Are you? Well hold on. You actually have to sign a waiver if you want a train of just pure sugar. That is courtesy of One Miles Gray. Hey, straight off the dome. Wish I had something, a black splendid drink at the moment. I'm Jack. That is Miles.

Coming to you from Tropical Climbs, unknown. Got the sleeves rolled up, showing off the guns. Showing off the guns. Showing off the big dog tee, you know. Oh, hell yeah. My favorite sign fetch. Have you had that since those were being actually a gift from uh comedian caroline goldfarb oh really got it for me yeah so dope it's been it's a cherished cherished possession now

well miles uh back here in these united states here a couple of things that are trending yep valedictorian is trending because a texas high school valedictorian in the dallas area gave a speech in which she put the whole reproductive rights conversation into context yeah very clear well uh expressed way this young woman paxton smith uh did the old i love this little bit of high school fuckery where you're like, yeah, yeah, this is my speech that you get approved, right? And then on the day, she's like, you know what? No, I really need to talk about the lack of agency that people have over their bodies. And when you look at valedictorians, these are the promising young people coming out of

going into the world and towards the end of their academic careers. And she said here in this speech, quote, I cannot give up this platform to promote complacency and peace when there is a war on my body and a war on my rights. I have dreams and hopes and ambitions. Every girl graduating today does. And without our input and without our consent, our control over that future has been stripped away from us. We cannot stay silent. This is a response after Greg Abbott signed an abortion ban. That's one of these fetal heartbeat bills. And the school district lost their minds because the response is now almost like, we'll fucking take a hook vaudeville style and yank them off the fucking podium if we have to and i don't know

how they're going to ensure that but it's uh i don't envy whoever the next valedictorian is um that's very frustrating that they didn't just back uh the smartest of them to express herself and also she made it uh pretty inarguable do they have complaints about what she said on the grounds of what she said? Or they're just... I mean, I think it's more vague of like, you know, that was out of our control. She went off prompter. Yeah. I mean, but yeah, that's unfortunately...

Sorry that you have people trying to speak truth to power when they have a platform to do that. And what they're saying is not a lie. So, you know, I'm glad that the kids out here are using it to say. So, uh, you know, uh, I'm glad that the kids out here using it to, to say shit like that versus, you know, saying like jackass references or something like probably I would have done 20 years. Right.

Uh, Clippers are trending. The, this is a Los Angeles, uh, professional basketball team, uh, who are down three,

two in their, uh, series, first round series. The Lakers are playing tonight. Their second best player is injured with a groin injury, which is never good. And they're playing a really good team, the Phoenix Suns, the two seed.

It's been a mess of injuries this year for the Lakers because I think at least partially because they started the NBA season way too soon after the bubble. I mean, look, the Heat went on the first round. Boom. Yeah. I think you can see that rest is important when you're

an athletic machine and your one thing is to run as hard as you can constantly. I mean, I love the meme that they showed of Rondo. There's one of Rondo looking at the back of Kawhi's head and Rondo has a confused face and is like, the fuck? I thought you were supposed to be better than LeBron.

We're struggling. I might be the Hennessy meme tonight, depending on how things go, but I am hoping LeBron can LeBron. What's the Hennessy meme? There's a dude who's like pouring a glass of Hennessy like this. They're like, well, you know, sort of like, well, fuck that one up.

I do feel like, I don't know. It would be 100% understandable. Lakers fans would be calling for both LeBron James and the coaches head, I'm sure, immediately. Snoop already is. Just call him for who? coaches. Oh, they're sure. Immediately. Snoop already is this calm for who?

Yeah. Vogel. Vogel. Yeah. All of them. We saw off to shit. Like, yeah, I mean,

I get it, but like, like let this shit happen. Like, don't be so reactionary. I'm reactionary the other way where I, I go in with 3 billion percent confidence, even if it's completely toxic,

but then I'll wait before I go into the rage moment. You know, they talk about like how every championship you should have like a grace period of you know a few seasons um but with lakers fans i feel like they are the one uh group that you have the grace period of the off season and then they're gonna start riding your ass i mean even when we were losing games, there was definitely a cohort of people like, I don't know if fucking Vogel knows what to do. It's like, we don't have AD or

are you serious? We're the number one rated defensive team. Okay, whatever. It's also infuriating when you can't even see these very specific things that we're doing well and it's all just because we're not number one team. Friends at work make fun of me. I don't like Vogel must go.

Luka Doncic we not number one team friends at work. Make fun of me. I don't like Vogel must go. Yes. Uh, Luca Donchic is, has been a lot of fun to watch. Uh, that series just in general has been a lot of fun to watch. Cause Luca is playing. That left footed off balance shot.

He hit like that. It looked like he was just trying to fuck with them. I was like, okay. Yeah. The one footed step back from three. Uh, on his foot.

Well, the Damien Lillard classic from, uh, The one-footed step back from three was unbelievable. The Damien Lillard classic from two nights ago was unbelievable. Again, just seeing people, we talked about this in the bubble and we're wondering if the shooting was better in the bubble because they're always shooting in the same gym, but Lillard is just once again doing things

that suggest there is a glitch in the matrix that he has discovered and is exploiting. The NBA playoffs, you got to love it. And my 76ers moved on, but are facing a, I think, a very scary Atlanta Hawks team. And Joel Embiid has a meniscus tear so he's gonna be day to day uh so well we shall see maybe you can count on ben simmons huh we will see that did you see that tweet that was like devin booker getting double teamed at like 23 trey young getting double teamed at blah 23. Trey Young getting double teamed at blah, blah, blah. Ben Simmons.

