Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Hello, and welcome to this very special Thursday
Speaker 1: edition of ideo Active Man and fall trend Boy or
Speaker 1: Radioactive Man the Fallout Boy. For my Simpsons lovers out there,
Speaker 1: shoutout Fighter of the Night Man on Discord for that
Speaker 1: short show title, I'm Miles And who is that? That's Beca.
Speaker 1: Do we say your full name? We always say super
Speaker 1: producer Becca, but then sometimes you say Anna. Those needs
Speaker 1: full names. Well, sometimes Jack goes Ramos. Yeah. Look, I
Speaker 1: just I don't know if you're like a one name
Speaker 1: brand or whatever. So I'm just trying to get that
Speaker 1: space to brand however you need to or be Ramos bramosum.
Speaker 1: Which is funny because then we had dramas before Bramos
Speaker 1: and we're just keeping it all Ramos in the building. Um,
Speaker 1: let's see what's trending right now. Katanji Brown Jackson has
Speaker 1: been appointed to the Supreme Court. Um. Hey, it's all
Speaker 1: about these little victories, you know, Like let's sit in
Speaker 1: that and say, wow, was it two three years? That's
Speaker 1: all it. Sometimes a lot of evil white people make
Speaker 1: the right decision sometimes sometimes, but this, I think this
Speaker 1: would really show man like a bipartisan like confirmation for
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. I mean, at this point, I think
Speaker 1: what we saw was only three Republican senators have not
Speaker 1: are like only somewhat uh like completely corrupted by the
Speaker 1: ring of power UM from that side. But you know,
Speaker 1: what can you do. She's winning and she's doing it
Speaker 1: with style and grace up in the place. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I love to see it. Katangi Brown Jackson, congratulations. And
Speaker 1: you know they tried everything, but it just it just didn't.
Speaker 1: It feels like that UM not to be that person
Speaker 1: on audio medium talking about a visual medium, but there's
Speaker 1: that TikTok. It's like love a black woman to infinity
Speaker 1: and yeah, and that's how I feel right now. That's God.
Speaker 1: That's how we're starting to talk about my emotional state
Speaker 1: is this TikTok video. But I know that feeling. Some
Speaker 1: of my favorite videos right now on Earth are on TikTok. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed how much I'm onto. I have
Speaker 1: to delete it like every other day because I'm spending
Speaker 1: too much time on There is one where this dude
Speaker 1: gets his mom to read He's like, hey, mom, I
Speaker 1: need you to read this from my French class, and
Speaker 1: she's speaking Spanish and she's thanking all the people who
Speaker 1: helped her son with the Spanish project. But he wrote
Speaker 1: all these names, so she's saying all the wildest ship
Speaker 1: like He's like there was one dude whose name was Ela,
Speaker 1: and the way she was going through, She's like, and
Speaker 1: you're like, why are you doing this to your mother
Speaker 1: like that? Um? But who who doesn't love to fucking
Speaker 1: best around with their esl mom? That was me? Uh
Speaker 1: And I was a real real ratty shitty kid. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green is trending because this I mean, let's
Speaker 1: let's I just want to say, Marjorie Taylor Green is like,
Speaker 1: based on her preview a social media post, sounds like
Speaker 1: she's a fan of violence against politicians. Like she was
Speaker 1: like raw raying on the insurrectionist being like, no, that's
Speaker 1: what happened at the six that was all good, that's
Speaker 1: all clean. I like that when before she was elected,
Speaker 1: she was like saying shit about how like Obama and
Speaker 1: Hillary should be like hanged and ship that's her vibe.
Speaker 1: But Jimmy Kimmel, obviously it was just like on the
Speaker 1: heels of our right before Katangi was about to be confirmed,
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. Marjorie Taylor Green came up with this
Speaker 1: tweet basically saying that the three Republicans Murkowski, Collins, and
Speaker 1: Romney who voted to confirm that their pro pedophile and
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel was saying this in his monologue and when
Speaker 1: he read that tweet, he was just like, man, where's
Speaker 1: Will Smith when you need him? Okay, tired fucking joke,
Speaker 1: But that's what he said. And that's what led Marjorie
Speaker 1: Taylor Green to go to the Capitol Police and say
Speaker 1: and announced that she has referred to the Capitol Police
Speaker 1: for threatening violence against a person a member of Congress.
