Speaker 1: I said, thirst, why not? Fuck it? No Trender? Thirst?
Speaker 1: It is November. We're here. We made it through October,
Speaker 1: which also means a Native American heritage month. Let's give
Speaker 1: the lamb back? Can we can we address one of
Speaker 1: the original sins of this country. I'm willing to wait
Speaker 1: in the line. You know, I know they're ye ye
Speaker 1: yea go ahead, yack ahead, do that first, please, so
Speaker 1: we can have some kind of reckoning in this country.
Speaker 1: I am Miles and I am joined by superproducer Back.
Speaker 1: What's Upca? Hello, I'm good. How are you? I'm good?
Speaker 1: How was the did you donything for Halloween? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: did a pretty wholesome how well? Okay? On Friday I
Speaker 1: went out with my friends that was not wholesome. Um,
Speaker 1: but I dressed as a disco Ball, which was a
Speaker 1: six dollar costume, and that was great because I already
Speaker 1: had a um silver sequence jumpsuit. And then I found
Speaker 1: these disco ball ear rings at party City, so that
Speaker 1: was lit and I needed to recover for two whole days. Um.
Speaker 1: So on Sunday, I went to a child Halloween birthday
Speaker 1: party that was really cute. And then on Monday, actual Halloween,
Speaker 1: my partner and I dressed as um Dom Torretto and
Speaker 1: Letty Ortiz from Fast and Furious and did a whole
Speaker 1: photo shoot around his really nice jeep Cherokee and what
Speaker 1: to um. There's this thing called like the Pumpkin Blaze
Speaker 1: in upstate New York. Um it's apparently very famous. It's
Speaker 1: like forty thou pumpkins lit up and carved, and it
Speaker 1: was actually very close like highly recommend It was like
Speaker 1: a really fun wholesome thing to do. We like drove
Speaker 1: up and then you go through the maze and they
Speaker 1: have like all these different pumpkins setups, like some of
Speaker 1: them are like pumpkins that people have carved for like
Speaker 1: a pumpkin contest, and have these like insane arch ways.
Speaker 1: They have all these different scenes. They had like, um,
Speaker 1: a museum of pumpkin art instead of a museum of
Speaker 1: modern art, and they did like the Mona Lisa and
Speaker 1: like um, you know, Andy Warhol, and then they did
Speaker 1: like a few statues like famous statues at the moment,
Speaker 1: and then they did like um, these scenes of New
Speaker 1: York where they like carved like city subways all on pumpkins,
Speaker 1: like like giant pumpkin displays. It was very very cool.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna post some pictures on my social um in
Speaker 1: a bit, but it was it was so much fun.
Speaker 1: I was like, and so we dressed up to go
Speaker 1: to this, and then I had dinner at a dinner
Speaker 1: and then came home and it was fun nice. I
Speaker 1: watched uh, some spooky Ship. Then I watched the Halloween
Speaker 1: episode of Sister Sister, Uh. Then I watched the Halloween
Speaker 1: episode of Living Single. Then I watched the episode of
Speaker 1: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season two, episode three where the teenagers
Speaker 1: come and no costumes and ask for candy and then
Speaker 1: they get into an argument about that. So I DI
Speaker 1: I had some Halloween programming, but there are no trigger
Speaker 1: treaters by me, so it was a little It was
Speaker 1: quiet for sure. Anyway. Let's tell everybody was trending really
Speaker 1: terrible news. Amigo star Takeoff was killed last night. Uh
Speaker 1: dead at the age of twenty eight. In the from
Speaker 1: the reporting that is out, it took place at a
Speaker 1: bowling alley in Houston, UH and may have had something
Speaker 1: to do with the dice game. That's about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's plenty of unconfirmed information flying around, but that's really
Speaker 1: I mean, I if I don't know, I I honestly
Speaker 1: you always think like the like rap is past, like
Speaker 1: all the I don't know, not that it's passed the violence,
Speaker 1: but like I remember being and like junior high and
Speaker 1: I was like right east coast, West coast beef. But
Speaker 1: now there's a lot of people getting killed for nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really sad. I was really taken aback as someone
Speaker 1: from Houston. And also you know Amigo's fan and someone
Speaker 1: who's around the same age, Like that is really crazy.