Then it just moved on. Like the future looks bright. Yeah. All right. Here's one, a hashtag that I think we've all been waiting for. Fauci lied. People died. Thank you.

This is something that we kind of, we talked on today's episode, actually, Fauci lied. People died. Thank you. This is something that we kind of we talked on today's episode actually about how you know they FOIA'd thousands of his emails and the shit that people were finding was just

pathetically boring. This dude is boring as hell. So what the conservative people on social media now are doing, including Meghan McCain, is cherry-picking emails from very early on in the pandemic when the scientific consensus was that masks should not be worn by everybody because we had to conserve them for uh medical workers um or when hydroxychloroquine like might have worked

we didn't know yet um we do know now um and they're being like see he lied hydroxychloroquine is the cure um because he said that it might work early on before we had done the medical research to realize it didn't they yeah so it's just it's impossible that this won't be taken out of context and turned into something it's not i mean because it's not it's never about actually the like whatever the truth is it's just all you know rhetorical barbs that they're trying to create out of these emails and like see who see it wasn't just Trump yeah Dr. Fauci was the president of the United States that's what yeah yeah I mean Fauci had to be the president of the United States on this thing because our president was just incapable, just wildly incapable.

All right. And then finally, Grimes. Putting the grim in Grimes uh with with this tiktok video uh where she has just found out about um the promise of automation um i guess like you guys we're never gonna have to work again because automation um oh huh so we can all be communists and then she apologized but she apologized for people who thought she was a communist she's like guys i'm not a communist don't worry um but it i'm a chill technocrat that's me right this let's just we'll just play it because it it sounds like what i imagine the people like when jay Smith and Elon Musk and like all these like pseudo intellectual type people get together.

They like get this one shred of an idea and then they go, yep, I'm not going to give them much more thought than this because everyone agreed at the time I said it. And here we go. I have a proposition for the communists. So typically, most of the communists i know are not big fans of ai but if you think about it ai is actually the fastest path to communism what grimes what hold up you said whoa okay in a good way i hope go on professor grimes so if implemented correctly AI Yeah, big caveat That should be the entire We're going to yada yada

Pass the implementation Rather than, yeah, like, okay Because the racist police algorithms Will only round up a certain look of person But, Gohwong, I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt your lecture Correctly, AI could actually theoretically solve for abundance. We could

totally get to a situation where... Theoretically solve for abundance. Nobody has to work. Everybody is provided for with a comfortable state of being, comfortable living. AI could automate all the farming, weed out systematic corruption, thereby bringing us to

as close as possible to genuine equality so basically everything that everybody loves about communism but without the collective farm because let's be real enforced farming is really not a vibe okay i don't know where to go with this aside from yikes. But yeah, I mean, like, really? I can't imagine when you're with your capitalist emerald pocket husband that he's not having his own ideas about how he can get the jump on AI so he can be the one at the levers of this thing

that will create your utopia or whatever this is. Yeah. the levers of this thing that will create your utopia or whatever this is yeah no i mean this would be theoretically great if we used ai to then let people stay home and just collect a paycheck uh but we live in america i might maybe i should be be giving her more slack because she doesn't live here and doesn't realize how um the the thing that i actually have although she is uh dating a billionaire who is the beneficiary of the entire reason that the that her uh idea isn't gonna work which is is that we will automate things and then the owner of the company will take all the money and will not give any of it to anybody else. Right. Because that's the only way there, guys. Yeah, that's what it is. I just love all the memes that are coming out just after

this and people be like, what is like they're also saying like she's done that thing where she's hung around her husband too much and now she's talking just like him where it's like a bunch of weird loose ideas but like with a lot of confidence and everyone's like oh my god yep that's it thank you that's what i've been saying grimes she also um has like face designs facial tattoos that are yeah marker things yeah marker things maybe but it looks like stencils it looks like the very like basic my first stencil that we give to my kids like that has just like little shapes right i mean obviously we're not even gonna waste our time parsing through the fact that i'm not sure she even knows what communism is um but we'll just maybe she thinks it's socialism but

um maybe she thinks it's something to do with like real like literal agriculture right or because like when her capitalist husband is like dude what do you okay so then we'll go to communism and then everyone has to work like be labor be laborers on the big farm. And she's like, what? Yeah, exactly. And then XJCC3056-2 will have to, you know, probably labor the second he's of age. It's going to be terrible

crimes. Okay. Not lit. That's not a vibe. Elon, super producer on Hosniye has posited that you may not talk communism while laying on a chase lounger

oh, is she on one? yeah, she looks very hey man, laid back, laid back vibes laid back technocrat vibes I mean it should be disqualifying once you hit a billion dollars once or are procreating with somebody who has a billion

dollars uh you should not be allowed to try to think about uh money for other people ever you were just no yeah unless somehow like that you became a billionaire because like the earth donated it to you because they felt so bad for you. Then that would take a tremendous sob story for that to happen. Yeah, but even then, once you got it, you would immediately lose all sense of reality as it relates to money. I mean, I know people, man, I haven't even met a billionaire, but I can only imagine what I'd be like, huh? That guy didn't, what was that? The dude was drinking like water out of a weird like machine cup I've never seen.

It's like, yeah, they don't drink our regular water. It's a whole other level. Please back away. We're going to find out that the white tic-tacs are all just like billionaire crafts that are just doing something very stupid for them like right fetching them bottled water from an alternate dimension which helps them uh avoid wrinkles anyways all right those are four things that are in fact trending yes right now thursday afternoon uh we hope you guys are doing all right out there uh we are back tomorrow with a whole

ass episode of the show until then be kind to yourselves and be kind to each other get the vaccine and don't do nothing about white supremacy and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye.
