Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of You
Speaker 1: Have getny Proghost Trends. Almost I almost did poor zingis
Speaker 1: I my brain cannot see the name pregosion without wanting
Speaker 1: to read it as porzingis because I'm stupid. You know.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I'm Jack. That is Miles. It is early
Speaker 1: Monday morning, and uh these were We're going to get
Speaker 1: into some of the things that are trending over the weekend.
Speaker 1: But first, Miles, we like to check in with each other,
Speaker 1: check ourselves at opted, underrated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, should I go first? Okay, I'll go first, overrated. Cannipace.
Speaker 2: I was at a like like a restaurant lounge that
Speaker 2: had like on their finger food menu, they had like cannapas.
Speaker 1: Here you were and class, you know, clas.
Speaker 2: Thinking, alright, let's do something interesting. I'm like, I know
Speaker 2: that word, and I know it's like a like an appetizer,
Speaker 2: and then it comes out that's right, it's this shit
Speaker 2: it's in and I okay. So anyway, all this to
Speaker 2: say is, you know, cannapay is like anytime a little
Speaker 2: bread type or dirve with some shit stacked on top
Speaker 2: finger food, it's like, you know, the one of the
Speaker 2: most common or dirves. But the reason I don't like
Speaker 2: it is because in my mind it sounds a lot
Speaker 2: better than what you actually get when it comes out,
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, it's just some shit on a slice
Speaker 2: of bread. I don't know why. I thought it was
Speaker 2: like a more elevated thing, and I didn't realize, how
Speaker 2: are we getting too because it's a French word for
Speaker 2: I believe, couch, So the food is just resting pond
Speaker 2: it like a couch, like a cannopey.
Speaker 1: Are they're inviting you to rest your weary soul upon
Speaker 1: these delicious I guess.
Speaker 2: But then when you think about it, right, I started
Speaker 2: looking into it right, like I think the origins I
Speaker 2: may have come from the same place where I forget
Speaker 2: which Spanish king basically was like, y'all need to be
Speaker 2: serving food with alcohol, and that's how we got top us,
Speaker 2: and then from there we move on. That's why for me,
Speaker 2: top us way better than cannabase.
Speaker 1: That's what I like, less less specific, right, top us
Speaker 1: are just small? Yeah, yeah, I like, I like, have
Speaker 1: you ever done before?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because we're.
Speaker 2: You might want to get out of a paper pen
Speaker 2: because quick maths really quick. We'd like to say two
Speaker 2: point six three dishes per three people. What we do
Speaker 2: think it's a little different.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, in the world of like easy foods, I
Speaker 3: prefer like top us with like a smaller just a
Speaker 3: portion or pinchos, like in the North of Spain, which
Speaker 3: their ship is just a more fucking like you know,
Speaker 3: just the wild ass cannaba, because it's a lot more
Speaker 3: shit stacked on a piece of.
Speaker 1: Oh oh my god, we get it. You've been to Europe.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, cool.
Speaker 2: Actually that brings me to another thing. If you go
Speaker 2: to the North of Italy.
Speaker 1: Completely different here we go.
Speaker 2: But I think the word yeah, no, just the word
Speaker 2: I think, and I think just CANape. Yeah yeah, like
Speaker 2: like it feels like rich people finger food when really
Speaker 2: like I'm down for just like a fried massive onions.
Speaker 1: You know, I've never gotten a cannope and been like, man,
Speaker 1: this is a big piece of food. It's always it's
Speaker 1: They seem to be in an arms race, similar to
Speaker 1: like early mobile phones, where they're trying to make it
Speaker 1: as small as possible, like it's right, right, it's smaller, smaller.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's it's hard to make too.
Speaker 1: So my overrated Also from this weekend, is a beach
Speaker 1: without pulp. So at some point when I like, I'm
Speaker 1: using the tropicana fresh squeezed orange juice richter scale as
Speaker 1: as a metaphor here. But at some point when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, I like this. I did that the
Speaker 1: platonic ideal of the beach was sand as pure as
Speaker 1: the driven snow and like ocean water without anything in it,
Speaker 1: because like rocks hurt feet and seaweed is nasty. But
Speaker 1: as an adult like been taking my kids more to
Speaker 1: like beaches that have all the ship on them, like
Speaker 1: have rocks and like help you know, animals in the water.
Speaker 1: I was at a beach this weekend that like had
Speaker 1: a tide pool and just the gnarliest ship going on.
Speaker 1: It's like a fucking lobster and crab like horror film slaughterhouse,
Speaker 1: just you know, birds doing doing dirt. There were like
Speaker 1: sea slugs, like just beautifully colored sea slugs just that
Speaker 1: as super producer Brian just beach so nasty. Beach is
Speaker 1: so nasty lugs. But it yeah, it's you know some
Speaker 1: beaches you can go to and they it's just all
Speaker 1: the stuff from nature documentaries, like the the remnants of
Speaker 1: that washed up on shore, and it was pretty cool
Speaker 1: and it gives you a lot of things to like
Speaker 1: talk to kids about.
Speaker 2: And there was oh so versus like a not a
Speaker 2: bunch of wild ship at the beach. You kind of
Speaker 2: just go and that's the beach, kids.
Speaker 1: And there's the beach ingredients to my beach.
Speaker 2: What's that? What's that? What's this? What's this? Why is that?
Speaker 2: Why is it eating this?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Can I eat? To feel a little smart? Making
Speaker 1: making up answers to questions what's your freestyle? I think
Speaker 1: this one's right. But there there were a lot of
Speaker 1: these seaweeds. There was seaweeds with the bubbles in them,
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, yeah, they I was explaining that they
Speaker 1: are usually anchored to the ocean floor and then the
Speaker 1: bubbles float them up to the surface so that they
Speaker 1: can takeage of photosynthesis. Yeah, yeah, I mean that seems
Speaker 1: right right. I'm pretty sure I heard that on Rogan
Speaker 1: at one point.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm just that feels like one of those answers
Speaker 2: that it's logical enough that if someone said it with
Speaker 2: enough confidence, I'm like, yeah, exactly, that's what I was
Speaker 2: going to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But anyways, beach with pulp try them out. Beaches
Speaker 1: without pulp. They're also more crowded because that's what everybody's
Speaker 1: looking for.
