Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of short Sighted.
Speaker 1: That's courtesy of the Discord. It is a play on
Speaker 1: short sighted, which I am, oh, shout out to my
Speaker 1: left eye only short sighted. Also also I'm Jack. That's Miles.
Speaker 1: This is what's trending. A message to you, Miles. Rudy
Speaker 1: is trending. Yeah, he he is messing around, to say
Speaker 1: the least. He mess and he found out that you
Speaker 1: can get COVID nineteen by not wearing a mask and
Speaker 1: being think of no exactly the specials would be very disappointed. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, fucked around and found out. Well I was,
Speaker 1: and thinking of your future, um, because even his son
Speaker 1: got it, Like last month, I remember his son got it.
Speaker 1: I think who was the kid who made his inauguration
Speaker 1: world famous in the night that Chris Farley played, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got it. So I think it's only a matter
Speaker 1: of time. But I think, you know, not that it's like,
Speaker 1: oh great, Rudy got COVID. It's just like all the
Speaker 1: things he's been doing the last week. He's been in
Speaker 1: like packed fucking uh hearings with people uh in Michigan.
Speaker 1: I think, most famously, like when he had that just
Speaker 1: whole you know, carnival of of liars proceed to give
Speaker 1: weird testimony. Um, there's also a time, I think if
Speaker 1: in Michigan. Also, this is a kind of a small
Speaker 1: clip where he was sitting next to someone who was
Speaker 1: like helping be like a witness to like, you know,
Speaker 1: I t Fuccory, and he asked when she's giving testimony
Speaker 1: to take her mask off, and like, knowing now that
Speaker 1: he's tested positive, it's like, you're so fucked up. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna play a little bit of it because the
Speaker 1: situation is so odd. Um, given that it has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with what the testimony is and just some
Speaker 1: weird plays. You can go to any of that satellite oucations.
Speaker 1: Mr Jacob, Yes, I don't want you to do this
Speaker 1: if you feel uncomfortable, but would you be comfortable taking
Speaker 1: a mask off so people could hear you more clearly?
Speaker 1: Can you hear me? Now? Can anyone hear it? Clearly?
Speaker 1: We can hear phim, we can we can hear you? Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: I guess so then maybe it's the accent. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: what it was doing for me. I think that's why
Speaker 1: I said the mask thing. That's like totally what that
Speaker 1: vibe was It wasn't that you were, it wasn't her mask.
Speaker 1: I think you were feeling all uncomfortable that this person
Speaker 1: was speaking with an accent, and that was somehow taking
Speaker 1: away from the bullshit that was she was talking to.
Speaker 1: So maybe the mask would overcome that it was He's
Speaker 1: an elderly man who's hearing is probably failing and realize
Speaker 1: a little bit more on reading lips than he realizes,
Speaker 1: but assumes because he is an narcissist, that he everybody
Speaker 1: must be experiencing this. He's like, you're welcome, guys, me right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, when I think of the
Speaker 1: worst person to possibly be in a room with when
Speaker 1: you were trying not to catch COVID from them, this
Speaker 1: would be the dude, not just because of that mass clip,
Speaker 1: but because of how he treats his own boogers, like
Speaker 1: that that holy water jo He was blessing himself with
Speaker 1: the sknot he like, what did you do? He like,
Speaker 1: blew his nose and the handkerchief and your chief put
Speaker 1: the dirty side out and rubbed his hands on it.
Speaker 1: Then like touched on his forehead, blessing yourself, blessing Let
Speaker 1: the blessings come in with the snot all over your face. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that's why it's weird. Even as a kid, I remember,
Speaker 1: like my mom's dad in Japan was a big handkerchief user,
Speaker 1: handkerchief user, and like handkerchiefs are pretty common like in Japan,
Speaker 1: like people just love to have little towels and handkerchief
Speaker 1: and stuff. And whenever it saw someone blow their nose,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you gotta throw that away, right, Like at
Speaker 1: that point, would get that out here? Or do you
Speaker 1: have like an insulated pocket where you could put snot
Speaker 1: rags into that you don't care because what I bet
Speaker 1: the inside of your pocket looked like god knows what? Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: unless you have some technology we're not aware of. Please
Speaker 1: um yeah, thank God for the development of disposable tissues.
Speaker 1: Shout out to or fuck it. I mean maybe I'm
Speaker 1: come up with an idea, like you need an insulated pocket.
