Hello, everybody, and welcome to this afternoon episode of Butrendio Sokka. Yes, yes, that is a little bit of inside baseball or I guess football in this instance because

yes, Arsenal's beloved winger Bukai Osaka, number seven, did come back against our win against Pullman and scored actually. It was beautiful and I was in tears. Okay? I'm not going to lie. You still crying? He fucked up his hamstring. He was out in our fucking, our season took a shit because we had no attacking options

and he came back and he scored and he's our very own. He's our star boy. Shout out Vanadium Silver, you know, and other gooners that listen to this show. And I know gooning means something completely different on the internet, but this is for people who support Arsenal, the Gunners, and the supporters are called gooners, okay?

Nothing to do with some other shit. And if it does, go ahead, that's you, do you. But in this instance, I'm talking about that. Anyway, I'm Miles Gray, and I'm, you know, I'm joined by Jacquees Neal. Hello, Jacquees. Hello. What is up, Miles Player? Good to see you. Good to see you. Always good to see you. Let's get into what is trending today. This is Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025. Liberation Day is trending because as we speak, Donald Trump is just rambling on the White House lawn talking about what the tariffs will be, won't be, who it'll be. We

don't know. We do know that I'm pretty sure farmers will not get any exemptions and this will bring untold terror. So we'll see. We still don't even know what the actual percentages are and how they're going to be applied, but I'm sure that'll be for another episode and we'll touch on that. As well as the next thing that's trending a lot of people are making fun of Elon Musk right now because boy he really he spent 20 million dollars just to lose just to lose and he said and honestly honestly I think we can do better I think we can go much harder yeah I'm making fun of him oh yeah I think oh yeah much much harder much harder. Oh yeah. We should. Oh yeah. If you see Elon Musk, you are duty bound to at least boo. At the very least. Like don't let this dude walk by. Call him a name. Yeah. Shithead. Call him a name. Yeah. Absolutely. Look bro, I'm not trying to baldshame people, but you know, look my hair is gone, but them hair plugs, I bet he'll feel real bad if y'all called out his hair plugs. He would. LeBron doesn't like it.

LeBron doesn't like it. Call him, you know, the muffin man. Oh. Or like, Yeah. Call him like Eon, or like Eon, just mispronounce his name. He'll probably hates that shit too.

Also LeBron, he's got to sort out the back of his head too. Cause I know he'd look, all the plugs were reinforcing the front of his hairline. Yeah. But then the back now, LeBron, I know you don't have a mirror were reinforcing the front of his hairline. Yeah, then the back now LeBron, I know you have a mirror. Do you think do you think because remember like like six seven years ago? He after the finals he shaved his head and people's like, oh, he's finally like Didn't do you think because like his number is 23 He's always compared to Michael Jordan. Do you think the only reason he won't let it go

is because of Michael Jordan? And he doesn't want one more thing to be compared? Either way, you are still gonna be compared because all the goats go bald. They do, and he is too. He just won't let it go. He won't let it go. And it's fine.

It just looks sometimes, look, man, just embrace it, bro. Like as much as I think about there are many times I'm like, yo, I go to just spend way too much money for something so superficial and every time yeah Hell no, I'll give a fuck I think it doesn't work on black men as much as it works. It's hard in But yeah, the kind of hair is different like cuz you gotta keep it short You do you got to keep it short and I think you can't tell me he hasn't paid to try. Who has the best black hair plugs?

Who has them? Yeah. I don't know. I'm trying to think of who, what blacks, I mean, they say Jalen Rose has fake hair. Jalen Rose got fake hair? But Jalen Rose wore a hair piece though. That's more like a wig. That's what I'm saying.

It's a hair piece. That's not the same thing. That's like some Steve Harvey shit. Yeah, yeah. It's either a piece or nothing because the plugs. The plugs don't work. I don't know, the plugs don't work. The plugs don't fucking work.

See, that's why we have beautiful black skin that you can, and your head shape is beautifully shaven. His head shape is good too. Yeah, Shane Badier is a fucked up scout. But he went bald, he said fuck it. Yeah, and the shit looked like a shaved Chow Chow's face, but that's all good. That's all good. Anyway, where were we? Oh yeah, we're talking about Elon Musk.

