00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Chinese Zite Balloon. Instead of Spy, let us have the

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: same bowels, dound ish, I'm Jack and that is super

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: producer Becca Rama. Happy Friday, and a happy Friday to you,

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: unto you. Uh so, what's trending is a little bit

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: of a slow newsday, slow news day. I don't know.

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Some some weeks feel like they pick up steam in

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: other weeks just feel like by the end of it,

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: everyone's just like, I don't know, man, I guess there's

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: like a fucking balloon over Montana. Um that maybe that's something. Um,

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: and it's one of those days. But we're gonna talk

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: about it. We're gonna talk about this ship, um, the

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Spy balloon. I highly recommend to anybody watch a video

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: of the balloon, and we talked about it more on

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: Monday's Full EPP. But uh, there's this guy who posted

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: a video and it just appears to be just like

17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: a dot, a fixed point in the sky, which I

18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: didn't know that was possible with a balloon, Like I

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: thought a balloon would be getting blown all over the place,

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: and it just looks like and that's what so here, Well,

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: we'll just play a little bit of it. Let me

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: share my screen with you. Unto you, I don't know

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: what I have. Okay, that's the moon. It's a little

24
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: fuzzy out here and it's a kind of a crudy phone,

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: but it's slightly overcast. Well, what the heck is that?

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: That's not the sun? And according to my little planet guide,

27
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: it's not a planet. What the heck is that it's

28
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: there's not really a reference point to tell, like if

29
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: it's moving, but the guy says it's completely stationary and

30
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: it looks like it's just the moon. So my bigger

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: question is, because I am not on a issue, why

32
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: do people think it's a Chinese spy? Because that's what

33
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: the US military, the US government has said it is.

34
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: And then China came out and was like, it's actually

35
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: not a spy. It's um, it's a passenger or like

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: a civilian weather balloon. But it seems like China is

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: acknowledging that it does. It is from China and they're

38
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: saying it blew off course. Um it's but I like

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: it's very it's very weird. The video is kind of eerie. Um.

40
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: But the response from various people online. Is funny to

41
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: me because like, you can take this in any direction. Obviously,

42
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to take it in more of like a

43
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: UFO direction. I don't I don't think it's a UFO,

44
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: but I think it's interesting. It's you know, I'm gonna

45
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: just out of sight, amount of mind. It's not over

46
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: my city. Monday's guest Dye is like this Jordan Peel,

47
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: This is some Jordan Peel ship. Um. But Jack Psobiac said,

48
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: just posted the video and said we were bought and

49
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: sold a long time ago. Welcome to New America, which

50
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you get there from a video

51
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: of a a spy balloon? Like we said, Jack, it's

52
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: a slow newsday and people's kid drummed up about something. Yeah,

53
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: but then they're also anyways. We talked about them more

54
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: on Monday, but I did have to acknowledge the we

55
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: were bought and sold a long time ago. True, it

56
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with China or this balloon, but yeah,

57
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: we're owned by corporations and error. Society is not dictated

58
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: by the things. You think it's dictated, but I think

59
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: it's dictated by whatever's gonna make people the most money

60
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: welcome to New America. Motherfucker's um Kyrie irving this motherfucker

61
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: so we already know, like he said some anti semitic

62
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: ship earlier in the season, Half apologized, came back and

63
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: has been bawling out of his mind for the Brooklyn

64
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: Nets in a way that's like I don't want to

65
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: talk about that, you know, because he's piece of ship.

66
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: It almost seemed like he was like, you guys, I'm

67
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: just gonna play so well that you know, I win

68
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: you back Nets fans, And this morning he informed the

69
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: Nets like leadership that he wants to be traded by Thursday,

70
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: and they're just like, we're like, they're also like near

71
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: the top of the Eastern Conference, Like it doesn't make it,

72
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: just like doesn't make any sense. Also, will somebody else

73
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: take him? I don't know, probably, like probably enough teams

74
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: are desperate that like, yeah they would, they would take him.

