Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendy
Speaker 1: Thing Trendy Ware all zight one. There is the mouthful
Speaker 1: um let is courtesy a fighter of the Night Man's
Speaker 1: I am Jack, you are mild. And here is what
Speaker 1: is trending. The mass shootings and Buffalo and Orange County
Speaker 1: are both trending. First one, I mean, yeah, well, white
Speaker 1: supremacist terror attack. Um, you know, someone driving hours to
Speaker 1: target a black neighborhood and Buffalo, Um, you know, how's
Speaker 1: all the trappings of white supremacist terror. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that more tomorrow's show. And then I know in in
Speaker 1: Orange County there was another shooting where I believe someone's
Speaker 1: hatred of the Taiwanese community. Yeah, um motivated that shooting.
Speaker 1: So yeah, just you know, I mean, the the shootings
Speaker 1: never go away, and yeah, we find ourselves increasingly I
Speaker 1: don't we're more confused as to what to do about it,
Speaker 1: but no one does anything about it. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean we talked about it a little bit tomorrow. But
Speaker 1: the m I think the fact that there's the status
Speaker 1: quo group political party that doesn't really say anything that
Speaker 1: resembles or like resonates with people. And then there's the
Speaker 1: fascist m h. And it just unless things change, you
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know. It's like I was looking
Speaker 1: up Father Coughlin this morning, the like nineties Catholic priest
Speaker 1: who used his radio broadcast to like, you know, launch
Speaker 1: a giant wave of um fascism in the US, like
Speaker 1: in the lead up to World War two, and the
Speaker 1: only thing that stopped him is World War two. And
Speaker 1: they were like, all right, fun funk all this this
Speaker 1: person is like clear really pro Nazi, and the FDR
Speaker 1: administration force the cancelation of his and then nobody really
Speaker 1: thought about him again because they were too busy world
Speaker 1: War two. Um. But yeah, I don't know the like
Speaker 1: the just the idea that they would intervene to like
Speaker 1: shut down a Tucker Carlson or you know, the people
Speaker 1: who are espousing the replacement theory as as being called is.
Speaker 1: You know, it seems just completely out of the bounds
Speaker 1: of our current reality and the current way things go
Speaker 1: is like it starts with something like the tiki torches
Speaker 1: and now we have a like academic sounding word for it,
Speaker 1: the replacement theory thing. So yeah, we'll dig into it more.
Speaker 1: But it's uh, not great, No, just disheartening. You know,
Speaker 1: it's the same same thing over and over and like
Speaker 1: it's like so wild the news Like on for CNN,
Speaker 1: MSNBC they had like this extremist researcher on. It was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can tell, like this is how social media is
Speaker 1: going on, how sticky the two are together, and and
Speaker 1: you can tell when there's like an uptick on this
Speaker 1: activity it coincides with a lot of like real world violence.
Speaker 1: And this person got out like a few statistics that
Speaker 1: were really interesting and then like, yeah, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for that. All right, moving on, We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: to a politician who's telling us what they're doing about
Speaker 1: the mid terms, and you're like, keep why don't you
Speaker 1: let the fucking expert allow people to learn a little
Speaker 1: bit more about how all of this ship ties together.
Speaker 1: But it was just immediately like someone of something of
Speaker 1: substance was being said and it was you know, yeah, um,
Speaker 1: Neil de grass Tyson was out here with a tweet.
Speaker 1: I guess there was a lunar eclipse over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and Neil de grass Tyson tweet Lunar eclipses are so
Speaker 1: unspectacular that if nobody told you what was happening to
Speaker 1: the moon, you'd probably not notice it at all, Just
Speaker 1: saying to let the people who really funk with the
Speaker 1: moon they know, they know, did you see the eclipse yesterday?
Speaker 1: You noticed that even though nobody told you, Uh, okay,
Speaker 1: somebody told me okay. But on Friday I heard there
Speaker 1: was something like that. Then I then I looked outside
Speaker 1: and you know, look with my eyesight. I was like,
Speaker 1: let me see, maybe I can see the man on
Speaker 1: the moon from down here on Earth. And I was like,
Speaker 1: something's going on. Oh that's right, it's an eclipse. But
Speaker 1: to my eyes, I was like, oh, it's just in
Speaker 1: one of those faces, like it was how I saw it,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't. I didn't quite connect. But you know,
Speaker 1: that's my lunar ignorance. To his point, there's nights where
Speaker 1: I don't see the moon at all. And you know,
Speaker 1: if nobody told me that, well, the moon is up
Speaker 1: there right now, it's just being obscured. I probably he
Speaker 1: wouldn't notice it. But you know, give us something, give
Speaker 1: us something to replace it with, which would we be
Speaker 1: what should we be getting excited about? Yeah, Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know other than just being like stuff. You guys
Speaker 1: care about is lame? Anyways, I liked Radiohead before. Now
Speaker 1: too many people like them. Screw you guys without like
Speaker 1: being like, here's something that you might like equally that
Speaker 1: will also fire your imagination to make you excited about science.
