Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of On
Speaker 1: Trends Days We Wear Pink. That is courtesy of Moniche
Speaker 1: on the discord. What is that? What's oh?
Speaker 2: That's from uh me girls, Mean girls?
Speaker 1: Good girl? Where is my mind that is being shown
Speaker 1: to mean girls on this podcast?
Speaker 2: I know up, I don't, don't.
Speaker 1: Let's just desplicable.
Speaker 2: Let's move forward. Let's move forward, all.
Speaker 1: Right, to so a couple of stories on the ongoing
Speaker 1: situation Gaza. You know, I think one thing that I've
Speaker 1: heard come up from a lot of people is the question,
Speaker 1: you know, as as we're seeing Israel, uh the Israeli
Speaker 1: military fully bombarded Gaza and like just blowing up the
Speaker 1: entire blocks of apartment buildings and you know, residential areas,
Speaker 1: is like, well, can the people just leave? Have the
Speaker 1: people just left?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: You know, they were told to leave, they're told to leave.
Speaker 1: Can they just leave? And so there is the story
Speaker 1: that you know, the US is working on a plan
Speaker 1: to evacuate innocent American and Palestinian citizens from Gaza along
Speaker 1: the southern path to Egypt, according to a Jerusalem Post report.
Speaker 1: But you know that there's a couple of reasons that
Speaker 1: this is I don't know. First of all, one thing,
Speaker 1: like I keep seeing the phrase like Israeli military is
Speaker 1: pounding Gaza and yeah, yeah, no, they're blowing up innocent
Speaker 1: people's sag.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a see.
Speaker 2: The rhetoric is is like like we're saying, it's it's
Speaker 2: so out of control, like with the sort of like
Speaker 2: the vengeance undertones of everything. Yeah, and like it's just
Speaker 2: always like it's not really reported. It's become just so
Speaker 2: sensational and along with all like the misinformation, it's become
Speaker 2: very just like good. I'm like I constantly have trouble
Speaker 2: processing everything I'm seeing, to the point where, like I
Speaker 2: said the other day, can't even look at Twitter anymore
Speaker 2: because it's so like rife with all kinds of misinformation.
Speaker 2: But to that point, yeah, I mean, like with the
Speaker 2: Gaza thing, there's a lot of things where or there
Speaker 2: was a lot of people pointing to the fact that like, well,
Speaker 2: they're telling people to leave so then they don't have
Speaker 2: to experience the siege that is taking place. But when
Speaker 2: you look at the news and how people can even
Speaker 2: enter or exit Gaza, it doesn't seem that easy or
Speaker 2: possible right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just a note of context on what it's like
Speaker 1: to try and get out of Gaza for innocent Palestinian citizens.
Speaker 1: Like before all of this happened, Palestinian people are often
Speaker 1: not able to get out of Gaza for medical emergencies.
Speaker 1: When a child has cancer, they have to wait for
Speaker 1: Israel to grant them the papers they need to leave,
Speaker 1: which can take weeks or never arrive. And so you
Speaker 1: have children dying from preventable diseases because there's like no
Speaker 1: chemo clinic in Gaza. Right, So the idea that at
Speaker 1: this time of war and vengeance, Israel will suddenly start
Speaker 1: to let Palestinian citizens leave in moss like seems less
Speaker 1: likely than I'd hoped, I guess heading into the researching
Speaker 1: of it, Like, yeah, you know. And also the the
Speaker 1: Biden like passage plan is supposed to be letting the
Speaker 1: innocent people in Gaza leave through the Southern passage to
Speaker 1: Egypt and Israel. The Israeli military bombed that passage, yeah, and.
