Speaker 1: with our last trending episode. I'm mile, I'm here with
Speaker 1: Becca Romo's high. Whoa day coming up? Oh? Sorry, my
Speaker 1: birthday is coming up. Normally, what I associate Easter with
Speaker 1: is uh, it's no, It's Becca's birthday. Yeah, during Easter
Speaker 1: or like soon, which is soon. You went from he
Speaker 1: has risen to she is busy? She is No. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, my Catholic education has failed me. I
Speaker 1: forgot the purpose a good Friday? What do you mean
Speaker 1: that's the day he was crucified? Okay, that is right,
Speaker 1: because he has three days and then he rises on Sunday. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was just Palm Sunday. Last Sunday's Palm Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you got good Friday. And then he popped
Speaker 1: up out the cave on or they opened it up
Speaker 1: like he gone, and then he came out like this,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I guess I was confused. I mean, you
Speaker 1: obviously made the joke in the last episode, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is good about Friday? Then? No? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That sweet was just like yeah, I mean I don't
Speaker 1: know whatever because like for other people, it's like for us,
Speaker 1: for us or like you know, like Monday Tuesday and
Speaker 1: all that shit that's fat Tuesday is actually called Monday Tuesday,
Speaker 1: if you really anyway, I'm not anymore or not anymore.
Speaker 1: I was indoctrinated as a child, but it wasn't for
Speaker 1: me because them prayers did not render gifts that I
Speaker 1: thought they wouldn't. Oh, I agree. Let's get into some news,
Speaker 1: some trending topics which are like little gifts of you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're high calorie info snacks, as they say, the
Speaker 1: people who run the hundred from succession. Anyway, first trend is,
Speaker 1: uh Trump T shirt because right now, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: there's there's t shirts being sold by the Donald Trump campaign.
Speaker 1: And the thing is and like just many people this
Speaker 1: all has to do with because like before he was
Speaker 1: going to be arrested or arraigned, you know, people were saying, like,
Speaker 1: oh man, there he's gonna get a mug shot. They're
Speaker 1: like that fucking picture, as they said, was quote fuel
Speaker 1: for a fundraising drive. Other people said it's going to
Speaker 1: be the most manly, most masculine, most handsome mug shot
Speaker 1: of all Time and on Fox, they're like, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be the new check Evada with that face, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be iconic. And you're like, please get the fuck out
Speaker 1: of here. Anyway, they're so delusional of like what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump looks like. Like objectively, he's ugly. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's you know, the swag of any of
Speaker 1: these people. Yeah, like outside of all the evil he's
Speaker 1: done and like the horrid person he is, like he
Speaker 1: truly is rancid looking like he's never been hot and rancid.
Speaker 1: The boys of time Bomb shout out the band rancid look,
Speaker 1: but he is. There was no mug shot. They didn't
Speaker 1: take a mug shot because they're like, we're not gonna
Speaker 1: let you let you have that. Although I think it
Speaker 1: did come out though that there's now disputes about that
Speaker 1: his actual height is maybe closer to six one than
Speaker 1: the six three that he claims, although he told them
Speaker 1: he was six two when he pulled up. Anyway, despite that,
Speaker 1: there is no mug shot. Um there's already like mug
Speaker 1: shot merch popping around, and then the campaign itself had
Speaker 1: their own shirt. There's a shirt that's thirty six dollars
Speaker 1: or it's free if you donate forty seven dollars. And
Speaker 1: what's so sad is like they just took one of
Speaker 1: his like official portraits and then just made it black
Speaker 1: and white. They're not even like, y'all, don't even deep
Speaker 1: fake a mug shot like a little like placard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and in that it says this my man is six
Speaker 1: foot five. Okay, all right, Okay, don't worry. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna ask, we won't tell. Don't worry. I want to
Speaker 1: know what it's like to like be that delusional, you know,
Speaker 1: like I would love that type of like to see
Speaker 1: exact it was for me. It was called being nineteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't. I think it's just you don't
Speaker 1: really get that sometimes, Oh man, nineteen country, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you get the fantasy. Yeah, I mean, look
Speaker 1: at nineteen, I fucking knew it all. I knew it all,
Speaker 1: and I was infallible, and I think it was more
Speaker 1: to do with my youth than anything else. But I
Speaker 1: knew fuck all, and I still continue to know fuck all.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to add little bits here and there. Okay,
Speaker 1: next thing that's trending something more fun, something more lighthearted,
Speaker 1: especially for those of us that know the power of cannabis.
