Speaker 1: the main thing that people are talking about. Is that
Speaker 1: indignity that I faced. Yeah, yeah, that's kind of the
Speaker 1: main news that you missed, Miles. It's what t DZ
Speaker 1: has been about for the past couple of weeks. I
Speaker 1: gotta gotta. They're doing quadrill now, I suad, what's that quarter?
Speaker 1: That's bad for me? That's because they not only not
Speaker 1: only is it for like you're you're playing wordle on
Speaker 1: four grids and like that. That adds a complexity and
Speaker 1: makes it a little bit more difficult. But then you
Speaker 1: also have like practice games that you can just like
Speaker 1: go and play like so you can just play it
Speaker 1: all day. It's yeah, I the is the one a
Speaker 1: day is sort of good, you know, Yes, the one
Speaker 1: a day of it all, yeahirtle seems life ruining. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to Yeah, it's irresponsible, down right and irresponsible.
Speaker 1: I will not allow it. Nick, are you you play
Speaker 1: word I I do. I like to call it words
Speaker 1: without friends. I think that you know a lot of
Speaker 1: these people will post their scores on the Internet, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a little too much. What I do
Speaker 1: is I I go out and I etched my scores
Speaker 1: into the dirt caked faces of the forgotten. That's what
Speaker 1: I do. Yes, if I'm gonna be obnoxious about it,
Speaker 1: I'm going full throttle, much more curs and uh hunting
Speaker 1: way to share your uh yeah yeah no, I share
Speaker 1: every time I get it get it in two guesses
Speaker 1: an act like that's just what I do every time,
Speaker 1: and usually like with a cocky gift or something them
Speaker 1: like the Jude rolling a strike and saying, who do
Speaker 1: you think you are? I am that it's obnoxious. It's
Speaker 1: the one place where I have cultivated my image to
Speaker 1: be the most obnoxious piece of ship that I can imagine.
Speaker 1: Why are people posting it in five or people are like,
Speaker 1: I'm not that good at it, and I'm telling everybody
Speaker 1: about it. I don't know. People. People have their own strap,
Speaker 1: their own posting needs, and they're all funked up in
Speaker 1: their own kind of way. I don't know, but it's
Speaker 1: not us to trying to figure out. I'm not a
Speaker 1: psycho exactly, you know. I just let them make me
Speaker 1: look good. That's what I'm That's what I'm not the
Speaker 1: only post If I don't get it, there you go.
Speaker 1: I've definitely seen that, all right, Nick, And that we're
Speaker 1: we're gonna stop that. I know people like word all
Speaker 1: has to be so annoying to people who just like
Speaker 1: aren't into it, don't give a shit about it, and
Speaker 1: hearing about it. Yeah, very convincing. That was very convincing.
Speaker 1: All Right, we are gonna get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment, Nick. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of things that we're talking
Speaker 1: about today is their Trump's fatigue on the right. We
Speaker 1: were gonna ask, We're gonna look at some poles. We're
Speaker 1: gonna say, maybe I don't know who, who's to say.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the Super Bowl, l A is
Speaker 1: the World champs and the world. They beat the rest
Speaker 1: of the world. Yeah, I mean, you know who who
Speaker 1: from Europe's coming over and beating l A at American football.
Speaker 1: And it was wild because like they they put up
Speaker 1: that celebration video with all the friends just acting totally
Speaker 1: normally and their celebration shirts, their championship shirts after they won,
Speaker 1: and like it was everything that I have been doing
Speaker 1: since they won, just like you know, out in the
Speaker 1: park with some red cups. Last thing uproariously at nothing
Speaker 1: in l a Rams World Champion t shirt. Anyways, l
Speaker 1: A does not appear to give a ship like using
Speaker 1: using the fireworks that happened after the Dodgers won and
Speaker 1: after the Lakers won titles, and then last night, I
Speaker 1: mean I went outside a few times after after the
Speaker 1: Dodgers won. It was NonStop, like like every two seconds. Conservatively,
Speaker 1: last night, I did not hear a single firework. I
Speaker 1: preemptively gave my dog like medicine that helps the anxiety
Speaker 1: for the fireworks because I was, man, I'm like, this
Speaker 1: ship might go and then I was like, come on.
Speaker 1: I mean, at the same time, I'm like one of
Speaker 1: these people like fun Stan Crony, the Rams gone all
Speaker 1: over the place, love my city, but stand cronky. I
Speaker 1: got my own cow flim and yeah I'm St. Louis,
Speaker 1: so cronkey is uh, you know, bad news for me.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get any joy out of last night, right right? Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sure for yeah, especially if i'd imagine for St.
Speaker 1: Louis that people of St. Louis to like this fucking yeah. Anyways,
Speaker 1: we'll mostly talk about the halftime show, which was great
Speaker 1: for the elder millennial. And I don't know, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna apologize for thinking that show was great. You don't
Speaker 1: have to be old to think that ship was great.
Speaker 1: That was great. I just love that. Were they like,
Speaker 1: were that were the consumer group, but they're like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we gotta make sure these motherfucker's tune in so people
Speaker 1: get some relevant acts in front of them. I know.
Speaker 1: But everybody seemed to be enjoying it apologetically. Like on Twitter,
Speaker 1: everyone was like, and now I know how old I
Speaker 1: am because like the Super Bowl halftime shows finally for me, Yeah,
Speaker 1: excelt we enjoy it. Fuck it. Yeah, no, I'm embracing it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk about some reactions. Candice Owes on
Speaker 1: board Charlie Kirk maybe on board, I don't know. He
Speaker 1: said it was sexual anarchy, which I was like, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like I mean maybe from a impressionistic read like
Speaker 1: that's a fun thing. But uh, he don't. He seemed
Speaker 1: to be mad about it. So we'll talk about all that,
Speaker 1: all that plenty more. But first Nick, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. I Uh, this wortle thing, uh
Speaker 1: is something I was thinking about last night. I was
Speaker 1: coming home from a Super Bowl party. My brain was
Speaker 1: influenced by the festivities and this, you know, the some
Speaker 1: of the libations that I had had, and I just
Speaker 1: started singing Cameos wortle in my head. And so then
Speaker 1: I got home. In my search history, I looked up
Speaker 1: Cameo and I read about Cameo for a while. And
Speaker 1: the video for word up is pretty great because he
Speaker 1: Cameos trying someone's trying to arrest Cameo and they and
Speaker 1: then but then Cameo dances his way out of it,
Speaker 1: as as what happens in a lot of these music videos.
Speaker 1: They just sing and danced their way out of it,
Speaker 1: and it's not quite. It's not quite clear what the
Speaker 1: charges are against Cameo. Yeah, and then h and at
Speaker 1: the very end, the guy trying to arrest he winds
Speaker 1: up getting handcuffed, and there's no real explanation of any
Speaker 1: of the I would like to see a law in
Speaker 1: order based on this video, Like there's some details missing.
Speaker 1: I want to see the court trial after the video out.
Speaker 1: But I think I've been coming across like musicians lately,
Speaker 1: and I just go, was that a guy? Was that
Speaker 1: a thing? Was that? Uh? And and and watching the
Speaker 1: video and being like because Cameyo, I guess was like
Speaker 1: a whole group of like fourteen people or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: started off like sprawling, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait,
Speaker 1: so in the video, is there like an inciting incident,
Speaker 1: Like do we understand what the crime was that Cameo
Speaker 1: was getting hemmed up for. They just we just know
Speaker 1: they're going after them and they can just word their
Speaker 1: way up out of there. Yeah, they're they're wording there
Speaker 1: these wording is wording his way up out of it.
