changed the way we consume women's sports. Listen to the making of a rivalry Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Hey, I'm Gianna Pardenti

flavor of potato chips. No thanks. My name's Jack. That is Miles. Yep. And these are some of the things that are trending on this Thursday afternoon. We'll get to the delays, product fail,

or whether it's a product fail. You know, we'll ask the question. Yeah. I don't know. That lies in the mouth of the beholder. Yeah. Is it mouth of the beholder? I'm not here to yuck anyone's disgusting monstrosity um

all right uh so hulu is cracking down on password sharing so it's spreading you know netflix did it earlier this year possibly this is a payback for the fun we've been having fucking around with public domain mickey oh yeah like because disney owns like that hulu so they're like oh yeah you guys yeah no it's cute it's cute you're having fun we see it oh you like that oh tough guy huh you're gonna need a different hulu account for every tv in your home yeah prick now what how you like that asshole it's gonna auto renew um every month i don't forever i i thought i got away with using my mom's netflix they got us you know they got your ass finally got caught up last week it was like hey asshole are you are is this you the main reason we want to talk about this story is like

i guess the outcome like not not the this isn't the story that i heard because i'm not a media ceo but in the c suites they were the whole netflix crackdown was like a raving success yeah because it led to an explosion in new subscriptions so So they're going to, this is going to be happening now. Yeah. Sharing password sharing is no longer going to be a thing. And I know if you're Canadian's I gang, apparently this has already happened. They did that in the fall already with Canadian Hulu subscribers.

And in America, it's coming on pie day, three, one, four, March 14th. So get your pies out and throw them at a bob eiger near you get your pies out because that's when he brainstorms it's you know

i'm a little sick my brain's not really working so i'm just gonna be firing off random rap lyrics that i remember dude if you keep it sean carter you know then we're all we're all good we're all good here but yeah this is oh man it just when is the piracy gonna go into full swing you know i know but that feels like our next move it's like oh yeah your move we don't subscribe to any of this shit now we were already at an unsustainable point with like no person had subscriptions to every single thing like you were using some form of like i got this one you got that one and we all get along you just got to can't remember to cancel once you're done watching fargo season five exactly exactly creating new email accounts to sort of generate new account lid little whatever look we do what we gotta do to survive out here but yeah it's they're figuring it out

and they just when they saw explosive growth with their subscriptions to Netflix of course everyone else they really love some explosive growth and I know the thing that's exploding is our bank accounts down here on the ground exactly and we know the price of a banana

oh yeah what's a banana like 43 bucks well yeah it couldn't what could a banana possibly cost michael 12 um yeah it's uh i don't know it's it's the continued like there are these hyper capitalists ai singularity machines uh up above us all generating the weather for us and we're just like okay thank you sir like there's really nothing we can do about it yeah um so god with this one simple trick ceos are drenching their benches fucking cut down on the fucking password sharing it ain't about fucking sharing in this world yeah that would be funny if like they all communicated the way they think like that that's why we get all those headlines is because media ceos that's how they actually talk to each other

right like dude this one simple trick one simple trick will have your revenues fucking 3x in one quarter dude yeah and they don't want you to know about it alright let's get to it rooty tooty fresh and fruity I mean anytime you get to say that phrase it's a win for your mouth for other people's ears unfortunately

possibly not a win for people's taste buds this is a rooty tooty fresh and fruity is an IHOP meal that involves strawberry pancakes and bacon. I am personally a fan of a combination that involves sweet and savory. If the savory is a breakfast meat, I'm on board. Give me some crispy bacon with my pancakes, and I'll dip them in a little bit of syrup. Give me a little sausage.

