Gremtrens. Gremtrens. Three, it's been announced, Miles. Oh.

they've announced a freaking sequel to the freaking grem trends that one courtesy of vanadium silver on the discord my name is jack o'brien that over there is miles gray this is a k a.a the hot gremlin

the hot gremlin that's right the hot gremlin this is the episode where we tell you what is trending and this is late breaking news they've just announced that gremlins three is going to drop on all our asses in the year 2027

Spielberg is EPING Oh no but directing Christopher Columbus He's alive? Yeah

this motherfucker's still out here I always think he's also John Hughes So I'm I always associate him

with kind of not like he made the first two Harry Potter's which I thought were kind of bad Oh he did? Yeah

Yeah and then they gave it to like somebody else film the third one and they did a good job but like he has some bangers so first of all we should we got to

put some respect on his name for writing the first gremlins yeah yeah absolutely all praise also the goonies did not direct it which I think we can be thankful to the film gods that he did not direct it

that was a fucking what's his name mm-hmm The guy directed Lethal Weapon and Donner. Oh, shit. Yeah, yeah. Great director. Wait.

What, what, what, Joe Dante, I thought. Is that like, Dante directed the original Gremlins? Oh, wait, who directed Goonies? Is Richard Donner. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I'm not like a film, but, you know, I like movies, but like I didn't realize how many of the movies that I that are just like printed

on my brain were directed by Richard Donner. Yeah, for sure. The first Superman, the second Superman, um, the toy, because it was just always on Comedy Central, but Gooney's lethal weapon, lethal weapon to Scrooge. Fucking Maverick. Three Maverick,

this dude. He just, was he like, so Mel Gibson was like his fucking muse or some shit? Yeah, I don't know. Do you do conspiracy theory also? But anyways, We're not talking about Richard Donner. We're talking about Christopher Columbus, who I was like, this guy sucks shit. Why are we giving him the movie?

He also directed, this is a pretty crazy run. Adventures in Babysitting, something called Heartbreak Hotel and Little Nemo Adventures in Slumberland, which I'm not familiar with. Home Alone, too, Mrs. Doubtfire. Oh, shit. That's a pretty crazy run. And then writing Gremlins and the Goonies, he's been like, he's been. a little bit off his game lately. Yeah. So he fucked up the first

Harry Potter movies. Then did Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief, which I think everyone was like, here we go again, baby. Get ready to roll out the Harry Potter money. And they were like, no. Percy who now? Yeah. I'm actually

reading that book to my kids right now. They're enjoying it. Is Percy Jackson Black? He's not. What the fuck? I know. That's Johnny Damon. Jackson is a white character. Percy Jackson is a white guy.

And there's some subtle colonialism stuff in there that not great, but... Percy Jackson sounds like he would have opened for James Brown. You know what I mean? Or was like, you know, part of like playing with Booker T and the MGs or some shit.

Yeah. And on, hey, on saxophone, we got Percy Jackson. Oh, I had no idea. Percivist Jackson. Okay. Okay. Anyways, so that, that's big news. I don't know. I'm sure they'll manage to fuck it up. But Gremlins, too, was like, everyone was like, no, this is not what we were asking.

This is not what we wanted from a Gremlin's movie when it first came out. And in retrospect, a lot of fun. It's everything I wanted in a fucking Gremlins. I remember when Gremlins two came, I said, man, fuck the first Gremlins. This is what I'm talking about. This is an escalation. The Gremlins movie that we were all that should have been from the start. We were owed, yes.

my main note on gremlins one no hot gremlin exactly yeah what are you doing why don't i want to fuck one of these gremlins yeah um damn damn all right well anyways that's that's a little bit of exciting news up top and for the old's yeah uh we also have some more details coming out uh from the lube heist didn't they catch them all like the Pokemon caught them all like the Pokemon they've got four guys in custody so this one guy's pretty interesting he's a security guard which is what movies promised us he would be. You know, you got a security guard. One of the suspects?

Or one of the dudes? I don't think he worked for the Louvre necessarily, but he was a security guard. Less in line with expectations. He's also a social media influencer and motorbike enthusiast whose handle is Do Do Do Do, which Do Do Do Is like a plushy toy or blanket. It's not like Doodoo.

But Doodoo! That will be pronouncing it using the Poetic license as Do Do Do Do. The name translates to Do Do Do Asphalt Crosser. Okay. And he's, he's beloved. Oh, shit. My man's doing street callisthenics, like he's in fucking New York. Yeah. He seems cool. Yeah. He's doing pull-ups in the park.

