Speaker 1

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of saying Anger Around my Trand whoa, that's a Metallica song I just heard for the first time. Yeah, that's a twenty year old Metallica song. I missed everything after the Black album. Oh yeah, apparently there's a new album out. I have not heard it. But what's the last? The last Metallica song I can remember is same Anger Around? Because that video, like San Quentin, I was like, what the fuck is

going on? We also found out that Kirk Hammett was gifted a magazine that like The night Stalker, Richard Ramirez like had and I guess wanted to give it. I don't know. He said, yeah, gave him a magazine with Metallica on the cover, and then the subscription tag on the magazine said Richard Ramirez, Damn, anyway, that's pretty tight. Put it Hammet's a Nazi, right, yeah, put it in Harlan Crowe's museum. Um yea, all right, Well some big news you can get a low and the Wienermobile. Yeah

a little. The headline from Fox Austin, and I love that the headline doesn't even entertain the possibility that this is something couples would be doing with the approval of their families. They're just like, yeah, you're probably gonna want to like run and make a hasty decision on this one, or like don't fucking talk down on my Oscar Myra Ween or won't bile wedding. I'm not, this is not the moment. Everybody's here because this is a good thing to do. I want to be married by a processed

phallic meat van. Yeah, exactly, great friend of the show, Jamie Loftus, I this feels aspirational for her. I would love to preside over that wedding in front of the Wienermobile. It's like a two day window that they're offering it up. Um, so it's real. It's a stunt. It's a pop up, a pop up hot Dog mobile wedding chapel event. But as more people seek stress free ceremonies with their partners, our hot Doggers are thrilled to reignite the joy of this special day and give them a once in a

lifetime experience a wedding through a pair of meat colored glasses. Yeah, yeah, that thing says a d stressor like looking at things through meat colored glasses, at colored glasses if you think about Hey, Jack, oh man, I think you're just too woke. Man. You're looking at everything through your meat colored glasses, man,

and that's not how the world works. That's right. PBS also quitting Twitter UM they will suspend posting after similarly being branded with a government funded media label UM, presumably intended to warn people that Joe Biden is the secret puppet master behind reruns of Arthur. Seems like it seems like that I'm getting on TBS. Daniel the Tiger. You don't even know about Daniel, isn't it Daniel? I mean, I hate to pull your card, isn't it Daniel Tiger?

Daniel the I I just think it's more definitive than that, Miles. Okay, Oh, like the Ohio State University, Yes, exactly, Monday Night Football, Daniel the Tiger, the Ohio State University. What if you went on to be a yeah college football line with the with the speed AI is moving Jack. We could just punch a few magical words and be like, give me a Monday Night football starting lineup intro package, but with all children's cartoon characters. That's right, Body Bear, Sesame Street.

The vast majority of PBS funding come from the US government. It's about fifteen percent. Because that's fast. Yeah, the US government couldn't get away with it over the past forty years as it became an evil to have anything publicly funded in the United States. Um, but you know, viewer donations, probably some corporate sponsorships here and there. Yeah. I feel like they're refrained with all these things. You listen to MPR,

you watch PBS. My only idea of it is like, so we're doing our pledge drive right, Like, fine, what, yeah, you need money because we're funded by Joe Byron. Um. You know, I must responded to a question about the NPR situation on Twitter by proclaiming defund NPR. Uh so he's just I like. He then goes on he said quote NPR literally said federal funding is essential to public radio on their own website. Now taken down. What hypocrites.

I guess they won't mind losing federal funding in that case. Yeah, yeah, okay, what about your federal funds? You need to take away all the money that he drived from federal funding. Yeah, let's see see how that feels. Go do one loan scum so cash app, the founder of cash app Bob Lee was murdered apparently knew the suspect that allegedly stabbed him to death. Another person in the tech industry, Yeah, so yeah, but I love the takes from other people, like the woman who was like, we just need to

start public lynchings. Bro what people in tech like, Yeah, what's going on? I think that's just such a That whole story was used to set you a thousand ships to see of, like it's a hell escape. This rich guy got stabbed to death, and now you're like, yeah,

