Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
Speaker 1: disaster Zits rhymes a great album I Am Jack That
Speaker 1: over there is Miles. We're just listening to a mashup
Speaker 1: of put your Hands where My eyes can see and
Speaker 1: Wonderful Christmas Time simply having a Wonderful Christmas Time from
Speaker 1: the m F Doo Christmas album. Yeah check that out.
Speaker 1: Yeah really cool. Let's see what's trending. What's trending? Oh,
Speaker 1: a little something called the World Cup. Yeah, copa mundial,
Speaker 1: oh wow? Or uh yeah? Or Jape Japanese, Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: Big King's Messy is going to be in a World
Speaker 1: Cup final yet again. So this might be a chance
Speaker 1: to finally seal the deal here and say you know what,
Speaker 1: I fucking want it all because Christiano Ronaldo was not
Speaker 1: able to say that, and that's why he was sobbing
Speaker 1: as he went down the tunnel. And then people look,
Speaker 1: what are you crying? And it's like do I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: People can fucking be upset emotionally when they lose out
Speaker 1: on something they've dreamed of their entire lives. He had
Speaker 1: a weird crying face, but cry, but his cry looked
Speaker 1: like he was laughing and then also like there's I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know if we mentioned it, but
Speaker 1: Grant Wall who's a journalist there, he passed away during
Speaker 1: the tournament like last week with symptoms that he said
Speaker 1: like he was coughing a lot and had bronchitis. And
Speaker 1: then another journalist, a photographer who worked for like a
Speaker 1: Qatari like newspaper passed away. Um, a lot of people
Speaker 1: have become conspiratorial because there's just not a lot of information. Um.
Speaker 1: But I'm not I'm not sure what to make of
Speaker 1: of what's going on there. But I think the one
Speaker 1: thing is a lot of people, like health experts at
Speaker 1: least in like England and Australia, like, yeah, be careful
Speaker 1: with your safety, maybe because it was a massive, you
Speaker 1: know event globally, just be conscious of your health. Um,
Speaker 1: But I don't know, we'll see, we'll see anything bad
Speaker 1: comes out of that. We're saying people die mysteriously just
Speaker 1: from you know, a global pandemic that we still don't
Speaker 1: understand the full ramifications of just tour through the globe.
Speaker 1: So you know, we're there's a lot of wild ship
Speaker 1: happening from a health perspective. Yeah, I mean that's what's
Speaker 1: so wild is like the second like the World Cup
Speaker 1: stuff is hard to be like and then it could
Speaker 1: be a like a respiratorial and it's like I no, no, no,
Speaker 1: not right no, not right now, we're still we're pretending
Speaker 1: one pandemic isn't happening right now, Let's just don't throw
Speaker 1: more on the plate. Yeah, um, Sam Bankman Freed was
Speaker 1: arrested specifically for making political contributions under other people's names
Speaker 1: that possibly possibly for making them was stolen money. He
Speaker 1: made the mistake of doing the crime that all the
Speaker 1: corporate protected people get away with, just doing it without
Speaker 1: the protection, you know, and being a sort of scapegoat
Speaker 1: so you can't steal from rich white people, don't you know?
Speaker 1: That's always the final straw, you know, in your scam rubicon.
Speaker 1: Like once you've done that, the clock is starting to,
Speaker 1: you know, count down to when you're in trouble. But
Speaker 1: I think it was was he like resting the Bahamas, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's I mean that's where he's been extradited day one,
Speaker 1: which people were always like that seems weird. I've been
Speaker 1: watching some of his like apology tour ship that he's
Speaker 1: been doing or just like he's been very available to speak.
Speaker 1: I know we talked about that like sort of initially
Speaker 1: when FDx was collapsing, but he like is really out
Speaker 1: there being like I I just don't know what happened,
Speaker 1: Like he's trying to make himself look bumbling, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people who are observing that they're like, I
Speaker 1: don't buy this ship. It's like he's just trying to
Speaker 1: prepare for like a defense, and he's like, I didn't know,
Speaker 1: like got to run it multibillion dollar things. Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we'll see, we'll see. I just the only quote
Speaker 1: I know from him is I never went through a
Speaker 1: bed Nets phase when he was talking about global philanthropy,
Speaker 1: which he was saying likely of bednets, the thing that
Speaker 1: saves millions of less Yeah, don't worry about it anyway.
