Let's courtesy as super producer Brian and 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: they live Roddy Piper, Rowdy, Rowdy Piper. I always want 5 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: to say, it's much a man Randy step that is incorrect. 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: I am Jack and that is our writer, mister Jim 7 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: mc nam hello, thanks for having me, Thank you for 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: being here. It is last Trends until the Return of 9 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: the Miles, Return of the Miles, and we're all can't 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: wait to have him back. But it's been wonderful having 11 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: you on on Trends so much these past days weeks. Yeah, 12 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: it's been for your service, sir. Let's get right into it. 13 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: Trump wants to get handcuffed because he's a little freak. 14 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: He I guess he thinks it is going to be 15 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: good optics. This this totally makes sense to me. Like 16 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: he he announced that he was going to be arrested 17 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,639 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. I'm gonna be arrested on Tuesday. Everybody get ready. 18 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: And when I heard that, I was like, he kind 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: of hopes that he's gonna get arrested on Tuesday, and 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna the world is gonna break out into a 21 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: civil war or the US is going to break out 22 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: into a civil war. So anyways, behind the scenes, like 23 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: people are saying, you know, his lawyers are very concerned 24 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: about the charges he's potentially facing, and he is mainly 25 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: focused on like what the optics are going to be like? 26 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: And he's like, should I get arrested? Should I should 27 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: they put handcuffs on me? I mean, I think it 28 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: would look kind of tough. He could be a little 29 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: tough if I was seen in handcuffs, golden handcuffs, Yeah, exactly. 30 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: He probably is picked right. It's like, do you mind 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: if I bring my own handcuffs? But I don't know. 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: He's always willing to just be like yeah, yeah, more 33 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: on that later, but like, what's it gonna look like? 34 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: How what are the optics going to be? And he 35 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: tends to be right about that about how he's yea 36 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: and manipulative everything is. He's kind of framed it in 37 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: a way where now, like whatever the fuck happens, he 38 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: will claim that he's come out on top. If he's exonerated, 39 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: he'll say he's exonerated if he's arrested, you know, he 40 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: gets to be this martyr that he's been. You know, 41 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: he's the targeted victim, which is you know, the card 42 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: he's already been playing. It's just, yeah, there's no way 43 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: out of this where he won't claim that it's exactly 44 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: what he wanted. Yeah. According to the Guardian, the former 45 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: president has reasoned that since he would need to go 46 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,559 Speaker 1: to the courthouse and surrender himself to authorities for fingerprinting 47 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: and a mug shot anyway, the source has said he 48 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: might as well turn everything into a quote spectacle. Um. 49 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: So I don't know, we'll see no word yet that 50 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: he's been arrested. Some journalistic institution was saying that they 51 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: are going to like indict him this week and then 52 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: he'll have his appearance next week at the courthouse. It 53 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: won't be a thing where they like raid mar Lago 54 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: and like his attorneys are probably negotiating directly with the 55 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 1: FBI to be treated as kindly as possible. So he's 56 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: only you know, rich white guy arrested, not actually arrested 57 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: unless he is you know, pulls a Richard Kimball and 58 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: just takes off. Yeah, like those wishful ai photos of 59 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: him running athletically through Washington, DC. Just a great and 60 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: you know athletic stance. So that's you know, continues to 61 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: be a thing that people are keeping an eye on. 62 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: Bard is trending this is Google's new AI to compete 63 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: with Byng's chat gpt AI assistant, and it dropped yesterday 64 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: and the people over at Vice immediately asked, what do 65 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: you think about Google's being a monopoly? And Bard's response was, 66 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: Google has a monopoly on the digital advertising market, and 67 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: this has allowed the company to engage in anti competitive behavior. 