That's courtesy of Andrew Thomas. Actually, he did That Way to the Trenjer Zone, which I prefer. Far superior. A Trenjer's endgame.

Yeah, yeah. I'm Jack. That's Miles. And we are joined today by DJ Dano. Thank you so much. I appreciate you. You're welcome. Out of the editing cave.

Is that a drop right there? Is that a DJ Daniel drop? I'm keeping that. Yeah, keep that. It's like the new Maybach music. Take that. Daniel, we wanted to ask you, what's the latest on the PS5? Like, what is it?

What is it? Well, the next generation of consoles have both officially launched. Xbox launched a couple days ago. PS5 launched today. And it is still hard as hell to actually get one. I know. To get either?

Yeah, I'll say this. I haven't tried to get an Xbox. I'm not personally interested. I have seen people sweating trying to get one, so I know it's definitely as hard or i know it's it might be hard but the ps5 is just like it's a it's a total mess i now have i for some reason have installed the walmart app on my phone because i hear that that's the fastest quick it's i'm literally i'm like reaching right now i'm walmart that's what i'm saying it's like i'm sitting like, okay, so what do I have to do? Do I have to do this and then this?

I'm fully caught up. You got to suck a Walmart greeter's dick, I heard. Yeah. You got to do like the goons on Twitter I see who are just posting masks with Black Air Force One photos and being like, yeah, keep telling me where you're at with that PS5. I'll be right by for that yep exactly best buy right up the street yeah yeah i for me like and i all this is every time there's a launch i'm always i think i always get it around the end like end of february right following like that's always when i've gotten them i don't know why i think because at that point

though the thirst has subsided and you can stroll into your local proprietor and purchase the console. And if there's any launch bugs and shit like that, but low key, like I am looking at like I know what games are on it. I'm like, fuck, I really want it. I need to be. I want to play Miles Morales. I'm like, I'm the original brown skinned Miles who is famous. Fuck this young man. Yes.

Fuck this young man. Yes. Fuck this young man. I heard that you can swing around and listen to podcasts as Miles Morales. Totally. Which is pretty funny. Wait, what? I love that. Yeah, somebody tweeted that. I didn't know if they were shading podcasts or if it was a real fact.

No, you totally can. Yeah, he swings around with headphones in. Oh, is that just like hooking up to Spotify or something? Or there's like in-game podcasts? I think so, yeah. Oh, okay. Like GTA Radio. Yeah, I think it's like GTA Radio shit.

I will say one thing that I'm stoked about with the Miles Morales game is that one of the costumes you can wear is the one from Spider-Verse, and they animated that costume in the style of spider-verse so it's lower frame rate it's drawn cartoony it's like you're playing as the comic book character in the like very well graphic world but you're still like you know it's really cool looking it's it's very forward thinking and

cool so i'm excited about that okay love that it looks weird i'll say this you'll see a clip and it looks weird but it's also you know it's just different and fun that was like in the last spider-man game when you could be like the hand-drawn version and like this shading was all about like like line drawing style shading on yeah exactly it's very similar 3d rendered world jack i'm sure you've seen you've heard you know you know yeah you're actually falling asleep it's so boring to you like sounds i don't know guys it sounds pretty dumb to me uh with that ray tracing huh love it so wait but something that i noticed the number one

trending thing on google is game stop is that because they're selling the ps5 and that's yeah they are and it's just yeah but it's it's it's just because the whole system is fucked it happened last time with best buy like with best buy first and pre-orders best buy was top trending because their website just completely crashed and the same thing with game stop game stop was yeah, we got bundles and we got consoles. We just don't have a website that works. It's like, okay, cool. Great.

Appreciate you. Awesome. That's fun. I do appreciate their ability to survive. They're still out here. I'm surprised that they're still in business. Well, I think like 300 stores closed. So they're slimming down for sure.

