Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Zeit
Speaker 1: The Beam you Sacra Trendo King's courtesy of Jeff Chrisco
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I am Jack you like that is the
Speaker 1: geist child?
Speaker 2: The guy this legitim this is legit.
Speaker 1: Guy's child is Miles is midfeeding right now. Just giving
Speaker 1: him the ship out of out of this thing.
Speaker 3: And you'll hear tomorrow the whole. I did the episode
Speaker 3: with him as well. It was real fun.
Speaker 2: And but I will say this, as a society, we
Speaker 2: need to be giving a minimum fucking like twelve weeks
Speaker 2: off fucking parents at a minimum. It's wild like her
Speaker 2: majesty gets more because she's in a union, but it's
Speaker 2: like you got to be in a fucking union to like.
Speaker 3: Get that kind of guaranteed time off.
Speaker 2: Anyway, all that to say, shout out the parents every time.
Speaker 1: And shout out to the guyst child are unbelievable, all right.
Speaker 1: Super producer Brian was making fun of me for my
Speaker 1: outrage heading into this episode over a story that I
Speaker 1: can't believe is not front page news, Like I started
Speaker 1: googling around for it. I was like, well, surely you
Speaker 1: guys covered this. When I was out.
Speaker 4: Very little we didn't.
Speaker 3: No, we didn't. And like I said, don't call me Shirley.
Speaker 1: Subway has pasta. I saw the ad overbreak, and so
Speaker 1: I think I just like, for some reason this.
Speaker 4: TV TV ad.
Speaker 1: I think it was like on the Women's Final Four,
Speaker 1: like they just put put an ad out, like yeah,
Speaker 1: Subway has pasta now, and it's just straight up pasta,
Speaker 1: not like a pasta salad, not like a side of
Speaker 1: pasta salad. It's straight up there, like we're.
Speaker 4: Olive garden now.
Speaker 1: And it is so strange to me that we as
Speaker 1: the body politic, have not rejected this like a bad transplant.
Speaker 1: I find it so upsetting and that like.
Speaker 3: It feels like they've just jumped the shark. It's like
Speaker 3: you don't know what you're doing anymore.
Speaker 1: You're doing It's I don't know why. It doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like it should be the sort of thing that doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense to me, like supers or Brian was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they of course, like all you need is
Speaker 1: like very cheap ingredients. You already have a bunch of
Speaker 1: the ingredients on site, and yet it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: Delis are known to have pasta. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know why, but the Subway having pasta really upsets me.
Speaker 4: Doesn't know.
Speaker 1: Itause I always suspect that, like all of Subway's ingredients
Speaker 1: are like very synthetic, and I guess that would be
Speaker 1: easy to pull off as a pasta too, But it
Speaker 1: just feels like Subway is very is so limally in
Speaker 1: what you're.
Speaker 3: Saying because the food is so fake.
Speaker 2: How dare they go for something like pasta that is
Speaker 2: like real normal food?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: I even multiple meatball subs from there. Why wouldn't I
Speaker 1: expect a place that serves meatball subs to pasta. I
Speaker 1: have no explanation for why this is so upsetting to me,
Speaker 1: but I assumed when I was out for two weeks
Speaker 1: that this was the only thing you guys were talking about.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, I can't wait to come
Speaker 1: back and hear miles of subway pasta takes verer dos.
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for coming on the daily day guys. Man,
Speaker 2: what the bus is going on.
Speaker 1: At the Kennedy Center. I couldn't help but notice that
Speaker 1: during your acceptance speech, you didn't mention Subway having pasta
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 2: And I know Narendramodi basically threatened you with jailing because
Speaker 2: of your your speech about the two Indias. I just
Speaker 2: felt like there was maybe a little room for you
Speaker 2: to bring up the very real issue of positive subway.
Speaker 3: But anyway, no, I'll good.
Speaker 4: I'll good, I'll get No.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not here to tell you how to
Speaker 1: do your job, but I'm saying if I was you,
Speaker 1: that's what I just giving me.
Speaker 4: Ideas for free. So all right. Uh.
