Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
Speaker 1: poll water a play on tadpole water, which is a
Speaker 1: growth uh TikTok weight loss tactic.
Speaker 2: TikTok w boss tactic that we're getting boss talk, What
Speaker 2: loss tactic? What the tadpoles?
Speaker 3: Just tadpole?
Speaker 4: That sounds honestly like a euphemism for something disgusting.
Speaker 2: I mean, not wrong, not incorrect.
Speaker 3: Is I mean? As I read it, I'm like, all right,
Speaker 3: it's actually.
Speaker 2: Not that bad.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's like Boba water, you know, healthy bobbobo.
Speaker 3: Water, like Boner water.
Speaker 2: I was like, what boba you know?
Speaker 1: You know I'm always talking about Boner's as bobosh.
Speaker 2: Dude, I got a Bobo.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I can't be saying that to me, man,
Speaker 4: but I need say Boner dude, this is a.
Speaker 1: Bob And I just realized I am recording from my parents'
Speaker 1: house this week, and I just realized the door is
Speaker 1: open behind me.
Speaker 3: Jack, You're too old for that talk.
Speaker 2: Oh boy. Anyways, Miles, how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm great? How's your how's your mom's birthday?
Speaker 2: My mom's britt shout out to my mom.
Speaker 1: We did a party for her and I got to
Speaker 1: meet some of her friends from elementary school and they
Speaker 1: could dance. One of her friend's longtime friend was tearing
Speaker 1: up the dance floor.
Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun. Yeah, so yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was a great time.
Speaker 1: Saw a bunch of you know, cousins that I hadn't
Speaker 1: seen in a long time, and had a good old time.
Speaker 1: All the kids stayed home.
Speaker 3: All right, nice party on, party on mom.
Speaker 2: That's right, party on mom. All right.
Speaker 1: So let's see the RFK article. I finally read it
Speaker 1: cover to cover, and just one other detail. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of details, like I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: forgetting a bunch of just wild shit that happens in
Speaker 1: the article.
Speaker 3: The track right now, the wild shit is coming.
Speaker 1: The wild shit is coming fast and furious. But one
Speaker 1: detail is that he seems to be fishing for cabinet
Speaker 1: positions inside the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: Oh, which is.
Speaker 1: A little unnerving though, So we did, you know, I
Speaker 1: think he met with Trump at the beginning of his
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen presidency and was like, yeah, we you know,
Speaker 1: he's really into my ideas. And then we saw that
Speaker 1: phone call where Trump called him and was like Robert,
Speaker 1: you know, that one. Yeah, what you say about the vaccines.
Speaker 1: You know, he's just basically paraphrasing the stuff it RFK
Speaker 1: says about vaccines being dangerous for children.
Speaker 2: And so this is all making sense.
Speaker 1: It sounds like the Trump administration is trying to or
Speaker 1: it sounds like the Trump campaign is trying to get
Speaker 1: him to drop out in exchange for a posting and
Speaker 1: the like, I'll just read from the article. They said,
Speaker 1: you know, we know that you take more from us
Speaker 1: than you take from Biden. This is back when Biden
Speaker 1: was still in the race. She recalled. This is someone
Speaker 1: from Kennedy's campaign. Trump and his team, she went on,
Speaker 1: had asked, Kennedy, is there something that.
Speaker 2: You would want to do?
Speaker 1: Oh god, Kennedy is not opposed to serving in a
Speaker 1: Trump administration Secretary of Health and Human Services, Fox Kennedy said,
Speaker 1: is an incredibly interesting one.
Speaker 3: Who's Fox Kennedy?
Speaker 1: Fox Kennedy is, yeah, yeah, I think they're you know,
Speaker 1: a hyphenated last name.
Speaker 2: They're not. Their name is not Fox Kennedy.
Speaker 3: And this is my kid Fox.
Speaker 4: After I ran over a Fox and I was like
Speaker 4: it might get after you. Yeah, wow, yeah, could you
Speaker 4: imagine like truly just a worst case scenario, Trump allies
Speaker 4: like we would be just the there are some prospects
Speaker 4: for what the next four to sixteen years look like
Speaker 4: that are just the nation on fire, hurdling off a cliff, right, And.
