Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of October
Speaker 1: trendy four, because and that that's courtesy of one Miles Gray.
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Yes, that is me And I'm god,
Speaker 1: I'm just grinding stuff on my wall. So if you
Speaker 1: hear loud, no, it's all part of the show. It's
Speaker 1: all part of the show. You're getting your haunted house
Speaker 1: ready here just like a big holes in the walls
Speaker 1: and people like, oh no, you live here. I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's spooky, right, Welcome. Yeah, we're a week out baby.
Speaker 1: Should we start with the should we start with the costumes?
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? Why the hell not? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Um, So Google, like this is a
Speaker 1: little thirsty, Like this is kind of embarrassing. But Google
Speaker 1: released their list of the top hundred Halloween costumes. I
Speaker 1: guess it's like this big interactive feature they clearly put
Speaker 1: a lot of time and money and effort into. They
Speaker 1: called it freight Geist. Fuck off. Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: guys are so thirsty. You guys are so fucked because
Speaker 1: we're gonna sue you to fucking hard. Sorry not sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: not sorry, but your your career is over Google. I
Speaker 1: mean we should just change our names now call me
Speaker 1: fucking Sundar peach eye, okay, because I'm running Google now,
Speaker 1: and that over there is Larry Page. Yep, that's the
Speaker 1: other guy. I get the cool nickname Larry Page. So anyways,
Speaker 1: it is a fun little feature to click around on. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, not as fun as listening to this podcast
Speaker 1: listening to us click around on it. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Some things jumped out of me, Miles. One thing that
Speaker 1: jumped out of me was that was weather ballooning it
Speaker 1: to the group before we started recording and got just
Speaker 1: nothing but negative response on a super producer on a
Speaker 1: hose me. It was like, you're really trying to make
Speaker 1: this happen, uh, And I promised, Yes I am, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring it up on the show this theory. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna go through the top uh six
Speaker 1: for us here the top six nationally Halloween costumes number one,
Speaker 1: which number two, Spider Man number three, Dinosaur number four,
Speaker 1: Stranger Things number five, Ferry number six, Pirate. Why are
Speaker 1: you just doing the top six? You want to you
Speaker 1: want to keep going seven nine, Cowboy, ten, Harley Quinn okay,
Speaker 1: Rabbit cheerleader Cowboy Harley Quinn. Okay, so I just like
Speaker 1: number four like stranger Things, and the costumes sounds like
Speaker 1: you ask like you're out of touch. Uncle, what there's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you stranger things? Yeah? What
Speaker 1: do you mean? What is that? But that was like
Speaker 1: at a certain point, like when you get when you
Speaker 1: wear a Halloween costume that's specific, and then like by
Speaker 1: the end of the night, you're just like, I'm strangers man,
Speaker 1: like that because everybody keeps asking you and then being like, oh,
Speaker 1: stranger thing. Um right before you're like I'm vechna and
Speaker 1: they're like what I'm stranger things. Oh wow? Uh. Like
Speaker 1: number thirty, by the way, is Star Wars. Just the
Speaker 1: whole damn thing is number thirty. Um, So I wonder
Speaker 1: how they must have some logic to that where it's
Speaker 1: like if enougher in proximity, they're like fine, if you're
Speaker 1: going to be like eleven or whoever Steve, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Darth Vader is number is in the fifties, but Star
Speaker 1: Wars is in the thirties. Um. So it's very confusing.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things like that, like Chucky is sixteen,
Speaker 1: Doll is seventeen is a doll? What is the what's
Speaker 1: the taxonomy here? How are how are we doing this?
Speaker 1: But I have to say, first of all, this is
Speaker 1: a big l for Star Wars, Like when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, every other person was a Star Wars. Also
Speaker 1: big els for like Batman doesn't come into it until nineteen,
Speaker 1: so like that's the first DC superhero, Spiderman all the
Speaker 1: way at number two. So the thing I wanted to
Speaker 1: say here is that it feels like the iconic characters
Speaker 1: in the top near the top, your Spider's Men, your Dinosaur,
Speaker 1: your pirate have all gotten their big four quadrant blockbuster
Speaker 1: movies because those are the things that little boys are
Speaker 1: obsessed with, which and fairy like, so the other version
Speaker 1: of that for little girls in a lot of cases
Speaker 1: does not get that. Like I was, this made me
Speaker 1: think like we're missing out on like a fairy blockbuster movie.
Speaker 1: Like there there's been Thumbelina which didn't didn't crush into
Speaker 1: the box office and fern Gullie which also it's kind
Speaker 1: of like a deeper cut when it comes to Disney movies.
