Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Pat Trendatar. Ah,
Speaker 1: Pat Benatar is trending. I'm jack that is, Miles. Pet
Speaker 1: Benatar is not the thing that is most trending. We
Speaker 1: will get to that. But yeah, Pat Trendutar, So Ted
Speaker 1: Cruz did this like weird thing.
Speaker 2: Somebody's like, would anybody would?
Speaker 3: They?
Speaker 1: Would these demoncrats ever hold Joe Biden accountable? And I
Speaker 1: think we have a quote from him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's let's hear what he's about to give us
Speaker 4: a breakdown of all things satanic. If the Senate gets
Speaker 4: the impeachment and a trial is held, do you think
Speaker 4: you could ever get a super majority to remove him?
Speaker 3: I don't think Senate Democrats if you had video of
Speaker 3: Joe Biden murdering children dressed as the Devil under a
Speaker 3: full moon while singing Pat Benattar, they still wouldn't vote
Speaker 3: to convict Ah.
Speaker 1: He had come in there for a little bit of
Speaker 1: like satanic imagery. But I think Pat Benatar is the
Speaker 1: darkest uh form of rock music that he can conceive of, truly, truly,
Speaker 1: I mean I think like there's no other explanation for
Speaker 1: that quote, right, that's just.
Speaker 2: Like the hardest ship that he's ever heard.
Speaker 5: Or.
Speaker 4: Or you're one of these fucking loser politicians who has
Speaker 4: who is not nimble of thought and you just like
Speaker 4: think of like you just say your favorite artist.
Speaker 5: He was like Pat Benatar.
Speaker 1: Fuck singing a Whole New World from uh oh shit,
Speaker 1: that was my wedding song never oh yeah right, and
Speaker 1: it had to be the right version because love is
Speaker 1: a battle field.
Speaker 5: What like I'm going through her songs, I'm like.
Speaker 1: Love is a battlefield. I mean, that is the hardest
Speaker 1: ship since mc wren, you know, I.
Speaker 4: Mean we are yeah heartache, the heartache we stand.
Speaker 1: There is one that is called hell is for children.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if that is maybe what he was thinking.
Speaker 4: And even then you're what are you like doing a
Speaker 4: deep diver or you know Pat Benatar's catalog enough to
Speaker 4: be like there is that song?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Wait, no, which is it? Did you are you just
Speaker 5: googling Pat Benatar songs?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, That's what.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like, how how do we know it's impossible
Speaker 4: to know?
Speaker 2: Hit me with your best shot?
Speaker 1: The sheer satanic majesty of exactly what's your best shot?
Speaker 3: Dan?
Speaker 2: Dan?
Speaker 4: What about we belong in hell together being Satan's acolytes.
Speaker 5: I think that's where we Belong was supposed to be. Uh,
Speaker 5: but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: This is again this is this was all in uh
Speaker 4: talking about like the possible impeachment of Joe Byron and
Speaker 4: if they thought it could ever happen, if it got
Speaker 4: you know, to the Senate. And again they wouldn't do
Speaker 4: it if they saw him dance with the devil under
Speaker 4: the pale moonlight, spinning around a we Belong by Pat
Speaker 4: Benattar with a little Tory cap on his head.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, let's get to the Titanics up. So,
Speaker 1: as of this recording, a couple hours ago, the Coastguard
Speaker 1: announced that they had discovered a debris field and that
Speaker 1: it was the submersible with the five people aboard. Yeah
Speaker 1: and yeah, so they're all presumed lost.
Speaker 4: I think like most people, when you heard about the facts,
Speaker 4: which was which made the weird like thing about like
Speaker 4: only two more minutes, only five more hours of oxygen left. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's made the whole thing be very surreal, Like all
Speaker 4: the coverage this has been fucking all over the place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so weird, so ghoulish. So, as of this recording.
Speaker 1: There's still plans. A UK's Channel five had whipped together
Speaker 1: a quickie documentary Primetime Space Titanic sub Lost at Sea,
Speaker 1: which was scheduled to air tonight. Oh so basically just
Speaker 1: hours after the sub was scheduled to run out of oxygen.
Speaker 1: And we know when the sub was scheduled to run
Speaker 1: out of oxygen because on over on News Nation they
Speaker 1: actually had an oxygen remaining countdown clock during their coverage,
Speaker 1: like it was fucking New Year's Eve.
Speaker 4: And again this is also based on like the loose
Speaker 4: figure I believe thrown out by like Seagate, isn't that
Speaker 4: what they're called?
Speaker 2: Or o ocean gate.
Speaker 5: Wow, where the oh seagate makes hard drives? What the
Speaker 5: fuck am I talking about? Uh yeah, ocean gate?