Speaker 1: His parents are both massive lawyers, sob yeah, aren't they.
Speaker 1: I think their area of expertise, isn't it like like regulation,
Speaker 1: seems like he would have an advantage, But also maybe
Speaker 1: it's a disadvenge because he keeps ignoring his lawyer's advice
Speaker 1: and being like, yeah, my lawyer told me not to speak,
Speaker 1: but maybe yeah, maybe that's just like his whatever mom
Speaker 1: and dad. It's the same way. You know he talked
Speaker 1: about like how like a cop would be a good
Speaker 1: serial killer because you know how investigations work, so you
Speaker 1: can kind of be a step ahead. It's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: if you're in a house field of people who not
Speaker 1: a regulate and you had some you know, darker aims, yeah,
Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh what y'all doing? Oh wow, okay,
Speaker 1: perfect the scamp. But what happens, sir? Looks like you
Speaker 1: looks like a lot of people want you, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: at least give some money back or too. I don't know,
Speaker 1: not be free. I don't know how that works over
Speaker 1: there and rich people Logtown does seem like scapegoating, but
Speaker 1: it also seems like he's wrong. He's bad. Um Lebron
Speaker 1: and Mellow Yeah, I played each other last night. Holy shit.
Speaker 1: So Brawny. We we hear a lot about Brownie Lebron's son.
Speaker 1: He's eighteen. He plays for Sierra Canyon. He just played
Speaker 1: uh like like the Kardashians and like scott Like I
Speaker 1: think Scottie Pippen was there too, which is wild and
Speaker 1: ship to watch this ship go down? Uh? So Brownny
Speaker 1: and Bryce and mellow Son Keion. They all played each other,
Speaker 1: which is so fucking wild because I remember, like I'm
Speaker 1: their age, I'm Lebron and Carmelo Anthony's a and I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking about like, yeah, man, you know, we're some
Speaker 1: young guys doing our thing. And I'm like, okay, so
Speaker 1: we were drafted in two thousand three, and now your
Speaker 1: kids are, you know, on the brink of going into college.
Speaker 1: Agend they're also playing really well. The James brothers they
Speaker 1: did better. I think, uh, Kean only scored like eight points. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he only scored eight. Brinie had fifteen. I don't know.
Speaker 1: The whole thing makes me feel like uncomfortable for them,
Speaker 1: but it seems like that's kind of that's what they want.
Speaker 1: But man, it's those it's a lot of eyes on them,
Speaker 1: Like those kids are ruined. I mean, I knew two
Speaker 1: kids with parents were athletes, ma'am when I tell you,
Speaker 1: they couldn't run further from the sport their parent was
Speaker 1: known for playing. Like, but these kids are embracing it.
Speaker 1: I hope. I mean, I don't know, maybe they maybe
Speaker 1: they are really calm because they just feel like, what
Speaker 1: the funk I'm gonna do? My dad's fucking Lebron James. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they grow up being like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: your dad's Lebron. That maybe in your own mind that
Speaker 1: does give you a little bit like, man, I need
Speaker 1: to really do my own ship. I have to make
Speaker 1: my own lane. But let's be real, there's just already
Speaker 1: outsized attention on you because of because Lebron Dad. It's like, what,
Speaker 1: why or why is Kim Kardashian there is it? Because
Speaker 1: it's it's just an okay, yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: mean there there might be some other connection, but um
Speaker 1: Kardashians were in the building's wild. Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back, and the Avatar to review embargo has been lifted.
Speaker 1: Avata go home. Avata is what a couple of reviewers
Speaker 1: are saying, because uh, yeah, it's like very myth. It's
Speaker 1: it's at a metacritics seventy two, which that's not bad.