Speaker 1: And uh, he said come out with his word up now.
Speaker 1: He there was like an opening thing where he was like, alright, Camby,
Speaker 1: we have the place surrounded, there's nothing else you can do.
Speaker 1: And then and then when he when he comes out
Speaker 1: with his group and they start singing. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: in screenwriting they say start in the middle, but I
Speaker 1: do think you need to back up a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't just start in the medal, right,
Speaker 1: but I have some context of what's going on. I
Speaker 1: remember playing that in our marching band, like in high school,
Speaker 1: and at first I didn't I knew we were playing
Speaker 1: a song called word Up, but the way it was
Speaker 1: all like arranged, it didn't sound like the song to me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what the funk are we playing?
Speaker 1: And then I was like, wait, we're playing the word
Speaker 1: up like damn you, because yeah, it was not it
Speaker 1: was not as funky as that one to just like
Speaker 1: a big old brass band just playing a random notes
Speaker 1: were they was Cameo the first person to wave his
Speaker 1: hands in the air, as if he was verily indifferent
Speaker 1: about it, about whether people cared or not. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that seems like low hanging fruit, you know,
Speaker 1: like rapper wise. Yeah, someone had to be the first
Speaker 1: person to say it, though, I mean, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's it's God, that's that's a real deep dive that
Speaker 1: we need. Who truly asked the crowd to put their
Speaker 1: hands in the air and wave them like they just
Speaker 1: don't care. Yeah, a lot of people were caring too much,
Speaker 1: you know, they're putting too much thought into their hands
Speaker 1: waving around right. Yeah, And then they had they put
Speaker 1: an end of that. In the nineties there was a
Speaker 1: global record scratch sound and everybody went from being uptight,
Speaker 1: people with their collars buttoned all the way up in
Speaker 1: the little ties and horn rim glasses too. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: hands that you don't care, as if that don't care
Speaker 1: what something you think is overrated? I think baby pictures,
Speaker 1: you know, I was, yeah, you know, because you show
Speaker 1: me a baby picture and I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is your baby. I don't know if you found
Speaker 1: this picture. You know you have you if you have
Speaker 1: the actual baby. But you know, I'll be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: well now we're onto something. This is something I can
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, connect, because if the baby's smiling
Speaker 1: in the picture, I don't know. If the baby is smiling, well,
Speaker 1: it's not smiling at me. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: this baby likes me, I can't interact with the baby.
Speaker 1: I can't get to know the baby. I don't know
Speaker 1: what this baby is all about. It might have views
Speaker 1: that are different than mine that I disagree with, you know,
Speaker 1: be about things that I'm against. And I just think
Speaker 1: it's sort of a superficial, you know, sort of thing
Speaker 1: to show me. And then you asked me to hold
Speaker 1: the picture of the baby. That's not I don't even
Speaker 1: know why people don't just look at hold the yet
Speaker 1: so different let me get your picture holding the baby
Speaker 1: picture and then yeah, yeah, that's the whole thing. Are
Speaker 1: you talking about other people's baby, like being like check
Speaker 1: out my baby or something like check out this picture
Speaker 1: of me as a little fucking type huh oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I think if that, if it's a picture of yourself
Speaker 1: as the baby, then I can be like I can
Speaker 1: look into its eyes and be like these are your eyes?
Speaker 1: You know I can I get I get that. But
Speaker 1: if it's just a picture of your baby, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't don't give a shit. Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I like to do. Sometimes I like to go they'll
Speaker 1: show me a pictures say this, you go, oh, send
Speaker 1: me that, and they get weirded out by that. You know,
Speaker 1: people show you pictures of their kids. It's great, send
Speaker 1: me those. You just end it right there. They're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, don't that's a good way to put
Speaker 1: people off from ever showing you. Yeah, they never show you.
Speaker 1: You know what, Hold on me? Can you air drop me?
Speaker 1: That is that live picture? Yeah, the live version though,
Speaker 1: because I like to see a little the movement a
Speaker 1: little bit. Oh man. It was like a million pictures
Speaker 1: and one I I do so when people ask you
Speaker 1: to hold the baby, though, I and uh, because I've
Speaker 1: been around a lot more babies this past year. Everyone
Speaker 1: had these babies, past pandemic babies, and uh. And you know,
Speaker 1: I just the risk reward for holding babies wildly, you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's I get a little bit of joy out
Speaker 1: of holding the baby that I probably don't. I don't
Speaker 1: remember most of the babies I held, you know, but
Speaker 1: if if I dropped the baby, everyone's sad forever. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I feel like the risk reward is wildly uneven.
Speaker 1: Do you have a do you have like a just
Speaker 1: terrible holding style, like very precarious armlock? Yeah, familiar because
Speaker 1: I'm using are you're supposed to a palm, a baby
Speaker 1: head like a basketball, because like you're the number one
Speaker 1: draft pick out, like swam Sull. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is underrated? Nick? Disc golf started playing a lot
Speaker 1: of frisbee golf golf. Yeah, I started playing a bunch.
Speaker 1: I I played a bunch of high school college and
Speaker 1: then uh and pandemic happened and there was nowhere else
Speaker 1: to go and it really blew up. But I do
Speaker 1: think that there's like this hate for it still because
Speaker 1: when I say it to people, I get a lot
Speaker 1: of eye rolls. I get a lot of really it
Speaker 1: kills me people. So ESPN two started covering it at
Speaker 1: least this this year past year, and I saw people
Speaker 1: online ragging on it. Oh this isn't a sport. I
Speaker 1: just loved it. Like the same guys that will like
Speaker 1: rag for disc golf beyond ESPN two are the same
Speaker 1: guys that will play you know, cornhole bag for three
Speaker 1: weddings in a row. You know, like they love throwing
Speaker 1: things in a thing, but if someone else is into it,
Speaker 1: they're like, what how do you even get? All right? Also,
Speaker 1: throwing a disk can be a very frustrating affair. Like
Speaker 1: I'm one of the most wildly inconsistent heavers of the
Speaker 1: disc I think I've ever met. Like, there are times
Speaker 1: I could fucking like put it like on a baby's
Speaker 1: head from like two dred yards away just gently landed.
