Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendburh
Speaker 1: sir Geist courtesy of less than Zero on the discord.
Speaker 2: Do you Strenburgh.
Speaker 1: Would be a good aka for sir geist Geist.
Speaker 3: A lot, missus Geist, miss Geist from Clueless that was
Speaker 3: the single teacher they tried to set up.
Speaker 1: Please, mister Geist is my dad's name, call me I
Speaker 1: am Jack. That is Miles And uh, these are some
Speaker 1: of the things that are trending today. We're uh, we're
Speaker 1: not really going to talk about well, I guess we'll
Speaker 1: talk about some things that could be October surprise, surprises,
Speaker 1: if people, if Trump was a normal human being.
Speaker 2: Not already at the bottom of the barrel.
Speaker 1: Yes, but first, we of course want to open with
Speaker 1: Milton the hurricane. That is that we'll show a clip
Speaker 1: on tomorrow's episode about you know, the meteorologists being brought
Speaker 1: to tears with like how powerful this shit is. As
Speaker 1: he's breaking down, he also says it will be a
Speaker 1: three by the time it gets to Florida. But don't
Speaker 1: let that keep you from worrying, because there's just this
Speaker 1: massive storm surge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ten to fifteen feet of water, yeah, which is
Speaker 3: as the mayor of Tampus said, unsurvivable, and like, if
Speaker 3: you look at just sort of the news stories, there's
Speaker 3: plenty of people who are like talking about what their
Speaker 3: plans are to leave, and there's also a I mean
Speaker 3: not as much talk, but there's definitely you're hearing more
Speaker 3: and more stories of people who just do not have
Speaker 3: the means to evacuate. And I think that's probably another
Speaker 3: thing that meteorologist was connecting because he was also thinking
Speaker 3: of that that Category five is definitely touching the Yucatan
Speaker 3: Peninsula of Mexico, and that's going to also cause on
Speaker 3: just fathomable destruction and who knows, and you know that
Speaker 3: potentially the loss of life. And yeah, now we're looking
Speaker 3: at like the situation in Florida, where you know, while
Speaker 3: there are people who have been able to evacuate and
Speaker 3: prepare their homes, there are many millions who are not.
Speaker 3: So this I just, yeah, I hope this outcome is
Speaker 3: not as terrible as a lot of the experts are forecasting.
Speaker 3: But it seems like this is definitely something that should
Speaker 3: be taken very seriously. So I hope people who are
Speaker 3: living in that path, I hope you're able to get
Speaker 3: safe as best as you can.
Speaker 1: Also feels like maybe this would be a good service
Speaker 1: that the government would provide. Yeah, yeah, their inability to
Speaker 1: get fossil fuel companies to stop, you know, throwing hurling
Speaker 1: unsurvivable hurricanes at human beings and maybe something that something
Speaker 1: is wrong, A little job creating opportunity would be to
Speaker 1: you know, figure out a way to get people the
Speaker 1: fuck out of there who don't have the means to
Speaker 1: do that when there is an unsurvivable hurricane bearing down
Speaker 1: on them. Maybe you know, use some of those buses
Speaker 1: that they were using to bust migrants to New York
Speaker 1: and instead use those to evacuate people from the path
Speaker 1: of again, what is being described as literally unsurvivable hurricanes.
Speaker 1: Shout out to super producer Justin for pointing out that
Speaker 1: they do have busses, Yeah, that they used to bust
Speaker 1: migrants for its publicity stunts.
Speaker 3: Right right, exactly, But yeah, this is it's god more
Speaker 3: chaos happening. And when we talk about how this is
Speaker 3: obviously being politicized, weaponized by the right in just the
Speaker 3: most obscene ways. But yeah, that is that is obviously
Speaker 3: the biggest story I think right now.
Speaker 1: So in not the biggest story, right now news e
Speaker 1: the Spirit Halloweens are now going to be taken over
Speaker 1: by Spirit Christmases. So Spirit Halloween, famous for taking over
Speaker 1: the empty shells of shuttered brick and mortar businesses and
Speaker 1: turning them into Halloween fun for a couple months at
Speaker 1: a time, they're now being like, what if the fun
Speaker 1: didn't have to stop? Huh?
Speaker 2: So why is it there Spirit Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that probably seems I get it. You can't, you can't.
