Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Beast
Trendon Robins AKA all hallos eviv evi viv evive and
a heavy evive to you as well. My name is
Jack got Over. There is mister Miles Brow.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh wow, this is like a normal show intro. I
don't have an AKA, but I do know this. I
still don't know what I'm gonna be for.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Halloween, still figuring it out.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I'm just, you know, it's for me. I just we're
gonna walk the baby around. I don't need the focus
to be on me. It should be on the baby,
who's going to be zero from Nightmare Before Christmas, the
little dog adorable.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I was gonna say, man, you you have to because
I always need the eyes on me. So you have
to work extra hard because people are like the kids
are so fucking cute or whatever, you know, so you
need to work hard. T shirt on.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I got a crop T shirt and a wig on.
What's this costume? I don't know, but look at it.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Please look at me, Look at me, look at me.
All right, Well, it is October thirtieth and these are
some of the things that are trending. I finally asked
you know for help on the subject that has been
I've been struggling with in silence for a while. I
(01:18):
asked Miles to explain to me what the what the
rizzler is. I had seen the rizzler. I'd seen him
do his little facial things, his little facial expressions with
the hand. I'd even seen people make that at me.
I think my young cousin was doing that. Well, it
was rising you up, has risen me up? Okay, and
hadn't bothered. But I think this is the point that
(01:40):
probably the old and the washed among us not terminally
online finally had to just say, okay, i'll bite. What
is rizzler?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, yeah, he's I think a third I think he's
in third grade.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I thought it was going to be like one of
the people who you know, like Gary Coleman had that
disease where he was like.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh sure, sure, no he is. He is truly one
percent of child who is being forced to do stuff
by their parents on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Because the answer, I regret to inform you is much
sadder than I could have possibly imagined.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, well, it's trending also too, because they went on
Fallin and Fallen was like just disgusted in real time
at like, I think sharing his stage with TikTokers, because
there was also a J in Big Justice. You don't
know from their TikTok costco reviews and food reviews.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Which I had assumed in seeing them in passing, you
know that they were all part of a family of no,
you know, people of influencers.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
No Rizzler descends from a different genealogical line, but not
of that of AJ and Big Justice.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
But yeah, I don't know, it's just this is where
we're at.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Maybe you know, just kids who do little gestures and
they get millions of TikTok views and then that means
you're on a talk show and these are our these
are our celebrities.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Now, Jack, these are our celebrities.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I'm fine with that. It does feel like weird for
him to be this young and just kind of I
don't know, like what one of his pieces of merch
is like zin based, so he's like, yeah, kind of
being put into like the world of like manfluencers.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Like yeah, clearly it's like the dad wanted to be
some like manfluencer, toxic dude type, and he's like, well, I.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Got this kid who's kind of going cute.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So now I can make a you know, zin related
merch and just other stuff go to the message.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Maybe it's like a maybe the parents are just like
talent agents in LA and they're like, we just got
to get him where we fit in. You know, our
older son, Timothy Shallime had a look that more lent
itself to this Hollywood acting. This kid is I'm feeling
Rizzler vibes.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, even though there's no I don't even this is
a child. This is a child, yeah, yeah, a sad
state of affairs. I'm just like it's just yeah, we're
just watching because there is this era you know of
because of social media, parents just making their kids stars.
Now does the Rizzler want to be the Rizzler for
the rest of his life? Because I don't think this
continues into his twenties and thirties, And if it does,
(04:23):
God bless you, and I hope you enjoy your your
fandom and your stardom.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's like just this thing and like people talk about
all the time about being like, oh man, my parents
posted this embarrassing shit at me as a kid, and
it's just like people found on Facebook and it just sucks.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, But I.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Guess maybe because you're making money now and you got
a little you got your nice sneakers and shit on them,
maybe it's all worth it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I don't think it's been child stars for a long time.
It's just there's something about the fact, like when you
look at early videos of him, he's just like a kid,
and now he's like, yes, this sort of mascot, and
I don't know, I don't want to like, yeah, I'm
sure everybody's having fun with it, and I'm sure he's
having fun with it right now. It just feels like
(05:07):
weird to me. But I think it's gross.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't agree with it as someone who grew up
with a lot of kids who acted as children and
had a lot of attention on them as kids, Like,
for a thing, it's very hard to transition to normal adulthood, yea,
when you're so used to like a version of the
world treating you a certain way.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And I think it's uh, it's just it's just bad news.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And especially when it feels like parents are just so
reckless and they're like, let's just ring this thing out
for every fucking penny it's worth Yeah, I feel like
and then like your your relationship to your parents changes
because clearly like your success is tied to their happiness
now because of the financial windfall.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
It's it's messy. It's messy.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And AJ and Big Justice are just a father son
who say boom a lot as far as I can tell,
and do co reviews.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, nailed it.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And they're and they hang out in the same like
fame group. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I mean I think they met at like some charity
basketball game or something.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't know whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's such a such a different world, you know, from
from the salons that I go to to have intellectual
conversation right with, you.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Know, such a different world from the celebrity basketball games
that I play in that my friends. Yeah, anyways, good
luck to that young man. And by the way, Jimmy Fallon,
don't act like you're above this. You're not above this.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, you were tussling Trump's hair. Full, shut the fuck
up and get on with it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You tussle Trump's hair and like crack up for like but.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Now the rizzler. Okay, guys, we get it. Oh you're
saying boom again. Okay, A lot of people are more focused.