Speaker 1: It's not bad at all. It's also based on some
Speaker 1: of the early reviews that we had heard. Pipe that's right,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's yeah, there are some people who
Speaker 1: really hate it. And what Okay, I think before I
Speaker 1: know you've been excited and I've said I want to
Speaker 1: go for merely the technical, like the experience of seeing
Speaker 1: it first, of the plot in the first one, you know,
Speaker 1: miss me with your neo colonial bullshit, Like, so what
Speaker 1: are like, what are the worst reviews saying? Because the
Speaker 1: only thing I'll put me off they're like, yo, it
Speaker 1: looks like straight ship. Then I'd be like, okay, then
Speaker 1: maybe that's a funk up. If it's going to be
Speaker 1: like I don't know, it's just middling character development, I'm
Speaker 1: like a fool. All this is the lowest review from
Speaker 1: the Telegraph. For all it's world building sprawl. The way
Speaker 1: of the Water is a horizon narrowing experience, the sad
Speaker 1: site of a great filmmaker reversing up a creative cold
Speaker 1: de sac. So I think it's just saying it's more
Speaker 1: the same, which I'm okay. I mean, if it's more
Speaker 1: of the same, but also like visually push pushes, where's
Speaker 1: your bar? Where do you say? What? What? What things
Speaker 1: the film have to achieve for you to say I
Speaker 1: was great? That's all I wanted to So it's it's weird.
Speaker 1: This is this is kind of a singular movie, like
Speaker 1: experience for me in the sense that the first movie
Speaker 1: I came out of and I was like that was
Speaker 1: a masterpiece, and then it completely evaporated from my mind.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people's minds, like the
Speaker 1: first one had did not have like much of a
Speaker 1: cultural imprint, even though it was seen by everybody, because
Speaker 1: I think it is like just such a kind of
Speaker 1: have to be there and have to like watch it
Speaker 1: in three D, and it's like it kind of blurs
Speaker 1: the line between like a ride and a movie, like
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that insulting Lee, because it really
Speaker 1: like pushed the fun of going to the movies in
Speaker 1: a wild new direction. So I guess we just have
Speaker 1: to like kind of do that to me again in
Speaker 1: new ways to not feel like I'm I'm just watching
Speaker 1: the first one over again. Yeah, I'm hoping for some
Speaker 1: real like because the shots I remember from watching the
Speaker 1: first one was like when you're like, oh, ship, like
Speaker 1: be like yo, this mountain in the way or whatever.
Speaker 1: If if it gets me to physically move, then it's
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely hitting on the three D part,
Speaker 1: because that's the that's when you know you're kind of like,
Speaker 1: whoa like when you actually start moving your head around
Speaker 1: to kind of get the full like scale of the
Speaker 1: three d um. But yeah, I just needed I just
Speaker 1: need to go WHOA a couple of times um. And
Speaker 1: as long as it's like there's ship going on, I'll
Speaker 1: probably have all the dialogue tuned out of my mind
Speaker 1: because you know, let's face it, I'm not here for
Speaker 1: James Cameron dial I remember when I first saw Titanic.
Speaker 1: I was like, I couldn't get past the dialogue. I
Speaker 1: was like, that's not how anybody, It's not how people
Speaker 1: speak in reality. That's also not how people speak in movies.
Speaker 1: It feels like a child trying to write like how
Speaker 1: people speak in movies. There there's some lines and Titanic
Speaker 1: that are real clunkers, and I definitely let it distract
Speaker 1: me from like that that is a pretty great movie
Speaker 1: going experience, and you know, maybe he should get somebody
Speaker 1: to punch up his ship. But like the reviews, so
Speaker 1: that's the bad review. The A V Club gave it
Speaker 1: a one hundred, like an A plus, which DAVY Club
Speaker 1: is not not usually the easiest of critics, so it's there.
Speaker 1: There's one negative review, nine mixed reviews, thirty three positive.
