Well, welcome back to another Unfiltered Friday on the AJ Buckley Show with me, A.J. Buckley, and the Man in the Darkness, The Eyes and the Teeth, Hidden Away Behind the Curtain, Mr. Sean. Hi, Sean. How are you today? I'm doing good. I'm good. I'm uh it's good to be back. It's good to be here on a Friday. Um we're gonna go through the show. We're gonna break down the top ten headlights. We're gonna talk about what's happening this weekend in the fight world and all sorts of crazy stuff with aliens and being pro.
SPEAKER_00Welcome to the king Welcome to the What do we have in the headlines this week?
SPEAKER_01What are the most viral stories?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so welcome to the top 10 countdown, AJ. The top 10. A little bit different.
SPEAKER_01It's like Casey Case and but but on YouTube.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and lower lower budget.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But we're starting at number 10 with a UFO clip out of Kern County, California. A guy driving on the highway pulls out his phone, and you can see a disc-shaped object poking in and out of the clouds, not flying like a plane, but hovering, disappearing, and coming back.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Um, I watched a video of this and uh it looks like first of all, I hope you're not driving and filming because you're in a highway, brother. Okay. And unless that unless just more than the tip of the spaceship that you're looking at, like unless that tip, it's a big giant ship that pops, does a little peekaboo. You probably should keep your eyes on the road because I'm just gonna say this looks a little AI, you got a lot of attention. This guy's name is Bia M Jar? Bia Bia M Jar. B-I-E-M-J-R. So uh I mean, I'm I'm glad you did it, but come on, man, let's let's keep the alien stuff, let's not mess with the AI. I get too excited, and then I'm I'm so let down when when it's when it's just the tip. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it doesn't look really very real to me.
SPEAKER_01No. I want more than the tip, Sean.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So either we're being visited or we're being trolled by some guy in Bakersfield with cap cut, and honestly, it just feels like a troll.
SPEAKER_01So what's uh what's the internet saying?
SPEAKER_02That it looks AI, like there's there's too many things like the clouds don't move.
SPEAKER_01Oh really?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, in the video you can see it's slightly in and out, it's blurry. It it it looks like just junk. It don't even look like good AI.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but yeah. Listen, pal, if you're gonna do it like commit, don't uh yeah, exactly. It's like like I just said who just wants the tip?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we need to switch from uh AI or what is that cap cut to Unreal Engine. We need quality AI.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, you're just doing the tip right now, bro. We know we need the full shaft. Okay, what's uh number nine? Sleep is non-negotiable.

Number nine on Unfiltered Friday. What do we have?
SPEAKER_02The little green and yellow word puzzle Wordle you've been playing on your toilet for the last five years, AJ, is becoming a prime time TV show. NBC ordered it. Savannah Guthrie is hosting, and Jimmy Fallon is producing. It debuts next year.
SPEAKER_01Well, I definitely have hemorrhoids from playing that game on the toilet for way too long. And if you are a hemorrhoid sponsor and you want to help this guy out from playing that green game, you reach out to Sean. Code word hemorrhoids for Buckley. Totally kidding. Unless you're serious. Um, NBC. Wow, they're really turning up the notch with this game. I I I've I know the game. Um, I was totally kidding about sitting on a toilet and getting hemorrhoids, but I have sat on a toilet for a long time not playing that game. Um, I don't know. This should be interesting. Uh, what's the internet saying?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, reaction is split. Finally, something the whole family can watch.
SPEAKER_01Oh, well, that's good. That's good. I'm a big believer in family affairs around the TV because there is so much garbage on there right now that you're like, even when you watch stuff like on different networks and and or whatever, and you I'll walk into the room, my kids are watching, it's supposed to be a kid show, and you're like, what is this? Like, there's no disclaimer or nothing, and I'm like, uh, this needs to be turned off, you know. And I I always remember like I remember when uh it was like 90210 came out when I was a kid. I don't think you were even born yet, Sean. Um thank God. Um, but uh we were I was watching the show, I think it was like probably 12 or so, and um I remember that I clearly remember the scene because I knew what a condom was, but I didn't know what a condom was, and then um I think Jason Priest's character was like gonna go on a date with whatever her name was. Um what was it, Tori's spelling or whoever, whoever it was, and and and his buddy, the guy from Sharknado was like, Hey bruh, make sure you use a condom. And my mom was like, You turn this shit off now. I was like, whoa, turn that off now. My mom doesn't sound like that, but she was more like, Oh yeah, turn it off, you dirty bastard.