They're like, what the fuck is it? Just the interview
was very odd. It felt like when like Jerry Seinfeld
had like YouTubers, like on comedians and cars, He's like, and.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Right? Right?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That's comedy.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But hey, now I know who the rizzler is. So
it worked for them.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And now can finally talk to your kids. I know
you said I can't talk to them until I know who.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The wristler is. Come on, man, help me out here.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, they're like you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Again. All right? Uh, well, we're a day away from
Halloween and what comes after Halloween?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But Thanksgiving all Saints Day?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
What? Well, obviously we're all going to celebrate All Saints Day.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Jesus Christ Jack and I'm sorry to use his name, and.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No you're not using that in vain. You're using that literally,
think about.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, think about Jesus Christ. Yeah, no, I guess immediately.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's almost like I feel like some places are just
gonna go straight to Christmas somehow, but most the events
calendar will.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Turn the page to yes, Thanksgiving starting November.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Does Mariah Carey do the thing where she like strikes
the clock and it turns to Mariah carey all I
want for Christmas? Is you Christmas? Does she do that
on hallow Ween or at Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I feel like she starts. I think, isn't it called
like the defrosting.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, the defrosting and she because I remember when she
struck her fairy wand like there was a Chucky and
ad Jason there, right, and then they turned into Chuck
and Jason and Santa Hat.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, she defrosted on November first, I think last year.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, so it's thanks time.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, honestly, like we don't need to acknowledge the history
of Thanksgiving. We can just say, look, it's the time
we get off to argue with family and not talk
to family or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Food of Thanksgiving the food miles my stuffings. So last year,
Basket of Robbins celebrated Thanksgiving by making it's November Flavor
of the Month Turkey Day, which I think they were
just like, yeah, we've seen the attention that these ice
cream brands get from making like ranch hidden Valley branch flavor,
(08:59):
so we're gonna headfake at that. But the thing was
actually just sweet potato, cranberry and honey corn bread flavorworks. Yeah,
that works fine, It's not even that like that. That
is totally down the.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Age and celery and.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You're like, why gravy, You must have it with the gravy,
just melt it. Yeah, So no turkey, no wine, no
screaming at your uncle flavors my uncle. But this year
they're going a little bit more savory. They were like, ah, man,
(09:39):
that didn't work out at all, but we fired Brian.
So now we're gonna try and move forward with this
one that they're calling. And hold on to your ass, Miles, okay,
because this one, this one's gonna make you laugh your
ass off called Breee. My guess what? No? Wow, did
(10:07):
they do that?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
See, my guest? Oh? How appropriate. Everyone loves bri in America.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Everyone loves Bri in America. It is the first thing
we think about when we think about Thanksgiving is what
about a cheeseboard? And so that's what they they took
from their brainstorm Sash. They've gone combination bri and barrata
flavored ice creams mixed with almonds, pistachio pieces, and apricot swirls.
(10:39):
Is it really they're kind of pushing it a little
bit further this time, you're pushing it basking in robins.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, great, basking and keep basking your robins.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
As much as you can and or robins.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah, please, please please please, but great. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I'm just glad that people who want cheese based ice
creams now have a flavor that they can.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Have a place to go. Yeah, all right, let's take
a quick break and we'll come back with more ice
cream news. We'll be right back, and we're back and
we will do a couple election updates for you sick
(11:25):
fucks out there. Can't get enough of the election, get
enough of the horse race. But this is big news
for longtime listeners of the dailies. I guys know that
we have been tracking the story about McDonald's ice cream
machines for a.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
While, always broken, always.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Broken, the fact that mcflurry's rarely available because they can't
get the ice cream out of the machine, because why
is that all right? So the company that sold them
the machines was like, ahaha, you did not read your contract,
McDonald's franchise owners.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I'm American.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, we own the rights not only to these machines,
but the right to repair these machines. And so you're
not able. You're not allowed to repair them yourselves. You
have to pay our technicians aka us to come repair
them for you. Basically, instead of buying an ice cream machine,
(12:22):
you have bought the rights to license a song from
Like it's like the like licensing rules around music. It's like, yeah,
if you want to pay for that again, you can
have it again this year. So it's kind of fucked up.
