From Campside Media and iHeart podcasts, listen to Go Boy on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello the internet and welcome to this episode of Chick Trends Jockey.

Oh boy. Like chicken jockey, the thing that all the kids are talking about and that I totally understand. My name is Jack, that over there is Miles Gray. Yeah, yeah, you guys should check Jack's Instagram for when he posted the Chicken Jockey video. He was eating a Popeye's drumstick

through the little dick hole window of a pair of jockey underwear. And he went, Chicken Jockey. And then, yeah. Miles was wearing the underwear, was. Did you? And then yeah, Miles was wearing the underwear was Piece of viral TDZ contact goner I Is like how did you get that? Hey, man? I don't just it's a bit It's a bit I just saw a headline about how a guy was sniffing with like dirty socks and he got a lung infection

What yeah, it's very is it from the Daily Mail Look man, I stay up on the latest sock sniffing- This is actually in Vice. Health news. Yeah. Anyway, man hospitalized after sniffing his own dirty socks and growing fungus in his lungs. Wee!

Damn. I do smell my dirty socks, you know. Like once they're off, just to be like, these are dirty, right? Like even though I know they are, I do smell my dirty socks, you know, like once they're off, just to be like, these are dirty, right? Like even though I know they are, I'm like, but how dirty? And the only way I know is if I duct tape it around my nose and mouth and keep it on there for 15 minutes.

Huffing that shit like Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet. Oh. Jesus Christ. Oh man, it's good to be back. He's back. What I mean. So last time I was out of the country for a couple of weeks, Biden shit the debate stage and Trump got shot in the tippy top of his ear.

Time before that, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. This time, I feel like Chicken Jockey was the main thing that I missed. Came back, everybody's talking Chicken Jockey. Everyone's, hey man, everyone's talking Chicken Jockey. And everybody is talking about Chicken Jockey. We mean constitutional crisis. Oh right, constitution. And also the world, the global economy on the brink.

We can just get deported. Oh, I guess that's the constitutional crisis. Yeah, economy teetering. Oh, there's multiple. I mean, there's another constitutional crisis where, you know, Trump banished the Associated Press for not acknowledging Gulf of America. And a court was like, yeah, you can't do that. Like, reinstate them. They still haven't done it.

Then you have the Abrego Garcia case with the man from Maryland who was deported to El Salvador. And then, you know, the Supreme Court being like, yeah, he should have never left. What are you doing? Now, Chris Van Hollen, the Senator from Maryland, has written a letter to President Bukele and is like, I'm pulling up and want to see what's going on. So we'll see how further this crisis deepens. But that was a nice moment to see a Senator now being like, nope. Isn't the Trump administration actively ignoring a 9-0 Supreme Court?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a- But they're like, they're spinning it to his face. It's like, yeah, they agree with you, 9-0. What the- It's like, dude, we're fucking, Jack, go back, go somewhere else. Stanley Tucci and all crisis.

Yes. Don't know what that is, but I like it. Like Stanley Tucci. But it involves Italian food. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, for sure. If you leave again, Sure, man.

We got to see what happens. Jack, just maybe take, let's take a quick trip, man. Let's just keep, let's just speed run this shit. Let's. See if we can reset this thing. Let's hit a hard reset. All right, so that's what I missed, a quick run through. What's happening now? We got the Trump administration demanding that Harvard and MIT start getting in line with MAGA.

Yeah, you might wanna to try and fit yourself for some new knee pads, man, to get on your knees and beg the Trump administration for your little money, right? Because yeah, both Harvard and MIT are basically saying, fuck no to the demands of the Trump administration. Trump, again, we've seen this from the beginning of this year since his administration began.

He's on a mission to go after academia since having only one way of thinking is one of the first boxes you need to tick as an authoritarian. So having schools teaching shit like science or laws, big no-no, big no-no. No, we don't need people. I mean, certain laws are all right.

I don't know. Yeah. I'm like, well, we're not allowed to have difference of opinion that I only like five of the laws? No, I mean, it's wild because the things that they were demanding were essentially this. So this is what's been happening, right?

