Speaker 1: knew it. Everyone was like, did you watch it? Did
Speaker 1: you watch him? Like, I'm gonna do that now, And
Speaker 1: I made my baby watch too, because it's an important
Speaker 1: moment in history, is as West Coast you know, la people,
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, it was just fucking yeah. I was
Speaker 1: just I couldn't like be more giddy watching every single thing,
Speaker 1: trying to pick it apart. Also, like I was watching
Speaker 1: all these threads of like a lot of the dancing
Speaker 1: he was doing obviously, like he was doing like the
Speaker 1: Hotlon bling like guitar Drake shit that like Drake does.
Speaker 1: Kendrick was doing that. And there's another way he was
Speaker 1: doing some shit like this with his fingers and another
Speaker 1: person like that's from a TikTok video where he's like
Speaker 1: dancing with like a child. Dude, I saw that good.
Speaker 2: How crazy is that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Hello the Internet and welcome to three.
Speaker 1: I said three forty six. I meant to say season
Speaker 1: three forty six. It's season three forty six, Episode one
Speaker 1: of the Daily Data, the Daily Guys. Look, I've had
Speaker 1: coffee on an empty stomach and I've been just watching
Speaker 1: the Not Like Us video on a loops. I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit gassed up. Okay, Uh. It's still a production
Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio. It's still the podcast where we take a
Speaker 1: deep dive into america shared consciousness. It's Monday, July the eighth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. This is the episode where we tell
Speaker 1: you what was trending over the weekend. I'm obviously Miles
Speaker 1: G in The Place to Be, and I am joined
Speaker 1: by my co host, my guest co host, part of
Speaker 1: my cohort, m O rt B in the Place to Be,
Speaker 1: Mort Burke. Welcome, Mort Burke, Thank you for joining me.
Speaker 3: What's up, dude? Thanks for having me. Man, it's like
Speaker 3: to be here. Yeah, this is fun.
Speaker 2: Happy h four days since the Kendrick video drop.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, d day plus four I think is what
Speaker 1: we call that. Yeah, it's everybody in you know, everybody
Speaker 1: in town. They they're loving the video, they're loving parsing
Speaker 1: through all the visuals. I mean that goes without saying.
Speaker 1: I think one of the big things that trended at
Speaker 1: least music was the Kendrick Lamar not Like Us video. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I recommend people watch it. Uh yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's just a it's a perfect response. And it
Speaker 1: was like he's doing too much and it's like he's
Speaker 1: he hasn't even been really talking publicly. He just does.
Speaker 1: He just makes big events out of it.
Speaker 3: He's actually doing a relatively small amount of stuff. It's
Speaker 3: just so well done that it's talked about at an incredible.
Speaker 2: Level because it's such powerful stuff.
Speaker 3: When the drake look like gets pull yanked away space
Speaker 3: for because that was truly to me, that's the part
Speaker 3: of the video that's truly frightening.
Speaker 2: That's like the creepiest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I wasn't expecting wire stunts like the
Speaker 1: Matrix or like Crouching Tiger, but the way that goon
Speaker 1: and the bottle and the in the sisty was trying
Speaker 1: to creep up on Kendrick and got sh look because
Speaker 1: sometimes just have to pop out, you know. But we
Speaker 1: are certified Boogeyman because we used to pick our buggers
Speaker 1: as kids. That's the closest we'll get to that one.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about what is going on in our lives.
Speaker 1: This is the Trending episodes, so we'll tell you what's
Speaker 1: going on. But first we got to catch up with
Speaker 1: things that are underrated and overrated in our lives. Moret
Speaker 1: guest goes first, what's something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Sarah, you know, oh underrated? I got a
Speaker 2: fun one. Underrated the moon?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, go on a people are talking about the moon.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The moon is a silvery spaceship that exists in thy
Speaker 3: hundreds millions of miles away from us. I'm no scientist,
Speaker 3: A very far away that just floats in space and
Speaker 3: gives a silvery romantic light, changes shape throughout the month
Speaker 3: gave us. The calendar is like a perfect metaphor for
Speaker 3: romance and awe and joy boy.
Speaker 2: We should just talking about the moon.
Speaker 3: I'm saying thank you twenty three seven thousand miles I
Speaker 3: said hundreds of.
Speaker 1: My twenty three seven two thirty Yeah you got hey,
Speaker 1: I'm out here, I'm out here in these streets twenty
Speaker 1: three seven.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm whatever the opposite of a of a physicist is,
Speaker 3: but anyway, yeah, that's mine under age.
Speaker 1: Did you have like a moment where you like looked
Speaker 1: at me? My god, damn man, look sleeping on the moon.
Speaker 3: I'm a fair, fair skinned gentleman, and the sun can
Speaker 3: be a lot for me. So I've always been in
Speaker 3: what I call a night boy and I love I
Speaker 3: love the moonlight, dude. I just feel better at night.
Speaker 3: It's it's peaceful, it's I just love the nighttime.
Speaker 1: I love the mood. And tell me you've never danced
Speaker 1: with the devil in the night. I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure. I just want to make sure. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: moon fantastic. I love it whenever it does that thing
Speaker 1: where it looks a lot bigger to our eye and
Speaker 1: then you try and take a picture of it on
Speaker 1: your phone and your phone's like, fuck out of here,
Speaker 1: You're stupid. It's an optical illusion. It's not that fucking big.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, ah, I thought I was gonna show
Speaker 1: my mom something really cool.
Speaker 2: But does this thing on.
Speaker 3: The West coast too or more so than I noticed
Speaker 3: anywhere else where. As it comes up from the horizon,
Speaker 3: it is it looks giant, like huge and yellow, orange
Speaker 3: or whatever stuff. It feels like you're in a really
Speaker 3: interesting sci fi movie when that happens.
Speaker 1: My underrated dioramas. Okay, now hear me out because I
Speaker 1: know this is a hot take a bit by a diorama.
Speaker 1: They're basically the Dollhouse of historical displays, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like they're intricate. They give you a real
Speaker 1: slice of life, an entire tiny world contained in an
Speaker 1: enclosure a fraction of its true size. So I love history.
