Speaker 1: spiked hair. What do you say that? I think he's
Speaker 1: like chicken spaghetti at Chiolini's. Anyway, Sorry, we keep talking
Speaker 1: about I think you should leave, become cannon. Too good,
Speaker 1: too good, not too all right. I am Jack, and
Speaker 1: you are a real piece of ship. Piece used to
Speaker 1: be a real piece of ship. Oh man, I mean
Speaker 1: it's funny because it's true. Of all we've all been there.
Speaker 1: We'll be like, oh man, I fucking sucked. I know
Speaker 1: it's and it's funny when people say that, like because
Speaker 1: you talk about your growth as a person, and sometimes
Speaker 1: you're like no, no, no, like I was a piece
Speaker 1: of shit, like for real, like so unforgiving of ourselves. Right,
Speaker 1: You're like you don't understand like I had no idea
Speaker 1: of what like equity was or what patriarchy was, all
Speaker 1: kinds of ship. I was awful. I owned the necklace.
Speaker 1: I didn't wear it, but I owned it. It was bad,
Speaker 1: so you just like left it in the corner like
Speaker 1: the portrait of Dorian Gray thought about it right, right
Speaker 1: about it? Um, I don't, I don't. I probably did
Speaker 1: have a puka shell necklace. Actually, like when I was
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen, I wore a lot of fake chains, big
Speaker 1: old like like you know, shitty platinum like l O
Speaker 1: cool J and the foobu ads type jewelry. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: seen those diamonds in your anger ears from the Canary
Speaker 1: Canary diamonds I ordered out the back of the source. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where the finest diamonds are sourced for exactly from
Speaker 1: the source of the back of Double xl Or King magazine. Alright,
Speaker 1: Field of Dreams is trending, uh, Karen, knock it off
Speaker 1: the line from Field of Dreams baseball anyways. Field of
Speaker 1: Dreams is trending because it's happening. It's all happening. Uh. Yeah. Tomorrow,
Speaker 1: the White Sox will play the Yankees at the filming
Speaker 1: location for the film Field of Dreams on the Warner
Speaker 1: Brothers lot. I believe that Diresville, Iowa, Iowa Ia. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the first major league baseball game. I think that
Speaker 1: the States ever had so and but the movie still
Speaker 1: has a lot of people making their journeys out there
Speaker 1: to be like, if they build it, I will go
Speaker 1: and I am here. I have come to see this place.
Speaker 1: What are the what's the crowd situation gonna be? Like?
Speaker 1: I don't know who knows, I don't care. Let's just
Speaker 1: whoever got to go to Obama's birthday party? We'll get
Speaker 1: to go to this. Yeah, I don't know how what
Speaker 1: are the Field of Field of Dreams stands? What do
Speaker 1: those look like? I think it was just like a
Speaker 1: little bleacher Oh. I don't know. I don't care enough
Speaker 1: to know. But anyway, um, there will be some kind
Speaker 1: of stands. But there's definitely gonna be concessions. Because Guy
Speaker 1: Fieri has team done with Major League Baseball, They're like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: can you create something custom to get these people so
Speaker 1: turned up on this fucking event? And he just wanted
Speaker 1: to go with something that was just as American as
Speaker 1: uh hot dogs and apple pie. By creating the apple
Speaker 1: Pie Hot Dog Baby, which looks like a McDonald's apple
Speaker 1: pie with a little bit of hot dogs sticking out.
Speaker 1: I'm here and it's apparently I'll be hot dog with
Speaker 1: apple pie filling his dude Guy's signature bacon jam m uh.
Speaker 1: It just wrapped in a flaky pie crust and an
Speaker 1: apple mustard drizzle um and some Demarrara sugar. People. The
Speaker 1: reviews are in, people say, if this ship is good,
Speaker 1: I mean, the man knows how to slop together a banger,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, sloped together a banger. That's what he does.