Speaker 4: Like that figures then being like yeah, there's like four
Speaker 4: days or the oxygen on there, but how do you
Speaker 4: know that with like all the things that have been
Speaker 4: coming out the last few days where people who have
Speaker 4: like been on the sub themselves or even interactive with
Speaker 4: the're like, oh, I don't know about this.
Speaker 2: It was jank city. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And this, of course, the obsessive news coverage of the
Speaker 1: disappearance is a glaring contrast to the paltry attention that
Speaker 1: the media is given to the boat full of seven
Speaker 1: hundred migrants which sank while traveling from Libya to Italy
Speaker 1: last week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: I mean I think we were talking answer like why
Speaker 4: are we so obsessed with this? Yeah, And like I
Speaker 4: think part of it is it allows us to sort
Speaker 4: of engage with tragedy without fully engaging with how tragic
Speaker 4: our current world is.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, like I think on some level, some people
Speaker 4: are probably like, well, the billionaires live or die, because
Speaker 4: it feels like there's a little bit of separation between
Speaker 4: the idea of you and someone who has two hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars to go into like a fucking
Speaker 4: submarine to see the Titanic, and people who are like
Speaker 4: escaping the countries they're in to try and make have
Speaker 4: a better life, and their only recourse is to get
Speaker 4: on a boat that ends up capsizing, And like, you know,
Speaker 4: we're not seeing much of an outpouring of help in
Speaker 4: that direction, and I wonder, like it feels like it's
Speaker 4: like one of those things you're like, ah, man, there's
Speaker 4: like two like naval disasters. I think I'll take the
Speaker 4: one that feels a little less tragic rather than like
Speaker 4: confronting how fucked up everything is. And there's you know,
Speaker 4: like it's interesting the New Republic put a piece of
Speaker 4: I was like, wow, all this reporting about the Titan
Speaker 4: sub and not talking about this this boat full of
Speaker 4: migrants that capsized, and then like.
Speaker 5: Someone was like looking around. It's like they didn't, like, you.
Speaker 4: Guys didn't even talk about the boat, right, which, yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean like it's like again, I think it's just
Speaker 4: it's one of these things, like we're constantly bombarded with
Speaker 4: the tragedy of our actual lived world that I think
Speaker 4: a lot it was easier to just switch out because
Speaker 4: people aren't able to have empathy, especially for like brown refugees,
Speaker 4: that it just goes to oxygen countdown.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the mystery like not knowing whether they were
Speaker 1: alive or dead, and also not having to necessarily feel
Speaker 1: sorry for some of the people who died. And in
Speaker 1: terms of the guy who's fault it was was on
Speaker 1: board and then the billionaire. But yeah, I mean so CNN,
Speaker 1: like you know, our writer jam went through and like
Speaker 1: put together just like a list of all the things
Speaker 1: CNN had covered on it, and I mean, this isn't
Speaker 1: all of them, but it's just this like rundown of
Speaker 1: like billionaire explorer and prominent Pakistani father and son dual
Speaker 1: on board the missing sub Missing Titanic sub search continues.
Speaker 1: Officials fear oxygen running out. What's it like inside the
Speaker 1: Titanic touring submersible that went missing? Oxygen is running low
Speaker 1: on the Titanic bound submersible. A searchers race to say
Speaker 1: by missing and see. Search for Titanic submersible intensifies across
Speaker 1: vast area where banging sounds were detected, and then their
Speaker 1: latest story. News outlets go all in on missing Titanic submersible,
Speaker 1: But have they gone overboard and coverage?
Speaker 4: So they got Yeah, it feels like one of those
Speaker 4: things where people outside like of CNN and just like
Speaker 4: outside of the mainstream media sphere, like what about the
Speaker 4: other thing?
Speaker 5: And they're like, oh yeah, right right yeah.
Speaker 1: Presumably that last article was written by the hot dog
Speaker 1: man from I Think you should leaves Like it's like
Speaker 1: and we're all wondering who is to blame? Ye also
Speaker 1: just love a nautical pun based headline. The overboard in coverage.
Speaker 1: There's also the Wall Street Journal, like Editorial Board pendon
Speaker 1: article about how pro Publica's investigation into the lavish fishing
Speaker 1: trips of Aledo and his like billionaire benefactor were just
Speaker 1: a phishing expedition and like they didn't neither article had
Speaker 1: any content like wrestling with the content. It really just
Speaker 1: seemed like they were like, well, we greenlight this on
Speaker 1: the basis of it being a nautical pun.
Speaker 4: Well, but it was also it was a fishing trip
Speaker 4: in question, so I guess you can get away with
Speaker 4: that one.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah no, but that's that's what the double entendre.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a blast man, like, yeah, man, we
Speaker 1: can we can take both boxes.
