Speaker 1: Did you see the new alien movie? I would guess
Speaker 1: I would assume the filmmaker prides itself on like having
Speaker 1: disturbing things to say about, like the body horror of
Speaker 1: like childbirth and you know, procreation, and but they still
Speaker 1: let you know she's pregnant in the most cliched way possible.
Speaker 1: She just throws up in a toilet and you're like,
Speaker 1: that she pregnant.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It could be a lot of weird aliens,
Speaker 2: but that's pregnancy.
Speaker 1: It's the short of But it's like undefeated. I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe it when I saw it because also they're like
Speaker 1: in a like doing a vomit comet type situation in
Speaker 1: a spacecraft, so it like makes sense that she would
Speaker 1: throw up, and she runs off and throws up in
Speaker 1: another woman's like how long has it been? How long
Speaker 1: have you been pregnant? A different world.
Speaker 2: Just immediately, rather than like, oh you had the Salisbury steak. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that'll do that to you.
Speaker 1: Guys. If I ever cough and then look down at
Speaker 1: my hand and then put my hand below and then
Speaker 1: look around nervously, it's it's because I got TV and
Speaker 1: you can just you need to start looking for a replacement.
Speaker 2: It's funny how though too Like all like the big
Speaker 2: shows also have to have it, Like The Walking Dead
Speaker 2: has a blood cough, The Sopranos has had a blood cough.
Speaker 2: Lost has had a blood cough. Better call Saul has
Speaker 2: had Like it's like.
Speaker 1: Popped his cherry. That's what Like the great TV showrunners
Speaker 1: are saying they want to get a blood cough.
Speaker 2: I did the blood cough on tell you to keep.
Speaker 1: You see so welcome to the club. Brother.
Speaker 2: The one I think of two is in like Bobby
Speaker 2: Bacalaw's dad has to do that hit and he's so old, remember,
Speaker 2: and he's like coughing blood up all the time. And
Speaker 2: one of him he does like a little blood cough
Speaker 2: and you're like a Bobby bocodad.
Speaker 1: Not long for this show.
Speaker 2: Bobby blood of.
Speaker 1: One of the lesser Wu tang a kas a ka
Speaker 1: Bobby blood cough. That was that was before you maybe
Speaker 1: just go digital on this one.
Speaker 2: Bobby blood cough is that it sounds like a zarw
Speaker 2: from from Russia.
Speaker 1: Feel does kind of sound like it Azar?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was blood.
Speaker 1: It's bloody b from the Miracle that Ivan Drago's last
Speaker 1: name was not blood cough blood is pretty good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
Speaker 1: of a production of iHeart Radio Cook Crisp. Sorry, Brian,
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to max things out. My name is Jack.
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be joined by mister Miles.
Speaker 2: WHOA, we're not doing funny case now. I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: just a guy. I'm just a washed old man trying
Speaker 2: to make sense of all the iconography and symbology around
Speaker 2: me changing at such a pace. I don't know what
Speaker 2: anything is anymorets aren't even on the box of Cookie
Speaker 2: Crisp anymore.
Speaker 1: You're like Red or not Red, the guy who gets
Speaker 1: out and shawsh hank and is like the everybody went
Speaker 1: and got in a big damn hurry all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: All right, well yo, sorry, just a bit of Lord.
Speaker 2: They changed that shit back in two thousand and five. Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking before we started recording about the
Speaker 1: Cookie Crisp, about Cereal mascots, and they changed away from
Speaker 1: the burglar to a coyote.
Speaker 2: It appears like a wolf. Yeah, Chip the wolf, Chip
Speaker 2: the wolf.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I have since then not seen nor heard
Speaker 1: of Cookie Crisp.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I thought they backed the blue I thought
Speaker 2: I thought you guys back to the Blue Cookie.
Speaker 1: Crisp. All right, this is the episode where we tell
Speaker 1: you what was trending over the weekend. But first we
Speaker 1: get to know each other a little bit better by
Speaker 1: telling you some things we think is overrated underrated? Miles,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Overrated? Video game reviews, specifically about Star Wars games. Now,
Speaker 2: this is sort of my gamer take right now. There's
Speaker 2: there's a video game I've been waiting for for a
Speaker 2: long time called Star Wars Outlaws, where it's basically like
Speaker 2: an open world game where you can you could hop
Speaker 2: on a ship and like, yo, we're going to another planet.
Speaker 2: We got to go to Taxo we now, and you
Speaker 2: could just leave and mob over to another planet, get
Speaker 2: on speeder bikes, do all this kind of stuff, do
Speaker 2: heists and so like, as somebody who loves open world games,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, this is perfect because I love Star Wars.
Speaker 2: I love the aesthetic of Star Wars and all that.
Speaker 2: And the reviews, like people were getting early review copies
Speaker 2: and everyone was saying how shitty the game was, Like
Speaker 2: it's so bad, it's terrible, Like it's not worth it whatever,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, damn, so I guess I'll
Speaker 2: probably hold off. Usually, like when I'm hyped about a
Speaker 2: Star Wars game, like I'll get it. I don't care
Speaker 2: about the reviews, but all the reviews seem like universally
Speaker 2: like this thing is bad, don't buy it. I get it,
Speaker 2: and it's really not bad at all. Like there are
Speaker 2: a lot of things, like in terms of game mechanics
Speaker 2: that I think are different than what people expect. So
Speaker 2: that's where like a lot of the pain is coming from.
Speaker 2: But it looks really good. I'm having a lot of
Speaker 2: fun with it, and I don't know, like I think
Speaker 2: I'm realizing too that there needs to be like reviews
Speaker 2: for people who are like so into all the finite
Speaker 2: things about what makes a game a game as someone
Speaker 2: who's played games forever decades, like I'm very savvy about games.
Speaker 2: But there's also like an element of when I play
Speaker 2: a game, I don't need it to be like the
Speaker 2: game of the year. I just kind of need an
Speaker 2: escape where I'm like, look at these beautiful landscapes, like
Speaker 2: and I'm going so fast on a speeder bike. I
Speaker 2: crashed into the side of a Hut and broke it.
Speaker 2: But that's okay because the landscapes were so beautiful and
Speaker 2: Job of the Hut, yes, yes, that used to be
Speaker 2: a Pizza the Hut, but it got you know, private
Speaker 2: equity took over and you know, you know what happened
Speaker 2: to the Job of the Hut quickly. But no, like
Speaker 2: it was just one of those things where like the
Speaker 2: the public sort of like the mainstream public opinion of
Speaker 2: this game was so negative that it was as if
Speaker 2: they're like, dude, if you pick up their controller and
Speaker 2: play this, you will get a blood cough just from
Speaker 2: how bad this thing is. And it was like, it's fine,
Speaker 2: I've played way worse games, but I think endorsement No, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm not I'm not saying I'm not
Speaker 2: here to say this is the best game. Ever, however,
Speaker 2: like there are reviews, like the sort of momentum of
Speaker 2: reviews is almost like do not even cast your gaze
Speaker 2: upon the game because it's so bad. And I played it,
Speaker 2: and I'm like it's fine, Like it's not like I'm
Speaker 2: not I'm not supremely upset by these things that a
Speaker 2: lot of people are pointing out because for me again.
Speaker 2: I need I just want a little bit of escapism.
