Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: Trending Sixth Day of sept Trender.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 1: That's courtesy of Nicole Adrian. Remember remember the trending sixth
Speaker 1: day of sept Trender as the saying doesn't go what
Speaker 1: is the day? Remember?
Speaker 3: Remember the November November? Yeah, all right, remember remember the Titans.
Speaker 1: I think that's how it goes.
Speaker 3: Remember remember the Titans the fifth of November.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the fish. My name is Jack, that is Miles,
Speaker 1: and this is a podcast where we remember the Titans. Yes, always,
Speaker 1: all right, these are some things that are trending. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump appears to have called for the assassination of General
Speaker 1: Mark Milli Mark Milly, Mark Milly, Mark Milly Millie in.
Speaker 2: New York I Mark Milli rock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hello, that's all all based on him on Mark Millie,
Speaker 1: A huge a lot of fans out there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he was like, you know that he should
Speaker 1: be charged with whatever and treason, I think reason and executed. So,
Speaker 1: I mean we've called him a fascist because he had
Speaker 1: fascist leanings and tendencies instead stuff like I could shoot
Speaker 1: someone in the middle of the street and he would
Speaker 1: do anything. But he's all about this ship. Now he's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like assassinating military leaders, which you know, as we've said before,
Speaker 1: I feel like we should believe people when they tell
Speaker 1: us who they are. We should you know, listen to
Speaker 1: them and uh yeah, not be like, well he doesn't.
Speaker 1: Does he really mean that though? I mean he just he.
Speaker 3: Recently just at this point he's in that phase of
Speaker 3: his ship where anyone who disagrees with him now has
Speaker 3: to die. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like he's
Speaker 3: like the last Dawn or some shit. He's like they
Speaker 3: fucking Christ done. Yeah you're dead.
Speaker 2: You haven't. Who said Mitch McConnell had a fucking death wish?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mitch McConnell did. Like last year he supported like
Speaker 1: some bipartisan legislation that went against his wishes, and he
Speaker 1: tweeted or truth social uh that McConnell has a death wish, uh,
Speaker 1: which you know. And then he's of course been tweeting
Speaker 1: videos in which he beats the shit out of political
Speaker 1: opponents via the magic of jib jab, yes his favorite. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's been doing that for years. So it just
Speaker 1: it all. It doesn't feel like he's getting less violent,
Speaker 1: less likely to start killing people.
Speaker 2: Did you see this ship too, where he said he
Speaker 2: bought a glock.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, so what was that. I've been seeing headlines,
Speaker 1: but I haven't, like dove in.
Speaker 3: J Yeah, he like he's saying, he's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I think he's at a gun store and he's like
Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, I'd like to buy that. But then
Speaker 3: like they're like, no, no, no, he didn't. He didn't
Speaker 3: do that because that might be legally sticky for him.
Speaker 3: He's like, I want to buy one. Isn't a glock
Speaker 3: a great gun? And again it would have been illegal
Speaker 3: because our man is under indictment in four criminal cases.
Speaker 2: So they're like.
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, shit, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: No, could you imagine that?
Speaker 3: Like okay, well this dude literally just bought a glock
Speaker 3: for clout and now okay that're doing the same thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So uh. There's also this opinion piece in I
Speaker 1: think it's The Atlantic where they're like, what if the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court went and did something to totally redeem it? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: so which would be what so basically say all right,
Speaker 1: you can't he can't be you can't run for president again? Right, Like,
Speaker 1: on the one hand, you know that there does seem
Speaker 1: to be some differences of opinion in the legal community
Speaker 1: about whether there's like legal standing for preventing him from
Speaker 1: doing that shit. On the other there's disagreement about all
Speaker 1: the shit. There's disagreement about Citizens United that that didn't
Speaker 1: seem like it should have been legally possible before they
Speaker 1: decided to do that. So it's all just ideology filtered
Speaker 1: through a bunch of high minded rhetoric and they do. So.