In several of the videos, Do Do Do Cross Batum is shown riding a Yamaha T-Mex, the particularly powerful make of mega-scooter used in the Louvre Thieves Getaway. And other places said he was a local legend. a motorcross daredevil who has gained a cult following for performing wheelies on the Champs Elysee. Oh. Is his name,

is it a reference to that? Because he's African. Maybe his name is Amadu or something, and he's just doubling up the doo-do? Oh, could be that. I was just trying to translate. I just didn't want to assume that it was do-do asphalt crosser,

like somebody who gets out of the way of some dog shit. Bro, with that upper body strength, I'm not fucking with him. All right, so they got him. He has, they got 600 followers on Instagram. We're getting more details about how it went down. First of all, I mentioned a tweet yesterday that the noted that the Loo's video surveillance

system that they managed to, like, break into, was protected by the password Lube, just in going with, like, this shit is way easier than people think that the museum staff is not a crack team of surveillance experts. And in fact, are the same people who are shushing you, the kind of rich. Tyree's who are shushing you and, uh, you know, telling you not to stand too close to paintings. Um, but just this description, this, this particular part of the description, two of the gang smashed an unsecured window and two glass display cases before descending in the lift and fleeing on motorbikes driven by the other two in a brazen daylight heist that lasted less than seven

minutes from start to finish. They got in an elevator. Like, that part just fucks me up so much. that they did the heist, broke in, grab the crown jewels, and then got in an elevator. I hit the button, hit the button, hit the button. Keep, I'm keep pressing. Close door, button. No, those are actually,

those don't do anything. It's just there for design to make you feel like you're doing something. Love that. You have to assume there was an old lady in there with them, like kept pressing the wrong floor. Just, you know what I mean?

Like, I feel like that always happens. So bad news for DoDoo Cross's case, his DNA was. apparently found on one of the display cases. But in better news, the jewels still haven't really been recovered. So. Yeah. I feel like he could just be like, yeah, I was a big fan of the jewels.

I went there and like, maybe I drooled a little bit. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I was taking my time. I got in an elevator. It's like I was trying to. Is the rest of your case that there's a video of me on YouTube riding that motorcycle? That feels pretty weak.

And, oh, sorry, my DNA was left at the scene. Yeah. I think wasn't there another guy who also got clocked because of his DNA? I heard like two of the people. I think it's not looking great for them. I'm into these guys. Like, I'm a fan right away.

Yeah. If you steal the jewels of an empire, that's not a crime. No. You know what I mean? Freeing that. If anything. They haven't found the jewels,

so we don't know what they did with it yet. Sure, allegedly. And if, and if it was them, just have them pay to like to fix the case or whatever. You know what I mean? That's it.

Just do some community service. case bro do you know what happened do you know how many people died because of these fucking rocks bro and yeah i made i made some money but to the point about this like not fitting in with our image of how like a heist like this would go down like his his background is like he's got 15 offenses including possession and transportation of drugs driving without a license causing danger to others and uh i think he was like wanted for breaking a mirror while he was in jail like property crimes and shit like that he was he was convicted of robbing a jewelry store in 2014 but like he's sort of a low level criminal who like decided to dream big you know oh i love that and his profile

solo the media in france has invented like an unknown mastermind who hired them they're like this must have been some oh that's fucked up i know it's like it's like a rom-com where the or a do-do motocross guy is like yo like my my my old lady's like you don't doing anything with your life do-do you just doing pull-ups in the park when are you going to dream bigger he does it only for the media to be like it wasn't him yeah it couldn't have been him must have been some mastermind oh god well the suspect's profile do not correspond with those one generally associates with high level meticulously planned organized crime prompting french media to speculate that they may have been hired by an unknown mastermind because it's fucked up that's class is that's racist bro yeah

that's racist. What white guy told you how to do this? What white man told you could just walk in and bash a case up and walk out of here? It's like, it would be one thing if this was like some Thomas Crown Affair shit and they were using technologies that we'd never seen a fly this way. It's like, how do you get in the elevator after? Like, can't they just stop those? Isn't that like a fairly straightforward thing that happens during an emergency as they like

close the elevators? Yeah, yeah. But again, this thing, I think that's all it revealed is this, the Louvre is not hermetically sealed. It's not Fort Knox. If you have enough fucking gumption and a hammer. Yeah. It's yours. It's yours.