Speaker 2: I just want to put my music on, ride a
Speaker 2: speeder bike, get into some things with my hood rat friends,
Speaker 2: and you know, move on with my day. So anyway,
Speaker 2: I just think I'm reminded of my mother's stage like
Speaker 2: wisdom to me ever since I was I was my
Speaker 2: first day of school, which she always said, always have
Speaker 2: your own judgment and have your own opinion about something.
Speaker 2: Don't just accept somebody else's like, learn for yourself. And
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, mama, but I let the reviews
Speaker 2: poison my perception of it. And then like a few
Speaker 2: of my friends were playing, they like, yeah, it's fine,
Speaker 2: Like it's not it's not so it's not so bad.
Speaker 2: I regret it. Just it's but if you know what
Speaker 2: you want, it's great. And I see some zych ganger playing.
Speaker 2: I wish it was online so we could all play together.
Speaker 2: But I would love to hear Zitgang's opinions of this
Speaker 2: game too.
Speaker 1: Is kind of cohere and like influence each other and
Speaker 1: like we'll take on sort of a gravitational like pool
Speaker 1: where like if one person says it's like yeah, then
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of it, there'll be a chorus, especially.
Speaker 2: If you're like at the top too, and like the
Speaker 2: prevailing opinions from people who are sort of like at
Speaker 2: the top of their review game is sort of like, yo,
Speaker 2: this just sucks, right, then you might if you also
Speaker 2: have a channel or something or an outlet, like maybe
Speaker 2: you're just kind of like, well, I don't want to
Speaker 2: be the one out here being like it's not that bad, y'all.
Speaker 2: But I'm now seeing plenty of reviews now that the
Speaker 2: game is fully out, people are like it's fine, Like
Speaker 2: it's not. Again, it's not the best game ever. And
Speaker 2: I guess because of that, people built up in their
Speaker 2: minds that this would be the best, greatest game ever
Speaker 2: and because it's falling short, therefore it's trash. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: it is what it is, and I think the I
Speaker 2: think it really does a good job of like at
Speaker 2: least visually pulling off like the the aesthetic of Star Wars. Now,
Speaker 2: mind you, I'm like like a not even halfway through
Speaker 2: the game, but I'm just saying, yeah, I wasn't disappointed,
Speaker 2: and I'm glad I took a risk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel it like I definitely a guilty pleasure
Speaker 1: of my is like reading movie and like music reviews,
Speaker 1: and I've noticed that they off a lot of times,
Speaker 1: like the person or like the whoever's getting credit for
Speaker 1: a given movie or like a work like album or
Speaker 1: something will get be getting credit for the last thing
Speaker 1: they did on this review. Like there's like a lag
Speaker 1: because it just like influences how you feel about a thing,
Speaker 1: like and so you know, people in the moment aren't
Speaker 1: able to deal with their feelings of like a really
Speaker 1: great album or like movie, and then you know you'll
Speaker 1: you'll suddenly see their next thing be like really highly rated,
Speaker 1: the most highly rated thing they they've done, and it's like,
Speaker 1: actually it's kind of derivative compared to like what the
Speaker 1: stuff they did in the first place. Yeah, there's just
Speaker 1: always a lot going on with revi Use, But I
Speaker 1: still consume them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do too, That's what I'm saying. I
Speaker 2: love them the same way. And I was like, oh damn,
Speaker 2: this just sounds like an l Yeah, but and like
Speaker 2: the graund like but again, it's I think with something
Speaker 2: like with games, it really is subjective. Like people play
Speaker 2: games for a myriad of different reasons. Some do it
Speaker 2: because they need to literally feel like they are in
Speaker 2: the most authentically recreated Star Wars world. Sometimes you just
Speaker 2: need something to blow steam off so you're not as
Speaker 2: invested in like how every single thing turns out. But anyway, yeah,
Speaker 2: just just just decide for yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, similarly, one of my oprateds is like
Speaker 1: my ability to resist a list like the uh, like
Speaker 1: the one Rolling Stone just put out the excuse me,
Speaker 1: the list of top TV show episodes. Did you see
Speaker 1: that in like the top fifty TV show episodes of
Speaker 1: all time?
Speaker 2: I saw that people were talking about it like last week,
Speaker 2: but I never I didn't. I didn't bother to like
Speaker 2: actually look at it, because again I'm like, what the
Speaker 2: fuck are you know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fatally flawed, like by design, because like everyone's
Speaker 1: favorite episode is going to be like not this one
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the time, so you're just like pissing
Speaker 1: off pissing off super fans. But then for everything else,
Speaker 1: like you're like, oh, yeah, I remember that that was
Speaker 1: actually like really fun, you know, and then it just
Speaker 1: it is the perfect machine for just generating like the
Speaker 1: specifically doing TV show episodes. For some reason, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's kind of a brilliant piece of clickbait because right
Speaker 1: it reminds you of something specific, you're actually going to
Speaker 1: disagree with it because it's like wrong most of the time,
Speaker 1: and you can't like pick one out of like an
Speaker 1: entire series that's going to be the one that everybody
Speaker 1: agrees with. But it also like by getting specific, you're like,
Speaker 1: you know, it forces you to be specific because you're like,
Speaker 1: that's actually not the best episode. This is the best episode,
Speaker 1: and it also reminds you of something specific. So I
Speaker 1: was unable to resist reading that, and you know, developing
Speaker 1: a lot of opinions.
Speaker 2: I think it's just such a like a brat in
Speaker 2: my mind, I'm just like, if it if it's not,
Speaker 2: If I don't agree with it from the jump, it's
Speaker 2: bullshit and I don't want to be upset you.
Speaker 1: Also, I have paperwork as overrated just I don't know,
Speaker 1: I had an annoying thing happen over the weekend, having
Speaker 1: to like you a cop. Yeah, all those goddamn paperwork
Speaker 1: fill out on that.
Speaker 2: Body cam could turn it into a report using age.
Speaker 1: Just say, I don't recommend having an apostrophe in your
Speaker 1: last name.
Speaker 2: Wait, what the fuck happened?
Speaker 1: It's just like I had to Basically I signed up
Speaker 1: for this thing twice, and like once or I was
Speaker 1: was signed up for it under Jack and the other
Speaker 1: one was signed up under my actual name, John, and
Speaker 1: so there were like these two profiles, and so I
Speaker 1: just had to like re upload and refile all this
Speaker 1: paperwork I'd already done, only to find out at the
Speaker 1: end of it it was like, oh, you just had
Speaker 1: to like report this. But like the piece of mail
Speaker 1: that I got was like intense, so I was just
Speaker 1: like on it. You know, we got I'm in trouble.
Speaker 2: You will get blood cough in ten minutes if you
Speaker 2: do not upload your paperwork.
Speaker 1: But I just feel like we're all constantly in this
Speaker 1: world of like especially in America, like whether it's taxes
Speaker 1: or health insurance. We've talked about how like in other
Speaker 1: countries taxes they just send you the bill. They're not
Speaker 1: like all right, so you know, you're not having to
Speaker 1: do all this paperwork. Having to do taxes is not
Speaker 1: like a job in other places, or at least at
Speaker 1: the job that is done by the government behind a wall,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to deal with that shit.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing your paperwork wasn't literal paperwork right, Like you
Speaker 2: could do this over the internet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could do it over the internet. I did not.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, my man, Japan, you want to
Speaker 2: talk about Backwardians, Dude, it's every shit is still on paper,
Speaker 2: like you'd have to go to a municipal office to like, dude,
Speaker 2: like they're like E file what, No, bring the papers
Speaker 2: in here and fill it out if you hand them
Speaker 2: to me, and it better not be wrinkled. You better
Speaker 2: bring that ship in a folder too. Oh really slop.