Speaker 3: Just that's a big that's a big swing to be like,
Speaker 3: get your gords here that light up and talk like pilgrims.
Speaker 1: Just plastic gourds galore.
Speaker 3: Oh look we have we have whimsical settler colonial themed
Speaker 3: trinkets for your dining table.
Speaker 1: But I mean, seasonal Christmas stores are a thing. It
Speaker 1: does make sense that they would get in the game.
Speaker 1: They have unveiled the sign, the equally impressive Spirit Christmas sign, because,
Speaker 1: as we know, Spirit Halloween just like an orange, flappy
Speaker 1: plastic banner that they just like put up on the
Speaker 1: side of buildings. Now we've got a blue flappy banner
Speaker 1: with red writing and a winky sandy claws. Wow wow,
Speaker 1: hands up as if to say, I am not touching
Speaker 1: any children? What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Wiggles style? How the Wiggles Allegedly the Wiggles like iconic
Speaker 1: gesture with thumbs up, and it was rumored that they
Speaker 1: incorporated that to subtly unconsciously send the message to parents
Speaker 1: like hey, we're our hands are right here, don't worry
Speaker 1: about us. But anyways, so what will spirit Christmas look like?
Speaker 1: It will be a bunch of Christmas bullshit. It sounds
Speaker 1: like with an opportunity to get your picture taken with
Speaker 1: Santa Claus.
Speaker 2: The kids there, it is there, it is.
Speaker 3: Does any kid like taking a picture with fucking sand
Speaker 3: into all? I used to work at the mall, like
Speaker 3: in college, and I remember whenever that shit showed up,
Speaker 3: it was like people dragging their kids and like maybe
Speaker 3: like then ironic teenagers.
Speaker 2: Being like yo, suit on Soonder's lap and ask them
Speaker 2: for weed. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I will say to a certain kid who believes in
Speaker 1: Santa Claus is very exciting. I would also say that
Speaker 1: for the propaganda wing of the keep the Santa Claus uh,
Speaker 1: children who are listening to this episode, now is the
Speaker 1: time we didn't tell you before we started swearing to
Speaker 1: stop listening. Yeah, but any children who are still listening
Speaker 1: please skip ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah you don't want to fuck around and find out
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So any you know that there's there's a whole
Speaker 1: propaganda wing that is out here trying to get kids
Speaker 1: to believe, and the the mall Santa clauses are real
Speaker 1: hit and miss in that direction. Yeah, because because like
Speaker 1: the I think that was the first place where I
Speaker 1: picked up a clue. I was like, wait, there's Santa's helpers.
Speaker 1: Why what is that?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: Why are they dressed as him? Then? Like that's weird.
Speaker 1: Why are they tricking us? Why the obfuscation? Mom?
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, it's it's all bullshit. You know. I'm glad
Speaker 2: I found out quick.
Speaker 1: Wait you just said that, Like you just figured that out?
Speaker 1: Just now?
Speaker 2: I did. I did. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie.
Speaker 1: And I know that and I knew that.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm all fucked up now I just found out
Speaker 3: Santa's bullshit.
Speaker 1: I will say that this would be a better idea
Speaker 1: if they somehow were able to pull it together and
Speaker 1: invent toy stores again, right for you know, if like
Speaker 1: this was a place because because the main thing with
Speaker 1: Spirit Halloween. It's not just that you can get Halloween
Speaker 1: decorations there. You can get the main thing that everybody's
Speaker 1: looking for for Halloween, which is costumes. The main thing
Speaker 1: the people are looking for around the holidays as gifts.
Speaker 1: If they had like good gifts, that would be something
Speaker 1: novel idea. They might even be worthy of getting purchased
Speaker 1: and turned into an empty husk buy private equity if
Speaker 1: they chilled an idea like that off full circle. But anyways,
Speaker 1: they're soft launching it across ten stores in the Northeast.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, do you plan on traveling to
Speaker 1: the Northeast to experience them?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean obviously because I need to see with
Speaker 3: my own eyes at Santa is that real? But well, yeah,
Speaker 3: but you know, like I said, I'll find a good
Speaker 3: time to go.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely I'm going to bok my tickets right now.
Speaker 3: I just need to figure out what city we'll have
Speaker 3: the best one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just an interesting So because TikTok is owned in China,
Speaker 1: the government is admitting like that it is bad for
Speaker 1: you and addictive and bad for the well being of children.