Yeah, call him a shithead. Call him an asshole. What else is trending? The Supreme Court. Look at them. They're doing the thing where they're trying to kind of duck and cover because they've enabled this monstrosity known as Donald Trump. They have actually sided with what is left of the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, because basically what happened was during Joe Biden's administration, he denied an application from a Dallas-based company to sell like vape juice called Jimmy the Juice Man in peachy strawberry and suicide bunny mother's milk and cookies. That also sounds like the worst

Milk and cookies. That also sounds like the worst. Suicide bunny. Suicide bunny. Mother's milk and cookies? Yeah. I would eat that. They were basically, there was a dispute over that and they're like, they went way too far and the Supreme Court was like, nah, the Biden administration wasn't violating federal law

there, so sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Also, you know, sweet sweet sweet flavored vaping yeah yeah vaping is bad right Brian did mention yet Jamie Foxx does have that tattooed hairline on it really I thought he had a head tattoo I didn't know he has you haven't seen to lining well some well it looks some time well I don't know the way he shows up it's very much like it's drawn on. Okay So I guess I just see him with different hairstyles and shit a lot

Yeah, like I feel like he could still grow hair though, or can he not see I don't know I don't know. I don't think so interesting You know who has the best pair plugs in the game though? Not a black person Antonio Banderas People don't realize those are hair plugs. My man's fooling everybody and he's still there like, damn, like how does Antonio do it? How does Tony flags do it? Tony flags doesn't? My man's still got them good ass jeans. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Or good tickets to Istanbul. All right, and then also, what is trending? Switch 2, Nintendo Switch 2. Are you much of a Nintendo gamer? I'm not a switcher, no. I'm not a switcher. You're more console? Unless it's code switching. But no, I'm much of a Nintendo gamer? I'm not a switcher, no, I'm not a switcher. You're more console? Unless it's code switching.

But no, I'm more of a cons, professionally speaking. I don't do Nintendo, but I didn't know it was this fucking expensive. 450, that's a PlayStation 5. So I'm wondering, do you think, let me ask you, because I know you do Switch, if I'm not mistaken, right? But you also console as well. I'm mostly console and I recently you mostly console yeah do you

think 450 do you think the prices should be comparable between like a switch and a console because they pretty much at this point because I think things Nintendo already has there's such a culture around Nintendo as a console and you can play it on your TV like a console. So I don't think, you can't think of the Switch as just limited to being like a portable handheld. Because- Well, I know that, which is why I'm saying,

I think it should be more, because you can't pick up a PlayStation and take it anywhere. Capitalist Jackie's back, checks back in. Listen, let me tell you, baby. This should be 650. I mean, it should be 650, and a hundred of that should go right to the CEO's pocket.

I think I wouldn't be against the argument that if a PlayStation 5 is 500, a Switch is 550. I wouldn't be against that argument because you can play it on TV. It has a lot of titles. It's very fucking popular. It's a classic brand. And you can pick it up and play it anywhere, which gives it additional features that a PlayStation does not have.

You know who will be against that? Who? The fans. Oh yeah. I'm immediately cancelled from TDZ forever. They'll be like, don't bring this nigga back. No, not this show. I'm just saying Nintendo fans. Anti anti Nintendo, but like, yeah, I don't, it looks. I'm saying that Nintendo should make more money. Yeah, but they're doing fine. They're doing fine.

They're doing fine. They're doing fine. They're doing fine. Yeah, I'm excited. You know what, make it all free. Make it all free. There you go. He's back.

He's back. He's back in his socialist bag. I like it. Rob him. Rob him. Yeah, I mean, it's a, there's like a new chat function on it. It looks, I don't know. I'm ready. Listen. I also, I lost my my you know, I lost my switch in the fire. So yeah, I'm in the market I'm in the market. So this definitely appeals to me from it appeals to you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah

And I think everybody Nintendo send this man a switch for free. Yeah, June 5th. Come on now give it to me for free Two weeks before June days away for June.eteenth. I was on the same track. And is your first show a week after Juneteenth in Texas? It is. I was thinking about that. And you're in Texas. And I'm in Texas. The home of it all, baby. Listen, all the black people in Texas,

make sure you come to my shows. You better. Exactly, Juneteenth plus seven is the name of the show. That's how they talked about D-Day, like D-Day plus one, D-Day plus two, D-Day plus, I think it's the same thing. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll talk about some other kinds of,

all kinds of things happening right after this. ["Spring Day"] Something unexpected happened after Jeremy Scott confessed to killing Michelle Schofield in Bone Valley Season 1. I just knew him as a kid. Long silent voices from his past came forward. And he was just staring at me. And they had secrets of their own to share.

Um, Gilbert came. I'm the son of Jeremy Lynn Scott. I was no longer just telling the story. I was part of it. Every time I hear about my dad, it's, oh, he's a killer. He's just straight evil. I was becoming the bridge between a killer and the son he'd never known. If the cops and everything would have done their job properly, my dad would have been in jail. I would have never existed. I never expected to find myself in this place. Now, I need to tell you how I got here. At the end of the day, I'm literally a son of a killer.