it sounds like it's not a fucking random crime. He knew the alleged perpetrator, right, But it's I think he just shows like how quickly, like the people who need their confirmation bias sort of a little info snacks to come out, Yes, exactly see what happened to what happened? I mean, they got all of America to believe that San Francisco was like this out of control, like on fire hellscape based on like some videos of shoplifting and

an earnings report by CBS. So yeah, surely they'll be able to spin this into Tucker Carl Singold or maybe becomes about immigration if the guy is not like in a US citizen or something. Sure, it's the immigens. I always knew it was them, even before the bears. I knew it was them. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come right back. And we're back, and Tesla is in the news. What what are they doing? What's up

with them? Did they lose their public funding? So we've talked about how that's a racist hellscape to work in form black workers and how like, you know, they called like an area where black workers called they were like they called it the jungle and shit and all kinds of racism that these people had to be out of sight when the Lamas came to work. This was a plant in Fremont, California, and you know, these were like

these allegations were wild. But then like other people who had also worked at that were like, yeah, it's the same thing over here at this factory too. Oh weird, weird, weird.

So the State Supreme Court issued like a ruling and basically saying that they are allowing workers to seek a public injunction on Tesla, which would basically require the company to acknowledge that they are racist and be like, look, we're a racist and we're gonna have to change our business practices in a tangible way because of this injunction,

which could be really interesting for them there. And if you've kept up, if we kept up with some of the news there, Like one of the last things we heard about like Tesla workers was they were like sharing private videos from like the car like things that the cars were capturing with their cameras of like the owners and likely having jokes and shit yea for the lolls being like yeah, yeah, we just we're invading this person's privacy because our car has a camera. I don't know

what you want me to do. It is really funny what happened in this thing. So anyway, good for them. And you know, elon, you know, dude, do you baby killing it? Glad? He's the most famous and popular and powerful person in our country at the moment. That's cool. Hey, we're a close second though, you know the time where we're creeping up. So NBA play in tournament story DeMar de Rosen's daughter, So DeMar Derozen has had an amazing couple seasons. Two guard whose game is like sort of

not fit to the current NBA. He's not a three point shooter. He's got more of a mid range game, but he's been powering this kind of resurgence and toughness by the Chicago Bulls. They beat the Raptors in the Raptors Arena, and DeMar De Rosen's daughter went viral because so this is something that I saw, Like as the game was going on, NBA fan Matt Boosti's guest CJ. Toldano tweeted, like, who is screaming at this Raptors home game every time they shoot a free throw? Like this

is weird. You could just hear it as they would shoot, you know, the home crowd would typically go quiet, right. Anyone who's also been a troll at their high school basketball game from the stands knows this tactic very well. Is scream when they shoot the free throw, and there's like a split screen like depiction of what was going on, and she is so locked in. It's amazing. This is her screaming her head off while the Raptors take a free throw right off the heel of It's scream queen level.

It's so good and so the thing that people like in addition to it catching everyone's attention. So the camera eventually found her and we're like, oh, it's DeMar de Rosen's daughter. That's so, you know, she traveled to the game and was fucking with the heads of the Raptors to the point that they missed a shockingly high number of free throws and lost by a smaller margin than the number of free throws they missed, right, Like, usually an NBA team will miss like a handful of free

throws in an entire game. They missed eighteen and only lost by you know, five points. So really, is she's on this one? Yeah, I mean it's it's no cornet contest, but uh, you know, I mean, actually this is probably the most effective scene. Yeah, this one. Yeah, when Siaka misses that shot, it's unbelievable. Like you're like, oh, she she has the keys to your brain and she's she's

just moved in Okay, good, I mean it is. It is a uniquely vulnerable part of a professional sport, like if you did this in tennis or golf, like one of the you know, because it's just you against the rim like any of those individual sports where like you're supposed to have concentration like that, they'll pull you, like you'll get escorted out of the arena if you tried this,

but the like the NBA just doesn't do that. So um, wow, they shot eight they shot fifty percent from the fifty percent holy shit, eighteen of thirty six, like we just unheard of, so I don't know. Wow. Yeah, it was powerful enough that, like in the beginning before like people had realized that their free throw shooting was going to be the story of the game. People were already tweeting

