That is courtesy of Fat Andrew on the discord Orange

01:13

Crushed by Rim Big Big RM Fan grown Up. They

01:17

were like the first cool music band that I listened

01:21

to and you can tell it worked out and made

01:24

me cool because I call them music band, like like

01:28

a real cool kids. And I'm sure to be joined

01:31

as always by my co host mister Miles Yes, the

01:36

LA Lakers original Blasian Miles Gray coming to the mic.

01:40

Shout out to the Los Angeles Greakers. As with this recording,

01:44

we are up to one. Although we've the game Game

01:47

four has happened. We'll see, we'll see what happened. Have

01:50

hath happened in that game? But I will say this,

01:53

the response of Golden State fans has been really something

01:56

to see. There was a guy, I don't know if

01:57

you saw this clip at the Staples Center when we

02:00

were blowing their entire back end out. He was going

02:03

up and down the stands at Staples. I will cause

02:05

Staples and I don't reckon. I don't know a crypto

02:07

or whatever Dot Korman is. This Warriors fan is going

02:11

up down the aisles holding up a four, being like one, two, three,

02:15

four rings, four rings and everyone just starts going seventeen

02:19

seventeen you know you're talking about And he was like, okay,

02:22

was he like a straw man hired by the Lakers

02:25

to just get like he did have the vibe of

02:30

like when they have plants for like the audience cam

02:32

where they're like, whoa, this guy's doing a dance battle

02:34

against the mascot. He's a plan. It did have kind

02:37

of like they're like, there's no way you think four

02:40

is greater than seventeen, or you are just such a

02:42

new fan with the tag still on your jersey that

02:45

only occurred to you that maybe four was the most

02:47

somebody ever want in this league. I don't know. I

02:49

don't know. Also, his wig is not convincing. Just up there.

02:56

I've seen that guy from the ground side. Note, I

03:00

have my in laws there in town. I got them

03:02

on the Jalen Rose got fake hair conspiracy bandwagon. Now, yeah,

03:06

it can't all be right. We're we're all in agreement

03:10

that it can't all be fake. It's just I don't know.

03:13

It could be mixed medium fake hair. I don't see.

03:15

And this is the part I don't like, because before

03:17

I held him up as the strongest hairline of all time,

03:19

and now I don't like that we're wobbling in the

03:22

perception of it. That's what really hurts me. More than

03:24

whether or not he is faking the hairline. I think

03:27

it's like a situation like Olympic athletes are the greatest

03:31

athletes in the world, and then they use performance enhancing

03:35

drugs because too, like once all the attention is on

03:39

you and there's competition from other people with the greatest

03:43

hair in the world, then he feels like he has

03:45

to keep up with impossible standards. Would be my guess.

03:49

It was just funny how quick they went from like

03:50

the Internet there's this dumb conspiracy theory that this guy

03:53

got a fake hairline. They're like, oh really, They're like,

03:55

it is pretty strong, It's really and then they're like

03:59

then like five minutes in, is just turned into I

04:01

don't know, and maybe you're right. I was like, it's

04:04

that easy to maybe spread misinformation out there. Yeah, well, Miles,

04:10

we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat

04:12

yeah by a brilliant and talented podcast producer, esports commentator,

04:19

05:01

Wow you got Did you really make Ali Fancamps? I'm

05:05

working on it. Wow, I'm full stand. This new Horizon

05:08

Forbidden West DLC got me all fucked up. Uh, I

05:13

switched the Jedi Survivor. I don't blame you. I finished

05:16

two days ago and I'm just like on cloud nine.

05:18

It was so amazing part of me. I gotta let

05:22

me come through to your house in my PlayStation and

05:24

show your son the new Star Wars game. And it's good,

05:28

Oh my goodness, what man? The way I'll be taking

05:33

nine hundred droids and I'm like, let me smush all

05:35

y'all together. And they hacked through you because I'm do

05:39

you have control over one of like the trash compactors

05:41

or you just have the flow? You are the powers

05:44

like you'll just be like y'all need all y'all get

05:46

the most force powers ever. Oh yeah, and like there

05:51

was the one before Fallen Order. What was that one called?

05:55

That was on PS three that was like, oh Jedi

05:58

like Force unleashed. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there was

06:01

there was one scene, Jack where you brought down a

06:03

star destroyer with your hands. Damn. That's pretty good. That was. Yeah.

06:08

I think you had to match the buttons to do that.

06:09

But anyway, I know your GID still find parenting is

06:12

just a long process of withholding things that they would

06:15

like too much, right, they don't. They don't lose the

06:19

plot that Avatar too, I feel like would just destroy

06:23

our ability to get him to leave the house. Oh

06:25

really yeah yeah, but he likes that book though, the

06:28

Technical Journal. He absolutely loves it. One of the great

06:31

gift recommendations that we've ever received. Great. I'm I'm like

06:35

I was, I was really waiting with bated breath. I'm like,

06:38

if he's the child, I think he is like this,

06:40

you know, yeah, yeah, all right, yeah he is. Yeah,

06:44

just always up on the top bunk with that book,

06:48

only an hour after he is supposed to have gone

06:51

to bed. Yeah yeah, hey at least it's books. At

06:54

least's books. You don't. Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, we love that.

06:57

We love it, don't we, folks? Yea, we love it it. Kids, Ran,

07:01

How how are you doing? What's great? Man? Yeah? It

07:04

is a it is a happy Tuesday, and uh just

07:08

you know it is a I got a got a

07:10

cup of tea right here. I recently switched my caffeine

07:13

intake to kind of like trick my body into being

07:17

more awoken by the caffeine. I think I'm just too

07:20

used to coffee at this point. Like I was switching

07:22

beans every month, and then I was like, let me

07:24

just switch it up to me again and see if

07:27

that makes a difference. You're doing this shit like people

07:29

who smoke weed do it like, man, I've been smoking. Man,

07:32

let me really quick. That might knocks on the loose. Yeah,

07:36

is there like a Are there like sea breaks like

07:38

people do tea breaks? I'm sure there are. I'm just

07:41

doing I simply cannot. So I'm just switching up the

07:45

caffeine to see if it makes a difference. This is

07:47

before I'm not gonna lie. I was recently at Smart

07:49

and Final and I saw or no, not smartin Final,

07:51

I was somewhere else, but I saw the old Kirk

07:53

singy cold bruise with that panther on the can. Yeah,

07:57

I was for a half second. I was like, I

08:00

have to do I do it till him. I might

08:02

have to cop Yeah, you're like, I had to do

08:04

it to him, have uncontrollable caffeine and do his diarrhea

08:09

destroy my insights. But damn would I be awake? Yeah?

08:13

I found like a like a loose can I had

08:16

I was sitting on and I it wasn't great. It

08:19

had been like years had passed since I was supposed

08:21

to drink it. But when I pour that thing out,

08:23

it is opaque solid. Yeah, there's no seeing through that. Yeah,

08:29

opacity one of the one of the signs that well,

08:32

you're fucking with a strong cold brew. Ye. Gang. All right, Danil,

08:36

we're gonna get to know you a little bit better

08:37

in a moment. First, we are going to tell the

08:39

listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about.

08:41

We got some new details, a new theory on what

08:44

happened to Tugger Carlson as he is like threatening to

08:48

launch his Elon Musk collab, his own network. There there's

08:53

some more behind the scenes shit. This one kind of

08:56

boring and about what it seems true because it's so boring.

09:01

It's just like fucked with the wrong hr lady basically, yeah,

09:05

so don't comfort the people in the C suite. It is.

09:08

It is very like succession esque. Yes, like Katerina I

09:12

was saying, like Katerina who was running comms for Waistart

09:15

White Coat, she seemed impervious to the killed list, because

09:21

that's what these comms people do, like they help keep

09:23

keep your evil empire, like from the outside looking half decent. Yeah,

09:28

and no where every single body is buried. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

09:31

yah yah yah yeah yeaheah. So yeah, it ain't gonna

09:33

be us. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about

09:35

teacher pay, we will talk about the way that pop

09:39

culture is cycling back to the year nineteen eighty nine

09:42

in a number of ways, Like I don't know that

09:46

it can be coincidental, the number of ways that it's

09:49

just like they it feels like everyone in Hollywood two

09:53

years ago just we're like, okay, so nineteen eighty nine, right,

09:56

nineteen eighty nine, We're gonna go just make everything cool,

10:00

remake everything from the year nineteen eighty nine, gonna do

10:02

it again, and it's all coming out at the same time.

