Speaker 1

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I Am a Surge Trend or I Am a sturge trend, depending on how many lass here you are of The Good Doctor memes. I am Jack. That is Miles, Miles, what's going on? Man?

Speaker 2

Thanks for having me. Man, great to be here.

Speaker 1

We welcome to the show.

Speaker 3

Real touch and go. Almost didn't make it, but yeah, I'm here, I'm here. Uh yeah, it goes good.

Speaker 2

I didn't know.

Speaker 3

I didn't know what The Good Doctor was, and I saw commercials for it, and now that it's become like Twitter meme stuff, I'm like, oh, okay.

Speaker 1

In the building it is the subject of Twitter memes stuff TMS.

Speaker 2

Yeah, there's just like a.

Speaker 1

Bunch of scenes of the show that are truly amazing out of context. I'm so glad that I never accidentally watched an episode so I could just come in completely fresh to this young man screaming I am a surgeon blake conservatively seventeen times.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and Daniel day Kim acting opposite that guy, just delivering a powerhouse reaction.

Speaker 2

Yeah. But anyway, it's uh.

Speaker 1

Like, you really going for it man.

Speaker 2

Really, man, it really makes me realize why I don't watch network television. Right.

Speaker 1

Anyway, there there's another scene where he just goes full Tom Wam's gat on his fes wams get just uh yeah, he says a lot of getting wams get wham gams bats. Uh yeah, just truly compelling stuff. Anyways, we're talking about the FDA is considering the first birth control pill without a prescription. Uh, this would be the first time.

Speaker 2

Great that Yeah, Now what else? Now what else you're gonna do?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 2

Now, what else you're gonna do? What else are you gonna do? Government?

Speaker 3

What else you got for it? That's good, That's a good first step. Anything about anything about the Supreme Court, anything about codifying row or that's just going to be a campaign thing.

Speaker 1

That is one of my key platforms. Man. I'm just not going to actually do it because I need it to be a key platform. It's like a thing I run on. It's not a thing. Anyways. People are saying very exciting historic moment for contraceptive access, which is good because we just had a very horrifying historic moment for lack of right.

Speaker 3

So yeah, and despite even like some of the most harrowing testimonies from people, it's wild to see how much like how unmoved legislators are. But again, it's not about them having a heart, just about causing it and inflicting as much damage as possible.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that life hacker has released a guide to living secretly in a stranger's home.

Speaker 2

Frogging frogging. Oh you know, Oh I know somebody who got frogged for real?

Speaker 3

Yeah, all right, anyway, you tell you Okay, So anyway, it's about people who like live who like break into people's houses when they're at work and shit, and like kind of live in your crib when you're not there, yes, or hide in your crib why you are there and live there. But I knew somebody who they have like one of those dog callers has GPS on it so when they get outside of like the property, like it alerts your phone.

Speaker 2

It's mostly like track your animal.

Speaker 3

And this this this person realized someone was walking his dog. What yeah, and like the first time he's like, what the fuck is this? And then the next time he asked the neighbor and said, oh, yeah, your dog walker came and he's like, I don't have a dog walker. And then they looked at like other like security.

Speaker 2

Shit.

Speaker 3

And this dude was just like kind of kicking it in the house and like walking it was I don't know, very strange.

Speaker 1

I feel like I always hear like one off anecdotes about this, or like there is a viral video that I chased down because I was so fascinated by it where you see a nighttime camera there, like we kept noticing our cereal would go missing and or like it would be lower than when we went to bed at night, so we kept a camera on. Then you see this person just like crawl out of like a crawl space above the refrigerator, and it's like super freaky. But that

video was a hoax, yeah, is what I found. So I've always been interested in this, was never sure that it was going on, but apparently there's been a coming.

Speaker 3

I wouldn't see that it's like a real I mean, I'm not gonna say that because this person had who knows, because they also suspected that this person had the keys to the apartment and the locks weren't changed and that's how they had access. And we're just like kind of doing weird stuff. But I'm not I'm not here to say it's a fucking epidemic, but off.