Speaker 1: So if you're going wild with the reusable handkerchiefs, because
Speaker 1: I get it, like it is more resourceful to reuse
Speaker 1: anti microbial underwear, why aren't we blown? Doesn't work? For
Speaker 1: the record, it fails spectacularly every time. I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're thinking because I'm still stinking they said the
Speaker 1: toughest cases. Well bullshit. Um, I guess I need to
Speaker 1: call Drudy Giuliani up to represent me in this lawsuit
Speaker 1: because they're telling lies over there. Kid Cutty is trending
Speaker 1: West kid Cutty trendy. New album three out, so yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm good to see. I mean kid Cutt he has
Speaker 1: been He's been through it all. It's been on HBO,
Speaker 1: he's been terribly tied to Kanye West. He cleaved himself,
Speaker 1: came back, whatever is going, had ups and downs, but
Speaker 1: yeah he's he teased like new art for it, uh
Speaker 1: track list, So it's it's happening, which I'm excited to
Speaker 1: see what that looks. Like, what what was he doing
Speaker 1: on HBO How to Make It in America? Remember that show?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that was like he was on that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was in it and he was like just like
Speaker 1: a character in it and like whoa Scott msscutty can act.
Speaker 1: But again, I remember watching that show and that was
Speaker 1: like the beginning of the end for me because I
Speaker 1: hated it because I at the time was around the
Speaker 1: age of the people and I'm like, the economy is
Speaker 1: not working, like this for people my HBO. People don't
Speaker 1: live in impossible fucking ampartments in New York HBO. But
Speaker 1: that's every show. I don't think anyone, Like, what are
Speaker 1: the shows that actually have realistic depictions of how a
Speaker 1: New Yorker who isn't a millionaire lives? Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: Roseanne Rent, but not really Rent. Uh, Roseanne does not
Speaker 1: take place in New York City, by the way. Uh,
Speaker 1: documentaries about like the eighties art scene. Seriously, I mean again,
Speaker 1: it's all part of that mystique of shaming people into
Speaker 1: thinking that's normal and that if you have anything less
Speaker 1: than that, that just shut the funk up and be
Speaker 1: ashamed and aspired to that thing on TV? Was that
Speaker 1: a Darren Star joint? The dude who did sex in
Speaker 1: the City? Oh, I don't think so. I don't know,
Speaker 1: is it, I don't know. It just feels like it was, like,
Speaker 1: you know, sex in the City for Ian Edelman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the one and only. Do you think, like, I think
Speaker 1: that's probably a two way bias where because Americans just
Speaker 1: like to like financial fairy tales, they let they don't
Speaker 1: want to see people deal with real financial realities. But
Speaker 1: also like when you look at who gets like writer's
Speaker 1: jobs and like all the thankless bullshit and uh interning
Speaker 1: that you have to do. Like I'm sure a lot
Speaker 1: of these people that is realistic. It's just they don't
Speaker 1: mention their rich parents or whatever. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: it's but again, but that's the that's like the hard
Speaker 1: part is like, you know, why can't you just embrace
Speaker 1: that some people are like normal as fuck right then? Like,
Speaker 1: because I think what it does is even if you're
Speaker 1: not saying this is good and this is bad or whatever, explicitly,
Speaker 1: if the message you are getting, you know, as being
Speaker 1: reinforced visually over and over, is that an interior of
Speaker 1: a home has to have these you know, has to
Speaker 1: have an Eames chair in it, and to fucking you know,
Speaker 1: like cool art and all this other ship with a doorman,
Speaker 1: then like that becomes like then we we lose track
Speaker 1: of what's normal and what is like sort of exaggerated
Speaker 1: but whatever, what this is? This is in a show
Speaker 1: where I Takedown How to Make It in America. Although
Speaker 1: that put out that allow black I need money, That's
Speaker 1: where that song really started popping off. It thing, Um,
Speaker 1: I need what is I need? I need dollars. That's
Speaker 1: what it is. Dollars is what I need, Uh, Mario Lopez,
Speaker 1: KFC is trending. This is one of those things that
Speaker 1: they have created so that people like us talk about
Speaker 1: it and they have won. Yes, congratulations Mario Lopez. Uh
Speaker 1: so they made a like a holiday rom com where
Speaker 1: he plays Colonel Sanders falling in love with Mrs Sanders. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We it's it's called a Recipe for Seduction and the
Speaker 1: subtitle is we All Have Our Secrets? Is just happened
Speaker 1: to be a recipe for seduction? Uh? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: It's like a mini movie, as they call it, lifetime
Speaker 1: mini movie that will be on I'm not going to
Speaker 1: give them free promo, but you can find it. I
Speaker 1: you know, is this like doing a press release in
Speaker 1: like a teaser trailer and movie poster around a funnier
Speaker 1: die video like better yet, a funnier die piece of
Speaker 1: branded content. Like That's what this feels like. It does.
