Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Rip to the Name mctrenzy mccrazy. A baby name the USA Today is reporting could be going extinct? Is the name McKenna.
Forget the name.
Lisk of extinction, the washed name list. My name is Jack. By the way, that is Miles. Names are not washed.
We're glad to they were washed many years ago.
That's right. My name was washed my entire childhood. There was nobody is.
Just kind of like mine, ebbs and flows. I got this weird thing. I think I think I said it on maybe on the show.
I went to like the local spot, and the dude working there like I had to give my name and they're like, oh, cool name, and I'm like, oh yeah, and I was like, wow, what's your I didn't I didn't put together. The guy was like, yeah, my name Miles too. And I was like, and I immediumly, how do you spell it? And he's like with a Y? And I was like and I was like, wait.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so dismissive. If you're like all right, yeah, okay, that's that. Yeah that's a real name.
Yeah, anyway, all right, these names, So these are the girl names at risk of extinction, and.
How do they how do they determine this?
Because so this is like the list of most common names according to baby Center, the show that comes on before Sports Center, Baby Center. There you go, Thank you, Brook, Blake, Mackenzie, Brooklyn, Charlie Reagan. All right, Peter Regan, good written, you fucker, McKenna Finley, Amanda Michelle. I love that McKenna's on here. These are all names that are down a significant number of spots year over year. Uh, you know, like down at least one hundred spots in terms of popularity. Right
the biggest lose, eh is Blake down? No, Brook is down the most. Hey, but shout out to all y'all millennials with these names, you know what I mean? Just at the forefront, you know, That's really what I say. And then what about for the for the boys' names. For the boys' names, we got Julius down one nine, Jaden down one fifty one. Like I this is this list is interesting because I've seen these fuckers come and go, you know, yeah, like Jayden, I've seen come and go.
I remember that when it was on the Biggest Risers list. Now look at you you know, look at you, Jaden, Look at you, Johnny. Okay, we're naming their kids Johnny, like on their birth certificate, Johnny Raiden. I guess what the Mortal Kombat Yeah, the new Mortal Kombat movie sucked.
Depending.
I don't know, I don't know which one you're into, but I like how there's both like those all of them.
Those are two Mortal Kombat names.
There was Johnny Cage yeah, and then Rayden so then oh that scorpion subzero.
Please tell me Kano isn't there?
Uh?
Goro and Torow.
I can't believe Motoro's on here? Man Reptile, Uh, Brian the Editor, Reptile, Brady this here, Ronan Bradley Clayton. Uh, these are these are droppers, all right. So let's look at the names that are blazing in twenty twenty four. Uh, nothing really surprising here. Olivia, Isabella, Amelia, Sophia, Emma, Charlotte, Ava, Ellie, Aurora, Luna.
These are a lot of vowel enders. Yeah that that.
You wouldn't fault Donald Trump for mistaking any of these names because they start with.
A vowel and end with a vowel.
In a lot of instances, so you know he's not He's not in cognitive decline just like Nancy Pelosi and.
Oh yeah, he could use all these Aurora and Amelia, but basically the same name name. Anyway, boy names blazing in twenty four they have that Noah Liam, Liam's been up here, Oliver, Elijah, Matteo, Lucas, ash Ezrah Michael and Ja Michael and Jay. I love that it ends with like two names from the fucking Bible that have just been.
Just letting you know, man, the Good Lord still shining down on us no matter what.
The Good Book doing its thing.
The Good Lord giveth and taketh away names on the Blazing Momentum list. Yeah, speaking of Blazing Momentum, Biden and Trump are they both won in New Hampshire. Nikki Haley said she's not going down without a fight. That pissed off Trump pretty badly.
Yeah, who has mister, I refuse to go down without a fight for everything.
But he's like, this asshole needs to fuking figure it. And it's like, just, uh, I'm assuming she's.
Gonna like stick around until we get an official ruling from the Supreme Court.
Right have they ruled her game?
Her long game is I'm gonna just wait this dude out because you never.
Know, you just never know, you just never know, don't know.
It could be the cognitive incline, it could be the ninety one felonies.