Speaker 1: It's like, that's your whole brand. I'm so tired. I'm
Speaker 1: so tired of so many white people having so backwards takes.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, when it's your take, it's okay, But
Speaker 1: the second it's on the other side, I mean every Yeah,
Speaker 1: the contradictions and hypocrisy, they're they're everywhere, everywhere you look.
Speaker 1: But there's something about this though, too, right where what's
Speaker 1: funny is like the day after the Oscars, Marjorie Taylor Green,
Speaker 1: she she tweeted this about the Chris Chris Rock Willsmith thing.
Speaker 1: He said. I've seen the Will Chris Will Smith Chris
Speaker 1: Rock clip a million times this morning. I have to
Speaker 1: say I appreciate the alpha male response of a husband
Speaker 1: defending it's like which one is it? Which one is it?
Speaker 1: Or is it one Mike because jay Z said, we
Speaker 1: don't know, we don't know, but again, um, there she is.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just really well to see how like
Speaker 1: we're looking at such an openly homophobic, hostile, bigoted gop
Speaker 1: and because it's so normal that we're getting used to
Speaker 1: how um crazy those words are just discriminatory. They are, yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're not just like the thing over and over
Speaker 1: like these people are completely in a time machine and
Speaker 1: ignore them. But they're about to run Congress. So stay tuned, folks.
Speaker 1: Um and then last thing opening before we take a break,
Speaker 1: our last thing trending. Whoops revealed it last thing trending
Speaker 1: Opening day? Take me out to the ball game, y'all?
Speaker 1: Are you a baseball fan? I am not a sports fan, period,
Speaker 1: but baseball is one of the things I will go.
Speaker 1: I think it's the most boring sport to watch, like
Speaker 1: the great day at the ball though, but a great
Speaker 1: day of the ballpark because it's like you don't have
Speaker 1: to really care. You're just out there to like, I
Speaker 1: love a hot dog, like if that's one thing I love,
Speaker 1: so like I love a ballpark dog. I love to
Speaker 1: get a beer, just hang out, you know. And tickets
Speaker 1: are usually relatively cheap. It doesn't matter. You don't have
Speaker 1: to sit in the front here. You can just get
Speaker 1: nosebleed seats and just like, and you're outside. I love
Speaker 1: being outside because I'm from the South, and I love
Speaker 1: being warm outside. So you dot all have a dome
Speaker 1: in Houston. We do, but it's like you open it up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's also just naturally warm outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm just like thinking of the Houston, but
Speaker 1: I'm from Houston, you know. But it is a bunch
Speaker 1: of cheers. My brother and my dad are big big
Speaker 1: Strows fans. I've been to quite a few. I think also,
Speaker 1: as like a Brown kid growing up, tickets are cheap
Speaker 1: and one of them you think like that, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like it's one of the few things my parents
Speaker 1: could take us to do because we didn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of money growing up. So yeah, I have a
Speaker 1: fondness for baseball, but not not an actual like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not putting your Astro's hat on, being like here
Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, I have a Dodger's hat that I
Speaker 1: got with my dad at the Dodgers game, the last
Speaker 1: that was probably the last for baseball game. I keep
Speaker 1: trying to say football. It's a baseball game I was
Speaker 1: at in twenty eighteen and I wear it all the time.
