Hello, the internet, and welcome to this long week trend, Labor Day week trend episode. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, he back. Well, well well well wellachy wellachy wellachy or maybe more appropriately I should say buongiorno mi amici it's been a wonderful

time in Puglia and now I'm back I'm back doing great how was it? your accent sounds completely authentic I mean thank you so much I'm back. I'm back. Doing great. How was it? It was great. Your accent sounds completely authentic. I mean, thank you so much.

I would say that, you know, when you're spending time in what they call the heel of the boot of Italy, little did I realize that I would find myself being healed in a spiritual sense from the beauty of the sun and food. I just, oh, I'm back in the U.S. In the heel of the boot, healed by the butte. Thank you.

Thank you. See, this is why I needed to come back, because I'm only half a brain without you. Well, I'm Jack O'Brien. That is Miles Gray. See? He's back from his journey. Journeys abroad. Yes. He will be pronouncing selective words differently.

Um, but not acknowledging that. Thank you for saying differently. Cause before you said in an insufferable, obnoxious way, but yes, you made a euphemistic version. I will be doing it a little bit differently. Yes. See, see, see. Um, Fettuccine.

it a little bit differently yes see see see um fettuccine i believe you're gonna find a way to keep mentioning fettuccine for some reason um anyways uh this is this is the episode where we get back uh tell you what trended over the long weekend yeah um oh what a what a long weekend what a long weekend we we had burning man we had uh some rips to some real ones we had uh taylor swift owning the uh well first of all only owning the uh prison yard yeah i was gonna say yeah and then owning the the studio leads uh a bunch of stuff but before we get to any of it, Miles, we do like to let our guests get to know us a little bit better and tell them something that we think is overrated, underrated. You want to kick us off with something you think is overrated?

Sure. And this is apropos of nothing, but I will say something that is overrated is focaccia genovese. Because, you know, in the U.S., what we understand as focaccia is actually it's from Genova. And it's the kind of focaccia you see at most Italian restaurants. But as I spent time in Puglia, specifically in Bari, I realized that focaccia Barese is actually a superior focaccia. It's doughier. It's denser. It has way more olive oil in it like

if you have it wrapped up in a piece of paper it looks like that's like a sponge dude like when homer had to gain all that weight and dr nick's like if you rub it on paper and it goes clear it's good that is what that was and it was delicious uh and it's funny because a local was telling me breaking down how it's apparently a very contentious thing in italy about who who got the good focaccia and who you can say that now that you're no longer there you can yeah yeah oh no gotcha is uh focaccio is that i believe how it's pronounced focaccia yes. Yes. Yes. Uh, but it's been, it's, it was, I can't, I can't stop thinking about it.

And I had, I had all these sandwiches on it. The amount of the sandwich game again, you know, it's, uh, what'd you put? I don't know where to start.

Oh man. I had one with, uh, you know, as the Americans say, Gabagool, but Capacolo, uh,

with some, uh, olive tapenade, a bit of stracciatella cheese, you know, rocket, and some olive oil, and it was fantastic. I also had,

and this has nothing to do with my overrated, but I said one of the best pastas I ever had in my life. It was a pistachio cream with like crushed red peppers with like tuna tartare on top because you're by the sea in Puglia. You simply must.

Tuna as a as a stray ingredient underrated uh as far as i'm concerned when you go to the old country they know how to do it over there absolutely absolutely so i will say sorry to genova you know the city that gave us christopher columbus but not only is that man overrated but so is the focaccia. Wow. Yeah. All right. My overrated is knowing the words to songs that I've been singing for years. I don't know what I thought the lyrics to Hard Knock Life were, just that I thought the first part was... It's a hard knock life for us. For us.

Yeah. You know, it's like... I always thought it was steady something something um but i've just been singing that song since it came out in my head out loud and just phonetically and it just came up again because my kids are obsessed with it because it popped up in the Ninjago movie. More on that later. And they were like, what are the words? They're clearly not the thing that you're kind of slurring through.