Something might catch up.
But I think also too, like it's until all the delegates are actually you know, allocated, like you know, she can stay in it for a minute. The next thing, the next big one is going to be South Carolina. But like again, the polls aren't great. I think a lot of people were like her. One shot to maybe begin to craft like a narrative or seemingly seem like the momentum was moving in the right direction would have been to win in New Hampshire.
This was her mom's spaghetti moment, and yeah, it was just all over her shirt and yeah, yeah.
She's nervous, but on the surface she looked calm and ready, but didn't didn't work out quite that way.
It's mom's spaghetti.
Yeah, but he wrote down whole crowd mom spaghetti, Mom spaghetti Haley. The campaign rolls on, but again it's really going to be a matter of like our donor is gonna stop doning doning? Do you hear that, Yeah, the don the donning party.
But yeah, I think she I mean, we'll see what happens. I just don't. I think most people are like, it's probably a wrap.
And then again, Biden's name write and name campaign worked out, So I mean, nothing, nothing really, nothing really surprising.
Here, nothing surprising. My prediction that he was going to like have a poor showing because he had to be a writing candidate and uh, you know people would use that as an excuse did not come to pass. He's still won pretty handily. So it's two. We thought it was. Haley is sticking around, not She's not going to take Trump out like electorally, She's sticking around in case something else does league yeah or yeah.
Judicially she said this thing.
He said, the party that's first to ditch their eighty year old candidate is going to win the presidential election.
Wow, Nicky might have to start taking your text again.
Girl. Yeah, what's up? John? You heard you? Like the spice I got coming out of my mouth? You know what I mean?
John? You have to listen to.
This seriously, John, did you hear the fucking burn? I just laid down on Trump and Byron.
On board for fifty bucks.
Yeah. The robo call, I guess is not going to end up being a story, but it is. We did get our first instance of like an AI robocall with as with a lot of examples of AI stuff that we've seen to this point, it was not like very impressive technologically, like just the writing was bad.
Yeah.
So basically they took a Joe Biden voice that I'm guessing was somewhat convincing and had it say, hey, voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump. Again, your vote makes a difference in November, not this Tuesday.
Jack. Let let the man speak for himself here.
Let's say Joe Byron, oh, you got it, digital digital, digital Joe By. Let's hear from him and see if your grandparents would fall for this.
You know the value of voting democratic on our vote count. It's important that you save your vote for the November election. We'll need your help an electing Democrats up and down the ticket.
I mean, look, analytics sounds like shit, Miles, Yeah, is bad, but wow, also believe because it sounds like when Joe Biden has like low energy though.
Too, and he's kind of like getting through it. But yeah, this is my larkey you got the delivery is so flat, all right, Joe, Yeah, all right, robo Joe, But you didn't.
People are saying, like the president of Public Citizen declared that the political deep fake moment is here, and Democrats wanted the dj to investigate the calls to see who might have done it, because we don't we don't know. Yeah, but people were talking about the future of this. You know, the FCC has been a little slow to take action on the issue. One thing that people think might actually be good at combating this is basically an AI system, a program called robo Halt Robo Halt Halt shit just
robocops straight up. But it's more. It's actually more like the Blade Runner test. It's an a virtual assistant that can answer phone calls from unknown numbers and ask it questions to determine whether or not the call is legit or not before sending it through. So yeah, I mean that that makes sense to me, Like a you know.
This also just feels like some like the perfect thing for the AI induitially is like, you know, the only way to fight AI MOI dude.
But yeah, so.
We're basically headed for a world where phone calls basically have a capture process on them, And do you ever fail at captures?
I have occasionally it's weird, like especially when it's like yo, click all the depictions of like a street light.
Yeah, or so the one I get is like that it's multiple boxes on a picture of like a guy on a motorcycle, and they're like select all the boxes that have a motorcycle in it, and I don't know, like there's one with like a shoulder of a guy riding a motorcycle. Well, but so that's not a motorcycle, right, But like I've tried it. I've tried it both ways, and I've not gotten it.
Like it's very you know what you mean.