Speaker 2: I mean like it's just more culturally like people would
Speaker 2: never bring like a folded like application, like you would
Speaker 2: keep it completely pristine. It's just look, it's well, we
Speaker 2: all have the cultural quirks, but having not not folding
Speaker 2: up paper, that's I no, no, not for anything important.
Speaker 1: That I don't know. I just I feel like it's
Speaker 1: the thing we all deal with, and it's like a
Speaker 1: type of hell that everyone's just like goddamn, like you know,
Speaker 1: like have we all have hanging over our head? And
Speaker 1: like I think in America a lot of it is
Speaker 1: the right having been like small you know, small government
Speaker 1: is better because government is incompetent. And then depriving government
Speaker 1: of all the jobs that make it not incompetent, so
Speaker 1: that like all the misery is passed on to us,
Speaker 1: and then the job you're dealing with government governmental bureaucrats
Speaker 1: is a pain in the ass because they fired all
Speaker 1: of them. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just think it like you know, how you go
Speaker 2: like a new doctor and shit, and you got to
Speaker 2: fill out like seventy pages worth of paperwork. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: wish like I could just like in my mind, I'm
Speaker 2: seeing how my browseruld be like auto fill.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yes, yeah, do this please that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, can I get a digital version that I
Speaker 2: could upload into my browser that would practice well, I
Speaker 2: mean it just has my address, but a lot of
Speaker 2: the stuff where like you're your own medical history. I
Speaker 2: get that that shit changes, but I guess it's all
Speaker 2: to say my hand cramps easy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you guys want to like give us a
Speaker 1: reason to like ai U s A I to like
Speaker 1: get rid of all the fucking paperwork we have to do.
Speaker 1: Let it like intuitively know that just because an apostrophe
Speaker 1: is missing, everything else is the same, So those are
Speaker 1: the same person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cut to when that shit completely misidentifies you as
Speaker 2: some like scoundrel from like eighteen hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, myles, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Underrated? This is a quick one. So I'm on the
Speaker 2: precipice of turning forty. This is my last this is
Speaker 2: my last Monday of being in my thirties. So I
Speaker 2: just want everybody to know that this is my last
Speaker 2: Monday of my thirties, all right, because Sunday I will
Speaker 2: be turning forty years old and truly going to the
Speaker 2: washed world. But I think what's underrated just like the
Speaker 2: small details that kind of make you realize how how
Speaker 2: much time is getting like generationally popular culture is getting
Speaker 2: away from you. Because I saw some viral tweet where
Speaker 2: the punchline was about like quote like looking like the
Speaker 2: guy from Limp Biscuit, And in my mind, as somebody
Speaker 2: who has you know, done a lot of comedy, taking
Speaker 2: a lot of impron done a lot of improv, you
Speaker 2: take classes, and you know, specificity is something that you
Speaker 2: always talk about in comedy, Like there's something a little
Speaker 2: bit funnier about being specific when you're landing a joke.
Speaker 2: And in my mind, I'm like, why don't just say
Speaker 2: Fred Durst, right, like that's that's the guy from Limp Biscuit.
Speaker 2: It's specific and more funny. But then in the reply
Speaker 2: someone also mentioned that they're like, oh, you mean Fred Durst,
Speaker 2: and some of the younger people replied like who the
Speaker 2: fuck is that, like truly being like we know the
Speaker 2: Limp Biscuit guy, we don't know who the fuck Fred
Speaker 2: Durst is. So I was like, oh, the tides of
Speaker 2: washed nests have now come upon the Limp Biscuit shores
Speaker 2: for us to know that we no longer we're not
Speaker 2: close enough to use that kind of specificity and have
Speaker 2: it be understood because now there's a new generation like
Speaker 2: younger people are jal just saying yeah, the red the
Speaker 2: red Yankee hat guy from Limp Biscuit and like that
Speaker 2: was just one of those small things, and I'm like, ah,
Speaker 2: but I am of that generation that knows him as
Speaker 2: Frederick Durst Durst fame, and so yeah, the young's I
Speaker 2: get it. It's like in the same way like when
Speaker 2: I didn't know, like like I don't know who Gene
Speaker 2: Simmons was, I would say like the Monster band guys,
Speaker 2: like when I was younger or and then I knew Kiss,
Speaker 2: but I still know Jene Simmons was I'd be like
Speaker 2: the guy from Kiss, which I get because again that
Speaker 2: for me, that distance, I'm like, I wasn't fucking with
Speaker 2: Kiss like that, to know who you know, like they
Speaker 2: popped up in pop culture, but not in no way
Speaker 2: that I would be specific. So now I'm seeing that
Speaker 2: happen with some shit that's you know, like you know,
Speaker 2: the Olympiscuit heyday was like almost thirty years ago now,
Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah, to see good, to see it all
Speaker 2: just just I just love to see time operating and
Speaker 2: the ways I'm noticing and not like, oh I'm getting
Speaker 2: a bunch of gray nosehirs or like all this other
Speaker 2: weird shit. I'm like, they don't call him Fred, they
Speaker 2: don't call him by his name.
Speaker 1: From It's Over, even though there was a guy from
Speaker 1: Olympiscuit with a very different look, but I'm sure given Toland, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Wes Borland with the like with the wild contact.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to younger people who are like you
Speaker 2: should have seen these guys fucking having a crisis, being
Speaker 2: like yo Westborol, Like, who the fuck are these guys?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, I mean twenty seven years ago, so when
Speaker 1: their album came out twenty seven years before that was
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy, so you know, that's I didn't know who.
Speaker 1: Like if you had been like, I mean, this guy's
Speaker 1: over here looking like Sid Barrett, I would have been like,
Speaker 1: who's that like a you know, comedian or something, and
Speaker 1: that's actually the singer from Pink Floyd. But I fucking
Speaker 1: wouldn't known that, you know, moon, I think I knew
Speaker 1: who that was, but like only vaguely, Like I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know any of the bands from like nineteen.
Speaker 2: Seventeen, but I mean, like it all, you know, Like
Speaker 2: I remember I thought I thought, wow, like Digital Underground,
Speaker 2: I thought the guy was Humpty Dumpty. Yeah, yeah, Like
Speaker 2: I was like, that's Humpty Dumpty. You know.
Speaker 1: All right, My underrated h one is just really briefly
Speaker 1: watching the US open the chair umpire when people cheer
Speaker 1: and they're not supposed to the chair empire will.
Speaker 3: Go please please in a way so desperate, please please.
Speaker 1: He's the tone of his voice is threatening, just like
Speaker 1: having a complete mental collapse.
Speaker 2: All right, Pipian Ghost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't place his accident because I really only
Speaker 1: ever heard him say please. But Uh was wild that.
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, the US Open is a
Speaker 1: New York saying, you'd think be like, hey, shut the
Speaker 1: fuck up.
Speaker 3: Oh, but it was just please please.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I say that constantly around our house now, to
Speaker 1: the delight of my wife. Once and then I'm still
Speaker 1: saying it, no no more. It's like okay, yeah, we
Speaker 1: got it. Please Sorry, I just pronounced that my wife
Speaker 1: the I also want to just give a shout out
Speaker 1: to Roy Wood Junior on Twitter for highlighting the famous
Speaker 1: beach race between Rocky and Apollo and Rocky three and
Speaker 1: just highlighting the performances in that in that race, because
Speaker 1: I don't know, like the music and context really sell
Speaker 1: a thing. I had not really notice it the way.