Speaker 1: I think he is so young, you know that is
Speaker 1: that it's just it's gone like that over nothing, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And he was just doing an interview where people were
Speaker 1: giving him, you know, his his plodit's for being like, man,
Speaker 1: this new album, like you you've hit a new level.
Speaker 1: And he's like he you know, really sort of grim
Speaker 1: foreshadow and he said, yeah, I want to get these
Speaker 1: roses now before you know, I'm not here to get
Speaker 1: him uh and then this happens. So it's man, it's
Speaker 1: just really tragic. And his like his whole like staccato
Speaker 1: rap full over time. I was like, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: like what he does, and I'm like, man, this is
Speaker 1: he's really like, this is unique to him and he's
Speaker 1: really good at it. So yeah, just and as someone
Speaker 1: who notably has a pretty low social like profile, so
Speaker 1: it's kind of just interesting that things like this are happening,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, Okay, Lindsey Graham is trending because if
Speaker 1: you remember, first Clarence Thomas was like, hey, man, you
Speaker 1: don't got to testify, like, I'll put a temporary hold
Speaker 1: on this and then until the Supreme Court and actually
Speaker 1: get a look at it. Well they did, and they
Speaker 1: said no, sorry, Lindsay, you gotta go. You need to
Speaker 1: go speak to somebody down in Fulton County, Georgia, because
Speaker 1: they're really interested in your phone calls to people like
Speaker 1: brad Raevensburger and being like, you know, putting pressure on
Speaker 1: to change maybe votes. I don't know, that's what they
Speaker 1: want to ask you about, Lindsay. Um, And now he's
Speaker 1: clearly like, at this point, you can't do ship after
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court as far as I know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know there's probably other legal systems that operate for
Speaker 1: you know, people like him, but as far as most
Speaker 1: people's logicals or knowledge of our legal system. That's it.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like he will have to uh speak
Speaker 1: to prosecutors in November. Um, so we'll see what happens there.
Speaker 1: The whole time he was trying to say, like it's
Speaker 1: it's like I'm i'm I'm exempt because of this like
Speaker 1: debate clause where I can't be asked about legislative you know,
Speaker 1: activity or whatever. And they're like, yeah, well you know
Speaker 1: what the prosecutors did, or they knew you were gonna
Speaker 1: say that, and they really paired these questions down to
Speaker 1: make sure they're not ask anything about legislation. If anything,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you were coordinating with the White House too,
Speaker 1: you know, get involved in some factory allegedly. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: a bit of a little bit of a bright spot.
Speaker 1: But then like you take that with the news obviously
Speaker 1: yesterday where they're I mean, as it stands now, we
Speaker 1: haven't heard, but it sounds like they're also gonna gut
Speaker 1: affirmative action. So you lose some and then you lose
Speaker 1: some pretty much is what it sounds like in America.
Speaker 1: It's really kind of sucking me up. Next thing is
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving that's trending already. I think people are just
Speaker 1: like fuck it this November. I mean I get it,
Speaker 1: Like if you're thinking in terms of like how a classroom.
Speaker 1: A lot of the thinking I have around decorations comes
Speaker 1: from me being an elementary school and like the times
Speaker 1: in which the room will flip over from the aesthetic
Speaker 1: like the back to school to spooky pumpkins, then problematic
Speaker 1: depictions of Native Americans, you know, cartoon characters and ship
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then you start seeing the Christmas stuff.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, I'm just I'm just I mean,
Speaker 1: super producer Brian said, Uh, he heard Christmas music and
Speaker 1: series yesterday, which I didn't know Sears still existed. Um,
Speaker 1: but I also was out this morning and I went
Speaker 1: to a mall in the area. Uh, and they already
Speaker 1: had like Christmas Garland up. I went to a couple
Speaker 1: places where they were absolutely playing Christmas music. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Thanksgiving. Yeah, honestly, I mean, look, you know,
Speaker 1: celebrate however you want to. But honestly, and I like
Speaker 1: that they're doing that because it's not about the country.