75
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: But what a mess I feel I feel for Nets

76
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: fans and Kevin during Apple Watch is trending. Do you

77
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: wear an apple Watch? Actually, my Apple Watch just recently died,

78
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: and my mother told me she was trying to get

79
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: me one for my birthday And I said, why, what

80
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: told me? No, I mean I used to, but I

81
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: only bought it for the selfish reason of I was

82
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: single when I bought it, and I wanted someone to

83
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: take pictures of me when I was by myself, and

84
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: you can do the selfie button, So that is actually

85
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: the only reason I bought it. And to work out

86
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: in big quotes, but now I have built a healthy

87
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: workout routine that I don't need to watch to motivate

88
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: me to go to the gym. There you go, do it.

89
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: I had my watch program to be like get out

90
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: of Bed, Piece of Ship Wow, and super producer Brian

91
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: just said smart watch biometrics don't work for brown skin people,

92
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: and fuck the whole watch. I'm not buying another one

93
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: of those things. Well, another thing they're not working for

94
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: is being able to tell whether the people wearing them

95
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: are dead or not. As of September, Apple watches have

96
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: come equipped with technology meant to detect car crashes and

97
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: alert dispatchers, and it's a more sensitive upgrade to software

98
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: on Apple devices now several years old that can detect

99
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: when to use their falls and then dial for help.

100
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: But the latest innovation appears to send the device into

101
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: overdrive because it keeps mistaking skiers and some other fitness

102
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: enthusiasts for car crash victims. So emergency call centers are

103
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: just have been like rendered inoperable by this update. Yeah,

104
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: because it's like they don't want to decline something that

105
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: potentially is an accident. But if it keeps happening, what

106
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: then are they gonna do? Yeah, man, it's just there's

107
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: season these these technology capitalism like corporations are not capable

108
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: of dealing with this ship like they they are only

109
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: capable of making the decision that's going to make them

110
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: the most money. They're not capable of like the power

111
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: that technology has given them. Like Facebook, like that is

112
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: not capable of moderating itself moderating like its platform. These

113
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: are these should be public things. You can't run them profitably.

114
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: You need to like have tax subsidized. Like I'm not

115
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: a great fan of like so give it over to

116
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: the government and just like allow big brother. But like

117
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: that this doesn't work where it's just capitalism in the

118
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: market will determine. It's like no, it won't. It's you're

119
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: just gonna keep fucking up things that don't allow like

120
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: society to function properly. Um So I don't know. Yeah,

121
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: I think Apple watches are some of the most useless

122
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: things that they have created. Like I truly I've tried

123
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: and no, it's just the things that they seem to

124
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: be supposedly making your life easier have come with more

125
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: and more difficulty, much like this very specific thing. Yeah,

126
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: for me, like the one thing that I liked it

127
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: for was the workout stuff. And there are like so

128
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: many cheaper, better products, the better versions of that product

129
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: on the so like, yeah, I don't know. I don't

130
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: know for Apple, because my parents, as they're getting older,

131
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: I think are looking into getting some the like monitor

132
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: heart rate and stuff. So well know this is not it.

133
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: They should go maybe for a more medical device. Right,

134
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: I just turn all my healthcare information over to Apple.

135
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: John Waters is trending because John Waters, I believe, said

136
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 1: that drag shows for children is funny, like something is

137
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: a concept that is funny to him. John Waters famously,

138
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: you know a director of movies that seemed like they're

139
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: designed to kill Fox News viewers, Like my favorite one

140
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: news viewer came across that they would die. I know,

141
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp is like canceled, but that was like one

142
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: of my first where I was in love with Giant

143
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: app That movie is absolute chaos. I don't know how

144
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: it ever got well. He like independently financed, I mean

145
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: not like personally, but I think that they're I don't

146
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: think he was, like go working through the studio system

147
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: on cry Baby is is such a I saw clips

148
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: going viral on TikTok a few days ago, and I

149
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: was like, man, that movie really is bad ship like

150
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: I used to and I watched that as a kid.

