Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Beggars
Speaker 1: Can't be Chugars uh, or to see a fungi old
Speaker 1: top and at sure Josh score Josh, I don't know, man, Okay,
Speaker 1: what is that? Fun? Guy? Bol okay? Whatever that is?
Speaker 1: Fun guy bowl? So okay, so shrooms and then took
Speaker 1: oh hell yeah all right bro hell yeah, bra, I'm Jack.
Speaker 1: That's miles. These are some of the things that are trending. Uh.
Speaker 1: Succession is trending. Season three trailer is out. I have
Speaker 1: been pretending like I'm caught up on Succession. I haven't
Speaker 1: actually seen season two for some reason. I just keep stopping,
Speaker 1: like a couple episodes in Um, even though I really
Speaker 1: like that show. Am you going to get caught up?
Speaker 1: Like you? Just like you keep I can't okay, I
Speaker 1: thought you had a faulty like applications something to keep stopping.
Speaker 1: That would be in keeping with my past couple of
Speaker 1: days where I have had tech issues at home, came
Speaker 1: to the office to record, had the same tech issues here.
Speaker 1: You're like in the shittiest Stephen King book where it
Speaker 1: must have done something but like the worst thing to
Speaker 1: happen to you. It's just like your WiFi sucks all
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, on this is important. Adam Divine talks
Speaker 1: about how he has a like a tech ghost that
Speaker 1: follows him around, but it's clear he's just like bad
Speaker 1: at technology. Yeah, that's a fine line. But like, I
Speaker 1: I know how easy it is to convince yourself of
Speaker 1: a ghost on any given thing. Like I have a
Speaker 1: curtain rod ghost, you know, And we talked about that
Speaker 1: when Langston was on Getting Near Me. I haven't put
Speaker 1: up curtain rods. That there's something and it could just
Speaker 1: be my lack of skill and lack of patients, but
Speaker 1: I call that a ghost. Um, I have an Ikea
Speaker 1: putting Ikea furniture together. Ghost? Do you are you? That?
Speaker 1: Are you? Do you? Do you have the like tormented
Speaker 1: moment where you know you you put in a pivotal
Speaker 1: piece backwards seventeen steps. Some of them are irrevocable. Man.
Speaker 1: Some of the steps are like they're like sorry, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's backwards from now on. Oh yeah, well don't like
Speaker 1: don't like push it in all the way and well
Speaker 1: now it's his ruined. It's like, well I can't even
Speaker 1: I should be able to pull that part, like oh no, no, no, noope.
Speaker 1: That's why the chair that shelf is just going to
Speaker 1: be corkboard colored from now on, unfortunately, because you put
Speaker 1: it in upside down. Anyways, Succession three, so you and
Speaker 1: super producer Brian we're talking before we started recording that
Speaker 1: this is exciting. Season two was good. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's just more like the ride. We're in for
Speaker 1: the ride now. I gotta know what's going on. Um.
Speaker 1: And you know, I only watched it because both you
Speaker 1: and Anna were always talking to each other about the
Speaker 1: first season and how much you liked and I was like,
Speaker 1: MANI watch the Succession and then I started watching it
Speaker 1: and I'm yeah, so I'm along for the ride, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm along for the ride. Yeah. It's got some of
Speaker 1: the great characters. The brother and her son in law
Speaker 1: is one of the great characters. I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of season two he has, but his season one
Speaker 1: Tom is he's a British actor who apparently he has
Speaker 1: like a greatest performance of the year, like Cameo in
Speaker 1: um that movie The Intern that was like basically about
Speaker 1: the Weinstein thing, as the Weinstein thing was happening intern
Speaker 1: at a film studio, I think, or like some sort
Speaker 1: of you know, workplace, and it turns out there like
Speaker 1: covering up all sorts of awful ship and he comes
Speaker 1: in as like the HR fixer and apparently just crushes it.