Speaker 1: These are some of those little details that just feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it can always get so much worse.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's like, not only would he be president,
Speaker 4: then you have anti VAXX hero RFK Junior, a lover
Speaker 4: of dead animals, be that Health and Human Services secretary. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like every all the illnesses that you would get in
Speaker 4: Oregon Trail are going to have a revival.
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, The New York Times.
Speaker 1: I'm just like checking the New York Times front page
Speaker 1: to see how they're covering the election, and uh, they
Speaker 1: love nothing more than an uncommitted voter, which you know
Speaker 1: is a group of people that tells you exactly nothing
Speaker 1: because they don't really believe anything, so they're just but
Speaker 1: so it's it's like that section of the Onion, like
Speaker 1: Voices around Town or whatever, you know, where they have
Speaker 1: like man on the Street interviews with the same stock
Speaker 1: photos over and over again, but just you know, without
Speaker 1: the jokes, but with the same amount of content and
Speaker 1: information being conveyed right and.
Speaker 4: Also uncommitted, not like the movement to actually lean on
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: To no no, no commit New York that don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the New York Times doesn't pay to a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they don't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, these are people who are like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: maybe from maybe maybe Harris.
Speaker 3: That's the person they're talking about here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like what one of them says the irony of
Speaker 1: the Republican Party, saying, oh, it's just another liberal.
Speaker 2: I mean, Vance is just another hyper conservative.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so like I agree with that, but then uh,
Speaker 1: Kristin Morris sixty says, I'm just.
Speaker 2: Looking for somebody to throw me a bone here.
Speaker 1: Okay, It's like I don't I thought I understood where
Speaker 1: she was going at the beginning, but like, the the
Speaker 1: whole thing like is just it feels like they want
Speaker 1: a someone who is nothing, and I feel like that's
Speaker 1: the New York Times ideal. They're so centered that they
Speaker 1: don't have any idea that they they want somebody who
Speaker 1: has no ideals that could possibly offend anyone.
Speaker 4: Sure, they're like, I mean in this in this case, though,
Speaker 4: it sounded like this person's more just like, look, man,
Speaker 4: whoever's gonna fuck it out. It could be a fucking
Speaker 4: dead bear cub underneath a bicycle, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Do someone throw me a.
Speaker 4: Freaking bone, freaking bone which would lead me to believe
Speaker 4: that Kristen, you are probably less inclined to maybe vote
Speaker 4: for a Trump ticket if you're if you're looking for
Speaker 4: a bone, because only people are gonna get well, actually
Speaker 4: you'll get boned. But if you're getting looking for a
Speaker 4: bone throw you you probably need to be in the
Speaker 4: top half percentile.
Speaker 1: She describes herself as a raging moderate but is undecided
Speaker 1: about whether to vote for tru raging moderate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's where you look at that self description and
Speaker 4: you're like, well, you do have enough self awareness to
Speaker 4: be like enough with the attacks, like as if like
Speaker 4: a liberal party won't pick a liberal or conservatives won't
Speaker 4: pick a conservative, right, But also at the same time,
Speaker 4: but I don't know, there's something about Trump that maybe
Speaker 4: I might believe I might who knows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like people being like, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't like the pick, I don't like Wallstually, there's
Speaker 1: the best, the most resounding endorsement is like it's not
Speaker 1: a needle moving selection for me. That is a twenty
Speaker 1: nine year old social media influencer who is leaning toward
Speaker 1: voting for a third party, which I'm assuming that's RFK.
Speaker 1: Sharon Reid is a retired school teacher in Central Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Despite liking some of Trump's policies, she does not fully
Speaker 1: trust him, but she doesn't think Harris is ready to
Speaker 1: be president. And Sharon Reid said, he's been pretty liberal,
Speaker 1: so he's a good match for her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, would you rather get on like have
Speaker 4: like get on in a car with someone driving who
Speaker 4: you go? I don't trust this guy or someone who
Speaker 4: you go? And maybe they could be driving a little
Speaker 4: bit more right, a little more driving experience to say,
Speaker 4: like you don't trust that's a pretty that's yeah, that's
Speaker 4: pretty bad. But again, hey, you don't want to say
Speaker 4: out loud that you are voting for Trump.
