I'm not good. Like that scene where the when like she comes into their hotel room, like obviously when I was saying light three way part yea like her magic team, but we were just like looking at each other. We're like, they're like yo, they're they're somehow pulling off this like wild version of like young adult horniness that I don't know, Like it was captured in a way that I had not I had not previously seen.
So yeah, their Dynamico Friends Challengers good. I would say, like, I like overall like it.
It didn't.
I wasn't like sitting there like, damn, this is one of my favorite movies, but it sticks with you and like the music is so dope. And my wife did you know? I had to tell her at the beginning, you know, take a page out of my boy zazz Is. I was like, look, if we're gonna do this, I said this loud to everyone in the theater. I said, if we're gonna do everybody, we're not. We're just staring
straight ahead at the screen. We're not looking at each other, and you're not looking at my direction, even if I'm making some weird sounds.
The thing though, that was kind of wild though too is like it sort of like what that f one Netflix show did for formula one. I feel like this could do like it helped tennis be like sort of capture the intensity of tennis in a way that didn't feel like, Hello, Buffy, let's go for a round tennis, you know what I mean? It felt like a little bit more like Yo, this shit is fucking wild.
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of.
It's a production of My Heart Radio. I am Jack. That is miles over there, yeah over here.
That's see episode where we tell you what was trying to go for the weekend, what's trending this morning? First we tell you what's trending in our hearts. We get to know you a little bit better by doing our own little underrated overrated? So should we kick it off? Underrated?
I got a bit of a grab bag.
Grabag garbage as the French don't call it. So first, my kid went to a fire station field trip and came home talking about the power scissors that they have there, and I got to be like, I got to be like, I know, you think that name power scissors is pretty cool. Do you want to know what that product?
Is actually really your kid after a.
Fight called the Jaws of Life, and we just both kind of sat there in odd silence, like they absolutely did not have to go that hard on that name. Yeah, they did, and you know, the world is a more poetic place because of it.
They did. They like demo it in front of the kids.
Now, they just like showed them and explained it, and they also showed them that he was like, they have a new jigsaw for cutting through the roof of a burning building.
Yeah.
Is there been a horror movie where someone gets cut in half by the jaws of Life? I feel like Jaws of Life would be a good Jason kill.
You know, I don't know, I mean, are there technically blades on it? Like I guess there's a blade attached because other parts it's like it goes in and just separates so it can kind of open up a roof.
So yeah, there's multiple products that are like hydraulic. There's hydraulic spreaders, there's hydraulic punchers, and then there's the hydraulic scissors.
So that's all underneath the umbrella of Jaws of Life. Basically, these hydraulic tools. People.
The guy who coined the phrase jaws of life, like has one that's like an all in one Swiss army knife of.
Jaws of life. But you take the good, you take the bad, you take the bolt, and then you have the.
Jaws of life, the jaws of life. I wish that had like made that a consumer product, like trying to everybody needs some jaws of life and they're back in the trunk of their car. You need a jack in case you have a flat tire and come.
On the hit show that premiered in nineteen seventy nine.
The.
But Yeah, I don't know there, Like I couldn't. I tried to dig into like who named it, and it was like one of the innovators, the guy who like has the all in one thing. He named it years after it was first invented for like race cars, which makes sense because like race cars is like a spectator sport where like thousands of people had to sit around and watch someone watch them fail to cut someone out of a burning.
Car, you know.
Yeah, and the first yeah, so George Hurst was the first guy, and then the guy who came up with it was someone like ten years later who was working working with it.
But Mike Rick, Mike brick, George Hurst brick, right, Mike Brick bricks.
But I don't know, it's just there's something that sings in a man's soul when watching a product that can cut the entire top of a car off in two minutes, like a fucking can opener. And they were just like, we're going we're going big with the title of this.
Yeah, honestly, shower scissors. Power scissors is good. That got a reaction out of me too, to be honest. Yeah, like power scissors.
Yeah, if you want to name your band that you have to pay my six year old residuals.
Yeah. Yeah, that is a pretty that would be like a pretty dope like punk band. Yeah yeah, yeah, like all female punk band or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My other was just the original Shrek. Like, watched the Original Shrek with my family and a friend this weekend, and there's just like some good jokes and solids. Yeah, like really, like there's one joke. I'm not gonna sit here and like describe Shrek jokes to you or like, but like the one with Princess Fiona singing with the bird like snow white and then the bird explodes and she like there there's eggs in the nest, you know.
Right, yeah, just I mean, I vision no, I actually, I don't know. I don't know what it's.
It's just a solid joke that just destroyed with ages six to forty three in the room. And I think I just associated that movie with smash Mouth, like yeah that, like the whole thing is just and every time they're cut to a new scene, I would be like some but and yeah, it was really annoying my kids.
Yeah yeah, yeah, no, no, no, that's the next one.
