Speaker 1: like people aren't wanting to admit that, Like, I don't
Speaker 1: think his first game is going to be nationally televised. Maybe. Oh,
Speaker 1: like I heard like one of one of the NBA
Speaker 1: people be like yet, oh, Bill Simmons, like the probably
Speaker 1: the most famous, like you know, person covering the NBA.
Speaker 1: NBA writer was like, yeah, Wembiyama is an interesting wrinkle,
Speaker 1: like interesting rink wrinkle. Oh it is Okay, his first
Speaker 1: game is going to be on ESPN, So that's okay,
Speaker 1: that's the least exciting Dallas San Antonio ESPN tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: You know us NBA heads.
Speaker 2: What a way to but what if a wrinkle? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: just put I get it. You're you're worried that your
Speaker 2: boy Jalen can't go left this season, so you're gonna
Speaker 2: cast his pursions on Victor web.
Speaker 1: We get it. No, he's I mean, everybody's pretty excited,
Speaker 1: but like I think everybody wants to just be like
Speaker 1: cautious and be like, I'm not gonna what I'm going
Speaker 1: to get excited and I have given given myself fully
Speaker 1: over to my childlike wonder when the victory Webbin, Yuma.
Speaker 2: Honestly know what, Like I think, if you're holding like
Speaker 2: why hold back, especially just as a viewer unless your
Speaker 2: job is to be to get it right. And again,
Speaker 2: no one's gonna fucking be like, oh you were right,
Speaker 2: you were wrong about Victor Webbin. You're excited and happy
Speaker 2: about him on y'all let him live, let us be excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but anyways, very very interesting time for the
Speaker 1: trend b A on this opening site. I'm Jack, that's Miles.
Speaker 1: Here are some of the things that are trending. Let's
Speaker 1: go Cranberry juice challenge. Yeah, what the fuck? Swish it
Speaker 1: and then see all the bugs that are in your mouth. Miles.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. It's unclear how this works, if this works,
Speaker 1: if this is real, but there is a TikTok video
Speaker 1: that has millions of views where someone switches their mouth
Speaker 1: with cranberry juice spit out uh, and it looks like
Speaker 1: there's like stuff in the dish and then they pour yeah,
Speaker 1: pure alcohol on it, and the whatever's in the dish
Speaker 1: starts like squirming around.
Speaker 2: Seventy percent ISO. Shout out to my people out there
Speaker 2: maintaining glass pieces. You know, you keep the ISO on you.
Speaker 2: But the narration or like the it's a parent with
Speaker 2: a child, so let's set the table here, and he's
Speaker 2: saying that, like you can see all the bugs that
Speaker 2: are in your mouth?
Speaker 1: Is what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like how it's sort of proposed and this little
Speaker 2: kid swishes some fucking juice around, spits it on a plate.
Speaker 2: They add isoprobe alcohol and like there's just like there's
Speaker 2: like just shit in like in the juice itself. To me,
Speaker 2: this looks like a kid who hasn't brushed his damn
Speaker 2: teeth is swishing his mouth around with juice and then
Speaker 2: like the shit he's spitting out is right there. Like
Speaker 2: I've never swished my mouth with anything and seen this
Speaker 2: one shit come out, Like unless I like I don't know,
Speaker 2: unless I just ate a bunch of like, you know,
Speaker 2: fucking food or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gross, like the medical the scientific literature is
Speaker 1: unclear as of yet. Like basically the comments are split
Speaker 1: between people who think it's fake for one reason or
Speaker 1: people who think it's fake for another. And then the
Speaker 1: only person who's like, no, that's just mouth bugs, dog,
Speaker 1: that's just what is going on in your mouth is
Speaker 1: the person who uploaded the video.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also I believe refers to themselves as a
Speaker 2: surveillance pro.
Speaker 1: Cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so again a lot of question marks here. Not
Speaker 2: exactly a science guy.
Speaker 1: But hide in someone's mouth and escape this guy's prying eye.
Speaker 1: Stop making it hot for the mouth bugs man. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: they're just trying to hide out in there.
Speaker 2: And if this is real, somebody pleas with scientific knowledge
Speaker 2: explain to us why. Otherwise I'm just going to say
Speaker 2: this is a kid who just ate swishing their mouth
Speaker 2: around with cranberry juice and whatever, or there's something else happening,
Speaker 2: but anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you can make stuff square around or like
Speaker 1: react weirdly by just pouring various substances on things. And famously,
Speaker 1: on a Friday at night, you're you're very known for
Speaker 1: doing that.
Speaker 2: Pouring various oblish substances on me, I will start moving
Speaker 2: way like a bug.