Speaker 1: The thing that like got my mind like focused on
Speaker 1: this and you know, probably hoping uselessly around this is
Speaker 1: just they do seem to have a pattern for doing
Speaker 1: the one for us, one for them type thing. They
Speaker 1: did seem to be not on board with Trump overthrowing
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election, and and so it, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue that he's not going to do
Speaker 1: that exact same shit again this time, and in which case,
Speaker 1: like it's going to subvert democracy, which seems to be
Speaker 1: something that they claim to care about. Like it it
Speaker 1: does almost feel like when you think about the fact
Speaker 1: that they have the power to do this, it's almost
Speaker 1: like wild that they wouldn't do it. It's almost like
Speaker 1: they're doing it in exchange for him having put them
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court, because it doesn't doesn't really make
Speaker 1: sense to just be like, you know, they they agree
Speaker 1: that what he did was just try and seed some
Speaker 1: lies and overthrow the twenty twenty election. So, you know,
Speaker 1: best case scenario, he's going to do that shit again,
Speaker 1: why would we let him? And like, I guess the
Speaker 1: idea is, well, it's a slippery slope, the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: intervening in a election. You know, you let the voters decide.
Speaker 1: But it like that this is a question of like
Speaker 1: any anybody who was viewing this rationally sees that this
Speaker 1: is somebody who is incapable of letting the voters decide,
Speaker 1: So why not step in and just do the thing
Speaker 1: that everybody agrees would be the best thing for the
Speaker 1: long term health of I don't know if everybody agrees
Speaker 1: it's the best thing for the long term health of democracy,
Speaker 1: but it does feel like it would be would be
Speaker 1: in their best interests, would be in the best interest
Speaker 1: of the of the country. I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people would be like, but what about
Speaker 1: you know, then next time it'll be like Bernie Sander
Speaker 1: beating Hillary and they come in and intervene on behalf
Speaker 1: of the corporations in Hillary Bernie Bernie Sander, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: remember that guy. But I like that the case is
Speaker 1: so that ignores how strong the case is. That like
Speaker 1: he already did try to subvert an election and he
Speaker 1: is going to do it again.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the thing, like you'd hope that
Speaker 3: the capitalists out there are like, man, this could fuck
Speaker 3: my money up, you know what I mean, like if
Speaker 3: this if the country's in total disarray, and I and
Speaker 3: you kind of see that because there are some donors
Speaker 3: who are like just a little bit like I don't
Speaker 3: fucking know, man, Like there was.
Speaker 2: That push like can we get somebody else? And now
Speaker 2: they're like, fuck it.
Speaker 3: I guess maybe I'll just build three more bunkers to
Speaker 3: protect myself when shit really starts to fall apart. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe they will do the right thing, Spike Lee,
Speaker 3: But I don't quite know. I mean, right now, everyone's
Speaker 3: like fucking Clarence Thomas needs to fucking recuse himself from
Speaker 3: like the consumer protection like the CPFB cases and stuff.
Speaker 2: But who fucking knows, you know, who fucking knows with these.
Speaker 1: People, But like that, yeah, I mean, people would be
Speaker 1: up in arms of course, but like this, this is
Speaker 1: an avowedly right wing institution right now, the Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: So it's not like, you know, the a liberal court
Speaker 1: is coming in and it would be making this decision.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean I'm sure like maybe Alito is like, damn,
Speaker 3: maybe it'll.
Speaker 2: Take some fucking heat off.
Speaker 1: They won't.
Speaker 3: They won't start asking where, like what kind of stuff
Speaker 3: I've been doing with the Koch brothers.
Speaker 1: But maybe some of those pictures are gnarly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wearing ken Burn's wig. I took it off and
Speaker 3: while he was sleeping.
Speaker 1: Uh. The EU has some new laws around disinformation that
Speaker 1: could mean a potential band for Twitter. Uh formerly X
Speaker 1: thank you. Uh, that's what we're going with, Uh, Facebook, Google, TikTok,
Speaker 1: Microsoft all, Uh, we're analyzed and have all signed on
Speaker 1: to the EU's Code of Practice. But Twitter was analyzed
Speaker 1: and refused to participate and therefore didn't submit information on
Speaker 1: areas such as fact checking. So it's yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean for good reason, because even without their help
Speaker 3: or their data, they're like, Okay, so Twitter has the
Speaker 3: They are the worst worst offender in terms of the
Speaker 3: ratio of disinformation.