Oh but all right, yeah there and then so we started trek to last night and uh sucked ship. Yeah terrible, it's really not good. Yeah, well, well we'll get to it. But I got yeah, all right, But Miles, what is something you think is underrated?
Underrated? After exchanging messages with a lot of listeners and talking about what's happening in Gaza, I just think it's the myriad of ways to help the people of Gaza
is actually quite underrated. And I know, you know, while we talk a lot on the show about sort of you know, trying to end the military hostilities and that being key, there are still you know, obviously, the people are in need of medications you know, medical supplies, all these other things, and I just wanted to take the time to share some of these resources for people that want to help, because they're obviously like many large aid organizations that are doing good work and helping people, but
there's also smaller operations that are trying to just amplify the voices of like Palestinian families and their specific requests
for aid. Like right, you know, when the RAFA crossing was a little functioning a little bit you know better at all, you know, there were people obviously raising money to cross through, and they would they would have to be paying like exorbitant amounts like you know, like five to ten thousand per adult, twenty five hundred per child, and can take one piece of luggage just to get out of Gaza, and you know, while and they're like a lot of these groups are tapped into a lot
of these like familial networks. There are many Palestinians in America who are you know, just engaging their own networks to find and amplify these voices of people that are in need. And a lot of these you know, some of these campaign it's really fucking hard. They're like run by fucking kids, man like they they are their own like fight last financial recourse to get out of this situation.
So I'm just well, we're gonna link to some different organizations in the footnotes just so you know, that way you can actually you can see like there are like all these different families that need have all kinds of
specific needs. Are also organizations that are focused on like you know, perinatal care and things like that, because obviously with you know the amount of small children that are there, babies and things like that, they also have very specific medical needs too outside of just food, shelter and things
like that. So, uh, just gonna list those resources because I know obviously a lot of the news right now is about the ICC and they're looking to issue warrants for Israeli leaders and leaders of Hamas, and you know there's just the obviously the humanitarian situation is not improving.
So I figured it'd be good good time just to connect people with additional resources so you can help people in a very direct way, because yeah, it's something that's very needed, and I know there are many people who are feeling like they want to do something more aside from advocating for ceasefire and things like that, so we will have those in the footnotes.
Yeah, you know, we we've covered the news for seven going on eight years on this show, and the one kind of recurring theme that always makes me feel like slightly better and more optimistic is just how people on a person a person basis respond to disaster and tragedy and just impossible situations. And like that's the thing you see over and over again, like going back through history and just people's ability to you know, use their networks of friends and families and community.
Yeah, because it's one thing. Yeah, the Red Cross or other organizations are like, you know, barely do like the real work that helps people on the ground. But yeah, like to your point, when it's when it's really connecting with people directly, it has such a different effect. Yeah.
Yeah, there's just like something naturally when it's a a person a person basically, like you hear this from people who are like have uh you know in the wildfires, we can't we ran into it, and just a bunch of stories where like you know, communities break down all.
Of the laws.
You know, in movies when this happens, it turns into a lawless society, and in reality, when it happens everybody kind of like works together.
And yeah, and not only that, I mean like it's a tremendous morale boost for the people there to really understand that there are people outside of those borders that are focused on their well being and want to help, because I mean even like, I mean, I got so emotional just looking at the reaction from some of the people in Gaza when all the student encampments went up, the belief that they are feeling because they could see that,
you know, people were rallying behind them. So anyway, this is just a very just a good opportunity again to remind people that there are these resources out there that can that can help tremendously and do a lot of good.
Well, uh, great, underrated Miles And for my overrated, I'm gonna take it back to Shrek.
Definitely keep it within the spirit of the show.
Obviously, yes, obviously got to go back to Shrek on this one. But for my overrated, I guess just the animation in the original Trek and Toy story, Like, I don't know, have you got back and watched the original Toy story? Yeah, origin yo, it looks like did you watch Jerry Duty The TV show.
Oh oh, I was gonna be like the poly Shore movie. Yeah, yeah, did you and low Bros. The Army.
Now it's just my brain's malfunctioning. No, like the jury Duty jokey, like the defense attorney, Like does that re enact that video that looks like a glitching video game?
Like I kept feeling like.
Oh shit, like it's just the human faces.
They were not up to human faces.
Yeah, and so it with Trek, it's just wild because like Princess Fiona, Cameron Diaz's character is like a main character. She's all over the place and she just looks crazy. Yeah, just such a wild I don't know. It's like why did my kids were like why does she look like that? With toy story, it's like Sid is the human that you see the most, and Sid looks truly just like
gont Doll. Yeah, a haunted dog exactly. But I don't know, And it made me wonder like did they put extra effort into the writing because they realized.
It looked it looked so bad?
Because then by the time Shrek two comes around, they've like kind of figured it out and it look like orders of magnitude better than the first one. But like the jokes are terrible, right. I don't know if it's because like Mike Myers is like falling off at that point or what it is, but oh my.
