Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello Internet, and welcome to this Thursday, April tenth edition
of Insider Trending. Thank you to Nick semper Tyrannus on
the Discord for that trending title, because yeah, it's a
bit of light insider trading happening, basically with the manipulation
of the stock prices over the last couple of days.
(00:20):
We'll talk about that more on tomorrow's episode, but if
you want to hear something really cool, there is a
clip of Donald Trump talking about how much money literal
Charles Schwab made. The guy, Charles Schwab, He's not just
like a concept from all the back and forth and
pausing and unpausing of the tariffs. Anyway, I'm Miles Gray.
(00:41):
I'm joined by Paulviganlan. Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Hello. I don't know why I sound like the Queen.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Oh yes, Hello, that's more Missus doubt fiery.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Oh yeah, that is Missus Duff. I think it's John
Stewart's impression of the Queen from the Daily Show from
when we were kids. This makes that is a very missus.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
But I think he's just fucking ripping off. I think
so too, fucking Missus Delphire arrist in peace, all right,
So let's talk about what's trending. James Cameron is trending
because he's now, I guess, defending sky Net. And I
say that because if you remember James Cameron's films, like
specifically the Terminator franchise, it was basically warning people that
(01:21):
AI could eventually lead to a nuclear apocalypse filled with
Austrian naked cyborgs. And you think that someone with that
kind of foresight for the future would not be cheerleading
fucking the use of AI, especially in the filmmaking process.
But now he was in the news this week because
he went to bat for AI during a podcasting interview,
because he was defending his decision to join the board
(01:44):
of Stability AI, which is the company that does the
text to image stable diffusion model. He's saying, I didn't
do it to make quote, a shit pile of money,
although he probably is making a shit pile of money.
He then argued that he wants AI to be used
in visual effects to cut Blockbuster costs in half without
laying off half the staff. He just wants to speed
(02:07):
up their jobs, not eliminate them.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Do you remember the foresight of this man? When he said,
after Avatar every movie was going to be in three D.
Do you remember that? It was like, this is going
to be the future.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yep, this is It's not.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I feel like he's a crypto guy. I just have
it in my heart because he's like one of those
guys who like understands tech enough to be to be
throwing around the jargon a lot, but not understand the
impact of it. Well, an if I don't understand smart contracts.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
He's had enough career wins too that gives him that
sort of like pseudo confidence that he shouldn't have, where
he's like, yeah, obviously I can see the matrix. I
like the whole quote is my goal was not necessarily
make a shit pile of money.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not necessarily.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's so funny, bro, you were telling on your dumb ass.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Did he put that into chat GPT before he said it?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Right, I'm not necessarily, although that is something that has
happened as a result too.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
He's standing next to Charles Schwab and.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's right, he's in the Oval office.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I just happened to make a bunch of money.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I don't know what happened. I just I didn't necessarily
set out to do some insider trading. It just happened
just people in my signal thread were just talking about it.
According to this is like funny because this is what
he said about AI in terms of writing, like writing scripts,
when people are like, we can't have AI replaced writers. Quote,
I just don't personally believe that a disembodied mind that's
just regurgitating what other embodied minds have said about the
(03:30):
life that they've had, about love, about lying about fear
about mortality and just put it all together into a
word salad and then regurgitate it. I don't believe that's
ever going to have something that's going to move an audience. Okay,
well now he's onto this. Because the thing is with
like visual effects jobs, these jobs are already quote particularly
vulnerable now thanks to AI because people are using all
(03:51):
kinds of AI tools. And I mean, I guess if
it does become part of this professional VFX workflow more
than it is, it does eliminate like the only creative
part of the job that's and people just be like
cleaning up the mistakes of what the AI comes up with.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We had so fucking backwards. How did it do the
creative part? And like not the hard part or the tedious.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Part, because they just want to devalue people's skills, the
creative skills, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I want to devalue our souls because that's what's truly into.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Art, because they're going to be like, what do you Oh,
just because you can draw really good and bring my
ideas to life visually, I should be giving you some
kind of like we're like, I don't know, proportionate amount
of what's the word I'm looking for payment for your work?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, and we can't even find the word payment.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
What the fuck is what money? No? No? No? Fuck
that the machine.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
James Cameron is like, Okay, we can use AI, but
only if we have to plug our tails into it,
and then it looks like we're fucking it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But he's probably saying that in the meetings where he's like,
uh yeah, one question, James, is it? Please? If can
we limit the questions like what the tech actually does? Oh? Absolutely,
this is totally my question. Okay, So if I'm fucking
the a oh fuck James?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
If you if it's a cyborg futuristic water animal, can
I fuck it?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I don't even understand the what's the premise of your question?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
James, I don't. I just I'm gonna get back in
my submarine.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So AI. You know, I'm like, come up with like
a sexy seven foot tall blue thick battie. You know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Can I fuck it?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
James?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's an image. I don't it's technically two dimensional.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You're saying, I can fuck it?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
All right, don't want to be the future of AI.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
This is the future of filmmaking, the future God, horny
old man with too much money backs diabolical technology. All right,
what else is trending? We've got, oh my god, the DHS.