Speaker 1: And I think also, there's nothing that you're gonna make
Speaker 1: it like something that's gonna be served like at a
Speaker 1: major League baseball game that is going to taste like
Speaker 1: ship like. They're going to figure out a way for
Speaker 1: it to be like as offensive as possible. Where people
Speaker 1: like book it's actually really good, it's not. They're like
Speaker 1: being like, oh, and we're gonna have tajen for the
Speaker 1: first time major league especially not it. This is perfect.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is the perfect guy to do it.
Speaker 1: He did the perfect thing with it perfectly handheld, self contained.
Speaker 1: Looks gross to me. We just love guy. This picture,
Speaker 1: which he is doing as like in association with Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball, he is wearing a Chevrolet T shirt. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just letting people know about all the all
Speaker 1: the corporate sign got synergy is what we call that. Jack. Yes,
Speaker 1: pro Publica is trending because they dropped the latest how
Speaker 1: Taxes Work when You're Rich mixtape. Um. This one shows
Speaker 1: how summer Yeah, exactly. This one shows how Trump's tax
Speaker 1: cut was shaped by billionaires and benefited them. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I actually didn't remember this, but apparently it was a
Speaker 1: big controversy on the right because Ron Johnson was not
Speaker 1: buying in to the tax cut at first, and people
Speaker 1: were like, all right, we got one, we got a
Speaker 1: good one on our side, folks. Uh. And the reason
Speaker 1: was because two of his biggest donors wanted him to
Speaker 1: push for a like more money for the pass through
Speaker 1: like the tax passed through accounts, um, And he got
Speaker 1: that and so, uh, you know, just helping out the rich,
Speaker 1: helping out the richer. Yeah. And Ron Johnson is by
Speaker 1: far one of the smoothest brains in the Senate. Um,
Speaker 1: so no surprise there. Yeah, it's just a kidney being
Speaker 1: up there. But anyways, great reporting continuing to be done
Speaker 1: by pro Publica l A vax mandate. That's something that
Speaker 1: apparently there's gonna be a handful of things that are
Speaker 1: requiring vaccination proof. Uh too. L A City council voted
Speaker 1: zero to create vaccination requirements for indoor spaces such as restaurants,
Speaker 1: movie theaters, concert venues. I am hoping this is the future, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I don't want any of this. Uh, you need
Speaker 1: to have had a negative COVID test in the last
Speaker 1: be in three days. Yeah. And also that doesn't like
Speaker 1: there is literally no benefit to that because you become
Speaker 1: symptomatic and start testing positive five days after exposure. So like,
Speaker 1: I mean, there could be some benefit, but it's just
Speaker 1: so easy for that slip through. I mean. And also
Speaker 1: I think California also became the first state I think
Speaker 1: that they're saying to mandate that teachers and school staff
Speaker 1: um are either vaccinated or submit to testing. But again,
Speaker 1: when that's why, like every fucking expert is, it's like
Speaker 1: it's don't don't do this. Schoolship is gonna be a
Speaker 1: fucking nightmare. I if the ingredients are here for a
Speaker 1: disaster is what everyone says. Yeah, I just need to
Speaker 1: make it real simple for people, it's like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't you don't have to get the vaccine. You also
Speaker 1: don't have to come to work. Yeah, um, hey you
Speaker 1: like uh you like stuff? Yeah, yeah, you just get
Speaker 1: the vaccine. Then if you like stuff, hey, if you
Speaker 1: love just sitting, if you just if you're cool just
Speaker 1: kicking it at home, watching TV all day and never leaving,
Speaker 1: then yeah, what do you do? You probably say that
Speaker 1: way anyway. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back, and the hunt for
Speaker 1: a Jeopardy host replacement for Alex Trebek has come to
Speaker 1: a official anti climatic conclusion, which with the one guy
Speaker 1: that I don't think anyone was really rooting for. I
Speaker 1: don't know too many people who were like, Oh, let's
Speaker 1: do the guy we haven't heard of with the really
Speaker 1: bland name and face, who just works for Jeopardy, who
Speaker 1: sounds like that racist comedian guy, right he so might Yeah,
Speaker 1: so Kramer is going to be the new host that no,
Speaker 1: it's the executive producer of both Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 1: Was like, hey, that's just making me. Yeah, people people
Speaker 1: love me. On Monday, we were talking about this is
Speaker 1: just how like how it's such a devious bait and switch.