Speaker 1: It's what my semi useless degree is in. And growing
Speaker 1: up I loved going to likeic history museums, looking at
Speaker 1: all the items and imagining how they were used. And
Speaker 1: I can't believe, like a fucking so and so is this.
Speaker 1: I can't believe the British government stole this and won't
Speaker 1: give it back. That's so tight to me. But the
Speaker 1: dioramas I loved. If if a history museum ever had
Speaker 1: like a sort of in action diorama moment that was
Speaker 1: so much more engaging because you got to see how
Speaker 1: like everything actually was used, like a piece of equipment
Speaker 1: or a ceremonial outfit whatever. And so recently I went
Speaker 1: to the Natural History Museum in La Uh and my
Speaker 1: little baby fucking lost it looking at the dioramas because
Speaker 1: they have of like all the different animals. They have
Speaker 1: like a like an African mammal exhibit and like a
Speaker 1: North American mammal exhibit, and they're all like these great
Speaker 1: scenes like where it's fucking full size elephants, a giraffe,
Speaker 1: you know, fucking lowland gorillas, everything like in all these
Speaker 1: different dioramas, and in that one, like it's great because
Speaker 1: at a zoo you can't get like super close and
Speaker 1: be like I'm three feet away looking at like what
Speaker 1: a entire like a gray wolf's body face looks like,
Speaker 1: and they're moving. You can't always like get the same
Speaker 1: level of simulation. But with like my kid, he just
Speaker 1: pulled right up and he just like was just pointed,
Speaker 1: was like ah. I was like yeah, man, I'm like
Speaker 1: they and they don't move and they won't hurt you,
Speaker 1: so like just enjoy it. Also whenever I don't know
Speaker 1: if this was like standard, like you remember like in
Speaker 1: elementary school when you first start doing book reports, was
Speaker 1: there ever did you have like a creative component you
Speaker 1: also had to do so like you had to do
Speaker 1: a book report plus like a poster or a mobile
Speaker 1: or a diorama. I don't know if this tracks. This
Speaker 1: might be unique to my school.
Speaker 2: I think if I went to a better school, I
Speaker 2: think that probably would have happened.
Speaker 3: That sounds like a wonderful kind of education or like
Speaker 3: just please read the book, dude.
Speaker 1: Please, yeah, or anything you want. I remember, I would
Speaker 1: like every time if the diorama was the option, I
Speaker 1: was making a diorama. I fucking suck at like crafts,
Speaker 1: Like crafting is not my fucking forte at all, But
Speaker 1: I always wanted to do a diorama and I would
Speaker 1: always get so bummed out because like there were kids
Speaker 1: whose parents clear really fucking helped them make them, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, my mom won't let me use a
Speaker 1: hot glue gun, so it's scotch tape and shitty gluestick
Speaker 1: stuff in here.
Speaker 3: Also, like, is your dad a diorama expert? How did
Speaker 3: they make these incredible spostures?
Speaker 1: I think just people are craftier and my mom's super crafty.
Speaker 1: But she was also like, you have to live and
Speaker 1: fail on your own, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 1: those are the like you you need to fuck up,
Speaker 1: to learn, to be inspired, to want to do better,
Speaker 1: because if I keep, if you keep you know, auditioning
Speaker 1: it to me, like John Stockton, I'm not gonna be a.
Speaker 2: Please Kendrick references.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also a side note, you your beautiful little child business
Speaker 3: made us sound like an adorable little Frankenstein When.
Speaker 1: He's I'm trying to like figure like you know, it's
Speaker 1: comes out like boo or a bird, because he like
Speaker 1: everything's a bird now except for the you know, or
Speaker 1: for dogs. He just goes. Also another reference to the Kendrick.
Speaker 1: You showed him the video and he was like, we connated, okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah he got a battle wrap.
Speaker 2: He's trying to uh diss other little babies.
Speaker 1: I know, for someone who could barely lead normal walk,
Speaker 1: he can crip walk with the best of them. I
Speaker 1: thought he was. It's because I show him a lot
Speaker 1: of ot Genesis videos. You know there was a period.
Speaker 3: Where there was all those foreign babies who are really
Speaker 3: good at dancing.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that.
Speaker 3: It'd be like there's like from Different we need we
Speaker 3: do need a little baby crip walk.
Speaker 1: We need baby crip walk video. I mean, yeah, where's that? What?
Speaker 1: Gah Kendrick does. If there's a kids bop. Look, there
Speaker 1: was the kids Bop version of Not Like Us, so
Speaker 1: there's got to be the kids bob video version.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, there was. There was a kid's bop version
Speaker 2: of wop.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's all.
Speaker 2: Wings and Pizza. It was called that's we are Not Protecting.
Speaker 1: It was oh wow, wow, okay.
Speaker 3: Because when those kids grow up and they if that's
Speaker 3: like a like a sweet little part of your childhood.
Speaker 3: And then you grow up and you learn what the
Speaker 3: original song was, don't you feel a little bit betrayed.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna look at wings and pizza the fucking
Speaker 1: same way at all.
Speaker 2: Ruined wings and pizza for you.
Speaker 1: Certified lover boy, certified tattletale, it's like one of them,
Speaker 1: because a lot of people did their own, uh sort
Speaker 1: of parody kids bop versions. Anyway, what is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated?
Speaker 2: In and out? Go on, in and out. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: First of all, they have the politics of Chick fil A,
Speaker 3: which means that they decided, hey, we make hamburgers, we
Speaker 3: should probably get to decide if gay people get married.
Speaker 2: That feels like a logical.
Speaker 1: Or split spread the word of God on every cup
Speaker 1: you you purchase.
Speaker 3: Even that I'm a little bit fine with because it's like,
Speaker 3: all right, I believe be live in your shit, but don't.
Speaker 2: Infringe on mine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you four out of ten restaurant, that's what that's.
Speaker 3: Other things like, not only is it, there's their politics reprehensible.
Speaker 3: The food is like straight down the middle fine, and
Speaker 3: everybody acts like it's the greatest.
Speaker 2: All their French fries tastes like they were wet an
Speaker 2: hour ago.
