90210 ref. Oh. Is that from you, Miles? Yep. Yep. Yep. I'm just seeing the title matrix at the moment. Nice. Well, you are, Miles. I am. I am. Yes, yep. I'm just seeing the title matrix at the moment.

Nice. Well, you are, Miles. I am, Jack. I am. Yes, sir. And here are some of the things that are trending here this afternoon. The locks versus dip set is trending because that is a recently announced versus. And I haven't really been paying that much attention to these verses but uh i don't know does this one excite you no i mean it seems pretty lopsided to me

yeah a dip set has more hits that people know like as a group um the locks i mean but personally like i'm a huge jadakiss and styles p fan chic luch not so much not that i dislike chic but i just you know i some his solo work didn't quite break through as uh maybe jada's and styles stuff did but i think like on twitter though everyone's saying like this should be g unit verse dip set not locks the locks versus dip set um so you know i i kind of agree but i mean the locks has had a really weird career like if you really want to get into it it's like i mean the deal that they had with bad boy was terrible um and that definitely set them back for a while and then they had to go to rough riders and then they did their own stuff so it hasn't been an easy road for those three. Yeah, you were saying it should be Wu-Tang versus Dipset, and then Brian and I, Super Producer Brian and I,

were saying that's too much. Wu-Tang is kind of too good, would be too hard of a matchup. But we were trying to think of the dream verses that would balance with Wu-Tang. Maybe Death Row? Like Death Row wu-tang maybe death row with like death row versus wu-tang um yeah i mean it's it's hard which i mean i think i'll just i'll be so myopic in my wu-tang love that i'll be like it'll beat everybody um but yeah that would be i mean like those are out like because when you put out again individually but then it it's different, right? Like Wu Tang wasn't necessarily like a label like death row is,

but, and it was a, you know, can you compare the two? If you're going to do that, I guess you'd have to start button label, like putting labels up against each other. But then I guess we were,

we're zooming out too far for this conversation. But, um, all that to say is good luck to them. Um, but I have a feeling, I don't know. Wow.

How do, how do New Yorkers feel like? Cause I like I hear Desus and Mero talk about, I feel like they've hypothesized about this potential battle before. And they're always going to say Dipset. You know, Dipset, they have, again, they have more hits. They have more hits. If you're going purely off of songs people know, they have more hits. If you're going off of songs people listen to and enjoy uh you're

kidding what's your measure here however if you're uh a the locks fan you know that things might be different yeah things might be things might be different um all right uh fleets RIP, their brief time by design, you know, in our timelines and then On Twitter, yeah. In existence, period. So Twitter had their, it was like three years too late. They decided to do some tweets that would expire, disappear. decided to do some tweets that would expire, disappear. And they introduced that fairly recently. And people are like, okay.

Like we have so many other apps that have tried to like Instagram already ripped off Snapchat. What are we doing? We're going back to slingshot on Facebook, that app from 2014. Where are we going with this? Anyways, it's gone. did you ever use it i was trying to think of like what i would use it for like what it was just confounding because i'm like instagram stories is this right so and that's the place to do that like it's it's weird how like in my mind that each platform is like siloed for the kind of content you have i'm like this is just for weird words twitter yeah instagram stories made sense because instagram feeds were

like people were felt like somewhat precious and like that there was pressure on like posting something so like when stories came along it was like oh yeah i can just like throw disposable shit up there and it's like i can share a little bit more whereas like twitter it's like there there just like wasn't a version of twitter that like demanded forgettableness twitter's already disposable so it's not like right or like oh finally the pressure's off and i can just like drop these tweets that nobody's going to give a shit about in a day it's like that's already twitter man that's that's the whole ball game yeah and that's why like most people are like give us an edit feature you fucking idiots um and that's what people want more than fleets but i

don't know if people are going to do that, whatever. I find myself slowly and slowly distancing myself from social media on some level. In the name of self-preservation. Yeah. I don't think I need the, again, because of the disposable thing. Like if you fuck up, if you misspell something, or if you're wrong, just delete your tweet. Like why do people need the edit function?

