Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of FALC trend Heavy. Play on Falcon Heavy, which is the big old spaceship they're gonna be sending up into space to look at this big asteroid. We'll get into it. It's a it's interesting piece of pro capitalism propaganda that I think we'll be seeing more and more of. So I love that. Yeah, I love that for us needs propaganda. Hey is it? Yeah? Back, guys. I'm currently scrubbed in at the hospital. But I figured not popping for trends. No,

I'm We're still the countdown is still continuing. So I appreciate everybody's well wishes that I received, because I received an influx of messages and like, oh my god, he's not on the show. Everything not yet. You'll know, you'll know, you'll know day by day, day by day. But yes, I'm here. Thanks for having me back. Don't even even

though they in between. That's right, Um, all right. So this article in the Daily Star so already kind of notoriously bullshit news source, but I wanted to highlight the way they're covering this because they're talking about this SpaceX mission that is going to fly up to the biggest asteroid in the Solar System. This asteroid alone makes up one percent of the mass of our galaxies asteroid belt

called Psyche. It's just massive. And the way they're talking about it, so they're sending all this valuable stuff up there because the size and makeup of the asteroid gives it an estimated worth of ten quintillion dollars, more than seventy thousand times the current worth of the entire global economy. And but wait, so they're saying, like we need this asteroid basically, like it's for just as a just vacation

for space travel. That hey, there's a lot of like good that's a monetize able asteroid just for bettering our understanding of where our place in the cosmos. But this should like we can have seventy thousand times more inequality on this planet, seventy thousand times more stuff that people can sell and buy, which is really what we need.

How far is the like, So the rocket is meant to go and like a probe or something is going to land on this asteroid or some ship and then they're gonna, you know, just kick it there for a little bit and pull off little pieces and figure out off million dollar nugs. Just break off some nugs. But I feel like that is going to be a thing we'll see. Is like we're visiting this thing in space.

It's a cloud that has ten thousand times the amount of water that we have on air planet, without like really any reference, Like, well, how how do you think you'll get that back? And I don't know, man, but Bro's just sitting up there, man, quintilly ten quintillion, What the fuck? Like all this space propaganda is probably just gonna sound like like Columbus's letters back to like Spain or some ship, right, you know what I Mean's like, oh my god, dude, he's sucking people. They're scared of

our swords and there's like gold lying around. Get over here now. It's uh yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure it was in like a slide deck from SpaceX or something. That's just like, okay, let's do the math on this. How how much would it be if we could just like transport that stuff? That's pretty pretty nice little pay day? What is it made of, like n f T S or something. It's just made of pure, pure, uncut n FT pure, Yeah, fucking at a fucking n f T

is up there. Yeah, man, So they think it's made of mostly iron and nickel, which other asteroids are largely made of rocks and ice. So they think this one might be the left over core of a proto planet that tried to form billions of years ago and just got demolished. Yeah. Hey, we'll learn more, but it's not good enough to be just learning more. We are also going to be uh profiting more. We're gonna be catching ng more. You know what I mean? All of us.

Remember when we say when we say amounts like that in the news, that means all of us are going to get it, not just three people. Oh you thought we had hyper inequality now wow, wait wait till you see you know when hyper space inequality. When Elon Musk brings back just as he's gonna be down here with all of us, he's gonna be like Billy's ain't on Titanic's like peace and we like your money won't save you. Now Musk are Marie Condo? People are like, wait, what happened?

She was your favorite? She tells us to do clean? Where did she go there? Okay, so she did this like recent like it was in a profile in the Washington Post last week, and she basically talked about how she's just kind of shifting, like her priorities have shifted a bit. She said, quote, I've kind of given up on that in a good way for me, talking about like the organizational thing that she was first known for.

Quote now I realized that. Now I realized what is important to me is enjoying spending time with my children at home. And people are like, you fucking fraud, How fucking dare you? What about us? I had kids and I was condoing my fucking shit? How? How? How? And it's just like people like, yo, hold your horses here, what like what what? What did? What did you think she was? What did you need her to be for you? Uh?

And also, as many people point out, she was twenty seven and had no children when she was doing her like when she came to prominence with her like you know, life changing magic of tidying up, and a lot of that had no idea that young. Yeah, and then they're like, yeah, twelve years later and like with your third kid, people fucking change. And maybe I mean, it doesn't mean to say she's like saying, yes, everything I said was a lie, But people are like taking it like that. It's just

very uh. There's like there's some interesting uh in jazz a bothers and just sort of interesting analysis just about how like some people are like very kind of quickly revealing themselves and being like where was this like prototypical type a Asian woman I needed to be my guide through my life, but also thinking of like how emotionally charged even the topic of like organizing a home is and how that's tied to gender ales and things like that.