The Trump administration puts together a goon squad, and they go like, we're looking for woke stuff at this school, or quote unquote, anti-Semitism. The Israeli government. Yeah, more, but even then it's like you're teaching about critical race theory. You know, that's still, that's still a thing too. Okay. That they're like, when that happens, like, oh, we've found it.

Now we are going to threaten your funding unless you do these things, which essentially makes the Trump administration completely in charge of your university from who you can hire, who you can fire, what the administrative staff looks like, the students, the curriculum, all of that. That was a bridge too far for Harvard and MIT. We're like, no, then we cease to be the institution that attracts all these fine thinkers and lots of money. And Columbia did do this, right?

They got 400 million stripped away. They said, fine, we'll let ICE come on our campuses and just terrorize our students and you can have cops just bad up anyone you want. That backfired completely. They, they've bent the knee and now they're not even, they're not even in a better position. They're worse off now. So I think Harvard and MIT probably saw that as an example. And be like, yeah, dude, this is like, fuck all this. Like, we're not going to compromise, you know,

at least what we have left of a constitutional right to teach people what we say that. And if you want to take the $2 billion grant away from the school, as Trump has threatened to do, just, they're like, yeah, we're at Harvard. We have $53 billion in our endowment. I have long been like, what is that 53 billion dollar endowment possibly for?

And now I have my answer. It's I guess. You think, you hope, right? Yeah. Because this is. Truly no excuse not to just remain independent from a authoritarian regime. I feel like that would be bad for the old brand.

If you're consulting me, Harvard and MIT, I'd say, you know, just giving in, pre-registering early application to fall in line with the Trump administration, probably bad for your brand. Bad for your brand, and yeah, they're, you know, now Trump sort of counter to them being like, well, fuck you, we've got money, is perhaps Harvard should lose its tax exempt status and be taxed as a political entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist-inspired slash supporting, quote,

unquote, sickness. Remember, tax exempt status is totally contingent on acting in the public interest. Right. Yep, yep, yep, yep. So we're just throwing terrorism around. Terrorist inspired sounds like when you look at like a deceptive like apartment listing in LA and they're like, it's Beverly Hills adjacent.

Terrorist inspired. Terrorist inspired. We have a terrorist inspired tasting menu. Yeah. Miles, have you dined with us before? No, no. What do you guys do here? Do a little bit for me.

Oh, it's a thing called, that you've never heard of, called Hop-Off style. Oh, so you just spit all over my face. Sorry. Yeah, okay. That seems bad, Miles. Yeah, I mean, at the very least, I mean, so many institutions have just been preemptively rolling over.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, I'll look at that and be like, yeah, that's the least you can do is not be like shook that the $2 billion go away when you have 53 and you have like over 100 billionaires as your alumni You might be able to cobble together a couple couple, you know pennies Americans view of Israel is Majority unfavorable for the first time in the history. I think you guys probably covered that No, no, I think that was yeah yeah. That was a new Pew poll that said that unfavorable view of Israel for the first time. So I feel like these policies will get more aggressive because of that.

Well, yeah, and it's so transparent too, and like they're calling out like, like what, what the exact wrong thing is. You're like, oh Jesus, like what happened to it? Like even like that's where the MAGA people were like, what happened to like America first? Yeah, yeah. No, it's funny, no, no, it wasn't about y'all and your racism, I mean a little bit,

but there's a, it's about taking your money. 1984's like vision of authoritarianism with like double speed was just like, that's too much artistry. There's like too much work being put in. They're like, no, we're not going to bother with that. Yeah, there's no doublespeak. It's just like if someone gives you like an actual fact, you just go, no. Single speak one word.

