Yeah. And, oh, boy. There is some suspicious stuff going on in the Royal Court over in the UK. More on that at 11 miles. More than 11 seconds. And, yeah. Like, maybe, like, five minutes. First, we have to talk about ice cream.

Yeah. It's a. You know people who, like, put the. Ice cream. Yeah. Yeah. Ice cream. Her put the ice cream yeah yeah ice cream her majesty says sour cream sour cream you say sour cream yeah yeah sour cream sour cream and i'm like sour cream sour i mean hey we've heard of ice cream yeah we've heard of cream uh this shit is sour that is the notable thing wait wasn't there a video of jerry seinfeld like harassing like palestinian protesters at a recent

thing anyway i'm not surprised at someone who like i think he was doing like idf fantasy camp or something with his family years past um but anyway ice cream, another IDF, the International Dairy Foods Association, IDFA, is put out like a list of like sort of what America's top ice creams are. But the thing that people are taking away, and I think this is in the takeout, they're pointing this out too, is that chocolate chip, it ain't nowhere near the top 10, not even the top 14. Why do we expect it to be okay but i'll just let me just read it used to be yeah it did it was to be like number one with a bullet for a while yeah i mean remember when we were kids that was like the way to be like well we have vanilla

chocolate or chocolate chip and you're like that's kind of like bull um but anyway top from 10 down uh number 10 cookie dough then caramel salted caramel uh as nine chocolate chip cookie dough uh coffee butter pecan is number six shout out butter pecan wow love that still out here well you know some people still respect the the class my dad's favorite yeah shout out to jim what's his favorite uh shout out yeah um um they used to sell hoodies i remember like in you know when you buy wu-tang album in the cd jacket would be like merch you could buy uh-huh and i remember they had like they had like they had like woo wear for like the shorties like you're like your butter pecan ice cream anyway i never bought woo wear clothing but i bought the woo wear album that they made that they released you're like well

i don't know if i can pull off woo wear but i'll have the album it was a spiritual uh person of it strawberry mint chocolate chip chocolate vanilla number one cookies and cream i'm not mad at that i love i'm not mad at that cream was one of my favorite as kid but anyway vanilla chocolate chip is not up in the mix um and i don't know, like, according to the New York Times, it's because our palates are evolving and we want more intense, exotic flavors. Now, I don't believe anything the New York Times says anymore, so I'm going to go ahead and say it's because our palates are evolving and we like unique and more intense flavors.

And that's going to be my take. But yeah, like, I think that makes sense because if you look at all the things that like you know these like sort of higher end ice cream companies make it's not chocolate chip and also i think we both have the same bone to pick with chocolate vanilla chocolate chip ice cream yeah it might as well be crayons like for the first few seconds it might as well be crayons that like pass through a wood chipper because the chocolate is too frozen. Yep.

Now I've had good versions where the chocolate immediately starts melting in your mouth and fish food, you know, by Ben and Jerry's. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Chocolate fishies.

They go. I actually don't like the chocolate fishies. I feel like they have the same problem that I'm describing here. Like I just generally, unless it's like a different like kind of not to over quote uh brian the editor's non-newtonian substance uh but i i do love it um you know something that's like between liquid and solid and like just kind of melts even though it's been frozen um i'm suspicious of it i do think like magic shell it's like on that line between chemistry

and like witchery um that i don't i don't totally trust right um feel like it's going to eventually kill me but um it's i don't i don't like a hard chocolate in my ice cream no or at least it's not my favorite they get they have the like to your point terrible mouth feel yeah they don't melt in a pleasant way they feel like waxy and they typically have no flavor yeah but the way i eat fish food when i take a bite it's like sunflower seeds like i kind of i kind of sequester them to the corner of my mouth yeah yeah the fish and then then i go then like then my mouth is kind of melted them and then i fucking go in bro i'm and then all the fishies and that's why that side of your teeth is just rotted away rotted yeah my dentist keeps