Speaker 2: Posts, followed by Facebook.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and I think, and a lot of that
Speaker 3: is them looking at you know, these you know, upcoming
Speaker 3: elections that are happening around Europe and the proliferation of
Speaker 3: disinformation bots and shit like that, and yeah, they're like, nah,
Speaker 3: we will ban you, as they said, They're like, we
Speaker 3: will be watching you, so we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 2: What happens there.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that will matter to Elon Musk
Speaker 3: because I feel like by the time he starts charging
Speaker 3: people to use that shit, it'll probably turn into a
Speaker 3: fucking ghost down.
Speaker 1: Yeah. One weird like just kind of thing that never
Speaker 1: got brought up in air AI episodes but is interesting.
Speaker 1: Is like that. So the head of AI stuff for
Speaker 1: Meta is kind of the person who's like a main
Speaker 1: voice in the conversation who seems the most kind of
Speaker 1: rational and the least like what we're all fucked like
Speaker 1: using the doomerism to hype up the stock and stuff
Speaker 1: and what. One of the things he said is that
Speaker 1: like they've been using AI to help fight disinformation like
Speaker 1: in the past years. I don't know how true that is,
Speaker 1: but it's you know, Elon, it seems like he's using
Speaker 1: for the for the direct opposite right of just tour.
Speaker 1: He's just letting the AI bots run free.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm considering like how we're always like wait,
Speaker 3: why is he like always using like putin talking points
Speaker 3: in terms of like the Ukrainian invasion. I'm sure he's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 3: I'll let y'all have that pig pen if you want
Speaker 3: do whatever they'll want in there, you know.
Speaker 1: Get dirty. Yeah, all right, Uh, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll come back. And we're back and Coke,
Speaker 1: why three thousand this feels like some Pepsi ship. I
Speaker 1: gotta say, Coke, Yeah, you know you remember that, remember
Speaker 1: that logo redesign of Pepsi where they were like future
Speaker 1: millennium moving orbiting around one another, and it alligned them
Speaker 1: just like fucking up the Pepsi logo a little bit.
Speaker 1: So Coke had an AI design.
Speaker 3: This is what everyone's response should be when we're being like,
Speaker 3: here's an AI generated fucking consumer flavor, no fuck out
Speaker 3: of here.
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, the tagline is futuristic flavored, and so people
Speaker 1: anyone expecting bold flavors of a prosperous tomorrow. According to
Speaker 1: this review, they just went in and for on Gizmoto,
Speaker 1: they were unkind to coke hy three thousand. They said,
Speaker 1: the first time the bubbling liquid hits your tongue, you
Speaker 1: expect the same acidic, carbonated sensation as a regular coke.
Speaker 1: But the drink slithers to the back of the mouth
Speaker 1: and sits there, broiling with a numb triviality across your
Speaker 1: taste buds. And then the flavor is gone, leaving you
Speaker 1: with a vague aftertaste of berries and sugar.
Speaker 2: Oh Jesus.
Speaker 1: Alien symbiot, Yeah right shither the back of my mouth?
Speaker 2: Is this that scene in the Matrix where he puts
Speaker 2: that thing in his navel and.
Speaker 1: Shit, yeah, and he's oh no, no, It's like.
Speaker 2: It's gonna sit back there with broiling with a numb dude,
Speaker 2: broiling with a numb triviality across your taste buds. That's
Speaker 2: fucking poetry right there.
Speaker 1: Just burns your fucking taste buds.
Speaker 3: Also, what the fuck is this? Why three coke three thousand? Like,
Speaker 3: and he is the only Atlanta based three thousand entity coke?
Speaker 1: You know, three stacks?
Speaker 2: Could you imagine?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Coke dre Benjamin, Wait, what all right?
Speaker 1: We have a new flavor. You guys weren't fucking with
Speaker 1: that one. This one is Coke Drey Benjamin Dungeon family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, there is another case of a flight
Speaker 1: attendant who watched Sound of Freedom one too many times.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: An American Airlines flight attendant reported a black father to
Speaker 1: the police because his seven year old, who is pretty shy,
Speaker 1: as seven year olds often are, I didn't respond when
Speaker 1: a flight attendant tried to engage him in conversation and
Speaker 1: ask him his name. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Then, by the way, these are multi racial kids.