What are you saying? And the lyrics are very simple. It's like instead of also very dark instead of like kisses, we get kicks. Yeah, instead of treated, you get tricked. Instead of kisses, you get kicked. We get kicked.

They're very simple. Make total sense. I prefer the blur of syllables that I had going for years. There's something... Sing it for me. Just give me your amorphous version. Instead of you, man.

Instead of sinning, we get sick. Instead of sinning, we get... Sing it for me. Just give me your amorphous version. I don't know. I can't even do it now because I don't know what I thought it was, but it was way off. And there's something, I feel like most lyrics are like that for me. They are just, I learned them phonetically and did not think about anything about like what was

intended what they were trying to say right right right the feeling of the syllables and uh yeah that's like again i always break like so many rap songs are like that for me too until like you know because some back in the day some rappers had the fucking lyrics in the liner notes if you bought the cds other times you were like i don't know what the fuck this is and you would go on like a janky internet site and get like the wrong version too so i was definitely doing syllable screaming the one i always think about too is and i've mentioned in the show is that fallout boy song sugar we're going down where i'm like yeah like that that's easier in my mind to sing than what the actual lyrics are so yeah yeah that

but like that one i think is a famous famously like people are like i don't really didn't know what that was for a while but like hard knock life like that's very straightforward my brain had to do work to not know what they what those young children were saying right um but maybe i just didn't want to know that they were getting kicked instead of kisses oh yeah you're protecting yourself i was protecting myself from the horror yeah delicate little baby um what uh what's something you think is underrated underrated and i've actually been thinking about this a lot since you were talking about how you like to do something that makes you uncomfortable a lot that if you if you stay in your comfort zone too long, you feel like you begin to like, you have to fight the inertia of comfort.

Yes. Break the inertia of comfort. And as somebody who, for the first time, took their young baby, you know, traveled as a family on a plane, Hermaski and I decided, yeah, let's try a transatlantic flight for the first flight ever we do with a six seven month old uh it was very at times very uncomfortable or at times you know i had a lot of things in my mind about how difficult i thought it would be and just persevering through gave me such a deeper like appreciation for not only like her majesty and you know the geist child but also just being able to trust myself in situations like that too or you're like oh this is gonna be a nightmare and i'm gonna probably just break down i'm gonna be on my knees in the streets of italy just

not being able to handle anything uh and i just like i feel so much more confident and i really like just i don't know i came back with such a deeper appreciation of many things not just like our family unit but just like being home and like the shit that being home offers me so uh i have to say i have to credit you jack for saying that because i really i've been thinking a lot about you saying that about not about challenging yourself to do something that not it doesn't have to be necessarily being like, you know, terrifyingly uncomfortable, but just to move outside of your comfort zone in any way, be it big or small,

because it's true. It really does. It does pay off in the end. So yeah, got to say massively underrated for something that in our minds, I think we overrate pretty seriously. I'm wearing underwear made of out of SOS pads. That's how I approach it is just yeah

yeah i was like physical and then a shirt made of my own hair uh that just it's not oh that's what that is yeah yeah uh okay so all right brian i do owe you 20 bucks i thought it was i thought it was like a mohair mesh marina you were doing like a jamaican kind of thing but that is super impressive that you guys were able to travel internationally with the geist child such a young child uh yeah that's and shout out to europe or especially italian culture for loving a baby like on site wow because you know in the u.s a lot of times we're like oh babe fuck like it's gonna fuck my vibes up because i'm on a conference call right now your baby's going to be crying on

the background of my conference call you're bringing your baby into this sharky's mexican cantina right now i'm trying to do something serious but yeah like in italy man it's like the way people stop you on the street and just like, oh, que bello, bambino. They, it, it also made me much, I don't know, like I just appreciated life more and the idea of community much more. So overall, fantastic. Fantastic. You do vacations, right, man. You really like come back from your vacations with like a new view on the world.