saying please stop doing it i'm like well doctor i like to leave them in overnight i all right so my kind of unified theory of ice cream flavors this is just for me yeah i need a so generally have a sweet uh preferably non-marshmallow gooey with a sweet preferably non-chocolate solid with a non-chocolate ice cream base i'm not a big fan of chocolate ice cream in general okay oh that's why you don't fuck with fish food and it has you just described fish food has a marshmallow ribbon going through that also it also has like you know caramel caramel ribbon and fudge ribbon i mean it's got so much going on that you can find something you love in a fish yeah yeah exactly but um yeah you know like i i like i like a gooeyness with like you know like there's the uh brambleberry crisp at jenny's that is like

it's like a uh pie crust like a really sweet pie crust yeah like berry filling that shit's really good i just had a uh um powdered jelly donut from them um i like sweet and solid mixed in um but that's because i'm baby and i need i need a baby you know that's okay not all of us from basking in robbins anyone oh shit mocha almond fudge holy shit dude that is definitely that that to me was like a parent ice cream that was that was my mom's favorite but i have come to appreciate it uh if you could just like make the coated in sugar, I would prefer it. Make it almond brittle? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are those

candy-covered almonds called? Candied almonds? No, but they have a shell. There's a name for them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget what they're called, but anyways. Anyways, I know you're yelling at your radios right now. Try and tell me what it is, but I

don't remember. Yeah. So anyway, vanilla chocolate chip. Sorry. Sorry. And apparently like too, in this article, they were saying that a lot of the ice cream makers are like, yeah, we, we, we honestly don't even have room to make that shit anymore. Like it's seasonal.

Like they, now it's like they make it in the summer because that's ice cream season. But like year round, it's like, it's just not moving. The needle really fell off, man. Yeah. Mint chocolate chip though. You know,

it's got the same problem, but it's got the mint to cover it up. And so it's got enough going on. Do you remember when I was, I kept eating that ice cream I was obsessing over is maybe like a year and a half ago. I kept eating this blue ice cream that would die my insides. I was getting it from handles.

It's called blue monster. It's the most juvenile thing i've i love it's it's bright blue ice cream with chocolate like chips ahoy and oreos in it oh yeah that's yes please like cookies in my ice cream any sort of sweet pastry in my ice cream why does it need to be blue and dye your insides because it's blue because it's cookie monster oh yeah yeah yeah i have seen that uh out in in the wild i've seen people eating blue cookie based ice creams yep and yeah i've been very i'm saying to make it that hue of blue you are you basically should just drink like a little bottle of food dye yeah yeah like and that's why fuck you yeah it's blue in blue out bro this much cookie look what we can make you eat um we can imply that cookie monster jacked off in this now why the monsters always

their cum is the same color as their body as with our Grimace milkshake series. Just the laws of nature. It's just how it works, alright? Ask Darwin, alright? Don't ask us. Alright. So, what's the name of the palace that the... Buckingham? Buckingham. Buckingham Palace has issued a statement.

Harry Kane. So there's a massive harry kane uh so this story is a little this feels like the internet is i'm sure i'll be yelled by the internet in one voice but it does feel a little bit like the internet's losing its voice kate middleton's been out of the spotlight for a while after having abdominal surgery in january people are like where is she like okay she had the surgery but she's like still recuperating like they're they're trying to erase her they're trying to get her out of there you know they there was some speculation that she might have been one of the characters at willie's uh chocolate explosion in glasgow That's fucking terrible. The masked character that we'll dig into a little bit more

on tomorrow's episode. But I don't know. The palace said on January 17th that she would be taking a step back from public duties until after Easter following the procedure.