Speaker 4: And it just reveals so many things like when this
Speaker 4: story happened, I remember like there are two camps of
Speaker 4: people on like the internet. One were like ha ha
Speaker 4: rich people in your tin can that look so janky
Speaker 4: from the outset, like okay, go ahead, and other people
Speaker 4: were like where's your empathy? And then then then the
Speaker 4: like then after a while, the where's your empathy? People
Speaker 4: were also being asked like, well, where's your empathy for
Speaker 4: this group of people who are also on a boat
Speaker 4: and hundreds more lives, right, we're talking about and then
Speaker 4: conservative media ended up finding a way to make this
Speaker 4: a culture war story too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Fox News did a did a headline ocean Gate ceo
Speaker 1: explains why he didn't want to hire fifty year old
Speaker 1: white guys to pilot the sub Yeah.
Speaker 4: Super roducer Brian makes a good point, is like that
Speaker 4: line about not wanting to hire fifth year old white
Speaker 4: guys was him pushing back against experts who were probably
Speaker 4: constantly telling him this isn't how you should do it.
Speaker 5: That's not going to work.
Speaker 2: Uh oh right, thirty year old whitey experts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you mean people who are at like foremost
Speaker 4: in their field. I guess not all of them are
Speaker 4: like that. I'm sure he's referencing some people that he
Speaker 4: had a tiff with, but they said thirty eight sub
Speaker 4: experts were warning that this shit was not s Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: He was saying, like, instead, I want to go the
Speaker 1: route that like pizza shops do in the summertime and
Speaker 1: hire kids who are out of school for the summer
Speaker 1: who are just looking for some extra cash.
Speaker 5: Oh cool.
Speaker 1: There also does just feel like a tendency for the
Speaker 1: extremely wealthy to be so ensconced from consequences of their
Speaker 1: behavior that they like start doing shit like this, Dan,
Speaker 1: I think there's.
Speaker 4: Like there was. I yes, I was talking about how
Speaker 4: there was Like people were like asking psychologists like, well,
Speaker 4: what would compel someone to do.
Speaker 5: Something like this?
Speaker 4: And a lot of them are like, you know, people
Speaker 4: that are that wealthy can tend to be like disconnected
Speaker 4: from what real living is like and sometimes don't feel
Speaker 4: it in the same way, and they need to be
Speaker 4: in these situations that feel like existentially kind of iffy
Speaker 4: to kind of bring about this like feeling of like
Speaker 4: a lived experience or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's all very like.
Speaker 1: Once you get the all the money that you've been
Speaker 1: chasing and that you think is going to deliver like
Speaker 1: some sort of like you know, transcendental meaning into your life,
Speaker 1: and like instead it's just emptiness. Then you're like, well,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I just start doing the wildest ship popping.
Speaker 2: I might die.
Speaker 5: Fucking I might die. Oh I didn't, I didn't.
Speaker 2: Fuck.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that feels good. Now let me go fire seven
Speaker 5: thousand people.
Speaker 1: Anyways, if you have a billionaire in your life, talk
Speaker 1: to them about make sure they're doing.
Speaker 5: Off and getting away their money.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk millennial humor. No no, and we're back.
Speaker 1: And I have actually seen this pop up on social
Speaker 1: media as not plucked in as I am on TikTok uh,
Speaker 1: people making fun of millennial humor and like here's how
Speaker 1: millennials like talk to each other and stuff, and then
Speaker 1: they all talk like characters from Like it's like a
Speaker 1: combination of like Dawson's Creek and like Juno seems to
Speaker 1: be how they think, like millennials speak to one another.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's like interesting again.
Speaker 4: I love gen Z because y'all keep us so real
Speaker 4: and you have us shook all the time when you've
Speaker 4: made a new observation when it's like what the fuck.
Speaker 5: Is this chugu shit, we're like choogy.
Speaker 4: And like, you know, even what was the last thing
Speaker 4: we were talking about, like the skinny jeans debate, like
Speaker 4: if they're dead and people asking gen Z be like
Speaker 4: are my pants backing up?
Speaker 2: Is this okay? Please please?
Speaker 4: But now it's like it's truly now they're saying like
Speaker 4: the millennial humor is cringe af, which mostly they're saying
Speaker 4: is like musical parody videos, Like they're like, look at
Speaker 4: this cringe ass millennial humor, which is like song parody
Speaker 4: schedu like a I know, but hey, these were this
Speaker 4: was the bread and butter of you know, the early
Speaker 4: tens uh digital comedy. It was all about the fucking
Speaker 4: musical parody. Uh. And then also talking about like just
Speaker 4: self deprecating jokes about like like they're there pointing in
Speaker 4: one thing where someone's like this garbage bag is just
Speaker 4: like me get it because I'm literally trash and it's.
