Starting point is 00:03:39 This is a show where we tell you what is trending. On this Wednesday, March 4th, the primaries were last night. We recorded the episode this morning. before we knew the results. And what we get, we got, first of all, got to say a fond rest in piss to Dan Crenshaw's career. Man, one of our favorites,
Starting point is 00:04:09 the guy who made news for having an iPad, making weird Avengers movie trailers where he like can't, like jumped out of a plane and, like, landed on a car and punched through a windshield and pulled woke person out of the car. Yep. And was like, that's right.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Fucker. So his race was a referendum. Like, he got primary from the right. And his race became a referendum on who was more closely aligned with Trump. Like, who could be the best boy for, for Trump and it just basically became an ass-kissing contest that he lost
Starting point is 00:04:58 but not for lack of try it was like more from like bad technique yeah his ass kissing wasn't it could have been bad I mean because he had a lot of work to do because he was he should have shave it's like yeah he was saying shit though too like before where he was like referring to like some like
Starting point is 00:05:15 maga reps as like terrorists and stuff and you know trying to like differentiate but that's the thing guy you can't you can't try and differentiate and then hop back in you look like a fucking idiot and yeah yeah of course all the Maga people could smell it when what was his life if you think I'm not
Starting point is 00:05:31 maga then you're not following me on social media if you think I'm not maga enough then you're not following me on social media that's the reality you're not like then you're not following me on social media like it sounds like you're gonna be like
Starting point is 00:05:47 if you don't think if you think I'm not mag enough then you're like living under a rock. But instead he's like, then you're not following me on social media. Good one, man. I suck it. I suck it playing basketball at school. But at this other spot, dude, you got to come when I'm playing ARC, dude. I'm fucking way, but no, I'm not even on ARC. If you don't think I support Trump enough, then you're not following me. You're not listening to a thing I say. But yeah, this is the best way for one of these assholes to go out because it's like the ultimate humiliation of the, you know, bargain they made
Starting point is 00:06:24 with the devil, just like coming back and, you know, rubbing their face in it over it over again. And they go out just completely without any honor. He was definitely struggling with his own brain. Like half of his brain was like, this is bad dude. Yeah, and he's a military veteran. And so, like, he's having to kiss the ass of somebody
Starting point is 00:06:49 who's like, I like the guys who didn't get kiss. Yeah, exactly. The guys who aren't wearing an eye patch when they come back. That's right. I'm like, well, what? Yeah. That last part of the line he said, I can hear Tim Robinson saying when he's like, if you don't think I'd support Trump enough, then you're not following you.
Starting point is 00:07:04 You're not listening to anything I say. I'm out there defending his policies pretty hard and have defended them in extremely hard places in the past. Have defended them in extremely hard places in the past. You don't even know how to fucking just say you'd like. What does that mean? It's because he can't say, like, he can't with a straight face be like, I fully support the president every single thing that he does to say that I don't is a lie.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And it's an absolute mischaracterization of who I am as a member of Congress. He's like, dude, you don't think I'm defending his part? I was defending him pretty hard. I think he's pretty hard. I think my defense of him pretty hard. And in some pretty hard places. Yeah, because he like, he recognizes that like it's wrong. and so he's like,
Starting point is 00:07:52 this was humiliating for me to defend him in some of these places. But he, ah, Dan Crenshaw. It's like a step more cowardly than the people who were like, I have chosen to step down
Starting point is 00:08:07 and then start criticizing him. It's like they choose to kind of start criticizing them, but then like double back and are like, you know, when the U.S. attacked,
Starting point is 00:08:20 Iran was like, I'm proud to stand unapologetically for this country with President Trump. And it's like, yeah, I bet you are. Yep. Yep. Anyways. Hopefully you'll find another boot to lick, dude. Yeah. Good luck to you out there.