So they told people and I feel like that just got erased. People were like, what the? This is like Shelly Miscavige. They were like, hey, she's going to be gone from this date until Easter. And we were in the period that they laid out and said she was going to be gone for to have a procedure. And everyone's like, did you kill her? What did you do, you sick fuck yeah um

wake her up from that coma yeah people are saying that there are theories that she's in a medically induced coma um but two theories that kate is the mask guy's wide shot guy at willie's chocolate factory yeah um makes sense i mean but isn't i i thought something that like even her parent like her family hasn't seen her. I think that's the layer that has people being. But I don't even know where that comes from. At the end of the day, like it's I don't think it's I don't think it's a fun reason why Kate Middleton is not being seen. It's like, yeah, I just had to go to Turks and Caicos.

You know what I mean? Let my hair down. had to go to turks and cacos you know what i mean let my hair down uh and also abdominal surgery depending on like what it is getting your abdomen cut open uh isn't always the easiest thing to recover from yeah but yeah i don't know i don't know as like because she is a human being i'm like gotta like everybody leave her alone because she's part of the royal family a racist cult who lives off of stolen wealth i I'm like, fair play. And I'm like, she was at the Willie's chocolate experience. That's what it does to you being in the royal family.

That's not even a mask. Um, but you'll note that she's, they never explained like in their statement from Buckingham palace, they say like, Hey, this is what we said was going to happen. She's recovering.

She's doing well. They never say if she is in Glasgow frightening children. Right. Were you thinking of Jordan almonds? Oh, is that what it is? That is a candied almond. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not what I had in mind because those kind of suck. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Have you had one? You don't like them? Jordan almonds? No. I think that's my weird shitty candy that I like. I had in mind because those kind of suck. But yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you had one? You don't like them. Jordan almonds. Now, I think that's my weird, shitty candy that I like. It's just like if you triple lacquered an M&M, got rid of the chocolate. Yeah. Just like matte finish. Yeah. Just like completely candy shelled the shit out of a M&&m without the chocolate isn't it like a shitty

wedding thing that people would usually get like a traditional thing it's like and some jordan almonds yeah i mean they were a hit but they for me they're relegated to the necco wafers those things that are oh shit you're putting them on necco level just candy that is like we we have better like we've yeah yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not saying that's the height of it, but I guess again, I acknowledge their shit. I acknowledge their shit. But you know what? Pardon me.

I like how they make my tongue dry. Right. They're also very sharp on the inside. Yeah, yeah. That's Shelly playing. Chaotic is trending also. Yeah, for the worst reason. Chaotic incident is trending

because we have yet another bit of mainstream media journalistic malpractice. CNN, so... Oh, CNN and the New York Times, yeah. Yeah, CNN, so many people. It says, at least 100 killed and 700 injured in chaotic incident

where idf opened fire as people waited for food in gaza palestinian officials say yeah the wording of that is awful you look you click through to the article on cnn again the lack of like assigning accountability to what happened is really fucking alarming. It says like, um, but let me actually find it says over 100 killed. Oh, so now then. So like they have a bunch of different ones said a hundred people died while were died while waiting for food as if it sounded sounded like people were just dying of starvation, when the story is that Israeli forces opened fire on a food line. Jesus Christ.

And there's a lot of back and forth. We're like, well, the Palestinians are saying this, and the IDF is saying this. I'm going to go based on a journalist who is saying this is what happened, basically saying that people were getting around these food like these aid convoys that were getting near to deliver food uh and some of the trucks had hit people and in the chaos just things ramped up and then suddenly these soldiers are opening fire on civilians who are starving yeah you're so the people are starving they You put them in a place where they might receive food and then start shooting if they don't act orderly.

Right. Because they're starving. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, yeah, I don't know. It's just like chaotic incident is so alarming, so disturbing. Right. Yeah.