God, yeah, I mean it was just such a not not that the bar was low, it's just an emerging technology form of animation. And at the time we're like, this shit is fucking amazactly, and then when you progress along with it, you never you know, it's like so many movies. You look back at the effects, you're like, what, I used to think this shit was cool? Right, Although that's why I give it up to the first Jurassic
Park being out in nineteen ninety three. I mean, like, yeah, there are parts obviously like.
Seven years after the original Jurassic Park, and it looks like shit.
I know, I know, I know.
But anyways, also U phones for people with add I went to check the weather today when getting my kids ready for school, Like you know, I have to pick out their outfits and figure out who they wear shorts or pants, and like five minutes later, I'm just sitting in their closet watching a video of like people getting swept away by a flash flood. Because that's what's on the homepage of like the Weather Channel app.
Why are you using the Weather Channel app? Because it now I'm like, wait, hold on bro, all right, yeah, so like it used to be.
I I was like, it has more information than the regular weather app and so and then it kept the regular weather app kept popping up whenever I would do it, so I deleted it from my phone and now I don't know, I just need to go back to that one, because yeah, the weather the weather.
Channel app sucks.
Shit. It used to be better and now it's like got pop ups and ship That's.
Why I just have the I just have like on my home screen. I just keep the little widget right there so then I can click that boom it brings it up, and then you got you have an hour by hour. Shit. I don't don't know what the weather Channel app that would have more than the native one.
Yeah Apple, but anyway, yeah, but you can watch like I don't want to watch that patterns coming in and shit. And then you can also watch giant tornadoes.
Right take people away. And you can also watch the new trailer for Twisters Twisters, which is a big dodge ram ad Yeah.
Before Challengers that came on and my wife was like Oh my god, that looks so bad. I was like, yes, yes, bad, right, I have in no way, uh.
Like, I was in no way about to be like.
Holy shit, that looks awesome, babe, Baby fucking Twisters is bad.
Did you see there's an ascid at the end of the title that there's more than one. The trucks look so much better in this one. Oh my god, do you think there's gonna be a new Dorothy?
Oh?
I can't even wait to see what that technology looks like.
I do wonder, like have I wonder people with add have just gotten like way less effective since like smartphones became just the like a lens that we all used through through which we like interacted with the world.
Yeah.
I mean I feel like it just makes time disappear for me occasionally, especially if I'm like tired, you know, oh yeah.
Yeah, to the time travel I do like in my Twilight, I'll be like looking at TikTok and then like her magic. He's like, well you need to you're literally holding a phone with your eyes closed. Yeah, And I'm like.
If you have fallen asleep with your phone clenched in your hand the bed.
All the time, all the time, and I feel like such shit when that happens. Yeah, that's why I like, now I'm really trying to do that shit where it's like, dude, when you get in that bed, just be there to be in that bed. It's like, stop doing the fucking wind down. Yeah. Anyway, anyways, overrated for me, traditional orchestral scoring, say, I say it's just a bit overrated, not to say that it's like useless, but I think, look, I just
watched Challengers. Oh oh yeah, like using an orchestra, you know, to like strings and like a full orchestra. Yeah, Like, after watching Challengers, I'm reminded how exciting film scores can be when it's like it isn't just a conductor with an orchestra behind them, Like this shit is so traditional, and I get it, like it it's this, this is We've brought this into the entire age of cinema. Like
that's why. Obviously, like it works so well and it's definitely given us some of our most memorable works of music, but it's limited in its sonic palette. And as someone who really loves music, I'm like, I'm just reminded how powerful music is. And when you couple that with the moving image. It takes things to a completely different level. And I just think limiting ourselves, Like we're limiting ourselves when we don't consider like all the ways we make
music and the genres that are music. And obviously Trent Reznor and Aticus Ross aren't the first to use like synthesizers and a score, but like what the score did in Challengers really helped just take things, just gave it such a different texture in a different sense of like tension and excitement and competition that I don't just don't think like a traditional like string arrangement would have done.
And you know, I think as we move along like this path of like musical history, like more people are used to hearing instruments other than the traditional orchestral ones, Like I understand one hundred years ago, those are the fucking instruments we had, but we have so many new genres and ways of looking at music. Like think about how like Quincy Jones and Isaac Hayes changed the game even with their scores by like like leaning into their unique styles like jazz, funk and things like that and
like soul. And so this is reminded me like I used to do this thing in college where I would get super high and just audition different albums underneath movies because like once you heard about like the Dark Side of the Moon with the Wizard of Oz thing right, Yeah, But like I remember, like I had a teacher a
professor in college like talk about that earnestly. I was like, oh shit, I'm gonna I sort of went on this like quest to be like I'm going to figure out the new Dark Side of the Moon over the Wizard of Did you think you find? I mean, look, I would. There was a lot of hits and misses, like sometimes shit would overlay perfectly and other times, like an album was just kind of go completely out of sync with
like a film and weird moments. What is one combo that worked really well was watching Star Wars a New Hope with Radioheads kid a Wow, and that one was like there were Thompson was like, yo, bro, look at this shit. So that's cool.
