Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Pulture Sites.
Speaker 1: I am Jack, You are Miles? Was that was that
Speaker 1: on the list that was sent along the snow? Okay,
Speaker 1: well that is a that's an original, uh short show title.
Speaker 1: I am Jack, Your Miles is already season um and
Speaker 1: I'm Jack. Go on, all right, here's some ship that
Speaker 1: is infinite loop um and that's Jack. Okay. Uh. The
Speaker 1: Yankees are trending. I guess this is an ongoing thing.
Speaker 1: But they have a radio announcer who is bad at
Speaker 1: his job and he did a call on um it
Speaker 1: was zero zero in the biggest game of the year,
Speaker 1: them versus their rival, the Red Sox. And guy gets
Speaker 1: up cranks a high fly ball and he got real,
Speaker 1: real confused, standing goes keep left. It is high. That
Speaker 1: is far bird is god out of the ballpark? He
Speaker 1: stan Tonian home run. Now what did what did I
Speaker 1: do wrong? What did I see wrong? He's at first base,
Speaker 1: so I've done wrong? What did I see wrong? There?
Speaker 1: You know? I know that feeling being at a baseball
Speaker 1: game and thinking, oh, that one's gone and then it's
Speaker 1: like an infield pop up. She was not at the game,
Speaker 1: by the way. He was watching on TV because of
Speaker 1: COVID precautions or protocols, I think, but he just looked.
Speaker 1: He saw Mike stand just crush a fucking ball. But
Speaker 1: then for good he's at Fenway where there's a little
Speaker 1: thing called the Green Monster, and it didn't clear it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was a single, yeah, which is yeah,
Speaker 1: um is it like, what's like the rules with that
Speaker 1: with the Green Monster? I mean nothing, It's just that
Speaker 1: That's one of the fun things about baseball is that
Speaker 1: each park has a different you know, it's a it's
Speaker 1: definitely short, like so that one might not have even
Speaker 1: been gone in like most ballparks, but it's short. It's
Speaker 1: just really tall, right right, right, Yeah, there's oh because
Speaker 1: of the field. They're just saying based on that, without it,
Speaker 1: there would be way more home runs than would be
Speaker 1: in at another field, right yeah, I think, well it's
Speaker 1: just higher, right, It's higher but shorter. So it's if
Speaker 1: you crush one that is like still rising when it
Speaker 1: hits the Green Monster, like, yeah, that would have been
Speaker 1: gone and almost any park. But anyways, very very funny,
Speaker 1: very probably not funny for Yankees fans who were watching.
Speaker 1: Ultimately could have used that home run because they lost
Speaker 1: to their rivals, and that's how their season ended. And
Speaker 1: then the Dodgers are even though they had like you know,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought they were the
Speaker 1: best team in baseball this year. They have one game
Speaker 1: and a couple hours here to decide if they are
Speaker 1: eliminated from the postseason playing the Cardinals. Yeah, who are
Speaker 1: the They're playing the hottest team in baseball. So it's
Speaker 1: a it's a fun wrinkle that they've added, where like
Speaker 1: the playoffs kick off with a single elimination game and
Speaker 1: it just sucks for for anybody whose team is involved
Speaker 1: in that game. There's another reason the Dodgers were trending
Speaker 1: because the FEDS think that there was this guy in
Speaker 1: the background of a Dodger game in sixteen who has
Speaker 1: been like a fugitive since. Wow, like he fled right
Speaker 1: before he's about to do it, Like he like he
Speaker 1: got like millions of dollars like out of his like
Speaker 1: fraud scheme. And then people like showing this like cut
Speaker 1: of like, you know this guy at the Dodger game.
Speaker 1: I think this is this guy we're looking for from So,
Speaker 1: you know, Dodger games just tend to be places where
Speaker 1: all kinds of judicial occurrences occur. Yeah, Letitia Right is
Speaker 1: trending who plays Sure and the Black Panther franchise. I
Speaker 1: guess now she's apparently making some anti vax comments on set,
Speaker 1: which was the thing that happened last year and she
Speaker 1: got in trouble for and now it's kind of ongoing.
Speaker 1: It's becoming a thing. Yeah, and I wonder if I
Speaker 1: don't know, do they have a line there? What do you?
Speaker 1: And this is the other thing. Hollywood also needs a
Speaker 1: vaccine reckoning too, because here's the other part of that
Speaker 1: whole thing is that you it's not just it's not
Speaker 1: it's one thing when like I think athletes are like, well,
Speaker 1: we're we're the ones maskless on the core or on
Speaker 1: the field or whatever, so we can take that risk.
