Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of J G.
Speaker 1: Trend Worth. Yeah you've never heard of that? I never
Speaker 1: heard j Wentworth? How I've heard reference in passing like
Speaker 1: it hit my brain as though there were a J. G.
Speaker 1: Wentworth shape a little divot in there. So I've heard
Speaker 1: it before. I just don't. I couldn't pull the ad
Speaker 1: that you were talking about. What the I feel like?
Speaker 1: This is so I that jingle has existed for years,
Speaker 1: but it's always like these weird versions of people doing
Speaker 1: a musical somewhere whatever. If you if you like you're
Speaker 1: making that shut up, and I don't fully believe. I
Speaker 1: think you're trying to get me to be like, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I've seen it two miles obviously I get it. And
Speaker 1: then they're so fucking proud of them that they're even like,
Speaker 1: check out our award winning fucking commercials from the J. G.
Speaker 1: Wentworth Academy of Advertising Academy Award. They're they're really feeling
Speaker 1: eight seven seven cash. Now, how many times has that
Speaker 1: been stuck in your head over the years? Ye didn't
Speaker 1: we They've become cult classics. Our our iconic Wagnerian opera
Speaker 1: is that Nazi Anyway, moving on, moving on to isn't
Speaker 1: that guy in Nazi Captain America? nWo, So, the next
Speaker 1: Captain America movie has the subtitle of New World Order,
Speaker 1: which is an anti Smitic conspiracy theory. Um, they cast
Speaker 1: a Jewish actor as the arch villain of of the film.
Speaker 1: Like so, even even the old old timey comic books
Speaker 1: where Captain America was fighting something called the New World Order,
Speaker 1: the head of the New World Order was a Nazi
Speaker 1: scientist goblin named Red Skuld. Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just switch that up. Yeah, just switch that up a
Speaker 1: little bit real quick, real quick. Like, um, it's the
Speaker 1: actor who played the guy with the mirror helmet in
Speaker 1: the Watchman. Um, the kind of thin dude you know
Speaker 1: in Watchman HBO show. Who's the mirror head dude? What
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Mirror head? I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what which actor we're talking about. He
Speaker 1: was one of the cops on the fourth in the
Speaker 1: local town that they followed, oh the entire Oh the
Speaker 1: dude who put the fucking weird mask on that big
Speaker 1: discal ball thing. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Looking Glass
Speaker 1: that's what his name, looking Glass, not mirror Head should
Speaker 1: have been his name. Um. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: couldn't get like if that was trademarked or something, but
Speaker 1: it should have been Mirrorhead. Anyways. Uh, they've added a
Speaker 1: protagonist superhero, um I think from comic books, but that
Speaker 1: character is Israeli. Um, so it could it could just
Speaker 1: get all. I mean, nobody's seen the film yet, but
Speaker 1: it's just it seems like it's setting up to be
Speaker 1: pretty tone deaf at a time where tone deafness is
Speaker 1: probably not what we need. I it sounds like it's
Speaker 1: going to be a fucking interesting one, with many kinds
Speaker 1: of analysis that we might need and much that we don't. Um. Wow, well,
Speaker 1: good luck with that film, guys, good luck over there
Speaker 1: with that. As we found, he can't judge a book
Speaker 1: by its cover or a movie by its trailer. According
Speaker 1: to the reviews of Don't Worry Darling, I was on
Speaker 1: board heavy based on based on the trailer, and yeah,
Speaker 1: the reviews are pretty pretty rough, not not kind. I'll
Speaker 1: watch it eventually on an airplane. I will promise you that,
Speaker 1: Olivia Wild and I will watch it on that same airplane. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The last thing I do trump in d C air
Speaker 1: planes are. Former president took a little airplane trip up
Speaker 1: to Washington, d c our nation's capital in his golf outfit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's rocking his golf outfit, went out his golf course,
Speaker 1: not partaking in golf, but just driving his little golf
Speaker 1: cart around the golf course and presumably making little room
Speaker 1: room and too sounds with his mouth. Yeah, it's everyone's like, okay,
Speaker 1: what are you turning yourself in? What do you sick?
