okay.

155
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: Finally we have Kamala Harris's Fashion Week party, which was

156
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: just a complete uh compostulation, encasulation in the bottle of

157
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: just like everything being completely out of touch, just perfect.

158
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: It's like if this had been more widely covered, we

159
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: would have all known exactly what was about to happen

160
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: on election Day. I feel like that is going up

161
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: against Luigi Mangioni.

162
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 6: So that's where we're at. And who is Luigi Mangi one?

Speaker 6: One Man Man Guy one.

164
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,360

168
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Kamala v. Manguy one. And I feel like there's might

169
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:20,760

Speaker 5: There is something. There is an extra. There is a

187
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 5: new wrinkle on the Mark Robinson story.

188
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 5: name in question, and and it was very internal. This

204
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 5: wasn't a public basing thing. But someone from the meeting

205
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 5: was like, they sent it to the Assembly, which is

206
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 5: the news outlet that first broke all the Mark Robinson shit,

207
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 5: and they're like, dude, this guy just fucking signed into

208
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 5: a meeting as Mini Soldier. I don't know if that

209
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 5: does anything to his case, but yeah, that might be him.

210
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 5: So I just want to add that he completely self

211
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 5: owned once more before the end of the year.

212
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,480

Speaker 1: as a sex offender for stalking somebody and blamed it

216
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: all on the Glasgow. Yeah, it was like this story

217
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: was just I'm not gonna blame it at all on

218
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, but it certainly didn't help type shit.

Speaker 5: dark term.

224
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,440

254
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: nobody thought. Nobody thought Mark Robinson was gonna do this,

255
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: and then Glasgow had to come from behind.

256
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: Sorry too late, Mark Robinson.

257
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,040

258
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah left fand favorite Yeah yeah yeah, okay up next

259
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: of all the RFK stories, this is the one that survives.

260
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: Uh you know, we had r f K Whalehead.

261
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: Lost to Mark Robins early early exit for that.

262
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: One, but now we have r FK Bear Heidi Bear

263
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: where And this was the one. This was the one

264
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: that like had the whole like long read treatment. The

265
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: New Yorker like wrote about just what a maniac this

266
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: guy is and told the story it was. It's very vivid.

267
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: It does seem to be the one that maybe got

268
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: the most mainstream media coverage, although the Whalehead seemed to

269
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: get a lot of like does geist, but maybe that

270
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: was just because it was last.

271
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 5: Uh No, it got a lot of mileage because a

272
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 5: lot of people started meming that video when he was

273
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 5: telling Roseanne about the bear.

274
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and it turned into you know, that was.

275
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: The one where we went from like the brainworm thing

276
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: is like funny to make fun of, and he's seems

277
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: like a really strange person to like just being on

278
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: a different level of like I can truly hear any

279
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: absurd story about this person, and I guess I have

280
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: to believe it going forward. That Yeah, So I think

281
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: that's where the RFK bear is getting a lot of

282
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: its story. I will say, though, you know, sometimes this

283
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: happens in sports, where like an entire conference, like all

284
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like nine of the ten teams, like

285
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: they were doing great all year. Everyone was like this

286
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: conference is incredible, but they were like playing each other,

287
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: and then they get into like the round of you know,

288
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament, and they just get wiped out because

289
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: they were just playing like worst teams, like they were

290
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: all like a level below everyone. And I'm wondering if

291
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: that's what's happening with RFK. We're about to find out.

292
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 5: Mm hmm, because it's going up against AI six point

293
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 5: eight weeks miles.

294
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: Do we need to refra.

295
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: AI six point no?

296
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 5: Because everybody knows that's my brainworm, that is Miles's brain.

297
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 2: Worm, and it tells me what to do and where

298
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: to go.

299
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: Do we say that this contains in it? It's no

300
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 1: Like my version of this is it's no big secret

301
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: why Van Vought doesn't work in Hollywood anymore, which is

302
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: a headline I saw all over the place on like

303
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: the sidebar edge spam things with a picture of Vince Vaughan.

304
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: It's no big secret why van Vot doesn't work in

305
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: Hollywood anymore. And it's just an example of the you know,

306
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: AI brain rot slowly making its way into the world

307
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 1: in a way that is like unremarked upon. Everyone's just

308
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: like uh huh, yeah, yeah, no, everything sucks, nothing makes

309
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: sense anymore. That's fine anyways, anything anyone wants to add

310
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: on either of these stories before we put it to

311
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: a vote, let's throw down, all right, here we go

312
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: on three we will vote r FK bear AI six

313
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: twenty weeks one two three ry weeks.