Speaker 1: Other times it's like fucking going behind me. I like,
Speaker 1: where have I gone wrong? So I remember the one
Speaker 1: time I tried disc golf, I had like the best
Speaker 1: and worst time, Whereas like the times I could actually
Speaker 1: get it that first throw, like when you're teeing off, yeah,
Speaker 1: it feels good. Other times you're so bad you're like
Speaker 1: met fuck. It's it is very similar to golf, where
Speaker 1: it's frustrating a lot, but when you when you nail it,
Speaker 1: you know, when you when it comes out of your
Speaker 1: hand perfectly and it goes an extra hundred feet or
Speaker 1: goes you're just like I'm understanding it. Now, are the
Speaker 1: golf the disc golf courses like owned operated as disc
Speaker 1: golf courses? Like? Is that? How does that work? They're
Speaker 1: normally in in parks, you know, in a sort of
Speaker 1: separate area of the park designed for that. It's free,
Speaker 1: which is amazing. Uh, you know they have the ones
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles there's like Kenneth Han Park, and then
Speaker 1: there's uh was oak out in Pasadena. They have like
Speaker 1: the first frisbee golf course in the world is out there,
Speaker 1: Oh really by JPL. Yes, yes, yeah, that's where they
Speaker 1: learned everything about propulsion. Yeah yeah, dude. Also an e
Speaker 1: P a super fun site because it's just dumping a
Speaker 1: bunch of like experimental fuels out there too. Like I
Speaker 1: started growing a tail in the past year. Yes, the
Speaker 1: radioactive rocket nuclear things and never been more thought right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but like they're not like cord like a golf course
Speaker 1: for instance, is you're like fenced off, nobody's allowed on
Speaker 1: unless you pay two thousand dollars a year, like they
Speaker 1: are these disc golf courses, Like you see people Sometimes
Speaker 1: you get to the course and there's people blissfully unaware
Speaker 1: of what's happening around. Yeah. I've seen lovers being lovers
Speaker 1: in between on the fairway and I'm kind of like,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's a giant park. You gotta
Speaker 1: you don't see what's happening around you, you know. I
Speaker 1: don't know if people are like mad about it or
Speaker 1: if they're just I don't know, but they're like I've
Speaker 1: seen yeah, like just full picnics in the and you
Speaker 1: just kind of like, well, I guess I'm not not
Speaker 1: gonna play this whole. But then, like I have one guy,
Speaker 1: I threw the disk and he was with his uh,
Speaker 1: you know girlfriend, They're smooching, and then uh, he picks
Speaker 1: up the disc and walked it back to me and
Speaker 1: handed it to me, and I just wondered what he thought.
Speaker 1: I was doing what they think that iliest boy in
Speaker 1: the world and playing frisbee by myself, hoping that he'll
Speaker 1: be your friend. Hey, sport, where's your dad's stake in Germany? Hey,
Speaker 1: he'll be back soon. He'll be back soon. He says,
Speaker 1: he's gonna bring me a give Ramstein's my favorite air
Speaker 1: force base and band that. I think that's an underrated
Speaker 1: thing about disc golf over golf is that throwing the
Speaker 1: thing usually won't kill somebody if they happen to be
Speaker 1: like wandering across the course and uh, nobody's I don't know.
Speaker 1: I actually haven't seen you throw, so maybe like people
Speaker 1: are at risk of being beheaded, But oh, I think
Speaker 1: these things could it could whack you pretty good, some
Speaker 1: of them, I think so, especially some of the guys
Speaker 1: who could throw these drivers have a little more of
Speaker 1: a edge on the on the end, you know, But yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: some people just just blissful unaware through. Yeah, did you
Speaker 1: ever start like learning new techniques to throw the disc
Speaker 1: nick because you're getting super into it, like the X step,
Speaker 1: like for that long range drive. I played for like
Speaker 1: twenty years, I'd say, and then I didn't get any better,
Speaker 1: no matter how much weed I smoked, it didn't get
Speaker 1: any better. And then uh, and then I like I
Speaker 1: kind of played at the beginning of the pandemic. I
Speaker 1: was like, Man, this isn't fun. I suck at this
Speaker 1: and I haven't gotten any better. I think the draw
Speaker 1: to activities as you get better at it, and you're
Speaker 1: always the best I've ever been, so you want to
Speaker 1: keep going. And then I watched a YouTube video and
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, yeah, you have to like reach
Speaker 1: back and you know, and swivel your hips and you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: get a little X step in there. And and then
Speaker 1: I threw like way farther and it became a new
Speaker 1: way to play. I knew more fun because I got
Speaker 1: better at it. And it's amazing that YouTube. You could
Speaker 1: just watched YouTube and like, I know how to do this.
Speaker 1: Thing now that I could have learned the entire time
Speaker 1: I was doing it. Yeah, I think that's underrated. Like
Speaker 1: in terms of like basketball, I think people like kids
Speaker 1: are getting better at basketball because of YouTube, Like you
Speaker 1: just can NonStop see like all the greatest things anyone's
Speaker 1: ever done on a on a basketball court, like, and
Speaker 1: I mean that's good for the game. I feel this
Speaker 1: is like one shitty VHS tape that that's Jefferson over
Speaker 1: in the eighties. Yeah, I had dazzling dunks and basketball bloopers,
Speaker 1: and let's say my game was more influenced by the
Speaker 1: bloopers than there was so many bloopers back that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if people just got better at sports it was,
Speaker 1: but there was just I just feel like balls were
Speaker 1: always bouncing off people's heads and going in and hearts
Speaker 1: of any stuff. Yeah, alright, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and uh talk about Trump. And
Speaker 1: we're back and so you know, we're kind of at
Speaker 1: a in between stage, see him, what's gonna happen. We
Speaker 1: we got the mid terms coming up and then uh
Speaker 1: probably straight into the Republican primaries right to see who's
Speaker 1: gonna take on Joe Biden fighting Joe, and I think
Speaker 1: a lot I've always assumed it was gonna be Trump, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think most people have because he's been saying it
Speaker 1: and everyone and I think everyone's nightmares that and we're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're all fucked. Most of my night where nightmares come
Speaker 1: to pass, So it'll be Trump. Somebody introduced him as president,
Speaker 1: he said, so he's you don't want to call your
Speaker 1: shots too early there, Donald, But yeah, they're like this
Speaker 1: kind of story though about the fatigue, I think has
Speaker 1: been something. It's it's been happening since we saw the
Speaker 1: like the entire GOP just capitulate and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: whatever you want Trump whatever. People are like, oh, it
Speaker 1: depends on what I'm gonna have to swing the other
Speaker 1: way because you know, politics is still a game of egos.
Speaker 1: But it does seem I don't know, like over the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, we've started to see more and more,
Speaker 1: you know, indicators that feel a little more substantial in
Speaker 1: terms of like that the mood is more outwardly kind
Speaker 1: of like I don't know, yeah, maybe that guy's my dad.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like's not sort of the same before
Speaker 1: it's like, yes, daddy, but now it's like the step
Speaker 1: kid energy. And yeah, we've seen things like a lot
Speaker 1: of the old school goop guard describing January six as
Speaker 1: a violent insurrection and that it shouldn't have happened, and
Speaker 1: its like is bad, and it was like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck what are they saying? They're not that's against their
Speaker 1: like agreed upon programming, like we're where what what what
Speaker 1: exactly is happening. On top of that, there's also stories
Speaker 1: about how our favorite litill faced fascist, Mitch McConnell, has
Speaker 1: like a counter recruitment program to find people to go
Speaker 1: up against like trump ist picks, or at the very least,
Speaker 1: people who aren't going to feel beholden to Trump when
Speaker 1: they're like running for office or eventually get into office,
Speaker 1: to try and see like if they can kind of
Speaker 1: wrestle some kind of power back. But then, like this
Speaker 1: sounds getting even louder. Over the weekend, Washington Post publishing
Speaker 1: a story that's talking about how like Republican leadership is
Speaker 1: like they're having more closed door meetings where they are
Speaker 1: out loud beginning to question like what Trump's you know, what,
Speaker 1: what the what the benefit is of having Trump lead things?