Speaker 1

Right, Yeah, but I mean there was recently a Knoxville man found half naked living in a crawl space cooking meth in the house, which I think it goes against the the rules as prescribed by life hacker. Uh. And then somebody else and Cedar Rappins was found breaking into people's homes to use residents computers to watch porn. So they're pointing out like, we actually don't know how frequently

this sort of thing is happening. Also that like porn guy is the dream of every like high school boy just being like, yeah, no, I guess somebody's like, I don't know here we're doing it on the computer because.

Speaker 2

They bought a bunch of stuff on your credit card on OnlyFans. I don't know. It's I think we got frogged.

Speaker 1

Got frogged man, Yeah.

Speaker 3

Or someone who like is eating while they like sleepwalk and then it's like, yeah, we're getting that's where the cereal went.

Speaker 1

Yeah, getting frogged. But they're saying, choose the right house, look for somebody who like does isn't actively living there, aim for the garage.

Speaker 2

Or guest house.

Speaker 1

It is kind of a cool article and it just straight up is like all right, so you've decided to.

Speaker 2

Uh live secretly. Yeah, yeah, that all the time.

Speaker 3

When like Airbnb door codes, I'm like, I wonder if they changed that shit. Like I think, like in the apocalypse, could I go through old emails and like try like a door code in a random house and find refuge or.

Speaker 2

Some shit like that.

Speaker 1

Yeah. One of the rules that apparently the frog are your friend's house didn't take into account. Dogs are not your best friend. Stay away from apparently any house with a sign.

Speaker 2

Of a dog.

Speaker 1

It's not just rip you apart style canines. You have to worry about. A tiny friendly dog will whine at the closet door if you're hiding in.

Speaker 3

There, Hey, man, come on down to my Frogs and dogs hang out right, It's gonna be great. What if you're on the other Is this only for the frogs or is this also is this article also relevant to the frogged?

Speaker 1

I feel like this article is entrapment because it opens with like twenty rules for like how to best frog and then what to do if you think you have a frog, contact the police, hurry up, call the cops.

Speaker 2

Waited, Then it says, wait, what are these tips? What do you what to do?

Speaker 3

If you think you have a frog in your house one contact the police too.

Speaker 2

Consider whether you have mental health problems.

Speaker 1

This is a very strange article.

Speaker 3

The signs of having a frog things being out of place in subtle ways, doors left open, and explained sounds, logic's movement symptoms.

Speaker 2

Uh like bipolar Wait what the fuck is this?

Speaker 1

Like?

Speaker 2

Is this for real?

Speaker 1

This is a very strange article. Check for carbon monoxide poisoning. I like that they did call the police. Then consider whether you have mental health problems or are being carbon monoxide poisoned.

Speaker 2

They're gaslighting the frog?

Speaker 3

Now, yeah, this is this Maybe this whole article is pro frog.

Speaker 2

Yeah, because they did.

Speaker 1

Call the police one, which just get you because one of the rules is like make sure the house you're frogging in doesn't have guns, which.

Speaker 2

Good advice, But then how do you know? Okay, then you.

Speaker 1

Just turned around and told the people who are being frogged to fucking call the police, who are gonna come in and fucking shoot you.

Speaker 3

Yeah all right, well hey frog tips, say zayking, let us know if you know about any froggy behavior.

Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah, that you've know what you know of?

Speaker 1

Uh. Donald Trump found guilty of sexually abusing Egen Carroll.

Speaker 2

Get that.

Speaker 3

Wow, I mean as if that video deposition couldn't be more fucked up and egregious. But yeah, five million dollars in damages now that Egen Carrol will be receiving. I wonder how he's gonna griff that. Oh right, yeah, I'm sure he, like, you know, like when a man. I'm so glad I stopped getting alerts from that campaign. But you know they've already been like, help him fight the woke mafia.

Speaker 1

Coming after your president, and God King, yes, help him.