Speaker 1: It felt like where they were basically parading around this
Speaker 1: diverse crew of people who might be the host. But
Speaker 1: really it seemed like the whole time they knew it
Speaker 1: was just gonna be Mike Richards and just like, let's
Speaker 1: just pretend, ma'am, let's get him, like, you know, let's
Speaker 1: get him all hopped up on this idea that we're
Speaker 1: gonna do something interesting, and now it's just Mike Richards
Speaker 1: and my ambiolic so Blossom and Cramer are now the
Speaker 1: hosts of Jeopardy. Yeah, and you know they I saw
Speaker 1: an article that was like LaVar Burton's ratings were very
Speaker 1: low for I'm like, hmm, I wonder if the executive
Speaker 1: producer could have had anything to do with the you know,
Speaker 1: putting him on a day that they know the ratings
Speaker 1: are low or you know, uh, not doing a good
Speaker 1: job promoting. Yeah, like a showrunner would have the power
Speaker 1: also over and edit to be like leave the stuff
Speaker 1: in where it looks like he's fucking up, and also
Speaker 1: let's not get let's not re up with those takes,
Speaker 1: you know, because like there was some there was some
Speaker 1: it wasn't the smoothest possible thing. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: if like you're if you're like a show runner, you're
Speaker 1: buying that booth being like, okay, like we want this
Speaker 1: to look good, yeah, but it is what it is. Yeah. Anyways,
Speaker 1: great job by him running the search for a replacement.
Speaker 1: I do love I do love when like that. This
Speaker 1: is how we got Dick Cheney as well. George W.
Speaker 1: Bush put him in charge of the search for a
Speaker 1: vice presidential candidate, and after months of intense searching, he
Speaker 1: was like, you're never gonna believe this man. Turns out
Speaker 1: I'm I'm the I'm the one, I'm the best. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyways, they're they're like it seems like they're using
Speaker 1: this as an opportunity to like expand the uh Jeopardy
Speaker 1: Universe cinematic universe, because now there's yeah, the j c U,
Speaker 1: because now there's the like main main stream or the
Speaker 1: primetime version of Jeopardy that's hosted by Blossoms. So that's cool.
Speaker 1: Run Our test is trender because there is a new documentary.
Speaker 1: This is one that I feel like I can't believe
Speaker 1: hasn't happened until now. I can't believe ESPN let this
Speaker 1: one fall through their fingers, because this documentary is coming
Speaker 1: out on Netflix. It is about the Malice in the Palace,
Speaker 1: which is one of like a handful of flash bold
Speaker 1: memories from like the last I don't know, twenty five years.
Speaker 1: I feel like that where I remember exactly where I was.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people do I remember who
Speaker 1: I was with. I remember not believing what I was seeing.
Speaker 1: You know, when you have players from the Pacers going
Speaker 1: into the fucking stands to like fucking fight and you're like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck happened? In retrospect, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I could actually explain to you quite literally what exactly happened,
Speaker 1: Like I know what was going on, but like in
Speaker 1: a way that I know every detail because I feel
Speaker 1: like I just got the foot view that like the
Speaker 1: sports pages were giving me somebody from the stands through
Speaker 1: something of ron our test. They It's really interesting that
Speaker 1: this is coming out now as we are like starting
Speaker 1: to have a second reckoning with the fact that athletes
Speaker 1: are human beings. Uh, like you know that somebody through
Speaker 1: shit at Russell Westbrook in his series with I don't
Speaker 1: know who who he was playing or what fan base
Speaker 1: definitely wasn't the Philadelphia seventy six ers because they're a
Speaker 1: notoriously well behaved crowd. But yeah, and that, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's got to be enraging to have people all around
Speaker 1: you who are just like treating you like shit, like
Speaker 1: just and endangering your safety. Anyway, somebody through a full
Speaker 1: beer that hit him while he was laying on the
Speaker 1: squirrees table and he went into the crowd and then
Speaker 1: two of his teammates kind of followed him, having his
Speaker 1: back and it was just a wild fist fight for minutes. Well,
Speaker 1: it was like happening live on TV. I hadn't remembered
Speaker 1: how fucking good run our test was at that time.
