Speaker 1: with one Joseph Robinette Biden looks like a cool photo
Speaker 1: op h. I mean, granted, you know, BTS is massively
Speaker 1: influential on the interne then they got the whole army.

Speaker 1: would be great to just get a get a look at,

Speaker 1: out materializes this fall. Yeah, that Biden. Let's Pete Davidson
Speaker 1: dress him for a week. I feel like, god, yeah,
Speaker 1: that probably and he has like fake tattoos and stuff like,
Speaker 1: look he did it anyways, Mountain Dew Outpost. I think
Speaker 1: we we might have mentioned it that it was happening
Speaker 1: on a earlier episode, but I don't think we really
Speaker 1: dug into them to the like aaragraph snippet that I've
Speaker 1: put into the hockey here. But yeah, they're basically doing
Speaker 1: oh right, because we said Lydia, wait, we did talk,
Speaker 1: wasn't man, And I was like, yo, Lydia needs to
Speaker 1: go to this. It was a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a couple of weeks ago. But now we
Speaker 1: have more information and also it is timely. We have
Speaker 1: a mirror h five days to designate our Mountain Dew
Speaker 1: correspondent and uh send them to Mountain Dew Outposts, which
Speaker 1: will be open from June four to June twelve, which
Speaker 1: I believe is this here again, no way to know
Speaker 1: until midnight tonight, but I do believe. Uh, and from
Speaker 1: eight am Eastern time until dusk. Uh, they're leaving. They're
Speaker 1: leaving that one open because you know, sometimes you wanna
Speaker 1: you wanna keep it a little blurry as to when
Speaker 1: it's closing time, when you got the do coursing through
Speaker 1: your body. Um. The area will offer a variety of activities.
Speaker 1: UM could have used variety they're chose not to the
Speaker 1: people at Mountain Dew should just you know, take a second,
Speaker 1: take a second pass that this press release by the
Speaker 1: Arrow Area will offer a variety of activities, including a
Speaker 1: scavenger hunt for limited addition Mountain Dew camouflage bottles, Jack
Speaker 1: we gotta go to I mean you had me at camouflage.
Speaker 1: In addition, the special never released Mountain Dew flavors will
Speaker 1: be part of a tasting while supplies last. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: They say that they've poured a lot of money into
Speaker 1: like this outpost, like like they have done permanent like
Speaker 1: improvements to this site. Apparently it's a mountain dope not
Speaker 1: to the clever name out there in the out in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: And that's where mountain Dew comes from, the hills of Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, just tapping those hills for mountain Dew, like
Speaker 1: the origin story of mountain Dew. Anyways, you know the
Speaker 1: thing I'm taking from this love the idea of a
Speaker 1: mountain dew tasting, and I'm going to bring a couple
Speaker 1: of flavors of mountain dew that I haven't tried to
Speaker 1: recordings for the remainder of the week, once I feel
Speaker 1: like my body can handle it. Uh, you know, but
Speaker 1: I think I gotta. I got a twenty ounce thrashed
Speaker 1: apple at a Ralph's Slash Kroger the other day, UM,
Speaker 1: and also a the flame and hot one, which I'm
Speaker 1: I'm very curious, but I have not been able to
Speaker 1: bring myself to try them yet, because, as you know,
Speaker 1: once I pop, you can I can't. I cannot stop.
