Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trendle
Speaker 1: Roy The Big All right guys, So today on the Rewatchable,
Speaker 1: as we were talking about the winners and the losers
Speaker 1: of the Succession finale, kendle Roy Big big l.
Speaker 2: Big winner, he somehow turns out a big big winners. Yeah,
Speaker 2: actually losing his winning as my.
Speaker 1: I mean, if if you think about it, like if
Speaker 1: they hadn't stuck that last bit on it with him
Speaker 1: looking out of the river, I would have been like, well,
Speaker 1: that's like probably better for him in the long run.
Speaker 3: But they're like, Noah, this dude is just gonna be
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 2: Records town.
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of Motown, we've got another golden age of
Speaker 1: music coming to us right now, courtesy of one for Giato.
Speaker 1: Blow oh Jack, you don't know and you don't know
Speaker 1: and you don't know, you're gone or hand me downs?
Speaker 1: Uh this uh this fellow.
Speaker 3: He released a song Boycott Target.
Speaker 2: That is the sickest fucking name for a song.
Speaker 3: So tight because it works on so many levels.
Speaker 1: Sorry, no, it just works on a single level.
Speaker 3: Call to action.
Speaker 1: Put the call to action in your song title and
Speaker 1: that's how you know it is good art. So this
Speaker 1: is this is like a maga rapper.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He shot a music video at the Capitol on six
Speaker 1: and forget using that sort of scramble uh cinema verite
Speaker 1: on the fly, stealing shots echos. He also to a
Speaker 1: music video for Everything for boycott Target in a Target
Speaker 1: and it supporters, his supporters. Trump's supporters have gotten the
Speaker 1: song to the top of the iTunes charts, knocking Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift out of the number one spot, and he's claiming
Speaker 1: that Apple is shadow.
Speaker 3: Banning the song.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: The song that as if you you might remember from
Speaker 1: ago is the the number one song on the charts
Speaker 1: of iTunes.
Speaker 2: I say, all these people do are talking these buzzwords
Speaker 2: like because it's meaningless, like like we talked about the
Speaker 2: default on the debt ceiling and tomorrow's ups Like they
Speaker 2: just hear like a word and like, yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: bandy it about.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who's defaulting. It's default of Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is who's default it is. But anyways, the reason it's
Speaker 1: so popular is because it has an undeniable melody, and
Speaker 1: I don't know, actually it's because people like Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 1: Green is uh promoting it like everywhere.
Speaker 2: It's I like, how even in like his like tweet
Speaker 2: or whatever. It's like it's Shadow Band all over the
Speaker 2: world right now. Literally what he said, like what what
Speaker 2: the fuck does that mean? But yeah, I mean the
Speaker 2: video itself is really something else.
Speaker 1: First of all, I have to imagine something's happening behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, like where a small number of people have
Speaker 1: found a way to like game the system and also
Speaker 1: just have the will, like they are in such desperate
Speaker 1: need of a culture, a cultural win that I don't
Speaker 1: doubt that they are, like they have something that is
Speaker 1: triggering it, making it seem like this song is being
Speaker 1: listened to more than it is because it's bad. The video, yeah,
Speaker 1: as you were referencing, pretty great.
Speaker 2: I mean he's going through Target and he's grabbing shit
Speaker 2: like bud light, you know, from the shelves and like
Speaker 2: taking off with it or like tam packs.
Speaker 3: But what he's mad at tampacs.
Speaker 2: I don't know, or it's probably for it's probably for liberals,
Speaker 2: because soy men need here's your tampon lib And in
Speaker 2: the screen cap, he does look like he's viewing a
Speaker 2: like he's finding out about tampax.
Speaker 3: For the first time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks like a discerning consumer. To be honest,
Speaker 2: he's like, now, isn't a super kind of day? I
Speaker 2: don't know the.
Speaker 1: Video he is doing the exact opposite of what he's
Speaker 1: telling people to be doing, because he's just not buying
Speaker 1: so much bud light and pampons. He also is mad
Speaker 1: at a toy featuring the only female Paw Patrol character
Speaker 1: Sky I believe her name is Oh, which I don't
Speaker 1: think that was a controversy, Like are they really these
Speaker 1: are grown men who are really angry over the idea
Speaker 1: of a girl dog existing in the world of adventure Bay.
Speaker 2: I mean they they think tampons are an affront to
Speaker 2: their fucking movement. Then I can see why they But
Speaker 2: again I'm like, what why is that even? Like a like,
Speaker 2: what is the occupation of that dog? Is it the cop?
