Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Zight
Speaker 1: Inch Nails by Trend Resner. That's a short show title
Speaker 1: courtesy of at Vast Underscore Stampede. Anyways, I am Jack
Speaker 1: and I'm thrilled to be joined today by a very
Speaker 1: special guest co host, the brilliant and talented super producer
Speaker 1: Becca Rama. Hello, Thank, hey, hey, hey Jack. How are you.
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. Excited to get into these trends,
Speaker 1: a lot of pop culture stuff. My favorite today. That's
Speaker 1: that's some professional podcast hosting right there, just right to
Speaker 1: it all business. Well, yeah, you were saying you were
Speaker 1: excited to talk about the Supreme Court because you are
Speaker 1: anti vax and you were psyched to see that they
Speaker 1: shot down the vax man date. That's the first trend
Speaker 1: we got to talk about. Yeah, on Thursday, which is today,
Speaker 1: blocked the Biden administration's vaccine or test requirements for large
Speaker 1: private companies. And you know, it broke along party lines,
Speaker 1: but it's basically, you know, the Conservatives just showing a
Speaker 1: stagger and commitment to being wrong about everything. So what
Speaker 1: does this mean, you know, for the rest of the year, Like,
Speaker 1: does this mean that like we're just never going to
Speaker 1: leave our house again that like there are no rules
Speaker 1: or are they breaking it down to like the state
Speaker 1: and local level, because I know personally in New York
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of vaccine mandates and like planes
Speaker 1: have vaccine mandates. So is it's just like federally, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what the I I think it's federally they
Speaker 1: can't tell companies what to do, so big companies that
Speaker 1: don't want to enforce the vaccine mandate will no longer
Speaker 1: be doing it. How we just read a headline from
Speaker 1: I think it was the United ceo. Uh, one of
Speaker 1: the airlines ceo is being like, hey, you know what's crazy,
Speaker 1: like so ever since the vaccine mandate, like we used
Speaker 1: to be having multiple employees die a week and now
Speaker 1: we don't have any for the past. You know. It's
Speaker 1: like huh uh. So we just had that quote. But
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court just had to step in, and you know,
Speaker 1: I do wonder like are these highest of High Court,
Speaker 1: you know, the philosopher kings as they like to view themselves,
Speaker 1: like they all watch Fox News, right, like those like
Speaker 1: the people who are all voting on this, the conservatives,
Speaker 1: they all watch Fox News for sure. These diphits. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we live in a nightmare. This will continue. Uh,
Speaker 1: this hurts our ability to stop the coronavirus. Well, and
Speaker 1: it's really scary. I think from a public health standpoint
Speaker 1: in general that like our government is in team care
Speaker 1: av us. But also I think this scary narrative that's
Speaker 1: been going on. It's like, well, oh, Macron, it is
Speaker 1: more widespread, which means it's not as deadly, and therefore
Speaker 1: everyone's going to get it, just accept it and move on.
Speaker 1: But in reality, I think we're not talking about the
Speaker 1: health implications for those of us who are im you know,
Speaker 1: compromise or you know, are disabled and things like that.
Speaker 1: Like that narrative is not true, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's like gas lighting from the government. And this is
Speaker 1: like adding to that that, oh, like it's fine, we're fine.
Speaker 1: This is the flu. We're just going to have to
Speaker 1: live and suffer through and we will all live. But
Speaker 1: in reality, this has way bigger implications for those who
Speaker 1: are immunocompromise and disabled and elderly that you know, is
Speaker 1: really putting their health at risk and there's nothing they
Speaker 1: can do about it. They won't just get it and
Speaker 1: get over it and be fine. They will have serious
Speaker 1: health and potentially long COVID UH side effects for the
Speaker 1: rest of our lives. Yes, it's almost like the country
Speaker 1: that lives on the rubric of you can only have
Speaker 1: healthcare if you have a full time job. As almost
Speaker 1: as if that logic has completely fucked us. Or maybe
Speaker 1: that logic is just a symptom of a deep core
Speaker 1: rottenness of the American ideal. Uh, we'll see not a
Speaker 1: great not a great uh start here to viagra is trending?
