Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Monday Trending edition of I Say production of iHeartRadio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into america shared consciousness and tell you what is trending. This is the episode we record on Monday morning. I tell you what was trending over the weekend, what caught our attention, what's going on with us? I am Jack? That is Miles. Yeah, how are you doing, Miles?
I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Yeah, I'm doing great.
Uh huh yeah, no items, it seems good natural uh not like a AI that just got stuck.
Oh man, I was, I was, you know, I started. I'm playing around.
I see people on the internet fucking with chat, GPT and stuff to try and get it, like just to put it in these like logic puzzles to get it to do stuff like say fuck and be like I can't do that, and then like gaming it out again. It's a fun it's a fun puzzle toy. What are what these are? Yeah, because you can't even you can't even get a reliable description of a fucking restaurant on there half the time.
No, no, no, no.
Which is wild anyway. So but yeah, I'm great.
I'm great.
Why do you ask I'm great?
All right, Well, we're going to get to some of the things that are trending. First, we like to tell you a little bit about what's going on with us by telling you something we think underrated, overrated? Miles, is there something you think is underrated?
Underrated?
How my personal psychology affects my sleep style and my sleeping and my ability to guarantee myself good sleep. What I mean is my people pleasing affects my sleeping. And I brought this up on the show. I bring it up a lot, but now I'm here to articulate it a little more. Gee, I'm already fucking up. I was gonna say succinct a more articulate way, but no, I'm going to abandon that. My sleep bad because me scared of asking people for a thing. But yeah, like her
majesty a sprawler. Okay, oh yeah, that's her sleeping style.
Sprawler, I say, like, oh yeah, like, oh yeah.
Fuck, do you know their left leg? I'll get her on the phone. What the fuck is going on? I meant to say, I also sleep with a sprawler. Dude, when you're when you're with the Cincinnati Sprawler. Man, it's it's tough and I sleep. We have a minimum of at at minimum two pets in the bed. I would mostly say it's between one. It's a one point five.
There's always the dog, the cat here and there. When that happens, the sprawler seeds territory on the bed, to the to the animals, and then that encroaches on my part of the bed.
Uh huh.
By I'm not I'm not a I'm not a tiny lad as they would say. I'm six foot two. Okay, man, I'm seven hundred pounds of pure muscle. Okay, it's all my thighs. But like I I also I like to get my leg out a little bit, you know what I mean. Like I have noticed that's like a sleeping thing that helps is when I sleep, so like army crawl style that kind of helps anchor my body and I move less.
Army crawls style is how I've been sleeping lately. That's crazy on your stomach, like just hands up like something like that. The cops just told me, you know, freeze basically because if I if I do it with my hands under me, like they fall asleep.
You sleep with your hands under you.
Sometimes sometimes my arm goes under my head.
Oh, and then do you get like that weird like wild nerve compression and then like yeah, your arm tingles for like three days.
Like chronically I feel my hands most of the time.
Oh, like Rachel Ray. Yeah.
So anyway, because of that, it's definite, it's definitely a hard life. And every time I want to move, my first instinct.
Is like, oh, don't disturb the path.
The dog will wake up and then my growl and then the baby might wake up. Or then I'm like, I don't want to, Like I don't want to push her, shove her in her back, so I can get some space, I can sleep comfortably, and it ends up affecting my quality of sleep. I don't and so that's why I blame myself. I don't blame the sprawler or the animals. They do as they do, and it's ought me to communicate my needs, which I'm not very good at.
And it's a hard life.
And I have no spine, but that's only because I sleep in such a contorted manner that my physiology has completely changed.
Just in a little prison of sheets over there. Yeah, unwilling to move.
Part of me like feels like a Friends style sitcom solution is in order. It's like I put up like a cardboard fucking barrier.
I'm like that that's the wall.
Sorry, Like we got a deal, we were given a certain amount and we just have to make it work.
But no, I'm just learning new ways.
Then part of me is like maybe I just need to take some CBD or something to like get over that.
I'm like not, yeah, just knock yourself out then you can sleep anywhere man exactly.
But then her majesty is like just fucking tell me full like yeah, and I'm like I I know that, but it's funny because my first instinct is to be like I.
Don't disturb the other piece, don't disturb your body.
I feel that. So anyway, we we had some success with a weighted blanket, which helped with the sprawling and the kind of flying around. Uh.
