Chinese Zeit Balloon 2/3: Chinese Spy Balloon, Kyrie Irving, Apple Watch, John Waters, Austin Butler, George Santos

like a fucking balloon over Montana. Um that maybe that's something. Um, and it's one of those days. But we're gonna talk about it. We're gonna talk about this ship, um, the Spy balloon. I highly recommend to anybody watch a video of the balloon, and we talked about it more on

Monday's Full EPP. But uh, there's this guy who posted a video and it just appears to be just like a dot, a fixed point in the sky, which I didn't know that was possible with a balloon, Like I thought a balloon would be getting blown all over the place, and it just looks like and that's what so here, Well, we'll just play a little bit of it. Let me share my screen with you. Unto you, I don't know what I have. Okay, that's the moon. It's a little fuzzy out here and it's a kind of a crudy phone,

but it's slightly overcast. Well, what the heck is that? That's not the sun? And according to my little planet guide, it's not a planet. What the heck is that it's there's not really a reference point to tell, like if it's moving, but the guy says it's completely stationary and it looks like it's just the moon. So my bigger question is, because I am not on a issue, why do people think it's a Chinese spy? Because that's what the US military, the US government has said it is.

And then China came out and was like, it's actually not a spy. It's um, it's a passenger or like a civilian weather balloon. But it seems like China is acknowledging that it does. It is from China and they're saying it blew off course. Um it's but I like it's very it's very weird. The video is kind of eerie. Um. But the response from various people online. Is funny to me because like, you can take this in any direction. Obviously, I'm going to take it in more of like a

UFO direction. I don't I don't think it's a UFO, but I think it's interesting. It's you know, I'm gonna just out of sight, amount of mind. It's not over my city. Monday's guest Dye is like this Jordan Peel, This is some Jordan Peel ship. Um. But Jack Psobiac said, just posted the video and said we were bought and sold a long time ago. Welcome to New America, which I'm like, how do you get there from a video of a a spy balloon? Like we said, Jack, it's

a slow newsday and people's kid drummed up about something. Yeah, but then they're also anyways. We talked about them more on Monday, but I did have to acknowledge the we were bought and sold a long time ago. True, it has nothing to do with China or this balloon, but yeah, we're owned by corporations and error. Society is not dictated by the things. You think it's dictated, but I think it's dictated by whatever's gonna make people the most money

welcome to New America. Motherfucker's um Kyrie irving this motherfucker so we already know, like he said some anti semitic ship earlier in the season, Half apologized, came back and has been bawling out of his mind for the Brooklyn Nets in a way that's like I don't want to talk about that, you know, because he's piece of ship.

It almost seemed like he was like, you guys, I'm just gonna play so well that you know, I win you back Nets fans, And this morning he informed the Nets like leadership that he wants to be traded by Thursday, and they're just like, we're like, they're also like near the top of the Eastern Conference, Like it doesn't make it, just like doesn't make any sense. Also, will somebody else

take him? I don't know, probably, like probably enough teams are desperate that like, yeah they would, they would take him. But what a mess I feel I feel for Nets fans and Kevin during Apple Watch is trending. Do you wear an apple Watch? Actually, my Apple Watch just recently died, and my mother told me she was trying to get me one for my birthday And I said, why, what

told me? No, I mean I used to, but I only bought it for the selfish reason of I was single when I bought it, and I wanted someone to take pictures of me when I was by myself, and you can do the selfie button, So that is actually the only reason I bought it. And to work out in big quotes, but now I have built a healthy workout routine that I don't need to watch to motivate me to go to the gym. There you go, do it.

I had my watch program to be like get out of Bed, Piece of Ship Wow, and super producer Brian just said smart watch biometrics don't work for brown skin people, and fuck the whole watch. I'm not buying another one of those things. Well, another thing they're not working for is being able to tell whether the people wearing them

are dead or not. As of September, Apple watches have come equipped with technology meant to detect car crashes and alert dispatchers, and it's a more sensitive upgrade to software on Apple devices now several years old that can detect when to use their falls and then dial for help. But the latest innovation appears to send the device into overdrive because it keeps mistaking skiers and some other fitness enthusiasts for car crash victims. So emergency call centers are