McDonald's franchises are yeah, prevented from fixing their own ice
(12:45):
cream machines, but now they can legally hack the broken machines.
There's a victory for you can now small bought, you
can hack the thing you bought aka fix it right, yeah,
which it needs to be hacked to be fixed because
they have put, you know, things in place to make
(13:07):
it difficult to fix. There are things stopping you. Like
when you try to fix it, it's like ah ah ah,
you didn't say the magic word. Ah, I hate this
hacker crap. But yeah, so the US Copyright Office was
like this, this seems bad, right, This seems like a
(13:29):
misuse of this whole operating system that we've designed our
entire civilization around capitalism. Like that seems bad that they're
like hacking it in a way that it makes it
hard for people to get the thing they want.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It's been yeah, ridiculous since the moment we knew this
was why. It's like, this sounds like absolute dog shit.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, stinks like the shit. We We've said that from
day one, and you know, obviously not quite as headline grabbing.
But this is also being done with hospital equipment.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh well whatever, the mcflury like the thing that work covering.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Machine. Now, what's that about? Ventilators? Yes, ventilators. In fact,
we're pulling some similar ship where you know, making simple
repairs and doing simple diagnostics on ventilators and other medical
equipment was being prevented, which led to perfectly good equipment
being kept out of commission for a weeks more than that. Later,
(14:39):
the mcflurry machines are later what's your favorite mcflury flavor? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I don't know, Uh, this feels like a pushback
in the right direction. And yet yeah, this this system,
this operating system that our civilization uses is to run everything. Anytime,
(15:02):
in my experience, having done this show with you for
seven years, anytime there's a victory, that's like, well we
should fix that, right, Yeah, if there's money to be
made in the opposite direction usually doesn't last that long.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Maybe never the final chapter in this story, but we
will keep an.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Eye on it.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It's like we don't have rights, but the corporations do
to continually just be like no, you want to pay
me to fix that. But anyway, so good, good for
the vent and obviously good for the ventilators as well. Yeah,
or medical equipment.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
All right, a couple election updates. Yeah, Seventy five thousand
people showed up at the Ellipse sight of the January
sixth speech that Trump gave where he was like, it
was the most that have ever been seen. It was
a beautiful day of love before they stormed capital and
(16:00):
started killing people. There was no there is no violence,
There was no there was nothing bad. But uh Kamala
Harris gave a speech there. Seventy five thousand people showed up,
and a lot of.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
People are just also being like so many headlines.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You're like, that's more than the people that showed up
on January sixth, Like that's the take, Like we're just
doing crowd measuring contests now.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, yeah, because they let him. This is what the
media does. They let him define the term. Yeah, of everything.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
They're just like, oh, well, if the currency is crowd
size and not policy, then yes in your filth, absolutely,
mister Trump.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
You fuck you.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But the speech was more just more of the thing
that Democrats have been doing since Trump left office, and
MAGA had become like just the like what the party is,
which again is the gift and the curse to the Democrats,
which is they don't have to talk about policy anymore.
It just goes, well, we're not these fucking guys. We're
not these guys. We're not Donald Trump. And I get that.
(17:00):
I understand how you're framing it. Those are the steaks,
But again, you also want to you also want people
to vote for something.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Too, not just against something.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It's like going to a restaurant and they go in
and you're like, oh, so, what do you guys serve here?
They're like, have you heard about the restaurant next door?
