Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Boost.
Speaker 1: He's in the with Trends Dan and Robert Brown, which
Speaker 1: you know I'm old, but I still was like, what
Speaker 1: does this mean, Miles Boost? He's in the zite with
Speaker 1: Dia Trends. Yeah. And you know what's funny? This is
Speaker 1: how it was so old. I've never heard of the
Speaker 1: song before, the actual Beatles song before. You just basically
Speaker 1: heard obviously I mean it. I mean, look you your
Speaker 1: legal name is John, and so is Lennon. So that
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like overlap, right there, greatest John's But yeah,
Speaker 1: I the only reason I knew it was because like
Speaker 1: it was one of those things like an older person
Speaker 1: was like, you know, Lucy and the Skywad Diamonds are
Speaker 1: talking about l s D and I, whoa this guy
Speaker 1: with diamonds? What is LSD? Yeah? I was like cool?
Speaker 1: And so that's the only memory I have to an
Speaker 1: older cousin, And who told me about that? Who are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Jack Lennon? I call him Jack. You
Speaker 1: might know him as John Lennon Jackie. Yeah, Jackie's Hey,
Speaker 1: where's Yoku? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah, go uh that's a great
Speaker 1: Philly word pill name Yoko yeaoka No. Um, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm a little sick. I got a little extra bass
Speaker 1: in my voice and I'm enjoying it. I'll just say
Speaker 1: that you got the d I don't know. I woke
Speaker 1: up feeling a little bit. Uh, I don't know, got
Speaker 1: gotta got a gland that is bigger than it usually is. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. You might just be fighting something,
Speaker 1: you know, but let's let's get into it. Miles. Dan
Speaker 1: Crenshaw is trending. Don't bully me around with that deep voice.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it, man. Uh Dan Crenshaw trending. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Previously Tucker Carlston. If someone made fun of Dan Crenshaw
Speaker 1: as I like, I believe Pete Davidson may have, uh
Speaker 1: he lost his ship over it. Like, how could you
Speaker 1: say that about a guy who threw his body on
Speaker 1: the line in service of American imperialism? Um, well, I
Speaker 1: guess today he did a one eighty because he's, you know,
Speaker 1: not as pro putin as Tucker is. And then so
Speaker 1: now he's like, yeah, well guess what. Now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make fun of his eye. So let's start crossing now.
Speaker 1: And the more I think about it takes a lot
Speaker 1: of golf. I pat McCain to attack the mom to
Speaker 1: worry about baby formula, as quote pro Russia said, I
Speaker 1: patched McCain. Wow, we'll see. I mean he wasn't mad
Speaker 1: at what Pete Davidson was doing. He was just mad
Speaker 1: that he wasn't as funny as he is with his
Speaker 1: ipatch McCain. Yeah, crush. I'm like, I don't, I really
Speaker 1: don't care. Uh, you know, like let these people rip
Speaker 1: each other apart. But it's just so funny. Before the
Speaker 1: higher On when Pete Davidson like made a joke about
Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw, it said SNL sinks to new Low by
Speaker 1: insulting wounded veteran like he's still bleeding. They don't give
Speaker 1: a know. It just means, like, you know, a purple
Speaker 1: Heart recipient type wounded in combat. My bad, My bad. Okay.
Speaker 1: I get if we're both protective of Dan Crenshaw exactly,
Speaker 1: and mostly because his name is a very famous street
Speaker 1: in South Ala so Shore. But yeah, I think this
Speaker 1: shows how quickly when you're a Republican nothing, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter all the ship that they say fucking like, who
Speaker 1: are the people who are above reproach Like veterans or something.
Speaker 1: The second you're like in the way of whatever, the
Speaker 1: very narrow agenda is like man, I give a fuck,
Speaker 1: like fuck fuck a gold Star family like whoa. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: like that, sporting events were still doing things where people
Speaker 1: like rousing you know, rounds of applause or people on
Speaker 1: their feet when like you know, over the p a
Speaker 1: at a sporting events like okay, let's you know, for
Speaker 1: all the active duty like military, let's please give a
Speaker 1: round of applause in that context, like Americans are like
Speaker 1: always default to honor the troops, but in this ship
Speaker 1: when it's like I'm a putin turd and it's going
Speaker 1: counter to what I like. So your ipatch, McKay. There's
Speaker 1: an article in the New Yorker and now I am
Speaker 1: three for three. I read three articles this week in
Speaker 1: the New Yorker, and with this trending episode and tomorrow's episode,
Speaker 1: I have referenced all three of them because lip trifecta
Speaker 1: baby Um. One of them was very bad about It
Speaker 1: was like a criticism of a book about how like
Speaker 1: economists like they're not all bad and like we need
Speaker 1: to let technocrats just do their thing a little bit,
Speaker 1: don't anyways. But the one, uh, one of them was
Speaker 1: about like this new breed of dictator like around the world.