Speaker 1: And that if everyone needs to be listening to what
Speaker 1: he's doing, or it's a losing strategy to keep crying
Speaker 1: about the election because you know, they don't they're not
Speaker 1: sure that's actually the best strategy. When you couple that
Speaker 1: with like things out of the r NC calling January
Speaker 1: six legitimate political discourse, so you know those are that's
Speaker 1: kind of like everything that's swirling around now that's a
Speaker 1: little bit different than before. But I think more than that,
Speaker 1: like the question is more about, like are they ideating
Speaker 1: on how to close Pandora's box, Because whether or not
Speaker 1: you think Trump's the leader or you can make moves
Speaker 1: to sort of distance yourselves from him, the fact remains
Speaker 1: that he has created a whole new evolution within the
Speaker 1: party that they're still gonna have to contend with. No
Speaker 1: matter if they'd be like, well, he's not like we're
Speaker 1: not gonna listen to him anymore. That's supporters are still
Speaker 1: on a very different media diet, right. You can't you
Speaker 1: can't write him off ever, you know, I mean, even
Speaker 1: though I feel like sort of the sequel is never
Speaker 1: as good as the original, and uh, and sometimes people
Speaker 1: still think people will enjoy things that were popular a
Speaker 1: long time ago, and uh, it's it's amazing how popularity fades.
Speaker 1: There's no there's no comic that's been like great forever.
Speaker 1: There's no band that's been like the top band forever.
Speaker 1: I heard so on the other day there is a
Speaker 1: story about how they didn't know who Madonna was, and
Speaker 1: it's crazy. No matter, just things have their moment, and
Speaker 1: that sort of like makes me feel like his moment
Speaker 1: is past and it's time to find a new moment.
Speaker 1: And I think that party might sort of like understand that.
Speaker 1: It's also interesting, though, that this Trump fatigue that you
Speaker 1: talk about, I think works both ways, because like I'm
Speaker 1: fatigued of the you know, all these like documents and
Speaker 1: papers that they're finding about him allegedly blushing down the
Speaker 1: toilet and all this kind of stuff. I have a
Speaker 1: hard time caring. And I know that I should, you know,
Speaker 1: I know that I should, but I've just been listening
Speaker 1: to everything he's done for so long that even though
Speaker 1: like this is the insurrection is like, you know, arguably
Speaker 1: one of the most serious things that he's been a
Speaker 1: part of, you know, and all this January six stuff,
Speaker 1: I'm getting fatigued, you know, like investing myself into this
Speaker 1: and seeing if, oh, do they have enough to charge
Speaker 1: him and they have enough to all that stuff, And
Speaker 1: I think that's a I shame on me. I get
Speaker 1: shame on me, but I'm I'm a little fatigued on
Speaker 1: on that kind of stuff too. And I'm curious how
Speaker 1: that will lend itself to things coming up as well.
Speaker 1: We will a portion of the population forget how serious
Speaker 1: these sort of things are that he did, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, I mean we've talked before about how that
Speaker 1: happened in the Nazi Germany. That like, when Hitler was
Speaker 1: first coming on the scene, he was from page news,
Speaker 1: but by the time he actually took power, it was like, no,
Speaker 1: nobody was really talking about him on a daily, day
Speaker 1: to day basis because they're just fucking tired of it.
Speaker 1: And so it's like they wear you down, You're less
Speaker 1: interested because everything's already been said about the thing. And
Speaker 1: that that was at a time when they were like,
Speaker 1: you know, only a handful of newspapers and you know,
Speaker 1: there weren't a billion podcasts. So yeah, I do think
Speaker 1: that's a that's a real danger, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's also polling that says it's like things have reversed.
Speaker 1: Where people used to be more likely to be more
Speaker 1: supportive of Trump than the Republican Party. Now it's like flipped.
Speaker 1: But I completely inverted, completely inverted. I don't know. The
Speaker 1: polling has just never made me feel better after after
Speaker 1: when the polling was like, this is going to be
Speaker 1: the biggest wipe out in the history of electoral politics.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's and anyone, like I just feel like
Speaker 1: they haven't quite fixed that yet, because that was again
Speaker 1: supposed to be the deal with Biden and it was
Speaker 1: a squeaker Yeah, yeah, yeah, they have they haven't fixed it,
Speaker 1: you know. I think I think Trump is a lesson
Speaker 1: and if you if you really want to get away
Speaker 1: with crime, the key is to do as much crime
Speaker 1: as possible, do do as many bad things as possible.
Speaker 1: Are be a be a proxy of bad things where
Speaker 1: you didn't really do you know, you were just far
Speaker 1: enough away from it that you're connected to it, but
Speaker 1: nobody can pin anything on you. And do that enough
Speaker 1: times so that when you really are guilty of something,
Speaker 1: you've been accused of so many things so many times
Speaker 1: that people don't put a lot of weight to it.
Speaker 1: I think this is the Charlie Sheen model. You know,
Speaker 1: I think this is like, you know, there's people who
Speaker 1: have just done so many things you can't even remember
Speaker 1: what they actually did, and they sort of get to
Speaker 1: get away with all this stuff. But it is interesting
Speaker 1: McConnell sort of speaking up, you know, on behalf of
Speaker 1: the two Republicans that sort of are on the you know,
Speaker 1: January sixth committee is interesting. It's it's nice to see
Speaker 1: that there's some sort of conscious even if it's I
Speaker 1: don't know what what is motivated by Yeah, that's like that.
Speaker 1: It's it's to not be infuriated by him for one second,
Speaker 1: was nice, right, Yeah. And you know, if you ask
Speaker 1: him about this, like, hey, man, the reports say, like
Speaker 1: you you might you're you're losing your grip a little
Speaker 1: bit on the party. Trump very certainly came out to
Speaker 1: say that's not the case, because of course he doesn't
Speaker 1: live in any reality where he's not number one god king.
Speaker 1: But he said, quote, I am almost unblemished in the
Speaker 1: victory count and it's okay, sure, I like that. And
Speaker 1: it's considered by the real polsters to be the strongest
Speaker 1: endorsement in US political history. Interesting goes on to say quote,
Speaker 1: there are plenty of existing politicians who wouldn't be in
Speaker 1: power now where it not for my endorsement, Like the
Speaker 1: old crow just in a parenthetical yelling at the old
Speaker 1: um like the old crow, Oh yeah, Mitch McConnell. You know,
Speaker 1: he called he's name, and then he goes out and
Speaker 1: say the fake news is everything within their power to
Speaker 1: diminish and be little. But the people know and the
Speaker 1: politicians seeking the capital e endorsement. Really no, I mean,
Speaker 1: you've got more people those saying like I should, I'd run,
Speaker 1: so people aren't necessarily shook to their corners to not
Speaker 1: even begin to But I don't know, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, he's gonna start doing his like stupid
Speaker 1: dancing and yelling racist ship and I have a feeling
Speaker 1: pole be like, yes, this is an outrage, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. I feel like, you know, Trump's rise
Speaker 1: kind of came out of this like reaction to Obama
Speaker 1: getting elected president, right, and so that he and then
Speaker 1: all these people were got, you know, and so he's
Speaker 1: sort of it was the voice of this, like I think,
Speaker 1: a negative reaction. And but but now it's all vaccine mandates,
Speaker 1: it's all you know, masks and and and Trump's not
Speaker 1: really a huge part of that conversation. It's more like
Speaker 1: De Santis and and and glenn yn can governor Virginia
Speaker 1: to Santis Florida. And I feel like if these guys
Speaker 1: are sort of now the voice of all these people,
Speaker 1: you know, it makes them a lot more viable candidates,
Speaker 1: you know, than than Trump is just sort of this mascot.