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, man, those fucking the fries you dropped
Speaker 1: in that bucket? How are they like? They're still in
Speaker 1: the sun. Man, give them like twenty more minutes. I
Speaker 1: think they'll be okay.
Speaker 2: Are you missing with these? With the with the machine
Speaker 2: and the grocery store that missed the vegetables like.
Speaker 1: A love pleasant way, I'm not gonna lie. I love
Speaker 1: a saggy fry. That's my whole thing. I'm depraved. Oh
Speaker 1: I love them, love them, love a fucking mushy, shitty,
Speaker 1: soggy fry. And I do love that about in and
Speaker 1: out is that you can order them to disrespect yourself,
Speaker 1: like like they call them light fries to get them
Speaker 1: super fucking soggy. But to your point, the burgers are
Speaker 1: not that great. The fries aren't that great. I mean
Speaker 1: animal fries great. It's like, well they put the toppings
Speaker 1: on the fries. But I think it's like one of
Speaker 1: those things too, where it's like just because shit is
Speaker 1: popping off in CALIFORNI or and You're like, it creates
Speaker 1: this mystique for everyone else. They're like, oh my god, dude,
Speaker 1: in and out the same thing with like, you know,
Speaker 1: any regional fast food, Like I'll build it up in
Speaker 1: my mind and then I have and I'm like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fucking it's just whatever.
Speaker 2: So that's a good point. It's probably the rarity of it.
Speaker 3: So like if you're vacationing here, you associate that with
Speaker 3: your fun beach time visits California.
Speaker 2: So it's like it's got the magic of Cali on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. A friend of mine who like, like I grew
Speaker 1: up with in La he lives in Texas, and I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: what about what a burger man? What about He's like, dude,
Speaker 1: He's like, it's fucking It's like a jack in the
Speaker 1: box man. And I was like, oh shit, because like
Speaker 1: people act like they'll fucking go to war for that.
Speaker 1: They're like, I don't know, man, I don't know what
Speaker 1: the fucking fuss is about. And I'm from shitty in
Speaker 1: and out Land, where we know what overrated shit is.
Speaker 1: So there's that, Yeah, overrated for me. Expensive popsicles hmm.
Speaker 1: You know, the warm weather means it is popsicle season.
Speaker 1: I like to I like to enjoy a popsicle here
Speaker 1: in there. And over the last few years, there's like
Speaker 1: I've seen such an explosion of like high minded popsicles
Speaker 1: on the market, and I gotta say it's the ones
Speaker 1: that are the cheapest are still truly the best ones.
Speaker 1: I don't mind if your thing has like organic fruit
Speaker 1: and or whatever. That's fine, like that's its own thing.
Speaker 1: But like a good popsicle is supposed to be filled
Speaker 1: with flavor that is so artificial that like we still
Speaker 1: have no idea what actual cherries taste like. And that's
Speaker 1: my thing. Like the ones that are like the orange
Speaker 1: and red swirled ones sometimes are like pineapple cherry. It
Speaker 1: depends on like they always say, it's like it's mango chair.
Speaker 1: Who knows who the fuck it is? Anyway, those are
Speaker 1: my favorite. That Otter pops with like going the plastic perfect,
Speaker 1: don't need anything else. Ten out of ten we start
Speaker 1: doing more. It's it's it's not necessary. I'm not to
Speaker 1: say that I won't enjoy a nice, new fangled popsicle
Speaker 1: or like a Paletta, which is obviously like probably the
Speaker 1: best version of a pop so we can get. But
Speaker 1: for me, you're going to the store, save your money,
Speaker 1: get whatever the store brand shitty ice on a stick
Speaker 1: candy is, because that's that's what tastes like summer to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I need the opposite of nutrients in my
Speaker 3: in my popsicles, you know what I mean. There's stuff
Speaker 3: like there's stuff chicken nuggets, what you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: tater tots.
Speaker 2: They just kind of don't.
Speaker 1: Need to be improved upon.
Speaker 3: They're like a simple taste that reminds you of your childhood,
Speaker 3: where you were, where you were being food neglected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right, right right. It's like when when everything
Speaker 1: came out of a big plastic bag that had Tyson
Speaker 1: written on it. I used to eat so many like
Speaker 1: Tyson reformed chicken breast patties that were like Karaoki flavor,
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, this chicken's good. And then
Speaker 1: like as I got older, You're like, it's not even
Speaker 1: like those aren't real pieces of chicken that exist in
Speaker 1: the body. It's like reformed like rib meat. I'm like,
Speaker 1: well then great, h that's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a Saw style horror show of yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: grotesque manipulation.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a chicken rib though? Uh no,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Okay, So there's there's like parts
Speaker 1: of the chicken, like a chicken back rib that you
Speaker 1: can that it's like probably one of the best parts,
Speaker 1: like most under I should have said this for my
Speaker 1: fucking underrated it's one of the most it's one of
Speaker 1: the most underrated parts of the chicken that like you
Speaker 1: can use. They like I went to a spot that
Speaker 1: was frying them, and they the way the meat comes
Speaker 1: right off the rib bone delicious. I don't know where.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you have to buy a whole
Speaker 1: chicken or whatever, but I'm sure you could probably, Like
Speaker 1: I don't I wonder how many butcher shops you go to, Like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: can I just get the rib cages?
Speaker 2: Is it a little tiny rib? It's a chicken sized rib?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just check my chicken ribs. Man, chicken ribs.
Speaker 1: I had them in Japan. In Japan because everything it
Speaker 1: really is, you know, the whole whole animal cookery or
Speaker 1: it's like, dude, there's meat on it. Figure out a
Speaker 1: way to individualize the ribs and make a little me
Speaker 1: a lot of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, you've never had anything as good as
Speaker 3: like a chicken head where you're like eating the cheeks
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, oh yeah, that's like the first time I
Speaker 1: had like a whole hog and they're like, no, man,
Speaker 1: it's the cheek, the fucking the face you want to eat.
Speaker 1: I'm like really, and then you like this that's yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like I wish I didn't know the specific kind
Speaker 3: of part of anatomy that this thing is.
