Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet
Starting point is 00:04:26 and welcome to this week trend edition of Dirt Daily Zeitgeist! It's a production of iHeartRadio. This is the episode where we tell you what is trending, what was trending over the weekend, what's going
Starting point is 00:04:41 on with us. My name is Jack O'Brienrien that is mr miles don't have a way to really start that one off dynamically but i will say oh again i know the people who want to go on discord hit me up again i like to only i don't like to put out permanent links because you never know where that shit gets out and then a bunch of weirdo people fucking try and you know fucking hop in the discord hit me up again i will send out discord invites again just dm me at miles of gray discord twitter instagram and i will be sure to get you that because i saw a few people who were like oh shit i didn't use it in time remind
Starting point is 00:05:18 me please got a lot on my plate but i will ah shit um fuck these guys aren't in the server fuck fuck me all right uh well we're gonna talk about some of the things that were happening over the weekend how uh trump's few first few days as a convicted felon went on for him yeah uh and for his his campaign and for those of us who received uh text messages from him yeah oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh personally right yeah personal you gotta help me man yeah you gotta help me have me on that guys have me have me on dz from trump colon is it the formatting is very weird uh we'll talk about that to you colon yes i will give money trump great thank you but first we like to get to know each other a little bit better first we like to get to know each other
Starting point is 00:06:05 a little bit better if you guys get to know us by uh telling you stuff that we think is underrated overrated yeah yeah um yeah miles you want to kick us off with something you think under under underrated under i'll say this um i'm still battling a bit of a i don't think sinus thing infection i don't know it's it's not bad but i feel like i need to go to the doctor but it's bad enough that it's inconveniencing me but anyway that plus a baby going through a massive sleep regression has made me realize how fine the margins are for you know necessary sleep to get through a day i think most of us know that adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Um, but many of us, I think also kind of go by whether or not we're just able
Starting point is 00:06:50 to drag our asses through the day as a metric of whether or not we had enough sleep. It's like, yeah, I, I scraped by, I think that was enough sleep. Um, well, yes, I'm also realizing that while I used to be able to do around seven, around seven hours and be able to function, I really actually need closer to eight. I i'm realizing personally that's kind of my sweet spot like i started shifting my night a little bit to see how much better i felt when i was able to sleep continuously obviously uh screaming baby aside yeah and that seems like the floor for me actually now that i realize and i'm trying to really respect that because it does it makes me a better fucking parent partner podcaster the three p's you know what i mean p cubed and that's what it's all about uh but yeah i think i'm closer to eight and then as i was reading about this shit
Starting point is 00:07:36 they're like stress also like is another factor that's kept me up or not sleeping or waking up in the middle of the night but uh. But there's a study that came out recently that also found that financial stress is one of the biggest indicators for people not getting enough rest. And that makes sense because inequality affects people in every imaginable dimension. But in this analysis, they said that they found that the most underslept people live in low-income rural areas, primarily in the South, like West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama regularly get the least amount of sleep. Um, and it's not cause they don't have like a fucking Tempur-Pedic pillow or some shit. Um, it's just the financial stress. So do you
Starting point is 00:08:17 think in these, like these poverty reports, they sort of overlap with the amount of sleep people get to Boulder, Colorado, the most well-rested city in the united states apparently wow yeah 80 congratulations boulder but yeah i mean we're living in the society that we live in in the united states like financial stress will be almost feel like ambient it's like the water quality for a fish you know yeah you can't turn it off it's the air you breathe literally in a lot of cases depending on how if the epa looks the other way um yeah it's it's but it's wild just how much that like really kind of overlaps in such a direct way yeah so my underrated i was just noticing how effective it is when someone accuses their opposite in an argument or a
Starting point is 00:09:07 conflict of doing the bad thing they're already doing. This is like, we've talked about this a lot, like with regards to Republicans, usually. Yes. Yes. That they will do fascism while screaming about how the world is fascist and