Speaker 1: Fair they kind of They came out after instam after Instagram,
Speaker 1: but now they're coming after TikTok. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: legal challenges going around, right, but I don't know, it
Speaker 1: feels like a fraught time to be raising children.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean it's like anything too. It's the same thing
Speaker 3: like with Instagram. It's like, yeah, these are designed to
Speaker 3: keep kids scrolling infinitely and probably ingesting messages that might
Speaker 3: be detrimental to their feelings of self worth potentially maybe
Speaker 3: get them to start smoking cigarettes or doing galaxy gas
Speaker 3: or other shit like that.
Speaker 1: So it is really wild to see just you know,
Speaker 1: kids getting exposed to like a thing and then that's
Speaker 1: all they can, like an addictive piece of media, and
Speaker 1: then that's all they want to ask about it. And
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you literally robbed this child of free will,
Speaker 1: like they don't have free will like that that's what
Speaker 1: addiction is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so cool. Thanks for that.
Speaker 1: Social media MF Doom is.
Speaker 3: Try yeah baby, For all my Doom fans out there,
Speaker 3: it's trending because, like you know, with every tent pole
Speaker 3: movie comes out, the theaters are like, hey man, we've
Speaker 3: got a bucket and this one you might not want
Speaker 3: to fuck. You might want to put it on your
Speaker 3: shelf if you're a hip hop band. Because a Gladiator
Speaker 3: two buckets were revealed.
Speaker 2: And it's the MF.
Speaker 3: Doom mask because so he started off wearing like a
Speaker 3: doctor Doom mask and then he switched it up to
Speaker 3: the mask from Gladiator.
Speaker 2: So this is quite literally, this is like, this is
Speaker 2: an MF.
Speaker 1: Doom shit. I didn't realize that that's what it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he switched it up.
Speaker 3: So that's I think because that was like a sort
Speaker 3: of readily available mask you could buy that was being
Speaker 3: mass produced because he wasn't like forging it out of
Speaker 3: steel like in the fucking you know, uh, in his
Speaker 3: own ironsmithing works.
Speaker 1: Now we're all having our illusions burst, aren't we.
Speaker 3: I pictured him with an anvil and hammer for forging
Speaker 3: it in this in the Fires of mordor the picture
Speaker 3: of the match, like it looks as hell.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how it's a popcorn bucket, do you see?
Speaker 1: Do you see what I mean? Like the part that
Speaker 1: goes over the eyes and then the part that goes
Speaker 1: over the crown of the head, or how far like
Speaker 1: it feels like the top would need to be retractable.
Speaker 3: In some Yeah, so I think it's removable or it
Speaker 3: has like a hinge. Clearly, Okay, that's the only.
Speaker 1: Way I must have a hinge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have to pop that thing off
Speaker 3: like the monkey brains they were serving at Poundcock Palace
Speaker 3: in Indiana.
Speaker 1: Jumpes, that's right. And you also get one. You get
Speaker 1: a little guy for your soa aka dog, you know,
Speaker 1: and then wow, wow, m F dog work we'll work
Speaker 1: shop it. Yeah, all right, Well we're gonna take a
Speaker 1: quick break workshop it and we'll be right back and
Speaker 1: we're back. Uh and didn't do it workshopping then m
Speaker 1: F dog maybe yeah, yeah, m F Doug.
Speaker 2: Let's just let's can we just get to Trump's racism already?
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Yeah, so we're gonna dig in a
Speaker 1: little bit more on the history of the phrase October surprise,
Speaker 1: like and what the mainstream media means by October surprise. Uh.
Speaker 1: There's a probably like four stories today alone about Donald
Speaker 1: Trump that feel like they would qualify at any other
Speaker 1: time with any other presidential candidate as October surprises. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but why don't you kick us off, Miles with Trump
Speaker 1: espousing race science.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, uh, look, racism has always been a focal
Speaker 3: point of this career.
Speaker 2: And I'm always like.
Speaker 3: How do you get like, what's the bottom what's the
Speaker 3: floor for the ship?
Speaker 2: That you can say?