So it's like a very complex thing, but it's like a very Internet moment where this person is like, yeah, twelve years in for me personally, I'm more focused on this now, and they're like, but you can't be what so your kids sparked joy? Right, I got rid of

my kids because they did spark. I feel like Tucker Carlson's gonna have a hard time with us, because this strikes me as something that people who have strong like mother issues would would have a problem with, you know, And as we know, his mom left the family for some hippies or something, for the hippie lifestyle and we've

been we've all been fucked ever since. Um, all right, there was a there was a big controversial moment in the Lakers Celtics game UM where I don't know, it feels like the Lakers have been getting fucked over on

some some last second calls of late um. In this case, Lebron drove to the basket, was putting up a lefty layup, very straightforward, and just got slapped on his hand as he was on his arm as he was releasing it, like just straightforward, like foul could be the platonic definition of a shooting foul, and you know this happens a lot, but it's just wild because he knew it was a foul immediately. The refs immediately after the game admitted it

was a foul. The announcers like what was that. They're like, wow, that was yep, that's a that's a clear foul. And then the statement from like the Refereeing Union has come out and they're like, uh, it's it's gut wrenching, man, you know. Yeah. I mean for the lowly Laker fans who absolutely could have used a win in Boston, which looked like would have been possible had that foul been called because the game was tied and then that was

zero sent it to overtime. Yeah, like what I don't I'm dead inside as a Laker fan, so I'm just kind of oh yeah, but i'd be long if if I'd say that didn't kill me one more time because I watched the game because it was it was so clear. And then I don't know, if you saw Lebron tag Jason Tatum on Instagram, he's like to day, yeah, He's like, nice block Jason, and then like he even replied and he's like, hey, I'm sorry, Champ. So like you're kind

of crazey, like harsh smile emoji. So whatever, I mean, it is what it is. And apparently Lebron's has been telling him, he's like, just stop talking to the ref. It's not gonna make a difference, Like this is how they want to call it. Because then I mean on like Lakers Twitter too, there was like even the jump ball even before that was like wildly like favored the Celtics. So it's a there's a lot going on. We got

a lot going on right now. It's one of those things where like as the moment was about to happen, it was like a time out, four seconds left, Lakers ball. I was like, man, I hope it doesn't, like, I hope the refs don't. Yeah, because Lebron just got downhill and then I go, here we go. This is either a bucket or as a foul because like half the team went to go guard him and then yeah, anyway, hear more about this on Miles and Jack got mad boost Ease, where I will continu need to scream into

the void. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back and Florida has a new dress code for the state legislature. Yeah, it's uh, it's it's really something. Uh like they unveiled new rules and anybody who went to a religious private school or whether they were like really weird uniform wals, it's pretty much mirroring that. It says when there are members in the chamber, the only thing people can wear are a suit that's a pants suit for ladies or you know,

a suit for men. They're also like, or you can wear a skirt with a jacket, but that's it. And then they say when members are in the building but not sitting necessarily in the chamber, then it's a little more relaxed. But it's like a bunch of like stock images of like like the most boring people you've ever seen. Not really yeah, not really indicative of like clothing people would wear. And then when they're not in the building

more casual. But they go on to say, like the dress a skirt cannot be shorter than one inch above the knee, low cut or dresses are forbidden. T shirts with writing are forbidden, Jeans with holes are forbidden. Men's shoes with no sucks get out of here, and you better not be wearing leggings first. Slacks is another one, leggings for slacks. Interesting. Um, it's like all these all these pictures of very standard like they do all look like they came off of the you know, just standard J. C.

Penny's website. But then they have this one that's just like a real like dirty tide eyed T shirt. Yeah, like what or like a crypto bro Like We're like, who's like dressed fashionably with ripped jeans? I'm like, I'm sorry, who is in the state legist? Like is this pointed at somebody who's like dude, you know, fucking Eric that one crypto bro guy like he keeps wearing fucking doze to the moon phrase shirts on the floor. Men's shoes with no socks is very specific. That that leads me

to believe that this is somebody having an issue. Yeah, and it's very patronizing or it's like the kind of thing that like men wrote to be like hey, and we're look, we're dealing with it too. I get it. We can't even go sockless. Okay, so trust me, I empathize with those who say these rules are misogynistic or otherwise the men are also suffering. Hey, like, I want to show a little skin, ladies. I want to show a little skin with my uh, you know, sockless loafers.

I want people to see when I had surgery from when I reptured my achilles tendon. You can see that scar. I think it's kind of cool. It was playing lacrosse duke. Um, I don't I didn't even know that sockless versus socks was a like sign of I don't know, like conservative. Yeah, I guess that makes sense, right, sock list, especially in Florida, aren't there a boat shoe wearing fucker's Anywyeah? That's what I'm thinking. It feels like a boat shoo move again.

I think it's it's meant to throw like we're fixated on this weird thing, when really they're like, and this is how ladies or female presenting people can dress. These are the rules. Because it's also happening in Missouri as well, some similar thing where like even like the members of the state legislature were like, how are you gonna fucking enforce this? Like someone is there like a hall monitor when we step in there, like, okay, line up, I'll do.