Speaker 1: Did we did? We talked on the regular episode about
Speaker 1: how the Right is like this is their new COVID
Speaker 1: off brand cure. Right. Yeah, the tuger Carlson thought it
Speaker 1: was funny and cute and he was doing his like,
Speaker 1: am I doing satire? I like to tell myself, I
Speaker 1: am because it helps me sleep at night. Um. But
Speaker 1: there's so we had another story about off brand usage
Speaker 1: for viagra in this case. In this case, um a
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback who um has the twin designation of being
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and not playing well
Speaker 1: in the cold, which is not a great fit. But uh, anyways,
Speaker 1: somebody a former NFL player on a podcast was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: he just needs to take viagra. Like that's what everybody
Speaker 1: in the NFL knows that before a game in the cold,
Speaker 1: you just take viagra and it like gets the blood
Speaker 1: pumping to the surface of your skin and you don't
Speaker 1: feel cold. Um, And you know, the part of me
Speaker 1: is like, Okay, I saw this news story pop up
Speaker 1: so to speak on drug the Drudge Report, like it
Speaker 1: does seem like you know that somebody else was pointing
Speaker 1: out the viagra story happening on Fox News makes sense
Speaker 1: because the what's the company that makes viagra? It's not
Speaker 1: per do with one of the other evil bastards. Um,
Speaker 1: I have no idea I on fizor fizor of course. Anyways,
Speaker 1: they were pointing out that Fiser is a big advertiser
Speaker 1: on Fox News, so uh, conspiratorially thinking they probably aren't
Speaker 1: too psyched with all the anti vax bullshit that they
Speaker 1: put put on Fox News. But if Fox were to
Speaker 1: I don't know, glom onto a wild conspiracy theory that
Speaker 1: like one of their other medications cures by cures covid,
Speaker 1: then I meant maybe they'd be happy. Maybe that's a
Speaker 1: little Hey, the real question is does this work? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. The story you always hear about viagra
Speaker 1: is that it was like the popular usage of it
Speaker 1: to treat a rectile dysfunction was discovered like as a
Speaker 1: side effect. It was like a side effect of the
Speaker 1: drug that was I think treating like people with hypertension
Speaker 1: or some other um like heart related illness. And they
Speaker 1: were just like, uh so one quick note on on
Speaker 1: this medication you just gave me um so I could
Speaker 1: see it. I don't know. It seems like this thing
Speaker 1: has all all sorts of unintended side effects that are useful.
Speaker 1: So maybe who knows. I wouldn't be surprised to learn
Speaker 1: that something that affects your blood pumping also affects your
Speaker 1: ability to like get blood near the surface of your skin.
Speaker 1: But who knows. Who knows? Well, good luck, good luck
Speaker 1: to the football players, said like a true sports not
Speaker 1: h You did grow up in Texas, right, so I did,
Speaker 1: And I saw on trending as well. Was the Texans
Speaker 1: head coach is fired? That's as much as I know
Speaker 1: about the story. I don't have very many details after that.
Speaker 1: From what I read, it seems people feel like you
Speaker 1: was set up for failure. That he was sabotage. I
Speaker 1: don't keep up with the Texans too much besides my
Speaker 1: dad being a big old Texans fan, but it seems
Speaker 1: like big buzzing news in the NFL. Outside of biographic course,
Speaker 1: there's yeah, Jason Momoa Lisa Bona are are getting a divorce.