Speaker 1: And you're going to what do you? What do you what?
Speaker 1: Are you a tough guy? Oh? Real tough? Okay, so
Speaker 1: you're tough guy. Okay, you want to come to your
Speaker 1: own golf course? Okay, tough guy? What do you for
Speaker 1: you real quick? Um? Yeah, I don't. I think the
Speaker 1: fantasy versions likes far are we going to be arrest?
Speaker 1: Just like no, not, he's if anything, as he says,
Speaker 1: it's a working trip. And I'm like, yeah, what do
Speaker 1: you are you trying to like lean in on Jenny
Speaker 1: Thomas and ship and being right? I gotta it's getting bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what the folk I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you guys to do some ship or
Speaker 1: it's a rap for me but then I feel like
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, we'll see what it is
Speaker 1: it's all about. But this man is not known for
Speaker 1: his working so it feels like more of a panicked
Speaker 1: trip than if anything. I will say, the maralogal sweatfest continues.
Speaker 1: I just don't know what the reason for the sweats
Speaker 1: are with this. Yeah, hard to know in the moment.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. Remember when he fired, like the guy was
Speaker 1: basically running his campaign for him, y Lewandowski, No, not
Speaker 1: Notanda par Scale car Scale got fired, and like, now
Speaker 1: there's us that that was part of a attempted take
Speaker 1: over to get Kushner out um and bring in uh Bannon,
Speaker 1: And like that there's new book coming out from one
Speaker 1: of his little henchmen from the campaign basically saying that
Speaker 1: like everybody was trying to maneuver to get Bannon in.
Speaker 1: So it's it's like the true story behind all the
Speaker 1: what what was bubbling to the surface of the mainstream media.
Speaker 1: But it hilariously sounds like it came down to he
Speaker 1: was too afraid to fire Jared because he thought his
Speaker 1: daughter would be mad at him, So he just like
Speaker 1: avoiated Jesus avoided it. You fire him you should do
Speaker 1: it that, yeah, can you, which is so funny to
Speaker 1: someone who like like so to everyone else, so transparently
Speaker 1: insecure and frightened as a man and just has to
Speaker 1: overcompensate with all this like bluster and ship, like watching
Speaker 1: him panicked, like being like watch this, Pool's gonna say
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to do it, but he's not going
Speaker 1: to say he doesn't want to do it, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna lose his ship about some other thing, insisting that
Speaker 1: we have to fire him. He's like that, there's no
Speaker 1: point in me to do that. I can't do that.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to me. But what I do
Speaker 1: that you should do. Probably I'm like, damn, well, I
Speaker 1: thought you were about it. Nope, Nope, not about it.
Speaker 1: Would rather lose the presidency than faith a you know,
Speaker 1: confrontation with his daughter and finally Russian soldiers they're trending
Speaker 1: because um, they are apparently running for their lives. That's
Speaker 1: as one Yeah journalist puts it. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: a lot of the news has been focused on this
Speaker 1: like counter offensive that Ukraine has launched and just reclaimed
Speaker 1: just amount untold amounts of territory since this invasion began
Speaker 1: in late February and to the point where a lot
Speaker 1: of people are pointing to the fact that like the
Speaker 1: chain of command is just breaking down because they were
Speaker 1: so caught off guard by this counter offensive that you know,
Speaker 1: people are pointing to the just sort of one of
Speaker 1: the biggest differences with the Ukrainian Army and the Russian
Speaker 1: Army is just how the culture of how like how
Speaker 1: autonomous the soldiers can be. The Russian Army is still
Speaker 1: very much you know, like they just everything has to
Speaker 1: go through like the highest echelon of people to make
Speaker 1: decisions and they wait on the ground. Yeah, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: you've seen it, You've heard you know, whereas Ukrainians like
Speaker 1: in the field, they're they're given a little bit more
Speaker 1: autonomy to be flexible in the battlefield. And they're saying
Speaker 1: because of that, it's the bottleneck of lack of orders
Speaker 1: plus the potential for these Russian soldiers to be captured
Speaker 1: or whatever. They're just ditching tanks and rivers and like
Speaker 1: dressing a civilians and trying to flee. Um. I mean
Speaker 1: a lot of people say this is this is a
Speaker 1: pretty huge turning point in this conflict. But over the
Speaker 1: weekend or this is like kind of been going on
Speaker 1: for a while. It's started about the end of last week.
