So word All is trending, has been 16 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: trending because people love playing it, but the New York 17 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: Times loves buying it. I don't know why. I just 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: want like bad newscaster on that one, but yeah, the 19 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: New York Times bought word All. Says the game will 20 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: initially remain free for existing players. Yeah. It feels very 21 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: like I'm not shocked. This makes sense to me that 22 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: this happened, but I felt like, wow, it happened so quickly. 23 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: Their acquisition team moved so fast. I feel like I've 24 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: only been hearing about word all like the past couple 25 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: of weeks, and New York Times is already like I 26 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: gotta have that one, mum, But it's evil The New 27 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: York Times already their paywall system is so crazy, so 28 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: it kind of sucks. I feel like for people who 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: really enjoy just like this game to get them through 30 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: their week now have to potentially start paying for it 31 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: amongst all the other weird subscription stuff. So you know, 32 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: capitalism and its finest yeah yeah, and also supposed to 33 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: be our most reputable journalistic institution, but they got the 34 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: capitalism bug. Good. Um. Tom Brady retired officially, and I 35 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: just want to read the last sentence of his retirement 36 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: statement because this feels to me like somebody who is 37 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: going to be retired for approximately six to seven months. Uh. 38 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: He said, My teammates, coaches, fellow competitors and fans deserve 39 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: of me. But right now, but right now, it's best 40 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: I leave the field of play to the next generation 41 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: of dedicated and committed athletes. Um but right now, that 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: that one's stuck out to me. So I know so 43 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: little about professional football. But how long has Tom Brady 44 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: been playing? A long time? Right? I mean I feel 45 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: like I've known about Tom Brady my whole life. Right. 46 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: Uh he's forty four retirement age, right yeah, yeah, way 47 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: way past retirement age, and he's still very good. He 48 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: had a very good season this year, um like not 49 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: even like uh like good for at four year old. 50 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: He had like a good season four Tom Brady. So 51 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: that's also a thing. Is I feel like it's a 52 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: nice it's a nice story, Like people get overtaken by 53 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: the narrative, like Michael Jordan did this where you know, 54 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: he went out on top after six titles and everyone 55 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: was like god, like, that's what's so perfect about Jordan's 56 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: career is he just like ended it at just the 57 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: right time. Um. But when the last memory you have 58 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: is you still being very good at the job and 59 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: then you're back in reality not having that sort of 60 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: thing that they're addicted to as like world conquering athlete, 61 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, that high I feel I feel like 62 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: that that Fox with you that ends up being a 63 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: hard thing to turn away from. So Jordan came back 64 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: and did the Wizards. A lot of people thought last 65 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: year when he left the Patriots and went to uh, 66 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, they were like, oh, this is gonna be 67 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: like the Wizard's thing with Jordans because he had a 68 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: bad season or like not not his best season towards 69 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: the end of the Patriots run and seemed like he 70 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: was on the decline. But then yeah, I had a 71 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: great season this year. So it's very confusing. He might 72 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: be a robot. Uh. Somebody told me he has cheek implants, 73 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: which is just fucked with me. Ever since I heard that, 74 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: I feel like that's a bad idea as a football 75 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: player time, Like what if if he got hit and 76 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: like just he had like one of his cheeks was 77 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: like on the side of his like neck or something 78 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: that would be very strange. People would be freaked out. Um. 79 00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: But anyways, nice quote retirement to Tom Brady uh and 80 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: to his family. Um. And then we haven't talked about it, 81 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: but the Super Bowl. We know who's playing in the 82 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, the game, the Big Game. Yes, sorry, oh man, 83 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: our legal team is gonna be so pissed at me. 84 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: There's a new fella everybody's talking about. I think it's 85 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: his second year in professional football, Joe Burrow. Uh So, 86 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: last year the Cincinnati Bengals won four games, mostly when 87 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: he was a rookie and their quarterback, and then he 88 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: got hurt and they lost most of the rest of 89 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: the games. Uh he came back this year and now 90 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: they're in the super Bowl. It's pretty it's a pretty impressive, 91 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: like you know, start to his career. He seems like 92 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: a dork to me, but like everybody, it's it's like 93 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: kind of cute because like everybody like wants to be like, oh, 94 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: he's so cool, and like they they called him Joe 95 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: Burrow because like he's so ice cold, and this is 96 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: not the same person that I saw go viral that 97 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: was like the l s U Tiger player who's oh 98 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: it is okay, Yeah, I got like one TikTok about it, 99 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: because I clearly am not on straight TikTok or football TikTok. 100 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: But it was like cancel Valentine's Day, and it was 101 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: like this like promo of him like smoking a cigar 102 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: in his like LSU Tigers jersey, and then it like 103 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: changes into his mangles to Jersey and I was like, wow, 104 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: this is I am not the demographic for this TikTok 105 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: people are very excited about. Yeah.

