Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to this edition of Trendery Stark
Speaker 1: or trend Rey Baraffian, Lord of winter Fell. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know from Game of Thrones, sken Dry. Come on now,
Speaker 1: he's the bastelard of King Robert. I'm Miles. That's Anna,
Speaker 1: super producer, and we're here to tell you what is trending.
Speaker 1: The first thing is trending is a messy not in
Speaker 1: the kind that we like to watch when Anna and
Speaker 1: I might be watching a reality show on Bravo or
Speaker 1: does any show, but m e s s i as
Speaker 1: an Lionel Messi one of the greatest soccer players of
Speaker 1: all time, um, if not the greatest ever depending on
Speaker 1: who you ask. He is leaving Barcelona and that is
Speaker 1: sending shock waves through the soccer world because he's I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure he's signed with them when he was like eleven,
Speaker 1: and he has never played for another team. So I
Speaker 1: get if it's like almost seeing you know, like Kobe
Speaker 1: where a different jersey or watching or like when Matt
Speaker 1: or who's that other guy Michael Jordan's at his name,
Speaker 1: yeah and we start are playing for the Wizards. It's
Speaker 1: just the thing that will be very I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people will get you know, have to take
Speaker 1: some time getting used to seeing. But the problem is
Speaker 1: Barcelona has no money so they can't pay him, so
Speaker 1: they're just there's so many of these teams in Europe.
Speaker 1: They just take on all this debt and just like
Speaker 1: keep competing with each other to sign like these more
Speaker 1: bloated and bloated contracts. Which is why it's like the
Speaker 1: same five teams that are doing well now because it's
Speaker 1: just who has the most money. But the Spanish teams,
Speaker 1: especially Barcelona, like they have a lot of financial trouble,
Speaker 1: Like they have players that are so expensive that they
Speaker 1: can't keep them. But then other teams are like, I
Speaker 1: can't afford to take this player either, so you want
Speaker 1: me to do and they're like please, we don't know.
Speaker 1: Um Messy even agreed to a fifty pay cut and
Speaker 1: they still can't come up with it. That's another reason
Speaker 1: why that's Super League. They they have it's it's like
Speaker 1: going to trickle in in dribs and drabs. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they've they have not done well financially. Oh I don't
Speaker 1: get it. There's a whole there's a whole video about it.
Speaker 1: It's just going into these player contracts because just keep
Speaker 1: paying players more and more, in paying clubs more and
Speaker 1: more to like get these players, and it just becomes
Speaker 1: and on top of it, if you're not winning the
Speaker 1: top prizes anymore, the prize money starts to dwindle and
Speaker 1: then it's like you're just trying to keep up with
Speaker 1: everybody but going broke. So no Messy at Barcelona unless
Speaker 1: something changes drastically. But even the team from their official
Speaker 1: account was like, Messi's out of here, folks. He's a
Speaker 1: free agent, they said, due to financial obstacles. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: if you want, you can play on my team. Hey,
Speaker 1: you want to play, you can. You can be captain
Speaker 1: if you want. Actually now I'm gonna be captain, but
Speaker 1: you can play. You'll start if you come play. Fox
Speaker 1: Hates Cops is a hashtag that's also trending right now,
Speaker 1: and you're like, what the fuck I mean? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: you know, conservatives, they only talk about blue Lives mattering
Speaker 1: when it's opposed to you know, black lives or just
Speaker 1: people who are protesting um. But this Blue Lives Matter
Speaker 1: or sort of Fox hates cop Cops thing is trending
Speaker 1: because there was an ad that Fox was offered or
Speaker 1: you know, people are like, hey, we'd like to run
Speaker 1: this out on Fox News. It's about the testimony from