Speaker 1: Basic they took one of the major cities, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: in the weekend in main reagions and like then, like
Speaker 1: I think they Russians are like trying to tell the
Speaker 1: u N They're like, this isn't fair what they're doing.
Speaker 1: It's like, what are you serious? What the are you
Speaker 1: talking about? You invaded a fucking country. Um So yeah,
Speaker 1: there's I mean, there's definitely images of these people who
Speaker 1: are so relieved to see like other Ukrainian you know,
Speaker 1: our soldiers like in their town after being occupied. But
Speaker 1: that this is an ongoing story obviously. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk Little Mermaid,
Speaker 1: we'll talk our new king and and we're back. So
Speaker 1: the Little Mermaid dropped a teaser on our ass. The
Speaker 1: performance is amazing. It's so good that TMZ wrote a
Speaker 1: story saying, are they are the fans shading the original
Speaker 1: Arial Jody Benson Like, because they're like she's because the
Speaker 1: original Aria, Oh my god, it's and day. I mean
Speaker 1: obviously as vocal, they're just they're not even comparable as vocalists.
Speaker 1: But this is late eighties Disney or whatever, I think,
Speaker 1: because they were just pointing at the fact that people
Speaker 1: are like, holy shit, like they're like Hallie Bailey is
Speaker 1: gonna fucking eat with this role. And people are like, well,
Speaker 1: what are you trying to say about Judy Ben's like,
Speaker 1: nobody saying it about her. Yeah, said that Hallie Bailey
Speaker 1: is fucking fantastic. Some people were like, you know, putting
Speaker 1: putting side by side clips and people like, oh, that's shady.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, TMZ. Why don't you focus
Speaker 1: on the tons of people like on social media who
Speaker 1: are like finding other weird things to critique it because
Speaker 1: it's a not white aerial rather than being like our
Speaker 1: black people shading the white woman who's saying they're excited
Speaker 1: that this woman can say I don't think so. So
Speaker 1: I had the thoughts and uh that it looks unnatural.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem like that should be the mermaid.
Speaker 1: She does not look like aerial like a mermaid does.
Speaker 1: And what does a mermaid look like. We've all pictured
Speaker 1: a mermaid in our mind. Blonde hair, blue eyes, you
Speaker 1: know that. Um no. I had the thought that it
Speaker 1: does look like it is taking place in the ocean
Speaker 1: in a Zack Snyder Justice League movie. Like it looks dark. Um,
Speaker 1: But people have pointed out that the scene where she
Speaker 1: is singing part of a part of that world. It
Speaker 1: happens at night, so they're just lighting it. She she's
Speaker 1: singing in a sea cave. There's being lit by fireworks
Speaker 1: that are above at nighttime on the surface. Um so
Speaker 1: I stand corrected. The rest of the Internet does not
Speaker 1: stand corrected. The stand fuck you. This is bad. People
Speaker 1: are like, shouldn't like even look like that under water?
