Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I
Want to trend Away. I wanna that away. Yeah, that
is courtesy of geek cre eate Uh Discord. Shout out
to you all. Shout out to the Discord. I'm Jack.
That's mild. These are the things that are trending here
(00:23):
on Monday afternoon. Paul v. Mayweather. The internet is still
a buzz over the boring Pates. Yeah, exactly. I mean
I've seen uh clips where it looks like Mayweather knocked
him out and then held him up the whole time.
I've seen clips where Paul seems to be throwing a
(00:46):
bunch of big punches that don't really land. Um the
first round. I watched the whole damn fight. I had to,
and again I did not pay. Shout out to the
sixteen year old family member at this party was at
like when we were all trying to find a way
to watch it for free, like instantly summoned a Twitter
like a Twitter stream, and I was like, I'm used
(01:08):
to that child. You'd be like I can find this
for free, and people like it's on a pay per
view and then cut to them be like, oh, this
kid's the chosen one. The torch has been fully passed,
but yeah to Paul as the greatest boxer of generation.
It was just clear like at a certain point in
(01:28):
the first round, uh logan, Paul tried to like just
just just wail on him to try and get a knockout,
and then he gassed himself on that. And then after
a while it really did look like Mayweather was like
being a very kind god where he's like I'm gonna act.
It felt like, I will teach you a lesson about boxing.
You talk all this ship, I will show you how
(01:49):
dead you. I will take you to the eighth round
so you can see what it's like to have to
actually be active, be defensive and attack. And it was
unsatisfying because I think the whole reason people tuned in
and then I wanted to watch the mother get knocked out. Yeah,
you want to see him get fucking rocked like rock mine. Um,
But it didn't happen, and you know what, whatever, they
(02:13):
all got their thirty five million a piece or wherever
the funk that was so and his brother got to
say that he won the fight, which was very frustrating. Um.
The best where they at the end of a round
where clearly, just like, oh my god, this guy's gassed.
They'd cut to his brother and there are a couple
where he didn't realize he was on camera and he's like,
(02:34):
my brothers are about to get destroyed, and then the
camera and he's like, hey, it's all good man, three
rounds to two. I got it at three rounds and
you're like, you were just sweating your little weird ass outfit.
Oh yeah, but yeah, man, this this is gonna be
a thing from now on, like celebrity versus actual boxer,
(02:56):
because they made so much money. I know so many
people who got this fight or at least illegally streamed it.
Like the there were a lot of eyeballs yeah yeah, um,
and like the the sentiment seemed to range from damn,
(03:17):
he could have knocked him out and didn't and to like,
I'm kind of impressed that, uh, Paul made it all
the way. Um yeah. But I think when you couple
that with Mayweather saying like I wasn't going to knock
him out, you're like, you weren't really fighting Floyd Mayweather.
You Floyd. You were in the ring with Floyd Mayweather
as he got over a million dollars per minute to
(03:38):
not be punched. Um. So yeah, but this is gonna
open the door up to more. I think this is
the first steps towards the MTV Claimation series celebrity Deathmatch
right come to life. There is Unfortunately, this Trump O'Reilly
Tour will not be a celebrity deathmatch where they beat
(03:59):
the ship it out of each other for our amusement.
They are planning on going on a what Trump is
calling a history tour of his presidency where he redefines
the history of his presidency so that he can claim
to be the greatest president of all time. I you know,
(04:20):
I mean O'Reilly writes is like a best selling author
of fake like revisionist histories of like all the presidential assassinations.
Says like a thing that right part of the O'Reilly
brand post disgrace. Um and Trump needs needs some revision.
(04:40):
So uh, I'm sure it'll be very successful. It's going
to be throughout Florida and Texas in December. Um and
I don't know, I'm just wait. It really needs to
revive his image. I'm just waiting for the other shoe
to drop on it, like for him to be successful
and like the build towards to begin, because I just
(05:04):
don't trust America to continue doing what they're currently doing,
which is ignoring him and only paying attention, uh to
notice whether his pants are on backward zone. And that's
what we'll see with how hungry the media gets again,
like damn, yeah, not better when we give this white
supremacist destroyer a ton of attention. Yeah. Um. And but
(05:30):
fortunately we can trust the mainstream media. They're always have
the populace's best interest in mine. Um. There is a
visual chart. There's a visual chart of the interactions with
Trump's statements before and after the ban that is pretty remarkable.
