Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, the internet, and welcome to the Zeitli News with Myles Brokaw. Oh, yeah. I'm Myles Brokaw here. My name is Jack O'Brien. That is Myles Gray. Ah, bro. That temporary title for this segment is courtesy of Colin Emon. Mm. Colin Emon. Colin Emon.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Colin Emon. Let's talk about some trends, man. Man, it's Friday. End of the week. Yeah, what a week. It's time to let these Zeitgang know. You know, I'm actually, when I look at this, there's some hip-hop heavy stuff going on
Starting point is 00:00:37 on the back end of this sweet little dose of news. I mean, up front, too, we got the good liar. Yeah, hip-hop. I mean, who's more hip-hop thanen mary and ian mckellen together on screen i can't believe this movie's trending uh but it is it came out today yeah uh it's got a old twistaroo i think is the reason it's trending when you look at the just the sort of headlines were like, oh my God, it makes the most of Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren. Other ones like, their eye fucking isn't enough is literally a headline from the Portland
Starting point is 00:01:12 Mercury blog. And another one's like- Their eye fucking isn't enough? I guess so. Maybe they wanted them to really bang on screen. To really bang it out. And other ones like, it's fine until a twist. But essentially, it's like a movie about an old con artist who thinks he's doing a con and falls for the mark.
Starting point is 00:01:29 And then is he the mark? There's one part where his eyes are going back and forth like a Calico cat clock. Oh, like from the Got Milk commercials? Yeah, from the Got Milk commercials. It's like very almost cartoonish. But the way he talks is dope. It's kind of like your Brokaw impression. Yeah, Tom Brokaw is the same as Ian McKellen.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Well, maybe not. I gotta hear it a little bit. But I think I saw the trailer for this when I was seeing Last Christmas. Ooh. Listeners, if you haven't seen that one, watch out now. Yeah, strap on your whatever you gotta do when you see a terrible movie.
Starting point is 00:02:02 But also, I will say, I know we're getting off topic a little bit. Emilia Clarke, I'm really loving her as a rom-com star. You've been talking about her nonstop. Love her. You said she's the next Helen Mirren. She's the next, what's the other one from Bridget Jones' diary?
Starting point is 00:02:17 Bridget Jones. Bridget Jones. Renee Zellweger. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Helen Mirren, Ian McKellen. I love this dude. I love this director.
Starting point is 00:02:26 He directed Kinsey. As I told you, it has one of my favorite scenes in it. The scene where he goes to see the guy who's, I think he's a sexual predator, but has an unparalleled sexual appetite. And he brags that he can go from flaccid to orgasm in six seconds and then demonstrates it. And then proves it. And it involves the sound, hop, hop, hop.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Wow. It's comedic, but essentially it's the same thing as other scandals that happen where a person's just like, yeah, I'm going to start masturbating for you. Exactly. Great scene. Great scene. One of the greats. Let's talk about what else is trending apparently you can get paid a thousand dollars uh to watch hallmark holiday movies miles it's been great
Starting point is 00:03:12 working with you but this job was clearly created for you and also based on the amount of people uh listeners who sent me this article or articles about this. So on the surface, it sounds like the dopest thing ever. It's like, yo, man, you want to fucking watch 24 fucking Hallmark movies in a day or something, two days or whatever, and you get $1,000, and people think it's a job. It is not a job. You have said that you watch your Hallmark movies at 2x speed. Oh, yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:03:42 That's because I got to cram them in. So the whole thing is it's actually a contest and that has nothing to do with the hallmark channel in any official or formal capacity and so it's a contest where fucking one person will get chosen um but then when you really look at it oh man the devil's in the details on this one read the fine prizzy because it says after they find the one winner you basically have to watch these 48 hours worth of movies and
Starting point is 00:04:09 really that just works out to be less than $20 an hour so that's you know I know it sounds cool but really I think your time is better spent and then the real deal here is that it's being put together by this company called Internet Service Partners,
Starting point is 00:04:27 a third-party sales agent for CenturyLink doing business as CenturyLinkQuote.com. So to enter, you've got to give up all this motherfucking personal information. And then they're like, whoa, we won't give it to a third party, but we may sell it to them. Yes, they will. We will not give it. They say they already have like 75,000 submissions. So I think they did a that's a pretty good way to get people to
Starting point is 00:04:49 give up some of their personal information. It's the shadow economy of selling information about all of us. Yeah, and it's, oh man. I mean, otherwise this sounds like a great deal. Yeah, no, it's amazing. Jabberwockies is trending on Twitter, which is not the um
