Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the ZEITLND of Misfit Trends courtesy of Who Grows Face Killer, Who Got Leafed and mused up some holiday episode titles. All Right, my name is Jack. That's Miles my second Okay, my name is Jack. My name is Jen. You're are Miles? Lefty gunplay, lefty gunplay? Crazy, scary, spooky, hilarious, hilarious. I thought that was Kendrick saying those words. Nick Cannon is hilarious. Anyway, Anyways, on the rain continues, Drake has fired back with his ops list is twenty twenty four ops list. It's like Oprah's favorite thing, Drake Drake's ops So this is actually probably not by Drake. It seems to be going from a fan account.

Yeah, but nonetheless, it's like it's like the jd Vance couch fucking story, where it's like, yeah, I'm I'm sure he probably didn't, but I'd believe it if he did have an ops list, you know what I mean, that Drake would write down the names like some sensitive Aria Stark wanting to get revenge on Bobby altof Podcaster of the Year, Breakout Podcaster of the year Bobby All Tough.

There's some wild shit on Bobby all Tough the company Adidas. Uh Steve Lacy is is Steve Lacy on the list or just Drake?

But he did call him an op on x QC's stream like I think last week or the week before, which is very fucking stupid. Like again, Drake is the kind of guy who talks shit to somebody when their back is literally turned as evidence.

Literally we watched that happen.

Yeah, yeah, Demart Rosen went up to Toronto former Raptor. It was also in the Not Like Us video and Drake stood up like me and mugging at the end of the game. But when Demart Rosen turned around that completely not even.

In his eye line, then he's like under his bird's like a little bitch, like okay, yeah, okay Drake.

But anyway, fifty cent being messy because this is like a tweet from like end of October that he brought on Big Boys Radio show Man. You know everyone's talking about again because you'd believe it with Drake.

Yeah, finally a rapper like me, you know, a complete cowards like a little all right, my ops on it right on a CVS receipt. Yeah at this Actually, I'm trying to get my kids to behave better by telling them that they made Santa's ops lift. Okay, oh you fucked up now, Yeah, you don't want to come out hearing op. Yeah. Anyways, Uh, someone put up wanted posters of top healthcare CEOs in New York City, which seems like an escalation. I'm still like waiting for the other shooter to drop him, for there to just be I don't know, you know.

Like in what sense, like that the story loses moment that we learned something.

That people start getting arrested for like posts on Reddit for like saying you know what I mean like this because they're not going to the CEOs of the world are not going to take this ship laying down, and they know are the closest thing to human companies and companies are the most powerful thing in America.

So, like I said, it's that or the really fucking weird thing is that CEOs across the world say that they have a right to privacy and should not be known people to the public.

That's how they find their safety. But anyway, I feel like every CEO loves to say they're a CEO though, so they do love going to the underground. Yeah, good luck, good luck. They just like change the title, like suddenly CEO no longer is the title. They're like, are actually more of like a partner ish dude or we see the like mask technology from uh mission impossible, just like start taking off, Like that's the way that you see that is like, now so funny.

That's how you spot a billionaire because they've got a goofy ass latex mask on.

You're like, the fuck is wrong with that? Dude's Oh that's an old ship. That's a billionaire? He okay, is that a victim? How did you know it was me? Because you have like a black man's face on, but your hands are clearly white. Bro, this is all This is the dumbest fucking disguise I've ever seen. Hey, they wanted to get to get out one way or another. You know. Hey, all right, mel Gibson, Hey trending. He back showing us all what we've been missing. At the QAnon Awards, he was honored at mar A Lago. That was a Mike Flynn helmed America's Future Awards.

Yeah, that's why you can call him the QAnon Awards because it's Mike Flynn and it's an offshoot, like he took all his q Andon influence and spun off this America's Future Awards, but a lot of no.

Yeah. Q and I used to be a thing where we're like, will they embrace that? That would be so wild, and now it's just like, I don't know, it's all part of the same thing. I don't know. These are my followers bro shout out to my Patreon.

I don't know they're they're around, I guess, but I'm just saying like racist shit and they're fine with that, But I guess. That night, Mel Gibson, along with Tucker Carlson and Kid Rock, received.

