Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Bridgert
trend Uh I am Jack at his miles got even god,
h even is trending right now for a stupid reason.
We'll talk about in a moment. Horny reads so horny
right now, but here are some things that are trending

(00:21):
on this fine Wednesday afternoon, September the first, Happy September.
To you, sir, thank you, and to you as well. Yeah,
mad Derna is trending. Ma derna m a d r
n A. Some somebody tried to get into Hawaii with

(00:42):
a fake vaccination card that said madrna. Wow. Um, yeah,
what we just when we're talking about fake vaccine cards
and all this other ship. There's been a slew of
headlines today of people getting caught buying fake shit, selling
fake ship, or in the case, misspelling the name of
a vaccine. And did you look at the vaccine card

(01:06):
that she turned in. Yeah, it was very scribbly. It
was scribbly. It was all in her ship handwriting, so
like both shots were, it was like all clearly, all
written at the same time in the same pen. And
it feels like you're catching your like three year old

(01:26):
cheating at a game. Or something. You're like, Oh, it's
kind of cute that you were trying, but it is
going to uh ruin society as we know it, so
we're gonna have to put you in jail unfortunately. Yeah,
so they thought something was up, scanned it in when
she was entering Hawaii, and then uh, sure enough, they

(01:47):
weren't able to find her in Delaware in the Delaware database,
and so when she came back to the airport for
her return flight, they got her the rest damn. So
turns out they actually checked them shits. Yeah, I think
they go. Well, first off, there's no such vaccine as
the spungo and this appears to be printed on some

(02:10):
kind of cracker. Yeah, so very spungo esque attempt at
vaccine faking. Um. I hate to see it. Hate to
see it. Elijah McClain is trending. Uh. The Attorney General,
who had been named as a special prosecutor in the case,
announced a thirty two count indictment almost exactly two years

(02:34):
to the day after he was murdered by the police
and paramedics. He was just walking home like one of
the kindest, like most gentle humans I've ever seen on video,
and they like grabbed him and beat him and then
injected him with Yeah. So yeah, three cops to paramedics

(02:58):
have been charged I think with manslaughter and a few
other things like that. A man, the fact that like,
you know, this was this was the first form of
disciplinary action that these people faced since the incident happened
two years. They've just been two years, just it's been
on the back burner. Uh, and it's yeah, it's it's

(03:21):
fucking sad man. And again, this is just somebody who's
just going home with a nice tea to take to
a family member, and you know, this is this is
the tragic outcome. So yeah, I hope this is some
form of relief for his family. But yeah, I guess,
you know, it takes it takes a minute, but some eventually,

(03:43):
sometimes justice is served sometimes, you know. I do think
there's like a lot of outrage around this case, and um,
you know, which is good because they actually did did
the obviously right thing. Uh. And then the bachelotte just trending.
Uh they announced the most recent bachelorette like it with

(04:05):
a commercial last night, and um, people were pointing out
that so apparently they really wanted uh Michelle Shell to
to be the Bachelorette, and Michelle is a teacher, and
she was like, I actually have to teach because it's

(04:26):
the school year. Uh, so I will not be the bachelorette. Um.
And they basically changed the entire schedule of the Bachelorette,
uh to accommodate her, and uh to kind of run
up a clock in between, they gave us a season
with someone named Katie. She was jack if I mean

(04:47):
you remember she was the girl with the vibrator, the
vibrator queen. Yeah. Remember, And she waited in Marie's face
when she was talking about being worried about her grandmother
in Puerto Rico after the hurricane at the most inn
time of course. Um, of course, yeah, yeah, I know, Katie.
I know. People were just people were just comparing. Like

(05:08):
how they announced the two, Um, Michelle, who is clearly
the favorite. It was high production value, like you know,
a royal weddings worth of flowers and just beautifully shot
soft glow you know on Michelle coming down a winding

