(00:24):

preparation for it, just to warm the TV up. Got
the TV. Literally, I haven't watched cable since the pandemic started,
so I like had to make sure that I knew
which I knew that the cable was working, because you've
just been straight streaming. Yeah, just streaming, So I don't know.
(00:44):
There's nothing on on cable that I need other than sports.
So yeah, yeah, let's tell the people what's trending, shall we. Yeah, um,
earthquake is trending, not the comedian, the geological phenomenon. There
was an earthquake in Los Angeles. Yeah that I have
(01:06):
the whole Internet talking and like locals like for me
and my friends who like we slept through the night
like the north Ridge nightmare in Yeah, I only woke
up because my my, my, my mother was screaming to
drag me out of the bed and then like wouldn't
let me go to the bathroom because we were too
(01:27):
shook by aftershocks. So I just had to pee my
pants under the bed or under the dining Yeah. I
was like, yo, let me go to the bathroom, Like no,
it's not safe. I'm like, then I'm gonna pee right now.
And stuff fall off your walls and stuff. Yeah, oh yeah,
yeah yeah, ship broke, lates fell out the cabinet and
ship it was. It was wild. And then I remember
shouted to my boy Nick, who you met, handsome Nick
(01:50):
who has been to the office. Yo, he almost got
killed by a bookcase when we were kids in the
ninety four earthquake. Like he almost got straight crushed, but
by the grace of God, he was like like slept
in different position where he was not gonna get smushed
by like this like oak book sleeping at the bottom
of his bed or whatever. And I guess we should
stop storing all our knives in my two year old's room. Yeah.
(02:12):
That knife mobile that you have over the bed is
a little I mean it's funny, but like it is
not safe. And then the little ship loves it. I mean,
kid's crazy. For it, especially ives the ones that have
a rustall on the tips man think it's hilarious because
it snow when it rains down on him. But it
does seem like there's a lot of activity happening this
(02:34):
year of late the old San Andreas. So I will
just across. Yeah, yeah, the Cascadia, gotta watch out for that.
I was up further north in California on like a
cliff and just thinking about that old Cascadia, which is
like the big um happens once every hundred years, but
(02:59):
it's apparently about to go off. The Cascadia subduction zone,
the subduction. Yeah, yeah, that's that'll be a big one.
Lakers are trending. I don't know why. Los Angeles Lakers
round ball coming. Yeah, they're playing the Clippers. I don't
know what the Clippers aren't trended. I think is you know,
(03:22):
like Patrick Beverley and lose out. So there's like there's
a lot of I think there's more excitement about what
the Lakers could do than what the Clippers can do
right now. I think just from people's chatter, you know, yeah,
how to get those wings, wasn't it? Didn't He he
went to Magic City right to get wings his magic city.
I thought the magic city was a strip club. Yeah
it is. Oh he went to a strip club to
(03:43):
get wings. Yeah is that what he said? The wings
their legend. They just have the best wings. And and
I was reading something and I don't know if it's true,
but um, he actually has wings named after him on
that menu in there, Yeah, for like the lemon pepper
or I don't know if it's his lemon pepper. But
(04:03):
there was like there was some talk. It's like, well,
you know what I mean, like he went in town.
You know, you gotta stop by, so classic. Yeah, I
mean we are. On the other hand, it seems like
the whole league is back and doing this because Lebron
wants wants another championships, So it makes sense that the
Lakers would be trending a little bit more. Yeah, hopefully
(04:27):
it's uh yeah. To have it like restart like this
and have these like seeding games and then go into
like a post season's really odd, but you know whatever,
Like everything's a fucking a movie on an airplane now,
So I'm just like whatever comes. I'm like, yeah, great, whatever,
this is sure, sure, this is sports. This is the season. Yeah,
that's a good way to put it. Everything is a
movie on an airplane. Yea Palm Springs. Best movie I've
(04:50):
ever seen. Yeah, one of the greatest ones of all time.