Speaker 3: No, she's a pilot? Sky?
Speaker 2: What the fuck?
Speaker 3: Level than this song?
Speaker 2: Like his one like friend of Color who's willing to
Speaker 2: debase himself and be in this video is looking at
Speaker 2: the toy, so he's throwing his hands up, like the
Speaker 2: fuck is this toyll?
Speaker 1: Those aren't those aren't real, those aren't exist, Those aren't exist.
Speaker 1: The the fact that like a a show that is
Speaker 1: like all boys and a girl is like too much
Speaker 1: girl for them.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe that's what it is. He's like. You also
Speaker 2: get rid of the April O'Neil character from Ninja Turtles. Okay,
Speaker 2: just out of here. We're just all boys, just fucking turtles, bro,
Speaker 2: that's it and a rat. Fine, But I think to
Speaker 2: your point, right, like, the reason this shit takes off
Speaker 2: is because all of their like homebrew conservative media is
Speaker 2: like so bad. It always takes someone who started as
Speaker 2: a liberal and then just turned or like wasn't always
Speaker 2: in this world and then turned to it to like
Speaker 2: give it the sort of like polish that looks like
Speaker 2: professional content or something. Because this guy wasn't always maga rapping.
Speaker 2: He was just a plain old shitty rapper. Yeah, couldn't
Speaker 2: get anybody fucking to listen to him.
Speaker 1: I mean, who has many other maga maga rap songs,
Speaker 1: such as one that samples you can Call Me Out
Speaker 1: by Paul Simon called you can call Me Kyle m
Speaker 1: That about Kyle Rittenhouse. Yeah, but this is the biggest hit.
Speaker 1: His real name is not for Geato Blow, It is
Speaker 1: Kurt Jance. Well, so you got Kurt Chance on the line.
Speaker 1: He was just a failed white rapper whose songs about money, cars, guns,
Speaker 1: and women never got any attention, so he pivoted to
Speaker 1: uh rapping about Trump and developed a following of garbage people.
Speaker 1: Kurt Chance should be a word for gene shorts. I think,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Kurt as in short, and then Jan says
Speaker 1: in geen.
Speaker 2: Pants right or like? Or like? Is it a skirt
Speaker 2: with built in jean pants underneath?
Speaker 3: Now we're talking.
Speaker 2: Look man, hey for GIATO get at us? Man who
Speaker 2: got ideas? One of them being end your career? Now?
Speaker 1: He he has a tattoo of Trump on his leg
Speaker 1: with the words self made, which obviously Trump is not
Speaker 1: self made.
Speaker 3: He like inherited millions and millions of.
Speaker 1: Dollars like as a child. Chance's family are millionaires. His
Speaker 1: grandfather started Auto Trader magazine.
Speaker 2: Fucking NEPO failed rapper. Come on, man.
Speaker 3: Come on.
Speaker 1: He claims he's legitimate because he was homeless for over
Speaker 1: a year because he was like briefly disinherited or something
Speaker 1: the right.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine He's like, yeah, my grandfather said I
Speaker 2: was acting too black, so I kicked me out of
Speaker 2: the family. And then then I was homeless for a year.
Speaker 2: Now I'm a legit rapper because I was home I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: what is hip hopics being homeless?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, I guess so?
Speaker 2: Or is that just like his way of saying like, look,
Speaker 2: I know I've had everything handed to me on a
Speaker 2: silver platter or spoon, but I barely spent my parents'
Speaker 2: money for like one year.
Speaker 1: There was a period where I was not a homeowner.
Speaker 1: I was just ranting, it's really hard.
Speaker 2: So I know what it's like. It is a lot
Speaker 2: of NWA. I've started connecting with the.
Speaker 1: Streets all right. Al Pacino is expecting a new baby.