Speaker 1: Capitol Police about the January six insurrection, and you know
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk about that. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe we can put that on there. They said, no,
Speaker 1: we're not doing it. Uh. And then when they ask well,
Speaker 1: why won't you Like usually they'll have something in writing
Speaker 1: that will say why they won't air the ad. Fox
Speaker 1: won't even respond in writing, they'll just say no. So
Speaker 1: then they're like, I mean this is where the twitter
Speaker 1: fingered of the world go. The most hye cops, then
Speaker 1: they probably hyte cops. But yeah, I mean it's clearly
Speaker 1: they don't. They can't put something out there that like
Speaker 1: has a narrative that shows that their own viewers or
Speaker 1: domestic terrorists. So yeah, there's that. So that's why it's trending,
Speaker 1: aside from the fact that I mean realistically they don't
Speaker 1: care about anything except for conservative speaking of police. Phoenix
Speaker 1: police is trending because the Department of us this is
Speaker 1: saying we're going to investigate the Phoenix Police and the
Speaker 1: City of Phoenix specifically into things of if they engage
Speaker 1: in discriminatory policing deadly force, and if they engage in
Speaker 1: retaliatory activity against those protected by the First Amendment. Sounds
Speaker 1: like that, go ahead and say probably to a lot
Speaker 1: of that. I think most people are like, what happens
Speaker 1: when they find all this ship? Then what? Because I
Speaker 1: think we're used to people being investigated bringing a lot
Speaker 1: of things to light. And then it's like, all right,
Speaker 1: well they paid a fine and they promised not to
Speaker 1: say the N word. Uh so I think everything's fine here.
Speaker 1: I think we're good. Here's gonna be gone and be
Speaker 1: like it turns out, yeah, they do all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Would you believe it? But then what else? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just shocked, y'all can't believe it. This is this
Speaker 1: is an outrage, all right, let's uh yeah, like really, um,
Speaker 1: but who else? I mean, we'll see what this Department
Speaker 1: of Justice, how they're built, We'll see what happens. Um.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's I'm sure you could do a
Speaker 1: lot of investigations and find a lot of things at
Speaker 1: a lot of different police departments. But again, that's the
Speaker 1: big news for the state of Arizona. Okay, let's uh
Speaker 1: take a quick break, pay some bills, and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and tell you what else is trending, and we're back.
Speaker 1: The next thing that's trending is as a floridian um,
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, where is this going? Um, because
Speaker 1: usually we heard that like in the wake of Me Too,
Speaker 1: or like men were like as the father of a daughter,
Speaker 1: I think I know how bad misogyny can be. But
Speaker 1: this one is straight up as a Floridian And it's
Speaker 1: a lot of people just like being like, we hate
Speaker 1: Rhonda santis Um. He's driving this state into the ground,
Speaker 1: and in a way that is completely like, you know,
Speaker 1: obvious and intentional, because a lot of people are just like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're looking at almost forty thousand COVID deaths
Speaker 1: I think in the state there, and it's not getting
Speaker 1: any better. Um. Taylor Swift is trending because I guess
Speaker 1: she's got a new album out or something called Red
Speaker 1: and she uploaded some like puzzle thing to her account. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about much about Taylor Swift. I
Speaker 1: just know that she got a new album out or
Speaker 1: she's about to have a new album out. Um, So
Speaker 1: there's that. Apparently there was some kind of vault that
Speaker 1: people were saying they accessed and yeah, there's that. So
Speaker 1: it's it's like vault music, or it's what's vault music?
Speaker 1: I don't know music from the vault. I guess I don't.
