Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Mike
Speaker 1: and zeits or Raising Trends for Junior Men t DZU.
Speaker 1: These are Johnny Davis short show titles, as well as
Speaker 1: good and Trendy, which we already did, but short show
Speaker 1: titles comprised of candies that are always sold in rectangular
Speaker 1: boxes for some reason. Shout out to Johnny Davis on
Speaker 1: the discord. I am Jack and I'm thrilled to be
Speaker 1: joined by super producer Becca Robos.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Hello Becca.
Speaker 1: I really hate to say I told you so. And
Speaker 1: yet Little Mermaid character posters came out and we got
Speaker 1: to see Flounder, we got to see Scuttle, we got
Speaker 1: to see Sebastian. And these do not look like characters
Speaker 1: that I'm going to find adorable personally. They work ma
Speaker 1: that I'll be able to read emotion on the face
Speaker 1: of because they are totally realistic.
Speaker 3: Yes, especially Flounder. Flounder is the worst.
Speaker 1: Flounder looks like shit. Yeah, Flounder looks like if the
Speaker 1: cartoon adorable Flounder like grew up to have a like
Speaker 1: serious drug problem. I feel like, just very skeletal and
Speaker 1: dead behind the eyes. I doubt that that's a storyline
Speaker 1: that they've incorporated. I don't think that he will have
Speaker 1: a serious drug problem. I think it has more to
Speaker 1: do with the fact that fish are almost always dead
Speaker 1: behind me, Like fish don't have.
Speaker 4: Faces, terrifying a look at in reality. Yeah, I iconically
Speaker 4: hate underwater sea creature type things. I have a deep
Speaker 4: fear of the bottom of the ocean, slash the ocean
Speaker 4: in general.
Speaker 3: I am a terrified of drowning.
Speaker 4: I really like when I go to the beach to
Speaker 4: just sit in the sand and then take a little
Speaker 4: tip in the world, A little dip, that's about it.
Speaker 1: And that's a single toe. That's what are we talking about.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know, maybe I'll get out like enough
Speaker 4: to where I can stand and I'll like do a
Speaker 4: dunk and then come back.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not really fucking with the ocean.
Speaker 1: I went snorkeling recently, and just to tell you a
Speaker 1: story that you probably won't like, I went snorkeling, found
Speaker 1: myself like right above a coral reef, a lot of
Speaker 1: fish there, But as I swam, the water got like
Speaker 1: shallower and shallower, to the point that it was like
Speaker 1: just like inches away from me, and I like didn't
Speaker 1: want to touch anything. And it was this really terrifying
Speaker 1: like experience where I just had to like try it. It
Speaker 1: was like being Tom Cruise in that scene Emission Impossible,
Speaker 1: where you just have to like stay completely flat. And
Speaker 1: then I was like trying to swim with like my
Speaker 1: fingers just to like move myself out of there. I made.
Speaker 1: I made it with while only scraping myself a little
Speaker 1: bit and not like knocking anything over or touching a fish.
Speaker 1: But it was like a bad dream. It was very beautiful,
Speaker 1: very beautiful bad dream. But the fish they were not
Speaker 1: giving me much emotion. I was looking.
Speaker 2: I was I did this to observe.
Speaker 1: Up close, you know.
Speaker 2: I was hopeful.
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe I'm wrong about the Little Mermaid
Speaker 1: characters and the underwater sea creatures are going to be
Speaker 1: able to wow me with the riz. And I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, they just they did not raise me. They
Speaker 1: were just like, let's get out of here. This guy
Speaker 1: is an idiot.
Speaker 2: Let's see what else?
Speaker 1: What else?
Speaker 2: There's an article in mashed. Is this a thing?
Speaker 5: I know Mashable.
Speaker 1: I'm not not really familiar with Mashed, but.
Speaker 2: They let you know.
Speaker 1: They put together a list of mistakes everyone makes while
Speaker 1: ordering Popeyes. And there is something that I was able
Speaker 1: to take away from this. I didn't fully know that,
Speaker 1: Like I think I've had this thought process. It's in
Speaker 1: between meals, you know, it's like three o'clock, I've skipped
Speaker 1: lunch or something, and look, they have fast food right there.
Speaker 1: It's the perfect time to jump in there, no wait,
Speaker 1: hop in And they're saying that's a bad idea.
Speaker 2: You should.
Speaker 1: Actually fast food is meant to go fast and meant
Speaker 1: to be busy, and you should go when other people
Speaker 1: are eating at lunchtime or dinner rush, because you are
Speaker 1: going to get fresher food. And in between those times,
Speaker 1: it is going to be food that they've had sitting
Speaker 1: around for like thirty minutes.
