Speaker 1: And here are some things that are trending. Rihanna is
Speaker 1: trending because the Republic of Barbados announced that she is
Speaker 1: the the new national Hero. She is officially a national hero,
Speaker 1: so the Republic of Barbados has dropped one queen and
Speaker 1: gained a much better one. There is is how news
Speaker 1: person would say that. But um, yeah, no longer the
Speaker 1: head of state, Elizabeth not the head of state anymore,
Speaker 1: and they got their own president. They even saluted the
Speaker 1: flag one last time. They said, take that fucking colonizers
Speaker 1: shipped down, putting on our own ship now. But yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't the new flag designed or like, have anything to
Speaker 1: do with fanty VNTI ex Puma is the designer of
Speaker 1: the flag. Really don't really don't, But yeah, it's just wild,
Speaker 1: especially when you think of Barbados is like entire history
Speaker 1: with the Transatlantic say, slave trade and the British Empires
Speaker 1: role and all of that. And Prince Charles, like in
Speaker 1: his speech at this ender, was like, hey, man, slavery
Speaker 1: was pretty fucked up, y'all. That's on us. Sorry, m
Speaker 1: But hey, it's not often you'll hear people say that
Speaker 1: out loud when they're a world leader. Uh. CNN Entertainment
Speaker 1: has I'm just gonna read a couple of quotes from
Speaker 1: their report on this. Rihanna's homeland wants her to continue
Speaker 1: to shine bright like a diamond. Um. But then the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister also on in uh their speech said on
Speaker 1: behalf of a grateful nation, but even prouder people. We
Speaker 1: therefore present you the designate for National Hero of Barbados. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then may you continue to shine like a diamond
Speaker 1: and bring your on and bring honor to your nation
Speaker 1: by your works, by her actions, and to do credit
Speaker 1: wherever you shall go, acting as our umbrella. Ella. Ella,
Speaker 1: Now come on, rude boy, can you get um anyways?
Speaker 1: Uh much? They're they're trading up in in many ways.
Speaker 1: And yeah, well, I mean like Queen Elizabeth, man, I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody's heard from her. I feel like it's only only
Speaker 1: only drama headlines these days coming out of there. Is
Speaker 1: uh she dead? Oh Queen Elizabeth. No, I know, not officially,
Speaker 1: but it would be full of crab memes and crab
Speaker 1: emojis if if Queen Elizabeth went down right, I just
Speaker 1: feel like, but she had like a few like health
Speaker 1: scares too, and then like I feel like everything's like
Speaker 1: she's against a doctor's orders, going off wheel like off
Speaker 1: roading in her land rover. Okay, so she's back out
Speaker 1: in the public eye because that she had a couple
Speaker 1: of health scares. And then wasn't seen for a while,
Speaker 1: and people suspected that they were going to try and
Speaker 1: like Weekend to Bernie's Her for a couple of months
Speaker 1: until whatever. They had all the press and ceremony in alignment.
Speaker 1: But you know, just waiting for the right news day.
Speaker 1: Um alright, Uh top ten Christmas movies. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: the one way to ensure that you get talked about
Speaker 1: is put out a definitive list that makes no fucking
Speaker 1: sense whatsoever. Um, and that is what. Let's see. This
Speaker 1: is the Bend Oregon Film Alliance. Uh Bend Oregon famous
Speaker 1: for being the location of the last Black blockbuster. Um,
Speaker 1: I think when that? Whenn't that? Then? Oh yeah? Um
Speaker 1: wait why but why is it being put out by barstool?
Speaker 1: First all just made the graphic knockout between bar Stool
Speaker 1: and the Alliance and then working film Alliance like this.
Speaker 1: Uh so they're top ten Christmas movies of all time.
Speaker 1: Number one, Wonderful Life, all right, we'll go ten to one,
Speaker 1: So bad Santa, number ten. It belongs in the top ten,
Speaker 1: probably not that low. Number nine Home Alone two belongs
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Satisfied. Those are my two movies
Speaker 1: we talked about number eight, Miracle on thirty four Street
Speaker 1: Um number seven a Christmas Story? Number six, drumroll please
Speaker 1: Home Alone three? What Home Alone three is a better
Speaker 1: Christmas movie than Home Alone two? First of all, better
Speaker 1: than a Christmas Story, better than Miracle on thirty four straight?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really care about Miracle. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't either, but it seems to be a bad Santa. No.