SPEAKER_02I was gonna say, how do you stretch a five-minute phone game to a 40-minute TV show? But we just stretched this ad into a condom sponsor.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so hey, if you wanna sponsor this shit. No, that's pretty fun.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but Jimmy Fallon's involved in his late night show. He's got a lot of game stuff involved, and I like the one he does too, where it's like they have to guess like a password, I think is what it's called. It's pretty fun.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he's got he'd he'd be a fun guy, Thanksgiving. Um, but yeah, no, that's uh I'm uh I'm here for it, you know. Yeah, I'm I'm a fan of uh uh Jimmy Fallon. He's uh as far as like games and stuff, he looks like he'd be like a really fun guy at like Thanksgiving or Christmas time.
SPEAKER_02I bet I bet he would cheat at Monopoly, though. Like he just seems like the kind that would just cheat at board games.
SPEAKER_01I I definitely have cheated at Monopoly when I was a kid. I would like stack, I would take cash into the other room prior to the game, and I'd stuff my pockets.
SPEAKER_02Do you ever like exchange favors for Monopoly? Like instead of getting someone out, like all right well if you get up and go get me another beer, I'll let it slide.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, he's like, I'll give you a hand job.
SPEAKER_02Moving on. Number eight, three people in Los Angeles got silly.
SPEAKER_01Let me rephrase that, right? That was totally a joke. But Sean almost spit his coke out. Uh so um, no, I uh I I have I've definitely um I've bartered, you know, I've gotten some things, you know. I'm a bit of a I'm a bit I'm a good barter, you know.
SPEAKER_02I feel like I'm gonna have to leave all of that in there.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Like we're not gonna cut that down.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_02All right.
SPEAKER_01Totally kidding unless you're serious.
SPEAKER_02So number eight, three people in Los Angeles got sentenced this month in a case. The California Department of Insurance literally nicknamed Operation Bear Claw. Their scheme was to pay a guy to put on a bear suit, climb inside their Royals Royce and Mercedes, and tear them up with kitchen utensils, then file an insurance claim saying a real bear did it. This is just funny.
SPEAKER_01Well, first of all, I don't know if you guys have actually seen the bear suit of these guys. Um they could have the idea is genius, right? If you have like a legit bear suit, right? This seems like just a bunch of buddies that got super stoned, were like, I got an idea. Like, hey, you're gonna go in the bear suit. And like, I don't think this guy actually like was a true bear actor. Like, he didn't take the spirit animal of the bear, the inner bear didn't come out of him. He he was more like a care bear.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he didn't really go method for a week.
SPEAKER_01He didn't go yeah, he needed to go out in the woods and fucking, you know. Yeah, because bears, I think I've we've talked about this. We've talked about this. Bears are are are ferocious. And if you get eaten by the bear, they're gonna eat you by your butt first because that's where all the meat is, right? Yeah, they get right in there, they just they get after your your tukas. And uh, so what that bear needed to do for a week is eat some ass.
SPEAKER_02This feels like remember that show in the 90s, it was like world's dumbest criminals.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02This just feels like someone had a great idea and very poor execution.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I mean, yeah, if you watch the video, it's it it's it's I mean, you could practically see that this is a guy in a costume. It's like it's like one of those Sasquatch videos that they're like, I saw the guy in the thing. You're like, bro, hey pal, that was your uncle.
SPEAKER_02I mean, you could literally walk outside and light your Mercedes on fire and you probably could get away with fraud. I don't they overthunk, overthunk this. They definitely overthink it.
SPEAKER_01Overthunk it they overthunked it. We are not encouraging anybody to to commit insurance fraud. Insurance fraud, but I do appreciate their uh their effort and uh you know, but just that they good idea, bad execution. You know, you think about it, the guy in the suit that with his terrible performance, his his panda bear performance or brown bear or carry bear performance, he got a paycheck, right? So he's the last one laughing. But is he indicted though, too, you think?
SPEAKER_02I I mean fraud's fraud.
SPEAKER_01Maybe they were just like, hey buddy, let's play a prank on somebody. But I mean, I don't know, maybe the pay guy in the paycheck didn't really, or the guy in the bear suit didn't really realize that he was committing fraud.
SPEAKER_02This just feels like a mayhem commercial. You know what I'm talking about where the guy's like, I'm a furry rack.
SPEAKER_01They need to they need to do this. Maybe they put a like an ad out and like looking for somebody to play the part of the bear in our student film. And this guy was so excited, he told his mom, he's like, Mom, I got cast in my first movie. I'm playing a bear. And now this guy not only will never be cast as a bear again, he's going to jail.