Got it. Got it. Cutting down. They're going keto. They're cutting low., for sure. Got it. Got it. Cutting down. They're going keto. They're cutting low. Cutting low. All right. And then people are on social complaining that they're getting the box, opening it up,

and there's no PS5 or Xbox inside. I feel for them. I really do. I truly feel for them. Although I do admire the hustle of the FedEx worker. Yeah. Now, if they're real,

because there are people who are like, at FedEx, at Walmart, they delivered an empty box. And then they're showing that clearly it had been fucked with, like opened. Now, I don't know if that's how you, on the other side of that hustle, that's how you get double free furniture from wayfair okay if you don't know that scam you say oh this thing didn't come or like you say it's missing the thing eight times

out of ten they somehow fuck up and just resend you the whole thing you don't you didn't hear from me shout out to our sponsors wayfair uh but i don't know but like either he's doing this person is doing that to get double PS5s, or you did get got by the FedEx person because sneaker heads know. When there's a huge drop on sneakers, the FedEx shipments come out at a certain time, and there are a lot of broken hearts, especially when off-white sneakers were coming out where people were getting weird boxes. So, you know, either way, I respect the hustle on either side.

It is what it is uh because at the end of the day what you're just going to complain to your credit card company or whoever whoever your do they replace the weight like is do they put like a a box like indiana jones yeah yeah exactly do they put a bag of marbles in place of it for i i don't know i don't know the ins and outs of it like there's been ones where there have been clips of someone delivering it, but their ring camera caught the person just then being like, it's delivered, and then...

And then just picking up and taking it. It's bullshit. Yeah. Terrible. You hate to see it. I mean, there's no honor among porch pirates. I don't mind that much, to be honest. I mean, as long as you're not coming out of pocket.

I mean, look, the world's sick and twisted. And and yeah that's why be be a wise old man like me uh and you just wait till it's there's enough of them for everybody and that's why you don't have a target on your porch yeah um all right dominion is trending dominion voting uh this is the voting machine company that deleted two million trump votes uh which wouldn't even be enough to win the popular vote but uh it's a bullshit conspiracy theory that the president retweeted earlier today um it's like anything they gotta try it all i mean even the the the you uh the postal service from erie uh the postal worker from erie we were talking about that motherfucker then came out again i was like okay full disclosure uh project veritas made me say that stuff like they

penned my accusation it's like yeah we but we knew that even though when you because when you recanted your recantation we were like this is our it's our it's just it's stupid uh so yeah it's project veritas is not good like project veritas is one of the main pieces of evidence you can look at and be like oh yeah we're on the we're on the right side of of this thing because they just can't they can't like figure it out they can't get anything right like they can't like catch it using their methods they should be able to just like fucking get people red-handed uh but they they just can't do it they always have to cheat and like do ridiculous bullshit that or they're just very dumb yeah yeah or use the logic of like, oh, well then we'll pay someone to do a false accusation and the mere accusation will be enough to get someone canceled

because that's how it works for them, right? If someone just says it, it doesn't have to actually happen. But they should really be looking up to the Koch brothers if they want to know how to fuck shit up effectively. Yeah. Because they're doing the low-rent version. You do it quietly with billions of dollars and uh fund research at stanford university spain is trending uh because they have done it again with their art restoration um this sculpture it's just like a it's not like a major painting that the world was keeping their

eyes out for like what what how will this look once restored it's just a sculpture on the side of a building of a baby's face i believe i don't think it's like anything major um and it's And it's just worth looking at, y'all. It looks like a face drawn by my two-year-old, not even my four-year-old. It's two circles for eyes, a circle for a nose, and a little mouth thing. Yeah.

It's the Virgin Mary? I don't think so. Is it? It looks like it was supposed to be a baby. It's Christ? Mary? I don't think so. Is it? It looks like it was supposed to be a baby. It's Christ? Oh, man. Because the OG one is what? Sloth Christ?

Monkey Christ? Yeah, yeah. Which is the painting that was absolutely like, no. Oh, no. Also, I want the confidence of that artist who was like, yeah, I got the piece for like five minutes i'm gonna be out with it yeah boom take that christ yeah yeah so uh i'm honoring our lord and savior yeah and she didn't think she did anything wrong like that's that's uh also a uh word of caution for anybody like who's ever been too close to something like that's the nightmare scenario where you're like i think this works here can you check out this draft

people are like uh oh boy oh i don't know about all that but yeah this uh the face on it is really unbelievable it lacks any of what i believe are sculpting techniques being used. It looks like somebody rolled up clay into long tubes and then turned them into circles, end to end, like you would with Play-Doh. And then be like, okay, that's an eye, that's an eye, and that's the mouth. And they look like... What was the thing from SNL, that doll from 70s, 80s SNL? It was like, oh, no!