It's underrated how great, how great you are at vacations. I don't, yeah, it's, it's that,'s that or just you know by virtue of just trying new things like and i i guess i try to always really find that in whatever you do because those are like the real memorable things you bring back from travel like obviously seeing new things but if you can add to your your worldview and come back a slightly different person, an improved person, then I feel like then you get the most out of what you do. Even if you're taking a trip to somewhere you've been already. Again, that's why credit to you for like of really leaning into the unknown and the discomfort

because that's truly where the growth is. It's not in comfort. The growth is in the discomfort because hence growing pains. Tell you one place that isn't fond of kids joshua tree i feel like that we went we went there for like i think it was new year's my wife and our two kids and we're just like sitting there playing chess like i thought being very like you know quiet respectful but man people were just like what the fuck is this oh that's yeah i think there's just i think there's just something like about sometimes

when americans are on when we go on vacation it's like to escape the shitty like hellscape of the toil of our work lives yeah and so like you really want to expect this like very sanitized or like very specific environment in order to achieve that. And sometimes you completely nullify the rights of children to exist in your presence. Yeah. Yeah. Which is not good. Not good.

For my underrated, I guess the Ninjago movie. Oh. It's not good, but it's like there's a whole different type of like movie experience that doesn't really like, there's not a way to research it. There's not like, it's not represented in critical analysis. I can't go to Metacritic and be like, yeah, but like, if I'm watching with my kids, what's the, what's the score. Right.

But, um, it's truly about like how much my kids enjoy it and how I feel about them enjoying it. Like if they enjoy it, but it's a bunch of like nonsense and violence, I'm not going to be enjoying it that much, but when they love it and it's because it like gets them, you know? Right,

right, right. And it's like making wordplay jokes. Like, I don't know what Lego movies do a good, do a good job not to be like so legos this massive trillion dollar corporation shout out to the underrated yeah um the danish hit makers yeah i am curious to hear like what what are people with young kids like methods for finding

out about like media that they fuck with that they can like watch with their kids like the there's this website common sense media that tells you like this is probably like even though it's pg-13 you're probably all right watching this one at like age 11 with your kids right you know uh but i feel like it also has like some christian values bias in there so i'm wondering what do people use is there like a good reddit for this shit right well i mean what so like what would you what's an ideal movie review that is usable for you as a parent like aside from being like wow that's like great you know like the metacritic or adult perspective review like what are kind of things that like what are the degrees or categories you're looking for i mean i guess it's just like laughter like number of laughs

of from a seven-year-old yeah yeah age group right we also we also went to the hollywood bowl for return of the jedi uh oh the live screening or live where they like the orchestra plays the music along with the movie which was very cool um did not appreciate how much classical music is in just all movies uh but like that those movies in particular like in those george lucas movies um it is a wild experience to be able to watch as like people's like nerd boners go up because like they give out these like lightsabers or you're like you have to buy them i guess and like when han solo comes on screen for the first time it's like zing like all they go up and they're like straight in the air yeah but

that was cool because like you know my seven- year old, it thinks he discovered star Wars, you know? So on one, on the one hand, it's like pretty cool. On the other hand, it's like a little disillusioning. Um,

but it was, it was a blast. He found his, he found his people. He found his people. That's star Wars show. Yeah. All right.

Let's take a, let's take a quick break. Okay. And we will come back and we'll talk about, uh, some of the things that were trending over the weekend. A lot of music.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch.