Speaker 1: Another thing that is trending. There is a new trailer
Speaker 1: for a live action Pinocchio starring Tom Hanks, m HM,
Speaker 1: J g L, Joseph Gordon Levitt, who I think will
Speaker 1: be playing Pinocchio. UM and Pinocchio is the one character
Speaker 1: we don't really see much of of the UM you know,
Speaker 1: iconic original. We see a Tom Hanks who looked somewhere
Speaker 1: between deranged and very stoned. As you pointed out, Oh dude,
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks as he looks like some fucking dead head,
Speaker 1: was like, fuck my dog, came to life. It's like
Speaker 1: his energy. Tom Hanks doesn't miss that often, but when
Speaker 1: he does, it often involves his hair and his desire
Speaker 1: to grow it out. Wait, like what it would be
Speaker 1: another one Angels and demon and angels and demon, angel
Speaker 1: and angel and the the da Vinci's codes. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he had that like long wispy hair and that one right,
Speaker 1: that's that is a um oral history that I need
Speaker 1: to I need somebody to do the oral history where
Speaker 1: they go into like the decision give him long hair? Right,
Speaker 1: read the dang da Vinci code. Just searching for clues
Speaker 1: as to where the decision came from to give him
Speaker 1: long weird hair. Um no evidence in the book that
Speaker 1: I could find that said he had an inexplicable hairline,
Speaker 1: inexplicable hairline and length. But anyways, he he looks like
Speaker 1: a shaggy Geppetto. I don't I don't think that the
Speaker 1: hair is going to keep me from enjoying it. And
Speaker 1: in fact, the level of commitment that is on display
Speaker 1: from Tom Hanks as Geppetto, like it seems like there's
Speaker 1: a pathos that is like coursing through Like, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: probably think all of his all of his dreams and
Speaker 1: hopes that you have for Chet, He's like, I use
Speaker 1: that to motivate my haunted Geppetto character about him, someone
Speaker 1: who's just trying to get it right for once, maybe
Speaker 1: feet and this little wooden doll. Maybe it won't. Could
Speaker 1: you imagine? Pinocchio is like Airman no Japetto and he's like, fuck, no,
Speaker 1: I'm cursed, I'm curse. What have I done? What the fuck? Uh?
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break because when we come back,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about a story that ties into
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks's hair. And we're back and uh so, Robert Langton,
Speaker 1: the character I believe that Tom Hanks plays in Trajan
Speaker 1: Langton's um is uh what one of the big have
Speaker 1: you have you read? That we're seeing that movie. I
Speaker 1: saw the first one because Paul Bettany, who plays Silas,
Speaker 1: as an Arsenal fan, and I only went because my
Speaker 1: mom was like, interviewed him and she's like, Paul Bettany
Speaker 1: likes Arsenal and almost like okay, I'll try. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: you freaky motherfu okay with the self flagellation all night.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is It's funny because At first, I
Speaker 1: didn't care because it was one of those books everyone's
Speaker 1: dad was talking about when I was in high school.
Speaker 1: My dad liked it so much that I read, right,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like, I honored the Like my
Speaker 1: friends dad's were like, oh, the Da Vinci you knows
Speaker 1: Bosh before Bosh and Ship, And they're like, oh, you
Speaker 1: got a lot. I got, Oh man, the Angels and
Speaker 1: Demons to coming out blah blah blah blah blah. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: no clue. So I watched it once and I kept
Speaker 1: it moving. I don't want to yuck anyone's yum on
Speaker 1: this one. It's uh. I will just say the premise
Speaker 1: is that Da Vinci like was aware of the Secret Society.
Speaker 1: There's like a good premise hidden in there. But the
Speaker 1: way he's sending messages across time is via like word
Speaker 1: jumbles and like the level of like puzzle that you
Speaker 1: find in like a uh like USA Today Life and
Speaker 1: Art section. So superroducer Brian just suggested New York Times
Speaker 1: Sunday cross Word, which way way too difficult. Yeah. Um. Anyways, uh,
Speaker 1: we we do want to talk about the Mona Lisa
Speaker 1: because the best best work of art Uh. Ever, I
Speaker 1: think we all agree on that and nobody doubts it
Speaker 1: except for the fact that it doesn't it hands are
Speaker 1: too complicated and it makes it seem like art is
Speaker 1: too hard. But people just deface it. Well, yeah, they
Speaker 1: they defaced the plastic cover that, you know, because that
Speaker 1: ships hermetically sealed. That's what I go for. I go
Speaker 1: for mostly the plastic cover, and sometimes I will look
Speaker 1: through it to the Renaissance paining behind past reflective angle,
Speaker 1: so I can't see anything on it, and I just
Speaker 1: I stand in awe of the reflective glass. But yeah,
Speaker 1: someone just dressed up like an old person, got up
Speaker 1: close smeared this cake all over. Uh. The the mona, Lisa,
Speaker 1: and I think the whole thing the guy was like
Speaker 1: it was a protest about like the you know, Earth death,
Speaker 1: essentially um saying, think of the earth. There are people
Speaker 1: who are destroying the earth. Think about it, artists, how
Speaker 1: you think of the Earth. That's why I did this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think it would have been in the
Speaker 1: Da Vinci Code if that was really a problem we
Speaker 1: needed to worry about. So I'm I'm good man. He wasn't.