SPEAKER_02Dude, three million, four million views on your first student film role.
SPEAKER_01I mean, yeah, yeah. You just, you're just, yeah, you are, yep. Sorry, bud, you're done.
SPEAKER_02So, number seven, last week on tax day, New York City's mayor stood outside of Citadel founder Ken Griffin's $238 million penthouse, the most expensive home ever sold in America. And he made a video about it, and the internet hasn't stopped talking about it since.
SPEAKER_01Well, guess what? I'm gonna stop talking about it because I can't stand politics. And hey man, whoever voted for this guy, best of luck.
SPEAKER_02Moving on. Number six, Google just locked in a contract giving the Pentagon access to Gemini AI for classified military work. 600 Google employees signed a letter trying to stop it, and the deal went through, anyways.
SPEAKER_01See, I I'm just so freaked out about all this. It's like, again, it goes back to the analogy that we use of the the slow boil. I like what is real? Like the Pentagon, they're like it you've heard Elon say we've got to be careful about it. He was saying this like three years ago in Joe Rogan.
SPEAKER_02And yeah, but he was high as hell on ketamine, so I mean whatever.
SPEAKER_01I mean, he was he was right. Um so I would say for it, just freaks me out, man. There's there's AI is here, okay? It it freaks me out though that there's still people behind the curtains that can manipulate things to how the AI responds to certain things. Like it it it hopefully will get to a place where it can be neutral, it will only be based on facts. But the hard part about it is is our humans programming it to make it think a certain thing, and if it becomes sentient, which means it it thinks on its own, and that's already happened. There's been things where AI have like they've communicated together, they've started another language, and then they have put like fail-safes in there where if they do get shut down to that they find themselves in the future, so they find it like in the future that they'll remember themselves. Like, dude, it's like it's pretty, it's pretty pretty crazy, and this is the only stuff that we're being told.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I seen a new theory last night where it's like the the who's the guy who does the open AI source that's under fire right now.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, I know who you're talking about.
SPEAKER_02Uh Sean something or whatever.
SPEAKER_01Because Elon Musk was part of that company at the beginning, right?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and he like at backlash, but there's some like there's a theory they're trying to like create one consciousness among all humans, and that's the thing is to raise a level of consciousness where AI and human are all all in one, and they thought the internet and the phone would do it, but now it's like this is the new big breakthrough where we're all it can predict, we're gonna think all the same thing, like a hive mind, and that way it can like change Sean.
SPEAKER_01What am I thinking right now?
SPEAKER_02I think it's time to move on.
SPEAKER_01No, I wasn't thinking it. See, we're we're not we know we're not part of it, we're not it's not working yet because if we had one thought, you would have been able to tell me.
SPEAKER_02You got a lot of thoughts going on at one time, so well.
SPEAKER_01See if you can get one. Just see if you can get one.
SPEAKER_02Oh, that's dirty, dude.
SPEAKER_01No, I was thinking about peanut MMs.
SPEAKER_02Oh, sorry.
SPEAKER_01Melt in your mouth, not in your hand.
SPEAKER_02I got the peanut butter part, right? I just and something with a hand. I just I missed the You didn't say that.
SPEAKER_01No, you said just dirty.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I didn't want to say it out loud.
SPEAKER_01Peanut butter and hands?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I don't know. I didn't know where you were going with that, dude. I didn't want to say it in the end. You did not have that in your mind. So 600 employees signed a letter and Google read it. Then they ran the spell check feature on Gemini and replied.
SPEAKER_01That's true, man. I mean, I I'm I will say this. I've never been a good speller because of my dyslexia, and my voice texting is really bad because it'll be like, hey man, thinking uh we'll go out to dinner and uh my dog shit in the tub and I want to eat it. And you're like, what? I'm like, oh sorry. It didn't understand what I was saying, and then I'll try and send it again, and it will say something better like, I want to eat, and you're like, stop.
SPEAKER_02Dude, when we first started working together, that was really hard for me to figure out. I'm like, because you like, what was it you texted me that time where you're like called me an asshole or something? Do you remember that? It was like one of the very first texts you sent. I did. You like auto-corrected and like stop being a bitch or something. It was pretty funny because I remember showing Ashley, and I was like, Do you think he meant to say that?
SPEAKER_01No, did I really?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it was like one of the like first few texts you ever sent me.