For the way was trapping her under a tarp that was very weighted at the corner.
But so have you slept with like a weighted blanket on, Like you're not under a weight to blanket and the person you're sharing the bed with is under a way to blanket. No, No, it kind of fucked up the sheet the movement, your ability to like move because the sheets are like kind of cut off and like basically sewed down halfway across the best.
So you're saying that that's a potential solution.
It was a solution we pursued and hasn't hasn't worked out that great. And also it's usually kicked off in just like a mountain range between us by the end of the day or by the end of the war, is the way to all right, My underrated got to watch some movies because we were traveling and you know, traveling without children. I actually got to watch movies made for adults, not adult movies. Have been told not to watch those
on airplanes, but movies made for adults. Uh So, my one underrated is the specifically the violence in the movie bottoms. I just think more movies. I don't want to spoil anything, but I think more movies across genres should randomly take place in the Tarantino movie universe, Like that's what it feels like. It's like, oh yeah, like murder happens here kind of pretty casually.
And just gnarly like prison violence level fistfights.
With no explanation but it's because that my loose fan theory is that it takes place in the Tarantino movie universe, and also this is the universe where a team of Jewish soldiers just turned Hitler into ground beef and everybody's like, your vengeance good and now that's acceptable.
What did you think of Iowa Dibbris though, I remember you were about to watch it, and I was like, bro, when I I was like her range, I'm like.
She was unbelievable as a as a teenage high school or yeah, yeah, totally yeah, it was like yeah, everything, like her physicality, her I don't know.
Anyway, I thought I was really underrated.
I just uh, and then just bad movies in general. I put off watching the movie Saltburn because I had heard it was shitty. Finally watched it on the flight back from Austin, and it is shitty, but also I wish I had watched it sooner. It's just a total mess, but so much fun and like it kind of like sticks to your bones like a good movie would, despite
the fact that it's truly a mess. Right, there's something about like a movie that sets up a geography or like really like locks you into a physical location where you like know where everything is. That really I find hard to shake. So that's one of them. And then I also just wanted to give a shout out to the like the metaphysics of losing, because I was just watching a highlight of the Detroit Pistons this morning, a game that happened I think it was over the weekend,
maybe last night. It's the end of the game. The Pistons are tied with the Miami Heat. Pistons of the ball can hold for last shot far in that they're in a situation for non basketball fans, they're like far more statistically likely to win given those factors like any other team. You're like, oh, I'm about to watch a game winning shot from the team with the ball with them, I already know I'm about to watch them lose spectacular. Yeah,
because there that is who they are this season. They are in the midst of a time and space warping losing season that like a losing can just like take over a team psychology and like I feel like a fan basis psychology. Yeah, it becomes like like black magic.
It's like there was a period during my childhood where my dad's team was on a streak like this for two straight seasons, and it's just like truly a thing like it, Like it really warps the physics of the universe, like everybody is just going into one direction and it's like so inevitable. Yeah, it's rough. Yeah, shout out to Detroit and the people going through that, losers around the world, you know.
Yeah, yeah, sometimes yeah, yeah, Tottenham.
Hotspur comes to mind when I hear that word.
Yeah, is that is that your rival?
Yeah? They said, is that arrival?
And I was like I thought of it as the phrase arrival like the Dnnyville Love film, And I was.
Like pronouncing tennis the way as.
That's the way.
Like I feel like people in the eighties talked about tennis shoes, like put your tennis on.
Did you hear that ship, Tenny, you want to go play.
Ten say tennis for tennis shoes because that was like such a specific thing back then. Sneaker was back like in the eighties, like that was a tennis shoe, tennis shoes on?
Yeah, and then you heard tennis anyway.
So what enough your oldest shit? What's something you think is overridden?
Oh man, you want to hear oldest shit? Well, how about this overrated y'all. We need to stop using the matrix as a fucking metaphor. Okay, it's just bad. When I hear somebody use it earnestly, I'm like, you're telling on yourself because it's about to get weird or racist or misogynistic or CULTI or whatever. Two examples, Jack, you were there for one of them. We were in Austin. This dude pulled up to us because he was running like the spiritual book scam, like, hey, I want to
give you this book. You're like, no, I'm good, and they're like, okay, well here, I'm gonna leave it there. Do you want to make a donation? Like no, because I'm not trying to give a donation because I don't know what this is and I don't need this book.