Speaker 1: Martin Zamani is trending because he entered a fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollar poker tournament and he won, and he got the
Speaker 1: six hundred and sixty six thousand dollar jackpot. That's some
Speaker 1: demon shit. But you know what go on and I
Speaker 1: just want to play this like whole thing. There's like
Speaker 1: a sideline reporter who was saying, like I just spoke
Speaker 1: with him about like what's going on, Like, hows why
Speaker 1: he's doing so on the tournament. I just want you
Speaker 1: to hear this thing, because this is I he reveals
Speaker 1: what his secret is to winning a fucking fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars buy in tournament. I talked to Martin Zamani during
Speaker 1: the break about the success that he's had at these
Speaker 1: high roller tournaments against polished opponents and maybe the different
Speaker 1: approach that he takes. His answer for me was very simple,
Speaker 1: two words. I'm high, king shitpatiate it. What's it like?
Speaker 1: He's like, Man, I'm high. That's I don't know. They
Speaker 1: can't really read my eyes at that point because I'm
Speaker 1: so faded. There's nothing I'm not giving you anything with
Speaker 1: my face, and I'm sure you're not thinking as maybe
Speaker 1: stress induced, you know, you're like, you're kind of like
Speaker 1: or like, that's just like his that's just the way
Speaker 1: he has to be as a person. And he's just like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's necessarily helping. He's like,
Speaker 1: but I'm not about to sit and sit at that
Speaker 1: table not fucking high. Yeah, that's just that's my secret. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I guess it's a maybe it'll
Speaker 1: be a performance enhancing drug for poker, um, but definitely
Speaker 1: not the NBA anymore to change that. Um. And then
Speaker 1: if you're talking about those Starbucks drinks, the what the
Speaker 1: fuck is it called old oil of ol? A couldn't tell.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's some team members as they're called, or workers
Speaker 1: of Starbucks who have been telling tale out of school
Speaker 1: on Reddit and basically being like, uh, just to let
Speaker 1: y'all know that this is one post from someone who
Speaker 1: worked at a starbuckstore. Quote, have you tried them? I'm
Speaker 1: wondering how many people are going to have happened to them?
Speaker 1: What happened to our team? Half the team tried it yesterday?
Speaker 1: And if you ended up needing to use the restroom,
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. I'm honestly scared to
Speaker 1: try it because I already have stomach and battle problems.
Speaker 1: And other people were like, yeah, we had a similar
Speaker 1: thing too. Some people had some butt excitement with the drink.
Speaker 1: It's leaky gut. Yeah, I don't know the I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's like how real it is, because I mean,
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, wouldn't who was it? Oh?
Speaker 1: Producer Bay was on and saying that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: oat milk has a bunch of fucking oil in theo,
Speaker 1: so it's not like you're actually avoiding in other places.
Speaker 1: But I guess it's like when you think of how
Speaker 1: they're like just doing pumps of it into the drink, it, yeah,
Speaker 1: has a different quality to it, and maybe the quality
Speaker 1: of the oil, you know, I don't know. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you know, as there were people who said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was literally a very shitty drink for me. Other
Speaker 1: people like I love it, so you know, do what
Speaker 1: you do. Someone other person tweeted, it's a legit laxative,
Speaker 1: so I guess it's uh, it still has some appeal,
Speaker 1: zeke gang, can you can y'all go have it? And
Speaker 1: just let me know if y'all are around, if you've
Speaker 1: had it, because I'm not about to try and have
Speaker 1: you know Howard Schultz induced diarrhea. Yeah, I'm for sure
Speaker 1: not going to try that stuff, but no, but I
Speaker 1: will implore you to do it so I may live
Speaker 1: vicariously through you, as a brave person would. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take another break. Not even an. I said that again.
Speaker 1: I did that two days when Jack. When Jack comes back,
Speaker 1: things will be a little more stable unless chaotic. Let's
Speaker 1: take our break and come back where we will talk
Speaker 1: about some more trends right after this, and we're back.