We're talking about a massacre. Yeah. We're talking about a massacre. Yeah. Like any other, if you look back in a historical event where civilians are killed in mass like that, it's not like there was some, I'm seeing no reports of there being some kind of armed standoff. Right. Aside from something happened where they decided to just indiscriminately shoot into a crowd. 100 people dead, 700 injured. Yeah. 700 injured yeah our recent guest ala karakatsanis was pointing out that this is a language that is also frequently used what in police kill right in the u.s yeah like that's chaotic person dies and you weren't there it was chaotic so yeah yeah yeah um uh this is just all and again like this

this is now affecting according to the white house it said this is certainly going to complicate ceasefire negotiations. I mean, just as people looking on at what is unfolding, it seems pretty straightforward that the president needs to be being more forceful about a ceasefire i see a lot of also people who are being online who are saying like well obviously things like this like diplomacy foreign policy stuff like this isn't going to happen unfold in front of your eyes on tv or on social media there's they're doing everything they can behind the scenes but to see this kind of like unrestrained violence uh just taking place so frequently it's like i'm not what is being said uh and it's just like my god like you could at least as president be even more forceful i know he says like yeah we're calling for a ceasefire but on the other hand you you know joe biden at the start of this was like we'll give israel whatever they need to do this um and yeah so uh we're continuing to live in a hellscape where the media is just doing all the heavy lifting for

these regimes um as innocent people's just entire families are erased it's yeah 2024 yeah all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back this summer the nation watched as the republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

we are back there's a sort of-ish article piece of reporting. Oh, because it's so anecdotal, right? It's just so anecdotal. It's like somebody's like, yeah, my kid said my name is old. Print it.

Print it. It's in BuzzFeed. The headline is basically millennials your names might be considered old people names by the youths them these days so just let's uh yeah that's fine that's fine i don't give a shit i like truly i grew up with the oldest of old people names in the bible when my name no jack when i was a kid the only people named jack were me and people who were in there like over the age of 60 it's it was like nobody had the name jack except me and like my grandfather and my grandfather's generation it was just like an old ass person's name yeah for a lot of the it came back in the 80s they had a i know yeah now it's back but like for a while i don't know

like who gives a shit yeah it's but it's people are so obsessed with being young but anyways we've got names like ashley amanda amber um somebody pointed out on social media, if you got a shout out in Mambo number five, congrats, you now have a granny name. That's messed up. There's a lot of Jessica. As opposed to, so the young people's names are Scarlett, Charlotte, Olivia, Penelope, Isabella, Bella, Ella, Ella, Ella, Ella, Umbrella, Ella.

But yeah, Erica, Samantha, Amanda, Ashley, Jessica, Jesse, Jess. We got bad news, Brittany. I mean, who, I guess if we compare the names, what puts you on more of a watch list by getting a shout out on Mambo number five or DMX is what these bitches want. I don't remember the part where he gives a shout out. Brenda, Leticia, Linda, Felicia, Dawn, LaShawn, Inez, Alicia, Teresa, Monica, Sharon, Nikki, Lisa, Veronica, Karen, Vicky Karen definitely Cookies, well I met her at the ice cream parlor Tanya, Diane, Lori

and Carla, Marina, Selena Katrina, Sabrina about three Kims, Latoya and Tina I think that's, you're more safe if you were called out on the DMX track than Monica, Erica, Rita, Tina, Sandra, Mary, Jessica. That's the one that really seems like the kids go hard on these days.

Jessica is catching hands in this article. A lot of, yeah. It feels like it was just a person who doesn't like someone named Jessica. My daughter says, your name sucks shit. was like it my daughter says your name sucks shit but isn't it like almost like a mathematical fact that every person who is probably like a millennial elder millennial knows a jessica or went to school with a jessica yeah like a six degrees of kevin bacon for jessica yeah like i i was telling you like i dated three people named jessica like in a row once when i was a teenager he certainly has a type and weirdly it's people named jessica oh can i help you no i'm fine

well i'm jessica if you need anything what your name's jessica i don't think i ever dated a girl named jessica katie was over over sampled in my dating history yeah yeah that was a big one but katie's kind of always around i feel like wow they said jesse's jess britney's are catching strays ashley's erica's samantha's wow i remember heather really going off a cliff like even as i was a kid it was like big in the 80s and then by the time i was a teenager, people were like, By the way, just FYI, everyone, Heather is washed. If your name is Heather, you might want to change it. Yeah, please get into this nondescript van where you'll be whisked away to washedville.