Champion of America Awards Hell Yeah in front of onlookers like Roger Stone and Russell Brand, and Gibson gave this fucking weird speech that I'm not I'm not even sure what the point was, but he definitely seems to think that maybe Democrats are starting fire. Look, I'm just gonna play Mel Gibson's speech and try to drown out the crowd noise where everyone is clearly disrespecting his awards ceremony by just our Awards acceptance speech by talking loudly. But here's Mel Gibson. I'm sorry that I have to play this, but here it is four years if we failed Marxism. Oh yeah, that's a buzzword. And you know now, I think what we have is a four year grace period. Uh huh ho. We have to work hard, all of them. And I don't know. The President's got a big job on his hands to tournament place around him. Yeah, the damage is done. Yeah, and they continue to start fires, just like around my house. They continue to start and they continue to fire. I think he's seeing the Malibu fires that are happening right now, and he thinks that Joe Joe Biden started the fire. No, clearly who is not on Donald Trump's side is starting the fires. M just like around my house. It's like, does he is he just using buzzwords like he did.

He didn't really fully prepare for this audition, so he's just like, let me look up some okay, thinly veiled Marxism fires, not that he doesn't like. Isn't fully a right wing freak, but it's like trying to adjust it to the audience, and people are just like talking, They're like, who the fuck is this?

G Oh, that's Mel Gibson. He's also for people, because you guys can't see this and probably won't go watch the video. He's standing at a lector, and that looks like some ship that like a fancy pope would design. It looks like the pope's coffin or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but not like new humble pope, like the pope that was like I need, I need the giant hat that makes me six foot nine. Yeah, it's a gigantic lecter, it is, it is. I never seen a lecter in that fucking band, white and gold embossed.

He goes on to say something of something, something protecting the kids don't come after mine.

Many many fasts, and for he and his sister married, for exposing all these wolves and sheep's clothing. Yeah, I mean I got nine kids, got stolen or traffic or something. I'd have to kill someone before. Oh yeah we saw ransom, bro, Yeah we know. And it sounds like your little kid was scared as fuck, dude, because he we weed on himself when he was in that They were Gary Sinisee. Dude can even handle that shit like a g Oh damn, you remember specific parts of Ransom. I remember because that was like mar.

Yeah, oh yeah, because I remember that was like the German three scene, you know, like three whiskey scene.

Although it makes sense like not that, I was like, yo, that's clever. I mean, there was the trauma of seeing his kidnapper in the same elevator and he wet himself. Anyway, I didn't mean to make fun of the character from Ransom, but hey, you take one of Mel Gibson's nine kids that he hates, he might have to fucking do something to you. Yeah, so he's one of the people just went full mega. I guess I probably knew that, but yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he was part.

Yeah right exactly, and Jim COVIZL and him are like tight, and obviously Jim Coveasl's gone full Q.

But I honestly, I don't. I feel like Mel Gibson might be living his best life right now because he's found a group of like onlookers and admirers that like him because he's an anti Semite prone to violent outbursts. Yeah, you know, in spite of no you don't like to be at my anti semite prone to violent outbursts, Then you don't deserve me at my dragged across, I don't know he's had. I was trying to like figure out what he's been up to, and it feels like he's on his Steven sagal Era, like, you know where he's making like three movies a year that nobody's ever heard of. The latest, let me find a list year. There's one called Bone Yard, Bone Yards. Yeah. Monster Summer feels like that was a misfire just in terms of the random word generator. But it's also interesting to see, like these are movies that exist in the low. You know, anything below five on the IMDb meter is pretty unfathomable. The last one that I remember him being in was Fat Man, where he played like violent Santa Claus, who does kill House? Like who's It's like what if Santa Claus? Oh? Yeah? And but since then he's been just churning out these movies that are like three point five Panama, four point one, Agent Game, four point three, Hot Seat, Bandit on the Line, three point eight Damn Son, in which he plays Lieutenant Kevin Hickey. We've got confidential informant, all right, mel Gibson is confidential informant. There he is Desperation Road Bone Yard Monster is so funny. Hey, I'm in a new movie called Boneyard. Uh with fifty cent? Oh my god, look it's with fifty cent? What is this money laundering portion of the film industry where it's just like these movies get churned out that don't exist, and then are they just like killing it in Russia or something where where where is the It's like churn out movie that is indistinguishable from every steven Sagall movie made since the year two thousand and three, and then dot dot dot equals profit. I don't know how it happens. I have a feeling.