Speaker 1: You got to you know, that's our responsibility. I gotta
Speaker 1: be like, I'm eating your face, and I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3: Working in restaurants, all the chefs were like super psychos.
Speaker 3: I turn around and they'd be like waving a pig's
Speaker 3: head in my face. I'm like, you're you're You're one
Speaker 3: step removed from like a true serial killer with this.
Speaker 1: Sh right, It's like, but my hours are so crushing.
Speaker 1: I don't even have time to be a cereal all I'm.
Speaker 2: On right now, like I can't. I'm on so much
Speaker 2: bad speed, I can't help.
Speaker 1: I don't know anymore. Yeah, tell hey, man, tell them,
Speaker 1: we're fucking closing the kitchen down in ten minutes. Man,
Speaker 1: I can't. I gotta go. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We're gonna be right back, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about some news that's trending. And we're back. So
Speaker 1: all kinds many things happened over the weekend. Not only
Speaker 1: was we had Hurricane Beryl touchdown in Texas. I think
Speaker 1: millions of people are currently without power, So I hope
Speaker 1: everyone's doing okay as much as they can be given
Speaker 1: that situation. We also had a lot going on in
Speaker 1: the world of politics, obviously because the presidential election is nigh.
Speaker 1: So on, we'll start off with Trump, then we'll go
Speaker 1: to Biden, then we'll work our way around Trump. So
Speaker 1: on truth social aka lies that take about twenty seconds
Speaker 1: to depunk, debunk social thanks for the delivery to completely
Speaker 1: nail that. Trump posted that he knows quote nothing about
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five and thinks that some of it
Speaker 1: is quote rediculous and abysmal and when he's using words
Speaker 1: like abysmal, you know that's not really him writing, because
Speaker 1: he does not ever, I mean, I don't think he
Speaker 1: even uses that in terms of like his own legal jeopardy.
Speaker 1: But he also said I wish them luck and but
Speaker 1: I have nothing to do with them, which is very,
Speaker 1: very absurd. For those of you who I think, I mean,
Speaker 1: we feel like we've screamed enough about Project twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: we are going to have an episode where we talk
Speaker 1: a little bit more in depth about it. This is
Speaker 1: like the Heritage Foundation's like road map of how they
Speaker 1: want to fundamentally change American governance and do away with
Speaker 1: many of the things we consider norms. And it's like
Speaker 1: just basically a fucking weird ass manifesto slash blueprint for
Speaker 1: you know, how they see things going when Trump takes
Speaker 1: the White House. Now, it's interesting that he says I
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with them, because Trump implemented nearly
Speaker 1: two thirds of the Heritage Foundation's policy recommendations in his
Speaker 1: first year as president. Not only that, his own fucking
Speaker 1: super pac has been screaming about it, so fuck out
Speaker 1: of here with all that, Donald Trump, and if you
Speaker 1: look at the people that are involved. At least seven
Speaker 1: RNC officials who are working on the party's platform quote
Speaker 1: in anticipation of Trump's second term in office, have connections
Speaker 1: to Project twenty twenty five. Russell Vott, who's not some
Speaker 1: you know auxiliary tertiary character on the Boys, was quote
Speaker 1: director of the Office of Management and Budget during Trump's administration.
Speaker 1: He wrote Project twenty twenty five's chapter on the Executive
Speaker 1: Office of the President. Gene Hamilton, who worked in Trump's
Speaker 1: Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security, wrote Project
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five's policy proposals for the next Department of Justice.
Speaker 1: So Trump claiming not to know the people behind Project
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five is like Ringo saying he has no
Speaker 1: idea who Paul McCartney is. Never Yeah, if he wins,
Speaker 1: great love that for him, but I don't know him
Speaker 1: at all. And even Steven Miller teenage mutant Ninja Gebels.
Speaker 1: He is leading a legal group that is on Project
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five's advisory board, and obviously he was like
Speaker 1: the face of Trump's immigration policy. Miller also appears in
Speaker 1: a fucking ad for the Project twenty twenty five presidential
Speaker 1: administration Academy, which we had covered in a previous episode.
Speaker 1: So it's very, very interesting, and I think this probably
Speaker 1: comes on the heels of the president of the Heritage Foundation,
Speaker 1: Kevin Roberts. He went on Steve Bannon's podcast and said
Speaker 1: that the country was undergoing quote a second American Revolution
Speaker 1: that will be bloodless if the left allows it to be.
Speaker 1: And that's when you're like, ah, yes, many people like
Speaker 1: he said the quiet part out loud, which is basically,
Speaker 1: you want to reorder American society and fundamentally change it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think he's doing his best to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I don't I guess that
Speaker 1: thing's bad. It's gonna be I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and it's hilarious to be like, oh, I've
Speaker 2: never heard of this thing, but I hope it goes
Speaker 2: really really well.
Speaker 1: I would go, I have nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2: I'm in full support of this thing.
Speaker 3: I have absolutely no knowledge or understanding about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they win, I'll be so happy for them,
Speaker 1: But I have nothing to do with it. That's okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: This does feel like part of like the campaign trying
Speaker 1: to address the constant attacks from Democrats about how the
Speaker 1: GOP is going to quote, you know, obviously fundamentally alter
Speaker 1: American governance of trumplins, which I believe is true. I
Speaker 1: think they could probably like it felt like with Project
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, it was like part like, let's get
Speaker 1: our base excited and hopefully we can stay somewhat under
Speaker 1: the radar. But enough people have begun to talk about
Speaker 1: it that now I think if it's I think on
Speaker 1: some level they realize it's hurting them with independence and
Speaker 1: they're they're like that's probably also why Marco Rubio was
Speaker 1: also out here giving comments like this, being like, no,
Speaker 1: this is like that's think tank stuff, you know, think
Speaker 1: tanks that write the legislation that I take into the
Speaker 1: halls of Congress.
Speaker 3: Right right, which in their defense, I'm sure it is
Speaker 3: just they tell me what to do. But you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying that they're like, oh, this is just
Speaker 3: the message from the boss. I don't even really pay
Speaker 3: attention to what goes behind the scenes. But also like,
Speaker 3: come on, man, you know exactly what's happening. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: totally appointed one of their people to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Like, let's not people, Yeah, are coming from the federalist society.