And he goes, oh so, y'all like living in the matrix, I.
Don't do this at all. This happened in Austin.
Oh shit, Jack, it wasn't you, as my boy Chris bad.
See he's blending me with these.
Close white people in my life. They're interchangeable. We were there.
Pull up anyway, Uh, but you saw this dude because we saw this guy when we were walking to the coffee shop earlier in that day. He like had face paint on, like he looked like he was the last Airbender, and shit, oh my dude. Anyway, he said, oh, so you like living in the Matrix, And I said, yeah, I like living in the Matrix, and that blew.
His first of all. Blewest fucking mind that. I came so hard back, man, y'all was like, hell, yeah, like the Matrix. I'm like, fuck, dad, what do I want to do? But I don't even know. It's trying to help for me.
He's like, you didn't even want to wake up this morning, let alone from the Matrix.
Yeah, I'm like, bro, I saw what happened Joe Pantaliano. He said he was eating a steak, and I saw what they eat on that ship. They were eating gruel. No thank you anyway. So then another person I overheard use it earnestly this weekend, and I'm like, yo, and my brain just shuts off when people were really trying to be like you know, it's like, honestly, it's like people need to get out of the Matrix. And I'm like, right, dude,
please stop talking like this. Like either say the thing that you really mean, which is like I hate women or some shit like that, or you know what I mean. Or if you're talking about this sense of like isolation and like disconnect from like each other and our surroundings and our environment, then let's start there, you know what I mean, Maybe hand out some marks and talk about
the forms of isolation that workers can experience. But rather than being like the fucking matrix right about, I'm like, because honestly saying like doing stuff like yeah, we just need to be more connected to each other and like to nature, and we need to like have more lasting bonds we can. We need to be more engaged with
our community and build community. That's a much easier proposition than being like, we got to go into the fucking underworld and find the mothership and then destroy that shit to bring the matrix down and free all the battery people.
I'm like, oh, man, let's it's easier. Let's stop. Let's stop doing the matrix thing please.
Yeah. I feel like, I mean, they really hit the moment like there. That is a very powerful metaphor. I always talk about how I think it also has to do with I mean, it's the same thing as all the you know, heroes journeys where it's just not wanting to be I think people quietly underneath the surface of their consciousness have a real problem with being one of eight billion on this planet, and so getting to be like the one of eight billion I think is very,
very attractive. So like when people talk about like, yeah, we're in the matrix, it's always interested to be like and your kno.
You smith h oh, so you like you're upholding the framework of the matrix.
Yeah, yeah, that's right, man, just a that's what I've always wanted to be. Yeah, it does. It does feel like there's a certain type of uh mind frame is uh well for gravitating for metaphor.
I think I get the matrix offered us this metaphor to sort of look at our world and our society
through and be like, oh shit, this is interesting. But I think we can evolve past that and really get to the heart of it and talk about like these feelings that we're having, because it's also encapsulated this feeling of people like something's not right, something can be better, And I think jumping to like the matrix talk completely sort of kneecaps the ability of like engaging with the actual topic that we want to discuss, which is like, can we build something better than this?
Yeah, agreed, we'll have well, we'll have more on can we build something better than this in tomorrow's episode or eperate episode.
We'll look back and see if the ways of the ancients and we're.
In the matrix, right, David Waying grow do you think you like the most the most serious expert guests we've had? And I just like keep coming up with these ideas of like the dumbest ship to ask.
A like, so what was the matrix like for like the Mesopotamians? Though?
Yo, what do you think is going on with Kate Middleton? Though you're British bro, Like, come on all right, my overrated is the makers of the little dosing cups that come with medicine. Oh the yeah, the disease is coming off a real hot streak in our household. We got a strip flu? Why not both going on? And so just been working with the little dosing cups a lot.
There's a lot of these that we just have laying around that have only like ten milli liters as the like just a single like dosage on the cup, Like why even why make that or like some of them have are written in ink that like is like a dry erase marker. It's like, yo, yeah, I don't know, it's I mean, this one's not fully thought out because then like as I was writing it, I did in Amazon Search and was able to like or exactly what I'm asking for here in like two minutes, right, But.
You should have gone to a science supply store.
Yeah, but like just why not make that? Like does the extra ink or the extra notches like cost you extra?
I must write?