Yeah I can see that because yeah, there's something it's such a specific genre of music that like the film scores are like yeah, I mean it's amazing, Like there are definitely people working in that field to do like amazing things for sure, But like it does feel like there's a way to open things up a little more. And I got that impression both from watching Challengers and also, uh have you so Shrek has like needle drops, bro, that are somebody one.
I've never heard anything quite like this. It was it was pushing. The paradigm has been shifted. I will also have.
This needle drop where it's like when they're going on the journey to save the Princess and they're like walking a long distance and they needle drop a proclaimer's song, but it's not I would walk five hundred.
Miles, but it like you got another song.
It's so close that it's like you know that it's the people who sang that.
So like that's a question. I actually am talking down a swampy road exactly. Yeah, I'm walking straight.
Like did the filmmakers want me to ask if they had the budget for file I would walk five hundred miles. Did they want to pose that question in the viewer's mind.
Yeah.
Also, it's entirely possible that was the original needle drop and they just like couldn't get it for Amazon Prime.
I don't know, they just changed. I would walk for a long while and it would walk much longer. Yes, yeah, but anyway, I just I was just thinking of, like, yeah, like the Watchman, that's a Trent reznor Aticus Ross joint. Like if the HBO Watchman series had like traditional orchestral into the entire time, I don't know if that shit would have hit his hard either. I'm just saying sound you know how much I love the social network. Yeah, yeah, exactly, and that even has like a little bit of.
Yeah, like yo, I feel bad about everything right now. This guy just got dumped in a Harvard bar I don't give a fuck. But it's all right there. Everything was about to go wrong with our world anyway, is let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about Rudy Giuliani. He back, and we're back. We're back, and rue Giuliani just had a big eightieth birthday party in Florida.
So that's that story. Moving on.
Nope, Actually something something happened. So he was posting videos or pictures from his birthday party, taunting Arizona authorities about how they couldn't find him, Like he was like, if Arizona authorities can't find me by tomorrow morning, one, they must dismiss the indictments too.
They must concede they can't count votes.
And he's like smiling with like a bunch of women around him, and the Arizona Attorney General's office showed up at his party. Yeah, you gift him him his indictment. Yeah, in the false electors.
Poor guy. He did a live stream and everything, and he thought he knew how to avoid the long arm of the law. But it's funny because online this story kind of took like a turn about a turn. There was like a bit of misinformation at first, like people were circling like a person at the party who was like singing happy birthday to him. They're like, that's the fucking process server, he's fucking singing. And it turned out that was just a lie.
I heard they popped out of the cake as a topless dancer. But then she handed him the papers.
Yeah, but then it turned out they were just waiting outside the party and like, hi, Rudy here and he's like, yeah, aah, you got me.
Sorry, I gotta go delete something from my uh Twitter, from.
My brain, from my memory.
But yeah, the suit alleges he quote pressured officials into altering the twenty twenty election results, because of course he did. I feel like we've all seen him do that in speeches publicly. Yeah, but they didn't do this just to be assholes. They've had a hard time finding him. He's been hiding out, and I mean, I guess it's easier for him to hide out because his only job right now is basically the internet sweatiest YouTuber. Wow, he's just yeah,
he's a sweating on YouTube for a living. So it's like it's not like he has to be in court or like at a job, so you can just kind of float around.
I mean, I want for someone who's been like acting like what's that Fossbender film, mister Policeman. Oh yeah, like the Snowman can like doing shit like that. This guy he had his eightieth birthday like a prominent Florida Republican like operatives house right like to the point where like people got their hands on the invitation. So this shit was not like not kept low enough for somebody who's trying to act like you know, gop bin laden and trying to be like try and find me, even your
little vaccine program scam, get me there. You cannot find my DNA.
Man, the gop ben Lauden.
You know exactly, that's what I've been saying. You know, it's true, been true. But yeah, I love that.
He was like, they mustn't dismiss the indictment, saying the landmark legal case of Hyder's v. Seekers in the matter of Nana no booboo ah.
No no no no boo boo. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, of course, yes, I remember very well. I think the war in court heard that case. R yes.
In the world of Donald Trump, he showed up at the NRA's Angle meeting to accept their endorsement and give a keynote speech, and it was pretty unhinged.
Oh yeah, it had it all. It literally, this only had it all. I'm sorry, wh'res stuff on.
Exactly? He floated. You know, he's aid, you know, FDR sixteen years, almost sixteen years, his four terms. I don't know, are we going to be considered three term or two terms? I don't know which. Yeah, I mean, I like it's unclear textually what he's saying, but I think, like we all know, he would run if youre not leaving.