(05:29):
staircase and a mansion. And then Katie got a Haynes
T shirt with a catchphrase that literally nobody ever said,
be a Katie. Um. So it's and and no, like
she's not flatteringly uh shot in any way, and uh yeah,

(05:54):
it's kind of funny. Yeah. I mean, I think when
watching that last season at the actual that she was on,
everyone liked Michelle. I certainly liked her because she was
like the most human contestant I had seen and maybe
the in total. For me, I've only seen maybe about
three seasons of the show, but in looking at the
history of past contestants, like she struck me as such

(06:15):
a genuine person that part of me is like, oh God,
please don't get everyone by this TV ship, because you're
a good like a real life good teacher who like
whose students like need her or need them or need you,
so please Um, but yeah, good for her. I'm glad
she's got the she's got the budget. Though she's getting
the budget dollars um. All right, let's take a quick

(06:36):
break and we'll be right back. And we're back, and
all right, let's get to bridgertain As best I can tell,
mild Bridgerton is trending because they announced the actor who's

(07:01):
being cast in Lady Chatterly's Lover. They cast the woman
who played Diana in last season of the Crown and
Bridgerton is trending because people are like, oh, it's gonna
be steamier than Bridgerton. Oh yeah, it's so hot, Like
just everyone's so that people just are horny for the

(07:24):
actress that Will played Lady Diane, like that played Diana
and I don't know if Yeah, it's just like so
much being made about the Lady Chatterle's Lover, which is
just a novel about somebody having an affair, but apparently
it has like real uh real steamy scenes for the

(07:44):
nineteen twenties. But every headline is like this ship is
steamier than Bridgerton. Uh so yeah, you're gonna see this
chick naked. This kind of the vibe that you're getting
from the headline. They're like, dude, you you know, I
know my bros have read Lady Chatterley's Lover. You know

(08:04):
what's up? You know what's up? Who? Okay? Cool? Yeah?
Are all right? So this is oh but it's also
still on Netflix, so look at look at that keeping
it on the Netflix family. And Netflix knows right like
they're like, you guys are horny, so let's do it.

(08:24):
Ride it. This wave of horny nous might as well
straight to the bank, offs at the five million they
paid for Steinfeld. I know they like at that point,
money is fake, right, Like money is just that money
has been fake's not real. Exerbs are trending because a
bunch of suburbs and like exerbs. I don't even know

(08:48):
the difference between those two. But they are being flooded
with people who fled cities during the pandemic. A bunch
of traffic. Schools are a mess. They're overcrowded, and I
point and laughed at them. Should have should have stuck
it out. Cities are better. Wait. An exurb is an
area outside the typically denser, inner suburban area of a

(09:11):
metropolitan area. Got it, So it's the super suburbs. It's
like extra suburban, Yeah, exactly, superburbs, suburbs. Okay, well, I
mean what they're just just it's just bad. Yeah, the
articles about like this town used to be known for

(09:35):
just being the site of a Civil War battle and
like a Tennessee State school, but now it's like swamped
and the locals are pissed. It's just Yeah, there's a
lot of movement going on like that. I mean, there
was just watching this other thing recently about um one
of those towns in Colorado that's mostly like for vacationers,

(09:56):
but like people who like wealthy people have just been
driving up the cost of real estate. I mean this
is happening everywhere, and there's no one there to serve
them because they've priced out people who would have been
working like wage jobs like in town, like service jobs.
So it's just like created this like ghost town where
like people are like just sitting on real estate not there.

(10:18):
Plus there isn't affordable housing for people. This is again
like we're just we've got the pedal to the metal
with just how backwards all of our regulations and laws
are as it relates to what are people owed? Like
what do people deserve? Because doing the thing was like, well, man,
I mean if you can afford it, I mean that
works to a point. But we're now seeing, especially with

(10:40):
the pandemic, just the massive inequality that's happening, and we're
still kind of like I don't know, but I'm like,
I guess you can evict people, whatever do they affordable housing.
A thing we need to actually think about is the
government to be able to provide people or regulate, uh,
you know, how many people can just come in and
like sit on properties and not do anything with them.