Speaker 1: And my my theory here and then which like you
Speaker 1: have hocus Pocus, which is legendary and iconic now in retrospect,
Speaker 1: but at the time, like box office wise, it was
Speaker 1: like in the forties, fifty million type thing, like they
Speaker 1: haven't gone. And you could say that like maybe Harry
Speaker 1: Potter like fits in there, because which is a Wizarding
Speaker 1: World like kind of fitting together. But I do feel
Speaker 1: like some Hollywood executive needs to be taking note and
Speaker 1: being like, all right, we are green lighting like movies
Speaker 1: made for girls by women, and like there's you know,
Speaker 1: fairies are pirates, Like pirates got their big movie. For
Speaker 1: a long time, they were just like a thing that
Speaker 1: was easy to dress up as because you you know,
Speaker 1: you can throw on an eyepatch and get a little
Speaker 1: plastic hook. But they got their big, massive movie, and
Speaker 1: they they're just letting Witch and Fairy sit there at
Speaker 1: the top of the list without their big massive thing.
Speaker 1: So that's my that's my pitch. So just to get
Speaker 1: this right, you're saying that are media industrial complex, maybe
Speaker 1: a patriarchy that subscribes to rigid gender. Look, I'm just
Speaker 1: working these ideas out. I don't want to say anything
Speaker 1: too wild or you know, I'm just I'm just hey,
Speaker 1: I just want to get that out there. So we know,
Speaker 1: so everybody knows where we're at as a show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm like still spit on it. You know, it's
Speaker 1: probably crazy, but like vampires, number twelve, Vampires like ruled
Speaker 1: the box office for like an entire deck, like a
Speaker 1: number thirteen nineteen eighties, the nineteen eighties. Yeah, you're dressing this.
Speaker 1: This was like yeah, because like when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I remember it was like hippie or sock hop type clue.
Speaker 1: But now we're like in the number fourteen. So again,
Speaker 1: whiches are so strong that even if you're lifting hocus
Speaker 1: Pocus out of the witch category, there's still number one
Speaker 1: um which again also I can speak from personal experience,
Speaker 1: the witch on my front law my twelve foot tall
Speaker 1: which is a hit. It is. And also they stopping
Speaker 1: their cars coming out taking pictures right and just shout
Speaker 1: out to people who are just going as a horse
Speaker 1: or spider. That's my favorite one, you know what I
Speaker 1: mean what sprinkled throughout here? You have rabbit, which yeah,
Speaker 1: that's cute. You put on a little rabbit, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: but horse is so funny. I'm just trying to like picture,
Speaker 1: what do you fuck a horse? Bro? Horse? I mean
Speaker 1: I get because also there's like it is very online
Speaker 1: Mimi called me, not Mimi but meme culture of like
Speaker 1: where just wearing like the stupid rubber horsehead. Ye, like
Speaker 1: it's just like ship. You see people just being like
Speaker 1: sucking around the background and stuff. So I get horse
Speaker 1: seems low hanging fruit. But hey, do do that or
Speaker 1: chicken too? Yeah, clown is number eleven while Joker is
Speaker 1: number thirty two. When I see clown at number eleven,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I guess that makes sense because every
Speaker 1: literally every other costume of a white teenager that I
Speaker 1: see is either Hardly Quinn or the Joker. But no,
Speaker 1: there they are claiming that clowns, irrespective of Joker costumes,
Speaker 1: are the number eleven most popular costume. Yeah, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: it has to be spooky evil clown right. I don't
Speaker 1: know what I mean because it is also very specifically
Speaker 1: like later on, so yeah, it is on there. Even
Speaker 1: so there's people these are just friendly clowns, like there's
Speaker 1: just do it, okay, cool, y'all get along, Yes we do,
Speaker 1: despite our despite our fundamental differences as people. Um, another
Speaker 1: thing I'm just saying, beetle juice hanging around in the
Speaker 1: top thirty five, despite the fact that you know, that's
Speaker 1: the movie that they haven't rebooted in a while. I'm
Speaker 1: sure that only a musical, so far right the musical,
Speaker 1: But I feel like they're they're going to it feels
Speaker 1: like a character that is in the zeit geist. I'm
Speaker 1: right to be ripe to be rebooted and ruined with
Speaker 1: like Hard Kevin Hard is Beetle, Juice and Ship Oh no,
Speaker 1: dropt spots like Star Wars. Just let it, just let
Speaker 1: it be its own thing. But fine, rebooted, Fine, let's
Speaker 1: see do your worst, Hollywood, you cowards, you cowards, do it,
Speaker 1: do it. I'm right, are you waiting for reboot Field Juice,
Speaker 1: ke Um tinker Bell number twenty six. So Fairies is
Speaker 1: top five even without tanker Bell. Yeah, because Fairies, like
Speaker 1: like I said, it's like some of those certain costumes,
Speaker 1: they just transcend what's been in the media. They're just
Speaker 1: like those very like you know, they're just tropes of
Speaker 1: what Halloween costumes are, like which being on the situation
Speaker 1: is that just like Which and Fairy are like two
Speaker 1: of the first Halloween costumes on the on the shelf
Speaker 1: at Halloween, and that I'm crazy what you called it,
Speaker 1: this woke politicking saying that they should make more movies
Speaker 1: for hey, I'm surprised. Hey, I wish Playboy Bunny was
Speaker 1: higher man, but it is. You know, we're all we're
Speaker 1: all dealing with demographic shifts in our country. You know,
Speaker 1: Rabbit and Playboy Bunny. So Rabbit is number seven irrespective
Speaker 1: of people dressed as Playboy Bunny, right, which is like
Speaker 1: if you're be like, no, I want to embody or
Speaker 1: horribly problematic brand, I think the other thing is too right.
