Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season to eighty six, episode two of Der Daily. Hi guys, it's a production of iHeartRadio. It's a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's sharing consciousness. And it's Tuesday, May n twenty twenty three.
O'ma Carlson's favorite. National Sleepover Day. National Oh, I like this one. National Alphabet magnet Day. Shout out to those letters that I when I learned how to spell curse words, I got in trouble really quickly for spelling fuck all the time on the refrigerator. Also National Moscato Day, National Lost socc Memorial Day, Europe Damn. National butter Scotch Brownie Day Europe Day.
Yeah, I'm sure there's some white supremises. Shit. Yeah, shout out to all the fallen loss.
It's the day that the European Union celebrates peace in unit in here you go, okay, we'll go with that. Yeah.
My name is Jack O'Brien aka you sure follow me? Yeah, follow me. I've got mys I I've got my Baha blath uh. That is courtesy of Fat Andrew on the discord Orange Crush by r em Big Big Rim Fan Grown. They were the first cool music band that I listened to, and you can tell it worked out and made me cool because I call them music band, like like a real cool kiss. And I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co host mister Miles Grass.
Yes, the LA Lakers original Blajian Miles Gray coming to the mic. Shout out to the Los Angeles Rakers. As of this recording, we are up to one. Although the game Game four has happened. We'll see, we'll see what happened have happened in that game, But I will say this, the response of Golden State fans has been really something to see. There was a guy, I don't know if you saw this clip at the Staples Center when we
were blowing their entire back end out. He was going up and down the stands as Staples I will cause Staples.
And I don't reckon. I don't know crypto whatever Doc Krreen is this span.
This Warrior's fan was going up down the aisles holding up a four, being like one, two, three, four rings, four rings and everyone starts going seventeen seventeen, you know what you're talking about?
And he was like, okay, I got it. Was he like a straw man hired by the Lakers to just get publicly that it like a.
He did have the vibe of like when they have plants for like the audience cam where they're like, whoa, this guy's doing a dance battle against the mascot.
He's a plan.
It did have kind of like they're like, there's no way you think four is greater than seventeen, or you are just such a new fan with the tags still on your jersey that only occurred to you that maybe four was the most somebody ever won in this league.
I don't know. I don't know. Also, his wig is not convincing. Just up there. I've seen that guy from the ground block.
Side note, I have my in laws there in town. I got them on the Jalen Rose Got fake Hair conspiracy bandwagon.
Now, yeah, it can't all be right. We're all in agreement that it can't all be fake. It's just I don't know. It could be mixed medium fake hair. I don't see.
And this is the part I don't like because before I held him up as the strongest hairline of all time, and now I don't like that we're wobbling in the perception of it.
That's what really hurts me more than whether or not he is faking the hairline. I think it's like a situation like the Olympic athletes are the greatest athletes in the world, and then they use performance enhancing drugs because to like, once all the attention is on you and there's competition from other people with the greatest hair in the world, then he feels like he has to keep up with impossible standards. Would be my guess.
It was just funny how cook they went from like the Internet there's this dumb conspiracy theory that this guy got a fake hairline. They're like, oh really, They're like, it is pretty strong, and then they're like, five minutes in, is just turning to I don't know, maybe you're right. I was like, it's that easy to maybe spread misinformation out there.
Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a brilliant and talented podcast producer, e sports commentator guy on Twitch, Yeah DJ and music producer, one half of the DJ production duo Gladiator, one of the super producers here at the iHeart Podcast Network. You know him from Fake Doctor's Real Friends as the engineer and producer of this show that super producer Justin had to assassinate in order to take his spot. Yeah, well he's back and this is a direct quote from what
he just put in the chat. He's quote back from the dead to fuck all your guys's ship up. It's DJ Daniel good MANE.
I wrote all that SHITJ Daniel aka mister steal your Aerial aka a loy fan cam creator gang.
Wow, you gotta did you really make a fan camps?
I'm working on it. Wow, I'm full stand. This new Horizon for Bidding West d LC got me all fucked up. I switched to Jedi Survivor. I don't blame you. I finished two days ago, and I'm just like on cloud nine. It was so amazing part of me.
I gotta let me come through to your house in my PlayStation and show your son the new Star Wars game. Oh my goodness, beyond what man, the way, I'll be taking nine hundred droids and I'm like, let me smush all y'all together.
And then because do you have control over one of like the trash Compactors or you just have the.
You are the like you'll just be like y'all need all y'all get.
There Force Powers ever.
Oh yeah, and like there was the one before Fallen Order. What was that one called that was on p s three that was like, oh Jedi like Force Unleashed. Yeah, yeah, yeah there was. There was one scene, Jack where you brought down a star destroyer with your hands.
Damn. It was pretty good.
That was Yeah. I think you had to mash the buttons to do that. But anyway, parenting is just a long process of withholding things that they would like too much, right, they don't.
They don't lose the plot That Avatar too, I feel like, would just destroy our ability to get him.
To leave the house. Oh really yeah yeah, but he likes that book though, the Technical Journal, He absolutely loves it. One of the great gift recommendations that we've ever received.
Great.
I'm I'm like I was, I was really waiting with baited breath. I'm like, if he's the child, I think he is, like.
You you n yeah, yeah.
All right, yeah he is. Yeah, just always up on the top bunk with that book, only an hour after he is supposed to have gone to bed. Yeah yeah, hey, at least it's books. A least it's books, you know. Yeah, hell, yeah, absolutely.
We love that.
We love it, don't we, folks.
We love it it. Kids.
How are you doing?
Great? Man? Is a It is a happy Tuesday, and uh, just you know it is a. I got got a cup of tea right here. I recently switched my caffeine intake to kind of like trick my body into being more awoken by the caffeine. I think I'm just too used to coffee at this point. Like I was switching beans every month, and then I was like, let me just switch it up to tea again and see if that makes a difference.
You're doing this shit like people who smoke weed, Dude, Like, man, I'm just smoking too many indicas.
Man, let me say teva really quick. That might knock something and loose?
Is there?
Like are there like sea breaks like people do tea breaks.
I'm sure there are. I'm just doing I simply cannot. So I'm just switching up the caffeine to see if it makes a difference. This is before I'm not gonna lie. I was recently at Smart and Final and I saw or no, not Smart and Final. I was somewhere else, but I saw the old Kirk Siggy cold Bruce with that panther on the can. That's kind of for I think I was for a half second, I was like, I might have to cop. Do I do it to him? I might have to cop.
Yeah, you're like, I had to do it to him, have uncontrollable caffeine and do his diarrhea destroy my insides?
But damn would I be awake?
Yeah?
I found like a like a loose can I had I was sitting on and it wasn't great.
It had been like years had passed since I was supposed to drink it. But when I bore that thing out, it is opaque solid.
Yeah, there's no seeing through that.