(05:51):
I mean, it's what, it's what you would expect, but
it's just wild to kind of see it. It's the
New York Times put it out, and it's just a
massive cloud of you know, just huge, so many statements
that he was putting out there. They were getting covered,
they were getting retweets, getting lots of likes. Um, you
know the ones that stand out. I won this election
(06:11):
by a lot four point seven million interactions. The first
lady and I tested positive for COVID nineteen got four
point six million, um. And then and it's just like
this massive cloud of all these statements. Um, and then
the band happens and there's just like this tiny little
trickle with like a couple that get a lot but
(06:33):
not not as much as they used to. And it's
just yeah, it really is shocking that it took that
long for the social media companies to be like, oh,
this person is the dictator who's trying to I mean,
it's it's easy to not see that when you're not
you know, you're in a socioeconomic class where the threat
(06:55):
of something like that isn't real. You're like, I don't
real It's it's great a memo, par pork. I just
bought three houses around me. Um. Yeah, and I love
my neighbors because I don't I bought them out of
their homes right. Um. Anyways, Uh, we will be interesting
to see how this holds up two years from now,
(07:20):
um or two years from January, I guess u. Jamal
Hill is trending. Uh, What's what's going on with Jamal Hill?
You know, Jamal Hill just saying things like, you know,
with Joe Manchin not supporting the For the People Act,
you know, the massive voter voting reform bill that he
is in fact upholding white supremacy, um and the fact
(07:40):
that he won't even consider adjusting or altering the filibuster
again a relic of white supremacy that continues into our
modern day. Just like, yeah, that's that's all this is.
That's what this is. Um. So I was like, yeah, no, no,
that that that all tracks because this is the arguments
he's laid out in terms of why he doesn't want it.
(08:01):
They just don't make sense. And we'll talk about that
a little bit more in tomorrow's episode. But yeah, it's, uh,
there's it's hard to look at it and say this
is for any other reason except you're somehow you you
you you know, you're just more of a secret Republican
white supremacist and you realize getting letting everybody vote might
not be great for that agenda. Is I'm confused why
(08:24):
it's it's just because people love to like people on
the right love to hate her or something. But yeah,
i'd imagine it's controversial. I'd imagine I think people are thinking, like,
get her off at ESPN. It's like she's not on
ESPN any if you remember that. But it's true. I
mean it's like, really, I think another way to really look.
(08:44):
I think also to create more pressure on Joe Mansion
to be like, this isn't about you, saying like, well,
how can Republicans are behind it? Know that what you're
functionally doing is allowing all of these just rancid voter
suppression bills that are aimed at disenfranchising voters of color. Um,
that's you not getting behind this. Uh you know, hr One,
(09:07):
That's all you're doing is you're just letting this slide
and letting it. You know, you're just letting it rock
out there, and you have the chance to make things
evil equal, but he wants to make things even mm
hmm um. And finally, the NBA playoffs continue to happen. Uh,
your team got bounced unfortunately. Um it looked that was
(09:31):
I can say man, Devin Booker and Jake Cred cooked
our asses, fucking deep fried our ship. It was unbelievable. Um,
it is what it is. I'm not I was saying,
like on Instagram and stuff. It's so like I get it.
There's Laker fans suck because there's a lot of Laker
(09:53):
fans that are just these bandwagon fair weather fans who
just turn toxic the second we don't win, and I'm
used to seeing us not. We haven't won a chip
in years until last year, and I'm I'm here watching,
I'm like, yeah, whatever, it is what it is. Um.