Speaker 1: They all work together again to completely alter you know,
Speaker 1: how things are done in this country.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know it's important that women aren't able
Speaker 3: to drive, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's just these kind of really legislatives.
Speaker 1: And also like no fault divorces, man, We got to
Speaker 1: get rid of these. Man, it's just way too easy
Speaker 1: for somebody to leave you for being a shitty husband.
Speaker 1: Just don't like it.
Speaker 3: Don't like that's so funny because it's such like a
Speaker 3: divorced guy angry, like very divorced man thing to be.
Speaker 1: Like, we got to make.
Speaker 2: Sure they can't just leave us because they.
Speaker 1: Find out who we really are, right, It's like how
Speaker 1: like a lot of like erotic thrillers like in the
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties were clearly written about dudes about like
Speaker 1: made up women like and then she like bones me,
Speaker 1: but she's nasty and dangerous, like this is some divorced
Speaker 1: dudes fantasy in the script and this and so is
Speaker 1: this the Project twenty twenty five And a lot of
Speaker 1: the new planks of the party that they're trying to
Speaker 1: roll out are also fantasies of divorced weird guys. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I think it also like there's you also see Trump
Speaker 1: sort of like not he's being really wishy washy on
Speaker 1: things like a total abortion band and like like obviously
Speaker 1: the evangelical base like demands this, but I think it
Speaker 1: also helps Trump just like with him being like I
Speaker 1: don't know about Project twenty five twenty twenty five, to
Speaker 1: also be like in open conflict with people that are
Speaker 1: perceived as extremists, like that's good for his optics to
Speaker 1: be like, well not that far obviously, but but also
Speaker 1: like winking at them. He's like, no, I don't like
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Obviously, I don't think I think that's
Speaker 1: a bismil. Yes, that's no abysmal. Abysmal.
Speaker 2: So the person who uses three syllable words all the time,
Speaker 2: that's a bhizmail.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, it's abys mail. Uh. So, yeah, we will
Speaker 1: see where that's going. But yeah, there's definitely there is
Speaker 1: also like some infighting happening on the right part of it.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm cynical about because this is what
Speaker 1: Republicans do. They come out with the most heinous, fucking
Speaker 1: version of their ideas as like a weather balloon, and
Speaker 1: when people go, Jesus fucking Christ, are you fucking seriously,
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: It's like just thirty percent of what we were saying.
Speaker 1: And then people like, oh, thank god, which is still
Speaker 1: fucking awful. But that's just how they kind of reset
Speaker 1: the Overton window for people's outrage. So yeah, we'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Well s the convention is soon,
Speaker 1: so we shall see. Moving on to Shoe Biden. So
Speaker 1: on the other side of the aisle, we have a
Speaker 1: guy that is literally holding on for dear life to
Speaker 1: save his campaign. Joe Biden had some crunch talks with
Speaker 1: Democratic governors, congress members, donors, fucking anyone that will listen
Speaker 1: to let them know that. As we were speculating, like
Speaker 1: is he going to be in? Is he out? What's
Speaker 1: he gonna do? He said at the end of last
Speaker 1: week and again this morning, he's like, I ain't going
Speaker 1: fucking anywhere. He wrote a letter to any of his
Speaker 1: A few of his detractors, specifically five members of the
Speaker 1: House on the Democratic side who have openly called for
Speaker 1: him to step down. Quote, we had a democratic nomination
Speaker 1: process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively. The
Speaker 1: voters of the Democratic Party have voted, they have chosen
Speaker 1: me to be the nominee of the party. Do we
Speaker 1: now just say this process doesn't matter that the voters
Speaker 1: don't have a say, ah, babe, it was never that.
Speaker 1: It's not really. We were only left with one option.
Speaker 1: The DNC sort of things up to make sure that
Speaker 1: there was no one else that would run against you. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, I get I get that argument, but that's
Speaker 1: sort of not the situation we were put in. Everybody
Speaker 1: was saying like this, we need unity, we gotta stand
Speaker 1: behind the president. He's gonna do it again. And this
Speaker 1: is what is happening now. And meanwhile, like a number
Speaker 1: of Democratic lawmakers and major donors are grumbling behind the
Speaker 1: scenes and giving like anonymous comments saying that Joe should
Speaker 1: step down. So the energy, the appetite for him to
Speaker 1: reconsider his future is there. Whether or not that happens,
Speaker 1: we will see. It's it's still still early days for
Speaker 1: to understand what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, man, yep, we'll see.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know, it's just a very very strange,
Speaker 3: extremely odd and someone and of course somewhat frightening situation.
Speaker 3: That's what we got in our hands. And Bryan said, yeah,
Speaker 3: he said, only God can convince me not to run,
Speaker 3: which is risky. Yeah, that's what he's really dare in
Speaker 3: the universe.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm not a I'm not a god person, but
Speaker 1: those aren't those aren't good words for someone that is.
Speaker 3: The thing that could stop me would be a series
Speaker 3: of strokes.
Speaker 1: That's right, right, Yikes, yikes, yikes. Yeah, it's just it's like,
Speaker 1: to your point, it just feels it's fucking odd. It's
Speaker 1: unsettling for hearing to hear all this stuff about like
Speaker 1: this is the fucking election of our lives. This is
Speaker 1: the election of our lives. And it's like, don't worry, man,
Speaker 1: this guy that we're keeping together with Elmer's school school
Speaker 1: glue and fucking you know cheese, it's he's gonna fucking
Speaker 1: deliver this. It's just it. You just you can't help
Speaker 1: but be like, man, the DNC, you're really fucking up here,
Speaker 1: whether that was just going all in on Biden and
Speaker 1: scaring anyone away or not holding him to his own
Speaker 1: words when he was really saying it's like I'm not
Speaker 1: really here to stick around forever. I just want to
Speaker 1: create a bridge to a new generation of leaders.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also like, you better bring this thing home, man,
Speaker 3: if you're like refusing to consider any other options that
Speaker 3: look to be more serviceable to the entire setry.