Speaker 1: Uh this Twitter post made me realize. But like he
Speaker 1: he's pointing out the like Rocky looks like he's dying,
Speaker 1: Like his face is like straining. He looks like he
Speaker 1: is having an angorism, and all looks like he is jogging, yes,
Speaker 1: which like totally fucks up the contact, like totally fucks
Speaker 1: up if Apollo is letting him win. This is like
Speaker 1: such a it's it is the climactic moment before he
Speaker 1: goes to fight like that. Like the moment after that
Speaker 1: is like they they cut to the fight, but it
Speaker 1: really looks like Apollo is just like kind of amused
Speaker 1: and letting him win the race.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the difference between having an actor
Speaker 2: in Sylvester Stallone pretending to be an athlete and fucking
Speaker 2: Carl Weathers.
Speaker 1: Yes, for the NFL linebacker. I met Carl Weathers. His
Speaker 1: hand was bigger, like his fist was bigger than my head.
Speaker 1: It was I bet so wide.
Speaker 2: I bet I just remember even that prosthetic Handy had
Speaker 2: and happy Gilmour looked.
Speaker 1: That is the one I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: To say, Yo, it's hard as shit too, like.
Speaker 1: Would saloon it's worth watching well, like off to the
Speaker 1: Roy Wood Junior tweet in the footnotes. But Rocky's running
Speaker 1: motion is also like it looks like someone it's inefficient,
Speaker 1: just let him test drive a human body for the
Speaker 1: first time, and like he'd seen someone sprint before, but
Speaker 1: like you.
Speaker 2: Know what he's when I watch it, and someone who's
Speaker 2: been watching a lot of Paralympics and Olympics this summer,
Speaker 2: like in terms of like sprinting, it looks like in
Speaker 2: his mind he's doing he's running in slow motion, Like
Speaker 2: he's seen people sprinting in slow motion and he's doing
Speaker 2: that in like real time because he keeps slam I
Speaker 2: mean his chin down, Like yes, he keeps doing like
Speaker 2: this like headpeck thing, like to make it seem more intense.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just so bad because it's so clear.
Speaker 2: Carl Weathers is like, bro, this is jogging.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He's like kind of looking over at him like
Speaker 1: is this motherfucker for real?
Speaker 2: He's like, is he okay? I better slowed out? Let
Speaker 2: this dude.
Speaker 1: Crisis. He needs it. He needs the confidence booster. Rocky's
Speaker 1: just like being a gas lit into thinking he's the
Speaker 1: best fighter in the world. And then everything after that
Speaker 1: when they jump into the waves to like celebrate, he
Speaker 1: actually drowns and everything after that. He's just a dream
Speaker 1: wish fulfillment.
Speaker 2: Space of purgatory.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually, to your point, I think I remember there
Speaker 1: was they had a sprinter look at various movie running
Speaker 1: styles to be like who is actually a good runner?
Speaker 1: And Tom Cruise was deemed like pretty good but a
Speaker 1: little too upright, But like the one who was like, yo,
Speaker 1: what is that is he running? Was Sylvester Stallone.
Speaker 2: I get that. Yeah, bro muscles, doesn't mean like you're
Speaker 2: a graceful athlete, doesn't mean you've just lifted a bunch
Speaker 2: of shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll come
Speaker 1: back with some news and we're back. We're back, and
Speaker 1: we are one day away from the debate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why could it have been on nine to eleven?
Speaker 1: I mean, just and we just have like a nine
Speaker 1: to eleven off of just like how much they aren't
Speaker 1: forgetting it.
Speaker 2: Because you imagine Trump just makes a bunch of off
Speaker 2: color jokes. I never forget what I mean. You know,
Speaker 2: I saw them cheering from across in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: And now it's I have the tallest building in Manhattan.
Speaker 1: That's the one that he's on. Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he saw something cheering in Jersey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like I saw I saw Arabs cheering in
Speaker 2: New Jersey, saw people cheering in New Jerk.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, pulled into a radio show on the day
Speaker 1: of nine to eleven and specifically said I now have
Speaker 1: the tallest building in the island, which wasn't true. Anyways,
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it's not on nine to eleven. It is on
Speaker 1: nine ten, nineteen, and he is still complaining he's kind
Speaker 1: of run out of like rules to complain about. So
Speaker 1: now he's complaining that he doesn't want Harris to use
Speaker 1: any boxes or artificial lifts, which he considers a form
Speaker 1: of cheating, adding, you are who you are. It was determined.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was determined.
Speaker 1: It was determined. You are who you are.
Speaker 2: Okay, I will you want I mean a little are
Speaker 2: we projecting much, sir?
Speaker 1: Mister shoes, my shoes, my special.
Speaker 2: Shoes, which many people pointed out, like we know, we
Speaker 2: know you're you're doing, you're using some enhancements, sir.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of pictures of him in his
Speaker 1: shoes where his heel is like peeking out of the
Speaker 1: top of the shoes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like anyone who like look at your
Speaker 2: like your foot where the heel meets, like where your
Speaker 2: achilles is, there's that little bump it kind of rounds out.
Speaker 2: Usually you don't see that part out of your shoe,
Speaker 2: whereas like this part you can clearly be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: look at his heel all up high and ship that shoes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and leans a lot we look at I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, like in the immediate aftermath of the
Speaker 1: assassination attempt, like you said, he just kept asking for
Speaker 1: his shoes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then do you think that ship was staged? Yeah,
Speaker 2: shoes would have been fucking glued on.
Speaker 1: That is the only thing I see now on social media.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, is people just talking about how it
Speaker 1: was staged, Like that's seems to be for.
Speaker 2: What for his campaign to take a bigger l right,
Speaker 2: that was so wild even if it was, I know,
Speaker 2: at the time, people were like, oh, this is it.
Speaker 2: He's going to have all the sympathy now and win,
Speaker 2: and sadly like just you know, there was a mass
Speaker 2: shooting again in Georgia last week. There's so many happening
Speaker 2: that they truly at this point just get lost in
Speaker 2: our news cycles. Yeah, for better or worse than Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know if he staged, but anyway,
Speaker 2: the shoes wouldn't have blown off if it was staged.
Speaker 1: And also in the aftermath of the U of the
Speaker 1: assassination attempt, when he was talking about it, he kept
Speaker 1: talking about like how you know they they came and
Speaker 1: tagging me like linebackers and like my shoes, like talking
Speaker 1: about how tight his shoes are on his feet, and
Speaker 1: they still like knocked him out of them. Which is like, wait,
Speaker 1: are you still just covering up for the fact that
Speaker 1: you have left on him?
Speaker 2: Might bring that shit up.
Speaker 1: You just had a near death experience and you're just
Speaker 1: like covered.
Speaker 2: My shoes though, Okay, yeah, go on, but.
Speaker 1: Anyways, you know, let let's go to the tail of
Speaker 1: the tape like a boxing announcer. You know, he is
Speaker 1: reportedly between six two and sixty three with his special
Speaker 1: shoes on. I think most people who've seen him without
Speaker 1: the special shoes on say he's more like five to eleven.
Speaker 1: She is five four and a half, but with heels on,
Speaker 1: her height reaches five seven and a half.