The food tastes like shit? And I'm like, right, but
I came in here, So what do y'all have in here? Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Not that? Not that tell you here? Instead of showing
you our food, why don't I show you a picture
of their food and tell you how shitty that is,
because that's really your only other option.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
All right, fine, let me just see your let me
just see your food. Wait, this kind of looks like
just a slightly better version of the food next door. Yeah,
you know, but this there, there's that shit exactly. But
and that's how we know you're going to choose it
over what they're choosing. Yea, the same shit, you just
slightly less like there's this poison.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, straight, I.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Mean, look it is, uh, you know, for not wanting
to Donald Trump presidency. It's nice to see like a
lot of there's clearly there's a huge enthusiasm gap.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It looks like but honestly, we have no clue how
this is going to shake up.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I have no fun.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It's either I think it's really either going to be
it's a it's going to be a blowout and Trump
is going to lose, or it's going to be super tight,
which is probably the version of the race he wants,
so then he can do the like everything's too close,
because he's already doing the like he's doing more of
the Pennsylvania. They're cheating now, it's happening, all right, now,
they're cheating. It's bad. Yeah, so they're set up for
(18:30):
any eventuality. I mean, like the like the liberal take
on Trump's recent like Pennsylvania stuff is like, oh, maybe
his internal polls are looking real bad. But again, I
don't think that matters because all of these Trump supporters
have been fed a steady diet of like, we got
this fucking thing, and anything that's a deviation from that
is an abomination that we will have to fight in
(18:50):
the streets for.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Meanwhile, a mega billboard in Ohio depicting Kamala Harris engaged
in a sex act had to be removed, and this
is you know, uh, Nikki Hayley was like after the
Medicine Square Garden Nazi Rally Part two, Electric Boogoloo was
just like it's so like the toxic masculinity is like
(19:13):
so overpowering on that side, Like it's that is essentially
what they've made this whole thing about.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, well think of like even the ads that are
running during the World Series, it's like the most transphobic
trash ever. It's like, Okay, get in front of these
dudes and be like, yes, transgender people can get care,
even though that's actually not what she's even said. Recently,
they're like taking an old quote from Kamala and being
like She's for they them, Trump is for us, and
you're like, holy shit, Okay, Yeah, the fate of the
(19:46):
country is all based on whether or not human beings
get fucking medical care.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And we want them not to is the That's and
that's what.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That's how we're motivating.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That's what.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
That's the state of our humanity at the moment.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Also just action interference update and in addition to Trump
continuing to like spread uh misinformation that like there's voter fraud.
So we talked about how multiple ballot drop boxes were
attacked with in sandiary devices in the Pacific Northwest. We
also had Larry L. Savage Junior, who he ran for
(20:22):
Republican office.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I believe, Yeah, he I think he finished like six
out of eight in a Republican primary.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
So not not the not the sharpest marble in the drawer,
you know, or maybe too sharp.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Maybe he's playing like seventeen dimensional chess, and it was
just like people weren't ready for it. Yes, but anyways,
he was charged with like stealing ballots. He stole two
ballots during a testing of local voting machines.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
To try and putting upright like there be.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
They did this so people could see for their fucking
own eyes that they're like, yeah, come check it out.
You can see how this works. Not fucking like people
aren't stealing fucking ballots, unlike what you've heard on your
whatever you're listening to.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
So he goes there. This is from the New Republic. Quote.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Several citizens were permitted to run quote test ballots through
machines assigned to their county, including Savage, who was spotted
on camera folding the ballots into his pocket while confirming
with an election official that they were quote absolutely totally
real ballots. Although they weren't official ballots, the ballots did
not say fake or sample, and were being tracked and
(21:29):
counted by the state. After pocketing the ballots, Savage leaned
over to a woman streaming the event on Facebook Live,
telling her that there.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Was a fucked up count.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Upon exiting, Savage approached a man outside the government facility
and showed him the ballots in his pockets before the
unidentified man padded him on his back. So he goes
out there, steals all this shit, comes back and then
when he's arrested or like when they asked, like what
was going on? He was basically saying, uh, this this
(21:59):
is what he said. Quote one question by police, Savage
admitted that he had taken the ballots, but claimed that
a woman at the facility had given him permission to
do so. He insisted that he quote wasn't trying to
steal from nobody. After being confronted with evidence revealing that
he had never asked for permission to take the ballots,
Savage admitted that he had lied, and then goes on, quote,
if you go to pay less or go wherever, it
(22:20):
says sample and usually can take a sample. What so
so that is the way I took it. I thought
they were fake fucking ballots.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Okay, are we just?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Are we talking about like like a costco type, like
a supermarket dude?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Sample? I heard the word sample at one point that day.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I can I can then take the sample and then
accuse the people that work in the store of theft.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I hear the word sample within twenty four hours, I
am physically incapable of stealing some shit that passes through
my hands.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
That's yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Those are the rules said sample, No fear.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
This is a felony.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, it is so again, these people, they are the
creators of the chaos that they point to that they
say they are victims of, and because everything has to.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Be manufactured, feels bad. And also the Supreme Court is
on there, sid So yeah, we're talking about it in
tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Which is why the Yeah, I don't know, the good
God Almighty, we'll see what happens, because you can already
tell that this all of this, especially in the emphasis
on Pennsylvania, is to kickstart the outrage machine on election
night if there's like another blue shift kind of thing
where it's like, well the returns, like Trump was leading
with only fifteen percent of the ballots casted being returned,
(23:42):
you know what I mean, and then be like, what happened?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I mean, we should just call it and we're able
to call stop the count.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Anyway, take your time Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Take your time Tuesday. Jesus Christ to.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Be November, and now it's take your time Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
We should have known, Miles, we should have known that
it would eventually be Tuesday, but me not. The way
my brain works, that is the future and we're never
gonna happen. Yeah, all right, Well, those are some of
the things that are trending on this Wednesday, October thirtieth.