Speaker 1: People like, oh my god, you're from l A. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, you're like, it's my one hat,
Speaker 1: it's my ball cap. Oh you got okay, Well good,
Speaker 1: that's a good choice. And also, yeah, you want to
Speaker 1: wear that at Dodger Stadium because I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: we still hold that really terrible honor or dishonor of
Speaker 1: being like the most hostile ballpark to visit as an
Speaker 1: opposition fan team. Um, and we're just talking about that,
Speaker 1: like you got to know better. I'm sorry how to act,
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the Dodgers, it's just a
Speaker 1: little bit different. And I you should have the right
Speaker 1: to rock represent your team at Dodger Stadium, but it's
Speaker 1: it's just a it's a it's a lot of it's
Speaker 1: a lot of feelings. You're gonna have to work through
Speaker 1: over there. Um, anyway, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back to keep this thing moving, and
Speaker 1: we're back. Next thing is trending is massive blackout in
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, leaving over a million people without power. This
Speaker 1: is we're talking about. Okay, first of all, I'm not
Speaker 1: an expert in Puerto Rico, but I'm I'm somebody who
Speaker 1: reads the news a lot. What I do know is
Speaker 1: that since the hurricane in two thousand seventeen, the damage
Speaker 1: that was done to their electrical grid has yet to
Speaker 1: be addressed. So that's that's like the backdrop to hearing
Speaker 1: like it's not just there's a blackout, is that there's
Speaker 1: been I mean, at this point centuries of neglect, but
Speaker 1: in this very specific one. This is something that has
Speaker 1: been dangling in front of people's phases since and I
Speaker 1: think we're that for most people who are like it's
Speaker 1: a territory, right, it's like it's like it's a modern
Speaker 1: day colony. I, you know, as the resident Puerto rigan
Speaker 1: of this pod, I'm not from the island, but i
Speaker 1: care very deeply and I've been doing a lot of
Speaker 1: work in the past year to really learn about my
Speaker 1: history of the country because you know, I think American
Speaker 1: education systems purposely cloud what Puerto Rico's legal staffies. Within
Speaker 1: the United States, only half of Americans can answer correctly
Speaker 1: whether or not Puerto Ricans are US citizens. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: if it's a territory like that is embarrassing. And even
Speaker 1: if you were born I think after the eighties, like
Speaker 1: your birth certificate isn't valid if you were born in
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico to the United States because it's because of
Speaker 1: some weird like my mom had to get a new
Speaker 1: birth certificate recently. It was a whole thing, Like it's
Speaker 1: just we are second tier citizens to the US, um
Speaker 1: like you're neither from here. They're kind of thing. But
Speaker 1: I will say that this is a problem that the
Speaker 1: United States has been pushing and pushing and pushing. The
Speaker 1: Bandon administration has purposely not really addressed it. They're like, well,
Speaker 1: we're not evil like Trump, so we're not gonna but
Speaker 1: we're not going to really it's on the back burner
Speaker 1: of things that we need to touch on. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it's important to like, if you can, I will,
Speaker 1: you know, got on my way to try to find
Speaker 1: some nonprofits if there are things but it's just really sad,
Speaker 1: it's really embarrassing on the US. Basically was a overnight
Speaker 1: fire and a main power plant um that caused the
Speaker 1: biggest blackout so far this year across the territory. One
Speaker 1: thing to note, I think almost all of the electric
Speaker 1: power system is privatized now because of the colonization of
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, So there is not really a drive to
Speaker 1: fix these because they're not getting government funding from the
Speaker 1: US because of certain tax um you know, what's the word.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, loopholes that the American system is built
Speaker 1: to not have to fund Puerto Rico, which is also
Speaker 1: why it's not a state, and the US will never
Speaker 1: vote for its statehood because then they will have to
Speaker 1: give it money. Well, the first thing they did was
Speaker 1: when they were even trying to legally define what Puerto
Speaker 1: Rico was, they did in a way so that Congress
Speaker 1: could decide what parts of the Constitution even applied to
Speaker 1: Puerto Ricans exactly that they're like, well, let's must say that,
Speaker 1: because if we do it like this, then we can
Speaker 1: essentially make these people like third tier citizens. And when
Speaker 1: you even look at like how citizenship even worked, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: World War One. You need conscripts. Yeah, I guess they
Speaker 1: can be citizens. Like I believe that was the first
Speaker 1: time Puerto Ricans were even offered citizenship after it was
Speaker 1: seated from Spain. Was to get more people to fight
Speaker 1: in World War One. Yes, it was a part of
Speaker 1: the bootstraps program. Um to get Puerto Ricans to the mainland.
