Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trendle Roy The Big All right guys, So today on the Rewatchable, as we were talking about the winners and the losers of the Succession finale, kendle Roy Big big l.
Big winner, he somehow turns out a big big winners. Yeah, actually losing his winning as my.
I mean, if if you think about it, like if they hadn't stuck that last bit on it with him looking out of the river, I would have been like, well, that's like probably better for him in the long run.
But they're like, Noah, this dude is just gonna be like this.
Records town.
Hey, speaking of Motown, we've got another golden age of music coming to us right now, courtesy of one for Giato. Blow oh Jack, you don't know and you don't know and you don't know, you're gone or hand me downs? Uh this uh this fellow.
He released a song Boycott Target.
That is the sickest fucking name for a song.
So tight because it works on so many levels.
Sorry, no, it just works on a single level.
Call to action.
Put the call to action in your song title and that's how you know it is good art. So this is this is like a maga rapper.
Uh.
He shot a music video at the Capitol on six and forget using that sort of scramble uh cinema verite on the fly, stealing shots echos. He also to a music video for Everything for boycott Target in a Target and it supporters, his supporters. Trump's supporters have gotten the song to the top of the iTunes charts, knocking Taylor Swift out of the number one spot, and he's claiming that Apple is shadow.
Banning the song.
I'm sorry.
The song that as if you you might remember from ago is the the number one song on the charts of iTunes.
I say, all these people do are talking these buzzwords like because it's meaningless, like like we talked about the default on the debt ceiling and tomorrow's ups Like they just hear like a word and like, yeah, I'm gonna bandy it about.
I'll tell you who's defaulting. It's default of Joe Biden is who's default it is. But anyways, the reason it's so popular is because it has an undeniable melody, and I don't know, actually it's because people like Marjorie Taylor Green is uh promoting it like everywhere.
It's I like, how even in like his like tweet or whatever. It's like it's Shadow Band all over the world right now. Literally what he said, like what what the fuck does that mean? But yeah, I mean the video itself is really something else.
First of all, I have to imagine something's happening behind the scenes, like where a small number of people have found a way to like game the system and also just have the will, like they are in such desperate need of a culture, a cultural win that I don't doubt that they are, like they have something that is triggering it, making it seem like this song is being listened to more than it is because it's bad. The video, yeah, as you were referencing, pretty great.
I mean he's going through Target and he's grabbing shit like bud light, you know, from the shelves and like taking off with it or like tam packs.
But what he's mad at tampacs.
I don't know, or it's probably for it's probably for liberals, because soy men need here's your tampon lib And in the screen cap, he does look like he's viewing a like he's finding out about tampax.
For the first time.
Yeah, he looks like a discerning consumer. To be honest, he's like, now, isn't a super kind of day? I don't know the.
Video he is doing the exact opposite of what he's telling people to be doing, because he's just not buying so much bud light and pampons. He also is mad at a toy featuring the only female Paw Patrol character Sky I believe her name is Oh, which I don't think that was a controversy, Like are they really these are grown men who are really angry over the idea of a girl dog existing in the world of adventure Bay.
I mean they they think tampons are an affront to their fucking movement. Then I can see why they But again I'm like, what why is that even? Like a like, what is the occupation of that dog? Is it the cop?
No, she's a pilot? Sky?
What the fuck?
Level than this song?
Like his one like friend of Color who's willing to debase himself and be in this video is looking at the toy, so he's throwing his hands up, like the fuck is this toyll?
Those aren't those aren't real, those aren't exist, Those aren't exist. The the fact that like a a show that is like all boys and a girl is like too much girl for them.
Oh maybe that's what it is. He's like. You also get rid of the April O'Neil character from Ninja Turtles. Okay, just out of here. We're just all boys, just fucking turtles, bro, that's it and a rat. Fine, But I think to your point, right, like, the reason this shit takes off is because all of their like homebrew conservative media is
like so bad. It always takes someone who started as a liberal and then just turned or like wasn't always in this world and then turned to it to like give it the sort of like polish that looks like professional content or something. Because this guy wasn't always maga rapping. He was just a plain old shitty rapper. Yeah, couldn't get anybody fucking to listen to him.