Speaker 1: You know. The fact that Trump came out and said
Speaker 1: get a vaccine that, yeah, that like divided his base.
Speaker 1: You know, he's if he's gonna be a populist president,
Speaker 1: he can't you know, he can't like you gotta say
Speaker 1: what they want to hear. Uh, you know, it's he
Speaker 1: kind of bail on his own sort of again. I
Speaker 1: appreciated that he did, you know, but if the next
Speaker 1: candidate for the Republicans to somebody that's the voice of
Speaker 1: these people that are mad, I don't know if Trump
Speaker 1: still their voice. He can't let himself not take credit
Speaker 1: for the vaccine. I think that like that is the
Speaker 1: that could be his fatal flaw. Like that is kind
Speaker 1: of the most hopeful I've been that he's not going
Speaker 1: to come back with like a deadlier second wave of
Speaker 1: Trump is um is that he can't stop like taking
Speaker 1: credit for the vaccine, and that will therefore because that
Speaker 1: seems to I I do think though, that like that
Speaker 1: becomes less and less the main like a a salient
Speaker 1: point for the right wing, because if the pandemic becomes
Speaker 1: less and less like central to everyday life, then like
Speaker 1: they go back to their old stand by racism and
Speaker 1: Trump's Trump's like you know, start salivating, and we're in trouble.
Speaker 1: I also just feel like we're still our society and
Speaker 1: media ecosystem is still constructed in such a way that narcissism,
Speaker 1: like especially like just malignant monomaniacal narcissism the way that
Speaker 1: like Trump has it is still the cheak code for
Speaker 1: our society, like the you know, as as long as
Speaker 1: people like Jake, Paul and Trump and Kanye are still
Speaker 1: able to just like dominate just with like pure narcissistic
Speaker 1: instincts just dominate mainstream discourse, I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: narcissism finds a way in modern America. It's I don't
Speaker 1: want to jump to another topic, but even seeing some
Speaker 1: of the reactions to the Super Bowl halftime show yesterday,
Speaker 1: It was very disappointing, and it felt that, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of what propelled Trump to you know,
Speaker 1: the top is still very prevalent as far as ignorance goes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was sexual anarchy. I mean, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll we'll come right back and talk about
Speaker 1: that halftime show. Edward Back and Nick. It sounds like
Speaker 1: you went to a Super Bowl party. Yes, nice, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh that sound cool. I hadn't been to one for years.
Speaker 1: What are those like? Like a bunch of friends, probably
Speaker 1: like having pizza and stuff. And Bruce betting on squares
Speaker 1: he did the squares, Mr Squares. Those are fun, pretty fun.
Speaker 1: I made three dips for just myself. It was very sad.
Speaker 1: What did you make? I did, uh, homemade caeso. I
Speaker 1: made homemade Waca mole. And I just am throwing the
Speaker 1: homemade in there because I'm just still so amazed. I
Speaker 1: think it's obvious that I from the premise that it's homemade,
Speaker 1: but that's how excited I am about it. And then
Speaker 1: I had made a spinach on a choke, oh ship,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't terrible. So do you ever do queso
Speaker 1: with breakfast sausage? In it. No, oh man, he's TechEd.
Speaker 1: My friends from Texas showed me that ship years ago.
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you? I was at a
Speaker 1: super Bowl party they were I'm like, what the funk
Speaker 1: is this? They're like wall Vita Rotel and crumbled up
Speaker 1: breakfast sausage and that ship. Oh r, I p all
Speaker 1: of your organs. You know it's because you know, a
Speaker 1: good gravy's got some sausage chunks in it, and maybe
Speaker 1: we know we need to put more sausage chunks in
Speaker 1: our lives. Just yeah, So Miles, it sounds like you
Speaker 1: didn't watch, but you did tune in for the halftime show.
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Yeah? I the only the only because
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about about the NFL aside from
Speaker 1: the teams that were in it. And then in my
Speaker 1: mind I was like, oh, should I make like a
Speaker 1: Cincinnati chili to celebrate this, because that's like a regional
Speaker 1: food I'd like to eat. But no, I I definitely
Speaker 1: waited for that. I basically saw after the halftime show.
Speaker 1: I had it on passively and I was like, oh, interesting, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so we were excited for the halftime show right when
Speaker 1: we announced it. It lived up to my excitement I was,
Speaker 1: I mean, I was. I wish there was more Kendrick.
Speaker 1: I wish it was. Yeah, I wish there was more Kendrick.
Speaker 1: That's all. That would be my only note. But otherwise
Speaker 1: it ruled um. When Kendrick came on, I got emotional. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: Her Majesty was looking at me. She's like, yo, you
Speaker 1: are right. When I heard all it's my life and
Speaker 1: I was like, he even do all right this right now?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I haven't heard Kendrick. We needed you,
Speaker 1: We needed to hear from you. And she saw a
Speaker 1: single tear come down my cheek and I like, wipe
Speaker 1: that ship away, and I was like I just needed
Speaker 1: to see him. But yeah, it was. It was great.
Speaker 1: Everything was super great. Man. I mean, I wish they
Speaker 1: gave Mary Jason more time to like, I like, there's
Speaker 1: something that there could have been a little more balanced
Speaker 1: everything like I didn't. I would have done for more
Speaker 1: Mary j and less fifty cent like I didn't. I
Speaker 1: could have done more Mary j and Kendrick and less.
Speaker 1: Yeah do him rapping. He was. I was out of
Speaker 1: breath watching him. I was worried about him recovering from that.
Speaker 1: Upside down stunt because oh yeah, he was fucked up
Speaker 1: when something and he sounded like rhn de Santis when
Speaker 1: he was trying to hide his COVID. That like stan
Speaker 1: chera out here Trump's friend who died anyways. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so I mean it seemed pretty universal among the saying
Speaker 1: like that was a good halftime show, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: for a second it was so good that I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: are the halftime shows good? And I just forgot or
Speaker 1: haven't watched in a long time because I feel like
Speaker 1: I always changed the channel or went out, so I
Speaker 1: don't think I ever watched, and i'd see something about
Speaker 1: a Katy Perry shark or something later on. And I
Speaker 1: I have images of Aerosmith and run DMC skipping together
Speaker 1: and being very awkward and and like when two different
Speaker 1: groups have their backs guitar o, you know, doing that
Speaker 1: singling or they lane and sing and my guitar and
Speaker 1: it's like they're mad different justin timber Lake does half
Speaker 1: of a lyric and then that guy it just it
Speaker 1: does it. But this was great to see everybody have
Speaker 1: their own moment and uh, and it didn't feel like forced.
Speaker 1: It was they all go together. It was you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: and there was no sharks. It was like such a
Speaker 1: West Coast affair though. Yeah, my other note more sharks
Speaker 1: more you wanted more sharks. Yeah, people love the shark
Speaker 1: and they hated the shark. I think underrated at this point.
Speaker 1: That was wild, just so maximalist and so like in
Speaker 1: the in the right lane for the Super Bowl. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so this one of the best, like up there with
Speaker 1: Prince two things people are talking about in the aftermath.
Speaker 1: Eminem was supposedly not supposed to kneel, according to the
Speaker 1: Like I think it's his side is saying that they
Speaker 1: told him he wasn't allowed to kneel, and he still kneeled.
