Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this edition of We've
got a real legend for a gold trender right now.
And I was gonna say I was going to try
and say something from the Boston Bruins Byron default. I
think Byron Dafoe is a good way to go here. Yeah, okay, hey,
it's site Ring Dafoe. I'm the gold trender for the
(00:21):
Boston Bruins, and welcome to this edition of the Trending Episode.
I'm Miles and I'm joined by Yamy Lofty. The fucking
what do you? What do you? What? Do you consider yourself?
The Lord of Boston? The Lord there? Listen, I don't know,
I mean Boston once again, he's uh, you know, there's
some pr issues there right now. And yeah, maybe we're
addition to ourselves from these last couple of weeks. You know,
(00:44):
it's people, people don't like, you know, it's any city,
you know. That's the problem with living in America. Um, okay,
everyone sucks. Let's talk trends for a second. Up top.
The biggest thing trending right now on this Friday is
Memorial Day. Um. I don't know, everyone like the way
(01:05):
Twitter's like people are, you know, looking back on the
celebration of this holiday or remembering what has happened. Um,
I I'm not I'm not even joking. I think I
didn't know what Memorial Day was actually for until college.
I did when I was younger. I always would mix
(01:25):
up Veterans Day Memorial Day because they're similar premises, except
that Memorial Day is for people who died in action. Right.
Would you get Veterans Day off first from school? I
think so, yeah, did you? It was weird? It was
like selective. I remember, like my school was really inconsistent
where I was like all right, and then there's that
nailed on like day in November we get off. But
(01:47):
I think it would only be like if it created
a three day weekend, is how it would work. So
really not honoring the troops. Okay, school administrators, just thinking
about yourself. Um, next up, Oh go on, we're gonna say, oh,
I don't know, I don't know. I just I don't
know it every every time, like, I'm glad that there
are holidays for veterans, but veterans are treated so terribly
(02:09):
in the US that it's just like, uh, I would
rather they did something. I mean, it's nice to have
a day off. But like it's America, you know what
I mean, It's about empty gestures, not like it's actually
we're going to have a barbecue about it and see
how it goes. I mean, you talk to anybody who's
anyone of anyone who served and tries to access their benefits,
(02:31):
it's like it's like they're playing a joke on them. Yeah,
how horrific. It's like, yeah, we got you to go
do all these things. You know, if you're in combat,
we've subjected you to all kinds of experiences you probably
didn't want to, but thanks anyway. Also, you need help,
I don't know I could. I mean, the funk are
you going on in the v A as well? I
(02:53):
keep going? But yeah, yeah, well people will hop off
on the next stop on the trend line. Because Harambe
is this someone. I'm surprised it's not bigger than Memorial
Day considering how dumb the Internet can be. But yeah,
Harambe five years to the day, Um it was taken
(03:14):
from the Internet. Yes, cruel Harambe really was a critical
member of the Internet. Were you. I feel like Harambe
mania kind of went over my head. I felt it
wash over me, but I didn't participate. I didn't engage
with it. I just know it was happening because it
was like stupid and and low key. The people who
(03:37):
are into it, I feel like, are like maga people
like low key, like if you're tuning to Harambe, like
I'm like, okay, full like your obsession with a guerrillas
like getting weird for me. I don't know what to say.
It's so bizarre to me that it was only five
years ago because it feels like an Internet time. It
feels like five trillion years ago. It feels like three
b C. It's like it's it's like it's almost like
(04:00):
canonized Internet culture that I would be like it predates
the screen saver that had the toaster with the wings
on it, or were talking about iconography the other reason
it's trending American icon Yeah, you know what. This was
also very predictable. We gotta fucking n f T coming
for fucking Harambe, so you can really do you. I've
(04:23):
had it. I've had it. Finally. I put off learning
what an n f T was for so fucking long.
I thought it was so many different things, and then
when I found out what it actually was Jesus Christ. Yeah,
this is I'm I'm sick. I'm like, it's n f
T s are I'll say it for losers, losers boom
(04:46):
nailed on you heard it? Oh wow? I mean like,
this is another tweet about Rombe. Like it's a photo
of Harambe on this day five years ago, Harambe was
murdered by state agents for helping a lost child. We'll
never forget. We'll never forgive rest to the angels, sweet prints,
we will avent. You shut the funk up, stupid all right,
I don't know, I'm really anti Harambe. Move. I don't
(05:08):
have time for it to you know, look, let's leave
it in the past. Let's just leave it in the past.