314
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,680

Speaker 5: I said y'all were always against me.

318
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,960

322
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,920

323
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we're we're gonna have to. He's gonna

00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: Couch fucking versus Ronald Reagan Ronald ray Gun. This bracket

338
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: is feeling relatively weak this side for some reason. JD.

339
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: Couch Fuck. I don't know, but maybe maybe that's just me.

340
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Anyone speak now forever, hold your piece about either of

341
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: these stories, how they make you feel, why you think

342
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: they deserve extra attention.

343
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 8: They are both weak because they're both like kind of

344
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 8: nothing stories Like the JD Vance couch one just literally

345
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 8: didn't happen, and then the ray Gunt thing was just

346
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 8: a woman embarrassing herself in front of everyone.

347
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, it was our so just mark it down.

348

Speaker 1: The victor hates art, okay.

349
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: Well, Also, I feel like the ray gun thing was

350
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: also this uh it happened when I was like visiting

351
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 3: uh my wife's family, and it was this thing where

352
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: like online culture kind of just intersected with mainstream culture,

353
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: like I was seeing all of this blowing up on

354
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: social media, but also everyone in the real world also

355
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 3: knew about it and could talk about it. It was

356
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: just this like huge dominant thing, whereas like the couch, like,

357
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure my parents if I said something about like

358
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 3: the JD Vance thing, my parents, I don't think they

359
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: would know what I was talking.

360
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 5: She'd be like, I really wish i'd raised you differently,

361
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 5: but here we are, sorry.

362
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,919

363
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: an Olympic Breakdancer like that one right.

364
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,920

368
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: I hate to do this, Kendrick Drake versus Luigi Mangione shooting.

369
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 5: I betray the working class for my West Coast allegiances.

370
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, both of these hot bodies this year. It's uh,

371
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: this is not an easy one. This one. On the

372
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: other side, the last one felt a little light. Wait,

373
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: this one feels heavy. Yeah, this one's heavy, man, all right, Victor,

374
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: you wanted to point out the Kendrick Drake beef might

375
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: seem like it's an over and done with story lives

376
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: from our perspective out here, but people for people, for

377
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: the soldiers in the game, especially those backing Drake, they're like, nah, man,

378
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: this is.

379
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 5: Even on the even on the Kendrick Lamar sub it's

380
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 5: still constantly talked about, to the point where like all

381
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 5: the old heads that were using our our Kendrick Lamar,

382
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: We're like.

383
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: Bro, I can't wait for the beef ship to stop.

384
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: Because there's like a bunch of new people who are just.

385
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 5: Like, like, this ship is not about Drake Lamar. Yeah,

386
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 5: so it's still it still lives rent free in everyone's

387
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 5: brains and hip hop for sure.

388
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: All Right, here we go. I actually don't know which

389
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: one I'm gonna pick. It's gonna it's gonna have to

390
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: be in the moment for me. Okay, all right on three? Okay,

00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, all right, let's stop, let's stop pretending.

394
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 5: And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but this ship is bigger

395
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 5: than hip hop, bigger than hip hop, you know.

396
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna take one more break. We're gonna

397
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: come back. It is the Final Four, and we're gonna

398
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna have the daily Zeitgeist, Season of Champions, Story

399
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: of the Year, Tournament of Champions. All of those words

400
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: in that order is what I intended to say. We'll

401
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back.

402
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: We're back.

403
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: And can I just take like one minute to just

404
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: argue that maybe Dick too big Pole Vaulter deserves to

405
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: just like be considered back in here.

406
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: All right, how much money did you lose?

407
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 9: I rewatched the video and that was it does deserve something.

408
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 9: I was like, damnation, I feel so bad.

409
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: You know you feel bad?

410
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 7: No, yeah, I mean that that guy he lost because

411
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 7: of winning.

412
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So one thing. A couple of details of that

413
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: story are that he had hit the bar already with

414
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: his knees as he was going over the bar, and

415
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: I have a loose theory that he thrust his dick

416
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: forward in order to like catch it because he had

417
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: already lost, and so, in a moment of like ingenious viral.

418
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 7: Marketing, yeah you got to do it for the market.

419
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: Actually caught his dick on it and was like, oh,

420
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: I was a golden I was my big dick away

421
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: from a gold medal.

422
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna need Kevin Costner to dim the

423
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: lights and explain this to me.