Speaker 1: So I think people had really high expectations coming in
Speaker 1: because some of the early word of mouth was maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit exaggerated. But it's the stuff that people
Speaker 1: are saying seems to be like that you kind of
Speaker 1: can't believe your eyes and that that's kind of what
Speaker 1: I go to an Avatar movie for, unless the content
Speaker 1: and plot, but I'm still going to see that ship.
Speaker 1: Just make me go wild. Yeah, just make me go
Speaker 1: wowd Jimmy and you you do go wild? And movie
Speaker 1: you'll you'll do start trying to get the way it started.
Speaker 1: I go sometimes you see me, I'll stand up in
Speaker 1: the theater and point out the screen and look back.
Speaker 1: Go y'all, take off your glasses, look at them, and
Speaker 1: then put them back. Hey, and I topped the person
Speaker 1: from he switched glasses with me. These ships ain't working,
Speaker 1: what I said, give me a glasses, man. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't like me in there. There is a new
Speaker 1: poll out that is saying that Trump's support is catering.
Speaker 1: Um catering. Catering. Yeah, it's catering. They got a really
Speaker 1: good caterer to come through. They've got from catering is
Speaker 1: actually the new way um is cratering rather um what what?
Speaker 1: So want the former president to run for president prefer
Speaker 1: some other Republican nominee. Sixty one percent and two thirds
Speaker 1: of Republicans say they want to Santis to run for president,
Speaker 1: So he's out doing Trump. Sixty one don't want Trump,
Speaker 1: sixties seven want to Santis. Is this from the Rhonda
Speaker 1: Santis campaign? That makes you think, well, so here's the
Speaker 1: thing it's not from. It's not like internal pulling. It
Speaker 1: seems to be an objective pulse that said Trump has
Speaker 1: never looked good in pulling and has always ended up
Speaker 1: surprising people when it came to electoral things. They just
Speaker 1: can't seem to get his people. So there's probably an
Speaker 1: overrepresentation of you know, old school Republicans who are like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: the other I mean, there's a lot of headlines about
Speaker 1: how like you know, always especially now though especially now
Speaker 1: that like movers and shakers and the party like they
Speaker 1: don't have the will to get Trump out, but they're
Speaker 1: secretly like, please just get like indicted so we can
Speaker 1: fucking move on. And I think it goes it just
Speaker 1: shows like it's just kind of truly the American ethos,
Speaker 1: which is like oh, we don't want to do the work,
Speaker 1: but can that just happen passively? But we will stop
Speaker 1: intervening on his behalf to prevent him, to protect him.
Speaker 1: It does feel like part of this for like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, dude, I don't know. That's what the polls
Speaker 1: fucking say. Dude, I don't know if you know, if
Speaker 1: you want to go or something. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: it's like up to you. Like I wonder how many
Speaker 1: like mealy mouthed attempts they have been to be like
Speaker 1: maybe fucking don't but it always comes out of like
Speaker 1: I don't know. That could be a could be a
Speaker 1: tough landscape. I don't know if like you know, just
Speaker 1: like looking at the Senate that and he's like, fuck it,
Speaker 1: I'm on dry off of my life. I do feel
Speaker 1: like if it once it's him versus De Santis or
Speaker 1: another candidate, but it's probably him versus De Santis, like
Speaker 1: that's where he'll thrive once it's like conflict drip and
Speaker 1: him just like going Santis. He ain't got chat no
Speaker 1: that mound thing doing nothing. He doesn't have charisma or
Speaker 1: improv He needs to go like watching like deaf comedy
Speaker 1: jam tapes or something. Yeah, I think for this to
Speaker 1: play out the way this poll is suggesting, Republicans would
Speaker 1: have to do a similar calculation to what Democrats did
Speaker 1: in where the person who polls better against Biden is
Speaker 1: who they go with because they take electability into account
Speaker 1: when they're making the decision. But that's not as potent
Speaker 1: with the Republican Party like Democrats. The Democratic base is
Speaker 1: just like MSMDC brains people who are like political strategists
Speaker 1: at heart. I feel like in a lot of cases,
Speaker 1: you know, whereas I don't know, the Republicans, like they
Speaker 1: want to overthrow the government, so they're not going to
Speaker 1: be like doing uh you know, they just want eighties
Speaker 1: movies to be the baseline for culture. Again, that's right,
Speaker 1: That's right, Like when you could say gay and it
Speaker 1: didn't fucking get you canceled, you know, thank you. So
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see. But I don't know. I'm not putting
Speaker 1: that much stock. If I had to bet, Trumpet is not.