Speaker 1: Trump released some new NFTs featuring him crossing the Delaware.
Speaker 1: That was the only one that really stuck in my brain.
Speaker 2: I love seeing though, how they did like the little
Speaker 2: George Washington p tail like with him, and he's got
Speaker 2: kind of like this long version and it is kind
Speaker 2: of it's funny, that's it's like this long haired version.
Speaker 3: I feel like mine would be longer, even longer and
Speaker 3: actually if.
Speaker 4: Luxuriant.
Speaker 3: Despite him using like a monocular kind of thing. Is
Speaker 3: that what you call that?
Speaker 2: Like just the one because I find no? Oh is
Speaker 2: that also a monocle, like the like the half of
Speaker 2: a binocular? Oh?
Speaker 4: I think those are called telescopes.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, yeah, that makes sense. That's me just using
Speaker 2: my non Latin degree to be like and that is
Speaker 2: a monocular.
Speaker 4: Look through my monocular.
Speaker 2: Good man, come close, son, we're gonna look at the stars.
Speaker 2: Do my monocular we called a telescope.
Speaker 1: Shut it.
Speaker 4: You make me look.
Speaker 3: In front of my boss again. And then this one
Speaker 3: is like kind of a this is a Aerosmith trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think the bandana on the mic stand
Speaker 2: is very Stephen Tyler.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, that's him rocking out.
Speaker 1: Way too few bandanas on the mic stand to be
Speaker 1: Stephen Tyler.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, you play you're playing a less Paul Like, dude,
Speaker 2: come on, dude, like if you're really rocking, like I
Speaker 2: can already tell.
Speaker 3: What you're playing because you got that less pat.
Speaker 2: I'm not throwing shade at that, but the that's the
Speaker 2: plus Paul.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think you do. You go harder Trump.
Speaker 2: Oh and then they took the same one then put
Speaker 2: him on a motorcycle while playing a guitar.
Speaker 4: It's very all ship like they just straight up took
Speaker 4: that image and.
Speaker 1: Put it on top of a motor a motorcycle between
Speaker 1: facial expression.
Speaker 2: Then the worst one, which is like brute force photo
Speaker 2: shopping his head onto like a way fitter dude's body,
Speaker 2: but he's serving up clip art of barbecue, like a
Speaker 2: grilled food on a plate. Like it's all weird clip
Speaker 2: art mashed together in this one.
Speaker 1: These are all hilarious circumstances to imagine Donald Trump in Yeah,
Speaker 1: on a boat, on a small boat, trying to cross
Speaker 1: the Delaware at night, under cover of dark, quietly but.
Speaker 2: Holding your telescope, holding your monocular as I say, like
Speaker 2: at a weird angle, like even a weird.
Speaker 4: Angle, yeah, to suggest through it.
Speaker 1: It's all for effect, right, But I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: him get get on the guitar, get on the mic,
Speaker 1: and do a little rockabilly thing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's like you want to hear blackbird?
Speaker 2: Get it over?
Speaker 1: Trying to play a guitar while riding a motorcycle.
Speaker 4: And then, for whatever reason, the one that I.
Speaker 1: Feel like he would have the most trouble with is
Speaker 1: trying to work a grill. Oh yeah, pair of slats
Speaker 1: in the backyard with a dog right next to him.
Speaker 1: I feel like that would freak him out. I feel
Speaker 1: like he would try and kill that bug.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing where like his humiliation that
Speaker 2: like over and not being able to use a grill
Speaker 2: would lead to like right wing takes and like cooking
Speaker 2: ink for men even if you're barbecuing right, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like, what what about like pit masters and American
Speaker 2: man should have no no, sorry, that's not by America.
Speaker 4: Hell no, uh, Frank Ocean. We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's just I just wanted to bring it up because
Speaker 1: the weirdest rumor that I had heard in the aftermath
Speaker 1: was that he was supposed to have designed the concert
Speaker 1: around a giant skating rank in the middle of the
Speaker 1: desert and then had like scrapped it last second.
Speaker 4: And it turns out that is true.