She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. We are. And we are going to keep with the story that you were in italy and leave out the thing about how you were stranded at burning man um yeah yeah i had to rush back to get in there and get in there to the to black rock city you know yeah it's been everywhere turns out reddit does work uh in europe so i was able to see a lot of interesting video posts from abroad

uh like the burning man not i guess debacle just nature doing its thing yeah yeah so what like why do you think this took people by like so i feel like it's a lot of schadenfreude oh yeah people are like i want to see the people who go to burning man suffer and a lot a lot of the viral posts were like people being like as bad as this must be for them it's not as bad as being stuck in conversations with them about burning man i want to step in here and say i enjoy hearing from people who go to burning man about burning man i think it's a weird experience that i have never and probably will never experience but like it hey don't speak too soon it can be interesting to hear those stories i love hearing from michael swain about his burning

man adventures yeah i like my dad because you know, he, he used to hang out with some OG burners. I just remember in the eighties, like when my dad's friends would like come back and like always talk about it. And I just like the way the conversation was, it's like, I never understood what they were talking about. And my dad's like, it's for adults. It's like an adult thing. And I'm like, what, but why did, why does he have all these, like, what are the, all these pictures of this interesting clothing? But the culture of it seems like it's just taken like it's like anything you hear those people talk about how it's just changed over the years and as it became more mainstream just sort of began to draw a different kind of of uh participant like chris rock um yeah who didn't have too good of a

time low i feel like it makes sense as a DJ. Chris Rock, you know, it's like when Diddy went a few years ago, that's when I think a lot of people were like, oh no, okay. Here we go. Puff Daddy's there. I guess this is something else now. Do we think that we found out that Chris Rock was there because

would that have been a thing that we didn't know about but for the whole place turning into a pot of mud that everybody had to, like, escape from? I don't know. You know, I mean, I feel like you always, like, all those websites typically do, like, a rundown of, like, here's who went to Burning Man this year. Especially as it became, like, kind of celebrity-focused. Yeah, I guess I just don't usually care. Not just the festival, but celebrities became focused.

Right, right. And I think in this version, I think it's interesting because I think it's a good example of someone having the rich guy freakouts. Because the way Diplo was apparently Chris Rock was so frightened, apparently, as

things began to devolve. He hitched a ride back in a fan's truck. Bea mista get me out of here i gotta go and he was saying things like he thought potentially that again it could be obviously hyperbolic he's a comedian that like it could be devolve into just cannibalism and chaos or that sounded like realistically thought maybe people were gonna like run up on their camp and like take stuff which is like very odd because if there's one thing I know about burning, man,

it's like, that doesn't seem like the norm. It sounds like all about like sharing, you know what I mean? And like, you know, relying on other people and being able to, you know,

have community. But for him, I think he was like, the pores are going to overrun our camp. Get me out of here. Interesting. Yeah. Anyways, glad that most people seem to have gotten out of there safely um like the like the thing that another thing that went viral from

burning man is like the sex plane thing i don't know it's just it is hard for me to like differentiate what is i'm sorry what is the sex? There was like a plane that was basically an attraction where you could book it and it would take you up into the air and it was like a tiny plane with just a mattress and some red sheets and

shit in the back and then you could have sex in... You could join the Mile High Club, which I've never not interested in this for so many reasons but um people were talking about that on on twitter uh and i feel like when you actually looked like who was writing about it it was like a lot of like british uh conservative tabloids and stuff like that. So it's just differentiating the schadenfreude of

the conservatives who are like, and this is what you get hippies for doing this stuff. And then people who I would agree who I'm more in line with that it's like, God, if Elon Musk had been swallowed

by the mud there, that would have been wonderful. I'm still just hung up on this sex plane. Is the pilot discreet? Is he taking peeks back there? Have you ever been on a tiny plane? I've been on exactly one tiny plane. I've seen like videos of people like on a single engine plane and it looks like it's there is no like

you're just fucking right behind the van yeah it's like a van with wings is basically so i maybe they put up like a a separator a divider but it's pilot co-pilot and then couple having sex in a pretty like what what is essentially the size of like a a tent so okay well yeah teach their own the the person who talked about it was like yeah they were discreet they were great i made a lot of like you know they we didn't land until we reached altitude or a lot of like orgasm puns right right right it was fun it's also like the a lot of the people like they look like the people from the real sex documentaries oh yeah documentaries like it feels like this is where a lot of those people and their uh their descendants i have gone yeah where do i in my mind i'm like that just sounds so unpleasurable for me personally to be in a single engine plane with like a two-person audience uh

but hey again we're all wired differently so if you'd like to get your rocks off in a cessna i'm sorry a sexna you know go do your thing go do your thing. All right. Timothy Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. What? Timothy Chalamet and Kylie Irving are hard launching their relationship at the Beyonce show.

