and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? It's right here in black and white in print. It's bigger than a flag or mascot. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Unzidentified Trending Objects.

I am Jack. That is Miles. That short show title is courtesy of Paul Gravanta. Nope. Paul Garavanta. There it is. Shout out to you paul i'm jack that's miles this is what's trending israel is now targeting the like electricity and internet grid like trying to basically cut off the palestinian people from communication with the outside world yeah just all infrastructure it's i don't know man it's real real scary uh a palestinian journalist was just killed uh in his home in a strike from the israeli military

and you got joe biden who's like the news is like patting his back they're like oh my he said the most forceful uh statement yet to which essentially boiled down to him telling netanyahu's like hey you better you better you better you better tone it down over there yeah like what that's not forceful at all significant de-escalation today um but i don't know and so yeah you know house democrats have also introduced a you know resolution to block the arms sale because yeah we're watching you're seeing footage of american arms destructing these people's homes and the amount let's say over almost 60 000 people have been displaced internally already because of all the the destruction yeah

shit's fucking ridiculous. Yeah. But we'll see. We'll see what. Straight up war crime after war crime after war crime by a like legitimately they're trying to ethnically cleanse the people. I think I hope that for people who don't understand American imperialism and you're new to the show this is this is part of that you know that you have to understand what this looks like and also another generation of people who are looking at the united states foreign policy as it relates to the middle east and being like

oh fuck that fucking place yeah um there's nothing's like you know we're doing the same fucked up shit so I'm curious to see what kind of ceasefire happens or de-escalation whatever that means without like actual you know repercussions yeah but this is the right wing Israeli government like they are trying to

do what it looks like they're trying to do it's not it's not complicated they're trying to do. It's not complicated. They're colonialists. All right. And less serious violence. People were really upset with us for thinking that we could defeat a goose.

Me in particular, I thought I could take out a goose. I didn't know that this was a big meme that geese are tough and difficult to defeat in armed combat. Were you familiar with this meme? I mean, I've seen videos, or I don't know. No, not the meme, but I remember geese attack videos on the internet back in the day. I've seen it, but you know.

Ben Lewis tweeted at us a wiki hound uh i guess a play on wiki how like infographic uh how to stop a goose attack one watch for warning signs if the goose begins to honk it is already too late for you two do not run geese can fly and you will not escape its wrath three do not fight geese can kill you in over 400 weight so it's like a chuck norris type thing do not call for help the geese has the geese have hacked your phone all your friends are geese in disguise the government has the government has already fallen like that one and then five accept your fate calmly anyway shout out i i am in no way confident my ability to uh win in any violent conflict so i i'm sure goose could take me out i thought they had a big exposed neck but i'm sure uh i'm i'm underestimating something i'm guessing that's just how they draw you in

and then uh they take you out yeah i mean look look i mean what i'm reading though i say a lot of injuries happen from people trying to flee the geese you know i mean not because the geese got put their wings on you and gave you that work so um right they don't i still i'll put money on you to a in a death match you'll beat a you'll beat a a death match. Right. But that's assuming that... You may be fucked up on the other side, though. You may be tremendously fucked up. It may be like when the mountain fought, you know, homeboy Pablo Pascal and shit. If Pablo Pascal actually did that to himself by trying to run away from the mountain.

Oh, no! Fuck! oh no fuck there's another one of these kitchen hacks on TikTok that is making people angry Anna cursed us by sending this

yeah super producer Anna Hosnier cursed us so it is a McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese like how to consume it more efficiently says so basically

you take the quarter pounder with cheese you put it in a blender with some water you add a bunch of ketchup and mustard this poor person who is doing this does not use heinz ketchup which yeah what the

fuck was um that was that was my biggest objection uh anyways they they uh blended up into a smooth paste put it inside of a uh panty hoe what is that what the a single they were using hosiery they were using hosiery um take them to church with that hosiery uh and then so you make a a tube it looks like um you know a big tube of ground meat if you've ever had low quality ground beef uh and then you put it in the fridge and then take it out and do like slices like you slice it up, um, and serve it on crackers. Uh, it, oh, I think there were fries in there as well. Yeah.

They put fries in there too. Um, I, I don't see why this makes everyone so furious because I am much more cynical about like what is in other processed foods. Like I don't, I don't think that any of the dips that we are eating that are made by the Tostito company have... You would want to see what goes into that, personally. I would assume that it's not that delicious. I mean, that whole process just looks like

they were making a weird form of crack or something. Like she was just wringing out all the fucking moisture and putting it in the hose and cooling it and then slicing it up and chopping it. I think some people are speculating that all of these are like fetish videos. Like some manner of like mukbang. Like horniness. Like into the consumption. like uh like horniness like into the consumption like oh grab that grab that shit pile with the pantyhose and turn it into a sliceable loaf yeah i'm good on that i mean it just doesn't like i'm sure it doesn't it just tastes probably like this confusing mouthful of mcdonald's and

that's not yeah whatever i don't know what that how that ends up as like a mono flavor you know what i mean like i can kind of conceptualize it but as a spread whatever it looked like straight up if you put if there were like crackers that were quarter pounder with cheese meal flavored uh so it had the had the french fries in there as well i would try that shit that wouldn't bother me like obviously it would be less less moist less uh pasty uh so probably would would be a little bit more appetizing but i don't know it just seems like everything if you're eating processed food it's probably gross like you don't you don't want to know what's going in there um it's probably not food in the first place, but that's,

I'm not here for the ingredients. Okay. I'm here for the end game Flav. Exactly. Uh, but I, I did enjoy this comment directly under the video. This is why I just don't bother with Tik TOK.

Nothing but idiots wanting attention by doing stupid shit like this, or that awful dancing nonsense, which I love that last bit because it's like they're trying to net now i know for sure that you're an objective observer and not like working through uh some issues in your personal life an awful dancing nonsense god joy they're so hard also have you tried getting down that playboy cardi sega remix i can't get my footwork that quick uh everybody's so happy for attention they're just trying they just want your attention they're really sad on the inside because their wife left them um um like what okay okay uh and then uh in more uh important mcdonald's based news i don't know you know probably more important uh there is a strike taking place yeah mcdonald's strike

mcdonald's workers uh striking for yeah to get you know to get this minimum wage up it's why there's also another study about how much the pandemic has even changed the attitudes a lot of people who are working that a lot of people are like i'll never do the job i used to do again like i just will never do it again um and people i think as people get more in touch again with what the value of their labor is and what the absurd cost of living and surviving is in this country yeah you're gonna see more people advocating for themselves in this way so yeah i hope y'all get i mean the fuck man the fucking government should be doing this shit

um but yeah look you're never gonna do your job again jack you're never gonna never gonna get get any benefits i hope you like being hungry um that is my jordan biden impression oh um uh what are you gonna do i mean yeah we'll see what happens i this is like again just whether it's this you know made up new thing where the chamber of commerce is doing everything they can to pressure local governments and state governments and the federal government to take away people's um unemployment benefits so they can force people back into these shitty wages i mean yeah we're just you know all things are in flux at the moment but and hopefully hopefully for the better um not to be distracting from more important issues but i just realized how close my name rhymes to joe biden jack joe biden oh jack o'brien yeah so uh that's something maybe there's something there maybe that you can do that one of your tiktok videos

oh watch my footwork jack watch my footwork i hate this goddamn website nothing but malarkey uh all right that is gonna do it for uh this afternoon we're back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves get the vaccine don't do nothing about white supremacy and we will talk to y'all tomorrow bye bye what happens when a professional football player's career ends and the applause fades and the screaming fans move on i am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