Starting point is 00:09:21 taking away their rights. So I got to view it from an impartial perspective. My wife currently super obsessed with tennis and... Is that pre-challengers? That's pre-challengers, right? She was on that way? Yeah, yeah. Challengers and are just part of the same
Starting point is 00:09:37 kind of gestalt. She's been become super obsessed with tennis over the past year and a half she's listening to a tennis book by a former pro it's called like winning ugly it's about like how to
Starting point is 00:09:52 become good like just using the mental game it's by this guy Brad Gilbert who rose to I think number four in the world in 1990 but is like people would watch and be like but he's not good right like that guy
Starting point is 00:10:07 kind of stinks oh he's just like owning people with his mind yeah well he's just like yeah he really paid attention to the mental side and so he was describing this match where he got owned by Yvonne Lendl you remember him yes and it was just so basically
Starting point is 00:10:23 he was like Lendl was just, so basically he was like, Lendl was like going through a rut or like needed rest. And so he like slowed the game down was just like pretty, like he'd pretend he had like an eyelash coming out of his eye, you know, like just do anything he could to slow shit down. Like tie, untie the dark arts of like fucking with your opponent but then the thing that put it over the top is he kept doing this as this guy's about to serve to him
Starting point is 00:10:51 and then as the guy's about to serve he like spoke to the line judge was like could you tell him to stop delaying like lendl did about him he was like his serve is going he's taking too long with his serve i think it's to like mess me up and it just like totally fucked his opponent up yeah and it just felt i don't know like seeing that uh tactic from like an impartial perspective where it doesn't affect me at all yeah but i was just like god damn this is so effective it's so like i don't know what to do with it and i feel like we don't like we don't have a shorthand for it and i think that's part of the like the way that we had a shorthand for like things trump making things worse and worse and like it like the normalization of it being people were like oh it's the overton
Starting point is 00:11:45 window and then people kind of suddenly knew what that meant right for a while i feel like we need that for this because otherwise it's just like he's doing he's accusing that of doing the thing he's doing which just sounds too much like i know you are but what am i you know isn't that just like kind of isn't that a form of like projection though so yeah the psychological term is projection and i think that has a connotation that's being done inadvertently it is like because that and i think it started from the fact that narcissism is currently like a personality disorder that is like a cheat code for our modern world and narcissists just can't help but project like whatever they're worried about they will accuse the other side of but i i think it under like calling it projection i think
Starting point is 00:12:39 underplays how effective it is right that it's like a really difficult to deal with tactic then that we're going to see from these people right more and more like it like gish gallop uh is something andrew t frequent guests of the show uh talked about is this tactic from debating where you embed like this crazy assumption in your argument that is going to like take too long and too many words for your opponent to deal with and so they have to just like skip over it even though it's like wild but i don't know that it's it's that but it's also there's like a perpendicularity to like the gish gallop thing being the thing that you are doing that is unfair to that person right so i don't know i just feel like we need a phrase not sure it would even help
Starting point is 00:13:33 but like yeah it would just help us like deal with what we're about to what we've been dealing with but you know yeah it's a janky kettle pot dynamics but uh yeah yeah i mean i think yeah that's the is maybe a good like toehold kettle pot lendlism kettle pot lendling engaging in kennel kettle pot lendlism this is kpl to the t this is the textbook definition of kpl uh but i think yeah i think the reason why that's effective not just like in political discourse and in like a tennis match is like that whole thing is about getting your opponent to completely surrender their ability to control themselves because by
Starting point is 00:14:12 putting subjecting them to all this bullshit and then accusing it to them that's such a shorthand to frying someone's outrage circuits to be like are you fucking serious you fucking me yeah I'm fucking wasting time you fuck that. That's where,
Starting point is 00:14:27 you know, you, you can learn something from the great action star, Steven Seagal, Russian hero. Um, just really just keep your shit together. Keep your shit together and use their momentum against them.