Speaker 1: Definitely seem that way from the emer work, where like
Speaker 1: they whipped away from him when he kneeled. But then
Speaker 1: I couldn't couldn't really avoid it because he was kneeling
Speaker 1: next to Dre as he was playing the piano, which
Speaker 1: I think everyone's like, whoa Dre is playing the piano?
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. But they also did not let
Speaker 1: Kendrick like say, the part of all right that is
Speaker 1: kind of the the key part that's kind of thee
Speaker 1: and we hate Pope po Yeah. One this kills dead,
Speaker 1: and I mean, yeah that I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people were talking comparatively, right because Dre and still Dre said,
Speaker 1: you know, still ain't got love for police, and they're like,
Speaker 1: and he did say that line, So people were like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, there there is that part. And I guess
Speaker 1: it's less than that they hate Poppo. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that's the NFL. I couldn't. I was even surprised
Speaker 1: Dre even said still I got love for police, and
Speaker 1: and it's also along with that too. As as much
Speaker 1: as like the end fels like, no, we never said
Speaker 1: we never told Eminem to not do that. That feels
Speaker 1: like a very pr thing to be, like, don't fucking
Speaker 1: say we told him not to like the white guy Neil.
Speaker 1: That's like the they'll black ball you from the league
Speaker 1: completely if you know you're Colin Kaepernick, but they let
Speaker 1: Eminem Neil also feels weird to me. Yeah, well, you
Speaker 1: know that's that's the NFL for you, focus right, like
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a it's a carnival of all
Speaker 1: kinds of contradictions. But yeah, I am glad to see that.
Speaker 1: My prediction of mass crip walking choreograph crip walking. As
Speaker 1: I predicted, that did come to pass, and it looked
Speaker 1: so cool. It was, although not in the way that
Speaker 1: I thought we would be like a bunch of like kids,
Speaker 1: like volunteer kids, like sea walking kids and see Jean jackets.
Speaker 1: But you know again, because everything is about exploitation. Important
Speaker 1: to note, Uh, those dancers, they don't get paid for
Speaker 1: the halftime show, but they get paid in exposure because
Speaker 1: their careers are going to take off. If you pause
Speaker 1: this one wide shot, I'm this little speck in the
Speaker 1: corn I saw you there are from the right. That's
Speaker 1: amazing that they don't get paid, Like, how how is
Speaker 1: that even justified internally? Like in the one guy's ticket,
Speaker 1: could could give them all a hundred bucks, you know,
Speaker 1: and give them drink tickets that they can at least
Speaker 1: get a beer at the concession stand, you know exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but no, that's not happen. They give them drink tickets,
Speaker 1: but you was only redeemable for pepsi and pepsi products.
Speaker 1: I will say that the super Bowl party I was
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl halftime. We enjoyed it so much
Speaker 1: that when it flowed right into the pepsi we all
Speaker 1: started chanting PEPSI and uh, I think I felt that
Speaker 1: it worked. Yeah, succeed succeeded on that. Still not loving
Speaker 1: Police is such a like just now that that's in focus,
Speaker 1: because that was the one they let them say is
Speaker 1: such a strange lyric like just still I'm not loving him?
Speaker 1: Still love them? Yeah, or they're like, hey, now, Dre,
Speaker 1: is it still fun the police? When you're I'm still
Speaker 1: not loving him? I'm still not loving him. You know,
Speaker 1: he getting my favorite I'm not loving him? Well you
Speaker 1: think I sold all my guns? Yeah? Wow, it's like yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like he still want he won't to say fund
Speaker 1: the police though, who was like, nah, no, not loving him?
Speaker 1: Next time, next time somebody cuts me off on the highway,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say fun you ms say I don't
Speaker 1: love you. I'm not loving you. I'm not loving you.
Speaker 1: Not loving that move right there, definitely not loving that.
Speaker 1: The one thing I do want to say is m
Speaker 1: v P though. Are those dancers because when they played
Speaker 1: they started playing still d r E, they the track
Speaker 1: fucked up like multiple times. Yeah, that's weird. The count
Speaker 1: got thrown off, like the one like kept skipping. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh ship, we got to see some like
Speaker 1: girl you know it's girl, you know like type ship,
Speaker 1: but we didn't, and the dancers still fucking found the beat,
Speaker 1: like even though it got sucked up. So that's how
Speaker 1: I that's how you know that some songs people just
Speaker 1: inherently know from that little piano lick, like where the
Speaker 1: beats supposed to come in. Oh yeah, that's that song
Speaker 1: is just tattooed on all everyone's souls. Who has been
Speaker 1: allowed for the past thirty forty years? All right? And
Speaker 1: then Charlie Kirk came through with the called the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl halftime show sexual anarchy, which sounds red, but he
Speaker 1: apparently meant it as a bad thing. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: see that sex. Yeah. Yeah. His direct tweet is the
Speaker 1: NFL is now the league of sexual anarchy. This halftime
Speaker 1: show should not be allowed on television. I don't know what,
Speaker 1: like what part is he there? There was not a
Speaker 1: lot of sex on the stage and in the crowd.
Speaker 1: It was a scheduled tweet. He loaded that up a
Speaker 1: week ago. Yeah, and just I assume this is gonna
Speaker 1: be relevant next see. I think he like this is
Speaker 1: you know, reveals some of the weird sexual baggage tied
Speaker 1: up in white supremacists and like white supremacy behatred of
Speaker 1: black culture is like you know that AOC was like
Speaker 1: commented on it was like, see, I mean I called
Speaker 1: them freaks, and like this is what I meant, Like
Speaker 1: they're they're all fucked up, like with regards to all
Speaker 1: of their hatred and ship like that. Like the fact
Speaker 1: that he saw that show, I was like, well, what
Speaker 1: the fuck, Like that's that's sexual terrorists. No, you know
Speaker 1: what the problem is, they just can't say the same
Speaker 1: ship over and over. Just I don't like seeing black
Speaker 1: people happy, right, that's it. But they have to fucking
Speaker 1: find a new wordy way to say that second shu
Speaker 1: anarchy you're talking about, Like what you want to say
Speaker 1: is too many black people on TV, too much black
Speaker 1: excellence on the television. We're showing people that this is
Speaker 1: good when I don't like it and that that's bad
Speaker 1: for me. I wish it was just all a bunch
Speaker 1: of Travis trips and ship. And you know that's why
Speaker 1: it's funny because fucking Candice Owens around the same time
Speaker 1: tweets this is an excellent Super Bowl halftime performance. Undeniable
Speaker 1: hip hop and r and b excellence and you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: this wow. But I guess on some level, even like
Speaker 1: with her internalized throughout racism, she still couldn't look at
Speaker 1: that and say this is bad. She's like no, this this, this,
Speaker 1: this is good. This is good. Did she forget the
Speaker 1: act for a second. I never know. Well, it's funny
Speaker 1: someone there. Her following tweet was someone saying, hey, better
Speaker 1: be careful. Your fellow conservatives like might cancel you. And
Speaker 1: then did. The whole thing is like who I am
Speaker 1: just not define and what I like, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of a thing about, which is sort of similar to like,
Speaker 1: just because I am black, it doesn't mean I'm a Democrat,
Speaker 1: or just because I'm a conservative doesn't mean I hate
Speaker 1: everything that's black, just parts of myself. So you know
Speaker 1: it it shows us that there is something so widely
Speaker 1: pervasive about hip hop, because you could tell the whole
Speaker 1: stadium like went up, even the people who overpaid for
Speaker 1: their tickets who might normally not listen to hip hop,
Speaker 1: that a lot of that music was like the like
Speaker 1: literally the like the sonic fabric of a certain era.