Yeah, opacity one of the one of the signs that you're fucking with a strong, cold brow. All right, Daniel, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell the listener to a couple of the things that we're talking about. We got some new details, a new theory on what happened to Tucker Carlson as he is like threatening to launch his Elon Musk collab his own network.
There there's some more behind the scenes ship. This one kind of boring and about what it seems true because it's so boring. It's just like fucked with the wrong hr lady basically, yeah, so don't comfort the people in the C suite. It is. It is very like succession asque.
Yes, like Katerina I was saying, like Katerina who was running comms for Ways Star Whiteco.
She seemed impervious to the kill list because.
That's what these comms people do, like they help keep your evil empire like from the outside looking half decent.
Yeah, and nowhere every single body is veried. Yeah yeah, yea ye yah yeah yeah yeah yeah. So yeah, it ain't gonna be a us. We'll talk about that. We'll
talk about teacher pay. We will talk about the way that pop culture is cycling back to the year nineteen eighty nine in a number of ways, Like I don't know that it can be coincidental, the number of ways that it's just like they it feels like everyone in Hollywood two years ago just were like, Okay, so nineteen eighty nine, right, nineteen eight nine, We're gonna go just make everything cool, remake everything from the year nineteen eighty nine, do it again, and it's all coming out at the
same time. So all that plenty more. But first, Dan, we do like to ask our guests, as you may know, what is something from your search history?
All right, I'm gonna take you guys on a journey here because the search history that I have here is the end of my journey. But I want to see if you guys can get there with me. So I'm going to sing you a tune right now, and I want you to tell me if you know it off the top of your head. Okay, yeah, mm hmm boo do do do do Do Do Do Do doo. Baby Elephant Walk fucking nailed that ship, well done. I had that tune stuck in my head the other day, couldn't remember what it was called.
And so Dan podcast, okay, with nothing to do except no useless shit like that song is.
Called baby Elephant Walk.
Now, now, not to call you out, but Jack, did you know that off the top of your head?
No? No, no, I I was getting there. I was like the first step on a one hundred step journey to getting there, and I was not all the way there.
So here's the here's the journey I took via Google search to find that song. Yeah, classic Honky tonk type songs wrong honky talk. I don't think of that as exactly wrong. That classic song that has flute and horns also wrong. Song from Austin Powers was not in that movie. Now Here's where I took a lot. I totally thought it was though. I was like, yeah, that's right. That
was a song walking through city. Now in my head, I was like, I feel like walk is in the name of the song or something like that, and I was right, I was close. But song walking through City not helpful. And then we get to my actual search Shazam you can sing into because I was so tired of doing this bullshit that I was like, I just have to solve this by someone telling me what it is,
and Shazam is insufficient for that. Now, did you guys know that the Google app will let you sing into it and it will find the song.
Wow? So it worked.
It worked. I sang it to Google and the first thing that came up baby Elephant Walk by Henry Mancini. There it is. What humbled me a.
Little bit was that it said, act you're a little twelve percent twelve percent. I was like, I mean, I appreciate you getting but you did not have to drag me like that twelve.
You're kind of all over the place, You're all over the map here with your pitch. But I can tell that this is what you're doing. Just don't do that in front of anybody my note. Oh yeah, I think my man did the pink Panther theme too.
Oh oh wow, that's right. Yeah, good call. So yeah, shazam, you can sing into and gang. If you're like me and you have a tune stuck in your head, just pull up that baby girl Google and sing right into her and then boom, you got.
Yourself baby baby walk.
You could have just called me man. You could have just called me man. No, I could You're right, I could have, And maybe that's what I'll do from now on instead of very good to Google. So there was a dragon when I like was so into those like just songs that you hear all the time but didn't know what they were called. And like, well, back in the early days of iTunes, I had a playlist with
all like those those weird tracks on there. Yeah yeah, and a lot of Herb Albert tracks around there too, because like there's the songs you kind of hear.
Like, wait, what is this one?
What are some of those Herb Albert like in the Tiajuana Brass, like Zorba the Greek.
Do you want to tax? I feel like I'm in that. Uh. I think you should leave sketch with Heightacre oh Man. Also do with ak also do the the thing.
That is from Biggie Biggie Biggie Hypnotized Rise that sample, Uh huh that's Herb Alpert, that's Herb Albert.
Yeah, that's cool. Anyway, I know that I'm I'm yeah.
I was really into that kind of s And when you said song with horns and the flude, I said the intro of Tears of a Clown. They anyway got smoky on the brain?
Where is that song from the Baby Elephant Walk?
Like?
Where where would people have recognized it?
When I looked it up, it was actually in an episode of The Simpsons, in the Dance and Homer episode. Yeah, but it was from some it was it was written for some movie that I can't remember right now, because when I looked it up, I saw the Homer thing and I was like, that's.
Where I must have remembered it from Hatari, the nineteen sixty two film.
There you Go that I undoubtedly have seen hundreds of times. No, yeah, I have not.
Yeah, I think I knew it from like The Simpsons and then just it being like throwaway music that people use.
For like comedic bits exactly okay that and Spanish fille per okay, yeah, I know that one.
That's like the whole music when they like when like something goes wrong in the show and then they like to.
Like yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, bingo.
All right, what is something you think is overrated?
Overrated?
By the way, your search history could be an entire podcast.
I appreciate that thing.
Nobody would listen to it. It would be it could be you could have called you could have called me man, you could have just you could have.
My overrated is special seasonings. And what I mean by that is having, you know, a a spice drawer full of things that are like your like crazy barbecue rubs or these like you know, wild you know, flavored salts and stuff like that. And the only reason I say that is not because it's not useful to spice up your food. It's that all of those seasonings are simply combination of seasonings you probably already have in your spice drawer, Like one of the things that I made recently was
my own Cajun seasoning. Because it's like five ingredients and you have all of them. It's not that I don't want to go and buy cage and seasoning or something. It's just that what I have all the shit already, like, why not just make it? So I had, I had I encourage you look at the ingredients on the back of some of your spices and be like, oh damn, I literally holding on to this, which is just these five things that I already have in my spicetra. Right,
just do that. Do that and save A save yourself some money, and b they're probably higher quality ingredients when you're getting them as the individual ingredient itself versus getting them in some like kngeal whatever.
You're like sawdustin to fill up the exactly exactly filled the bottle, a little.
Ing spice apothec are just cooking. You're mixing it up, mixing and blending on your own. Wait so what Wait, so you'll so you won't buy specialty spices. Now you're just saying I can cook up my own, or you're just saying if you ever feel like you have to go out and buy it, first check what it is, because chances are you might you might be able to just make that shit on your own.
I'd say it's I'd say it's more column B, but certainly a little bit of column A. I mean, there's definitely some something that we had in our spice rack where I was like, why, I feel like we probably could have made this. And then we were just, you know, as we're looking up recipes and whatnot, somebody had a homemade cage in the seasoning and I was like, this is bullshit. We have every single one of these things. Let's just make it.
And it's fire garlic, paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper, cooking onion powder time.