All right. Well, here's a cool thing that you can distract yourself with. A.I. doll that you can you can turn yourself into a Barbie doll or a GI Joe with like some fun little like the the things that come with the action figure the little accessories yeah what miles what would your what would your GI Joe accessories be? My GI Joe would be like a soccer ball, a blunt, like a soccer ball, a blunt, a bunch of flats, like chicken wings, headphones. There it is. There it is. And then like maybe like a big sprite or a Baja blast,

maybe, you know what I mean, is my accessory cup. Are you, Brian the editor wants to know what the fuck you're doing with a soccer ball? It's fucking juggling it, dude. What do you mean, what am I doing with it? It's fucking scoring goals. Dude, I'm putting it under my shirt and pretending I have a big belly and I go, whoa.

That's you know my bit, Brian. You've been around me for years. I think mine would be, it's a Mountain Dew, obviously. Mm-hmm. That's it. All right. That's it, that's all I'm willing to reveal. I mean, it's just so wild. Like every fucking week there's like, Hey, AI will help distract you from the collapse of society.

Cause you can now look at a weird rendering of yourself as a plastic doll. Yeah. There's something like, I don't know. I don't know what philosopher would have something to say about this and where we are, but it, Jack, I leave that to you as a class. The plastification.

Like, yeah. Turn yourself into a plastic doll. Yeah. Like, I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do.

I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what you're gonna do. I don't know what philosopher would have something to say about this and where we are, but Jack, I leave that to you. The plastification, like yeah, turn yourself into a plastic doll. You already feel like you're being manipulated by a giant hand and have absolutely no control over your life.

So turn yourself into a little plastic, posable action figure. This trend apparently blew up on LinkedIn because people were like trying to make their boring jobs seem exciting and toy worthy. And so they would put, trying to think like what, so I'm looking at one of these, it's like Suzy, vacay edition, so that's fun.

She's got like some sunglasses and some sunscreen. Like a Fanta? A Fanta or a tab? I can't even. It's Fanta, but it's also AI. So nothing like kind of looks like anything. You're like, I think. One woman's marketer and it's just like multiple computers.

Dude, hers looks like hell. Yeah, hers just looks like straight up hell. Calendar. A giant drink. One of those like giant. Multiple monitors? Yeah, and like, wait, you gotta have the Stanley Quencher. You know what I mean? just to keep it real.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although this one doesn't even look like a toy, just like a photo. It looks like someone, like- Yeah, they did a shit job with this. Kind of looks like M. Threegin a little bit, the hero of the movie, Megan. M. Threegin.

M. Threegin, which M. Threegin part 2.0 come into a theater near you. Oh, yeah. They should have called him M. Tugin. I guess my character would also have diapers for the under the arms. Like there would be obviously be a stained t-shirt. Oh yeah, or your action figure would have like,

it comes with real life panic sweating action. It's like you press up on it, it's like pss, pss, pss. Yeah, like those dolls that piss themselves. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although mine would also have that too. It would both as itself and. And Although mine would also have that too. Both as itself and you would have a water. Ice too. Yeah.

It was the water ice. I swear to God it was the water ice. All right. But yeah, so this is just, I don't know, it's a upsetting trend that people are pointing out. There are privacy issues because to obviously to generate the AI doll, you have to submit a full body photo of yourself, plus all your personal data that's used to generate the box and accessories.

Also a full DNA workup to make the tiny version of yourself that will live inside a box inside Sam Altman's home. Yes, yes. But, yeah. I think that one's optional. Yeah, the's home. Yes, yes. But yeah. I think that one's optional. Yeah, the DNA one. Yeah, yeah. And then there's of course the environmental impact

because the data centers that power this shit consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries. Yeah, yep, yep. In this article, US editor of Tech Radar, Lance Olenoff says, we have a joke in my house that every time we create one of these AI memes, it kills a tree. Right. Fucking hilarious joke, Lance.