Man, it was... There's been so much rumor about how Timothy Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have been discreet, but I like all this. There's been so much rumor about how Timothy Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have been like, you know, they're discreet, but I guess not really just going to each other's houses and limousines and leaving or whatever. But, you know, the Beyonce birthday show happened. Diana Ross saying happy birthday to her. I was unable to go due to jet lag, but it looked fantastic. But yeah, apparently Timothy Chalamet and Kylieylie jenner just you know having a good old

time making out i was more impressed with that timothy chalamet just smoking a cigarette in the sofa arena just like off in the vip area i was like wow this guy's he's guys really edgy with his ciggies i like it that is the people are doing that again i know that's what i was struck by in you know in in this weird fucking 90s brain way i was like oh timothy chalamet is hot he's smoking cigarettes like and i feel like maybe i wonder if that's what kylie jenner's into she's like he smokes cigarettes like some 90s scumbag it's so cool his breath stinks like marlboro reds yeah i guess he spends probably a lot of time in Europe where it's still

how's the cigarette smoking in 10 out of 10 they blow it right around your baby they don't care and I don't either in my mind I'm like well this ain't everyday yeah in a way like it's funny like someone with a cigarette

in their mouth will come up to a baby like it's like flapping in their lips like oh bambino bambino and i'm like bambino but please don't want to have any kind of copd or something please just keep the cigarettes away but anyway it was fine wow 10 out of 10 yeah uh all right uh taylor swift that so a couple taylor swift stories yeah the weekend um this article from the new yorker went viral written by someone who's in jail for murder uh who i'll just read the opening sentence the first time i heard about taylor swift i was in a los angeles county jail waiting to be sent to prison for murder um and yeah it's you know it it's interesting like you know the the access to media that he has in prison is a lot of just you know

like a radio station or like good morning america you know like one of the net network television stations and so like he kind of learns about her and hears her music that way and then one of the network television stations. And so he kind of learns about her and hears her music that way. And then there's like a MP3 trading scene and people who smuggle in boomboxes and CDs

and someone smuggles in her new album for him for his birthday. And it's just a cool he writes eloquently about like that relationship that you can have with something that like represents home or like normalcy and right um like i don't know have you ever had that where you're like homesick or like traveling and then it like you're just devouring something that reminds you of home when i would be in japan as a kid because like if i wasn't in school like i i

was in japan to like be with my family there and in like in the mid 90s and shit there was not a lot of like american tv you could just get on like normal like because my my my grandma and uncle they didn't have cable or anything so i was watching whatever the fuck was on but late at night you could get beverly hills 90210 or csi miami and i was on that shit every night from like midnight to fucking 230 watching that shit because it was like the one little shred of american culture but i never fucked with 90210 till i was in japan because that was like just some home word shit i could like stare at and i was all over that yeah i i do wonder like people talk a lot about how like mcdonald's and other countries are much better than the mcdonald's in the u.s and i

think that's definitely true but i also think you like appreciate the mcdonald's in another country more because it is that like tread of home jack like that tread of normalcy when i was in when i was in body i went to mcdonald's did you and oh yeah because i'm look i'm i'm nasty with mcdonald's all right i've like i can't i can't help it something's wrong with me and even their majesty majesty is like, do we really have, we're in Italy. I'm like, I just have to see what they have.

That's different. And they have like big Macs that are with like the chicken, like chicken patties and shit. Like you get a double stack McChicken sandwich. I was like, okay, these are all ingredients I know, but they have a pistachio McFlurry.