We hope if we don't talk to you before then,
(24:22):
we hope you have a great Halloween. We are back
tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get
the vaccine, get your flu shot, don't do nothing about
white supolicy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Beast
Trendon Robins AKA all hallos eviv evi viv evive and
a heavy evive to you as well. My name is
Jack got Over. There is mister Miles Brow.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh wow, this is like a normal show intro. I
don't have an AKA, but I do know this. I
still don't know what I'm gonna be for.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Halloween, still figuring it out.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I'm just, you know, it's for me. I just we're
gonna walk the baby around. I don't need the focus
to be on me. It should be on the baby,
who's going to be zero from Nightmare Before Christmas, the
little dog adorable.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I was gonna say, man, you you have to because
I always need the eyes on me. So you have
to work extra hard because people are like the kids
are so fucking cute or whatever, you know, so you
need to work hard. T shirt on.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I got a crop T shirt and a wig on.
What's this costume? I don't know, but look at it.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Please look at me, Look at me, look at me.
All right, Well, it is October thirtieth and these are
some of the things that are trending. I finally asked
you know for help on the subject that has been
I've been struggling with in silence for a while. I
(01:18):
asked Miles to explain to me what the what the
rizzler is. I had seen the rizzler. I'd seen him
do his little facial things, his little facial expressions with
the hand. I'd even seen people make that at me.
I think my young cousin was doing that. Well, it
was rising you up, has risen me up? Okay, and
hadn't bothered. But I think this is the point that
(01:40):
probably the old and the washed among us not terminally
online finally had to just say, okay, i'll bite. What
is rizzler?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, yeah, he's I think a third I think he's
in third grade.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I thought it was going to be like one of
the people who you know, like Gary Coleman had that
disease where he was like.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh sure, sure, no he is. He is truly one
percent of child who is being forced to do stuff
by their parents on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Because the answer, I regret to inform you is much
sadder than I could have possibly imagined.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, well, it's trending also too, because they went on
Fallin and Fallen was like just disgusted in real time
at like, I think sharing his stage with TikTokers, because
there was also a J in Big Justice. You don't
know from their TikTok costco reviews and food reviews.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Which I had assumed in seeing them in passing, you
know that they were all part of a family of no,
you know, people of influencers.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
No Rizzler descends from a different genealogical line, but not
of that of AJ and Big Justice.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
But yeah, I don't know, it's just this is where
we're at.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Maybe you know, just kids who do little gestures and
they get millions of TikTok views and then that means
you're on a talk show and these are our these
are our celebrities.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Now, Jack, these are our celebrities.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I'm fine with that. It does feel like weird for
him to be this young and just kind of I
don't know, like what one of his pieces of merch
is like zin based, so he's like, yeah, kind of
being put into like the world of like manfluencers.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Like yeah, clearly it's like the dad wanted to be
some like manfluencer, toxic dude type, and he's like, well, I.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Got this kid who's kind of going cute.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So now I can make a you know, zin related
merch and just other stuff go to the message.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Maybe it's like a maybe the parents are just like
talent agents in LA and they're like, we just got
to get him where we fit in. You know, our
older son, Timothy Shallime had a look that more lent
itself to this Hollywood acting. This kid is I'm feeling
Rizzler vibes.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, even though there's no I don't even this is
a child. This is a child, yeah, yeah, a sad
state of affairs. I'm just like it's just yeah, we're
just watching because there is this era you know of
because of social media, parents just making their kids stars.
Now does the Rizzler want to be the Rizzler for
the rest of his life? Because I don't think this
continues into his twenties and thirties, And if it does,
(04:23):
God bless you, and I hope you enjoy your your
fandom and your stardom.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's like just this thing and like people talk about
all the time about being like, oh man, my parents
posted this embarrassing shit at me as a kid, and
it's just like people found on Facebook and it just sucks.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, But I.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Guess maybe because you're making money now and you got
a little you got your nice sneakers and shit on them,
maybe it's all worth it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I don't think it's been child stars for a long time.