Speaker 1: It's about Christ, you know, his birth that we will
Speaker 1: celebrate by buying shit. Uh, just until this thing turns
Speaker 1: into a polluted marble in space. I was just impressed
Speaker 1: because I was like pretty sure I was at that
Speaker 1: same mall, like I don't know, Friday, um frank stuff
Speaker 1: for my Halloween costume. And then November one already Christmas garland,
Speaker 1: already giant Christmas wreath. Insane, right, I mean, look, get
Speaker 1: in where you fit in. If you're a big Thanksgiving person,
Speaker 1: good for you. I'm fine with going to Christmas. I
Speaker 1: just like the I think it's like the mentality that
Speaker 1: is implied by the holidays, which I just think of
Speaker 1: being a kid where you don't have to go to
Speaker 1: school and then like your parents are like just like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, just do whatever funk you want.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go back to school. Like yes, I will
Speaker 1: lay down to watch TV all day because these references
Speaker 1: will be worth something in twenty some years. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be back to
Speaker 1: talk about some other trends after this. And we're back
Speaker 1: and speaking to Halloween or the holidays. We talked a
Speaker 1: little bit about some celebrity costumes and things that were
Speaker 1: going on. Kim Kardashian overdressing for Tracy Ellis Ross's birthday, etcetera.
Speaker 1: But Billie Eilish also is getting a lot of attention
Speaker 1: negative positive if from her perspective. Her and her new
Speaker 1: boyfriend Jesse Ruthford, who is thirty one, she's twenty. Um.
Speaker 1: They said that they she dressed as like a baby
Speaker 1: in a diaper, right and like a bonnet and like
Speaker 1: very like bo peepe like baby, like why did I makeup?
Speaker 1: And he dressed like like Johnny Knoxville or one of
Speaker 1: the jackass dude was trying to look like an old man,
Speaker 1: like just aggressive old man gear and it was I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess they wanted to you know, I guess clapped
Speaker 1: back at the haters. Yeah, something received well on the internet,
Speaker 1: not being received well on TikTok, especially if you like
Speaker 1: everyone has a take right now on the top. I
Speaker 1: definitely think, you know, we were talking about this off air,
Speaker 1: that she is someone who has been famous for now
Speaker 1: quite a long time, like in comparison to her lifespan
Speaker 1: and her you know, from a young young age two
Speaker 1: now and she writes very complex music. She probably considers
Speaker 1: herself a lot older than you know, she is a
Speaker 1: certainly emotionally mature than Yeah, she's experienced things that most
Speaker 1: you know, people her age haven't of course, being you know,
Speaker 1: so famous and so popular as an artist. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like one day she's gonna
Speaker 1: look back and feel her age and realize like how
Speaker 1: young she really was at twenty and how you know,
Speaker 1: maybe perverted this man was for dating her as a
Speaker 1: thirty one year old, and you know, there have been
Speaker 1: comments that she was a fan of his and that
Speaker 1: she used to go to his concerts. So it is
Speaker 1: just a lot, you know, it is. I I hope
Speaker 1: that she can look back at this and maybe reflect
Speaker 1: on this wasn't a great idea, like the outfits and
Speaker 1: the relationship. Yeah, it's because they met, Like he met
Speaker 1: her when she was like he's friends with her brother.