Speaker 1: And I think it's a little too easy for Democrats
Speaker 1: to be like, we just need someone else, because the
Speaker 1: problems that are facing the Democrats, or at least like
Speaker 1: the President in this next election are not just merely
Speaker 1: about who the candidate is. It's about what the party
Speaker 1: is standing for and what the policies are just across
Speaker 1: the board. So merely putting another person in I don't
Speaker 1: think I mean that that helps assuage a lot of
Speaker 1: people's fears about like is this person physically and mentally
Speaker 1: capable and executing the maintenance of the status quo and
Speaker 1: not really doing anything to move the needle forward. That's
Speaker 1: like its own thing. So they continue to wring their hands.
Speaker 1: But there is a plan that's been floating around DC,
Speaker 1: and it comes from two very seasoned Democratic optatives, Rosa
Speaker 1: Brooks and Ted Dintersmith. They've been floating this plan around
Speaker 1: DC for what they consider could be the optimal transition
Speaker 1: to another candidate in hold on to your butts, folks,
Speaker 1: because it's bat Well. I'll let you decide. I'll let
Speaker 1: you decide so quote. This is from NBC News. The
Speaker 1: proposal lays out several key steps, beginning with Biden announcing
Speaker 1: that he will exit the race in mid July in
Speaker 1: a quote speech for the Ages Jesus Christ quote overnight,
Speaker 1: Biden is hailed as a modern day George Washington, not
Speaker 1: an octogenarian clinging to power. With a thirty seven percent
Speaker 1: approval rating. This is from the fucking proposal from Goat
Speaker 1: to Hero, which is odd because like the way we
Speaker 1: use goat nowadays is that you want to be the goat.
Speaker 1: But I guess they've been like bad goat, You're a goat.
Speaker 1: Now now you want to be the hero. The next
Speaker 1: phase of the plan is quote a blitz primary, where
Speaker 1: prospective Democratic candidates submit their bids and delegate and delegates
Speaker 1: to the National demo Ccratic National Convention Ultimate and where
Speaker 1: they will ultimately narrow the list down to six contenders.
Speaker 1: This is where it gets really good, folks. The hypothetical
Speaker 1: accelerated primary would involve a massive social media content campaign
Speaker 1: to engage voters, including forums between the candidates moderated by
Speaker 1: celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, or Stephen Colbert. Brooks
Speaker 1: and Dinter Smith's vision ends with delegates voting on the
Speaker 1: final nominee at the DNC, which would theoretically benefit from
Speaker 1: boosted viewership and donations from the viral hype of the
Speaker 1: preceding Blitz primary. Rosa Brooks herself has conceded that she
Speaker 1: is not a political strategist, so this proposal, She's like,
Speaker 1: it's more of a living document. It's more of like
Speaker 1: a vibes thing, even though we're talking about something really
Speaker 1: serious like switching out the presidential candidate the zero fucking hour.
Speaker 1: But she said a lot of people have reacted positively,
Speaker 1: although a lot of people have all so said things
Speaker 1: like this is literally not possible or going to happen.
Speaker 1: Are you okay? I don't know, man, I think were
Speaker 1: these people just thinking, like they just named three celebrities
Speaker 1: that they thought were like really cool. It's like Oprah,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift and Stephen Colbert. Yeah, but so dude, it's
Speaker 1: so weird.
Speaker 3: It's like the Hollywood thing they're they're always like, you know,
Speaker 3: who'd be good for this, the most famous person alive.
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, you're a oh wow, what a genius.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would consider the person who would get easily
Speaker 3: get the most views of the person we should bring in.
Speaker 3: Like what a what a profoundly untalented choice to make.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, right, just that you should lose I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: If you ever suggest Oprah for anything, you should lose
Speaker 1: your job. I don't. I don't care. It's like that
Speaker 1: that's such a nineties fucking perception of like Oprah and
Speaker 1: fucking Oprah Man. Like remember when you signed that huge
Speaker 1: deal with ABC. It's like, are you still living in
Speaker 1: that fucking world? And I get that there are people
Speaker 1: who love Oprah Winfrey, but like that's not that's not
Speaker 1: like how you're gonna convince people about, you know, existential threats.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it is who knows if Oprah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 3: I totally like the other there's other part of me
Speaker 3: says like, yeah, this could work.
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, Like we're so fucking lost right now. It's
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, yeah, fuck it or just fuck it?
Speaker 1: Why do you have Oprah and Taylor Swift run? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Your fucking geniuses that it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: They already like broke the damn of like getting this
Speaker 3: weird reality star loser in the race, and he did great. Right,
Speaker 3: so it's like, all right, yeah, Art of War style,
Speaker 3: you guys broke all the rules, which was smart, right,
Speaker 3: It was so stupid it was smart, So let's also
Speaker 3: be dumb.
Speaker 2: Oh you know.
Speaker 3: And also like, I don't know, I who would I
Speaker 3: trust to be honest with me, Oprah or Trump?
Speaker 2: I'd go Oprah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to think. I mean, even though you know,
Speaker 1: Oprah's also told a bunch of lies, you know too.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people didn't know they had
Speaker 1: to pay the taxes on those Pontiac sunfires. They won
Speaker 1: that one episode, they thought they were getting a new car,
Speaker 1: But can you afford the licensing title fees? Well then
Speaker 1: maybe might have to give that thing back because oprahin't
Speaker 1: paying for it. All right. Oh and also there's like, anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't fucking Oprah, just the fact that she platforms
Speaker 1: so many fake ass doctors like doctor Oz and doctor Phil. Right, right,
Speaker 1: in a way, I'm like, yeah, you know what, you're
Speaker 1: perfect for office, Oprah.
Speaker 3: You you actually are, right, I mean, there are there
Speaker 3: are people who are like just good at being famous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's sort of where we're at now. The
Speaker 1: red button for Democrats it should be Dolly Parton.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah you think so.
Speaker 1: I just for some I'm like, I'm like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm ready. I'm ready for Dolly Parton. I don't
Speaker 1: even it's so fucking bad, you know, just for god.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 3: Look, she's got the heart, she's got the melody, she's
Speaker 3: got the track record.