Speaker 1: Medie Hassan is trending on Twitter because he man. He
Speaker 1: gobbled up Matt Taiebee in an interview. If you don't
Speaker 1: remember Matt Taiebee, he is. He was once a journalist
Speaker 1: that people were like, oh, yeah, like you're kind of
Speaker 1: reporting on some interesting stuff like about you know, like
Speaker 1: like occupy Wall Street kind of stuff and like the
Speaker 1: banking sector. Then like he's slowly gone more and more
Speaker 1: to the right and eventually just had been like recently,
Speaker 1: you might know him from all the Twitter files. When
Speaker 1: Elon was like, wait for this next drop it's gonna
Speaker 1: blow your fucking mind. And Matt Taiebee was like using
Speaker 1: his whatever credibility at as a journalist to try and
Speaker 1: prop up these these allegations from the Twitter files, which
Speaker 1: felt like a big pilot nothing to people. But apparently
Speaker 1: Medi Hassan like talked about him on his show, and
Speaker 1: then Matt Tybee's like, you know what, dude, have me
Speaker 1: on your show. Don't just put words in my mouth.
Speaker 1: Why don't you actually hear what I have to say?
Speaker 1: So Maddy said, okay, bet come through man, Matt Taiebe,
Speaker 1: he's clearly he's not around people that are pressing him
Speaker 1: because he was so horribly prepared. I'll play a little
Speaker 1: bit of an interaction here just so you get an idea.
Speaker 1: Like the entire thirty minute clip is pretty fascinating because
Speaker 1: my god, like we were talking about shitty journalists. Mattie Hassan,
Speaker 1: he pressed his ass like olive oil, first press, cold press,
Speaker 1: and this Matt Taiebee was leakin after one specific thing,
Speaker 1: was talking about how he has completely He made this
Speaker 1: allegation about how this organization like said they flagged twenty
Speaker 1: two million tweets is misinformation and like many a sounds
Speaker 1: like no, that's not true, Like you actually you didn't
Speaker 1: even read the actual like numbers and the order in
Speaker 1: which the information was released that would indicate to you
Speaker 1: it wasn't this timeline. I'll just play a little bit
Speaker 1: of you so you can hear this part where Matt
Speaker 1: Taiebee is clearly like sweating like a kid who has
Speaker 1: been caught by the fucking teacher to make that false claim.
Speaker 1: It's just Era off to Era mout I'm just this one.
Speaker 1: He said, that's an error, but the other ones aren't. No,
Speaker 1: twenty two million number came from their own report, yeah,
Speaker 1: where it came from a report in March. Twitter, do
Speaker 1: you know what the twenty two million number is? Mat?
Speaker 1: Can you tell me? Because we checked. Twenty two million
Speaker 1: is the number of tweets about election misinformation that were
Speaker 1: just that they just mapped. How many tweets were they
Speaker 1: the ones they actually flagged to Twitter before the election?
Speaker 1: Twenty two million came off to the election. It wasn't
Speaker 1: in the run up. They flagged three thousand, So you
Speaker 1: were off by twenty one million. I stand by my story.
Speaker 1: You stand by watch story. You stand by twenty two
Speaker 1: million were flagged in the run up to the election,
Speaker 1: even though that number came in March twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: which was after the election. Okay, Maddie, please please, we've
Speaker 1: already seen enough destruction on this website already. My god,
Speaker 1: it's his whole face. To Matt Tabe, he's like like
Speaker 1: kind of like okay, whatever, like just like something so
Speaker 1: brazzled because he like truly does not have anything to say. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then he also talked about He's like, look, bro,
Speaker 1: because he's talking about, oh, you know, how On Musk
Speaker 1: is good for free speech, and he's like, well, what
Speaker 1: about what's going on in India? Emodi makes basically tell him,
Speaker 1: you know, Musk like I'm gonna censor the funk out
Speaker 1: of this website. And Elon was like yeah, yeah, cool,
Speaker 1: cool cool. And when he comes on, he's like, you
Speaker 1: said you could be critical of Elon Musk. Why don't
Speaker 1: you do that right now. I'll give you the moment
Speaker 1: to do that right now. He's like, um, I don't
Speaker 1: feel like that right now. It's like brush shut up anyway.