Speaker 1: Yes, but again, let's go interview people who think liberal
Speaker 1: is a slur and put their opinions on the front
Speaker 1: page of the New York Times.
Speaker 2: Sure without any.
Speaker 1: Ryan rivera Ryan rivera is the final one. And they said,
Speaker 1: I have not seen the news. I've been so busy
Speaker 1: with work.
Speaker 4: That's like the realist ship that they that's an actual persons,
Speaker 4: Like do.
Speaker 3: You think I give a fuck right now? Like I
Speaker 3: don't know someone who.
Speaker 4: Can make my life easier, but yeah, thank you for
Speaker 4: calling me New York Times.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, uh and let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back. And one
Speaker 1: thing like, well, I don't think we brought this up.
Speaker 1: When Beverly Hills Cop for Beverly Hills Cop axle F
Speaker 1: came out of the beginning of July, I felt like
Speaker 1: that it felt like a it should have been in
Speaker 1: movie theaters. It was like shocking to me that it
Speaker 1: wasn't in movie theaters.
Speaker 3: Are more people talking pretty positively about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it felt like like like, no, it
Speaker 1: was fine, it was good, Like it got like mid
Speaker 1: middling like review aggregator scores. But so dude, like Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills Cop two.
Speaker 4: You know, I love the worst Beverly Hills cop which
Speaker 4: is Beverly Hills Cop three.
Speaker 1: So but those were all like big hits, Like Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills Cop three wasn't a huge hit. But I really
Speaker 1: felt like this would have made a lot of money
Speaker 1: at the box office. Anyways, they just announced the streaming
Speaker 1: ratings streaming ratings like publish one month later, so we
Speaker 1: didn't know like how big, how well it did until
Speaker 1: this week. It was viewed for two point zero five
Speaker 1: billion minutes, which anything that crosses a billion is like
Speaker 1: pretty wild. And even if it's like a series and
Speaker 1: this is a single film doing the math on minutes,
Speaker 1: and like, you know how many times that was viewed.
Speaker 1: If each time it was viewed someone bought a movie ticket,
Speaker 1: it would have been one hundred and eighty million dollars
Speaker 1: in its opening weekend, obviously, Like that's not a one
Speaker 1: to one. I just feel like I don't know, I
Speaker 1: didn't understand why Netflix wasn't just trying to trying it out,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, they have so much money, and
Speaker 1: like it would people would still watch it on Netflix afterwards.
Speaker 1: But it just feels like they've given up on the
Speaker 1: whole like putting a thing in movie theaters that people
Speaker 1: will actually go and see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they only do it just for awards eligibility,
Speaker 4: Like that's the only time typically you see like towards
Speaker 4: the end of the year, you're like, wait, this is
Speaker 4: a Netflix movie that's in the thing.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, Like I would have been more likely
Speaker 1: to watch it in a movie theater than like as
Speaker 1: like a direct to Netflix. Thing. I don't know, is
Speaker 1: that just me because I bold still have the connotation
Speaker 1: of like a direct to video not as good.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think people of a certain age or
Speaker 4: like the new Eddie Murphy movie, Yes please, I would
Speaker 4: go to the one ticket for the Eddie Murphy movie please,
Speaker 4: and that like in that feeling for sure. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I just don't I mean clearly they you know, I
Speaker 4: don't know whether they feel like it's it's more beneficial
Speaker 4: to them to be able to get all these views
Speaker 4: through the app versus like making theater money.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's hard to understand what they're doing
Speaker 3: at any time.
Speaker 1: I feel like it would have Also, like when a
Speaker 1: movie is a nice sized hit in movie theaters, it
Speaker 1: creates buzz, like it has more of an impact, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, like once they did a good job
Speaker 1: of marketing Beverly Hills Cop actual F I feel like
Speaker 1: like a lot of people knew it happened, but then
Speaker 1: like once it came out, it's just like silent because yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, people are viewing it in the like siloed
Speaker 1: you know, living rooms, so they're not there's just like
Speaker 1: not as much buzz. I feel like it would have
Speaker 1: been a better long term investment in the franchise to
Speaker 1: actually get it out there in theaters and like see
Speaker 1: it do well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was.