Yeah, I'm not. It's not even a term, it's not even two terms. He's basically I know in his mind he this is I mean, if their fantasy world comes to fruition, it would him just be like refusing to ever like go of power, and then that's just what it would be. Yeah, I don't know. That's where I'm like, can't they, like the big business people do something. Aren't they usually good at like snubbing people out, like why're
fucking up the money? But I don't know. Anyway, November, take a time, Take your time, Take your time.
He suggested they have drug tests before the debate because Biden was high as a kite during the State of the Union addressed the other day that.
Was in March. That's like a straight out of my mom's handbook. The other day is anywhere from yesterday to seventeen years ago. Okay, but the fucking it's it's that brain pause that I think everyone was like, oh, what is happening here? My lord?
Yeah?
Here, my lord?
He went John Cage on their ass and just did thirty three whole seconds of silence in the middle of his speech.
Yeah it's now. I'll just I'll positive people have probably seen this clip or maybe heard it, but just so you know, just so you can have this in your mind. The campaign says. It was actually like a sick ass dramatic pause. He was doing but here you you, you here for yourself, nation and the history of the world. She's just looking.
He opens his mouth to say something, closes it again, shaking his head, shaking his head, looking at the teleprompter, making a whistling thing, looking at the telephone.
Looking around the room where am I where.
Again, closes his mouth, not really moving.
Now He's like, uh shit, I looked at that stage left, looks off like as if you said someone called his name, and he's trying.
To get hum but he's oh, and we're back and were back online and okay, okay, dad, whatever you say that that was no brain fart or whatever that is.
And so the music, yeah, we should mentioninic. Brian the editor was like, is the music diegetic or does somebody add that? No? That, So his campaign started playing a QAnon anthem. It's this instrumental piece called Mirrors, which got posted by a QAnon person with a video and then everybody became like a meme song within the world of QAnon, used without the right to use it by the QAnon people and by Donald Trump. But so he just I don't know if he was like distracted by the music
or I don't know. Based on the video, it also seems like maybe he's just like feeling himself so much that he can like stop in the middle of the speech and let the music ride.
A little bit. Yeah, He's like, this is very standard in all my speeches. Uh, okay, I mean, like.
Your little nap in the middle of my speech. Either way, they're three hours, folks, What am I going to do?
Both both candidates are failing to impress right now? What are you talking about? No, they're great. Yeah, I mean I mean that Biden gave the commencement speech at Morehouse and like a bunch of the students turn their chairs around in protest. Oh, Dennis, Yeah, yeah, yeah, And he was and he was like when the valedictorian called for a ceasefire, Biden seemingly seemed to applaud, like applaud that moment. Oh,
and then he's like, I hear you, folks. He's like, I'm telling you, I'm working around the clock, you know, like your peaceful protests deserve to be heard, unless it's an encampment anyway. Piece Full is a sliding scale depending on the mood of the be.
Careful about the encampments with those professional terrorist bike chains, because yeah, exactly.
Yeah, damn Kryptonite man. They could kill Superman these bike locks.
Also, in the world of Trump, were still getting clarifications around crowd size.
Dude.
Yeah, So last week on the Weekend Trending episode, we talked about how Trump was talking all that shit in New Jersey on the god Bruce Springsteen and he and officials in Wildwood, New Jersey were claiming between eighty and one hundred thousand people, and we were, I mean, obviously everyone was dubious.
Immediately, even Fox was like, at best, maybe thirty thousand at best. Well, most people that have brains and a memory looked at the images and had seen more people basically in line for a Black Friday doorbuster sale. Journalists kept pressing Wildwood officials about how how the fuck they got this number, and just let me just read these
quotes from you. This is from the New Jersey Insider quote Wildwood officials, who are the source for the Associated presses reporting that former President Trump drew between eighty thousand and one hundred thousand to a beach front weekend rally. Now say it was not the number on the beach at the rally per se, but rather it was the number of people quote in our town end quote.
Huh so the just our entire population.
That's like eighty thousand people in town. I don't know for the rally. I don't know of that part, but that's how this goes on. Quote. This is from one of the spokes people, Wildwood. Quote. As a tourist town, we speak in tourism numbers. When we see that that volume of people attending a beach event, we know that
eighty plus thousand people are in our town. So we see a quarter of a million visitors every weekend in the summer on our one point eight nine mile boardwalk, not to mention our five mile island, So we know that volume. What that volume looks like. They were watching and listening from the beach and boardwalk, in bars and rest at hotels and second homes and even streets parade style. We defer to the Trump campaign for the exact count on the beach. Hot Potato, Yeah, yeah, I did that ship.
I can't believe they really said, yeah, man, if you were just even if the people who were driving through in their cars on the interstate, people.
Driving through who rolled down their window, possibly to smell the Saltaire, possibly because they wanted to get a better earshot of Yeah.
Or maybe someone farted in the car. Yeah, that counts. That counts because they were near Wildwood when Trump was there, Therefore they attended.
