Welcome to this episode of Zyte Little Pony. Trendship is magic. And that comes straight off the Zyte Gang Discord. Shout out to Face Forward with that one. It be me, Miles G, in the place to be, with the one DJ, Danil G. That's me, baby. We're both G-men. We are both G-men.

Indeed. Both hitting the G-pen. You know what I mean? Only all day. Are they still around? G-pen? I don't know. They may have just moved into cartridges for other fucking pods now. They're just like, you know what? Fuck it. PAX won the battle.

We'll just make G-Pen PAX pods. Yeah, that's true. And then there was like the Cloud Pen. You know, the Concentrate Portable Wars were very, very energetic back then. I believe it was around 2012, 13. Yeah, they were hot. It was really bubbling, as we'd say. God bless.

Little dab will do you. Anyway, so let's talk about what's trending on God's green internet. What is trending? Starting off, obviously the big news. Gretchen Whitmer has been trending because some right-wing terrorists hatched a plan to kidnap the governor of Michigan. Yep. And the FBI, like a movie, they had informants.

They were monitoring them. They had infiltrated this group. And then some arrests happened. God bless. We'll get into more of those details later. Yes, we will. Into the episode tomorrow. But yeah, I mean, this, yeah.

People have been talking, like, you know, civil war has been coming out of the mouths of a lot of these people. And it's been very clear based on this know, civil war has been coming out of the mouths of a lot of these people, and it's been very clear based on this complaint, this charging document or whatever the legalese is for the paperwork that came out with it, saying that they're very much, their intent was to kidnap her and hopefully trigger

some kind of civil war. Yeah. Amongst many other things, too. It wasn't just, they had all kinds of things from, you know, blowing up the Capitol building in Michigan. It was... Disgusting shit. Yeah. So, yeah. just they had all kinds of things from you know blowing up the capitol building in michigan it was disgusting shit yeah uh so yeah glad it didn't happen uh it's it's all happening and it's always

been happening too so yes i i would hope to the media uh just if you are on a you know tv person doing news try to use the word terror terrorism terrorist please because there's a lot of like extremists and there are separatists like you got really trying to you really got the thesaurus out to do anything but call these white men terrorists truly uh yes truly uh this episode brought to you by brought to you by truly you'll need one after hearing the news. I don't know. You ever drink it? Yes. You hit seltzers? I have so little opinion on the seltzer matter. I will drink anything. I'll drink anything.

That's fine. Throw it at me. Let's do it. I'll drink anything if you call it alcohol. It might not even be alcohol, but you tell me it is. Down the hatch it goes. Down the hatch it goes. Coming in at number...

How do we want to do this? Do we want to go top four to number one, or one counting down? One down to four. Let's count down. Let's count down. Okay. This would be number 30, right?

So that would be Gretchen was one. Oh, okay. So we're starting. So number four. Gretchen, the plot to kidnap a governor, not that important. That's not even tertiary. But this one is tertiary trend.

Let's be real. The last story is the most important. Oh, yeah. The 25th Amendment is trending because Nancy Pelosi. Nancy. On her Constitution gangster shit where she's saying, you know, the 25th Amendment, I'm going to be talking about that this Friday. Tune in.

Love it. Tomorrow. Love it. amendment we i'm going to be talking about that this friday tune in love it tomorrow love it um because you know alluding to the president's just behavior since he's contracted covet and the fact that he has covet and was hospitalized uh does bring to the forefront the talk of succession and how that would work yes um and if the president is not in a place or capacity to execute his duties, some would say he has not been from the get-go. No. But now I guess this is a, I mean, now that you're like,

okay, this man is sick, he's being even more Trump than normal. I guess that's now it's a cause for concern. But yes, we shall see what happens but it's funny because some someone on the right like tweeted like quote or talked about this tweet about nancy pelosi being like yo she's evoking the what is this some kind of coup or whatever blah blah blah and then this other legal expert is like that's not what the 25th amendment is it's not how it works and it's not a coup and then donald trump tweeted that tweet he retweeted the one that was the takedown of the argument like two sub tweets down no so he he he basically

retweeted no no right right fence of it like the like what oh oh he he saw that tweet and he was like yep rt that shit baby but it's like you just you just that was like a bro anyway okay cool you just tweeted the it's okay they can do this and i mean combined with all this shit we're seeing now this video just came out of him fucking i'm pretty sure green screened in front of the white house uh saying weird shit like and seniors they want to talk about how you're vulnerable you're not vulnerable you're the least vulnerable everybody knows that but for this one thing you're vulnerable yes i'm not sure what he's talking to who he's talking about what this is where i am what year

this is but i don't know dan you think his hands look bigger than normal hands look bigger than normal his hands are friggin photo chopped. Look at them. That's After Effects right there. Yeah. I mean, he looks like he could like definitely probably hold like 12 baseballs in one hand. But I don't know. Maybe he has the hands the size of Johnny Bench. Maybe that's just like how he gets down. I don't know.