Speaker 1: Number five l which I would agree belongs in the
Speaker 1: top you know five four? Uh, not better than Home
Speaker 1: Alone three obviously, but still a pretty good one. Uh.
Speaker 1: Number four Christmas Vacation. Uh you know, how can you
Speaker 1: vote against the charm of Chevy Chase? Uh? Number three
Speaker 1: Hold onto your butts one more time for me? Fred Clause,
Speaker 1: the fucking Vince Vaughan movie. Yes, Fred Clause number three
Speaker 1: on the on the list, beating uh National Indians, Christmas
Speaker 1: Vacation and elf. Um, look what they did to us?
Speaker 1: Look how they massacred my list. Whats uh? And then
Speaker 1: number two Home Alone number one, It's wonderful life. Uh
Speaker 1: you know high for Home Alone probably, but um yeah, like,
Speaker 1: but it does seem like they just did a very
Speaker 1: straightforward list of the top ten Christmas movies and we're like, wait,
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta put so we gotta people ship
Speaker 1: in here. So so let's drop that Home Alone three
Speaker 1: at number six and Fred Claws at number three. Oh
Speaker 1: that should be I think we should dabble in that
Speaker 1: like and start putting out our own just inflammatory meme
Speaker 1: lists because this guy used to work with that Playboy.
Speaker 1: He does that a lot, with those like fake maps
Speaker 1: that you see. Yeah, and it's like he's just found
Speaker 1: a niche of just like upsetting people with his fake
Speaker 1: demographic research. Yeah. No, that's I mean, it's the easiest
Speaker 1: thing in the world to do that. The smart thing
Speaker 1: they did here is do a pretty straightforward list and
Speaker 1: then so it feels like, okay, okay, what what the fuck? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but dances with Wolves in the four Yeah, hey came
Speaker 1: out during Christmas time, so deal with it all right? Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of home loan to Donald Trump's former chief of staff,
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, has agreed to cooperate with the House Panel
Speaker 1: Investigation UH into the January sex capital riot um, which
Speaker 1: of course means that he'll probably just like stonewall um
Speaker 1: or whatever. But it is, according to The New York Times,
Speaker 1: a stunning reversal for a crucial witness in the inquiry
Speaker 1: because they gotta get excited about something over there at
Speaker 1: the New York I mean sure, I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: it is something that he didn't he didn't go there.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to put me under the jail type
Speaker 1: ship um like Steve Bannon is currently on course to
Speaker 1: do that. But yeah, I'm curious. I'm very curious to
Speaker 1: know what the atmospheric forces around him are, like, Like
Speaker 1: whether it's his family being like please don't just end this, like,
Speaker 1: don't put us to a trial and ship and and
Speaker 1: trying to be a lightning rod for the political disc course,
Speaker 1: or maybe he has maybe he's like funk that the
Speaker 1: bills to fight this case fuck that. And I know
Speaker 1: Trump's not giving me any money and the maga world
Speaker 1: doesn't funk with me enough that I can go out
Speaker 1: there and be like help me. So I don't know. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back. Santa's are trending because we gotta Santa's shortage.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not just the supply chain, folks. Every
Speaker 1: everything is conspiring to make this the worst Christmas ever,
Speaker 1: exactly you're looking at your looking at the stats right now,
Speaker 1: and you're crying because Christmas is going to be ruined.
Speaker 1: They're saying. When I say they, I mean higher. Santa
Speaker 1: dot Com is telling us that the number of available
Speaker 1: of available Santa's for Higher is down ten while the
Speaker 1: demand and for Santa's is up one hundred twenty one
Speaker 1: per cent. What are we going to do? Damn? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's still still seems like Santa's were probably very much
Speaker 1: over supplied last year. Like this seems like if you
Speaker 1: if you actually look at the numbers, there was probably
Speaker 1: very little demand for Santa's last year mid pandemic, since
Speaker 1: no stores were open. And then so yeah, of course
Speaker 1: demand for Santa's would be up by uh you know,
Speaker 1: at least double uh maybe I'm a little surprised not
Speaker 1: more than that. And then the number of Santa's available
Speaker 1: for a higher being down ten percent seems like a
Speaker 1: small number when you think about the number of Santa's
Speaker 1: normally available is stupid. Uh fuck Fox News but also
Speaker 1: Fox Santa. Yeah yeah, wow, you heard it right here.