Speaker 1: It's like certain things like which or cowboy or fairy
Speaker 1: or pirate, they're kind of like you if those are
Speaker 1: like for people who like want to dress up, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to put thought into it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. You're not gonna be like, oh wait, what
Speaker 1: fairy do I want to be? Do? I actually actually
Speaker 1: want to be a sprite this year, not a not
Speaker 1: a fairy like I was last time. So I think
Speaker 1: those like they offer people who want to dress up
Speaker 1: just like that, like that very basic palet cow. I
Speaker 1: like that spy ead just I'm a spider cow and
Speaker 1: cattle arete and fifty again. I think I think that
Speaker 1: we Google, if you're going to use our name, like,
Speaker 1: do a better job and maybe get us involved editorially
Speaker 1: so we can call out when you're doing some making
Speaker 1: killer robots and also that, but more importantly, please get
Speaker 1: us involved with the frank geist and pass oh number
Speaker 1: one podcast host so um that they do have a
Speaker 1: like a costume wizard, which um like get you put
Speaker 1: in various things like various criteria and then they tell
Speaker 1: you and it keeps telling me that I want to
Speaker 1: be Katana from from the Marvel Universe based on because
Speaker 1: I want you to do something local, local, and yeah,
Speaker 1: local modern and like no matter how unique, Like they're like,
Speaker 1: how important is it for you to be unique? I
Speaker 1: put like ninety and it was like Katana, I put ten?
Speaker 1: Was Katana four? Katana? Yeah man, iron man coming in
Speaker 1: at This might be just a randomly collected list of
Speaker 1: nouns that Google has, but just yeah, it's at least
Speaker 1: fun to talk about. All right, Well that's been the
Speaker 1: first half of our show. Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back, and Kanye is
Speaker 1: trending um As that situation continues to spiral more anti
Speaker 1: semitism to the point we saw fucking Nazis on the
Speaker 1: four oh five in l A putting up fucking their
Speaker 1: wild anti Semitic banners and Highland Hitler and Ship on
Speaker 1: the four oh five, uh saying like Kanye was right.
Speaker 1: So many people have continued to look at brands that
Speaker 1: are still working with him and they're like, uh, this
Speaker 1: you still with this. Valenciaga dropped him, apparently now his
Speaker 1: talent agency CIA has dropped him. Adidas still hasn't, and
Speaker 1: many people like, what what good is it doing? Like
Speaker 1: this is like even it's like it's funny to even
Speaker 1: see fans being like, damn, I just this guy is
Speaker 1: really fucking it up. I'm like now, but okay, fine,
Speaker 1: you found a moment to offer ramp. Then this is
Speaker 1: the moment because this is what we need as a society,
Speaker 1: and we don't need brands being like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like let's just let's see if this blows over and
Speaker 1: then we'll come back to selling you big chunky sneakers.