Speaker 1: Like that seems to be the one that has come
Speaker 1: through as like what actually happened, which I'd love to
Speaker 1: see that. I wonder if that's that's maybe what we'll
Speaker 1: see second week, that would be cool.
Speaker 3: He shows up, right, I don't know. Part of me
Speaker 3: seems like is his ego so damnaged at this point?
Speaker 3: Like what does he do?
Speaker 1: I mean, if he saw that York show, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: he's maybe he comes through. I haven't seen it, but
Speaker 1: I've read descriptions of it, and she had a full orchestra.
Speaker 1: She was wearing a chain link fence, among other things,
Speaker 1: and it just sounded wild. She like finished the show
Speaker 1: by like entering a giant hamster ball and just like
Speaker 1: leaving stage. But it just sounded People said it was
Speaker 1: like so maximalist and incredible and just like everything you
Speaker 1: would want.
Speaker 4: So Alex g.
Speaker 1: That was the only Coachella set that I streamed, and.
Speaker 4: It was dope, let's take a quick break, We'll be
Speaker 4: right back, and we're back.
Speaker 3: We're back. That's me kissing my baby, not Jack.
Speaker 1: I remember when you used to give me baby kisses
Speaker 1: when we were in the same place, and I remember.
Speaker 2: I said, look, Jack, things are going to change when
Speaker 2: I become my daddy. You know you're not You're no
Speaker 2: longer a baby. You're no longer baby who gets the
Speaker 2: baby kisses.
Speaker 4: And I've been practicing my little baby noises and they
Speaker 4: voice is too deep.
Speaker 1: Dude, voice just sounds like I'm burping or just like moaning,
Speaker 1: like oh what everything all right?
Speaker 4: They're all right.
Speaker 1: CBC's Twitter account got branded with the Elon Musk government funding,
Speaker 1: but he said seventy percent government funded media. He put
Speaker 1: that label on because they object to the fact that
Speaker 1: they made it sound like they were fully government funded.
Speaker 1: But then he was like, actually, you know what would
Speaker 1: be epic if I changed it to sixty nine percent.
Speaker 1: So I did that, and then he continues to When
Speaker 1: reached for comment for a media story, he always.
Speaker 4: Responds with the poop emoji. So it's just it's like.
Speaker 1: The that's what she said thing, whereas like a thing
Speaker 1: that is objectively you know, funny. People came up with
Speaker 1: it and did it in the first place. Now sucks
Speaker 1: and we'll never be able to be used again, uh forever.
Speaker 3: Because you ruined sixty nine for us.
Speaker 1: The Homer Simpsons assassins sneakers or I guess is it
Speaker 1: is it ned Flanders. I feel like I said, I've
Speaker 1: seen ned Flanders.
Speaker 3: That is the reason Homer is put on.
Speaker 1: Like once them they're like these Nike assassins with the
Speaker 1: attack line joined the conspiracy. This was an early episode.
Speaker 1: This was season two of The Simpsons.
Speaker 3: And it's from season two.
Speaker 4: Oh damn, that's what it says.
Speaker 1: Also, the footwear design is like pretty accurate too today.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm having a really hard time believing that
Speaker 1: this was season two.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, but if you think of so many
Speaker 2: shoes now, like there's there's like five sneaker designs that
Speaker 2: came out by like nineteen ninety's to this day like timeless.
Speaker 2: So like I'm not you know, because it looks like
Speaker 2: it's half of like the Bo Jackson air traineris. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's like they're kind of combining a lot of different things.
Speaker 1: Anyways, you can now buy those from a company called
Speaker 1: Retro for one hundred and eighty dollars, which of course
Speaker 1: there are five people who got to buy it for that,
Speaker 1: and now the reselling market takes over and they're presumably
Speaker 1: going to be thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, it is interesting how they did it.
Speaker 2: It looks like what they're using is a knockoff air.
Speaker 3: Jordan four soul.
Speaker 2: Interesting, like if you look at if you look at
Speaker 2: the actual sneaker that that is based off of, that
Speaker 2: lower half is the air Jordan four mm hmm with
Speaker 2: like the little Ridge like little Shark fan before the bubble.
