Speaker 1: if Hank Scipio. Um, I'm Jack. That's Miles um, and
Speaker 1: here are some things that are a trend in right
Speaker 1: now on this Thursday afternoon. Um, the Sons are trending
Speaker 1: because we got to deal with the orbit of these Sons,
Speaker 1: not sweep the nuggets. What good? They look good. They
Speaker 1: look good, But we've as we've seen first two games
Speaker 1: of a series doesn't mean found out real quick about
Speaker 1: these these young men over there from Phoenix. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: they're good. It's cool to see Chris Paul still out
Speaker 1: there doing it even though he's a six ft point
Speaker 1: guard who's like over the age of what is he
Speaker 1: like thirty five something like that. Yeah, Yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch. Um, it's not fun for me
Speaker 1: to watch, per se. I prefer the other series to
Speaker 1: watch because I'm I'm you know, out here and fully
Speaker 1: invested in their downfall. But I'm not gonna lie that. Um.
Speaker 1: There's like this viral clip of this young Phoenix Suns fan.
Speaker 1: This kid is like just losing it in the stands
Speaker 1: and he's like trying to rip his shirt off, but
Speaker 1: he's like eleven and he doesn't have the strength and
Speaker 1: probably his parents like, you better not rip that shirt
Speaker 1: I just bought you. And then so he opts for
Speaker 1: like taking it off and just screaming like Laska. And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I can see how pure this young
Speaker 1: fans energy is and you put a smile on my
Speaker 1: face despite it being for a team that the brand,
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns brand is so strong right now with
Speaker 1: the court side with Guy Ritchie, I mean, like that's
Speaker 1: just what It's such a perfect celebrity corollary for the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns and this young yeah, and this My friend
Speaker 1: Todd text me like right when it came on, he
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, that is couldn't be more perfect. U.
Speaker 1: But the this this young man also you know, and
Speaker 1: the people in the background, it just feels like Phoenix
Speaker 1: up in there. Um, And it's just really cool. They
Speaker 1: were they were one of the worst teams last year,
Speaker 1: not not definitely weren't even on anybody's radar, and now
Speaker 1: they are a a problem as as Charles Barkley called
Speaker 1: Tree young. Um. Yeah, well, you know, good luck to y'all, um,
Speaker 1: keep it over there. Yeah, celebrate. Wait, so you said
Speaker 1: you are officially rooting against the Clippers. I'll always be rooting.
Speaker 1: I'm never for the Clippers. So yeah, but that's just
Speaker 1: how it is. You. That's what's great about I always
Speaker 1: you always have to have teams you just dislike because
Speaker 1: your allegiance. You know, I just strongly dislike Tottenham Hotspur
Speaker 1: because of my allegiance to Arsenal. The same thing goes
Speaker 1: with the Clippers, just because I think I grew up
Speaker 1: with I'm like, I grew up in a Laker of household.
Speaker 1: My you know, my dad grew up in at like
Speaker 1: born here, like we're Angelino's, So Lakers is like at
Speaker 1: our core being. And when you meet people that are
Speaker 1: Clippers fans, like what what? Why? Like? What? They all? Right?
Speaker 1: Do you? Whatever? Is it usually transplants? Is that? What? No?
Speaker 1: I have one friend man who grew up here, born
Speaker 1: from here, and chose the Clippers just because he hated
Speaker 1: that the rest of us were working with the Lakers. Right,
Speaker 1: that makes sense? I mean I respect that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I respect it, But like I said, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear about it. Um. But the
Speaker 1: best thing is I remember back in the day, we
Speaker 1: used to go to Clippers games because those are the
Speaker 1: cheapest Lakers games you could go to. Is when they
Speaker 1: played the Clippers. Uh what was the Clippers home game?
Speaker 1: Because Lakers home game tickets at the Stable Center were
Speaker 1: just like astronomically more expensive. So the way we were
Speaker 1: able to go get kicked. Uh, you know, get tickets
Speaker 1: to those games, whereas the Clippers home games. And I
Speaker 1: remember we all went and it was like a game
Speaker 1: where Derek Fisher hit a buzzer beater to beat the
Speaker 1: Clippers and we're all like, my friends looking mad, it's
Speaker 1: your home game that but yeah, you know we'll see. Well.
Speaker 1: I am rooting for the Clippers both because you know,
Speaker 1: I'm in l a transplant with no real like allegiances
Speaker 1: one way or another other than two parts of the organization.