You know, OKAYO is googling like an ingredient and then replacement and then just finding out what the closest thing is to that because I don't have that ingredient or it's it's behind thirty layers of old spices exactly, and not the cool, good smelling old spice that I wear every day, but the old spices that after shave I get from crowd, my crowd, my spice rack. Have you seen people? Have you seen the old spice in the bottle the like old time you want. Yeah.
Yeah, recently, I thought it was a joke and I was like, oh, that's right, that's how this ship started.
And I was like, Okay. In my mind, I thought this was a frank on me.
They're the deodorant company that do those weird ass commercials, not old like this ship was old.
Spice is old spice. It had four more l's in the label. Oh no spice. Yeah.
What is something you think is underrated? This is a boring old head answer, But flossing. I've been flossing every day and it feels great. Literally, not only does my mouth smell better, it feels better. And it's something that I underrated for way too long, thinking it was something that I had to do for a week before I went to the dentist. So that exactly. Yes, the dancing, thank you, I thought you meant flossing like that. Yeah,
exactly that. Yeah, underrated under Fortnite dances. Yeah, shout shout out Donald, shoutout Donald on the O G got ripped off? Yeah exactly. You know he never complains about that anyway. Yeah, flossing is something that I do every day now and I don't regret it, and I'll never go back because it feels fucking great, and I recommend that everybody do it.
Yoh, you know what I started doing? What tongue scrape is huge? The andrew that ship, I was like, man, I've been abusing my fucking mouth, like not getting at it with this tongue scraper that do you have?
Do you have a tongue scraper or yeah?
I got one that's like I have a I have a terrible gag reflex, like if I like, if I even try and brush my mols.
Yeah, that's how you know it's working. That's how you know you're working hard enough to get your mouth feeling good is when you almost throw up.
But I have one that's like a like a stainless steel like ring like onst.
You just put your tongueing and he comes right off. U. Man, that ship that comes off of there not what do we call it? I don't know? Small Yeah, yea from the football team and they're playing the Super.
Taking no such team as when you get that spungo off your tongue, Man, spungo off your tongue, go and it's all bets are off.
Yeah, the good news and bad news about flossing is that like once you start doing it regularly and no longer is pretty like things stopped coming out as exactly exactly and you stopped like bleeding, which I had. Now I'm like, am I even really flossing?
Right?
Like?
Am I? Am I really earning the clean guns that I have been working for here? But I I too recently, like within the last year, started flossing every day. It's straight game changer, dude. I gotta tell.
You, I'm not gonna lie. The high I got with my dental hygienis went, wow, so are you flossing more often?
Yes, Queen.
I walked outside. It was like there was a parade for me down the street. They were all like, who's.
The man of them?
There's wedded a three.
And I will not talk about the checking with my dental hygienis that got me to.
Start flossing every day because god, oh right, because they fell back and hit their head right.
It's we are currently in litigation, so we're not going to talk about. Yeah.
I mean, it is a landmark case that would define like what is actual, like you know, like a salt, like yeah, through your own negligence that is a salt really Okay.
All right, the less said about that, the better. Let's take a quick break and we will be off your tongue, spungo, off your tongue.
Go.
The other good thing about the tongue scrapers are also the makeshift shaver. When my kids want to shave with me, Like when I'm shaving, they want to have like a little plastic one. Yeah, the little plastic one, and so they pretend like they're shaving with that.
Yeah, that's fun. That's fun.
And then the tongue scraper tastes like ship for a couple couple of times, but then their cheeks smell like ship. Horrible weird down the side of that face. Oh man, I can't even kiss my kids. Disgusting. Again, the gag reflex. That's how you know the love is working, Yes, when you have to get a little gag reflex before you give them a kiss. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back and tucker the people. This is like the Zapruder films of firing. Like we're
just adding little blocks. Yeah, yeah, we didn't know, said like a real JFK assassination expert. The Zapruder films of fire. There's there's a lot of theories as to what happened here, and I don't know. So Rolling Stone gave us the the genre of this one is succession episode. Yeah, they've been scratching.
We've been like, we've been just trying to figure out what has been going when the firing, because you know, we're like, it couldn't be because he was racist in private, that's what to do, and then or that he's like a misogynistic piece of shit. I'm like, that's pretty much most on air talent at the network from past to present. But yeah, this Rolling Stone piece a little more context,
a little more texture. It sounds like Tucker was feeling himself since his ratings were so high through the roof and that even with like the occasional advertiser exodus, he was still like top dog at the network. And I guess he thought he was basically Fox News himself and that anyone that got in the way, like in his way,
would lose. And his biggest beef well at the network was with the head of communications for Fox, this woman named Irena Briganti, and she has been down with Fox for a minute and has been doing all the dirty work of like coming at reporters who report unflattering shit about the network, blacklisting certain journalists even if they like said one thing wrong about Fox, like oh, you'll never work for us ever, Like I keep a list.
She was Roger Ayle's.
Mouthpiece, okay, and like continued after his ouster and like when you think about like what again, like with succession being loosely based off of you know, the Murdochs, like this, it sounds like this person is Katerina okay, like the like and Katerina is not maybe as aggressive as this one when Irena Burganti is, but apparently like one of those people who knows everything about the company, has done everything to keep the company, like you know, in decent
shape in the press, and it's been a very loyal servant. And I guess due to her loyalty to the Murdochs and her record of service, she's basically unfuck with able at the network. Just like it, like there's like no way because this is the person who cleans up all the messes, like when Hannity fucks up, She's got to clean the messes when O'Reilly's fucking up. She's got to clean the messes. That's what she does, and she gets
in front of all these pieces and all that. So because of that, I guess Tucker thought that she was food and figured he could make a case for, you know, for her being shown the door. And this is just from this Rolling Stone piece quote. The sources say Carlson made his case to Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott, Fox's chief legal officer, yet Dan Murdoch, family air in Foxcorp CEO Lachlan Murdoch, and even other Fox News personalities such
as Sean Hannity. Basically Carls quote. Carlson argued Berganty spent too much time badgering on air talent and in the channel's personnel, and that she was generally incompetent and mean spirited, and that she regularly engaged in dirty tricks against him and other hosts and contributors. One current Fox source with knowledge of the matter described the Carlson Burganty feud as
an intra network death match. Damn so damn So it sounds like again, like I said, the comms person's like, yo, Tucker, you like, go easy with the with all this wild stuff. We're losing advertisers or like like we need to figure out what's going on. He basically took these kinds of words from the person's like I'm the one who has to clean up the fucking mess, so can you work with me here?
And he's like, I don't like her. Yeah, she wasn't nice about the mess I made her clean up. She's kind of sighed under her breath. He's just like one of the one of those people who's never happy, Like yeah, he's got that Trump thing where he's just not happy unless he's like fucking with somebody or right, you know, in a fight of some sort that is helping him, you know, feel better about Like, well, I'm okay, so I'm the biggest dog at the network, right, but like,
how do I prove? How do I like keep getting wins for my ego? You know?