Speaker 3: That's why I think the person was like, this child
Speaker 3: is not a full black person, therefore they may be
Speaker 3: a trafficking victim.
Speaker 2: And then so they got to they were flying from
Speaker 2: atlantat Lax.
Speaker 3: They get to Lax and met by the jetway with
Speaker 3: an American Airlines employee and the police and shout out
Speaker 3: to all marginalized people who are having to be confronted
Speaker 3: with the ugliness of our society.
Speaker 2: And they still have.
Speaker 3: To be like, I'm not about to fucking wild out.
Speaker 3: This is such bullshit. But again he's like, I played
Speaker 3: it very calm because I didn't want to do that
Speaker 3: kind of shit in front of my kids.
Speaker 1: They said.
Speaker 3: The flight attendant called ahead with some sort of concern.
Speaker 3: He said that perhaps my mixed children weren't my children
Speaker 3: because they were unresponsive, and they said that interaction was
Speaker 3: like thirty seconds. And apparently airlines do train their like
Speaker 3: frontline staff, like the staff that interacts with passengers, to
Speaker 3: be able to know about kind of shit like this.
Speaker 1: But I feel like.
Speaker 3: We're seeing this a lot now with like it's like
Speaker 3: these are mixed race kids and that kids shy therefore,
Speaker 3: which I don't know, like that as I travel, I'm
Speaker 3: I'm I'm lucky. Like recently, I was traveling with her majesty,
Speaker 3: so I was like me plus her equals this child, right.
Speaker 2: And people like right, right, right, But again, who knows
Speaker 2: what will happen when I travel solo?
Speaker 3: Because shit, that was my experience growing up too, except
Speaker 3: there wasn't the sound of freedom going around.
Speaker 2: It was just sort of stuff like being like, is
Speaker 2: this your boyfriend?
Speaker 1: Yes? Right, they're getting bad information on what human trafficking
Speaker 1: looks like, and like if this was from a like
Speaker 1: American Airlines, you know, policy of training policy, it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see where this came from, because I would
Speaker 1: be surprised if this person wasn't on some like Facebook
Speaker 1: groups that you know, gotta you gotta do your part.
Speaker 1: Well you see something, say something, you know.
Speaker 3: And I think the other thing people were like, couldn't
Speaker 3: you look at the flight manifest Yeah, like they all
Speaker 3: got the same fucking name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no again and who knows. But I'm sure
Speaker 2: for someone who is like looking for to be like
Speaker 2: the hero, they're.
Speaker 3: Like, of course they would do that to not write
Speaker 3: suspicion he kidnapped this little boy exactly what they would
Speaker 3: want us to think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to the point that people of color can't win
Speaker 1: because you've got it.
Speaker 2: In American airlines.
Speaker 3: Damn, they've done fuck all to like try and rectifid
Speaker 3: this like with the passengers.
Speaker 2: So you know, on it goes on.
Speaker 1: Ago uh SAG after the latest news that the AMPTP
Speaker 1: and SAG could meet as early as next week to
Speaker 1: hash out their deal, which I think helps the fact
Speaker 1: that the WGA is not going back to work until
Speaker 1: SAG after works out their deal probably is helping their position.
Speaker 1: So yeah, once again, shout out to the Solidarity and
Speaker 1: gen Z. Loneliness is so bad that young adults, some
Speaker 1: young adults, not all of them, are spending thousands trying
Speaker 1: to make friends through gym memberships and social clubs. I
Speaker 1: can't tell if this is, you know, the guy who
Speaker 1: thinks millennials are spending too much on avocado toasts, like
Speaker 1: going back for a second bite at the apple or not,
Speaker 1: because like the main reason this interests me is like,
Speaker 1: what is a social club? Is that a thing that
Speaker 1: we're seeing, Like the one that they describe in the
Speaker 1: article is the Soho house.
Speaker 3: Hich that's just like you not find a fucking friendship
Speaker 3: a Soho house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just.
Speaker 3: Like fine people doing pain in the bathroom, making out,
Speaker 3: making outlandish.