10:04

So all of that plenty moore. But first, Daniel, we

10:08

do like to ask eric guests, as you may know,

10:11

what is something from your search history? All right, I'm

10:14

gonna take you guys on a journey here because the

10:16

search history that I have here is the end of

10:18

my journey. But I want to see if you guys

10:20

can get there with me. So I'm going to sing

10:22

you a tune right now, and I want you to

10:24

tell me if you know it off the top of

10:25

your head. Okay, Yeah, m boo doo doo doo doo

10:29

doo doo doo doo doo. Baby Elephant Walk. Fucking nailed

10:33

that ship, well done. I had that tune stuck in

10:35

my head the other day. I couldn't remember what it

10:37

was called. And so Daniel Podcaster, okay, with nothing to

10:44

do except no useless shit like that song is called

10:47

baby Elephant Walk. Now now, not to call you out,

10:50

but Jack, did you know that off the top of

10:52

your head? No? No, no, no, I had where it was.

10:54

I was getting there. I was like the first step

10:56

on a one hundred step journey. To getting there, and

10:59

I was not all the way there. So here's the

11:01

here's the journey I took via Google search to find

11:04

that song. Yeah, classic honky Tonk type songs. Wrong honky talk.

11:10

I don't think that is exactly wrong. That classic song

11:13

that has flute and horns also wrong. Song from Austin

11:17

Powers was not in that movie. Now here's where I

11:22

took a logic. I totally thought it was though. I

11:25

was like, yeah, that's right. That was a song walking

11:27

through City. Now in my head, I was like, I

11:30

feel like walk is in the name of the song

11:32

or something like that, and I was right. I was close.

11:35

But song walking through city not helpful. Yeah, and then

11:39

we get to my actual search Shazam you can sing

11:42

into because I was so tired of doing this bullshit

11:45

that I was like, I just have to solve this

11:47

by someone telling me what it is, and Shazam is

11:50

insufficient for that. Now, did you guys know that the

11:53

Google app will let you sing into it and it

11:55

will find the song? Wow? So work it worked. I

11:59

sang to Google and the first thing that came up

12:03

Baby Elephant Walk by Henry Mancini. There it is. Now

12:06

what humbled me a little bit. Was that it said

12:10

accurate a little twelve percent, twelve percent. I was like,

12:17

I mean, I appreciate you getting it, but you did

12:19

not have to drag me like that. Twelve You're kind

12:21

of all over the place, You're all over the map

12:24

here with your pitch. But I can tell that this

12:26

is what you're doing. Just don't do that in front

12:28

of anybody. Would be note, Yeah, my man, did the

12:32

Pink Panther theme too? Oh oh wow, that's right. Yeah,

12:35

good call. Yeah, so yeah, she'sam You can sing into

12:38

and gang. If you're like me and you have a

12:39

tune stuck in your head, just pull up that baby

12:42

girl Google and sing right into her and then boom,

12:44

you got yourself. Hopefully you could have just called me man.

12:48

You could have just called me man, I could You're right,

12:50

I could have, And maybe that's what I'll do from

12:52

now on instead of when I like was so into

12:59

those like just songs that you hear all the time

13:02

but didn't know what they were called. And like back

13:04

in the early days of iTunes, I had a playlist

13:07

with all like those those weird tracks on there. Yeah yeah,

13:10

and a lot of her Balbert tracks are on there too,

13:14

because like there's the songs you kind of hearing, like, wait,

13:16

what is this one? What are some of those Herbalbert

13:19

like in the Tijuana Brass, like Zorba the Greek? Do

13:22

you want to tax? Feel like I'm in that? Uh?

13:24

I think you should leave sketch with Tim Heide Acre

13:27

oh Man. Also also do the the thing that is

13:35

from a Biggie Biggie Biggie hypnotize rise that sample, h

13:42

that's her Balbert, that's her Balbert. Yeah, that's right, that's anyway.

13:50

So I know that I'm I'm yeah, I was really

13:51

into that kind of And when you said song with

13:53

horns and the fluid, I said, the intro of Tears

13:55

of a Clown anyway got smoky on the brain? Where

14:00

is that song from the Baby Elephant Walk? Like? Where

14:03

where would people have recognized it? When I looked it up,

14:07

it was actually in an episode of The Simpsons, in

14:09

the Dance and Homer episode. Yeah, but it was from something.

14:13

It was, um, it was written for some movie that

14:16

I can't remember right now, because when I looked it up,

14:17

I saw the Homer thing and I was like, that's

14:18

where I must have remembered it from or Hatari the

14:21

nineteen sixty two films. There you go, that I undoubtedly

14:24

have seen hundreds of times. No, yeah, I'm not. Yeah,

14:27

I think I knew it from like The Simpsons, and

14:29

then just it being like throwaway music that people use

14:33

for like comedic bits exactly. Okay that in Spanish fille Okay, yeah,

14:44

I know that one. That's like the whole music when

14:46

they like when like something goes wrong in the show

14:49

and then they like to like will be right back?

14:51

Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, being all right, what if something

14:54

you think is overrated overrated by the way, this your

14:58

search history could be an entire podcast. I appreciate that thing.

15:01

Nobody would listen to it. It would be it could

15:04

be it's you could have called you could have called

15:06

me man, you could just you could have called um my.

15:12

Overrated is special seasonings. And what I mean by that

15:15

is having, you know, a a spice drawer full of

15:19

things that are like your like crazy barbecue rubs or

15:23

these like you know, wild you know, flavored salts and

15:27

stuff like that. And the only reason I say that

15:30

is not because it's not useful to spice up your food.

15:33

It's that all of those seasonings are simply combination of

15:36

seasonings you probably already have in your spice drawer. Like

15:40

one of the things that I made recently was my

15:42

own cage and seasoning because it's like five ingredients and

15:46

you have all of them. It's not that I don't

15:48

want to go and buy cage and seasoning or something,

15:50

it's just that what I have all this shit already,

15:52

Like why not just make it? So I I had

15:54

I encourage you look at the ingredients on the back

15:57

of some of your spices and be like, oh damn,

15:59

I'm literally holding on to this, which is just these

16:02

five things that I already have in my spice drawer. Right,

16:05

Just do that? Do that a save yourself some money

16:07

and be They're probably higher quality ingredients when you're getting

16:10

them as the individual ingredient itself versus getting them in

16:13

some like kengeal whatever. It's like sawdustin to fill up

16:17

the eggs, fill up the bottle a little, getting spice

16:21

apothecre you're just cooking. You're mixing it up, extending, blending

16:25

on your own. Wait so what wait, so you'll so

16:28

you won't buy specialty spices. Now you're just saying I

16:30

can cook up my own, or you're just saying, if

16:33

you ever feel like you have to go out and

16:34

buy it, first check what it is, because the chances

16:36

are you might you might be able to just make

16:38

that shit on your own. I'd say it's I'd say

16:40

it's more column B, but certainly a little bit of

16:42

column A. I mean, there's definitely some something that we

16:43

had in our spice rack where I was like, why,

16:47

I feel like we probably could have made this. And

16:49

then we were just, you know, as we're looking up

16:51

recipes and whatnot, somebody had a homemade cage and seasoning

16:54

and I was like, this is bullshit. We have every

16:56

single one of these things. Let's just make it. And

16:58

it's fire garlic, paprika, cay inne, salt, pepper, onion powder, time.

17:09

You know. Okay, Cooking is googling like an ingredient and

17:14

then replacement and then just finding out what the closest

17:18

thing is to that because I don't have that ingredient

17:22

yea yeah, Or it's it's behind thirty layers of old

17:25

spices that exactly and not the cool, good smelling old

17:29

spice that I wear every day, but the old spices

17:32

that after shave I get from crowd, my crowd, my

17:36

spice rack. Have you seen people? Have you seen the

17:39

old spice in the bottle, the like old timey one? Yeah? Yeah, recently,

17:44

I thought it was a joke and I was like, oh,

17:45

that's right, that's how this shit started. And I was like, Okay.

17:48

In my mind, I thought this is a prank on me.

17:51

They're the deodorant company that do those weird ass commercials,

17:54

not old like this ship was old spice isld spice.

17:59

It had four more els in the label. Oh no,

18:03

oh no, deed, just an old spice. Yeah. What is

18:07

something you think is underrated? This is a boring old

18:11

head answer. But flossing. I've been flossing every day and

18:16

it feels great. Literally, not only is my mouth smell better,

18:20

it feels better. And it's something that I underrated for

18:25

way too long, thinking it was something that I had

18:27

to do for a week before I went to the dentist.

18:28

So that exactly. Yes, the dancing, thank you, I thought

18:31

you meant flossing like that, Yeah, exactly that, yeah, under

18:35

Fortnite dances. Yeah, but you shout shut out, shout out

18:40

Donald phase on the og got ripped off. Yeah, exactly.

18:43

You know, he never complains about that anyway. Um yeah,

18:46

flossing is something that I do every day now and

18:49

I don't regret it. I'll never go back because it

18:51

feels fucking great, and I recommend that everybody do it.