Speaker 2: What is there, like, is there a list, like you know,
Speaker 2: like the pulp free beaches versus it's.
Speaker 1: Like most extra more popular one like the ones where
Speaker 1: people swim and because you can't really swim in the tidepoole.
Speaker 1: So so like we went and there was like the
Speaker 1: tidepool area and it was pretty sparsely populated with people,
Speaker 1: and then like over a little bit was where everyone
Speaker 1: was like swimming and surfing and doing that stuff. So
Speaker 1: you can find one with both, then then you're in business.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: You want me to go with my underrated?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got underrated.
Speaker 1: I tried the Grimma shake. It was not I did
Speaker 1: not go out of my way to try the Grimmat shake,
Speaker 1: and I'm I survived. My underrated is not necessarily the
Speaker 1: Grimace shake itself so much as how little the Grimace
Speaker 1: shake tastes like come, or alternately, how much Grimaces come
Speaker 1: taste like blueberry milkshake. I've never tasted grim It's very blueberry.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and like a little vanilla like hint of
Speaker 2: creamy or just more like a blueberry smooth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a blueberry somewhere between a milkshake and a
Speaker 1: blueberry smoothie, which you know, there there are reports that
Speaker 1: certain fruits do uh.
Speaker 2: You know, feel the flavors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, effect the flavor of comes. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe Grimace is just a real blueberry hogs.
Speaker 2: Really the superfoods.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's there's also some disturbing reports about what
Speaker 1: the Grimmest Shake is doing. Oh my god, who was
Speaker 1: shut up to the young people who.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I gotta shout you out at Ched Earthling
Speaker 2: tagged us in a fucking TikTok thing on Twitter that
Speaker 2: was just a bunch of videos of kids trying the
Speaker 2: Grimace Shake, and it was just smashed, cutting to them
Speaker 2: in like terrible physical condition, like passed out on the
Speaker 2: ground like in the woods, naked. One kid was like
Speaker 2: holding his dead friend, just like I'm trying the milkshake.
Speaker 2: Cut too, come on man, wake up? Yeah, oh shit,
Speaker 2: really well done. Most of them.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, they cut and then the person's
Speaker 1: at the same location with their shirt off and Grimace
Speaker 1: shakes splattered all over them. But one of them they
Speaker 1: like cut in it like looks like it's a location
Speaker 1: from the first season of True Detective. The person's just
Speaker 1: like half naked, leaned up against a tree with shake dribbling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so congratulations to those young people. There's something you thinks.
Speaker 2: I'm a little disappointed that it's it wasn't like yeah
Speaker 2: or like yeah, it like caused you to have like
Speaker 2: like your blood vessels and your eye burst on one
Speaker 2: side or something just too crazy. But okay, it's.
Speaker 1: Also who knows, you know, who knows what, Like whether
Speaker 1: the Grima shak has is using me as a host
Speaker 1: is just like speaking through me trying to throw people off.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I've fucking taken some.
Speaker 2: Like Last of Us type shit. Everyone becomes part of
Speaker 2: like a cordys EPs network like intelligence for me underrated
Speaker 2: kind of more spiritual of just being able to like
Speaker 2: forgive yourself when you're stressed out. I like I go
Speaker 2: through like cycles of stress, and you know, people are
Speaker 2: like you're so chilling, like not like I'm I can
Speaker 2: get I can get stressed, baby, let me tell you
Speaker 2: what goes on inside this mind. But about like when
Speaker 2: you get to that point. Usually when you're stressed out,
Speaker 2: you'll like most of us have this idea of going
Speaker 2: like why am I stressed out? I shouldn't be stressed out.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be stressed out. I don't like
Speaker 2: being stressed out. Why am I fres I don't like this?
Speaker 2: This is not good, this is not and then you're
Speaker 2: just stuck in that shit versus being able to just
Speaker 2: say I'm stressed okay. But also I'm gonna forgive myself
Speaker 2: for being stressed because I don't need to beat my
Speaker 2: own shit up for being stressed, because I have to
Speaker 2: have some level of self awareness to know that it's
Speaker 2: a pattern I have and then moving through it from
Speaker 2: that side rather than like the fighting it, like why
Speaker 2: the like chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, stop that
Speaker 2: fucking pattern of rumination for a second, give yourself a
Speaker 2: little break, Put your hand on your heart, on your heart,
Speaker 2: and your heart. I forgive myself. It's okay, you're going
Speaker 2: through it, but you cover your heart.
Speaker 1: Also, like your brain was not designed for this world,
Speaker 1: and it like hijacks itself all the time. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I do that so much where I have a bad
Speaker 1: feeling and then get mad at myself or like some
Speaker 1: part of my brain like blames myself for having the
Speaker 1: bad feeling, and then that compounds on itself.
Speaker 2: Cause you get like the high school football coaches way
Speaker 2: of problem solving. We're like, come on, Obrian, get over it.
Speaker 1: Where's your toughness?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I'm like what, And then you get all fucked
Speaker 2: up because you're like, yeah, that's right, this is bullshit.
Speaker 2: And then rather than just like acknowledging, it's really just
Speaker 2: about acknowledging first and then moving from it. There, it's resisting, baby,
Speaker 2: it's the resistance that hurts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you resist will persist. Am I in therapy?
Speaker 1: You decide for yourself.
Speaker 2: You look at my bills?
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk the Russian rebellion. Russians are just
Speaker 1: over there doing their thing, vying for our attention, like
Speaker 1: the messy little bitch as they are.