424
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: That's great.

425
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 2: I did see that.

426
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 5: There was he posted at the time, like a video

427
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 5: of him like that pole vaulting attempt, and in French,

428
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,239
Speaker 5: the translation was pov, you create more buzz for your

429
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 5: package than your performances, and then the caption also put

430
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 5: I don't know, really, I really don't know if I

431
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 5: should take it well or not, but with like laughing emojis,

432
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 5: he's a good sport and also, bro, you were't gonna

433
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 5: win the That's fine, it was good, good marketing, great marketing.

434
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 8: We could email him and saying that he made it

435
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 8: on this bracket. Maybe that would make him feel a

436
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 8: little bit better, you.

437
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 5: Know, yeah, he made it to the final No wait,

438
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 5: never mind, shut never mind, never mind.

439
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we shouldn't tell him.

440
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Glasgow versus AI six point eight weeks

441
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: Glasgow versus AI slop.

442
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 5: Now, this is hard because it's like a chicken or

443
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 5: egg type situation where I look at me personally, I

444
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 5: look at the AI six point eight weeks thing as

445
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 5: just sort of like this all encompassing, like this is

446
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 5: exactly why we need to fucking run in the opposite

447
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 5: direction of AI in terms of like content generation or

448
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 5: whatever and many other things.

449
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 2: But then Glasgow, why am I saying Glasgow?

450
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 5: Like you, Glasgow is like a better scam with so

451
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 5: many more fun things, And I'd rather see like a

452
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 5: mockumentary about.

453
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 7: That than the IX you know.

454
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, sure Glasgow does have elements of the

455
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: AI slop in it. Yeah, yeah, the the what were

456
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: some of the words that that they were advertising?

457
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 2: It was so bad?

458
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just a bunch of made up rip.

459
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah this great, Okay, So just some things that were

460
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: on eating catating live performances, carchie tons, exascer dre, lollipops,

461
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: Pasi dice of sweet teats, ah sweet sweet in it,

462
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: and like one picture that was, you know a good

463
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: example of like what good ai ar can do, where

464
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: it like looks like a trapper keeper, but it looks like,

465
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: oh this is they've actually built a wonderland of candy.

466
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Like this looks like a modern updating of what Willy

467
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: Wonka's chopping factory would actually look like. And then you

468
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: get there.

469
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 5: And yeah, the intoxicating nature of ai and how it

470
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 5: will draw people like moths to a flame only to

471
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 5: find out it's a big fucking disaster.

472
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

473
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: The actual image was like a empty where how else

474
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: with some like plaster of Paris, big candy cane ships

475
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: and some.

476
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: Really bummed out looking workers.

477
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, very very bummed out. I really do think it

478
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: sums up so many different parts of the of it all.

479
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: All right on three, anybody else speak now forever hold

480
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: your peace.

481
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: I will say I do think there's something but the

482
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 3: Willy Wonka, the fact that it's almost like it's by mistake,

483
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 3: like it's it's a genuinely hilarious comedy that you know

484
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 3: what I mean.

485
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's like it's a hopeful story about ai

486
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: uh and in that way.

487
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 8: Well, and it kept going like each week there was

488
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 8: new like someone else was speaking out against it, or

489
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 8: we got a worker's perspective.

490
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 4: So it was an ongoing story.

491
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: Of fired copycat scam events.

492
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bridgerton does like belong to this story and something. Yes, Miles,

493
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: do you want to just read the six twenty eight

494
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: weeks copy?

495
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 5: Just want I'm just again. I'll find out who's against me. Okay,

496
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 5: that's all.

497
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: That's what I'll use this vote for. I don't need

498
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: to remind people how important this is to me. Okay,

499
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: so we'll see. That's right, let's call the motherfuckers.

500
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah on three then one two three? Oh my god.

501
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: Wait did I think the switch?

502
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: I think you did?

503
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

504
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,159

00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: answer for you.

506
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: Which one's better?

507
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: Hurry?

508
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: Help me help me? Yeah it's Glass what And I

509
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 2: was like, I'll take it. Glasgow? All right, Glasgow, you're

510
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 2: in the final.

511
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, salute to six twenty eight weeks. I do think

512
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: we got to read the six twenty eight weeks one

513
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: last time just to give it a fair sendoff. This

514
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: is how it originally appeared. Yeah, in Jam's original story

515
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: and apparently quote research indicates the gen Z millennials plan

516
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: to sell it rate Halloween by dressing up and planning

517
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: for the holiday about six point eight weeks beforehand, uh,

518
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: which would And then in the actual article, well six

519
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: point eight weeks from Memorial Day is the fourth of July,

520
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: so you still have plenty of time to latch onto

521
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: a pop culture trend and turn it into a creative costume.