Speaker 4: I saw this clip of Matt Damon recently where he
Speaker 4: was talking about how the mechanics of streaming has completely
Speaker 4: fucked up movies because in the back in the olden days,
Speaker 4: like you know, when your booring identity, like the first
Speaker 4: born identity comes out, you knew the second hit of
Speaker 4: revenue came when it came out on video. So the
Speaker 4: first hit is box office, second hit is video and
Speaker 4: you get and like so there's a whole other wave
Speaker 4: of interest that comes up with that. And he said
Speaker 4: because of streaming, people don't buy physical media, et cetera,
Speaker 4: et cetera. But like I feel like even just following
Speaker 4: that sort of like one two punch of like get
Speaker 4: the theater, like get.
Speaker 3: A little fun out there in the theaters.
Speaker 4: Have people talking about it, and then when it's on
Speaker 4: streaming people will watch again.
Speaker 3: Isn't that good enough?
Speaker 2: But right, yeah, I mean it's interesting.
Speaker 1: Matt Damon said that because he has a new movie
Speaker 1: coming out, The Instigators with Casey Affleck, that like is
Speaker 1: going directly to Apple TV aka a vault where movies
Speaker 1: go to not exist.
Speaker 4: Yeah, akah, I only just found out, like it the
Speaker 4: Apple TV.
Speaker 3: It's so hard to figure out shit on there like that.
Speaker 4: One truly, someone has to come to my house, scream
Speaker 4: in my face and tell me something is on Apple
Speaker 4: Plus or whatever because I have no id. I just
Speaker 4: started watching that Jake Jill Apple show Presumed Innocent or
Speaker 4: something whatever that is presumed innocence, I believe is what
Speaker 4: it's called.
Speaker 1: My sister and my brother in law watched that and
Speaker 1: said it was good. But and I was like, wait, huh,
Speaker 1: there's like a Jake Jill and Sorry Sage show. Like
Speaker 1: didn't know it existed at all.
Speaker 4: It took like it took like her majesty, five of
Speaker 4: her friends, three of mine, Like anyone, You're not watch
Speaker 4: to Presume Innocent?
Speaker 3: What huh? The new Jake Gyllenhall thing. No, I'm like, Peter,
Speaker 3: So you.
Speaker 1: Need an interventions level of like people talking to you
Speaker 1: and then you're like.
Speaker 3: Wait, this is a David Kelly thing.
Speaker 4: And then you're like, oh, how come I didn't know
Speaker 4: about this at all?
Speaker 2: They said it was really good. I might go check
Speaker 2: it out.
Speaker 3: I watched it.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's kind of trippy because like it's it's
Speaker 4: about this like DA's Office where one of the das
Speaker 4: is murdered and Jake Jillenhall is like looking into it,
Speaker 4: but then throughout it you're.
Speaker 3: Like, wait, did this dude do it right?
Speaker 1: So it's very like Jake has to make a big mistake. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: not another teen movie reference because I am young and cool.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, speaking of young and cool, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are a couple of TikTok trends about weight loss
Speaker 1: that I don't know. It seemed like they don't work.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe this one does work because it poisons you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1: So the two that are trending this week are Tadpole
Speaker 1: water and rice zempic.
Speaker 4: Tadpole Okay, this is I think offensive to everyone at
Speaker 4: every level. So Tadpole water, I guess, is warm water.
Speaker 4: You take a warm bottle of water, a couple of
Speaker 4: tablespoons of Gia seeds, and a squeeze of fresh lemon,
Speaker 4: and young people are saying they're claiming that they're shredding
Speaker 4: excess fat with this homemade concoction I shred okay? Is
Speaker 4: that because like there's like a little bit of like
Speaker 4: there's chia seeds in it, so that makes you feel
Speaker 4: fuller or something. Again, I think it's like it is
Speaker 4: this is this is where I think when you look
Speaker 4: at this next one too, rice zempic, you're like, oh, right,
Speaker 4: Like we live in this society that is like worshiping
Speaker 4: impossible body types. There are drugs that people are using
Speaker 4: to like lose weight rapidly, but some of those things
Speaker 4: are sometimes inaccessible based on your insurance or money or whatever.