18:53

Oh you know, I started doing what tongue scrape then

19:00

andrew that shit. I was like, man, I've been abusing

19:02

my fucking mouth, like not getting at it with this

19:06

tongue scraper that do you have? Do you have a

19:08

tongue scraper or do you Yeah? I got one that's

19:10

like I have a I have a terrible gag reflex

19:13

like something if I like, if I even trying and

19:15

brush my mules. Yeah, that's how you know it's working.

19:18

That's how you know you're working hard enough to get

19:21

your mouth feeling good. Is when you almost throw up.

19:24

But I have one that's like a like a stainless

19:26

steel like ring like most he just put your tongueking,

19:30

Hey comes right off, hung man, that ship that comes

19:33

off of there not not what do we call them?

19:36

I don't know, smug? Yeah, yeah, gross definitely. That baseball

19:41

team from that's called football team and they're playing in

19:45

the Super par Thank you as when you get that

19:50

spung go off your tongue, man, spungo off your tongue go,

19:55

and it's uh, all bets are off. Yeah. The good

19:58

news and bad news about flossing is that once you

20:00

start doing it regularly and no longer is pretty like

20:04

things stopped coming out asn't exactly exactly and you stopped

20:08

like bleeding, which I had. Now I'm like, am I

20:11

even really flossing? Right? Like? Am I? Am I really

20:14

blood earning the clean gums that I have been working

20:18

for here. But I I too recently, like within the

20:21

last year, started flossing every day. Yeah, it's straight game changer, dude.

20:27

I gotta tell you, I'm not gonna lie. The high

20:31

I got with my dental hygenis went, wow, so are

20:34

you flossing more often? Yes, Queen. I walked outside. It

20:39

was like there was a parade for me down the street.

20:41

They were all like, who's the man of the him?

20:45

That's him him, there's wedded to three And I will

20:54

not talk about the check in with my dental hygienis

20:57

that got me to start flossing every day because oh god,

21:01

oh right, because they fell back and hit their head right, Yeah,

21:04

we are currently in litigation, so we're not going to

21:07

talk about Yeah, I mean it is a landmark case

21:09

that would define like what is actual, like you know,

21:12

like a salt, Like, yeah, they're your own negligence, that

21:16

is a salt. Really Yeah, okay, all right, the less

21:19

said about that, the better. Let's let's take a quick

21:21

break and we will be off your tongue. It's bungo,

21:25

off your tongue. Go. The other good thing about the

21:29

tongue scrapers are also the makeshift shaver when my kids

21:33

want to shave with me, Like when I'm saving you

21:36

have like a little plastic one, Yeah, a little plastic one,

21:38

and so they pretend like they're shaving with that. Yeah,

21:41

that's fun. That's fun. And then the tongue scraper tastes

21:44

like shit for a couple couple times. But then their

21:47

cheeks smell like shit horrible back to your own infections

21:54

on weird stripped down the side of their face. Oh man,

21:59

I really can't even kiss my own kids right, disgusting again.

22:04

The gag reflex. That's how you know the love is working. Yes,

22:08

when you have to get a little gag reflex before

22:11

you give them a kiss. All right, let's take a

22:14

quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back and

22:28

Tucker the people, this is like the Pruder films of firing,

22:33

Like we're just adding little blocks. Yeah, yeah, we didn't know,

22:38

said like a real JFK assassination expert, the Zipruder films

22:42

of firing. But there's there's a lot of theories as

22:46

to what happened here, and I don't know, so Rolling

22:49

Stone gave us the genre of this one is succession episode. Yeah,

22:54

they've been scratching. We've been like, we've been just trying

22:57

to figure out what has been going when the firing

23:00

because you know, we're like it couldn't be because he

23:02

was racist in private, what like were you and then

23:09

or that he's like a misogynistic piece of shit. I'm like,

23:12

that's pretty much most on air talent at the network

23:15

from past to present. But yeah, this Rolling Stone piece

23:18

a little more context, a little more texture. It sounds

23:21

like Tucker was feeling himself since his ratings were so

23:26

high through the roof and that even with like the

23:28

occasional advertiser exodus, he was still like top dog at

23:32

the network. And I guess he thought he was basically

23:35

Fox News himself and that anyone that got in the way,

23:38

like in his way, would lose. And his biggest beef

23:41

while at the network was with the head of communications

23:44

for Fox, a woman named Irena briganti And she has

23:48

been down with Fox for a minute and has been

23:51

doing all the dirty work of like coming at reporters

23:55

who report unflattering shit about the network, blacklisting certain journalists

23:59

even if they like said one thing wrong about like oh,

24:02

you'll never work for us ever, like I keep a list.

24:05

She was Roger Ale's mouthpiece, okay, and like continued after

24:09

his ouster and like when you think about like what again,

24:12

like with succession being loosely based off of you know,

24:14

the Murdochs, like this, it sounds like this person is Katerina, okay,

24:19

like like and Katerina is not maybe as aggressive as

24:23

this one when Irena Brigantie is. But apparently one of

24:25

those people who knows everything about the company has done

24:28

everything to keep the company, like you know, in decent

24:31

shape in the press, and it's been a very loyal servant.

24:35

And I guess due to her loyalty to the Murdocks

24:38

and her record of service she's basically unfucked withable at

24:42

the network, just like it Like there's like no way

24:45

because this is the person who cleans up all the messes.

24:48

Like when Hannity fucks up, she's got to clean the messages,

24:51

when O'Reilly's fucking up, She's got to clean the messages.

24:54

That's what she does. And she gets in front of

24:56

all these pieces and all that. So because of that,

24:58

I guess Tucker thought that she was food and figured

25:02

he could make a case for, you know, for her

25:04

being shown the door. And this is just from this

25:06

Rolling Stone piece quote. The sources say Carlson made his

25:09

case to Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott, Fox's chief legal officer,

25:13

yet Dan Murdoch, Family Air and Fox Corps CEO Lacklan Murdoch,

25:17

and even other Fox News personalities such as Sean Hannity.

25:20

Basically Carls quote. Carlson argued Briganti spent too much time

25:23

badgering on air talent and in the channel's personnel, and

25:27

that she was generally incompetent and mean spirited, and that

25:30

she regularly engaged in dirty tricks against him and other

25:33

hosts and contributors. One current Fox source with knowledge of

25:36

the matter described the carlson burganti feud as an intra

25:39

network deathmatch. Damn damn. So it sounds like again, like

25:44

I said, the Commons person's like, yo, Tucker, you like

25:47

go easy with the with all this wild stuff. We're

25:49

losing advertisers, or like like we need to figure out

25:52

what's going on. He basically took these kinds of words

25:54

when the person's like, I'm the one who has to

25:56

clean up the fucking mess, so can you work with

25:58

me here? And he's like I don't like her. Yeah,

26:01

she wasn't nice about the mess I made her clean up.

26:04

She's kind of side under her breath. He's just like

26:09

one of the one of those people who's never happy,

26:12

Like yeah, he's got that Trump thing where he's just

26:15

not happy unless he's like fucking with somebody or right,

26:18

you know, in a fight of some sort that is

26:21

helping him, you know, feel better about Like, well, I'm okay,

26:26

so I'm the biggest dog at the network, but like,

26:29

how do I prove how do I like keep getting

26:32

winds from my ego? You know? Yeah, I mean that

26:35

seems like the next like logical step. If you're are

26:38

if you are like beaten aka fired from the network.

26:41

Your next fight is with who has quote unquote betrayed you.

26:44

And so he's just like trying to take it out

26:46

as much aspot. But I'm guessing, I mean, you know,

26:48

but he's been trying to do this since twenty twenty.

26:50

Apparently that's trying to get her fired and there and

26:52

apparently everyone who's who works at the company and knows

26:56

anything was like, Bro, Tucker, you you don't want you

26:58

don't want to smoke. Another person who spoke anonymously the

27:02

Rolling Stone said quote he really thought he was gonna

27:04

make a change, And I kind of shook my head.

27:07

It was such a terrible idea. It was such a

27:10

clear suicide mission. But then again, at the time, I

27:13

guess he thought he was big enough to do anything. Yeah,

27:16

that's perfect. That's why I was a former Fox News

27:19

talent talent. Yeah someone else, Oh you can't come for her?