Speaker 1: But it's it. It's interesting thing that like a polite
Speaker 1: British guy has has just nailed this like version of
Speaker 1: like American corporate pathos. Right, I can't believe I want
Speaker 1: to say so much now, but you have to watch
Speaker 1: season two because it ends with a banger, which makes
Speaker 1: this you know, you know, you know how these shows
Speaker 1: that have their ship together, dude, they leave you wanting
Speaker 1: more at the finale, so you tune in for the
Speaker 1: next season and they get exactly that. Well, speaking of
Speaker 1: tuning in for the finale, Mike Lindell, you know we're
Speaker 1: all he has us all eagerly awaiting August thirteen. Yea,
Speaker 1: that's when President, my President, Donald Trump will finally be
Speaker 1: confirmed to have been president all along or re presidented
Speaker 1: uh reeseworn In. I don't know how it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I just know that by August thirteenth, right, we're gonna know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna know. And I mean and honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: he couldn't have picked a greater day than August thirteen,
Speaker 1: Friday for this to happen, even though there's no mechanism
Speaker 1: in any of our laws that allow for mid season
Speaker 1: switch up of the lead. Um where suddenly Donald Trump
Speaker 1: will be like, yep, and that's legal, and that's what happened.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, take this l because you know you lost.
Speaker 1: It's not so that's not happening. I don't well. And again,
Speaker 1: this is why we're in a very uh, you know,
Speaker 1: delicate place. I'd rather we're fucked, because there's too many
Speaker 1: people who really think this ship that Donald Trump actually
Speaker 1: had the you know, the election stolen from him. Um,
Speaker 1: So this kind of ship will keep trending. Unfortunately, so
Speaker 1: August thirteen is trending because Mike Lindell said that's the
Speaker 1: date by which we will things will have dropped. Yes,
Speaker 1: m m yep, um exactly. That's And again Maga Twitter
Speaker 1: is like they're acting like, you know, they just found
Speaker 1: out when the new you know, PS six was dropping
Speaker 1: or something like happening. But I don't know. This is
Speaker 1: such a weird sharred of maga world, the real holdouts
Speaker 1: for this version of what happens. But again I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been kicking this can down the road
Speaker 1: for months now, saying it was gonna be this this
Speaker 1: this day. But you know, yeah, I guess I think
Speaker 1: you mispronounced shark, but sorry, yeah, it is. Is there
Speaker 1: anything that they're pointing to that they're like, this judge
Speaker 1: has agreed with us, sir. It's all just it's all
Speaker 1: just you know, continuing to be I think this is
Speaker 1: Mike Lindell expertly finding a way to drum up business
Speaker 1: for his dying pillow company that has been absolutely blasted
Speaker 1: off the face of the earth because of his you know,
Speaker 1: the whole investment in perpetuating the big lie and all
Speaker 1: this because people don't aren't working with my pillow unless
Speaker 1: you are a maga head. Literally your head is maga hat.
Speaker 1: And now they're the only people that will buy your ship.
Speaker 1: So the only way what do you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: people can only have so many pillows, So he has
Speaker 1: to keep doing this ship. Because the other thing is
Speaker 1: that I see now and as I look at the
Speaker 1: trending things and I'm more focused on the right wing
Speaker 1: accounts that are sharing this, there are a few of
Speaker 1: these influencers who are on like the right wing who
Speaker 1: um are posting discount codes for my pillow along with
Speaker 1: all the trending words um with the announcement like sort
Speaker 1: for example, breaking port michaelan Dilson is the morning of
Speaker 1: August fifteen, Trump will EFFIU to be present again. He's
Speaker 1: putting every he's put everything on the line, stand with
Speaker 1: those that stand with America, support American jobs. And then
Speaker 1: it's like use code at my pillow to get six,
Speaker 1: so you know, I, okay, you're you'all gonna funk everything
Speaker 1: up for these people just because the pillow business is dying.
Speaker 1: But what example is like, it's real, it's really uh
Speaker 1: not not a lot of respect shown by the the
Speaker 1: this specific contingent of grifters for for their marks, the
Speaker 1: Trump presidency or the re election or whatever Trump's organization
Speaker 1: is that is grifting people and signing them up for
Speaker 1: multiple payments and bankrupting them and uh, this dude, it's
Speaker 1: always it's just interesting because it's always not it's like
Speaker 1: one one level deep. It's probably like it's just like hey,
Speaker 1: and you can get a free pillow if you give
Speaker 1: us your Social Security number please, because you're a patriot.
