Speaker 1: Oh, hello Internet, And if you're hearing my voice, that
Speaker 1: means it's time for the Trending Episode a k. This
Speaker 1: episode or this edition of trend row Chronologists. Um, I'm Miles.
Speaker 1: I'm joined by superproducer An Holson. Yeah, hello, Hannah, how
Speaker 1: are you hi? There? She is, she's she's she's full
Speaker 1: up on her mickey juice, and we're here to tell
Speaker 1: you what is trending today on God's Green Earth or
Speaker 1: whatever you call this thing, this flat disc spinning through
Speaker 1: this guy. First up, we got Wu Tang album is
Speaker 1: trending because I don't know if you remember Martin Screlly,
Speaker 1: that hedge fund fucking coon who like upp the brice
Speaker 1: on pharmaceuticals to like just make himself a very wealthy person. Overnight,
Speaker 1: he bought like a one of one copy of a
Speaker 1: Wu Tang album that was not released, and it was
Speaker 1: like over two million dollars, and people were like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck is going on with this? He had to
Speaker 1: sell it today or not he had, so the government
Speaker 1: stray seized it from him as part of the uh part,
Speaker 1: you know, the lawsuit that he lost against you know,
Speaker 1: for all of his financial nonsense. And then they auctioned
Speaker 1: it and it got over two million dollars and it
Speaker 1: went to a mystery buyer. So, and how are you
Speaker 1: did you do? You know? What do you know? Who?
Speaker 1: About it? Was? He you? So who where does that
Speaker 1: money go to pay for his like yeah, like the
Speaker 1: damages basically that. Yeah, so they're like, okay, well can
Speaker 1: He was sort of like I don't have any money though,
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, you have a two million dollar
Speaker 1: Wou Tang album, so we'll take that and we'll you know,
Speaker 1: liquidate that. Um. But yeah, I think he some like
Speaker 1: seven point four million or something that he goes. I
Speaker 1: imagine it's some like white geriatric millennial who made money
Speaker 1: and like the tech game and loves hip hop and
Speaker 1: loves the sneaker game and sometimes says problematic shipped to
Speaker 1: his people of color friends. That's why I imagine about it.
Speaker 1: But End points to the fact that he can he
Speaker 1: knows every Wou Tang lyric to be like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: not racist, bro, Like, if I was racist, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: like Woo Tang. I'm pretty sure that's how racism. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, and we know we all know a
Speaker 1: guy like that just it's just really holding on to
Speaker 1: how how rich and cool he is because his interests
Speaker 1: are so hip, and you're like, man, go fund yourself.
Speaker 1: What is Jeff Bezos? I never saw Jeff Bezos wearing Jordan's.
Speaker 1: I'd be like that checks out if I saw. I'm
Speaker 1: wondering if Jeff bezos Is brand is so like what
Speaker 1: it would do if he just started rocking Jordan's, If
Speaker 1: he could slowly devalue Jordan's by wearing them all the
Speaker 1: time where people go Jeff Bezos wears those bro that
Speaker 1: would be interesting, interesting experiment for those out there, or
Speaker 1: who could be I mean, because Mark Wahlberg is already
Speaker 1: an interesting Jordan's follower. He has his own like they've
Speaker 1: made custom Jordan's for him to add the jordan brand.
Speaker 1: But I also just look at the way he is
Speaker 1: his pants with it, and I'm like, damn, they almost
Speaker 1: don't even look like cool shoes like that, it is
Speaker 1: what it is. Um. Bob oden Kirk is also trending
Speaker 1: because what happened. He collapsed or something. Yeah, he collapsed
Speaker 1: on the set of Better Call Stall and they had
Speaker 1: to rush him to the hospital. But we don't have
Speaker 1: any more information other than that. I mean, hoping he
Speaker 1: feels he you know, I'm sure he'll get through it.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what happened. Yeah, hoping for the
Speaker 1: best for old Bob. I hope he's doing okay, because
Speaker 1: the last time I saw him he was making me
Speaker 1: laugh and that Tim Robinson show. Oh he's got you
Speaker 1: know what he's got. He's got all those cars. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think Ashley Ray or somebody was tweeting it's like,
Speaker 1: don't worry about Bob oden kirk dide. He's got a
Speaker 1: beautiful wife, he doesn't live in a hotel, he's got
Speaker 1: doubles of the Nova. Like, he'll be okay. But I
Speaker 1: hope that he he actually is fine. I remember from
Speaker 1: that bit was his tinted glass and then he think
Speaker 1: he was just had all those cars. That's all I remember. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he has all those cars, doubles of the Barracuda. Okay,
Speaker 1: Actually I got triples, actually yeah, yeah, I got triples now.