Speaker 3

Please ignore what exactly the outcome of that trial was. But he has been found you know, liable for sexual abuse, forcible touching, injury of Egen Carroll, willful and wanton negligence, defamation, false statements, malicious intent, injury for defamation.

Speaker 2

I just the list goes on. But I'm sure the cope on the right is probably responding well to.

Speaker 1

One of the most depressing details of the rise of Donald Trump was when the group Women for Trump was founded, like the week after the Access Hollywood tape, like by people who are just like, that's good old fashioned American values. So who knows what new and depressing ways he'll exploit this. We finally have a Whopper that looks like Spider Man, which is good news for everyone, and we will talk

about that after this. Bro Oh, and we're back and I can't imagine anyone left us with that ingenious tease.

Speaker 2

It finally looks like a Spiderman, a Spider Man. Wow? What It's just like? Is there am I missing? There's a new Spider Man coming out? Yeah?

Speaker 1

Yeah, into the Spider Verse part two? Oh yes, Spider Man across the Spider Verse. You can get the Burgers from May fifteenth through June twenty one. I don't know the exact release date, but so they have dyed the Whopper bun bright red and dyed the seeds black or I guess they're just okay.

Speaker 2

So did you know everybody's allergic to sesame? Now? Really, that's like that's a new thing. I heard it.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I heard about the sesame allergies are like fucking on the come up right now?

Speaker 2

I had no idea. But anyway, sorry, I congratulations to me.

Speaker 3

I mean, like, as an Asian person, I was like, how could you not he sess me sesame oil and shit like that?

Speaker 2

But anyway, uh, I look at this.

Speaker 3

It does look I don't know if it looks like Spider Man, but it's got the right colorway.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I mean spider Man.

Speaker 1

Burger they nailed it, like they they truly according to the concept art, they nailed it.

Speaker 3

June sect Oh, we gotta go group outing group, We're gonna go see Spider Man movie together.

Speaker 1

Well, so Berger King, It's just a weird move for Berger came for two reasons. First of all, they keep dyeing their buns weird colors. Uh. And the most famous incident of this was when Burger King did this, uh and everybody's poop turned to a weird green color. Do you remember that? It was like a Halloween whopper that had a black bun. Oh, but it was just really dark green, really really dark green. Yeah, and everybody's poop turned like bright bright green.

Speaker 3

I was look I like, I like a little food dye induced fecal discoloration.

Speaker 2

You know what I mean.

Speaker 3

That's what I said, my favorite ice cream blue monster from handles that ship.

Speaker 2

I'm not joking. Check.

Speaker 3

I I feel like a kid because I go to the bathroom, I look in the toilet like whoa.

Speaker 1

Or does it like combined with some internal color that it.

Speaker 2

Can come out pretty blue like the eye. It's pretty powerful. Man. That's that's impassive anyway.

Speaker 3

So I'm so good to good to see them back to their dying ways.

Speaker 2

But they're also so like.

Speaker 1

They made a big announcement in twenty twenty one that they're permanently banning one hundred and twenty artificial ingredients from their food men used as part of the brand's commitment to deliver real food to their customers. But then they're also you know, doing this. They're like, we're all natural unless there's a Spider Man movie coming out, which.

Speaker 3

Unless is a great marketing thing going on, in which case you will eat the most unnatural looking shit we can.

Speaker 2

Come up with.

Speaker 1

Yeah, anyways, we will. We will eat this and report back.

Speaker 2

No, we won't. I wouldn't. I do not eat Burger King. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I guess the bridge too far from an adult.

Speaker 3

You're a parent in college iced iced ea Burger King sometimes like just to kind of like, you know, just get gigg myself some calories.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

The only thing I could really get like that I liked consistently was the chicken sandwich.

Speaker 1

The long chicken sandwich.

Speaker 2

Yeah, because it was just so long.

Speaker 3

I'm like, the fuck existing my just keeps going going, what the fuck?

Speaker 2

What kind of chicken is this?

