Talking in Circles
Mount Rushmore of Annoying Celebrities

About this Episode
Hey, I'm Bryce Carlson, writer of Hit, managing
editor at Boom Studios, and you're listening
to Talking in Circles. I was designed to save
the world. People who have looked to the sky
and seen hope. I'll take that from them first.
There's only one path to peace. Their extinction.
I tried to create a suit of armor around the
world. But I created something terrible. Artificial
intelligence. It's called the Ultron program.
I'm sick of watching people pay for our mistakes.
Isn't why we fight so we can end the fight and
go home? Well, you amazingly failed. Here we
all are. Nothing but our wit and our will save
the world. So stand and fight. There's no way
we all get through this. I got no plans tomorrow
night. I'm always picking up after you boys.
We can tear them apart. From the inside. That's
the best you can do! You got ass. You are now
on the inside of what I like to call the circle
of trust. We are all connected in a great circle
of life. You know something Bert? I think you
and I are going in circles. It feels like we're
going in circles. The circle is now complete.
When I left you, I was but the third. Now I am
the last. Because it's a circle. Yeah, we heard
about the circle. Yes, we're familiar with shapes.
Hi, this is Greg. This is Chuck. And this is
Dan. And we are Talking in Circles, brought to
you by the UCAS radio network, the podcast that's
gonna get really annoying. That's because today
we're going to be talking about those people
that you simply cannot stand. And hopefully it's
not us. Yeah, many for sure. It's the first time
it might be Greg. I don't know. It might be me.
I don't know how it goes. But we're going to
be trying to do maybe a Mount Rushmore of shame,
as you would say, is we try to construct the
Mount Rushmore of annoying celebrities. It's
going to be kind of hard to tear it down to four
people. The Kardashian family. Damn it. My mountain
is not big enough. I just don't know any other
names except for the Kim Kardashian. And I'm
glad about that. So I don't want that to change.
There's Chewbacca is in there. Chewbacca. Hey,
do not sully the name of Chewbacca. Come on now.
But yeah, we will be getting to that in the second
segment as we try to just construct the ultimate
Matt Rushmore of annoying celebrities. And before
we get to that, though, how has the week been
going for you guys? My week was wasn't too bad,
but the one morning I had. Something pretty awful
happened to me. Oh, I think I saw this on Facebook
I heard inside just reading it. Yeah, I was I
was walking around barefoot We have a dehumidifier.
That's Well, it's not plugged in right now because
wintertime the air is very dry. So you don't
need it but so of course it has like a three
prong electrical plug and So it's unplugged and
it's kind of I had it kind of coiled on the floor.
Well, apparently I must have bumped it prior
to that. And I was walking by it barefoot and
stepped right on the three prong plug. Ah, man.
With my heel and one of the prongs, just one,
not all three, but just one of them went right
up through my heel, just like a nail. Wow. That's
ow. Yeah. Mother. Was the real will call it Colkin
anywhere to be found by any chance? I did kind
of feel like Marv a little bit I Didn't scream
as good as Marv though He's got that down pat,
but yeah, no it it's weird like it didn't really
hurt I guess cuz like I was kind of on the side
of my heel, but you know how your skin is so
like calloused on your heel and stuff sometimes?
Yeah, and I'm calloused on the inside too. Wait,
no, put on. So it kind of like went up, like
it went up through, but then it shot through
the side sort of, and it didn't hurt at all.
And like, I didn't even say our anything. And
then like, I, you know, I picked my foot up right
away because obviously I felt I stepped on something
and, but I was like, man, that felt like it broke
the skin. And I picked my foot up and it was
like bleeding all over So that kind of sucked
those it was a little sore that day but it's
healing quite nicely now, but very very weird
Very weird thing. Yeah, that is get a watch out
for those humanifiers man. There's some serious
business Wow Greg, how's your week been going?
Hopefully it's a little bit more less dangerous
than Chuck's Well, it's kind of dangerous for
the people around me because I need to buy new
underwear, apparently. That's what that smell
is. No, not that way. Last night, I was downstairs
going to get a drink, not an alcoholic beverage.
I have a cappuccino tonight. It's delicious.
But I was trying to get the dog back into bed
because for some reason she's up roaming around.
So I'm down there trying to get a drink. She's
up. And I'm like, reason, go to bed, go to bed.
Go to bed raise and did that about four or five
times. Then finally, I'm physically moving her
over towards her bed. So finally, she's off the
bed again. So I'm like, screw it. I'm going to
pick her up and physically place her on her bed.
I go to bend over to pick her up. Oh, son of
a bitch. Oh, well, well, you're going to have
to change that when I get upstairs, because I
just wear boxers around the house. But I go to
bend over to pick up the dog again. Riffs even
further. Yeah, that happened about another two
times. So I had a hole from almost like the bottom
of the boxer shorts all the way almost up to
the belt buckle area. And so, yeah, those were
completely junk after I was done there. I went
into more room to breathe though, you know. Yeah,
I threw those away and i've been having that's
about the fifth pair of underwear i've had to
throw away in like the last two or three weeks
Like i'm i'm it's like an epidemic running around
here like with my boxer shorts i'm not sure what's
going on But I definitely need to buy some new
ones. It's like the underpants gnomes from south
park or yeah Like if there's, I know Nerdist
has a sponsorship from some kind of underwear
place. I think we should get one for there so
I can restock up again. We're just planning the
scene now. Remember a few weeks ago when my underwear
broke? Well, now it's better than ever because
of whatever this underwear thing is. These won't
break down. Interesting. Yeah, so I don't have
any broken underwear or stepping on things. One
thing I did was I did get to sit down and watch
it a good deal of One of the biggest TV shows
that come out and so far this year and that's
a return of House of Cards I don't I don't think
you guys watch that show at all. Correct. It's
political So now never watch it this season is
probably the most political last season season
2 was very like It was almost like a glorified
soap opera in a lot of ways. It was so schlocky
and over the top, but in fun ways. This season
is kind of... Tone that down and it's a little
bit like more on the political side It's it's
I for me as a fan of a you know, someone who
really loved the west wing It's like west wing
is almost like the idyllic version of what politics
could be and this is like the sleaziest version
of what politics could be So i'm guessing this
is probably the more realistic Version of it
where uh, I don't want to get anything away Just
in case you ever anyone has watched it or hasn't
finished last season or what have you but The
main character Frank Underwood is played by Kevin
Spacey. He's typically the type of character
That's always like three steps ahead of everybody
else. But in this he's like Exactly. He's Batman.