about it, being like, who is that dude? This? I just love this condensed highlight reel of all this screams and the missed free particular game or something miss miss The total number was really good for him right now was good, fertile this and this is also the dream of anybody who was like rooted hard for a team and like I used to do all sorts of things in my own like magical thinking, broken brain to like make people miss a free throw, either on TV or

like in the arena. Um. But she did it. She did it for all of us to prove you can affect affect the game by just sheer willum. So congratulations to her and the Bulls who became with that win, the first ten seed to ever win a playing game and will be going against the Miami Heat to try and secure a spot in the NBA playoffs. Yeah, Harlan Crowe, When when will we just leave this young man alone, this poor billionaire who's just trying to unburden himself of

the billions of dollars inherited wealth. Oh, can we stop going in on this guy? Well, guess the fuck what we've found out now that it's from pro pro Publica. In twenty fourteen, his fucking companies purchased a string of properties in Savannah, Georgia, and not necessarily anything to note. I mean it's like, you know, it's like an single story home, two baket lots down the road. Oh, but um, who owned that property? Well, guess the fuck what? Uh?

It was owned by Clarence Thomas's mother and the transaction this is from ProPublica quote marks the first known instance of money flowing from the Republican mega downer to the Supreme Court justice. The Crow Company bought the properties for one hundred thirty three thousand, three hundred and sixty three dollars from three co owners Thomas, his mother, and the family of his late brother. Wow. So whoa yeah, Oh, you owned that. Oh man, this is the wildest coincidence.

Clar you bought my mom's house. That's that's wild. Yeah, it was about property. I'm I'm glad that you you liked it. Um, And this is during a time of historic Supreme Court decisions protecting the ability of generationally wealthy people to hold on to their money. Yeah, it's nothing to see here. This is fuck Like, this is fuckery

in your face at the highest magnification. Absolutely, what the fuck is going I mean it's like, even without knowing this, just like his behavior and his wife's behavior is enough to be like, uh, yeah, I think we need to get this guy out of here. But Jesus chrazy, hey buy my mom's house and fix it up. And they won't. And they won't. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the news. So on Tuesday, a video of Arnold Schwarzenegger taking it upon himself to fix a gaping pothole on a street near

his home, I guess surfaced online. You know, not because he was recorded by passers by, but because he uploaded it to his official Twitter account, complete with like a musical accompaniment. So this sparked a lot of media attention. With a lot of headlines hilariously joking that Arnold Schwarzenegger had turned eminated the pothole. Yeah, which is cool. I'll be black top. I mean, there's so so many directions to go, but yeah, stuck with the pitched it straight

down the middle. But then the media cycle turned negative after the city claimed that Schwarzenegger didn't fill in a pothole, but rather a service trench that was intentionally made by the gas company while they did work, and then shole we needed that. He's like that, that like leads you to believe that he's like filling in a manhole cover

right right right, blacktop. But then I don't know, I don't I don't think anyone's fully telling the truth here, because then he's like, actually it was they had finished the work in January and we're just waiting to fill it in. Um, the roads in Los Angeles aren't great. No, I'm I think we're the last people to be like, leave the fucking DWP alone or you know, LA or Caltrans, you know, people who are in charge of the roads, leave them alone, because oh my god, especially after the rains,

Oh my god. Yeah, because already like like the fact that it's so hot and dry here just makes it like just a little bit of moisture ends up turning it into like an old dish sponge that just like dissolved under the tire. So yeah, the ground just completely liquefies and everything starts crumbling. Yeah, well, anyway, but you know what, Arnold, you did it. You proved your point. Um. But well, I for one will be watching as a Netflix show now. I'm sorry. What is it even about again?

I couldn't really tell. It just seems like action, a big action thing. I don't know what is it about. I don't know action? Then there might be some action. Is it called food bar? I believe it is. It's called fu bad what it's called? You know? And not just for two hours? Okay? Can they say that exactly? You can? All right, those are some of the things that are trending Thursday, April thirteenth. We're back tomorrow with

a 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 you all tomorrow. Bye bye, fo bar for us by arrogant rich people. There it is
