The superb Owl. Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Kendrick Super Bowl Half Side Show or the superb Owl. Wow, Miles, are you doing a sports ball?
Well, yeah, you're gonna see the superb Owl on Sunday.
Oh yeah, superb owls. I will be tuning in. Yes, thank you, thank you very much, sir.
Oh god, were they're little hats, dorky science teacher. He's like, yeah, you guys watching the superb Owl on Sunday.
So many people, so many people love birdwatchers. Yeah, actually shout out the bird watchers. And I have been catching some pretty interesting owls every once in a while in my neighborhood on the with my parnds, like a like a seeker fuer got.
Dressed as like a bush and shit, I put a bunch of dead mice on my head.
That guy's outside again, the owl catcher guy.
I'll catch your He just he just keeps chasing possums in the street and claims their owls.
Another one, got another one, that's the possom you freaking anyways, it is Jack and that over there is Miles. Great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, first so good. Thank you to everybody sending nice comments. To me saying, hey, hey, you weren't that bad on Monday. I appreciate that. I appreciate it was really you know, it was real touch and go there.
But yeah, so good to have you back. What a week it's been.
I know I should have waited another week for the stories to get better. I think next week it's all gonna go away.
Yeah, thanks a lot, January, but no thanks, February. You've got this six days in. We're already getting fucked over. Pretty February bad man. I think Mark, which is where it turns around for us.
I thinks of March coming for really, that's usually the powerful in my experience, I hope, based on the Ryan Gosling film it's usually the powerful.
My only experience with the IDEs of March.
Oh, think about this. If Trump backstabs Elon Musk and shoes him out, and then Elon could say, at two two pay.
What what now we're talking anyway, y'all shout out my history degree. Brian the editor edit that out because we're going to actually write that into a sick work of satire that will be turning into a major motion picture. Yeah to two pay, I mean that shit writes itself. Actually it doesn't. You wrote it and you're a genius.
I just said it out loud without any consideration for other people.
That's how that works. I do want to say things are going to turn around for us for thirteen to twenty brief minutes on day as Kendrick Lamar takes the stage for the super Bowl halftime show. No clever commentary for me. I'm just very excited. H Just the asking the question was trying to explain to my friend, who is not a rap fan or a Kendrick fan. He's like, oh, that's who's doing the halftime show. I was like, yeah, well you know this song and he was like nope.
I was like, what a serial of this song? Had nothing? And I'm not going to say anything, but you know, very disappointing.
What is that person?
What do they listen to? It's a gay man who listens to a lot of like workout music, a lot of functional yeah yeah, like yeah, joy it.
It's like, yeah, I like to put this on when I do this, rather than like I'm a fan.
Of this artist. Yeah yeah, I think that's yeah, I get it. Do you think you know he likes think Sabrina Carpenter. He like, like, so the alternative if he had done that, and he has done that to me, been like you know her, you know this song and I'm like no, He's like, well, surely this one then.
Nah, I'd have a cure. Eg I don't know if I do an Espresso. I didn't say espresso.
Espresso. Oh I like that, and like, do you remember.
When Espresso was popping and then Molly Lambert came on and she was like, y'all fucking with an Espresso and We're like, yeah.
Uhh, yeah, so good Espresso. Didn't Espresso do it? Nah? She couldn't sell the song out that easily. No, No, they don't got money for that. Twenty five years from now, you know, yeah.
Yeah right exactly, oh right, when like these younger people hopefully do move into the demographic where they can buy a.
Machine by an Espresso machine. The thing that I've been having fun with ever since going through the exercise of being like this one, this one, this one is like, wait, but which ones would I play? Like what as Is Kendricks said? If I got to like design kendrick setlist, like who what would I open with?
I know, I think the opening would be Mad City.
Yes, definitely. I think that's just because.
It has like it has. You get all this and then you get that that's an explosive entrance, you know, no puns intended, given all the high security at that place.
Yeah, it won't be explosive because there are no coolers there, miles.
No coolers, only guns. Uh. The one thing.
Everybody can just lick off shots when he goes, Yeah, just licking off shots into the ceiling. But no, the dome.