Yeah, joke in your house, yeah, that you yell at your weird roommate and they go, what? Why? Stop it. It's like I killed a tree. Look, I'm with Totoro from Ghibli, but we're getting pizzas at Uncle Iggy's. Hey, yo, Uncle Iggy's. Yeah, so it's probably more likely

that it's killing people in the future. Like every one of your memes kills an actual person, but just, you know, they're not alive yet, so you don't, maybe more than somebody who is alive, I don't know. It's like that box metaphor, you know, there's that like thought experiment, okay, that you like press a button, you get a million dollars, but someone somewhere in the world dies,

except instead of getting a million dollars, you get a shitty meme of yourself as a GI Joe. Yeah. Ugh. Anyways, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. The championship is back in the Bay for the first time in 40 years. On the new limited podcast series, Dub Dynasty, we hear from head coach Steve Kerr on how Steph Curry

Sonoro and iHeart's MyCultura podcast network present The Setup, a new romantic comedy podcast starring Harvey Guillen and Christian Navarro. The Setup follows a lonely museum curator searching for love. But when the perfect man walks into his life... Well, I guess I'm saying I like you. You like me? He actually is too good to be true. This is a con.

I'm conning you to get the Delano painting. We could do this together. To pull off this heist, they'll have to get close and jump into the deep end together. That's a huge leap, Fernando to do to you to do. But love is the biggest risk they'll ever take. Fernando is never going to walk as much as he loves in this job.

That painting is ours. Listen to the set as part of the my culture podcast network available on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And Jimmy Kimmel, you know, a lot of people have been trying to figure out why Trump won in 2016.

Jimmy Kimmel got it figured out. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. A lot of people have been trying to figure out why Trump won in 2016. Jimmy Kimmel got it figured out. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I've always thought of him as like my main thought leader. He's the one with the beard. He's not Jimmy Fallon, which the first half of this story as I was reading it, I was picturing

Jimmy Fallon. Does Kimmel have a beard right now? He did for a while. I know he rocks a beard every now and then. He's the Oscar host guy. He's um, who like makes fun of Trump. Adam Carolla's best friend? Yeah, that's right.

Jimmy Kimmel from the Man Show? He's a big Democrat. He's uh, you know, on the right side of things. And that he thinks Trump is bad news. Stinky. Orange Cheeto man. And that's the limit of his critical thinking. So he said, for me personally, as I've grown older,

as I've matured, I won't make a joke that I wouldn't make if a person of that color or persuasion was in the room. So, hero of that color. That's how I look at it. I think a lot of the outrage is completely manufactured and it's like a lot of these people who are angry aren't really angry So if they're angry Can't be something that I'm angry about like that. They they're pretending to be angry if it doesn't make me angry It can't be because they have a justified reason for being angry, and they've just had a different lived experience than me. It has to be that they're just pretending

to be angry. And then he says, and this is the thesis statement that will be studied for years, I think these liberals who've done such a good job of viciously attacking comedians are a big part of the reason why Trump is the president right now. Oh, welcome to the resistance, Jimmy Kimmel. Ning, ning, ning, ning, ning, ning, ning, swish. We're here because you guys were viciously attacking comedians. You're too mean to my friend Adam Corolla when he was doing his hilarious material about

how women are stupid. Yeah, there's clearly a culture war dimension to it, but that is such a convenient oversimplification that completely absolves the Democratic Party of any wrongdoing and just makes like, it's just a liberal culture, man. I don't know what you would, that's what did it. It wasn't the fact that they completely fumbled the bag in terms of leadership.

Yeah, sure, man. Cool. Thanks, Jimmy. Yeah. So he's good. Yeah. You got it figured out. There's a new Ari Aster movie coming out that is about Joaquin Phoenix as a right wing sheriff,

small town sheriff in the midst of the COVID pandemic. So I don't know. That's the guy who made a midsummer hereditary movies that it's names I can't pronounce. I pronounce weird for some reason. And then Bo is afraid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I haven't seen the trailer, but was Pedro Pascal's also in this?

Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone. Okay. I don't know the trailer, but was Pedro Pascal's also in this? Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone. I don't know. Looks interesting. It's like it feels like the big directors are like doing their this political moment movies this year. We've talked about how Paul Thomas Anderson has a Leonardo DiCaprio movie coming out that's like post Civil War America. Yeah. So, should be interesting.

Should be interesting. We'll see, we'll see Ari. And then of course, big news. There is a mysterious tower in Area 51 that has appeared overnight out of nowhere and people are asking questions. So how do they see that it appeared overnight? Like people are at area 51 and they're taking photos?