Speaker 4: So now it's like we can't afford o zempic. How
Speaker 4: about rice zepic? And this is just as an Asian
Speaker 4: person who grew up washing rice all the time, like
Speaker 4: cooking rice. Basically to anyone who's cooked like cooked rice
Speaker 4: and knows you have to clean the rice off, it
Speaker 4: rints it out. They're saying, take all that murky water
Speaker 4: when you're like cleaning your rice off and just drink that.
Speaker 3: The starts you walk the water.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, no yeah.
Speaker 1: And there there's actually a quote somebody asked a doctor
Speaker 1: which I don't know what century they're from some gator.
Speaker 3: Shit, dude, I don't want to hear this.
Speaker 1: That's a doctor like, is this does? Is this medically advisable?
Speaker 1: And the doctor said, uh, you know, there are also
Speaker 1: the chemicals and rice to consider. The reason we wash
Speaker 1: rice before we eat it is to remove ToxS arsenic,
Speaker 1: which is present at a high level in rice grains.
Speaker 1: There's a real risk that people who consume large amounts
Speaker 1: of rice water could be consuming harmful levels of arsenic. Yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: And now I feel too much like shit, I like a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of light arsenic poison.
Speaker 4: That's why it's like just kind of a grim trend,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, like what people are chasing
Speaker 4: with tadpole water or rice zeenpic. Yeah, just like very
Speaker 4: kind of like look I I in Japan. People will
Speaker 4: be like, oh, you know what some of that startsy water,
Speaker 4: like it's good for skincare or like washing your hair
Speaker 4: or something that's not kind of out of the realm
Speaker 4: of what I've heard the possibilities are with like this
Speaker 4: rice wastewater. But like to then be like, yeah, just
Speaker 4: drink that because I read an article about these starches
Speaker 4: that are present in it and then that will help
Speaker 4: me feel.
Speaker 1: And now you don't have to eat food anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I like chiasids, like what I like when they
Speaker 1: like kind of swell up and in a drink and kind.
Speaker 2: Of boba by it.
Speaker 1: As I was mentioning, give me a boner, but like
Speaker 1: not as a meal replacement, you know that's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, not great, but just TikTok you know they
Speaker 4: TikTok loves like a new watt type of water, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean. Like if you like, we've always
Speaker 4: covered some weird version of drinking like like water like
Speaker 4: but just with flavor in it, and you're like, okay, sure,
Speaker 4: so yeah, let long made the trends last, so we
Speaker 4: may just look. And I think people who have ever
Speaker 4: washed rice are like, don't drink that.
Speaker 2: Don'tn't that's not don't do that.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, all right, So you take the water that
Speaker 1: you that it's called porch water, all right, So it's
Speaker 1: like you rinse off your porch, you know, after a
Speaker 1: lot of people walked on it.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just I'm just putting it out there like
Speaker 1: it could be the next the next wave.
Speaker 2: Well what you do, zempic?
Speaker 4: Yeah, put put buckets underneath your deck, pose it down
Speaker 4: and use a big push broom to scrub it down,
Speaker 4: and whatever collects in the bucket, drink that and.
Speaker 3: The bits of wood pull will make you an Olympian.
Speaker 1: I guess it's where we're headed, you know, falling the
Speaker 1: water wars, So we might as well just get used
Speaker 1: to collecting all the water and drinking Jesus.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that the trends continue, the trends continue.
Speaker 1: We're gonna all look so shredded after the water wars
Speaker 1: because we're like going to be so sick from drinking
Speaker 1: the soap water.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's too real, too real.
Speaker 1: Those are some of the things that are trending this
Speaker 1: Wedness Day, August seventh. We are back tomorrow with the
Speaker 1: Who last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
Speaker 1: to each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: get the blue shots, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
Speaker 1: and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye,