The dome's roof has been compromised. The one thing I'm really curious is what manner if you know, because obviously the NFL halftime shows a very sanitized environment. I think there's a lot of questions, are he's gonna do not like us? But the question is is he going to be able to do the certified lover boy, certified pedophile into a minor part? The Grammys did that, They played that part of the song when he accepted the award. So we do have some broadcasts that are.
Like yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
But I want to know, like if there's what manner of protest, like what sort of the undertones are going to be of this show? I mean the music's going to be great, but I'm always curious how he will use the platform, if at all. I mean, like, I'm kind of holding my breath, but I'm also like, this is the NFL. They'll probably like cut the power from the fucking super or whatever the dome they're off, he said, and to Donald Trump, the lights go off.
Oh shit, we will be right back after these messages. Those messages will be right back. Maybe it was sanitized with the Pepsi halftime show, but this is the Apple halftime show. All right, man, Yeah that's true.
Oh that's right Apple Music.
Sure, sure, sure it's been it's being Apple since Rihanna. Is that right?
Oh okay, I don't know.
I couldn't tell you. I don't know the history of the halftime shows. Yeah, but I'm excited. I feel like alright is going to be in there. Humble need some good kid, Mad City. But you know, if we like money Trees is obviously just like a great songs wavy yeah yeah, bish yeah, bishy, like I don't know if yeah, and they're like that's got to get cleaned up.
Backseat freestyle could also be don'ty.
Freestyle would be so fun. There's so many good answers from Good Kid, Mad City. Like every time you pick a song from Good Kid, Mad City, I get more excited. And chances are there's not going to be a single song from that right like it, I'll take look, I'll take great but yeah, yeah, squabble up TV's off. Uh yeah.
And also he'll probably have them because his is also there too. I'm guessing like Luther and yeah, maybe thirty for thirty from her album.
But we'll see, we'll see either way.
I'm I'm looking forward to I'm looking forward to tuning into only the halftime show.
Hey, set your alarms, everybody, all right. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, Our president is losing popular for some reason. Specifically, the idea of him having a lot of influence over Donald Trump dropped from popular among Republicans forty seven when like right after the election to twenty six. So after the election, people like I actually want him to have a lot of influence of people being Republicans forty seven percent of people. It is now down to twenty six for some reason.
We don't know why this is, because it doesn't make sense. The guy's killing it. Meanwhile, people who want him to have none at all, went from twelve percent up to seventeen percent. And again, these are Republicans. They think that the best thing you can be, the surest sign that you are a genius is that you're the richest man of all time. So he was starting on third on this question, you know, and has managed to shit his pants on the way home.
Yeah, not even like yeah, it's like born on first. But then they put home plate in between first and second.
Yeah, exactly, gave him a huge lead, pitched it underhand with of course planters.
On completely altered the rules of the game for comedy.
Yes, and he has shipped himself on the way to running home. The most popular answer is now a little influence, just a little bit. But that's probably just because they didn't include would you like Elon Musk to have godlike unchecked absolute power over Donald Trump and everyone else in this country for some reason, I don't know why they did that. By the way, the overall numbers, so those are the Republican numbers, which, like you, still expect him
to be very popular. The overall numbers even less promising. Only thirteen percent of Americans want him to have a lot of influence. Twenty five percent want him to have a little influence and forty six percent of Americans want him to have none at all, almost like they don't fuck with this guy.
Weird. It's funny too, Like I see a lot of get it. There's a lot of like articles about how Tesla sales are also just in the like just nose diving because of Elon.
But I'm part of me is like that shit doesn't even matter anymore.
Like this, this guy is approaching levels of wealth that like he'd be like, I don't even need Tesla anymore. Bro, that was a means to an end for me to just get in the cockpit over here and just fuck around with the computers.
Yeah, I can see him like claiming that he's divested, you know, like Trump was like and I'm giving up all my trump power of the Trump Company. I'm stepping away from Trump to stay boy genius wonder kNs. Donald Trump Junior.
Boy big balls over here, shot big balls that snow really fucked up, making Donald Trump Junior the smart one, like the straight man in that.
It's just like no nobody's ever looked dumber. Yeah, I guess, yeah, he looks. I think let's take a quick break, We'll be right back, and we're back. We're back. It was cool to see net and Yahoo and Trump on the same stage at the same time. You know, that was kind of cool. Ye see a couple true geeps.