Speaker 1: They speak, but as um from this NBC article, they
Speaker 1: say that on average that Puerto Rican citizens pay almost
Speaker 1: twice as much as customers in the US mainland for
Speaker 1: unreliable electricity because it is all privatized. So it's just
Speaker 1: you know, do what you can, like read up on
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican history and you know, try to find some
Speaker 1: causes to donate to to see if we can get
Speaker 1: these Puerto Rican citizens electricity because this is absolutely horrid
Speaker 1: and people need it. Anything that isn't part of the
Speaker 1: contiguous states and you're unfortunately under the governance of the
Speaker 1: United States. It's a bad deal. Um. Like even look
Speaker 1: at Hawaii, um and how that how the story of
Speaker 1: statehood or kidnapping someone's queen and say run your ship
Speaker 1: until you become our you know, place to extract more
Speaker 1: resources and keep this in a virtual state of barely
Speaker 1: any growth unless it's for the tourism sector. I get it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's I think that's another issue that because
Speaker 1: America already has this like severe blindness to its own
Speaker 1: misdeeds that I'm I'm curious to know what it is
Speaker 1: going to take for it to arrive at a moment
Speaker 1: where we're even talking about like these other territories that
Speaker 1: were completely just turning a blind high to why people
Speaker 1: people there are not thriving, not even close. Next thing
Speaker 1: that's trending the weekend. I think we talked about the weekend,
Speaker 1: and yes, because Weekend, the Swedish house Mafia have taken
Speaker 1: over to replace Kanye and Travis Scott to do their headliners.
Speaker 1: And now what's going on. There's problems, there are there
Speaker 1: problems in India. There are problems because they don't want
Speaker 1: to pay the Weekend the price point that they're gonna
Speaker 1: pay Kanye fuck y'all. So he's threatening to pull out
Speaker 1: if they don't give him the check, which they should
Speaker 1: because hey, the Wekend's gonna put on a way better show.
Speaker 1: Yes he I love the Weekend and it's just sucked up.
Speaker 1: It's just it's incredibly if you had the money, you
Speaker 1: do clearly, but they want to pocket it and they're like, well,
Speaker 1: the week is not as big as Kanye, and it's
Speaker 1: like already, like you're not losing. This is part of
Speaker 1: your fucking business. You already planned it, and how dare you?
Speaker 1: Because your whole music festival is about people being horny
Speaker 1: on drugs. Who better than the fucking Weekend? Exactly? Super
Speaker 1: producer Brian already knows who's editing this. He's probably already
Speaker 1: waiting for me to start singing the Weekend, because that's
Speaker 1: what happens when I get passionate talking about the Weekend,
Speaker 1: but like high for this? Who you don't know? What's
Speaker 1: this stuff? I mean if I might buy a ticket
Speaker 1: and they don't want to pay him fucking eight and
Speaker 1: a half mill are they like trying to give him
Speaker 1: like a total fraction of that, like a few million,
Speaker 1: like three million? Yeah, and then poppet the rest. They
Speaker 1: say that the Weekend came in, Yeah, come with somebody
Speaker 1: else from page six says the Weekend came in at
Speaker 1: short notice to take Kanye's top spot. But phil On Shultz,
Speaker 1: who owns coachel Festival through a g Live wanted to
Speaker 1: hold on the Kanye's money and pay the weekend far
Speaker 1: less just a few million. The festival would pocket the
Speaker 1: rat embarrassing each ship man is a bunch of eight
Speaker 1: ship festivals these days. M come to my festival, grown
Speaker 1: folks fest where we will listen to It'll just be
Speaker 1: Smiles and South Star LOOMI d um, it'll be sick.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a really great line up out there.