Oh, M God. I, it was, it was delicious. And that was like the one different thing I had to get just to try it. And it was, yeah,

it was different. They take their food seriously. You know, what can I say? Yeah. There's a, um, there's a good section where he like writes about how he's like making

friends in the prison yard who are like clowning him for liking Taylor Swift. But then they eventually come clean that they were clowning him for liking taylor swift but then they eventually come clean that they were clowning him for liking i think it was red because i thought it was like a whack like pop departure from her oh shit dude hamster swifters okay yeah i love that that's just just like yeah no like i almost got beat up because i liked red it wasn't even like wasn't anything on some like gang shit it was just for my taste in taylor swift's body of work you better not have the wrong taylor swift opinions you can like taylor swift in the prison you just can't have the wrong

taylor swift you know they say day one when you're in prison you go up to the biggest swifty and you knock them the fuck out yeah that way they know not to fuck with you in the yard that's right but yeah i mean i remember like living in europe for a couple months like in school and my thread to like just devouring like nba like articles about the nba and just like basketball coverage like bill simmons in particular like this was when he was like just first starting out like that was the most i've ever cared about anything was like how much i cared about the nba when i was in ireland for two months like there's just like so much like homesickness and like normalcy and just yeah yeah sometimes you need that cultural oxygen to breathe in yeah exactly um yeah just hanging out at the internet cafe reading espn2

like you do um all right uh let's take another quick break and we'll come back and uh talk about a couple more stories we'll be right back i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

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% 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 Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.

Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get

better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke.

So we mentioned at the end of last week that Taylor Swift's Errors Tour is coming to AMC Theaters. Yeah. So tickets went on sale at the end of last week and it's like already had a massive impact on the industry because it's just the thirst is yeah so real yeah um they They, so the previous, the previous record for ticket sales, like pre-sales was held by Spider-Man No Way Home,

which earned $16.9 million through one single day advanced ticket sales. She made $26 million worth of tickets in like three hours like wow just yeah and this is for like the movie yeah because she's doing the hey i've got the movie version of my tour that is coming out what this fall or it's october 13th it's coming i am okay okay and i know she cut out the the studios that's the one thing i did i did hear about this was that she's like yeah i could i could do a deal with the studio but i'm gonna fucking i'm gonna work my own distribution deal out so she yeah she made a deal directly with amc because the studios she was talking to studios um but the companies were suggesting a 2025 release which you know years after the tour had ended right and you know she and her people wanted

the film to come out while the tour was still happening um turns out they might have good instincts about this stuff right and studios should maybe shut the fuck up and recognize when they don't know what they're talking about. Will that ever happen? Universal is apparently extra pissed because they were considering distributing the Heirs Tour movie. And now they've had to move the release date of their Exorcist sequel to avoid being just completely destroyed at the box office um I fucking love that shit yeah the exorcist

believer was coming out on Friday the 13th um but now it's coming out on Friday the 6th oh shit so she's squatting on Friday the 13th yeah wow good yo I like that's some villain shit that I can I can get behind yeah So she's squatting on Friday the 13th. Yeah. Wow. Good. Yo, I like that.

Some villain shit that I can get behind. Yeah. I appreciate it. Now it's going to come out a week early. Okay. Well, I'm sorry to that exorcist. I really am. I'm sorry. Their decision to get the fuck out of Taylor Swift's way happened literally hours after

she announced her movie release date. It was like kind of immediate yeah well i mean that's good you know you know the gravitational pull of fucking jupiter or in this case the taylor swift concert movie yeah it's that's wild though how like just yeah i don't know we might have to go we might have to review this one miles might have yeah i'm saying it like it's a duty i want to go okay i'm gonna be you are but jack you saw this shit live i want to see how it holds up on the big screen yeah after seeing it live in the flesh okay okay yeah she has the ear monitor problem that she did my conspiracy you're taking