Starting point is 00:14:38 But again, when you have like, yeah, uh, media punditry class, that's just more than willing to be like, what the fuck are they talking about? Then, yeah, you win every time.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they go for it every time. Yeah. And so you get to, yeah. The unjust, I mean, he was just convicted, and now. Just, yeah, treat him like your friend who's a full of shit liar. Or not your, I don't know if you're friends with those people, but someone you know where you're like, yeah, all right, just shut right just shut up dude shut up all my friends are narcissistic liars so that's the other all you do i just surround myself with people who are just constantly projecting yeah
Starting point is 00:15:16 yeah tell me about it hey why did you say that and then waggle your eyebrows what uh what's something you think is overrated overrated this kind of goes into the trump shit that's happening right now with the conviction um overrated is the republic should i go first then because mine has absolutely nothing to do with that and that is our first story we can flow right into it yeah go ahead. Flow right in. So mine is... Alright, so a couple questions for you. When you were sick, like nauseous, growing up,
Starting point is 00:15:52 did you have a certain thing that you would put next to your bed? Like in case you couldn't make it to the toilet. Yeah, it would be like a trash can or like a stock pot with a garbage bag in it. Yeah. So we were stock pot with a garbage bag in it. Yeah. So stock,
Starting point is 00:16:06 we were stock pot. yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we also ate popcorn out of a colander. Did that. Which, okay, you did that too?
Starting point is 00:16:13 I did that, yeah. All right. And then this was a weird, like we had a communal sock drawer for the whole family. The fuck is that? The fuck you mean you got a communal sock drawer? Don't you have like three isn't like three
Starting point is 00:16:26 three of you kids yeah there were three kids there were and two adults kept them all in the same thing and you would go and find the one that was the best fit and it was just like an assumption that like it's not gonna be perfect like you're looking for discount dvds in the checkout line at fries or some shit you're like're like, I don't know. I guess Belly for $2. Yeah. Kind of a hit. But I think the Crock-Pot thing, my wife has been like, that's kind of fucked. I don't like the idea that you would throw up in a stock pot.
Starting point is 00:16:58 We didn't grow up putting a bag in it. So there was no separation. See, that's where i think my mom was like do not puke into the pot itself but we will use that as the rigid structure to hold a garbage bag or shopping bag which like it's metal it's gonna wash off but like there is like a mental yeah yeah that happens um you could boil the fuck out of it and there would be no germs but i get the but there's just like something weird so she was like yeah out on that is the universal sock drawer more born out of having so many fucking socks to do that it just like was like i we're not gonna waste our time
Starting point is 00:17:34 with this just fucking laundry sock drawer yeah you guys deal with the sorting of the socks because it's a fucking pain in the ass and also they're like kind of they can be hard difficult to like tell a part like okay this is the dad sock and this is like the kid's sock but like the kid is like white athletic crew socks or something yeah yeah yeah i get that but no we didn't have that did not did you have any familial traditions that like as you became an adult you thought like i'm reminded there's this one story where someone like slept over at a friend's house and at night like that friend's family like all got into lazy boys in a single room and went to sleep like on recliners it was like the weirdest possible version of this you know what i mean y'all do it but yeah exactly but i
Starting point is 00:18:23 think it's interesting like there's these little things that were like yeah yeah no we always did that um that uh once as you become an adult people like what the fuck yeah no did i have any shit like that no i mean i had things that like when i had like american roommates and shit like they would be like there were like weird asian immigrant habits that i had that they were like what would be like there were like weird asian immigrant habits that i had that they were like what the fuck are you doing like the biggest thing i've talked about this on the show before is like not refrigerating shit that i would be like stewing overnight like if i made miso soup or some other thing like that shit didn't go in the refrigerator