I mean, who has many other maga maga rap songs, such as one that samples you can Call Me Out by Paul Simon called you can call Me Kyle m That about Kyle Rittenhouse. Yeah, but this is the biggest hit. His real name is not for Geato Blow, It is Kurt Jance. Well, so you got Kurt Chance on the line. He was just a failed white rapper whose songs about money, cars, guns, and women never got any attention, so he pivoted to uh rapping about Trump and developed a following of garbage people.
Kurt Chance should be a word for gene shorts. I think, oh yeah, Kurt as in short, and then Jan says in geen.
Pants right or like? Or like? Is it a skirt with built in jean pants underneath?
Now we're talking.
Look man, hey for GIATO get at us? Man who got ideas? One of them being end your career? Now?
He he has a tattoo of Trump on his leg with the words self made, which obviously Trump is not self made.
He like inherited millions and millions of.
Dollars like as a child. Chance's family are millionaires. His grandfather started Auto Trader magazine.
Fucking NEPO failed rapper. Come on, man.
Come on.
He claims he's legitimate because he was homeless for over a year because he was like briefly disinherited or something the right.
Could you imagine He's like, yeah, my grandfather said I was acting too black, so I kicked me out of the family. And then then I was homeless for a year. Now I'm a legit rapper because I was home I'm sorry, what is hip hopics being homeless?
Right? Yeah, I guess so?
Or is that just like his way of saying like, look, I know I've had everything handed to me on a silver platter or spoon, but I barely spent my parents' money for like one year.
There was a period where I was not a homeowner. I was just ranting, it's really hard.
So I know what it's like. It is a lot of NWA. I've started connecting with the.
Streets all right. Al Pacino is expecting a new baby. We recently learned that Robert de Niro had a seventh child at the age of seventy nine. And yeah, I don't know what they're putting in the drinking water on the set of Heat. But now al Pacino is gonna have a baby. At the age of eighty three with his girlfriend nor Afala. He already had three children, the
youngest being his twenty two year old twins. And I don't know, yes, so when the whole thing happened between like Pacino versus De Niro, Young Pacino versus young de Niro,
like the showdown. There was something in me that was like, they're paying attention to this, like they're because there was there were always those rumors about like how on the set of Heat, like they couldn't even like be on set together, which is why like the whole movie, like you know, when it first came out, the big promise was like finally Pacino and de Niro in a movie, in a scene together, and then there's never a shot where they're like clearly there's a scene that they share
where they're like across from each other, but it's shot with like over the shoulder shots. You never see them like on framed up together, and I don't know, they like kind of occupy this very similar position. And so I'm wondering if this isn't baby is not at least partially motivated by the Pacino de Niro hot so where they were like fifty to fifty right down the middle. But is that enough time for conception to occur from al Pacino? Yeah, Like does it does it line up with that?
Or?
I think overarchingly, I think to your point is probably like he probably heard DeNiro was about to have another kid a few months ago, and he's like, fuck, yeah, maybe here. I've been told by my urologists that it is not a good idea at all. Eighty three year old sperms not quite what they used to be. Uh, but hey, I guess yeah, go off, go off, al do it too.
Truly, that just.
Makes it so funny to me, like if they part of him is so he's just so pressed by the idea of DeNiro any kid, like DeNiro had a kid.
And then there were all those memes about I'm not assuming that our Chino is a very online person, but you know, the it's in the cultural shared consciousness. People were like, oh, de Niro still out here, fucking and then that led to a poll about who which of them was more attractive in their prime, and then that led to al Pacino being like.
I'm still out here, babe.
Yeah, I don't worry. I just it's fine. Bro. You eighty three, man.
Yeah, eighty three.
You are eighty three, your partner was you were fifty four when your partner was born. Fam, it's a bit of an age gap. But again, apparently she's she's not, she's not. She likes the older men.