It's on Google Earth. Oh, and it appeared overnight? It just showed up on Google Maps recently. Okay, so all right, I guess I'm reading here that it was seen back in Eight years ago, okay, so it has been there for eight years, but that's still okay This YouTube video actually says ten years old There's one from 2010 so that would be 15 years ago. No, it's actually looked the same.

Yeah, so this is just one of those internet stories that just like pops up and people are like, this is mysterious because it said that this was a mysterious overnight thing that happened overnight in 2010. People just keep circulating that, but it's probably, nobody knows exactly what it is. Some people are like, this looks like the monolith from 2001.

Alien technology, right. It, I don't know. Maybe it's a fucking exhaust tower. I have no fucking idea. Yeah. Everybody's like, that's so many things. Like the things that look like the obelisk, like the obelisk is just a fucking rectangle. Like skyscrapers, gravestones, candy bars.

They're all secret alien technology. It's so dumb though too because this all hinges on like, and it just appeared overnight. And now that that's not the case, now what do you have to fucking say about it? Uh, I don't know, dude. Still weird, dude. You tell me that's not weird. So I don't know. Area 51, by the way, is like the whole obsession with area 51 as alien narrative actually has helped distract people from the fact that like we kind of The whole obsession with Area 51 as alien narrative

actually has helped distract people from the fact that, like we kind of, we know at least one of the things that happens there. They take technology from other countries that has been found on like battlefields and then try to reverse engineer it. So it's basically the plot from, it's like what they said in Independence Day, but just insert

You know other nations armies instead of Yeah, it's it's a little yeah military industrial complexes reverse engineering lab. Yeah, that's what it is But also they like just burnt a bunch of shit out there one time But also they like just burnt a bunch of shit out there one time And I guess not one time just like consistently and the toxic smoke was nicknamed London Fog and People suffered skin and respiratory illnesses as a result of inhaling it Just like burning like random material like is just a good way to dispose of it We don't know exactly what they were burning. Probably aliens, Miles, if you had to ask me.

Smoking them even. Yeah. But anyways, it's just that they get to hide that stuff behind a layer of secrecy and where we come up with the most interesting possible explanation when the reality is just like, I don't know, we're trying to like make some money over here by coming up with some cool weapons technology. We found half a drone on the ground and we're just trying to figure this thing out. And then we got some of our best techs on it. Then we tried to smoke it.

Try to- What are you doing? My cousin kind of smoked some meth and then took it apart and then tried to figure it out. And then he gave me a couple of tries to do it. Yeah, we still don't know what it is. I mean, Area 51 for me will always be that midway arcade cabinet shooting game where you were cruising through Area 51

and you're having to fucking deal with these aliens, bro. I know the cabinet. I never played the game, but I did always. You never played Area 51? No. Love that shit. There'll be this time where you go to the, they would go to the control tower and if the camera would pan up, there would always be a bonus box up there. And if you hit that, you would get the machine gun off.

Wow. Damn. Brian the editor said, Jack is clearly a time crisis guy. Oh, Namco guy, huh? All right. I just wrote in that, uh, I just played pong in the corner. Sweat a lot. Um, at the sit down like 70s arcade. That was like sort of like that table you just look down on.

Yeah. The one that is just a table. Yeah. With a little window glass window in it. Yeah. I miss that. That shit is such that shit is so like ingrained in my dentist's office. I was like, well, I remember it was like at this like weird like fucking, I forget, I think it was like a place where my dad would go to swim or something. Like I just remember going and there being like this weird machine. In the men's locker room.

Oh, video game. And I was like, this thing fucking sucks. What is this? The controller is one of those ball, rolly ball things. Or like a fucking dial. Like we were just like turn left or right. I remember this one was always be broken and shit. Whatever.

Anyway, Area 51, we love you. We love you. We love them, don't we folks? All right, those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines while you still can. Get your flu shot. Don't do nothing about white supremacy.

And we will talk to you tomorrow. Bye. Bye. The championship is back in the Bay for the first time in 40 years.