They are now going to screen social media of visa
applicants to look for quote anti Semitic activity, read are
(06:08):
you from the Middle East? Are you Arab? Probably it's
like the easiest, easiest way. I mean, maybe they will
just across the board use it to leave anyone out,
but I think that's such a This has been one
of the most confounding. Not I mean this is on purpose,
but like the way the Trump administration is like, yes,
I'm gonna use the we're against anti Semitism thing to
(06:28):
just deport anybody whoever, could.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You put your hand down while we're talking about the
elon just for one second. So sorry, Yeah, okay, So
we're gonna deport anti semis.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, this is what Assistant Homeland Security Secretary said, quote.
There is no room in the United States for the
rest of the world's terrorist sympathizers, and we are under
no obligation to admit them or let them stay here
unless they work in the cabinet of the White House,
which in case they very much are welcome here to
be in decision making roles like.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Christian Department of Homeland Insecurity. Huh, they care about anything?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Tell them? Tell them? Yeah, they are just absolutely Again,
they want to say they care about anti Semitism, but
they ignore all the actual anti semitism in front of them.
But I think this all just is part of the normalization,
the practice of putting people into human and non human categories,
where if you are non human then you can be
shipped off like you're returning an old baseball glove you
(07:27):
bought on Amazon Prime or some shit, or rather trafficked
to El Salvador to do hard labor. So yes, not
much good news coming from there, good news if you like,
not real science, because right now the President has fucking
unleashed his war on maintaining water pressure. He's like, the showers,
(07:51):
the water pressure is terrible, and you put it on.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And do you know why he's doing this. You remember
that quote he had about flushing a toilet, how you
have to keep flushing it. And we're like, this man
is taking the hardest shit because I feel like it's
the same thing.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Well, he's also said so it's like, it takes me
fifteen minutes to get my hair wet. It's like, no, dude,
you're in a state of cognitive you're in a state
of cognitive decline, and you're experiencing a form of time dilation.
And I think that's probably what it is to.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You's only ten minutes in the morning, but then fifteen
at night.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I don't know why. I don't know. I get I
go in the I go in the shower, it's eight o'clock.
I come out, it's eight forty five.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's because I wand on the glass, I wonder where
I am.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Or what this is all for, and then I snap
out of it. Yeah, so he's basically saying Joe Biden
ruined water pressure because he was Joe Biden is like
we need to be more like efficient with how we're
just letting water blast out of shit, so you know,
for the environment shit like that. Also your own costs,
so you're paying less on your water bill. But Trump, again,
(08:55):
because he is ignorant as all hell, is just this
is one of those things he's been in insisting on
the shower heads for years now, and even like there's
a consumer reports Thingy're like, yeah, we've done a lot
of studies on this, Like shower heads are designed to
just optimize whatever like water flow there is. That's not
going to affect the performance of it. Like you're not
gonna say, like, yo, does she blew my skin off? No?