I'll dip them in a little bit of the berry compote that you get from IHOP. Do not touch my fucking breakfast potatoes with that shit. Oh, yeah. I do not want sweet breakfast potatoes for some reason that that feels incorrect and a violation to me yeah this is like it's to the point where people like is this real because the lays account even just posted like this image with very well done photoshop i must say they completely nailed it because it looks so flat

it looks like it is yeah it's a mess but also the bag design looks like it's pancake mix like they've designed the bag to look like it's pancake or like a gunny sack or something like the physics of it they're just saying would you try this fake flavor or is it fake i like how they're trying to fly a weather balloon just be like would y'all hate us if we did this and like just so you know we already made like 50 500 it was a good idea don't worry yeah oh yeah dude it's obviously fake dude that's obviously fake we're never gonna make we're never gonna make something gross like that for me personally i'm not when it comes to breakfast i do not need sweet don't need it um unless it's something like something like you

know out of this world like a certain kind of french toast at a place like you gotta try the fucking french toast at this place sure i'm open to that but for me breakfast because my biggest fear is getting maple syrup on my eggs or some shit i just don't like that because i put so much tabasco on that shit it's just not yeah i don't like that combination so it's really only meat for me do you fuck with meat with like some sweetness what sweet no sweet meat you don't you don't like like a you know some maple syrup on your maple sausage no no okay okay no i don't and that look to each their own like that's why i'm like i your mouth is saying to each their own your eyes are saying that you view me as subhuman right now yeah well i'm just i'm just trying to

see if you're some kind of simulation that's trying to fuck with me, if it's actually Jack on the other side of this thing. But no, I mean, God, I don't know. It just doesn't make sense. A breakfast chip, just in general? Yeah, I don't like the breakfast chip. I think there have been maple-flavored chips, and I, I could see that being like somewhat fun,

but, um, this one, no, thank you. Yeah. Although then super producer Bay pointed out, like if you cover them in chocolate and then I'm like,

yeah, because I do like potato chips mixed in with my sweet. Yeah. Somehow a chocolate strawberry bacon pancake chip. I'm like, go on. It's just so weird. Now you've won me back.

This one simple trick. We'll have fucking idiots around the internet. We'll have these hogs mouths slobbering. What about septic tank hose flavor dipped in chocolate? Yes. Well, we got some new insight into what it's like on board the Royal Caribbean's new sea monstrosity. The icon of the seas. The icon of the seas is like the thing that they put in the ocean, made sea levels across the world rise,

the thing's so big. And so there's a $100,000 a week cabin on the Royal Caribbean ship that they gave us some pictures from inside. It's called Ultimate Family Townhouse. Yeah. And it looks like shit, Miles. I'm not going to lie to you.

It looks like an Ikea nightmare mixed with a discovery zone on a terrible Pinterest board of inspiration. gonna charge people a hundred thousand fucking dollars to like take a fucking red slide down to your beanbag living room with hexagonal holes in the walls and yeah it seems like something that was like made in a panic to be honest right it does seem very half-assed like there's like i could see this being like okay this is the first level and then we're going to like keep adding stuff. Um, but it just feels very sparse, very like it's, there's one thing per room.

There's a slide that goes down to a bunch of beanbag chairs, right? Like some, some of the stuff in this like business insider article that is like just a corporate shill, you know, that they have a relationship with whatever the PR company is that wants that. They're like,

and if that's not enough, this room's got three dang TVs in it. Yeah. Yeah, man. I've been in a fucking hotel room before. Ma! They got a fucking tv screen on the bathroom

whoa this place looks like a mixture between like the waiting room of a child therapy practice and yeah like one of those zany dentists where they're like look bro we know when you come in here it ain't gonna be fun when you cross through the door on the other side of this waiting room. So we're going to try and make this part as fun as fucking possible. It's got big child, like pediatric dentists, waiting room energy. Did you have one of those in like the towns you grew up in? Like the zany dentist place?

Like in no, but we had one here. Dental land. Dental land. Yeah. Dental land. It's the fun place to go to the dentist and the commercial was like it's a discovery zone but also the fucking people here don't use gloves during the any of your procedures is that real no i mean it's just like that's like the vibe you got from

dental it's like they went all in on the vibe that you're not sure what the actual like the dental practice is like dental and not trained not by trained nope um we just kind of like to poke around in your kid's mouth don't ask any questions without um i don't know guys this is an l for me this makes me think that the the icon of the sea is not the well-thought-out plan that I thought it was. That I had invested in, guys. God. Another investment. Another business now for Jack. Yeah.

All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I'm Jess Cosavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration.

It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pradente. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. When you're just starting out in your career, you have a lot of questions. Like, how do I speak up when I'm feeling overwhelmed? Or, can I negotiate a higher salary if this is my first real job? Girl, yes.

Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do, like resume specialist Morgan Saner. The only difference between the person who doesn't get the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies. Yeah, I think a lot about that quote. What is it like you miss 100 percent of the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary, but it's better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career without sacrificing your sanity or sleep. Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach,

it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows. That we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other.

All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And we got the bullshit news of the week. Bullshit news of the week. Again, these are not bullshit stories that reached our shores necessarily. I did see

one of these though. I saw the Biden ones. The one of him dressed up? Yeah. I did see that. I think these are just good to keep tabs on because this is the type of shit we're going to be seeing. More and more I feel like people's social media feeds are going to be populated

by this shit. The first one has Biden playing dress up in the situation room. He's like dressed like an infantry, like G.I. Joe soldier in the situation room being briefed actually looks pretty cool. It looks almost like, wow. So this is what it looks like when we have a full militarized takeover of our government. It's like, right. Because, I mean, this seems like something Trump would probably do, too. So this is what it looks like when we have a full militarized takeover of our government. Right. Because, I mean, this seems like something Trump would probably do, too. He'd probably like to be like, get me in my costume.

Where's my costume? Can I have a helmet? I think it actually looks pretty cool. Could you AI generate one of me looking tough? Yeah. I don't know. Again, as with a lot of the AI stuff, hard to tell which side this came from. Right. again as with a lot of the ai stuff hard to tell which side this came from right i don't know if it was biden's side being like hey we found we created this image and you look kind of tough

uh and not just because you have seven fingers on one hand yeah yeah yeah there so there's fucked up hands when you look at the writing on his little outfit his little military outfit yeah um it doesn't say his name the name badge they would like get his name right yeah it looks like like star wars writing yeah yeah um yeah i i mean i i think it works both ways right it works for people who idolize joe biden and we're like wow look at him it's commander in chief like really protecting america's business interests abroad like i guess um but then also for hawkish type people it helps sort of create this image that we're like here we go folks we're on the path to war are you ready um it's happening and i'm sure causes all kinds of uh of activity when people see this but i think it's important to keep in mind the president of the united states is a civilian

not a member of the military so there's no reason he would ever wear battle fatigues or some um but i think it's like this i think works on people because the commander-in-chief title makes it believable because you're like right come on oh he's taking it seriously it's like he's not he's not an actual member of the armed forces so he would not i think this is a net w for biden though if if people saw this and took it seriously i think it's a oh yeah i'm sure yeah like there's probably like some conservative who's like huh right damn my man's got my man's got 14 thumbs on one hand huh all right that one picture where his fingers are interlight like interlocked it looks like all thumbs like really long toes yeah there's yeah they gave him very strange hands because that's not so good with that quite yet another biden piece of fake news

a lot of right-wingers on social media mocked the white house's claim that joe biden's iq is 187 besting einstein's uh and this was supposedly said by kareem jean pierre's uh press briefing as the uh source right um no such announcement was made right so this one no no way i needed they just made up a press briefing yeah the original fake tweet was like oh kareem is now claiming that biden took an aptitude test and his iq is 187 first and people went out like an aptitude test is not a measurement of your iq but yeah i also like that it's a 187 on undercover cop his iq um this will be if biden gets assassinated this will be like a thing that becomes part of a conspiracy theory right like they were trying to tell us brian the editor also chiming in einstein

also never took an iq test so what how do they know he was smart? That's the only way to know someone's smart. Oh, did they just give him the Rubik's Cube when he's baby and then he did Rubik's Cube in five seconds? Bro, he got that long tongue, though. He got long tongue. He ain't tongue-tied, bro. He got that frenulum. That ain't in the way. We'll tell you that.

He was born sans frenulum. I bet he just, like, when he was born, he really liked classical music. And that's how they knew. Oh, shit. Oh, yeah. Make this baby a theoretical physicist or whatever his official area of expertise was. Just Einstein shit.

You know what I mean? He's in the baby ward and a nurse comes in and is like, doctor, his IQ meter is like going off the charts with this one. How did you know? We did the regular skull measurements and the distance between his tip of his nose and the base of his skull. Oh, good, good.

That is, I mean, basically on par with what IQ is. Yeah. Let's see that. Let's see what that skull do real quick. What that skull do, Einstein. Good t-shirt. Jessica Simpson.