He's a political Batman. He has his own batwing.
I guess I don't know But yeah, so he's always
like a few steps ahead of everybody, but this
season, it's kind of changed. Like he's in a
new, more powerful position. So you see him kind
of crumbling, you know, that house of cards,
as it will, where it's his, uh, him and his wife
had a relationship, had some stumbles and like,
it's almost like he finally got what he always
wanted, but maybe it's not nearly working out
as well as he thought it would. So for some reason,
I don't know what it is, but I've fallen asleep
during nearly every episode. And it's not because
the show is bad. It is really It is like it is
methodical with its pacing, but I don't know
It's just one of those things where if my wife's
like if we're gonna watch this, you know, you're
gonna fall asleep It's it is like clockwork.
I don't know why I'm like I'm enjoying it But
it's like almost like a calm enjoying it where
it's like a sleeping pill for me for whatever
reason So I have to go back and if we watch like
the same episodes three or four times But I'd
like like I said, I do enjoy it. I'm just really
good sleeping. I guess Exactly, what what season
of that is that Dan the season three it's okay.
Yeah I don't know if you'd like it Chuck and
I and Greg I'm not sure either because like you
said is a little political. It's I mean, it's
a good show It's not like I wouldn't put it near
my favorite or call it like great, but it's fun.
It's it's a good binge watch I think it's good
for Netflix because it's one of those shows you
can just keep watching over and over again like
you just pick up from the next episode so and
they dump all the episodes all at once and just
has me If anything, it's like a preview for the
Daredevil series. Once that comes out, just getting
ready for that. Cause can't wait to see that
and what Netflix is going to do with that character.
So that's for sure. That's season three of House
of Cards and it's now available for streaming
on Netflix. And what's weird, I think it will
eventually come to DVD, which seems like backwards,
but it doesn't make sense. I don't know. But
Greg, I know like you actually want to go to
a movie that I really wanted to see I haven't
got the opportunity to see yet, but I've heard
great things and Yeah, you would back those things
up as well. Yeah, it was it was good. It was
definitely a little spooky of Older spy movies
and they definitely made sure that you realize
that it was kind of spoofing playing on the whole
concept of the spy movie. So what movie did you
see? I saw, sorry, Kingsman. I forget the little
sub part of it, but it's Kingsman with Colin
Firth, Samuel Jackson. But yeah, it was a lot
of fun. Colin Firth was brilliant in it. I wish
he had he played a bigger part. Freaking Samuel
Jackson with that lisp that he had going. was
fantastic. There was, I guess it was a guest
appearance that I think Chuck would really love
and appreciate. And I'm not even sure if you
knew about it, Dan, but Mark Hamill's in there.
Really? Yeah, he's in there. It's not a huge
part. He's just in there for a little bit, but
it was it was pretty awesome to see him and I
picked up on him Immediately like a live -action
Mark Hamill or live -action Mark Hamill. He's
it's not like a voiceover or anything like that.
He's not like this facility will be Self -destruct
in ten seconds. He's actually in there Wow. Yeah,
I was not aware of that. Yeah, he's he's in there.
Like I said, short, short part, but it was it
was a lot of fun. It was I really appreciated
the action scenes and there were some great action
scenes. It wasn't as funny as I thought it was
going to be, but it was it was humorous and enjoyable.
I definitely liked Colin Firth's character. I
definitely liked it when he was kicking ass.
And so it was kind of disappointing for when
part of the movie He was uh in bed, uh for some
of it i'll say Not that he didn't take a nap.
He was watching house of cards He too fell asleep
in but there was there was uh, when the kid gets
trained in everything I was expecting to see
a lot more of his training being done They kind
of skip over it and kind of show you little parts
of it and it They just kind of show you his dog.
One second is kind of a little pup, and then
all of a sudden it's a full grown dog. So you've
kind of realized he's gone through all this.
I wish there was a little bit more of that, but
then the movie would have been extra long. But
I thought it was well done enough that they could
have done that and gotten away with the extra
time in there. The Samuel L. Jackson's plot.
to destroy the world or whatever you want to
say for his villain reasons. I thought that was
done already and kind of used, but they do make
it fun and enjoyable. Like I keep saying over
and over again, I feel like I'm doing here, but
it was really good. I'm planning on seeing it
tomorrow. Hopefully if this girl actually says
yes to going out with me, I've asked her about
five billion times and I keep getting maybe.
Just give me a yes or a no, I don't care if you're
turning me down Just let me so I know like you're
you're a fan of like the Roger Moore type of
bond Bond films. Is that is it fall in line with
those you feel like like kind of campy or is
it more like? No, not really campy, but they
do I do talk about it a lot. Colin Firth and
Samuel L. Jackson kind of refer to them as movies
and liking them. And Samuel L. Jackson is like,
I always wanted to be the spy. And Colin Firth's
like, well, I always wanted to be the villain.
And it just so happens their characters are actually
reversed in this movie. But they're talking about
in this movie that they wanted to be villain
and spy respectively. And they turned out opposite.
So they have a lot of references to that stuff.
And then I was surprised. I'm like, There's no
like big, like James Bond was sleeping with everybody.
There really wasn't any of that until later in
the film, which was kind of a nice little, I
enjoyed it. So if the people go see it and they're
like, well, what part did Gregor really enjoy?