Yeah, it's like, do just those three more lines, Like that's like a fourth of a one fraction of a cent, but you extrapolate that over a billion things and that's like seven hundred thousand dollars.
I don't know.
Yeah, seems like it's like injection molded plastic, but just get a fucking different mold.
Yeah, but I guess. I mean, but you've done. The thing is like now you have one dosage cup to rule them all.
Yeah. I just ordered the one dosage cup to rule them all. So and they're fairly cheap. So yeah. My other under overrated is getting into a quid pro quo relationship with crows. Oh I miss So I've been making nice with the crows, feeding them almonds. Has worked out great. They haven't torn up our yard except I went to Texas as previously mentioned for like three days, uh missed one feeding and they ripped up our picnic table umbrellas like that to shreds. The fucking shreds, like just.
Fucked like they just ripped like it's it's flatty, it's like a pirate flag.
Yeah, it's oh wow.
Completely, there's just like a hole in the middle of it and one of the like we were like, what the fuck did this? But like they had like dropped pieces of the umbrella like around our yard, so it was pretty right, pretty clear. Yeah, and further down the street they dropped one. So then you jack exactly. I was like, oh sorry, sorry, I'm sorry.
So are they better now?
Like I just went back to feeding them and no more? Uh is there maybe act of vandalism?
Yeah? Oh wow?
Man, Well, it's it's interesting to watch this thing evolve where it's now to the point where they're like.
Where the funk were you? Dude was out here looking like an asshole? YEA told my other told the rest of their that this dude was going to bring almonds through.
Fucking humiliated me. So I said, never mind, let's just suck up this umbrella.
I didn't want to do it, man, I didn't want to do it.
We have a very relationship.
I get I get that you're trying your best, man, but I look stupid as fuck.
They But yeah, right right before we recorded, I just peeked out the window and there was a crow, uh standing on the pile of almonds that I just put out. So we're back, baby, And speaking of back baby, we will be right back maybe after these messages to tell you some of the stuff that's trending.
B r B, don't call me back.
And we're back, and I gotta apologize or and b RB on didn't like how that felt. I'll try harder into the future.
Well, the crows are going to make you answer for that one.
Kick this guy's ass. Just see me against a wall with crows like pinning my shoulders. What that b RB ship? All right? So we got a little insight into what Tucker Carlson's new shows, uh fact checking process looks like, like what you know he went he went for Fox News, you know, a whole ass cable TV show to Twitter where like it seemed I think he bragged. Even he's like, I don't have anybody on set with me. I just put like use a remote and it does the camera work for me.
And these saggy paper towels are my friends.
And he uh, one thing where you're gonna miss that. Uh, that's daffing. That budget is when it comes to like booking people and fact checking people.
Let's be real. That was never It's such a weird thing too. It's like you need fact checkers kind of sometimes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess you need to specific type of fact checkers.
Right.
He got uh, he got punked. He interviewed a guy who claimed to have photoshopped them Famis Kate Middleton picture and then been fired by the Palace for negligence. He said that the photo was really taken by Kate Middleton's uncle at Christmas time, and part of his job required erasing a Christmas tree from the background, and so good.
Dude, because these dudes are pranksters, and they uploaded the whole process, like even the interview with his producer where they're like, well, like what a world will need some proof. He's like, oh, yeah, for sure, and again, this shows you like American people, they just hear an accent. They're like, no, this should be even this du it was he sounded from England. Is England talk in it? He said, he's just had none bodies in the sprint. Uh. But then
they're like, okay, fine, we need like a contract. They send over the most fuck you prank, not most fuck you, but like if someone just bothered to read the whole thing, they would have caught some things like the there was like a Latin phrase for Tesco, like in the crest of like the of Kensington Palace, and then just other wild interesting.
A British supermarket chain. Yeah yeah, yeah, Trader Joe's in the presidential seal.
They and look they got they look they got it. They have a affordable sandwich at Tesco. I gotta say, yeah, my thing about nationalizing sandwiches.
When I lived in Ireland, all a was like supermarket sandwiches.
Yeah yeah, I love. I love a British sandwich. They're still like like cheese and onion.
I'm like, yeah, man, why not that's like a chip flavor, But I want to eat that.
In a sandwich.