I mean that seems like the next like logical step if you are if you are like beaten aka fired from the network, your next fight is with who has quote unquote betrayed you. And so he's just like trying to take it out as much as pot But I'm guessing, I mean, you know, but.
He's been trying to do this since twenty twenty. Apparently that's fuck trying to get her fired and there and apparently everyone who's who works at the company and knows anything was like, bro, Tucker, you you don't want you don't want me smoke. Another person who spoke anonymously the Rolling Stone said quote, he really thought he was going to make a change, And I kind of shook my head. It was such a terrible idea. It was such a
clear suicide mission. But then again, at the time, I guess he thought he was big enough to do anything.
Yeah, that's perfect that I was a former Fox News talent.
Talent.
Yeah, someone knows, Oh, you can't come for her. Yeah, no, bro, that's that's why would you do that? So, knowing that it's not the whole story, but it definitely like now you add up, it's like, oh, he's got like he's he's bringing these lawsuits because of his own behavior on the on the on the set obviously, like his comments just lead to more and more like advertiser difficulty, and he's trying to come for the neck of the comms
director who knows where everybody is buried. Yeah, when you like, I can't imagine the person who had to clean up the messes in the Roger Ayles era and beyond has little insight into the mess that we don't even know about. Yeah at Fox. So yeah, at the end of the day, we're like, well, she's sitting on more information than Tucker outwardly like exposes himself for so I think we're gonna
go with her. But again, he is pissed, and like you were saying at the top, Jack, there's like this Axios piece where that says like we don't know what exactly is going on, but apparently him and Elon have had some kind of conversation about potentially working together without any specifics.
So yeah, I don't know.
I mean that tracks Elon is just such a sucker. He's gonna try and work with anybody who's down to work.
Oh yeah, but I mean also someone who's like on this same sort of level of like, man, aren't these like woke people just like so annoying. It's talking about like pay people of fair wage or like don't be racist at your factory, Like I'm sick of this, right, And yeah, who better than the guy who's like this is how white men fight honorably? Yeah, fucking outline in that fight.
Yeah, so I feel like they're gonna create like a weird like it just my guess would be Tucker's next move is like I'm moving to Austin and we're gonna like set up shop in Austin with like, you know, create the weird conservative Hollywood Joe Rogan, but in.
The studio next door. Exactly right.
But here's like I'm curious, now, like what what the evolution of the network's gonna be, right, because since Tucker left, the ratings have been bad. Yeah, and so they need That's like.
Basically when people come to your buffet for the roast beef carving station, right and that shit's gone, people are gonna come. They want their where's the red meat at?
You're telling me holding him up?
I mean, he's like he's holding his own in the late night part. But that's a huge hole that is left from Tucker Carlson not being there that I'm sure they're gonna find someone who's like they're probably just gonna hook chat, GPT up to mind com or something and be like, yeah, do your thing, yeah, saving money does.
I think that's one of the things that's intriguing is the like the decision didn't make sense, so like, yeah, it's gonna hurt their ratings kind of transparently from the moment that they made it. He's their most popular person. They didn't have like a replacement that made any sense ready to go, So it's yeah, they were just like that. That's why, like all of this, like these are all things that make sense for a firing, but for this firing where it was like we got to get this
done like post haste immediately. I think there's I it'll be interesting to see as details emerge about like what happened at the dinner between Tucker Carlson, Rupert Murdoch then fiance who the day after the dinner they called it off and who was like Tucker Carlson's biggest fan. Like that feels like there was some personal animosity there. Yeah.
Yeah, it's like, oh, you're trying to come for Arena Briganti and my fiance exactly.
No, no, no, no.
Nope, time to clip your wings or not today.
But yeah, apparently there was another thing that like Newsmax was offering him more money than Fox to get him to go over to Newsmax, and Fox offered him twenty million dollars to do nothing. Wow, twenty million a year I think for the rest of his kind, Like, how about this, we'll pay him just.
If they tried to like fire like fire him, but also keep him under contract. Like so there's some kind of.
Yeah, I don't know if it was to deal with like whatever was left in his contract, but apparently there's an offer of twenty million dollars to not work like.
A non com just side post clause or something. Yeah, huh is that I mean, is that whole even fillable? Like is there someone as hateful that they're like, yep, this is exactly who we're going to put in there. Or do you think this signal is like an entire direct swing in the kind of content they're even going to try to put in that slot they.
Think Jesse Waters would be.
My guess, Jesse Waters is the most like he's the most available to just slip into that and has absolutely no problem saying the most vile, disturbing non sense ever. Yeah, Or it's like do they do the thing where it's like, hey, maybe we go to the minors and go to podcasting. Let's see what kind of right wing podcasters we can call up to the you know, yeah.
I don't think you're wrong. Arena Brigante is going to like what we've been saying. No, we got to take our names out of the rounding miles unfortunately.
All right, that's fine, that's fine, I mean whatever. Yeah, Like y J said, I don't care. I don't care, go ahead and try and break I don't break my try and break my glass.
They won't.
You can't.
You can't.
You can't you pray, Come on, go ahead and break you can't. I'm gonna break them right, go ahead, I don't care. All right. Inside it is teacher Appreciation week. Last week was teacher Appreciation Day, and oh it's just is it there week? Now? There there's I think I think it's like at my kids school, there's a teacher appreciation like week. Oh yeah, I think that's just yeah. Yeah. So just to like give some check ins of what
that looks like. So on Tuesday, on Teacher Appreciation Day in the United States, you could get one free select meal at TGA Fridays Let's Go and a complimentary egg McMuffin at some McDonald's locations. So I think we're done here. Like that's all I just wanted to check in to make sure they were being taken care of, and it sounds like they are.
So you know what's wild though, too, Like as you say this, USA today has like a thing of like here all like the deals you can get for teacher appreciation Week, Right, it's like, how about like here's the legislation that we should be supporting teachers. They're like, hey man, you want to get a free move move, shake and move wows what's moo yahburger? Like does they literally have that office depot man? Like that's so offensive where they're
like office depot man, come get some fucking school supplies. Yeah, you pay for it out of pocketing out of here anyway. But also like if you're gonna get people free crocs and stuff, do that.
I guess yeah, yeah, I mean I definitely don't stop doing that. But it just feels like that is the that's the least to it. I think that's the least corporations can do. Now, what's the least legislators can do? This is a yes and situation. Yes, not a not a no bar.
Is a yes to my yes, I will take your free fired house SUBSAMD with you. Yes and a wage right, many teachers earn less than a family living wage, and a twenty twenty two study found that teachers earn twenty three point five percent less than the comparable college graduates, like people with the same level of education. Right, going into being a teacher, one of the most important jobs
in our society is like a bad financial decision. Like I remember when I was like getting out of school, like the whole those who can't do teach, like that being just a thing that shitty people said, Right, But yeah, there's just a growing shortage of teachers. More than three quarters of states are experiencing a teacher shortage. But Arizona has the answer. So one Arizona School District is building a tiny company town of modestly priced studio apartments next to the school.