The world in the palm of your hand. Napoleon is Joel's in the palm of your hand. Brian, the editor makes a really good point that when they got in the elevator, there's almost zero chance that the girl from Impenema was not playing on the, you know, quietly. Beautiful. You know, yeah, that, of course. I love that. Just as it closed out, they're, they're, yeah, just looking at each other, pressing the button again a couple of times.

That's not going to make you go fast. I know, I know, I know. It makes me feel better. Is the scooter? Yes, I put gas in the scooter before we came. Okay, it's open. It's open. It's open.

It's on. Get on scooter. Get on a scooter. Ging, me, man. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk about more fallout from the elections. We'll be right back. What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time?

You get Desi Arness, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe, most importantly, the first Latino to break prime time wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story. From planning canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long way. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life, the moments it has overlapped with mine, how he redefined American television,

and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like hours on screen. This is the story of how one man's spotlight lit the path for so many others, and how we carry his legacy today. Listen to starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama as part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

And she said, Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night. Along the Central Texas Plains, teens are dying, suicides that don't make sense, strange accidents, and brutal murders. In what seems to be, a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad. Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened. Listen to Paper Ghosts, the Texas Teen Murders, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Robert Smith.

This is Jacob Goldstein. And we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History about the best ideas and people and businesses in history. And some of the worst people. Horrible ideas and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson.

Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what?

They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business genius. along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked. Like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead. The other tried for murder.

Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stunned. But three times. John and Ann Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble, and our couple retreat from reality.

They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to hell in heaven on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And while we may have been happy on yesterday's episode with the election results, Megan Kelly opened her show

Yeah Maybe a little bit less excited Oh God Just just listen out Right in my veins, Megan Just put it right in my veins This I love seeing a white nationalist Be so frustrated with their

A failure of their own creation Here it is Hey everyone I'm Megan Kelly Welcome to the Megan Kelly show How are you feeling this morning? So good Like shit Oh what?

Yeah I can relate Last night was a total And complete disaster disaster. I realize these were blue states. I don't care. The margins are so large and Republicans lost across the board everywhere in every race. There's really no good news. Literally the only good news is how radical the Democrats are. That's what she was doing the thing. And like, and like, Mamdani basically social, communist jihad is so then the Democrats will have to own that when the city falls apart.

Why do they think he won? What do they, like, how are they reckoning with that? Like, are they like, well, because he, like, has a secret cabal of immigrants who are, like, cheat voting for him or something? That was one thing that was implied, obviously, that they're like, New York's full of immigrants. And that's why. Tucker Carlson knows that, like, economic populism is the thing to do now as people are fucking starving. to death. Yeah.

I think it's just one of those things that's such an L, all they can do is be like, they're so fucked up and gone and so radical. Like that's really the thing they keep, that's the button they keep pressing. Outside of that, I mean,

the other thing was like, you know, as even Trump was trying to cope with it. He's like, it's because I wasn't on the ballot. Right. And the shutdown made people realize that we're bad. Is that what you're trying to say?

You're doing the thing that they hated about Biden, like way worse than anyone and like clearly on purpose. Like you're making it evident that you're doing it on purpose. There's two pieces of culp talking points that I've heard repeatedly now. The first one she said, well, and it was blue states. Well, sure, some of the big races were in blue states. But you got your fucking shit kicked in in Georgia. Okay?

Pennsylvania. Damn. Fucking Mississippi. Damn. Full Mississippi. The Nebocrats broke. a GOP supermajority in the state Senate? That's, that seems bad.

And is there, like, there's a bunch of these results where people are like, not my memory has this happened. Yeah, yeah. I mean, people are voting for Democrats in Mississippi? Like in Georgia, there was, uh, this, there's a public utility regulator. This is the first time Democrats have won a non-federal statewide office since 2006. Yeah. And they got two, two Democrats in there.

So that's the first one. just trying to be like, it's fucking nonsense. The other one is the mom, Donnie's going to show people how bad the radical left is when he destroys New York. And this one is half true, unfortunately, because any failure, be it of his own, of his own making or a shortcoming policy wise, because it's not like he can do everything unilaterally as mayor, even if it's something that's been plaguing the city prior to his election, it's going to be distorted through the lens of capitalist media to be like,

well, I don't know. I mean, like this guy, the same thing they did for DA's. media apparatus. Like, he needs to be getting his own, you know, messaging out there to the people somehow. I've talked about how Claudia Scheinbaum, like, anytime that a leftist has taken over from a, like, neoliberal institutional, you know, status quo, the mainstream media will fuck them, like, over and over and over again. And, like, so the way Claudia Scheinbaum and her predecessor did is they, like, would have