Speaker 1: Um that like comparing them with the twentie entry variety.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that they say is kind
Speaker 1: of um standard is like they're the only thing they have.
Speaker 1: They just follow the hate. So wherever they're, wherever they
Speaker 1: sense energy and like anger and hatred, they will follow that.
Speaker 1: And they're not ideologically like specific in any way. Um.
Speaker 1: And you know, Tucker, I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: have have their chips on him being maybe one of
Speaker 1: the the next great Trump, the Trump of the future.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't don't surprise me he's not. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna be specific, were consistent. God, Tucker, please run. You're
Speaker 1: gonna make things so easy for the d n C.
Speaker 1: Their whole campaign will just be to play montages of
Speaker 1: your show and they won't offer any policy guidance or anything.
Speaker 1: Do you think that was I think he would he
Speaker 1: would do well, right, Like I feel like people are
Speaker 1: really feeling him. Yeah, he's slick with his mouth, and
Speaker 1: you know, he's smarter than republic most of the Republican base,
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's he would do a very horrific job
Speaker 1: of galvanizing that group of people. Just oh my god,
Speaker 1: Myles just aged fifteen years with that one exhale. Just
Speaker 1: grubhub is trending. So grubhub was basically like free lunch today. Great,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody came up with that in a meeting
Speaker 1: and they were like, let's do it. So they had
Speaker 1: a promotion where they were gonna let people order free lunch.
Speaker 1: So they did it, and as with many a tech company,
Speaker 1: they didn't, you know, make sure the infrastructure was in
Speaker 1: place to pull something like this off. Wasn't smooth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just like a fewer restaurants than usual were
Speaker 1: available on the platform, as restaurants just closed orders because
Speaker 1: they didn't want to deal with this ship. Um oh
Speaker 1: because too many people are like yeah, fuck it, and
Speaker 1: they're like, dude, I'm getting slammed with sixty orders at once.
Speaker 1: Some restaurant owners received notice of the promotion. Uh, that
Speaker 1: might not, but that wasn't the case. Across the board,
Speaker 1: orders were piling up as they awaited a courier um
Speaker 1: and despite and the the app and payment were both
Speaker 1: glitching app the whole time. And uh, despite those glitches,
Speaker 1: they were sending out tweets amid the cast to remind
Speaker 1: users to get their last minute orders in I mean nice,
Speaker 1: try to curry some favor with the consumers. But you know,
Speaker 1: the cool thing would have been like, hey, we're giving
Speaker 1: the couriers healthcare. Hey, here's you know, here's a fifteen
Speaker 1: dollar tip on grub hub you can give to your
Speaker 1: courier or something like that. But no, it is wild
Speaker 1: because tex c eos are always telling people there's no
Speaker 1: such thing as free lunch when they're telling them they
Speaker 1: can't have healthcare. But um, they wanted to see if
Speaker 1: they could make it happen. They did not try hard enough. Um,
Speaker 1: Biden crypto, what's happening is issuing his own coin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got a new coin. How do I open pdf
Speaker 1: jack coin coin. It's called Cornie. He's selling corn pop
Speaker 1: and f t s from that bad man who was
Speaker 1: the black guy. He kept a razor, rusty razor blade
Speaker 1: on him or whatever that keep the rusty razor in
Speaker 1: the rain jar, a rain barrel or something in the
Speaker 1: rain barrel. You're like, what the fuck? He assumed a
Speaker 1: population of like people under the age of fifty, we're
Speaker 1: all still doing this thing. That one person told them
Speaker 1: that they did and like it sounds like the equivalent
Speaker 1: of like a chain email that he heard of. I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, you know what the black
Speaker 1: people do. They hold rusty things in a rain barrel.