Starting point is 00:08:36 And maybe you'll open a car dealership. I don't know if that's a thing we didn't do. The branding is good. I will say from the icons episode, like he, I feel like, he's got something. He's got something there. Like he can. You call yourself White Nick Fury. You know, maybe he starts doing birthdays.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Nicholas Fury. And I won't do blackface. I won't do blackface. You know, I'm still a respectable guy, but it's me, Nick Fury. Nicholas P-O'd. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like he's real, Nicholas ticked off.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Nicholas angry. Nicholas angry. And other things going on. Obviously, the big one was Tala Rico and Crockett. Tala Rico edged out, Jasmine Crockett. Rocket to be the Dem candidate against either Ken Paxton, who's the Attorney General of Texas or Senator John Cornyn because they're going to have a runoff in May. So they get to spend a whole fuck ton more of money again.
Starting point is 00:09:34 More resources are going to be pissed away for that for their runoff in May. But there was a lot of fucking chaos at the polls because you're starting to see where the how like again, Ken Paxton is the attorney general. And in Texas, the primaries are separated. like by precinct where you don't vote like if you're in the Democratic primary you're not voting at the same place Republicans are voting so suddenly people had to go to a new place this is something recent and again caused a ton of fucking confusion specifically in Dallas County where Crockett that's that's like her that's where her seat is from and a huge bunch of Democratic support is there up and down the ballot and at first there was
Starting point is 00:10:14 a judge ordered the polls in Dallas County to remain open later because people were turned away at certain polling locations. And then Ken Paxton got involved and basically got them to halt that. It was just very, yeah, there was just a ton of reversals. People were not knowing what's going on. They're like, okay, we'll take ballots
Starting point is 00:10:34 and we'll hold them until we can judge the case on the merits and then we can count them afterwards. But yeah, again, did it kind of a thing where it's causing all kinds of uncertainty and could probably create, you know, opportunities for litigation about the outcomes and things like that. And yeah, just having some...
Starting point is 00:10:50 Do you think that the Crockett-Talero-Rico case, is it close enough that it could be swung by them, you know, I don't think so because Jasmine Crockett did concede. Conceit. Yeah. Right at the end of the night, she was like, ah, it's too hard to know. Like, we're not going to know anything tonight. But then she did, you know, then did...
Starting point is 00:11:12 In the sober light of the morning. Yeah, we're going to get behind him. Because right now, he was, as it is, with 95% reporting like a hundred and a thousand votes ahead. I feel like we're going to need to, it's going to be like a real mess to try and vote against Donald Trump in the next elections. Yeah, in a red state is going to be particularly fucked. Again, with everything that's happening with the war in Iran, like, I'm almost certain
Starting point is 00:11:42 they're going to pull some shit. They're going to, like the only option now is to cancel the elections. Right. I don't know. I don't know if there's an offer. ramp because every time you hear one of these people from the State Department talk about or the Pentagon talk about what the fuck's going on they're like you can go forever I don't know honestly we don't have a plan I don't know if you heard Trump like right after the attacks we were like okay
Starting point is 00:12:04 if uh Homania is out then maybe we got these two or three other guys but then they ended up we killed those guys too I'm being told he gives himself like the fake ear like in ear monitor I'm being told uh we just killed them too so yeah yeah it's just that's what's so fucking frightening. We'll talk tomorrow about how it's even more fucking frightening because motherfuckers are out here talking about Armageddon. Yeah, the military is,
Starting point is 00:12:29 there are military leaders who are like, yeah, this is how we bring about the second coming of Jesus Christ. Yeah, there'll be a river of blood. Yeah. You're like, oh,
Starting point is 00:12:38 I don't even know. That's, that's like what's so, that was like the most terrifying thing I think I've heard recently was that, because you knew those people were on the fringes. And clearly like Mike Puckabee is one of those people who's like, war in Israel and bring Jesus back, baby,
Starting point is 00:12:52 that those people are operating in the government. But when we're actually in a fucking kinetic hot war and you're talking this kind of shit, that's, that's, yeah, it's terrifying. And it does feel like, feels like it's working a little bit, like the way the media is covering it.
Starting point is 00:13:10 It is, I mean, it's the thing that we talked about with, you know, Venezuela, like going in there, like, the way the media cover.