Speaker 1: It's also just I mean, it's it makes sense, uh,
Speaker 1: you know as I track the holiday movie market. You know, Um,
Speaker 1: Mario Lopez, he's he's big right now, He's on He's
Speaker 1: on peacock. He's gonna say by the bell doing a
Speaker 1: pretty good job, I must say. Uh. He's also was
Speaker 1: in Police Navvy Dad from the Wonderful rom Com Holiday
Speaker 1: rom Com film and now he's in this one. So
Speaker 1: the Lopez stock is on the rise. So I know
Speaker 1: some people I saw, like on the discord, people were like,
Speaker 1: whoa like, should should Colonel Sanders be so hot? You know,
Speaker 1: colonel Colonel Sanders whatever he is anyway, so you can
Speaker 1: be whatever whatever the funk these people want to do
Speaker 1: with his legacy, whatever the fun Isn't he made up anyway,
Speaker 1: Colonel Sanders, he's like a caricature to front the company,
Speaker 1: right to give it this like slave owner backstory. Uh,
Speaker 1: he was an actual He was a serial failure as
Speaker 1: a businessman who late in life owned a gas station
Speaker 1: that was failing. But he served fried chicken out of
Speaker 1: the gas station shop and that's and that's where he
Speaker 1: struck gold. But he is a real person. Okay, well
Speaker 1: then great fantastic dream. Definitely not a colonel though, right,
Speaker 1: definitely not. That's like being knighted in Kentucky. You become
Speaker 1: a colonel. Uh oh, like a I think quite literally
Speaker 1: a Kentucky colonel. Right, It's like was the name of
Speaker 1: the title. Damn you know somebody hooked me up with that,
Speaker 1: with that case hook up right right? I should do
Speaker 1: Colonel O'Brien, Colonel's O'Brien and Ray. Hell yeah, man, I
Speaker 1: would fun man, I would be insufferable if I was
Speaker 1: a colonel, even a Kentucky colonel. I love it. I
Speaker 1: love a stupid title. Yeah, they bless you with Mountain
Speaker 1: dew and uh put a. I don't know what pitchfork
Speaker 1: on your shoulders. I don't know what the what the
Speaker 1: sword equivalent for Louisville slugger Louisville slugger boom much better,
Speaker 1: thank you? Uh yeah, shout out to Kentucky. Uh a
Speaker 1: place that even though I lived, I just um denigraded
Speaker 1: with terrible dismissive stereotypes y'all, same like I do with
Speaker 1: l A. Yeah. Yeah, that's how you know you're from
Speaker 1: somewhere or if I don't know, that's very interchanged. Um.
Speaker 1: We should do uh, we should do Since you're like
Speaker 1: the king of holiday movies, maybe we should do a
Speaker 1: holiday movie something or other. Yeah, holiday episodes, some of
Speaker 1: our holiday apps. I could put a list together. Okay,
Speaker 1: we will do some ship they'll make your eyes fall
Speaker 1: out of your head. So a bunch of things that
Speaker 1: I do are are trending, skating, surfing, sport, climbing, break dancing,
Speaker 1: all things that you know how I get to work often, sir,
Speaker 1: surf catch a wave down to the office, sport climbed
Speaker 1: the outside. I mean, I always say you should do
Speaker 1: headspins with a beanie on because you've got a wicked
Speaker 1: scab and bald spot on the top of your head
Speaker 1: from just doing those headspins. I'm like, yo, just got headed,
Speaker 1: big white guy dread? Oh my god, was your ROSTERA?
Speaker 1: Now this do as be doing head spins doesn't wash
Speaker 1: his hair and it dreads. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: really like talking to that guy. You could just tell
Speaker 1: him to turn his music down. Uh. So yeah, it's
Speaker 1: because these are Olympic sports. I didn't I knew like
Speaker 1: surfing was coming and skateboarding, uh, sport climbing whatever, but
Speaker 1: break dance thing. Also they have gone through like the
Speaker 1: final hurdle too. Now like their inclusion has been ratified
Speaker 1: by the IOC ciphoners of local wealth in the hopes
Speaker 1: of putting on their event all across the world. They
Speaker 1: have made breakdancing and sport, and I've never been more
Speaker 1: fucking excited than I think when the Dream Team was
Speaker 1: going to play in Barcelona. So you're saying that you
Speaker 1: think South Korea is going to come out pretty pretty high,
Speaker 1: you know, Korean breakdancing, there's some because taekwondo, like there's
Speaker 1: a culturally, there's a lot of acrobatic athleticism in built
Speaker 1: that that I see being using like breaker moves like
Speaker 1: your hip rotation and ship like that's the same thing
Speaker 1: when she feels wild taekwondo uh demonstrations where some do
Speaker 1: look like he's running on air and like jumping like
Speaker 1: forty ft in the air like you know break. That's
Speaker 1: like the cool thing is like this doesn't feel like
Speaker 1: a thing that yes, you know, because it's part of
Speaker 1: the elements of hip hop that were born in America
Speaker 1: that America is gonna dominate like no, like the every country.