Speaker 1: The fact that Adidas is still on board is pretty
Speaker 1: wild because there was like the video of him basically
Speaker 1: daring them to drop him, like showing them porn and
Speaker 1: shipped too. He was like yeah, Adidas can't drop me
Speaker 1: because their Adidas they suck basically, And that's a tough
Speaker 1: way to respond to that talking point. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean now we're you know when when Ari Emmanuel,
Speaker 1: the fucking the real life basis for Ari from Entourage
Speaker 1: is the one being like everyone needs to cut ties
Speaker 1: with him, just shows you how like increasing this whole
Speaker 1: controversy is and just like kind of how just just
Speaker 1: fucked up it is to see like continually people are
Speaker 1: like continuing just being like, hey, come on my show
Speaker 1: and say some more fucked up ship um, and then
Speaker 1: we'll see how long it becomes a controversy or whether
Speaker 1: or not we need to take it down. Meanwhile, it
Speaker 1: truly is emboldening people to like even use his name
Speaker 1: and to just stoke more prejudicial violence. Yeah. Um, the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice is trending for non Trump related news.
Speaker 1: I know everyone, Oh shoot, like Garland's about the like
Speaker 1: come out with a huge press conference. But then they
Speaker 1: said it has to do with charges against the nation state,
Speaker 1: and people like whoa, uh so you figure out who
Speaker 1: Trump's all those documents too, or like what's happening here?
Speaker 1: It turns out that they're pressing charges against two Chinese
Speaker 1: intelligence officers or I guess colloquially we'd call them spies, um,
Speaker 1: for like obstructing this criminal probe into the company Huawei
Speaker 1: uh and like that was apparently they were getting into
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff to try and figure out like
Speaker 1: where some of the lawyers or investigators were like living
Speaker 1: or going and trying to I guess, exert some kind
Speaker 1: of influence. I mean, obviously this is beyond the pale
Speaker 1: as an American to hear something like this. Um. And
Speaker 1: I just you know, I'm just so glad our country
Speaker 1: doesn't ever do things the name of a company's interest.
Speaker 1: MTG trending because people are starting to say she will
Speaker 1: be Trump's running mate. Yep, she's even saying it. She's
Speaker 1: saying it. Yeah, she recently said that she's quote in
Speaker 1: talks with Trump that's very Hollywood. Yeah. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: prior to this, all the headline the only reason she's
Speaker 1: saying that is because before this, all of the headlines
Speaker 1: are saying like Trump is apparently repeatedly telling people he's
Speaker 1: like I think I'm gonna pick her with her, which
Speaker 1: to me, I think the logic here is obviously you're
Speaker 1: going pedal to the metal with all the fucking ridiculous
Speaker 1: ship that is uttered by this person. But also I
Speaker 1: think maybe he's found someone that he's like, they have
Speaker 1: more energy than I do, and they can pick up
Speaker 1: the slack on a campaign trail when I inevitably are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just go and say something about Q and I'll
Speaker 1: just have a burger back here. But yeah, I mean, god,
Speaker 1: if if you needed even more of a reason to
Speaker 1: begin just looking at the outlook for this country's political future.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, there's that. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see,
Speaker 1: I guess because I think a lot of people think
Speaker 1: it'll be Tim Scott or like someone like more mainstream
Speaker 1: Republican who like bounces out the party. But I feel
Speaker 1: like he resents the fact that he ever listened to
Speaker 1: people when it came to Pence in the in the
Speaker 1: last election, So just go with his and there's like loyalty,
Speaker 1: right Like even with Pence, you're like, oh, that guy
Speaker 1: seems like he's a total boot liquor and he's loving it.
Speaker 1: I mean apparently like he's still there's still a moment
Speaker 1: where his self preservation kicked in. He's like, well, I
Speaker 1: don't want to funk with the brand this much. And
Speaker 1: I think in Margie Taylor Green he sees someone who's
Speaker 1: like man, she became radioactive from embracing it. She started
Speaker 1: glowing because of how toxic it was, and then got
Speaker 1: into Congress and she hasn't let go. So why not
Speaker 1: just you know, go with people that are powered by
Speaker 1: the ooze? Right, speaking of powered by the US Ted
Speaker 1: cruz Um it's right there in his name. Truly like
Speaker 1: feels like he might be masochistic. So he is a
Speaker 1: supporter of the most hated professional sports team maybe in
Speaker 1: the country, the Houston Astros. They can't stop winning. They
Speaker 1: also were found to have like cheated in the World Series,
Speaker 1: like on the biggest stage possible, and this guy showed up.
Speaker 1: The Astros were up three oh in their series against
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees, like the team that the Astros
Speaker 1: took over the mantel from being like the most hated
Speaker 1: team and professional sports and went to a Yankee like
Speaker 1: the game where the Astros were shutting out the Yankees,
Speaker 1: putting them out of the UH playoffs and was just like, yep,
Speaker 1: here I am and I love it. A lightning rod
Speaker 1: for the anger of Yankees fans. Yeah, we're riding so
Speaker 1: fucking I with Aaron Judge, just crushing the fucking ball
Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, baby, let's go twenty eight
Speaker 1: rings or ever many of the funk they're going for now.