Starting point is 00:13:18 that was like an action movie where they were like, here's how it went down. And like now we're getting just like all these like first thinking of an enemy ship by a sub since World War II. It feels like they're like covering it like a sporting event kind of. Yeah. They're showing like the highlight reels of like,
Starting point is 00:13:36 here they are like intercepting a missile with our weapons. And then look at this enemy ship be sunk. A hundred people died and you're fucking treating it like it's a sports highlight. And I think, but the other. side of what do you do because for all the talk like look at them be intercepted that's a that's a very clear plan from iran to be like we're going to get them to deplete all their like defensive munitions yeah yeah yeah that was just fucking around and get and get them to like like rope a doping them basically
Starting point is 00:14:05 yeah yeah but the way the media covers it it takes the tragedy out of it was a rope a dome right they're going to talk about that using sports holes in the air heading into the half time um right But yeah, I feel like this, like, sort of getting on board that's happening with the media is, like, the reason that now Hegsath's like, and we're just getting started, folks, over here. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. Just elsewhere, though, too, just some smaller races, like in Arkansas, blood red Arkansas. Yeah. There was a, so, like, this, like, swing seat, like, Democrat came close in 2024. This Democrat Alex Holiday just flipped a red seat. and overperformed it by 26 points.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yeah. Which is, again, I'm like, that's the kind of shit that hasn't been like, if we're not going to win the midterms, then there can't be midterms. Right. Like, yeah. What? I'm hoping that he pays attention to the Crenshaw thing because, like, Crenshaw was the one candidate in Texas that wasn't endorsed by Trump.
Starting point is 00:15:10 And like, so I'm hoping. I still got it, baby. That gives him the, I still got it, you know? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And maybe that he lets the election happen. We don't know, dude. He might fucking Zoran Mumdani might be like, dude, it'd be really cool if you just let these elections happen, bro.
Starting point is 00:15:28 That'd be the sickest thing you can do. Like, yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree. I think you're cool too. Do you think I'm cool? Totally, man. Okay, okay, let's do it. Should I go?
Starting point is 00:15:36 Should I leave? Yeah, you should go. You should just go. Every time he just like comes through and Alps with him. Did you see the newspaper thing that he did? Do we cover that? Yeah, what was that? Where he held up a thing.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I think it was. was like, was it Gerald Ford? Yeah. Like where it said, Yeah, Ford to cities dropped dead. And then Mamdani made a fake
Starting point is 00:15:56 replica of that where it said Trump to the city. Let's build some housing. Yeah. Like, let's get housing going. And he's grinning so big holding those up. And I'm like, bro.
Starting point is 00:16:07 It's just props, you guys. It's not that complicated. Just give him a fake thing. He's going to be in a fucking, yeah. You just put his face on the cover of Time magazine, and he's like, wow, pretty impressive. It's the scene from Big Lavowski,
Starting point is 00:16:22 where he's, like, going through his, these are Mr. Lobowski's little urban achievers, and then he gets to the next thing, and it's the Time Man of the Year mirror thing. What are you just, like, look, he has that in his trophy room. It's so funny. But that is the sort of shit that works on Trump.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Pretty soon he'll be dressed as fucking George Washington or something, because, like, it'll help him, whatever. just frightening. And then also a piece to state representative Carla Cunningham in North Carolina. She's a Democrat, but she went pro-ice with it. And she got her ass tossed the fuck out. We're like she was the one Democrat who joined Republicans to override the governor's veto of a bill that would require sheriffs to determine the status of inmates and hold them if like ICE wanted to like requested them to detain them. She was the only.
Starting point is 00:17:16 only one after that vote. She tripled down and gave a speech declaring, quote, all cultures are not equal. And the immigrants, quote, must assimilate. Adapt to the culture. Resistance is futile. You are now part of the bore. Yeah. So she got ran out on a rail.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Good for them. Good for them. In a primary? Yeah, yeah. They're like, bro, no, this is get this shit out of here. Not it. Yeah, those are little bits of, you know, green shoots to look at hopefully. Little, little green shoots on the volcanic glass slate of, and you go, wow, grass can grow on this shit?