Cheese salad, ham salad. Yeah, like that we in the States, we stopped at tuna and chicken, being like, the thing is that you can just combined with mayonnaise and call it salad. But man, they they solidify that that's not how that's pronounced anything. Sladify salad. The contract also contained a clause allowing the Palace to amputate one limb of their choosing should their employees fail up probationary period, and Carlson's producers like, yeah, man, it looks looks pretty good.
Yeah, I love that.
It was just all confidence too, and just being like, here's the thing, man, we're coming to Tucker Carlson first or this because.
The mainstream media is too scared to fucking touch this. And they're like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we love that.
I mean that checks out. We are awesome. Yeah, they just drove massage his ego and uh he he was like, yeah, man, I mean that that makes sense to me. People fucking love me killing it. Yeah. This sounds like everything else I hear on a day to day basis, which is that I'm fucking awesome.
So yeah, the best the best of two is up top.
During that interview because it never went to air, so like you only see the version I think that they recorded from like the satellite feed or whatever, or Tucker Cross and is like, and this isn't like a prank or anything. These guys are for real. They're not ranksters or nothing. They're like, you fucking loser, dude.
Anyways, we still don't know what's going on with Kate. The Internet is speculating wildly, as the Internet's doing what it's best at, speculating wildly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, without without much to go off of. So honestly, like I said, you believe whatever you want.
You can. I believe that she like went through the lion the wardrobe and what is in Narnia.
We're yeah, there's a thing that like the Internet loves where people like don't like the woman who got canceled while she was on a flight and like didn't know she was canceled until she landed. We are all that person right now, Like we just don't know what has happened. And so the Internet, you know, anyways, you'll never guess
what the Boeing fuck ups mean for us the consumer. Surely, surely this worse product that we're getting where we don't know if the plane that we're being flown in uh, whether whether the wheel or door will fall off resound in lower.
Costs, right yeah, yeah, yeah, no, wait what no, it means high. They said this summer could be some of the highest ticket prices we've seen. Why, first of all, we've said almost every five days there's some kind of terrible malfunction or mechanical defect that we hear about on a Boeing plane, and so many airlines have now rethought
like what that means for their business. So a lot of like executives from the US airlines have said, quote express doubt about the Boeing seven thirty seven Max delivery schedule. Southwest expects forty two percent fewer jets this year than they are ordered. United told Boeing to stop making the seven thirty seven Max ten.
They're like, yo, bro, just just fucking stop.
Yeah, you got any more the seven thirty seven Max nines left?
You got that in a twelve? Can I get that? Yeah?
Because we don't need the funnel because this shit is not going to work so anyway, So the reason is, so if there's less planes coming online for the airlines and like can't like and we have planes that are aging out of their fleet. What does that mean? Well, according to one aviation analyst quote, it's a simple matter
of supply and demand. Well, new aircraft reduction heavily constrained, especially at Boeing, and a limited number of old aircraft that can be kept longer in service and continued very strong demand. Prices are likely to increase, and the only other option for like in terms of major plane manufacturers is Airbus, and air Bus is also having some issues, and they're also behind on delivering their existing orders.
So I think it's creating a perfect moment for an industry to claim.
Hey, man, supply chain and demand it's just really messed up right now, and gouge customers rather than saying, hey, you know it's we know it's fucking scary that you're about to fly in a bowie aircraft, but you know what, to regain your trust, we're putting all our planes through rigorous inspections and dropping prices to show the skies are still friendly and not the skies are fuck you, because that's where we're at.
Surely there's an economic read on this where people see planes falling apart and demand goes down, But of course that has not. That's not the economic reed that we're going to get in any US outlet because they are written by and for corporations essentially. Now that's gonna call Oh you were you have a problem with the planes falling apart, that's gonna cost you somehow.
Okay, So wait, let me get this right.
You don't want to fly on the plane where the door blows out and the wheel falls off.
Okay, well, if.
That's the case, sorry, this is I want to refer you to a landmark Supreme Court case of Beggars v.
Choosers.
And if you don't like that, then guess what you're gonna have to pay more?
Yeah?
Sorry, sorry, that's capitalism, no choice on your side, and no competition.
Deal with it.
Okay, we'll give you an extra seat belt, how about that?
Wait?
What?
Yeah, seat belt just to secure you better in case if you're in if you're in an exit row, you know, if you're.