Speaker 1: They met when she was under the age of eighteen,
Speaker 1: and she definitely has been to concerts when she was
Speaker 1: like fourteen and stuff as a fan. So it's just
Speaker 1: it's a big conversation happening right now. I think with
Speaker 1: like Demi Lovato's song coming out and like you know
Speaker 1: all too well Taylor's version ten Minutes, I think it
Speaker 1: is becoming more of a common conversation out in the
Speaker 1: open especially after me to how predatory these age gap
Speaker 1: relationships are in Hollywood. You know, I think for a
Speaker 1: long time we slept another the rug. We just were like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: it's different, like they're famous and we're not, and they
Speaker 1: experienced life differently than we do. But like, but on paper,
Speaker 1: it's like, Na, you're thirty one and she's twenty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a day she's still a kid, and that's
Speaker 1: like really yucky. And I remember what I was like
Speaker 1: at twenty and now I'm not even thirty one yet,
Speaker 1: but I can't imagine dating a twenty year old at
Speaker 1: this age that I am at, which is seven. So
Speaker 1: you know when I also had an age gratblationship when
Speaker 1: I was young, and that was really toxic. So I
Speaker 1: think more people could stand to be better, yeah, or
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's just interesting, like you said, uh,
Speaker 1: I'm sure she's looking at her life one way and
Speaker 1: probably think for people with the hindsight of like going
Speaker 1: through their early twenties thinking, my my god, I thought
Speaker 1: I fucking I thought I was fan os and ship
Speaker 1: like I was like, you can't tell me shit right now,
Speaker 1: I fucking heard of it all figured out And then
Speaker 1: I look back, I'm like, oh, you was but a
Speaker 1: broken little boy who was projecting this ship because you
Speaker 1: were you was scared young man. You didn't really know much. Um,
Speaker 1: but hey, hindsight, Um, that's also Billy Eilish's age, so
Speaker 1: Jesse Rutherford. Interesting look, but yeah, this is again getting
Speaker 1: trending right now a lot of people. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't see many people defending this. Really, it feels like
Speaker 1: most people a lot of good, especially because I guess
Speaker 1: her whole. I'm not like the biggest Billie Eilish fan
Speaker 1: by any means. I think she's very talented, just like
Speaker 1: not my cup of tea music. Um. She her last
Speaker 1: album was all about her relationship, sucking her up with
Speaker 1: an older man. So people are just like, honey, did
Speaker 1: you not learn the lesson? Did you not like listen
Speaker 1: to your own album? And now you're, you know, recreating
Speaker 1: history like and this age gap is even bigger than
Speaker 1: I think the person that album was about, So it
Speaker 1: is interesting. I don't know if she's like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: older now, so it's different. But yeah, whatever, Look, I'm
Speaker 1: just a geriatric millennial trying to be a parent from
Speaker 1: the sidelines, you know, forgive me um, Twitter blue is
Speaker 1: trending because I don't know if you saw that exchange
Speaker 1: where Stephen King on Twitter was like, I'm not paying
Speaker 1: twenty bucks a month for a fucking blue checkmark. Funk
Speaker 1: out of here? What the fund is Elon must thinking?
Speaker 1: And then he came in, He's like, hey, man, work
Speaker 1: with me here. How's eight bucks sound, you know, because
Speaker 1: we gotta pay our bills some way. And people were like,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this guy fucking doesn't Is he truly
Speaker 1: this out of his depth? And other people like this
Speaker 1: is prime, you know, Elon trolling. Either way, If you
Speaker 1: add up what twenty bucks a month would do for
Speaker 1: all of the people with blue check marks, they said,
Speaker 1: the math only comes out to round like fifteen million
Speaker 1: dollars a year, And when you consider like the billions
Speaker 1: of dollars that they have to cover as a company,
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know how the Okay, that's one
Speaker 1: dimension of it. But I think the big biggest thing
Speaker 1: with Elon Musk and Twitter now is that heat. I
Speaker 1: think it's it appears to be that his whole idea
Speaker 1: around it, and I'm sure as much as he said
Speaker 1: is to not be dependent on advertisers, which will allow
Speaker 1: the rampant hate speech to fucking flow, because who who
Speaker 1: gonna check you boo if there's no ad money throughing
Speaker 1: like flowing through the platform, and that's the idea is like, well,
Speaker 1: if it can just be a self propelled hate missile,
Speaker 1: then so be it. But now he said, uh, this
Speaker 1: is a tweet he just put out, and I hate
Speaker 1: that we have to talk about this, but it's Twitter,
Speaker 1: and it's a finally important social media platform. I said.