Speaker 2: There was like an air strike there. Now the Egyptians
Speaker 2: I think have closed down that crossing. Yeah, because again
Speaker 2: like from their perspective, they're they don't know, they're not
Speaker 2: trying to deal with them like a huge exodus from Gaza,
Speaker 2: and now people are truly just sort of stuck there
Speaker 2: with everything that's happening, and like to this point of
Speaker 2: like all the misinformation there have been, like I see
Speaker 2: so many of like we just see this pattern regardless
Speaker 2: of the details, which is like Hamas has done this. Therefore,
Speaker 2: the flattening of Gaza is on the table, and even
Speaker 2: if there are innocent people there, that's on the table
Speaker 2: because of these enumerated people, Like yeah, and I get it,
Speaker 2: Like for when you hear that innocent people are being
Speaker 2: killed indiscriminately, it's not a far stretch to then believe
Speaker 2: a lot of other horrific things that are being said
Speaker 2: like that, you know, and I'm sorry to have to
Speaker 2: say this, like the babies are being decapitated, and there's
Speaker 2: been a lot that's been something that's been talked about
Speaker 2: a lot, and a lot of news outlets are now
Speaker 2: sort of beginning to walk that back, walk it back,
Speaker 2: or say that came from this person who spoke to
Speaker 2: a soul 're not necessarily someone from like the military
Speaker 2: command who gave them this information, And that has completely
Speaker 2: proliferated and again created another narrative to say like Okay,
Speaker 2: the further like dehumanization of the people in Gaza, I'd
Speaker 2: be like, well, you know, I guess like if this happened,
Speaker 2: then their death is actually justifiable. And that's what again,
Speaker 2: like we were saying yesterday, it's so fucking wild to
Speaker 2: watch this narrative sort of pick up steam because when
Speaker 2: you look at Twitter, Twitter, like so many people are
Speaker 2: getting stuff from Twitter, and really that's just stuff that's
Speaker 2: coming from Telegram a lot of the time. Now the
Speaker 2: amount of shit that, like I said, even last time
Speaker 2: when I was like, oh I think Biden may have
Speaker 2: okayed eight billion, like that was completely concocted and was
Speaker 2: going around on Twitter, or like things that people are
Speaker 2: showing destruction in Gaza that's from like years ago or
Speaker 2: sometimes not even Gaza, or showing people like like a
Speaker 2: woman that was burned alive that was actually comes from
Speaker 2: like a clip that was filmed in Guatemala years ago.
Speaker 2: That we are now like just all of this very
Speaker 2: provocative violent shit anding whirling and yeah, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: the momentum is not slowing down and now like we're
Speaker 2: only just seeing like reports on how much like these
Speaker 2: buildings are being flat like and again that this is
Speaker 2: kind of on the table because of X, Y and Z.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and it's you know, horrible things happened
Speaker 1: to a lot of people, So it might seem like
Speaker 1: a weird time to be policing the specifics of what
Speaker 1: happened to who in what way. But when you have
Speaker 1: you know, military officials specifically using phrases like animals when
Speaker 1: describing their enemies, and then when the innocent among them
Speaker 1: are not being afforded an opportunity to escape, like, it
Speaker 1: is important that you know, things are made clear and
Speaker 1: that misinformation is not able to just be you know,
Speaker 1: spread indiscriminately and without consequences. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Just the thing that makes it so difficult is like,
Speaker 2: it's valid for people to be upset that the innocent
Speaker 2: people are being murdered and kidnapped, and it's also completely
Speaker 2: valid for people to feel like the entire world has
Speaker 2: ignored their plight up until this moment, and try and
Speaker 2: see the pendulum swing in the other direction and the
Speaker 2: empathy go in that direction. Where it gets really tricky
Speaker 2: is when you start seeing this manifest into the kind
Speaker 2: of rhetoric where you're seeing people in the streets being like, yeah,
Speaker 2: fucking destroy Gaza like it needs to disappear, or people
Speaker 2: are saying all kinds of wild anti Semitic shit overtly covertly.
Speaker 2: That level of the dysfunction of like our ability to
Speaker 2: sort of communicate is just being exacerbated right now. And
Speaker 2: I think this is kind of a new It feels
Speaker 2: very different right because, like the conflict in Ukraine was
Speaker 2: sort of one of the first times we were just
Speaker 2: seeing armed conflict play out on social media, like with
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff like coming out at you or like,
Speaker 2: and at least with this sort of the amount of
Speaker 2: content that was coming out, and now we're now we're
Speaker 2: seeing it with all kinds of misinformation being injected and accelerated.