Speaker 1: Yeah ship, you didn't get me? Uh man, that dupe
Speaker 1: me one. That's all it took. Otually the daily Zeygeist
Speaker 1: is the one place that Santa draws the line in
Speaker 1: terms of watching and listening. Uh, it's the one thing
Speaker 1: he doesn't listen to. It's like, sorry, you guys, can't
Speaker 1: do it. Not if I said, it's it's too far
Speaker 1: left for him ever since they got woke, can't handle
Speaker 1: it anymore. Could you imagine? It sounds like a movie
Speaker 1: to where like in a pandemic, like elderly men who
Speaker 1: play Santa like are at a like a like a
Speaker 1: rare you know, kind of character actor. And then like
Speaker 1: they sit and all like have all these six children
Speaker 1: sit in their laps, and then like we lose and
Speaker 1: then we lose all of our Santa's. Could imagine because
Speaker 1: they're all catching COVID. Yeah, like that would be wild.
Speaker 1: Not say I'm interested in that, but like if that
Speaker 1: would alter Santa culture. And then like no, man, remember
Speaker 1: the Christmas of twenty two. Yeah, I mean it's hard
Speaker 1: to I remember when I was young. So now there's
Speaker 1: this late, this more recent trend of people whose life's
Speaker 1: goal it is to play Santa like they're they they
Speaker 1: view it as a calling, and they are old, jolly,
Speaker 1: rotund men with big white beards, and I used to
Speaker 1: get Santa's. I used to sit on the lap of
Speaker 1: Santa's that were clearly thirty something. Uh. You know people
Speaker 1: with drinking problems who you know had did not have
Speaker 1: white hair. Uh, their their masks were not sticking to
Speaker 1: their face because they had the sweat. And I, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, to get kids these days don't know, how
Speaker 1: could they have a mile? So what you're describing it
Speaker 1: sounds like bad Santa. I think that's what I was.
Speaker 1: I do get most of my memories from But then
Speaker 1: you know, they were kind of a good guy, even
Speaker 1: though they were a little complicated. Like I was getting
Speaker 1: bullied at school at the time and Santa stuck up
Speaker 1: for me and kind of made sure I got home safe.
Speaker 1: And I was living with my grandma at the time.
Speaker 1: Has always said I have trouble distinguishing my memories and
Speaker 1: Billy Bob Thornton movies. So I have I remember when
Speaker 1: you said the whole plot of that movie bandits as
Speaker 1: and then I have this ship bag brother who U
Speaker 1: always trying to rob banks? Uh, also sling ble just
Speaker 1: doing all the hits. M did you ask you for
Speaker 1: French fried potatoes right pretators? Yeah, fed pritators. Parague A growl,
Speaker 1: who is the new Jack Dorsey and whose name I
Speaker 1: will eventually uh presumably pronounced correctly um is has drawn
Speaker 1: the ire of conservatives um because he once tweeted and
Speaker 1: I quote, if they're not going to make a distinction
Speaker 1: between Muslims are extremists, then why should I distinguish between
Speaker 1: white people and racists? And people are outraged? Uh there,
Speaker 1: And then the sort of mainstream take seems to be okay, guys,
Speaker 1: he was quoting a satirical show called The Daily Show, okay,
Speaker 1: and that was just a quip. But like, I don't
Speaker 1: understand how that's a controversial statement, like, yeah, that's that,
Speaker 1: that's the same, very very similar. What comparisons there? What
Speaker 1: the fuck is if anyone who's Muslim is an extremist?