Speaker 1: She's got she loves butterflies.
Speaker 2: He loves butterfly, and who doesn't.
Speaker 3: She's got that weird, that southern like late sixties glamour
Speaker 3: that is, you know, poison making, the Radstones and all
Speaker 3: that ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, we'll uh, we'll see, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3: All of these segments are ending with it like a
Speaker 3: pretty exhausted yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. That's and that's where we're gonna be
Speaker 1: until fuck man, I don't even want, like I said, November,
Speaker 1: take your fucking time. I'm like already, just but I
Speaker 1: have like I'm getting like random like gray beard hairs
Speaker 1: from just existential strepp or it's aging. I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know one of them, I'm gonna I'm gonna blame
Speaker 1: it on the election, not the fact that I'm nearing
Speaker 1: forty every day. All right, well, let's take another break
Speaker 1: and we'll be back, and we're back Boeing. That's always
Speaker 1: gonna be good news. They actually look. On Sunday, it
Speaker 1: was announced that Boeing a read to plead guilty to
Speaker 1: fraud charges related to this seven thirty seven max jet
Speaker 1: crashes that killed three hundred and forty six people. So
Speaker 1: this allows the aerospace giant to avoid a trial, which
Speaker 1: is nice. That's great because we don't need all this
Speaker 1: these documents coming out and people understanding what went wrong
Speaker 1: and how things were thought about, and also any legal
Speaker 1: accountability for the hundreds of people that died due to
Speaker 1: the companies negligence and fraud. Wa wait, under the deal,
Speaker 1: they face a five of up to four hundred eighty
Speaker 1: seven million. But then the Justice Department was like, well,
Speaker 1: they get they should get a credit for the two
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three million they paid for this other thing,
Speaker 1: So well, let's call it two hundred and forty three
Speaker 1: million is the new fine. And also an independent compliance
Speaker 1: monitor would also be installed to oversee compliance at going
Speaker 1: for three years during a probationary period, and the company
Speaker 1: also has to invest at least four hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: five million in compliance and safety programs. But now the
Speaker 1: company is technically a felonious entity, and I'm curious what
Speaker 1: that means for their their doings, their business doings with
Speaker 1: the federal government. Well, if this deal is accepted by
Speaker 1: a judge, it could, according to reporters, complicate Boeing's ability
Speaker 1: to sell products to the US government as a felon
Speaker 1: though the company could seek waivers. About thirty two percent
Speaker 1: of boeings nearly seventy eight billion dollars in revenue last
Speaker 1: year came from its Defense, Space and Security unit. So
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that the United States government would
Speaker 1: be like, well, I mean, we love what you do
Speaker 1: with killing people generally, So what's a little felony charge
Speaker 1: between us lovers of death?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Uh, Well, dude, I mean it is a what the
Speaker 3: the hilarious hubris to put a price on human life
Speaker 3: and then do a little fudgeon to get a little
Speaker 3: get it down a little bit lower is a wild move. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you'd be like, actually, all right, we're going to fifteen
Speaker 3: percent off this death.
Speaker 1: Fine, yeah, well you did make a deposit earlier, so yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll credit that. Like it's like you're checking out of
Speaker 1: a hotel, like, so you didn't use your resort credit,
Speaker 1: and you know what, we're one of the few places
Speaker 1: we'll refund that. We'll give you that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you ate the.
Speaker 3: Cold em and ms out of the mini fridge. Two
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty people died. All Right, we're gonna we're
Speaker 3: gonna round.
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you call it? What do you want
Speaker 1: to call it? Like three million? Yeah? Okay, great, great
Speaker 1: you guys there, that's like low enough for you guys,
Speaker 1: right sure, sure, yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh you guys read in a movie too? All right,
Speaker 2: well we're not gonna enough.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah what'd you watch?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Four?
Speaker 1: Oh transform it? Oh both.
Speaker 2: A fun night you guys.
Speaker 1: Have you ever bought a movie in a hotel like
Speaker 1: pay per view?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: I don't think I have, Actually, no.
Speaker 1: I feel because the cost is so exorbitant, Like every
Speaker 1: anytime I've like I remember as a kid, I remember
Speaker 1: one time being like can we get this? My parents?
Speaker 1: Like the fuck are the twenty bucks? No? Fuck out
Speaker 1: of here?
Speaker 2: Not gonna watch the never ending story for forty dollars.
Speaker 1: Damn it? All right, what about this hot teachers hotter students?
Speaker 1: I think it's like an adult thing. Noah, okay, I
Speaker 1: think it's important.
Speaker 3: I hate it when the teachers are hotter than the
Speaker 3: students I find out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I love I love my poornos to
Speaker 1: have a little bit more like equity in the hotness
Speaker 1: of you know, the two sides of the performers. In
Speaker 1: retirement news, John cenap He has announced his WWE retirement.
Speaker 1: He's going to be retiring in twenty twenty five, but
Speaker 1: he also announced that he'll be part of a Raw
Speaker 1: like part of Raw because it's going coming to Netflix,
Speaker 1: so he's not going to miss that huge moment and
Speaker 1: will going on be going on a fucking farewell toward that,
Speaker 1: as he says, dozens of dates and an epic final fight.
Speaker 1: He shirt fans quote, thank you so much. It's for
Speaker 1: letting me play in the house that you built for
Speaker 1: so many years. Vince McMahon, Oh, I don't know if
Speaker 1: he mentioned that part. He says, this farewell, it does
Speaker 1: not end tonight. It is filled with opportunity. Everybody. Raw
Speaker 1: makes history next year when it moves to Netflix. I've
Speaker 1: never been a part of raw Netflix. That is history.
Speaker 1: That is a first, and I will be there, so
Speaker 1: he's going to be around for a little bit. But
Speaker 1: like it feels like he's like not going anywhere at all.
Speaker 1: Like he's in a ton of movies. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: he was like in a episode of the new season
Speaker 1: of The Bear, which critics called they found it quote distracting.
Speaker 1: But I have not seen I have not seen that
Speaker 1: what John Cena is like on The Bear.