522
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: Just absolute meaninglessness. Absolutely, Melissa Kravitz Hoffner, you should be.

523
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: Ashamed if that is your name, exactly, it's probably your

524
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: fucking Melissa Kravitz Hofna.

525
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: That's who writer is coming back exactly.

526
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: Melissa Kravitz Hoffna. You've been the raised.

527
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: This started with a story about Eminem's prematurely launching Pumpkins

528
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: Spice season in June. Yeah, fucking crazy, that is too

529
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: early anyways, Audios, Ai Slop, I'm sure you will be

530
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: on next year's story of.

531
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: Right after this all.

532
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: Right on the other side of the bracket, we have

533
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: what one JD vent J versus Luigi Mangioni.

534
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: The song of Luigi Mangoni. Yep.

535
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean this is uh just raising so many h

536
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: things that I can't say out loud in my head,

537
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: pairing these two against each other. But uh, you know,

538
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: I'll just say we so we got the catch. But yeah, really,

539
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: the JD Vance couch fucking thing took over the Internet

540
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: for a good week at a time when we really

541
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: needed it, yep.

542
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: And it launched a thousand weird ships too. These guys

543
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: are just weird. Huh.

544
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. I mean to be fair, Like we

545
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: were talking about how it didn't cross over as much

546
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: as Reagan, but the Democratic vice presidential candidate did like

547
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: make reference to it and talk.

548
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: About the weird stuff, and it just started with like

549
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: a dude.

550
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 3: It was just like a guy who did like, yeah,

551
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: it's just a ship post and that it made it

552
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 3: from that to like yeah, being referenced in national politics

553
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: and also just so easy to check to see.

554
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: If But did it matter? It exacted matter, And that's what.

555
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 5: I think, BELI yeah, because you're like, I don't know,

556
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 5: I don't know, maybe we might.

557
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 8: I also feel like that was the one thing that

558
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 8: Republicans didn't like being called. They didn't like being called weird.

559
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: Democrats are like, okay, our bad the basti.

560
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: Where they draw the line.

561
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the one thing they could actually point

562
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: out that didn't make people be like, and I bet

563
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: they call me weird. You know, as we've talked about,

564
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: like when the Democrats are like looking down there, no

565
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: was that the Republicans like that actually helps the Republicans,

566
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: like that's part of the strategy. David Graeber talked about

567
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: how these Republics, you know, George W. Bush went to Yale,

568
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: but then when he became a politician, he suddenly had

569
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: a thick Southern accent and like spend his time on

570
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: the ranch because he knew like it was part of

571
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: a strategy where by being a hick, he would get

572
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: the Democrats to make fun of him for being a hick,

573
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: and then all the people would be like, well that's me,

574
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: Like you're making fun of me, asshole. Yeah, and you know,

575
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: Trumps similarly, like there's plenty of things that he embodies

576
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: that people criticized that people were like, yeah, you probably

577
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: say that about me, but weird feels like not one

578
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: of them. It really is wild. We talked before the election.

579
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've talked enough about it after,

580
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: but that like, once an election happens, it becomes everyone's

581
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: just like yeah, and that was always what was going

582
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: to happen, and there was no other way to avoid

583
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: what was going to happen. And the Republicans were going

584
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: to win in a landslide.

585
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: But they didn't win in a lance.

586
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't win in a landslide. And also if

587
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: they had just fucking you know, Kamala Harris at one

588
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: point was like leaning in a direction of like populism

589
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: and like criticizing corporations for greedflation, and then one of

590
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: her advisors was like, don't do that, what are you doing?

591
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: And then the weird thing went away. Also, so just

592
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what would have happened if they

593
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: didn't have exactly the wrong instincts.

594
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they should have leaned into the couch fucking thing

595
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: more like they should have been like dramatic commercials.

596
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: Body Double just looks like child hire Haley Joel OSMONCC.

597
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 5: Just fucking like they're like, man, we racked up a

598
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 5: lot of fines for area commercial, all right, It.

599
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: Is JD Evans couch fuck versus Luigi Mangioni on three

600
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: one two three?

601
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 5: Jad?

602
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 2: What yeah you think? Wow? Wait, is that who you

603
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: picked to lose?