Starting point is 00:17:59 Yes, so. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hi, this is Joe Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology, natal charts and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini driver. The Irish traveler said when I was 16, you're going to have a terrible time with men.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Actor, storyteller, and unapologetic, Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom-loving and different perspectives, and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood. A son and Venus and Aquarius in her seventh house Spark her unconventional approach to partnership. He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses and different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all.
Starting point is 00:18:54 If you're navigating your own transformation or just want to chart side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, this episode is a must listen. Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast, starting on February 24th on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you've, listen to your podcast. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun. Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Tremaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Termaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth.
Starting point is 00:19:53 For 22 years, only two people knew the truth, until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Natch. And in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan.
Starting point is 00:20:24 He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final Rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom, with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search warrant. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of He Said She Said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. Isn't it a pretzeler?
Starting point is 00:21:11 Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Jay Chetty, host of the on-purpose podcast. I'm joined by Luke Combs, award-winning country music artist, and one of the most authentic voices in music today. Luke opens up about success, self-doubt, mental health, and what it really takes to stay true to who you are when your life changes overnight.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I hate fame, I hate the word celebrity, I hate those words. They make me uncomfortable. But I think when you get to a certain point, the fame or the success or the influence, It just accentuates and exacerbates the inherent person that you are. The guy that says he's always going to be there and that will do anything to be there is the only guy that's not there. I'm in Australia when Beau is born.
Starting point is 00:22:02 My whole identity is that no matter what, I'm going to prioritize my wife and my children. Over my job. I dread the conversation with my son. What do you think you'd say? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the IHeart Radio app. podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back.
Starting point is 00:22:28 And yeah, we mentioned up top. Like there's crazy footage being circulated by the mainstream media of like ships being sunk by torpedoes and drones being intercepted by very expensive missiles that the U.S. is making. And it feels like they're, we'll see how it works out. but it does seem like Iran's strategy is to, you know, outlast U.S. and basically a strategy of survival. Well, and like, you look again, too, with how they're expanding the map to be like, we're going to attack American infrastructure in the Gulf states too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:11 So people start seeing explosions happen around them. It's like, it's just, the thing that blows my mind is just also the lack of thinking. from the Trump administration too. They're like caught off guard with all these attacks on U.S. bases. Right. And these other like, you know, like Qatar and stuff like that. And then even the stuff with like evacuations. I was very surprised.
Starting point is 00:23:34 It's the thing that Iran has been threatening to do for a month. And he was like, I did not see that one coming. Usually we'll attack them and then they'll attack one of our bases. But they really did that, huh? Oh boy. Like even like with the evacuation stuff. they had no real plan to evacuate people. Like Americans are rough.
Starting point is 00:23:54 They're like, I don't know, dude. Don't count on us, bro. So, yeah. And like when Trump was asked, he's like, well, you know, there's a lot of chaos. And then there's, they close the airspace. So it's like, yeah, because you started a fuck. Yeah, you started a war, ma'am. But it's also led to a bunch of misinformation on social media,
Starting point is 00:24:14 up to and including the claims that both Quentin Tarantino and Jerry Seinfeld were killed in Israel. that is not true as far as we can tell. Texas Governor Greg Abbott proudly shared a clip of an Iranian plane being taken out by an American ship along with the caption, bye-bye. Embarrassingly, first of all,
Starting point is 00:24:36 just fucking grotesque to be like, bye-bye. Embarrassingly, that clip was actually from the video game War Thunder. Hell yeah. It's, dude, it's so obvious too.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Yeah. It looks like also like, oh, maybe it was a World War II. Right. Based on the footage, it looked like they were shooting down like a Mitsubishi Zero kamikaze plane or something. Yeah. And it looked like old school, like, anti-aircraft guy, like guy with a cigar in his mouth, like on the fucking ship. And you're like, what, dude? From the trailer and from the trailer of Pearl Harbor, which is the only, exactly.