Starting point is 00:18:59 right no it's that shit sat out overnight like i know that from my korean in-laws yeah yeah exactly and i remember people like what the fuck you're gonna fucking die and i'm like get the fuck out of my face bro and then boil it again i remember that one i had this one roommate he's my boy so he would he was so shook by the fact that i was not refrigerating shit he was honestly like saying shit like all right bro but like when you have to go to the hospital man like i'll take you but like just i just want you to know like i like i warned you i was like motherfucker i've been doing this every day of my fucking life since before we met yeah and we here we're still here fucking whole continent still is out here not refrigerating shit so yeah reverse version of
Starting point is 00:19:40 that where you like realize you've been fucking up i think that a lot of american people probably had was the uh electric tea kettle like i didn't oh boiling like stove boiling versus an electric kettle yeah stove boiling versus having an electric that's like the electric kettle is just objectively so much better than oh hell yeah especially if you got the big one that you depress the top oh yes and then that's fucking hot you got like a gallon in there yeah yeah all right that was my one uh what what is something miles that you think is overrated the republicans understanding of government slash the dems thinking this is it for trump this whole thing is for so so much um something that is interesting about the magGA movement is that it is,
Starting point is 00:20:27 it does operate truly like any other fandom. It's just a fandom in a lot of ways. It's a fandom. It's truly a fandom because it, what it did was it allowed a lot of people who are disinterested in sports or disinterested in politics to bring that same nonsensical, illogical way of thinking into politics now and be like, oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:20:44 I'm team MAGA. I don't know anything. I don't know how any of this shit works. But I just know this is my team. So, you know, like any fandom, you gotta have the narrative, we are the best. We are number one. Fuck anybody else. And then when that veil is pierced, you have to go into fucking full spin control
Starting point is 00:21:00 to convince yourself that despite the overwhelming evidence that is presented to you, you are still the best and we still winners and i i do this a lot as a laker fan right i talk about this even on mad boosties we're like my pride tells me we are the best and when that reality isn't being presented i start telling myself that we can just sign the best players next season or best coach whatever just completely completely removed from the realities of things like contracts salary caps whether or not it's even technically feed like things like limitations that would make my fantasies literally impossible so like with the gop they're freaking out because
Starting point is 00:21:37 their boy got touched by the legal system and now they have to cope hard and the coping this time comes in the form of again just fantasy revenge shit that is absolutely unable to happen. Aside from the very real threats of doxing and all the other campaigns that they say they're embarking on. But like specifically, right? And also the real threat that he gets elected president, in which case. Yeah, yeah. But I'm talking like the things that were people like, oh, New York wants to do that to Trump. Well, guess what?
Starting point is 00:22:04 All the truckers are going to boycott New York now. Right. No, they're not. And even in the fucking weird AI images that you've shown there, those trucks aren't even going to New York. But anyway, go on, please, with your fantasy or Marjorie Taylor Greene suggesting that we can strip the empire state of all federal funding. Yeah, no, no,
Starting point is 00:22:27 no, no, no. She's got that. She's got that. What about all the fucking Republicans that are in New York too? That are like, I kind of,
Starting point is 00:22:35 I, that's my state or no trash collection for you by that logic too. Uh, the man is facing a fucking Rico charge out in fucking Georgia, but you're not out here talking about defunding your own fucking state. So, again, I like that you're screaming. They're going to find him innocent. Exactly. Screaming about it, I know, makes us feel good, but it doesn't make it true.