Speaker 2: All right, coming in with a solid three inchiel. Okay,
Speaker 2: we like that. He's got Yeah, terrible reach though he's
Speaker 2: six foot his wing he got a five to three wingspan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like his arms aren't that. Also, like
Speaker 1: the the lift thing also explains like his posture a
Speaker 1: lot of the time, you know how he's like kind
Speaker 1: of always leaning forward. Some people on social media have
Speaker 1: like suggested that that. People say it's going on there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's I always see two competing theories on Twitter.
Speaker 2: It's like either his cognitive decline throws his balance off
Speaker 2: and that's why he leans forward, or it's his lifts,
Speaker 2: and I can I see the case more literally for
Speaker 2: the lifts that are have his heels off the ground,
Speaker 2: which is already kind of slightly angled you to the front.
Speaker 2: Not to say that this man isn't also melting from
Speaker 2: the inside out in the right right.
Speaker 1: And we will get to that. But he does stand
Speaker 1: like he's wearing ski boots the whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he's doing he's like mid ski jump, right,
Speaker 2: like when he's mid air.
Speaker 1: But candidate giving themselves extra height actually has a historic precedent,
Speaker 1: a historical precedent. It's not that history. It's not so
Speaker 1: important that it should be called historic. But I misspoke.
Speaker 1: Ducaccas actually stood on a riser in nineteen eighty eight
Speaker 1: while debating Bush. And then there was a famous SNL
Speaker 1: sketch where John Lovett's playing Ducaccas like raises and lowers
Speaker 1: himself at the podium. Yeah. Well, there's like a loud
Speaker 1: hydraulic lift sound in the background that that feels like
Speaker 1: one of those moments that like I know that more
Speaker 1: than I know anything that actual Doucaucus did is the
Speaker 1: oh that's all hydrogly Yeah, yeah, it's like the and
Speaker 1: I can see Russia from my front porch is not
Speaker 1: what she yeah, not what she actually said, but yeah, so,
Speaker 1: I mean the reason people actually pay attention to this
Speaker 1: is that research has showed that voters have a preference
Speaker 1: for tall leaders, possibly due to a quote instinctive reasons
Speaker 1: going back to caveman days, which really just goes to
Speaker 1: show how stupid we all.
Speaker 2: Are doing this evolutionary psychology thing.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I guess so that certainly seems to be.
Speaker 2: The candidate would the bigger bust will also win because
Speaker 2: it will show that they are able to nourish the nation,
Speaker 2: Like okay, go back to cave man days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the taller candidate has only one fifty eight
Speaker 1: percent of the time between seventeen eighty nine and two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Although I feel like we should only
Speaker 1: be paying attention to like after people knew what the
Speaker 1: candidates looked like, right like they I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: there were like drawings and newspapers or whatever, but like
Speaker 1: right right, warrant.
Speaker 2: They're never like all right, y'all, go back to back.
Speaker 2: You know how we do this every presidential race? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he barefoot? Barefoot?
Speaker 1: If that was a thing like, please let me know,
Speaker 1: that would be wild if they just if they did
Speaker 1: have tail the car.
Speaker 2: Set shoes off. Mister Andrew Jackson. This is a serious
Speaker 2: presidential measurement.
Speaker 1: I mean speaking of Andrew Jackson Lincoln, who a lot
Speaker 1: of people have claimed was the greatest president ever before
Speaker 1: Trump came along. But he exaggerated his height like he
Speaker 1: was already tall, and then he wore a hat that
Speaker 1: added like sixteen inches.
Speaker 2: He said, check people, hit, I'm gonna put a fucking
Speaker 2: ten gallon hat on or whatever that show was called.
Speaker 1: Yeah, stove pipe.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, what's that? Sun is cowboy hat?
Speaker 1: And it's called that because you can use it to
Speaker 1: scoop ten gallons of water, like one at a time
Speaker 1: until it starts leaking. Is it doesn't actually contain ten gallons.
Speaker 2: Right, and you're able to move ten gallons?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey man, that's a that's a good ad.
Speaker 1: I but yeah, I don't know, like I.
Speaker 2: Would use a bucket myself.
Speaker 1: But do you wear a bucket on your head?
Speaker 2: Man? Hell?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like buckethead of reference. Nobody is gonna get.
Speaker 2: This is the Washed report.
Speaker 1: This is the Wash Report. But I also like have
Speaker 1: the same question about this debate that I had about
Speaker 1: like was like with Lincoln, I'm sure the height thing
Speaker 1: showed up because they used to wrestle each other to
Speaker 1: see who can president back then, Like, dude, are we
Speaker 1: going to have like a jump ball at the start
Speaker 1: of the debate, Like wow, I feel they would.
Speaker 2: Get washed even by five four Kamala. If Trump had
Speaker 2: to jump be amazing, he probably break his ankle. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's like, ah, God, get too much air this. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm the debate, the prep seems non existent again. You
Speaker 2: on Fox this morning they have people literally begging him
Speaker 2: to not be racist. Seems to be the latest tactic,
Speaker 2: which is I don't I don't know if that's good
Speaker 2: because you know, they got Lawrence Jones, who's this black
Speaker 2: guy who's been showing up more and more on Fox
Speaker 2: like in the last year. He sat down with them
Speaker 2: this morning and he was just sort of like, you know,
Speaker 2: don't like Kamala, Harris, don't like Kamala like bait you
Speaker 2: into being racist?
Speaker 1: You know Like what, Yeah, that's the only way I
Speaker 1: could see this guy being racist is if he.
Speaker 2: Baited into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just as it says, don't put voters
Speaker 2: in that position where they have to choose between their
Speaker 2: economic situation and feeling sympathetic or personal. He's a Trump
Speaker 2: is a peculiar in a peculiar situation right now, because
Speaker 2: when you look at the polling data amongst you know,
Speaker 2: Latino's black voters, you see these gains happening, and there's
Speaker 2: a case for all these people saying that they were
Speaker 2: better off under his economy. You want to keep those
Speaker 2: voters right there right Well, Kamala Harris is going to
Speaker 2: try to what she's going to try to do is
Speaker 2: get him into this race war right, to be vicious,
Speaker 2: to attack her as a woman. And I love again
Speaker 2: that they're like treating him like a wild animal who
Speaker 2: knows nothing. And look what they're going to do to
Speaker 2: the poor guy. They're gonna make him be himself up there,
Speaker 2: Oh how awful.
Speaker 1: Gonna let him say the things that he thinks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, it's a very good call out
Speaker 1: that a lot of this ship is just bullshit evolutionary
Speaker 1: biology or evolutionary psychology shit where it's.
Speaker 2: Which I love. Yeah, Oh helly dude, the way that
Speaker 2: shit blew my fucking mind. Yeah, And like I was
Speaker 2: Oh my, I was so insufferable, like just regurgitating that
Speaker 2: to like women on dates.
Speaker 1: Well, you think about it, like we.