Speaker 1: And I'm Joe Byron, But yeah, this crypto thing is
Speaker 1: coming out because one of his picks for the Federal
Speaker 1: Reserves Vice Chair of Supervision is this guy, Michael Barr
Speaker 1: and he's got a Senate confirmation here and coming up.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people have pointed at the financial
Speaker 1: disclosures that he's put out, you know, since he's been nominated,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, wow, look at this guy. He's a
Speaker 1: pretty heavily invested in over eighty financial technology companies like
Speaker 1: crypto debt collection, micro finance firms and um. A lot
Speaker 1: of like watchdog groups are like, this is not a
Speaker 1: good person to be putting in a role who has
Speaker 1: a vested interest in cryptocurrency. When what happened with the
Speaker 1: like with the crypto market last week. Absolutely, you know,
Speaker 1: so many smaller investors got rinsed because of the lack
Speaker 1: of regulation that they're like, well, how is this, Like,
Speaker 1: how are you going to square this? Because it it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like this person is like trustworthy if they've
Speaker 1: already been like yeah, I got a lot of money
Speaker 1: tied up in this stuff too. Um. So you know,
Speaker 1: the revolving door kind of continues. But you know, I
Speaker 1: think on the other side of it, people, I'm sure
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is like, no, this guy is great
Speaker 1: because he knows about crypto. But it's it's difficult to
Speaker 1: like square all of that when you see some of
Speaker 1: these financial disclosures and just sort of like the an
Speaker 1: amount of like Silicon Valley people that have been on
Speaker 1: the transition team. Um. While again we're dealing with an
Speaker 1: unregulated ponzi scheme market with cryptocurrency right now. Are is
Speaker 1: there like a movement in the aftermath of this crypto
Speaker 1: crash which seems to be like it's sort of settled
Speaker 1: now the crypto is a mess and a scam. Um.
Speaker 1: It depends, man, because if you're like talking to crypto
Speaker 1: like maximalists you know, who are all they do is
Speaker 1: talk about crypto, they seem to be towing the line
Speaker 1: that it's like it's it's up and down. Man, We're
Speaker 1: gonna get through this. We're going to get through this.
Speaker 1: But what's different is like with Tara and Luna going down,
Speaker 1: those huge coins that crashed that like that one was
Speaker 1: pegged to the dollar. A lot of like smaller people
Speaker 1: like countless anecdotes of like, oh my god, I lost
Speaker 1: my entire life savings because I was into this stupid coin,
Speaker 1: because I got into this group think with everyone and
Speaker 1: we're all gonna make it, and I absolutely lost all
Speaker 1: my money. What do I do now? And there are
Speaker 1: some people see like doubling down. They're like, well I'm
Speaker 1: buying Luna now. You're like it doesn't have any value,
Speaker 1: but people are still thinking about like well, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: buy this dip so and the aftermath what I've seen
Speaker 1: is a lot more outpouring of like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of crypto l type accounts like retweeting like really just sad,
Speaker 1: like sort of juxtapositions of people being like good luck
Speaker 1: being poor, and then the next twot is like I
Speaker 1: lost everything in crypto, What do I do? But at
Speaker 1: the same time, there's a lot of angry computer scientists
Speaker 1: who are like, we've been saying that this technology is
Speaker 1: very flimsy and it's not really promising to do what
Speaker 1: everyone says. It's going to do. And that's I've been
Speaker 1: looking into a lot of the computer scientists who are
Speaker 1: taking apart this technology like this is Jane, like the
Speaker 1: funk are y'all doing? And I think really the biggest
Speaker 1: thing to consider with all of that is, which I
Speaker 1: think is really an interesting point at the moment, is
Speaker 1: that it's it's going to create an opportunity for more
Speaker 1: extremism um because with people losing a ton of their money,
Speaker 1: you have some crypto agnostic people or crypto apostles type
Speaker 1: people who are saying, oh, you know, this is all
Speaker 1: because of the FED and like they're against us, while
Speaker 1: really they're not doing the thing of like look at
Speaker 1: the people who put those projects together and who are
Speaker 1: probably laughing their asses off holding your money. That's who
Speaker 1: has your money, like don't. So a lot of people
Speaker 1: in extremism research are like this could be a very
Speaker 1: interesting place. You have a lot of distant, financially disenfranchised
Speaker 1: people who are looking for an answer, and if someone
Speaker 1: has a very sexy answer, that's like it's the government
Speaker 1: or whatever. These people rather than the fucking people who
Speaker 1: told you constantly that everything was gonna be okay, and
Speaker 1: they'd probably have their skin, like now instead of you
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of where that attention needs to go.
Speaker 1: And also just in general, like, yeah, it's it is
Speaker 1: terrible to read countless anecdotes of people who completely did
Speaker 1: not we're not ready to take such huge financial risks
Speaker 1: with their savings and did and that's really fucked up.