151
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: I should not have been watching that as a kid. Yeah,

152
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: think what. It's just funny to me that Fox News

153
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: just found out about him, Like that's going to be

154
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: what what an interest is? Like? I think they need

155
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: to hire him, like they should do Waters and Waters

156
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: Jesse and John Waters, uh like have a show together

157
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: on Fox News and just like inadvertently kill their entire

158
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: viewing audience with his takes and personality and then like

159
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: he gets to control the clips that he cuts away too,

160
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think we would, we would see better

161
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: things for the future of America. All right, Waters on

162
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: Waters use it? Fox News. I don't. I don't give

163
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: you much, but I'm giving you a good a good

164
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: idea here let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

165
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: And we're back, and Austin Butler is apparently planning to

166
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: stop speaking like Elvis. Thank God, America, can heal? I

167
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I was listen. I was watching the YouTube videos.

168
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't that convincing to me. I was expecting to

169
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: be like, well, this is what I'll talk like now,

170
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: but like he's always kind of had a no Jack.

171
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: You have watched enough of his younger videos. He did

172
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: not have the elbow sports. He sounded like like a

173
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: little whiny white teenage boy. All white boys when they

174
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: were winy white teenage boys, like that's what he was.

175
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: But now he sounds like crazy. All right, I need

176
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: to I guess I need to see the better like

177
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: compare contrast videos. Is the one that I was linked

178
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: off to is not? I was not, like, how does

179
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: he even look at him? Stuff in the mirror. My

180
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: favorite thing has been his ex, famously Jennifer Hudson his

181
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: ex or not husband. Wow, Vanessa Hudgens. Not Jennifer Hudson.

182
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: I was super wrong. Vanessa Hudgens. They dated for like

183
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: eight years, you know, the queen of high school. The

184
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: call she's been trolling the comments on all of this,

185
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: like reporting with his Elvis voice just being like screaming lamo,

186
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: because he did not sound like that for the entirety

187
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: of their relationship. She was like, I think you should

188
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: be Elvis. I think you would do a really good

189
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: job at it, and then he tried to be like, yeah,

190
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: my friend told me I should go for Elvis, not

191
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: his ex girlfriend of eight years. So it's been very fun,

192
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: very fun to watch the demise of the rise and

193
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: fall of Awesome. Butler's elmets Well, he's nominated for an Oscar,

194
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: which is I mean, he's good in the in the

195
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: film I think and what I don't think is a

196
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: good film, but I think his performances like definitely captivating

197
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: for sure. And that's a hard one to pull off

198
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: because Elvis is pretty iconic. So it's interesting to see,

199
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: like how because he's just like, I don't and maybe

200
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm just Austin Butler brained. I'm Austin Butler pilled because

201
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm saying the same think it's him

202
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: where he's like, huh, I didn't even I didn't even

203
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: notice I was talking about Elvis. Thank you, thank you

204
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: very much. But he likened it to when somebody lives

205
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: in another country for a long time, because he spent

206
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: three years making Elvis. Yes, which is crazy. It's crazy,

207
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: but it also I don't know. I also am susceptible

208
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: to ship like this, like where when I lived in Ireland,

209
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: like I would catch myself on a word or two

210
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: and be like, no, no, don't do it, don't do it.

211
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: But every kid who studies abroad does this, Like I

212
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: feel like that's the running joke of study abroad kids.

213
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I'm sorry, I just like I speak

214
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: like the Italians. I spent the whole summer in Italy,

215
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: the people who like nine to it, which seems like

216
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: is what's going on here is he's leaning into the

217
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: Elvis nous of it. Um. I bought it with everything

218
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: that I had. But I also think I picked up

219
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: a Southern accent after three years of living in Kentucky,

220
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: and I was able to drop that ship real quick.

221
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: But apparently, like there are reports from the set of

222
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: his next big movie, Dune Part Two. His co star

223
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Dave Bautista recently confirmed that Butler dropped the Elvis voice

224
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: for his performance as Fade Ratha, which yeah, of course

225
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: he did. Like, that's such a wild question to ask

226
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: about an actor. Is he still talking like Elvin? In Dune?