Speaker 2: I'm not joking, I'm like, my, I'm dying inside even
Speaker 2: thinking about how intellectual I thought I fucking was at
Speaker 2: nineteen doing that shit. Oh yeah, oh oh my god,
Speaker 2: Like I want to ask. I think I need to
Speaker 2: stop the recording and go out a fucking cigarette, take
Speaker 2: a shower. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck anyway,
Speaker 2: Focus on Trump. Oh, so he's been doing like over
Speaker 2: the weekend he was posting wild violent shit on truth
Speaker 2: social like I'm gonna lock up all my fucking you know,
Speaker 2: the people who try and cheat in this election again,
Speaker 2: because I think the writings on the wall, at least
Speaker 2: in their camp, which is like, you know, this might
Speaker 2: look like an l So we need to figure out
Speaker 2: how we're gonna steal, like we gotta we can't fuck
Speaker 2: the steal up this time. And then at the end
Speaker 2: of last week he had a string of just awful,
Speaker 2: awful appearances, like to the point where you know, there's
Speaker 2: been a lot of write ups there like why is
Speaker 2: why isn't the media being like this guy is losing it?
Speaker 2: Like in real time before our eyes, Like stop pretending
Speaker 2: like what he's saying makes sense, Like he's it's all
Speaker 2: word solid buffet. On Thursday, he went to the Economic
Speaker 2: Club of New York, which is a group of like
Speaker 2: economic walks, you know, people who fucking their whole life
Speaker 2: is talking, yeah, talking about the details of economic policy.
Speaker 2: These are the kinds of people who you cannot just
Speaker 2: pull up to and go, well, you know, Kamala Harris,
Speaker 2: the border, blah blah blah when they ask you. So
Speaker 2: this is a question. He was asked directly at the
Speaker 2: Economic Club of New York. And probably again you can
Speaker 2: just tell by I started cringing when they were forming
Speaker 2: the question because I could already see him, like Trump
Speaker 2: ain't answering this, like in a way that makes sense.
Speaker 2: This is him at the Economic Forum or Economic Club.
Speaker 4: If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing
Speaker 4: legislation to make childcare affordable? And if so, what specific
Speaker 4: piece of legislation will you advance?
Speaker 2: Oh, my good, this is starting a feeling, Billie Madison.
Speaker 1: And also that was a pretty straightforward question, but like
Speaker 1: you're right that the feeling is.
Speaker 2: And what specific piece of legislation? Oh, no, you can't
Speaker 2: answer that. My man's about to pull a fucking revolver
Speaker 2: out like my boy did in the Billy Madison movie. Well,
Speaker 2: I would do that.
Speaker 5: And we're sitting down, you know, back from the top,
Speaker 5: sitting down. You know, I was somebody we had said
Speaker 5: in a Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka was so impactful
Speaker 5: on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I
Speaker 5: think when you talk about the kind of numbers that
Speaker 5: I'm talking about, uh huh that because look, childcare is
Speaker 5: childcare is uh huh. You know, there's something you have
Speaker 5: to have it in this country. You have to have it.
Speaker 5: But when you talk about those numbers compared to the
Speaker 5: kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations.
Speaker 2: There we go, and then he just nation to fucking tariffs,
Speaker 2: talking about triffs. Wow, they're really great, and you know
Speaker 2: you gotta have childcare, you gotta have it.
Speaker 1: And but if you get the numbers, and yeah, in.
Speaker 2: His mind he's like, yeah, these are you com they
Speaker 2: love something like if you compare, then if you crunch
Speaker 2: the numbers, all right, dude. Wow. So that was just
Speaker 2: so rambling a non answer. People like, yikes, dude, this
Speaker 2: is absolute nonsense. And then he continued this streak on Friday.
Speaker 2: He had he just threw like a press conference because
Speaker 2: he was to hear.
Speaker 1: A press conference just through it.
Speaker 2: That's how these things are, like the feel like well thought.
Speaker 2: It's just like it's like a kickback where you're just
Speaker 2: gonna hear this. You would be like, yo, I just
Speaker 2: learned this track on guitar. You want to hear. So
Speaker 2: he spoke because he had an appeals hear in Manhattan
Speaker 2: over the sexual abuse case from Egene Carroll. Because he's
Speaker 2: trying to throw He's like, they want a new trial
Speaker 2: because there was inadmissible evidence either. Whatever. It's like nonsense,
Speaker 2: and he comes out he starts in an attempt to
Speaker 2: like bolster his case. He brought up allegations from another
Speaker 2: woman named Jessica Leeds, who said Trump assaulted her on
Speaker 2: an airplane in the late seventies. And this is again
Speaker 2: how he's flanked by his lawyers. Alina Haba like through
Speaker 2: this entire clip, she looks like she's trying to get
Speaker 2: the fuck out. She's like, this guy is fucking everything
Speaker 2: up right now. But anyway, this is him just being
Speaker 2: because I think they're pointing to this woman as like
Speaker 2: some reason why his doesn't matter, because just the way
Speaker 2: it sounds, it sounds like an old guy who's just
Speaker 2: shooting off weird, sordid memories in front of a microphone.
Speaker 2: This is him is now.
Speaker 5: There were two witnesses. As a woman who's followed me
Speaker 5: for years, she said, in nineteen seventy nine, I was
Speaker 5: in an airplane with her commercial flight and we became
Speaker 5: very intimate. I just sat down.
Speaker 2: I think it's like, wait, what what?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does seem to be just like glitching out
Speaker 1: a little bit more than because it.
Speaker 2: Feels like he's just saying like he's there to act
Speaker 2: like he's innocent. But then he starts it's as if
Speaker 2: he's recounting a real event from his memory, right, and
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, yeah, and there was this one I
Speaker 2: remember this other woman and we became intimate. You're like, yo, what, bro,
Speaker 2: you're trying to act like you're not a sex krim right,
Speaker 2: what what do you mean by this? Then he goes on,
Speaker 2: he brings up the art of the deal a bunch
Speaker 2: like he goes on, this is him, just the art
Speaker 2: of the deal, just to be like, because I'm so
Speaker 2: famous back then.
Speaker 1: Right, and.
Speaker 2: I sat down.
Speaker 5: I believe I had some pretty big success then, and
Speaker 5: I was being talked about a lot. Maybe the Art
Speaker 5: of the Deal was out, you know, some time after that.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure, but I was well known and passengers
Speaker 5: are coming into the plane.
Speaker 2: So now he's just talking about like he's trying to say,
Speaker 2: like I was just out of just like you know,
Speaker 2: I was really famous. I think what he's trying to
Speaker 2: say is because he does this all the time, like
Speaker 2: and a lot of people do this. If I was
Speaker 2: so famous, why would I be assaulting people. It's kind
Speaker 2: of like what the gist is here? And then he
Speaker 2: goes on again. He's gonna bring up fucking the art
Speaker 2: of the deal again, Like wow, just here.
Speaker 5: He goes I'm famous.
Speaker 2: I'm going to plane.
Speaker 5: People are coming into the plane, and I'm looking at
Speaker 5: a woman on a grab her and I start kissing
Speaker 5: her and making out with her. What are the chances
Speaker 5: of that happening? What are the chances? And frankly, I
Speaker 5: know you're gonna say it's a terrible thing to say,
Speaker 5: but it couldn't have happened. It didn't happen, and she
Speaker 5: would not have been the chosen one. She would not
Speaker 5: have been the chosen one.
Speaker 1: Wow, the chosen one. He doubled down on that. He
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that's what I wanted to be assaulted,
Speaker 1: to be assaulted by me, She would not have been
Speaker 1: the chosen one. So is this the thing that you
Speaker 1: think through frequently and have like chosen ones that you're.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just it's the art of the deal
Speaker 2: I was in. I was very fa It's like, you're like, bro, this,
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, my grandmother had her bouts with
Speaker 2: dementia towards the end of her life, and when you
Speaker 2: start to realize it, it comes out in these weird
Speaker 2: ways where it's like I wasn't even talking about that, right,
Speaker 2: you know, like or like just confusion around what the
Speaker 2: conversation is about and all that to say, this is
Speaker 2: these the kinds of he's like off Mike. He had
Speaker 2: like little Q cards that he was holding, but he's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, like he gave up on him once,
Speaker 2: like they got out of order and he was like,
Speaker 2: freestyle baby, It's time for freestyle.