Speaker 1: Let's let's do a little sports talk Sports talk radio
Speaker 1: with the Jackdawg and what's your miracle, Miles? Miracle Miles.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Uh So we gotta get hit me
Speaker 1: with the EuroCup date. EuroCup date? Oh well, I mean
Speaker 1: right now as we speak, Spane and Italy are playing
Speaker 1: in a semifinal which is tied at nil nil. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Obviously, I won't know the result of that
Speaker 1: unless I am Biff Tanner and I have the sports
Speaker 1: and Cyclopedia that will tell me, but I don't. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that is a game that's happening. And then
Speaker 1: in the other semifinal we have England and Denmark. H Denmark, man,
Speaker 1: they've played a really solid I mean they've just been scoring.
Speaker 1: They've been doing their thing ever since Christian Erickson collapsed
Speaker 1: in that first match. That was really scary. I think
Speaker 1: that helped rally the team. That's them. Yeah, so now
Speaker 1: they're in a semifinal. Uh is he still playing? Oh no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, no no, he's he's he needed a defibrillator put
Speaker 1: in and things like that, and yeah he had a
Speaker 1: serious like you know, cardiac event. Um. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: English fans they're loving it over the weekend. They had
Speaker 1: a real handy win over Ukraine that you know, I
Speaker 1: think they gave up a little bit in the second
Speaker 1: half when they felt that the lights were fully out,
Speaker 1: so that allowed a few more easy headed goals in um.
Speaker 1: That was. That was. That was one of the few
Speaker 1: games that I watched, matches that I watched and yeah,
Speaker 1: England looks good. I mean they're like when you you know,
Speaker 1: they put the winds and losses and draws next to
Speaker 1: the t the team name when they're when they're listing
Speaker 1: these games, and like, England's just like I got a
Speaker 1: lot of ws. They they got a lot of ws,
Speaker 1: but not when they count, you know, which is the
Speaker 1: ones that get them into the final and then ultimately
Speaker 1: lifting a trophy at the end of a tournament. And
Speaker 1: I think that's what all English fans want. But they
Speaker 1: have a really good you know, for all, like they
Speaker 1: had this previous generation of players, like when Wayne Rooney
Speaker 1: was playing and Stephen Girard. You may have heard of
Speaker 1: these types of players that was like their golden generation,
Speaker 1: and now they have all these younger players to the
Speaker 1: point where like when you see people come off the bench,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, ship. That's right there. They're fucking deep
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, so they have a good shot. So
Speaker 1: you know, maybe for all the three Lions fans, I
Speaker 1: hope it comes home like you wanted to Harry Kane,
Speaker 1: absolutely massive whenever you need someone from the UK, Oh man,
Speaker 1: you from the UK. Harry Kane, absolutely massive? All right man,
Speaker 1: how did you like that? He probably loved it? Right
Speaker 1: right now? You want me to take this on video,
Speaker 1: send it to one of your cousins back home. Uh
Speaker 1: NBA Finals Game one tonight between the Phoenix Suns, who
Speaker 1: looked to be firing on all cylinders the Milwaukee Bucks,
Speaker 1: who I don't even know is Nae back but they
Speaker 1: they've you know, gutted it out even with Janice hurt.