(09:20):
And so it follows no scientific reasoning any or logic
aside from Joe Biden shower bad.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I like the idea of Trump just wandering around his
house being like these appliances they're not working. We got
to revolutionize the toaster industry.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Wick it's not plugged in, mister president. I knew that.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I knew that houses should come with them automatically plugged in.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Right, automatically plugged in is so fucking stupid. Oh my god,
get in here. Tell me what do I need to
do with this? How do I get this? How do
I get this thing plugged in? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Here, Dad Barren crouches down.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Boy, you did it?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You do it? Like this water, this showerhead, it's all computer. Amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, this water is all computer. The water is even computer.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
The water computer.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh shit, the water is the water is computer. Y'all. Okay,
next up, we've got another story, but this time it's
about Tostitos. The chip recall is now apparently the highest
risk classification according to the FDA or what's left of
the FDA.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So America can't make any kind of chips.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Huh right, right right? Hey, where's my semiconductor? Dang at?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
How you doing? How you doing? Apparently there was like
I knew there was a big Tostito's recall, but I
didn't understand why. So apparently some of the chips may
include accidentally include nacho cheese tortilla chips. But those chips
contain undeclared to milk. I don't know what the fuck
is that?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Even you better declare this milk?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Okay, what's up, homie? What are you? What are you? Milk?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Where are you? What your neighborhood are you from?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You from the neighbor milk. Were you committing to were
you committing to next year? Next year for your freshman
year milk? I don't know, maybe I'm an undeclared milk,
but anyway, it could cause serious or life threatening allergic
reactions to those with an alergie or severe sensitivity to milk,
the FDA said in a press release. I'm surprised, Like, yoah,
this is the other part of like the whole Maha
(11:29):
RFK thing. He's he wants those people who are even
being like, hey, this se might fucking kill somebody to
just go away. And just so y'all know, the Tostitos
are fucking people up right now, So let's let's extrapolate
this out of here.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It came for the tostitos and I said nothing, and
then they came for the McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
But then they came for our blood pressure medications, and
we all we were dead. There were no there were
no SSRIs, there were nothing. It was just a real
bad time out here.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Don't get my antidepressant medication. This is gonna hurt you, guys.
Do they not understand that a bunch of mentally ill
people like out in these streets. Were you staning ourselves
for you? Okay, this is for your help. I'm taking
the antidepressants for you, my guy.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, it's like part of it. I know that they
have all this magical thinking around how like it's like, no,
it actually can be cured all these other ways. We
have such an emphasis on X, Y or Z medications.
Give them a gun. Yeah, really not gaming this out.
What happens when people don't have access to the medications
they need, Like come on now, Yeah, Brian the editor
(12:48):
is like, okay, well then legal isolocybin and MDMA. Where's
that a which I know I think he's kind of
alluded to, but not like in a sense that it's
going to be like it that's.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Gonna be the nacho cheese flavor and Tostinos are just
putting yeah, conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
The dude, those are called conspiracy theories. I like, yeah, okay,
you know, if you could just you.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Know, like the Good News Network or whatever, Yeah, conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Hey. You know, like in every ship in the Tostitos,
there's one special bag. It's dusted with psilocybin. Be careful though,
Like three is enough, three is enough, four it's bye. Bye,
it's audios. Okay, let's take a quick break. We'll come
back and talk about some other ship after this, and
(13:42):
we are back local news in LA. This was very
terrifying to read. Apparently, the La Unified School District sent
a message to parents noting that quote. Two individuals who
identified themselves as representatives of a federal agency arrived at
the office of Lillian Street element Tree School. After following
district protocols, school administrators denied entry to the individuals and
(14:05):
they left the message to the parents. Said. A similar
message was shared with the community of Russell Elementary School.