John Lewis is trending. His funeral has been happening all
day today. Throughout the day. UM had some eulogies from
George W. Bush, your Bill Clinton's, your Baracks Obama. The
(05:13):
Bill Clinton one was very questionable. He was like John
Lewis was, you know, it didn't need like paying him
as like the reasonable alternative like Stokey car Michael and
people like it, like thank god, Stoke we didn't win
out on that. It's like, Okay, please go away, dude,
Like you've got got a ton of question marks over
(05:35):
your head, so like, please please vacate the building. But
I know, like, who was a Jennifer Holiday Who's saying
Apparently that clip was going off, so I have a
feeling that she quite literally said, Hi, welcome to church. Yes,
the like most of the trending things are related to
the John Lewis funeral. Like Jennifer, She's trending. Obama's trending. Obviously,
(06:02):
Obama kind of came for Trump a little bit was
pretty critical, not never saying his name, but talking about
how we got the federal government using uh tear gas
on protesters. Uh and you know, talking about how we
need to uh use the strengthen the Voting Rights Act um,
(06:25):
which we do. Interesting that came on. Interesting that came
on the day that Trump announced that he wants to
delay the election. But uh, yeah, it turns out we
still need that ship. And finally, Inglewood is trending, possibly
just around us, but where what matters? Yeah, we'll talk
(06:46):
about that. Well. I mean, I think it's a it's
a tale of violent gentrification in the city of Los
Angeles Inglewood. Uh. You know, they're clearing out the part
of the city to build a new stadium for the Rams.
Because of the fucking evil piece of it. Stand, Cronki
does what he does best is getting the city to
give him a lot of money to build a stadium
and then he can do whatever the funk he wants after.
(07:07):
But I think just when you consider the state of
the city, especially the city of Inglewood, and the needs
of that city to just PLoP down this fucking grotesque stadium.
The reason we got trending is because they filled the
lake there's an artificial fucking lake around this thing, and
just the site of it is just sort of like
in the middle of this city that has the pot
(07:29):
The roads are awful, like awful, like people have to
fix them themselves. Uh, the schools need support, but yet again,
let's just dump this thing in there and then begin
building sort of you know, unaffordable housing for for the
people that live in the area. So yeah, I think
it was half like people were depending on what part
of l A Twitter you were on, it was like
people whould be like, whoa, the stadium looks pretty cool.
(07:51):
Other people were just aghast um at just sort of
like this thing. I think when also too, with construction,
when you're not driving, it's easy you to lose track
of the progress of things that are being built when
you don't have like that usual like drive right, because
they're ship that's gone up in the city. I was like,
what the funk happened to this part of town? And
I'm like, that's right. I've been here four months and
(08:13):
in that time, uh, kind of the reverse of that
jack in the box by our office was gone down gone. Also,
Amibia Records moved the whole New World the whole new
world without Jack and Box. Yeah, it is interesting. There's
(08:36):
I just have a lot of cronky hate too, because
he also owns a majority of Arsenal. So yeah, I
was like, that's a little that's pretty anyone who's anyone,
any sports fan whose paths have crossed with stand cronky.
It only leaves a trail of angry piste off people,
uh and sit like St. Louis Rams fans. I feel,
(08:57):
I honestly feel, y'all, I really do, because he really
played the fucking city. Um. But yeah, it was neconnect
between what we need food for the you know, thousands
and thousands of people who are going hungry, or an
artificial lake in Inglewood. Those are the top two uh priorities.
(09:17):
That just feels like a moat to be honest, you
know what I mean. Like when you look at it,
you're like, I don't know, this just feels like an
anti working class people water body of water like protect
the main building. But yeah, it's just really Yeah, it's
something about the lake though that feels just so aggressively
artificial and like fuck you, um that Yeah, I think
(09:39):
that's really what it's that it's the site of it
that really makes people kind of spell understandable. Alright, guys,
that is what's trending this afternoon. That's going to do
it for today. We'll be back tomorrow with the whole
last episode of our podcast. Until then, be kinder yourselves,
(09:59):
the kind to each other, wash your hands, stand side,
wear a mask, and don't do nothing about white supremacy.
We will talk to you all tomorrow, ye later m