Speaker 1: That's what's beautiful about this ship is that like every
Speaker 1: country has has breakers and there are international competitions already.
Speaker 1: Um So I think it's just gonna it will feel
Speaker 1: like the closest to like a high stakes you got
Speaker 1: served situation, Like because now we're dealing with like like
Speaker 1: a thing that competitors universally respect, which is like Olympic gold.
Speaker 1: Uh so that's gonna be that's kind of tight. I
Speaker 1: just I don't know, there's just something about it that
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to. What those what those look like?
Speaker 1: And what do you do? Like is it one v one?
Speaker 1: Is it two v two? Break battles? Like what are
Speaker 1: the rules of the battles? Is a full crew on crew? Uh?
Speaker 1: Like is it specialized like with headspins? Like who can
Speaker 1: do like the sickest stalls? I don't know, Like that's
Speaker 1: what'd be cool about how you begin to a judicate,
Speaker 1: would dope if they Yeah, if it was head to
Speaker 1: head and like there was you know, you were standing
Speaker 1: around like in the same area as the opponent as
Speaker 1: opposed to like doing it like gymnastics where it's like
Speaker 1: okay and that is the end of their root teen
Speaker 1: and up next the Russian team team Yeah, team USA
Speaker 1: b boy nibbles like bowing, and then it's like and
Speaker 1: then suddenly you just hear like the that song the
Speaker 1: Mexican playing that's like one of those old school breakdancer songs.
Speaker 1: You have the hushed announcers and being like oh when
Speaker 1: he's going, oh my god, and I love I love
Speaker 1: the song choice here. Now, this is a classic Babe
Speaker 1: Ruth the Mexican. I don't know if you've ever heard
Speaker 1: this song. I'm just gonna play really quick. Have you
Speaker 1: ever heard this song? Oh? Anyway, that's called the Mexican
Speaker 1: but by Babe Ruth, And that's like the o G
Speaker 1: Breaker song back in the day, because like boom do
Speaker 1: get your uprock going. Um, song selection is gonna be
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it would be like the same
Speaker 1: thing as gymnastics, because it can't just be like yo
Speaker 1: with a show of screams, who who who marked the
Speaker 1: other person in the battle? Like it'll be like how
Speaker 1: it's scored and how we get into Like the commentary
Speaker 1: is going to be also like because there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a certain level of reverence that you treat the competition
Speaker 1: with that's just going to be so fascinating. Like I
Speaker 1: hope they're uh, I hope they're Also it's got a
Speaker 1: little figure skating built in and that they're making their
Speaker 1: own costumes or like having to dress themselves and that's
Speaker 1: part of the presentation. Uh yeah. But it's all one.
Speaker 1: It's all the same version of like the Adidas three
Speaker 1: stripe track suit basically just like Royal blue. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then Bob Dylan was trending this morning. Uh not because
Speaker 1: he died, because he sold his entire song catalog. Uh.
Speaker 1: For people are speculating around three hundred millie h for
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan's song catalog. Why would he sell? What's going on?
Speaker 1: Was he in debt? So no, this is the thing.
Speaker 1: Stephen Nicks just did the same thing. The Rolling Stones
Speaker 1: recently did something similar. It's basically, well it's one last check.
Speaker 1: And it's also the taxes are going to go up
Speaker 1: under Biden for this particular, so they're they're all being
Speaker 1: a cat comes that they do that. They Mr Biden,
Speaker 1: come raising my taxes? What the fun? Wow, that's that's cool,
Speaker 1: very cool, very cool. Oh, because what your three hundred
Speaker 1: million was gonna get taxed? Like? What the funk? This
Speaker 1: is where like you you just see like at that level,
Speaker 1: what you even if it was like they took two
Speaker 1: thirds of that a hundred million dollars, is you couldn't.
Speaker 1: Your life's worked. He wants to leave it to all
Speaker 1: those kids. He's never talked to um, yeah, and look
Speaker 1: at what do you look what you did to Jacob
Speaker 1: had them all gassed up thinking the Wallflowers was a
Speaker 1: good band. Uh, Blondie, Rick James and Steve Nicks are
Speaker 1: the ones who did it, not Rolling Stone or the Rolls.