It's just there's something about the fact, like when you
look at early videos of him, he's just like a kid,
and now he's like, yes, this sort of mascot, and
I don't know, I don't want to like, yeah, I'm
sure everybody's having fun with it, and I'm sure he's
having fun with it right now. It just feels like
(05:07):
weird to me. But I think it's gross.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't agree with it as someone who grew up
with a lot of kids who acted as children and
had a lot of attention on them as kids, Like,
for a thing, it's very hard to transition to normal adulthood, yea,
when you're so used to like a version of the
world treating you a certain way.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And I think it's uh, it's just it's just bad news.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And especially when it feels like parents are just so
reckless and they're like, let's just ring this thing out
for every fucking penny it's worth Yeah, I feel like
and then like your your relationship to your parents changes
because clearly like your success is tied to their happiness
now because of the financial windfall.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
It's it's messy. It's messy.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And AJ and Big Justice are just a father son
who say boom a lot as far as I can tell,
and do co reviews.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, nailed it.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And they're and they hang out in the same like
fame group. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I mean I think they met at like some charity
basketball game or something.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't know whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's such a such a different world, you know, from
from the salons that I go to to have intellectual
conversation right with, you.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Know, such a different world from the celebrity basketball games
that I play in that my friends. Yeah, anyways, good
luck to that young man. And by the way, Jimmy Fallon,
don't act like you're above this. You're not above this.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, you were tussling Trump's hair. Full, shut the fuck
up and get on with it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You tussle Trump's hair and like crack up for like but.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Now the rizzler. Okay, guys, we get it. Oh you're
saying boom again. Okay, A lot of people are more focused.
They're like, what the fuck is it? Just the interview
was very odd. It felt like when like Jerry Seinfeld
had like YouTubers, like on comedians and cars, He's like, and.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Right? Right?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That's comedy.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But hey, now I know who the rizzler is. So
it worked for them.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And now can finally talk to your kids. I know
you said I can't talk to them until I know who.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The wristler is. Come on, man, help me out here.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, they're like you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Again. All right? Uh, well, we're a day away from
Halloween and what comes after Halloween?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But Thanksgiving all Saints Day?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
What? Well, obviously we're all going to celebrate All Saints Day.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Jesus Christ Jack and I'm sorry to use his name, and.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No you're not using that in vain. You're using that literally,
think about.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, think about Jesus Christ. Yeah, no, I guess immediately.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's almost like I feel like some places are just
gonna go straight to Christmas somehow, but most the events
calendar will.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Turn the page to yes, Thanksgiving starting November.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Does Mariah Carey do the thing where she like strikes
the clock and it turns to Mariah carey all I
want for Christmas? Is you Christmas? Does she do that
on hallow Ween or at Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I feel like she starts. I think, isn't it called
like the defrosting.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, the defrosting and she because I remember when she
struck her fairy wand like there was a Chucky and
ad Jason there, right, and then they turned into Chuck
and Jason and Santa Hat.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, she defrosted on November first, I think last year.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, so it's thanks time.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, honestly, like we don't need to acknowledge the history
of Thanksgiving. We can just say, look, it's the time
we get off to argue with family and not talk
to family or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Food of Thanksgiving the food miles my stuffings. So last year,
Basket of Robbins celebrated Thanksgiving by making it's November Flavor
of the Month Turkey Day, which I think they were
just like, yeah, we've seen the attention that these ice
cream brands get from making like ranch hidden Valley branch flavor,
(08:59):
so we're gonna headfake at that. But the thing was
actually just sweet potato, cranberry and honey corn bread flavorworks. Yeah,
that works fine, It's not even that like that. That
is totally down the.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Age and celery and.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You're like, why gravy, You must have it with the gravy,
just melt it. Yeah, So no turkey, no wine, no
screaming at your uncle flavors my uncle. But this year
they're going a little bit more savory. They were like, ah, man,
(09:39):
that didn't work out at all, but we fired Brian.
So now we're gonna try and move forward with this
one that they're calling. And hold on to your ass, Miles, okay,
because this one, this one's gonna make you laugh your
ass off called Breee. My guess what? No? Wow, did
(10:07):
they do that?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
See, my guest? Oh? How appropriate. Everyone loves bri in America.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Everyone loves Bri in America. It is the first thing
we think about when we think about Thanksgiving is what
about a cheeseboard? And so that's what they they took
from their brainstorm Sash. They've gone combination bri and barrata
flavored ice creams mixed with almonds, pistachio pieces, and apricot swirls.
(10:39):
Is it really they're kind of pushing it a little
bit further this time, you're pushing it basking in robins.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, great, basking and keep basking your robins.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
As much as you can and or robins.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah, please, please please please, but great. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I'm just glad that people who want cheese based ice
creams now have a flavor that they can.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Have a place to go. Yeah, all right, let's take
a quick break and we'll come back with more ice
cream news. We'll be right back, and we're back and
we will do a couple election updates for you sick
(11:25):
fucks out there. Can't get enough of the election, get
enough of the horse race. But this is big news
for longtime listeners of the dailies. I guys know that
we have been tracking the story about McDonald's ice cream
machines for a.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
While, always broken, always.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Broken, the fact that mcflurry's rarely available because they can't
get the ice cream out of the machine, because why
is that all right? So the company that sold them
the machines was like, ahaha, you did not read your contract,
McDonald's franchise owners.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I'm American.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, we own the rights not only to these machines,
but the right to repair these machines. And so you're
not able. You're not allowed to repair them yourselves. You
have to pay our technicians aka us to come repair
them for you. Basically, instead of buying an ice cream machine,
(12:22):
you have bought the rights to license a song from
Like it's like the like licensing rules around music. It's like, yeah,
if you want to pay for that again, you can
have it again this year. So it's kind of fucked up.