Starting point is 00:25:19 only version of that movie anyone's ever seen. Yeah, just Cuba getting junior. They're like, what the fuck? They're like, God bless Cuba Gooding Jr. out there defending our country. Yeah, really just the media literacy and just, I think just the insatiable thirst for jingoistic blood sacrifice. Yeah. Like, yeah, man, I like that.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Good. Bye, bye. Ben Mulroney, the Canadian political talk show host and Nepo Baby Spawn of former conservative prime minister Brian Milroni happily shared a video of American jets seemingly bombing civilians. Mulroney, also an ambassador for pro-Israel lobbyists. So in case you're wondering where that one came from. The original poster noted that it doesn't even look real this clip. Yeah, this is one of the most amazing. amazing videos I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:26:16 It doesn't even look real. Yeah. Retweet that. Boom. Click. Good. Doesn't even look real. It's not.
Starting point is 00:26:24 It's from the video game, ARMA 3. There's so much ARMA 3. Arma 3 is the source of most of, if there's a clip that you're like, why aren't more people sharing this or talking about this clip is crazy? It's because it's from ARMA 3.
Starting point is 00:26:39 It's, it's, the excerpts from this game have been falsely shared just countless times in recent years during real world conflicts. Yeah. I remember the onset of the Ukraine, the invasion of Ukraine, there was one where they're like, it's the ghost of Kiev. Look at them. Like, shoot these planes.
Starting point is 00:26:57 It was like, oh my God, they got this footage. Yeah. And then like, and then luckily I always am like, I always have to check the comments just for some context. And people go, guys, from fucking ARMA three. Yeah. I'm dumb. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Just the. I'm embarrassed. I'm sorry. Iran actually banned the game Arm of 3 because it portrays Iran as a NATO enemy. So for people who haven't played, who aren't gamers like us, the game takes place in the mid-2030s and is about a U.S.-led NATO battling a coalition of Chinese and Iranian forces. They were a little too optimistic in placing it in the mid-2030s, unfortunately. Yeah, you overshot that by six years. Yeah, the company behind the game Bohemia Interactive has publicly asked gamers to stop using Arma 3 as a means to create fake war footage.
Starting point is 00:27:50 But they also profit from the blurred lines between the game and the real world because they also have a souped up licensed adaptation of ARMA that sold the various countries for military training, including the U.S. and Israel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, great. So they're like, guys, this shit, I mean, like, I get it. This shit is so good. This is what the U.S. and Israel uses to train people. Yeah, it's understandable that you might be fooled by it. Also, guys, check it out.
Starting point is 00:28:22 This is the sickest game out there also. This is a good ad if you want to play Arm of 3, all right? Yeah. They also, like, so their defense is like, Bohemia Interactive and Bohemia Interactive Simulations are technically two different companies, and Bohemia Interactive Simulations was acquired. by a different company and therefore. However, the one that makes Arma 3, Bohemia Interactive's website still brags that their 3D engine is used in the tactical simulation software virtual battle space used for training by the world's largest and most technologically advanced armed forces.
Starting point is 00:29:02 So yeah, you're doing that. You're proud of that. You're proudly selling that. That sucks. Yeah. I'll let your kids see that. Oh my God. Isn't your kid in the big like fucking war machine phase right now?
Starting point is 00:29:18 World War II. Oh, yeah. But it's why he's like reading manifests of ships from World War II. It's not like, oh my God. He's like, why do you think they had this much flour on board?
Starting point is 00:29:31 He's literally like so Daddy, how many, how many 22 inch guns do you think the USS Iowa had? I'm like, three. He's like, wait, are you serious? Wait, are you okay, Dad? Wait.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Do you have a head injury? Pull over. What the fuck's wrong with you? Anyways, all right. Let's talk about something that is not real. Warner Brothers is working on a Game of Thrones movie. Oh, good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:02 I mean, Game of Thrones movie. I can see that. Yeah, because it forces you to write properly. Because you're like, bro, we got to wrap this shit up in two hours. Or this is probably three, who knows. Yeah. Because the current season is like a finite story being told, right? The one that you're enjoying?