Speaker 1: We recently learned that Robert de Niro had a seventh
Speaker 1: child at the age of seventy nine. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what they're putting in the drinking water on
Speaker 1: the set of Heat. But now al Pacino is gonna
Speaker 1: have a baby. At the age of eighty three with
Speaker 1: his girlfriend nor Afala. He already had three children, the
Speaker 1: youngest being his twenty two year old twins. And I
Speaker 1: don't know, yes, so when the whole thing happened between
Speaker 1: like Pacino versus De Niro, Young Pacino versus young de Niro,
Speaker 1: like the showdown. There was something in me that was like,
Speaker 1: they're paying attention to this, like they're because there was
Speaker 1: there were always those rumors about like how on the
Speaker 1: set of Heat, like they couldn't even like be on
Speaker 1: set together, which is why like the whole movie, like
Speaker 1: you know, when it first came out, the big promise
Speaker 1: was like finally Pacino and de Niro in a movie,
Speaker 1: in a scene together, and then there's never a shot
Speaker 1: where they're like clearly there's a scene that they share
Speaker 1: where they're like across from each other, but it's shot
Speaker 1: with like over the shoulder shots. You never see them
Speaker 1: like on framed up together, and I don't know, they
Speaker 1: like kind of occupy this very similar position. And so
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if this isn't baby is not at least
Speaker 1: partially motivated by the Pacino de Niro hot so where
Speaker 1: they were like fifty to fifty right down the middle.
Speaker 1: But is that enough time for conception to occur from
Speaker 1: al Pacino? Yeah, Like does it does it line up
Speaker 1: with that?
Speaker 3: Or?
Speaker 2: I think overarchingly, I think to your point is probably
Speaker 2: like he probably heard DeNiro was about to have another
Speaker 2: kid a few months ago, and he's like, fuck, yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe here. I've been told by my urologists that it
Speaker 2: is not a good idea at all. Eighty three year
Speaker 2: old sperms not quite what they used to be. Uh,
Speaker 2: but hey, I guess yeah, go off, go off, al
Speaker 2: do it too.
Speaker 3: Truly, that just.
Speaker 2: Makes it so funny to me, like if they part
Speaker 2: of him is so he's just so pressed by the
Speaker 2: idea of DeNiro any kid, like DeNiro had a kid.
Speaker 1: And then there were all those memes about I'm not
Speaker 1: assuming that our Chino is a very online person, but
Speaker 1: you know, the it's in the cultural shared consciousness. People
Speaker 1: were like, oh, de Niro still out here, fucking and
Speaker 1: then that led to a poll about who which of
Speaker 1: them was more attractive in their prime, and then that
Speaker 1: led to al Pacino being like.
Speaker 3: I'm still out here, babe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't worry. I just it's fine. Bro. You
Speaker 2: eighty three, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, eighty three.
Speaker 2: You are eighty three, your partner was you were fifty
Speaker 2: four when your partner was born. Fam, it's a bit
Speaker 2: of an age gap. But again, apparently she's she's not,
Speaker 2: she's not. She likes the older men.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's been romantically linked to Clint Eastwood, Mick.
Speaker 2: Jaggar that Clint Eastwood, I'm sorry, that feels like a
Speaker 2: bridge too far. I get you fucking with like old
Speaker 2: al Pacino Mick Jagger got the swagger, but not get
Speaker 2: off my lawn. Clint Eastwood. Hell no, but hey, look
Speaker 2: do you I hope you're getting whatever you're looking for.
Speaker 1: Whenever your type is that strong, you're gonna you're going
Speaker 1: to make some exceptions. My type is extremely famous sex
Speaker 1: symbol from the year nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 3: be right back, and we're back. We're back.
Speaker 1: And this is just something a question that I've seen
Speaker 1: trending on Twitter. Zephyr on Call tweeted, how is it
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three? And nobody's come up with a satisfying
Speaker 1: explanation as to why cell phones never show up in
Speaker 1: their dreams if we're using them for twelve hours a day,
Speaker 1: And then Jason Pargin just retweeted him, was like, so
Speaker 1: have you ever had a phone in your dream?
Speaker 3: I haven't. I also not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my I'm sorry, I got really distracted Jack, I
Speaker 2: was looking at Nora. I'll follow his Instagram. Uh oh,
Speaker 2: the last picture she posted with al Pacino is her
Speaker 2: al Pacino, who looks this motherfucker look like he's mid
Speaker 2: sentence saying where am I? And they're at an art gallery,
Speaker 2: which I think. I feel like she's grifting this man.
Speaker 2: She says, my friend Bennett Miller has an exhibition of
Speaker 2: new prints produced using a doll E image generator.
Speaker 3: Yes, so she tracked.
Speaker 2: She dragged al Pacino's ass to lend some cred to
Speaker 2: this man's AI art exhibit.
Speaker 1: Oh hell no, yeah, al Pacino lost half of his
Speaker 1: life savings on the bitcoin.
Speaker 2: Oh look at him, he looks. This is this is
Speaker 2: like some weekend at Bernie.
Speaker 3: Shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's three, but for eighty three is
Speaker 1: a big is doing a lot.
