Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Short-Sighted. That is courtesy of the Discord. It is a play on short-sighted, which I am. Shout out to my left eye.

Only short-sighted. All right, Lisa Lopez. Also Lisa Lopez. Also, also. I'm Jack. That's Miles. This is what's trending. A message to you, Miles.

Rudy is trending. Yeah, he is messing around, to say the least. I told him to stop it. And he found out that you can get COVID-19 by not wearing a mask and being not great at thinking of his future yeah no exactly the specials would be very disappointed um but you know fucked around and found out i wasn't thinking of your future um because even his son got it like last month i remember his son got it i think who was the kid who made his inauguration world famous in the 90s oh yeah that chris farley played yeah he got it so i think it was only a matter of time but i think you know not that it's like oh great rudy got covet it's just like all the things he's been

doing the last week he's been in like packed fucking uh hearings with people uh in michigan i think most famously like when he had that just whole you know carnival of of liars uh proceed to give weird testimony um there's also a time i think if in michigan also this is a kind of a small clip where he was sitting next to someone who was like helping be like a witness to like you know it fuckery and he asked when she's giving testimony to take her mask off and like knowing now that he's tested positive it's like you're so fucked up i'm just gonna play a little bit of it because the situation is so odd um given that it has nothing to do with what the testimony is and just some weird play there are 23 satellite locations you can go go to any of that satellite locations miss jacob yes i don't want you to do this if you feel

uncomfortable but would you be comfortable taking your mask off so people could hear you more clearly can you hear me now can anyone hear it clearly we can hear a phone we can hear you okay okay i guess so then maybe it's the accent maybe that's what it was doing for me i think that's why i said the mask thing that's like totally what that vibe was it wasn't that you were that it wasn't her mask i think you were feeling all uncomfortable that this person was speaking with an accent and that was somehow taking away from the bullshit that was she was talking with an accent and that was somehow taking away from the bullshit that was she was talking to so maybe the mask would overcome that it was very odd he's an elderly man who's hearing is probably failing and relies a little bit more on uh reading

lips than he realizes but assumes because he uh is a narcissist that everybody must be experiencing this. He's like, you're welcome, guys. Can't just be me, right? I don't know. Fuck, all right. I mean, when I think of the worst person to possibly be in a room with when you're trying not to catch COVID from them, this would be the dude, not just because of that mask clip,

but because of how he treats his own boogers. Like holy water i'm not joking like he was blessing himself with this not he like what did he do he like blew his nose in the handkerchief into the handkerchief put the dirty side out and rubbed his hands on it then like touched it on his forehead blessing yourself blessing let the blessings come in with the snot all over your face yeah it's i that's why it's weird even as a kid i remember like my mom's dad in japan was a big handkerchief user handkerchief user and like handkerchiefs are pretty common like in japan like people just love to have little towels handkerchiefs and stuff and whenever it saw saw someone blow their nose, I'm like, you got to throw that away, right?

Like at that point, what are we doing here? Yeah, get that out of here. Or do you have like an insulated pocket where you could put snot rags into that you don't care? Because I bet the inside of your pocket looked like God knows what. Right. Yeah. Unless you have some technology we're not aware of, please. Yeah.

Thank God for the development of disposable tissues. Shout out to disposable tissues. Don't have to do that. Or fuck it. I mean, maybe I'm coming up with an idea. You need an insulated pocket, so if you're going wild with the reusable handkerchiefs, because I get it.

It is more resourceful to reuse. Well, they make antimicrobial underwear. Why aren't we blowing our nose on antimicrobial? It doesn't work, for the record. It fails spectacularly every time. I don't know what they're thinking because I'm still stinking. They said toughest cases.

Well, bullshit right here. I guess I need to call Rudy Giuliani up to represent me in this lawsuit because they're telling lies over there kid cuddy is trending why is kid cuddy trending new album man on the moon three is coming out so yeah i i'm good to see i mean kid cuddy's been he's been through it all he's been on hbo he's been terribly tied to kanye west he cleaved himself came back whatever he's going had ups and downs but yeah he's he teased like new art for it uh track list so it's it's happening which i'm i'm excited see what that looks like what uh what was he doing on hbo

uh how to make it in america remember that show oh yeah that was like he was on that yeah yeah he was in it and he was like just like a character in it and we're like whoa scott muscati can act uh but again i remember watching that show and that was like the beginning of the end for me because i hated it because i at the time was around the age of the people and i'm like the economy is is not working like this for people my age. HBO. People don't live in impossible fucking apartments in New York. HBO.