Speaker 3: Because but and he always impresses, uh, you know, with
Speaker 3: just how fucking depraved his comments could be. So he
Speaker 3: was on Hugh Hewitt's podcast and Hewitt asks him, you know,
Speaker 3: about the economics of Kamala Harris's proposed housing subsidies, and
Speaker 3: you know, like a policy question, and Donald Trump manages
Speaker 3: to turn it into just a nice fun like Ted
Speaker 3: talk on eugenics.
Speaker 4: When you look at the things that she proposes, they're
Speaker 4: so far off. She has no clue. How about allowing
Speaker 4: people to come.
Speaker 2: To an open border, Oh not about housing.
Speaker 4: Thousand of which were murderers, many of them murdered far
Speaker 4: more than one person, and they are now happily living
Speaker 4: in the United States. You know, now, a murderer. I
Speaker 4: believe this, it's in their jens. And wee a lot
Speaker 4: of bad jeens in our country right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, We've got a lot of bad genes.
Speaker 3: And we're not talking about Jordash for the people in
Speaker 3: the back and we're gun no, no. And also just
Speaker 3: the ideas like and they've and they've killed more than
Speaker 3: one person. These people, these murders, they're living in our country.
Speaker 3: I'm like, police, police or who oh the mic oh
Speaker 3: oh so sure. So the guy who sleeps with mine
Speaker 3: camp under his pillow is out here just throwing out
Speaker 3: fucking jeans. Yeah, And I'm being like, it's just getting
Speaker 3: like obviously the for the last three months, it's just
Speaker 3: been getting.
Speaker 2: Worse and worse and worse and worse.
Speaker 3: And you know, there's a lot of talk about how
Speaker 3: he dropped out of the sixty minutes interview that Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris did and how that's been a tradition for like
Speaker 3: over five days ever now, yeah, exactly, And I'm like, oh, like,
Speaker 3: is this because like low key they are like, damn bro,
Speaker 3: his brain is a play doo uh And I don't
Speaker 3: know if we can trust him just to sit across
Speaker 3: from someone who's gonna ask questions and he's going to
Speaker 3: turn some You can just picture, right, He's being asked
Speaker 3: a question about abortion and he somehow just turns it
Speaker 3: into a lecture about like phrenology, how like the ancient
Speaker 3: Aztecs used to eat people And You're like, what.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, the fuck? So that is door number one.
Speaker 2: Okay, door number two.
Speaker 1: So a few months ago, Jared Kushner openly admitted to
Speaker 1: rooting for Israel to ethnically cleanse Gaza in order to
Speaker 1: open up the quote very valuable potential of its quote
Speaker 1: waterfront property. And now Trump is similarly signaling that he
Speaker 1: would also like to see the land stolen developed and
Speaker 1: turned into a tourist destination that would be quote better
Speaker 1: than Monaco. So okay, thing that he said like out loud,
Speaker 1: not yeah, he said a secret tape twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, this is again.
Speaker 3: This was also from that Hugh Hewett and Hugh Hewitt
Speaker 3: he said, shit, it could be.
Speaker 2: Better than Monaco.
Speaker 3: It has the best location in the Middle East, the
Speaker 3: best water, the best everything it's got. It is the best.
Speaker 3: I've said it for years. I've been there, and it's rough.
Speaker 3: It's a rough place. Before all of the attacks and
Speaker 3: before the back and forth. What's happened over the line
Speaker 3: couple of your back and just stop talking about anything,
Speaker 3: you fuck. So, yeah, that's an interesting one too, that
Speaker 3: he's completely sort of underlying, underlining the idea that this
Speaker 3: is a full on displacement of Palestinian people. Ethnically cleanse
Speaker 3: the region.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you saically cleanse I say real estate opportunity,
Speaker 1: a real estate investment.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And of course there's no record he's ever been to Gaza,
Speaker 1: because he definitely hasn't been to Gaza.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so just brain Plato saying things that if
Speaker 1: Lex Luthor said them in a like hard R rated
Speaker 1: Superman movie, you'd be like, that feels a little much.
Speaker 3: He's like, I've been to Palestine. It's really wild. It's
Speaker 3: actually in Texas. People don't know this, and you're like, oh, fuck, buddy.
Speaker 1: He also, on that subject, bopped along to YMCA at
Speaker 1: an October seventh attack remembrance event. They played, you know,
Speaker 1: as they do at any Trump event. They played YMCA
Speaker 1: and he just danced and.