Company town. I got to keep an eye on you. You know that feels penitentiary esque.
Good for school spirit.
Yeah, Geno Value Unified School District is using federal money to build ten studio units, each four hundred square feet four hundred square feet on a vacant lot behind an elementary school, where teachers will pay roughly what but at a steep discount miles just like the TGI Friday is the deal.
Yo, If you got to live in a fucking four hundred foot square or four hundred square foot studio apartment and already live next to the school.
Next to your workplace, I believe you're.
Supposed to be like because when the real company township be like and you don't have to go nowhere because we own your ass.
Yeah, well, then charge the rent that's five hundred and fifty per month, which is below market rate, but you are living at work, which is tough. I remember when you could get a studio in La in two thousand and nine for five point fifty.
Yeah, below marketing is such a ridiculous statement, considering that rent is so inflated right now. It's it's it's like saying it's honestly, that is probably a little bit above what it should be for that amount of space anyway, So to say that is just.
Like, yeah, below market just means like not as greedy.
Yeah, exactly, Like.
Four hundred square feet on the premises of where you work is below market in terms of what a renter would probably be looking for. But that's not taken into consideration when life people are talking about this. Yeah exactly, but yeah, so teachers very pay can vary widely. In some states like Oklahoma and Mississippi, teachers make an average
of less than fifty thousand dollars a year. And even when you get people who are trying to address the problem or claim they're trying to address the problem, that's oftentimes in a super shitty way. You're not gonna believe this, But Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently signed the Learns Act into law, which raised the minimum salary for teachers to fifty thousand dollars in Arkansas, which, first of all, below the living
wage in Arkansas. Second of all, it was rushed through because the pay raise was basically a smoke screen for a voucher program that will decimate the public school system. Aha, and there's Florida like bands on discussing gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexual reproduction. Of course, of course thrown in there.
Yeah you gotta yeah, you come in like, yeah, yeah, Like we've done the calculus. We can afford to raise the pay this much because these vouchers are about to fuck things up on.
The other end. That will help out a ton. Yeah, man, that's wow.
It's again like you're saying, like even when outwardly you're trying to do something right, or at least in this instance in Arkansas where she's the governor, you're still getting a fat middle finger.
Yeah. Bernie introduced a bill to make a federal minimum wage for teachers that would raise public school teacher salaries nationwide two sixty thousand dollars or higher, and of course the GOP pushback, claiming teachers should be paid more, but it shouldn't be left out. But it shouldn't be the big government telling you that it should be the states, which is exactly what's happening now and it's clearly not working. But Biden also seems to be reluctant to make any
big moves. I'm paying teachers because you know, he's got to run it, run America like a fucking corporation.
And so also, shame on you man, your fucking partner, your wife is an educator. Yeah, and you can't the fuck at whatever.
I don't. I'm not acting surprise. I'm just like, yeah, fuck this guy, like you.
Can't even this is These are the easiest wins to farve out as a politician. There's no els again, and unless you're unless you're worried about the sounds that your donors make or like dark money groups are gonna make. But like, for people from their perspective, it's not a single person who's like, man, teachers are paid way too much.
Not a single person.
I just watched the video this dude get fucking punched out by his student because he took their cell phone because they were cheating on a test. Yeah, and see, oh my man took one to the eye. And then the same teacher got pepper sprayed.
I was gonna say it was the same teacher.
Same teacher in Tennessee. That was the latest one he got pepper spray. The clip before was when he got fucking punched out by a kid who's like taking my phone because I'm cheating on the test.
I'm like, man, the.
Shit that people have to go through and the lack of support, Like even like that teacher who was shot by the student who brought a gun to school, they're like, oh, that's a that's a workplace injury that should be covered byron. Shit, It's like not anything, nothing beyond there's no other real negligence here.
Hey, just what comes with the territory? Like really, yeah, Biden's plan last year was to encourage governors to tap into COVID relief money to bump up teachers back. So, bitch, yeah, exactly.
You need to show me the entire breakdown. I mean, like, yes, could I go online and look at the entire budget and then see where I can square a few dollars here and there. Yeah, it's called the defense budget, Thank you very much. It's just like I you need I don't know. It's just so it's in a desperate political moment, taking these easy w's seems like priority number fucking one.
He's not desperate, though, he's not desperate. It's because they know, man, the biggest fucking gift these Republicans gave the Democrats was them going so hard on abortion. Yeah, so now all they're gonna do is like we're gonna codify Roe v.
Wade. No, you're not.
Gonna keep dangling that shit because it's it's such a powerful, like motivational mechanism that you've stumbled upon by accident. And that's why I'm like, I don't know, like get ready for barely any promises twenty twenty four.
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you know, I agree, with you that it may not be as like desperate, but it's still just it's I feel like the bigger a swing, or rather the more because the pendulum just
swings back one way versus the other. You know, you go from Obama to then Trump and now we're like looking at Biden, but like giving us a an extra push the other way, since the since we're not in such a desperate political situation to maybe get Biden in twenty twenty four is just like, why aren't we thinking to do as many positive things as possible so that the swing back the other way isn't so drastic, because it's just like I feel like it's just setting it
up for an even harder pendulum swing the other way to get whoever it would be in twenty eight.
Well, we talked about this.
It's because there's this like, because of all the consultants and that have been working on decades on electoral politics, it's like it all follows the same thing of like you speak slightly to the left, you don't deliver on any of it.
Yeah, and that's.
That's how they nudge it a little bit more by saying whatever in the primary, then in the general, the sh deliver on it. Yeah, and again because they know at the end of the day, the thing that they're like, man, we don't really even have to do this because what the Republicans are proposing is so terrifying that it's more just to be like, yeah, we don't.
Have to don't promise too much. And that's what's so cynical about it.
And there's also that like really dumb accepted wisdom of like don't go too far left. You know, in a reelection bid, you don't want that to happen. You don't want to get in over your skis promising this stuff when meanwhile, we're in like when you read the climate of like just the tone of the room and what people are asking for.
They want they want this shit to go left.
Too far left, pay teachers fifteen thousand more dollars a year, too far left.
And that's but that's what's wild, right, is like they've co op just to be able to say like, oh, it's too much, Like no, what we're saying is like the bear min me.
Truly.
They there's also evidence that this strategy of just generally gesturing towards Trump might not be working. I mean, it's it's a fucking poll, so polls. Who the fuck knows. But he's apparently, according to a new ABC News Washington Post, Pole, set to lose by seven points in a hypothetical general election against Trump. So all the like, this is the smart move, and he's just being like, what do you want to do? Have Trump in there and Biden's like a shoe in to beat Trump. I think that's probably
not the case. Like that. Everybody assumes that, you know, whenever, like the same thing that happened last time is going to happen again, and it just that never is the case, right everyone.