Starting point is 00:30:19 Yeah, the Night of the Seven Kingdoms. Yeah, I'm like, they're only in the second episode. But it's, dude, it's totally even different though. It's totally different from it's got like, it has like heart. It's like has humor like really kind of that I've enjoyed. But anyway, but it's still very much that the texture of Game of Thrones. It's almost like, what if we just looked over here at some like, less freaky people.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Like, it's one of those things that should work. Like, taking a show that is like this giant sprawling story and being like, we're going to tell a great story from that. What is the best example of that happening and, like, actually working? Has there been a TV show that got turned into a movie where it was like, yep, that was good? Like, I feel like the Brady Punch is like my thing. favorite movie adaptation of a TV show. A very great sequel for me.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And it's totally completely different. Like, it's not, it's not doing the thing that the show did. Right, right, right. It was so, like, same with the Adams family too. Adams family is a great example. Adam's family might be the best example. I guess Mission Impossible. Right, but also like they took a 60s TV show that, you know, had bullshit special effects and we're like, okay, now we're going to put that into a world of, you know, crazy movie special effects. I guess sex in the city, too, Jack. One of our favorite films. Where do they go in that one?
Starting point is 00:31:54 Is that India or something? Yeah. No, I think it's, I think they go to like. They go to Benadorn, you guys. No, actually, I don't think they go to anywhere in this one. Sex and the City, too? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:06 I don't know. Are they in the desert? I don't know. This is, why are we talking about? They go to Dubai, you guys. They go to Dubai. They go to Dubai. Hey, I know my second of the city's equals.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Oh, because, quote, this is so fucking die about. Samantha is hired to develop a PR campaign for a wealthy Arab she. As part of the deal, he invites her and her friends. Well, I was joking. Did that really happen? Yes. Oh, wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I should be an executive. She's doing PR for the side. I blame her for my hyper wealthy friends who are stuck over there now. Oh, exactly. this was normalizing getting stuck over there. This was normalizing, and people thought it was just all fun in games, and now some very, very good investment portfolios are stuck over there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Anyway. Sorry, Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones. For this, right, they would have to, for me to be excited, it's like I would want to see the shit that I felt like I didn't properly see in the show. Right. What are you going to give me? I want to see the biggest fucking dragon fight of my fucking life.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yes. Like I want, I need, I need that like something real fucked up. Brian said more boobs. I say no. More incest. That's right. Max out the incest, max out the dragons. I'm stuck in this.
Starting point is 00:33:26 This analog washing machine, this old time. So it's not going to be about any characters from the show that we know because it's yet another prequel. Okay. All right. This time about King Agon, the first Targaryens conquest of Westeros. I feel like doing prequels about established fantasy franchises has usually not gone that well.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Yeah, sure. But I don't know. Andor is an actual good Star Wars prequel. Yeah. So maybe, maybe? Maybe. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:06 It's just, I think, but that was also good. because the writing was so... So this is being scripted by one of the writers of Andor. All right. And House of Cards, which is about a real life power mad villain. But, uh, yeah,
Starting point is 00:34:21 it's being developed by... What are their dragon credentials, man? That's right. And then a dragon comes in and just like, fucks everyone's shit. Like, what the fuck? Totally shoehorned in. That's right.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Uh, it's being developed by Warner Brothers before the sale to Paramount. But reportedly, David Ellison is a big fan of Game of Threat. drones presumably because he sympathizes with Joffrey. It would have to be my guess where that's coming from. He's like, what if the dragon for that? What if there's a part of Westeros that Agon wanted?
Starting point is 00:34:52 But there's this a pesky group of people there that have lived there since time immemorial. And he needs to displace them. Maybe like with a dragon from above, just death from above until he can reclaim that land for himself. I don't know, just don't stop out there. It's kind of my own worldview as David Ellison. Yeah. It is truly wild that we're in a media and just world landscape where we're like, and maybe this one's going to actually happen because we hear this one guy who is born to a billionaire
Starting point is 00:35:21 actually likes this franchise. So maybe it'll happen. That's where our decision making has gone from like a world where we were like fucking studio suits, but they were all people who were like, I don't know, I like movies and I want, I want to see people make movies that are successful and that people enjoy. To this guy who was born rich, let's hope that he actually likes this franchise and this thing gets through. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Who knows? Who knows? Not I, Miles. Not I. Yeah. Not it. Anyways, those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday. We're back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of The Show.