Speaker 3: Don't want a song one song, I mean, skates to
Speaker 3: one song on one song, only one song.
Speaker 1: And then yeah he doesn't. You know you saw how
Speaker 1: long his moment of silence for his own attempted assassination lasted.
Speaker 1: Think about how little he gives a shit about anybody else.
Speaker 1: And then finally, there's a new Bob Woodward book coming
Speaker 1: out that is mainly about like the Biden administration's failures
Speaker 1: with Gaza and Ukraine and Afghanistan. But he has some
Speaker 1: anecdotes in there about Trump and Putin that are I
Speaker 1: don't know, like one of the things people talk about
Speaker 1: with October surprises, like it should be like, if it's
Speaker 1: going to be impactful, it would go in the same
Speaker 1: direction as concerns people already have about this person. And
Speaker 1: I do think like his coziness slash fondness slash horniness
Speaker 1: for Vladimir Putin would like kind of concern everybody. But
Speaker 1: so this anecdote is interesting. So Trump sent Putin a
Speaker 1: bunch of COVID tests back at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: pandemic when COVID tests were in short supply like globally,
Speaker 1: and he had his own private stash and sent them
Speaker 1: to Vladimir Putin like for his personal use because he
Speaker 1: was very scared. He's like a drumphobe, just like Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and Putin literally had to be like thank you, but
Speaker 1: please don't tell anybody because they'll know something's going on
Speaker 1: between us, right yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Ooh, where'd you get these? Nowhere are those American COVID tests?
Speaker 3: Buddy? No, no, no, they fucking I found them or
Speaker 3: some shit.
Speaker 1: Why did they have a cartoon of a shirtless rippling
Speaker 1: Donald Trump on all the.
Speaker 2: All the boxes look like they have like self tanner,
Speaker 2: like all the like smudged all over them, like someone
Speaker 2: just dirtied them. What they're well, all right fine.
Speaker 1: The book also suggests he had up to seven private
Speaker 1: calls with Putin at mar A Lago.
Speaker 2: After he left office, right, yeah, after he left office.
Speaker 1: This is like when he's in mar A Lago and
Speaker 1: the source like was aware of these and Trump actually
Speaker 1: like cleared to the room. So I don't know, that's
Speaker 1: just where keeping in mind that this motherfucker liked to
Speaker 1: call like she and Kim Jong un on speaker to
Speaker 1: like impress dinner guests at mar A Lago. In this case,
Speaker 1: he's calling and being like, clear of the room. Don't
Speaker 1: get everybody the fuck out of here. I gotta call
Speaker 1: my boy. Uh right, So you want to hear something cool?
Speaker 2: Watch this.
Speaker 3: You never guess who's going to answer this FaceTime call.
Speaker 3: Look look, look, look, look right, hey, it's me.
Speaker 4: Uh oh.
Speaker 3: And also we've got even on top of that. Then
Speaker 3: another thing came out about Brett Kavanaugh, where I think
Speaker 3: it was in the Guardian reporting that they looked at
Speaker 3: that FBI investigation, it really wasn't an investigation. Basically, Trump's
Speaker 3: White House said, do not fucking bring anything to light.
Speaker 3: You can pretend you're investigating, but you better act like
Speaker 3: you didn't see a fucking thing. So more fucking nonsense.
Speaker 3: But again, uh, this guy's that's the thing. It's like,
Speaker 3: to any reasonable person, you're like, this guy's a fucking
Speaker 3: this is this is a waste of all everything, my energy,
Speaker 3: my attention. So it really I don't know how it's
Speaker 3: going to move the needle. And again, I don't know
Speaker 3: what the next thing. He already said people were gonna come,
Speaker 3: like immigrants are gonna come into your home and like
Speaker 3: murder you and eat your pets. And now he's doing eugenics.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the next ring of hell below
Speaker 3: all this is like, it might be fantastic.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: If you have seen Agatha all along, these migrants will
Speaker 3: change your whole reality and you think you'll be in
Speaker 3: a procedural drama and you won't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll be the victim.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. He'll find it. He's still digging. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: those are some of the things that are trending on
Speaker 1: this Tuesday, October eighth. We are back tomorrow with the
Speaker 1: whole last episode of the show. If you're in Florida
Speaker 1: or in anywhere near in the path of the hurricane,
Speaker 1: please stay safe 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 y'all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye,