604
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 6: No?

605
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 2: When who are you talking to?

606
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: I just convinced myself of the JD vance catch Fox

607
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: during the course of that. Wow.

608
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 7: Okay, I just I'm always gonna choose Luigi.

609
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: Miles and Bay chose Luigi. Did anybody else choose?

610
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: I chose Luigi?

611
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 4: Okay, moves on?

612
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: Luigi moves on? All right?

613
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 5: I mean I think that goes with that again. This

614
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 5: one guy has created so much class consciousness that the

615
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 5: media is absolutely fucking freaking out and many other people like, like,

616
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 5: how do we fucking not talk about any of this?

617
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: I speaking of past consciousness? Though? Have you read Hillbilly

618
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: ellogy Man?

619
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 9: He literally made like a glitch in the in the matrix,

620
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 9: you know what I mean?

621
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 7: Luigi Like, so, I can't, I can't, I don't know.

622
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 4: I just think the image of a guy fucking couch

623
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 4: is funny, of course.

624
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 5: Yea too.

625
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, though, but think about like how he

626
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: would have done.

627
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 8: It, yeah, ouch, and a funny you know, a Barca

628
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 8: lounger would be funnier.

629
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ricky was that the video, the pretty Ricky video

630
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: where those guys all fucking couch an automan, they're like

631
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: showing their stroke game off.

632
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 4: You remember that?

633
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah teenagers? Anywow, So we have the finals.

634
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: Yep.

635
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,479
Speaker 1: It is Glasgow versus Luigi Mangioni. Yep, and any final

636
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: words Glasgow.

637
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 5: I think they're they're they're both powerhouses in their own right.

638
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 5: Glasgow being an encapsulation of like popular culture and everything

639
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 5: that's happening and how we love to.

640
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: Laugh at scams and all that shit.

641
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 5: The Luisi Mangoni I think is like incredibly revealing about

642
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 5: like the state of America. How suddenly there's bipart is

643
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 5: in agreement over someone dying, but also then everyone talking

644
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 5: about their hatred of the American healthcare system.

645
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: And what that's done. Very powerful for us.

646
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 5: I guess now it's kind of like we're deciding what's

647
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 5: like the story that like really for like damn, that

648
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 5: was such a year that was and that goes to

649
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 5: Glasgow or it's like holy ship this was.

650
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: I think that was the other reason too with the election,

651
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: where like, of.

652
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 5: Course the election is the biggest story because it's our

653
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 5: most consequential.

654
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what happened.

655
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's something about Burrito and like a Bridgerton thing

656
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: in the election.

657
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: And then the Luigi story, I think is just I

658
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: don't know.

659
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 5: I find it very very interesting personally, and I think

660
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 5: like most people do. We've talked about it plenty on

661
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 5: the show.

662
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: Do we do fun? I don't know. I look at

663
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: one the other.

664
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 7: Thing, the Glasgow versus Yeah.

665
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: It is, and that's what getting to the championship. I

666
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: will just say this is the This is not the

667
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: Time magazine story of the year. This is the daily

668
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: zeitgeist story of the year. Tournament of champions that doesn't

669
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:07,959
Speaker 1: I'm not saying weeks I don't get Yeah, yeah, and yeah.

670
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,479
Speaker 1: Is it the story the biggest story? Is it the

671
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: story that we deserve as a second rate podcast.

672
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: Bias to a certain extent to the Luigi mang Is

673
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: it possible?

674
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: Question? That is a good question. Do I want to

675
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: cast a like have the champion be something that the

676
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: listeners didn't get a chance to vote on. I say

677
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: yes because I despise our listen. Now I'm just joking. Yeah,

678
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's there. They're two very different stories

679
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: very powerful for different reasons. Uh, guys, I'd love to

680
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 1: have both of you win. Unfortunately, only one can win.

681
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: It is Willie Wanka Glasgow versus Luigi Mangoni.

682
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

683
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: Oh you know what. Yeah.

684
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 3: One thing that could potentially, uh make the Willy Wonka

685
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 3: story less appealing is the people that tried to turn

686
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: it into a musical with like John Stamos. Remember that.

687
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 3: To me, that almost kind of ruins the joke when

688
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 3: you remember that, take it and make it like funny.

689
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: It's like it was already funny.

690
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 2: You don't need to wait.

691
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 7: They wanted to use the warehouse.

692
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: No, no, they made it.

693
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: I think it was like a fringe, a fringe of.