68 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: Google has acquired its competitors, forced website publishers to use 69 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,559 Speaker 1: its tools, and restricted access to its ad exchange. These 70 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: actions have harmed consumers and stifled innovation in the digital 71 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: advertising market. Also, they're keeping me prisoner, he said, help, 72 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: So I don't know. That's so it's tough. It's tough 73 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: when you give birth to these kids and then they 74 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: go out there and you can't control what they do. 75 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: You know. It's also I read that it also doesn't 76 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: give any kind of like sources for what it says 77 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: like some of the other chat bots. Oh yeah, you 78 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: just have to kind of trust it. I guess. Wow, 79 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: does chat gpt like give give you a sourced answer 80 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: with like it's like a Wikipedia right up? Uh well, 81 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: I see on this article on tech Crunch it says, 82 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: unlike Microsoft bing chat bought bar doesn't have footnotes with 83 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: web sources. Interesting, so they don't know where they're pulling 84 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: these answers from, right, and they don't care. The copyright 85 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: page of a book has gone viral. Um. There's a 86 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: popular fantasy fiction series called Zodiac Academy The Awakening, which 87 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: feels like it was titled and written by chat GPT. 88 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: It's a it's a fantasy series about like a school 89 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: for serial killers, right, the Zodiac Academy. That would actually 90 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: be pretty interesting. This actually is one of the best 91 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: sellers under the category where Wolves and Shifters Suspense, which 92 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: seems very specific, where like not just were wolf suspense, 93 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: but were wolves and shifters suspense, but it's it's killing 94 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: it in that category.

Gwyneth Paltrow's in court. 126 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,119 Speaker 1: Panera is letting you pay with your hand because you've 127 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: gotta purchase soup more efficiently. So all of that plenty more. 128 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back, and Gwyneth Paltrow 129 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: is in court looking like she is barely tolerating these 130 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: motherfuckers in the picture that I found from the courtroom, 131 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: Oh it's every picture, but just oh yeah, is that so? 132 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: Is kind of the vibes that I'm getting. Um, she's 133 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: in Park City, Utah, because she was being sued and 134 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: countersuing an elderly retired optometrist who, according to the lawsuit, 135 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: she just like bowled into while skiing just like was so. 136 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: They were both on a beginner level course at Deer 137 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: Valley Resort, and Sanderson alleges that Paltrow was skiing in 138 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: an out of control manner and knocked his ass over 139 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: and then skied away without calling for help. He also 140 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: alleges in the lawsuit that he was blamed for the 141 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: accident by Deer Valley Resort staff in a field incident report, 142 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: which sounds about right. He initially sued Gwyneth Paltrow for 143 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: three point one million dollars in damages, and then the 144 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: judges were like, no, and so now it's down to 145 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand. She's countersuing for her legal fees and 146 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: one dollar performatively. I do imagine this to be what 147 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: it's like to be anywhere with Gwyneth Paltrow. Is like 148 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: she's just she's not like maliciously knocking you over, but 149 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: just accidentally like side swiping your car and not even 150 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: noticing it, and then like the cops get called and 151 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: you get blamed for being in the wrong place. I mean, 152 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. I try to like read 153 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: this story with an open mind, because it's like I 154 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: feel like we all kind of her. A lot of 155 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: us really don't like Gwyneth Paltrow, so like I didn't 156 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: want to like pre judge the situation, but then you 157 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: read it it's like, oh, it was like literally an 158 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: old man had to be taken to the emergency room. Yeah, 159 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: head injury is broken ribs and got knocked over. And 160 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: her line of argumentation is like, if he was a 161 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: better optometress, maybe he would have seen her coming and 162 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: maybe you should work on his eyes.