Speaker 3: Look, all right, this doesn't have to be like sneaker. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's this podcast.
Speaker 1: But what you're saying, they actually don't look like the
Speaker 1: ones that Netflanner, or at least not what the ones
Speaker 1: Ned Flanders was rocking in the episode. Made me think
Speaker 1: of it just looks like a Jordan three Jordan four
Speaker 1: body with like some embellishments.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but hey, look for those of us who are
Speaker 2: Simpson's brains like you and I, I mean, I like
Speaker 2: the idea, but the shoe doesn't look enough like the
Speaker 2: fucking ones and the thing that I'm getting.
Speaker 3: Excited, Yeah, I wouldn't buy these the Sirhan Sirhans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they look like shit.
Speaker 1: Super Mario Brothers appears to be ready to join the
Speaker 1: one billion dollar box office club. Wow, it earned eighty
Speaker 1: seven million dollars in its weekend, which is pretty incredible,
Speaker 1: and like, you know, the first weekend was way more
Speaker 1: than people expected, but like also the second weekend.
Speaker 4: Is way more.
Speaker 1: Even after the first weekend, people are like, well, it'll
Speaker 1: drop this much and that's just in the US. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was just but I don't know, I saw people
Speaker 1: like av Club was like, if the Mario movie makes
Speaker 1: a billion dollars, we might really be screwed. And they're
Speaker 1: basically saying that this is our future now is just
Speaker 1: all terrible video game movies already?
Speaker 2: Do these people actually are they looking at the entertainment
Speaker 2: industry like there's so many video game movies or like
Speaker 2: the Last of Us just came out that it's I
Speaker 2: think pretty well known that the studios are looking at
Speaker 2: video games as ip and they're like, Hey, those come
Speaker 2: with built in fan bases that we can just crank
Speaker 2: out the numbers with if we do it right. So
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's necessarily the thing, but it
Speaker 2: also sounds like the take of someone who doesn't like
Speaker 2: realize that, like it's not because they're going to be like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, Mario Super Mario doing well means any
Speaker 2: video game film is going to do well. We're talking
Speaker 2: about the most fucking recognizable video game character, like all.
Speaker 4: Of all time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they say, quote if this damn thing breaks
Speaker 1: the billion dollar mark, the Delusia. I thought this was
Speaker 1: going to be a damn metaphor, but no, the deluge
Speaker 1: of gaming fleg bullshit that's going to start spewing out
Speaker 1: of Hollywood is going to be truly unimaginable. But like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it feels like we've gotten two things
Speaker 1: that are the best adaptations of video games, like or
Speaker 1: at least the best mainstream with the Last of Us,
Speaker 1: and now this seems to I don't know, people seem
Speaker 1: to really enjoy this, and the thing that they did
Speaker 1: with it was just make it almost straight up a
Speaker 1: like a less story more just like fun things from
Speaker 1: the video game. Right, So if I would imagine that
Speaker 1: they like might have figured some things out here and
Speaker 1: video game movies might get better. Video game movies were
Speaker 1: going to happen regardless. Yeah, they've been.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, there was a fucking Max Payin video
Speaker 2: game movie with fucking Mark Wahlberg in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: I remember, and I was like, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: see that shit. But again, because it's not the like,
Speaker 2: the most recognizable character, there's just.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's so funny. This take is just
Speaker 3: very odd to me.
Speaker 1: Like well, and also like that movie didn't seem like
Speaker 1: it had that much in common with what I would
Speaker 1: want if I liked that video game, Like, would I
Speaker 1: want just a straight up action movie starring Mark Wahlberg
Speaker 1: as a guy with the same name as the shooter
Speaker 1: that I liked playing, you know.
Speaker 3: Right right right? Hey was that bullet time though?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, well, those are some of the things that
Speaker 1: are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We were back tomorrow
Speaker 1: with the whole lest episode of the show until then,
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
Speaker 1: the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we
Speaker 1: will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Fight Bye, m
Speaker 2: M hm