Starting point is 00:22:57 The one shitty part is, even though Speaker Mike Johnson and Trump himself hope the Supreme Court can step in that sadly technically is a possibility the supreme court coming in and saying eventually you could technically appeal to the supreme court like up and up and up and up and up but that's going to take a such a long time um but who knows what happens because i don't think this appellate court um i don't think he's going to succeed on his appeal considering it was a jury trial but anyway anyway, all that to say is like, I think all parties engage in this fantasy coping and it just it's just so hard to watch sometimes like on the other side. Dude, the fucking fundraising texts I'm getting from Democrats are absolutely out of this world. Like, I don't know if we're I thought the election was like the fate of democracy or is it like a fucking door buster sale because like the way the fucking texts are coming in let me just read one this is one the first one is to all joe biden supporters please don't click away from this critical message
Starting point is 00:23:56 from gavin newsom blah blah blah talking about all this shit how we need to like him right after that i get another one today only trump found guilty all donations to boost biden are 4x matched 10 equals 40 25 equals 100 okay what what do you sure today today and today only then they go on it's like guilty we got him like it's stuff like that where i'm like this is unbelievable it's not rooted in reality and again they're really really selling people on this i'm like this is unbelievable it's not rooted in reality and again they're really really selling people on this shit that like this is somehow really gonna get the trump campaign wobbling it may but there are also these wacky headlines are like oh trump faces triple poll devastation blah blah blah blah blah where people are like it might make someone less likely to vote for trump if they're a republican
Starting point is 00:24:46 but i just uh there's just all these like sort of cope celebratory headlines in every direction that everyone's trying to make it a win for themselves or whatever the that i just it's it's just disorienting and uh again there's there's real things happening but but yes and people today and today turn jo And people trying to turn Joe Biden's weird smile into like, ha ha ha ha, owned, owned. He got owned, Trump.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I feel like he just looked kind of weird. It was kind of creepy. It was very creepy, for real. I don't know. Yeah, you could out of context put another question in there and make that look really weird. All right. Let's take a quick break. We're going to come back. We're going to talk about what Trump's been up to since being convicted of 34 felonies.

You know, he was, you know, taken into custody, met with his, oh his oh i'm sorry no he uh just went out had had a wild one uh was spiraling on social media uh claiming that he was being targeted uh for political persecution um basically turning himself into a religious martyr going to a ufc fight and seemingly just having a blast, joining TikTok.
Starting point is 00:29:29 But yeah, so the social media spiraling, posted a prayer for himself, strengthen him, Lord. Send legions of angels to protect him, Father. Guard and guide his heart and mind. Ease his cares and give him good rest.

Starting point is 00:31:00 out oh yeah they had that shit ready to go they could you imagine they fired it off before the verdict was even read they're like he's fucking cooked just ended huh yeah but with your support at this moment in history we will win back the white house and make america great again but yeah i even got some text messages from trump um and i knew they were from trump because this is the text all caps from trump colon, I have a question for you, exclamation point.

Starting point is 00:31:56 again again um who i voted for first of all between me and my god uh okay as i always say i would have voted for obama a third time uh and the fun thing for trump is you can vote for him a third time uh probably a fourth and fifth you know yeah at least ceremonially yeah yeah wow the trump trump asking you answer what what is it i do what is this one was drafted by him because the formatting is so weird yeah i it's like someone learned what like a call to action was or something or like it's like and then the ask is this and then their answer is this i don't know what either way this fool fucking raised like almost 53 million dollars in 24 hours campaign is reporting that he raised 52.8 million in 24 hours after his conviction and then you know well well no nfts i know not
Starting point is 00:32:54 no nfts yet oh yeah yeah yeah yeah he didn't have time to cook up the not guilty nfts yeah i got it can get a little piece of his summons to court. They'll cut it up into tiny little pieces. So yeah, I was expecting a bunch of shitty merchandise to go along with the news, but no political prisoner fanny packs or justice
Starting point is 00:33:18 is dead in America. Beer koozies yet from them. Hillary Clinton did drop a mug on our ass that I'm sure we're all just uh in back order on it has the slogan turns out she was right about everything and just even putting aside how wildly smug this is uh the mug 22 dollars uh is just so looks like absolute shit yeah it's so cringy too like the
Starting point is 00:33:50 tea sipping meme of it all yeah it's clip art from 1995 of Hillary Clinton sipping tea and then or it could be a bunch of dragon piss we don't know what's in the cup that's true to be fair it's not labeled so it's really up to you what you think i was right about everything let me sip my dragon piss
Starting point is 00:34:10 and be the interesting part is this it's just like it's so off on so many levels yeah like aside from like hillary we get it but like we don't need to hear but we don't need to hear from you we don't need to hear like it's it's not interesting i don't know like is this maybe it's a democratic fundraiser but just like how off base the tea sipping shit was like 2014 like the permit like especially the kermit one like with the lipton that was like peak 2014 we're 10 years late in the meme game, too. She got our ass. Got our asses with a $22 fucking hug. That was my first thought when he got convicted is Hillary told us, you guys. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:56 What was she? Okay. Yeah. I guess because he got convicted of fraud for cheating in the election. Lock him up. He's the guy that's bad. He in the election. Lock him up. He's the guy that's bad. He's the one. That's what sucks, though, too.