Speaker 1: Time for Trump to be Trump baby. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: That's kind of what his feedback has been to people
Speaker 1: being like, could you not be you? He's like, I
Speaker 1: can only be me and we'll see. All right, how
Speaker 1: are you feeling about like the debate? Uh? Just inherently
Speaker 1: I feel like shit about it. I feel like it's,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, scary because of how bad the last
Speaker 1: debate went for people who don't think that would be
Speaker 1: a good next.
Speaker 2: President happens and Kamala bombs the fucking debate, Like, man, yo,
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to happen. You could literally
Speaker 2: just not say anything and and look off do better
Speaker 2: than Trump in a debate. But it sounds like the
Speaker 2: plan going into it for Kamala Harris is to just
Speaker 2: look stable and like you're a leader. Right by that,
Speaker 2: it probably just means just ignore all the bullshit. So
Speaker 2: I think it's a pretty low bart clear.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 1: And Tom Brady made his debut as an NFL broadcaster
Speaker 1: over the weekend, UH in what people have called the
Speaker 1: most scrutinized announcing debut in a decade. I did not
Speaker 1: catch it. So the reason this was a big news
Speaker 1: story is Tom Brady signed a ten year three hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five million dollars deal with Box before ever
Speaker 1: having commentated a single game.
Speaker 2: Wait, and is totally site unseen sight on.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I've seen Tom Bradley.
Speaker 2: Sure, wait, but I mean, y'aw baby, Oh right, it's
Speaker 2: probably he'll like he'll stop in to just say something
Speaker 2: for like five minutes on a podcast probably and then leave,
Speaker 2: rather than like he called an entire game.
Speaker 1: He's that's what they're having him do. They're like, this
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be fucking awesome at this.
Speaker 2: I know. I mean, I know enough about Tom Brady
Speaker 2: to know that when he's just speaking, it is the
Speaker 2: most uninteresting shit I've ever heard of my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they they didn't just like sign him to a
Speaker 1: massive deal to speak, you know, without a script for
Speaker 1: ten years in a row. They like double the fuck down.
Speaker 1: Like there's this commercial in which he gets visited by
Speaker 1: like past versus versions of himself, and he's like in
Speaker 1: the lab, like watching football, getting ready to do the game,
Speaker 1: Like he's watching tape and he's like, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to be the greatest there ever was at like talking
Speaker 1: into a microphone for an ungodly amount of money. Every week,
Speaker 1: and so they did all that. They like ran this
Speaker 1: ad repeatedly during the morning games and then he started talking,
Speaker 1: you know, then he got on camera. Also another thing
Speaker 1: they did just because like they're so into like we
Speaker 1: got Tom Brady everybody is. They like showed him watching
Speaker 1: a new Tostitos ad in which he's like one of
Speaker 1: the people, and like it's just it's just him with
Speaker 1: a rigid grin on watching it, like not.
Speaker 2: Really his own commercial.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what kind of y'all.
Speaker 2: They're so stupid, man, what about Brady watching Brady.
Speaker 1: Ye huh huh, okay, Brady on Brady on Braid. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they just like multiplicitied this shit. We can't get
Speaker 1: enough of Brady.
Speaker 2: Even in the commercial. Dude, get Michigan, University of Michigan Brady,
Speaker 2: Get Tampa Bay Brady, New England Brady Brady. So many
Speaker 2: Brady's in the commercial. Then we'll do a thing. We'll
Speaker 2: do a side by side split screen where Brady can
Speaker 2: watch Brady in a tostitos ad with Brady.
Speaker 1: So after all that, people seem to think Brady was
Speaker 1: only okay at the job, sometimes just straight up bad.
Speaker 1: Some of the reviews like there's this Guardian review that
Speaker 1: is so wild.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm angry on Tom Brady's behalf. I was like,
Speaker 2: you're not talking to me like that the Guardian.
Speaker 1: Yes. So I'm just gonna read some segments from this
Speaker 1: Guardian review. Even when the words did emerge with more fluency,
Speaker 1: the thoughts they contained were invariably dull and cliche ridden.
Speaker 1: The stats sheet for Brady's first half alone contained one
Speaker 1: high IQ football, at least three instances of He's just
Speaker 1: so athletic, and a Dan Marino quote deployed as a
Speaker 1: broadcasting hail Mary when it became despairingly obvious that Brady
Speaker 1: was approaching the end of a sentence with no natural
Speaker 1: thought on which to terminate it. They also that review
Speaker 1: goes on to say, and this is where it's like, yo,
Speaker 1: is this person trying to like, there's this paragraph listening
Speaker 1: to these do we believe delivered hymns to organizational order?
Speaker 1: It was hard to escape the sense that Brady is
Speaker 1: a real company guy, the kind of shirt tucked in
Speaker 1: narc who would call coworkers out for not showing up
Speaker 1: to the special quote. Games Day employees were asked to
Speaker 1: attend on their day off fucking ether random Guardian TV
Speaker 1: critic just fucking from Brady over and over delivered, we believe.
Speaker 1: Aaron Tims from The Guardian.
Speaker 2: Do you want? You really want? The Fall of the Smoke?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: It's funny because like when I read this, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I gotta find like the just the one that sums
Speaker 2: it all up, and there isn't. I couldn't find one
Speaker 2: that like truly summed it all up because everything I
Speaker 2: saw was just like just generally bad, like uninteresting and
Speaker 2: like hey, Tom, like what's the key here? But going forward?
Speaker 2: Like they got to put some points up where He's like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: if they want to go forward, they got to stop
Speaker 2: going backwards. Got a lot of negative yards from you know, penalties.
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, okay, so I get that. You said
Speaker 2: you were like hey in order like cool, yeah, but
Speaker 2: holy this is the danger of telling people they are
Speaker 2: the greatest of all time.
Speaker 1: Where they've done a single thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I get it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like I think a true goat knows they are the
Speaker 2: goat at one thing.
Speaker 1: They usually they don't, but yeah, like Irina.
Speaker 2: Williams wouldn't be out here being like oh yeah, here's
Speaker 2: my fucking you know, spoken word poetry that I'm getting into.
Speaker 2: Everyone like now look at me, right now, let me
Speaker 2: get all this money. But like Tom Brady, you're the
Speaker 2: goat at one thing, throwball okay, and like this is whole,
Speaker 2: like his whole you can tell. His demeanor too, was
Speaker 2: a little bit sort of like yeah, I'm killing it.
Speaker 2: Like in his I'm sure everybody around was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, Tom, you're doing great. You're doing great.
Speaker 1: You're doing great, Tom, really good one. It's just like
Speaker 1: people laughing like silently, but like you know in the
Speaker 1: background to be like, yeah, thumbs up thing.
Speaker 2: The finance guy at Fox is sweating bullets. He's like, dude, okay, man,
Speaker 2: we boy in years, yeah, is even gonna be alive.