Yeah, And I think for as much as Biden isn't Trump, that's not enough for people.
It's not enough.
People are way too in tune with what they are owed and what their situation looks like that they're like, you can't just be like I don't know, man, we got to do better. They're like, hold on, you make the decisions. Yeah right, Actually, you gotta do better. That's why you gotta vote many And if, maybe, if if Biden's physical state didn't have him looking like the fucking nosgool up there, I would be a little more be like, well, you never know, maybe he's got some new tricks of his sleep.
But my man is like he looks like he's about to blow away, Like he's threadbare.
Got nothing going on.
Is that Jerry Seinfeld who just came in there? For a second, I feel like I just heard Jerry Seinfeld popping. I forget what you were saying. Look at that guy, he's ad his wet his hair looks like spiderwebs. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back. And so is the year nineteen eighty nine. This summer ps to be the biggest movie summer in years because of the pandemic. Obviously, think my best year.
Pretty quiet, your best oh years old? Killing I have Batman bike shorts, will wear every day. My parents had Batman bike shorts.
Is such a specific butt like that was? That was when Axel Rose started wearing bike shorts as like just a thing like T shirt bike shorts and yep, that was like, well, I guess that's okay. I had Batman logos going all up the side of the leg.
I remember my parents like I will fall asleep and they would have to take them off of me because I'm like, no, these are my pajamas? Also, yeah, and like I just part of me anyway.
So I think that year did make a mark and the you know, brain trusted Hollywood has looked at the metrics and were like, we're just gonna do that one over again, because yeah, so biggest movie of the year, as Miles mentioned, as Miles head on his child hips on his child legs Batman, so shout out Legs. So in that in place of Batman, we are getting The Flash, a new movie that, according to the trailers, is just
basically Michael Keaton as Batman. Again, Like it's full up of like Michael Keaton saying I'm Batman and like his first line in the movie also you want to get nuts, Let's get nuts, which I guess is a line from the first one. I forgot that. Oh yeah, you are my number one. I remember that. Wait, but does Michael Keaton say you want to get nuts, Let's get nuts
or the joker line? Yeah, it feels like he's like his Bruce Wayne is a little It's like I would not want to I guess that's true of all Bruce. Bruce is Wayne, but just a guy I wouldn't want to hang out with. It seems seems like a billionaire with like trauma. It's like he could he could just go to me, maybe a couple of therapy sessions which collects old weapons. Yeah. Yeah, So anyways, that's coming back.
People are like, oh my god, it's amazing. The second biggest movie of nineteen eighty nine was Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade. This year we have what, will, according to Harrison Ford, be the last Indiana Jones movie again. I think he said that about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull again. They have just wildly missed on the name that they've given it. Like the first three were all all made sense to me. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
too much. This one, the Dial of Destiny. Does that do anything for you, guys?
No, No, that sounds like it sounds like you would do something for a seventy year old person.
I was gonna say that also sounds like a bad rom com title. Dial Destiny. I want to call away. I have to.
I've forgot to mention this when you you brought up the Flash movie. There was an article that was going around last week because Ezra Miller. You know, they got all this fucking legal trouble and like all these allegations that we've heard constantly about and we've seen it on video ourselves of if this person just acting wild.
In public, truly, why the fucking.
The production designer of the film said that the film, Oh, hold on, I just have to I just have to find this this ship.
How do you how do you even come out and say this? How do you say this?
Basically said that the film looks so good that quote, people will forget they're like this, that they will forget their history of abuse because the movie looks so lit. How do you throw yourself under the buzz Like, what is the point of falling on someone else's sword to be like, no, no, no, it's chill. All that bad shit they did, You're gonna forget about that? Yeah, what's the point?
Because if people were just asking, they said in this article, in this interview with the CBC, this guy, Paul Osterbery said, Oscar Bay says he's not too concerned about how the story surrounding Miller will affect the film.
People will forget that this film could star Woody Allen and everyone would still go because that's how it looks, that's how good The production design was that's wild. Yeah. So anyways, we got Dial of Destiny, which I'm pretty sure the Last Crusade was built as like the last Indiana Jones movie. So they're doing the exact same move
as they did in nineteen eighty nine. Also coming out The Little Mermaid, Disney's remake of a movie that came out in fall of nineteen eighty nine, and what like if the previous live action remakes of Disney films have taught us anything, it's that they will not be adding much no to this, Like, they don't change a whole lot. This is just a skinning of like the original film with live actors and and better performers.
I think I think we're gonna get some good I mean the performances. At the end of the day, you're not having to do much lifting creatively because you're like, yeah that that script we already.
And just in terms of a straight straight up transposition of what was happening in nineteen eighty nine, they're really they're really doing it.
If I if I've been on record on the show talking about my disdain for live action remixs of Disney movies, because I know that we have talked about this in the office for years, basically since The Jungle Book and Lion King. You just and I know and Jack, I know you. I mean, well, I'm not gonna put you on the spot and say you share this level of disdain, but I know that you too have observed you just cannot make these animal faces do what a Disney movie does an animation.
You just cannot, right, you cannot, and you may not.
And you may and you may not.
That's why you were so mad about Flounder. Yeah, and we talk about since they announced this, I've been like, first of all, like it didn't work in The Lion King, and those are beautiful animals. Yes, undersea creatures are ugly and terrified, weird, and they are supposed to like they're cute in the original movie. But like flounder looks really flounder, Yes, he looks. Yeah, flounders which, by the way, like actual flounders, have their eyes on the So what is what?
What is this even?
It's a tropical fish of some sort, but something of some sort. Yeah, I'm just like, what if instead of the original round, cute faced cartoon character, it was like a a fish skeleton mixed with like Pete Davidson, like it feels like there go what they've gone with.
Right, I'm just never I'm I you know, I am. I'll say this like, you know, happy for Halle Bailey, like getting out there and becoming the star, even a bigger star than she already is. Like this is of course a huge moment for her. We will see some awesome The music that will come out of this will be amazing, much like the Lion King the music coming out of that was amazing. But just stop it with the animals, like what are you? What is I don't like we can you can't do we do?
Just no one Like I wouldn't care if Flounder looked all cute in the live action version, like.
That's a weird That's the one thing I feel like people are like, yo, you didn't need to be that real find finding.
Nemo that ship just it's okay if it's a little pick Sarry, just you you you own that, do it?
Nobody's out here and being like man, Mermaids is real.
It is not how they would be interacting with the undersea life here man, Like I'm fine with the Mermaids, but don't freak, don't I don't want to look like I'm seeing some ship that washed up on the Santa Monica Beach.
Yeah, you know what I mean. Like this flounder looks he looks busted, he looks like he's got a problem.
They say he look like Steve Buscemi, I think, is what they're saying on Twitter. There are cuter like with Flounder. I was like, maybe they'll find you know, as Katie Golden has pointed out on Twitter, there are cute fish like they're a parrot fish that as long as you're not too freaked out by the fact that they have a set of human teeth up front, which you know takes a.