Speaker 1: Very Yeah, Taco Bell, their battle to free the Taco
Speaker 1: Tuesday trademark is officially over. They have been victorious. Wow,
Speaker 1: Taco Tuesday is free. Did we talk about this? I
Speaker 1: if we did, I had totally forgotten. I don't know,
Speaker 1: But it's funny.
Speaker 2: Even if we didn't, I knew about how everyone was
Speaker 2: getting mad about the Taco Tuesday trademark and how it's
Speaker 2: like it's bigger than us. Yes, we can't squat on
Speaker 2: this trademark.
Speaker 1: It has to be for the people. In the past.
Speaker 1: I feel like this would be a story about how
Speaker 1: Taco Bell was like trying to lock up the Taco
Speaker 1: Tuesday trademark, right, but now that people are savvier when
Speaker 1: it comes to marketing and Taco Bell in particular, what
Speaker 1: they did is they went around suing anybody who was
Speaker 1: holding down the Taco Tuesday trademark to free it so
Speaker 1: anyone could use it, not just Taco bellm savvy move
Speaker 1: t Bell, and they just freed it in the last state.
Speaker 1: So this is Oh, you don't think the United States
Speaker 1: is progressive? Come on, well, look at this Now you
Speaker 1: can say Taco Tuesday at any party, any bar you want,
Speaker 1: you know. So yes, every new rights and bodily autonomy
Speaker 1: not great, but yeah, yeah, New Jersey was the last state,
Speaker 1: the last holdout. Gregory's Restaurant and Bar in New Jersey
Speaker 1: was still holding the trademark and had been for forty years.
Speaker 1: I can understand how Gregory's Restaurant and Bar would feel
Speaker 1: a certain type of way, have a little bit of
Speaker 1: pride about being on the Taco Tuesday thing forty years ago. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: forty years before Lebron James was making it a big deal,
Speaker 1: Gregory was on that shit. You mean Gregory.
Speaker 2: Gregory of Gregory's Bar and Grill. Of course, his name
Speaker 2: is Gregory Gregory.
Speaker 1: That that has to be Miles. I think this is
Speaker 1: one of those AI replacing copy editors things. Conner Gregory, Gregory.
Speaker 2: Summer's Point, New Jersey, Gregory Gregory, his fight Wow. His
Speaker 2: name is Gregory's greg greg Wow, Gregory greg.
Speaker 1: You can't just put that in an article without commenting
Speaker 1: on its Conor Gregory Gregory, whose name is not a typo,
Speaker 1: played it looking like one's Gregory Gregory. Yeah, but double G,
Speaker 1: said Tago Tuesday brought a lot of pride over the
Speaker 1: past forty years. Relinquishing the trademark registration doesn't change that,
Speaker 1: but it does allow others in New Jersey the same
Speaker 1: opportunity to build their own tradition and helped spread Taco
Speaker 1: Tuesdays throughout New Jersey. Yeah, so it is.
Speaker 2: Well because initially there are articles being like, here's the
Speaker 2: here's the guy fighting Taco Bell by himself, and it
Speaker 2: is like it's a David and Goliath thing. But really,
Speaker 2: when you're like, now, like they they went after a
Speaker 2: fucking Taco John's, They're like, nah, man, free Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 2: And look, you don't want to you don't want to
Speaker 2: bang with us in court.
Speaker 1: We have money.
Speaker 2: This is so it is a wild way to go
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: And in a couple of decades when people ask how
Speaker 1: the phrase let freedom Ring came about, this is the
Speaker 1: origin story that will exactly.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the tacos at Gregory Gregory's spot do
Speaker 2: not look good. No, Like, I feel like, in a way,
Speaker 2: maybe they should they should not be calling these tacos.
Speaker 2: I think you know what Gregory look maybe yeah, I
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, those tacos look dry. Shitz dry. Sounds
Speaker 1: like a nice thing has been done for the people
Speaker 1: of New Jersey. Gregory, Gregory looks exactly like you'd expect.
Speaker 1: Seventy percent of the men in the state of New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who are retired hops and started at a bar
Speaker 2: and grill.
Speaker 1: That's right, All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, And
Speaker 1: the switch witch is causing a little bit of controversy.
Speaker 1: We're we are just digging into all of the top
Speaker 1: controversies on the internet. Yeah, you got your free taco Tuesday,
Speaker 1: you got your Cranberry juice challenge. The switch witch, which
Speaker 1: is not a sandwich. Not a sandwich. Fortunately, if you
Speaker 1: thought it was just taking your switch and putting it
Speaker 1: between two pieces of bread, because that Nintendo's right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're Nintendo.