Speaker 1: And I don't live in a hotel and he doesn't
Speaker 1: live in a hotel. Um next up, Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: for sure, you you don't. Um. Moron McCarthy is trending
Speaker 1: because Nancy Pelosi. You know, there's a new mask mandate
Speaker 1: in Congress. You know, they're saying, we have the delta
Speaker 1: variant coming through here, we need to be really careful.
Speaker 1: We've had a number of members test positive and we
Speaker 1: have to bring masks in because we're dealing with groups
Speaker 1: of people who are not vaccinated in this building, plus variants,
Speaker 1: so we need to wear masks to protect everyone. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: if there's a pandemic still happening, you should still be
Speaker 1: wearing a mask anyway. Um So, because of that, obviously
Speaker 1: the GOP members through a fucking fit, and it was
Speaker 1: doing stuff like now wearing their masks to be cheeky
Speaker 1: and make their point that they believe that they know
Speaker 1: more about science because because immune system and even system
Speaker 1: well you know, that's that's the battle cry. And Kevin McCarthy,
Speaker 1: the minority leader, he was like, oh, this is so dumb,
Speaker 1: like we should you know. It just had all this
Speaker 1: criticism of it, despite again people losing their lives because
Speaker 1: we were still in a pandemic. And Nancy Pelosi again
Speaker 1: this is there's some pushback. Some people don't know if
Speaker 1: she actually said this, but apparently when she was getting
Speaker 1: in her suv to be whisked away to some ice
Speaker 1: cream party or wherever she goes after work. They were like, oh,
Speaker 1: what do you think of Kevin McCarthy, You know this
Speaker 1: spicy's talking And she said he's such a moron and
Speaker 1: then hopped in the whip and scared it out of there. Um,
Speaker 1: so that's I believe she said it, because she seems
Speaker 1: like the type to just try and get a little
Speaker 1: quick one in and then be jab. No one knows
Speaker 1: if I really said it. That seems upper Alley to
Speaker 1: be like, I never said that. Um. But and then
Speaker 1: now it's just turned into like a lot of people
Speaker 1: just being like yeah, and he's also like a bad guy.
Speaker 1: He's also more on and this is like one of
Speaker 1: those tired as trends you see. Um but yes, that's
Speaker 1: that's them now, and that's where they are. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back with
Speaker 1: some more trains, and we're back. Arthur is trending? Why
Speaker 1: because after what twenty five years on this set, he
Speaker 1: is now being canceled. I mean not yes, he's being canceled,
Speaker 1: and not the cool kind though, the original kind of
Speaker 1: cancelation where a network says no more money for you,
Speaker 1: goodbye and yeah, PBS is done. I have a theory.
Speaker 1: Yes this is all now this is this is Anna's
Speaker 1: q and on corner, and I believe. I believe that
Speaker 1: because we canceled Chrissie Teagan, John Legend has decided to
Speaker 1: take Arthur away from us because go down this hole
Speaker 1: with us. Why one was constantly trolling John Legend with
Speaker 1: the Arthur fist and saying he looked like Arthur. And
Speaker 1: every time he'd get mad about being called you know, Arthur,
Speaker 1: they would always post the fist to be like, look
Speaker 1: how mad he is just like Arthur. So once we
Speaker 1: canceled Chrissy, he decided that he was going to take
Speaker 1: away our beloved author. So I believe he is behind this.
Speaker 1: I mean, this makes sense. I'm looking at an article
Speaker 1: from l dot com um E L L E, so
Speaker 1: you know it's legit from the Year of Our Lord
Speaker 1: twenty team, where says the headline Chrissy Teagan pushed John
Speaker 1: Legend over his limit with these trolling art their memes.
Speaker 1: Now there's you know, when you look at it again,
Speaker 1: Chrissie Teagan. She loves to funk with people on the
Speaker 1: internet sometimes in terrible ways and sometimes in ways or
Speaker 1: you just you know your husband's hates being compared to Arthur,
Speaker 1: and you say, fuck it, I'm going in on these memes. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She kept going, commenting on stuff, uh, comparing him to Arthur.