Speaker 1: Like it's like they're really like that's the real aftermath
Speaker 1: of it that I think is something that needs to
Speaker 1: you know, have an eye on it. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: saw somebody like tweeting I think it was the guy
Speaker 1: one of the producers that that podcast blank Check, but
Speaker 1: they were tweeting about how like any celebrity who like
Speaker 1: took money from a crypto company should just like the
Speaker 1: yeah response should be apologized publicly, say you're returning the money,
Speaker 1: actually return the money and then help people find like,
Speaker 1: you know, crypto disaster relief basically, because that like it
Speaker 1: it felt like it was, you know, okay, we're through this,
Speaker 1: like this this is a settled bad thing that has happened.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, it's you know, we we've been
Speaker 1: talking a lot about the fact that like each problem
Speaker 1: contributes to the other problems, and there's this like cascading thing,
Speaker 1: and crypto is definitely you know, a lot of people
Speaker 1: pitched as a solution, but it definitely feels like it's
Speaker 1: another another contributing problem to them all. And I think
Speaker 1: the projects that people will point to to be like,
Speaker 1: well this has the potential for this or that there
Speaker 1: are too few and far between, because most people are
Speaker 1: now like from the outside, we are ignorant about it.
Speaker 1: They're they're looking at like this prosperity gospel that's basically
Speaker 1: come out, and like the influencers around crypto are doing
Speaker 1: it like they've like a whole thing of just like
Speaker 1: showing opulent lifestyles to kind of seed this in the
Speaker 1: mind of you know, retail investors to be like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: this could be so this is a path of financial freedom,
Speaker 1: which for millennials can totally understand the the appeal of
Speaker 1: something like that because you look around, like, fun, man,
Speaker 1: my financial opportunities are fucking limited as hell. How am
Speaker 1: I going to get to like some sense of real stability,
Speaker 1: And a lot of people, you know, we're intoxicated by
Speaker 1: the promise of these kinds of things, and it's just
Speaker 1: it's just tough to see now the fallout on the
Speaker 1: other side of a lot of people getting completely just destroyed. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know it's it. It rolls on and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's true. A lot of the celebrities like
Speaker 1: Matt Damon and shipp Lebron James, who was you know,
Speaker 1: really touting ship is like the next path to create
Speaker 1: generational wealth. Those are terrible looks for y'all had like
Speaker 1: an edge go up, like as the crash was happening.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there were so many poorly times. I mean
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon's like his display name is like Fallon dot
Speaker 1: e t H like for Etherium, Like he's gotta fucking
Speaker 1: n f T as his profile pick. Like this dude
Speaker 1: is still on that ship, and it's just like, please,
Speaker 1: you look how like this man? How does this man
Speaker 1: constantly end up looking so bad? You're after here? His
Speaker 1: instincts are always good, always good. Um, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back and we're back. Uh.
Speaker 1: And the NBA Draft is tonight, I think, yeah, lottery.
Speaker 1: Oh it's the lottery tonight, not the draft, the draft
Speaker 1: out of the offseason. Yeah, anyway, the draft lottery. It's
Speaker 1: where every all the Pelicans fans make fun of the Lakers, right,
Speaker 1: so it's where like thanks for that. Lakers literally a
Speaker 1: lottery where they like show which team gets the first pick.
Speaker 1: Basically they can't have it just be like numerically determined
Speaker 1: by worst record because teams would tank. Anyways, the NBA
Speaker 1: Draft Lottery happens usually at halftime of one of the
Speaker 1: first Conference finals games, and the Eastern Conference Finals between
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics kicks off tonight NBA Action.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm excited for both of the Conference finals.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a great, great series. They're very promising.
Speaker 1: Margot Robbie is trending for a couple of reasons. This
Speaker 1: is a compound trend. Uh So. First, Margot Robbie had
Speaker 1: a letterbox to count um. It was like a burner.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like Margot Robbie was the name, I don't
Speaker 1: think um. But it got discovered and she took it
Speaker 1: down because she had had a section that was watched
Speaker 1: for Barbie. Uh So, like she was, you know, the
Speaker 1: movies that she was using to research the role of Barbie. Um.