notes like she did it in this one she handled the technical glitch gracefully unlike 50 cent that's right um there's also a may ryan return to rom-coms um that got bumped because of this uh what happens later why what is it with rom-coms about people who are aging that have like these titles that seem like they are a randomly selected sentence fragment yeah and then there was that as good as it gets and and just like that what happens later um i i attack i don't know i don't know i don't know why it's the same thing like when alec baldwin uh something's gotta give i guess that's a phrase that's not like a randomly selected but it also feels like it's in the same um the same family when harry met sally you know crazy rich asians does that work no maybe not maybe not now you're just uh now you're

just naming now i'm just saying names yeah sorry sorry sorry just kind of i'm just getting back into the swing of things brian suggesting a couple uh what's that thing over there where's my hat look who's talking look who's talking is but that's not really a good one yeah yeah i feel like there's one guy who's just like naming these movies that all like i don't know yeah there is a genre of movie title i don't i don't know but let me find the one i'm talking about oh it's complicated is the one that i was thinking of right right right miles we got another fight video yep we do um at the morgan wallen i've been pronouncing morgan whalen uh and for good reason apparently because oh man these morgan wallen fans are wailing on each other by the port-a-potties brother

another video in the category of no one knows how to behave anymore outside uh especially at concerts where a full-on i was like a three person how many people were i believe it ends up at four um like one peacemaker and then someone the the one in the white cowboy boots just comes through just ripping people just ripping wigs um this this is like an eastern pro have you seen the movie eastern promises oh yeah my favorite thing to do where there's like a knife fight where everybody's naked and so like all the parts are exposed and just in the russian flopping around yeah this is This is a Eastern Promises level body horror. The way faces in this actual fight, not directed

by David Cronenberg, are being pushed into porta-potties. And it seems like someone might actually get pushed down the hole. Dude, I thought she was going to kick her down like she was kicking a cardboard box to make it fit into a garbage

can we're like get in there like you're gonna kick her in the cesspit it really like there i will not be using a porta potty again in my lifetime without thinking of this video so and how someone could possibly go in there as much as i've come out and said like no more fight videos guys like this is the culture like this is a part of culture that i can't unsee now um i like you're just putting like david cronen like the cronenberg glasses on to watch that because there's so many different analyses of this video we saw one that was like an mma guy who was talking about the fighting techniques being employed by the different combatants, as you will. Well, you see, she goes outside here, and that's a mistake because the one who has the inner angle is going to win every time.

Oh, yeah. Now she's got control. She's got control. You're like, where have? Well, this is where we are. But I like how everybody are standing upright until the fourth woman who's comes in and is just fucking wrecking people yeah looks like someone who like regularly delivers cattle or something like the strength of being like like i wrestle tiny bovine creatures this is nothing also i like

how the aesthetic though the aesthetic though is so consistent like if you're if you're you know going to the morgan wallen concert you better have your little quarter cowboy boots on you know with your cute outfit because i feel like every i guess because it's a country show like i guess do you look like a total herb if you show up in like sneakers or some shit or flip-flops yeah i would imagine so yeah um flip-flops are for like fish shows um yeah yeah there's also just a underrated um performance by one woman who like just sneaks into one of the porta potties yeah they've been beating each other up inside like at first it seemed like i thought she just had to like go to the bathroom that bad but it seems like maybe she

was like trying to recover something that was dropped in there um oh i like the idea of like having to go to the bathroom because that i identify like just seeing as somebody who's like back when i go to like a lot of festivals and just like that bank of porta potties and just like scanning them all waiting for the next one to fucking open up yeah run in i identify with her just kind of being like yoink i got i don't care what the fuck's going on i have to be i mean she does it very quietly under under the surface it's just like i gotta i gotta get in there and whatever you guys are doing out here that's your thing yeah exactly my name is paul that shit's between y'all. Alright. And finally, just a tragic weekend for easy listening rock

stars. The main thing is the passing of Jimmy Buffett. Yeah. Genre creator. And Jimmy Buffett music is its own type of music. He passed away at the age of 76