Speaker 2: But you need to be more about you.
Speaker 1: Yes, jeez, get cycle.
Speaker 2: We went from We went from you have get any
Speaker 2: pregosion putin chef. It turned like, you know, mercenary warlord
Speaker 2: who you know does a lot of work for the
Speaker 2: Russian military abroad, not just in Ukraine but like places
Speaker 2: like Syria and Africa, et cetera. Uh, Basically you just
Speaker 2: saw like wait, they I remember seeing one like article
Speaker 2: come up about being like potential coup in Russia, and
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, what the fuck. Then you look
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, they took over Rostov, which was
Speaker 2: home of the Southern Military Command where which is basically
Speaker 2: running like the war in Ukraine. A lot of the
Speaker 2: decisions are being made there, and then marching towards Moscow
Speaker 2: and you saw like planes being shot down, fucking like
Speaker 2: trenches being dug up, people like opening their arms to
Speaker 2: the Wagner mercenaries being like yes, please, you are our
Speaker 2: new loverlords, and other people getting mad at them. It
Speaker 2: was quite a thing. And then suddenly next thing, you know,
Speaker 2: he was like, Okay, you know what, we don't want
Speaker 2: to we don't want to shed blood, so we're gonna
Speaker 2: go back because that was the plan. So we were
Speaker 2: just pumped faking. We were pumped faking a coup. Interesting, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's very very odd and now yeah, so.
Speaker 1: It definitely feels like so the explanation for what happened
Speaker 1: here is that, like the official or unofficial explanation that
Speaker 1: seems to be prevailing on Monday morning or like most
Speaker 1: of the weekend, was that Pregosion had like negotiated a
Speaker 1: soft landing for himself in Belarus and that Putin. So
Speaker 1: it just feels like, I don't know, not very strong
Speaker 1: man out of character with Putin, like the guy who
Speaker 1: normally puts plutonium in your teeth. If you cast out
Speaker 1: on his professional hockey like scoring records, you'd expect him
Speaker 1: to have like more of a response, and instead it
Speaker 1: feels like the story is that he was just like, yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: no wet. I mean, let's continue to work together. I
Speaker 1: love this energy from you. Let's just you know, focus
Speaker 1: it on Ukraine. Okay, I get it.
Speaker 2: You actually kept that same energy from the telegram group
Speaker 2: chat and you were fucking around. Okay, note take in.
Speaker 2: But again, yeah, like it is. It is while because
Speaker 2: Progosian apparent allegedly cut a deal for all of the
Speaker 2: people that were involved in the uprising and saying that
Speaker 2: they would not face prosecution for fucking treason or whatever,
Speaker 2: and then also the ones that didn't participate would also
Speaker 2: get military contracts. We don't know if any of that's happening.
Speaker 2: And again, like you said, Progosian was like, I'll exile
Speaker 2: to Belarus. But you're like wait what, but you like
Speaker 2: you were just going like so hard on like were like,
Speaker 2: we need to fucking kill all the Ukrainians and all
Speaker 2: this shit, and they're like, all right, I'm an exile
Speaker 2: in Belarus. Who knows what's gonna happen to the Wagner
Speaker 2: group now, because you'd imagine Putin would probably do a
Speaker 2: lot to start dismantling that based on what the fuck
Speaker 2: just happened. But the one thing a lot of people
Speaker 2: are pointing out is that people have not heard from
Speaker 2: Progosian or like the official Wagner like telegram group, like
Speaker 2: a lot of it has gone silent. So a lot
Speaker 2: of people are like, oh, maybe that's how you fucked
Speaker 2: up is by thinking that Putin would make a deal
Speaker 2: with you after all that. So again, it's hard to
Speaker 2: know because we don't know where things have landed because
Speaker 2: we just don't know.
Speaker 1: So you really don't know somehow, Like if Putin disappeared pregosion,
Speaker 1: I feel like people would like feel like the world
Speaker 1: is safe again.
Speaker 2: They're like, ah, yes, back to a.
Speaker 1: World where Putin is murdering people mysteriously and not acknowledging
Speaker 1: it because yeah, like nobody's heard of him from him,
Speaker 1: They're saying he might have been disappeared.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it. But it goes to show too,
Speaker 2: like how used to his like autocratic, fucking iron fist
Speaker 2: approach to rule that like suddenly like wait, what like
Speaker 2: you're getting you just you just ran out of Moscow
Speaker 2: because you were so shook that Progoson was coming to town. Yes, unlikely?
Speaker 1: Is that is that confirmed that he left Moscow?
Speaker 2: It seems to be in a lot of the reporting
Speaker 2: was that he left, like as this was all happening,
Speaker 2: and so many other people were trying to leave Moscow too,
Speaker 2: like the flights were like tripled in price almost. But
Speaker 2: that's what's kind of interesting, is like this is a
Speaker 2: situation where Putin has his back to the wall, like
Speaker 2: domestically right, like where it's like, dude, they're apparently they're
Speaker 2: coming for your ass, and then somehow it all kind
Speaker 2: of settles and everything's okay, nothing to see here. But
Speaker 2: also like he didn't handle it in a way that
Speaker 2: people would have expected, which is like super violent or
Speaker 2: whatever the fuck it is. And I think it's also
Speaker 2: it's having effects all over Like at the time, a
Speaker 2: lot of other countries in the former Soviet bloc were
Speaker 2: like yo, is this our shot right now, right while
Speaker 2: they're all fucking on the back foot. And then in
Speaker 2: China too, I know, the government is also like the
Speaker 2: perception there is that Russia has been like in fact,
Speaker 2: like you know, strong as shit, like nobody's taking Putin down.
Speaker 2: And then to see this news a lot of were
Speaker 2: like wait, wait what I thought?