Yeah. Anyways, congratulations to the Jersey Shore. And I so a lot of times I will say and this is not the part of the Jersey Shore that I go to. This is the part of the Jersey Shore that I coach. This is like right next to Ocean City, just a couple islands over, And it's basically that they have like a lot of the same pizza places.
We like, sort of like cut and print, sort of like copy and paste sort of vibe.
Ocean City is a little different because it's like a dry town, so it has more of like children's feel to it, except at night when people go bonkers and it's the leading drunk driving city in America. But yeah, also we skipped past the part where he Trump stops during a speech and just plays a QAnon song for like over his speech, which like that was the thing he started doing fairly recently.
To rally them.
Yeah, it's very strange, but I guess just a testament to like how authoritarians and like how this like sort of creep works where like something starts out and it's like that is so strange. And then like three he does this three more times and we're just like yeah. And then so he starts playing a music during his speech that is a song favored by a weird cult that wants Trump to kill their enemies.
Yeah, it's called coalition building. Yeah, that's what we do, you know what I mean, just letting people know where we're at, you know, just like how they play they not like us, not like us at the rally, just to let you know that Trump's on the on the Kendrick side of things.
That's right. All right, let's take a quick break. We want we're going to come back and talk about Harrison Buckkerr, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker who quote Tommy boy, that's one apple that fell very far from the tree I think or something you know in that in that family. And we're back.
We're we're back.
And so last week you may have seen that can the City Chiefs kicker, Harrison Butker gave a commencement speech Butker Kicker Butker gave a commencement speech to the conservative Catholic school Benedictine College, where he called Pride Month a deadly sin, criticized the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion, and suggested that women will find quote more fulfillment through getting married and having children than by pursuing careers.
Mm hm, great culture war moment because everybody came out, whether it's to defend or be like, what the fuck is this for? Wasn't it The wife of the owner of the Chiefs is like, I agree? Oh really I think so? Yeah? He I mean he had some interesting allies that popped out after this controversy.
Yeah, so people who seem to not ally themselves with his point of view. The NFL is now distancing themselves from Butker, Which how big of a piece of shit do you have to be for the ethical dumpster fire that is the NFL to be like, oh hey man.
We're good over here.
And there's been a lot of people, just a lot of discourse online, even condemned by a group of nuns who are a founding institution and sponsor of Benedictine College.
The nuns pulled up.
Yeah, so yeah, two conservative for the Catholic Church is pretty wild.
That's wild. Yeah, but so.
One outlet also reported that Bucker's mom is an accomplished physicist who works in the field of radiation oncology. And we have so that was from page six. So I had to get secondary confirmation and got it from the only reliable source on the internet, Snopes, who found Elizabeth Butker is a medical physicist at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute.
In a January twenty twenty article on Emory's Way web site, Harrison Bucker is pictured with his mother and it's like this, you know, workplace email where they're like Winship medical physicist Elizabeth Keller Butker has a special reason to watch the Super Bowl This year. Her son, Harrison Butker, a record setting field goal kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, will go head to head with the San Francisco forty nine ers in the sports event of the year, Super Bowl whatever that number is.
Fifty four super Bowl Live Live, they live Kyler, Yeah, but he didn't go there.
I'm not sure why they went with him, as the is the commencement speaker, but.
They I don't know. I mean, is the school in Missouri?
Yeah, maybe Kansas. It's in Kansas, right, so.
Yeah, I don't know a local guy.
Kansas City is not even in Kansas, so right, it's close, it's close, it's close. It has Kansas in the name.
Look, do you hate diversity, equity and inclusion, then you can speak at Benedictine College. That's the only thing we needed. And plus you got a few followers on Twitter. We'll take that. We'll take that.
But like the nuns who like helped found the institution said, we sisters have dedicated our lives to God and God's people, including many women whom we have taught and influenced during the past one hundred and sixty years. So it's like, yeah, the women aren't just sent to go home.
Yeah, I like the quotes. One of our concerns was the assertion that being a homemaker is the highest calling for a woman, right, yeah, yeah, the nuns, the nuns, nuns, yeah are even come on, Bud Kerr. But I don't know, just a.
When I saw his comments, I assumed he was like homeschooled in some like McMansion with survivalist parents, but he's just like this is all willfully Like I don't know the exact details, but it's giving. Like you know when you see Iran before the revolution and everyone's like wearing you know, all the women are like dressed professionally on their way to work, Like that's a picture of this guy's family tree if he had it his way, Like
what what do you mean? Well, like his mom is like this amazing professional and he's like, no, you're saying he wants He's saying the world now is like fighting.
Yeah, He's like I don't. He wants to see a world where it's all all traditional roles forever. Bloody sure. I mean like this guy is such a fucking loser. True, it's like wow too, Like yeah, even like the other students are like, I like, even though people were cheering, they're like a couple of students Like some obviously applauded that ship. There are other people that were just mortified that whole time. Yeah, anyway way to go.