following a battle with skin cancer. Oh no. That's what it was. Yeah. Ah, gotta wear the sunscreen folks. I know. And it doesn't,

it feels a little like tragically ironic for someone who's like whole brand was like getting out there in the sun and like basking in the beach and stuff. Yeah, man. UV rays don't fuck around. They do not. Yeah. oh dude i was on a plane when i was coming when i was going back to catch my flight to come home i was sitting next to this dude who was a parrot head and he was like oh no this is like the day it happened and he mentioned jimmy buffett like in some other thing and he's and i was like oh dude i'm like you know

jimmy buffett like how are you feeling he's like he was kind of like didn't really want to talk about it yeah he's like yeah it's sad man it's sad man like it's it's pretty sad and like his voice was a little shaky and I was like you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna let you I'm gonna let you process this however you got to his devote his fan base seems like they are capable of creating a um an urban legend or something where he actually didn't die like oh yeah there's like that level of devotion you know 100 i think i'd imagine they're probably better organized and like could execute a plan better than like even maga republicans like if the parrot heads like really wanted to fucking dial in on something, they can make shit happen.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause they're all like moving towards that same Margaritaville type, you know, Elysium, you know, like they have a shared vision of what Elysium is.

They do. I mean, so I didn't realize that Jimmy Buffett was a billionaire by the time he passed away. Uh, he had not only did he have like Margaritaville chain restaurants, uh, but there were like homes,

there were bars, there were, uh, retirement communities in both Florida and South Carolina. Um, and he was like a big owner in Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway. Um,

so he did well there. Just purely by coincidentally having the same name as Warren Buffett. I think he was just like, we're not related, but it'd be funny if we were. Could you imagine though? I just read a story about how Warren Buffett's son is playing like, like evil oligarch in like Illinois small town politics. So yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll probably talk about it this week. It's pretty, it's pretty wild. Like what his son is up to. So, yeah. So just a couple of Jimmy Buffett stories. One is this tweet from PFT commenter.

Great follow on twitter this kind of went viral and the new york times basically wrote an article summarizing it or like sourcing it out but the original tweet is the best it says cool jimmy buffett story one time he was flying his own plane to jamaica with bono as one does and the the Jamaican authorities misidentified his plane as being a weed smuggler's plane, and they opened fire on it with automatic weapons as he was trying to land it in the bay. He landed, and they boarded his plane and realized it was Jimmy Buffett and Bono.

Instead of complaining, Jimmy was like, no big deal, I've probably gotten away with a lot of stuff I should have been caught for. Instead of suing them, he just wrote a song called Jamaica Mistake about it. Absolute legend. Wow. Okay. Good for you.

I'd heard that song title and I did not know the backstory. That's a real song, huh? Oh, I like how it's spelled. It's Jamaica and the mistake is spelled like Jamaica. M-I-S-T-A-I-C-A. Wow. Okay.

Good for you, Jimmy. Good for you. There's also the this tweet that I really enjoyed from Bill Ryan at Face You Hate retweeted the New York Times obituary, the headline of the New York Times obituary. this tweet that I really enjoyed from Bill Ryan at face. You hate, uh, retweeted the New York times obituary, the headline of the New York times obituary, Jimmy Buffett,

roguish bard of Island escapism is dead at 76. And he quote tweeted that and said, did Mr. Burns write this? Cause it really is the roguish bard of Island. Yeah. Roguish. Bard. bard okay you can just yeah Mr. Margaritaville you know that encapsulates

it a little bit better Steve Harwell too Steve Harwell from Smash Mouth passed away at 56 and due to acute liver failure after a lot of struggles with alcoholism um and then gary wright the guy who sang dreamweaver also so ah you know i remember that song from the wayne's world movie

so i first put it on my map and i was like what is this fantastic track yeah the best. Well, rest in power and margaritas and all that. Yes, rest in smooth vibes. You roguish bard. The roguish bard of island escapism. All right, Miles, I guess that's going to do it for this morning. I guess so. I guess so.