And we're back. Jean-Claude Van Damme. Okay, I haven't thought of him in a long time. He has just been charged with sex trafficking in a Romanian court by the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism because they are saying that he knowingly engaged or alleging that he knowingly engaged in sexual relations with women That were trafficked by a criminal group It took place. I guess at the in can like I don't know if it was at the Film Festival

But the actor is accused of quote having received five Romanian women as a gift with prior knowledge that they came from a group of traffickers Hmm with prior knowledge that they came from a group of traffickers. Hmm. No, JVD is, uh, it's some shit. JVD, yeah. What is it with Romania? It's like, everybody go there to sex traffic, it feels like. I don't know what is going... I mean, it must be something where they clearly felt like

they can take advantage of the laws there to get away with it, but I'm unimagining all the extra tension that is on the country because of the Tate brothers, maybe, makes this, either way, I mean, like you can't be engaging in sex trafficking. What the fuck are you talking about here? But God damn, Jean-Claude, hey man, I'm glad we haven't heard from you because I forgot about you.

I like struggle, it's so funny because he's one of those names that like we remember from childhood. And I'm like, outside of Street Fighter, I don't remember any other Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. I like that yours is Street Fighter. Mine is Street Fighter. Yeah.

I'm like, what else is he in? That like Bloodsport, Hard Target. I forgot all those movies, man. Fucking Time Cop. Yes. Time Cop. Directed by Peter Hymes. His son.

Time Cop was one. Yo, and so while the director of Time Cop, this guy, Peter Hymes, his son is like one of these white dudes who's like all up in the freestyle rap scene, like doing like freestyle rap battles. It's kind of wild. I was like, I remember not hearing from him, like, cause we had mutual friends as like little kids,

little, little kids. And then like, you know, like Facebook kind of like bubbles up names again, like back in the day. And I saw him and he was like at the center of like these like freestyle rap battles like kind of like King of the dot Kind of acapella rap battles very strange while there's time cop then there was the one with Dennis Rodman. Oh, that's right He did do a movie with Rodman. What was that called? Double team double team double team shit Okay, it's all coming back. What's that song? It's all coming back to me now.

That's not how it goes. All coming back, all coming back to me now. Yeah, that's it. All right, okay. Okay, I just needed to be, I needed to hear his sex trafficking first. And then be reminded of all the movies that he was in. Double impact is the other one I was thinking of,

where he plays his own twin. That was, anyway. So- Can I tell you something funny? Yeah. I just remember this, like literally in a second. So I've done like a few, like over 10 dubbings. Right.

And for anybody who doesn't know what a dubbing is, basically like Squid Game, when it's in English, that's a dub from its original language. So I've done the English dub for a few things. And I was like in an English dub of a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, like two or three years ago. Really? I can't remember what the name of it was.

What kind of dialogue did you have to do? What kind of dialogue were you doing? It was an action movie. I think I only, I think it was, it was a movie. I was a supporting character. And so like, I can't remember the dialogue. And then I know I had to like fight and grunt

and all that shit. I'm like, ah, ah. Yeah. Like dubbing, honestly, you just, you literally go in, you do not know anything about what you're about to dub. And it's basically like karaoke. It's just like a screen in front of you and the lines are like going like in a scroll

and you match them up. Oh, like when you're supposed to hit the words? You're supposed to hit the words, which is why, you know, when Squid Game got all that flack for the dubbing being bad, I was like on the dubbing side. Cause I was like, y'all don't know how hard this is. It's not easy to Yeah to do and then also Whatever the translation is a lot of times does not match up with the English words

And so unless you want the last mercenary that was Brian the editor is out here fucking Investigating you spam the chat with like my last mercenary. That was it. That was the name of it I don't even know if I was credited on it. They don't really credit the dubs, but anyway. And then, so like, unless you want like what I'm saying to continue talking while their mouths aren't moving, then we have to like change the words to kind of make sense within the way that the mouth

is moving so it's not so outlandishly off. So that's why a lot of times like when they be like, that's not what he said in whatever language it is. Yeah, because nothing translates one to one. Yeah, also, and like, it's also guys, it's not hard to read subtitles. That too. It's better too.

