Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Ever
Trending Stories. That is courtesy of Katie Didn't She didn't,
I'm Jack. That's Miles. It is, it is, it is
in April one. Here are some of the things that
(00:21):
are trending California. This might just be trending for me
because I lived there, but California has the lowest COVID
rates in the continental United States right now. Yeah, oh wow,
we did it. It's a good thing too, because the
lap D closed down all the vaccine sites and testing
(00:43):
sites because they were getting ready. They were real scared
how people were going to respond to oppression. Again, Yeah,
I think they were excited. Like my my whole neighborhood
was like you could hear like just helicopters everywhere. There's
a like Black Lives Matter demonstration after the verdicts in
(01:04):
front of the mayor's house, and it was just like
their police, their helicopters there were I think they were
like ready for a fight. They were like, yeah, let's
let's get it on of course, and uh that's yeah,
that's their whole in the whole States. I think since
that has happened, with all the statements that have come
out talking about there we can't do our jobs, and
(01:27):
they go anyways, that's that's good to hear. Keep keep
those masks on. California Princes trending because is it his
birthday that was going on? Is it his birthday or
maybe it's uh death the anniversary of his Yeah, it's
yeah death anniversary birthday, dude, it's like his death birthday, right,
(01:50):
the birthday of his uh posthumous yeah. Begetings of sixteen
people are like man used the worst ever never this
is never never a good idea, never a good idea
to be like and it can't get any worse than this.
(02:11):
Don't ever say that, I don't ever yea, It'll always
find a way to wow you in the future. Let's
tell the people about Pete and Bass. Uh not not
a Nickelodeon show, although it does seem like it. Pete
and Bass, No, they are older grime. They're like two
(02:34):
older grime mcs, and they they'll do a little bit
of drill sometimes. Uh, they'll get into all kinds of
They're just these fucking hip hop heads. It's a while
to watch them because they they're like their seventies eighties
and their bars are kind of I don't know who's
writing them, maybe that gang, you know, maybe there's somebody
(02:56):
behind this already. But they actually have flow, which is
what makes it, which is why I'm like, I don't
know if people are actually ghostwriting this, because they can
deliver it like they to me. I think they were
in their forties when hip hop came out, like OD
Damn I came out a little bit sooner, and they've
been working on their craft and now they're old as
(03:16):
ship and they're like, yeah, let's put in our put
our album out. So yeah, they they've got new um,
you know, they've got they got ship coming out. Uh.
And engineer Brian was just sending me a video and
I was like, I've been on Pete and Bass. Come on,
because it's just it's some weird just watching I don't know,
it's like something it's it's worth it's worth watching the video.
(03:38):
I couldn't follow the plot line of the video I
was watching. Um, but that's that's pretty standard for music videos.
They had like kidnapped somebody and then showed that kidnapped
victim to somebody who was paying them, and then they
were like, no, we don't want your money, We want
to play cards with you a little. The narrative structure
(04:01):
was a little bit hard to follow. Um, but I
think like in the end it meant that the other guy, Oh,
I'm just watching the end of that video when he
loses his hand, he now becomes their prisoner. Got it? Okay? Okay,
you know, no one said they were, you know, fucking
hype Williams with the videos. But when you when you
(04:24):
hear someone who clearly has been smoking filterless cigarettes for
sixty years, but like, yeah, who taught you making to
the five man, and you're like, oh shit, okah, okay,
all right, I got it. Yeah. It's like hearing somebody
rapping cock me or something like yeah, there you go,
(04:44):
these kids ryman cocked me over there. Um. Cruel Summer
is trending not because of the banana rama song. Uh,
not because of the Kanye West. It was that good
music experiment. Yeah, oh wait, what's what that was good?
(05:05):
There was good Summer, and then there was Cruel Summer.
Good Friday's Cruel Summer. Yeah that was yeah. This is
actually a teen drama that is the number one trending
thing on Google set in the years to the year. Uh,
(05:27):
so the peak of culture and it's a it's a
kidnapping mystery but it's on free Form, which my I'm
so washed that I didn't realize free Form was like
the new WB like that it's the home for Yeah,
it's like the home for teen dramas. It's pretty little
liars and ship like this find their home on free Form.
(05:49):
What wait? But so the series is just I get it.
So it's like that seventies shows show for them to
be like, oh man, remember remember when our parents were young? Right? Yeah?
For party show? But what if? Uh well whatever Ashton
Kutcher's character's name is what if he got kidnapped? Yo? WHOA?