Speaker 1: They Chris Middleton, they say shot maker baby again Janice
Speaker 1: is game time. But shout out to the cities of
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and Phoenix. Longtime coming. Phoenix had all those great
Speaker 1: Steve Nash teams that never really made it to the final. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Barkley got Barkley did make it to the finals, but
Speaker 1: you know, never won it. And or I I don't
Speaker 1: think either of them have been in the fun or Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I guess since Barkley, the Suns haven't and Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: I think it's been since like lou Al Cinder um Man,
Speaker 1: that's a minute, Yeah, it's been a little while. That was, man,
Speaker 1: I remember that the ninety three finals with Barkley and
Speaker 1: Jordan's I remember because that's when, like, I realized that
Speaker 1: that whole postseason is really when you saw some of
Speaker 1: that straight up murder ball that they would play, and
Speaker 1: it was and you knew they're like the refs damn
Speaker 1: near left their whistles in the locker room, you know,
Speaker 1: and you would see real fucking tough physical play. And
Speaker 1: I always just think back, I'm like, man, man, Dick
Speaker 1: Dick Bavetta knew how to let those let those playoff games,
Speaker 1: you know. Cook mm hm the uh that was? That
Speaker 1: was a season that I think require them to change
Speaker 1: the rule because Barkley just put his enormous ass him
Speaker 1: to people and just backed them down for like fifteen
Speaker 1: seconds until he was like a ba bisket. They're like,
Speaker 1: all right, we can't can't do that, right. It's really
Speaker 1: boring and weird to watch. Um. But anyways, UH would
Speaker 1: be dope to see Chris Paul win a title would
Speaker 1: be dope to see Janice when a title and we're
Speaker 1: going to get to see one of those things. So
Speaker 1: and I know, hey, if Chris Paul loses, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say he's cursed. Um. And I don't want him. I
Speaker 1: don't want I want him to grow out of these
Speaker 1: terrible you know, he's had such bad luck. Uh. I
Speaker 1: can't even believe I'm saying this ship anyway, Good good
Speaker 1: luck to all of them. Yeah. You it's also you
Speaker 1: think those State farm commercials are real? So you think
Speaker 1: that he's really bad luck, Like he's always turned into
Speaker 1: a b A deer broke into his house and yeah, bro,
Speaker 1: you guys talk about somebody who fears the deer. It's
Speaker 1: got bigger problems than the NBA. He's got. He's got
Speaker 1: Alfonso Riberio, Uh, trying to steal his identity. Uh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you hate you really do. Um. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back
Speaker 1: and Nicole Hannah Jones, the journalists. Uh, some major prize
Speaker 1: winner pullet Pulitzer, I think is what the good one is? That?
Speaker 1: Or a Webby. I can't remember which one it is
Speaker 1: because they're both up there. But yeah, Nicole Hannah Jones
Speaker 1: Pulitzer Winnings journalists behind the sixteen nineteen project, all the
Speaker 1: really fantastic reporting on you know, the legacy of African
Speaker 1: slavery and how it permeates to this day with many
Speaker 1: I mean again, this is you know, her work essentially
Speaker 1: was the lightening the fuse of the whole critical race
Speaker 1: theory debate because people were you know, looking at history
Speaker 1: a little more critically again and be like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is all bad. There's a lot of work to
Speaker 1: do if we're going to right the wrongs of chattel slavery. Um.
Speaker 1: If you remember the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill,
Speaker 1: they got pressed by you know, people around their state. UM,
Speaker 1: I guess the board of trustees or whatever that fancy
Speaker 1: word is for people who run a college that they
Speaker 1: were basically pressured to not you know, grant her a
Speaker 1: tenure at the university. And then they pulled it. And
Speaker 1: then people like, what the funk are you guys doing?
Speaker 1: You kidding? Who's who? Who is more? Who has more
Speaker 1: superlatives at this point than she does in regards to
Speaker 1: you know, this this like this form of study or
Speaker 1: her contributions journalistically crickets. Then they came back and they said, yeah,
Speaker 1: actually we want to offer you tenure and they said, no,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to Howard. So she's taking her
Speaker 1: talents to Howard University. Uh the wow, historically black university.
Speaker 1: You know, how has a you know that she has
Speaker 1: a good home there where people aren't going to debate
Speaker 1: the validity of her fucking journalism and the reporting on
Speaker 1: this this thing we have called American white supremacy. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, good to see, good to see her making
Speaker 1: her moves. And you know, it just sucks to see
Speaker 1: that you can go from having this one job that
Speaker 1: you think you wanted to then becoming completely soured overnight
Speaker 1: like that because people don't want history talk. Shout out
Speaker 1: to North Carolina. Really fucking that one up. Let's talk.
Speaker 1: Let's talk Paddington three. This is like a little he's
Speaker 1: a good news for film fans, Paddington fans. One of
Speaker 1: the big moments at con. Everybody's like, you know, film
Speaker 1: snobs are like, it's the glitz and glamour back at Cohn.