Speaker 1: Like Jesus, so just self deprecation without humor, just yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: really trash dude.
Speaker 5: And I think I get it.
Speaker 4: Like they're talking like cause again they are referencing these
Speaker 4: like like I remember on YouTube when you're like epic
Speaker 4: rap battles, you know, like in these other channels that
Speaker 4: were just doing musical parodies like that was like the
Speaker 4: hottest shit on the on the internets for a long time.
Speaker 4: And I think they're just looking back at this stuff
Speaker 4: and like, oh, y'all still on this ship.
Speaker 5: Okay, cool?
Speaker 2: Cool?
Speaker 1: So weird al Not doesn't have a future in this world.
Speaker 1: Like what are we saying here?
Speaker 5: He's a grandpa fucking boomer dude, Okay.
Speaker 2: MTG versus Bobert.
Speaker 1: We talked tomorrow about the big showdown between Elon Musk
Speaker 1: and Mark Zuckerberg. But there's another showdown that seems to
Speaker 1: be even closer to blows than that one. Yeah, Marjorie
Speaker 1: Taylor Green verse Lauren bober Apparently.
Speaker 4: They had a you know, a little tiff, and someone
Speaker 4: clocked it on c SPAN that like on the house floor,
Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor pulls up to Lauren Bobert and You're like,
Speaker 4: what the fuck are they talking about? And again we're like,
Speaker 4: people were like, we don't know what happened. Then we
Speaker 4: find out that basically Marjorie Taylor Green called her a
Speaker 4: little bitch because they were fighting over who gets to
Speaker 4: basically impeach Joe Biden. First they're like, I put out
Speaker 4: a bill and then recently Lauren Bobert's like, I'm putting
Speaker 4: out a bill that it's gonna impeach Joe Byron and
Speaker 4: all the Republicans are like fucking not now, please, Like
Speaker 4: we gotta do we got to try and do something
Speaker 4: else besides this, And I guess now she's doubled down,
Speaker 4: like when she was asked, like well, when Margie Taylor
Speaker 4: Green was asked like, do you guys you think you'll reconcile,
Speaker 4: you know, after like this little showdown.
Speaker 5: She said, absolutely not. She has genuinely been a nasty
Speaker 5: little bitch to me.
Speaker 2: What I didn't expect that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she came back, but she said I was sitting down,
Speaker 4: and so I stood up and said, I'm happy to
Speaker 4: clarify my public statements to your face. I told her
Speaker 4: exactly what I think about her. So I said, you
Speaker 4: need to shut up because the only person that's recognized
Speaker 4: to speak right now is Luna.
Speaker 5: This is like when someone else was speaking.
Speaker 4: It's just all very uh you know, yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 4: again like this is what happens when people racist meme
Speaker 4: their way onto the fucking seat of government. People have
Speaker 4: no idea how anything works, and they're only there because
Speaker 4: of like their grievance politics, and so it's just gonna
Speaker 4: play that out in real time and sadly just fucking
Speaker 4: people suffer because the business of Congress right now is
Speaker 4: gonna do things like pass like equal protections for people
Speaker 4: in the United States. It's like debating fucking gas stoves
Speaker 4: or going after the dumbest impeachments.
Speaker 2: So yeah, what are the impeachments over there? The hunter things?
Speaker 5: The Hunter, Yeah, like also like Biden's corrupt actions.
Speaker 4: You know, there's a few different ways they're trying to
Speaker 4: go about I think one might be with barisma, which
Speaker 4: we've heard this over and over again, and they're like,
Speaker 4: there's just no there there. And I think a lot
Speaker 4: of people, especially with people like Lauren Bobert and Marjorie
Speaker 4: Taylor Green, like there can't. They campaigned off of like
Speaker 4: and we need to impeach Joe Biden, like for what, Like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, because they impeach Trump, you know why,
Speaker 4: because like these things.
Speaker 5: Oh well I just figured that's like something you just
Speaker 5: do to someone.
Speaker 2: You impeach them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And again that reference is why Ted Cruz was like,
Speaker 4: I don't see an impeachment going anywhere because he could
Speaker 4: dance with the devil in the pale moonlight with a.
Speaker 5: Y and murder a baby.
Speaker 1: Well, those are are some of the things that are
Speaker 1: trending on this Thursday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with
Speaker 1: a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be
Speaker 1: kind to each other, be kind to yourself, be at
Speaker 1: the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we
Speaker 1: will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye.