These are in South LA. I'm assuming this was This
is like ice related nonsense, but sending.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Like federal agents dressed like Steve Buscemi in that meme
where he's like.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Hey kids, Hey pillow kids, Hey fellow undocumented, Like what
are you fucking saying? This whole thing just so disgusting,
And every clip I see of these fucking fake ass
ice agents acting tough like they're always a most shook
looking people who are like, oh, I'm doing my job, man,
I'm doo my job signed up to brutalize people. It's
(14:44):
kind of the gig here.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Pretty nuts how like they're willing to like act up
in a school as long as there's not a shooter
in it, you know, right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah then you pull up and yeah, another thing that's
come out. So with the tariffs flippin and a floppin
and shit, right now, big questions are like being asked about,
like well, what's even happened, Like we still don't know
if for sure this has actually been enacted like legally
on paper that the tariffs are pausseib. We still haven't
heard from that, or if they actually still are in
(15:12):
effect either way. Prices that the the teriff rates for
China around one hundred and twenty five one hundred and
forty five I think now percent it all it goes.
These are like numbers like that don't even make sense anymore.
So the CEO of Amazon, like the company Amazon, not
Jeff Bezos, this guy Andy Jasse He was asked about like, oh,
(15:34):
what's this going to mean for costs and he was
like nah, he quote guesses that the sellers will be
passing tariff costs onto consumers and like the most noncommittal
ways like I mean, I guess they'll pass it on
to consumers. So yeah, none of this is actually of
a benefit to anyone.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
This is the ultimate door dash fee, Like when you
order DoorDash and you're like, what the fuck this din
costs seven dollars, I'm paying like thirteen dollars as like
nearly double. That's over one hundred percent that and it's
I'm paying the tip doesn't even go properly to the
driver like it's and the menu is like, this is
the ultimate We're door dashing from China right now. Yeah,
(16:15):
and we're paying crazy amounts of fees.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I think for people, like when you see shit like
this and knowing the people that stand to benefit from
all the chaos and the damage it does to small
business like this should be an even larger like call
to people to really put their money into like smaller
businesses when you can than just going to the same
fucking people that give their a share of their profits
to Donald Trump to kiss the fucking ring. But yeah,
(16:41):
this is just going to be content. The prices are
just going to go up across the board no matter
what because one fucking guy had a boner for tariffs
for forty fucking years and now he wants to be
William McKinley Part two. And finally, it is Thursday, April
tenth in Los Angeles, which means everyone is leaving LA
to go to Coachella. Usually now, I don't know how
(17:02):
sold out Coachella is, but I'm seeing a lot of
memes about everybody going to Coachella this year. But I
have a feeling this I don't even know, Like I
feel like Coachella is is died.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
We need to tear iff Coachella. Oh good point I'm getting.
Maybe yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I mean there's some there's some good acts that go
out there, but I feel like the festival itself is
completely fallen away.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh I'm so glad that I had my like music
festival burning man phase like ten fifteen years ago. Yeah,
back when I had the physical energy to do it,
and it also was like not as bad as it
is now.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Like two thousand and seven to twenty twelve was like
my heyday for going to like festivals, like whether there's
Coachella or Outside Lands.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, I did Outside Lands. I'm glad I did it.
I had a great time. I don't feel like I
would have as much fun now.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, I feel like i'd have every time I've gone
to Outside Lands. And that's felt more of my vibe
because like it's more like Bay Area chill people. Golden
Gate Park is just really beautiful. It's not like dusty
and shit.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I don't think people are like in it for the
pictures as much too. I think they're like slightly more
for the.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Miss like they don't enjoy the music. Yeah, I mean
I think young people always you know, take their take
their little videos what's going on, but less Yeah, I
just like to sit. I like to go to the
bathroom quickly. It's look, this is part of getting more mature.
But then also it's like then, but the other thing
is these promoters know that like older festivalgoers are like
(18:41):
they'll pay more to piss in a toilet, like without
waiting seventeen minutes at a time. So we should add
that as like a new tier of ticket we can
charge people for.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, we got to add the ticket where they don't
pass out. We got to add that one where they're hydrated.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
We give them water free water shit. All right, Well,
those are the stories that are trending today. We will
be back tomorrow with a brand new episode. POULIV thank
you for joining me today. We will see y'all tomorrow,
take care, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and obviously
take care of yourselves and do all the good health
stuff you can. Be healthy, you drink water. Bye bye,
We love you.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Bye,
Hello Internet, and welcome to this Thursday, April tenth edition
of Insider Trending. Thank you to Nick semper Tyrannus on
the Discord for that trending title, because yeah, it's a
bit of light insider trading happening, basically with the manipulation
of the stock prices over the last couple of days.