But like when people start being like Kuzma, he's got
to go to China man with that kind of play,
(10:15):
like it's not it's like, dude, he's he's overperforming on
his contract. Let's be real, um. And I just, you know,
I just look at it like this, We're gonna go
back Polinka, who knows what kind of stunts he's gonna pull,
um and see what we do. But right, you know,
it is what it is. There's no there's nothing you
can say aside from yes, we've played more than any
(10:35):
other team. But I'm not really interested in excuses from saying, yo,
big up to them. They came to fucking play. Their
shooting was unreal, and that's what happens when you have
when you rely on two stars who are completely unfit. Yeah,
I mean, it's the fact that it's shocking that A
to CB two seventh seed, like they were the one
(10:56):
of the better teams in the league all season and
you know, I had some big knife and one of
the Lakers best players got hurt. One of the best
players in the league got hurt and wasn't there for
the last two games. I don't know. I I feel
like there because there's so many Lakers haters and because
Lakers fans are like immediately like seen as suspicious and
(11:20):
have to be like, well, I'm not making excuses. It's
just it's being turned into a bigger thing than it
really is, which is that any other team, your best
player gets hurt, like and that best players, like one
of the top five players in the league, and everyone's
gonna be like, oh, that sucks, man, that that's what
happens in the NBA, especially when you like that seems
to have been a thing that happened to everybody who
(11:43):
went deep in the bubble. Is that like they had
a lot of injuries this year. Um, So I feel
like it's kind of being overblown. Um, but that's what
sports media is there for. Um. Trey young Man. Trey
Young is terrifying. You You ever fully appreciate how good
a player is until you have to root against him.
(12:04):
And the seventy sixers played Trey Young. Young Man for
the Hawks like very young. I think he's great for
the Hawks young point guard. That's where that's where I
am two years young. Yeah, and he is just next level,
like you know, shoots it from uh beyond thirty feet,
(12:28):
has a floater that's unstoppable. Um yeah, and the sixers,
you know what I mean. Yeah, shout out to him.
I see it, baby, I know the clocks ticking. There's
a lot of a lot of you know, bald talk
on NBA Twitter for you know, his hairline and kind
of weird do and uh Durant had like kind of
(12:52):
a People were saying he just needs to give it
up because he's got a bald spot on the back.
You know what do you think all that needs to
do is? I think that's the thing we have to
go up against. Two is like this idea like, oh,
how is he a star in ball or how is
he sorry his hairline on all week? I don't because
he's a basketball players on a fucking hair model. Um,
(13:12):
that were the case, you'd be like, yeah, is this
the best hair model we have? But no, this guy
is a fucking athlete and he's doing what you gotta do.
But I see your struggle, and I honor anybody who's
just doing what you got at this is your head baby,
living out how you want to. But that ten draft
classman looking Luca and Trey who were traded for each other. Um.
(13:35):
But this also it feels like there is a change
happening in the NBA. Uh where like it used to
be that like Steve Nash's sons, who are all offense, uh,
wouldn't go deep and like it was just it always
when it when it came back to the playoffs, it
would always be like the team that was best on
defense would pull it together. But now the Nets look incredible,
(14:00):
um and unstoppable the Hawks again, like really, you know
it's only game one in both series, but they both
just look kind of impossible to stop. Yeah. Hey, Ben
Simmons says he wants to he wants to defend, he
wants to take on Tree Young. Okay, so that's fine.
Maybe yeah, he just becomes makes the Sixers too easy
(14:22):
to stop on the offensive side. Um. But I'm what
I'm currently not wearing my Sixer's hat, which I usually
wear because when I was wearing it, they got down
by thirty points in the first half, so I took
it off and then they played better. So I'm taking it.
I'm leaving it off until till the end of the
playoffs because my brain is broken by back. I like,
(14:45):
how idiotic we can become, screamed all that ship when
I went to Staples Center, and then you're like, how
the funk are we the center of the sports universe?
Sort of it was I'm sorry, I'm I'm gonna take
that one. But that's the I think that's like just
this like projection that we do as fans sometimes, or
(15:06):
you just you're so invested in it and you even
see your own actions. Yeah, it happens when you're in
mourning for the loss of a loved one and when
you're a sports fan, just your brain stops working. Good
luck to everybody. I'm looking forward to Uh, I'll still
watched because Van the play from some of these players
(15:27):
is really object is back to playing like next level?
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah damn. More on that later. All right,
that is what is trending this afternoon. We are back
tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
(15:48):
the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll talk
you out more. But