Speaker 1: Rick James, I mean, come on man, posthumously yeah yeah, um,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be under Trump around of the l price.
Speaker 1: Uh and under Biden it would have been of the
Speaker 1: sale price. So that's why why it's happening, like each
Speaker 1: ship like fuck you. Uh so you went from three
Speaker 1: hundred million to let's just call it up two million? Yeah,
Speaker 1: who gives a fuck? It's really like, yeah, it's hard
Speaker 1: to like there there's so much of capitalism and like
Speaker 1: just the capital is ethos where it's just like I
Speaker 1: got to save as much of your money from tax
Speaker 1: as you possibly can, Like that's the smart thing to do.
Speaker 1: And it's uh like you never ever hear somebody be
Speaker 1: like well no, I mean yeah, you pay pay taxes
Speaker 1: for the country people. Yeah, I gave you the support
Speaker 1: to make you who you are and it helps other people. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's funny, like the only like spicy class traders are
Speaker 1: the ones that aren't relevant, you know, like not it's
Speaker 1: never like a Kardashian. It's always like one of like
Speaker 1: a forgot Disney grandchild. All right, yeah, I mean thanks,
Speaker 1: but like, you know, we kind of need the real,
Speaker 1: you know, fucking water carriers of this whole culture to
Speaker 1: actually begin turning on it, like you know, you'll never
Speaker 1: hear them be like, of course, like you have to
Speaker 1: tax me because my I've experienced such wealth that I
Speaker 1: honestly think it's inappropriate for me at this point to
Speaker 1: to have any more money as it stands, Like it's
Speaker 1: honestly an absurd amount that I wouldn't know what to
Speaker 1: do with, and I feel I feel wrong. Therefore, I'm
Speaker 1: so open to actually just surrendering about eighty percent of
Speaker 1: whatever I'm making and having that go to the community
Speaker 1: because that's who needs it. That and also my product
Speaker 1: of skincare and body shape wear too. Well. I mean,
Speaker 1: this dude was already like selling out pretty hardcore, like
Speaker 1: last year in a Super Bowl commercial. Uh he let
Speaker 1: bub Wiser use blowing in the wind. Oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: talked about that was how unbobbed of him. That was
Speaker 1: right environment like, because there they were bragging about how
Speaker 1: I'm vironmentally friendly their beer production was. And then later
Speaker 1: that same year, Budweiser's parent company was fined half a
Speaker 1: million dollars for violating California's air pollution laws. Uh, but
Speaker 1: then cleared exactly in two thousand fourteen, there was like
Speaker 1: a whole thing where he was in a Chrysler commercial. Um.
Speaker 1: So one other thing I've I didn't realize that. Our
Speaker 1: writer Jam pointed out, I had talked about his song
Speaker 1: Murder Most Foul for that was about the jfk assassination
Speaker 1: that I think is a great song, seventeen minutes long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but apparently he did a fifteen minute long song uh
Speaker 1: not too long ago about the Titanic, which which, upon
Speaker 1: closer inspection, is actually about the movie Titanic. Because there's
Speaker 1: a little Leo took his sketch book. He was often
Speaker 1: so inclined he closed his eyes and painted the scenery
Speaker 1: in his mind. Um my, so my man is uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he's gone, he's gone. But the but the
Speaker 1: Murder Most Foul one so dope. It's like it uses
Speaker 1: the sort of fogginess of dementia to to uh good effect.
Speaker 1: It's like gone back and forth and uh between subjects
Speaker 1: and years and it's kind of dope. Um, but that
Speaker 1: he slips into talking about Leonardo Dicafrio. Uh as Leonardo
Speaker 1: DiCaprio in his song about the historic event, right, I
Speaker 1: can't even yeah his I'm surprised, as if you've listened
Speaker 1: to the JFK one. He's like, and then Gary, old
Speaker 1: men shot the President and You're like, are you talking
Speaker 1: about Oliver Stone's JFK movie. That's so great, man, what
Speaker 1: a genius genius. Uh, definitely deserves every penny of that
Speaker 1: three don't let what a dingus? What a great h
Speaker 1: Alright you guys. Of the week goes to Bob Dylan.
Speaker 1: All you heard it here first on the Daily is
Speaker 1: trending up, dingis ding ding dingas Alright, guys, that's gonna
Speaker 1: do it for this Monday afternoon. We're back tomorrow with
Speaker 1: the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be
Speaker 1: kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, wearing mask,
Speaker 1: wash your hands, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you all tomorrow. By By