Speaker 1: I'll just read from their statement, Um, we have all
Speaker 1: felt the squeeze and change of these transformational times. A
Speaker 1: revolution is unfolding, and our family is of no exception
Speaker 1: feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring. That sounds
Speaker 1: like you're about to tell me that you're pregnant, that
Speaker 1: you're expecting, and so we share our family news that
Speaker 1: we are parting ways in marriage. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: like that's that's a that's very nice. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's just how people in Hollywood announced that they're married
Speaker 1: beautiful from their publicies is like if conscious uncoupling, if
Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow had us whole. But this does make me
Speaker 1: ask the question, is Jason Momoa the most desirable bachelor
Speaker 1: in American history? You know? I feel like absolutely. I
Speaker 1: think people are devastated because they were such a beautiful couple.
Speaker 1: They represented such power Like Lisa, she is such a
Speaker 1: powerhouse of an actress. Of everything she's ever done, She's
Speaker 1: created one of the most amazing nepotism children of all time.
Speaker 1: You know, I would put them like, uh with Jada
Speaker 1: and Willow with um, like, who are There's so many
Speaker 1: nepotism kids. But I feel like we need to make
Speaker 1: that we need to do a segment on the most
Speaker 1: the whole episode of Daily Zygeist of like top creations
Speaker 1: of nepotism, because yeah, like the Smiths are like beautiful
Speaker 1: aliens who could not have been invented without the growing
Speaker 1: up in that environment. Um and yeah, so I do
Speaker 1: think it makes him one of the hottest bachelors in history. Um. Like,
Speaker 1: there's the there's the thing of like dating up where,
Speaker 1: like you they talk about in succession where Greg like
Speaker 1: dates someone who's out of his league and then other
Speaker 1: women assume that that must mean that there's something about
Speaker 1: him that is like attractive, like like Davidson and every
Speaker 1: other woman he's yeah, yeah, exactly Pete Davidson the story
Speaker 1: but like Lisa Bone is like, I feel like the
Speaker 1: coolest person like we've had in America, and so like
Speaker 1: the fact that he was married to her and they
Speaker 1: like parted ways. Uh sorry, they grew apart in marriage. Uh.
Speaker 1: Is makes it seem like this could be a new
Speaker 1: high point in hotness for a single moment. Himbos are
Speaker 1: really in right now, Jack right, just so you know,
Speaker 1: like himbo culture like that, Come on, women want beautiful
Speaker 1: dumb men that are just going to worship the ground
Speaker 1: they walk on. Not that that isn't what they've always wanted,
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's like made an arc, Like
Speaker 1: they're like, where are the himbos on television? Whereas like
Speaker 1: the himbo to bisexual woman pipeline of like dating, it's
Speaker 1: very out there in the TikTok sphere right now. So
Speaker 1: I feel like he is definitely like going to be
Speaker 1: top to your material as we see the press rolls out,
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see who he dates next. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: whoever it is. It will be a disappointment, but it
Speaker 1: will be a step down. But the like this moment.
Speaker 1: A Kardashian producer, Bryan says, a Kardashian, he's taking for
Speaker 1: that out of here with that? Good for that? You
Speaker 1: throw salt over your shoulder and knock on wood and
Speaker 1: throw your computer into the ocean. After that he said,
Speaker 1: I'll show myself out. Uh yeah, this is the peak.
Speaker 1: Like from here you can only go down. Um, but
Speaker 1: if like at this moment when it's like coming off
Speaker 1: of like that, I feel like Lisa bon A also
Speaker 1: like that's why Lenny Kravitz was so hot for so long.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh kid, well and also famously his
Speaker 1: big dick, so famously famously all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back, and
Speaker 1: Kanye is popping onto people's trending radar because he's being
Speaker 1: investigated for punching up fan. Very early stages, the details
Speaker 1: are unclear, but it was basically there was a listening
Speaker 1: party with Kanye, Madonna, uh, Julie Fox from Uncut Gems,
Speaker 1: who is his girlfriend? Now, Uh yeah, that's fun Madonna
Speaker 1: and Julie Fox and Kanye like that's a fun group.