Let's move on to another great gem of content. Benghazi's trending.
That's because the Republicans have outright justus said no to
a commission on investigating the January sixth insurrection that had
you know, people armed, people just literally knocking on their door. Um,
(05:31):
so that has been uh, you know, completely I guess
stalled out because because the filibusters in place, it only
took thirty five Republicans to be fifty four other people
to vote for it, and that's how things work. Um,
and you know you're eventually they're just gonna politely hand
over the keys again in the mid terms because they're
(05:52):
not going to do anything like bold to impress the
people of the country that are in need to convince
them to vote for them, right, yeah, and then we'll
have to continue to vote blue no matter who, even
if who isn't doing ship again. Oh god, yeah, exactly.
And it's already come on, like, let's see if we
(06:13):
can work with them a little bit. Really, Joe, they
say they're saying no to fucking everything. We even worked
at them, and then they didn't vote for anything. What's
not Joe, let's revisit your views on Israel, you fucking turn.
That's the hardest part about this whole thing is like
there these moments where it's like, oh, wow, look at
the you know, the slight progress vaccine waivers kind of that,
(06:36):
that's interesting, that's new for an American president, and then
the same absolute just bone grinding nonsense. Um. It's just yeah,
the like the culture of like being like we have
no choice to but to stand a president who does
something that is good for people one time. It's just like, yeah, sure, yeah,
(06:56):
because I think people people have to baby be more
vocal to bully Democrats would be like, fully, dude, you
guys haven't done shit. And for some people who are
just paying attention, maybe this is the second election cycle
they've noticed. Is other people have noticed it for decades. Uh,
but you know, we'll see what happens. Ariana, Ariana Grandy
(07:17):
is trying. Um what happened? She got married. She released
a couple of pictures of it. That's literally it. I
don't know, like, well, you know, I I do enjoy
Ariana Grande songs, enjoy her. And then she she married.
(07:37):
She did something that I feel like celebrities do where
they'll like have a few high profile relationships all back
to back to back to back, and then they'll just
marry some random person and then and and it seems
like a better choice for them. She's marrying some like
guy who sells real estate. He's she's he's like a
Kroger brand. David said, yeah, he literally looks like Pete Davidson. Yeah,
(08:02):
he looks like a shorter like a shorter Normie Pete Davidson,
which is always good for her. Yeah, wrong with that
it's more like, oh, you have a type I do
we are? Do we as a nation? Do we as
a as a do we care about Pete Davidson's feelings?
I can never decide if I care about his feelings
or not. I guess there's no reason not. I mean
I wish him no ill will, but do am I
(08:23):
like checking up on him? No? How does Pete doing? In?
His ex got married? He's he's dating. Um God, I've
been listening to so many celebrity gossip podcasts. I don't
know what's wrong with me. He's dating oh no forever? Yeah,
and then they broke up and he started dating Ariana
(08:43):
Grande and now he's dating girl from Bridgerton. God only
knows what her name is. Wait with the one whose
name Bridgie Daphne? Yeah, oh look at you? Okay, I
know he's got another way. He's gone trending on Twitter though,
people like dude, Pete Davison's gonna quit usaid now or
some ship. It was like the other thing I saw too.
(09:05):
I mean, he's been on for kind of a long.
It's weird because it's like, oh, he's young, but he's
been on since he was like twenty or something. Yeah, yeah,
thinking about it, I can if Pete Davison leaves us
and I I don't know a little to the photos
look nice, her makeup iss. She looks breathtaking in these photos.
(09:26):
It's like twenty people, and I feel like Ariana Grande
was one of the at least front facing wise, she
was like one of the big celebrities that did not
have a big COVID scandal and actually seemed to be
taking ship seriously and had a small wedding too. Well,
she's had she's been through some ship man after that
bombing and stuff like I can only imagine the the
(09:50):
value reevaluation you do to your relationships with so many things,
and like yeah, um, which is funny you bring up
COVID scarce Kim Kardeshian is also trending because it turned
out the whole damn fam came down with COVID and
it halted production of Keeping Up with the Capitalists and
(10:12):
it didn't um well, it sounds like super producer Ana Hosnie.