Speaker 1: But my dad's homies with one of the one of
Speaker 1: the coaches with the Clippers. Uh, And it is fun
Speaker 1: to root for Kauai Leonard Man. That is. Yeah, after
Speaker 1: him taking my heart out and just tearing it into
Speaker 1: while making unbroken eye contact with me a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, it's kind of it's kind of nice to
Speaker 1: be back in the good graces Tuban. We're We're Tuban
Speaker 1: again and he's back. Jeffrey Tuban is back talking out
Speaker 1: loud on television again after masturbating on a zoom call.
Speaker 1: Lead That was pretty recent, right for some ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: last year during the pandemic. I'll play this clip for you.
Speaker 1: He's on CNN and Alice in Camerata, Alison Camearata, is
Speaker 1: interviewing him. They make this poor lady talk to him
Speaker 1: about like they're trying to clear the air based because
Speaker 1: he's back on CNN. They're like, we're not gonna several
Speaker 1: relationship as our chief legal analysts because it takes are
Speaker 1: too good. But this is the cringe eest like hand
Speaker 1: holding through. You got caught jerking off on zoom like
Speaker 1: pr like revival thing I've ever seen. Um, And we'll
Speaker 1: play a bit of this for you now just so
Speaker 1: you can understand how cringe e the whole thing is.
Speaker 1: And I have not seen this, so be honest, help yourself, okay. Um.
Speaker 1: In October, you were on a zoom call with your
Speaker 1: colleagues from the New Yorker magazine. Everyone took a break
Speaker 1: for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating
Speaker 1: on camera. You were subsequently fired from that job after
Speaker 1: twenty seven years of working. Why are they doing in there?
Speaker 1: We don't even know what you're talking. You're not you're
Speaker 1: not allowed back on, but okay, go oh, we're not done.
Speaker 1: Go on, please keep describing this awful situation. And you
Speaker 1: since then have been on leave from Sienna. Do I
Speaker 1: have all that right? M you got it all right?
Speaker 1: Sad to say? Okay, so let's start there. Well, to
Speaker 1: quote Jay Leno, what the hell were you thinking? Well,
Speaker 1: obviously I wasn't thinking very well or very much. Um,
Speaker 1: it was something that was inexplicable to me. I think
Speaker 1: one point I wouldn't because nothing is really in my defense.
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was on the call. I didn't
Speaker 1: think other people could see me. Oh okay, okay, even
Speaker 1: though it says this isn't this isn't a defense, but
Speaker 1: I'd like to make a point. You think that's a defense.
Speaker 1: That's why you keep saying it. You couldn't just be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the dumbest shit I've ever done in my life.
Speaker 1: I pretty much threw everything away because I was impulsive
Speaker 1: or what anyway, But go on, go off, King about
Speaker 1: how I didn't know anyone was on the call. You
Speaker 1: thought that you had turned off your camerarecked. I thought
Speaker 1: that I had turned off to zoom call. Now that's
Speaker 1: not a defense. This was deeply moronic and indefensible. But
Speaker 1: I mean that that is part of that. That is
Speaker 1: part of the story. Okay, So now let me get
Speaker 1: into the rest of the story. Okay, So now what
Speaker 1: was I watching at the time? Great question, Allison. So
Speaker 1: I was navigating to porn hub dot com, the website, like,
Speaker 1: where is this going? What is the point of all this?
Speaker 1: Because it's deeply uncomfortable, and they acted like he like
Speaker 1: he like greeted the queen incorrectly or something like that
Speaker 1: is his his vibe is just all right. So I
Speaker 1: had a little oopsidais ms. Uh I can explain it?
Speaker 1: And there's no way there's no explaining it, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: I really, So what do we do? What is f
Speaker 1: duck or making us do? Right now? The I would
Speaker 1: they make that poor woman have that conversation two talk
Speaker 1: about someone masturbating uh with them right there as an
Speaker 1: invitation for them to then talk about their own masturbation. Uh.
Speaker 1: It seems cruel and unusual. Um yeah, I I don't know,
Speaker 1: like I get there's one conversation like it's obviously do
Speaker 1: you do what you want with your body in the
Speaker 1: privacy home? But like you're you're being you're committing lewd
Speaker 1: act on like a in a work call, like you
Speaker 1: you can't even compartmentalize jolly time from zoom serious time.