Speaker 1: Nice to see journalists pressing people like properly and using
Speaker 1: like you know, their own words to hold them to
Speaker 1: account in this case, Matt Tybee played himself to I
Speaker 1: guess be one of Elon's favorites. Um. Speaking of actually
Speaker 1: terrible people, Laura Lumer, who's just a notorious islamophobe, Really
Speaker 1: someone you don't need to really know about, just know
Speaker 1: that this person is an absolute disgrace to humanity and
Speaker 1: one of the most hateful people we've seen anyway. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump apparently has told his team that he wants her
Speaker 1: to be hired for his campaign. She can't even like,
Speaker 1: she can't even get on most social media sites for
Speaker 1: the nonsense and like hate speech that she says, like
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, that's perfect, I want that on
Speaker 1: the team. So I think we're getting an idea of
Speaker 1: what what Donald is, what is what he's thinking. I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna go pedal to the metal with the
Speaker 1: fucking hate speech because this woman just think of any
Speaker 1: terrible thing you could say, um, and she's probably said it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. I don't know what exactly
Speaker 1: her role is going to be, but they said they
Speaker 1: want her to help just with some kind of campaign
Speaker 1: role that helps in support of his candidacy. That's so
Speaker 1: bizarre to hire someone for campaign work. If they're not
Speaker 1: really able to tweet much or you know, yea on
Speaker 1: social media because of how hateful their speeches. Yeah, or
Speaker 1: that He's just like, I need her takes. I need
Speaker 1: her hot takes about I get it. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's not going to give you much press, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, I don't think you can't literally
Speaker 1: say anything. It's I think he just sees like that
Speaker 1: these like really hate field people, I guess to him,
Speaker 1: appear very enthusiastic and he thinks that's the thing he
Speaker 1: wants to capture. But I'm like, bro, you already have
Speaker 1: all the races. You don't you got to do money? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like we saw what we saw what you did, Like
Speaker 1: we were there, you know where you are. You proved
Speaker 1: your cred. Don't worry. The only thing people are worried
Speaker 1: about is they think you're pro vaccine and you need
Speaker 1: to you need to set that record straight. Donald Trump. UM,
Speaker 1: so that'll be man twenty twenty four looks like a
Speaker 1: fucking cool maybe. Um. And then finally, the Star Wars
Speaker 1: celebration is happening right now and they have announced Okay, look,
Speaker 1: I know I just heard you go there, but look
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be real. I love Star Wars. I like
Speaker 1: the original trilogy. I'll watch I watched all the films,
Speaker 1: I could only get into some of the shows because
Speaker 1: that's when shit started coming too fast, like the just
Speaker 1: to show after show, movie after movie. It's why I
Speaker 1: basically exited the MCU because once it was like nineteen
Speaker 1: films to be able to make sense of another one.
Speaker 1: I was like, I come on, now, I can't do
Speaker 1: all this right now right. So at this thing they have,
Speaker 1: They've announced three new movies and you know, a bunch
Speaker 1: of new shows and stuff too, and I'm exhausted a
Speaker 1: little bit, and I need some time to ingest each
Speaker 1: thing as it happens. But I'm a feeling they just
Speaker 1: see the money and they're like, yeah, yeah, we're going
Speaker 1: for sure. And I saw somewhere on Twitter the take
Speaker 1: of they're taking the MCU route. You know, obviously they're
Speaker 1: on by Disney now. Yeah, so it doesn't surprise me
Speaker 1: that whoever's on those teams is also like, well, we
Speaker 1: have just as much ip clout in Star Wars as
Speaker 1: we do MCU, So like, why don't we just push
Speaker 1: this as hard as we can spit it out. So
Speaker 1: you know, I am not a big star Wars person
Speaker 1: obviously by my girl, and you could tell. I just
Speaker 1: I it's the type of sci fi that is just
Speaker 1: like so beyond me. Like it's just I've never been
Speaker 1: able to get into it. I don't know what it
Speaker 1: is about it. I'm just like these monsters and this
Speaker 1: story and it's just like space Western and I just
Speaker 1: it's just, oh my god, I'm getting eaten alive in
Speaker 1: the chat. It's not sci fi? Then what is it?