Starting point is 00:35:12 This response is so bad from Hillary Clinton. I'm like, I don't know, man. Am I defending Trump now? Just relax, man. He looks like he's having a hell of a lot of fun at that UFC fight. We knew he was a piece of shit. Find a new angle. Yeah, exactly. Well, speaking of finding a new angle,
Starting point is 00:35:27 M&M's has found a new angle with milk chocolate pumpkin pie. What the fuck are they doing? M&M's. A flavor that is being dropped in June. Okay. Is this, did they ever ever this is basically pumpkin spice latte yeah pumpkin yeah basically pumpkin pie yeah okay is i i thought i thought we as a society agreed that like late august was as early as possible yeah there's there's a fucking ceasefire. We do not fire our pumpkin spice weapons until August.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Yeah. So for some reason, and I think it's just bad market research. So the company's press release stated, at Mars, we celebrate Halloween every day all year long. Fair, fair. Must be an annoying place to work. Every day, someone's like wearing like zombie makeup. Like,
Starting point is 00:36:26 dude, really? Uh, but apparently, uh, their quote research indicates that Gen Z and millennials plan to celebrate Halloween by dressing up and planning for the holiday about 6.8 weeks beforehand.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Um, which would put the start of the Halloween Halloween season on the July 4th weekend wait how does that work it's gotta be like a self reported poll you know by dressing up and planning
Starting point is 00:36:56 6.8 but it says well 6.8 weeks from Memorial Day is the 4th of July what does that mean why is Memorial Day what the 4th of July? What does that mean? Why is Memorial Day what is that in relation to Halloween? Like all of this math is so bizarre.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah. The full quote this research indicates that Gen Z and Millennials plan to celebrate Halloween by dressing up and planning for the holiday about 6.8 weeks beforehand. Well 6.8 weeks from Memorial Day is the 4th of July. So you still have plenty of time to latch on to a pop culture trend and turn it into a creative costume what i don't it's like i don't it's so no a single person who starts celebrating halloween or planning their halloween costume in
Starting point is 00:37:36 july the only thing like i do have a personal reminder set to try and buy one of the skeletons in july because that's the only time that they're like available and affordable um is like on the home depot website i know people who like snagged them in like july and august so i'm gonna try that this is i'm i'm actually really interested i need more clarity on this quote is so confusing as i gang please help me it's been a long weekend i'm slightly sleep deprived what is what does 6.8 weeks from before halloween how does that relate to memorial day with and fourth of july which is 6.8 weeks from memorial day the pre-seasonal launch of the milk chocolate pumpkin pie m&ms is a strategic move that taps into mars's market research. This research indicates that Gen Z and millennials plan to celebrate Halloween by dressing up
Starting point is 00:38:29 and planning for the holiday about 6.8 weeks beforehand. So is Memorial Day, are they saying that's typically... Wait. Memorial Day is the one that already happened, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's the one that just happened. What is Memorial Day? Why is that day why is that
Starting point is 00:38:45 what is the relation between halloween and memorial day and this 6.8 are like is food and wine magazine just so fucking like uncritical that they just repost whatever is like in this press release and they're like yeah yeah they're fucking 6.8 weeks man to. To when? To what? What do we mean? What are we even talking about? Who the fuck is dressing up 6.8 weeks before Halloween? Not a real man. That's what I miss. Again, please,
Starting point is 00:39:17 Zeitgang, help me. I'm actually like, it's upsetting that I don't understand what this even means. Yeah, I feel like we've lost the threat of reality just either we have or the world has halfway to halloween mars announces 2024 halloween lineup okay and releases their inaugural tricks and trends report it's halloween all year long uh this is so fucking I'm like so upset that I don't understand what this 6.8 weeks
Starting point is 00:39:49 fucking shit means I think also because no one is participating again I'm old I'm an elder millennial so maybe I'm not up on this like 6.8 weeks ahead of time shit weeks after this is so fucking stupid I can't handle it i can't handle this shit is that