Just never seen like two pieces of ship be able to like stand up on their own like that. Usually they just like turn it a little pile on the grass on the sidewalk.
But these they were wearing suits and stuff. They were wearing suits, standing up all by themselves like big boys. Yeah yeah, but they they did pass past a little gift between the two then I guess it's made of gold. Yeah. Sotaho gave Trump a golden pager during their meeting and watching an allusion to a deadly September operation carried out by Israel in Lebanon which targeted pagers used by members of the Iram backed militant group has Bela, which is fucking wild.
Yes, deadly seven mass maiming event, absolute international prime. Yeah, a lot a lot of people, a lot of people were catching strays over this one. And now yeah, yeah, now you're giving here's a commemorative fucking pager. It's like so fucking stupid, Like how predictable. Trump is where Babie's like, gotta get him something made of gold, you know, And then the he's gonna he's just gonna love that.
He loves gold.
Everything's gold.
It would be.
Funny though Trump. I bet Trump didn't even know what the fuck that meant.
He was like, what the fuck is this a pager? Yeah? I stopped using these two years ago.
They made me stop.
They made me give up my pager when I got into office the second time. Yeah.
Great, great to see how absolutely unhinged these two can be together. And again it's funny too. He's back on the like we're not We actually can own Gaza, but just not in the way that you think.
And it's like, okay, own them, like the way Alabama owns Texas, A and M you know what I mean. Trump gave Natya, who assigned photograph of the two of them. He signed the photograph to BB A great leader, fir sorry, a great leader exclamation port, which yeah that was according to a photo on Instagram. But he's so New York.
He's a golden pager for you. And then Trump is like, I'm gonna treat Net and Yahoo like a dry cleaner.
I go to all the time. Exactly. Yeah, yea New.
York in your hallway or whatever.
All right, man, new York pizza place. Uh yeah, well they were impressed at Mario's. So this guy also ethnic, I could just give him a signed photo as currency. That's that's wild. Yeah, all right.
This this is a fun story from People, a fun bit of clickbait. But that precisely the kind of story you don't need to be reading in People magazine.
Yeah, exactly. But they they know how to get people to click on a story. That's what. That's what the title people dot com is short for. We know how to get people to click on the story headline Lung cancer diagnoses are increasing among people who have never smoked. M dash. Here's why we're not going to tell you in the title asshole, Yeah, because that would be responsible reporting. It's it's air pollution. Air pollution is what's causing this. But I do love when the secret, dark heart of
our civilization is hidden behind a clickbait headline. Absolutely, this is a thing that there there's been report, growing evidence and reporting around. You know, my understanding of lung cancer from growing up like that's how two of my grandparents died, you know, lifelong smoker. But yeah, it was just the thing that happened to people who smoked. You know.
It's like it's like you avoid lung cancer by not smoking cigarettes.
Next question exactly, Next question, asshole. So this latest study reveals that it's the fourth largest leading cause of cancer death globally for people who don't smoke. So you just take everybody out of the equation who has ever smoked, which includes me, like, you know, that's a lot of people, like not just like people who quit, like anyone who's ever smoked. Take them out, and the fourth leading cause of cancer death among those people is lung cancer.
Well, they're probably lying about not smoking exactly. That's my response as someone from the petroleum and fossil fuels industry.
That's right, yeah, yeah, because that so, by the way, smoking has lowered the overall numbers significantly. So it is still great that everybody, so many people have quit smoking, and it seemed impossible, you know in the eighties, like everybody was smoking. So great work humanity on solving that one or like you know, making significant progress on that.
But hidden inside that overall drop is the fact that it's going up for people who've never smoked at all because the air quality is getting worse, and the stat from again people dot com shout out to people doing the hard hitting research as long as it can be hidden behind a clickbait headline. The World Health Organization set a standard of breathable air for just like human lungs, and by twenty nineteen air quality had dropped to the point that half of the global population does not live
in breathable air. That would be really bad, right, except it's all all of the all of the global population, the whole goddamn thing we live.
We're below the standards.
Yees, below the breatheability standards. We're all My Apple watch says otherwise. Yeah, well that's according to a standard that is not set by the World Health Organization. It's like the you know, this spoiling frog where they're like, we're gonna need So we've got some corporate lobbyists here who are asking us to change the quality the air quality standards so that things are like a little greener, a little bit more seem, a little bit more breathable.
