Yeah. Christopher passes out. Season three. Yeah. Christopher passes out. Killed Cosette. Passes out on his dog and smothers it. And then is it like right as they're about to have the intervention? Yeah, this is like what leads to the intervention. Because, you know, Tony S tony soprano a famous dog animal lover was like that's the part that pissed him off the most not even like that he was abusive

he's like a fucking dog christopher like it's like wait what the fuck you're a murderer dude but very trumpian in that he was high on heroin He sat on his dog and broke its neck and killed it. And then when asked about why he did that, was like, I crawled under there for warmth. No. Well, what'd I say about the dogs? What'd I say about the dogs sleeping on the couch? Like, just keep hopping from excuse to excuse.

Yeah, yeah. As long as it's not me. Well, speaking of our dear leader uh there's all sorts of shit trending uh having to do with the coup uh that they are undertaking uh sloppily um so joe lieberman is trending because somebody got to him uh and he's on mNBC defending the president's right to refuse to concede the election. Jones Day, which is a big law firm that Trump 2020 has employed to help them file these lawsuits, but allegedly the people who work for that law firm uh who are known for taking on like really uh unpopular cases like they they're the people who defend like really you know they're the oj lawyers of uh corporate

law and even they are like yeah we don't really have a an opportunity to do anything here and and also there's like not a case and they're actively like we're also kind of worried we're like undermining the sort of process in this country by taking this on it's a lot of that's the thing that i think with a lot of the talk of a coup and things like that the people that need to have the will to fucking do it don't have don't quite have the will and the ones that do aren't good at what they do so it's just a fucking mess and yeah it you know i think a lot of the for all the talk you know when you have kelly leffler and david purdue who are obviously going to a runoff in the Senate race, they came out and attacked the Secretary of State of Georgia, where they're from, who is a Republican, to say, quote,

they put out a joint statement saying, there have been too many failures in Georgia elections this year, and the most recent election has shined a national light on the problems. The Secretary of State has failed to deliver honest and transparent elections. He failed the people of georgia and he should step down immediately and the secretary of state was like uh first of all man the voters the voters hired me so they will fire me based on how if i'm elected again and also you stalk wall street fucking stalk fucking clowns uh as a republican i'm more worried about the senate and maybe you should be too because y'all are running in a runoff and that could fuck the balance up of the senate which

brings me to the other point is i think a lot of this talk about being like you know like not fully throwing cold water on the president's you know stupid i still won talk is that they like it or not that's the base right now and the only way you're going to motivate people to come out in this runoff that's going to decide the senate is you have to keep this energy up like you have to give people a reason to come out and vote if you're out here be like nah look man trump took an l bro fuck out of here it's done that is not why mitch mcconnell and ted cruz and other republican senators aren't lindsey graham aren't willing to throw water on the whole thing and be like, you're actually destroying our democracy because they want to keep his base

pumped up. Yeah. Because I mean, because also Stacey Abrams is out here also saying, I very much think there's the enthusiasm for Democrats to come out and win these runoff elections because we just flipped the state. And that's the kind of belief voters need to have to come out and vote in numbers again and that is very true so yeah as as fucking scary it is to have these people not do it and how fucked up it all is to ever to see this in real time i mean it seems like more than anything the energy that trump is spending is more just to fuck up biden's presidency as much as possible from where he is um than to to do some i don't know whatever the fuck he's gonna do i think the the bigger risk still is that he's still in control of like you know our foreign policy and

things like that it can go off and do some fucking wacky shit who knows what to try and deflect and distract but i don't know it's a lot of time man there's a lot of time to see you know uh what could happen as we talked about on today's episode i think uh the right wing media flipped out when the clinton administration removed the w's from the keyboards inside the white house like as a fuck you to george w bush which terrible job by them but by the clinton administration but like that was a huge story on the right and then now that it's the republicans fucking up a transition like to the point of invalidating it and allowing rumors to gain and spread like facebook is they i'm apparently just a cesspool of conspiracy

theories saying that you know just basically openly calling for the overthrow of the actual election results yeah and i think that's in the country that's what's dangerous more than if trump can pull off a coup like through legal means which the it's very it's narrowing the possibility of that uh that it's more about undermining biden by saying by getting a ton of people to outright believe that this guy is not the president that's fucking that's yeah fucked up and dangerous the pompeo thing scared the shit out of me we we play it on tomorrow's episode but pompeo being like uh yeah i'm ready for the transition to the second trump administration is scary to the second term yeah what up donald what's up bro i see you doggie um a lot of people think he was joking

apparently hilarious so that's just him having a great hilarious but i think or they're saying like he kind of half was joking but also had to toe the line so it just comes out as like this mismatched fucking weird take whatever either way we gotta have our wits about us yeah yeah because he did mention the electors and i that worries me apple event there was a apple event earlier today where they announced a bunch of shit and we have dj danil on to update us yeah oh wow dragon old tech boy out from the trench now you guys know you're in trouble it's dj danil dj going on that track boy What's up, tech boy? How's the traffic on the M1 going into London? Oh, it's looking real bad, Miles. It's looking like we got some crazy deals. No. So