Starting point is 00:40:10 yeah what does that even mean i have no idea i have no idea then there's another one says they celebrate um gen z's halloween heroes the mara strict revealed that enthusiasm for halloween is driving consumers to plan for Halloween earlier. They celebrate, Gen Z celebrates Halloween early and often, 36% say they plan to celebrate Halloween or plan for the holiday more than a month in advance. And some Gen Zers
Starting point is 00:40:36 are already planning for Halloween now. They're most likely to, I don't even, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.'s our uh chime that tells us that we've spent way too long on this yeah we're getting the light move along yeah saying that we may have we're having it's the fucking all the plastic in my balls that's right i can't even i don't even know how to read let's take a quick break and we're to come back and talk about more important food-related stuff.

Starting point is 00:43:57 They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What the fuck is this though? It's so weird. It doesn't make any sense. Is there some kind of fucking typo or something do we think it was written by ai maybe and like people i feel like this is gonna start happening where like
Starting point is 00:44:32 there's just going to be press releases that get fully just swallowed into the news story that were generated by ai and like don't make sense, but nobody's paying enough attention to even fucking notice. Dude, I can't... Memorial Day isn't even in this actual report. I have no fucking clue what is going on.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Yeah. Many, many unbearable moments later. It's 20 weeks from Memorial Day. I think it's just a typo. In the Food and Wine article. But it's a full sentence. It says, well, 6.8 weeks from Memorial Day is the 4th of July. So you still have plenty of time to latch onto a pop culture trend and turn it into a creative costume.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Is the 4th of July... The 4th of July is not 6.8 weeks from Halloween right what are they trying to fucking do to me right now this is the fuck I think it must be an AI thing but yeah because the typo doesn't even make sense
Starting point is 00:45:38 3 hours later between July 4th and October 31st it's 17 weeks 17 weeks so I don't know how that's gonna be right are we missing are we fucking missing something am i i think you think my i think you missed quite a bit putting this story in the dot i mean now we're hooked man but now i don't know what the fuck is going on even the guy on the m&m's pumpkin pie package the little
Starting point is 00:46:07 m&m guy he's orange bro he yeah i know he looks like startled i didn't ask for this what what don't blame me all right we we have to move on no matter how much our listeners don't want us to uh there is an online controversy happening over chipotle where so there's a very popular video on tiktok claiming that chipotle portions have gotten smaller unless the employees are being filmed which seems like a pretty paranoid way to buy a burrito but oh my god i'd be like are you some kind of fucking libs of tiktok freak what are you doing with your camera out in the chipotle line um so they chipotle felt the need to comment on this claiming that there have been no changes in portion size and then their ceo brian nicole
Starting point is 00:47:01 uh niccol uh gave an interview stating that the Chipotle phone method is rude to our team members, which I agree that it is rude. But then he suggested that one of the great things about Chipotle is that you do want more toppings. And then he makes a
Starting point is 00:47:19 suggestive smile, sad nod. And then he's like, a little more scoop. You're he's like a little more scoop you're gonna get a little more scoop when you make like a little weird face at the employee and the look he gives is like a disappointed stage parent like yeah it's like a weird like sad smile that feels like it's acutely designed to only work if you are the ceo of chipotle trying to order at chipotle like certainly they will respond to your look of grinning disappointment with a little extra um i don't think everyone else speaks the subtle body language art of i can have you and your entire chain of command like wipe out of our