Speaker 1: Twitter's current lords and peasants system for who has or
Speaker 1: doesn't have a blue check mark is bullshit. Power to
Speaker 1: the people blue for eight dollars a month. First of all,
Speaker 1: I don't think this shows you how he looks at
Speaker 1: blue check marks too, I mean flippantly all you know,
Speaker 1: I'll give people ship when they're verified and like, oh
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I'm no, I don't have a
Speaker 1: blue check But the reason you have that is to
Speaker 1: be able to trust people when they're saying things, is
Speaker 1: like journalists or other people of not to be like
Speaker 1: I wish I could afford that, or that it's like
Speaker 1: not a fake account, you know, like this is like
Speaker 1: a real you know, this is actually concredssion, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: like exactly, so he's saying, you know, now they have
Speaker 1: eight dollars a month and just like it'll be half
Speaker 1: as many. It's just it's smacks of like, hey, I
Speaker 1: know y'all saw that tweet, but we were figuring it out.
Speaker 1: And look, they're gonna get fired in six days if
Speaker 1: they don't figure it out either. You heard that part too, right,
Speaker 1: And from what I understand, like some of the ad
Speaker 1: agencies are beginning to grumble about talking to their big
Speaker 1: clients and be like, I don't know if you really
Speaker 1: want to be sending money that way. Yeah, we shall see.
Speaker 1: And then finally, Farrell skateboard p is trending because he
Speaker 1: is collaborating with BTS and r M. I said, who
Speaker 1: is hashtag? Rm? Becca? I said, I don't I know BTS.
Speaker 1: I know what the BTS is, but I didn't know
Speaker 1: who r M was. I'm like, is this short for something?
Speaker 1: His name is rap Monster formerly rap Monster, and to
Speaker 1: be fair, I did not know either. I am like
Speaker 1: you colloquially understand BTS and listen to a few other
Speaker 1: hits and enjoy them as a Korean pop group of
Speaker 1: the sense of like, oh, it's not American, Like this
Speaker 1: is fun, Like I want to be more diverse in
Speaker 1: my music taste for sure, But I did not know
Speaker 1: who RM was. Yeah, oh damn. We we almost have
Speaker 1: the same birthday, alright, Kim nom June. But also I
Speaker 1: guess RM rap Monster gonna have his own solo album
Speaker 1: and then Farrell is also going to be producing on there.
Speaker 1: Uh and again after you know, you say less to
Speaker 1: this geriatric millennial. Uh, because I'm like, Farrell, what's he doing? Bts? Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll look that up. Okay. Uh. So I'm sure there'll
Speaker 1: be some good music on the way, I hope, at
Speaker 1: least in production. If Farrell's name and I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna listen to that, I'll listen for a second. Yes,
Speaker 1: maybe because he was a celebrity that I kind of
Speaker 1: look like in high school and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: he Blazian. No, hey, I'll still it. I'll take that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course that's what all the Blazers we're thinking. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much everybody for joining us today. Becca, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for joining me today on the trending
Speaker 1: episode We will catch you out tomorrow with a whole
Speaker 1: new episode. And yeah, remember y'all please take care of
Speaker 1: each other and take care of yourselves. Like be kind
Speaker 1: to yourself too. I said that a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: But like, honestly, being kind to yourself isn't more just
Speaker 1: like saying I would be kind to myself, you know,
Speaker 1: be kind to yourself. Think about how you cannot, you know,
Speaker 1: kick yourself down because I guess what, I bet the
Speaker 1: most wild monologues you have or in your head, and
Speaker 1: they're probably not the ones that are the most healthy
Speaker 1: for you to look at yourself and say, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: being kind to myself. I love myself. Anyway, that was
Speaker 1: my motivational minute. Also, get the vaccine wearing mask because
Speaker 1: you see the waves they're coming back. Uh. And don't
Speaker 1: do nothing about any kind of oppressive nonsense either. You know,
Speaker 1: be a good person out there until next time we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you. Then bye bye