(11:01):
That's really funny that would think about like a bunch
of rich people out there and then the the Starbucks
and everything is just closed, like you can't. They're like, fine,
I guess I'm gonna do it. And they're like, yeah,
I'll take the job. That's fine. What, Yeah, it doesn't matter.
I have I have. I'm retired anyway, so this will
give me something to do from nine or five. What

(11:22):
I have to come in at five from five? Fuck? Alright? Uh? Well,
you know last hour, my last two exactly, um and
eleven is this. I'm there for the hour before lunch.
We hit lunch, and then I stay for an hour
and then I go home. I'm there for the conversation

(11:44):
about what we should have for lunch. Right yeah. Yeah,
but they're saying in net migration into a large group
of ex urban counties rose thirty seven percent according to
uh an analysis of US Postal Service change address data,
and nearly two thirds of the flow came from large
cities and they're close in suburbs. M This is coming

(12:08):
from the Wall Street Journal, though, who is part of
the kind of you know center, right, like media block
that is obsessed with being like California is fucked. Everybody's
gonna die in California, and then you'll will all be
laughing at you, you bunch of hippies. And then California
showed a what is it? They made like way more

(12:31):
money and didn't have any debt for the year. I
think that really pissed on their parade. So now they're
rejiggering the story to just be like cities, fuck you,
fuck you city. Oh man, it's just, yeah, all of
this tension that some people can put their finger on

(12:52):
and other people can't and just turns into some other
weird hottake that has nothing to do with what they're experiencing.
But welcome to kami Fornia. Thank you. Uh. And finally,
Top Gun Mission impossible and uh, most tragically of all,
Jackass forever all trended, they've all been pushed back, thanks

(13:13):
a lot Delta Burke from Designing Women. Um yeah, look,
Top Gun. They went from it was supposed to come
out in November one, you're gonna get that ship May two?
Mission impossible. You thought you were gonna get that May
twenty seven two. Well, we're just gonna Okay, you still

(13:35):
get a Tom Cruise movie on May twenty seven two,
but the Mission Impossible one will now move to September two,
and now Jackass has moved from October of this year
to February of next year. And we're just a calendar man. Yeah,
fucking I mean, that's just one of those things. When
you watched that trailer, I'm look, we saw it. We're like, oh,

(13:58):
this is fucking bit and I like it so stupid. Um,
But yeah, I mean it's uh, I don't know. They
we as we talked about on yesterday's episode, they won't
do a vaccine um requirement for movie theaters. And it

(14:21):
doesn't really make sense to me. It seems like they're
worried about the politics instead of worried about the the
bottom line, if you know what I'm saying. But yeah,
I think of the vaccine requirement is like that still
covers most of the country, Like, well, most of us
got the vaccine. We good, um, just keep theaters open,

(14:43):
let people go to movies who actually believe in science. Um.
But instead we're just gonna keep keep bumping shit out.
You imagine how pissed Tom Cruise is right now, you
sound wild on that crew were not wearing masks. I'm
surprised he doesn't go and funk a bunch of people

(15:04):
up like with that big scientology energy. Yeah, I think,
what does what does scientology believe? Do you think they're
because they're anti any sort of psychiatric stuff? But I
don't think they have a heart tache? Who knows. I'm
I wouldn't be surprised either way. Um, But more than that, like,
I know what Tom Cruise's idea is, and he wants

(15:26):
to make money off of his movies, and he wants
people to see him be old and you know, spry
at the same time, So I feel like this might
energize him. He's like, so I got to thinking I'm
going to convince these people and like whatever the fuck
he does. So yeah, alright, well those are the things
that are trending on this Wednesday afternoon. We are back

(15:49):
tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we'll
tuck you out tomorrow. By right,