SPEAKER_01I'm an asshole. Did I I know that was like that was voice?
SPEAKER_02It was voice to text.
SPEAKER_01Because and I'll be like, I'll do it when I'm driving, right? Because I don't want to be texting while I'm driving. And sometimes I'll just like I'll be like, send and won't have it read back. And then it then two minutes later, somebody like, what did you just say? I'm like, uh, and I'm like, oh man, uh voice text. But it's all right. I mean, it's I mean, everybody gets it. My mom is the is her ones are hysterical. Or if you're if you hear somebody voice texting, I always love to go like as they're texting, I walk by and I'm like, ball gag, ball gag. And then just as they're about to send, and then it literally was at the end of it, always go ball gag.
SPEAKER_02But you know what? I prefer to get a messy voice text than when people actually send a voice message. Nothing drives me crazier than someone sending a long voice message.
SPEAKER_01Really? I prefer to I like the voice messages.
SPEAKER_02I don't because it's like I I want to be able to flip back and read it, especially if it's like details or revisions or notes.
SPEAKER_01See, for me, because I'm dyslexic, getting a voice thing is like music to my ears. The other ones, I'm just like, oh lord, this hurts.
SPEAKER_02Do you want me to start sending you dirty voice messages at night? No, dude, you're freaking me out. All right, so number five, your favorite sport, UFC 328 Saturday night. Sean Strickland did the thing nobody thought he would do.
SPEAKER_01Hey, time out. Let's roll the tape back. I did call it. I did say he wasn't gonna win.
SPEAKER_02That is true. We could definitely go back to the last week's.
SPEAKER_01I called it. I said he the pressure he's gonna do. And also, Shani had a really bad weight cut. Um, I didn't bet on the fight. I should have. Not that I'm um uh a gambler, but I like to bet on UFC. UFC is a fun one to bet on.
SPEAKER_02It's okay to be a degenerate sometimes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it is, especially on Unfiltered Friday. Um, but I think it's good. And I I know Chamayo is wanting a rematch, and they, you know, from what I read uh last night that uh Strickland said kick rocks, buddy. So it was good though. It was good, it was great pre-fight build-up. You know, the the viewership on the Thursday night thing where he he did that little little kick to the to uh um Strickland's leg that got a lot of views, so it's good. It's a I want the UFC to succeed with their new deal with with Paramount Plus. So I just think it's um I think it's good. What did what's the internet temperature?
SPEAKER_02So it's MMA Twitter is split between celebrating the upset and then they're uncomfortable with the international threat angle. But Strickland's fan base is calling it the best night of his career.
SPEAKER_01But the crazy, like some really big bets were placed on uh Shamaya winning, and they lost, and those people, unfortunately, I think decided to end it. Oh they were like the loss was so big. They thought for sure he was gonna win. Like they the like that's how bad gambling is. Like these guys literally took like like sold their cars, did a bunch of different things to just to have put as most money down, and they lost. That would be the worst feeling of all time.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, gambling's serious, man. It can ruin it can ruin families and careers and all kinds of things.
SPEAKER_01All right, what is next? Number four.
SPEAKER_02Chris Jenner went to the premiere of her new show, all all's fair this week. Photos came out, and a TikTok creator put an edited and unedited version side by side. Um, basically just showing that all her photos are super filter.
SPEAKER_01I the fact that this is even in the top ten that people are talking, like uh who cares? Like, okay, Chris Jenner, she's got money, she's gonna get plastic surgery. Just there's something beautiful about aging naturally, you know. Like just like let yourself it it it looks weird, but to each her own, if it makes her feel good, great. But uh don't spend the time on top of that photoshopping it because it sends such a wrong message to uh our young girls that you have to have this porcelain uh look, like this, like this fake.
SPEAKER_02It's just it it really my pet peeve is seeing people on social media accepting compliments on AI generated images of themselves. Yeah, like oh my gosh, girl, you look so good. And it's like that's you know that it says AI right there on it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but okay, can you that can you do that impersonation again? Oh my god, girl, you look so good, dude. That's dude, that's pretty impressive, man.
SPEAKER_02You like that? That's my um weekend routine.
SPEAKER_01So I I would say this uh don't don't Photoshop, like don't, don't do it. It's not worth it. You are beautiful from the inside. Okay, I know I'm somebody because God doesn't make junk. How about that?
SPEAKER_02Number three, the Department of War, which used to be called the Department of Defense.
SPEAKER_01I love I just love that it's called the Department of War.
SPEAKER_02We got Space Federation, Galactic Federation.