Speaker 1

Yeah? Tom Hanks wrote a novel. I don't really, I don't know. It's a novel in which it's like about someone on a movie set. Then he's just talking about stuff he's seen on movie sets. Apparently his first book of short stories was pretty popular in the UK. So the BBC is primarily covering this and they said that critics are not impressed. Oh so I don't know, but.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I feel like that.

Speaker 3

I've seen that headline about like so one was just like Tom Hanks has a new book out and Houston, we have a problem.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 2

I was like, okay, thank you.

Speaker 1

And Beetlejuice too has been announced Michael Keaton, Jenna Ortega, Oh sure, let's do it.

Speaker 2

Why not? I mean, I've fucked with Beetlejuice. Yeah.

Speaker 1

Beetlejuice was great.

Speaker 2

I love that.

Speaker 3

That got me into Harry Belafonte's music rest in Piece, you know what I mean. I was like, that was my favorite scene in Beetlejuice.

Speaker 1

One of the best needle drop, like one of the best uses of a popular song, but like one that probably was under exposed to the generation that was going to be watching this. Yeah, man, yeah.

Speaker 3

Yeah, Brian's just game up. Okay, I believe I believe you. Yeah, that was all Oh my god, that was such.

Speaker 2

A good Oh.

Speaker 3

Shout out to that shout out to that scene. But yeah, Beadle, it was also like also a show of really flexed Keaton's like comedic abilities for sure.

Speaker 1

Yeah. Yeah, one of one of the best comedic performances of the eighties. And so but this is so, this is coming out in September twenty twenty four. They're they're hoping for oscars here, I guess.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Yeah. But so, the the original Beetlejuice was eighty eight, as we talked about yesterday. This year is eighty nine. So maybe next year is going to be eighty eight, and we're just going to kind of steadily move back through the years.

Speaker 2

I'm with that.

Speaker 3

Yeah, anything anything good happened in nineteen eighty eight, probably a lot. Everything was pretty chilling the eighties from what I understand in our limited perspective.

Speaker 1

Yeah, there's that Jordan Dunk contest that was pretty cool.

Speaker 2

Hey, yeah, that's pretty cool, man.

Speaker 1

That was pretty cool man. Robert de Niro stays fucking speaking pretty cool man. An interviewer mentioned his six children, and he corrected them seven. Actually I just had a baby.

Speaker 3

Oh my god, sorry I had to use that Brian and kicking that one up for me.

Speaker 2

I'm like, yep, he admitted. He Oh wow, so he has seven?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 2

Is he is?

Speaker 3

He?

Speaker 2

Okay?

Speaker 3

Sure, you know like what I mean, I'm not trying to cast this person on somebody who choosing to be a parent whenever, especially got the resources, but like that at least seventy.

Speaker 1

Nine fam Yeah, kid was from past relationships. Kids might be stretchy. His oldest daughter's fifty one, so yeah, you know, spreading it up, that's.

Speaker 3

Got to be so wild as like you're the fifty one year old, you know, son or our daughter of de Niro And they're.

Speaker 2

Like, wait, dude, what he's having another kid?

Speaker 1

Well, my half brother is coming over.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I got a babysit my half brother literally an infant.

Speaker 1

Truly zero years old.

Speaker 3

Also, like this was also the turn. This is why his career took a turn. Like when he remember he did that Rocky and Bullwinkle movie. Oh yeah, that's because of these young ass kids he started having.

Speaker 2

I remember everyone's like.

Speaker 3

What the fuck is Bobby de Niro doing in this like Hacky Rocky and bullinkle roll And it was because they had them young little babies.

Speaker 1

I want to be able to watch something that appeals to both my three year old son and my forty three year old daughter.

Speaker 3

Right, and yeah, because I can't really, uh, I can't show them Casino yet.

Speaker 1

So yeah, who's this guy?

Speaker 2

Who's this guy? This guy?

Speaker 1

Anyways the internet. Carrie Whitmer on Twitter said, sending this to Robert de Niro, and it's a sweatshirt that's the world's sluttiest dead checking.