McDonald's franchises are yeah, prevented from fixing their own ice
(12:45):
cream machines, but now they can legally hack the broken machines.
There's a victory for you can now small bought, you
can hack the thing you bought aka fix it right, yeah,
which it needs to be hacked to be fixed because
they have put, you know, things in place to make
(13:07):
it difficult to fix. There are things stopping you. Like
when you try to fix it, it's like ah ah ah,
you didn't say the magic word. Ah, I hate this
hacker crap. But yeah, so the US Copyright Office was
like this, this seems bad, right, This seems like a
(13:29):
misuse of this whole operating system that we've designed our
entire civilization around capitalism. Like that seems bad that they're
like hacking it in a way that it makes it
hard for people to get the thing they want.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It's been yeah, ridiculous since the moment we knew this
was why. It's like, this sounds like absolute dog shit.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, stinks like the shit. We We've said that from
day one, and you know, obviously not quite as headline grabbing.
But this is also being done with hospital equipment.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh well whatever, the mcflury like the thing that work covering.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Machine. Now, what's that about? Ventilators? Yes, ventilators. In fact,
we're pulling some similar ship where you know, making simple
repairs and doing simple diagnostics on ventilators and other medical
equipment was being prevented, which led to perfectly good equipment
being kept out of commission for a weeks more than that. Later,
(14:39):
the mcflurry machines are later what's your favorite mcflury flavor? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I don't know, Uh, this feels like a pushback
in the right direction. And yet yeah, this this system,
this operating system that our civilization uses is to run everything. Anytime,
(15:02):
in my experience, having done this show with you for
seven years, anytime there's a victory, that's like, well we
should fix that, right, Yeah, if there's money to be
made in the opposite direction usually doesn't last that long.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Maybe never the final chapter in this story, but we
will keep an.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Eye on it.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It's like we don't have rights, but the corporations do
to continually just be like no, you want to pay
me to fix that. But anyway, so good, good for
the vent and obviously good for the ventilators as well. Yeah,
or medical equipment.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
All right, a couple election updates. Yeah, Seventy five thousand
people showed up at the Ellipse sight of the January
sixth speech that Trump gave where he was like, it
was the most that have ever been seen. It was
a beautiful day of love before they stormed capital and
(16:00):
started killing people. There was no there is no violence,
There was no there was nothing bad. But uh Kamala
Harris gave a speech there. Seventy five thousand people showed up,
and a lot of.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
People are just also being like so many headlines.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You're like, that's more than the people that showed up
on January sixth, Like that's the take, Like we're just
doing crowd measuring contests now.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, yeah, because they let him. This is what the
media does. They let him define the term. Yeah, of everything.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
They're just like, oh, well, if the currency is crowd
size and not policy, then yes in your filth, absolutely,
mister Trump.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
You fuck you.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But the speech was more just more of the thing
that Democrats have been doing since Trump left office, and
MAGA had become like just the like what the party is,
which again is the gift and the curse to the Democrats,
which is they don't have to talk about policy anymore.
It just goes, well, we're not these fucking guys. We're
not these guys. We're not Donald Trump. And I get that.
(17:00):
I understand how you're framing it. Those are the steaks,
But again, you also want to you also want people
to vote for something.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Too, not just against something.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It's like going to a restaurant and they go in
and you're like, oh, so, what do you guys serve here?
They're like, have you heard about the restaurant next door?