Speaker 1: We're seeing all these arty movies. But the real heads, no,
Speaker 1: the only thing that adders is that uh. Studio Canal
Speaker 1: announced that Paddington three will begin shooting in second quarter
Speaker 1: of two. So it's back baby at that bears humans,
Speaker 1: nine tittied draculas rejoice together. Yeah yeah. Jam Our writer
Speaker 1: pointed like was kind of meditating on why this movie
Speaker 1: is so popular. I've seen it's like it's interesting, Like
Speaker 1: I was listening to a screenwriter talk about how this
Speaker 1: is a cool movie to like, is Paddington too? Um?
Speaker 1: And then I've heard other smart people who haven't seen
Speaker 1: Paddington to just be like, I'm so tired of hearing
Speaker 1: people talking about Paddington too, like it's just a a
Speaker 1: stupid movie or like it's a just a normal movie.
Speaker 1: What like, what is it about that movie that people
Speaker 1: love so much? What are they say? What is the reason?
Speaker 1: Like they're saying this the new Chinatown just like it's
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like the like people of
Speaker 1: like it's fun too. It's a it's a fun movie
Speaker 1: that like people think is interesting to like basically, so
Speaker 1: China Town is a little bit more down the middle.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of another example. Like when you
Speaker 1: said stripped writer, I thought like this is what they
Speaker 1: will be talking about when Robert McKee updates story, he
Speaker 1: will take out the references of Chinatown and will acknowledge
Speaker 1: the daft screenwriting of Paddington two. I think he was saying, like,
Speaker 1: it's like characters will talk about it in a movie. Uh,
Speaker 1: they'll be like I love Paddington too, And that's how
Speaker 1: you know that that like it's a personality type Yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 1: Uh you know. Jam was pointing out that like there's
Speaker 1: a Paddington I guess Paddington one, which I haven't seen.
Speaker 1: I've only seen Paddington. I've only seen one. Together, we
Speaker 1: can have a conversation with the bear Paddington is like
Speaker 1: an immigrant, and that that movie came out during bregsit
Speaker 1: and like even when the story started, this is actually
Speaker 1: like really heartbreaking. But Jam pulled this detail that the
Speaker 1: original author, Michael Bond, created the character after watching evacuate
Speaker 1: children passed through Reading station from London during the Blitz,
Speaker 1: Like so they had to be like broken away from
Speaker 1: their family, and they all had a label around their
Speaker 1: neck with their name and address on and on it
Speaker 1: in a little case of or package containing all their
Speaker 1: treasured possessions. And he was like, that's the saddest thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen what would like a whimsical version of
Speaker 1: that being. So he created Paddington, who is like an
Speaker 1: orphaned immigrant bear child who goes and lives with a
Speaker 1: family in London, and like people at the time, people
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun with Uh. An immigration lawyer
Speaker 1: was like Padding two would have no chance at like
Speaker 1: getting citizenship in the UK at this point because of
Speaker 1: like the anti immigration backlash Brexit movement that was that
Speaker 1: was happening. Uh. And then Paddington Too, you know, he's
Speaker 1: uh still still an immigrant, is unjustly uh you know,
Speaker 1: imprisoned uh. And all these like kind of real uh
Speaker 1: stressors he encounters are the people in the movie encounter.
Speaker 1: But then everybody, including the villain, like has a pleasant
Speaker 1: like resolution umm, which is kind of kind of nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's working on something else on our hearts. I feel
Speaker 1: like Paddington Too is the best Wes Anderson movie I've
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, which is uh, Miss Anderson just like
Speaker 1: cursing all the Paddington tutay to do the out out
Speaker 1: West me. Yeah, they kind of did it, kind of
Speaker 1: nailed it because it's like has all the things that
Speaker 1: are appealing and like lovely about his movies, but without
Speaker 1: the like self reverential kind of smirk. Yeah, bless Paddington
Speaker 1: and the empathy of that film. Alright, well, those are
Speaker 1: the things that are trending on this fine Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: We are back tomorrow with a whole episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: we will talk to you all tomorrow. I