Speaker 1: Um but yeah, okay cool. So if if you need,
Speaker 1: if you need a boss who's down with second chances,
Speaker 1: holler at CNN. He also has the energy of somebody
Speaker 1: who believes they've aced every job interview they've ever been on.
Speaker 1: He's just like, I'm so glad you asked me that, Allison,
Speaker 1: And it's really uh, I mean, uh, dodo brain over here, right?
Speaker 1: But also, uh, what what is this famous Jay Leno
Speaker 1: quote that none of us have ever heard of? What
Speaker 1: the heck were you thinking you would do? Like why
Speaker 1: even again, all these attempts to like soften like sort
Speaker 1: of make uh you know, just I don't know, I cool.
Speaker 1: So he's he's back, y'all tupins back. Yeah, shout out
Speaker 1: to that man. Kim jong un is trending, uh because
Speaker 1: he's looking slender up because he was hidden for like
Speaker 1: a month and a half, and you know, half the
Speaker 1: time they're like, is this him? Is it an impersonator? Like,
Speaker 1: what's going on with him? There's all this speculation about
Speaker 1: his health. He came out looking thinner, and because again,
Speaker 1: you know, it's the as colloquially known as the hermit
Speaker 1: Kingdom where you don't know what like all you can
Speaker 1: do is kind of presume to know what's going happening
Speaker 1: on within the borders there that it's like basically turned
Speaker 1: into two camps of thought in terms of foreign policy,
Speaker 1: one which is like, well, if he's sick and lost
Speaker 1: all this weight, we better buckle up because there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a power vacuum in this country. We don't know
Speaker 1: who's who's making moves behind his back or what's going
Speaker 1: to happen, or who we're dealing with if something's actually
Speaker 1: going on with his health. The other one is, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe he he you know, for his health, lost a
Speaker 1: little weight because he wants to have some more longevity
Speaker 1: as a leader. And then foreign policy were like, that's
Speaker 1: I guess the better option because at least we know
Speaker 1: who we're dealing with in that respect. But that's like
Speaker 1: it's just wild how this is like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: lost weight? Is he dying? Is he healthy? What's I
Speaker 1: mean for born policy? And that's why it's just a
Speaker 1: light on the internet. Is there anybody saying that he
Speaker 1: is a different person? Now? No, not quite, you know
Speaker 1: if anyone's gotten to the Dave theory. Okay, So I'm
Speaker 1: just looking. So the Guardian uh put together put an
Speaker 1: image where he could slide back and forth between him
Speaker 1: June and July, and he looks like a much younger
Speaker 1: uh person in June. Maybe he just needed some rest
Speaker 1: and relaxation and get a little bit of sun. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he's also smoking a cigarette in the in the shutout. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm losing weight on my own terms, man um. Elden
Speaker 1: Ring is trending. I don't know what that is because
Speaker 1: it's not on switch good job. I was gonna say first, no,
Speaker 1: Elden Campbell did not lose his Lakers Championship ring. And
Speaker 1: that's not why Elden Ring and trending is because this
Speaker 1: new game Jack it's up. It's so it's a collaboration
Speaker 1: from Bandai Namco, who you know make great games. George R. R.
Speaker 1: Martin is the creative force within the game, and everyone's like, yo,
Speaker 1: how do we not know it? Like George R. Martin
Speaker 1: is real good about not talking about anything, and it
Speaker 1: was just unveiled at this thing. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people, you know, had theories and things about this game,
Speaker 1: but the trailer is just so like out there wild,
Speaker 1: like it looks like you can I guess you can
Speaker 1: see like sort of the Martin influence. But because it's
Speaker 1: a video game, like visually, they can do so many
Speaker 1: other things that would probably be end up being like
Speaker 1: a multi billion dollar film. Um, but yeah, everybody's very
Speaker 1: excited for it. Now. Are we at a point where
Speaker 1: you can trust video game trailers now? Because I feel
Speaker 1: like that was always a thing back when I was
Speaker 1: paying attention to, uh trailers. I I just gaming so
Speaker 1: often now that I don't uh that I don't even
Speaker 1: look at the trailers, but uh the Yeah, you used
Speaker 1: to get burned by these trailers that would be like
Speaker 1: much better graphics. They would be showing you stuff that
Speaker 1: it was like a leaps beyond what was we were
Speaker 1: capable of, and then it would just be either like
Speaker 1: a cut scene or you know, it just wasn't wasn't
Speaker 1: what we were I mean, we're still that's still much
Speaker 1: of possibility, especially when you're talking about like current gen consoles,
Speaker 1: like the game, this game is not gonna look the
Speaker 1: same on PS four as it does on PS five, um,
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're always going to show you the absolute
Speaker 1: best version, um, whether they're you know, cut scenes or
Speaker 1: renderings that are like using processors that most of us
Speaker 1: don't have and the concis we use. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, like now that like a lot of these
Speaker 1: systems are getting much more robust in terms of like
Speaker 1: their computing power, I think that gap will begin to
Speaker 1: tighten up. But yeah, you know, it's still a bit
Speaker 1: of a fantasy for sure. And speaking of fantasy, well
Speaker 1: that was also taking place enough in the fantasy genre.