And then it would get smashed. Yeah. What was he called? Mr. Bill? Mr. Bill. Yeah, Mr. Bill. It looks like Mr. Bill Christ or Mr. Bill Mary. I'm not sure which one it is.

Yeah. It's pretty bad. Mr. Bill is actually more detailed than this. I know. I'm not kidding. For people who don't agree like look at it you will agree they sanded the place the face flat and then just drew a stick figure face on the on the front of it as well um so shout out to whoever did that i needed that laugh i needed it yeah i did too it's uh like the this the sloth christ and the ronaldo uh sculpture yeah are like the

that that one was the ronaldo thing a bit or was that real that was real the closest thing to a bit was like james corden pranked david beckham like david beckham that's right but like but the Ronaldo statue is 100% those are all incredible um shouts out to the confident bad artists of the world and then finally we have Gator Gator Dunn

there is a dinosaur walking around in Florida right now. There's a hurricane passing on through the panhandle, or not the panhandle. And this is Naples. So on the west side, on the Gulf side, golf course in Naples. Somebody's driving by a golf hole during a hurricane in a golf cart, it would appear. So shout out to them. Very Florida behavior.

But they caught a gator just walking across the fairway that is enormous and it's also like walking it's not like its belly is dragging on the ground. It's almost like walking like a deer or like a the ground it's almost like walking like with it

like a deer or like a dog it's it's hitting switches yeah like a low rider is like no hold up like and you're like oh shit that motherfucker just went up two feet i did not know this is the yes the height the ground clearance of the gator's belly is what i think is the most disconcerting like image of it all yeah because usually they're just chilling just flopping around on the ground but this motherfucker looks like he's ready to just like sprint it's like although like at the same time to be like what do we expect from like a apex swamp predator because we're always like dude they're all slow like we're like talking shit about a gator but like really like you got near that mother that tail will like break your fucking upper body with like one wag if that's what they call it it's also a while that it waited to i i'm

curious like did they know about this like had had people seen this and they just like stayed stayed the fuck away from it for the most part or what is it like the hurricane just like stirred up the swamp enough for this thing to come out uh or or did it think the coast was clear because it was a hurricane and it forgot that floridians just like drive golf carts around in hurricanes it it looks like someone who just like is your new stepdad is that gator who just pulled up and was like hey man go check on your mom's inside i'm gonna go to work and it's like oh my god it's like baby boy yeah it's it's a it's got an energy that i don't know what the fuck i'm not i don't want i don't want anything to do with this gator. Yeah, I'm terrified.

And also, Floridians, what do y'all do? Is this normal to y'all? Or are you just like, pfft, all right, it's 2020. That tracks? I mean, this seems notable enough to freak out. Yeah. The fact that Floridians and South Carolinians and Georgians can get used to just gators being in their backyard is... I guess people up north have run-ins with bears. And we've got Nancy Pelosi in our backyard.

We're doing all right, too, fella. I'll tell you that. Hey, you guys thought this wasn't a political show. Come on. Hey, man. We got freaky stuff, too, fella. I'll tell you that. Hey, you guys thought this wasn't a political show. Come on. Hey, man. We got freaky stuff out here, too. Like Nancy Pelosi. That sounds like a Mike Huckabee show joke. When he's like, Floridians deal with gators. In Washington, they're dealing with killer hornets.

And in California, Nancy Pelosi. All right, we're going to take a quick break and be back with the bassist from porn and he plays it it plays you out on bass whatever happened to the mike huckabee show i feel like that was uh did was that just a casualty of the trump administration we stopped being able to uh laugh at that dude once i think i mean i'm pretty sure it's still going from what I understand. So, I mean, if you go to TBN, the website, he's still up there. I'm sorry.

You said TBN? Yes. TBN. That's like TBS and TNT mixed together. What is it? Isn't it Trinity Broadcast Network? You know, it's very holy. Got it.

Got it. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Mr mike huck i mean he's unapologetically christian in that he will not apologize for not acting like a christian yeah yeah uh all right guys that is going to do it for this thursday afternoon we're back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show until then be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, wash your hands, wear a mask, stay inside, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