It will become completely obvious at the end
of the movie. Where would you put this in with
like Matthew Vaughn's other movies? Cause I know
like, I believe you like kick. I don't know how
you feel about kick ass. I know you like it.
X -Men First Class. I really enjoyed X -Men First
Class. I don't think it's quite there with X
-Men First Class, even though the action scenes
really put it up there, to be quite honest. Otherwise,
it'd be just an average movie, but the action
scenes really take it up there, and I wish there
were a lot more of the action scenes. But I would
put it above Kick Ass, to be quite honest. I
did enjoy Kick Ass, but I thought it was a little
bit more enjoyable and just felt... Like that
the feel of the movie felt a lot better Cool.
I don't know any of his other movies. So I got
for he's done stardust which I haven't seen he's
done layer cake He's in like five movies sounds
delicious. Never seen it It's pretty good. It
is like his they say it's like his trial version
of bond because it has it starts Daniel Craig
too And it's kind of like a that type of film
I'm forgetting one when they can't think what
it is. So Already I'm sure the internet will
correct me or fill me in But Chuck, I know you
also like me watch some TV as well. So what are
you feeling up to? I watched a show online that
I sort of wanted to Check out this year. It's
a new show this year. It's called fresh off the
boat It's a comedy show It's not a food show?
No, it's not another travel channel food show.
But basically what it is, it's a Taiwanese family
that sort of moves from Washington DC to Orlando,
Florida. And it takes place in like 1995, so
like mid 90s. And it looked interesting from
the previews and I heard some good things about
it online. So, but I didn't get to check out
as much of it as I wanted. I only watched the
first episode. And I got to say, I was really
disappointed in it. Oh, really? And I'm not sure
why, but the entire, I mean, it's only a half
hour show, so it's about 21 minutes by the time
you take the commercials out. Through the whole
21 minutes, I did not laugh once. And I'm not
sure what it was. Dan and I are so sad for you
right now. You can hear it. I know. I was all
excited because I love comedy shows. And I was
like, oh, this is going to be great because I
heard good things about it. Like, I didn't even
laugh once. I'm like, this kind of sucks. I mean,
it's interesting. I don't, it's hard to explain.
Like what they're doing on the screen is interesting
to follow, but it's just not really funny. Like,
like you're kind of interested in what happens
next to them and what they're going through,
but it doesn't really make you like, it's not
side splitting, like humor, like, I don't know.
But for what I could kind of compare it to is
like, it seems like it's trying to be like the
Goldbergs if you've ever, if anybody's ever seen
that. I've seen a couple because I used to. Stay
on for them after agents the shield when I stopped
watching agents shield so Goldberg went out the
window Yeah, and like Goldberg's is pretty funny.
I think like yeah I've gotten quite a few laughs
out of that this seems like it's trying to Sort
of ride the coattails of that, but it doesn't
seem like it Really hit its stride in the first
episode which I know not everyone does but so
basically I guess I'm sort of looking for some
recommendations to anyone that has watched more
of it than me. Should I keep watching? Should
I watch a couple more episodes and give it a
shot? Or does it just continue to stink basically?
At this point, just watching the first episode,
I couldn't recommend it because I really didn't
get much out of it. But for some reason, people
are are liking it online to some degree. But,
you know, maybe I'll check out another episode
or two. Not check that out. I do with the the
one that I really want to check out. There was
a Last Man on Earth with Will Forte. Oh, that
looks so good. I didn't see it though Yeah, I
didn't see it either. My only question watching
that show is like how can they sustain? Yeah
Just him destroying shit all the time Yeah, yeah,
I mean like I think it'd be great, but I don't
care. You're not I mean they maybe they could
but it I'm looking forward to watching that but
uh, my wife had no interest in it whatsoever
So I gotta find time like when she's watching
Scandal or something to watch a good show. If
only you lived up here, Dan. We could cuddle
on the couch and watch. Last man on earth. That
would not be ironic whatsoever. But yeah. But
before we go, we are going to talk about one
thing. And unfortunately, Greg did not catch
up with it because, you know, he's a busy guy.
Yeah, he's got dates and shit. Single life, whatever.
And that's the fact that the trailer for Avengers,
Age of Ultron, the third trailer for Avengers,
Age of Ultron has now been released. And so Chuck,
I'm curious. I mean, obviously we just did our
geek powering because it was number one. We're
going to go see it. There's no, it's not like
this was a make or break, but does this have
you any more excited than previously or are you
pretty much exactly where you were before you
witnessed the third trailer? I gotta say I think
I'm even more excited if that's even possible.
And it's funny because I have a friend at work
that's like really into these Marvel movies now
like mostly because of me because I've sort of
introduced him to them and like he just got taken
in by the whole universe so he like he tells
me like Chuck like he looks me like in the eye
and he's like Chuck if something comes out online
send it to me immediately. Like a trailer or
anything. So like I came across this actually
day the other day and I think it was it was a
Geek has radios Facebook post I saw it first
and on Twitter or something. Yeah, I think it's
Twitter not Facebook, but so I watched it quick
and I immediately sent it to him and I went up
to it watched it first then sent it to him I
gotta make sure it's legit because if it's like
a fake like fan one, you know, then I look like
an ass so Yeah, i've done that before. I thought
a trailer was real like this is not. Yeah. It's
like check this out. I'm an idiot It's like there's
terminator stuff in here. I'm not sure why this
is happening Well, that happened the first time
I saw the episode 7 trailer. I'm like this, you
know people said it was released I watched it.
I'm like this looks okay. It looks Kind of weird.
I'm like, wait, this is not, this is a fan trailer.
I've been fooled before. So, you know, we both
checked it out and we were like, Oh, this is
awesome. It was so cool. Like just, just seeing
the new footage and stuff. And I particularly
liked hearing a little bit more of James Spader's
voice. And I thought it was like, I guess a good
way to describe it is delightfully creepy. Like
he has, he just has like a really good evil voice
and. They sort of put that little robot reverb
in the echo on it, and it just sounds awesome.
It's just so cool. Hopefully Marvel will have
another good villain again. With Loki gone, they
need someone to step up but everything I'm seeing
so far. I'm really liking about Ultron So that's
that's and it does seem interesting though that
it does seem almost a little bit smaller scale
this time around which seems a lot for Avengers
movie obviously it's like big but like it's like
the final battle what or seems to be the final
battle seems to take place more in like a Isolated
area, you know, they're not trying to save a
city. They're kind of just like in some like
refuge like almost like a This rubble area or
something like that and this now I'm really curious
what those snow scenes are taking. Yeah So that
that looks really cool and it does seem like
Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are fighting on
the side of Ultron and there's this really one
great moment that I caught where You see Quicksilver
like running and like punching Captain America
in the face, like he's like going slow motion,
but the quick service going like normal speed,
which is really cool. So I'm really looking forward
to the fact that they're going to have like people
with different powers and you know, it's, it's
going to, I'm super excited about it. I think
this is our best trailer so far. A couple of
things that got me thinking about was one, I'm
really curious to see if, if their Quicksilver
can outdo the days of future past Quicksilver.
It's going to be hard because his scene sort
of stole that movie. Like he stole the show.
And I really want to see if they can do that.
I know like we've talked about uh, what's his
name Aaron Taylor Johnson Yeah, we were a little
bit disappointed with him and Godzilla and stuff
So we're kind of anxious to see how he does with
this role But I think he could be a good actor
like he was pretty good in kick -ass and he's
in this movie nowhere boy We plays like a young
John Lennon. He's pretty good in that too. So
He does have like a thousand yard stare when
seeing him in the trailer for For the Avengers
like his face almost looks like like he seems
like not all there. It may just be the haircut.
Yeah but the other cool thing is like You get
a little bit more of a glimpse of Scarlet witch
trying to control people Like with a mind control
you because you kind of see you're messing with
a black widow. You see this like red energy coming
out of her fingers and sort of connecting to
Black Widow's head. And it kind of, if you look
back to the first Avengers trailer, one of the
scenes where they showed the Hulk, like his eyes
were all red and stuff. So it kind of makes me
wonder is like, is she controlling the Hulk?
Does she make him, you know, sort of, is that
why Iron Man has to use the Hulkbuster to stop
him and stuff? So it's. Just trying to piece
stuff together, but probably be way off by the
time we actually watch it. Well, you've we've
been right before. I remember like you making
that awesome call about the scales and the the
future sentinels and X -Men days. Oh, yeah, I
forgot about that. So, you know, give yourself
some credit there, you know, you never know.
You could be right. But yeah, so definitely looking
forward to avengers. It's uh, hopefully you can
live up to the hype because there's a lot of
it, but I don't know greg you think you're gonna
watch a trailer or just skip it and just No,
probably watch it. I just didn't get around to
it. Um I've been well, not super busy at work,
but uh, i've got somebody looking right down
my shoulder so I can't really play around as
much as I like to at work, but Anything else
before we take a quick break? Let's do it Alright,
so we're gonna take a quick break and when we
come back I'll be discussing all of those people
you can't stand and it's gonna be a great venting
session to kind of You know really let it out
and finally tell the world and tell these people
They're so annoying that their faces need to
be etched in stone So everyone can realize I
just need to go away some some of their faces
are already etched in stone. Thanks to body surgery
That's very true So we'll be right back and we'll
see you in a bit Shout! Let it on out! These
are the people we want to punch in the face!
Shout out! Grab your helmets because it's time
to assemble M .A .S .K. Masked Mayhem is here

All right, and welcome back. And today we are
talking about people who annoy you. You know,
those naggers. And South Park fans will understand
that joke. I don't know. Have you seen that episode
of South Park? No, I saw the one the motorcycle
gangs and they kept calling them fags, which
I completely agree with. For context, not making
fun of gay people, it's making fun of bikers,
which I do think the word fag should go to bikers
because their motorcycles are really fucking
annoying going down in front of my house. Anyways
back on track. So today we are talking about
those celebrities that annoy you and it's gonna
be hard So we've done a few episodes like this
before we said we did Frank the franchise Mount
Rushmore Comedy Mount Mount Rushmore and kind
of like almost like the Mount Rushmore like no
one probably would want to be on well I think
some of the people we're gonna talk about probably
would love being on it just because They're so
full of themselves anything any type of homage
to them. They'll be happy. Oh, I got attention
Exactly. So it's gonna be tough just narrowing
it down to four. So well We'll throw some out
there, we'll have some discussion, and then obviously
we'll love to hear what you guys have to say.
So if you go to geocastradio .com or nerdly .co
.uk, let us know who would make your own personal
amount rush more of annoying people. So let's
start things off. Before we started, I was looking
up some quotes from probably someone who has
to make this list. Well, he's the person that
made me think of doing this in the first place,
and that is the infamous Kanye West. Exactly,
exactly. Recently in the Grammys we got another
moment he had trying to like steal the spotlight
from Beck because I guess he needs to worship
at the throne of Beyoncé. I'm gonna let you finish
what you're - Thank you, Greg. I appreciate it.
Wait, I am respectful of artists, Greg. I'm respectful
of artists. But I thought it'd be kind of funny
just to read some Kanye West quotes. They are
like ungodly ridiculous. It's like how are these
even real things that come out of someone's mouth?
One of my biggest Achilles heels has been my
ego and if I Kanye West can remove my ego there
is hope out there for everyone I Am God's vessel,
but my greatest pain in life is that I will never
be able to see myself perform live Get him Chuck
Douche much? Yeah, so this don't understand that
I am God's vessel But my greatest pain in life
is that I will not be able to see myself perform
live He is God's vessel meaning God shits into
his giant ass dumb head And his head acts as
the freaking toilet I think what Kanye West is
going to mean is something similar to what Steve
Jobs means I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve
of the internet downtown fashion culture period
by a long jump. I honestly feel that because
Steve has passed, you know, it's like when Biggie
passed and Jay Z was allowed to become Jay Z.
I have no idea what those words are supposed
to mean. Is he retarded? Like is he half like
half retarded? No, I kind of think he is. See
that would like people with mental retardation
at least have some sort of disability. He's just.
Well, yeah. And they're usually good at something,
but he's not even good at singing. He's just
a crazy person. Oh my gosh. Like it seriously
sounds like he's slow, like he can't comprehend
stuff. I think it's just like when you're that
full of yourself that you just like your brain
stops working in certain ways, you know, like
your brain, you know, that old... Idea that like
only like you were used like 10 % of your brain,
which isn't true But maybe it's something where
it's like if your ego is so large It's like you're
just automatically drunk all the time. It like
over floods your brain with hormones. I don't
know. That's an interesting Just an idea. Sometimes
people write novels and they just be so wordy
and so subabsorbed I'm not fan of books. I would
never want books. I would never want a books
autograph. I'm a proud non reader of books I
Like picture books I will go down as the voice
of this generation of the decade. I will be the
loudest voice I Don't I don't know if he realizes
just cuz you're the loudest voice doesn't mean
you're the voice of the generation Pretty sure
that's Pepsi aren't they they're the new generation
Hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with
a bottle water bottle next to me and I'm like,
oh great now I gotta be responsible for this
water bottle Imagine what he has to deal with
with this I woke up next to this child's and
now I have to be responsible. Oh here Kim you
take it This will end it. I sorry there's one
more but this is kind of this is kind of Put
it all in perspective. You should only believe
about 90 % of what I say as a matter of fact
Don't even believe anything that I'm saying at
all. I could be completely fucking with you in
the world the entire time Which he could be but
I don't think he is I think that's almost thinking
he's smart enough for that I feel like he said
that just to sort of save face like for all the
dumb shit he said Yeah, exactly exactly but I
thought that would be the perfect way to start
just how insane Kanye West is so I Think it goes
without saying that he probably at least belongs
in the discussion of the Mount Rushmore of annoying
celebrities I would put him on there already
We could maybe ash his own little face in there.
Yeah, that's that's Maybe it'll be like us ashing
him in but then like he comes in to interrupt
us to say Beyonce should be there. It's like
Beyonce is is good, but like She can't be everything
like come on Exactly. I think the best thing
I saw was like someone respected like responded
to Kanye West It's like look at the number of
like producers and directors and people who put
in like the make Beyonce's album Look how many
people went in to make Beck's album. It was back.
That was the only dude like he did it all Oh
shit. I didn't even know that that's amazing.
Yeah, you like plays all his own instruments.
It's kind of insane but anyway, so Kanye West
is there and And he feels fitting that like one
that may also go in is related to Kanye West.
Well, I guess married now. And when we put this
out on Twitter and Facebook, this was one of
the first responses. And that was the Kardashians.
I don't know how you feel about putting them
on or one of them on this. This Matt Rushmore
of annoying celebrities. Chewy. Which one's chewy?
The the big one that looks like a shaved walkie.
Don't know is that it's not Kim, right? That's
anyone that name. No, it's the it's the one that's
like a freaking Giant that's like 10 billion
like feet What no she is she is she a Kardashian
I don't even know it but no no I don't know her
name. It's Chloe. They're all freaking K's like
okay. Yeah something Chloe I guess I don't know
truck and do you feel do you feel they believe
in but they belong in discussion of knowing celebrities
Absolutely, I think I think Kim more than anyone
is more annoying just because she gets the most
like coverage or whatever but I Don't know what's
more obnoxious her or the fact that like everyone
just swoons over her then like She has like I
don't think any talent as far as I've like heard.
She's like She has tons of talent in the better
No, I mean she's she's good at standing And like
setting out naked photos of herself. I feel like
every You know a few weeks. There's like another
naked photo of Kim Kardashian You're like, oh,
we're trying to break the internet, but I'm like
literally you've been naked like all the time
There's like I don't know what what more we're
gonna see of you. I don't think it's possible
Detailed maps ever asked the NASA hasn't the
moon Well, you know more people have been on
that then the moon so there you go Chuck I know
you said you had some so Kim Kardashian Connie
West we can probably put them in discussion Maybe
even put them on there or the entire kid Kardashian
family But anyone else besides like the those
obvious ones that we can maybe talk about as
well The first one I would probably bring up
is Miley Cyrus Absolutely obnoxious like every
like For some reason she pops up in like little
ads and stuff on like websites. And like in every
single picture, she has her tongue out as far
as it could possibly go. And Dan has got a fist
at you. Not you, Dan. The other Dan. Our other
friend Dan. Yeah, but that was back in the day.
I don't know about now, but she just always has
her tongue out and her feet up in the air. And
it's like, she's just so obnoxious. Like, what
are you trying to do? Like, are you trying to
fit in a box that, like, a contortionist would
do? She's secretly a mime this entire time. We
don't know. Doesn't look appealing, though. Like,
Miley Cyrus is something I... Unlike, like, Kanye
West, Miley Cyrus doesn't say a lot of annoying
things, or at least what I can remember, but
it's just, like, her... She's just... That, like,
girl who just wants attention, or that person
just keeps wanting attention by doing really
stupid things that... I don't know if she's trying
to be funny, or just doesn't realize... Or just
lack self -awareness or something like that.
So I definitely think she belongs in the discussion
And I don't know maybe just that child star syndrome
where she's just that Completely gone insane.
So I don't know One person also came came to
my mind and correct I don't know if you'll know
who this is because it's kind of related to sports
and sports commentary and There's a lot of annoying
people that talk about sports But this is a person
that literally almost had me stop watching much
of ESPN just because I can't Just find him ultimately
annoying and the type of guy who just says things
to get attention and that's skip Bayless Oh Skip
Bayless he like he is a commentator on ESPN e
Part of first take he he's a I think he's a writer
too for what I can remember but he he's like
the type of guy who will like Say whatever just
to get attention and he's he's the one who'll
Say whoever the like the greatest quarterback
is if it's like Peyton Manning or something like
that Like well, he's not really as good as people
say he is because I don't know. I don't know
how you feel about skip Bayless Chuck, but I'm
assuming it's not positive Yeah, I can't stand
that guy. I've like I've pretty much disliked
him since the first time I saw him on TV he just
I don't know he just has like a an arrogance
about him like he has to play devils advocate
on everything And like I mean sometimes that's
good for like sports discussion, but not to that
degree where it's just like annoying It's like
you said when somebody's talking about pete mayn
be the best quarterback. He'd be like, well,
I think vinnie tester already is better like
what? Because I mean you never said that but
it's just like stuff like that to that extent.
Yeah, it's just like uh, he is Ridiculous and
I remember one thing I saw where he tweeted out
like I called it I said that in the Dallas Cowboys
would win the NFC East and like be the number
one seed and then someone like responded to that
with a picture of his tweet from earlier the
year saying I didn't see that yeah Dallas Cowboys
will go seven and nine or something like that
and the the Eagles won the NFC East and like
like really did you say that skip Bayless because
Kind of didn't Yeah, I don't like I don't think
he's popular enough to make it but as someone
who like like sports Enjoy sports talk radio
like I love Mike and Mike and those guys but
like he's just one that even like I like Stevie
Smith I don't mind as much but for him. It's
just it's just that something about him He's
like that like arrogant English teacher like
in but in sports like I don't know something.
He's just so off -putting But anyone Greg anyone
else comes your mind. I don't even watch basketball,
but LeBron James pisses me off He would uh, anything
particularly really kind of make you not a fan
of an announcement, uh an hour The centered around
him about him changing freaking teams Or he just
needs to be like he could do that in like two
fucking seconds. Oh, yeah I'm going to miami
heat. Bye. Yeah, it's all he fucking needs I
don't know otherwise, but he just seems like
he's got his head stuck up his ass to me Yeah,
I mean considering the fact that like since he
was in high school He was named like gonna be
the next prodigy and in all fairness. He has
been like an amazing player The what was it called
the decision? Is that what that decision? Yeah
Yeah, that might be one of the worst PR decisions
in all of history. So now he's back with Cleveland.
So I don't know I Makes that even worse. Then
are you Chuck? I know there's a lot of people
in sports that you're not a fan of as well as
Lebron James one of them Yeah, definitely I and
I've actually like I don't just hate on him because
of like what I see an ESPN like I've watched
a lot of games that he's played in because I'm
a huge Bulls fan as I've mentioned from time
to time before and I watched a lot of big televised
games where the Bulls played the heat and stuff
over the last few years and He's just really
annoying because Every like single foul He acts
like it was against him And if they call him
for the foul, he looks so surprised, like, what
did I do? And he mowed the guy down and he's
laying on the ground. It's like he wants every
call and he fakes every call. He flops. It's
just unbelievable. He's an amazing player. He's
an amazing passer and he's an amazing shooter.
You know, everything. But I think the way he...
Just sort of carries himself and reacts to different
things like he sort of throws some tantrums from
time to time Just just an annoying type of player
for me to watch like I I prefer a lot of other
players over him See, I don't I don't want enough
basketball to really say how he plays because
I really don't know I can never get into basketball
but I do agree the decision thing was probably
one of the dumbest moments in history, but Other
than that, though, I don't think he is like consistently
annoying as much as some other sports people
we can probably talk about. But I do think he
does he does do a lot of dumb things sometimes
when it comes to like promoting himself. I mean,
in all fairness, like he could have been a lot
worse considering the fact that he was like named
King James in like ninth grade. So it'd be good
if he just had someone in his corner that maybe
said maybe it's not a good idea that you do that.
And anyone else guys can come to mind Rick. I'm
sure there's a lot of people on the tip of your
tongue anyone else We want to discuss when it
comes to annoying celebrities. How about this
one? Snooki, ha Is calling her a celebrity so
yeah, yeah, no, it's a strong word, but she kind
of is Yeah, you said the whole cast right crack.
Yeah, they've kind of come and gone, right? I
mean people yeah pretty much Well, I still talk
about her. Yeah. Yeah, they still have they still
have that J Woww Snooki show, right? I'm not
sure I did. This is how much I don't keep track
of them. I think I don't even know. I don't know
who J Well is. So I feel good about that, though.
Yeah, you should. I see it on from time to time
and I'm flipping through and it's just like every
time I hear Snooki just like shut up, shut up.
I cannot turn the channel fast enough. Like she
just sounds like an idiot. Like, I don't know.
Oh man, I just when I thinking annoying celebrities,
there's owl is always going to South Park but
South Park had the ultimate parody of Snicky
I love that one It's uh, it's it's pretty good.
That's probably that's probably a good element
of knowing you've made it as an annoying celebrity
if you get kind of made fun of on a south park,
but Yeah, I definitely think Snooki's in discussion.
So you know Snooki Kanye West Miley Cyrus that
they are really they were really awful awful
people and Anyone else That I have a few I can
go if you wanted to discuss annoying celebrities
She was the original Kim Kardashian and I feel
like some skin Kardashians come on on the scene
She's kind of gone away for whatever reason but
that's Paris Hilton Yeah, she's kind of like
the one who started the whole getting a sex tape
and then becoming famous type of thing Yeah,
she yeah Kim Kardashian's kind of like Paris
Hilton jr There's actually a really great skit
way back when with She went on SNL with like
Jimmy Fallon talking about like the Hilton hotels
and it's like is it really get it really easy
to get in a Hilton or But yeah, I think she's
in discussion. She I guess the only thing that's
kind of hurting her I guess in a good way is
the fact that she's kind of gone away for the
most part She's not like she had that reality
TV show for a while and then but she's kind of
uh, I don't know Maybe people moved on past that
of the Paris Hilton's of the world And it's funny
I was like googling like annoying celebrities
and some of these I don't even know who they
are Like someone said like Spencer Pratt. Like
I don't know who that is The one Kardashian boyfriend
is really fucking annoying. That's got that Scott
Disick. Oh He's a giant tool bag Craftsman Lake
doesn't have the biggest tool bag as he is What
see is he just famous for being her boyfriend?
Yes And he is the biggest Deutsch bag in existence.
Well, this is what I'm surprised we haven't talked
about yet, and that's Justin Bieber. I was going
to bring him up next. I wasn't knowing about
him was like all the trouble he was getting into
recently. Yeah. And just how like self -centered
he was and thought like everything was about
him. And like I know this story came out or.
If anyone's familiar with, uh, Keishon Johnson,
he was a former NFL wide receiver, whatever,
uh, like neighborhood he lives in or whatever.
I guess he lives in the same neighborhood as
Justin Bieber and Keishon Johnson has like small
children. And I guess Bieber was like racing
up and down the streets in Guinea or some frigging
thing. And Keishon Johnson got like really mad
because like his kids are you know, out playing
and stuff. And this kid was like 17, 16 or 17
at the time. I don't even think he had a driver's
license. Then he's like flying up and down the
road. So there's this big, like, big sort of
battle between those two. And just everything
that he did, everything that Bieber did was like
really annoying. Like the way he just felt that
everything revolved around him. But when Keith
Johnson thinks you're being irrational and immature.
You have some problems going on. Yeah, so the
guy who was literally kicked off of you know,
the buccaneers for being like Uncontrollable
and yeah, that's and he too that with the arrogance
and just the ridiculousness and taking himself
way too seriously and not too long ago There
was like that photo that was at least of him
from like Calvin Klein ad which was like super
photoshopped and made him look like really buff
but they showed the original photo which was
him like really scrawny and tiny and Photoshopped
like all the different parts that they you know,
quote unquote enhanced. So Didn't he get busted
for like marijuana or something? He did he got
busted for weed and then he like he was like
laughing about it in the In the interview or
something thought it was funny Something like
that. He probably did like Looking up Justin
Bieber quotes as we as we speak to because i'm
sure there's a lot of great quotes that he's
done But in the meantime, so yeah, I definitely
think he I feel like his music is pretty awful.
Like there's at least with Kanye West. I like
some of his stuff I'm not gonna lie, but Justin
Bieber. I think everything he does is pretty
Generic and needs to go away. And then he's just
such a little prick. He's like the rich kid and
like every Like every like, you know teenage
comedy that that's like the evil rich kid. That's
like Justin Bieber now He's like the quintessential
douchebag in a lot of ways So here's some great
quotes from Justin Bieber Of course, I think
that people are just waiting for that time when
I make a mistake and they're gonna jump on it.
You know, they're gonna be haters. No, you're
an idiot. That's why like you do. He doesn't
even have good quotes like Kanye West. He's just
kind of stupid. Well, I know who you should look
up quotes from is Will Smith's son, Jaden Smith.
I heard he had like some weird shit going on
with him recently. Oh, geez. First of all, dear
Will Smith, please bring your food back and stop
trying to make Jaden Smith happen. It's not gonna
happen. He's he's not talented, but I'm we talked
about sports. No surprise. This guy didn't come
up yet. And as a Giants fan, I really don't like
him and I always find him super annoying. I'm
kind of glad he's gone. And that's Tio Terrell
Owens. Yeah, I wasn't there for a lot of Tio
stuff, so I can't really just towards the end.
He was kind of a douche, but there's a lot of
players like that to be quite. Yeah, I thought
you were gonna say Tom Brady for a second. Yeah,
I mean we could talk about Tom Brady. You certainly
I think I don't know if he's annoying He's just
kind of douchey. But I mean he has an infamous
like Working out in the parking lot thing and
he's I don't know. I Chuck are you a fan at all
to you? Do you think he belongs or do you think
there's better candidates? Teos like yeah, he
was definitely annoying. It seemed like sort
of I don't want to say typical diva receiver
because he kind of took it to another level with
his celebrations. But I mean, like a lot of receivers
in the NFL seem to be divas and stuff. So I mean,
definitely in his time, he was highly annoying,
but he's sort of fallen by the wayside, I guess,
like some of the other people on the list. So
I don't know. Yeah So speaking of those infamous
Jaden Smith quotes, here's kind of a doozy It's
proven that how time moves for you depends on
where you are in the universe It's relative to
beings in other places But on that level of being
here on earth you are aware in the moment One
second can last a year and if you are unaware
your whole childhood your whole life can pass
by in a six seconds So Jaden Smith does not know
how time works Wow, he is screwed this upcoming
Sunday It's dependent the past I'm sorry, yeah,
and then if you're like in Arizona that you don't
do daylight savings, it's insane. So He's really
fucked there. Yeah, so we so we're thinking of
you know celebrities here and I think we can
kind of wrap it up and looking at like the biggest
annoying celebrities for me We've already talked
about Kanye West and the Kardashians clearly
on the Mount Rushmore of Hall of Fame. Oh, yeah
Anyone that's that we talked about anyone we
haven't talked about that definitely belongs
there as well I'll probably think of one way
to probably add it to the comments or people
will tell us in the come Okay, so there's just
one more celebrity thinking that we can kind
of go over and think that might finish up and
that's that's Donald Trump I just I don't know
what about him, but I find him so just a blowhard
and he just gets involved in everything and Don't
know whatever. He's just so annoying to me. I
don't know what you guys think about Donald Trump.