hours long press conferences every morning being like so here's our plan for today here's how we're trying to execute on that plan like here's like some wins here's some things we're working on like just real honest conversations straight to the people and not letting the mainstream media and like the don't let barry wice don't let barry wice explain what you're doing or even the new york times like the new york times is going to be like questions emerge uh about mom dani's ability to you know they'll they'll find a crime and then blame it on Mumdani like that that's going to be happening like that is a status quo like he needs to have an open line of communication that does not rely on the mainstream media

and then he just needs to like you know stay focused which i think he's planning to do like he's like you know get get those policies out that are going to actually help people the other thing that megan kelly talks about she's like there was so much infighting she's like we should have been getting people out to vote and i'm like i i honestly found comfort in that because That is some Democrat shit, man. That's exactly what the Democrats say after they lose. Her worldview is even more distorted than the DNC.

Somehow, like, Republicans actually think that Trump's election meant that every single person was down for the dog. It's not even dog. The fucking white ethno state makeover, takeover. And, you know, and while they were, look, there were many people that were just voting for Trump, because we know this, who were just so, like, such low information and probably didn't, like, don't know the nuance of anything.

They're like, uh, Trump, not Biden, therefore change, I think. Yeah, the Let's Go Brandon set. Yeah. They also don't realize that the voting populace is so ground down by economic inequality that xenophobia is only desirable for a fraction of that base. Right. It has its appeal, obviously. But there are still people who are like, I don't know, like, I'm broke and I'm everything is

unaffordable. Isn't that like a thing a president like kind of can do? Like I don't need to, I'm not here for the deportation. Yeah, the whole point of like him coming in and being like, yeah, I think I will be an authoritarian is that he would be able to like smash shit up and like just like push things through because he's like, you know, going to be an authoritarian. I think that was part of the appeal to people. And that's an understandable theory of the case, except he came in and start smashing shit up and pushing shit through that just makes billionaires like richer. Yeah, and every

policy is making life harder for people. At every turn, you can barely fly because of the fucking shutdown. You're not getting paid because of the shutdown. Services aren't available to you that you rely on because of the shutdown. All the fucking deport to the kidnappings of

American citizens, let alone people that are just fucking minding their own business. No, they don't like that. I mean, this is where they could maybe take a page out of the Democrats book. Have you even tried polling on some of your policy positions? Do you know how fucking undesirable there? Because you might be able to draw a line to that. But again, they're like, we don't, making it least like,

the GOP doesn't know who to run anymore. They don't know how to win a race. It's like, it's your fucking policies is the first bit there. Like you lost seats on the utility commission because fucking utility costs are soaring. Right. Hello. So, and, you know, we've been saying whoever, whatever party starts addressing the cost of living first is going to win full stop because wherever like a lot of the rhetorical

shit is becoming more and more meaningless the the the fucking angst about immigration is becoming more and more meaningless if there's there's absolutely no change or you have no bandwidth to be outraged about this like culture war shit when you can't pay your fucking bills yeah yeah yeah no the culture worship is exacerbated by not being able to pay your bills and people are just like, well, I got to be angry at someone. I got to have hope that someone's going to fix this. Why do we go with the racist guy who says, you know, that it's somebody else's fault who doesn't look like me.

Yeah. Yeah. So, I don't know. I mean, it is like these people, they're still doing, they don't know what their brand is somehow to the outside world. Yeah, they're not seeing themselves correctly. They are not seeing themselves correctly. You're right.

Yeah. And you do hate to see it. Dems and disarray. Republic, GOP. I mean, dude, the head of the DNC is like, you know, these numbers are obviously like, this is very good, you know, and I'm like, dude, don't for a second think it's because of your leadership at the DNC. You guys just got your ass kicked in New York City, by the way.

You were not helping Zeran. Yeah, your candidate just got beat twice. This is where. Yeah, this is where it gets sticky again, because a lot of this. uh you know the swing back to people voting for democrats in these races is they're going to be like yeah see that was that was like a that was an anomaly that was an anomaly yeah but they yeah they don't see where the energy is necessarily don't let these people do it to us again a new political all-star that's spamburger that's that's who our new political uh that's who we're taking our

you know who are yeah you know who are running in the next race it's a it's a 10 gallon water bottle just like from a water dispenser and a towel to put over your face that was actually used at a CIA black site to waterboard someone they're running for senate other uh election related news uh no one could get their hands on the new york post's red apple issue the oh yeah that immediately the new york post headline the red apple became a uh thing that everybody was buying and selling the resale market for the new york post headline became very popular They're on fucking stock X, bro. You can get them on stock X right now.