Speaker 2: You would know what doll E was, Na, what the
Speaker 2: fuck they telling him when they pulled up to the
Speaker 2: Gogozian fucking gallery that came was just.
Speaker 3: What you're telling me? You made that image?
Speaker 4: Wow, Wow, these things are strong creative. But Gino, I
Speaker 4: mean Picasso watch out. Okay, I'm sorry, but back to
Speaker 4: the fucking phones thing. I've never had a.
Speaker 2: Phone, no or in real life. You know that. I'm
Speaker 2: like Bill Murray. You know, you call my my one
Speaker 2: voicemail line and I and I hit you back. But
Speaker 2: like in my dreams, the most technologically advanced it's ever
Speaker 2: been has been like me flying a plane, but I
Speaker 2: was trying to keep it from crashing.
Speaker 3: Oh, I have a lot of car dreams. Like some
Speaker 3: of the earliest dreams are card.
Speaker 2: Dreams of my earliest work.
Speaker 1: Some of my earliest work were my uh the recurring
Speaker 1: nightmare is about being in the backseat of the car
Speaker 1: and my mom gets out to like run an errand
Speaker 1: and the car takes off with me in it.
Speaker 2: Like phantom driver style or.
Speaker 3: Like drivers style, or you're like.
Speaker 2: Like in the back getting thrown around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was.
Speaker 1: Oh it is weird, Like I have technology in my
Speaker 1: dreams but not phones. Super producer Brian was pointing out
Speaker 1: that like we can't really read in our dreams, Like
Speaker 1: our dreaming brain isn't good at producing text, like readable text.
Speaker 1: And I have experienced that where I'm like trying to
Speaker 1: read something and realize like the letters aren't anything, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what the fuck is.
Speaker 2: I can't read?
Speaker 1: But but anyways, that's something I'd be interested in hearing
Speaker 1: from listeners about have you have you dreamt phones? Because
Speaker 1: like the one In response to Jason's query, people were like,
Speaker 1: I have had stress dreams where I'm trying to call
Speaker 1: nine to one one because of something that's happening and
Speaker 1: the phone doesn't work. Right, I'm sure I've had that,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it was just with like the phone
Speaker 1: of my childhood.
Speaker 2: It says a lot about you. I don't call nine
Speaker 2: to one one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, that's.
Speaker 2: My problems. But yeah it's a nightmare. Who showed up
Speaker 2: a murder squad? But yeah, I mean tech stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I was telling you that right now my dreams.
Speaker 2: The other big thing is smoking weed. That kind of
Speaker 2: fucks up here. I've noticed that. Like when I'm not
Speaker 2: smoking weed, then I'm like, what the fuck are these dreams?
Speaker 2: But recently I've been having dreams, but they're all to
Speaker 2: do with my baby becoming too tall and jumping out
Speaker 2: the bassinet and I gotta like keep them from like
Speaker 2: running out the house.
Speaker 3: Those are no dream smiles, I know, I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait where do he go?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Superducer Brian was saying that phones are essentially part of
Speaker 1: our minds, so like it's like such an extension of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like I don't have car.
Speaker 1: Dreams now that I can drive my car, right, because
Speaker 1: once you're driving a car, your car just becomes an
Speaker 1: extension of your body.
Speaker 2: Oh so that's you said your earlier work was riving.
Speaker 3: This was pre when I was in the back seat.
Speaker 1: Like, my only experience of a car was like being
Speaker 1: in the back seat, strapped in while my mom was
Speaker 1: running into I think that was a lot more commons.
Speaker 1: Just be like, you wait out here for forty five minutes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my grandmother did that too, And I took
Speaker 2: the e break off and the car started rolling down
Speaker 2: the hill. Yeah, but it almost fucking killed myself. It
Speaker 2: was pretty pretty bad.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so he was pointing, I would be like
Speaker 1: dreaming about your own brain, or like your eyes or you.
Speaker 3: Know something like that.
Speaker 1: My face eggs, your face eggs.
Speaker 3: That is my big takeaway from the succession.
Speaker 2: Finally, the best part of that, honestly was face eggs everything.
Speaker 3: That's just a thing. They know.
Speaker 1: They're like, I know you don't like eyes, a little
Speaker 1: grotesque little face. Face eggs like to stick my thumbs
Speaker 1: and that fella's face eggs. You know, Yeah, I'd see
Speaker 1: Twitter might be worth one third what Elon Musk.
Speaker 3: Paid for it last fall. Uh.