Apple announced that they're parting ways with Intel, their traditional CPU provider, to make their own chips like they've been doing in the iPad and all of the iOS devices, all the mobile stuff. And they're using these new M1 chips and their brand new announced MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini. And as Apple goes more completely in-house, this is really going completely in-house. There's no more outside contracts that they're doing with anyone to make the products. It's all completely in-house now. So until we see benchmarks, I don't have much to say in terms of performance. I will say that the phones and the iPads and all that stuff perform really well. So they have proven that

their processing devices can be really well made. But every time one of these things happens, every time there's an announcement, I'm like, okay, cool. Let me see what it costs to actually, you know, spec something up. Because that's really what it comes down to is like, how much is all this shit going to cost? And as long as they're still charging $200 for eight gigs of memory, I'm fucking out. I just can't, I can't bang with that at all.

It's just like the price structure that Apple, I don't think anyone can. But like, it's just as Apple goes completely in-house, they push out the consumer market and basically make their entire line of stuff prosumer. Like if you're not willing to drop $1,400, $1,500 on a Mac mini, you're not getting anything of substance. So it's like, I just, you know, as awesome as these upgrades are and as cool as it is to see a tech company like apple be like no we'll skirt this and develop our own technology

i mean it's an awesome eight core processor all this stuff sounds really good but you know it's just prohibitively expensive and that's my take yeah god i hope everyone dumped their intel stock uh you know because that's a that's gonna be a big hit to their business. Yeah, it's definitely not great for all of us stock boys out here. It's kind of wild that they were even still using an external company for anything since they are like the most massive company on the planet at this point. Right.

Yeah, I mean, you know, we'll definitely see how successful it is. I mean, doing so for the iPhones has been great and the iPads as well. Great. I think anybody who's an iPad user is definitely satisfied with how quick or whatever it is. So, you know,

if they can just transfer that exact kind of usage into a laptop, awesome. But as long as it's prohibitively expensive, I don't know. I was all in on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. That kind of blew up in my face. What are those? Are those just like a famous... Are they the new Coke of processors?

No, I mean they were all like Android phones. The brawlic-ass Android phones had Snapdragons in them. Snapdragon was the one. That's the one. Are they the ones that started catching on fire? Yes. That was the battery.

But it was the same generation of like, we got these new processors and this new battery stuff, and then phones started exploding and people were like, it's lit! Okay. That's the update on apple all right anything this wasn't anything to do with the phones or any of the consumer stuff is just the computers that as you said are prosumer is that is that like business facing like you get companies to buy the

the computers for you yeah i mean it's it's more for just for like it's for the person who's going to use it for professional purposes so like if you're a video editor if you if you work in post-production of any kind music production like photo editing podcaster podcasting yes so that that's that's the uh why are you laughing what's up don't slander don't slander the industry bro bro. Not on this show. Not on God's podcast. Yeah, you're right. Not on the God cast.

Need all eight cores to run that Audacity. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Need all eight cores to record a WAV file. Dan works in a warehouse-sized supercomputer to edit this thing, get this out every day. His lungs are great. His cardio is fantastic because he has to run a half mile in between

stations to load the data. Thank you. I think that's something that is completely foreign to the podcast world. I think there needs to be more awareness of the amount of actual cardio I do. We have to buy you a new Fitbit every two months because you should be working the shit out with all your activity.

I got receipts. We have literally had to drive to you to upload our files at various times. Good times. Hey, look, it was the beginning of the pandemic. We were just learning about bandwidth and things like that. Yeah, truly. Happiest season is trending.

Was the number one trending thing on Google for a while this morning. And it's a holiday rom-com that's coming was the number one trending thing on Google for a while this morning. And it's a holiday rom-com that's coming to Hulu in which Kristen Stewart is a gay woman who is in a relationship and then goes home for the holidays to her partner's house. But her partner has not come out to her family yet. And so it's like, this is my buddy, my roommate,

who's an orphan. Looks delightful. Also has some Dan Levy in it. But I do know, I wanted to include this both because it's trending and that is the premise of the show, but also because, Miles, I know you are a holiday movie aficionado oh i

love it i just watched holiday on netflix the other day how was that yeah it's like one of those things or i don't know you know you ever watch a comedy and yeah it's like the jokes are bad to the point where you start getting mad at whoever wrote the script oh yeah why did you why did you write that joke you fucking clown like what the fuck was that you didn't earn that joke like you just suddenly took it super blue for no reason like that's not even matching the tone of the film up to this point there are some jokes like that in that uh but like anything it's like a you know it's just you just put your mind on cruise control i'm into it because uh mary holland i didn't realize she had a hand in writing the script along with clea duvall uh so that'll be interesting um and i think it's just

important these holiday movies are always just about like cishet fucking white people who go to the mountains or you know someone from the big cities going to a small town to shut down or something. And then they realize they love the town, it turns out. So, yeah. Oh, Mary Holland had a hand in writing Happiest Season. Yeah, Happiest Season. Sorry, this film. Yeah, not Holiday. Yeah.