Because sometimes it'll be like, well, that's the corner of the street light is in this one. The main attract, the real light up part is in this right, And they'll be like, nah, you fucking robo fuck get out of here, and I'm.
Like try robot asshole, Yeah.
Give me another one.
The other one, Like I prefer the one that's like slide the puzzle piece into place.
Yes, that one I'm acing every time.
I'm so good at that I used to brag so much about how good I was. It captures.
Oh, man, I used to be things. Man, Oh do here here, Grandma? Give me that real quick? Was this knock that ship out? I ain't no robot. Hey, you didn't raise no robot, Grandma? At least you know that.
Anyways, it looks like we're headed for more of the same. Okay, although there's been some like Drudge, the Drudge Report, the kind of you know, right wing link aggregator that is still extremely popular somehow, is like really reporting on a lot of pulling that seems to suggest not reporting on just reposting a lot of pulling that suggests that like Trump might be a more trouble than we think. Who knows that that's true, but.
Well yeah, the thing that has really been that a lot of people pointed out was like this sort of polling in Iowa and in New Hampshire of people who are Haley supporters are like, I'm in no fucking universe do I vote for Trump?
Right?
Whether that means they go to whoever, like a third party candidate or sit it out or whatever remains to be seen. But like, I don't know, Like it's like with polling. It's like, Okay, I'll believe it when I see it, and that he is not actually being elected in a normal way.
But yeah, who knows.
That's a lot of people are like, there's a lot of red flags in that win for Trump. It's like, how many times have we been saying there's a lot of red flags Trump? Like, I come on, now, we can't.
We can't. We simply can't. We mustn't.
Yeah, just start. I don't know.
I think like the New York Times today put out a piece it's like, we're normalizing Donald Trump again, And I'm like, is that a critical piece or an announcement?
Hey, guys, get in loser. We're normalizing Donald Trump again again?
What are we doing?
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk streaming wars. And we're back Netflix. We've talked about this being a process that started end of last year. It seemed like a lot of the other streamers were giving up and being like, we need money now, we like money yesterday. So they're licensing all their shit back to Netflix and no longer trying to create these other platforms, and we might be headed back to a world where
you just need the one streaming service. It's Netflix, and it seems to be like so they just announced their Q four results and it was even better than people expected. God, like they just have all the all the shit now.
They've got everything.
And also like their exclusive shows or whatever, this stat was crazy in terms of streaming. They had the number one show on streaming forty eight out of fifty two weeks last year. Yeah, so as much as like when the beginning, we're like, oh, oh, Max is pulling up with HBO's catalog, cut to Sex and the City is now reportedly going to be on Netflix in its entirety.
Yeah, and you're like, oh.
Shit, that's like when you start seeing the other networks and you know, studios begin to be like yeah, man, well license that shit to net Flix.
You're like, oh, so you admit it. You admit it, So you admit it.
It's a problem, or at the very least you're realizing it's better that, like you're saying, you just have cash on hand from the licensing fees and to be like we're.
Gonna grind it out against netfather. Fuck they were fucked. Yeah.
Some of the big hits for Netflix this past year that are in no way like Netflix Originals or the Super Mario Brothers movie Young Sheldon Suits obviously, which started on USA, The Batman, Dune Ballers, Band of Brothers. I didn't realize. So Paramount Plus has basically thrown into the towel or Paramount because Yellowstone is now on Netflix.
Yeah, that's a bad looks bad when you're like.
This is the one thing I got and I gave it to that don't have any money, Please do you want our golden goose of Yellowstone?
And I think that's the thing is now everyone's like, well, we still don't know what the downstream hahaha. Unintended effects are going to be for these other platforms, because like if if you the whole thing was being like and you can only get it on WB streamers or whatever, and now everything's on Netflix, then what is the point.
And I don't know if that's like a long.
Term strategy where they're like, yeah, we'll just get through this next five years and hope people won't completely abandon their nine stream package that they currently have.
So I don't know.
It's it seems like it's beginning to sort of stabilize in the sense that Netflix is just being like, yeah, this is what we've been doing. In case you guys forgot how breaking bad bleuw up.