(00:20):
We'll talk about that more on tomorrow's episode, but if
you want to hear something really cool, there is a
clip of Donald Trump talking about how much money literal
Charles Schwab made. The guy, Charles Schwab, He's not just
like a concept from all the back and forth and
pausing and unpausing of the tariffs. Anyway, I'm Miles Gray.
(00:41):
I'm joined by Paulviganlan. Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Hello. I don't know why I sound like the Queen.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Oh yes, Hello, that's more Missus doubt fiery.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Oh yeah, that is Missus Duff. I think it's John
Stewart's impression of the Queen from the Daily Show from
when we were kids. This makes that is a very missus.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
But I think he's just fucking ripping off. I think
so too, fucking Missus Delphire arrist in peace, all right,
So let's talk about what's trending. James Cameron is trending
because he's now, I guess, defending sky Net. And I
say that because if you remember James Cameron's films, like
specifically the Terminator franchise, it was basically warning people that
(01:21):
AI could eventually lead to a nuclear apocalypse filled with
Austrian naked cyborgs. And you think that someone with that
kind of foresight for the future would not be cheerleading
fucking the use of AI, especially in the filmmaking process.
But now he was in the news this week because
he went to bat for AI during a podcasting interview,
because he was defending his decision to join the board
(01:44):
of Stability AI, which is the company that does the
text to image stable diffusion model. He's saying, I didn't
do it to make quote, a shit pile of money,
although he probably is making a shit pile of money.
He then argued that he wants AI to be used
in visual effects to cut Blockbuster costs in half without
laying off half the staff. He just wants to speed
(02:07):
up their jobs, not eliminate them.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Do you remember the foresight of this man? When he said,
after Avatar every movie was going to be in three D.
Do you remember that? It was like, this is going
to be the future.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yep, this is It's not.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I feel like he's a crypto guy. I just have
it in my heart because he's like one of those
guys who like understands tech enough to be to be
throwing around the jargon a lot, but not understand the
impact of it. Well, an if I don't understand smart contracts.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
He's had enough career wins too that gives him that
sort of like pseudo confidence that he shouldn't have, where
he's like, yeah, obviously I can see the matrix. I
like the whole quote is my goal was not necessarily
make a shit pile of money.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not necessarily.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's so funny, bro, you were telling on your dumb ass.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Did he put that into chat GPT before he said it?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Right, I'm not necessarily, although that is something that has
happened as a result too.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
He's standing next to Charles Schwab and.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's right, he's in the Oval office.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I just happened to make a bunch of money.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I don't know what happened. I just I didn't necessarily
set out to do some insider trading. It just happened
just people in my signal thread were just talking about it.
According to this is like funny because this is what
he said about AI in terms of writing, like writing scripts,
when people are like, we can't have AI replaced writers. Quote,
I just don't personally believe that a disembodied mind that's
just regurgitating what other embodied minds have said about the
(03:30):
life that they've had, about love, about lying about fear
about mortality and just put it all together into a
word salad and then regurgitate it. I don't believe that's
ever going to have something that's going to move an audience. Okay,
well now he's onto this. Because the thing is with
like visual effects jobs, these jobs are already quote particularly
vulnerable now thanks to AI because people are using all
(03:51):
kinds of AI tools. And I mean, I guess if
it does become part of this professional VFX workflow more
than it is, it does eliminate like the only creative
part of the job that's and people just be like
cleaning up the mistakes of what the AI comes up with.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We had so fucking backwards. How did it do the
creative part? And like not the hard part or the tedious.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Part, because they just want to devalue people's skills, the
creative skills, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I want to devalue our souls because that's what's truly into.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Art, because they're going to be like, what do you Oh,
just because you can draw really good and bring my
ideas to life visually, I should be giving you some
kind of like we're like, I don't know, proportionate amount
of what's the word I'm looking for payment for your work?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, and we can't even find the word payment.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
What the fuck is what money? No? No? No? Fuck
that the machine.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
James Cameron is like, Okay, we can use AI, but
only if we have to plug our tails into it,
and then it looks like we're fucking it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But he's probably saying that in the meetings where he's like,
uh yeah, one question, James, is it? Please? If can
we limit the questions like what the tech actually does? Oh? Absolutely,
this is totally my question. Okay, So if I'm fucking
the a oh fuck James?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
If you if it's a cyborg futuristic water animal, can
I fuck it?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I don't even understand the what's the premise of your question?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
James, I don't. I just I'm gonna get back in
my submarine.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So AI. You know, I'm like, come up with like
a sexy seven foot tall blue thick battie. You know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Can I fuck it?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
James?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's an image. I don't it's technically two dimensional.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You're saying, I can fuck it?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
All right, don't want to be the future of AI.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
This is the future of filmmaking, the future God, horny
old man with too much money backs diabolical technology. All right,
what else is trending? We've got, oh my god, the DHS.