Speaker 1: But like when you're working on a set, the way
Speaker 1: sets are now having to be run because of COVID,
Speaker 1: like with different zones and how different departments like who
Speaker 1: interacts with who to just limit any kind of you know, transmission.
Speaker 1: So many people are at risk. But yet it's Hollywood,
Speaker 1: so people are like there, but there we make money
Speaker 1: off of them. And it's different than I guess sports
Speaker 1: leagues where we think we own the people that play
Speaker 1: in it, but it's just a bit of a different
Speaker 1: energy in handling it in Hollywood. Yeah, let's let's cover
Speaker 1: a couple of stories of just Republicans sort of jockeying
Speaker 1: for position to be the next, you know, Republican candidate
Speaker 1: if Trump doesn't come through. Up first, we have Mike Pence,
Speaker 1: who's starting to make the rounds. He appeared on Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity's Fox Show and suggested that news outlets ongoing focus
Speaker 1: on the deadly US capital riot was just an attempt
Speaker 1: to distract from the Biden administrations failed agenda, and they
Speaker 1: want to use that one day to try and demean
Speaker 1: the character and intention of seventy four million Americans. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: what's his recollection of that day? Yeah, so that's what So.
Speaker 1: Republican Joe Walsh from Illinois, who you know, started out
Speaker 1: as a I think a Trump supporter but has now
Speaker 1: becoming pretty came out and said, no, Mike, we don't
Speaker 1: focus on January six to demean Trump supporters. Mike Pence,
Speaker 1: your life was in danger. We focus on January six
Speaker 1: to make sure it never happens again, which I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people were making that point my life
Speaker 1: in danger. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because you know, it seems like he's trying to run
Speaker 1: because he said some ship like that him in UM
Speaker 1: Trump were like on good terms when everything we know
Speaker 1: of the reporting from JAM six on was like ice
Speaker 1: out like it was, there was no warmth. But I
Speaker 1: guess if you're running, and you know, funk, I need
Speaker 1: this guy's fucking sign off, or at least need him
Speaker 1: to not actively call me names in public, changes your calculus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's uh take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back and talk about another potential candidates. Very different approach,
Speaker 1: and we're back. And Nicki Hayley went up at the
Speaker 1: U Ronald Reagan Center UM and and gave a speech
Speaker 1: that was all sorts of clash of civilization ship, talking
Speaker 1: about large portion of our people are plagued by self doubt.
Speaker 1: Like so she was doing the like clash of civilization
Speaker 1: straight up, like white supremacy wild ship that like Neo
Speaker 1: CON's we were really into. I feel like she's kind
Speaker 1: of a throwback to the Bush administration. But then she's
Speaker 1: also doing like a Reagan thing where she's saying like
Speaker 1: that the only thing, our only problem is self doubt
Speaker 1: and you know, hatred of America. It's a pandemic, much
Speaker 1: more damaging than any virus, is people learning about America
Speaker 1: and reacting to the rot. Yeah, that's really what the
Speaker 1: undertone of the whole thing is. Because the whole thing
Speaker 1: she said was that like anger toward America has quote
Speaker 1: become the bedrock belief of the American left. Uh, and
Speaker 1: that Democrats quote don't even believe in America and have
Speaker 1: quote given up on America as a color blind society.
Speaker 1: Republicans cannot make the same mistake. That message was our message. First,
Speaker 1: we must once again take it to the American people.
Speaker 1: What message that America is a color blind society? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think all of it
Speaker 1: says is deep down right, She's saying people are being
Speaker 1: two are too aware of what America is. And because
Speaker 1: if you're trying to just look at it objectively, you'd say, oh,
Speaker 1: a lot of these things are bad and need improvement.
Speaker 1: That she sort of it seems like also being mischaracterized
Speaker 1: or read contextualizes being like this self hatred where people
Speaker 1: we can no longer have people who bad mouth America
Speaker 1: and will just delude themselves into believing that this is
Speaker 1: the number one place. Ever, nothing has to change, no
Speaker 1: one needs anything because everyone has everything because it's perfect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the number one value that America that has
Speaker 1: had from the start and has been admired by other
Speaker 1: countries since the beginning of the experiment is that they
Speaker 1: won't let anyone talk shit or criticize the American government.
Speaker 1: Like that's that's the main number one no dissent, Shut
Speaker 1: the funk up if you're going to criticize. So nailed it.
Speaker 1: But this feels of the two between Pence and Haley.