I don't know. I think it's just because they don't want to delete stuff i don't know i don't that's where i'm like i get it you know that's where it's tough because you get off a fire tweet and then you always see the thing it's like fuck i had a typo and it's like it went off anyway yeah people are people got it just and also like if you're going to be a parent about like look let that look, let that sting of failure help you do better in the future. You're just paying your tuition to the school of experience. Now you're an idiot forever.

Are you happy? Game four is trending. Game four of the finals, probably the most intriguing game to this point because now we have a Milwaukee Bucks victory to look back at. We've seen what it looks like to have both teams kind of win convincingly. Game three was pretty interesting because Giannis looked, uh, unbelievable, like unstoppable various times. Uh, it's like,

this could very well go in the direction that like, oh shit, Giannis just took it over, put the team on his back and they won in six. Uh, it could also go the direction of that was an aberration and, you know, the sun's winning five.

I could see it going either way. I'd love it if it was like a back and forth and it goes to seven uh we will see um i would love i'm i i would love to see a long hard fought series i don't want to see one i don't want to see the suns take it away not that i'm rooting against them but just as now as a neutral watching i'm like yeah i i like seeing i like seeing people just come out and be like i must win you know people have so many different motivations in this final series to get finally get that chip um it's and it's just great to watch it's uh it's also like a thing when where the games aren't as fun to watch when the bucks don't play well because like the bucks are kind

of ugly when they're not in their uh like rhythm like the the game just like it's ugly and like kind of ground down whereas like the suns are always fun to watch like even when they lose they're fun to watch yeah so like that's that's a reason that i like root for the bucks that isn't really fair it's just like i just want to watch fun basketball i'm like they're when they don't have their shit going it's kind of kind of boring at least in this series um while we're on the subject of basketball teams not having their shit going uh two in a row two losses in a row in these uh tune-up games for usa basketball so i kept reading these headlines and i was like oh they must like nobody played right like i i had heard kevin love played for the team and i was like oh it must be like kevin love and some college or worse uh that is playing on this team once i saw them start losing

you know it's kevinant and Dame Lillard. The squad is stacked and they're losing to Australia and Nigeria in these tune-up games. Not to go full Stephen A, but that is surprising. It's definitely

a different sport than NBA basketball. Didn't the Nigeria team not have, didn't the Nigeria team not have any pros on their team? I don't know. I didn't even bother like looking at the lineup for the Nigeria and the Australia team, but yeah,

it's, I mean, there, there's definitely something with, uh, you know, teams that play together and like have some sort of chemistry but you know it's it's gonna be wild if if the u.s just goes out there with kevin durant and dame lillard and

uh you know just a completely stacked squad bradley beal and like just like doesn't even medal that would be wild you're gonna look like what was it when did Larry Brown coach is that 04 yeah yeah and that was an absolute disaster and harmed a few people's careers but yeah I mean

when you think about it like with these national teams like these not like especially like Australia you know like these guys like especially like australia you know like these guys like you're saying they've played together for a long time and they've played under fiba rules and stuff they know like they know how to play internationally very well and yeah like when you just get the the soup like the avengers who like don't really aren't fully gelling together it's not always going to be a blow up but i don't know i mean i guess they're playing a preserve my panic for later yeah they're playing a different sport because the three-point line's further in everything's more packed in really favors like

you know basically shooting over everything um so i don't know we'll see whatever i mean yeah whatever if they lose they lose And shout out to whoever wins. But you think like you got Pop as the head coach. I know. That's the other thing. I was like, okay, who's coaching? Because their career is about to be, oh, it's the greatest basketball coach in the last four years. Oh, it's Greg Popovich?

Greg Popovich. Never mind. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you I want you back in my life it's too late for that 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 one session 24 hours BPM 110 120 she's terrified Like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified.

Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?

followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we thank Latin culture.

so fucking dumb but it's that's taking up a lot of air on the internet why is that even a news story like writing about that like what the the in the first place how is that a story um i don't know i don't know the the reporters might not have a right-wing bias but the people who write the headlines certainly find a way to just fucking twist everything to the right i feel yeah um and there's also like people are saying like um maybe it's lightning maybe it was vandalism jesus so that's not totally known at the moment at least at the time of whatever loose reporting there is right now but it's just again stupid culture war shit to just not even culture war just just unbelievably untethered racism.