Speaker 1: All right? Uh n b A Playoffs two Game seven's
Speaker 1: on Sunday, truly wild. Um So you know, the Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics knocked out the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks and Janice
Speaker 1: became the first player ever to have two hundred points,
Speaker 1: rebounds of fifty assists in a single series. Um and
Speaker 1: was just wildly impressed the whole time. But the third
Speaker 1: best player on his team was out and injured, and
Speaker 1: it was a strategically significant player because they didn't have
Speaker 1: enough shooting to compete with the Boston Celtics. He couldn't
Speaker 1: do enough though, couldn't as as much as hard as
Speaker 1: he tried. And then the Phoenix Suns, who when you
Speaker 1: listen to basketball podcasts, lesser basketball podcasts that aren't Miles
Speaker 1: and Jack got Matt boost you you would hear people
Speaker 1: who know basketball really well be like the Sons are
Speaker 1: like marching, Like they're not just going to make it
Speaker 1: to the finals, they are like I would be surprised
Speaker 1: if they lost more than one game in any of
Speaker 1: the series on their way to the finals. Um, well,
Speaker 1: they got to game seven of a series with the
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks and not a lot of people were talking
Speaker 1: about heading into the playoffs and they got beat so bad,
Speaker 1: like it was very unexpected, very um they like at
Speaker 1: one point they were just stuck on twenty seven points
Speaker 1: for like a half hour. I didn't understand what was happening.
Speaker 1: But this is this is the Luca songs. This is
Speaker 1: uh yeah, tell me because I wasn't you know, I'm
Speaker 1: like checking in with the score and then going back
Speaker 1: to you know, answering absolutely insane questions from four year olds.
Speaker 1: But dude, this dude, the buckets are just coming so
Speaker 1: easy that he just started laughing, Like after just an
Speaker 1: easy he's like, how about this little let me give
Speaker 1: you a little contact step back boom, like walking down
Speaker 1: the court, like he told himself, like the best joke
Speaker 1: of the fucking year. He was smiling ear to ear
Speaker 1: so many like my God in their face. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I mean that was the thing, you know, because CP three,
Speaker 1: M and And and Booker, We're definitely doing given their
Speaker 1: laughs too. Um, but you know they got the Luca
Speaker 1: special hm m hmmm. So this could be I think
Speaker 1: a lot of NBA heads have been saying that, like,
Speaker 1: Luca is ascendant, Luca is going to be one of
Speaker 1: the um best players in the league for a long time,
Speaker 1: and this could be that moment where like suddenly he's
Speaker 1: in the finals. Uh, he's up against the Golden State
Speaker 1: Warriors next. So I mean, this is a very exciting
Speaker 1: I don't know that an exciting final four. The final
Speaker 1: four is Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, the Golden State Warriors,
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Mavericks and um, I'm pumped, pumped man,
Speaker 1: all right. And then Jeff Bezos is trending because I
Speaker 1: don't know he paid to be Well, we'll see. He's
Speaker 1: out here tweeting like hot takes like he's been watching
Speaker 1: Elon Musk with a pitness stomach, Like how do it?
Speaker 1: All right? And so his debut is a like weird
Speaker 1: like takedown of um, the Biden administration and you know,
Speaker 1: making a claim like everybody knows rich people don't cause inflation, um,
Speaker 1: and people are like, sure, you can't just like be
Speaker 1: all casual with one tweet and people are like he's

Speaker 1: that's all he needs to hear that more. I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna like I need to become like

Speaker 1: And nobody likes you. Hate to tell this to you.
Speaker 1: Everybody hates you, and nobody's willing to say it just

Speaker 1: a headline that no longer just content with you know,
Speaker 1: burning man. Now psychedelics and psychedelic gurus are going to
Speaker 1: Davos um So that is both very interesting and maybe
Speaker 1: too depressing. But I don't know, somebody needs to go
Speaker 1: undercovers like a psychedelic guru and like watch these people
Speaker 1: trip and just really just yeah yeah, and but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna like get in their heads and be like remember

Speaker 1: man as a billionaire, Like, let's just let's learn those
Speaker 1: head winds into tail winds. Man. Hey, that's yeah. I
Speaker 1: feel like this could be done. Somebody needs to do it.
Speaker 1: This is a look, that's a free script for somebody. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's on the blacklist for sure. Um alright, let's say
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back
Speaker 1: and there will be a hearing in Congress for the
Speaker 1: first time in fifty years that we'll discuss UFOs and
Speaker 1: exttress real life. So that's happening. We'll see there's a
Speaker 1: UFO expert according to the Sun, so you know it's
Speaker 1: a guy from ancient Aliens. They are turned up. They're saying,
Speaker 1: this is a big fucking deal. This is what the
Speaker 1: people in UFO Twitter have been asking for UFO transparency.
Speaker 1: I would just caution that, like we I think they
Speaker 1: were issuing a report that was like specifically designed to
Speaker 1: offer UFO transparency and didn't happen. So I doubt it's
Speaker 1: going to happen on the floor of Congress and conversation
Speaker 1: other than people saying very common sense things about we
Speaker 1: gotta figure out what these freaking things are. Am I right?