just have been like rendered inoperable by this update. Yeah, because it's like they don't want to decline something that potentially is an accident. But if it keeps happening, what then are they gonna do? Yeah, man, it's just there's season these these technology capitalism like corporations are not capable of dealing with this ship like they they are only capable of making the decision that's going to make them the most money. They're not capable of like the power

that technology has given them. Like Facebook, like that is not capable of moderating itself moderating like its platform. These are these should be public things. You can't run them profitably. You need to like have tax subsidized. Like I'm not a great fan of like so give it over to the government and just like allow big brother. But like that this doesn't work where it's just capitalism in the

market will determine. It's like no, it won't. It's you're just gonna keep fucking up things that don't allow like society to function properly. Um So I don't know. Yeah, I think Apple watches are some of the most useless things that they have created. Like I truly I've tried and no, it's just the things that they seem to be supposedly making your life easier have come with more and more difficulty, much like this very specific thing. Yeah, for me, like the one thing that I liked it

for was the workout stuff. And there are like so many cheaper, better products, the better versions of that product on the so like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know for Apple, because my parents, as they're getting older, I think are looking into getting some the like monitor heart rate and stuff. So well know this is not it. They should go maybe for a more medical device. Right, I just turn all my healthcare information over to Apple.

John Waters is trending because John Waters, I believe, said that drag shows for children is funny, like something is a concept that is funny to him. John Waters famously, you know a director of movies that seemed like they're designed to kill Fox News viewers, Like my favorite one news viewer came across that they would die. I know, Johnny Depp is like canceled, but that was like one of my first where I was in love with Giant app That movie is absolute chaos. I don't know how

it ever got well. He like independently financed, I mean not like personally, but I think that they're I don't think he was, like go working through the studio system on cry Baby is is such a I saw clips going viral on TikTok a few days ago, and I was like, man, that movie really is bad ship like I used to and I watched that as a kid. I should not have been watching that as a kid. Yeah, think what. It's just funny to me that Fox News just found out about him, Like that's going to be

what what an interest is? Like? I think they need to hire him, like they should do Waters and Waters Jesse and John Waters, uh like have a show together on Fox News and just like inadvertently kill their entire viewing audience with his takes and personality and then like he gets to control the clips that he cuts away too, And yeah, I think we would, we would see better things for the future of America. All right, Waters on

Waters use it? Fox News. I don't. I don't give you much, but I'm giving you a good a good idea here let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back, and Austin Butler is apparently planning to stop speaking like Elvis. Thank God, America, can heal? I don't know. I was listen. I was watching the YouTube videos. It wasn't that convincing to me. I was expecting to be like, well, this is what I'll talk like now, but like he's always kind of had a no Jack.

You have watched enough of his younger videos. He did not have the elbow sports. He sounded like like a little whiny white teenage boy. All white boys when they were winy white teenage boys, like that's what he was. But now he sounds like crazy. All right, I need to I guess I need to see the better like compare contrast videos. Is the one that I was linked off to is not? I was not, like, how does

he even look at him? Stuff in the mirror. My favorite thing has been his ex, famously Jennifer Hudson his ex or not husband. Wow, Vanessa Hudgens. Not Jennifer Hudson. I was super wrong. Vanessa Hudgens. They dated for like eight years, you know, the queen of high school. The call she's been trolling the comments on all of this, like reporting with his Elvis voice just being like screaming lamo, because he did not sound like that for the entirety

of their relationship. She was like, I think you should be Elvis. I think you would do a really good job at it, and then he tried to be like, yeah, my friend told me I should go for Elvis, not his ex girlfriend of eight years. So it's been very fun, very fun to watch the demise of the rise and

fall of Awesome. Butler's elmets Well, he's nominated for an Oscar, which is I mean, he's good in the in the film I think and what I don't think is a good film, but I think his performances like definitely captivating for sure. And that's a hard one to pull off because Elvis is pretty iconic. So it's interesting to see, like how because he's just like, I don't and maybe