I mean, maybe. But those look like huge hands. And they're specifically like doing the exact same motion over and over again so it's like look just like not that's not a lot of animation on these hands let's just make them look real keep them in place boom yeah it's whatever there's a and so yes uh shit could you imagine if it comes out he was really like you got a deep fake my fucking hands i need javon curse hands and that shit i want to have a ruler between my thumb and my pinky like it's nothing bro literally yes which it would be i wouldn't i wouldn't deny that i mean i

wouldn't doubt that if that came out that he was like, he didn't want to leave his room. He wanted gigantic hands. He literally asked at one point for him to fucking throw a ice spike through a dragon's heart that was circling the White House. Oh my God. And he kept asking about dragon glass. He said he needs to get his hands on dragon glass.

It's just... Need to get the dragonglass. Anyway, I need it. I'm not fucking around. You know what I mean? If we got to mine that shit, let's do it. Let's take the bug right down there. So the also thing that's trending

and coming in at number two, our secondary trend, is the AMD Ryzen Zen 3 5K series. Danil, what in the fuck is that? Why is that trending? So it's a new series of processors. So there's two teams in the computer processor game. You got Intel, you got AMD.

And AMD just came out with a new series of rippers. So it's kind of like the NVIDIA announcement that happened a couple weeks ago where there's all these sick-ass graphics. Our engine go faster. Our engine go faster, and this engine go faster for less money. So, you know, if you're buying a computer and you need a nice CPU, maybe look at that new Ryzen Zen 3 technology. Get yourself a 5900X.

Wow. That's good? That's real good. It's real nice. All right. 16 cores. It's a lot of cores all right 16 cores it's a lot of cores it's a lot of threads gonna handle my uh floppy disk copy of sim city 2000 oh buddy it could handle color could handle like 40 different versions of that all running at the same time

it's 32 bits 32 bits man 32 bits we got enough watch out baby what is that 5k i got 32 bits, man. 32 bits. We got enough bits, baby. What is that, 5K? Well, I got 32 bits right here. You only got 5Ks. I got 32 bits right here, pal. About the biggest 32s you've ever seen. Ay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay. But no, it's nice. It's good new technology.

It's great. I'm excited about it. That's all. All right, good. How's the... Ray tracing is just for video, right? That's just video, yeah. But these will be... You couple that with that other one.

What, you got a beast? Is that what I'm talking about? Boom, boom, boom. Bing, bang, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom? That's just video, yeah. But these will be- You couple that with that other one, what you got a beast? Is that what I'm talking about? Boom, boom, boom. Bing, bang, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom. The more you know- Boom. About building your own PC,

which I don't know nothing about. Okay. And finally, coming in at number one, the new one, one, one. Woo, woo, ha. You know, shout out to everybody who knows that sample. There you go.

Sister Act 3- Yay. Is trending because Whoopi Goldberg is saying with every fiber of her being, you can count on it. You can count on it. Sister Act 3 is happening. I don't know if this also has Kathy Najimy in it, but I do remember Sister Act 1 and 2 very well. I think we all remember Lauryn Hill uh being in sister act i believe two

oh yeah was it which one was she in she's in one of them either way i think i do love uh that was the other one where i learned the song uh like my guy but when they made it my god i didn't know that song really before and i think i will follow him follow him wherever he may go. Actually, you know what? Technically, that's like a musical, right? I guess so. Or it's a musical comedy. Yeah, I'll take it. Very, very, very songy.

Because in a way, I'm like, maybe I do fuck with musicals. Musicals are tight. Is it, though? I don't know. I don't know what to do. So, yeah, we'll see what happens, uh, with that new one. I just remember Harvey Keitel was the bad guy.

I wonder what they're going to have. What's this one's going to be. He's a good bad guy. He can do it. Harvey Keitel. He's so good. He's so good. He needs to do something like he needs a,

like a kind of getting out of his shell role. You know what I mean? That'd be fun. You know, Harvey Keitel was an amazing, uh, Roger Rabbit. what i mean that'd be fun you know harvey kytel was an amazing uh roger rabbit there's something great i don't know something about him like this he's doing a real uh like christopher lily thing where he's like playing multiple characters in this mockumentary it's

it's really something else that would be actually wild i would love i would truly love to see that that would be fantastic or daniel day lewis or like one of these other like hyper method dudes yes doing fucking like stupid ass mockumentary though but like putting that much yes that much energy into it it'll probably be bad because it'll be too serious it'll be a little they would take it too real yeah it's like it actually took 17 years to shoot this because he took a year in between like fucking scenes to fully immerse himself fully the character oh god that's fun oh who is he playing oh this high school kid named dweebo who is just uh and it's weird it's it's a totally ancillary character he smokes one of his dreadlocks in the parking lot of the school, and that took a year.

Yeah, that's the whole scene. He had to grow the dreads. Yeah. Fantastic. And it's the funny thing. It's mostly a physical comedy bit because he's coughing up a storm because obviously you cannot smoke your hair and inhale it. But again, he did a lot of work. He went into the Wook world. He got some crystals.

He did everything he could. Yep. Love it. All right, man. Well, Dan, thanks for stopping by. Miles, thanks for having me. Always a pleasure. You know, friendship is magic, and us doing this show is a true testament to that.

Amen to that, brother. All right, everybody. Have a good day. Stay blessed. Don't be stressed. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Stay distant if you can, and kick white supremacy in its ass. Hell yeah. See a good day. Stay blessed. Don't be stressed. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Stay distant if you can.