Speaker 1: Huh so the state sponsored media has been mainly telling
Speaker 1: the story of like Russia is just rolling on Ukraine and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is true, like all the while
Speaker 2: that was happening, like they were still fighting in Ukraine
Speaker 2: and like, you know, there's some pretty gnarly counter offensives happening.
Speaker 2: But uh, I don't know, it's I think the really
Speaker 2: confusing part is like how how did you go from
Speaker 2: We're marching on Moscow or something and be like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna Beller, I'm gonna go to Belaru's exile.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, something.
Speaker 2: It's like the kg or not the KGB. The FSB
Speaker 2: were going around to some of the families of like Progosians,
Speaker 2: top people and being like yo, you can get got
Speaker 2: right now right yeah kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So don't that makes sense because it didn't seem like
Speaker 1: whatever his strategy was, like, there was a noticeable thing
Speaker 1: that got in the way, So yeah, presumably something happening
Speaker 1: behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: Nina Khrushchevo was on Democracy Now and she's a Nikita
Speaker 2: Krushev's granddaughter. Yeah, she was saying like, this is a
Speaker 2: really interesting kind of conflict because in Russia when you
Speaker 2: have these kinds of events, it's typically reformers coming out
Speaker 2: against like the Old Guard, and this feels like a
Speaker 2: group that is like full a full on militarized fascist
Speaker 2: group trying to come after the very militant Putin regime,
Speaker 2: and it's like wha. From that side, they're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a little bit uh, that's that's that's a little
Speaker 2: bit new around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little scary, all right. So those are
Speaker 1: all theories of what happened, But actually Fox News knows
Speaker 1: what's going on here, and we'll get into their explanation
Speaker 1: for what's happening in Russia in a moment and we're back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So Maria Barbibaromo has a theory of what's actually happening here.
Speaker 2: Is it that it's a common iplicated geopolitical thing, is
Speaker 2: an internal struggle between the warlords and the military and
Speaker 2: not agreeing on Ukraine strategy.
Speaker 1: Door work for the Biden administration, Miles, because it sounds
Speaker 1: like you're just kind of spitting their talking points.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not going to lie. I have taken
Speaker 2: money from them in the past, but that's neither here
Speaker 2: nor there. But let's check it with Maria. Does it
Speaker 2: break through and become a role problem?
Speaker 4: The White House wanted to give the media something else
Speaker 4: to cover, and this is the mo o. This is
Speaker 4: exactly the way they do things. In fact, on Friday,
Speaker 4: I said, Wow, what a blockbuster. What's that message. I'm
Speaker 4: sure there will be an enormous story over the weekend
Speaker 4: that the White House is going to be pushing to
Speaker 4: take this story off of the front page.
Speaker 1: And sure, en, we've.
Speaker 4: Got the State Department drumming up all the drama that
Speaker 4: took place over the weekend in Russia. So I don't
Speaker 4: know if it's going to break through. The mainstream media
Speaker 4: has an excuse again.
Speaker 2: Not to cover it.
Speaker 4: They're covering everything about Russia and the Wagna Group.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's true, as if it really yeah, okay, I
Speaker 2: think as if it really matters. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: A coup and a nuclear armed state.
Speaker 1: The most nuclear armed state by a like just off
Speaker 1: their rocker.
Speaker 2: I don't know what she's trying to say that the
Speaker 2: US like in through the deep state, and I don't
Speaker 2: know what. I guess presumably like CIA operatives were able
Speaker 2: to get the Wagner group to actually go through with
Speaker 2: an attempted armed insurrection, or it's all crisis actors and
Speaker 2: it's all visual propaganda and that's why. Or Maria, how
Speaker 2: just how how does it work? Again? Who called who
Speaker 2: to make this happen? I'm just I'm trying to figure
Speaker 2: that part clear. I'm trying to believe you. I just
Speaker 2: need a little bit more like.
Speaker 1: Big insinuations is kind of seems to be how this
Speaker 1: is working. This is also after Senator Marshall Blackburn suggested
Speaker 1: that the missing Titanic sub was is also just a
Speaker 1: calculated distraction from the case against Hunter Biden. So the
Speaker 1: Biden administration has been very busy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, putting people on submarines.
Speaker 1: And that what the WhatsApp message is. He was like
Speaker 1: leaning on somebody to pay him by saying, like, my
Speaker 1: dad's a president, don't you know who I am? Is
Speaker 1: that kind of the idea.
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess that's but I don't know, iret the.
Speaker 1: Fact that like people recognize and have made peace with
Speaker 1: the fact that Hunter Biden is like the greatest, most
Speaker 1: elaborate fail sun that we've ever seen, and y yeah
Speaker 1: or just like yeah, I mean it seems like Biden
Speaker 1: knows these are real fuck.
Speaker 2: Up or the or the biggest threat to America is
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden. The way all this energy is being put
Speaker 2: on it, it's like y'all have more energy than for
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden. The fucking Al Qaeda right now, like it's
Speaker 2: again and everything is in service of under Biden right now. Okay,
Speaker 2: he has the gravitational pull of the sun.
Speaker 1: The son mister Beast said he declined to join the
Speaker 1: submersible trip. Did you know did you see that?
Speaker 2: That makes sense? Oh? Like he was like, was he
Speaker 2: offered a ride on it?
Speaker 1: On that one? Yeah? See, because another.
Speaker 2: YouTuber did it and said it fell fucking jank when
Speaker 2: he went on it. And I don't know if they
Speaker 2: went to fucking Titanic depth. But again, I think that
Speaker 2: just shows you the kind of like pr campaigns. Man,
Speaker 2: It's like from remember that thing Anna shared in the
Speaker 2: group text she In.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what was that?