Speaker 1: Also Antonio Brown and Floyd Mayweather. Ye yeah, but anyways,
Speaker 1: they're having a listening party. There's some video from that,
Speaker 1: and then apparently there's video of him maybe punching a
Speaker 1: fan outside of that listening party. Um. But then some
Speaker 1: people are saying he was set up. We don't know. Um,
Speaker 1: but that is why Kanye's name is trending. Um. And
Speaker 1: then on the other side of that divorce, Uh, there
Speaker 1: there's news of Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson because they
Speaker 1: just went on a date that involved going to Johnah Benny's.
Speaker 1: Shout out to John and Benny's just a local. It's like, um,
Speaker 1: very well done Olive Garden just like good probably like home. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's good. It's like a great restaurant in in
Speaker 1: l A. But then they went to Right Aid for
Speaker 1: ice cream, which is a thing that do you guys
Speaker 1: have that in New York? Like do you right you have?
Speaker 1: Dwayne Read, do you have They're all owned by the
Speaker 1: same I think people, and they have like an ice
Speaker 1: cream like Scooper person, like you can get an ice
Speaker 1: cream coming you can like go get Scoops at the
Speaker 1: Right Aid. Going into then and Jerry like, oh no,
Speaker 1: we don't have that. Yeah, it's very uh I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it exists other places. I think it's like
Speaker 1: a holdover from the days of like where there was
Speaker 1: one store in the town center where you could get
Speaker 1: a sasaparilla. You could go get your pharmaceuticals and you
Speaker 1: could also get an ice cream, but anyways, it's that's
Speaker 1: that's what they're hitting up, is right aid for ice cream,
Speaker 1: which interesting. I kind of love it for them. I
Speaker 1: think it's cute. Yeah, I mean Kim is so curated, right,
Speaker 1: like that's her whole thing. Have you watched press interviews
Speaker 1: of hers? Like not even just like Ellen performances, but
Speaker 1: I think David Letterman's my next guest. Things like that,
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone so press trained when they do interviews.
Speaker 1: She will not let a thing slip. She has such
Speaker 1: a curated like perception and like what she puts out
Speaker 1: there is so purposeful. So it's kind of cute that
Speaker 1: she's dating someone so whimsical and obviously it's but yeah,
Speaker 1: like the antithesis, like Kanye was like uh u r
Speaker 1: I m us and I'm going to project everything artistically
Speaker 1: onto you. I'm going to make you into a princess.
Speaker 1: I'm going to decorate you like a statue and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna love you, but I'm just gonna look at
Speaker 1: you like art. And now instead she is the art
Speaker 1: that through her own lens and not that always say
Speaker 1: I do not worship the Karaghians. But it is kind
Speaker 1: of interesting to see her, you know, maybe actually like
Speaker 1: let loose a little. You know, she's worked so hard
Speaker 1: to create this such curated image and now she's like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm in my forties, I got my kids,
Speaker 1: I got my little law career. I'm like a top
Speaker 1: tier influencer. Yeah, I'm gonna go get ice cream with
Speaker 1: my boyfriend at it does feel like a scene from
Speaker 1: a romantic comedy where Pete Davidson dates like a Disney
Speaker 1: princess who has just come to life out of a
Speaker 1: Disney movie. I mean, it's a Laddin, you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit like ice cream at a writing Oh yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: it's like totally good. I don't know why he's Bob
Speaker 1: Caldwaite for some reason in my mind. But all right,
Speaker 1: but the big story, we had to hold it for last.