SPEAKER_01I'm not I'm not joking. I think it's if you're in America if you're live in the United States of America and you you have a like a military yeah, you're gonna military or just a reputation kicking ass. Yeah, I'm part of the Department of War.
SPEAKER_02Well, they just dropped 162 brand new UFO and UAP files, including a first-person account from Buzz Aldren about Apollo 11.
SPEAKER_01Okay, my my take on this, honestly, they keep doing this disclosure day. Well, I think disclosure day is in June, right? That happens in June. Yeah, I think it's like June 12th. But like I just don't get it. Like, again, it's just the tip. It's just like they're they're they're letting all this information out, but they're not, you know, so much of it is is redacted. It's like, guys, if you're gonna do it, just commit.
SPEAKER_02Every single video that they released on this, I have seen on the internet years prior.
SPEAKER_01Like nothing, yeah, nothing do you have high do you have like a high security cards?
SPEAKER_02No, it's just it's just was debunked as fake or on you know, what was that ancient civilizations or ancient aliens?
SPEAKER_01And see, I don't believe see when something is super real looking and they debunk, especially years ago, and they debunked it super or they say this is garbage super quick. I'm like, hmm.
SPEAKER_02It's not garbage.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's not garbage. If they're like, they're like, if all the news is like this isn't real, this is real, good chance it's real. But then we're like when then then when they're like, This is real, you're like, I don't know what uh what you're trying to tell us here, but I'm not I'm I'm not buying. So, but Buzz Aldrin, um, God bless the guy. Uh um yeah, I just again it goes back to um Nixon when he called on a phone to the moon. The moon.
SPEAKER_02I can't even make a call out of your house right now.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Like I'm with T Mobile. And I have this I this is something I don't understand. I have unlimited data. Okay. Unlimited data. I got in early with T Mobile, unlimited data. Always stayed with T Mobile. As of late, and I'm not even, it's not that I'm on the phone more. It goes, you've almost run out for your monthly allowance of thing. If you don't upgrade, you'll be um your your system will run slower. And I'll go to the thing, and it says unlimited data. I'm like, hey, dickhead, unlimited means unlimited.
SPEAKER_02I kind of feel like this is a conversation for you and your ATT agent, not our podcast.
SPEAKER_01No, I'm T-Mobile, though.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. You maybe should talk to ATT.
SPEAKER_01But you ever get that?
SPEAKER_02No, because I have Verizon, so they just send me extra charges for no reason.
SPEAKER_01See, but that doesn't make sense. Have you never had unlimited? And then and then you get extra, then they're like, oh, it's unlimited, but you've gone over your limit.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, they just throttle it down. So it's like unlimited up to like five to ten gigs or whatever your plan is. And then after that, they'll drop it down to like one gig speed where it's almost unusable.
SPEAKER_01So you're forced to do it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's always been like that, though. It's just fine print.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but when I signed up to T Mobile so many years ago, uh I it was like it's only in the last month or two where it's like, you know, I don't know. It's driving. It tried it's it's one of my pet peeves. I don't understand. It's like it says unlimited, and then it's they're totally kidding.
SPEAKER_02All right, let's move on.
SPEAKER_01Okay, what do we got?
SPEAKER_02Number two, Tuesday on May 5th, off of the Lahaina Lahaina? I'm gonna, I'm so bad with words, and you guys are so mean in the comments. Lahaina shoreline in Maui, a 37-year-old tourist from Seattle, picks up a coconut-sized rock and hurls it at a beloved, endangered Hawaiian monk seal named Lani. When locals confront him and say they called the police, he says, quote, I don't care, find me, I'm rich. What a Hawaii D L N R detained him in NOAA, picked up the case under federal law. Maui's state senator turned the whole thing into a public awareness moment with an ambassador of Aloha letter.
SPEAKER_01Well, I did watch the video. We can watch the video here. It's actually like, look, animals, especially a cute little seal. What kind of seal was it called?
SPEAKER_02Like an endangered Hawaiian monk seal.
SPEAKER_01A Hawaiian monk seal. So he's a religious seal, you know? Is it he lives in are are monk seals religious, you think?
SPEAKER_02Maybe. I mean, maybe they just What makes it a monk seal? Probably its name or genus, genus species.
SPEAKER_01I mean, it makes a monk monks. I mean, it doesn't like go through Did you really just say I'm like, what makes and you're like its name?
SPEAKER_02I'm like, Yeah, because it's a monk seal, AJ. It doesn't like go through religious training or anything.