Speaker 1: So it's hard to get around it. Oh yeah, everybody
Speaker 1: has partied to that. You know, even if you never
Speaker 1: you know, there's everybody's enjoyed that. Everybody. It's one of
Speaker 1: those songs that come on and you're just like, hell yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of these people actually enjoy
Speaker 1: it too. They just don't want to admit it. They
Speaker 1: want to go on their social media and pretend it's
Speaker 1: just so weird. I would never if it was a
Speaker 1: bunch of country people at the halftime show, I would
Speaker 1: never go, there's nothing here in form me. I would
Speaker 1: understand that this is sort of like, you know, they're
Speaker 1: outside Englewood. You know, they're sort of doing like, you know,
Speaker 1: the West Coast thing and a tribute to l A
Speaker 1: and the and the artists from there. How do you
Speaker 1: not understand that? Why are you complaining? How come they
Speaker 1: don't have anybody from Detroit? You know they're mad there.
Speaker 1: That's right, they did, they did have somebody to try.
Speaker 1: There's still bad real quick, do we want to cover
Speaker 1: off on some Super Bowl ads? I don't know the
Speaker 1: like there. So you mentioned the Larry David one, which
Speaker 1: was like how much money? How much money do you
Speaker 1: need in your life? Because also Larry David feels like
Speaker 1: the type of guy that he would be so annoyed
Speaker 1: to have to go shoot a commercial so put off
Speaker 1: by it, so in Crypto on top of it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what what was in it for him? The family? They
Speaker 1: must be overpaying so many because and then I mean
Speaker 1: it's a smart strategy because you get the celebrities on
Speaker 1: board and then they have a bunch of like that.
Speaker 1: I think I read somewhere that Matt Damon is paid
Speaker 1: with like ownership of Crypto dot com or whatever, like
Speaker 1: not owning it out right, but having a lot, so
Speaker 1: it's now in his interest for this to be a thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know what what Larry David's deal is. It
Speaker 1: sucked because it was like a solid like SNL sketch
Speaker 1: with a fucking f T like a crypto like punch
Speaker 1: lines just like right, yeah, man, no was it funny?
Speaker 1: I I didn't. I couldn't hear it because of the party.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you like Larry David like he's doing,
Speaker 1: he's doing the funny thing. Yeah, skeptical, a skeptical Larry,
Speaker 1: And that's like his character throughout the thing. One thing
Speaker 1: that jam our writer pointed out was like the negotiations
Speaker 1: took six weeks for him to agree to do that,
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know, I don't know what
Speaker 1: the funk he was asking for and what ended up
Speaker 1: being paid. But also that shows you the fact that
Speaker 1: the fact that his his endorsement is him saying don't
Speaker 1: buy an f T or like this bullshit. The premise
Speaker 1: of the commercial is him saying like fuck no to
Speaker 1: various like great ideas, like he's like telling Edison not
Speaker 1: like not great work on the light bulb and ship
Speaker 1: like that, and then it ends with him telling somebody
Speaker 1: who's like pitching him this n f T product, like
Speaker 1: he doesn't love it. And so I mean, the fact
Speaker 1: the fact that it took that much legal work, like
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that that was very much part of the negotiations.
Speaker 1: But still you can't get away with that man that Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you know they get for all those people. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just like we need more, we need more people
Speaker 1: to buy into this so they think it's an investment
Speaker 1: and not a gamble, like they're doing a damn good job.
Speaker 1: Somebody on Twitter was like, man, all these crypto ads
Speaker 1: remind me of all the dot com ads I found
Speaker 1: two thousands on the super Bowl right before it all filimrkyah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean it's all you know, probe as
Speaker 1: part of the game, you got to get more people
Speaker 1: in the casino. Yeah. The only other one I want
Speaker 1: to bring up is that they did a Sopranos reunion.
Speaker 1: Did you watch that, Miles? I heard about it, that
Speaker 1: Meadow and a j were in a thing, but I
Speaker 1: didn't actually look because I tried to watch The Many
Speaker 1: Saints of Newark on the airplane and it broke my heart.
Speaker 1: I've never turned a film off on an airplane in
Speaker 1: my life except for that one. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good right now in this Damn it's
Speaker 1: so bad. Uses for like, I would rather sit here
Speaker 1: and stare at nothing. Yeah, I would rather watch Flight Map,
Speaker 1: my second favorite film. Honestly, dude, did you have you
Speaker 1: seen it? No? Oh my god, the opening fucking is ridiculous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard. Well, it's not even it's worth watching. Just
Speaker 1: you'd be like, okay, all right, I don't they think
Speaker 1: I'm stupid. But no, I saw all that to say, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't see that wonderful. What is it like for
Speaker 1: Chevy or something. Yeah, it's the first ever all electric
Speaker 1: Chevy Silverado and it's just Meadow driving to meet up
Speaker 1: with a j and like they recreate the intro and
Speaker 1: that's it, basically recreate the intro, but she's doing the driving.
Speaker 1: But it does, you know, suggest that they were not
Speaker 1: killed in that final episode, which happy for them. What
Speaker 1: did they say that it was a whole family or
Speaker 1: just Tony got gunned down? Chase came out and basically
Speaker 1: admitted that Tony got killed. And then this is apparently
Speaker 1: like with the blessing of David Chase, So then they
Speaker 1: didn't get hit in that diner. Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: And yeah, and then they pivot into what better way
Speaker 1: to soothe your trauma of watching your father get murdered
Speaker 1: in front of you had a family dinner? Then the
Speaker 1: All New Electric Exactly. They shot it on original locations,
Speaker 1: two stars from the Yeah, Jamie Lenn Siegler and Robert Eisler,
Speaker 1: all shot by original crew members of the HBO series
Speaker 1: and sanctioned by creator David Chase. I mean, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Well it was probably not yeah, no, that's good. I
Speaker 1: I you guys get my vision, so let's make this.
Speaker 1: Or maybe he did it. Maybe he was like, if
Speaker 1: you're doing it hire all my crew. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Like if you do it, you have to hire them.
Speaker 1: You have to do that. Like I'm not letting some
Speaker 1: agency do this. You hire them. Fine, Yeah, maybe that's
Speaker 1: maybe he is. Maybe that that's the that's the story.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So is this canon? Is this part of
Speaker 1: the Sopranos universe? I think it might be right. It
Speaker 1: was sanctioned by creator David Chase. We'll have to wait
Speaker 1: and watch the interview where he comes out in the
Speaker 1: next week. I was like, fuck that, that's bullshit. I
Speaker 1: never said anything, but I was laughing about this with
Speaker 1: my friends. Just a stupid idea of like if Sopranos
Speaker 1: were around now, like imagine them talking about Crypto and
Speaker 1: you know, like I would love to bring it back,
Speaker 1: and we see Polly talking about and like what like
Speaker 1: what is this? It's like it's like a is that?