227
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: There was a lot of memes of like people pretending

228
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: to be his like manager or publicist being like like yeah, so,

229
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: like can Austin Butler like pitched the role, but like

230
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: maybe he's like a nineteen fifties singer maybe Elvis, you know,

231
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: like like what if what if Rockabilly to this Dune role? Yeah?

232
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Like what if what if we just like took the

233
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: role and then we just made it in Elvis character, right,

234
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: because he just wouldn't drop it. But good to know

235
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: he's healing. He's healing, uh, and the world can move forward.

236
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: Not me, though, I will continue to deny that he

237
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: ever sounded like Elvis. We'll see at the Academy Awards

238
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: on the red carpet, that's true. What if he just

239
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: comes with a wild British accent, like just well even

240
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: when he did SNL, he was doing it. Oh he

241
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: did SNL and he sang like an Elvis song at

242
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: the end to sing off Cecily Strong, who was leaving

243
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: SNL that was like her last episode and so like

244
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: the like closing act was him singing an Elvis song

245
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: to her, and it was like, that's very strange, all right,

246
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: And finally, George Santos continues to be my favorite liar.

247
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: I think it's probably part of his lie strategy that

248
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: he picks lies that everyone's like, well, why the funk

249
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: would you lie about that? Like, because the other one

250
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: that made me suspect this was that he was on

251
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: like a championship volleyball team at Baruke College in Manhattan, Like,

252
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: which is just I haven't even been able to like

253
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: look up if Baruke has a volleyball team, because like

254
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: there's just something about that claim that is like so

255
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: just stultifying and like boring the like I can't even

256
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: bring myself to google it. But yeah, So this one,

257
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: this lie that he was apparently going with, is that

258
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: he was one of the producers of a very famous

259
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: Broadway play. Okay, Like that's now that's something somebody would

260
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: lie about, like a con artist would lie about which

261
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Broadway play the worst, the biggest failure in the history

262
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: of Broadway, Spider Man, Turn Off the Dark. It's like, fine,

263
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: lie that you were a producer for Broadway, which like

264
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: for someone who is claiming to hate so many things.

265
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would go into the arts

266
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: but be to lie about literally the like Broadways, biggest hole,

267
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: like like Broadways, like ashamed more than anything in the

268
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: world than this Broadway place. Spider killed people so much money,

269
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: like no one is proud about. People didn't like you

270
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: too after this they were like, man, fuck you too.

271
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: Before this, for for our younger listeners, people really liked YouTube.

272
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: People loved you too. And then they like did this

273
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: and put an album on everyone's iPhone and everyone was like, what,

274
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: go fuck yourself the edge, Um, but I don't know,

275
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: it's it's great. There's also a sort of genius to

276
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: it that I like. The the article in Bloomberg, like

277
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: the lead producer Michael Cole denied Santos's involvement, saying, you're

278
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: an assistant that he wasn't a producer on the musical

279
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: something so googleble, you know, right, But I don't know.

280
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: Maybe they were like it's harder to check with that

281
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: who produced it because everyone has just like buried it,

282
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, like there's just like no known producers other

283
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: than this one person. And then George sounds like, hey,

284
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: I'm here, like actually I did it because no one

285
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: else wants to claim that they were producing that show.

286
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: I guess that is smart in that sense then, because

287
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: show no one likes because he has like other lives

288
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: that are famous, like common lies like that. What didn't

289
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: he have a lie that his like mom died in

290
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: nine eleven, like people loved to claim that, like they

291
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: were there for nine eleven, or they were in one

292
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: of the buildings when the planes hit, or like they

293
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: had a family member who died on nine eleven, and

294
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: like that's a very mainstream lie. That is a classic lie. Um,

295
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: But in this case, he kind of swerved on us,

296
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: and I think it's that's pretty interesting. Bruke does have

297
00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: a men's volleyball team, but he definitely was not on it. No, no, no, no,

298
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: not all right. Well, those are some of the things

299
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: that are trending on this slow last newsday. We are

300
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: back on Monday with the whole last episode of the show.

301
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: More questions about the by balloon and you know, theories

302
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: as to why why the story captivated us at this

303
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: end of last week. Um Becca, thank you so much

304