On your neck. So it doesn't really help you, but it keeps you from like turning into like a whip. Because sometimes our planes, you know, when the engine cuts out or the pilot gets thrown forward onto the controls, people fly about and unfortunately that turns you into a whip that could hit the person next to you. That's when you're gonna want your neck secured. Yeah, yeah for us. For last, Like I said, basically, have your lawyer look into the caselaw here beggars v.
Choosers Okay, it doesn't.
Want just another story that I mean we've been covering for a while. But the McDonald's ice cream machines are another great example of capitalism, like the stuff that capitalism is supposed to work the ways it's supposed to work, just like completely breaking down. So talk before about how locked up McDonald's ice cream machines are. Essentially, they're constantly broken because they signed a deal with like a bad company,
yeah tailor allegedly a bad company. I don't know if you can call a company bad, but they signed to deal with this bad company. And the bad company is like bullying McDonald's like, yeah, you can't touch the shit. You can only like call us and we'll touch it for you. And like they can't get any other ice cream machines. Like that's the part that confuses me.
Sign a contract?
What are what?
We better not catch you with no other ones? Oh something's broken? You want to know how to access stuff. Sorry, bro, I can't even give you the fucking instruction manual because you might figure it out, and then you're cutting off a revenue stream for us.
Exactly. They won't let McDonald's employees access the menu to diagnose the problem. You like a code that they won't give them. And then somebody created a product that you could put onto the ice cream machine to allow you to fix it yourself, and they got put out of business essentially by the ice cream machine maker. Anyways, the FTC and Department of Justice Anti Trust Division sent a letter to the US Copyright Office calling for exemptions for
commercial soft serve machines from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Basically, so this soft serve machine maker is now in the target of the FDC and dj letter points out soft serve equipment breakdown can lead to six hundred and twenty five dollars per day loss of sales. There are long wait times for authorizer repairs, and a licensed repair technician charges over three hundred dollars per fifteen minutes.
Yeah, this is just so funny when you see like the FDC and d OJ take swift action.
Yeah, for a fucking ice cream you.
Made, you made the wrong motherfucker wait for his uh mcflurry man, Like that is definitely what the.
Real ship man. We just talked.
We had an episode where some of worked that DJ was talking about the problems of private equity yeah and the anti trust lost ship and we're like, yeah.
Man, we can't get to that. But we can't.
We'll put a foot in the ice cream makers I asked for McDonald's.
How about that?
How about that?
Probably anyways? Uh, it's just so weird like that that McDonalds would sign a contract with one company. It's like it reminds me of like when a NBA team signs like a veteran who's like over the hill and is immediately hurt and you're just like stuck with that. Yeah, Like it feels very i don't know, un capitalist. These are the sort of things that capitalists would freak out about if it weren't being done by capitalism.
Yeah.
Well, then you think about all the fucking capital like political, social, and monetary that goes into even securing a deal with McDonald's to be the exclusive fucking and then all the glad handing, all the fucking money spent to fucking probably the decision probably resting like four people they had to get to fucking really buy into it.
And then here we are.
You're all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back. We'll do a unhinged Trump bullshit round up. We'll check in with the the Mandela effect that it probably got me the most. Yeah, I'll say, playing right back and we're back.
We're back, And.
Donald Trump had an eventful weekend in Ohio. Yeah, so you made headlines for the moment in which he bragged the country would suffer a bloodbath if he doesn't get elected, which is uh, definitely rhetorically scary. His campaign claimed he was talking about the destruction of the auto industry and the comment was sandwich between talking points about car tariffs, So maybe was talking about that, but I mean definitely didn't clarify it in that moment.
Yeah it they all they all, like you know, sort of attached themselves to that headline or that that quote to create headlines. But at this point, it's like, dude, the guy's not even saying things in general. Yeah, Like it's just like it's more like you can report on the vibe. It's not the substance yause it's all just nonsense because he even he have to. I mean, we
didn't even cover the Times like that. He had an all star weekend of just like Hire's like, yeah, was saying all kinds of wild shit and yeah, but again to be fair, during this mine the word salad, it was car point and is it gonna be a blood bat for everybody?
You also claimed that my migrants are not human, then bemoans Democrats, saying that he lacks humanity for comments like that. Yeah, man, being dehumanized sucks. I guess turns out.
I know it really does it really to thank you, thank you, it really does. It really does suck me to not be seen as a person too.
Yeah.