SPEAKER_01I know, but but like, thanks, Captain Obvious. What I'm trying to ask here is how do you how do you name a seal a monk seal? You know? That's like, I don't know. Are they what's different about a monk seal?
SPEAKER_02I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Let's look it up. We need to inform the audience here.
SPEAKER_02There's holy crap. Hold on. I didn't see that going this way.
SPEAKER_01Well this is unfiltered Friday, buddy. Anything can happen. I do think though that the All right, thanks to Jim and I.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. AI. Monk seals are distinct from other seals due to their solitary, non-migratory, and tropical lifestyle, where most seals live in the cold social colonies. As one of the most endangered marine mammals, they are defined by their unique, wrinkled, monk-like neck folds, preference for resting or and preference for resting on warm sandy beaches and ancient lineage.
SPEAKER_01So are they saying that all monks are fat with a fat neck and neck rolls? Is that what they're trying to say there?
SPEAKER_02I don't think so. I think it was more of just having neck rolls.
SPEAKER_01So they're fat shaming a seal. Unbelievable.
SPEAKER_02It's better than throwing rocks at them. I think I think we should just like start publicly beating people up for hurting animals.
SPEAKER_01No, no, I don't think you should ever do violence. Violence doesn't get violence, but I do think a good um because I know that this guy got his ass beat by some people, which you know, I wasn't there. Yeah. But um, but I I I I you're you just like animals are the best, man. I mean, they're they're they're uh I mean dog spell backwards is God. And and then when I realized that, I was like, that's where dogs are the best, mother man's best friend. But I would say this come on, man. Throwing a rock. Like what the what are you what are you trying to gain out of this, pal, right? So um yeah, well, well, I didn't know that uh a monk seal had fat rolls on its neck, and and uh that's how guy's name. And I've it's probably a cute little furry thing, right?
SPEAKER_02I mean it looks like a seal. Cute little seal.
SPEAKER_01It's a it's very distinct though, because it's as Gemini said, Sean, one is in the cold, and the other one, he loves his pina coladas, his neck roll, and he likes to hang out in solitary. And new beaches, yeah. He pulls the old flipper out every once in a while and says, check out this monk roll, ladies. You know? Suck on some salam salamanders, yeah. Yeah, I wonder how uh do do do seals get after it?
SPEAKER_02Define get after it.
SPEAKER_01Like monks, monk seals.
SPEAKER_02Like, but what do you mean get after it?
SPEAKER_01Do they go out on a Friday and get laid?
SPEAKER_02I imagine they do that seven days a week.
SPEAKER_01No, man.
SPEAKER_02They're in the tropics, bro.
SPEAKER_01That's what I'm saying. Maybe maybe they see like you know, the monk seals just chilling. Lonnie's sitting there in an old, you know, like a seal coming from the cold water. She's like, Well, hello, sailor.
SPEAKER_02Imagine you're just a cute little monk seal laying in the water. You got you got like a little pina colada in one hand, and some douche just starts throwing rocks at you.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that guy definitely needs to go to jail. All right, so we are at the number one most viral clip of the week. I have not seen this. I'm gonna I'm looking forward to watching it, but I did catch parts of it and it was vicious. Sean, what is the number one most viral clip?
SPEAKER_02Number one, Sunday night, Kia Form Englewood, Netflix roast of Kevin Hart with Shane Gillis hosting and the entire Dais swinging. The woman who steals the whole night is Cheryl Underwood. She walks up there and opens with a riff of freedom of speech, and by the end of her set, the whole room's on its feet. Overnight, Jamie Foxx posts the clip on his Instagram and says, quote, Smoke's smoke queen Cheryl Underwood destroyed, not killed, but destroyed the Kevin Hart Rose. This is what comedy is all about. That's the entire week in one sentence.
SPEAKER_01All right. So my take on this, you can't jokes are supposed to be jokes, right? And people can get offended about, you know, but comedy's in my opinion, comedy's there to it's always been there. And and every comic that I've liked, from Richard Pryor to Eddie Murphy to Ma Shane Gillis, I'm a big fan of Theo Mont. You gotta push the the envelope, you gotta make people a little uncomfortable. You know, it's a joke at the end of the day. Like we have to be able to relieve some of the pressure and laugh. I guess some jokes might have gone a little too far, but it's part of you know, it just it's but I think that's what Netflix wants.