Speaker 1: And that's that's not just like ship posting that his
Speaker 1: fidelity has marked it down, marked down their investment to
Speaker 1: that level.
Speaker 2: I mean, who would have thought. I mean again, we've
Speaker 2: been watching it kark a slow motion car crash every
Speaker 2: fucking day or something, and especially after I'm reminded of
Speaker 2: a scene from a Princess Bride.
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, the fifteen seconds of silence and short
Speaker 1: that came.
Speaker 2: It was only thirteen seconds. Find a new angle. The
Speaker 2: pause would have fit in an Instagram story.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And finally there there's a new report from Vanity Fair
Speaker 1: about the Lost Writer's Room and just what a fucking
Speaker 1: disaster it was.
Speaker 2: Yeo, like racist and sexistist, fucked up. Carlton Q's Damon
Speaker 2: Lindeloff all got like they're getting I mean, they look
Speaker 2: like shit after this this story. But like Harold Parrino,
Speaker 2: the black man who plays Michael, he talks about like
Speaker 2: in the thing, it's like, you know, he was featured,
Speaker 2: you know, it kind of started. His appearances were lessening
Speaker 2: as the seasons went along, And it turns out there
Speaker 2: was absolutely like there was some shit going on because
Speaker 2: he was like, oh yeah, me and Daniel day Kim,
Speaker 2: we were reduced to like the black guy and the
Speaker 2: Asian guy, and then you had the other the main characters,
Speaker 2: which were Jack, Kate and Sawyer. And he goes on
Speaker 2: to talk about how like Malcolm David Kelly, who played
Speaker 2: Walt his son, had like a huge growth spurt between seasons,
Speaker 2: and that completely fucked with like the showrunners who didn't
Speaker 2: know how to like come up with I don't know,
Speaker 2: like an explanation because you're already on this wacky motherfucking
Speaker 2: island that they just decided, oh you know what, maybe
Speaker 2: it was just have him, you know, disappeared by the others,
Speaker 2: so we don't have a fucking.
Speaker 1: Invented the beach from old like yeah, twenty years before
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean that could have been Ip.
Speaker 3: That could have been lost Ip.
Speaker 2: Locke was out here walking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. I think, come up
Speaker 3: with a reason that this kid's getting the.
Speaker 2: Boy got older. Yeah, I think we're all right. In
Speaker 2: the beginning, you had a thing and there are polar
Speaker 2: bears and shit running around, although we do know that
Speaker 2: was because the darm initiative. All that to say is
Speaker 2: Harold Paranno like pulled up to the writers show runners
Speaker 2: and was basically like, yo, what's going on? Like my
Speaker 2: character barely gives a fuck about his own son. And
Speaker 2: he told him, quote, I don't think I can do that.
Speaker 2: This is just furthering the narrative that nobody cares about
Speaker 2: black boys, even black fathers. Yeah, and you know when this.
Speaker 1: Is the reason why he said, I don't have to
Speaker 1: be the first I don't have to have the most episodes,
Speaker 1: but I'd like to be in the mix. But it
Speaker 1: seems like this is now a story about Jack and
Speaker 1: Cad and swear right. And then they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're no longer on the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And when that happened, apparently he was told Carlton
Speaker 2: Q told him quote, well, you said to us, if
Speaker 2: you don't have anything good for you, you want to go.
Speaker 2: You said you don't have enough work here, so dude,
Speaker 2: we're letting you go. And then in this book, like
Speaker 2: there's also saying that Lindeloff also said quote he called
Speaker 2: me racist, so I fired his ass.
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, cool man.
Speaker 2: I mean like now he's like trying to be like, Yo,
Speaker 2: that was a l like when I was running that room,
Speaker 2: Like Lindeloff doesn't deny it, but god, I mean, why
Speaker 2: am I surprised? Like this is this is this is
Speaker 2: such the norm in Hollywood, especially when you have these
Speaker 2: like rooms too, where like Lindeloff himself is like, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I figured if I had like one person that wasn't
Speaker 2: like a white guy or something, it would be good.
Speaker 2: But I didn't realize how terrible it would be for
Speaker 2: this black woman to be in a writer's room when
Speaker 2: we're talking about like these like graphic lynching, lynching scenes
Speaker 2: that won't make it into the show, right Jesus.
Speaker 1: All right, those are some of the things that are
Speaker 1: trending on this Wednesday, May thirty. First, we're back tomorrow
Speaker 1: in June with a whole show. Until then, be kind
Speaker 1: to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Bye bye,