Speaker 1: Which is interesting, Like I don't see why actors don't
Speaker 1: do that, Like that's dope. I want to see what
Speaker 1: movies they're watching. The it's like interesting to the people
Speaker 1: who would care enough to look at it, and then
Speaker 1: probably nobody else gives a ship. But I'm sure that
Speaker 1: that's easy for me to say, like I'm I've never
Speaker 1: been a woman on the internet. But um, among the movies,
Speaker 1: uh in the watch for Barbie section where the Truman
Speaker 1: Show uh splash splash uh and Puberty Blues, which is
Speaker 1: not one that I had heard of. It's a coming
Speaker 1: of Australian coming of age comedy drama television series. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then second reason that Margot Robbie is a compound
Speaker 1: trend is Bruckheimer. Jerry Bruckheimer is developing a new Pirate
Speaker 1: sequel around Margot Robbie, which makes sense to me. He
Speaker 1: saw um, he saw her as Harley Quinn, Like she's
Speaker 1: really big pirate energy and go big pirate, big pirate energy. Um,
Speaker 1: let's bring her home with messy like Lionel Baby. Uh. Look,
Speaker 1: he's the legendary player. He was at Barcelona. He plays
Speaker 1: for Paris Sans your Man. His contract runs out. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of speculation what's his next move because he's
Speaker 1: he's gonna be thirty five this year. Uh, and is
Speaker 1: the reason whose training was. There was a rumor going
Speaker 1: around that, oh, you know what, he might he might
Speaker 1: end up working around and retiring in the MLS, which
Speaker 1: everyone's like, the idea of watching Lionel Messi absolutely just
Speaker 1: rinse defenders would have been a site to behold. But
Speaker 1: his manager or his agent came out and was like, no,
Speaker 1: it's bullshit, absolutely false. So we'll see where he ends up.
Speaker 1: I mean he I mean it was it was very
Speaker 1: difficult to see him play in a shirt that wasn't Barcelona.
Speaker 1: But we'll see where he ends up. But how is
Speaker 1: he playing? Like is he at that stage of his career?
Speaker 1: Like what is he at the like Beckham post bending
Speaker 1: it like yeah, I mean he's definitely, yeah, he's. I
Speaker 1: mean his pace, you know, it's it's it's not what
Speaker 1: it used to be. But he's also just such a
Speaker 1: skilled dribbler and his control of the ball is such that,
Speaker 1: like you know, he's like he can be like one
Speaker 1: of those players who age as well because they just
Speaker 1: get more efficient. They're like, I don't need to just
Speaker 1: run as fast as I can. I can just start
Speaker 1: using my body a little bit differently to just make
Speaker 1: the plat like the passes and shots that I you know,
Speaker 1: that will help out. But like he's fast and he's quick,
Speaker 1: but his main thing is that he has the ball
Speaker 1: on a string basically, right. Oh yeah, yeah exactly. I
Speaker 1: mean just in general everything about him, it's like what
Speaker 1: can he do? Uh just scoring with both feet, free
Speaker 1: kicks whatever. Um But yeah, I think, you know, being
Speaker 1: thirty four, that's definitely a tough place to be because
Speaker 1: you know, typically they say you peek at twenty eight,
Speaker 1: but he was doing really well in the in the
Speaker 1: final like the years following that. Um so yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean this is always just the time to when agents
Speaker 1: start looking around, like where's the biggest payday for me?
Speaker 1: Also because my my client is about to retire too,
Speaker 1: so maybe we can all win with one last big deal.
Speaker 1: So we'll see. We'll see where that goes. But he
Speaker 1: would be like when pel came to uh the US,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that like that would probably fundamentally change how
Speaker 1: many people interacted, like the MLS, if like there was
Speaker 1: a chance to see loud on MESSI play every week.
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna happen, so don't worry. About it.
Speaker 1: How long did he a play in the US? Oh man,
Speaker 1: for the Cosmos. Let's see, he played. He signed a
Speaker 1: three year deal with the Cosmos, and I think he
Speaker 1: may have played three seasons. Okay, yeah, and that yeah,
Speaker 1: that blew things up for the beautiful Game and yeah
Speaker 1: in the United well and yeah, because I mean at
Speaker 1: that time he was he's you know, he's like a
Speaker 1: singular name still. But yeah, he said all these records too,
Speaker 1: for the three years he was there for attendance records
Speaker 1: because you know, people just knew. They're like, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't really know about soccer, but I know that one
Speaker 1: word l A and that I'll see that and that's
Speaker 1: all right, that's a little bit of all right exactly, yeah,
Speaker 1: hell yea. All right. Well, those are some of the
Speaker 1: things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We are
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 1: get the vac you know, don't do nothing about white supremacy.
Speaker 1: And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye bye.