Butcker, I wonder if it's like that his mom is so impressive that he's.
Oh he's like piped down ladies.
Yeah, Like the way that Tucker Carlson is like motivated by his mom doing something awesome in his mom. In Tucker Carlson's mom case, it's leaving Tucker Carlson to go fuck people in France. But in this case, it's like Harrison Butker is emasculated by his mom being an amazing uh. And it's like he's like a noncologist, yeah, physicist and oncologists. It's like helping people with cancer.
Yeah, well, I kick a fucking ball, mom.
It's also like, I do wonder is field goal kicker one of those things where like complexity of thought could actually be damaging when all you need to do is make the ball go through big yellow y.
Yeah. Yeah, huh maybe, I mean yeah, I don't know. I just hopefully is he Is he good? Like he's pretty good. Yeah, he's on a super Bowl winning multiple super Bowl winning teams, so these that's probably one of the saying You're like, yeah, man, Butker is kind of a fucking goon. But yeah, the boy can kick that leg, that leg kick hard. Yeah.
The only person defending him is Bill Maher.
All right, right's out of history. You're on the right side, buddy. Never mind, I take it all back.
Yeah, says he's confused. Why anybody would take issue with the speech.
Did you see that clip? But when Bill Burr went on, yeah, and he's like, what the fuck are you talking about? You don't know ship, you don't know anything. You're a fucking expert.
Yeah, I'm with the kids. That's childish, Bill, it's childish. You actually don't me. I talk to a lot of people who know a lot of every day, a lot a lot of people.
Bill so incensed by Bill Myerson. Nonsense.
You had a cool heavy metal T shirt and black plays are on so cool?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's all right.
An Iranian president Ibrahim Reisi died in a helicopter crash.
Yeah, that's what it. From the beginning, when I saw that, I was like, oh because after the was it? The PM of Slovakia was like shot. I'm like, we're getting like World War three vibes like all over the place right now, Like what's going on? But it seems like at first, Oh, there was a lot of you know, a lot of like people are like, what exactly has happened? Was there some kind of is this some sort of uh,
what's the word I'm looking for? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, but the assassination yeah yeah, yeah, or just yeah, some kind of cover something was being done. Was there some some foolery going on it? But it turns out, I mean, at least according to what's coming out of like the Iran too there and officials there is like very just
super fucking foggy and the weather was terrible. So I don't know, I mean it's said, I mean, it's like a lot of people are comparing it to like what happened with Kobe Bryant's helicopter going down to They're just like they can.
It's sort of reminded me of because that's the last helicopter crash that I was, you know, paying attention to.
There was also something with like an official in Ukraine like recently too had like a helicopter crash too. I think due to like inclement weather just goes to show you, yeah, that's very don't I guess, don't try and fucking fly a helicopter in the fog. But also I think the helicopter that they were in was very very old, forty five year old helicopter. Yeah. And because of all the sanctions, yeah, yeah.
Thanks to the sanctions that have frozen out their economy, their president has to like fly around in an old helicopter. But yeah, I mean, he k had been dubbed the Butcher of Tehran long before becoming president and was most mostly noted for brutally cracking down on protesters in protests that we talked about, where over five hundred people were killed. So some Iranians are celebrating the news his disappearance, although reports that people were setting off fireworks and tarron have
not been confirmed. But yeah, people are suspicious about the crash.
Yeah, a lot of intrigue. Yeah, and also like there's also internal things too, because this guy seemed to be like the person that would succeed the Ayatola, the supreme leader. Yeah yeah, so yeah, just just more wrinkles in our geopolitical landscape at the moment.
All right, did he issue an apology over the weekend for abuse now that he's been caught on tape? Like the weekend started with him being like, that's it, I'm no longer taking this city lying down, like these false accusations. I'm going to fight them, like just wait, and then you know, a video was released hours later and he was like, Okay, look, I'm sorry, these allegations are not false, and I think responsibility.
Yeah, CNN aired this hotel footage from LA where he is seen just just horrifically like physically assaulting Cassie, he was his then girlfriend. And yeah, I mean this apology video was fucking awful. Like, I don't know who the fuck tells these people to do these fucking videos, especially too, because the motherfuckers are never sorry, no in the apology videos. They're just like, okay, I have to just do the things that you do in the apology video. Yeah.
So now he's apparently disgusted by the behavior, whereas before he and his lawyer called the allegations baseless and outrageous lies aiming to tarnish mister Combs's reputation and seeking a payday. But he did check all the celebrity apology video boxes looking.
Step one, don't first of all, Step one, don't actually be sorry.
Don't be sorry, ye, Step two rustic wooden background of some sort. Step three be like waking up from a long nap like they was, or I'm thinking Ashton Kutcher here and step forward just like a ratty T shirt to remind everyone that you're just a regular person.