Speaker 1: And then at a certain point, um like John Mayer
Speaker 1: was hopping in talking shit about John Legend. And then
Speaker 1: at a certain way, he comes in the comments of
Speaker 1: this post and says, enough is enough, Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry we didn't know. So original post is her daughter,
Speaker 1: Christtagan's daughter holding a Arthur doll, and I believe Chris
Speaker 1: Atagen wrote Luna and Daddy or something like yeah it
Speaker 1: was yeah, she said. Then later on she said, in
Speaker 1: that post, he said, this is my childhood Arthur doll.
Speaker 1: My mom has kept it all this time. Maybe I've
Speaker 1: been attracted to Arthur my whole life and now I
Speaker 1: found my real life human one. Then like vet Nicole
Speaker 1: Brown is like tagging John Legend with like the crying
Speaker 1: emoji feel like you leave them below, And then he
Speaker 1: just posted after that comment, He's just posted wow. And
Speaker 1: then she kept going and I say, hey, hey, what
Speaker 1: a wonderful kind of day where we can learn to
Speaker 1: laugh and play along with each other. You've got to
Speaker 1: listen to your heart, listen to the beat, listen to
Speaker 1: the rhythm, the rhythm of the street. And again, it's
Speaker 1: happy to do it John Legend. So again, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe I think there is some some truth maybe to
Speaker 1: John Legend. At least we'll see if he does something
Speaker 1: with PBS. I would look at the deal and figure
Speaker 1: out what's going on there. He said, enough is enough
Speaker 1: unless you can get that money flowing. Yeah. Do you
Speaker 1: did you watch Arthur grown up? Oh? Yeah, so much
Speaker 1: before school every morning before I went to school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was it. What was Arthur? I was too I'm
Speaker 1: too old for Arthur. I mean I know about it,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, like what what the funk his
Speaker 1: disposition was, what his vibe was. It's just a nice guy.
Speaker 1: He was a guy. He's an aunt eater. Um. He
Speaker 1: was friendly, he had friends, he had a little sister,
Speaker 1: just be going to school doing his thing. I don't
Speaker 1: remember clearly. That's all I really remember. He was just
Speaker 1: a pleasant aunt eater. Oh he's an art varka. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You don't want aunt eater Twitter coming for us, um,
Speaker 1: because they don't funk around next up trending is Luciana Alvarado,
Speaker 1: who is a Costa Rican gymnast, and she essentially okay, so,
Speaker 1: you know, like in the Olympics, there was this whole
Speaker 1: thing about there like, yo, no fucking protesting, don't do
Speaker 1: any fucking podium like blm, you know, raising your fists,
Speaker 1: taking a knee type stuff. We just won't stand for
Speaker 1: that at all. Well, um, this gymnast from Costa Rica,
Speaker 1: she essentially found a loophole by saying like, look, I
Speaker 1: don't have to do it on like the podium, um um,
Speaker 1: because they said there's this there's an Olympic Charter Rule
Speaker 1: fifty that says the IOC prohibits any athlete protest or
Speaker 1: political demonstration on the field of play or metal ceremony.
Speaker 1: But she uh found a way by sort of making
Speaker 1: the taking a knee and raising a fist part of
Speaker 1: her routine. Um, so she sort of incorporated it as
Speaker 1: part of her gymnastics routine. And so she got to
Speaker 1: do there and have this like wonderful picture of her,
Speaker 1: you know, taking a knee and having her fist raised
Speaker 1: and things like that. So you know, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people were like, oh, look at that someone
Speaker 1: just she found a way to have her message still
Speaker 1: despite the IOC being like, don't bring attention to anything
Speaker 1: that's going on in the world, especially the low ratings
Speaker 1: on the opening ceremony that they say were the worst
Speaker 1: in decades. I don't even know when it happened. When
Speaker 1: h it happened a while ago. I think I think
Speaker 1: it may have happen a couple of days ago, so
Speaker 1: or maybe yesterday. So yeah, it's it's hard to know.