Speaker 1: And then it's worth it's worth I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: a product that's designed to make everybody sounds like a
Speaker 1: character from Sopranos in trying to explain it to one another,
Speaker 1: because it's basically impossible to explain, and like that is
Speaker 1: what is keeping it in in business? I think I
Speaker 1: would love if if if it turned out that they
Speaker 1: created it. And there you know, Monday Laundering scheme, it's
Speaker 1: the biggest scheme of all time before this, Yes, Sanitation
Speaker 1: and Crypto or the mobs, Big Big covers Old Nick.
Speaker 1: Such a pleasure having you, man, where can people find you?
Speaker 1: Follow you? All that goods? Uh? Yeah, I mean so
Speaker 1: check out Disingenuous. It's this movie I just I spent
Speaker 1: It's a stand up film, but it's sort of like
Speaker 1: a mockumentary. It's me running around Chicago and it gets uh,
Speaker 1: there's sort of a surreal nous to it or this
Speaker 1: like maybe some multiverse time travel aspects of it. But
Speaker 1: I wanted to do with something really bizarre for a
Speaker 1: stand up special. And uh and and this is what
Speaker 1: I did so you can get You can find that
Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime. It's the and if you're around the world,
Speaker 1: I think it's on video. I always want to say
Speaker 1: Venmo there, Yeah, yeah, that'll it'll soon be on Venmo
Speaker 1: a platform, I'm sure. Yeah, my favorite content makers. And
Speaker 1: is there a tweet or some of the work of
Speaker 1: social media you've been enjoying, Well, you know, what's I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm enjoying it. But I thought this
Speaker 1: was interesting to say because this was in my head
Speaker 1: and this thing happens sometimes on social media. But somebody
Speaker 1: tweeted this guy. Brian the Ruler tweeted this. MF dropped
Speaker 1: one song and dipped and it's the Guyote. It's guyot Oot.
Speaker 1: That's definitely what his name. Hey where Guyote? Maybe if
Speaker 1: he was Guyote still be around? Yeah? Really? Oh boy, Okay,
Speaker 1: scary Guyote, famous third basement, paid for the Cubs and Reds.
Speaker 1: It's got yeah, yeah, it's good man, this guy Guyote,
Speaker 1: keeper dogs inside. Guyotes in the neighborhood. Guys. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just something like god guy who lives in Runyon Canyon. Right, Oh,
Speaker 1: you've never heard of the Guyote. He's a mail in
Speaker 1: a gramm who lurks around running, can you. It's like
Speaker 1: cryptozoology talks of the Guyote taking people's babies and taking
Speaker 1: their picture and putting them back. So then so so
Speaker 1: then somebody retweets this and it says, now he's just
Speaker 1: somebody that we used to know. Okay, it's a very
Speaker 1: satisfying joke, right, It's it's almost but here's here's that's
Speaker 1: as good as this this tiny story gets because after
Speaker 1: that the story goes and this thing happens on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Sometimes thousands of people start tweeting the same exact joke.
Speaker 1: And that's the part that I always think is so bizarre.
Speaker 1: There's this like weird robot army of people that see
Speaker 1: something and it's like, oh, that's funny, I will do
Speaker 1: it too. And I don't understand it because I think
Speaker 1: a lot of these accounts are like bots. And I've
Speaker 1: seen it before and a couple other Joe, because I'll
Speaker 1: see a joke I like, and then I'll I'll google it.
Speaker 1: The first time I just said, I went back to
Speaker 1: Twitter to try to find it to show somebody, and
Speaker 1: then I saw like thousands of the same joke again
Speaker 1: it and it's just weird, Like, I don't know, have
Speaker 1: you seen this happen before? Yeah, I mean you'll you'll
Speaker 1: typically see a tweet just blow up, and then you
Speaker 1: see a bunch of people just doing the same joke
Speaker 1: on their account because probably people don't have the same
Speaker 1: things on their timeline, and then they get like a
Speaker 1: fraction of the regions people like oh this is genius.
Speaker 1: I'm like, look at the time, they just fucking ripped
Speaker 1: this tweet off from like three hours ago. And then
Speaker 1: there's also a parallel thinking which like is also you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes happening, and that like gives the person an out.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but sometimes it's also I see this though,
Speaker 1: like even like on TikTok though two, like there are
Speaker 1: just certain forms to videos, and then people just want
Speaker 1: to keep doing the same joke over and over and
Speaker 1: over again. And I think I think we might be
Speaker 1: looking at it differently as people you know who like
Speaker 1: labor over sometimes like thinking of like a poke or
Speaker 1: whatever versus other people. It's just really fun to do
Speaker 1: something funny or be funny, type something funny, and the
Speaker 1: relationship might be different. But yeah, I see that a
Speaker 1: lot too, like on TikTok, And I'm like, are y'all,
Speaker 1: but don't you feel like, like, do something slightly different,
Speaker 1: don't just do the same video, But yeah, get your
Speaker 1: CLIs at least a take, at least if you know.
Speaker 1: I always say when someone remakes the song and they
Speaker 1: almost just do a note by note exact replica of
Speaker 1: the It's like, well then why cover it? Have have
Speaker 1: your own take on it? And I guess I see
Speaker 1: what you're saying, like we told, you know, we tell
Speaker 1: street jokes to each other and we don't think anything
Speaker 1: of it. These are jokes everybody tells. But this in
Speaker 1: the social media where it feels like you're kind of
Speaker 1: putting yourself out, there is ownership of all the content
Speaker 1: because there is a reward system for that, and it
Speaker 1: is weird to see, like the one that you're you know,
Speaker 1: like there's the guy who bumps into the door frame
Speaker 1: in the eighties and nine. You know, he's tough in
Speaker 1: the seventies, he's a little hurt, in the eighties, he
Speaker 1: cries in the IDEs. The two thousands, he calls upon
Speaker 1: or whatever, and that's right. I've seen that thousand times.
Speaker 1: And then I saw another one. This one was so
Speaker 1: specific because it was kind of long. It's like it
Speaker 1: was something where like a girl the guy starring, and
Speaker 1: the girls slaps him in the face and it looks
Speaker 1: like he's not gonna do anything, but then he like
Speaker 1: pulls the cover over her head and I think farts
Speaker 1: or something. But it's something like that, and it's so
Speaker 1: like detailed that I was surprised that people would do
Speaker 1: the exact whole thing again. And it feels to me,
Speaker 1: like if you were to stand up open Bike and
Speaker 1: and somebody went up and did a joke and someone's like,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious, and everybody at the Open mind decided to
Speaker 1: go up and do that. Yeah, in a way, I
Speaker 1: would love to see that and just watch people Like
Speaker 1: it's almost like a fucking Olympic like weightlifting, where it's
Speaker 1: like y'all are all going for the same weight that
Speaker 1: you're lifting, but someone might finesse it just that little
Speaker 1: bit more, And so I'm like, dude, that's my fucking joke.
Speaker 1: And I was like, honestly, you know they told that
Speaker 1: ship way better than better. Yeah, I steaks joke telling.
Speaker 1: I would that'd be interesting stand up show, the led
Speaker 1: Zeppelin of stand ups. Miles where can people find you?
Speaker 1: What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Twitter? Instagram? At Miles
Speaker 1: of Gray. Also the other show for twenty Day Fiance

Speaker 1: one is from at uh mahanted Elshiki tweeted Eminem no

Speaker 1: that one, and at Andy Levy tweeted, Okay, well, if
Speaker 1: Tupac didn't come back for that, I guess it's official.