The food tastes like shit? And I'm like, right, but
I came in here, So what do y'all have in here? Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Not that? Not that tell you here? Instead of showing
you our food, why don't I show you a picture
of their food and tell you how shitty that is,
because that's really your only other option.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
All right, fine, let me just see your let me
just see your food. Wait, this kind of looks like
just a slightly better version of the food next door. Yeah,
you know, but this there, there's that shit exactly. But
and that's how we know you're going to choose it
over what they're choosing. Yea, the same shit, you just
slightly less like there's this poison.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, straight, I.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Mean, look it is, uh, you know, for not wanting
to Donald Trump presidency. It's nice to see like a
lot of there's clearly there's a huge enthusiasm gap.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It looks like but honestly, we have no clue how
this is going to shake up.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I have no fun.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It's either I think it's really either going to be
it's a it's going to be a blowout and Trump
is going to lose, or it's going to be super tight,
which is probably the version of the race he wants,
so then he can do the like everything's too close,
because he's already doing the like he's doing more of
the Pennsylvania. They're cheating now, it's happening, all right, now,
they're cheating. It's bad. Yeah, so they're set up for
(18:30):
any eventuality. I mean, like the like the liberal take
on Trump's recent like Pennsylvania stuff is like, oh, maybe
his internal polls are looking real bad. But again, I
don't think that matters because all of these Trump supporters
have been fed a steady diet of like, we got
this fucking thing, and anything that's a deviation from that
is an abomination that we will have to fight in
(18:50):
the streets for.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Meanwhile, a mega billboard in Ohio depicting Kamala Harris engaged
in a sex act had to be removed, and this
is you know, uh, Nikki Hayley was like after the
Medicine Square Garden Nazi Rally Part two, Electric Boogoloo was
just like it's so like the toxic masculinity is like
(19:13):
so overpowering on that side, Like it's that is essentially
what they've made this whole thing about.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, well think of like even the ads that are
running during the World Series, it's like the most transphobic
trash ever. It's like, Okay, get in front of these
dudes and be like, yes, transgender people can get care,
even though that's actually not what she's even said. Recently,
they're like taking an old quote from Kamala and being
like She's for they them, Trump is for us, and
you're like, holy shit, Okay, Yeah, the fate of the
(19:46):
country is all based on whether or not human beings
get fucking medical care.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And we want them not to is the That's and
that's what.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That's how we're motivating.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That's what.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
That's the state of our humanity at the moment.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Also just action interference update and in addition to Trump
continuing to like spread uh misinformation that like there's voter fraud.
So we talked about how multiple ballot drop boxes were
attacked with in sandiary devices in the Pacific Northwest. We
also had Larry L. Savage Junior, who he ran for
(20:22):
Republican office.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I believe, Yeah, he I think he finished like six
out of eight in a Republican primary.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
So not not the not the sharpest marble in the drawer,
you know, or maybe too sharp.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Maybe he's playing like seventeen dimensional chess, and it was
just like people weren't ready for it. Yes, but anyways,
he was charged with like stealing ballots. He stole two
ballots during a testing of local voting machines.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
To try and putting upright like there be.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
They did this so people could see for their fucking
own eyes that they're like, yeah, come check it out.
You can see how this works. Not fucking like people
aren't stealing fucking ballots, unlike what you've heard on your
whatever you're listening to.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
So he goes there. This is from the New Republic. Quote.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Several citizens were permitted to run quote test ballots through
machines assigned to their county, including Savage, who was spotted
on camera folding the ballots into his pocket while confirming
with an election official that they were quote absolutely totally
real ballots. Although they weren't official ballots, the ballots did
not say fake or sample, and were being tracked and
(21:29):
counted by the state. After pocketing the ballots, Savage leaned
over to a woman streaming the event on Facebook Live,
telling her that there.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Was a fucked up count.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Upon exiting, Savage approached a man outside the government facility
and showed him the ballots in his pockets before the
unidentified man padded him on his back. So he goes
out there, steals all this shit, comes back and then
when he's arrested or like when they asked, like what
was going on? He was basically saying, uh, this this
(21:59):
is what he said. Quote one question by police, Savage
admitted that he had taken the ballots, but claimed that
a woman at the facility had given him permission to
do so. He insisted that he quote wasn't trying to
steal from nobody. After being confronted with evidence revealing that
he had never asked for permission to take the ballots,
Savage admitted that he had lied, and then goes on, quote,
if you go to pay less or go wherever, it
(22:20):
says sample and usually can take a sample. What so
so that is the way I took it. I thought
they were fake fucking ballots.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Okay, are we just?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Are we talking about like like a costco type, like
a supermarket dude?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Sample? I heard the word sample at one point that day.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I can I can then take the sample and then
accuse the people that work in the store of theft.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I hear the word sample within twenty four hours, I
am physically incapable of stealing some shit that passes through
my hands.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
That's yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Those are the rules said sample, No fear.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
This is a felony.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, it is so again, these people, they are the
creators of the chaos that they point to that they
say they are victims of, and because everything has to.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Be manufactured, feels bad. And also the Supreme Court is
on there, sid So yeah, we're talking about it in
tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Which is why the Yeah, I don't know, the good
God Almighty, we'll see what happens, because you can already
tell that this all of this, especially in the emphasis
on Pennsylvania, is to kickstart the outrage machine on election
night if there's like another blue shift kind of thing
where it's like, well the returns, like Trump was leading
with only fifteen percent of the ballots casted being returned,
(23:42):
you know what I mean, and then be like, what happened?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I mean, we should just call it and we're able
to call stop the count.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Anyway, take your time Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Take your time Tuesday. Jesus Christ to.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Be November, and now it's take your time Tuesday.