Speaker 2: I actually didn't follow that shit is wild, so she In,
Speaker 2: which is like huge fast fashion company, like I think
Speaker 2: they're probably the biggest now. They sponsored these influencer trips
Speaker 2: to go to their factories in China, and like it
Speaker 2: was total propaganda. Like the concerns are like what are
Speaker 2: the working conditions in these factories? Like what are the
Speaker 2: fucking like materials being used? Like what's the process to
Speaker 2: do all this stuff? Like I hear there's child labor,
Speaker 2: and like they were just to these like pristine factories
Speaker 2: that are like not crowded, and was like smiling, and
Speaker 2: like the tone of a lot of this influencer content
Speaker 2: is like I'm even talking to some of the fact
Speaker 2: the factory managers right now, and I asked, you guys
Speaker 2: post some questions you want me to ask? And I said,
Speaker 2: what about the working conditions? And he said they have
Speaker 2: really good wages, that that's really competitive, and that they
Speaker 2: don't use bad labor practices. So and from what I saw,
Speaker 2: it looked really clean, and you're like you've been fucking played.
Speaker 2: But again, every like it's just it's funny how much
Speaker 2: the sort of pr propaganda campaign is so much a
Speaker 2: part of everything we do know from everything those.
Speaker 1: One of more strategies that the sugar Magnate used is
Speaker 1: like they invited a journalist who was even like just
Speaker 1: threatening to maybe be critical of them. They like invited
Speaker 1: them to the factory like this pr tactic of like
Speaker 1: we can have a single good location where we're not
Speaker 1: abusing thing people look at this one harming people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at this very carefully cultivated specific press up that we've
Speaker 1: put in.
Speaker 2: And also I got to say I love the fucking
Speaker 2: five star accommodations they gave me during this this trip.
Speaker 2: The food was excellent. Right, It's just so wild. How
Speaker 2: when you look at it, you're like, do you not
Speaker 2: see what they're doing to you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And but again I'm sure they know kind of what
Speaker 2: the deal is and that's why they accept the trip. Uh.
Speaker 1: Did you see the picture of JFK Junior or RFK
Speaker 1: Junior being Shredsville?
Speaker 2: Dude? I honestly thought someone used AI to make it
Speaker 2: look like he was like a Sereno in fucking Pelican
Speaker 2: Bay or some shit. It looks like a jail yard. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's built like he's been he's been you know, locked down,
Speaker 2: for fucking twenty years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's big. He's got it's a shirtless photo
Speaker 1: black and white. He's he's got big muscles. And it
Speaker 1: also like made him make more sense to me somehow,
Speaker 1: because he's like hanging out with First of all, he's
Speaker 1: hanging out with like la personal wellness people. It seems
Speaker 1: like who've always had some interesting questions around vaccines, I
Speaker 1: feel like. And then also just like that scene in Succession,
Speaker 1: like the I Love you but You're not a serious
Speaker 1: person thing, Like he's just you know, because of his name,
Speaker 1: people like lend gravity to whatever he says and have
Speaker 1: since he was like a child, But he's mainly an
Speaker 1: idiot who like gravitates towards the most provocative thing he
Speaker 1: thinks will make him sound as smart as people expect
Speaker 1: him to be.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and he's like one of those broken clocks
Speaker 2: where he's like right about a couple things, yes, and
Speaker 2: then you're like, oh, well, I mean like he is
Speaker 2: like anti war, like he's he's he is talking about
Speaker 2: how we have like misplaced emphasis like in our economy
Speaker 2: and things like that, but then he goes back to
Speaker 2: being like the Wi Fi though you're like Okay, well
Speaker 2: shut up, dude, Yeah please, This this puts him in
Speaker 2: the category that people will now be like, who are
Speaker 2: you going to trust on your medicine?
Speaker 1: This pencil neck dipshit like picture of a doctor, or
Speaker 1: this like I've seen it with like Joe Rogan before,
Speaker 1: or this guy who's you know, yeah right, he's.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, rfk, Junior can do a bunch of steroids.
Speaker 2: Doesn't even get the back knee. That's how next level
Speaker 2: he is. Dude. His forearms look like fucking Christmas Hams.
Speaker 1: Though I know, yeah, I figured I shared this picture
Speaker 1: with you mainly because I figure you could be they.
Speaker 2: Look like Christmas Hams. Trump is terrified. He drops out
Speaker 2: of the race. He's like before, I've seen the other
Speaker 2: guy's christy, not really worried about him. Tim Scott kind
Speaker 2: of feathery spaghetti arms. But rfk, my god, biceps like
Speaker 2: Christmas Hams. I got nothing for the.
Speaker 1: Arms like also Christmas Hams.
Speaker 2: All the way through. I don't know if his forearms
Speaker 2: are Christmas Ams. I don't even know what to call
Speaker 2: those biceps. Oil drums.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take one more break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about some more popular culture things. Have
Speaker 1: you Have you seen anything from the popular culture this week?
Speaker 2: We defin really did. We definitely did. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and the world said hello to Grady
Speaker 1: Dick at the NBA draft.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah you actually For people who may have been
Speaker 2: confused on the last social post for the show where
Speaker 2: Jack was Grady Dick and I was Adam Silver, that's
Speaker 2: Grady Dick. That was Grady Dick, say a super long neck.
Speaker 1: He He was drafted thirteenth by the Raptors. He wore
Speaker 1: a fabulous suit to the draft of beautiful suit, just beautiful,
Speaker 1: a bejeweled turtleneck, sequined, sequined. Yeah, the turtleneck is like
Speaker 1: ruby slipper, Like it all looks like it's made of
Speaker 1: the material that Dorothy's shoes are made from and Wizard
Speaker 1: of Oz.
Speaker 2: Because he's not in Kansas anymore. That's why.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's great, all it all works together. I
Speaker 1: was not aware of him really until I first started
Speaker 1: seeing pictures and again immediately thought it was bj from
Speaker 1: Righteous Gemstones, which, like a lot of people commented on,
Speaker 1: they were like this, he's really giving big you know,
Speaker 1: the husband from Righteous Gemstones energy and you know he
Speaker 1: was drafted thirteenth, which I think is like not far
Speaker 1: from where he was expected to But people were like, oh, man, like,
Speaker 1: could you imagine if you just like just sat there
Speaker 1: being unselected, wearing that jacket, rubbing his mits.