Speaker 2: That it's really like, I don't blame a lot of
Speaker 2: people who are just trying to be like I don't
Speaker 2: know what to think right now, and you just like
Speaker 2: all I can do is like go on Reuters where
Speaker 2: they have like a fact like a fact check section
Speaker 2: of their website that is constantly being updated trying to
Speaker 2: keep up with clips that are being shared, whether it's
Speaker 2: like fake audio that was added to a CNN clip
Speaker 2: about people ducking rocket fire or clips of people like
Speaker 2: apparently people celebrating in certain parts of the country, but
Speaker 2: that was from years ago and completely predates the conflict
Speaker 2: or that they're like there was photos of the Israeli
Speaker 2: flag on skyscrapers and Nazerbaijan, and that was actually from
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. Like they're all these things that are nudging
Speaker 2: people into these different sort of perspectives or their view
Speaker 2: on it, and that's what I that's what really I
Speaker 2: don't like, how are how are we going to de
Speaker 2: escalate from that? Because when you see something that like
Speaker 2: that or hear something like that, it is upsetting. It
Speaker 2: starts putting you your mind in a completely different direction.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm I'm really curious see if like if
Speaker 2: ex Twitter, whatever, the fuck they're gonna get their shit together.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but yeah, this is just yeah, it's
Speaker 2: fucking it's it's unreal, like how this much back and
Speaker 2: forth happening, Like even on like my own social media,
Speaker 2: like watching people have like really really bad takes where
Speaker 2: like they don't need to be and a lot of
Speaker 2: it too, will be like based on some shit and
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, just so you know, like that's not true,
Speaker 2: Like what you're what you just said or what you
Speaker 2: think is happening, and like, all over the place, you
Speaker 2: have people conflating the Israeli government with the religion of Judaism,
Speaker 2: and the same way that people are conflating Hamas with
Speaker 2: Palestinian people and what every single Palestinian person wants. And
Speaker 2: but again you have all of these clips, videos, things
Speaker 2: that reinforce one of those worldviews. And if you can
Speaker 2: just see, like, how are the how can people come
Speaker 2: to the table if they're already being like, no, this
Speaker 2: is too much, this is too much, this is too much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back and talk about something else, and we're back,
Speaker 1: and all right. A couple non war stories. So Jerry
Speaker 1: Seinfeld has teased a Seinfeld reunion kind of So basically,
Speaker 1: he was doing a Q and A on like at
Speaker 1: a live show and somebody asked about the last episode
Speaker 1: of Seinfeld and he claimed that he has a secret
Speaker 1: about the ending, that something is going to happen with
Speaker 1: that ending.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He's even been talking with Larry David about the ending.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, an actual reunion or a continuation
Speaker 1: of the show seems very unlikely, considering that he has
Speaker 1: repeatedly bristled at the idea of a straight up reunion.
Speaker 1: U R we already got a fake Seinfeld reunion on curb.
Speaker 1: I unfortunately, I feel like this is going to be
Speaker 1: a super Bowl commercial.
Speaker 2: It's going to be oh no. But is there like
Speaker 2: anything that says that there's there's something to that, Like
Speaker 2: there they got Kenny Rogers's deale or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's either nothing or it's a super Bowl commercial.
Speaker 1: You know that.
Speaker 2: It's either nothing or it's a super Bowl commercial for Crypto.
Speaker 2: Right this time again with Larry Day, the whole cast off,
Speaker 2: Seinfeld is going to show for Crypto again.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's what I'll tell you. Okay, but you can't
Speaker 1: tell anybody, he continued. Something is going to happen with
Speaker 1: that ending. It hasn't happened yet, and just what you
Speaker 1: have been thinking about Larry and I have been talking about,
Speaker 1: so you'll see. But obviously I can't say yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: If I don't know, and you can put yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know. If you could put Michael Richards back in the mix.
Speaker 1: Now, probably not, but yeah, sure. Ul Ice stretched into
Speaker 1: a thirty second Super Bowl commercial. Uh with some of them,
Speaker 1: some of the people, the Fairis Bueller one that was there,
Speaker 1: Back to the Future one, Ferris Bueller one was pretty uh.
Speaker 2: And I feel like, yeah, there's always some like weird,
Speaker 2: half fast attempt to like get all these people together again.
Speaker 2: But then it just it just falls flat every time.
Speaker 2: But hey, look, just dig up the old ip man,
Speaker 2: bring it back one more time.
Speaker 1: We have a contender for the wildest pre column disclosure
Speaker 1: of the year. Thus far from the Washington Po opinion section.
Speaker 2: This is where like you would say, like these are
Speaker 2: I might have conflicts of interest, Like yes, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm writing about the environment, and I have at one
Speaker 2: point I did get money from Exxon to do something.
Speaker 2: But that was years ago. But just in the name
Speaker 2: of full disclosure, that happened, that kind of thing, right.