Speaker 1: But the time delay likes we're in Japan time, and
Speaker 1: it's it's it's I haven't seng. I haven't seen one
Speaker 1: thing live. I've only caught YouTube things. But it's it's
Speaker 1: making me mad though, like that they still did the Olympics,
Speaker 1: because part of it is like you want it to
Speaker 1: be fun and just with no fans there, it just
Speaker 1: feels so weird because don't I'm not I'm not vibing
Speaker 1: with it, but I like to see people achieve things, Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna take it take it out on
Speaker 1: the athletes. Have you been watching anything You've been watching
Speaker 1: basketball with just shading balding Iranian basketball players. No, look,
Speaker 1: I love the Iran team and I just think it's
Speaker 1: great that they were there, and you know, I yeah,
Speaker 1: I only watched one thing, which was the Iran vers
Speaker 1: US basketball game, because I was just curious. Um and
Speaker 1: Iran didn't do well obviously, but you know what, I
Speaker 1: think they were all just happy to be there because
Speaker 1: it's like a cool event. And you know, like when
Speaker 1: you live in Iran, it's very hard to like, you're
Speaker 1: you're not gonna come face to face with Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: and Iran no, So I think it was just cool
Speaker 1: that they got to go um and be there and
Speaker 1: just compete against some of the greatest basketball players. You know,
Speaker 1: they lost by like half, what's happen? Like they they
Speaker 1: only scored half the points the US did, isn't Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know what happens. Look, you know they hit
Speaker 1: they hit some threes. I was impressed by Yeah, look,
Speaker 1: you know what they were doing with them and that
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. That's the only thing I watched. I
Speaker 1: have watched some skateboarding on Instagram because the cool young
Speaker 1: girls skateboarders have been really blow in my mind from
Speaker 1: like Japan and Brazil. I've really loved watching them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of um yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of good stuff happening. Do you when you watch do
Speaker 1: you ever check out, like you got to keep an
Speaker 1: eye out for Iran and stuff in Olympics just you know,
Speaker 1: out of just kind of you know, the cultural heritage. Um,
Speaker 1: because I grew up always watching the Olympics, like in
Speaker 1: being in Japan. I was never in the States when
Speaker 1: the Olympics are happening because I was just mostly in
Speaker 1: Japan those times, and so a lot of my memories
Speaker 1: of the Olympics are like being with my family, like
Speaker 1: waking up early just to like cheer on you know,
Speaker 1: just like bygone judo athletes and things like that. So
Speaker 1: part of me, like that started activating with me, even
Speaker 1: though I was like, I'm not really watching it. I
Speaker 1: didn't see the opening ceremony, but like YouTube clips started
Speaker 1: being like watch you know, uh Nishimmiji, like the thirteen
Speaker 1: year old like win Olympic goal, and I was like, well, fun,
Speaker 1: I watched that ship, let me see that, and then
Speaker 1: I'd start crying and stuff. No. I mean, I I
Speaker 1: watched like basketball because I enjoy watching basketball, but like
Speaker 1: I'm not really like, I don't know, I don't like
Speaker 1: love the Olympics. Yeah, it's hard for me to like,
Speaker 1: I'm just not like, I'm not trying to watch people swim, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you've reduced that, you reduced Olympics for me,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to watch people swim. These people on
Speaker 1: a job, it's a it's a marathon. I don't know,
Speaker 1: people running through the streets, like you could just see
Speaker 1: that out your window. Oh yeah, I'm just like it
Speaker 1: just makes me like, damn, I wish I wasn't a pool. Well,
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about pools. So I want
Speaker 1: to swim, and I don't like the idea of watching
Speaker 1: other people swim because then I'm just jealous. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, It's basketball is fun because you know, it's basketball.
Speaker 1: I've been watching that my whole life. So I like
Speaker 1: to watch, you know, other teams play. It's interesting like
Speaker 1: watching just like how they play. Like that's cool because
Speaker 1: every country is kind of different. I mean, obviously there's
Speaker 1: the same skills of like dribbling, shooting, you know obviously,
Speaker 1: but everyone has their own thing going on, and I
Speaker 1: just I enjoy watching that. What about women's rugby played
Speaker 1: women's rugby? Oh I have like I don't want to get.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't like watching people get like fucked up
Speaker 1: and like hit just injuries, and oh yeah, it takes
Speaker 1: me back a little too much that I don't you know,
Speaker 1: I put all that behind me when I chose to
Speaker 1: smoke weed instead of being physical, so I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to go back to that headst and it actually does.