Little while to get over. But they they're goofy. They they do fun stuff like they're but they were just like, nope, uh huh, it's gonna look like they've seen some ship. They're gonna make it look like Flounder has seen some dark ship.
Oh yeah. Also, in my in my own fear of not giving people enough credit, like the three D animators who are given these jobs to work on these specific things obviously do incredible work, and the ship looks awesome, but it is a effort completely in vain in that you are trying to recreate an emotion that is incapturable in a three D animated space. When you're trying to make something look quote unquote.
Real, you just can't smile.
Whole point. That was the whole point of Disney movies in the first place.
To Sebastian was a no win. By the way, I can't total no win. Crabs. Crab have never looked at anything like others.
Yeah, and the Sebastian gonna rip his own arm off. No, but that's what they do.
Yeah, they do when they're in a bit of a spot, you know what I mean.
That's what I'm grow that year back that I will forgive it. I Sebastian rips's own arm office movie, give me that terrify. Some children teach these, teach them about Archa Podds.
So up to this point you might be saying, all right, guys, but like these are huge movies, and like it takes, you know, nostalgia has a cycle. Ghostbusters Too came out in June of eighty nine, and later this year I didn't know this. We're getting the sequel to Ghostbusters Afterlife. They're doing a sequel to that, and and this sequel takes them to New York City, so they're really.
Baby yeah wow, yeah, Okay.
There's also the New Ninja Turtles animated movie, which, even though the original Ninja Turtles movie didn't come out until ninety, like eighty nine was the year of full yone Ninja Turtles, Like this was when the cereal was introduced to the TV show The Video Games. By the way, this detail on the Ninja Turtle cereal I had forgotten. The cereal was described on the box as crunchy sweetened Ninja nets with Ninja Turtle marshmallows. Pizza shaped marshmallows were later added.
The Ninja net cereal pieces looked suspiciously similar to checks, so they were just like, oh, yeah, these are ninja.
Nets, you know.
Yeah, you know how one of the Ninja Turtles has a net with them at all times?
Yep, do this?
Yeah, I love that marketing person like, well, obviously we're just making this with loose checks, and we're adding our own marshmallows.
Like what they're gonna call these it could have just meaties, and talked about the similarity between wheaties and like turtle food, you know, right, flaky that flaky like fish Turtle Food. There's also on TV in twenty twenty three, We're getting well. Rosanne is already here, Quantum Leap is here. Doogie Howser dropping The second season was Doogie Howser eighty nine. I think so, yeah, is it Who's the Boss reboot in
the works? They watch remake that nobody asked for. Even Matt Locke is coming back?
Matt really yeah, aren't the Well I don't know, isn't anybody who watched Matt Lock probably you know, not with us anymore.
I'm still here, man, That's what I've been saying for years. Matt Lock fans, we are still here. You're gonna be on the watch list because Joe Biden is still our president. Facts. Okay, ye favorite show. You know what I mean. Yeah, he's still here.
No you wrong?
Yeah wrong? Like even like the reuniting of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck was about, like the invention of the Air Jordan, which was, you know, probably hitting its original peak popularity in like eighty nine. It's it's just yeah, we're stuck. It's fine, it is. It's what what it is.
Did you guys see Air? I did? Miles n I heard Michael Jordan wasn't in it, so I said, fuck that. Yeah, he's He has one quote unquote one line where he says, hello, I loved it. I loved air. I thought it was great.
Jack.
Did you I did not damn did not care. I remember him saying, I firing.
I wanted to like it. So iron this out, iron this out right now?
Yeah? What what didn't you like about it? Because I'm totally I mean obviously I'm completely open to that. And you know, and but we know how toxic you can get when we start debating movies. Oh I get toxic. Take a breath first.
We know you, we know it. It just I don't know, it felt thin to me. Like it opened with a montage of like eighties nostalgia that just felt like it could have been on, Like like all the needle drops were just like so down the middle eighties hit songs,
the character watch Me like that. The speech, the climactic speech that Matt Damon gives to Michael Jordan, like didn't really I don't know, it just didn't resonate with me as somebody who's like, okay, you have Michael Jordan about like the way that he discovers he's great is by watching and rewatching the tape of him hitting the game winning shot in the championship game, and then like that's the only footage, Like what what did they only license
a single piece of footage Michael Jordan's playing, because.
Well, they wasted all that money on licensing all those songs, so it's kind of late that go where was it going to be?
I don't know, it just felt like there was not It's I think it's part partially like as a person who grew up around basketball and who like I don't know, like has like red books about like Jordan and what makes him different and stuff like that, it just felt shallow and kind of reductive.
Okay, I think that is a completely fair take.
Yeah, I think you're gonna say, Okay, well, like that's some old head ass take. No.
I mean, I think I think that's completely fair because honestly, one of my favorite things about it is that it's short.
I love that it's quick, because.
The whole thing is my thing about the movie is that if you go into that movie, I don't think there's anybody who's watching that movie unless you are like Jack and someone who has grown up with basketball or is intimately ailing yeah, exactly, or it's just intimately familiar with like listen about how there you go shout out my miles Jack on my booties, but like intimately familiar with the I don't know, the shoe game of any time before the nineties. It's like your association with Michael
Jordan is probably like entwined with Nike. Like you probably don't even see Mike, you don't. You don't think of Michael with any other shoe period. So if you're watching that movie, you're thinking about that or like getting to the end, like well, I mean, I know what's gonna happen, Like what what is there even? I know who this guy is exactly, I know who this guy is. What
is even what is even the point of this? So the fact that it was so kind of like short and to the point and just I mean, you know, if I'm being real, I mean Phil Knight and some of his business practices I think are of course deplorable and political giving practices.
Yeah, but they use like the Nike mottos, like the core mottos that like he has up on his wall of like job's not done until it's done. And like all this stuff they use that as like they they cut to that as like little chirons that they like show you in between scenes. And I don't know, it just felt like spiritually empty to me to like tell this story about It's like, wow, Nike almost didn't become the massive international behemoth that is doing damage all over.
It already was right, It's just that it didn't become even bigger.
So is the movie.
But so Jack the movie good on an airplane. I think it would be a good airplane watch. I also think I might watch it again with my wife and be like, oh, I actually enjoy this.
You know. It was just I think ninety percent of my movie takes are like yeah, I just wasn't like in a great mood. Wasn't like feeling that movie at that time. You know, I will tell you I'd come full circle on this take. I like it.
Yeah. I will say that one of my least favorite things about the show The Bear is how much they're constantly like Chicago, this is Chago and the beginning of the of air. I was watching it just like do you have to hammer this so hard to make the point? Because it's not like the rest of the movie isn't trying to hammer that point home the entire time. It's like, at no point you're like, I wonder what time this movie said it?
What myles, there's like a montage with people like doing Rubik's cubes.
It's really like game it's too long.