Speaker 1: And but there's a new movie on Netflix that it
Speaker 1: sounds like it would be like a fun kind of
Speaker 1: not hate watch, but like watch and laugh at. It's
Speaker 1: called Awake, um, and the premises would like it's a
Speaker 1: post apocalyptic world where people can't sleep and so people
Speaker 1: just get I guess like drunker like as the as
Speaker 1: the movie goes along, I don't know, it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be very bad because you're like the exhaustion from the
Speaker 1: Sleep Your brand is just devolving over the course of days. Um.
Speaker 1: The some of the reviews everything seen the Guardian foot
Speaker 1: Awake review Netflix's bird Box Light thriller is a real snooze.
Speaker 1: One star. Damn. I mean I like the idea, Like,
Speaker 1: I like, it's such a high thought as a film.
Speaker 1: Everybody on earth couldn't sleep becauld you imagine, like how
Speaker 1: long would that last before everything like falls apart? Because
Speaker 1: you and it's like some dudes like man, because I'm
Speaker 1: barely getting sleep now with the kids, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? That was everybody in three minutes. This is
Speaker 1: definitely written by a new parent probably. Um. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: just seems like a very hard thing too. I could
Speaker 1: see this maybe being a novel, but being a movie.
Speaker 1: It's just like people just look like shit and make
Speaker 1: bad decisions and fall like I I don't know what
Speaker 1: what you would do with that necessarily. Yeah. A Sweet Tooth,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, looks pretty good. Uh. The New
Speaker 1: Loki Show is supposed to be very good. Uh so
Speaker 1: all things that you can stream, and of course we
Speaker 1: got that wreck from d v K earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: what Invincible Invincible and watching it. Yeah, it's actually it's
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like almost the first episode, but it's there's
Speaker 1: like some real, like emotional type ship in there that
Speaker 1: is is like really interesting to see, especially an animated thing,
Speaker 1: where like there's clearly this tension between this father and
Speaker 1: son and but mapping like the superhero stuff on top
Speaker 1: of it is it's it's cool, it's cool. I don't
Speaker 1: want to keep watching, though, I was you know that
Speaker 1: when dvks like you gotta watch it. Um, I respected
Speaker 1: him immediately and checked it out that night. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep going. I am reading a novel that
Speaker 1: I hold in my hands made out of paper for
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, called The Time
Speaker 1: Machine Did It by Schwartzwelder the based off of that
Speaker 1: New Yorker interview with him. He's like the guy who wrote, uh,
Speaker 1: some of the best Simpsons episodes, And it's you know,
Speaker 1: I laugh out loud pretty frequently, which not not many
Speaker 1: novels really do that. So yeah, I'm sure it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel it feels very Swartzwelding. And yes, there's the main
Speaker 1: camera character, like the private Eye. Main character is like
Speaker 1: if Jake from Chinatown was crossed with Homer Simpson. Um,
Speaker 1: it's pretty fucking funny, all right. Yeah, it's just great.
Speaker 1: I love some comedy pros and I haven't like really
Speaker 1: read much of it since uh early cracked days. Um,
Speaker 1: you know so good. I'm glad you're reading. You're reading
Speaker 1: with your eyes again, yeah, in your hands, hands and
Speaker 1: by that, Mike, I'm making my kids reading. And you're like,
Speaker 1: do the voices this time and tick on my back.
Speaker 1: All right. Those are some of the things that are
Speaker 1: trending on this Thursday. We are back tomorrow with the
Speaker 1: whole last episode of the shows. Until then, be kind
Speaker 1: to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the fucking
Speaker 1: back scene, don't do nothing about what supremacy, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