Yeah, she's been romantically linked to Clint Eastwood, Mick.
Jaggar that Clint Eastwood, I'm sorry, that feels like a bridge too far. I get you fucking with like old al Pacino Mick Jagger got the swagger, but not get off my lawn. Clint Eastwood. Hell no, but hey, look do you I hope you're getting whatever you're looking for.
Whenever your type is that strong, you're gonna you're going to make some exceptions. My type is extremely famous sex symbol from the year nineteen seventy two.
That's what I'm looking for.
Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. We're back.
And this is just something a question that I've seen trending on Twitter. Zephyr on Call tweeted, how is it twenty twenty three? And nobody's come up with a satisfying explanation as to why cell phones never show up in their dreams if we're using them for twelve hours a day, And then Jason Pargin just retweeted him, was like, so have you ever had a phone in your dream?
I haven't. I also not.
Yeah, my I'm sorry, I got really distracted Jack, I was looking at Nora. I'll follow his Instagram. Uh oh, the last picture she posted with al Pacino is her al Pacino, who looks this motherfucker look like he's mid sentence saying where am I? And they're at an art gallery, which I think. I feel like she's grifting this man. She says, my friend Bennett Miller has an exhibition of new prints produced using a doll E image generator.
Yes, so she tracked.
She dragged al Pacino's ass to lend some cred to this man's AI art exhibit.
Oh hell no, yeah, al Pacino lost half of his life savings on the bitcoin.
Oh look at him, he looks. This is this is like some weekend at Bernie.
Shit.
Yeah, I think it's three, but for eighty three is a big is doing a lot.
You would know what doll E was, Na, what the fuck they telling him when they pulled up to the Gogozian fucking gallery that came was just.
What you're telling me? You made that image?
Wow, Wow, these things are strong creative. But Gino, I mean Picasso watch out. Okay, I'm sorry, but back to the fucking phones thing. I've never had a.
Phone, no or in real life. You know that. I'm like Bill Murray. You know, you call my my one voicemail line and I and I hit you back. But like in my dreams, the most technologically advanced it's ever been has been like me flying a plane, but I was trying to keep it from crashing.
Oh, I have a lot of car dreams. Like some of the earliest dreams are card.
Dreams of my earliest work.
Some of my earliest work were my uh the recurring nightmare is about being in the backseat of the car and my mom gets out to like run an errand and the car takes off with me in it.
Like phantom driver style or.
Like drivers style, or you're like.
Like in the back getting thrown around.
Yeah, yeah, that was.
Oh it is weird, Like I have technology in my dreams but not phones. Super producer Brian was pointing out that like we can't really read in our dreams, Like our dreaming brain isn't good at producing text, like readable text. And I have experienced that where I'm like trying to read something and realize like the letters aren't anything, and I'm like, wait, what the fuck is.
I can't read?
But but anyways, that's something I'd be interested in hearing from listeners about have you have you dreamt phones? Because like the one In response to Jason's query, people were like, I have had stress dreams where I'm trying to call nine to one one because of something that's happening and the phone doesn't work. Right, I'm sure I've had that, but I'm sure it was just with like the phone of my childhood.
It says a lot about you. I don't call nine to one one?
Yeah, yeah, no, that's.
My problems. But yeah it's a nightmare. Who showed up a murder squad? But yeah, I mean tech stuff. Yeah, And I was telling you that right now my dreams. The other big thing is smoking weed. That kind of fucks up here. I've noticed that. Like when I'm not smoking weed, then I'm like, what the fuck are these dreams? But recently I've been having dreams, but they're all to do with my baby becoming too tall and jumping out the bassinet and I gotta like keep them from like running out the house.
Those are no dream smiles, I know, I know.
Yeah, wait where do he go?
Uh?
Superducer Brian was saying that phones are essentially part of our minds, so like it's like such an extension of you.
Yeah, because like I don't have car.
Dreams now that I can drive my car, right, because once you're driving a car, your car just becomes an extension of your body.
Oh so that's you said your earlier work was riving.