I mean, I'm not trying to take your job, but squid game. I don't care. A lot of the time there's just so much more emotion that is evoked even if you don't understand the language, there's just so much more emotion that is evoked, even if you don't understand the language that you can just sort of read the translation and yeah, it makes it. Yeah, it's hard to do because like you are,

because I'm an actor. And so like I'm reading this line and I'm also, but I can't really act because like it would change my cadence, my cadence is different than whatever I'm dubbing. And so it would change my cadence, it would change whatever I'm saying, you know, so like you have to kind of be narrow in what you're doing, where it kind of sounds like what they would say, but it sounds fake and canned because like you can't really act as a performer. Hey, Zeit Gang

challenge, go watch The Last Mercenary and try and find where Jockies is talking and then tag him on an Instagram story so we can see it. Please. Not you, Brian. Not you. I know you're about to. Brian is in the chat saying, on it. No, not you, Brian. I know this guy, you probably already have the fucking film downloaded because you have every movie file fucking known to man. Other things that are trending. TikTok. So they are basically, the deadline is April 5th for TikTok to basically sell the company. So it's no longer owned by a Chinese company or else again, they face a ban in the United States

because this was a law that was passed in Congress last year. So the latest rumor is that Amazon has reportedly submitted a bid to try and buy it, which I'm like, oh, that's all bad. Like you want something, you want a oligarch that's fully booed up with the Trump administration to then take control of another social media platform like TikTok, all bad. Luckily, according to the New York Times, Amazon's bid is, quote,

not being seriously considered. But I'm sure time will only tell because this guy has so much money, he'll maybe just keep upping the amount. Just keep bidding. Yeah. Yeah. But there's definitely other people who are bidding on the company,

like former Dodgers owner, Frank McCourt, and a couple of venture capital companies. So we'll see what happens. You wanna put a bid in? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got like 15 bucks. Yeah, dude. I got about four on it. That's 19. All right. But yeah, we should, hold on. Let me call, let me call Elon. Let me call Elon. We call Elon. Um, yeah, do what do you, what do you think? What do you think is going to happen?

You think, do you think it's gonna, it's tick tock. They have to sell. I mean, they're there. If they want to keep operating the U S they have to sell. I just think, do you think they will, do you think, is it wanna keep operating in the US, they have to sell. I just think- But do you think they will? Do you think, is it done or you think the sale is going to happen? I think a sale is going to happen. I don't think it'll be Amazon.

I think maybe they are a little more wary because of Jeff Bezos and how he's just gonna complete. I don't know. I mean, honestly, why do they give a fuck? They're about to sell it for a fuck ton of money. So there's a, the other person is the founder of employer.com. Jesse Tinsley has also submitted a bid. I've never heard of that, but I have heard of Oracle

and I have heard of Blackstone. God, that would be dystopian. That's probably the one that it goes is Blackstone, the private equity firm. And we just fully embrace all of our, I mean, look, we already have. And then finally, burner phone is trending because an article coming out of Canada

is talking about how US Customs and Border Protection, CBP has the authority to search your phone when you are traveling across the border, including US citizens. And they're saying, and definitely Canadians. This is on an interview on CTV news. She said, in the past, border guards would just use this to look for like drug trafficking or stuff like that,

or like, you know, like problematic child sex images or shit like that. But recent examples that they've seen, guards might be denying people to foreign nationals based on political leanings that they find in their social media accounts and apps and things like that. So one person was like, hey man, if you're worried about it, maybe just carry a burner phone with you when you travel.

Oh, which in a way I think it might be useful for Americans to like, you know, maybe carry a burner phone. Yeah. Yeah. Just in general, you know what I mean? Just in general, you know, you never know. You never know. You might need a burner phone.

You never know when you got to make a deal. Yeah, exactly. You never know. See, and this would be a great time for track phone to advertise on this show Track phone the phone that can't be tracked exactly a gay trap phone I learned about I learned about all that and enemy of the state Yeah, rest in peace yeah, that was a great movie I loved enemy of the state Yeah, rest in peace. Yeah, that was a great movie. I loved enemy of the state Smith movies did that movie make you think like you understood how the government work? Yeah, as a kid who came I'm like, yeah Shit this is what they'd be doing this what they'd be doing ma this what they'd be doing

Look at this. There was also oh that other fucking was a Mel Gibson Wasn't that called Conspiracy? I think. There's one. I know what you're talking about. Yeah, where he was also like kind of off the rails. I remember that was like, back in the day, I was like, that's the Illuminati handshake that he did. So dumb, bro, being 12. So fucking dumb. By the way, I did find, after Brian thought of the movie

name, I searched my email to find the offer for The Last Mercenary, and I do of the movie name. I searched my email To find the offer for the last mercenary and I do know the roll name I could say it unless bro Brian found it already He found the roll name bro. Did you find the clip already Brian? It's already downloading It's a little slow, but I found the English though. It's it will be on the server this Okay, yeah, send me that. Send me that. Yeah, yeah. I truly have never heard anything that I've ever dubbed before.

Your voice shows up in the darndest places. Let me tell you. Yeah, you know. It happens. Hey, some might say you have achieved ubiquity. All right. Well, that is going to do it for all the trending stuff today. We will be back tomorrow with another banger episode where we will be talking about numerous L's