Speaker 1: We're going to skip over the fact that Glenn Beck
Speaker 1: has COVID and says it spread to his lungs because
Speaker 1: I don't want to like wish harm on anyone. He's
Speaker 1: antiax and claims to be unvaccinated. I feel like he's
Speaker 1: the type of person who is probably lying about his
Speaker 1: vaccination status. But um, you know, would be in the
Speaker 1: highest profile conservative bullshit artist to die from ingesting their
Speaker 1: own bullshit. But I'm not saying I want that, I'm
Speaker 1: just stating effect. Anyways, the big story, the big news
Speaker 1: m g K. Megan Fox got engaged to love still exists,
Speaker 1: crazy love. The ending of the iconic Instagram post from
Speaker 1: Megan Fox and we drink each other's blood. Um, the
Speaker 1: ring was gorgeous. It's huge. Uh, it's that I don't
Speaker 1: remember how it's pronounced. I'm not going to say it,
Speaker 1: but it's like basically, um, two different stones, particularly usually
Speaker 1: like an emerald and a diamond um together to kind
Speaker 1: of symbolize like two individuals joining in one Um. It's
Speaker 1: very popular cut right now. It's a very expensive cut,
Speaker 1: an emerald in a diamond um. But you know it's
Speaker 1: captainize for the diamond industry. Like, okay, so we've got
Speaker 1: this new trend. It's you're gonna love it. It's two
Speaker 1: giant diamonds instead of one symbolize whatever. And emeralds. Emeralds
Speaker 1: are so expensive too, so it's it's like the jeweling
Speaker 1: industry is gonna go hey hey over it. But the
Speaker 1: captain is crazy go read it. The whole thing is insane.
Speaker 1: It's you know, very emulating. Uh mg K's best friend
Speaker 1: Travis Barker and Courtney Kardashian's engagement. Uh, clearly there's a
Speaker 1: lot of strife. It reminds me of like my you know,
Speaker 1: college boyfriend. I'm trying to prove to everybody that everything's
Speaker 1: fine type of caption, Like, and you know, we go
Speaker 1: through trials and tribulations and ups and downs, but I
Speaker 1: love this person with all my heart. But like clearly
Speaker 1: it's like toxicity there. That's the vibe it's giving. But
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how long they last. I'm excited,
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's a roller coaster. We'll see. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just I don't know, I need maybe I need to
Speaker 1: like take another look at the article. But it just
Speaker 1: feels like she's very interesting and like singularly uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, uh, pretty and talented, and he's just kind
Speaker 1: of like, okay, all right, Well they're very intense. That's
Speaker 1: been the whole thing with their relationship from start to finish,
Speaker 1: is that they're like you know, you guys did this
Speaker 1: story about it a while ago where he like blew
Speaker 1: like what weed into her mouth. The first time they liked,
Speaker 1: they hovered over each other and she was like, you
Speaker 1: smell like weed, and he said, I am weed, and
Speaker 1: then yeah, I think late later that night he like
Speaker 1: blew weed into her mouth. Yes, absolutely. Super producer Brian says,
Speaker 1: Angelina and Billy Bob vibes, and that is correct. It
Speaker 1: is very much that it's very gross to look at,
Speaker 1: but like an entertaining rooster all the way through. But
Speaker 1: they are both so talented, like that's the thing and like,
Speaker 1: but I guess that whatever, And I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people think mg K is talented. I guess he
Speaker 1: was good in like one movie. I saw him in
Speaker 1: that Jamie Fox movie where people had superpowers. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's untalented. You know, is he likes super talented?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he's not untalented. He's definitely has
Speaker 1: a star power or he wouldn't be I think still
Speaker 1: around he did UM the SNL performance of Travis Parker.
Speaker 1: I think UM recently, like in October or whatever, and
Speaker 1: it was good. I mean, I don't he's not His
Speaker 1: music is not my cup of tea. But I think
Speaker 1: the things he's active and has been pretty good like
Speaker 1: not bad, so Megan Fox obviously we've agreed. He's very talented.
Speaker 1: So and then we drank each other's blood. That's how
Speaker 1: That's how we will end all episodes from now on.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Becca for joining. Such a pleasure
Speaker 1: having you as always. Where can people find you? Follow
Speaker 1: you all that good stuff? You can find me follow