Speaker 1: This definitely feels more dangerous, Like, yeah, gives me more
Speaker 1: a pit in my stomach. So that's probably really just
Speaker 1: know she knows what she's doing. I mean, she's she's
Speaker 1: the smartest out of all the people who could potentially run,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. She knows that she'll have to kind
Speaker 1: of catch a draft behind Trump and then just take
Speaker 1: a left turn get some more supporters. But she knows
Speaker 1: where the where the momentum is because you know, she
Speaker 1: also went on to say like obviously she would consult
Speaker 1: with the president, you know, if the time came for
Speaker 1: her to decide if she was going to run. So
Speaker 1: it's always it's just all this deference, Big Daddy Trump. Texas,
Speaker 1: there's a there's been another school shooting in Texas. It
Speaker 1: appears to be it's not the type school shooting where
Speaker 1: somebody comes in with a long rifle and like a
Speaker 1: plan and starts, you know, shooting people. It seems like
Speaker 1: it was more of a fight that escalated into a
Speaker 1: somebody starting to shoot in a classroom, which horrifying. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Hey Texas, what do you or any
Speaker 1: any America? What are we doing here? Right? We got
Speaker 1: kids are just fucking pulling out guns and fist fights.
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I don't know. I mean, like you
Speaker 1: just see all just all just back to even the
Speaker 1: Nicki Haley thing. There's all this evidence of stress that
Speaker 1: are manifesting in the American people in just all kinds
Speaker 1: of ways. But there's just not there's not many ideas
Speaker 1: on how to relieve that stress or to try and
Speaker 1: change things. Um, but I don't know. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting because when you when when I
Speaker 1: saw the school shooting thing, I clicked an article and
Speaker 1: I got linked to like a Fox coverage of it,
Speaker 1: and immediately they showed the face of the shooter, who
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprising because it's conservative media. They were it
Speaker 1: was a it was a black teenager, so they were
Speaker 1: really again because they love to keep their narratives up. Um,
Speaker 1: it was just I don't know, I was just like
Speaker 1: everything just felt so rhythmic to just the coverage, to
Speaker 1: you know, the commentary and things like that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this is yeah, I mean was a wild time. Right
Speaker 1: now they'll like Kyle Rittenhouse become sort of a folk hero,
Speaker 1: but exactly. And then I think even now that guy
Speaker 1: is trying to explore like a self defense claim, which
Speaker 1: I don't okay, but yeah, we have guns abound in
Speaker 1: this country, and I mean it, I'm shocked. I'm shocked
Speaker 1: that you know, this isn't even even more frequent at
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, but um, maybe they'll band backpacks like
Speaker 1: they do at that one school where like there was
Speaker 1: a shooting and then kids had to go to school
Speaker 1: like the next day, like there was no like wow,
Speaker 1: that was kind of intense, Like let's all talk about this, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: tomorrow when you come to school, no one can have backpacks,
Speaker 1: No backpacks, no pants because you might be concealing gun
Speaker 1: there um, and the teachers will all be armed. Everyone
Speaker 1: will have to wear a green man like re suit.
Speaker 1: And then Adele is trending. Dell is coming to susal
Speaker 1: error Angst with a new song dropping I believe October
Speaker 1: called Easy on Me, and a new album thirty, which
Speaker 1: continues her tradition of naming albums after you know, her
Speaker 1: age when she recorded them. Um so yeah, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I think she's got a great voice.
Speaker 1: I just don't like this. She's a Tottenham supporter. Um,
Speaker 1: but that's cool, you know, not everybody's perfect, even if
Speaker 1: you have the perfect voice. Yeah. Who was dating Rich Paul? Right?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah yeah. I think recently they also were
Speaker 1: like yeah we are dating, um so a couple. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The people are like joking, They're like, yo, is Rich
Speaker 1: Paul going to sign her to Clutch Records? Um? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What what a voice on that one? Though? You know? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh man, Skyfall, I really like that song that James
Speaker 1: Bond that You're underrated Adele because I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: a huge Adele head, but like I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: I know the big Ones. Yeah, yeah, I mean, who doesn't.
Speaker 1: But there's there's something about that one. I'm like I
Speaker 1: as a Bond song. I'm like, this is one of
Speaker 1: the best Bond songs. Bat In Golden I from Tina Turners.
Speaker 1: All right, uh, those are the things that are trending
Speaker 1: on this Wednesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with the
Speaker 1: whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
Speaker 1: to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll talk to you
Speaker 1: all tomorrow. Bye bye fo