But that's every show. I don't think anyone. What are the shows that actually have realistic depictions of how a New Yorker who isn't a millionaire lives? Yeah, I don't. Roseanne. Rent. But not really rent. rosanne does not take place in new york city by the way uh i had documentaries about like the 80s art scene really nothing

right seriously i mean again it's all part of that mystique of shaming people into thinking that's normal and that if you have anything less than that that just shut the fuck up and be ashamed and aspire to that thing on tv was that a darren star joint the dude who did sex in the city oh i don't think so i don't know is it uh i don't know it just feels like it was like you know sex in the city for ian edelman of course ian edelman yeah the one and only do you think like i think that's probably a two-way bias where because americans just like to like financial fairy tales they like they don't want to see people deal with real financial realities but also like when you look at who gets like writers jobs and like all the thankless bullshit and interning that you have to do. I'm sure a lot of these people, that is realistic.

It's just they don't mention their rich parents or whatever. Yeah. I don't know. But that's the hard part is why can't you just embrace that some people are like normal as fuck right then like because i think what it does is even if you're not saying this is good and this is bad or whatever explicitly if the message you are getting you know is being reinforced visually over and over is that an interior of our home has to have these you know has to have an eames chair in it and a fucking you know like cool art and all this other shit with a doorman then you'd like that become like then we we lose track of what's normal and what is like sort of

exaggerated um right but whatever whatever this is this isn't a show where i take down how to make it in america although that put that aloe black uh i need money that's where that song really started popping off is it oh shit um i. Oh, shit. I need dollars. That's what it is. Dollars is what I need. I've always had that. Mario Lopez KFC is trending. This is one of those things that they have created so that people like us talk about it.

Yep. And they've won. Yes. Congratulations, Mario Lopez. Yeah. Yep, and they've won. Yes, congratulations Mario Lopez. Yeah. So they made a holiday rom-com where he plays Colonel Sanders.

Yeah. Falling in love with Mrs. Sanders. Yeah, it's called A Recipe for Seduction. And the subtitle is, We All Have Our Secrets. His just happens to be A recipe for seduction uh yeah i don't i it's like a mini movie as they call it lifetime mini movie that'll be on uh i'm not gonna give them free promo but you can find it uh i you know whatever is this like doing a press release and like a teaser trailer and movie poster around a funny or die video like or better yet a funny or die piece of branded content like

that's what this feels like it does no 100 it's also just i mean it it's it it makes sense uh you know as i track the holiday movie market you know um mar Mario Lopez, he's big right now. He's on Peacock. He's on Save by the Bell doing a pretty good job, I must say. He also was in Feliz Navidad, the wonderful holiday rom-com film. And now he's in this one. So the Lopez stock is on the rise. So I know some people, I saw on the discord people were like whoa like

is should should colonel sanders be so hot uh you know colonel you know fuck colonel sanders whatever he is anyway so he can be whatever whatever the fuck these people want to do with his legacy whatever the fuck isn't he made up anyway colonel sanders he's like a caricature to front the the company right to To give it this slave owner backstory. He was a serial failure as a businessman who late in life owned a gas station that was failing, but he served fried chicken out of the gas station shop, and that's where he struck gold.

But he is a real person oh okay well then great yeah fantastic uh true american dream definitely not a colonel though right definitely not so we know that's like uh being knighted in kentucky you become a colonel uh oh like a i think quite literally a kentucky colon? Right, exactly. Was the name of the title. Damn, somebody hook me up with that KC hookup. Right, right. I should be Colonel O'Brien, Colonels O'Brien and Ray. Hell yeah, man.

I would be insufferable if I was a Colonel, even a Kentucky Colonel. I love a stupid title. Yeah, they bless you with Mountain Dew and put a, I don't know, pitchfork on your shoulders. I don't know what the sword equivalent for Kentucky would be. A Louisville Slugger?