What that skull do, Einstein. Hey, what that skull do, Einstein. Jessica Simpson did not endorse Trump. Oh, but I saw a video clip. So this is one where they didn't even need to do AI. You could check all the fingies. All fingies, normal. Uh-oh, she really did endorse Trump.

So liberals and conservatives were quick to condemn slash celebrate this one. So it made the rounds in quite a few places. I saw it inadvertently. I saw people suddenly talking about jessica simpson yeah and uh i didn't see them be like she loves trump but just like her name her entered the zeitgeist entered the bloodstream again um and so the the clip shows somebody uh asking if she has any advice for trump and she responded be president which um were this yesterday would be like damn she really uh she's for for donald trump yeah uh the video

is from 2017 so her statement wasn't necessarily an endorsement but merely a direction uh for him to do his literal job yeah but also like it could be like a high-minded critique like yeah how about you fucking be the president or it could just be like the most basic like uh oh what should the president do be the president okay yeah that's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you're caught on a topic you don't really know much about or aren't informed on. Like, oh, what should LeBron James do? Be basketball. Just be basketball.

Be basketball, man. I think that's fair to say. That would sound like a political statement. Yeah. Because it's like, oh, yeah, she told him to shut up and stop. Whoa, be basketball mad? Shut up and dribble. Yeah.

Yeah. But I think this was probably around that time when everyone was just being like, he's not acting presidential. And I feel like Megan Amram would always just tweet like that. That was the day. Rinse and repeat. Today is the day Donald Trump finally became president. So, yeah. repeat today is the day donald trump finally became president um so yeah i mean i think there's probably also something to that because this week just the the the all the bed shitting from the conservatives over their panic over what taylor swift is gonna fucking sigh up

that maybe they're like well we got jessica simpson or are people trying to see jessica simpson who knows who knows who knows this is a nick lachey op oh shit yeah yeah look at what he's been up to or is it vanessa manila yeah man that's someone's name i know that's who nick lachey is with now got it yeah finally there are there are no tanks at the texas border i thought i remembered how the song there are no cats in america there are no tanks at the texas border okay there we go i did not it turns out i did not remember that i haven't seen that movie since i was i think like seven years old. I think I was doing West Side Story. There are no cats in America. That is coming to me across decades, literal decades.

Anyways, there's video evidence of escalating tension at the southern border in Texas with tanks driving down next to some AT atvs it looks real serious it is real serious uh it is also two months old and from chile ah but this tweet said texas is moving its tanks across its borders surreal sight uh-huh there is i i've also noticed there was another video too that was in america of like armored vehicles not tanks like you know like apcs and not cats right no no no no uh moving like across like a street like where the like the road traffic had to shut down and people like holy shit man they're mobilizing and then like other but it's interesting because

i was this was on the subreddit are conservative because they were like yo it's happening but then like this the conservatives that were actually like had some knowledge around the military they're like this is not even in texas like this is in georgia and like look at this sign it has a tank sign because it's near a base and they're just moving shit across like they're like as much as i want to get behind this guys this is just bullshit two miles outside of disney world they're coming for us folks so yeah i mean this is all part of i mean i think it's all being fed too because we got the trucker fucking militia convoy and shit yeah which is now the organizers like guys please no militias no militias please do not join this supposed to be peaceful fucking militia convoy and shit. Which is, now the organizers are like, guys, please,

no militias. No militias. Please do not join. This is supposed to be peaceful. Even though the organizers of this have deep ties to militias. And fine, if you're gonna come, just bring handguns. That was like where they ended. That's where they netted out. Signs about how we want to kill the president.

But they were actually saying this shit. They're like, only sidearms. Please leave the long guns back in your home state. Do love the idea of sidearms. Like they're side dishes. Yeah. Well, that's not your main gun. No.

Obviously. Yeah. This is just your side gun. Oh, this? Yeah. I call this thing scalloped potatoes. Yeah. And you will want a dipping sauce to go with your sidearm.

Oh, yeah. Have you picked one? No, actually. I would really recommend the Blood of Christ dipping sauce. I think you're going to love that. That's good. We call it ketchup. Alright. Well, those are some of the things that aren't happening right now, but are trending. That's going to do it

for us on this Thursday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves get the vaccine don't do nothing about white supremacy and we will talk to y'all tomorrow bye