Like I'm like, I got that bundle 135 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: with Hulu. It's like ten dollars a month for Spotify Hulu.

That like Podcaster 142 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: that got put behind a paywall like that in the 143 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: sense of like a studio bought out a podcaster because 144 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: they were so successful, and I feel like they're just 145 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: reaping the political or not political, but the popular culture 146 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: takes down ramifications of you know, supporting someone they've put in, 147 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: you know, millions of dollars into you know, it's like 148 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: that's what they get for being like, Hey, we either 149 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: have to you know, choose to cut this loose or 150 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: we just continue swimming in the hole that we already 151 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: sunk ten million plus dollars in two or however much 152 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: it has been. Yeah, I mean it's uh. I do 153 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: feel like, like, I I love the artist doing what 154 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: they're doing. I do feel like, just in terms of 155 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: practical outcome, this is good for Joe Rogan's listenership probably 156 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: um because it's you know, the sorts of people that 157 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: he appeals to are just like seeing this and be 158 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: like they want to silence him, bro. And then also 159 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: well if if he does get booted off Spotify, like 160 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: that would just grow his listeners even more. Because so 161 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: that's it's a it's a tough one. I don't know 162 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: the yeah that that sort of stuff is always it's 163 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: always tough because I don't I don't know how much 164 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: it it helps, but I do like the artist's ability 165 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: to just be like, yeah, funk out of here. Um, 166 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: this guy's I'm Euphoria is trending, stays trending, stays trending 167 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: every day of the week.

Um. The title of the article 172 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: is why the Euphoria teens listened to Senet O'Connor, Tupac 173 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: and Selena. Um. It was an interesting read. I would 174 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: just say that, like, I do feel like episode four 175 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: felt like a glorified music video. It was gorgeous. The 176 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: songs are great. Do I feel like the storyline made 177 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: a ton of sense this episode? No, you know, I 178 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: think it's very clear that the writer's room is Sam levingson. 179 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: I think that's been a critique of every episode the 180 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: season so far, so you know, we'll see where it goes. 181 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: Is there a conclusion that it has that nineties soundtrack 182 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: because Sam Levinson is that's when he was a teenager. No, 183 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: I think the article was more highlighting the like maximalism 184 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: that the show is about, and how because it's not 185 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: just it's it's funny because the article does frame it 186 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: like it's, you know, eighties nineties music, but the show 187 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: bounces back between so many different genres and shades of music, 188 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: and it's like some of the scenes are meant to 189 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: make you feel like you are watching something that has 190 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: already happened. I think that was like very clear with 191 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: the way this episode was shot and the fact that 192 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: Zindia Ru was not narrating. She normally narrates every episode, 193 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: so I think it's supposed to be like a glimpse 194 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: into something that's already happened. But then there's scenes that 195 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: are like very present day that they're playing more today's music. 196 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: But it's just like it's all over the place this 197 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: season and this episode specifically, it was just a lot. Yeah, 198 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: I um, I don't. I've watched to the first two 199 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: episodes and then I was just like I didn't feel 200 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: good watching it, Like continue to watch it doesn't make 201 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: you feel good. I think that's like the whole point 202 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: of the show. I saw something that someone said like 203 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: Euphoria is a show for adults about teens, whereas something 204 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: like Degrassi was a show for teens about teens, and 205 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: then a show UM. There's like another show that they 206 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: said that was like a show that's um for teens 207 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: about adults. I don't remember what the third show was, 208 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: but I think that's true. Like I I don't believe 209 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: Euphoria is a teens show. I think it's very graphic, 210 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: it's very maximalist, is very exaggerated about all these you know, scenarios. 