Starting point is 00:05:09 shakespeare poem not the shakespeare isn't that shakespeare jabberwocky i don't think so oh is that t.s elliott maybe no it is the jabberwocky is by lewis carroll lewis carroll of course damn it i showed my fucking ass such an idiot and I didn't even fucking major in English. This is a dance crew. Yes. I didn't know about them. I will. I'm not ashamed.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I am a little ashamed to admit. I didn't know about them, but they're dope as fuck. They won the winners. They were the winners of the first season of America's Best Dance Crew. Oh, okay. And yeah, shout out to my boy, Fee, who's in in the, Jeff in the Jabberwockies, OG member. They are trending because they're in the new DaBaby video. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:05:51 Yeah. And it's a great video. It's a great video, man. His videos are fun. They harken back to old school fun hip hop videos. Yeah, it's a great video that I'm going to have to watch some of his other videos and this video another dozen times today probably. Yeah, because it's one continuous cut, basically, shot in that same sort of downtown New York back lot set on the Warner lot.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Which I'm sure when you see, you'll be like, I know this from fucking everything. Right. But yeah, good sets of dance crews and just fun visuals. One woman who is in a handstand, basically twerking it in a handstand. The whole time? Yes. Like, I was afraid she was going to get a nosebleed. She may have.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Right. I think you can. Yeah, she's turned away at one point and presumably just bleeding through her nostrils. That's a good thing, right? If you're inverted too long, you can just get a wild nosebleed? Or is that like an old- I remember David Blaine stayed upside down for a long time and that was his trick just not getting a nosebleed yeah well you're like that'll kill you apparently oh like if you're inverted and all your blood just
Starting point is 00:06:55 like pulls rushes to your head yeah yeah and i know somebody who knows something about that trick and he didn't even stay upside down the whole time. Wow. Yeah. Who's that? Can't tell you. Okay. Cannot reveal my sources. All right. Okay. Wow.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Wait, so you could have just blown the whole thing open right now, but you're sitting on But I can't do it, man. Can't do it. And they say we're not journalists. All right, it's David Blaine. Me and David are tight. He's the homie. I mean, I think I said it off mic, but I remember seeing a video of him
Starting point is 00:07:27 showing people how he was holding his breath or training his lungs to be able to hold his breath for so long. And that led to a lot of stupid experiments for me. Yeah. Early YouTube, seeing videos of David Blaine explainers, I could have had a terrible career as a failed magician. It's taken about five years for the spell to wear off.
Starting point is 00:07:49 I watched a David Blaine video. I was like, that dude's actually really talented. Hey, man, who's that? Yeah, but now. Somebody write that guy's name down. On my arm with ash. All right. And finally, Big Sean and Jheneiko are trending yeah because they have a new
Starting point is 00:08:07 song they have a new song they were exes they are exes they are not together she had the big sean face tattoo yes she had big sean's face hat and then had to cover it up with like a really aggressive starscape or something she basically covered it up right um but people the reason why people are talking no it's not just because two exes who haven't, you know, maybe could benefit from having their names bubble up a little bit again, put out a video for her song
Starting point is 00:08:34 None of Your Concern, but it's the lyrics that have people melting in their keyboards, in their mentions. So it's Ty Dolla $ign and Jhene Aiko just doing their thing. And then Big Sean, oh God, comes in at the end. And oh God, lets people know, oh God,
Starting point is 00:08:52 that he made Jhene Aiko come nine times at once. Oh God. At once? I don't know. This is the lyrics. But every time I lay down, I think about you naked. And if you find my replacement, how could you? I made you come nine times in one day
Starting point is 00:09:05 Your two lips should come in a vase Two lips? You wrote You wrote my face I realize you look as good as you taste Yeah Oh god Fingers all in your mouth
Starting point is 00:09:15 I'm grabbing you up And digging you down I'm grabbing your waist Your room is my only escape I guess that's none of your concern Now Oh god When you listen to the song It's actually like he kind of switches up the flow at the
Starting point is 00:09:28 I made you come nine times in one day part, which makes it just sound like he's just starting to just like cram shit in there a little bit, which is just kind of a weird effect of that. He's singing. He's like, and if you find my replacement, how could you? I mean, if you come nine times in one day, your tulips should come out of base. You rub my face. Also, I don't want to get too hyper-focused on the lyrics here, but your tulips should come in a vase. So I guess he's just using the mere pun of the labia to be the flower of tulip.
Starting point is 00:10:04 using the mere pun of the labia to be the flower, a tulip, but should come in a vase, meaning come to say that it should be presented to him in a vase or come the colloquial term for orgasm. That's actually Big Sean's kink. If you pay attention to his lyrics across multiple albums, he asks that people come in a vase and hand it to him. And he likes to jerk off into vases.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Into the vase. So Big Sean actually procreates like a fish, and he comes on other people's cubs. Oh, right, eggs. He's like, first of all, put your eggs in this vase. I'll come in this vase, and then how does this work again? I'm very confused. I have a vase kink.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Hey, it's the end of the week. Yeah. At the end of the week, we come to the ultimate truth. Big Sean spawns like a fish. Spawns like a fish spawns like a fish big spawn and apparently is putting it down putting it down he may not be tall in stature but they call him big for another reason now i do wonder if his feature came in after and so she couldn't come in and be like i told you i came nine times right fine yeah yeah, fine. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. He's like, to opt out of this verse, please click now on this email.