Speaker 2: Claims that they can't back up. That's about what you
Speaker 2: get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But there, like there there are those things like
Speaker 1: the multi level marketing schemes, and like I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know there, there's that sketch in season three of
Speaker 1: I Think You Should Leave where Beck Bennett is like
Speaker 1: part of like a friends club where or like that
Speaker 1: he gets to hang out with like a certain number
Speaker 1: of friend ends as long as he like acts right.
Speaker 1: Like I am interested in all the ways that loneliness
Speaker 1: is being artificially addressed by by our current culture. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like the way that this article is about
Speaker 1: like how much money they're spending, and then it lists
Speaker 1: the Soho house as like one of the.
Speaker 2: It's that or orange theory. Yeah, it's like not everybody
Speaker 2: can have what who the fuck is that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Who has fucking like twenty five hundred to just blow
Speaker 3: on a Soho house?
Speaker 2: You might be lonelier for other reasons, but I do.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously I don't underrate the idea that like
Speaker 3: we are getting more disconnected from each other. So that
Speaker 3: part definitely tracks like the loneliness of Americans for sure,
Speaker 3: because it's wild.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'd hate to bring it up, but when
Speaker 3: I was in Italy, you know, the way you see
Speaker 3: people out there just enjoying each other. It does the
Speaker 3: sense of community is much different than we that we
Speaker 3: have in the United States. But again, you know, it
Speaker 3: does feel like when you attaching dollar amounts, it almost
Speaker 3: it's meant to feel like the amounts of money or
Speaker 3: the thing they want you to focus on, rather than like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's we got I mean, it's loneliness across the board.
Speaker 1: Uh sure, Yeah, And in our version of a country,
Speaker 1: like the capitalists rush in, like this article is in
Speaker 1: Business Insider, So it's like this defect of like how
Speaker 1: we're living is actually a business opportunity, right, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: we're right. Yeah, oh my god, Orange theory, which is
Speaker 1: just like a workout class. Like suddenly they want to
Speaker 1: be like a lifestyle. I remember we work. We Like
Speaker 1: our first episodes were recorded out of a we work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and like the we Work policies and like all the
Speaker 1: all the communications that you get from them were like
Speaker 1: about how this is like a lifestyle and do you
Speaker 1: want to come to like drinks and like a party afterwards,
Speaker 1: like at we Work and it's like we work band
Speaker 1: branded like happy hours and shit, you know they're they're
Speaker 1: corporations who recognize, like their other products have made us
Speaker 1: very lonely, and they're like they want to create the
Speaker 1: products that are going to address that loneliness that people
Speaker 1: used to treat by hanging out with their neighbors or
Speaker 1: you know being part of like a bowling team or
Speaker 1: you know being part of a church or you know
Speaker 1: community center or unions. Right, and now like that ship,
Speaker 1: a lot of that ship has gone away. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's opportunity. There's money to be made here, but don't ask.
Speaker 3: About creating more third places for people to go. That's
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because like that's the complete
Speaker 3: you know that it's vanishing because everything has to be
Speaker 3: a product you can sell. So it's just like spot
Speaker 3: to be able to like, you know, come together because
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff they pointers like people pay for
Speaker 3: they want to.
Speaker 2: Be do go to the jiu jitsu gym and they
Speaker 2: meet people there. And I totally get that.
Speaker 3: But I think we're also seeing again, along with like
Speaker 3: social media and things like that, making us feel a
Speaker 3: little bit more separated from things.
Speaker 2: We also just.
Speaker 3: Don't have, like physical spaces that don't require money to
Speaker 3: just sort of exist in and be able to socialize.
Speaker 3: I think that's a huge fucking part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's totally by design that there
Speaker 1: aren't these places too, you know that we have really
Speaker 1: expensive to join golf courses instead of public parks, you know,
Speaker 1: right exactly. I've heard people be like Arawan is the
Speaker 1: new cool place to hang out and meet people and
Speaker 1: buy forty five dollars basket of strawberries. Anyways, those are
Speaker 1: some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
Speaker 1: the show until then, be kind to each other, be
Speaker 1: kind to yourself, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bite bite