27:23

Yeah no, bro, that's that's why would you do that? So,

27:28

knowing that it's not the whole story, but it definitely like,

27:31

now you add up, it's like, oh, he's got like

27:33

he's he's bringing these lawsuits because of his own behavior

27:36

on the on the on the set obviously, like his

27:39

comments just lead to more and more like advertiser difficulty,

27:43

and he's trying to come for the neck of the

27:45

colms director who knows where everybody is buried. Yeah, when

27:50

you like, I can't imagine the person who had to

27:52

clean up the messes in the Roger Ales era and

27:55

beyond has little insight into the mess that we don't

28:00

even know about. Yeah at Fox. So yeah, at the

28:03

end of the day, we're like, well, she's sitting on

28:05

more information than Tucker outwardly like exposes himself for so

28:10

I think we're gonna go with her. But again, he

28:12

is this and like you were saying at the top, Jack,

28:15

there's like this Axios piece where that says like we

28:17

don't know what exactly is going on, but apparently him

28:20

and Elon have had some kind of conversation about potentially

28:26

working together without any specifics. So yeah, I don't know.

28:29

I mean that tracks Elon is just such a sucker.

28:32

He's going to try and work with anybody who's down

28:34

to work. Oh yeah, but I mean also someone who's

28:38

like on the same sort of level of like, man,

28:40

aren't these like woke people just like so annoying. He's

28:43

talking about like pay people a fair wage or like

28:46

don't be racist at your factory. Like I'm sick of this, right,

28:50

and yeah, who better than the guy who's like this

28:52

is how white men fight honorably? Yeah, fucking outline in

28:56

that fight. Yeah. So I feel like they're gonna create

29:00

like a weird like it just my guess would be

29:04

Tucker's next move is like I'm moving to Austin and

29:08

we're gonna like set up shopping Austin with like, you know,

29:12

create the weird conservative Hollywood Joe Rogan, but in the

29:17

studio next door exactly. Yeah. Right, But here's like I'm

29:20

curious now, like what what the evolution of the network's

29:24

going to be, right because since Tucker left, the ratings

29:27

have been bad. Yeah, and so they need That's like

29:31

basically when people come to your buffet for the roast

29:34

beef carving station, right and that shit's gone, people are

29:37

gonna come, they want their where's the red meat at?

29:40

Holding them up? I mean he's look, he's hold his

29:43

own in the late night part. But that's a huge

29:45

hole that is left from Tucker Carlson not being there

29:48

that I'm sure they're gonna find someone who's like they're

29:50

probably just gonna hook chat, GPT up to mine comp

29:52

or something and be like, yeah, do your thing. Yeah does.

29:58

I think that's one of the things that's intriguing is

29:59

the like the decision didn't make sense, so like, yeah,

30:04

it's gonna hurt their ratings kind of transparently from the

30:07

moment that they made it. He's their most popular person.

30:09

They didn't have like a replacement that made any sense

30:12

ready to go, So it's yeah, they were just like that.

30:18

That's why like all of this, like these are all

30:20

things that makes sense for a firing, but for this

30:24

firing where it was like we gotta get this done

30:26

like post haste immediately. Yeah. I think I think there's

30:31

I it'll be interesting to see as details emerge about

30:35

like what happened at the dinner between Rupert Murdot, Tucker Carlson,

30:40

Rupert Murdocks then fiance who the day after the dinner

30:44

they called it off, and who was like Tucker Carlson's

30:47

biggest fans. Like that feels like there was some personal

30:50

animosity there. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, oh, you're trying to

30:53

comfort you're in arena Briganti and my fiancee exactly. No, no, no, no, nope,

31:00

time to clip your wings or not today. But yeah,

31:02

apparently there was another thing that like Newsmax was offering

31:05

him more money than Fox to get him to go

31:07

over to Newsmax, and Fox offered him twenty million dollars

31:11

to do nothing. Wow, twenty million a year I think

31:15

for the rest of his kind, Like, how about this,

31:16

We'll pay him just like they tried to like fire

31:21

like fire him, but also keep him under contract, like

31:24

there's some kind of Yeah, I don't know if it

31:26

was to deal with like whatever was left in his contract,

31:28

but apparently there's an offer of twenty million dollars to

31:31

not work like a non conscious side post clause or something. Yeah,

31:35

huh is that? I mean, is that whole even fillable?

31:39

Like is there someone as hateful that they're like, yep,

31:41

this is exactly who we're going to put in there.

31:43

Or do you think this signals like an entire direct

31:46

swing in the kind of content they're even going to

31:48

try to put in that slot? I think would be

31:51

my guess. Jesse Waters is the most like he's the

31:54

most available to just slip into that and has absolutely

31:57

no problem saying the most vile, disturbing non sense ever. Yeah,

32:01

Or it's like, do they do the thing where it's like, hey,

32:02

maybe we go to the miners and go to podcasting.

32:05

Let's see what kind of right wing podcasters we can

32:07

call up to the bills. You know. Yeah, I don't

32:10

think you're Arena brick Gante is gonna like what we've

32:13

been saying. No, so I think we gotta take our

32:15

names out of the rounding miles unfortunately. All right, that's fine,

32:18

that's fine. I mean whatever. Look like ray J said,

32:24

I don't care. I don't care. Go ahead and try

32:26

and break it. Don't try and break my glass. They won't.

32:29

You can't. You can't. You can't you pray, Come on,

32:32

go ahead, break you can't. I'm gonna break them right,

32:35

go ahead. I don't care. All right. It is teacher

32:44

Appreciation week. Last week was teacher Appreciation Day, and oh

32:50

it's just is it there week? Now? There there's I

32:52

think I think it's like at my kids school there's

32:55

a teacher appreciation like week. Oh yeah, No, I think

32:59

it's just oh yeah, yeah. So just to like give

33:03

some check ins of what that looks like. So on Tuesday,

33:07

on Teacher Appreciation Day in the United States, you could

33:11

get one free select meal at TGA Fridays Let's Go

33:17

and a complimentary egg McMuffin at some McDonald's locations. So

33:23

I think we're done here, Like that's all. I just

33:25

wanted to check in to make sure they were being

33:27

taken care of, and it sounds like they are. So

33:29

you know what's wild though, too, Like as you say this,

33:31

USA today has like a thing of like here all

33:34

like the deals you can get for teacher Appreciation Week, right,

33:38

it's like, how about like here's the legislation that we

33:41

should be supporting teachers. They're like, hey, man, you want

33:45

to get a free moo moo shake at moo Wouse Burger?

33:49

Like does they literally have that office depot man, Like

33:52

that's so offensive where they're like office depot man, come

33:55

get some fucking school supplies. Yeah, you pay for it.

34:00

You have to pay out of pocketing out of here anyway.

34:04

But also if like if you're gonna give people free

34:06

crops and stuff, do that, I guess yeah, yeah, I

34:08

mean I definitely don't stop doing that. But it just

34:11

feels like that is the amount that's the least to it.

34:13

I think that's the least corporations can do. Now, what's

34:16

the least legislators can do? This is a yes and situation. Yes,

34:20

not a not a no, but is a yes to

34:22

my yes, I will take your free fire house sub Sam,

34:25

thank you, Yes and a right. Many teachers are in

34:30

less than a family living wage, and a twenty twenty

34:32

two study found that teachers earned twenty three point five

34:35

percent less than the comparable college graduates. Like people with

34:38

the same level of education, Right, going into being a teacher,

34:43

one of the most important jobs in our society is

34:47

like a bad financial decision. Like I remember when I

34:51

was like getting out of school, like the whole those

34:53

who can't do teach, like that being just a thing

34:57

that shitty people said, Right, But yeah, there's just a

35:01

growing shortage of teachers. More than three quarters of states

35:03

are experiencing a teacher shortage. But Arizona has the answer.

35:08

So one Arizona School district is building a tiny company

35:12

town of modestly priced studio apartments next to the school companytown.

35:22

I got to keep anniling you. You know that feels penitentiary. Yes,

35:25

good for school spirit. Yeah, Chino value Unified School District

35:30

is using federal money to build ten studio units, each

35:32

four hundred square feet four hundred square feet on a

35:37

vacant lot behind an elementary school, where teachers will pay

35:40

roughly but at a steep discount miles just like the

35:45

TGF Fridays deal. You know, if you got to live

35:48

in a fucking four hundred foot square or four hundred

35:52

square foot studio apartment and already lived next to the school,

35:56

next to your workplace, I believe you're supposed to be like,

36:00

wouldn't the real company township be like, and you don't

36:02

have to go nowhere because we own your ass. Yeah, well,

36:04

then charge the rents five hund fifty per month, which

36:08

is below market rate, but you are living at work,

36:12

which is tough. I remember when you could get a

36:15

studio in La in two thousand and nine. Five fifty. Yeah,

36:20

below is such a ridiculous statement, considering that rent is

36:25

so inflated right now. It's it's it's like say, it's honestly,

36:28

that is probably a little bit above what it should

36:31

be for that amount of space anyway, So to say

36:34

that is just like, yeah, below market just means like

36:37

not as greedy yeah exactly, like, and also four hundred

36:40

square feet on the premises of where you work is

36:44

below market in terms of what a renter would probably

36:47

be looking for, but that's not taken into consideration when

36:51

people are talking about yeah exactly, but yeah, so teachers

36:54

y pay can vary widely. In some states like Oklahoma

36:57

and Mississippi, teachers make an average of less than fifty

37:00

thousand dollars a year. And even when you get people

37:04

who are trying to address the problem or claim they're

37:06

trying to address the problem, that's oftentimes in a super

37:10

shitty way. You're not gonna believe this. But Sarah Huckabee

37:12

Sanders recently signed the Learns Act into law, which raised

37:18

the minimum salary for teachers to fifty thousand dollars in Arkansas,

37:22

which first of all, below the living wage in Arkansas,

37:25

second of all, was rushed through because the pay raise

37:28

was basically a smokescreen for a voucher program that will

37:31

decimate the public school system. And there's Florida like bands

37:35

on discussing gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexual reproduction. Of course,

37:41

of course thrown in there. Yeah you gotta yeah, you

37:45

come in be like yeah, yeah, like we've done the calculus.