Speaker 1: Those are two people I do have confirmed. Nina Sky
Speaker 1: will be there. Oh you know what I mean. Um,
Speaker 1: so those are three artists. Get your kids. I need
Speaker 1: to get pumped up for it. And then finally, Ultimatum
Speaker 1: season two is trending. Okay, so we talked about Ultimatum.
Speaker 1: I think we talked about Ultimatum yesterday, Right, it just
Speaker 1: came out. Tell me why I've seen five episodes already. Hell, yes,
Speaker 1: how deep are you an Ultimatum? I'm not deep because
Speaker 1: I had a busy day, so today to laundry, I
Speaker 1: watched it into the into the early morning because I
Speaker 1: couldn't stop because and it's not the best thing I've
Speaker 1: ever seen, But I really I'm sorrying I understand what's happening.
Speaker 1: Because like the thing that I really didn't realize was
Speaker 1: it really is playing in this energetic space when you're
Speaker 1: in a relationship where like ship's not going well, but
Speaker 1: you're still together. But what they're doing is they are
Speaker 1: now weaponizing that to be like, here's your chance to
Speaker 1: fucking cheat I mean or not cheat, not mean not
Speaker 1: because it's an experiment. It's an experience, I'm sorry, experience experience,
Speaker 1: experience experience, and you can watch how people move and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, you were, you were out, you're ready,
Speaker 1: you were with us or not you were one ft Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like like Ray and Zay, they're really interesting. Zay is
Speaker 1: really interesting to me. I like that he's telling all
Speaker 1: the women he's with He's like, I learned so much
Speaker 1: from you, Like you've helped me grow some much. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you game or are you actually growing?
Speaker 1: I don't know because I don't know him well enough
Speaker 1: to know what that baseline is, but it felt he
Speaker 1: said that to two women that he's having sex with,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, yeah, no, that's game, that's absolute game
Speaker 1: because women love intellectual ship. As someone who is a woman, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know why I couldn't. I was such a not
Speaker 1: good at saying ship like that. I'm like, oh, is
Speaker 1: he for real? Like and not really really like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's game, that's absolute game. That is like you're on
Speaker 1: like day to date three already have physical contact, and
Speaker 1: he's like, I just learned something much from you. You're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, wow, I I'm into this. I'm hooked,
Speaker 1: right that should I say to her, majesty, I've been
Speaker 1: with for like eight years. You know, it's like I've
Speaker 1: learned so much. That's facts, And it's like, that's that's
Speaker 1: true because we are too people who have built a
Speaker 1: bond and built it like yeah, yeah, we've went through
Speaker 1: some ship in the last couple of years, versus like
Speaker 1: the second day You're like, man, I feel like I've
Speaker 1: learned so much from you. Man, I like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: the way you give me like to grow, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Ah, so nice to just be able
Speaker 1: to have some growth in like a safe space, and
Speaker 1: you provide me that like the safety to even express myself.
Speaker 1: Although he gets he gets in his emotions, so he
Speaker 1: seems like a health emotionally type healthy fun boy. Maybe,
Speaker 1: um who else do you like on ultimatum? Well, I
Speaker 1: mean I haven't started. I can't wait now. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you even see the first episode? You see the first episode?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Sorry, don't be sorry
Speaker 1: any spoilers. There is this one lady though, who is
Speaker 1: so we'll talk about lever anyway. All that to say
Speaker 1: is Ultimatum is trending because season two was announced with
Speaker 1: an all queer cast, and I think for anybody who
Speaker 1: watches as much reality television as I do or we do,
Speaker 1: it's like, what what the funk took y'all so long?