The ruler test enforced it at gunpoint. Okay, that's how. So you better not come in here with boat shoes and socks on with some holy jeens. Disloyal one of Trump's favorite words is trending because he came out and used it again, back at it again, baby Rhonda Santas. He said, wow, it's fine that he might want to run for president. He said, I think it would be very disloyal of him. He wouldn't be where he us without me, So that's something to think about. It would

be very disloyal. And then he was talking about how like I was taking shots at Rhonda Santis saying, like, you know his he was talking about shut down stuff. He's kind of lying about what how he really did it, when it's like, wait, what are you trying to say that he listened to you in April when you asked him to shut it down, and then he did, and then months later I was like, I'm off this. Everyone

can get sick. But in either way, the latest poll that this comment has probably zero to do with um has Rhonda Santis ahead of Trump by thirteen points, which I wonder if now pollsters, like watch we can induce a fucking quote out of him if we just revealed that Rondo Santis is ahead by any measure. But that's the latest from him as he continues to be like, yeah, he shouldn't do it, He shouldn't do it, he shouldn't

do it. I do wonder if they're because I mean, we talked about the fact that they did a thing where they were basically hiding the stats in the past, like for Florida, so they were able to make it seem like they adjusted their pulse here based policy based on statistics that they were intentionally tamping down like they were, you know, deflating the numbers of how many people were

dying from COVID. So I do wonder if that will be a thing that Trump tries to use like that when he's like how he did it, it's gonna be weird. There's no way we talked about how, you know, COVID stuff would probably a culture war thing that Trump would lose to De Santis over because because he still wants to claim vaccine credit, you know, but most people like

when he's brought it up. He's been booed at his own fucking rallies for even saying the word vaccine, and Rhonda Santis is out here being like, I don't even know if they were, you know, and I think we gotta get rid of them. And but yeah, I feel like, you know, even though I was halfway dead off COVID and you heard me give that really weird speech when I was sick, I don't believe in them. And yeah, I think that's what he's gonna point to to just

sort of he didn't get the vaccine. He hasn't said that, but everyone's like he probably did. Yeah, he probably got it right. But now he's like has like, you know, people who are openly questioning the vaccine is like part of like this advisory group to help the state understand if like they need to investigate the c d C, or that even COVID is a thing that we should have been scared about in the first place. Millions of people who are living with long COVID would argue otherwise.

But yeah, the fact that our life expectancy in this country, it's like gone down multiple years in a row, probably has nothing to do with it. It's a it's a blip. It's nothing to pay, nothing to worry about, folks. Anyways, what a what a time it will be when Trump and to Santis show down. It's gonna be ugly, Yeah, Lobo Sparks style ugly because man, Trump in a corner like with zero aim, like fuck yeah, or it'll just be embarrassing. Who knows, but we'll all have to be

there for it. And then Zachary Levy Levi I'm not sure how to pronounce the namecause I've never said it out loud before. Levi Lee like of the Jeans Empire, Maybe I don't know. Um was recently, you know, he's got he's got the sequel to his Soul big movie role coming up, Shazam and Shazam two is coming, and he posted on Twitter. Uh, somebody was like, do you agree or not, the fiser is a real danger to the world. And Zachary Levi responded hardcore agree, straight face,

like just you know, horizontal line for mouth emoji. And people were like, wait, does this mean he's ANTIACX And in the immediate aftermath, people are like, oh, oh, yeah, he is a huge Jordan Peterson fan, alleged racist and sexist. Uh, self described libertarian. You know what these words mean? Yeah, coward racist, that's what you mean by libertarian. There there is a Zachary Levi Joe Rogan episode where you get Zachary Levi's thoughts on the Johnny Depth trial. Uh, let

me guess. I actually haven't listened to us Gawker. The New Gawker, by the way, very good. Um George from Stradio Lab is one of the editors there, and it's it's great. But they wrote, if you're looking to cause brain injury without any physical pain, I recommend it with regards to the Zachary Levi's appearance on the Joe Rogan episode. But so, when I first saw this and was not aware that Zacharie Levi was a libertarian piece of sh it, I was like, yeah, no, that's I think I would

agree with the Fiser that question. Do you agree Fiser is a real danger to the world. Yeah, I think all, like massive pharmaceutical companies are pretty dangerous. Yeah. And that was the direction he went with, which I'm assuming has to do with the fact that he's about to head out on a tour for, you know, a publicity tour for Schism Fury of the Gods in six weeks and doesn't want to have to be answering questions about that. But but I bet he's gonna be asked. He's like researching.

He comes out like he's like, yeah, I just think all medicine should be free. Right, You're like, what are you sure? That was painful to say, man, it's it's making everybody weird, and you know how they they're getting the shakes from the vaccine. Yeah, I've do your research. Do your own research. That's all I'm saying. Do your own research. The ultimate sign that you're dealing with the right wing. Do your own research. Okay, here it is. Yeah.

He ulimately tweeted a link to a two thousand nine d o J press release announcing Fightser would have to pay a two point three billion for fraudulent marketing. So that's what he was talking about, actually, was their fraudulent marketing. It has nothing to do with his anti vact status. Um. All right, Well, those are some of the things that are trending on this Monday, January. We are back tomorrow

with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow by by