I mean, because there's definitely like a whole group of producers that are in the scene that just want to make stuff and are so wealthy they don't give a fuck. Like I've definitely met people like that who have They come from dynastic wealth. Their dream is to be movie makers and they don't give a fuck well the distribution anything. They just get to go be like I'm making a movie with Mel Gibson and fifty cent. I paid them whatever they wanted with a script I wrote during an acid trip.

And they get to pal around. But yeah, yeah, well, Dragged Across Concrete. I've heard good things about it. It's like a filmmaker. I watched one of that guy's movies and he just makes like brutally violent action movies. You're telling me Dragged Across Concrete is a violent film. Yeah, I thought it was a rom com. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, And the Onions Info Wars bid was rejected by a judge. And why can't we have nice things news? Yeah, a federal bankruptcy judge just rejected the sale of Info Wars to the Onion, basically saying that the money's not enough.

Yeah, just that it was you know that that they could have probably paid more, was the thing, because the Onion apparently they got it for one in three cores one point seventy five million dollars.

That was their bid. But this other so the whole thing was Alex Jones. Like, there was another company that put down a much larger.

Bid, and that was First United American Companies, which.

Is affiliated with Alex Jones's supplements busyiness. Right, so he could just like buy it back essentially, right.

And they put in a three and a half million dollar bid, and so that's sort of what's being I think he's very narrowly saying, like, look at all this money that this other group offered, but they only offered half, and why did they get it? There's something, there's some kind of collusion, there's something happening here. The process is too opaque.

But wasn't there something with like the Sandy Hook families having a vote or something like they.

Basically were Yeah, they were going to basically help Ben Collins buy info Wars like a part of their.

Helping him get to one point seventy five.

Yeah, basically nuke info Wars and Alex Jones's brand that was the source of all their fucking pain. But I guess that's the thing, is Like, so the terminology around this bankruptcy sort of bidding contest was that the court appointed trustee had to pick the quote.

Highest and best bid. So I'm guessing that someone with half a brain was like, I don't care how much Alex Jones is offering for this thing. The whole thing is he can't have it anymore, So let's maybe I'll take this other offer because that might be the most appropriate way for him to divest from the info warshit. But everything gets tied up in complexity and courthouse shit, and the bad guys always win. That's just like we've that's what we know now. That is like the system that is broken that it feels like everybody is fed up with. And the reason that everybody's really fucked up at this point in time and fetishizing about murder and shit like that, I think is because people are fed up with a system where it's like, oh, we know what's going to happen. Like even when there's a story where like this guy who said these people whose children were fucking killed in him as shooting, he has a bad day in court, we know that that can't actually happen. We know that, like his lawyers will find a way to undo that because everything gets pulled into court and legal wrangling, and at that point, whoever has the most money wins, and whoever has the most money is like, by definition, the worst people on the planet at this point. And so that's that's what seems to always happen. I don't know why this is the story that radicalized me, but it doesn't forward, damn it. Yeah. Brian Medder just asked the question, what the fuck does best even mean in this context? Is the right question because it says, uh that the court is supposed to select the quote highest and best bid, and I feel like it if it was highest or best, you know, best suggests that the additional non monetary considerations can come into play. But highest and best is weird. It just it seems like it's defining best as always being whatever the high bid is. Yeah, exactly.

I mean, like I think in the logic I would presume was applied to giving the onion Info Wars was that they're like, Okay, well the highest is this one from Alex Jones. So no, who's not affiliated with Alex Jones? Okay, the onion, Okay, there is his half. Well it is the highest of the best bids.