Speaker 1: What dude, all I could think about when I saw
Speaker 1: it was the my skin turning into that of a
Speaker 1: chickens because of all the goose bumps, or I guess
Speaker 1: that of a goose. If I'm going to be you know,
Speaker 1: accurate here with how good her fucking voices, and to
Speaker 1: hear someone singing like these like iconic melodies with just
Speaker 1: that little bit more artistic swag on it, that little
Speaker 1: bit more of you know, being a powerhouse vocalist, it
Speaker 1: just like elevated it immediately. I'm yeah, I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: And this is being made by uh the premiere UM
Speaker 1: filmmaker of musicals the person who brought Chicago to the
Speaker 1: big screen and all lew Us all the way. I
Speaker 1: have not seen any of his movies, but that is
Speaker 1: because I, um man, I remember when Chicago won all
Speaker 1: those Academy Awards. I was like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Chicago was great. I didn't see that. Rob Marshall love
Speaker 1: his work. I have not seen a single one of them.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, I saw the new Mary Poppins. Hey, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so get off my back people, Okay. It's also funny
Speaker 1: every time I read Hallie Bailey's name that my mind
Speaker 1: brain is so conditioned to go, well, I know Hollie,
Speaker 1: and if there's a B, it's only one other name,
Speaker 1: rather than like every even though every single letter falls.
Speaker 1: It is like, I'm like, okay, to the point that
Speaker 1: my brain makes me think I have seen the name
Speaker 1: halle Berry, like I I can close my eyes after
Speaker 1: seeing him be like okay, that was halle Berry. Nope, Nollie.
Speaker 1: There are more nerves going from your brain to your
Speaker 1: eyes than from your eyes to your brain. Your your
Speaker 1: brain is using your memory to fill in most of
Speaker 1: what you think you are seeing. F y, I oh,
Speaker 1: then and it just came through the fact that the
Speaker 1: director Mr Rob Marshall also Tony nominated choreographer. So we'll see,
Speaker 1: let's see he's choreo with someone with one leg in
Speaker 1: the form of a mermaid. Yeah exactly. You know that's
Speaker 1: not a I guess because they aren't ped They don't.
Speaker 1: It's not bipedal, or they're not a quadruped. I guess
Speaker 1: they just are a fish. They're not they don't have Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're pods there something pods? Okay pod Yeah exactly, Thank you,
Speaker 1: King Charles the Third. I think that there was just
Speaker 1: that one three second clip that went viral over the
Speaker 1: weekend that it was just the reminder I needed. Um. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, they're the p of his hands, his
Speaker 1: little dusting that pen tray, the funk out of his way, uh.
Speaker 1: Telling telling his servants was just like yes, you are
Speaker 1: born to it, aren't you. You were just the snoodiest
Speaker 1: little bit in all of England. Uh, and like that
Speaker 1: that is your gift. He's just like move it, move
Speaker 1: it now, Like yeah, did you feel did you empathize
Speaker 1: with William though? Did I empathize with Williams s wrong
Speaker 1: with that left hand? What I I didn't there was one.
Speaker 1: It looked like he was struggling being left handed and
Speaker 1: signing like these like very inky proclamations. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's a left hand or if
Speaker 1: I've ever seen Yeah, did you have to like curl
Speaker 1: it up to the oh yeah yeah yeah. Yeah. He
Speaker 1: thought he was putting a ghost in the headlock the
Speaker 1: way yeah right, yeah, it looks like I have something
Speaker 1: very wrong with me, but it is actually all just
Speaker 1: you don't want to spear that in getting anyways, um
Speaker 1: oh yo, did you there's another thing too? Over like
Speaker 1: so they canceled all the Premier League games, you know,
Speaker 1: and to say like, yo, we're obviously just still like
Speaker 1: two more in the Queen. And on top of the
Speaker 1: obviously like police issues because police resources like all over
Speaker 1: the UK. They're like, yo, like we gotta kind of
Speaker 1: put we gotta put our resources in different places. What
Speaker 1: can you explain that a little further so the games
Speaker 1: so because of like all of these these things, these
Speaker 1: events that are happening across the UK with the death
Speaker 1: of the monarch, like it's just strained the police, sing
Speaker 1: like the ability for the police to be present for
Speaker 1: these large scale events and have them properly secured. So
Speaker 1: to add like huge soccer games on top of that,
Speaker 1: like further sort of strains, like like local police departments.