Speaker 3: Which I think that's staple for all fast food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that applies to all fast food. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think it's a great little detail that I
Speaker 1: hadn't really thought about. But the other things they're saying,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't. You shouldn't order only the chicken sandwich. You
Speaker 1: should I do only order the chick The chicken sandwich
Speaker 1: is so good, Like it's so good, rice and beans.
Speaker 1: They're saying, like you need to get the rice and
Speaker 1: beans and you need to plus them up, which what
Speaker 1: does that mean? You got to upgrade it? According to
Speaker 1: this article, Popeye fans on TikTok have revealed they love
Speaker 1: to add a packet of the complimentary honey and hot
Speaker 1: sauce to get it some zing, which does sound dang
Speaker 1: worth trying. I don't know if I would say not
Speaker 1: doing that is a mistake necessarily. But there's also the
Speaker 1: Cajun Sparkle, which you can sprinkle unto your food to
Speaker 1: add some spice. That is one of Popeye's proprietary.
Speaker 4: It is garlic powder, onion powder, red and black pepper,
Speaker 4: and that's it.
Speaker 5: That's all they're saying.
Speaker 1: Don't order the caje and rice, and also don't order
Speaker 1: your chicken to be spicy, which is interesting. Are you
Speaker 1: a fan?
Speaker 4: Well, because the spicy chicken sandwich, like that's what it is, Yeah,
Speaker 4: isn't it?
Speaker 3: Isn't it spicy?
Speaker 1: So there is a spicy version, but the spice comes
Speaker 1: from the mayo.
Speaker 3: Oh that's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I haven't had spicy chicken at Popeyes.
Speaker 4: I've had this spicy chicken sandwich which slabs and.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get it every time.
Speaker 4: The one time I didn't get it it was when
Speaker 4: Mega Stallion did a partnership with Popeyes and she had
Speaker 4: her sauce and I was like, anything, Megan the sallion does,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be there. So I had the sauce.
Speaker 3: It was good, but at least in my local Popeyes,
Speaker 3: the nuggets sucked.
Speaker 5: They sucked.
Speaker 1: Yes, So their their explanation for spicy is spicy doesn't
Speaker 1: sell as well as mild, So it's similar to the
Speaker 1: going where yeah, during non rush times, they're saying, spicy
Speaker 1: doesn't sell as well as mild, so it just sits
Speaker 1: there for longer than thirty minutes, and anything outside of
Speaker 1: thirty minutes it's just not going to be as good.
Speaker 1: So these are tips from people who work at Popeyes.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your service.
Speaker 2: People will thank you for your service.
Speaker 1: All right. Are you familiar with what being zombied by
Speaker 1: a date is?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: I have heard this, and I think the understanding is
Speaker 4: that after you've been ghosted, they like come back periodically
Speaker 4: later to be like, hey, what's up.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, just give zero efforts, so let's find out together, Becca.
Speaker 1: So this is from the Daily Mail, Who I go
Speaker 1: to for all my relationship advice. They say, if you
Speaker 1: thought that getting ghosted was one of the worst parts
Speaker 1: of modern dating, it might be time to think again.
Speaker 1: According to singer songwriter Mary ol Darling, another person who
Speaker 1: I was kicking with being zombiede is infinitely more frustrating.
Speaker 1: The New York based musician from Massachusetts went viral on
Speaker 1: TikTok when she opened up about her experience in the
Speaker 1: online dating world. Seems like a lot of the news
Speaker 1: these days is just like, here's something I found on TikTok,
Speaker 1: or here's something I found in a Reddit threat. Where
Speaker 1: ghosting simply involves cutting all contact with the person you
Speaker 1: were dating without any explanation, getting zombide means your former
Speaker 1: flame comes back from the dead to initiate a conversation
Speaker 1: out of the blue.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I understand the concept, but in my
Speaker 4: own personal dating history would never happen because I'm a
Speaker 4: very as a fire sign, as an ares.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you're fucking done.
Speaker 4: Like if we're done, block, you're never gonna hear from
Speaker 4: me again, Like I you know, so even if they
Speaker 4: did come back, I wouldn't give them the opportunity to
Speaker 4: come back three times, like some like in this article
Speaker 4: is like, yeah, this guy zombie me three times. It's like,
Speaker 4: why did you give them two more opportunities right to
Speaker 4: come back, bother you, ghost you, and then zombie you again.