Sold out in five minutes. There are copies. Are there really copies on stocking? No, it just feels like the kind of shit. On eBay, they're going for prices ranging from $50 to $350. So, I don't know. It feels like this. Come on now.

Don't put money in these resellers pockets. Finds you a high resolution image of the cover and print that out of Kizankos. And put it in your barbershop or wherever. Who are these people who hold? on to old newspaper articles. Right. I don't know. Put that in your hoarding bunker.

Do you, did your parents hold on to, um, yeah, my mom's a newspaper clip. My mom too. My mom is a fucking, though she got a Laker jersey on,

but she's a clipper, okay? Because the amount of old newspaper, like when Hadeo Nomo came to the Dodgers, my mom has any time he was on the, in the sports section. My mom was clipping out that shit. Yeah.

My mom would just be like, read this article, thought about you, send me, My mother-in-law does that shit to me all the time. Whenever there's like a Japanese recipe in the New York Times, she cussed that shit out and she goes, oh, I thought you, I thought you liked this.

And I go, thank you so much. It's very thoughtful, but this is an abomination, this recipe. But I appreciate, I appreciate you trying to, you know, thinking to me. It's always a story about either hyperhydrosis or people with diarrhea for something. Honey, I thought maybe you should, you thought about you. Why? Man shits his pants on. one podcast thinking of you thinking of you honey um yeah i don't know it does yeah just overall

there there's a good article uh from forget this guy's name but he's like somebody who was involved in the very john b judas yeah it was involved in the very early days of the dsa and he was talking about how like how far they've come yeah that they ran an uh a candidate in, I think, San Francisco in the 70s, and the candidate placed behind somebody who was, uh, whose name on the ballot was Jesus Christ Satan.

Hell yeah, dude. And was like a Satanist. Occupation. Metaphysician. Yes. Um, which might be a job in San Francisco if you're a physician that works at meta. That's true. That's a really good point. It's an actually thing. I'm a meta physician. Yeah, Jesus Christ Satan. Hell yeah, dude.

Yeah. I think mainly this article should just be about how you fucked up and jumped on the wrong bandwagon, and you should have, we should be talking about President Jesus Christ Satan. But just the fact that, like, this is not, like, out of nowhere. This is the end point of, like, a lot of steady, like, ups and downs, but, like, more and more socialist democratic policies, Democratic socialist policies becoming more and more popular as the Cold War brainwashing slowly wears off.

And as people come to realize, slowly, like, kicking and dragged, kicking and screaming, people begin to realize that it is probably the best solution for what ails this country at this point. 100%. I mean, I think also, too, it shows that these campaigns, like Zorans, is, like, really rooted in, like, true democracy. Like, he was getting out there, he's getting people out together, going door to door, neighbor to neighbor, spreading the news about the candidacy. And I think that's something that also you, like, when you have that kind of energy, it comes from a place because people believe that what you are doing is going to offer something new. Yeah.

And yeah, the message is, message, message was solid. And he wasn't even really fully doing a full frontal attack on capitalism, which I get, man, but maybe you got to, you got to turn the volume up on that over time. You can't be scaring the hose. been the that's been the general evolution from like being like fuck capitalism to like socialist policies within capitalism yeah yeah yeah that's been given people the ability to be like all right well as long as you don't say fuck capitalism yeah well it's a jump for people too who don't have any kind of context for like these different systems of governance or like political

you know anything like where it can be like well capitalism bad and yeah a percent of people be like fuck yeah dude it's a fucking destroyer of earth most people are like nah so if you start going damn man what about if there's a grocery store that was way fucking cheaper than like what these other fuckers are charging fuck yeah to that and you're like okay okay okay okay let's turn that volume a little bit more a little bit more um because that's the one critique i think a lot of people who are left of mum donnie um uh sort of have of him is just sort of like well you know he's not like an enemy of capital of capital yet or ever but again, I think this is something, hopefully, that can be built on as people, you know, because of

their, uh, their experience of lack brings more consciousness about and allows for more ideas like this to get hold. So yeah, reasons to be optimistic. All right. Uh, that is going to do it for us on this Thursday afternoon. We're back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself.

Get your vaccines while you still can't get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. and we will talk to you out tomorrow. Bye. Bye. The Daily Zykeyes is executive produced by Catherine Law. Co-produced by Bay Wang. Co-produced by Victor Wright. Co-written by J.M. McNabb.