Speaker 1: Spooky huh, spooky little fucker's yeah, all right, uh alright. Portola, Yeah,
Speaker 1: port Portola is trending. It's a dude from the people
Speaker 1: who brought you Coachella. They said, San Francisco, you need
Speaker 1: a new music festival, and it's a reference to the
Speaker 1: Portola Festival. I think that happened like right after the
Speaker 1: terrible earthquake, like in nineteen o six, so there's like
Speaker 1: there's a festival after it was rebuilt in nineteen o nine.
Speaker 1: I think that's what the references to. Um. But it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty standard, uh festival fair when you look
Speaker 1: at the lineups, but definitely I'm more on the like
Speaker 1: DJ electronics side, you know, like Flume, k Tronada, Jamie
Speaker 1: x X. But then you have people like Jungle, uh
Speaker 1: m I A Toro, Imoi, James Blake, the Chemical Brothers
Speaker 1: for tet. I'm like, this sounds like my iPod from
Speaker 1: like two thousand and eleven, right, so sure, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a big, big, big lineup DJ Shadow to the
Speaker 1: Berries very ill. So yeah. In researching the guy who
Speaker 1: founded coach Ella and like this New Yorker writer like
Speaker 1: followed him around. Well, he was trying to do some
Speaker 1: It wasn't stagecoach wasn't Coachell. It was like some classic
Speaker 1: rock version of Coachella. But one thing that he said
Speaker 1: was like people expect you to come with like immaculate
Speaker 1: sound now because they've been just listening to DJs for
Speaker 1: so long and DJs just show up and like press
Speaker 1: play and then everybody you know, um, and so it
Speaker 1: just feels like they're looking for opportunities to do that.
Speaker 1: But doesn't I mean this go already have like a
Speaker 1: one of the best outdoor music festival, like I love
Speaker 1: outside lands. Yeah, it's huge, um, and Golden Gate Park
Speaker 1: is beautiful and you know. I mean, like all things,
Speaker 1: it ends up being like a cool like sort of
Speaker 1: smaller thing gets bigger and bigger and then it's like
Speaker 1: welcome to corporate weed Town in the outside Lands festival. Um.
Speaker 1: But I think just in general, you know, like these acts,
Speaker 1: like electronic acts, they just I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: it's so many people like are like, yeah, dude, we're
Speaker 1: gonna fucking party and listen to fucking Flume, you know,
Speaker 1: And I think that's like replaced, like following the grateful
Speaker 1: debt around is like doing Molly like at a gen
Speaker 1: x X show something. Um. But yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: get it the the the way that most people taking
Speaker 1: their music now, Like you see a lot of live
Speaker 1: bands and you can count on your hand the ones
Speaker 1: that sound like super great live or like the album.
Speaker 1: But that's also the fun of it, because sometimes artists
Speaker 1: offer you a completely different experience from their lives. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And finally, cst O is trending Collective Security Treaty Organization
Speaker 1: Russia's military alliance and get in Belarus, Armenia, kazakh Stan,
Speaker 1: herzik Stan and yeah they and apparently it's like just
Speaker 1: like Lukashenko from belaruss like just yelling at everybody else
Speaker 1: and like, guys, we should have united against the West
Speaker 1: to protect Russia. And it's just felt like, oh, is
Speaker 1: this are you just this is all performative for Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin and like the news to like try and create
Speaker 1: some sense of like, you know, rum the same page
Speaker 1: to get absolutely involved in an armed conflict that is
Speaker 1: going terribly for the strongest of the nations in this alliance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that inspired a lot of people have been like,
Speaker 1: we need to go to their aid. Also, this isn't
Speaker 1: really a strong alliance, it turns out. But yeah, this
Speaker 1: is like it's just a lot of you know, Lukashenko
Speaker 1: saying stuff. It's like followers of the Nazis are obsessed
Speaker 1: with the idea of revenge, but they are not ready
Speaker 1: to fight openly against the heirs of the Soviet people.
Speaker 1: Mhm huh okay. So you know, is this the timeline?
Speaker 1: Is this a similar timeline or did did the US
Speaker 1: before they invaded Iraq like get like kind of twist
Speaker 1: everybody's arm until they would agree that they were like
Speaker 1: the Coalition of the Willing that was what they named that, right,
Speaker 1: the Coalition of the Willing. That was just that's branding.
Speaker 1: But that's the worst branding coalition of the begrudging other
Speaker 1: nations that like, you, dude, really article five and calling
Speaker 1: it right right now calling it article five, dude. But
Speaker 1: it's funny. It's um interesting that like this is happening
Speaker 1: after the after things are like bogged down. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what happened in I Rock. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't remember. Um well, I mean it's it's so chaotic
Speaker 1: because I mean, at this point, it's like we're just
Speaker 1: we're dealing with the aftermath of that terrible, terrible fucking
Speaker 1: operation or invasions. Yeah that now it's like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it was so fucked up and they lied the whole
Speaker 1: time on the way there. It's that's what I'll that's
Speaker 1: what I'll tell him that my grandchildren were and were
Speaker 1: in the desert waste lands of what used to be
Speaker 1: to Panga Candy, right, Um, alright, well, those are some