Speaker 1: You couldn't I know, It's not like trying to shame
Speaker 1: yourself on public television is an inherently hetero trade. Like
Speaker 1: so yeah, got to feel like the queer community, you know,
Speaker 1: makes fun of themselves all the time, like lesbians and
Speaker 1: their you hauling and things like that. So I feel
Speaker 1: like they've deserved it, you know, like I am excited
Speaker 1: to watch. I feel like Netflix has been almost the
Speaker 1: only people on the precipice of that type of entertainment
Speaker 1: because if you watched like Too Hot to Handle for instance,
Speaker 1: like they've had a few bisexual women on the show,
Speaker 1: and then um, I think twenty somethings on Netflix. They
Speaker 1: had a openly bisexual girl on the show, and she's
Speaker 1: like experimenting dating women and men, like she dated men
Speaker 1: cast members, but also like went out in the world
Speaker 1: and dated women. Um So I feel like good for Netflix.
Speaker 1: I'm glad they're finally doing it, and I'm very excited
Speaker 1: to tune in. Yeah, And I mean like I'm more
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like I know that obviously this
Speaker 1: is this is a long time coming book for me
Speaker 1: as a selfish reality television watcher, I've been for like
Speaker 1: for the longest time, like you need more people with
Speaker 1: different experience because I'm tired of seeing the same man
Speaker 1: woman ship play out all the time. Uh, and we
Speaker 1: act like there's not an entire little and a whole
Speaker 1: earth out there. But you know what, I think one
Speaker 1: of the first times I saw it was on Are
Speaker 1: You the one on MTV where they had um a
Speaker 1: few like a couple of bisexual people on in a
Speaker 1: previous season, and to me, I felt like that I
Speaker 1: remember watching me like doing over. I mean, they had
Speaker 1: Tila Tequila. I mean, she's incredibly problematic, but that was
Speaker 1: like my first experience was Shot of Love. Oh, Shot
Speaker 1: of Love. Yeah, Tequila Tila Tequila, the about to be Nazi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she absolutely super problematic, but that was my my first experience,
Speaker 1: so yeah, oh my god. Well, uh just there's there's
Speaker 1: there's lots of good watching ahead with Ultimatum. Again for
Speaker 1: people who don't know, Ultimatum is this show where couples
Speaker 1: that are basically at a make or breakpoint either get
Speaker 1: areator don't go to meet up with other couples. They
Speaker 1: partner swap and live with each other for three weeks,
Speaker 1: then they swapped back to their original partner for three weeks,
Speaker 1: and then decide if they still want to be with them.
Speaker 1: There are people that are already hooking up like almost instantly,
Speaker 1: so I love it. I love it. And also the
Speaker 1: kicker is all of these couples are from Texas and
Speaker 1: they all have not been dating very long. I feel
Speaker 1: like that was like a big point And somebody say,
Speaker 1: that's not a lot long time, but no, but like
Speaker 1: some of them, especially their age, like a lot of them,
Speaker 1: I think most of the couples, I think only one
Speaker 1: person's older than thirty, Like everyone's within like twenty two
Speaker 1: to twenty nine, which is pretty young to be like
Speaker 1: demanding like a wedding ring, especially only dating like a
Speaker 1: year and a half. I have had three three year
Speaker 1: relations and I'm married none of them, so, you know,
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's but also being from Texas,
Speaker 1: this is also a very Texas thing to do, right
Speaker 1: right right, I wonder who I mean? You know this
Speaker 1: is it's a good format, you know, I love to
Speaker 1: see it. But anyway, thank you so much y'all for
Speaker 1: tuning in today. We'll see you tomorrow. We got a
Speaker 1: fucking fantastic episode, stellar episode. Um. We know when we
Speaker 1: have experts on we get to kind of spread our
Speaker 1: wings and just have some really freeforming discussion. It was
Speaker 1: a really it's a real good one, promise you. Um.
Speaker 1: And until then, I'm Miles. That's back Aroundmo's take care
Speaker 1: of each other, take care of yourselves, where your masks,
Speaker 1: get your vaccine. COVID is still out there, Okay, please
Speaker 1: do what you can to keep everybody safe in yourself
Speaker 1: and don't do nothing about any kind of discrimination. Okay,
Speaker 1: until then, we'll see you. Bye.