Speaker 1: He's not backing out of this quietly. So if he
Speaker 1: ends up with the nomination, it's either going to be
Speaker 1: because the Republicans folded or he shredded their asses up
Speaker 1: on the way there, and they're like, you're right, I
Speaker 1: don't want smoked. And finally, Q and On is trending
Speaker 1: again because is now promoting it, yeah, saying follow the rabbit,
Speaker 1: which is again they're catchphrase. Um. But I think more
Speaker 1: of the reason I like I bring this up even
Speaker 1: as a trend is like I've been reading a lot
Speaker 1: of takes that I agree with, Like right now, it
Speaker 1: seems like Elon Musk is the worst thing for Trump
Speaker 1: right now because he is taking up all the own
Speaker 1: the lib oxygen right now, and Trump is like be like, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: hey over here, uh this thing. Whereas now everybody can't
Speaker 1: stop talking about Elon Musk. God he did this, Oh
Speaker 1: he fucking did that. Oh he thinks this, And now
Speaker 1: the outrage machine is fully centered around him. And so
Speaker 1: that is an interesting fuel source that Trump is lacking
Speaker 1: right now, because that's usually the easiest way for him
Speaker 1: to stay relevant, is like his weird takes. He says
Speaker 1: one thing and everyone's talking about it, and now like
Speaker 1: like on the only thing we think seeing, or like
Speaker 1: updates about his legal troubles and then like and then
Speaker 1: he said something about the Constitution, but fucking Ellen got
Speaker 1: blamed at the Chase Center, right, so interesting, you know, like,
Speaker 1: is there is there enough liberal lib own the libs
Speaker 1: oxygen to keep Trump's flame from being fully suffocated? I
Speaker 1: mean there always will be, but that is a huge
Speaker 1: part of his presence, like in the culture um, which
Speaker 1: is just not being occupied by this guy. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: it's kind of amazing how easily someone would no charisma,
Speaker 1: has has been able to just come in and agree
Speaker 1: his way to this position, but just being like yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually yeah, you're right. Yeah, all the crazy dumb
Speaker 1: ship you guys say, I agree with that. Everyone's like wow,
Speaker 1: and people there's like and more people just hate fucking
Speaker 1: hyper wealthy people. Yeah, you know, there's just and the
Speaker 1: people are coming around. Turns out you don't want to
Speaker 1: be like this asshole. Yeah. I don't know. It'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see though, because I do feel like he
Speaker 1: also has a lot of momentum us like a lot
Speaker 1: of people are coming together to hate him, but I
Speaker 1: also feel like there's also a lot of people who are,
Speaker 1: you know, backing him at this point. Oh yeah, what's
Speaker 1: definitely the other billionaires who are like what do we do?
Speaker 1: Mad at us? I didn't even ask for this, Like
Speaker 1: my Grandpa gave me this, and now I'm bad, like
Speaker 1: fucking woke people are so fucked up. Like that's honestly
Speaker 1: the distillation I think at these conversations with these people,
Speaker 1: all these stupid, stupid, fucking wokeness you mean, scrutiny on
Speaker 1: the source of your money and just general awareness around
Speaker 1: in it qual yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea yeah,
Speaker 1: learned that leader. All right, well, those are some of
Speaker 1: the things that are trending on this Tuesday, December thirteenth.
Speaker 1: We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of
Speaker 1: the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
Speaker 1: kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, get the blue shot,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll talk to you
Speaker 1: all tomorrow. Bye bye,