Speaker 4: I just like personally can't handle that type of Like
Speaker 4: when a guy at the end of your situationship, whatever
Speaker 4: is ending and they're like, but I want to be friends.
Speaker 4: I'm like, block, you know, but I'm not fucking We're
Speaker 4: not friends friends, you know, we're not leaving it as friends.
Speaker 3: Sorry.
Speaker 4: So in theory, I understand the concept and practice ladies
Speaker 4: block if they ghosted you block. But I've also only
Speaker 4: been ghosted, like properly ghosted, like one time.
Speaker 1: And you immediately blocked them, So you don't know if
Speaker 1: they zombie you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess so, And I think it's been zombies
Speaker 4: only one time, but I ghosted them, so it was
Speaker 4: kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I hate getting Dracula when they just like show
Speaker 1: up at your bedroom window in the hower are they
Speaker 1: standing there? I'm on the fourth floor of this apartment building.
Speaker 1: That's the worst, am I right?
Speaker 3: That's getting twilighted?
Speaker 5: Actually specifically, how was that a scene from Twilight?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: There's like Edward comes to Bella the window and she's like,
Speaker 4: how long have you been standing there?
Speaker 5: And he's like, you're so tall, and she's like.
Speaker 3: How often do you do this? He's like almost.
Speaker 1: Everything two different peopleilet like is that when she says
Speaker 1: how do you do this? Like, does she mean like,
Speaker 1: do you do this all the girls? Or you come
Speaker 1: to my window every night?
Speaker 3: Watch her sleep every night?
Speaker 2: Puck.
Speaker 4: She'll wake up. Sometimes she'll be like I feel his
Speaker 4: energy and then he'll be like, you'll like hide, Yeah,
Speaker 4: she can't see him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that is cool.
Speaker 1: Women love when you tell them that you watch them
Speaker 1: when they sleep. All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll talk about a wild story out
Speaker 1: of Spain with their king and our king. Jerry Springer
Speaker 1: will be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And Spain's former king, King Juan Carlos, apparently had a
Speaker 1: secret daughter whom he tried to keep from falling in
Speaker 1: love with his son when the two didn't know they
Speaker 1: were related. This is from a new book. The daughter,
Speaker 1: and named Alejandra, was born into an aristocratic family in
Speaker 1: the late seventies or early eighties, and her existence was
Speaker 1: an open secret among like the king and other like
Speaker 1: powerful people, but most people didn't know it, and so
Speaker 1: they were friends and they had to like keep them actively,
Speaker 1: like keep them from dating one another, which.
Speaker 4: Yes, gross, it's like a rom com, but like in
Speaker 4: the worst way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think of,
Speaker 1: like what genre this is reminding me of, because it's
Speaker 1: not a rom com.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like what you would want to happen,
Speaker 4: but it have the storyline of a rom company.
Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy, Although there was I think there was an
Speaker 1: eighties I just remember the cover of this VHS from
Speaker 1: the days of like Blockbuster Video. There was a movie
Speaker 1: called Cousins. It was like a steamy romance movie with
Speaker 1: like Ted Danson. Like the cover of it was like
Speaker 1: head dancing and the lead actress like on a motorcycle together,
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure it was just like they find
Speaker 1: out their cousins, but like they still have just a
Speaker 1: bunch of sex.
Speaker 4: Do you think like genetics are failing us in those moments,
Speaker 4: because isn't it like that we're supposed to be as
Speaker 4: humans genetically engineered to be repulsed by in breeding, you know,
Speaker 4: like like the scent of your family is not supposed
Speaker 4: to like you know, yah, yeah orphans in a sense. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's one thing that.
Speaker 1: There's one thing we like talked about in that I
Speaker 1: remember like doing some research on a Cracked article that
Speaker 1: was like, when you are kissing someone, there is a
Speaker 1: theory that like that evolutionarily became a thing because you're
Speaker 1: essentially like taste testing their immune system to see how
Speaker 1: different it is from yours.
Speaker 3: And pheromones that's the word I was looking for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Like pheromones are a lot of people, like
Speaker 1: scientists are like there's no real scientific evidence that pheromones
Speaker 1: in humans actually exist. But the the kissing thing always
Speaker 1: like made sense to me because first of all, it's
Speaker 1: like weird that kissing exists, like just if you take
Speaker 1: a step back and you're like why why are they
Speaker 1: doing that with their mouths? And then also there's that
Speaker 1: thing that people say, independently presumably of this information, where
Speaker 1: that it like kiss someone and they're like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: like kissing my brother or something. It's so I've always
Speaker 1: thought that's interesting. I don't know how scientifically real it is.