This was pre when I was in the back seat.
Like, my only experience of a car was like being in the back seat, strapped in while my mom was running into I think that was a lot more commons. Just be like, you wait out here for forty five minutes.
Oh yeah, my grandmother did that too, And I took the e break off and the car started rolling down the hill. Yeah, but it almost fucking killed myself. It was pretty pretty bad.
But yeah, so he was pointing, I would be like dreaming about your own brain, or like your eyes or you.
Know something like that.
My face eggs, your face eggs.
That is my big takeaway from the succession.
Finally, the best part of that, honestly was face eggs everything.
That's just a thing. They know.
They're like, I know you don't like eyes, a little grotesque little face. Face eggs like to stick my thumbs and that fella's face eggs. You know, Yeah, I'd see Twitter might be worth one third what Elon Musk.
Paid for it last fall. Uh.
And that's that's not just like ship posting that his fidelity has marked it down, marked down their investment to that level.
I mean, who would have thought. I mean again, we've been watching it kark a slow motion car crash every fucking day or something, and especially after I'm reminded of a scene from a Princess Bride.
Oh no, yeah, the fifteen seconds of silence and short that came.
It was only thirteen seconds. Find a new angle. The pause would have fit in an Instagram story.
Uh.
And finally there there's a new report from Vanity Fair about the Lost Writer's Room and just what a fucking disaster it was.
Yeo, like racist and sexistist, fucked up. Carlton Q's Damon Lindeloff all got like they're getting I mean, they look like shit after this this story. But like Harold Parrino, the black man who plays Michael, he talks about like in the thing, it's like, you know, he was featured,
you know, it kind of started. His appearances were lessening as the seasons went along, And it turns out there was absolutely like there was some shit going on because he was like, oh yeah, me and Daniel day Kim, we were reduced to like the black guy and the Asian guy, and then you had the other the main characters,
which were Jack, Kate and Sawyer. And he goes on to talk about how like Malcolm David Kelly, who played Walt his son, had like a huge growth spurt between seasons, and that completely fucked with like the showrunners who didn't know how to like come up with I don't know, like an explanation because you're already on this wacky motherfucking island that they just decided, oh you know what, maybe it was just have him, you know, disappeared by the others, so we don't have a fucking.
Invented the beach from old like yeah, twenty years before and yeah, I mean that could have been Ip.
That could have been lost Ip.
Locke was out here walking.
Yeah, you know what I mean. I think, come up with a reason that this kid's getting the.
Boy got older. Yeah, I think we're all right. In the beginning, you had a thing and there are polar bears and shit running around, although we do know that was because the darm initiative. All that to say is Harold Paranno like pulled up to the writers show runners and was basically like, yo, what's going on? Like my character barely gives a fuck about his own son. And he told him, quote, I don't think I can do that. This is just furthering the narrative that nobody cares about
black boys, even black fathers. Yeah, and you know when this.
Is the reason why he said, I don't have to be the first I don't have to have the most episodes, but I'd like to be in the mix. But it seems like this is now a story about Jack and Cad and swear right. And then they were like, oh, you're no longer on the show.
Yeah. And when that happened, apparently he was told Carlton Q told him quote, well, you said to us, if you don't have anything good for you, you want to go. You said you don't have enough work here, so dude, we're letting you go. And then in this book, like there's also saying that Lindeloff also said quote he called me racist, so I fired his ass.
Wow, yeah, cool man.
I mean like now he's like trying to be like, Yo, that was a l like when I was running that room, Like Lindeloff doesn't deny it, but god, I mean, why am I surprised? Like this is this is this is such the norm in Hollywood, especially when you have these like rooms too, where like Lindeloff himself is like, Yeah, I figured if I had like one person that wasn't like a white guy or something, it would be good.
But I didn't realize how terrible it would be for this black woman to be in a writer's room when we're talking about like these like graphic lynching, lynching scenes that won't make it into the show, right Jesus.
All right, those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, May thirty. First, we're back tomorrow in June with a whole 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,