At one point, he claimed Biden beat Obama in an election that clearly never happened anywhere outside of his brain. I think what he was trying to say was that, like, Biden's results in the twenty twenty election were better than Obama's results in two thousand and eight, which I think is like part of a election, like people are like
and that's why it's suspicious. There's no way Biden would get more votes than Barak, who's saying Obama, but the way he says it makes it seem like he's even the people.
The people.
It's just so funny to watch the people who are at the rallies who are like framed up right behind, because it's like a mixture of like yeah and then fucking confusion yeah, and then like checking their phones, like these people are not very engaged. But anyway, here this is the moment where he says it, and there's like a woman in the corner who's like looking at rest.
Like the against Biden, the largess in the margins just margins. Ever, you know what was interesting? Joe Biden won against Barack Hussein Obama. Has anyone ever.
Heard has anyone ever heard of him?
Obamba? Yeah.
People are like what yeah, I mean, I guess yeah.
Are you comparing like election results from previous years? Is it the primary you're talking about? Either way, it doesn't. I'm not even sure what the fucking point is to bring that up.
Anyway, Well, I think they Trump people are like, no way Biden got as many votes as they say he did, because that would mean that he got more votes than Obama, and therefore you can just like it was almost beloved president wasn't he folks, we love him, ever love him, And they said Biden beat him.
I don't think so.
I don't think so. That guy has got there is Biden. He also completely repeatedly complained about the teleprompters blowing in high winds and suggested that the people who set them up shouldn't be paid aka the Trump Special.
It's wild when you look at this big clip though, too.
It seems windy because those things are flapping around.
Flapping around like a bathcoom.
Yeah.
Under Biden, the cost of rents is up thirty percent, grocers are up thirty percent.
Everything is up, chickens up, red is up.
And I can't read this damn telepraft.
I got again't read this.
Damn no, I can't read.
I can't read this.
Woman's got an iPad? This bad fucking most boomer shit.
You'd be like, here's my front with a giant iPad. That's well, at least he's good on that forty five or four hundred and fifty four million.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean oh oh no, actually no, no, he got it all rich buddy. We heard obviously the person from Chubb Insurance was able to secure the e. G. And Carroll money for him, but his like his lawyers are in court right now being like, y'all, we need leniency because they said securing the bond is a quote practical impossibility.
Wow.
They said they have spent quote countless hours negotiating with one of the largest insurance companies in the world, and it's proven that quote obtaining an appeal bond in the full amount is not possible under the circumstances presented. They said that the other bond companies will not quote accept hard assets such as real estate as collateral and will only accept cash or cash equivalents such as marketable securities.
And he also said that his lawyer noted that companies quote typically require collateral of approximately one hundred and twenty percent of the amount of the judgment, which would be around five hundred and fifty seven million. And to also, what they're saying is for him to even run his businesses, he would also need five hundred million cash, so like they're saying, he needs like a billion dollars basically for the shit to work or else he's bad.
Quote.
In addition, Sureties would likely charge bond premiums of approximately two percent per year with two years in advance an upfront cost of over eighteen million dollars. That eighteen million dollars couldn't even recover that if he won his appeal.
Not fair first, well, not fair, but the good news is he's a billionaire. Like he's he's richest guy ever, So why why does the matter? He's the most billionaire.
He's trying to do it both right, like because he the money has he needs to put this money up next week and he's selling people was like, but don't worry, like like they were noting, Like he has Mara a Lago, he has forty Wall Street or whatever the address is there. He's got all these other buildings, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. So really, no need to put this money up because obviously he's got dough. But
that's the thing. It's a anyway. So last we heard, Leticia James said, you know, if he can't pay, then we will, we will, we will begin to recover the money. How we have to if that means going after his assets. Yeah, so TikTok, TikTok, TikTok, we shall see.
Yeah, TikTok gotta sell or hang it up. You know yeah, oh you're okay, yeah, yeah then too all right? Uh And finally just check in with the Mandela effect. U Life Hacker last week did a deep dive into the fruit of the loom Mandela effect, which they lump it along with the colors of letters, like the colors that we associate letters with in a camp of like examples
of the Mandela effect that can be explained. So, for instance, with the colors of letters, let me just ask you, my yea, what color is the letter E?
What you're talking about?
Like if you does does the color E associate with a letter? Like when you picture an E in your mind and it has to have a color? What color with that?
It's like a red or orange or a green? I feel like.