Speaker 1: And there are like I remember like there's a European
Speaker 1: philosopher who was like the incest taboo is actually like
Speaker 1: completely you know, created for social purposes to avoid I
Speaker 1: think that person just like probably how.
Speaker 5: The thing, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Because I think scientifically maybe not the attraction part of it,
Speaker 4: but it is scientifically proven that like in breeding is bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and breeding with close relatives not good.
Speaker 2: Not good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Jerry Springer rip to a real one. I don't know.
Speaker 1: You are much younger than I am. Becca, what is
Speaker 1: your awareness of Jerry Springer?
Speaker 3: I mean I go to the Jerry Springer Show. I
Speaker 3: think I was.
Speaker 4: I was up that time where it was funny, you know,
Speaker 4: probably traumatic looking back at and now some of those
Speaker 4: families were on it.
Speaker 3: But I do remember the Jerry Springer Show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess so I assumed it just stopped being
Speaker 1: a thing soon after I was no longer in high school.
Speaker 1: But it was on until like twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was on forever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was on for three decades. Lived a wildlife,
Speaker 1: like I always knew. There was the backstory that he
Speaker 1: was the mayor of Cincinnati at one point. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: this is one of those o bits where you're like, damn,
Speaker 1: that's a life. So he was the son of Jewish
Speaker 1: Holocaust survivors who escaped Germany and ended up in England,
Speaker 1: where Springer was born. So his parents escaped Germany, ended
Speaker 1: up in England, and he was born in a London
Speaker 1: tube station while it was being used as a bomb
Speaker 1: shelter during World War Two.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: His political career began by working as a campaign advisor
Speaker 1: to Bobby Kennedy, and his success with reaching young voters
Speaker 1: caught the attention of the DNC, who tapped him to
Speaker 1: run for Congress in nineteen seventy. He lost that but
Speaker 1: was quickly elected to Cincinnati City Council and became very popular,
Speaker 1: outspoken lefty leader at the age of like twenty seven,
Speaker 1: I think he was at that time. Proposed a ban
Speaker 1: on drafting of Cincinnati residents for the Vietnam War. Then
Speaker 1: resigned from city council in nineteen seventy four when he
Speaker 1: was caught in a vice investigation because he paid a
Speaker 1: sex worker by check, which is that they're just like this,
Speaker 1: you man, this is your signature on a and but
Speaker 1: then he just like ran again, so he lost that job,
Speaker 1: but then like ran again and like made fun of
Speaker 1: himself and like like did a fake ad for credit cards,
Speaker 1: was like, this is actually how you should pay for
Speaker 1: sex workers. And then yeah, he became like a media
Speaker 1: personality who did these I guess that thing. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he still did this by the time you
Speaker 1: were watching, but like did he do a like direct
Speaker 1: to camera address where he would like tell you a
Speaker 1: life lesson at the end of the Jerry Springer Show.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that that always seemed weird to me. It
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, after we just show these people like
Speaker 1: beating up their cousin or whatever on stage, I'm going
Speaker 1: to then like give you a very like wholesome op
Speaker 1: ed about like how we should all treat each other well.
Speaker 1: But apparently so that's what his original thing was, is
Speaker 1: he like gave these kind of direct to camera local
Speaker 1: news broadcast things and then from that like launched a
Speaker 1: TV show that was just like very moral and responsible
Speaker 1: and dull. And then he hired a producer who had
Speaker 1: worked for like the Weekly World News, and the producer
Speaker 1: was like, look, man, do you want to like have
Speaker 1: a career. Okay, so here's how we're going to change things.
Speaker 1: Also hosted the strangest dating show in history, Baggage, in
Speaker 1: which contestants show up with literal bags of like weird
Speaker 1: things from their past.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so he passed away.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I watched a bit of the episode and it was
Speaker 1: really bad, but you know, probably chock full of the
Speaker 1: sort of things that we watched Jerry Sprintner for. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he passed away peacefully at the age of seventy nine,
Speaker 1: eighty nine, I think.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Garry Springer. All right, I think that's
Speaker 1: going to do it for us this afternoon. We are
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show Becca.
Speaker 1: Where can people find you? Follow you all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff?
Speaker 4: You can find me and follow me at x B,
Speaker 4: e CCS, ramos and all platforms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, back tomorrow. Until then, be kind
Speaker 1: to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Fight ye