Speaker 1: And but then you have a problem with even saying
Speaker 1: that like that white people who are racist, do do
Speaker 1: everything in your power to not describe it as racist. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: parague at parague A. I feel bad that he couldn't
Speaker 1: even get his first name without the last initial as
Speaker 1: a handle as the fucking CTO of Twitter or now
Speaker 1: a CEO. But he was probably he was clearly a
Speaker 1: Ringer who they brought in. He wasn't like that there
Speaker 1: on board, Yeah, got there late because um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is classic um you know, uh conservative
Speaker 1: and just generally white people in modern America, where they
Speaker 1: think being called racist is worse than anything that they
Speaker 1: could call someone who's accusing them of racism. Like I
Speaker 1: think that's the being a terrorist. Yeah, that's worse than
Speaker 1: being called a terrorist. Right, Okay, we'll make a distinction
Speaker 1: between white people and white extremists. I don't know, um,
Speaker 1: whichever way you need to go with that, Yeah, please do.
Speaker 1: But I guess again, like even like we'll talk about
Speaker 1: in tomorrow's show, there's just an inability to just be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's racism that's rampant, it's a problem. Chances are you
Speaker 1: know many people or some people that are racist, and
Speaker 1: yet what and yet we're here to say everything's fine
Speaker 1: and dandy, Okay, okay. Uh. And Amazon is trending because
Speaker 1: of the great deals that were happening in stran Now
Speaker 1: they're they're trending because so we had covered the union vote.
Speaker 1: People were hopeful because uh, a warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama
Speaker 1: had a union vote coming up. Um, and the conditions
Speaker 1: were shitty there, and it was just like a blatant
Speaker 1: example of like this is a place where unionization could
Speaker 1: really help all of the people who were voting on this.
Speaker 1: And then uh it went down by a two to
Speaker 1: one margin. It was like a wipeout and you know
Speaker 1: of people voting uh no on unionization. Um. And then
Speaker 1: like the reporting started to come through, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: saying that they would make people like spend long hours
Speaker 1: at like anti union edge patian you know sessions, and
Speaker 1: then like would watch them as they filled out like
Speaker 1: the vote and you had to vote on the Amazon campus,
Speaker 1: and you know, people got the sense, okay, I would
Speaker 1: get fired if I voted against Amazon's wishes. And over
Speaker 1: the ballot you're about to tick yes or no, and
Speaker 1: they're like you're about to put the right and you're
Speaker 1: like oh and you move back to the know and
Speaker 1: they're like yeah, good, good, good good. Uh. And anyways,
Speaker 1: a local judge has ruled that yeah, this is bullshit,
Speaker 1: uh and they need to redo the election alright because
Speaker 1: all that ship is illegal what Amazon was doing. Um,
Speaker 1: well that stopped them from meddling in this next one.
Speaker 1: Only time will tell. Well, Uh, funny you should ask,
Speaker 1: because Amazon and the rw D s U, which is
Speaker 1: the union, have already restarted their campaigns the anticipation of
Speaker 1: a second election. The company has four thousands of employees
Speaker 1: to attend meetings about unions and posted science critical of
Speaker 1: unions in bathrooms. So you know that they're gonna make
Speaker 1: you pay dues, right, You'll have to pay It's like
Speaker 1: it's another bill. Never mind that through collective bargaining you
Speaker 1: you'll have a way better outcomes. But the d that's
Speaker 1: why they are all these fat cat union heads who
Speaker 1: are billionaires that you always hear about. Just take it
Speaker 1: in there for the big pay pay days. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: not uh fat cat Amazon CEOs who are inventing new
Speaker 1: forms of space travel and saying that you your work
Speaker 1: directly paid for that. So yeah, yeah, new forms of
Speaker 1: slavery too. Yeah. Innovators, innovators, some of the best, some
Speaker 1: of the best to ever do. Predatory capital was um
Speaker 1: um Alright, well, those are the things that are trending
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday, uh, the last day of November, our
Speaker 1: last recording of November. This is the last you will
Speaker 1: hear from me with a mustache looming over my mouth.
Speaker 1: It's been a pleasure hosting this show with this mustache.
Speaker 1: But I'm um, it's it's going to be behind us
Speaker 1: the next time you hear men's health is alright. Well,
Speaker 1: those are the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of
Speaker 1: the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