211 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: I think for some people it's a very real portrayal 212 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: of certain scenarios. It wasn't my high school experience. I 213 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: was a nerd. I do think there are nerd kids 214 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: living in a different universe and these popular kids. But yeah, 215 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: if you if you were saying before we recorded the 216 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: like the theater kids at that high school, like don't 217 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: know any of these people are like are not at 218 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: any of these parties? Like no, Like it's like I 219 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: was like a in the band kid Click, and there 220 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: were you know, of course kids it did drugs and 221 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: things like that, but like I would have never spoken 222 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: to a cheerleader in my life, Like like Maddie and 223 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: all them, they're beautiful, they're gorgeous, they're like, you know, 224 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: the like you were saying before we were started recording, 225 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: like the complicated jock, Like never, we wouldn't never cross paths. 226 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: We wouldn't even be in the same classes because I 227 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: was too busy studying from AP exams like that, different worlds, 228 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: like my mom would not let me out of the 229 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: house past a PM, Like I'm not living in the 230 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: same universe as these children. Yeah, why don't you just 231 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 1: gave your friend to pissing a cup for you so 232 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: your mom knows you're not doing drugs? Yeah, it does 233 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: feel like it. If I was in high school when 234 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: I saw this, I probably would have like drank and 235 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: did more drugs than I already did, which was too much. 236 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: And then yeah, it's it's also like if somebody's sober, 237 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: like it's not the best thing in the world. I 238 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, everybody can make their own decisions 239 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: and ship, but like, um, I don't know. Yeah, I 240 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: could just imagine like being in high school and like 241 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: that being somewhat aspirational. Uh. And also the thing with 242 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: like and again this is my review of the show, 243 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: having watched only two episodes, is like the yeah, like 244 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: the jock quarterback guy who's like abusive to everybody and 245 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: is like a real dick and like just a font 246 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: of h and like a super spreader of toxic masculinity. 247 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, but he's really complicated, and like that's why, 248 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: like you shouldn't judge that person so quickly. And it's 249 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: like I feel like we give that guy the benefit 250 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: of the doubt plenty in our culture. I think as 251 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: a young white boy that he gets plenty of benefit 252 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: of the doubt that he doesn't need anymore. I think 253 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: the biggest flag I've had the show, watching both season 254 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: one in season two is very clear the writings room 255 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: is a white man. Um is Sam Levingston. Like, I 256 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: think it's just the there are no POC characters besides 257 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: Ruin Maddie, you know, and it doesn't even really I think, 258 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: portray what it's like to be in a home of color. 259 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: Like I think Maddie feeds into a lot of stereotypes 260 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: that I don't super appreciate, Like she's like the crazy 261 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: Latina girlfriend who like will do everything and say anything 262 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: to get her way, and you know, rue, Like I 263 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: think if you have a black mom, I think most 264 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: people would say that she would not be the way 265 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: she is like written as. So it's just a very 266 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: interesting take. I think on kids of color, they're just 267 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: like especially the supposed to based in California, there's no 268 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: Asian students, Like, there's no other you know. That to 269 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: me is confusing. So I think it does affect the 270 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: way the characters are written. And his other work has 271 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: shown that too. He makes beautiful work. I think the 272 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: show is visually so stunning. Everybody is very talented at 273 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: what they do. But I do think like it could 274 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: stand to use a few more, you know, writers of 275 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: color in the room. All right, let's take a quick 276 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. And we're back, And 277 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: I mean the number one trending thing is Harry Styles 278 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: because it's his birthday. Uh birthday queries King Harry. Yes, 279 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: that's all we got. Um. Yeah, but you know, well 280 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: deserved if one person is going to have their birthday 281 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: be the number one trending