But yeah, the internet. Yes. Jerry O'Connell is trending because it is 1999. No, Jerry O'Connell is trending because he is replacing Sharon Osbourne on the talk. I, he seems like a charming guy.

Seems lovely, right? I guess. I mean, it's been so long. I'm confused by this. I'm like, is this a like-for-like trade? If we're on a sports team, is Sharon Osbourne... You're like, all right, man, let's sub out Osbourne, get Jerry O'Connell in there at the five.

Like, I don't know. But I'm guessing maybe based on like the audience involved, like Jerry O'Connell still must have some kind of drawing power. That's very, yeah. It would be like Sean Astin or like, you know, like who? Right. It's just an actor from like back in the day um what is it please let us know anyone who understands the appeal of jerry o'connell is it that he's like i've definitely heard him i've heard him interviewed or like seen him do a podcast maybe i don't know but he i just remember him being like very like

kind of bouncy and like positive and having a good sense of humor about himself but right yeah i think i don't know and he's like uh is he married to rebecca romaine stamos or was at one point oh really i don't know it's so hard it's it's hard to keep up jack everyone's rebecca romaine stamos o'connell is that uh well can't wait to uh continue to not watch the talk to find out right uh jason sudeikis is trending uh because i mean he's uh nominated for a bunch of emmys for to the lasso show that i know you and i both uh haven't seen uh so i saw the first three episodes because i did that thing where i i'm like i i gave apple enough money already i i can't i can't now pay for more content.

You're out. Yeah. But I did remember I had like, because I got an Apple Watch like a few months ago that I had like some just default sort of subscription to Apple TV. So I watched the first, almost the whole season. It was fun. I get the appeal.

Like it's super wholesome. Like it has a heart and it makes you feel optimistic. And I think given when it was coming out, it was the kind of show that people could watch and feel good after watching. And being like, everything's fucked. But really, all this has done is brought up basically the internet's and pop culture's obsession

with him and Olivia Wilde's failed marriage because they split in november of 2020 and and she left him for harry styles and i saw headlines being like to this day jason sudeikis doesn't know quote why uh marriage failed with olivia wilde and he's like in this gq thing talking about all kinds of things about how he's getting over it yeah what is it i could help you out uh harry styles is uh harry styles he's like yeah that do i have to say more it's harry styles that's apparently the the earth's one of the most desired people right now i'm a big jason sudeikis fan i like i when he was on snl huge huge fan uh loved his work since uh seems like a really nice dude um and yo man i can i i can enlighten you on why she left you for her

story bro i i was also at a child's birthday one one-year-old's birthday party with Harry Styles. This is getting to the level of a British coal gas study, the thing that I bring up the most. But I was there, did see Harry Styles. And I was like, you should leave me for him to my wife. What are you doing? What are you doing with me? Are you dumb? Are you dumb? He was so nice to everyone like it was either like he he's going to like continue to have a big career and everybody be in love with

him or he was going to be like president of the world or something because he just like makes everyone feel like he likes them and he's their friend and uh that's the most consistent anecdote i hear about anyone who's crossed paths with harry styles is like he's actually a one of the sweetest people i've ever met i'm like this guy's got it all huh god damn it but they say in this story in this uh story in gq he's talking about like this breakup and how it's affected him and he said i'll have a better understanding of why in a year and an even better one in two and even greater one in five and then he goes on to say it'll go from being you know the book of my life to becoming a chapter to a paragraph to a line to a word to a doodle

and then he says goes on to say um that's an experience you either learn from or make excuses about about the split he says you can you take some responsibility for it hold yourself accountable for what you do but then also endeavor to learn something beyond the obvious the obvious from it which is that harry styles is hotter than you um and that could be it i don't know i don't know what the lesson is maybe he did do something oh did he say no no no oh beyond the obvious which is hairstyles i would i would respect the fuck out of that it's like but on the obvious like obviously i mean i'm not out here trying to say are you serious but give me a shot olivia please i don't hope that our marriage was built on something more

than i guess jason's hot yeah so uh all right well those are some of the things that are trending we are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show until then uh be kind to each other be kind to yourselves wear a mask the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy's sex talk. This show is la platica like you've never heard it before.