Speaker 1: She just said it was the I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: her version Taylor's version of Red? Is that one of
Speaker 1: the old albums? Oh, it's part of her like redo
Speaker 1: to like rerecorded album. See, I just figured it out,
Speaker 1: um got it. So yeah, she's got she's got her
Speaker 1: own versions coming out. That's the one that has like
Speaker 1: the Jake Jillen Hall song on it, right, I think. So,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's like the one thing I know
Speaker 1: about Taylor Swift and there it is, boom. I exhausted
Speaker 1: all of my t Swift energy, um and knowledge. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the fans are happy, uh and very excited, so you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to them. And it sucks that she has
Speaker 1: to re record her albums, I know. So, I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I know Taylor Swift exists, but I know so little
Speaker 1: about her music. Yeah, I mean I know of the music,
Speaker 1: you know, and when it's playing, I'm like, oh, but
Speaker 1: I think that's Taylor. But yeah, other than that, I
Speaker 1: watched that documentary. I heard that was good, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: call yeah, yeah, right right right. I remember you're saying
Speaker 1: it like damn, Like you're like, I kind of feel
Speaker 1: bad for Taylor. I mean I feel bad for anyone
Speaker 1: who chooses to be a pop star. Yeah, there's no
Speaker 1: one who's like has a great life through and through
Speaker 1: when you're a mega pop star and when especially when
Speaker 1: you start young, like that's a tough life. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta look, everyone let your kids be children and then
Speaker 1: forced them into superstardom once they're eight team And then
Speaker 1: last thing that's trending us men's basketball because they barely
Speaker 1: did it. They made it into the gold medal game
Speaker 1: after a very very rocky start. Uh. They beat Slovenia
Speaker 1: and it was a bit of a yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was just a tense affair. But I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people now are feeling relieved. If you saw
Speaker 1: that team and you're like, how are y'all not? Like
Speaker 1: you got Damian Lillard and you got Kevin Durant. What
Speaker 1: is going on? But they did their thing, you know,
Speaker 1: Luka don Chech he had a triple double, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't enough to stop I guess the French
Speaker 1: national team. Um, yeah, I mean last night they beat Australia, right,
Speaker 1: I was like watching it. Yeah, they beat Australia. So
Speaker 1: then that means it's going to be France because Luca
Speaker 1: couldn't do it against it. So I have a question.
Speaker 1: Is Ben Simmons on the Australian team. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know he's Australian, so he playing playing I asked Zach
Speaker 1: last night and he just looks at me like what
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Oh no, he he decided against
Speaker 1: playing for the national team. Oh m hmmm, so not
Speaker 1: even Australia. Yeah. I think he's just probably being like,
Speaker 1: I gotta work on like getting better at basketball, work
Speaker 1: on me. I gotta work on my basketball stuff, I think.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of a test the affair. Last thing
Speaker 1: if you searched Ben Simmons Olympics says, as Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: cuts off communication the Australian basketball teams, they're called the
Speaker 1: Australian Boomers. The Boomers show him what he's missing, Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: Blue merchan Man And yeah, so I mean we'll see
Speaker 1: what do you think? Like France versus the US The
Speaker 1: last time I remember that Vince Carter dunked on that
Speaker 1: guy as a whole family. So we'll see. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I really, I'll be real, I don't know who could
Speaker 1: care less. Yeah, if the US doesn't win gold, how
Speaker 1: about this. But I probably won't know for about a week.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be real. I'm not gonna know. One thing
Speaker 1: I do want to shout out is Gabby Thomas, who's
Speaker 1: an American sprinter. She's just one bro bronze, but she's
Speaker 1: also a fucking like upstanding person. Um. She's like, was
Speaker 1: finishing like a huge I think, like graduate degree, a
Speaker 1: master's degree, um about like health care disparities for black people.
Speaker 1: So she's like just she's doing the most on the
Speaker 1: track and in real life. Um, and it's kind of
Speaker 1: dope when you're like, damn, she graduated Harvard and her
Speaker 1: other goal is to help fix racial disparities in the
Speaker 1: healthcare system. Can us look bad? But anyway, that's what's trending.
Speaker 1: A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging and thanks for everybody listening. We'll see
Speaker 1: you tomorrow with the regular show and then trending again Friday. Um,
Speaker 1: until then, it never ends, as if it never ends,
Speaker 1: like that meme. Can we get a break, Um, get
Speaker 1: the shot, get vaccinated, wear a mask, be careful out there.
Speaker 1: Things aren't not a game right now. Um, and don't
Speaker 1: do anything about any kind of hatred or dumbness. You
Speaker 1: know that's massagyny, homophobia, whitemac anything, xenophobia. Fucking say somebody like, hey,
Speaker 1: knock that off. You know what. Then you're saying we should,
Speaker 1: we should as part of our merch create like would boards.