Yeah.
So I don't know, it's like good for consumers, I guess in the sense that like in the short term, in the sense that like all these shows are gonna be there, Like even Disney seems to be giving up. They're going to license Lost and Gray's Anatomy to Netflix, which those are like massive ABC property that are I could really see Lost blowing up again.
Oh dude, I'm yeah. Has gen Z discovered Lost yet?
They're about to If they haven't, the.
Way they would go, I wonder if they'll be like, oh my god, like fucking John Locke is.
Baby girl, so baby girl, baby girl. John looks so baby girl. Jack is cringe as fuck, and Sawyer. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about it. I'm just the jury's out.
But then named me after Jack from Lost. That's how I got my name.
That's oh my name.
I don't know if you've ever heard of Jack Shepherd. He's a doctor from Lost, but that's my namesake.
My full name is doctor Jack Shephard from Lost.
From Jack Shepard from.
Is trending. I don't know that I want to talk about it. It's a new gen Z term that people seems to be trending from people using it and then people being like and nobody knows what it means. Uh, it's a term of endearment.
I guess, yeah. I mean, isn't baby girls?
That's everybody was baby girl in the.
Baby Girl but so baby girl.
Again.
I love that gen Z is just go picking through the garage of our of the popular culture of yesterdayear and.
Like, hey, what about this one baby?
Oh my god, that's so stupid.
I love it.
Yeah. Also, like, look for wrestling to have a big year in the coming year because or I guess it'll be twenty twenty five. Is that when they're doing it. But Netflix is taking their first big foray into live sports entertainment. I guess bye, They're they're going in on raw, the WWE thing. They spent five hundred million dollars per year, five billie over ten years of raw that.
Honestly, I'm like, I do not understand how you like how raw?
Like, look, I was all into raws war back in the day on Monday nights and shit, But like, how that's worth five hundred million a year. But I guess when you zoom out, you're like, it's because Netflix is now being like and we could put ads on that shit, right, and that.
I never associated wrestling. I mean I never really watched wrestling, but like when you watch wrestling, like, does it have like high value ads? Like I feel like it was always on like places that I wouldn't expect to have it to have, like you know, big car commercials and stuff like that.
Well, I just remember watching back in the day, like at the Height when it was like Stone Cold versus the Rock kind of thing, and they would just leave you on a cliffhanger, a cliffhanger and then just go to commercial and.
You're like, well, fuck, I can't like this shit is live.
I'm not going to fucking get up out of my seat or whatever or maybe you know what I mean. Like, So in that sense, I guess you can definitely absolutely have an audience there for the advertisements. But I think it's like again, anything they're looking at ways to diversify and bring in even more obscene amounts of money, and for them, they're like, Okay, this is something we could
put adds on where that goes. I'm not sure, like I've been so out of the wrestling fandom game for a minute, but that's maybe something worth asking Jack Keyes next time we see him.
Yeah. Absolutely, And John Stewart is returning to the Daily Show sort of. He's agreed to host just one day a week through the twenty twenty four election starting in February.
The rest of the time, other Daily Show correspondents will host, So the current format, which has been sort of a revolving door host format, isn't going away, but John Stewart will be the host every Monday after his Apple TV Plus show with the Problem with John Stewart suddenly ended following creative differences that apparently involved Apple and not wanting them to cover topics like China and artificial intelligence. Oho. So yeah, well he back on the Daily Show.
They came so, I mean, like, did you see at the Emmys when they when they won and Roy Wood Junior was up on stage and he just said hire a host.
Kid on stage. I loved it.
Oh, Roy Right. Apparently they were very.
Close to hiring hazamanaj and then that New Yorker article came out and gave it came.
Very cool because I know he like replied with his own things like this is a stretch, y'all.
Yeah, but it's all it's all it takes these days.
And it could have been Roywood Junior too, Yeah, could have been.
But hey, look, maybe we'll have somebody from the show on pretty soon.
Not making any promises, but it might happen, all right.
Well, those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, January twenty fourth. We are back tomorrow with a whole lass episode up the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, gets the vaccines, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