Speaker 1: Silas wasn't talking about that. And if it was bad,
Speaker 1: he would have been talking about that there behind it,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't. So if you take that, Kanye's trending.
Speaker 1: He started a marketing agency, Donda Sports, and they've signed
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, basically the best player in the NFL. Um
Speaker 1: he's a defensive player, so fewer people have probably heard
Speaker 1: his name than other Oh jack, I heard of him
Speaker 1: just now, So do you know, don't count me out? Um,
Speaker 1: NBA all start, Jalen Brown is in the finals. But
Speaker 1: the other dudes that I just saw hit is that
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is saying he might retire after winning a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last season. So that's the quick all right.
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, that's the NFL players. Maybe maybe not
Speaker 1: always the worst thing, you know, absolutely, like you know what,
Speaker 1: I think I will protect my cranium or protect my
Speaker 1: head rather than my neck. But yeah, this is his
Speaker 1: foray into sports. Man. I don't this will this will
Speaker 1: be interesting. I don't know what that means, Like what
Speaker 1: you get as like being signed to Donda Sports? Is
Speaker 1: it the new clutch? The only time will tell? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Um and just anything. What what is the benefit for
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown to sign with with Donda Sports? He thinks
Speaker 1: Kane is cool. Yeah, right, Like I'm I'm I'm curious
Speaker 1: or I'm curious what the proposal is from Donda Sports
Speaker 1: to a potential client that where they're differentiating outside of
Speaker 1: like and you could have Kanye's phone number, which may
Speaker 1: be good enough for some people. But anyway, It's just
Speaker 1: it's interesting that it's a marketing because marketing like definitely
Speaker 1: seems like Kanye is like approach to marketing doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like it's something that can be just expanded across to
Speaker 1: other celebrities. I'm sure what it means is like if
Speaker 1: people wanted to kind of be in the same silo
Speaker 1: of like creative projects that Kanye is, then it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: then I want that as an athlete or something. Good luck. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And finally, Stranger Things For kicked off and broke the
Speaker 1: all time record on Netflix with two eight seven million
Speaker 1: hours viewed since it dropped. Um, this ship is fucking wild.
Speaker 1: I've only seen the first two episodes and I was like,
Speaker 1: looking at her managine, I'm like, wait, is it always
Speaker 1: this violence? I'm like, I remember motherfucker's getting like impaled
Speaker 1: and ship previously, so it wasn't always like you know,
Speaker 1: vanilla type stuff. But this time I was like, they
Speaker 1: did something with on screen violence I have never even
Speaker 1: thought of, like I could. I didn't even conceive of
Speaker 1: what I saw on the screen. I was like, that's new. Okay,
Speaker 1: Duffer Bros. Going for it. That's interesting. So they're growing
Speaker 1: it up with like they're doing the Harry Potter thing
Speaker 1: where the show gets more mature as the cast and
Speaker 1: audience grows up, where people getting dismembered in Harry Potter. No, okay,
Speaker 1: so there was still like there was like a line,
Speaker 1: right the first one is like very much like a
Speaker 1: children's book, um where it's like someone that goes into
Speaker 1: a room and then disappears kind of things and then
Speaker 1: they died. That's either're not there, but yeah, no, it's
Speaker 1: it's a I mean I think it's going out with
Speaker 1: a bank. I remember like in the build up, uh, Millie,
Speaker 1: Bobby Brown was saying, like they need to start killing
Speaker 1: people off like Game of Thrones. I was like, who
Speaker 1: do you have a beef it on the cat? That'd
Speaker 1: be cool, but I think you know everyone they're still
Speaker 1: in high school and now they're just dealing with high
Speaker 1: school things, and there is a depiction of the San
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley. I was shocked to learn that it was
Speaker 1: shot in a state that has good tax deductions for
Speaker 1: for film and TV production, so it was actually shot
Speaker 1: in New Mexico. So shot out New Mexico for being
Speaker 1: a stand in for the vat um. All right, well,
Speaker 1: those are some of the things that are trending on
Speaker 1: this Tuesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with the whole
Speaker 1: last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
Speaker 1: each other, be kind to yourselves, you have to vaccine,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to y'all tomorrow. Bike bikes