Speaker 2: All right with the twenty seventh thick here we go.
Speaker 1: But then yeah, I mean, just so now that I
Speaker 1: know who he is, like, you shared a reel of
Speaker 1: him on social like dance tiktoks man, Oh man, what
Speaker 1: kid got the riz?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: He's got the riz? Yes?
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm like, is it because okay, is it
Speaker 2: that his is it? I don't think his riz comes
Speaker 2: you know, let me put on my spinny gen z
Speaker 2: cap really quick, Like, is his charisma from the fact
Speaker 2: that he is just has it coming off his skin,
Speaker 2: his pores. You just like, get out of this man's way?
Speaker 2: Or is it because he owns who he is so well?
Speaker 2: Because he's not the he's not the coolest looking guy
Speaker 2: or the best dancer, but he loves what like he
Speaker 2: can tell he loves doing it. Yes, and I think
Speaker 2: that's probably what it is. Like You're like, Oh, this
Speaker 2: guy's in his joy zone. Go ahead, head, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to get in the way.
Speaker 1: The name is not hurting either. Grady dick Is it
Speaker 1: just sticks in your brain. I'm not going to confuse
Speaker 1: that with poor Zingis. I'll tell you that much. Ein
Speaker 1: trying maybe yeh call yourself Porzingis. But yeah, Grady Dick,
Speaker 1: I mean it's like close to gravy dick, which is
Speaker 1: an image that just kind of burrows down into the
Speaker 1: dark recesses, Like did.
Speaker 2: That go through your head? Yeah, it was not like
Speaker 2: gravy specifically, but it did sound like a description of
Speaker 2: a dick them Grady dicks.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Gravy, But I did I.
Speaker 1: Think gravy dick. I don't think grade E dick. Like
Speaker 1: it's below an, which would be not great Grady for excellent, Yeah, gradydergar.
Speaker 1: His neck is also the longest neck I've ever seen
Speaker 1: on a human being. I'm hoping the raptors aren't going
Speaker 1: to bring him in and be like whoop. He's actually
Speaker 1: a five to eleven guy with a two foot long neck.
Speaker 1: He kind of appears when you look at a picture
Speaker 1: of him like that might be what's going on, right.
Speaker 2: The turtleneck is a cover that he's all neck. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's all neck, man. If he ran into. If he
Speaker 2: didn't see a screen coming from that blind side, he
Speaker 2: might fucking his head might snap off from the impact,
Speaker 2: so wobbly up there. When they asked him about the suit,
Speaker 2: he said, quote, I'm just being goofy and myself. People
Speaker 2: are going to think I'm crazy, But the mentality was
Speaker 2: that I'm gonna wear this suit probably once in my
Speaker 2: entire life, so I might as well just go all
Speaker 2: out love it. And there you love it for him.
Speaker 2: He did it, Grady.
Speaker 1: It never stops wearing that suit. The shoulder pads also
Speaker 1: are important statement that I'm hoping this brings them back
Speaker 1: to NBA draft suits. I think in some cases these
Speaker 1: are long, lanky men who could use a little shoulder
Speaker 1: pad action to fill out their frame. Absolutely, Wembayama looked
Speaker 1: pretty good in his teal suit. I gotta say, yeah,
Speaker 1: but this took the fucking this took all the energy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care about anymore.
Speaker 2: Maria Romo should be asking why Grady Dick pulled up
Speaker 2: like this right honestly, more than other really you know,
Speaker 2: relevant news things. I spent a lot of energy talking
Speaker 2: about this guy's suit. Yeah, and that's an easier op
Speaker 2: to run I think Maria.
Speaker 1: All right, Lance Armstrong is back and he is concerned
Speaker 1: about fairness and sports despite the fact that literally Lance Armstrong,
Speaker 1: he seems like he's going in an OJ direction, like
Speaker 1: the OJ zone, where like your public persona is having
Speaker 1: the gall to say something that like people just can't.
Speaker 2: I think that one man murdered his ex wife. Yeah
Speaker 2: that's just me.
Speaker 1: I'm OJ And I know a thing or two about
Speaker 1: the car Serle system. Oh right, so you know, most
Speaker 1: famous cheater in the world. Lance Armstrong just went real
Speaker 1: hard in his career. Like I still remember that Nike
Speaker 1: ad where he was where he came out like tried
Speaker 1: to get ahead of the story and was like a
Speaker 1: lot of people say he couldn't win the Tour de
Speaker 1: Fronce without being on something. He must be on something.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm on. I'm on my bike
Speaker 1: five in the morning. I'm on his grind son. That's
Speaker 1: That's what I'm on. And then yeah, he's he's just
Speaker 1: and then it turns out he was doing all like
Speaker 1: cheating in every way possible. It was like that scene
Speaker 1: and is it spies like us where he he's like
Speaker 1: got the answers like in his mouth in his watch,
Speaker 1: oh right, right, in his glasses. He was like a
Speaker 1: very gifted cheater. I would say, like the level of
Speaker 1: complexity that was going on was pretty intense and impressive
Speaker 1: once you heard all the details. But anyways, he's trending
Speaker 1: on Twitter now after he posted a promo video for
Speaker 1: a podcast series he's making with Caitlin Jenner all about
Speaker 1: trans women competing in sports, and Armstrong claims to be
Speaker 1: uniquely positioned to talk about this since he's a cisgender
Speaker 1: disgraced cyclist.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, as someone who has taken testosterone to
Speaker 2: cheat people, I mean from them right in the athletic world.
Speaker 2: I guess, like, what the fuck are we talking about? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's fucking wild too, like his whole that whole announcement too.
Speaker 2: He's like, I think it's worth talking about. It's worth
Speaker 2: a spirited debate or some shit, is what he said.