That is such a scandalous fact. It's unable, Like I don't know how God damn these people are so fucking good at what they do and just keeping people fucking distracted from the fact that they're like none of y'all motherfuckers are fucking breathing and clean air.
At this point, the entire global popular as of twenty nineteen quote This is a quote. As of twenty nineteen, nearly the entire global population lives in areas with air quality levels below standards set by the World Health Organization.
Okay, Zach, that's why I caught you, bro nice try woke guy, nearly.
Nice try woke.
Okay, yeah, yeah, Hey, Adrian woke, Rianowski, stop trying to drop your wolf bombs on us right now because you just said nearly the entire.
Goal that's all right, Well yeah, yeah, so we're we're probably fine.
Yeah, we're probably finding Los Angeles where they say any have you seen that sad about like how all people who live in major cities all have like this film in their lungs, like when they die, regardless, just from all of like the you know, the smog and just shit that spewed out of like vehicles and stuff.
No, I didn't see that. That sounds good though, right. Film. I'm a big film fan I'm a setophile. Uh yeah, Google. This is all listed by Alec Carrittsanas. He's a guest on the show who does a lot of you know, anti prison, anti police research and just you know of.
Yeah, fantastic lawyer.
Just just does a good job of explaining like why we're out of yeah, yeah, reform exactly, and he as a thing that like the mainstream media could be covering instead. He often lists air pollution and my eyes sort of like glaze over, and I'm just like, yeah, we know air pollution is bad, but like it's gotten so bad as and just like nobody was paying attention like it. It makes sense given the incentive structors that we know
are set up. Like if corporations are the only thing that counts as an entity that has a voice in this country, the only thing with actual power to affect change, and like the only thing that can actually protect itself from existential threats, they're going to be free to pollute the air as much as they want because people don't have those same rights. And since the human breathers down here don't have those rights, our health is going to be ignored in a way that is Yeah, I don't
know this is just wild. It's real, like frog boiling situation. Yeah, we're yeah, we're now at the point where the corporations can treat us however the fuck they want.
Yeah, they're like, oh, I'm sorry, but we're only going to do what's right for us, So like you don't even have to ask what we're gonna do.
You know. And when you raise stuff like that, people treat it as if you are being unrealistic. That like, idealistic people are basically childish, and money is the only thing that is real.
It must be nice to like, because I mean, that's also a form of denial for people when they respond to stuff like that.
I think because I think it's just comfortable.
Oh absolutely, because it's not that they believe that what you're saying is bullshit. They're like, look, bro, I cannot acknowledge that. I don't have the fucking mental fortitude to acknowledge that. So I'm just gonna shout you down because I don't want to fucking hear about it or know about it.
Yeah.
Very very unsettling. Uh, but you know, maybe AI will help solve them. It's definitely going to change our lungs out for I don't know how like the carbon sequestration tubes too.
I don't know, I don't know.
AI. Please figure this out.
Yeah, I mean just in terms of the the direction that AI's headed. Alphabet Us, you know technology company that owns Google, said on Tuesday that just before it reported lower than they had forecast at earnings, that it had updated its ethical guidelines around AI and they no longer referred to not pursuing technologies that could cause or are likely to cause overall harm. Again, this is what we've
seen with the markets. So corporation is the only thing with any like power, any like real standing in America, and the thing the only thing that they answer to is the market. And they're like, okay, so you're not gonna like these numbers we're about to give you, but but in some good news, we are willing to use AI to kill people. Now, So I'm sorry people of color, people, we might hears people around the globe. Yeah, oppress people that don't like actually, uh, you have my attention.
Go on, go on now. Yeah, it's God, all this shit that they have to do for these like earnings reports and how they handle the fucking market, it's just being like, sorry, we did that. However, we are now fully engaged open mouth kissing the Pentagon to let them do whatever they're like, Well we're helping them out.
So we got this.
We get it, we got it.
We get it, we got it. That's gonna do it for this Thursday. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Isn't that right, Miles, brand new, brand new sho heard of that, a brand new banger dropping on you, so uh check that out. Tune in until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines and get your flu shots while you still can. Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye by