It is too long and too just like well, you know, because you know what it is. It's it's not I think in the end it's not. It's like for us but not really yes, because we were there. Dude, I don't need this fucking recap. But I'm sure for like younger people who would see it like what the wow?
What is what was this time?
And I think that's I almost want to say, like that is what I feel like studio notes do to a movie, because like I feel the same way about like any show that's about video games or something. You're watching the show and it's just like, this is annoyingly what is this video game? Exactly? This is annoyingly hitting the hammer on the head. It's like, yeah, I've heard a pac Man, thank you?
Right? Yeah. I don't know, because like I like the social network despite the fact that, like you know, I don't think Facebook is cool. Like the fact that I like watched this and like wasn't on board with like loving Phil Knight and Sonny Baccaro like that. I've I've done that before. I've liked it before. It was just like something just felt like pet and sort of lazy about it to me.
Well, I mean, look, this is our time, because clearly if this feels with all this stuff coming back around, I mean it's like it's like partial studio and network laziness. And the other part is like more millennial aged people probably influencing things too, like on someone you know that sh would you know that ship would go? Although they should be hiring us because we got some real ideas over here.
Yeah.
Well yeah, and also this my take like it as far as film, like the film industry is concerned, is objectively wrong. The like it got an A Cinema score. Everybody seems to really love this movie except for me, So I'm not and I've listened to like even the people from like blank Check and The Flagrant Ones, like all those people like this movie. So I just I don't know. That's fine what you you as an individual, that's what that's what that's how you took it. That's
how it goes, No, I'm bad. I'm bad. I shouldn't even feel something bad about me. So well, then if you're bad, then I'm Wesley Snipes. Hey, Hey, you think you're bad? Thank you? What are they going to from my head? Put that ship out there? Who directed that? Was that? Who directed the bad video? I feel like it was Scorsese or something like that? Uh it was Yeah, Scorsese directed the bad Wow, holy ship? That was eighty seven.
Eighty seven. What a time to be alive. Well, Miles, mm hmm, thank you so much for having me, Yes, Miles, such a pleasure.
Show appreciate it.
Yeah, you can find him.
Daniel's such a pleasure having you out, pleasure to be here.
Where can people also pleasure to follow you?
You can find me all over the internet at DJ Underscore, d A n L. Danly. You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, and TikTok. And I'm saying it here and now I'm riding Twitter until the wheels fall off. I'm not going to Blue Sky, I'm not going to any of these other things. When Twitter is done, I'm never posting again. It's over.
What is that thing you're saying about white supremacy. No, say the whole say the whole.
Thing anyway, So I'm running Twitter to the wheels fall off and then I've done with that shit. So if you all of a sudden seven stop posting on Twitter, it's because the wheels have fallen off entirely.
Well, you could say they already have, but huh, yeah, I'm curious what for you defines the wheels falling off Twitter? Because I'm like, I'm not necessarily I'm not protesting it by taking my I don't post enough to be like my content will live elsewhere, right because I just I'm using it less and every now and then I'll look
at it. But what to you, I'm curious what what is your The wheels have won't truly come off, and I'm off this, I think, I mean, you know, if I were to start listing things, I think it would be pretty easy to see that a lot of those things are kind of like already happening. But I think think if there is a total separation of the people who you know, we trust as like news sources and just like reputable minds being silenced in different ways like
purposefully silenced, where are not allowed to tweet anymore. In this and the and the platform truly becomes a space that is exclusively run by people who actually pay for the service, and there's no way to access it without having like bought into Elon's Twitter. I think the wheels will have completely come off, right because you can still kind of get what you need to get. Yeah, but I mean, I know to your point, though there's the algorithm.
They're trying to gain things too, to keep some things.
Are Arguably, I can still use Twitter more or less the way that I used it by just hanging out in my following tab and just not looking at the FORO you and ignoring every blue check because it's pretty it's pretty clear who decided to pay for the money and decided that was worth it. Oh yeah, I don't really.
Chuse those people any because now blue checks are just the people who come up with the worst fucking takes. Truly, Y're like wow, And in a way it is funny how subconsciously you're like, oh, that must be like a professional in here, dehumanizing unhoused people. And I'm like, no, that's someone with fourteen followers exactly sending his rent money.
So and so bunch of numbers as we like to say.
Yeah, yeah, Dane, is there a work of media that you've been enjoying?
There is? And I the funny thing is, I think I'm gonna do the thing where you're describing a picture on the on the old Twitter. But I'll share this in the chat right now. There's been this, there's been one of these these memes. Y'all ever heard of these things? These memes? Yeah, I love them, ma ma is. It's where someone quote tweets a tweet, but it's a picture of like someone saying the tweet. And have you you guys,
have you guys seen Kunk on Earth? Yes? Yeah, Okay, I will say I think it's kind of a joke that only works for one episode, but it's so god damn funny. And it's the host of Kunk on Earth saying this thing. And I think this dude is one of the guys in Choppo Trap House. I think, isn't that who this guy is? Or maybe it's just a picture of that dude. I don't know.
It looks like it could be Virtuil Texas or Jason Schwartz.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
For a second, I thought it was Jason Schwartz, right exactly.
But no, But anyway, the tweet, the tweet that I the tweet that I love so much is it's the woman from Kunk on Earth. I don't know. I don't think I can do the accident, but it's it's easy to think of Italy as nothing more than spaghetti, garlic, bread and parmesan cheese, but a quick look at their history reveals they invented fascism and thinking of Kunk on Earth saying that is so wait, what is Kunk on Earth? It is a show on Netflix that you got to watch.
You can give it, give it one episode. It's kind of like David Attenborough if they were just wrong about everything Oli g David as.
The BBC show, How the fuck do I not?
Okay, give it an episode? And you were gonna fucking live I'm in I'm in off. That description amazing, it's really funny. Miles wonderful having you as well where thank you for find you? And is there a work of media you've been enjoying?

I would love for it to be stuck for the Lakers, and I'd love for the current trend for the Sixers.
Yeah, but like I said, last time the Sixers and Lakers played each other in the finals, nine to eleven happened the following September, So you know, if so, if it doesn't happen, I will say that was really good of human and I will use that take till the wheels come off. You can also find me on four twenty fiance with Sophia Alexandro or right now we're talking about love is Blind and wow, that's something else. I don't really have any tweets that I like, so I'll
just say, you know, go honestly, here's my thing. I'll challenge y'all if you see somebody selling food like we have good street.
Vending culture in Los Angeles.
Hell yeah.
If you live in a place where your street vending culture is like emerging or whatever, I really challenge you when you see people in your area serving up something try it. Yeah, because I bought I Love this banana pudding from this lady on the street.

I had to hit her on her Venmo.
She I was like, Yo, can I give you this? And she's like, oh, just She's like I hit her like through her Venmo. She's like just getting started.

And again it's all and that's what I get for entertaining, you know, just people in your communities doing something, telling to you know, sharing their gifts and talents.