Speaker 1: There's a former player, Greg Olsen, that was like new
Speaker 1: to like he and the guy Tom Brady did this
Speaker 1: with were like a new duo last year and like
Speaker 1: got rave reviews because he was just really good at
Speaker 1: put it, you know, weeding all this stuff together, and
Speaker 1: he was just really good at his job. And they
Speaker 1: were like, fuck out of here, You're no Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: I always want justice for Greg Olsen. Was trending good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: people kept being like, yo, they did Greg Olsen dirty.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, people just think. I don't know, And it
Speaker 1: is interesting to me that, like it's not always like
Speaker 1: sometimes handsome movie stars translate really well into a director
Speaker 1: even though they're not like great actors. And I think
Speaker 1: that like that the way Ben Affleck and like you know,
Speaker 1: Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner and there's other better examples
Speaker 1: of this that I can't think of right now.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 1: And I think it's because they got to be movie
Speaker 1: stars without being able to act well, and so they
Speaker 1: like understand how everything works around them, whereas like really
Speaker 1: good directors like or whereas really good actors like Robert
Speaker 1: de Niro or John Trauturo, like they're the films they director,
Speaker 1: like at least not like big massive successes. And I right,
Speaker 1: but like I don't I don't know the exact science
Speaker 1: of like who's going to be a good commentator, because
Speaker 1: like there's another quarterback who's like decent, Tony Romo for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and he ended up being like a really
Speaker 1: good commentator, but like just to assume because he's best
Speaker 1: quarterback guy, that he's going to be possible to even
Speaker 1: listen to. Is so weird.
Speaker 2: It's wild that I was reading a tweet that aged
Speaker 2: terribly from this, like talk sport radio dude, like this
Speaker 2: is on Friday, this guy twooted this. Tom Brady's Fox
Speaker 2: debut will be insanely good. He'll be terrific at everything, breakdown, criticism,
Speaker 2: fun stories, and every week this season we'll talk about
Speaker 2: what Brady said during the game on Sunday. It's simple.
Speaker 2: He wouldn't do this if he didn't know he could
Speaker 2: kill it, right, uh huh uh huh. In fact, did
Speaker 2: not kill it at all.
Speaker 1: People who are massively famous for over a decade are
Speaker 1: always good at knowing their limits and yeah, having a
Speaker 1: good sense of how they're going to do it everything
Speaker 1: around there.
Speaker 2: This guy, I mean, this guy isn't even the goat
Speaker 2: at describing what's happening in his own mind during while
Speaker 2: watching football, right, because at the very least, right, you'd
Speaker 2: think with someone with Brady's career has at least the
Speaker 2: ability to talk some fucking high level stratospheric x's and
Speaker 2: o's stuff that would like blow the normal viewer's mind.
Speaker 2: And I feel like, can you not even do that?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, like seem like it like
Speaker 1: I don't know, you.
Speaker 2: Know, can you think about it? Like you hear like
Speaker 2: Kareem or like Magic Johnson or like basketball, like the
Speaker 2: basketball players they talk about the game and ways you're
Speaker 2: like whoa, and you're not even being paid to say this,
Speaker 2: Like you're just talking because you love the game so much,
Speaker 2: Like Brady's just not even capable of that. I think
Speaker 2: that's a huge red flag. But hey, you got the name.
Speaker 2: You're paying thirty seven and a half million dollars a
Speaker 2: year for it for the next ten.
Speaker 1: Good luck to you, good lad speed. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like something about being the goat like doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily because like Jordan, I feel like wouldn't necessarily translate
Speaker 1: well to like insightful commentary. His main Like the thing
Speaker 1: you always hear about Brady is like, man, he works
Speaker 1: really hard. He's intense, he's super competitive. He will monitor
Speaker 1: every single gram of every piece of food that he
Speaker 1: puts into his body with intensity. But that like does
Speaker 1: not necessarily lead to being somebody you want to hang
Speaker 1: out with and watch a football game, which is ultimately
Speaker 1: what this job is.
Speaker 2: The guy who's measuring his food down to the microgram
Speaker 2: doesn't know how to have a loose conversation with someone.
Speaker 1: So we'll see where we won't. We'll check back.
Speaker 2: We'll check back Tom.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And finally, on Friday, Aischanor Esgie, a gay an
Speaker 1: American citizen from Seattle, was shot and killed by the
Speaker 1: Israeli military at a peaceful protest in the West Bank,
Speaker 1: and the US government has responded with the policy equivalent
Speaker 1: of a shrug emoji. Crickets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, there's really like we're not hearing anything directly
Speaker 2: from the President or Harris nothing. The wildest thing, okay, right,
Speaker 2: because this is not the first time the like the
Speaker 2: IDF has shot and killed an American. I mean Sharina
Speaker 2: bu Ackley was a journalist who was shot and killed
Speaker 2: by the IDF in twenty twenty two. That the way,
Speaker 2: the like, if you google right american killed west Bank
Speaker 2: and you just look at the news things, it's like
Speaker 2: the passive voice and lack of like attribution to who
Speaker 2: may have done the killing is mind blog.
Speaker 1: Blog possible, don't know what happened here?
Speaker 2: Like on CNN it's aid family of American killed in
Speaker 2: west Bank blames Israel for her death.
Speaker 1: That's wild whoa they do.
Speaker 2: Okay, the CBS news American woman asen or Aggie killed
Speaker 2: at pro Palestinian protest in Israeli occupied West Bank. AP
Speaker 2: news did a good job. Israeli soldiers fatally shot an
Speaker 2: American woman at a West Bank protest, a witness says,
Speaker 2: And yeah, it just like just not it's not even journalism.
Speaker 2: And that's what's like so fucking upsetting about all this
Speaker 2: shit is it's you. Even even as you described the story,
Speaker 2: maybe your headline is misleading, but your story will ultimately
Speaker 2: say that she was shot by the IDF, But you
Speaker 2: don't want that to be the headline because you're trying
Speaker 2: to protect sort of the the reputation of the Israeli military,
Speaker 2: who at this point the reputation couldn't be further like underground.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's all again because we're this wasn't they
Speaker 2: said violent behavior was happening because someone threw a rock.
Speaker 1: Yeah that and blinken is like we just got to
Speaker 1: gather the facts here, investigate this.
Speaker 2: Ohoo, well we're calling on Israel to investigate themselves.
Speaker 1: Okay, people, the people who did the thing, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, that that'll that'll work, that'll work. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is just it continues as like there's just there
Speaker 2: are more incursions into the West Bank and yeah, this
Speaker 2: is a twenty six year old who just graduated. Yeah
Speaker 2: uh and you know, was there to protest what was
Speaker 2: happening in the West Bank and you end up being
Speaker 2: shot by a sniper. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No statement from Biden Harris or any administration official. So
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Let's yeah, come on, y'all, please just do the bare
Speaker 2: minimum here, like to stop treating people like they don't
Speaker 2: know what's happening and act like there's something you can do,
Speaker 2: like this is the like the worst look is just
Speaker 2: to be like all right, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: You see Project twenty twenty five. That's bad. That's probably
Speaker 2: what's gonna be. Yeah, well, we'll see. We'll see what
Speaker 2: other stories take the place after like an American another
Speaker 2: American citizen is killed. But hey, dude, go on, do
Speaker 2: you thing. Empire, keep on empiring.
Speaker 1: All right, those are some of the things that are
Speaker 1: trending on this Monday morning, September ninth. We are back
Speaker 1: tomorrow with a whole last 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 you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye
