Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trenda
Speaker 1: Yakarino Trenda Trenda that courtesy of Brian the Editor Return.
Speaker 2: Return.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. That was Elvia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an Elvia song that seems like it should
Speaker 1: have been an early Beatles song.
Speaker 2: I feel like, I mean what because they were both
Speaker 2: like probably stolen by a black artist.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And about the mail, I feel like they always like
Speaker 1: to do things about the mail anyways. I mean the
Speaker 1: big news is from the window to the walls, to
Speaker 1: the wall, till the sweat dripped down my ball walls walls. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were we were wrong. Uh, and we'll get into
Speaker 1: a little bit more why we're so surprised why we're
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised on tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 2: But you mean wrong that were like the Democrats instinct
Speaker 2: would to be do the thing that everyone's center.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: They seem to not be responding to the normal mainstream
Speaker 1: media narrative of like, well, so the thing that you
Speaker 1: need to do is be extremely apologetic for any progressive
Speaker 1: ideas that you've ever held, any progressive things you've ever said.
Speaker 1: You need to run away from that and then pretend
Speaker 1: like you never said it and then apologize and then
Speaker 1: nominate Mitt Romney for your presidential candidate. But instead they
Speaker 1: seem to be just like, no, we kind of like
Speaker 1: this guy's politics, and he seemed to be good at talking,
Speaker 1: so yeah.
Speaker 2: He's got a lot. Again, I was like, you know,
Speaker 2: you want to talk about Midwest cred this guy again.
Speaker 2: We talked about this in tomorrow's episode. A lot of
Speaker 2: people like, well, Mark Kelly's an astronaut. Tim Walls was
Speaker 2: a high school football coach. The team he coached had
Speaker 2: lost twenty seven executive games before he arrived. Then quote,
Speaker 2: we said, this is nonsense. Let's turn this thing around.
Speaker 2: Three years later, they were state champions and now a
Speaker 2: powerhouse school.
Speaker 3: Just like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was on like I think Pod Save
Speaker 2: America or something. People been posting this clip of him
Speaker 2: talking about, like, you know, just defensively, how to set
Speaker 2: his team up, like reading the guards and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, just if you Juxtaple, like have JD Vance
Speaker 2: even trying to talk about sports, I would probably die
Speaker 2: of discomfort even listening to Jdvans do that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: just like it just feels again, there's something very sincere
Speaker 2: about Tim Walls that I think appeals to a lot
Speaker 2: of people. And in an era of like, you know,
Speaker 2: like just very polished you're like, are you human or
Speaker 2: are you dancer? The era of politics, it's nice to
Speaker 2: have a guy who you know, is also providing feminine
Speaker 2: hygiene products in all school bathrooms, which is.
Speaker 3: All that like something to mock him about Miles tampon.
Speaker 2: Tim is also trending because the rights like, oh, dude, for.
Speaker 3: You launched Tim? What what for children?
Speaker 2: Cares about the kids? Tim? Disgusting?
Speaker 1: Wait, so he provided tampons for people, and they're making
Speaker 1: fun of him for doing that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for making it like a thing that was like
Speaker 2: mandatory in bathrooms. It's like, oh, this guy likes tampons.
Speaker 3: You're like, what, yeah, sure, yeah.
Speaker 2: He likes tampons, folks. What roast, dude, what else do
Speaker 2: you have?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean in an era where the you know,
Speaker 1: especially with the selection of JD Vans, the Republican side
Speaker 1: seems to be getting like obviously weirder, which it was
Speaker 1: the phrase that he came up with, but just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: insincerity is really the big JD Vance issue, right. He
Speaker 1: seems wildly insincere. He seems like he's just saying whatever
Speaker 1: will garner him more political power, and you just no,
Speaker 1: because you can like find him completely contradicting himself from
Speaker 1: like five years ago, like so reasonly exactly he.
Speaker 2: Sold his own brain out, folks. So this is what
Speaker 2: it's always like.
Speaker 1: It seems smart for them to like lean into authenticity
Speaker 1: here and not lean into, uh, trying to apologize and
Speaker 1: be centrist and pro Israel at a time when again
Speaker 1: that is wildly unpopular, like a lot of the things
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing like the Strategic Galaxy mind d NC
Speaker 1: people talking about like why they should have gone in
Speaker 1: a different direction. They're talking about apologizing or trying to
Speaker 1: tack away from things that are popular policies like abortion
Speaker 1: rights and opposing the genocide in Gaza.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, this is we'll see again, that's not
Speaker 2: the eff see if this is the administration's official platform,
Speaker 2: if they will speak on Gaza.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they didn't lean into the guy who was
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, well espawn record. Yeah, but protesters who protested
Speaker 1: what is was doing were white supremacist here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or like like KKK members. But yeah, I'm I'm
Speaker 2: excited that I've more for the fact that I've never
Speaker 2: seen like in an election year people be like, all right,
Speaker 2: this this looks like something that could maybe like appeal
Speaker 2: to people, like for mostly good reasons. Obviously it's still
Speaker 2: very much like the status quote ticket and that obviously
Speaker 2: like it. We're not things aren't going to change based
Speaker 2: on who the president is. But like you know, we
Speaker 2: talk a lot about it in tomorrow's episode, but I
Speaker 2: think it's been at least since twenty fifteen, where like
Speaker 2: most people were like looking at a Democratic ticket like, huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two in a row, like we've gotten two good
Speaker 1: decisions from the Democrats in a row.
Speaker 3: Yes, Pelosi this summer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Pelos is loose.
Speaker 2: She says she hasn't spoken to Biden in weeks.
Speaker 1: She pressured Biden out and then was also a Walls supporter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: allegedly behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: We shall see where this goes. But yeah, the vibe market,
Speaker 2: the stocks are up.
Speaker 3: Yes, the vibes are high.
Speaker 1: In addition to tampon Tim, the more formal annals of
Speaker 1: the conservative media have they're attacking him for being a
Speaker 1: socialist again, a thing that like I think is very
Speaker 1: popular with young people, probably still scary to the elderly.
Speaker 1: But this headline from the Wall Street Journal was pretty wild.
Speaker 1: Harris running Mate teases his own project twenty twenty five socialism.
Speaker 2: Because he wants he wants kids to have lunch for.
Speaker 3: Free at school.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I do not pay for a Wall Street Journal account. Yes,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what specifically they're saying there, but
Speaker 1: that's great.
Speaker 2: Well, by that, I mean like he's done a lot
Speaker 2: for like, you know, like voting rights, you know, where
Speaker 2: like kids get like registered or like they're they there's
Speaker 2: a list for mail in ballots and like there's sixteen
Speaker 2: and seventeen year olds could pre register to.
Speaker 1: Vote, you know, like those are like a communist you mean, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like a like a common social old social
Speaker 2: avoid Yeah.
Speaker 1: So he's stalin Minnesota, Stalin, all right, exactly.
Speaker 2: That'll stick, that'll stick, yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 1: Right, But back to trendy Yakarino X on Tuesday filed
Speaker 1: a federal anti trust lawsuit against Advertising Coalition, an average
Speaker 1: hausing industry coalition and its members including CBS, mars or Stead, Unilever,
Speaker 1: basically saying like we we sue you for not advertising
Speaker 1: with us.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. This is like a group that was created
Speaker 2: by the World Federation of Advertisers again for their like
Speaker 2: we need to set like a standard as advertisers around,
Speaker 2: like what's brand safe? Like what does brand safety mean
Speaker 2: to us? Is it stoking race riots in the UK
Speaker 2: and around the country with miss it rife and using
Speaker 2: a platform that's rife with misinformation like X? Is that
Speaker 2: safe for our brand? Do we want our soap ad
Speaker 2: to go up next to a video of a Nazi
Speaker 2: talking about just genociding people? Is that? Is that brand safe?
Speaker 2: Oh no, well hmm, then maybe this isn't the place
Speaker 2: for us. Which is really interesting, right because when when
Speaker 2: Elon Musk bought X his whole thing like it's free speech,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people like, well, there go your
Speaker 2: fucking ad dollars, you know, like a like fucking CVS
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be in there, like weird berther shit
Speaker 2: or whatever the fuck is like the conspiracy d jour
Speaker 2: on X. And I think it's important to remember how
Speaker 2: when like like early on, when people were like, dude,
Speaker 2: like remember like the anti semitism this like right after
Speaker 2: the anti semitism shit that was going on with him,
Speaker 2: he had to go have this like weird uh new
Speaker 2: York Times like roundtable discussion where he told the advertisers,
Speaker 2: He's like, they're not gonna strong arm me for like
Speaker 2: spreading misinformation. I just want to play this back because
Speaker 2: this is sort of what he said to the very
Speaker 2: people that are like, yeah, then we're not going to
Speaker 2: advertise on X. This is Elon. We talked to Bob Iden.
Speaker 3: Stop do you hope it don't advertise?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, you don't want them to advertise? No, what
Speaker 2: do you mean.
Speaker 3: If somebody going to try to blackmail me with advertising,
Speaker 3: blackmailing with money? Fuck yourself, Go fuck yourself.
Speaker 2: Turns out, Elon, you just fucked yourself with all this
Speaker 2: tough talk. So again, basically he's suing them to be like,
Speaker 2: they stopped advertising on us because we don't meet their
Speaker 2: standards for brand safety, and that's there. They're that's not right,
Speaker 2: that's not fair.
Speaker 3: No fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I object to this capitalistic interaction on the grounds
Speaker 1: of no fair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2: What's a free market if companies have the freedom to
Speaker 2: do whatever the fuck they want?
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a bullshit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's very Linda Yakarino has like this video
Speaker 2: or it's very uncomfortable. You can tell you've completely been
Speaker 2: consumed by like being part of Twitter for too long
Speaker 2: in this new phase of whatever late stage Twitter. But yeah,
Speaker 2: go ahead. I mean, like this follows up like too.
Speaker 2: Like a lot of conservatives have been like screaming about,
Speaker 2: like specifically conservative media like the Daily Wire, being like
Speaker 2: they're not buying ads on like our racist content, Like
Speaker 2: what is this?
Speaker 1: They used to Yeah, that's tough and we hate to
Speaker 1: see it. And you do hate to see it for.
Speaker 2: What is it? Is it freedom of speech or mandatory
Speaker 2: advertising on my caustic rhetoric?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should have to give me money. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I'm all about freedom. All right, let's uh, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and uh, the RFK Junior New Yorker article that he
Speaker 1: was trying to get ahead of did come out. I mean,
Speaker 1: the bear thing seems like he kind of like it.
Speaker 1: They it goes so quickly that they like they it's
Speaker 1: not even the focus of the article. It's a couple
Speaker 1: paragraphs where they're like, I'll just read it real quick.
Speaker 1: One day in the fall of twenty fourteen, Kennedy was
Speaker 1: driving to a Falcon reouting in upstate New York, when
Speaker 1: he passed a furry brown mound on the side of
Speaker 1: the road, pulled over discovered that it was the carcass
Speaker 1: of a black bear cub. Kennedy was tickled by the find.
Speaker 1: He loaded the dead bear into the rear hatch of
Speaker 1: his car and later showed it off to his friends.
Speaker 1: In a picture from that day, Kennedy is putting his
Speaker 1: fingers inside the bear's bloody mouth, a comical grimace across
Speaker 1: his face. When I asked Kennedy about the incident, he said,
Speaker 1: maybe that's where I got my brain worm. Yeah, Actually,
Speaker 1: people have gotten parasites for meeting bear meat. After the outing, Kennedy,
Speaker 1: who was then sixty and recently married to Haines, got
Speaker 1: an idea. He drove to Manhattan, and as darkness fell,
Speaker 1: entered Central Park with the bear and a bicycle. A
Speaker 1: person with knowledge of the event said that Kennedy thought
Speaker 1: it would be a funny to make it look as
Speaker 1: if the animal had been killed by an errant cyclist.
Speaker 1: The next day, the bear was discovered by two women
Speaker 1: walking their dogs, setting off an investigation by the NYPD.
Speaker 1: This is a highly unusual situation, A spokeswoman for the
Speaker 1: Central Park Conservancy told These Times it's awful, and a
Speaker 1: follow up piece for the Times, which was coincidentally written
Speaker 1: by Tatianas Schlosberg, one of JFK's granddaughters, a retired Bronx
Speaker 1: homicide commander, commented, people are crazy and that's the end
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then goes on to like describe all the other
Speaker 2: weird and fucked up shit about really things.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of his wives, one of his ex wives, killed
Speaker 1: herself after what her family alleges was like a lot
Speaker 1: of mental abuse, emotional abuse from him. They then sued
Speaker 1: to have her buried in Westchester, where the family was from,
Speaker 1: and Kennedy, like countersued to bury her on the Kennedy
Speaker 1: family plot on Cape Cod. And then he a month later,
Speaker 1: after waiting this right to be.
Speaker 2: Like your daughter, your daughter's body has to be buried
Speaker 2: where ice is mine.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, he exhumed the body and moved it to a
Speaker 1: separate part of the cemetery because he said it offered
Speaker 1: more space. And that was like a lot of his
Speaker 1: friends were like, that's wait, that's fucking evil, man.
Speaker 2: What's the there's another one where one at the uh,
Speaker 2: someone who was an editor at Rolling Stone. Uh uh.
Speaker 2: The magazine spoke to former Rolling Stone managing will editor
Speaker 2: Will Dana, who recounted an incident which Kennedy visited the
Speaker 2: magazine's office carrying a bucket with a little injured baby bird.
Speaker 2: So then we have our meeting and we do our thing,
Speaker 2: and suddenly he's like, I gotta go. Can you go
Speaker 2: get one of your interns, like take the bird to
Speaker 2: the vet, Dana recalls. While Kennedy claimed that dana story
Speaker 2: is a lie, Rolling Stone executive editor Sean Woods backed
Speaker 2: up as the anecdote and said, fact Jack true. He's
Speaker 2: got a whole fucking weird like this is like, was
Speaker 2: he fucking around with dead animals like as a kid,
Speaker 2: Because I think we might be this might just be
Speaker 2: the tip of the old fucking iceberg.
Speaker 1: He's been a real big animal guy for his whole life.
Speaker 1: But yeah, hanging out with dead ones. Yeah, like he's
Speaker 1: sticking his hand in the mouth of dead like roadkill
Speaker 1: on the side of the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's very strange.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have a whole episode about it in
Speaker 1: our upcoming Kennedy show. But he's it goes way darker
Speaker 1: and deeper and stranger.
Speaker 3: Than you would expect.
Speaker 1: Uh, our junior is a very weird guy.
Speaker 2: I mean, who would expect from a guy who saw
Speaker 2: his uncle and own dad get murked? Yeah, just probably
Speaker 2: And I don't know what kind of you know, what
Speaker 2: he did to sort of address that trauma, but I
Speaker 2: can it's like in a weird way. I'm like kind
Speaker 2: of makes like I understand if this motherfucker's been through
Speaker 2: a lot. But this is also to act like this
Speaker 2: any of this is like normal or like yeah, this
Speaker 2: guy could run the country, right, come on, now, come
Speaker 2: on now.
Speaker 1: All right, we have a new story in the if
Speaker 1: only someone had seen this coming department. Swimmers have been
Speaker 1: legit hospitalized after swimming in the Seine. Yeah that they're
Speaker 1: not saying this like a definitely led to b but
Speaker 1: the athlete, like two athletes who previously swam in the
Speaker 1: sin fell ill amid ongoing concern about high levels of
Speaker 1: bacteria in the water. And again they're not being like
Speaker 1: that was definitely caused by that. But the like the
Speaker 1: whole Belgium team withdrew from the triathletic I thought.
Speaker 2: The Belgian team when they're like our mixed triathlon team
Speaker 2: like has been vaporized because Claire Michelle, who was supposed
Speaker 2: to who did the swim last time, is in the hospital.
Speaker 2: I thought it was like e coli specifically, the thing
Speaker 2: that everyone was like, the E coli levels are pretty
Speaker 2: bad in this river, and then someone is hospitalized with
Speaker 2: like an e coli infection. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 2: guess they can try and dance around it. But I
Speaker 2: wonder what happened to the American dude who's like wiping
Speaker 2: his own bare ass and then eating burritos.
Speaker 1: If not washing his hands to prep for yeah, for
Speaker 1: the show. He's taking a victory lap over this shit.
Speaker 2: He's like they said, I was a fucking Weirdoh but
Speaker 2: I don't have E coli. I have another gastro intestinal
Speaker 2: thing that I think is happening completely unrelated. Don't want
Speaker 2: to talk about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: A Swiss athlete also had to pull out of the
Speaker 1: mixed relay triathlon due to a gastro intestinal infection, and
Speaker 1: he had swam in the sin during the men's triathlon
Speaker 1: on July thirtieth.
Speaker 2: I mean, is there something too, Because the other thing
Speaker 2: that we're hearing a lot more now is in the
Speaker 2: Olympic village that they were like worms in the food.
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, yeah, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this a British swimmer said, quote, the catering
Speaker 2: isn't good enough for the level of athletes that are
Speaker 2: expected to perform. We need to give the best we
Speaker 2: possibly can. They said. The food in Tokyo was incredible,
Speaker 2: but in Paris, he said, there was enough protein. Long
Speaker 2: queues waiting thirty minutes for food because there's no queuing system. Wait,
Speaker 2: where's the worm part? This is where it gets um.
Speaker 3: Oh like you said you want a protein man, yeah,
Speaker 3: said the.
Speaker 2: Narrative of sustainability has just been pushed on athletes. I
Speaker 2: want meat. I need to perform. That's what I eat
Speaker 2: at home, So why should I change. I like my fish,
Speaker 2: and people are finding worms in the fish. It's just
Speaker 2: not good at m.
Speaker 3: Worms in the fish is not good.
Speaker 2: Soccra Blue, y'all come on now, I know one thing
Speaker 2: athletes needed to suck oose oh my sock rate, and I.
Speaker 1: Will write your headlines for you the New York Post.
Speaker 2: Yeah, socc Ra poo about the Send river, about the food.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like I mean, anyone who's been around, anyone
Speaker 2: who's even like been like I'm gonna start lifting. It's like, dude,
Speaker 2: how many eggs are you eating? How much meat are
Speaker 2: you eating? Right? Then you then you have to extrapolate
Speaker 2: that to a bunch of high performance athletes and worm fish. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're just taking shots or whatever,
Speaker 2: but it's pretty it seems like a pretty consistent complaint
Speaker 2: that the lodgings are ship the food is shit. This
Speaker 2: is the river is full of shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, you go fishing miles, what do you
Speaker 1: what do you use? What's the bait? Worms? Okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: if some of them ended up in the meat, just.
Speaker 2: They ate the worm. That's how I got it on
Speaker 2: the hook for you to have your little protein.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, prepared to have protein.
Speaker 1: I went fishing when I found out that's what you
Speaker 1: guys wanted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I use dog turns. I put right on the
Speaker 2: end of the hook, and that's how I catch my fish.
Speaker 2: That's the bait I get.
Speaker 1: I would actually work in the scent. That's one of
Speaker 1: a key part of the ecosystem in the sun as
Speaker 1: dog turds. All right, well, those miles are some of
Speaker 1: the things that are trending on this Tuesday, August sixth.
Speaker 3: We are back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: With a whole last episode of the show until I know,
Speaker 1: do you believe it? Until then, be kind to each other,
Speaker 1: be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, get your flu shots,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye,