Yeah, it's just I mean, like it's all of these allegations that have come out are fucking frightening. It's wild though too. Like the video is now, people are like, oh, okay, this guy's cooked. It's on video. It's on video now, so that's right. So yeah, we will see what happens there. I mean, like as of now, I don't I don't know how many people have like severed ties since like the initial stuff had come out, but surely have a reason now to do nothing, have nothing to do with this man.
Yeah, And then a quick update on Megalapolis.
We got to see this ship. I know it might be so bad. It's good.
Francis word Coupla's long awaited film that he like sold off part of his winery to finance, you know, sunk one hundred million dollars I think of his own money into the making of the movie. And you know, stories from the set include him like spending all day smoking weed in his trailer while everybody, well like the crew, cast and crew just like wait ready to shoot, and then you'd like come out and be like, ah, scrap it all.
I got a whole new idea that like would be all right, this character is actually gonna die now in this actually I just think I think that'll be more cool.
Well yeah, yeah, but the so it premiered at con, uh elicited a mix of booze and cheers, which is kind of what I was hoping for. Yeah, like booze and cheers. But the moment everyone's been talking about, and I guess this is a.
Spoiler, but spoiler alert if you really don't want the Megalopolis experience to be spoiled. And I say experience because it's not necessary, just the plot.
But yeah, about midway through the movie, an actor from the audience, so the movie cuts to like a black screen, someone walks up onto a stage in front of the movie screen and then for a moment, like everybody's like, what the fuck's happening? Does that person have a bomb?
What is going on?
And then but instead the person takes out a mic from and UH plays the role of a reporter asking Adam Driver's character questions at a press conference following a major disaster, and Driver, of course is his characters on the screen, and he like answers the question, and then the guy just like goes back and says back down, and everyone's like what tech? I thought, Yo, what if.
Someone from the audience came up and then interacted with the dude on screen.
But what if the audience talked back to Ferris Bueller when he talked to audience.
It's like a choose your own adventure and based on the cheers, we can, we can, we can switch out the tapes for what happens next.
What what you're describing is fucking impossible. No, yeah, this does feel like Brian editor is pointing out, like a good like midnight movie type deal. Oh yeah, like the Room if the was made by friends. Ford Coppola, one of the French distributors, said that they're actually going to try and make this gimmick happen by employing an actor for every screening, even though it quote will not be easy.
Yeah, I mean in La you will not have trouble. People would be fucking busting down the door to play the audience journalist character. Yeah, I'm in Megalopolis. Oh really?
Yeah? Yeah, I have been Frank that you prince for uh Franky?
Yeah, oh you're so what senior? I mean? Okay, well are you in the credits?
Well?
Did you see the nine to forty five PM showing on July eighteenth at the AMC Burbank sixteen of Megalapolis, because I was the guy who.
Emerged from the audience and then asked Adam Driver thing and then went back to his seat after everyone started throwing drinks at me. That was me.
Or you'll just be like the sixteen year old working the snack bar at the AMC. We'll have to like pop in oh, just like three the motions.
Yeah, mister driver, do you think, mister president, you think there's I mean, it would be so funny too, like someone's so high at their job and they fuck because obviously, like the timing has to be right or else the shit will look so yanky.
Yeah, and then like I'm I don't know. I mean, this feels like it's ripe for trolling too, for someone who's working there to be like, hey, Adam Driver, like fuck you, what do you think about that? Very good question when you suck my ass? Driver? What do you think about ligma? What lligma balls hold that?
Although I like having been to a lot of theaters where you know, that's the thing that happens that usually non chain theaters like indie theaters, the person the projectionist or you know, somebody worked at the theater will get up and like tell you what.
You're about to watch, like to detail.
They're never like under prepared or under committed to that job like that. It's rarely half asked. They're usually pretty pretty in it to win it. So it's a moment to shine, you know what I mean.
It's like we will be here for the first few moments to ensure the picture and sound quality are up to our standards, and we hope you enjoyed this presentation of Francis Ford Coppola's.
Mega and Now I Am the movies, So.
Here one more time. This is actually part of the movie. Folks. It's me again. Really, I'm going to ask a question. Oh man, yeah, we need we need to see this ship. Yeah, I really do. I knew it's like there was something. It's just so it's just too high concept, like literally
now high concept. Yeah, to be passed up, and especially to know that this guy just dumped all of his own fucking money into a movie that it's I guess it is, like is this the year of people taking big swings with their own money like j Lo Francis Ford Coppola, Yeah, who's an.
Actually being like it's my vision and it's my vision you'll be watching it in museums years from now.
Yeah, I mean one of those, one of those shoot days. I smoked a dad for the first time. I passed out for about forty minutes.
And when show my trailer screen, yeah you can see the day, which day it was on the screen.
It's all out of focus. Be a cool little texture. It's it's bad.
I know you could throw up from smoking weed, but it turns out you can. You can get that a lot.
Yeah.
All right, well those are some of the things that are trending on this Monday morning.
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. No, we will talk to you all tomorrow.