thing. Fine. Uh, winter storms 282 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: come into Texas, which has not been great news in 283 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: the past couple of years. Yeah, so huge storm is 284 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: coming across the country, but it definitely supposed to hit 285 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: the South pretty hard. Um, specifically like areas like Dallas. Um. 286 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: I am very curious to see if Ted Cruz will 287 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: runaway to Cancun again. That's actually how I figured out 288 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: the storm is coming because Cancoon was trending and it 289 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 1: was people talking about that cruise fleeing to Cancoon for 290 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: this winter storm. So I guess, like for anybody in 291 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: the South Texas listeners, like make sure that you have 292 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: some salt in your driveway, just like try to get 293 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: up on some winter gear if you can. Just be 294 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: very careful because the infrastructure has not changed since I 295 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: think last year's winter storm. So you know, like stay safe, 296 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: don't drive if you can prevent it, get as much 297 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: provisions as you can, you know, make sure your pipes 298 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: aren't frozen, all the things. It's super scary out there. Yeah, 299 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: shout out to deregulation and the best. And then Ben 300 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: Simmons is trending as as usual. Well, but there's actually 301 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: a couple of details on this that jumped out to me. 302 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: Um the so I didn't I didn't he like the 303 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: reason he's trending, the trade deadlines coming up. He's still 304 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: not played a game for the seventy six ers, his team, 305 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: because he's met at the coach and the their best player, 306 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: for like kind of blaming him at the end of 307 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs uh last year, which was his fault. One 308 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: thing that was interesting is like he ignored texts from 309 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: the head coach that came in over the summer. But 310 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: that was like, but he didn't like really try. It's like, well, 311 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: you're not answering his texts, bro like it it seems 312 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: like if he wants to be traded, the best thing 313 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: for him to do would be to either play or 314 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: like not be loud about stuff. Because then like anything 315 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: where it seems like he's I don't know the any 316 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: anything that de values his trade value is not good 317 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: for him either. Um. But then also there's this detail 318 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: that like blew me away that he still has to 319 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: like show up to shoot arounds in film sessions. So 320 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: like I assumed he was just like in California or 321 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: something and like just being like fun this team. He 322 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: still shows up to shoot arounds and film sessions with 323 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: his team, and he's required to pay attention and stuff, 324 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: and he just like stays long enough to like collect 325 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: his paychecker avoid the fine and that's it, which is 326 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: wild because yeah, it's just it must be a very 327 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: like it's new levels of like awkward awkwardness around him 328 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: as a player, whether he like comes back and plays 329 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: for the sixers or you know, this real situation where 330 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: he's like having to um see his teammates every day 331 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, man, how's it going. Everything good 332 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: other than this whole thing. Yeah, um. Anyways, I will 333 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: uh judge from your silence that this is boring to 334 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: anybody who's not paying attention to the NBA, And it 335 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: is not boring. I just know so little that I 336 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: cannot have a formed opinion on it. I'm learning so 337 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: much from you, Jack right now. I just like I 338 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: truly I learned everything I do about sports from the 339 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: Daily Zeitgeist. And that is not a lie. That is 340 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: actually very factual. Everything I know about sports comes from 341 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: you and Miles. Yeah. Like from a broad perspective, I 342 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: think what's noteworthy is just like this is a All 343 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 1: Star player who's out with like hurt feelings. Basically like 344 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: he's like mad at his teammate and his coach and like, 345 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: understandably I've said like before, they did not handle it well, 346 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: but it just like has dragged on to the point 347 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: that it's like now a bad look for him and yeah, 348 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's like yeah, yeah, alright, well 349 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: those are some of the things that are trending on 350 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: this Tuesday, February.