Speaker 3: But yeah, shit, he's like he's just flexing and screaming, yes, chef.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. He's like, oh yeah, just fucking breaking melons
Speaker 1: with his bare hands or some shit.
Speaker 3: Well, and also like he's trying to follow the Rocks thing,
Speaker 3: but the Rocks actually the Rock actually had.
Speaker 2: To leave wrestling first, right, Like I feel like you
Speaker 2: gotta you gotta do one or the other. You can't
Speaker 2: you can't have a feet in both. These can't have
Speaker 2: all these fingers in different pies.
Speaker 1: But man, how tall is John Cena?
Speaker 2: That's my floor eleven?
Speaker 1: He feels like not like because the Rock is like
Speaker 1: six four or something, you know what I mean. So like,
Speaker 1: but John Cena feels like like sort of like a
Speaker 1: more accessible Let's see, he's six one, all right, that's
Speaker 1: what I have.
Speaker 3: That's like that, You're like, he looks like a normal
Speaker 3: sized man, like no, no, no, he's seven to one, he's
Speaker 3: six three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he looks like a baby, yeah next to guys.
Speaker 2: That's why I love. He looks like a muscly baby,
Speaker 2: which is my favorite kind of baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think. Look, I think he has like comedic chops,
Speaker 1: like he was great in blockers. You know, I just
Speaker 1: don't I think he has probably a different lane than
Speaker 1: the Rock, who can only do one note.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it is Yeah, with these like wrestling superstars,
Speaker 3: they're definitely to get at that level. I think you
Speaker 3: do need a certain kind of charisma that he definitely has.
Speaker 2: I'm just still I just still.
Speaker 3: Can't believe they're not required to kiss in these wrestling matches.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that makes sense, right, Hey, don't you.
Speaker 2: Feel like they're always threatening to hook up?
Speaker 1: I mean, wrestling is quite homo erotic, I must say, but.
Speaker 2: That's how I think all the tension comes from.
Speaker 3: Is like these guys just might straight up slop, just
Speaker 3: make out right now.
Speaker 1: Just kiss John Cena for your final match. Yes, kiss
Speaker 1: and make it normally like look, man, fucking sexual out.
Speaker 1: It's a spectrum, dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, normalize that shit.
Speaker 1: Bro, I got kids and shit like that. But this
Speaker 1: guy's objectively hot, all right, and my wife. I cleared
Speaker 1: it with my partner. It's okay that we did a
Speaker 1: little smooching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, move on. The relationship up with the pile Driver
Speaker 2: is a standing sixty nine.
Speaker 1: That's true. That is true. That is true.
Speaker 2: It's boiled up and wearing tights just.
Speaker 1: And then the more you know, graphic comes across the
Speaker 1: screen and I was like, I should consider that. I should
Speaker 1: consider that. He's also hosting Shark Week this week. So
Speaker 1: John Cena, you look your agents, they know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: You're working, You're fucking working. And finally, a few I think,
Speaker 1: like a month or two ago on the show, we
Speaker 1: talked about this AI Beauty pageant that was happening being
Speaker 1: put on by a company called Fanview, which is basically
Speaker 1: trying to be like the only fans for artist like
Speaker 1: AI created influencers to do god knows what, and so
Speaker 1: they're like, we're putting on like a Miss World AI
Speaker 1: Beauty pageant and like they paid like people from the
Speaker 1: pageant world to act like this was a serious thing
Speaker 1: and not at all like a stupid, dumb, fucking just thing.
Speaker 1: Way to normalize AI and pretend like this is like
Speaker 1: a good like no, man, it's great, it's chill. Look
Speaker 1: at these beautiful make made up women we created for
Speaker 1: you to rank and rate. So the competition went down
Speaker 1: last week and a winner has been crowned. Meet Kenza
Speaker 1: Lalley from Morocco. She is a Hijabi and an activist
Speaker 1: from Morocco, created by some tech exec in Morocco, and
Speaker 1: he just won twenty thousand dollars I guess for creating
Speaker 1: this made up lady. She even gave a really rousing speech.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 4: I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to represent AI
Speaker 4: creators and to advocate passionately for the positive impact of
Speaker 4: artificial intelligence. This journey has been a testament to the
Speaker 4: power of innovation, collaboration and raising standards to shape our future.
Speaker 4: Winning Miss AI motivates me even more to continue my
Speaker 4: work in advancing AI technology. AI isn't just a tool,
Speaker 4: it's a transformative force that can disrupt industries, challenge norms
Speaker 4: and create opportunities where none existed before. I firmly believe
Speaker 4: that AI has the potential to revolutionize industries.
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't take any more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really horrifying.
Speaker 1: The video is like of a terribly animated This is
Speaker 1: like the woman that was created Kenza, and she's doing
Speaker 1: like the most like generic hand gestures and her mouth.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't think she's speaking any specific
Speaker 1: language because they're just like, I don't know, just get
Speaker 1: that fucking mouth appearing. It looks like what you say,
Speaker 1: like men, men, men, men, My mama, min min men,
Speaker 1: I'm mama. Yeah, no pronunciation whatsoever, just slight mouth and
Speaker 1: lip movements.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she for sure.
Speaker 3: She she has the essence of a person who is
Speaker 3: being held by a terrorist organization.
Speaker 1: Yes, but right she.
Speaker 3: Is gesturing, you know how when they like if they
Speaker 3: teach monkeys to kiss.
Speaker 2: Like the monkeys don't know how to kiss. They're just like.
Speaker 1: Going, they're just recreating what they saw the humans. You're like,
Speaker 1: now do this and they're like okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Like her without it, her all of her gesturing is broad, weirded,
Speaker 3: in no way matches the words.
Speaker 1: That's alien I think would be the question alien and confusing.
Speaker 3: If this is not evidence of the fact that the
Speaker 3: word activist now no longer has any meaning. Congratulations, guys,
Speaker 3: you stripped the word activist of all value.
Speaker 1: All value to a point where a fucking digital picture
Speaker 1: is saying I'm so motivated now after winn No, you're
Speaker 1: fucking not You're a fucking picture.