(06:12):
This is a premise is heavy now that I read
this ship or I don't know, heavy as heavy as
a freeform team drama show can be. But when you
write it out, it says the show depicts the long
term effects of a kidnapping on a community in Texas,
focusing on three days over the course of years five
about two young women which one day disappear without a trace. So, okay,
(06:33):
whatever I mean, I think that's it. That's a zoomed
out way of saying the drama when these these girls disappear. Yeah,
but ship all right? Drama, Yeah, Jessica Bielle, you know
she's got the Center cred? Now she can she can
e p h a twisty turney mystery. Yeah, but can
(06:56):
she get justin timber like under control? That is the
question that more here on e um. Did you watch
the season three of The Center? No? Is that the
one with the little boy? No, that's too that's the
number two. Number two is a little Boy and the Colt. Yeah,
(07:17):
oh see, I only got halfway through that one. I
have not seen number three. I forget what number three was.
I just remember that I watched it. I just remember
it wasn't as good as the first one, and that
was my biggest disappointment. The first season of the Center
was really good. You guys talk that ship up to
I loved it. I love and it's saying. Season three
was Matt Bohmer. I don't know what the hell that means.
(07:38):
What that means? We're old? Who is that is that?
Someone on TikTok? He's an adult man? Oh? This guy? Yeah?
Season three was wild. I haven't seen this one. Oh yeah,
did you see his face? So it's all him and
his homie like her in this two person like nietzscheck cult.
(08:01):
It's very weird and then he like goes off the
deep end, but like he has a connection of course
with Number one sinner himself, Bill Pullman, and uh, I
think that's his name, right, I always get him I
pacts and confused, but I think it is Pullman and yeah, woman,
(08:22):
The whole premise of that show is like what if
this cop had a dark side? If with people with
dark side? But it's a good performance. I really, I
really like that show. Jacob Blake is trending because not
only will the police officer who shot him seven times
(08:43):
in the back not be charged, he won't face internal discipline.
So we're just getting all sorts of reminders that you
know that what we saw in the Choven trial is
is on a exception a complete it was. It's an
(09:03):
anomalous response, uh, from a system of oppression that isn't
far from being dismantled, and no internal discipline like that
is I mean, yeah, I don't know that there's Well,
I think all people need to be in doing more
(09:25):
is to really trying. I mean, and I think we
can also have more people on the show to to
actually talk about this because we always talk about how
there's a lack of imagination for what to do, and
I think it is important to really be able to
because we can't just keep reading these stories and not
pivot to something, and to begin talking immediately about all
of the ways we can do something immediately that's substantive,
(09:48):
that isn't like a sentiment um, that is actually, you know,
talking to the actual people, the activists who are making
it their life's work to present us with alternatives to
this kind of thing um. And I'm hoping that we're
at a point now where we can I mean, I
feel like our show maybe a little bit different than
(10:09):
just generally a tone of other news shows that are
in mainstream media, but that that is a thing where
they can even say, like we just keep going like,
oh my god, it happened again. This is awful. Now
we need to talk about how we're going to change it,
how we're going to make it better, Why we need
(10:30):
to dismantle things like why it's it's good to have
an idea of what is possible, um, because I'm I'm
running out of like the outrage to keep looking at
the same fucking problem and just look at a like
a you know, society that is just completely not equipped
to do something about it. And finally, Joe Biden is
(10:52):
giving tax giving companies tax incentives for giving people time
off to get the scene is the convoluted ass way
that uh the Democratic Party goes about get like trying
to do ship. Yeah, just money here, dude, We'll pay
(11:14):
you to let them to make sure they get vaccines.
That has that help. I guess, yeah, I guess we
could do that. When I saw a tax incentive for
COVID vaccines, I was like, Oh, we're gonna like make
it financially worthwhile for these Trump supporters to get the shot. Like, fine,
let's do it. Let's just like get the ship over
(11:37):
and done with and not we gotta we gotta make
it part of a plan to support big small businesses
and uh, make there be like five chains of different
like convoluted legal ease that people can use to I
don't know, get to get their way at loophole and ship.
(11:58):
It's just so frustrating, but you gotta you gotta make
make work for the technocrats, you know, and the law
students who basically form the vast majority of the people
and in that like kind of upper crust decision making realm.
(12:20):
Yeah alright, well that's frustrating, but it is what is
trending right now. We are back tomorrow with the whole
last episode of the show featuring Roy Would Jr. What
the fuck O? What fuck? Yeah? So tune in for
that and until then, be kind to each other, be
(12:42):
kind to yourselves, wear math, don't do nothing about white supremacy.
We'll talk to you all about fight