37:47

We can afford to raise the pay this much because

37:50

these vouchers right are about to fuck things up on

37:53

the other end. That will help out a ton. Yeah, man,

37:56

that's wow. It's again like you're saying, like, even when

38:00

outwardly you're trying to do something right, or at least

38:02

in this instance in Arkansas where she's the governor, you're

38:05

still getting a fat middle finger. Yeah. Bernie introduced a

38:10

bill to make a federal minimum wage for teachers that

38:13

would raise public school teacher salaries nationwide two sixty thousand

38:16

dollars are higher, and of course the GOP pushback, claiming

38:20

teachers should be paid more, but it shouldn't be left up,

38:23

but it shouldn't be the big government telling the states,

38:27

which is exactly what's happening now and it's clearly not working.

38:30

But Biden also seems to be reluctant to make any

38:34

big moves on paying teachers because you know, he's got

38:37

to run it, run America like a fucking corporation. And

38:41

so also, shame on you man, your fucking partner, your

38:44

wife is an educator. Yeah, and you can't the fuck

38:49

at whatever. I don't I'm not acting surprised. I'm just

38:51

like this guy, like, you can't even this is these

38:54

are the easiest wins trv out as a politician. There's

38:58

no els again, and unless you're unless you're worried about

39:02

the sounds that your donors maker, like dark money groups

39:05

are gonna make, but like from people from their perspective

39:08

or not a single person who's like, man, teachers are

39:10

paid way too much. Not a single person. I just

39:13

watched the video this dude get fucking punched out by

39:15

his student because he took their cell phone because they're

39:17

cheating on a test. Yeah, and oh my man took

39:21

one to the eye. And then the same teacher got

39:23

pepper sprayed. I was gonna say it was the same teacher,

39:26

same teacher in Tennessee. That was the latest one who

39:29

got pepper sprayed. The clip before was when he got

39:31

fucking punched out by a kid who's like taking my

39:33

phone because I'm cheating on the test. I'm like, man,

39:35

the ship that people have to go through and the

39:38

lack of support, Like even like that teacher who was

39:41

shot by the student who brought a gun to school,

39:43

they're like, oh, that's a that's a workplace injury that

39:45

should be covered Byron shot. It's like not anything nothing beyond.

39:49

There's no other real negligence here, Hey, just comes with

39:52

the territory. Like really, Yeah, Biden's plan last year was

39:57

to encourage governors to tap into COVID relief money to

40:00

bump up teachers back. So, bitch, yeah, exactly, you need

40:05

to show me the entire breakdown. I mean, like, yes,

40:07

could I go online and look at the entire budget

40:09

and then see where I can square a few dollars

40:11

here and there. Yeah, it's called the defense budget, Thank

40:14

you very much. It's just like I you need I

40:17

don't know. It's just so it's in a desperate political moment.

40:22

Taking these easy ws seems like priority number fucking one.

40:26

Desperate though he's not desperate. It's because they know, man,

40:30

the biggest fucking gift these Republicans gave the Democrats was

40:34

them going so hard on abortion. Yeah, it's now all

40:37

they're gonna do is like we're gonna caudify Roe V Way,

40:40

No you're not. Yeah, gonna keep dangling that shit because

40:44

it's it's such a powerful, like motivational mechanism that you've

40:48

stumbled upon by accident, and that's why I'm like, I

40:52

don't know, like get ready for barely any promises twenty

40:56

twenty four. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you know,

40:59

I agree with you that it may not be as

41:01

like desperate, but it's still just it's I feel like

41:06

the bigger a swing, or rather the more because the

41:09

pendulum just swings back one way versus the other. You know,

41:12

you go from Obama to then Trump and now we're

41:14

like looking at Biden, but like giving us an extra

41:17

push the other way since the since we are not

41:20

in such a desperate political situation to maybe get Biden

41:23

in twenty twenty four is just like, why aren't we

41:26

thinking to do as many positive things as possible so

41:28

that the swing back the other way isn't so drastic,

41:32

because it's just like I feel like it's just setting

41:34

it up for an even harder pendulum swing the other

41:36

way to get whoever it would be in twenty eight. Well,

41:39

we talked about this. It's because there's this like, because

41:43

of all the consultants and that have been working on

41:45

decades on electoral politics, it's like it all follows this

41:49

same thing of like you speak slightly to the left,

41:52

you don't deliver on any of it. Yeah, And that's

41:55

that's how they nudget a little bit more by saying

41:58

whatever in the primary and then in the general deliver

42:02

on it. Yeah, and again because they know at the

42:04

end of the day, the thing that they're like, man,

42:07

we don't really even have to do this because what

42:09

the Republicans are proposing is so terrifying that it's more

42:13

just to be like, yeah, we don't have to don't

42:15

don't promise too much. And that's what's so cynical about it.

42:18

And there's also that like it's really dumb accepted wisdom

42:22

of like don't go too far left. Yeah, you know,

42:25

in a reelection bid, you don't want that to happen.

42:27

You don't want to get in over your skis promising

42:29

this stuff when meanwhile we're in like when you read

42:32

the climate of like just the tone of the room

42:34

and what people are asking for. They want, they want

42:37

this shit to go left, too far left, pay teachers

42:41

fifteen thousand more dollars a year, too far left. And

42:45

that's but that's what's wild, right, is like they've co

42:47

opt just to be able to say like, oh, it's

42:49

too much, Like no, what we're saying is like the

42:51

bear minny. Truly, they there's also evidence that this strategy

42:57

of just generally gesturing towards Trump might not be working.

43:03

I mean, it's it's a fucking Pole. So Pole's who

43:06

the fuck knows, but he's apparently according to a new

43:09

ABC News Washington Post, Pole set to lose by seven

43:13

points in a hypothetical general election against Trump, so all

43:17

the like, this is the smart move, and he's just

43:19

being like, what do you want to do? Have Trump

43:22

in there? And Biden's like a shoe win to beat Trump.

43:24

I think that's probably not the case. Like that. Everybody

43:28

assumes that, you know, whenever, like the same thing that

43:32

happened last time is going to happen again, and it

43:34

just that never is the case, right everyone? Yeah, And

43:38

I think for as much as Biden isn't Trump, that's

43:42

not enough for people. It's not enough. People are way

43:45

too in tune with what they are owed and what

43:47

their situation looks like that they're like, you can't just

43:50

be like I don't know, man, we gotta do better.

43:52

They're like, hold on, you make the decisions. Yeah, right, actually,

43:55

and you got to do better. That's why you gotta

43:58

vote many And if, if, maybe, if if Biden's physical

44:02

state didn't have him looking like the fucking naschool up there,

44:05

I would be a little more and be like, well,

44:07

you never know, maybe he's got some new tricks of

44:09

his sleep. But my man is like he looks like

44:11

he's about to blow away, Like he's threadbare, got nothing

44:14

going on. Was that Jerry Seinfeld who just came in there?

44:17

For a second, I feel like I just heard Jerry Seinfeld, Poppet,

44:22

I forget what you're saying. Look at that guy's sod's

44:28

what his hair looks like? Spider webs. All right, let's

44:33

take a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back.