Starting point is 00:48:07 entire corporate structure if i need to you know you wanna you wanna know something pretty cool what's that i'm just i'm just we're looking at a story where uh a once great restaurant where people were like love it love the burrito bowls they hook you up so good like the burritos are so delicious the food quality is so great are now saying the quality is going in the shitter the portion sizes fucking suck what the fuck is private equity going on here no couldn't be private equity did they get some investors did they get some investors it there's there's definitely there are there is investment from private equity into chipotle wow how about that i mean look i'm not it's not that one has to do with the other because i think this is being seen across all fast food in general i mean like there there was a whole analysis where most people
Starting point is 00:49:00 now in the united states see fast food as a like a luxury because it's so overpriced but the beef with chipotle has been simmering and i i use that i mean that is too elaborate of a pun to be like even if it was unintentional simmering a part of your brain uh knew what it was doing there and i i salute it but like people are always pissed they're like what the fuck is up with chipotle it's the the shit is not the same it's like the the portions are not as good i think i don't know i mean what are you gonna do what are you gonna do i'm gonna be furious miles yeah um yeah no i don't know it's it's like he's just suggesting that you can just like creepily like nod at a worker. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:48 It's just such a weird, like trying to be fun. But what if they like misread your body language and think you're, you know, you want a baggie of weed or a baggie of Coke or something, you know, it's like giving people meaningful weird little nods i know that's so awesome and also if that's the whole basis of your restaurant what about the people who don't like to aren't necessarily that social and are willing to be like ah you know i mean like i'm i'm not always trying to be like hey come on man like sometimes i don't have the energy like sometimes i don't have the social battery sometimes i don't have the social battery
Starting point is 00:50:25 to try and use skills of persuasion when i just want my fucking burrito bowl or whatever the fuck i'm gonna get at chipotle so the idea that it's like yeah man you just gotta fucking like nudge them to and that's the norm i don't know i want my burrito to be able to feed a family of four. Yeah. Alright. Finally, we got Alex Jones giving us a fake... I haven't spent a lot of time watching Alex Jones' live
Starting point is 00:50:58 streams in my life. And I'm fucking up, clearly. Gotta say, yeah. He went viral over the weekend for seemingly breaking down crying during an episode of info wars. And it was popular, I think with different people for different reasons. Like some people were like,
Starting point is 00:51:15 we've got to come together to help him. And a lot of people were like loving it. Um, but if you look at the full clip, it, uh, like the, the the the thing that was getting shared most suggested that he was like alex jones breaks down because he has to like sell his ranch but if you look at the whole clip it's so weird like he tries to fake cry fails his producer tells him to like uh i think people need to hear like a war cry and get angry and he like depressingly like sounds like he's depressed and he's like oh it's all a big
Starting point is 00:51:54 joke to you huh yeah here this is yeah just let's let's let the let's let the con man show us himself when i know i leave tonight they're gonna shut us down maybe it's tomorrow the next day i just want people to know i love you i believe in you i believe in humanity i believe in my grandparents i believe in my parents i believe in humanity i just want to stop these people oh and the spit came out yeah he's spitting a little bit and it's like, not.

Starting point is 00:54:30 real enough in your own mind to actually cry but elsewhere in the episode he admitted that he was crying he wasn't really crying and then also said I'm trying to cry as a fake thing I'm trying to cry as a fake thing because that would be gay if I cried sincerely.
Starting point is 00:54:49 So it's a fucking joke. So turns out the FBI was not outside the studio, just like waiting to burst through the doors as he feared. And he later claimed that he only believed his show was going to be shut down because he noticed one of his building's guards looking at me weird. Oh my god. Which, I mean, he just He's just a fucking liar, you know what I mean? It doesn't even matter what he said it was. He knew what he was doing. He's just like, I need to