Speaker 1: It does take me back, and I feel like exhilarated,
Speaker 1: but I also get like anxious right right right, because
Speaker 1: you just feel the potential for injury constantly. Are just
Speaker 1: like the stress of a game coming on and knowing
Speaker 1: you have to be like fully in the right mindset
Speaker 1: and ready to go. So for you, you're like you're flashback,
Speaker 1: You're like going there, You're not you can't even watch
Speaker 1: just being like, oh, these who were competing. It's like
Speaker 1: it's activating all these sort of like processes internally that
Speaker 1: you would experience when you were playing. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm naturally very anxious person. So back in the day
Speaker 1: when I would be playing sports like that, and then
Speaker 1: like when I would play sports at like a higher
Speaker 1: level like I did in college that was like d
Speaker 1: one playing rugby, like I really it took me a
Speaker 1: while like I couldn't really talk to people before games,
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't super relaxed. I had to like just
Speaker 1: like focus and be like I just need to stay
Speaker 1: calm and champion and not get my no, not at all.
Speaker 1: But I'm just so anxious that I would get really
Speaker 1: nervous before a game and then like it's like I
Speaker 1: don't want to go in like like tripping basically like
Speaker 1: fumbling around. It's like, you know, I have to get
Speaker 1: my my I would basically quite just to calm myself
Speaker 1: and be like, it's not that big a deal if
Speaker 1: you don't win. It's not that big a deal if
Speaker 1: you get your ass fucking handed to you, like just
Speaker 1: keep moving right, Okay, Well, and I think I would
Speaker 1: get my ass handed to me a lot, dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. It's like anyone comes out of a
Speaker 1: rugby base Okay, Like I used to get my ass
Speaker 1: handed to me because I just you know, sometimes you're
Speaker 1: week And it's also just a hyper physical sport too,
Speaker 1: like it's bear's barely any protection with the gear and
Speaker 1: you're there to just fucking fun. Sit up. And then
Speaker 1: some of those girls they bring the energy of like
Speaker 1: I will kill you and ye worth it. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: like all the reasons I stopped because some girl will
Speaker 1: be like you bitch on the field, and I'd be like,
Speaker 1: why can we just compete? Like I don't have to,
Speaker 1: like why are you so aggro? Like I get that
Speaker 1: we're tackling each other, but there's no real reason like
Speaker 1: you to be like calling me a bit, dug your
Speaker 1: nails into the side of my neck, like close to
Speaker 1: my juggular, like it was very feels very excessive. Whatever
Speaker 1: mother likes if we don't have to be like ship
Speaker 1: talking to that extent, like, let's just play the game.
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. Honorable honorable in competition.
Speaker 1: And finally, the hashtag Love is Blind after the altar
Speaker 1: is trending because I guess Netflix has done a follow
Speaker 1: up to their first show that came out in the
Speaker 1: beginning of Love Is Blind, where like all those people
Speaker 1: were just like talking through like a wall to each
Speaker 1: other and not seeing each other and then like meeting
Speaker 1: finally and then navigating what it was going to be
Speaker 1: like to get married. And so yes, they have done
Speaker 1: a special checking in with like some of those contestants.
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, isn't the new season coming out,
Speaker 1: I was a little confused what was happening. But I'm
Speaker 1: just glad to see that that one interracial couple that
Speaker 1: like who was clearly like the one like couple that
Speaker 1: seemed to actually be doing well. They are still doing well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's all it take. Yeah, what are their
Speaker 1: names saying? Cameron and Lauren and Cameron, Lauren and Cameron
Speaker 1: there you Yeah, they're great. Yeah, And so there's like
Speaker 1: a bunch of I guess a bunch of people have
Speaker 1: other things to bring up, I guess. Uh So I'll
Speaker 1: probably tune in, but it's been so long since I
Speaker 1: watched the original, Like I'm hoping I don't forget all
Speaker 1: this stuff because you know, we watch so much damn
Speaker 1: reality half the time. Actually, you know what, I do
Speaker 1: a good job of never getting the things mixed up.
Speaker 1: So all right, well that's gonna do it for today.
Speaker 1: Uh check us out tomorrow. We got a whole episode,
Speaker 1: you know, and you know what, Jack will be there too,
Speaker 1: you know. But until then, make sure you're wear a mask.
Speaker 1: Don't do nothing about white supremacy, you know, fucking take
Speaker 1: can handle that ship head on. Don't let that ship
Speaker 1: abide around you also be look out for each other.
Speaker 1: Man wear a mask, get vaccinated. It's just this is
Speaker 1: the only way we're going to survive as people if
Speaker 1: we can adopt a mentality of you know, uh, just
Speaker 1: a mutual collaboration and and love for one another. But
Speaker 1: until then, that is that is it for now. Thank
Speaker 1: you Anna for being here, and I guess I'll see
Speaker 1: you tomorrow and the next day. By H