Speaker 1: And yeah, just hearing here's just like you said, powered
Speaker 1: by the ooze or how about just being showered by
Speaker 1: the booze Yankee fans because this is him leaving and
Speaker 1: people go on like doing the thing where they're like
Speaker 1: waving and then when he waves back, turning it into
Speaker 1: a fuck you really quick. So this is Yankee fans
Speaker 1: giving him a fuck you. He's walking to get a
Speaker 1: beer or something. What I just like fucking losing a
Speaker 1: picture where like five people are flipping him off or
Speaker 1: giving him a thumbs down at the same time. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: gives the politician like yeah, hey, oh my god, yeah,
Speaker 1: middle finger like to the bridge of the nose essentially
Speaker 1: like yeah, like almost like touching the tope of your head.
Speaker 1: But he asshole, pink pink pink pink pink fuck you.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Wow to New York their season is over
Speaker 1: with their fans. You know, hey, look you staybling Trump
Speaker 1: per cruise when they come to your game. So there's that,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and we got Phillies Philly Stros,
Speaker 1: So I know I'm going for yeah, you're the Phillies,
Speaker 1: not forgiven the Astros. You know, um yeah, I should
Speaker 1: say the team that the Astros cheated against, where the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers others. But yeah, I love look, I
Speaker 1: like i'd like Hills, America's city. Philly is having a moment, right,
Speaker 1: You're you're one of my You're you're one of the
Speaker 1: reasons I have an open mind towards the city of
Speaker 1: brotherly love. I have friends shout out my boy Chris,
Speaker 1: whose family is from Philly to even though like we
Speaker 1: were all Laker fans, he was a Sixers fanily we
Speaker 1: were kids. I was like, what are you doing? He's like,
Speaker 1: my family's from Philly and I'm like, you're loyal. So
Speaker 1: there's that. So the Phillies are in the World Series.
Speaker 1: Their professional football team, the Eagles are undefeated and just
Speaker 1: like looking like world beaters, and I think they have
Speaker 1: another professional sports amount. Yeah, yeah, who think are going three?
Speaker 1: After losing to the Spurs, who are most notable for
Speaker 1: trading away all their players in the off season to
Speaker 1: get ready to like a team that might doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like they're actually trying to win this year, like accidentally
Speaker 1: beat them. Don't worry. I feel a big, big wind
Speaker 1: streak coming for you guys. You're gonna go from oh
Speaker 1: and three to o MG Jack, just you wait, bad
Speaker 1: start to the sea as a van for both both
Speaker 1: of our teams. You can hear more about that, I'm
Speaker 1: sure on this week. I don't know if the statistics
Speaker 1: actually support the idea that Russell Westbrook is trying to
Speaker 1: sabotage himself for the team. I don't. I think just
Speaker 1: the whole like nobody's ever had this moment. So the
Speaker 1: starting point guard for your team, Los Angeles Lakers, Russell Westbrook,
Speaker 1: who was an m v P within like you know,
Speaker 1: five six years ago and has fallen on hard times
Speaker 1: because he was really like gifted athlete and great player
Speaker 1: when he constantly had the ball in his hands and
Speaker 1: was on a mediocre team that was like kind of
Speaker 1: the ideal situation for his game. When he's asked to
Speaker 1: fit into a system as like you know, the number
Speaker 1: three person in theory, he hurts his leg. He it
Speaker 1: just looks really it's looked really bad. It looked bad
Speaker 1: last season uh, still looks really bad. And the off
Speaker 1: season was kind to both of our teams because I think,
Speaker 1: you know, like there are things to focus on and
Speaker 1: the people get get big ideas in their head. Um.
Speaker 1: All that to say, Look, if you want to hear
Speaker 1: us cry real tears on Mike, check out this week's
Speaker 1: episode of Matt Boostie's I guarantee, I guarantee it. I
Speaker 1: guarantee it. It's gonna be sad. I guarantee grown men crying.
Speaker 1: Welcome to podcast. I guaranteed it. All right. Those are
Speaker 1: some of the things that are trending right now on Monday,
Speaker 1: October two. We're back tomorrow with the whole last episode
Speaker 1: of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
Speaker 1: be kind to yourself, get the vaccine, get the flu shot,