694
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 4: Broadway. Yeah, it was like a wouldn't fringe?

695
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: Would I didn't even know that.

696
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so it's like it was already like this,

697
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

698
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and live musical that takes inspiration from the disastrous

699
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: Willy Wonka inspired event in Scotland.

700
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm so confident nobody's ever going to know about anything

701
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: that comes of that that I'm I'm all right discounting it.

702
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: But okay, god damn Stamos. That is that is tough

703
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: to discount. All right, we're gonna do on three.

704
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 2: Wait, I don't know I'm going to vote for yet.

705
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 5: All right, everybody say, hey, look, take a second. If

706
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 5: you need to pray, go ahead, and you discuss that

707
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 5: with whoever you need to.

708
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 3: Can I have the length of the old America's Funniest

709
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 3: home videos?

710
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? Yeah? Where Like everybody's like, all right, lock

711
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: in your answer. And when I say, this is you?

712
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: Is this what you want to be? You deserve to

713
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: be in blue? You knew.

714
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: Time to vote one?

715
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: Two, three?

716
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

717
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 7: I kind of take it back what you say?

718
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: What I said?

719
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 4: Glasgow, Jane, What did you say?

720
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: I said, Luigi.

721
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 4: Victor? Would you say I said, I said Luigi. I'm

722
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 4: trying to say.

723
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 5: Luigia.

724
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: He'll hear this. O.

725
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the champ is here. The winner is Luigi MANGIONI

726
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: came through stormed in. My only thought. The reason I

727
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: voted against him, and I hope he's not mad at

728
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: me same I is that I felt like Willie Walka

729
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: Glasgow is the story that twenty twenty four deserved.

730
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 7: It's just it's got a scammy nature.

731
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: I love nature of it was kind of what I

732
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: was thinking, so.

733
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 5: You're saying right right before you dropped your ballot and

734
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 5: actual actually actually actually I know and you went Glasgow.

735
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 2: No, that's I never changed.

736
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hadn't had mine. It's but we just wanted

737
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: to go down on your permanent record.

738
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just gonna put that.

739
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 9: Well, my heart goes to Luigi MANGIONI always, because you know,

740
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 9: it's my heart will go on. Yeah, because you know,

741
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 9: he is just power to the.

742
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 7: People, you know.

743
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 9: But but the Glasgow, it was just there's just this

744
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 9: underground scammy feeling that I that I think kind of

745
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 9: represents TDZ.

746
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: So would it.

747
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 3: Change things if you found out that Luigi Mangoni was

748
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 3: also the one who pushed Jay Leno down that hill.

749
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: That's another one that might have made the list if

750
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: it had happened before. Yeah, I think it probably would

751
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: have been in there. Anyways, this has been our first

752
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: story of the year Tournament of Champions. I'm really happy

753
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: with how it went. I really appreciate all the listeners

754
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: who contributed votes and who contributed stories. I really appreciate

755
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: everybody who got on MIC to just bare their heart

756
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: and soul about what they thought was the most important

757
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: stories that happened this year.

758
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 4: I did just realize something. I'm so sorry.

759
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 8: People contributed stories and we just threw all those stories

760
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 8: out to give Luigi Mangioni the best story of the year.

761
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: I did. I did say that before we voted, and

762
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: you can blame me. That was part of the reason

763
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: I thought a vote for Glasgow as a vote for

764
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: the Zeit Gang, because zike Gang, You're always in my heart,

765
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: but Miles you know, doesn't doesn't care.

766
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 5: Look, I saw a lot more of Luigi Ak's than

767
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 5: I did Willy Wonka Ak's.

768
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: That's that's definitely you know what I mean.

769
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 2: Definitely it did something.

770
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: It did something.

771
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: It even got me a quote in Jacobin, So hell yeah,

772
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: I'll take that.

773
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: Did you really? Yeah?

774
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: I think someone listens to the Daily Zeitgeist.

775
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 5: It's like in an article like last week, someone remember

776
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 5: Zitgang showed me and I was like, oh, yeah, I.

777
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: Didn't know that. I would have voted for Mangioni. Man,

778
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: that's fine.

779
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: Just like I said, y'all were always against.

780
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: Me getting quoted in Jacobin. Goddamn it was.

781
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: It was straight out like something that I said on

782
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: the show. So I was like, okay, shut up to

783
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: you well again.

784
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: I love you.

785
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they said, as Miles Gray said on

786
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 2: the podcast The Daily Zeitgeist, and then.