Uh, therefore whatever, But I don't know, like to your point, they're just gonna they'll probably just argue what the word high or best means and then we'll be back to people. I guess watching Info Wars, that's what they fucking want. But anyway, Uh, it ain't Indeed, it ain't over. Though he said it ain't over, it ain't over. We're still going after it's not over. But yeah, I don't know like that. Obviously, the intent of the ruling is not to give Info Wars back to Alex Jones so he can continue doing what he's doing. And yet the court is managing to ignore that shit.

Yeah, it's like no, no, it's nothing like he has to get rid of It's more like he's just got to buy it back for more money.

Right right, I mean, we can't stop the market from deciding. If we stop the market from deciding in this case, Oh, what's what's next? Then call me Stalin heg Seth. Yeah, well what's the latest with Pete heg Seth.

So, you know, it looks like the MAGA playbook on this one is to just bully Joni Ernst, Senator Jony Ernst into supporting him because she's on the Armed Services Committee, And you know, she's like in her in her quotes to the press, it sounds like rather than being like, no, this is bad, she's like her language is beginning to soften, where she's like, I look forward to see what happens through this process, not fully committing to being a yes vote. But in Politico they're implying that like they're just she's just getting bullied in harassed, Like you got like tweets coming from Donald Junior Elon Musk that are trying to just causing, like putting her sort of in like the crosshairs of like MAGA outrage because she's not budging. This is what in political was written quote Jony, I'm told said a Trump ally with insider knowledge of the transition process says, quote got the message loud and clear, and they said that Joni Ernst was quote looking for an off ramp from her public skepticism of hegg saf after receiving an onslaught of criticism from MAGA activists.

Don't call them activists.

That campaign took off last week after prominent allies, including Donald Junior Charlie Kirk, made social media post critical of Ernst.

So they're hoping.

So the logic here is that like because Gates was like a complete non starter, they don't want to they don't want to give Senate Republicans the idea that they have any.

Power over Donald Trump. So they're going to really dig in on Pete Hegseth and really just as they say, quote, just draw a line here to let the Republicans know that like this ain't happening, Like it's get in fucking line, because they're doing the thing that Elon was also saying too about people who aren't part of the MAGA agenda, like I will put money towards primary ing them, and so they're I'll be doing some version of that, which is interesting. So that's how they get things done on their right.

And then you know, meanwhile, Democrats are just like, I don't know, Joe Manchin, here's in sentiment, like do your thing. I don't know, Like if you don't, okay, you don't want to, that's mine, like whatever, whatever, But.

What can we do? We can't do anything. Yeah.

Meanwhile MAGA they're like, yeah, so we're gonna bully the fuck out of this person and harass them. I mean, it's it's a little bit fucked up because you know, Jonie Ernst, you know, has basically said, like her mission, especially on the Armed Services Committee, is to you know, protect women from being sexually assaulted in the military. So for her to like switch it up with someone who is an accused rapist for this position just feels very fucking gross.

But this is mag Erica a Magica America amagica. How many is that the only person that they needed to get him through no?

But it's like you need, you need these sort of dominoes to fall to give cover to the others. And it's like, well, she he's an Armed Services Committee, and then like you know, that's her business to know about like defense and like the military, So maybe we can get hurt. If she can soften, then that can give other people. But meanwhile, like other people are still kind of like they're they're not quite coming out fully and enjoining the No party.

But it did.

It did turn out that remember when we played that video of Greg Kelly basically being like sorry, Pete, like this is you're cooked. Apparently that pissed off Trump And now there's been like a directive handed down allegedly that if someone comes on to Newsmax and brings up Pete Hegseth, that they're supposed to say like they're only allegations, there is like no proof and then to pivot immediately or receive the wrath of maga.

Wow. Yeah, okay, yeah, is Greg Kelly in trouble? What was do people? No, he's not in trouble.

But many have pointed out that he too has many He's also has allegations of sexual assault with him his own career. So it's a very look, it's a very sordid world. But hey, all these people do get jobs.

And eventually end up on TV, and that's the one constant that we do seem to see. Yeah, Kelly's got a weird case wise, he around. All right, those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine, get your flu shots, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye bye,