Speaker 1: Superbrushers O Brian. But yeah, I mean the thing like
Speaker 1: one thing that is interesting, Like there's three new films,
Speaker 1: but Charmine Obeyed Chenoy is going to also be directing
Speaker 1: one of the films. That's the one that's gonna be
Speaker 1: starring Daisy Ridley and Or is coming back. I like
Speaker 1: and Or, So I'm like, okay, I could funk with that.
Speaker 1: But then like these other ones, like I don't The
Speaker 1: Acolyte is another thing. They said it's Frozen meets kill Bill,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, the fuck like that so much? Look,
Speaker 1: people clearly want they're there for everything. I'm just I
Speaker 1: think maybe I'm just getting old. Baby. I'm happy for
Speaker 1: the people that aren't burned out by watching so many things.
Speaker 1: I personally I have learned about myself that I have
Speaker 1: leaned more into reality TV as of late, because it
Speaker 1: doesn't make me feel burnt out. It's all bullshit. It
Speaker 1: all so you know, superficial. It's like whatever if you
Speaker 1: miss an episode, like it's like all stupid. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I just like can't ingest this much. Like there's content,
Speaker 1: there's not a lore. There's not a lot of lore
Speaker 1: that you have to familiarize yourself with when you watch
Speaker 1: Mills Manner. You know what I mean exactly? You know so.
Speaker 1: And let's not to say I don't love a high
Speaker 1: quality movie. I'm into movies more than TV because there
Speaker 1: is only three hours, you know, like it's like three hours,
Speaker 1: that's it. I don't you're watching three hour movie movie.
Speaker 1: Movies are not like three hours, let's be real. Movies
Speaker 1: are like two to three hours. Now, not that I
Speaker 1: love a three hour movie. I love a good hour
Speaker 1: and a half movie like ninety minutes in and out band,
Speaker 1: But I just like that it's like start to finish
Speaker 1: the whole story. One moment you leave, you've seen it all.
Speaker 1: You're in the know. Yeah, exactly, like you say, power
Speaker 1: to the people that have the attention spans and energy
Speaker 1: to like get through it. But like even now, even
Speaker 1: if I put my Star Wars fandom aside, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I haven't even seen this season of Yellow Jackets yet,
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't seen the rest of the last
Speaker 1: of Us. I don't have like so many half baked things.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get through it. Just it's a lot.
Speaker 1: Is there like a term for this, like streaming anxiety,
Speaker 1: like content off overloaming anxiety. I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: like a medical like psychological term for it nowadays. I'm
Speaker 1: sure there is like some study going on, but I
Speaker 1: have hello, streaming anxiety, Like I can't seem to start
Speaker 1: anything that's like really hyped, really right, like intense. I
Speaker 1: like basically watch like comedy shit like specials, because those
Speaker 1: are kind of like movies, you know, they're just like
Speaker 1: one bit, it's over. I mean it catch up, Black
Speaker 1: Lady Sketch. Oh love that. But it's also you know,
Speaker 1: lightweight comedy bits thirty minutes you're and you're out, or
Speaker 1: I'm watching reality TV because the goss is fun or
Speaker 1: like that's or documentaries like I'm like into the docuseries stuff,
Speaker 1: but outside of that, I'm like, right, I can't. I can't.
Speaker 1: Like my friends want to start beef yesterday, I was like, beat,
Speaker 1: what is that? Right? Yeah, it looks really great. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feeling anxious starting it. Like I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get like that Marie Aoki thing where like
Speaker 1: the people go to poop in the bookstore because there's
Speaker 1: too many things on offer. As I feel like I'll
Speaker 1: open up a streaming up, I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: there's no all these new shows. Now, i gotta take
Speaker 1: a shit. I don't know what's going on. And that's
Speaker 1: how I feel so anxious. Help us that gang, please, yeah,
Speaker 1: help me. I guess I just have to like really
Speaker 1: be more intentional or whatever. But whatever. Instead, I've just
Speaker 1: been reading more. I'm like, I'm so because like I'm
Speaker 1: also addicted to TikTok, and I know that about myself.