A Louisville Slugger. Boom. Much better. Thank you. Yeah. Shout out to Kentucky, a place that even though I lived, I just denigrated with terrible dismissive stereotypes. Shout out to y'all.

Love y'all. Same like I do with LA. Yeah, yeah. That's how you know you're from somewhere or ignorant. I don't know. It's very interchangeable. We should do, since you're like the king of holiday movies, maybe we should do a holiday movie something or other.

Oh, yeah, for our holiday episodes? For some of our holiday eps. I could put a list together. Okay, we will do that. Oh, some shit that will make your eyes fall out of your head. So a bunch of things that I do are trending. Skating, surfing, sport climbing, break dancing, all things that, you know know how i get to work often

surf surf catch a wave down to the office sport climb the outside i mean i always say you should do head spins with a beanie on because you've got a wicked scab and bald spot on the top of your head just doing those head spins i'm like yo i just got one big white guy dreadlock oh my god what is he at rasta no this dude's been doing head spins doesn't wash his hair and it dreads i don't know i don't really like talking to that guy you can just tell him to turn his music down uh so yeah it's because these are olympic sports i didn't i knew like surfing was coming and skateboarding uh sport climbing, whatever, but break dancing also, they have gone through like the final hurdle to now, like their inclusion has been ratified by the IOC,

siphoners of local wealth in the hopes of putting on their event all across the world. They have made break dancing a sport and i've never been more fucking excited than i think when the dream team was going to play in barcelona so you're saying that you think south korea is going to come out pretty pretty hot yo korean break dancing there are some because taekwondo like there's a culturally there's a lot of acrobatic athleticism inbuilt that right that i see being used in like breaker moves like your hip rotation and shit like that is the same thing when you see those wild taekwondo uh demonstrations where some

dude look like he's running on air and like jumping like 40 feet in the air oh yeah yeah yeah like you know break that's like the cool thing is like this doesn't feel like a thing that yes you know because it's part of the elements of hip-hop that were born in america that america is gonna dominate like no like the every country that's what's beautiful about this shit is that like every country has has breakers and there are international competitions already um so i think it's just gonna it will feel like the closest to like a high stakes you guys served situation like ever because now we're dealing with like something like a

thing that competitors universally respect which is like olympic gold uh so that's gonna be that's kind of tight i just i don't know there's just something about it that i'm really looking forward to what those what those look like and what do you do like is it 1v1 is it 2v2 break battles like what are the rules of the battles is a full crew on crew uh like is it specialized like with head spins like who can do like the sickest stalls i don't know like that's what's be cool about how you begin to adjudicate that too it would be dope if they yeah if it was head to head and like there was you know you were standing around like in the same area as the opponent as opposed to like doing it like gymnastics where it's like okay and that is the end of their routine

and up next the russian team team yeah team usa b-boy nibbles and like bowing and then it's like and then suddenly you just hear like the that song uh the mexican playing that's like one of those old school breakdancer songs. Yeah. You have the hushed announcer being like, oh, and he's going, oh my God, that's Bandy. And I love the song choice here. Now, this is a classic Babe Ruth, The Mexican. I don't know if you've ever heard this song.

I'm just going to play it really quick. Have you ever heard this song? Oh. I don't think so anyway that's called the Mexican but by Babe Ruth and that's like a OG breaker song

back in the day cause like get your up rock going song selection's gonna be I mean I guess it would be like the same thing as gymnastics cause it can't just be like

yo with a show of screams who who who murked the other person in the battle like it'll be

like how it's scored and how we get into like the commentary is going to be also like because there's going to be a certain level of reverence that you treat the competition with that's just going to be so fascinating like i hope they're uh i hope they're also it's got a little uh figure skating built in in that they're making their own costumes or like having to dress themselves and that's part of the presentation uh and you have but i mean yeah it's all one it's all the same version of like the adidas three stripe track suit right basically it's just like oh royal blue uh and then bob dylan was trending this morning uh not because he died, because he sold his entire song catalog for, people are speculating, around 300 milli for Bob Dylan's song catalog. Why would he sell?