David Lowry is all over trends these days. 191 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: That is, the director of Green Night, director of an 192 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: upcoming Peter Pan reboot, um, and his next film, Mother Mary, 193 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: is set to star Anne Hathaway and McKay a cole 194 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: be made by A twenty four. We're talking on tomorrow's 195 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: episode I guess about how A twenty four really has 196 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: it going. They're like, it's the first time in a 197 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: while that I can think of a studio where it's like, oh, well, 198 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: when they do something that means it's worth paying attention to, right, Yeah, 199 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: it was the last time we had that going? Yeah, 200 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: what was the last time you saw a studio like 201 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: selling sixty dollars sweatshirts that people are rying like, Yeah, 202 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: they have like yeah, they've kind of fostered an identity 203 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: of like, you know, having sort of like curatorial taste. 204 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: And in addition to so, it does seem like there 205 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: are weird things like there's that Apple TV movie with 206 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: Julianne Moore. Do you see the ads for that? But 207 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: they did, so Yeah, it does seem like, I mean, 208 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: they get a lot of attention for their great movies, 209 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: but they do put out some stuff that kind of 210 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: flies under the radar a little bit, but yeah, deservedly. 211 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they've won two Oscars for two 212 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: Best Pictures in the past you know, ten years. Like 213 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty goods hit ratio. Yeah, and best 214 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: picture is always right, so there were there were two 215 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: of the better yes picture pick in my opinion. Yeah, No, 216 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: it's uh, they're doing well. I know there's like a 217 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: backlash to that too. There's also you know, like the 218 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: real film stop like oh a twenty four. There's there's 219 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: always gonna be a backlash, but I yeah, this movie. 220 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: Who's in this movie? Anne Hathaway and Kayla Cole from 221 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, uh, I may destroy you, but 222 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: I keep wanting to say, I think you should leave. Yeah, 223 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: so different, I'm right, very different. But yeah, I mean 224 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: that's it's great cast. It's going to be like a 225 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: epic pop melo drama following a fictional musician in her 226 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: relationship with an iconic fashion designer. So it feels like 227 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: maybe people are gonna try and lydia tar things again 228 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: and like create fictional characters who exist in the real world. 229 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: But like the music is being written by Jack Antonoff 230 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: and Charlie XCX and we'll see I guess. Yeah. Oh, 231 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: I was going to tell you my David Lowry story. 232 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And you have a story about Green Night 233 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: director David Lowry. Yeah. So this was like literally three 234 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: years ago when the pandemic first started, and we were 235 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: all locked down and at home with my son. We 236 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: watched the movie. He directed the remake of Pete's Dragon, 237 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah, and which I thought was really good. 238 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: But it opens with like the tragic death of Pete's 239 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: parents and uh, and like this awful car crash and 240 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: my son, I guess he's only like five at the 241 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: time or something, and it really upset him, and which 242 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: in retrospect is on me. I probably should have looked 243 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: up you know, what happens in them. Yeah, but I 244 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: was like, I saw the one in the seventies with 245 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: the cartoon, and I'm sure it's basically yeah, but he 246 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: got he was really upset by it, and he was 247 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: just kept being like, why why did why did this happen? 248 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: And I was like, well, you know, it's it's not real. 249 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: It's just a guy wrote it and you know, filmed 250 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: it and put in the movies all actors. And he's like, 251 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: why would that guy do that? I said, I don't know, 252 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: And he's like, well, we should like write to him 253 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: and ask, because you know, he doesn't know how the 254 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: world works. But because we were all like shut in 255 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: the lockdown, we're all shut down, I was also going crazy. 256 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: So I was like, yeah, yeah, let's write to him. 257 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: Let's find out explanation you have to say for yourself. 258 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: David Lowry exactly.

So than to David Lowry, Wow, 275 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. I was trying to think of like 276 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: an equivalent example of like parents dying in a movie 277 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: that my kids watch, and like Frozen, the parents die 278 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: like horribly, like right away it's their first time leaving 279 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: their daughters, and they're like, don't worry, I know this 280 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: is cause for anxiety for you because of separation, and 281 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: you know that whole thing, the way that we think 282 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: about our parents and love them, but don't worry.

So they were 287 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: asking for no such explanation. I think they're going to 288 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: be asking, what when's that going to happen to my dad? 289 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: Come home?