His daughter is freaking gorgeous Well, he's
got that going for him. So yeah Do you think
do we think he belongs to the Matt Rushmore of?
annoying celebrities Yes, just so I could see
how his toupee looks in stone That would be kind
of awesome. I don't know if they have enough
stone So I'm just going down the list here anyone
else we missed oh What about I feel like this
one like this guy is goes beyond annoying and
it's just criminal and that's Chris Brown No,
I just don't like him for the fact that he punched
a woman. I don't yeah, but yeah, I don't watch
anything He's in or I try not to watch anything.
He's involved with her What uh, what about Charlie
Sheen? Um, you really don't hear much from him.
He's kind of quiet at this point. Um, and I think
that's mostly because of the drugs So I I don't
want to make fun of him for that because that's
uh That's not uh, just a personality thing. That's
uh, that's an addiction thing, which could be
kind of bad So I i'm gonna cut him some slack
because I think it's a drug thing Makes sense
This person doesn't super annoy me. I do find
that she's kind of full of herself, but what
have you and that's oprah Do not like Oprah I
Don't think she's really annoying, but I don't
care for yeah I mean when you have a magazine
called Oh after yourself, and you're on every
issue That's that's a little bit too much I agree
with that yeah, yeah How about Oh Simon Cowell
oh you're just gonna say him perfect you're not
a fan. No I can't stand the guy I don't like
I don't know I guess that goes for a lot of the
people on this list you don't really know until
you know them personally but it's we can kind
of just go on what we see in the tabloids and
everything but he just like he rubs me the wrong
way like the way he talks to people like I know
he's all like tough love and everything which
tough love is great but not to the expect. To
the extent where you're like, you know running
people down and stuff Yeah, yeah, I mean it is
kind of like a show I feel like a lot of that
is like an I don't know if it's an app per se
but it's certainly like I think that's what i've
got attention for American idol at first was
like him being this like tough british judge
and he's the things you can't believe he would
say but uh, I do feel like Well, he's not even
on that show anymore, right? No, he's not. I
wish they would just get rid of that show already
Yeah, we should have just like the most annoying
TV shows and that might be on it Do you think
he belongs on this list Greg or do you think
he's he's not? He's he's not significant anymore.
I don't think Okay, so we're just gonna kind
of narrow it down to four. So we have to Kanye
West and The kadashians anyone that you feel
that needs to be in the other two spots i'm thinking
like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber would fit
in the other two areas because they would Represent
that like young adolescent annoying person. I'd
definitely say Justin Bieber So definitely Justin
Bieber. Oh, yeah old people even get annoyed
by him and they're the most docile people on
the planet Just I remember like CNN was like
talking to a congressperson and broke away to
talk about how he got arrested which is not his
fault but Just like that's ridiculous So Chuck
do you agree that you would put Justin Bieber
on the on the Mount Rushmore? Yeah, yeah, he's
got my vote We can vote for Justin Bieber first
time ever and one more spot. So anyone else come
to mind? We have Miley Cyrus. We had Paris Hilton.
That's Bencher dude. We talked about My old boss
from oh We talked about Snooki or reality TV
stars we talked about Donald Trump We talked
about skip Bayless, but he's probably not famous
enough Andy dick. I don't know That's another
drug issue. I think on that one I'm thinking
like if we're gonna put anyone there probably
would be like Miley Cyrus because I think it
like her and Justin Bieber would be Like a good
pairing. It could be like him licking the side
of his face and his neck tattoo It's the king
and queen of the annoying Mount Rushmore. Really?
That's kind of it'd be like Mount It would be
it would be the Kings and the Queens Exactly.
You got Kanye and Kim and then you have Justin
Bieber and Miley Cyrus even though they're not
a couple but Does that seem good for you guys?
Yeah, I'm good with that. Yeah sounds good Alright,
so I'm sure there's a lot more annoying celebrities
out there We try to stay away from people like
politicians or those that are just screwed up
in the mind for depression or drug issues But
you know, it's hard to win the world of Hollywood
because that seems to be causing the major problems.
So Let us know the different annoying celebrities
that would make your own rash Mount Rushmore
and we're getting all the ways of contact with
With us at the end of the show But before we
go, we like to end each episode with a letter,
and Greg, this week you're up, so what do you
let everyone know what your letter's about? Yeah,
it's a somber one. I'm not gonna let you know
what it's about, but they'll definitely figure
it out part way through. Well, even after the
first sentence here, so... Captain's Log, Stardate,
September 8th, 1966. A show called Star Trek
appeared on TV screens across the nation. As
it turns out, it didn't appear on as many screens
as the higher -ups wished. It was cancelled after
one season, pairing and reruns is really where
the show gained its popularity. Then it was brought
back into production, where once again it was
dropped. In its short time, it made a huge impact,
spawning multiple movies and new iterations of
the show itself. I myself have watched all the
original series and the movies with the original
cast. For some reason, my favorite character
always seemed to be Spock. I don't know why.
He runs on logic and is as straight -laced as
they come, not usually what I go for when picking
favorites, i .e. Superman. But a favorite is
a favorite, sometimes there is no good reason.
As all of you probably know, being knowledgeable
geeks and all, the man who did the role best
has passed away. Leonard Dimmoy. He is another
great loss in the lexicon that has brought us
all so much because not only did he bring us
entertainment with Star Trek, but also gave us
an education with the series in search of. He
was an inspiration. Many notable scientists have
credited Nimoy as being their way into the world
of those beyond the metaphorical stars. So though
he may not have lived long, especially as all
of us would have liked, he will live long in
our minds, and we will all have prospered from
having him in our sci -fi lives. Live long and
prosper, Leonard. Greg. Very nice. Yeah, very
good, Greg. Very good. Very true. I mean, even
as someone who's not a Star Trek fan, you still
have to respect that of Leonard. I mean, the
guy... Had he was one of these dudes that had
that presence that made you like even in his
little brief cameos on The Simpsons, which are
all fantastic. It was they were just kind of
encapsulated. Just watch a unique figure He was
so quite sad in the world of eat them. All right,

are lots of ways to get in contact with us. You

from back in the day. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I watched
his yes, Scott vacula. Uh -huh