That's why, I mean, I've been trying to do this for a while, but I'm thinking of changing my name to Cade Matrix. I feel like that just more fits my vibe. Yo, Cade Matrix sounds like an NFL quarterback who's addicted to games though. You're like, if Cade Matrix could just put the controller down, this

guy would be, he'd be coming for Tom Brady's title as GOAT. But unfortunately, I'm just always in my gaming chair. You know any Cades? I see that name pop up a lot on social media as like a name. I don't know any Cades personally. I've heard it at like the playground, you know.

Like I feel like it's coming back for sure. Is it all because of Cade McNown? Yeah. Remember that guy? Cunningham, I would assume. Who's Cade McNown? Cade McNown? Yeah. Remember that guy? Cunningham, I would assume. Who's Cade McNown? Cade McNown, dude? Football quarterback? Oh.

He played for... I think I only remember him because he played for UCLA. And he had like... He fell off hard after that. Yeah. All right. Well, sorry to you if having a name that is no longer on trend. To us, it's fine.

Doesn't matter. It's fine. I feel like your name is going to be cool for probably got another at least 100 years. It's got mileage. It's creeping up the charts. It's got mileage. I mean, this guy has been talking about how cool his name is for so long that he has little cliches that he dropped exactly man exactly uh and game sent

speaking of my new career as kade matrix speaking of my new career as kade matrix professional gamer and football player oh hell yeahScent is a new device that, I mean, there's no reason this should be an AI device, but they are using that to sell it. A new AI device that lets you smell game worlds while playing.

Do you, like, strap a box? Oh, wait, it's a box you just leave in front of you. Yeah. Okay. Like, sure. wrap a box oh wait it's a box you just leave like in front of you yeah okay like sure like what are they they said it well here's some of the game yeah what are the sense that you can get from here yeah i think you're gonna know you're gonna just get a sensory memory for all of these um you of course have gunfire uh you have great Which smells like a fireworks display, probably. You have explosion.

Let me stop you there. This is already so dystopian that there are people who would hook up a fucking tiny odor box while they play games. Like, oh, that's what, you know, just wanted violence. It smells like. Two of the three so far are gunpowder essentially um you've got racing which i like that is that just gonna be gasoline what do we what kind of what level what kind of octane we talk high octane well we're talking uh riding lawnmower racing what is it uh quote clean air that that's the only one that's in quotes for some reason that is

just that might be the most dystopian of all imagine get to create the illusion that you're playing a video game in a world with clean air oh wow i remember that yeah those were the days. Storm. I feel like an artist, I would trust an artist to create the smell of storm. I would not create game scent, a box that you put in front of your TV. I feel like storm is just going to, that's like if you get a car freshener, a car air freshener that's scented as storm.

It's like, oh what this just tastes like it's available now yeah jack can you buy one for the show and i'll um yeah i'll do a heart factory reset on my brain while i just hold it to my this is how we pull you out of the heart factory reset hey set it to fresh air then then explosions, then storm. Yeah. Storm and forest would be good if you were really, if this was being created by the foremost scientists at MIT. But I feel like in the hands of somebody who is just releasing a box and being like, yeah, I don't know, tell them there's AI in there, this is going to smell like shit.

Yeah. And apparently there's apparently there are there's gonna be updates in the future including sports arena fresh cut grass and blood why yeah because i want to play left for dead my zombie game and be like yeah dude i'm glad i can smell the rotting corpses I'm exploding with my shotgun. Jesus. I don't know, man. Also, like, kids aren't going to be able to lie anymore if they tell

their parents they weren't playing games. Hey, I smell gun up there. I smell explosion. Alright. Well, those are some of the things that are trending on this Thursday, February 29th. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