She's introducing a bit of shade, a bit of theory here,
saying that it seems to it could create a possibility
that perhaps the infection occurred when she had that fantasy
island party. I mean that is that would make total
sense I was seeing. I'm yeah, there's like a whole
(10:35):
BuzzFeed news article about it by Ellie Woodward that attempts
to put together the timeline of when this could have
happened based on like clips of keeping up with the
Kardashian compared with their social media and like it's a
very scholarly endeavor. I don't quite know where they landed,
(10:55):
but it's like, these fucking assholes didn't Kim trending the
other day due to like a labor dispute and like
withholding wages from her gardeners. I'm pretty sure that was
just the other day. So the other the other thing
I saw was that she had failed like the baby
bar exam, like and I was like, are you not
(11:16):
really calling it? Is that what it's called? Because it
sounds very diminutive on purpose? But yeah, I don't know, like, yeah,
if an Earlionaire failed a test, I don't care. Yeah.
The arrogance of being like, yeah, just in the chaos
of the world, like just wanted to get my friends
together in a beautiful place to forget about COVID karma
would if you know, if the universe is ultimately arking
(11:38):
towards the positive. Uh, you know, but unfortunately, who knows
what would have happened to the people that had to
deal with all these other records. But yeah, it's like
you have to think about, like all the people who
are in the event. It had to have been a
ton of people who are put at risked by these
fucking ah it's frustrating. But sometimes, you know, every once
in a while you're like, oh, uh, you know Bill
(12:00):
Maher tested positive for COVID. Awesome, you know, like uh,
late in the game too, I think Anna was also saying,
like that's an embarrassment family, Like, yeah, that was like
a wealthy people like actively trying to use their money
to avoid being any anywhere near anything that would get
them sick. I don't I guess everyone that's different perspectives. Um, well,
(12:22):
good luck to whoever needs luck. I won't say kim Ka,
she has plenty of it. Ariana, Ariana Grandy shout out
to you. The wedding photos like fantastic, although I feel
like her brother is the kind of guy who would
have sold like low key photos to make his own money. Yeah,
I bet Frankie had the paps. Uh, Frankie had the
(12:43):
paps online one He's like, I'll cut part of the
bushes out so if he's a telephoto lens, you will
be able to get a very sneaky shot. And there's
too many celebrity siblings named Frankie because the Jonas Brothers
also have a rogue Frankie as well. Wait, there's a
non Well he's trying to be a celebrity. But yeah,
(13:04):
they have Like I remember from when I myself was
a Jonas Brothers fan in uh in junior high they
had a brother or last year in June nineteen. Uh there, look,
I have the screenshots. I was in a Jonas Brothers
music video in two thousand and eight. But Frankie was
(13:25):
their little brother who was too young to be in
the band because he was like eight. And now he's
like an adult and it's like, what about me, guys,
And I don't think anyone cares. Wow, well, love to
all the Frankiees. Always remember when Frankie Grande was on
Big Brother and he did the thirstiest reveal of who
(13:46):
he was and it was so fucked up and embarrassing
to watch, just because he was so like being like,
and my name and do you know someone else who's
this name? And it's like Arianna. I love how the
first person it was Bun got her name wrong and
he's like, yeah, are Yana? Whatever that to say. All
that to say, enjoy your weekends if you have a
(14:06):
long one, enjoy your long weekend. If not, you know,
enjoy your normal weekend or whenever your weekend. And some
people don't even have their weekends all this time. I
get we all have different work schedules, but I have
a great time when next few days we'll be back Tuesday,
because more royal days Monday. Um, and you know until then,
you know, fucking wash your hands and wear a maskt vaccinated.
You might even win a fucking pickup truck depending on
(14:26):
the stage here and look, check out the incentives for you, um,
and even go to a sports game like I did
last night. I went to the Laker game and I
was reprimanded for screaming too much at the players. We
did Disney on last week. We're re emerging, We're going
back into society. Nature is healing. The Lakers fans are
being toxic and hurling of you. Set the players on
the court. You be toxic at the Lakers game. It's
(14:48):
I know I'm toxic. Wow, toxic canon. All right, y'all. Also,