44:48

And so is the year nineteen eighty nine. This summer

44:51

posed to be the biggest movie summer in years because

44:54

of the pandemic. Obviously my best year, pretty quiet years old. Yeah,

45:02

killing I have Batman bike shorts I will wear every

45:05

day my parents. Batman bike shorts is such a specific

45:09

butt like that was That was when um Axel Rose

45:12

started wearing blake shorts as like just a thing like

45:16

T shirt bike shorts and dam that was like, well,

45:20

I guess that's okay. Batman logos going all up the

45:23

side of the leg. I remember my parents, like I

45:25

would I would fall asleep and they would have to

45:27

take them off of me because I'm like, no, these

45:29

are my pajamas. Also yeah, and like I just part

45:32

of me anyway. So I think that year did make

45:36

a mark and the you know, brain trusted Hollywood has

45:40

looked at the metrics and we're like, we're just gonna

45:43

do that one over again, because yeah, so biggest movie

45:49

of the year, as Miles mentioned, as Miles head on

45:53

his child hips on his child legs Batman, so shout

45:58

out Legs. So in that in place of Batman, we

46:01

are getting The Flash, a new movie that, according to

46:05

the trailers, is just basically Michael Keaton as Batman again,

46:10

Like it's full up of like Michael Keaton saying I'm Batman,

46:16

like his first line in the movie. Also, you want

46:18

to get nuts, Let's get nuts, which I guess is

46:21

a line from the first one. I forgot that. Oh yeah, nuts,

46:26

you are my number one god. I remember that. Wait,

46:32

but does Michael Keaton say you want to get nuts,

46:34

Let's get nuts? Or the Joker? Yeah, it feels like, yeah, wow,

46:44

he's like his Bruce Wayne is a little It's like

46:47

I would not want to I guess that's true of

46:49

all Bruce. Bruce is Wayne, but just a guy I

46:53

wouldn't want to hang out with. Seems seems like kind

46:55

of a billionaire with like trauma. It's like he could

46:59

he could just go to me, maybe a couple of

47:00

therapy sessions which collects old weapons. Yeah. Yeah, So anyways,

47:04

that's coming back. People are like, oh my god, it's amazing.

47:08

The second biggest movie of nineteen eighty nine was Indiana

47:10

Jones in the Last Crusade. This year we have what, will,

47:14

according to Harrison Ford, be the last Indiana Jones movie again.

47:17

I think he said that about Kingdom of the Crystal

47:19

Skull Again. They have just wildly missed on the name

47:25

that they've given it. Like the first three were all

47:29

all made sense to me. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

47:32

too much. This one, the Dial of Destiny. Does that

47:35

do anything for you, guys? No, No, that sounds like

47:38

it sounds like you would do something for a seventy

47:41

year old person. I was gonna say that also sounds

47:43

like a bad rom com title. Dial Destiny. There's just

47:47

want to call away. I have to I've I've forgot

47:50

to bring mention this. When we brought up the Flash movie,

47:52

there was a article that was going around last week

47:55

because Ezra Miller, you know, they got all this fucking

47:58

legal trouble and like all these allegations that we've heard

48:01

constantly about and we've seen it on video ourselves of

48:05

if this Parson is acting wild in public, truly the

48:08

fucking The production designer of the film said that the film, Oh,

48:14

I just have to I just have to find this

48:15

this shit. How do you how do you even come

48:17

out and say this? How do you say this? Basically

48:20

said that the film it looks so good that quote

48:23

people will forget they're like this, that they will forget

48:27

their history of abuse because the movie looks so late.

48:30

How do you throw yourself under the buzz Like, what

48:33

is the point of falling on someone else's sword to

48:36

be like, no, no, no, it's chill. All that bad

48:38

shit they did, You're gonna forget about that? Yeah, what

48:41

is the point? Because people were just asking they in

48:44

this article, in this interview with the CBC, this guy,

48:47

Paul oster Burry said. Oster Bury says he's not too

48:49

concerned about how the story surrounding Miller will affect the film.

48:52

People will forget that this film could start Woody Allen

48:57

and everyone would still go because that's how how it looks.

49:01

That's how good the production design was. That's wild. Yeah.

49:04

So anyways, we got Dial of Destiny, which I'm pretty

49:08

sure the Last Crusade was built as like the last

49:11

Indiana Jones movie. So they're doing the exact same move

49:15

as they did in nineteen eighty nine. Also coming out

49:18

the Little Mermaid, Disney's remake of a movie that came

49:21

out in fall of nineteen eighty nine, and what like,

49:25

if the previous live action remakes of Disney films have

49:29

taught us anything, it's that they will not be adding

49:33

much to this, Like, they don't change a whole lot.

49:36

This is just a skinning of like the original film

49:40

with live actors and and better performers. I think I

49:43

think we're gonna get some good I mean, the performances.

49:47

At the end of the day, you're not having to

49:48

do much lifting creatively because you're like, yeah, that that's great.

49:51

And just in terms of a straight straight up transposition

49:55

of what was happening in nineteen eighty nine, they're really

49:58

they're really doing it. If I have, I've been on

50:01

record on the show talking about my disdain for live

50:04

action remix of Disney movies because I know that we

50:06

have talked about this in the office for years, basically

50:10

since the Jungle Buck and Lion King. You just and

50:12

I know and Jack, I know you. I mean, well,

50:15

I'm not gonna put you on the spot and say

50:16

you share this level of disdain, but I know that

50:18

you too have observed you just cannot make these animal

50:23

faces do what a Disney movie does an animation. You

50:28

just you cannot. You cannot, and you may not and

50:32

you may not and you may not. That's why you

50:34

were so mad about Flounder. Yeah, and then we talk

50:37

about Flounder and Sebastians. Since they announced this, I've been like,

50:41

first of all, like it didn't work in The Lion King,

50:44

and those are beautiful animals. Yes, undersea creatures are ugly

50:49

and terrified, and they are supposed to like they're cute

50:54

in the original movie. But like flounder looks really look

50:58

like flounder, Yes, he looks. Yeah. Flounders, which, by the way,

51:02

like actual flounders, have their eyes on the eyes on

51:06

the side their face. So what is even? What is

51:08

this even? It's a tropical fish of some sorts, but

51:11

something of some sort. Yeah, I'm it's like what if

51:15

instead of the original round, cute faced cartoon character, it

51:20

was like a a fish skeleton mixed with like Pete Davidson.

51:25

Like it feels like there you go what they've gone with? Right,

51:29

I'm just never I'm I you know, I am. I'll

51:31

say this like, you know, happy for Hallie Bailey, like

51:35

getting out there and becoming the star, even a bigger

51:38

star than she already is. Like this is of course

51:40

a huge moment for her. We will see some awesome

51:43

The music that will come out of this will be amazing,

51:46

much like the Lion King the music coming out of

51:48

that was amazing. But just stop it with the animals,

51:51

like what are you? What is I don't like we

51:54

can you can't do just no one Like I wouldn't

51:58

care if Flounder looked all cute in the live action version,

52:01

Like that's a weird. That's the one thing I feel

52:03

like people are like, Yo, didn't need to be that

52:06

real face finding Nemo that shit just it's okay if

52:11

it's a little pick sorry, just you you you do it.

52:16

Nobody's out here being like man, Mermaids is real, not

52:19

how they will be interacting with the undersea life out

52:21

of here. Man, Like, I'm fine with the Mermaids, but

52:25

don't freak don't. I don't want to look like I'm

52:26

seeing some shit that washed up on the Santa Monica Beach,

52:29

you know. I mean, like this flounder. Look he looks busted,

52:32

but he looks like he's got a problem. They say

52:35

it looks like Steve BUSHEMI I think it's what they're

52:36

saying on Twitter. There are cute like with flounder. I

52:40

was like, maybe they'll find you know. As Katie Golden

52:42

has pointed out on Twitter, there are cute fish like

52:45

they're a parrot fish that as long as you're not

52:48

too freaked out by the fact that they have a

52:49

set of human teeth up front, which you know, takes

52:52

a little while to get over. But they they're goofy.

52:54

They they do fun stuff like they're but they were

52:57

just like, Nope, it's gonna look like they've seen some shit.

53:02

They're gonna make it look like flounder has seen some

53:05

dark shit. Oh yeah. And also in my in my

53:08

own fear of not giving people enough credit. Like the

53:12

three D animators who are given these jobs to work

53:15

on these specific things obviously do incredible work, and the

53:20

ship looks awesome, but it is a effort completely in

53:26

vain in that you are trying to recreate an emotion

53:29

that is incapturable in a three D animated space. When

53:34

you're trying to make something look really quote unquote real,

53:36

you just whole point. That was the whole point of

53:41

Disney movies in the first place. To plunder the head option.

53:44

Sebastian was a no win, by the way, can't no crabs.

53:50

Crabs never looked at anything like other things. That's not

53:54

a bug. Bug. Yeah, in the Sebastian gonna rip his

53:58

own arm off. No, but that's what they do. Yeah,

54:02

they do when they're in when they're in a bit

54:04

of a spot, you know what I mean. That's what

54:06

I'm g that I will forgive it if Sebastard rips

54:10

his own arm office the movie, give me that terrify

54:13

Some children teach these, teach them about archidpots. So up

54:17

to this point you might be saying, all right, guys,

54:20

but like these are huge movies and like it takes.

54:23

You know, nostalgia has a cycle. Ghostbusters two came out

54:28

in June of eighty nine, and later this year. I

54:31

didn't know this. We're getting the sequel to Ghostbusters Afterlife.