Speaker 2: Or if you had an elderly grandmother, who would you know,
Speaker 2: hit you and switch to there's that too.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's where we've moved on. This is now,
Speaker 1: this is the Halloween tradition that parents are doing. Where
Speaker 1: it's from. Like a couple from Utah recently went viral
Speaker 1: for promoting the switch witch on social media. The idea
Speaker 1: is your kid gets to keep around five pieces of
Speaker 1: candy from their trigger treat bag and the rest is
Speaker 1: left out for the switch, which a literal witch who
Speaker 1: replaces the candy with a brand new toy, as witches
Speaker 1: are one to do.
Speaker 2: This is so I don't understand the like I get
Speaker 2: that they're trying to like, well, this is how we
Speaker 2: limit incentivize our kids eating less candy, Like do they
Speaker 2: not understand? It's like like it's it's funny, like adults
Speaker 2: really forget what it's like to be a kid at
Speaker 2: a certain point. You just want like your whole sense
Speaker 2: of pride is based on how full your bucket is
Speaker 2: or your your pillow case is with candy, right, not
Speaker 2: then being like and now I can use now I
Speaker 2: actually have Fiat currency to now trade this in for
Speaker 2: a puzzle set.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like your first lesson in just how like
Speaker 1: efficiency is Yeah, you know, going getting into trigger treating,
Speaker 1: It's uh, I don't know. My kids aren't like that
Speaker 1: into candy, but they still get very motivated to get
Speaker 1: as much candy as they possibly can and like hit
Speaker 1: as many doors and they've begun sprinting from from house
Speaker 1: to house quantity, not quality quantity. But it's so this
Speaker 1: is apparently been going on for a long time. It
Speaker 1: it's very very consumerist, like yeah, it's very elf on
Speaker 1: a shelf consumerist, like buy an extra thing for your
Speaker 1: house that then helps you like it is a reason
Speaker 1: for buying more things, right, yeah, truly.
Speaker 2: And there's like you don't need a doll for the again, sure, yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe you're helping your kids or like nutritionists are saying
Speaker 2: you're actually gonna cause kids to like want those the
Speaker 2: candy more if this is the way you're going about it,
Speaker 2: so yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of yeah, a lot of experts
Speaker 1: and health experts are like just making them choose five
Speaker 1: pieces of candy and then like give away the rest
Speaker 1: is probably you know, suggesting that they're like secretive about
Speaker 1: their candy eating or whatever. I don't know, but the
Speaker 1: the idea of like and you get toy for candy feels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just if you're if this is a if this
Speaker 2: appeals to you as a parent, I don't understand, Like
Speaker 2: this feels very like you have some things you need
Speaker 2: to resolve mm hmm, more than like like no I
Speaker 2: need to buy this witch, so I can get them
Speaker 2: to eat less candy so I can trade it out
Speaker 2: for another expensive toy that I get. Like what because
Speaker 2: if they start eating can of what?
Speaker 1: What? What?
Speaker 2: Just let them That's the whole joy of it, you know,
Speaker 2: just eat a bunch of candy and have your.
Speaker 1: Teeth throught out exactly. They are selling like switch which
Speaker 1: toy or switch which dolls that you like? Then I
Speaker 1: don't know why you would need that. Like, the whole
Speaker 1: point of the elf on the shelf is the elf
Speaker 1: on the shelf is a narc who is watching you,
Speaker 1: yeah the whole time. But the switch, which is just
Speaker 1: an extra toy to own, So that and the and
Speaker 1: then that toy then produces more toys, like a gremlin
Speaker 1: that you got wet after minute. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Anyways, stop with the fucking there's a toy for every
Speaker 2: fucking holiday by the end of it, Like, where's your
Speaker 2: Easter Measter that you put up?
Speaker 1: The fuck is that?
Speaker 2: It's gonna know if you're you know, you're actually being
Speaker 2: conscious about the resurrection.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, that museum. Did you see the Dwayne Johnson
Speaker 1: wax figure? Oh my god, Yeah, what a fucking shame. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that shit was so bad. If you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: you can go Google image search it. But it's just
Speaker 1: they have robbed him of all melanin. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: like a creative player at Dwayne Johnson with just they've
Speaker 1: turned him into a white man. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If you if there was such a thing as like
Speaker 2: looking at a human and you turned your eye like
Speaker 2: you told your eyes to be like now, dial melanin
Speaker 2: down to zero.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's pretty much.
Speaker 2: It's like a photoshop version of the palist Dwayne john Smoover.
Speaker 2: So it's being uh changed.
Speaker 1: Huh. Yeah, they're gonna The Rock noticed that it was
Speaker 1: going viral and was like, we're gonna reach out to
Speaker 1: them and see if we can't. Did you see the.