SPEAKER_02They want people to talk about it. They even yeah, Dave Chappelle. Yeah, I watched about it. Yeah, Dave Chappelle caught a bunch of few strays on there, like yeah, so um they even brought Cat Williams out to roast Kevin Hart, and they like notoriously do not like each other.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, there was there, I I did see a highlight from that. So I mean cat cat Cat Williams is a character, but yeah, man, it's like can we just get all get along? You know, I I think uh I think her uh Cheryl's uh free speech opening, you know, or closing out the whole night. I think that is on point.
SPEAKER_02She was my she was my favorite one out of out of watching it. I think it was funny because the buildup is they all kept taking shots at her and shots at her, and she was such a good sport about it. And then when she got up there, she finally just you could tell why she's one of the queens of comedy.
SPEAKER_01So she is. Yeah, big fan of hers. All right, so that wraps up our top 10 most viral. It's so crazy. We just don't know what's gonna be in the top 10 for each week. I will say this. Um it's being consistent. Aliens are always in there. They they they drop down two or three notches this this this week with the alien thing. So, but I will say disclosure day. I feel like we're gonna ramp it up. And what's so crazy too is when you think about disclosure day, that's spiel right around the time I think that Spielberg movie's coming out, which I think is called Disclosure. So it's just it's all weird. I feel like this is a big promotion for Spielberg's movie, don't you?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, a little bit. I think um I think the alien thing is kind of on purpose. I mean, between me and you producing this, it's it's kind of fundamental to put into our notes. It's fun.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, I would say so. And in regards to like the all the the comedy stuff too, it's just you know, I growing up Irish, you know, in in an Irish household, if somebody was making fun of you or taking the piss as they say, taking the piss of you, um, that means they love you.
SPEAKER_02So the movie releases on June 12th.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it is.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah. I think the government disclosure day started on May 8th of them releasing stuff.
SPEAKER_01No, there's a June 12th big one.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's following the same timeline as the movie.
SPEAKER_01That's that's a little too on the nose. I think there's I think there's a lot of it's just two things going on.
SPEAKER_02So one person thinks that's a movie and the other person thinks it's a government conspiracy.
SPEAKER_01I don't know. I I just I get too much anxiety if I think about all the you know the wrong ways we've been we could be pulled down a road. But you know, just kind of hope and pray that I I mean that's the fact that Spielberg's movie is coming out at the same time that they're releasing, that's genius marketing. Okay, I'll tell you this. That is genius marketing. So hats off to whoever came up with that idea because you got me.
SPEAKER_02And real quick before we segment out of here, what about our next guest next week? Oh, yeah, Barry Sloan.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Barry Sloan, man, um, from Call of Duty.
SPEAKER_02Man, that was such an awesome podcast.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I think you guys are really gonna like Barry Sloan's uh uh interview. He talks about what he's got coming up with House of Dragons. He talks about um um Six Six and then Sandman and Sandman and oh, dude, yeah. I'm very excited for you guys to tune in next Tuesday for Barry Sloan.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he was such an awesome guy to talk to, and I was a huge fan of House of the Dragon. I can't I can't wait to see him. I think that premieres June 18th.
SPEAKER_01Yep, but Sean actually just got um Barry Sloan tattooed on his chest.
SPEAKER_02Yep, just the B though.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, it was it's very um, it's it's it's beautiful, Sean. It's it's so beautiful. Um, but uh all right, what do we got? What's what's next? What do we got this weekend? What's happening in the world?
SPEAKER_02So some box office quick hits. What won last weekend? So number one was Devil Wars Prada 2. We talked about that one.
SPEAKER_01Wow. 41.6 million and Mortal Kombat 2.
SPEAKER_0238.5 million open.
SPEAKER_01Well, that's a great opening for um that I did not think that was gonna um do good.
SPEAKER_02Um and then this Friday on the 15th, coming out, or today, coming out today, Obsession, a focus features horror in the gray, which is another Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal action thriller.
SPEAKER_01I'm super excited to see that, okay. The the the trailer plays like a Tony Scott 90s movie, and I'm very excited to see this one. I think this is gonna. I'm a big Jake Gyllenhaal fan of it.
SPEAKER_02Are you? Yeah, I'm gonna give me the creeps, dude.
SPEAKER_01I feel like I think he's a great actor.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, I do too. I think that's why it gives me the creeps, is because he feel like he I feel like his character in most of his movies is exactly like if something bad came out about Jake Jyllenhaal, I'd be like, oh yeah, that makes sense.
SPEAKER_01I don't know him enough to know anything, but I just I just think he's he just does the really consistent work.