They are now going to screen social media of visa
applicants to look for quote anti Semitic activity, read are
(06:08):
you from the Middle East? Are you Arab? Probably it's
like the easiest, easiest way. I mean, maybe they will
just across the board use it to leave anyone out,
but I think that's such a This has been one
of the most confounding. Not I mean this is on purpose,
but like the way the Trump administration is like, yes,
I'm gonna use the we're against anti Semitism thing to
(06:28):
just deport anybody whoever, could.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You put your hand down while we're talking about the
elon just for one second. So sorry, Yeah, okay, So
we're gonna deport anti semis.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, this is what Assistant Homeland Security Secretary said, quote.
There is no room in the United States for the
rest of the world's terrorist sympathizers, and we are under
no obligation to admit them or let them stay here
unless they work in the cabinet of the White House,
which in case they very much are welcome here to
be in decision making roles like.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Christian Department of Homeland Insecurity. Huh, they care about anything?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Tell them? Tell them? Yeah, they are just absolutely Again,
they want to say they care about anti Semitism, but
they ignore all the actual anti semitism in front of them.
But I think this all just is part of the normalization,
the practice of putting people into human and non human categories,
where if you are non human then you can be
shipped off like you're returning an old baseball glove you
(07:27):
bought on Amazon Prime or some shit, or rather trafficked
to El Salvador to do hard labor. So yes, not
much good news coming from there, good news if you like,
not real science, because right now the President has fucking
unleashed his war on maintaining water pressure. He's like, the showers,
(07:51):
the water pressure is terrible, and you put it on.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And do you know why he's doing this. You remember
that quote he had about flushing a toilet, how you
have to keep flushing it. And we're like, this man
is taking the hardest shit because I feel like it's
the same thing.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Well, he's also said so it's like, it takes me
fifteen minutes to get my hair wet. It's like, no, dude,
you're in a state of cognitive you're in a state
of cognitive decline, and you're experiencing a form of time dilation.
And I think that's probably what it is to.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You's only ten minutes in the morning, but then fifteen
at night.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I don't know why. I don't know. I get I
go in the I go in the shower, it's eight o'clock.
I come out, it's eight forty five.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's because I wand on the glass, I wonder where
I am.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Or what this is all for, and then I snap
out of it. Yeah, so he's basically saying Joe Biden
ruined water pressure because he was Joe Biden is like
we need to be more like efficient with how we're
just letting water blast out of shit, so you know,
for the environment shit like that. Also your own costs,
so you're paying less on your water bill. But Trump, again,
(08:55):
because he is ignorant as all hell, is just this
is one of those things he's been in insisting on
the shower heads for years now, and even like there's
a consumer reports Thingy're like, yeah, we've done a lot
of studies on this, Like shower heads are designed to
just optimize whatever like water flow there is. That's not
going to affect the performance of it. Like you're not
gonna say, like, yo, does she blew my skin off? No?