54:34

They're doing a sequel to that, and and this sequel

54:38

takes them to New York City, so they're really bad baby. Yeah, yeah, Okay.

54:45

There's also the new Ninja Turtles animated movie, which, even

54:49

though the original Ninja Turtles movie didn't come out until ninety, like,

54:53

eighty nine was the year of full o Ninja Turtles

54:58

Like this was when the cereal was introduced the TV

55:03

show The Video Games. By the way, this detail on

55:06

the Ninja Turtles cereal I had forgotten. The cereal was

55:10

described on the box as crunchy sweetened Ninja nets with

55:14

Ninja Turtle marshmallows. Pizza shaped marshmallows were later added. The

55:18

Ninja net cereal pieces looked suspiciously similar to checks cereal,

55:23

so they were just like, oh, these are Ninja NEETs. Yeah,

55:30

you know how one of the Ninja Turtles has a

55:32

net with them at all times? Ye do this? Yeah?

55:38

I love that marketing person, Like, well, obviously we're just

55:41

making this with loose checks and we're adding our own marshmallows.

55:44

Like what they are gonna call these? Um, it could

55:47

have just called meats and talk about the similarity between

55:50

wheaties and like turtle food, you know, flakey that flakey

55:55

like fish turtle food. There's also on TV in twenty

55:59

twenty three, We're getting well, Rosanne is already here, Quantum

56:03

Leap is here. Doogie Howser dropping the second season was

56:07

Doogie Howser eighty nine. I think so? Yeah, is it

56:10

Who's the Boss reboot in the works? Baywatch remake that

56:14

nobody asked for? Even Mattlock is coming back? Matt really yeah,

56:20

aren't the old well I don't know, isn't anybody who

56:25

watched Mattlock probably you know, not with us anymore. I'm

56:28

still here, man, That's what I've been saying for years.

56:31

Mattlock fans, we are still here. You're gonna be out

56:36

on the watch list because Joe Biden is still our president. Facts. Okay, yes,

56:40

favorite show, you know what I mean. Yeah, I'm still here.

56:44

And like even like the reuniting of Matt Damon and

56:49

Ben Affleck was about like the invention of the air

56:52

Jordan which was, you know, probably hitting its original peak

56:57

popularity in like eighty nine. It's it's just mean, yeah,

57:01

we're stuck. It's fine, it is, it's what what it is?

57:05

Did you guys see Air? I did, Miles Nah, I

57:10

heard Michael Jordan wasn't in it, so I said that, Yeah,

57:12

he has. He has one quote unquote one line where

57:14

he says, hello, I loved it. I loved Air. I

57:17

thought it was great Jack. Did you I did not

57:21

damn did not care. I remember him saying I wanted

57:26

to like it. So I arned this out. I roned

57:29

this out right, now, Yeah, what what didn't you like

57:31

about it? Because I'm totally I mean obviously I'm completely

57:33

open to that. And you know, and but we know

57:35

how toxic you can get when we start debating movies.

57:38

Oh I get toxic. Yeah, take a breath first. We

57:41

know you, we know it. Um it just I don't know.

57:44

It felt thin to me, Like it opened with a

57:48

montage of like eighties nostalgia that just felt like it

57:52

could have been on like with like all the needle

57:55

drops were just like so down the middle eighties hits. Yeah,

58:02

like that. The speech, the climactic speech that Matt Damon

58:07

gives to Michael Jordan like didn't really, I don't know.

58:11

It just didn't resonate with me as somebody who's like, okay,

58:15

you have Michael Jordan about like the way that he

58:18

discovers he's great is by watching and rewatching the tape

58:22

of him hitting the game winning shot in the championship game,

58:26

and then like that's the only footage, Like what what

58:30

did they only license a single piece of footage of

58:32

Michael Jordan playing? Because well, they wasted all that money

58:35

on licensing all those songs, So it's kind of light

58:37

that to go. Where was it going to be? I

58:39

don't know, it just felt like there was not. It's

58:44

I think it's part partially like as a person who

58:47

grew up around basketball and who like I don't know,

58:51

like has like read books about like Jordan and what

58:54

makes him different and stuff like that, it just felt

58:58

shallow and kind of reductive. Okay, I think that is

59:02

a completely fair take. Yeah. I think you're gonna say, Okay,

59:07

like that's some old head ass take. No, I mean,

59:09

I think I think it's completely fair because honestly, one

59:11

of my favorite things about it is that it's short

59:14

I love it quick because the whole thing is my

59:18

thing about the movie is that if you go into

59:20

that movie, I don't think there's anybody who's watching that

59:22

movie unless you're like Jack and someone who has grown

59:24

up with basketball or is intimately yeah, exactly, or it's

59:28

just intimately familiar with like listening about how they go

59:31

shout out Jack, I'm boosties, but like intimately familiar with

59:34

the I don't know the shoe game of any time

59:37

before the nineties. It's like your association with Michael Jordan

59:41

is probably like entwined with Nike, Like you probably don't

59:44

even see Mike. You don't you don't think of Michael

59:47

with any other shoe period. So if you're watching that movie,

59:50

you're thinking about that or like getting to the end,

59:53

like well, I mean, I know what's going to happen,

59:55

Like what is there even I know who this guy

59:57

is exactly, I know who this guy is. What is

59:59

even what is even the point of this? So the

1:00:01

fact that it was so kind of like short and

1:00:03

to the point, and just I mean, you know, if

1:00:08

I'm being real, I mean Phil Knight and some of

1:00:10

his business practices I think are of course deplorable and

1:00:14

political giving practices. But they use like the Nike mottos,

1:00:20

like the core mottos that like he has up on

1:00:23

his wall of like job's not done till it's done,

1:00:25

and like all this stuff they use that as like

1:00:28

they cut to that as like little chirons that they

1:00:32

like show you in between scenes. And I don't know,

1:00:36

it just felt like spiritually empty to me to like

1:00:40

tell this story about It's like, wow, Nike almost didn't

1:00:44

become the massive international behemoth that is doing damage all

1:00:50

of it like it already was. It's just that it

1:00:54

didn't become even bigger. So it is the movie, But

1:00:57

so Jack the movie good on an airplane. I think

1:01:01

it would be a good airplane watch. I also think

1:01:03

I might watch it again with my wife and be like, oh,

1:01:07

I actually enjoyed this. You know, it was just I

1:01:10

think ninety percent of my movie takes are like, yeah,

1:01:13

I just wasn't like in a great mood. Wasn't like

1:01:15

feeling that movie at that time. You know, I will

1:01:18

tell you I'd become a full circle on this take.

1:01:21

I like it. Yeah. I will say that one of

1:01:23

my least favorite things about the show The Bear is

1:01:27

how much they're constantly like Chicago, this is Chicago and

1:01:35

the beginning of the of Air, I was watching it

1:01:38

just like do you have to hammer this so hard

1:01:43

to make the point because it's not like the rest

1:01:46

of the movie isn't trying to hammer that point home

1:01:49

the entire time. It's like, at no point you're like,

1:01:52

I wonder what time this movie said it miles. There's

1:01:56

like a montage with people like doing rubix cubes. It's

1:01:59

really it'sn't too long. It is too long and too

1:02:04

just like well, you know, because you know what it is.

1:02:06

It's it's not I think in the end it's not.

1:02:08

It's like for us but not really yes, because we

1:02:12

were there. Dude, I don't need this fucking recap. But

1:02:16

I'm sure for like younger people who would see it

1:02:18

like what the wow? What is what was this time?

1:02:21

And I think that's I almost want to say, like

1:02:23

that is what I feel like studio notes due to

1:02:26

a movie, because like I feel the same way about

1:02:29

like any show that's about video games or something. You're

1:02:31

watching the show and it's just like, this is annoyingly

1:02:35

what is this video game? Exactly? This is annoyingly hitting

1:02:38

the hammer on the head. It's like, yeah, I've heard

1:02:41

a pac Man thank you, right, Yeah, I don't know,

1:02:45

because like I like the social network, despite the fact that, like,

1:02:49

you know, I don't think Facebook is cool. Like the

1:02:53

fact that I like watched this and like wasn't on

1:02:57

board with like loving Phil Knight and Sonny Bacaro like that,

1:03:02

I've I've done that before. I've liked it before. It

1:03:04

was just like something just felt like pat and sort

1:03:07

of lazy about it to me. But I mean, look,

1:03:10

this is our time because clearly if this feels with

1:03:12

all this stuff going back around, I mean it's like

1:03:15

it's like partial studio and network laziness. And the other

1:03:19

part is like more millennial aged people probably influencing things too,

1:03:24

like on someone like you know that ship? What do

1:03:25

you know that ship will go? Although they should be

1:03:28

hiring us because we got some real ideas over here. Yeah.