What's going on? Is he in debt? So, no. This is the thing. Stevie Nicks just did the same thing. The Rolling Stones recently did something similar. It's basically- Oh, one last check?

Well, it's one last check and it's also the taxes are going to go up under biden for this particular thing so they're they're all being uh capitalists boomers that they do that they are mr biden come raising my taxes what the fuck wow that's that's cool very cool very cool oh because what your 300 million was gonna get taxed like what the fuck this is where like you you just see like at that level what you you even if it was like they took two-thirds of that a hundred million dollars is you couldn't your life's work then just he wants to leave it to all those kids he's never talked to um yeah and look at kids he's never talked to.

Yeah. And look at what you did to Jacob. Had him all gassed up thinking the Wallflowers was a good band. Blondie, Rick James, and Stevie Nicks are the ones who did it, not Rolling Stone. Or the Rolling Stones. Rick James, I mean, come on, man.

Posthumously. Yeah, yeah. It's going to be under Trump around 20% of the sale price uh and under biden it would have been 37 of the sale price so that's why why it's happening honestly like each shit like right fuck you uh so you went from 300 million to let's just call it 200 million i know i feel so bad fuck yeah who gives a fuck it's really like yeah it's hard to like there's so much of capitalism and like just the capitalist ethos where it's just like gotta save as much of your money from taxes you possibly can like that's the smart thing to do

and it's uh like you never ever hear somebody be like well no i mean yeah you pay pay taxes for the country helps other people yeah gave you the support to make you who you are and it helps other people uh it's funny like the only like spicy class traders are the ones that aren't relevant you know like not it's never like a kardashian it's always like one like a forgotten disney grandchild it was like all right yeah i mean thanks but like you know we kind of need the real you know fucking water carriers of this whole culture to actually begin turning on it like you know you'll never hear them be like of course like you have to tax me because my i've experienced such wealth that I honestly think

it's inappropriate for me at this point to have any more money as it stands. It's honestly an absurd amount that I wouldn't know what to do with and I feel wrong. Therefore, I'm so open to actually just surrendering about 80% of whatever I'm making and having that go to the community because that's who needs it. That and also my product of skincare and body shapewear too. I mean, this dude was already like selling out pretty hardcore. Like last year in a Superbowl commercial,

uh, he let Bubweiser use, uh, blowing in the wind. Oh yeah. We talked about that. I was how very un-Bob of him that was. Right.

Environment, like, because they're, they were bragging about how environmentally friendly their beer production was and then later that same year budweiser's parent company was fined half a million dollars for violating california's air pollution laws uh but the check cleared exactly in 2014 there was like a whole thing where he was in a chrysler commercial um so one other thing i've i didn't realize that our writer jm pointed out uh i i had talked about his song uh murder most foul for that was about the jfk assassination that i think is a great song even though it's 17 minutes

long yeah uh but apparently he did a 15 minute long song uh not too long ago about the titanic which wait what which upon closer inspection is actually about the movie titanic because there's a lyric that goes leo took his sketchbook he was often so inclined he closed his eyes and painted the scenery in his mind um oh my god so my man is uh you know he's gone he's gone but the but the murder most foul one's so dope it's like it uses the sort of uh fogginess of dementia to to uh good effect it's like going back and forth and uh between subjects and years and it's kind of dope um but that he slips into talking about leonardo dicaprio uh as leonardo dicaprio in his song about the historic event right i can only yeah his i'm

surprised if you've listened to the JFK one, he's like, and then Gary Oldman shot the president. And you're like, are you talking about Oliver Stone's JFK movie? That's so great, man. What a genius. Genius definitely

deserves every penny of that $300 billion. What a dingus. Don't let him. What a dingus. What a great billion. What a dingus. Don't let him. What a dingus. What a great diss. What a dingus. Ugh. All right, guys. Dingus of the week goes to Bob Dylan, y'all.

You heard it here first on the Daily Late Guys Trending app. Dingus. Ding, ding, ding. Ding, ding, dingus. All right, guys. That's going to do it for this Monday afternoon. We're back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other.

Be kind to yourselves. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we'll talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Kay hasn't heard from her sister in seven years.

I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. What was that? That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. Can Kay trust her sister, or is history repeating itself? There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.