Speaker 1: He was putting up twenty five points of game, six
Speaker 1: boards seven almost two steals, and was shooting fifty cent
Speaker 1: from three and nine percent from free throw. That's wild,
Speaker 1: and he was coming off of being the All Defense
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. Yeah, there's interesting stuff like because
Speaker 1: germane O'Neil is talking about it too, and German O'Neil
Speaker 1: like became an afterthought sort of after you know, once
Speaker 1: that happened, and like I know, he's ended up playing
Speaker 1: in China and things like that. But there's some interesting
Speaker 1: stuff where he's talking about, Uh, just kind of like
Speaker 1: the mental health aspect around this and like run our
Speaker 1: test and like not knowing like someone needed help because
Speaker 1: of just at the time. That's just like not in
Speaker 1: the reality or what abulary of people. Um, and just
Speaker 1: like the idea, especially back then when like if coaches
Speaker 1: or scouts are like, no, man, he's kind of he's
Speaker 1: got he's got he's got problems, he's got headcase or something.
Speaker 1: Suddenly it's like, oh, that's just the mark of death
Speaker 1: for your career. Yeah, that's just like a liability. It's
Speaker 1: not exploring Hill help him as a person. And then
Speaker 1: cut to him. I remember, you know when he helped
Speaker 1: the Lakers secure that fucking championship and scored that three.
Speaker 1: Like afterwards he's like, shout out to my therapist, My god, wow,
Speaker 1: Like I'm saying this ship. Yeah, anyways, I'm going to
Speaker 1: watch the ship out of that. Yeah. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: And finally, Uh, the number three point nine million is
Speaker 1: trending because that is the number of people that have
Speaker 1: left their old jobs and searches something better. Uh, and
Speaker 1: what is that the last year, even the last couple
Speaker 1: of months. I mean, it's just like now there's a
Speaker 1: million job vacancies, so the hits keep coming. The pandemic
Speaker 1: is a right literally put things into focus for people
Speaker 1: and realizing what they are willing to do and not
Speaker 1: willing to do based on the wages that employers are offering. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean this sort of like soft withholding
Speaker 1: of labor for better pay. The momentum definitely isn't blunted
Speaker 1: at all. And even for all the talk of like,
Speaker 1: well you know you're gonna it's the benefits that are
Speaker 1: out here people are including. It's like no, man, people
Speaker 1: are they want better for themselves and they're looking for
Speaker 1: it there. They're not being They're not standing idly by uma.
Speaker 1: So you know, depending on what news outlet you read,
Speaker 1: they might paint that one way or the other. But
Speaker 1: um yeah, this is the evolution of what workers are
Speaker 1: willing to tolerate and won't keep continues to evolve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it is wild. The things that straightforward is
Speaker 1: like taking care of people have been made to seem
Speaker 1: unpopular by by like Fox News. And because you have
Speaker 1: the second thing, who's gonna pay for it? Who's gonna
Speaker 1: pay for it? What? Like are we have we really
Speaker 1: internalized that like old parent tactic of like when you
Speaker 1: asked for something from a parent when you were like,
Speaker 1: we're a kid who didn't have a job, like, okay,
Speaker 1: I was gonna pay for it. I don't know the
Speaker 1: billionaires who you're not taxing at all. Okay, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on? When where did you learn who the fund
Speaker 1: told you about that? You want TikTok again? You want
Speaker 1: you want left this TikTok again? Kid? All right, those
Speaker 1: are the things that are trending on this Wednesday 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
Speaker 1: kind to yourself, get the fucking vaccine, don't do nothing
Speaker 1: about white supremacy. We'll talk to you all tomorrow.