I'm just Austin Butler brained. I'm Austin Butler pilled because I feel like I'm saying the same think it's him where he's like, huh, I didn't even I didn't even notice I was talking about Elvis. Thank you, thank you very much. But he likened it to when somebody lives in another country for a long time, because he spent three years making Elvis. Yes, which is crazy. It's crazy,

but it also I don't know. I also am susceptible to ship like this, like where when I lived in Ireland, like I would catch myself on a word or two and be like, no, no, don't do it, don't do it. But every kid who studies abroad does this, Like I feel like that's the running joke of study abroad kids. It's like, oh, I'm sorry, I just like I speak like the Italians. I spent the whole summer in Italy, the people who like nine to it, which seems like is what's going on here is he's leaning into the

Elvis nous of it. Um. I bought it with everything that I had. But I also think I picked up a Southern accent after three years of living in Kentucky, and I was able to drop that ship real quick. But apparently, like there are reports from the set of his next big movie, Dune Part Two. His co star Dave Bautista recently confirmed that Butler dropped the Elvis voice for his performance as Fade Ratha, which yeah, of course he did. Like, that's such a wild question to ask

about an actor. Is he still talking like Elvin? In Dune? There was a lot of memes of like people pretending to be his like manager or publicist being like like yeah, so, like can Austin Butler like pitched the role, but like maybe he's like a nineteen fifties singer maybe Elvis, you know, like like what if what if Rockabilly to this Dune role? Yeah? Like what if what if we just like took the role and then we just made it in Elvis character, right,

because he just wouldn't drop it. But good to know he's healing. He's healing, uh, and the world can move forward. Not me, though, I will continue to deny that he ever sounded like Elvis. We'll see at the Academy Awards on the red carpet, that's true. What if he just comes with a wild British accent, like just well even

when he did SNL, he was doing it. Oh he did SNL and he sang like an Elvis song at the end to sing off Cecily Strong, who was leaving SNL that was like her last episode and so like the like closing act was him singing an Elvis song to her, and it was like, that's very strange, all right, And finally, George Santos continues to be my favorite liar. I think it's probably part of his lie strategy that he picks lies that everyone's like, well, why the funk

would you lie about that? Like, because the other one that made me suspect this was that he was on like a championship volleyball team at Baruke College in Manhattan, Like, which is just I haven't even been able to like look up if Baruke has a volleyball team, because like there's just something about that claim that is like so just stultifying and like boring the like I can't even

bring myself to google it. But yeah, So this one, this lie that he was apparently going with, is that he was one of the producers of a very famous Broadway play. Okay, Like that's now that's something somebody would lie about, like a con artist would lie about which Broadway play the worst, the biggest failure in the history of Broadway, Spider Man, Turn Off the Dark. It's like, fine, lie that you were a producer for Broadway, which like for someone who is claiming to hate so many things.

I don't know why you would go into the arts but be to lie about literally the like Broadways, biggest hole, like like Broadways, like ashamed more than anything in the world than this Broadway place. Spider killed people so much money, like no one is proud about. People didn't like you too after this they were like, man, fuck you too. Before this, for for our younger listeners, people really liked YouTube.

People loved you too. And then they like did this and put an album on everyone's iPhone and everyone was like, what, go fuck yourself the edge, Um, but I don't know, it's it's great. There's also a sort of genius to it that I like. The the article in Bloomberg, like the lead producer Michael Cole denied Santos's involvement, saying, you're an assistant that he wasn't a producer on the musical something so googleble, you know, right, But I don't know.

Maybe they were like it's harder to check with that who produced it because everyone has just like buried it, you know, like there's just like no known producers other than this one person. And then George sounds like, hey, I'm here, like actually I did it because no one else wants to claim that they were producing that show. I guess that is smart in that sense then, because show no one likes because he has like other lives

that are famous, like common lies like that. What didn't he have a lie that his like mom died in nine eleven, like people loved to claim that, like they were there for nine eleven, or they were in one of the buildings when the planes hit, or like they had a family member who died on nine eleven, and like that's a very mainstream lie. That is a classic lie. Um, But in this case, he kind of swerved on us, and I think it's that's pretty interesting. Bruke does have

a men's volleyball team, but he definitely was not on it. No, no, no, no, not all right. Well, those are some of the things that are trending on this slow last newsday. We are back on Monday with the whole last episode of the show. More questions about the by balloon and you know, theories as to why why the story captivated us at this end of last week. Um Becca, thank you so much for joining Where can people find you and follow you? You can find me and follow me at X B E,