1:03:31

Well yeah, and also this my take like it as

1:03:33

far as film, like the film industry is concerned, is

1:03:38

objectively wrong. The like it got an A Cinema score.

1:03:41

Everybody seems to really love this movie except for me,

1:03:45

so I'm not and I've listened to like even the

1:03:47

people from like blank Check and the flagrant ones like

1:03:51

all those people like this movie. So I just I

1:03:53

don't know. Check. That's fine. It's what you as an individual,

1:03:57

that's what. That's what. That's how you took it. That's

1:03:59

how it goes. No one bad bad. I shouldn't even

1:04:03

feel something bad about me. Um, so well then if

1:04:06

you're bad, then I'm Wesley Snipes. Hey, um, you think

1:04:10

you're bad? Thank you? What are they going to put

1:04:16

that shit out there? Who directed that? Was that? Who

1:04:21

directed the bad video? I feel like it was Scorsese

1:04:24

or something like that? Uh it was yeah, Scorsesey Scorsese

1:04:29

in directed the bad vide? Wow, holy shit, that was

1:04:32

eighty seven eighty seven, What a time to be alive. Time. Well,

1:04:36

Miles H. Thank you so much for having me. Miles,

1:04:40

such a pleasure. Appreciate you can find him Daniels, Such

1:04:47

a pleasure having you out, pleasure to be here. Where

1:04:50

can people also pleasure to follow you? You can find

1:04:53

me all over the internet at DJ Underscore, d A

1:04:57

N L. Danil. You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Twitch,

1:05:00

and TikTok. And I'm saying it here and now I'm

1:05:02

writing Twitter until the wheels fall off. I'm not going

1:05:05

to Blue Sky, I'm not going to any of these

1:05:07

other things. When Twitter is done, I'm never posting again.

1:05:10

It's over. But I'm not what was that thing you're

1:05:12

saying about white supremacy? I see the whole sea, the

1:05:16

whole thing anyway, So I'm runing Twitter. Wheels fall off

1:05:22

and then I've done with that shit. So if you

1:05:23

all of a sudden seem to stop posting on Twitter,

1:05:25

it's because the wheels have fallen off entirely what you

1:05:27

could say they already have. But huh, yeah, I'm curious

1:05:30

what for you defines the wheels falling off Twitter? Because

1:05:33

I'm like, I'm not necessarily I'm not protesting it by

1:05:36

taking I don't post enough to be like my content

1:05:39

will live elsewhere, right because I just I'm using it

1:05:41

less and every now and then I'll look at it.

1:05:43

But what to you? I'm curious what is your The

1:05:46

wheels have will and truly come off, and I'm off this?

1:05:49

Um I think, I mean, you know, if I were

1:05:54

to start listening things, I think it would be pretty

1:05:55

easy to see that a lot of those things are

1:05:57

kind of like already happening. But I think if there

1:06:00

is a total separation of the people who you know,

1:06:05

we trust as like news sources, and just like reputable

1:06:10

minds being silenced in different ways, like purposefully silenced, where

1:06:17

are not allowed to tweet anymore? In this and the

1:06:19

and the platform truly becomes a space that is exclusively

1:06:23

run by people who actually pay for the service, and

1:06:26

there's no way to access it without having like bought

1:06:31

into Elon's Twitter. I think the wheels will have completely

1:06:34

come off, right because you can still kind of get

1:06:36

what you need to get. Yeah, but I mean, I

1:06:38

know it to your point, though there's the algorithm they're

1:06:40

trying to game things to it to keep yea, some

1:06:42

things are arguably I can still use Twitter more or

1:06:46

less the way that I used it by just hanging

1:06:49

out in my following tab and just not looking at

1:06:52

the for you and ignoring every blue check because yeah,

1:06:56

it's pretty it's pretty clear who decided to pay for

1:06:58

the money and decided that was worth it. Oh yeah,

1:07:01

I don't really because those people any because now blue

1:07:03

checks are just the people who come up with the

1:07:05

worst fucking takes. Truly, they're like wow, And in a way,

1:07:09

it is funny how subconsciously You're like, oh, that must

1:07:11

be like a professional in here dehumanizing unhoused people. And

1:07:16

I'm like, no, that's someone with fourteen followers exactly, sending

1:07:20

his rent money to see so and so, bunch of numbers,

1:07:22

as we like to say, Yeah, yeah, Daniel, is there

1:07:26

a work of media that you've been enjoying? There is?

1:07:28

And I the funny thing is, I think I'm going

1:07:31

to do the thing where you're describing a picture on

1:07:33

the on the old Twitter, but I'll share this in

1:07:35

the chat right now. There's been this, there's been one

1:07:37

of these these memes. Y'all ever heard of these things?

1:07:39

These memes? Yeah, I love them. Memee's. It's where someone

1:07:43

quote tweets a tweet, but it's a picture of like

1:07:47

someone saying the tweet. And have you you guys, have

1:07:50

you guys seen Kunk on Earth? Yes? Yeah, Okay, I

1:07:54

will say I think it's kind of a joke that

1:07:57

only works for one episode, but it's so god damn funny.

1:08:01

And it's the host of Kunk on Earth saying this thing.

1:08:04

And I think this dude is one of the guys

1:08:06

in Choppo Trap House. I think, isn't that who this

1:08:09

guy is or maybe it's just a picture of that dude.

1:08:11

I don't know it it looks like it could be

1:08:14

Virgil Texas or Jason Schwartz. Yeah, I don't know. I

1:08:19

don't know. For a second I thought it was Jason

1:08:20

Schwartz right exactly, but no, I ain't. But anyway, the tweet,

1:08:26

the tweet that I the tweet that I love so

1:08:27

much is it's the woman from Kunk on Earth. I

1:08:30

don't know. I don't think I can do the accent,

1:08:31

but it's it's easy to think of Italy as nothing

1:08:33

more than spaghetti, garlic, bread and parmesan cheese, but a

1:08:37

quick look at their history reveals they invented fascism and

1:08:40

thinking of a Kunk on Earth saying that is so wait,

1:08:44

what is Kunk on Earth? It is a show on

1:08:47

Netflix that you got to watch. You can give it,

1:08:49

give it one episode. It's kind of like David Attenborough

1:08:52

if they were just wrong about everything an idiot, if

1:08:54

they were Ali G. David Ahose, the BBC show How

1:09:01

the Fun Do? I not? Okay, give it an episode

1:09:04

and you were gonna fucking line I'm in I'm in

1:09:06

off That description amazing. It's really funny, Miles wonderful having

1:09:12

you as well, where thank you to find you? And

1:09:15

1:09:30

the ups and downs of the NBA playoffs. Right now,

1:09:35

it's up, it's up. If it's definitely it's up. Hopefully

1:09:38

then it's stuck. Yeah, and we never I would love

1:09:41

for it to be stuck for the Lakers, and I'd

1:09:43

love for the current trend for the Sixers. Yeah, but

1:09:47

like I said, last time, the Sixers and Lakers played

1:09:51

each other in the finals and nine to eleven happened

1:09:53

to following September, So yeah, you know, if so, if

1:09:56

1:09:58

good of humanity and I will use that take till

1:10:01

the wheels come off. You can also find me on

1:10:03

four twenty Day Fiance with Sophia Alexandro or right now

1:10:06

we're talking about love is Blind and wow, that's something else. Um,

1:10:10

I don't really have any tweets that I like, so

1:10:13

I'll just say, you know, go honestly, here's my thing.

1:10:16

I'll challenge y'all if you see somebody selling food, like

1:10:21

we have good street vending culture in Los Angeles. Hell yeah.

1:10:24

If you live in a place where your street vending

1:10:26

culture is like emerging or whatever, I really challenge you

1:10:30

when you see people in your area serving up something,

1:10:34

try it. Yeah, because I bought I love this banana

1:10:37

pudding from this lady on the street. Oh my god,

1:10:43

bro dropped the link. Why don't I had to hit

1:10:46

her on her Venmo. She I was like, Yo, can

1:10:47

I give you this? And she's like, oh, just She's

1:10:49

like I hit her, like through her Venmo. She's like

1:10:51

just getting started. But does she have that Instagram? She

1:10:55

didn't even have none of that nothing. She's like an

1:10:58

address I love Jess getting started. I'll let you know.

1:11:01

This banana pudding was so good and again it's all.

1:11:05

And that's what I get for entertaining, you know, just

1:11:08

people in your community to doing something telling, you know,

1:11:11

sharing their gifts and talents. In LA I think we're

1:11:14

we're a little bit spoiled because most people who are

1:11:16

street vending have fantastic food. But I will say that yeah,

1:11:20

just just get out there, support your local person. Just hustling. Yeah, yeah,

1:11:24