Speaker 2: And then Don's like, I think you can be supportive
Speaker 2: of the transgender community, but also what about the transgender question?
Speaker 2: Like then you've like pivot to like this very grim
Speaker 2: talk about like like the fairness of it. You're not
Speaker 2: there to talk about the fairness of shit. You're again
Speaker 2: you want to talk about unserious people. It's this man
Speaker 2: talking about his concern with the fairness of fucking anything,
Speaker 2: and then Caitln Jenner using her you know, a trans identity,
Speaker 2: her like just her, her, the clout that she has
Speaker 2: or I guess the notoriety she has as a trans
Speaker 2: woman and athlete to be like and hey, we're the
Speaker 2: authorities on this in a time where there's so much
Speaker 2: rampant homophobia and transphobia. I just to me, it's like,
Speaker 2: if you're going to actually if this is like a
Speaker 2: threat assessment, right, if I'm being really charitable about his motivations,
Speaker 2: and you're trying to say I'm doing this because it's
Speaker 2: worth talking about because I'm I'm thinking that these athletes
Speaker 2: are maybe gonna be victims. But I'm I'm only seeing
Speaker 2: a hand full of athletes that are picked out very
Speaker 2: intentionally to to sort of perpetuate this narrative about the
Speaker 2: danger of trans athletes. Uh. And if I'm actually looking
Speaker 2: at people that are in danger, it's actually trans people. Yes, exactly,
Speaker 2: have a fucking spirited debate about the fucking like legal
Speaker 2: vilification and dismantling of their lives. Yeah, that's probably worth
Speaker 2: talking about rather than you're fucking five people like who
Speaker 2: lost a swim meet and.
Speaker 1: You're like, this is we gotta start talking about this.
Speaker 1: Even those on these people well a lot of recent
Speaker 1: shows them feel for fifteen minutes after that. Yeah, it's also, well,
Speaker 1: he's like pretty openly misogynistic. He's this is the first
Speaker 1: time he's ever commented on women's sports at all.
Speaker 2: The cynic in me is like, if he does, it's
Speaker 2: just a beat to talk about it, Like this isn't
Speaker 2: as good as the NBA, This is as good as
Speaker 2: like the fucking MLS or some shit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He in two thousand and three when his teams Sognore,
Speaker 1: is that how we're announceding that?
Speaker 2: Dude, I saw that fucking word and I started talking
Speaker 2: about Cannabase. It fucked me up. I have no idea
Speaker 2: what the fuck.
Speaker 1: I looked at it, like your team Massuse.
Speaker 2: It's like, actually a Swane swannge SWANEA Swane was one
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 1: First to go public with doping allegations, and he demonized
Speaker 1: her and called her a quote whore and then another one.
Speaker 2: Wait when someone brought up the fact like this motherfucker
Speaker 2: might be cheating.
Speaker 1: Yes, in two thousand and three somebody word wow for him.
Speaker 1: And then when another woman, the wife of one of
Speaker 1: his teammates, made the same totally accurate allegation, he called
Speaker 1: her a quote crazy bitch, but specifically reiterated to her
Speaker 1: and the press that he never called her a quote
Speaker 1: fat crazy bitch. Uh, which I don't know the details
Speaker 1: of that give telephone, but it just, you know, truly
Speaker 1: uh uh, a piece of shit who's never given any
Speaker 1: thought to women's sports of any sort.
Speaker 2: No, if anything, he's just he's just outing himself as
Speaker 2: a fucking idiotic transphobe. Yes, and he's using it's this
Speaker 2: fucking it's just concern trolling of like and walking your
Speaker 2: way into transphobia, being like, it's not that I'm saying
Speaker 2: anything's wrong. I'm just concerned. Yes, I'm concerned. That's why
Speaker 2: I'm talking about it. But you're You're concern is misguided
Speaker 2: and misdirected and isn't even reasonable because if you're concerned
Speaker 2: to be with people who are absolutely facing a terrible
Speaker 2: outcome because we're legislating against them being able to live
Speaker 2: their fucking lives, how about that, get on your bike
Speaker 2: and go do that one.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it seems like a real piece of shit. Also,
Speaker 1: like just his his whole energy is so like he
Speaker 1: I feel like he's to be I haven't looked at
Speaker 1: his clothing his wardrobe in this, but I feel like
Speaker 1: he's definitely frozen in like the late night like when
Speaker 1: he was at his peak fame.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh yeah, it's probably it's like ats tight T shirts. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's wearing tight T shirts, skinny jeans, itty bitty jeans.
Speaker 1: It's like back carrier and finally we like to check
Speaker 1: them out the box office. The big story from this
Speaker 1: weekend's box office was that The Flash declined seventy three
Speaker 1: percent in its second weekend. So first weekend was a
Speaker 1: big disappointment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, powered by morbid curiosity.
Speaker 1: Yes, and then this weekend seventy three percent decline because
Speaker 1: everybody who saw this movie and wasn't involved in the
Speaker 1: marketing campaign that they apparently had going. Stephen King, I'm
Speaker 1: still I'm still a little so Stephen King called it
Speaker 1: like one of the best movies he's seen in a
Speaker 1: long time on Twitter. I still remember that, like it
Speaker 1: was like a couple months bad before it came out
Speaker 1: see and I was like, huh, so are we what's
Speaker 1: is this Are You Bad can be bought? Turns out
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, it's just there's absolutely no appetite for
Speaker 1: this movie because they, like the DC Universe was like,
Speaker 1: all right, we're not doing this anymore, so these are
Speaker 1: just kind of left over. It's like a lame Duck
Speaker 1: movie from like a lame Duck franchise. So and then
Speaker 1: it turns out it's also bad, So there's not there's
Speaker 1: not much to power people wanting to go see it.
Speaker 1: So across the Spider Verse returned to the top slot.