(09:20):
And so it follows no scientific reasoning any or logic
aside from Joe Biden shower bad.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I like the idea of Trump just wandering around his
house being like these appliances they're not working. We got
to revolutionize the toaster industry.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Wick it's not plugged in, mister president. I knew that.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I knew that houses should come with them automatically plugged in.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Right, automatically plugged in is so fucking stupid. Oh my god,
get in here. Tell me what do I need to
do with this? How do I get this? How do
I get this thing plugged in? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Here, Dad Barren crouches down.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Boy, you did it?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You do it? Like this water, this showerhead, it's all computer. Amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, this water is all computer. The water is even computer.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
The water computer.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh shit, the water is the water is computer. Y'all. Okay,
next up, we've got another story, but this time it's
about Tostitos. The chip recall is now apparently the highest
risk classification according to the FDA or what's left of
the FDA.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So America can't make any kind of chips.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Huh right, right right? Hey, where's my semiconductor? Dang at?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
How you doing? How you doing? Apparently there was like
I knew there was a big Tostito's recall, but I
didn't understand why. So apparently some of the chips may
include accidentally include nacho cheese tortilla chips. But those chips
contain undeclared to milk. I don't know what the fuck
is that?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Even you better declare this milk?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Okay, what's up, homie? What are you? What are you? Milk?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Where are you? What your neighborhood are you from?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You from the neighbor milk. Were you committing to were
you committing to next year? Next year for your freshman
year milk? I don't know, maybe I'm an undeclared milk,
but anyway, it could cause serious or life threatening allergic
reactions to those with an alergie or severe sensitivity to milk,
the FDA said in a press release. I'm surprised, Like, yoah,
this is the other part of like the whole Maha
(11:29):
RFK thing. He's he wants those people who are even
being like, hey, this se might fucking kill somebody to
just go away. And just so y'all know, the Tostitos
are fucking people up right now, So let's let's extrapolate
this out of here.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It came for the tostitos and I said nothing, and
then they came for the McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
But then they came for our blood pressure medications, and
we all we were dead. There were no there were
no SSRIs, there were nothing. It was just a real
bad time out here.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Don't get my antidepressant medication. This is gonna hurt you, guys.
Do they not understand that a bunch of mentally ill
people like out in these streets. Were you staning ourselves
for you? Okay, this is for your help. I'm taking
the antidepressants for you, my guy.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, it's like part of it. I know that they
have all this magical thinking around how like it's like, no,
it actually can be cured all these other ways. We
have such an emphasis on X, Y or Z medications.
Give them a gun. Yeah, really not gaming this out.
What happens when people don't have access to the medications
they need, Like come on now, Yeah, Brian the editor
(12:48):
is like, okay, well then legal isolocybin and MDMA. Where's
that a which I know I think he's kind of
alluded to, but not like in a sense that it's
going to be like it that's.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Gonna be the nacho cheese flavor and Tostinos are just
putting yeah, conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
The dude, those are called conspiracy theories. I like, yeah, okay,
you know, if you could just you.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Know, like the Good News Network or whatever, Yeah, conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Hey. You know, like in every ship in the Tostitos,
there's one special bag. It's dusted with psilocybin. Be careful though,
Like three is enough, three is enough, four it's bye. Bye,
it's audios. Okay, let's take a quick break. We'll come
back and talk about some other ship after this, and
(13:42):
we are back local news in LA. This was very
terrifying to read. Apparently, the La Unified School District sent
a message to parents noting that quote. Two individuals who
identified themselves as representatives of a federal agency arrived at
the office of Lillian Street element Tree School. After following
district protocols, school administrators denied entry to the individuals and
(14:05):
they left the message to the parents. Said. A similar
message was shared with the community of Russell Elementary School.