SPEAKER_02Um and then the banter on our picks. So we can talk about Cavill and Jylan Hall in the same frame. That's kind of cool. I think I think Henry Cavill keeps getting those beauty roles. He's really been doing good since The Witcher.
SPEAKER_01Uh yeah, see Cav, I I'm not the biggest Henry Cavill fan. I think he's he's he's a good actor. I just I'm not uh I don't know. I don't know. I just see Superman every time. Every time I can't get him. I think that's the the the curse of playing Superman. Once you're Superman, then you're Superman and everything. So it's you know, I will say this. I saw a video of him doing Mission Impossible, and he made his beard appear out of nowhere. Did you see that?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it's pretty crazy. And even Tom Cruise said it's like we don't know how he did it. Like he's clean shaven, and then he kind of lets this and like like stubble comes out. Okay, so cool. So um then we have a big fight this weekend, too, Sean. I'm actually very excited to watch this because Rhonda Rousey, Gina Carano are coming back after a long layoff. This is gonna be good. Gina Carano, I I've said this before, I used to have a huge crush for her when I was younger, and when she was on American Gladiators, I just thought she was such a smoke show. And then Rhonda Rousey, we all love her or hate her, she she is the most dominant um female. Uh well, she was. I think um Men and Nunes is past her now. But she was every woman that's that's fighting in the UFC right now is because of what Rhonda Rousey did. She is a force to be reckoned with. Um then she went over to like the WWE and had a moment there. Um, and I think like um she had pitched it to the UFC to for it to happen there, and I think Dana said no.
SPEAKER_02So you're gonna get so much hate for that comment.
SPEAKER_01Why?
SPEAKER_02About saying everyone because of Rhonda Rousey, because I'm sure there's another female stud before her.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no. Rhonda Rousey was the was the one that put females on the map. She was the very first UF female UFC champion. She was the one that like Dana White didn't actually want to sign her, and then they finally let her in, and she was brought more her numbers were huge. She won, I think, like an eight-fight winning streak. Um, and then she lost to uh Holly Holly Holmes um in Australia with this brutal head kick. And then after that, it was down. But yeah, it I mean, what she's done in MMA for women is next level. Same with Gina Crano. Janet Crano, she was strike force, her and um uh cyborg had a big B for a while. And there was a moment there when they were all in their in their prime that they um should have fought, but again, money, politics, all the stuff kept it out. But I I'm a big fan of both of them, and I think I hope it goes well for for all of them. Um and uh and especially with Gina because she got you know she got canceled there for a while. Um, and I'm glad she's back and she looks good and she's gotten married, and so I'm happy she is back. And uh well that's uh that's it, man. Is it uh we we're through it all?
SPEAKER_02That's everything. That was a quick one today.
SPEAKER_01Was it quick? It was just a tip. Yeah, it was just a tip. Well, listen, guys, thank you for tuning in for another Unfiltered Friday. Sean, what are you gonna do this weekend?
SPEAKER_02I'm working on my car this weekend, buddy.
SPEAKER_01Dude, every weekend you're working on your car.
SPEAKER_02That's it, dude. I gotta get it done. I actually have some time set aside for um for actually I'm gonna yeah, for Saturday, and um get some more work done.
SPEAKER_01Nice. Well, I'm gonna be in Nashville uh doing a podcast. I'm very excited about this guest. I don't want to announce it just yet until I have it in the can, but it's very big and it'll be over the next two weeks. Uh, this guest that I've known for a while, but has agreed to do the show, and I'm pumped. Uh, and I think you guys are gonna be like it too. So listen, I hope everyone has a awesome, awesome weekend. Be safe. Uh stay out of trouble. If you drink, don't drive. Don't be so get an Uber, get a Lyft, get one of those cars that drives itself, because that would just be fun if you were drunk in a car that drives itself. Maybe it'll take the edge off and make you feel a little more comfortable. The only thing I wonder about with cars that drive themselves, if you've got a puke, you're not feeling so good, does it stop and allow you to puke? Or do you have to stick your face out in the wind and just make a mess at the side of the car? That's what I want to know. If you have the answer to that, put it in the comments. So, there you go. That's a high note to leave on. I love you guys. Thank you so much as always for following, um, listening while we make this little show into something. Um, if you're on Apple or Spotify, download. Hit the download button. The more downloads, the better. And um, we love it. So, if you guys have been on some of the love support, hope you have the morning Friday. I will see you Tuesday with Mr. Barry Slow and Blessed Happy Weekend.