Okay, so I so I had blue And that is apparently the answer that a statistically significant portion of people, and it might be people who are a little bit older than you.
No, I know what you're talking I said, Fisher Price magnets.
I have them.
Yeah yeah, but see I was bilingual, bro, I wasn't looking at the English letters the same way.
Your mind palace is fucking enormous salt burn up there, you know, the I got I got a little one story mind palace ranch. Yeah, it's cute, it's cute. It's we don't have like much yard space or anything. But yeah, but anyways, I only have room for one letter E. It is blue. And that a statistically significant portion of people my age also have that in their head because of the Fisher Price magnetic letters that a lot of
us saw our experience growing up. And so they're saying that things like that can probably explain some of the Mandela effects. You know, write people associated simbat with the Shack movie and created a movie called Kazam or I forget which one it is.
So but this one, this specific Mandel effect, because I've been seeing this bubble like go back and forth alone last month.
Yeah, the Fruit of the Bloom one is back because I can this is probably the most convincing Mandel effect for me. When I picture the Fruit of the Loom logo, I definitely see a cornicopia behind behind the fruit fruit bunch. Yeah.
I was the same. I was the same, and I couldn't believe that it wasn't true.
Yeah, like Snopes did a deep dive and more like, did they ever make a look like they must have had a logo with this, they've never had a cornucopia on their logo. That there was maybe a point where they like applied to add that to it, but it was it never like made it public.
I remember seeing like in that article where they showed like, here's literally every iteration of the fruit of the Loom logo from the inception of the company. Yeah, and I was like, how in the fuck is there no cornucopia here?
I don't know why.
It's also just it's it's probably the one of the few man El effects where I refused to believe what was being said to me, like from just reflective.
I was like, no, no, that's stupid, that's.
It's actually that one actually happened. Sorry the Yeah, it's weird that this one doesn't get because like the Barrenstain Bears one, I feel like is a little overrated as an example of the Mandel effect because it's just like a spelling right, it's a pronunciation thing.
Yeah, Like and I said it because I never they're like, we're always used to something stem So there was just enough momentum.
As a kid who.
Is just like sort of like has a chat GPT type brain, You're like I'm just doing like pattern like like pattern creating, and I'm like Berenstein like stain.
No, that's that's a stain. That's another thing. It's it's stem. Yeah.
Fine, I feel like we should bump through the loom up. Call it the fruit of the loom effect, you know, ye, but yeah, So basically the loose theory of the case here that kind of makes sense to me is that basically, you know, for of the loom ads were probably popping up a lot around like Thanksgiving Christmas time, at a time when that that's really the only context I've ever actually seen a cornucopia other than in my mind being
associated with fruit of the loom. The only other instance is Thanksgiving school projects, right, like drawing coloring in a cornucopia, like making a construction paper cornucopia. Like, I like, that's my main experience. And so I don't even think you need to like say, and so Thanksgiving is when for the loom ads happen, because for the loom ads happen all the time. But I think it's just associating like
cornucopia is. I don't think I've ever seen one in a photograph necessarily, but I've seen them drawn, you know, and it's about the same level of detail in the drawing as you see with like a coloring book or like a you know, Thanksgiving art project.
Yeah.
So I think my brain and a lot of people's brains just filled in the Thanksgiving cornucopia art projects and illustrations with the Fruit of the Loom logo.
That's like, I like why you're saying that, But Jack, the bottom line is there was a logo. There was a cornucopia in the logo, and I don't know why people keep.
And I wish you would stop fucking lying to me, stop the matrix.
Stop fucking coping, bro. Yeah, okay, you're right to me, and you're coping. Don't buy into the man's explanation as to why you think now your history has been changed and subverted by the power hour Is that beaten?
No, I don't know there was a cornucopia.
And ultimately I am neo and that's the fact that I know that there was a cornucopia just proves it.
But yeah, oh man, twenty year old me would have absolutely been like, dude, I am neo im because I'm not buying into this.
Fruit of the Loom bullshit.
Yeah, there was a cornucopia anyway, I'm cornucopia gang.
Yeah.
I can't accept it. I just can't. Man, there's just two. We got too much going on. Man, don't take this from me.
Tables man. Yeah, all right, those are some of the things that are trending on this Monday, March eighteenth. We are back tomorrow with a whole lest 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 you all tomorrow.
Bye bye, yeah,