Speaker 2: Lil Wayne one No that came out recently. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: it is so bad.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 2: He has one that's gonna be in a a like
Speaker 2: a you know, wax museum in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Look at this shit, What the fuck?
Speaker 2: What is going They don't know how to do black hair, Yeah, like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck is his hair even? And then also
Speaker 2: his people say to look like there's like all kinds
Speaker 2: of threats talking about how who he actually looks like,
Speaker 2: and none of them are a little.
Speaker 1: Wayne, Yeah Jesus, yeah, a mess. So what happened?
Speaker 2: I thought, like the whole thing was like you went
Speaker 2: in and they fucking meticulously scanned your face and like
Speaker 2: you did molds and shit, Yeah, this looks like someone
Speaker 2: tried to do, you know, like draw litl Wayne from
Speaker 2: memory or some shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Like this article where they're talking about like going
Speaker 1: in and fixing it has just like a lot of
Speaker 1: quotes from the people who made the thing being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we really nailed it, didn't we. So I used a
Speaker 1: photo and the sample photo that was chosen where he
Speaker 1: had just a very slight smile on his face, an
Speaker 1: expression that's quite difficult to achieve. It was very subtle,
Speaker 1: but that that was really the challenge of nailing this one.
Speaker 1: And then uh yeah, the rock was like, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna reach out to see what we can do about
Speaker 1: that's just so just so wild.
Speaker 2: Like, also, none of are any of these people like
Speaker 2: people of color, because I feel like You're first thing
Speaker 2: would be like I think we're nailing to me what
Speaker 2: I think is important.
Speaker 1: About this guy too? Right?
Speaker 2: Sure, it's this vague smile, oh so difficult to execute.
Speaker 1: They have like there's a picture in the Washington Post
Speaker 1: article about them updating it showing painter Frank Bruno painting
Speaker 1: on his tattoo. And Frank Bruno is a white man,
Speaker 1: and he.
Speaker 2: Will now be in charge of making him the painted man.
Speaker 2: That's they called Morgan Freeman and Robin Hood.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they did call him that the painted man.
Speaker 1: All right, Cruz, okay, I'll bite. What is Cruise? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Tom No, the autonomous taxi company owned by General Motors.
Speaker 2: I think we talked about it briefly about how like
Speaker 2: there was like autonomous taxi shit going are we people
Speaker 2: were fucking in the autonomous taxis?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, now, the one of the companies that has been
Speaker 2: operating in San Francisco twenty four hours a day, seven
Speaker 2: days of they've had their operator license revoked by the
Speaker 2: California Department of Motor Vehicles. Why because the DMV says, well,
Speaker 2: GM has been like lying about certain shit. Their fucking
Speaker 2: cars are dangerous. Oh and also GM withheld evidence from
Speaker 2: us when we were investigating an incident where a pedestrian
Speaker 2: was injured by one of their dumb fuck robo cars.
Speaker 1: Oh so what happened was this car.
Speaker 2: Apparently this was earlier this month.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: The DMV says that a cruise vehicle initially came to
Speaker 2: a hard stop and then ran over a pedestrian, and
Speaker 2: after coming to a complete stop, it then attempted to
Speaker 2: do a quote pullover maneuver while the pedestrian was still
Speaker 2: pinned underneath the vehicle. The car sprawled along at seven
Speaker 2: miles an hour for about twenty feet, then came to
Speaker 2: a final stop. The pedestrian remained under the car the
Speaker 2: whole time. No, no, so that's not Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: it's a good call.
Speaker 1: Good call.
Speaker 2: It's almost like you shouldn't have ever given them the
Speaker 2: fucking license to begin with.
Speaker 1: But hey, no, let's test it out. What's the worst
Speaker 1: that could happen, you know?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, actually the thing that like San Francisco like
Speaker 2: residents are doing where they would just put if you
Speaker 2: could put a parking cone on the hood of the car,
Speaker 2: it would basically render the car at nerd oh wow,
Speaker 2: Like it would overload the fucking sensors and shit, and
Speaker 2: then you just have a bricked car sitting in the
Speaker 2: middle of the road.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the because it's the one with the like
Speaker 1: spinny camera on top.
Speaker 2: Right, it's got all kinds of yeah, I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, they got all kinds of sensors, and Whack
Speaker 2: could do things.
Speaker 1: Wack could do stuff just so you can get run over. Nah, yeah,
Speaker 1: run over and then dragged across concrete, literally dragged over concrete.
Speaker 1: All right, those are some of the things that are
Speaker 1: trending on this Tuesday, October twenty fourth, the happy one
Speaker 1: week until Halloween. Wow, it'll be get ready to get
Speaker 1: get get your switch witches ready, folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wow, I'm gonna have a wow. I'm not