Mary Holland, she was Jonah's girlfriend and veep. And I think maybe wife. Jonah's girlfriend and Veep, and I think maybe wife, but also one of the Wild Horses, Lauren Lapkus' improv group, and just one of the funniest human beings anywhere. She's also in the movie. She plays one of the sisters of the closeted woman. Love to see checks on checks on checks.

You're like, I'm all right. Checks on checks on checks on checks.'re like i'm all right checks on checks on checks i'm also get that producer gig i'm also gonna get uh you know i'm gonna secure that sag check too so shout out to y'all she's also still doing like commercials she pops up in commercials every once in a while i'm like damn okay um that's like funny like because like you know milana vine troop uh yeah obviously come to like massive fame you mean the at&t lily from at&t uh poor poor milana like with like the internet noticing her and then also with like being the face of 5g being rolled out yeah she's on the receiving end of some bizarre uh interactions because of that when like you

have q anon people being like oh so what like you're in cahoots with the fucking deep state to the proliferation of 5g it's like look man i'm just doing a national ad campaign securing the fucking bag now leave me alone yeah yeah um she's great like i she's one of the uh her her performances in those ads are so good that i'm like give her a tv show like i'm like she's one of the uh her her performances in those ads are so good that i'm like give her a tv show like i'm like she's not it's not like she's like the can you hear me now guy who's just like yeah they just gave him a line that caught on like she her performance in that one where she uh has the giant 5g next to her and the guy's like you should make a bigger deal of this and she's like bigger bigger than what I'm already doing?

And her performance is just so good in that. It's also probably something I appreciate because I've seen that ad 300 times. Finally. You're like in an old folks home, just spiraling in a scenario. Big, bigger. Bigger than what I'm doing.

What? Yeah, that's what I'll say. Okay, Mr. O'brien i won't remember my kids or my wife but i'll remember that and then what are you lily from the 5g um and then ken dalanian is trending uh ken d kennedy this is something you saw live you saw i was i was scrolling through the news shows and i believe at the time it was craig melvin talking about how this new bill barr thing what's going on at doj and like we go to kendall anion now and it's like that little delay obviously is now everything's like over zoom, like every news thing is a Zoom call.

Right. And he's there and there's silence. And Ken Delaney is not even looking in the camera. He's just looking down. He's like, fuck, shit. And then like Craig Melvin's like, all right, so we're going to now go to blah, blah, blah. It almost seemed like Craig Melvin didn't hear it, too. It almost seemed like Craig Melvin didn't hear it, too.

And then later on in the hour when they go back to Ken Delaney, he was like, I just want to apologize for any sort of expletives that you heard me say. As I was going through that, my apologies. So going on to this. Yes, democracy rotting before our eyes. I'm assuming because in the comments under the video, a lot of people like, what is what was he seeing? Did he just find out that trump really won um but it was actually probably just his feed went out and he was like yeah and we're also finding out kendall anion kind of a maybe an aggro dude you think you're bill o'reillying it like that shit shit like or i don't know is it to do with

the fact that like you don't know if you're muted and you're trying to figure out because you hate dealing with this shit i remember when there's a camera person fuck all this remote shit or if maybe it's something in his personal life i don't know was checking his fantasy his fantasy score his fantasy score no i i think it has to have been that he thought that the feed was out and that's what he was reacting to. And that's also why he was reacting the way he was reacting. Yeah. But there are some people who.

That regularly happens to us. Yeah. I used to get way more frustrated with technology than I do now. The best is when your internet connection starts to go out and then Daniel and I go, oh shit, it's frozen on Jackson. And we're like, when he comes back, he's going to have his head in his hands going, what the fuck is this? Because it became like a sequence

where you'd be like frozen. Why are you doing this? And we're like, he's gone. And then when your feed comes back, you're like, what the fuck's going on? And by used to getting that, i mean a couple weeks ago when or even like when my shit was going out too this is a little we'll show you how the sausage gets destroyed on this show not even made but like when my internet was going out as i've used my

cell phone to like connect over zoom where i would catch myself i'm like fuck this shit i'm trying to fucking record so i get it it. We've all been Ken Delanian. If it's to do with it. We've all been Ken Delanian. Ken Delay-man. Man. Ken Delay-I-am. I just came up with that on my own.

All right, guys. That's what's trending. We want to thank DJ Danil for joining us for a new patented thing we're calling Tech Beat. The Tech Beat. The Tech Beat. He will create some theme music for that. Gladly.

Yeah, that's going to do it for... Hey, I got that Tech Beat drop ready. Oh, no, we were joking. You fucking idiot. I was going to do it for Tuesday. We're back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves.