Speaker 1: Pixar's Elemental was in second, and then right behind the
Speaker 1: Flash was No Hard Feelings, starring Jennifer Lawrence as a
Speaker 1: woman willing to have sex with an introverted nineteen year
Speaker 1: old just for a used buick. Is kind of the premise.
Speaker 1: We loved it trailer, I think when it first came out.
Speaker 1: But it's like a raunchy R rated comedy that they
Speaker 1: don't make anymore.
Speaker 2: You can even bring that word back. I remember that
Speaker 2: was the way when I was at the video store
Speaker 2: looking at eighties comedy movies and trying to figure out
Speaker 2: where they'd be naked ladies. Yeah, like, is this a
Speaker 2: ribald comedy? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Ok, yeah, yes, it's R
Speaker 2: and R for Ribaled.
Speaker 1: Jam Our writer went and checked it out and said,
Speaker 1: it's genuinely weird being in a pack theater full of
Speaker 1: people like laughing and groaning in discomfort at various parts.
Speaker 1: It's like the first one of those movies that come
Speaker 1: out in the theater since Bridesmaids. There's a scene where
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence's character Maddie beats the ship out of some
Speaker 1: teenagers on a beach while completely naked.
Speaker 2: She's naked, beaten up teenagers. Yeah, and this is.
Speaker 1: A big being sold is like Jennifer Lawrence is funny
Speaker 1: the movie, which probably makes sense, like she does seem
Speaker 1: funny in charge, like that's a big part of her
Speaker 1: public persona, but it doesn't feel like it's ever been
Speaker 1: like fully the premise of one of her movies. When
Speaker 1: I even saw on social over the weekend, people were like,
Speaker 1: I work at a movie theater. And the way you
Speaker 1: can tell someone is an actual movie star is when
Speaker 1: people come up to buy it. They don't even know
Speaker 1: the name of the movie. They're like, I'll take two
Speaker 1: tickets for Jennifer Lawrence please, Oh really, And they were like,
Speaker 1: you get it with her and Tom Hanks, and that's
Speaker 1: basically it these days.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I mean I think I'm like trying to
Speaker 2: think of when she's ever had a bit of a
Speaker 2: bit of comedy in her role or like a role
Speaker 2: that's a little bit comedic, and I'm like, I can't remember. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean you always see her like do stuff like
Speaker 2: on like I don't know, like wish you on SnO,
Speaker 2: I'm sure doing stuff here and there, But like I
Speaker 2: guess maybe I wonder if that's like her thing, like
Speaker 2: she's like I want to be a comedian, like telling
Speaker 2: all her reps. She's like, I'm done with this fucking
Speaker 2: acting shit. I want to do rivaled comedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And it did like kind of middle of the road.
Speaker 1: It's like it did well for an indie comedy, but
Speaker 1: it's actually a big studio comedy because it has her
Speaker 1: in it. And Yeah, what's that feet like for her
Speaker 1: to be? I think they said twenty five million maybe,
Speaker 1: so the budget is reportedly actually around seventy million dollars.
Speaker 1: There's there's a problem there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. But I guess, like I get why so
Speaker 2: many people were talking about it, because we've kind of
Speaker 2: lost this genre of film, you know, and people are like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, if this does good, maybe we'll see
Speaker 2: it come back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: So there.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's another rated comedy coming with Will Ferrell
Speaker 1: voicing a like dog with I think Jamie Fox. It's
Speaker 1: called like Strays maybe Strays.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: People are kind of looking to for keep the R
Speaker 1: rated comedy alive in theaters.
Speaker 2: Do you think is there a reason you think it died?
Speaker 2: Is it probably because it's just like a marketing like
Speaker 2: potential like disaster zone, where you like you could go
Speaker 2: all in, And then some people are like, man, people
Speaker 2: aren't going to the movies for that right now, Like
Speaker 2: all those people we used to sell American pie tickets
Speaker 2: do now are parents?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. It's probably just like hard to gauge.
Speaker 1: And also they all seem like, I don't know, First
Speaker 1: of all, you don't get any respect in Hollywood for
Speaker 1: having like a successful like you don't get any of
Speaker 1: the awards or any of the self serious people seem
Speaker 1: to respect in Hollywood.
Speaker 2: And then like what were we saying, like in a
Speaker 2: more revisionous version of the Academy Awards, like Bridesmaid should
Speaker 2: have won more awards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, especially the performance categories, like those are
Speaker 1: the hardest roles to pull off. But comedies get ignored
Speaker 1: at awards season and probably like when it comes to
Speaker 1: like whether you're hired or fired. But like of the
Speaker 1: like box office phenomenon in our lifetime, like you know,
Speaker 1: The Hangover was wild Like that was one of the
Speaker 1: last times I remember a movie that's like opened wide
Speaker 1: and like done well, and then like the next weekend
Speaker 1: did like even better, like it kept like growing and
Speaker 1: growing just on like word of mouth. Right, there are
Speaker 1: these examples of hits, so it doesn't totally make sense
Speaker 1: that they would just be like gone completely. But I
Speaker 1: think it's just the version of Hollywood that we have
Speaker 1: right now that is like, well, but when's the part
Speaker 1: where there's a lightning portal in the sky. That's that's
Speaker 1: the only way people know they're watching a move. Otherwise
Speaker 1: I just release it on the streaming.
Speaker 2: How come the dad didn't get hit in the balls
Speaker 2: a bunch? What? No, it's wildly like when you look
Speaker 2: at that, like when you search highest grossing quote unquote
Speaker 2: comedies first one minions the right group.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that that is where comedies have gone,
Speaker 1: is too derated and PG rated ship for the birds.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right. Those are some of the things
Speaker 1: that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back
Speaker 1: tomorrow with the whole ass episode of the show. Until then,
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
Speaker 1: the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we
Speaker 1: will talk to y'all tomorrow morning. Bye bye,