Speaker 1: So this is an opinion piece on the Washington Post
Speaker 1: titled Tim Scott, please drop out, urge others to follow
Speaker 1: and unite behind Haley by George F. Will, a columnist,
Speaker 1: and the disclosure at the beginning is the columnist's wife,
Speaker 1: Mary Will, an advisor to Republican presidential candidate. Senator Tim
Speaker 1: Scott disagrees with his with this column this man's trying
Speaker 1: to get divorced. I feel like this is like.
Speaker 2: Who and who writes that he had to do that
Speaker 2: in the third person?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, maybe maybe the editorial team.
Speaker 2: They're like herd man, what's your wife saying? She's she
Speaker 2: disagrees hard, but that's.
Speaker 1: What she saying to his wife when she comes into work.
Speaker 1: You see this ship? Mary? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well you what's he doing? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Tim
Speaker 2: let me. What can I say? He thinks he thinks
Speaker 2: he should drop out and we should all unite about
Speaker 2: all unite around Nikki Haley. Who, come on, y'all, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be Trump. Stop. There's no there's no there's no
Speaker 2: math that adds up to it not being Trump right
Speaker 2: now unless something comes down that actually legally prevents him
Speaker 2: from running.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, it would be good to have somebody
Speaker 1: just kind of sitting there waiting, waiting. But I I
Speaker 1: also don't think that anybody like knows anything about like
Speaker 1: who's the best candidate for for their case. And no,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't care. I would love for them
Speaker 1: all to drop out except for one, and for that
Speaker 1: one to be the wrong person. So I'm with this
Speaker 1: guy do it? Everybody drop out except Nikki Hayley. Let's
Speaker 1: talk Aaron Rodgers real quick. Yeah he's at it, back
Speaker 1: at it again. Yeah. So this like last week, I
Speaker 1: guess he attended a Chiefs Jets game. He was mad
Speaker 1: to be overshadowed by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey, which
Speaker 1: everything is being overshadowed. They might cancel the super Bowl
Speaker 1: because like this story is just so much bigger than
Speaker 1: the NFL now that Taylor Swift is involved, and so
Speaker 1: she attended the game. Everyone was looking at her. He
Speaker 1: also attended the game, not as many people were looking
Speaker 1: at him. Uh, he's he's injured this year. And in
Speaker 1: his recap he was describing Travis Kelsey as mister Fizer.
Speaker 1: He has like a Boomhower voice, like, which I didn't realize.
Speaker 1: It's like it feels like the Hill. Can we can
Speaker 1: we listen?
Speaker 2: Is it like, uh, like an affect he's putting on
Speaker 2: because he's from Chico, California. So I'm like, oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: where where did you? Where did you pick that up?
Speaker 2: But yeah, here's uh, here's one of the clips here listen.
Speaker 3: You know, mister Pizer said he didn't think he would
Speaker 3: be in a vax war with me. There's not even
Speaker 3: a war, homie, this is just conversation. Hey man, if
Speaker 3: you want to have some sort of duel debate.
Speaker 2: Podcast, it sounds more like Hank Hill than Boom Howard
Speaker 2: to be out.
Speaker 4: It's like, Bob, you want to have a war with me?
Speaker 4: We want to have mister, Yeah, I mean he wants
Speaker 4: he wants to have a vax war. And apparently he
Speaker 4: what proposed like a no holds barred cage debate with
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers and r f K versus fucking Travis and
Speaker 4: doctor Fauci, like.
Speaker 1: Come together now you know you're in trouble.
Speaker 2: Yeah please?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Yeah, I bet that would be like smart
Speaker 1: and everybody would be no dumber for having heard that debate.
Speaker 2: Well they're at it. They should debate about the conflict
Speaker 2: between Hamas and Israel.
Speaker 1: Would be that's about Oh.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone should. In fact, nobody should,
Speaker 2: but like holy ship, the level of like the self
Speaker 2: importance of being like yo, no man, like I'm I'm
Speaker 2: I'm here to fucking actually make this point and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tear down Fauci and Travis.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's it.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, mister poser.
Speaker 1: All right, mister want to come down do dang thing.
Speaker 1: They just damn ass.
Speaker 2: Everybody's got a good hand killing.
Speaker 1: That's good. That's a good one. All right. Well Miles,
Speaker 1: those are some of the things that are trending in
Speaker 1: this Wednesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with the whole
Speaker 1: last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
Speaker 1: each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't
Speaker 1: do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to
Speaker 1: you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bite, bite,