Speaker 1: So they felt that you know, it might not they
Speaker 1: might not have the adequate amount of people there to
Speaker 1: ensure the safety of the matches, which makes sense and
Speaker 1: all that, But then more journalists were kind of saying
Speaker 1: like there was also a dimension to this argument that
Speaker 1: they didn't want to cause scenes at halftime with fans
Speaker 1: not respecting the moment of silence and it's just being
Speaker 1: a terrible look that they're like, yo, you know what,
Speaker 1: don't even give them a fucking shot, just dragging this
Speaker 1: ship down like just forever. Yeah, but I was like
Speaker 1: that'll win them over. Um, it was just all you know,
Speaker 1: still got to maintain the the prestige even after the
Speaker 1: fact by saying like the reason we can't play games
Speaker 1: if we do celebrate it, we're not going to have
Speaker 1: adoption of you know, being quiet or not howling or whatever.
Speaker 1: Soft power. That's how many I mean, it's why it's
Speaker 1: so it's so interesting that Jeff Bezos was team Queen.
Speaker 1: You know, like this guy who counts on us not
Speaker 1: deciding to there was someone who tweeted something very interesting
Speaker 1: about that too, is like the reason those people are
Speaker 1: so aghast at that is they're like, oh shit, like
Speaker 1: when you're dead, they will they'll just bring up all
Speaker 1: the realities of who you are and and reckon with that.
Speaker 1: And that's very frightening for people who pay lots of
Speaker 1: money to like obscure the media or elections or things
Speaker 1: to keep themselves in like out of the eye. That
Speaker 1: to see that, you're like, wait, they flame you in death,
Speaker 1: like yeah, motherfucker's fit roast mhm. And finally, Plymouth Rock. Um,
Speaker 1: somebody took a picture of Plymouth Rock and man, this thing, uh,
Speaker 1: to quote the great Jamie Loftus looks like yeah, looks
Speaker 1: like ship. So this person just like it was Lawrence
Speaker 1: Right just tweeted, let me just show you the picture
Speaker 1: because it's just so dumb looking, Like what then are
Speaker 1: we doing? I've never been here to Plymouth Rock where
Speaker 1: you know as as uh this twitter you Lawrence right,
Speaker 1: he said, Plymouth Rock has to be one of the
Speaker 1: most unremarkable artifacts of American history, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. But then people are like debating it,
Speaker 1: like a lot of people are like I believe Malcolm
Speaker 1: X said it best when he said, we didn't land
Speaker 1: on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us, or like
Speaker 1: people talking about, well this is bullshit. I don't give
Speaker 1: a about Plymouth Rock. Then other people were my parents
Speaker 1: came over on the Mayflower, and I think it's shut
Speaker 1: the fuck up anyway. So it's where they Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: where the Mayflower Mayflower, right, isn't that where they got
Speaker 1: off the fucking boat. I guess yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 1: Plymouth was like the town they got off on and
Speaker 1: took it over, and you know, the entire population of
Speaker 1: that town had just been wiped out by plague, and
Speaker 1: so they just moved into the empty houses, dead Native
Speaker 1: Americans houses, used their cookware, they're like dishes. Um took
Speaker 1: all their stuff basically. Um. They just it was It's
Speaker 1: like a post apocalyptic movie that they where they just
Speaker 1: like got to come moving. What do you I mean?
Speaker 1: It's and it's also like the dumbest fucking thing, like
Speaker 1: what it symbolizes. It's not like the Brian over here
Speaker 1: is all said the Liberty Bell gets a shout to
Speaker 1: for the dumbest thing. I'm like, yeah, but at least
Speaker 1: that looks like a bell, and I've seen like that
Speaker 1: the iconography of the Liberty bells like in my head,
Speaker 1: Plymouth Rock not so much a fucking rock where that's
Speaker 1: like And this is when it all started getting fucking
Speaker 1: weird for everybody who lived here. But anyway, shout out
Speaker 1: to that rock. Shout out to that rock. What date
Speaker 1: does it have written on it? Sixteen? Anyways that they
Speaker 1: founded Plymouth Colony in December of sixteen twenty. Yeah, good times, man,