These are in South LA. I'm assuming this was This
is like ice related nonsense, but sending.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Like federal agents dressed like Steve Buscemi in that meme
where he's like.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Hey kids, Hey pillow kids, Hey fellow undocumented, Like what
are you fucking saying? This whole thing just so disgusting,
And every clip I see of these fucking fake ass
ice agents acting tough like they're always a most shook
looking people who are like, oh, I'm doing my job, man,
I'm doo my job signed up to brutalize people. It's
(14:44):
kind of the gig here.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Pretty nuts how like they're willing to like act up
in a school as long as there's not a shooter
in it, you know, right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah then you pull up and yeah, another thing that's
come out. So with the tariffs flippin and a floppin
and shit, right now, big questions are like being asked about,
like well, what's even happened, Like we still don't know
if for sure this has actually been enacted like legally
on paper that the tariffs are pausseib. We still haven't
heard from that, or if they actually still are in
(15:12):
effect either way. Prices that the the teriff rates for
China around one hundred and twenty five one hundred and
forty five I think now percent it all it goes.
These are like numbers like that don't even make sense anymore.
So the CEO of Amazon, like the company Amazon, not
Jeff Bezos, this guy Andy Jasse He was asked about like, oh,
(15:34):
what's this going to mean for costs and he was
like nah, he quote guesses that the sellers will be
passing tariff costs onto consumers and like the most noncommittal
ways like I mean, I guess they'll pass it on
to consumers. So yeah, none of this is actually of
a benefit to anyone.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
This is the ultimate door dash fee, Like when you
order DoorDash and you're like, what the fuck this din
costs seven dollars, I'm paying like thirteen dollars as like
nearly double. That's over one hundred percent that and it's
I'm paying the tip doesn't even go properly to the
driver like it's and the menu is like, this is
the ultimate We're door dashing from China right now. Yeah,
(16:15):
and we're paying crazy amounts of fees.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I think for people, like when you see shit like
this and knowing the people that stand to benefit from
all the chaos and the damage it does to small
business like this should be an even larger like call
to people to really put their money into like smaller
businesses when you can than just going to the same
fucking people that give their a share of their profits
to Donald Trump to kiss the fucking ring. But yeah,
(16:41):
this is just going to be content. The prices are
just going to go up across the board no matter
what because one fucking guy had a boner for tariffs
for forty fucking years and now he wants to be
William McKinley Part two. And finally, it is Thursday, April
tenth in Los Angeles, which means everyone is leaving LA
to go to Coachella. Usually now, I don't know how
(17:02):
sold out Coachella is, but I'm seeing a lot of
memes about everybody going to Coachella this year. But I
have a feeling this I don't even know, Like I
feel like Coachella is is died.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
We need to tear iff Coachella. Oh good point I'm getting.
Maybe yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I mean there's some there's some good acts that go
out there, but I feel like the festival itself is
completely fallen away.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh I'm so glad that I had my like music
festival burning man phase like ten fifteen years ago. Yeah,
back when I had the physical energy to do it,
and it also was like not as bad as it
is now.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Like two thousand and seven to twenty twelve was like
my heyday for going to like festivals, like whether there's
Coachella or Outside Lands.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, I did Outside Lands. I'm glad I did it.
I had a great time. I don't feel like I
would have as much fun now.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, I feel like i'd have every time I've gone
to Outside Lands. And that's felt more of my vibe
because like it's more like Bay Area chill people. Golden
Gate Park is just really beautiful. It's not like dusty
and shit.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I don't think people are like in it for the
pictures as much too. I think they're like slightly more
for the.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Miss like they don't enjoy the music. Yeah, I mean
I think young people always you know, take their take
their little videos what's going on, but less Yeah, I
just like to sit. I like to go to the
bathroom quickly. It's look, this is part of getting more mature.
But then also it's like then, but the other thing
is these promoters know that like older festivalgoers are like
(18:41):
they'll pay more to piss in a toilet, like without
waiting seventeen minutes at a time. So we should add
that as like a new tier of ticket we can
charge people for.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, we got to add the ticket where they don't
pass out. We got to add that one where they're hydrated.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
We give them water free water shit. All right, Well,
those are the stories that are trending today. We will
be back tomorrow with a brand new episode. POULIV thank
you for joining me today. We will see y'all tomorrow,
take care, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and obviously
take care of yourselves and do all the good health
stuff you can. Be healthy, you drink water. Bye bye,
We love you.
