Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of iced
Trended Caramel Machiato. Uh, let's make it a BENTI a
trend t Are you hold on that? You actually have
to sign a waiver if you want a trend of
just pure sugar. That is courtesy of one Miles Gray,

(00:21):
A straight off. I wish I had something a bice
I'm jack. That is Miles Uh coming to you from
Tropical climbs unknown. Got the sleeves rolled up, showing off
the guns, off the big dog t you know, oh
hell my favorite sign fetch have you had that? Since

(00:44):
those were actually a gift from comedian Caroline Goldfarb' it's
a cherished, a cherished possession. Now, well miles back here
in these United States here a couple of things that
are trending. Valedictorian is trending because a Texas high school

(01:05):
valedictorian in the Dallas area gave a speech in which
she put the whole reproductive rights conversation into contexts very
clear well uh expressed way this young woman, Paxton Smith
did the old I love this little bit of high

(01:25):
school funcker where you're like, yeah, yeah, this is my
speech that you get approved, right, and then on the
day she's like, you know what, I really need to
talk about the lack of agency that people have over
their bodies. And you know, when you look at Valedictoris
is the promising young people coming out of going into
the world and towards the end of their academic careers.
And she said here in this speech quote, I cannot

(01:46):
give up this platform to promote complacency in peace where
when there's a war on my body, into war on
my rights. I have dreams and hopes and ambitions every
girl graduating today does. And without our input and without
our consent, our control over that future has been stripped
away from us. We cannot stay silent. You know, this
is a response after Greg Abbott signed new uh, you know,

(02:07):
an abortion ban um that's you know, one of these
fetal heartbeat bills, and the school district lost their minds
because they were like the response is now almost like
they're like, we'll be like, we'll fucking take a hook
vaudeville style and yank them off the fucking bodium if
we have to. And I don't know how they're going
to ensure that, but it's uh, I don't envy whoever

(02:30):
the next valedictorian is. Um, that's very frustrating that they
didn't just back uh the smartest of them to express herself.
And also she made it uh pretty inarguable. Do they
have complaints about what she said on the grounds of
what she said or they're just I mean, I think
it's more vague of like, you know that was prompter. Yeah,

(02:53):
I mean, but yeah, that's unfortunately sorry that you have
people are trying to speak truth to power when they
have a platform to do that, and what they're saying
is not a lie. So you know, I'm glad that
the kids out here are using it to to say
ship like that versus you know, saying like jackass references
or something like probably I would have done twenty years.

(03:14):
Clippers are trending. This is a Los Angeles professional basketball
team who are down three two and their UH series
first round series. The Lakers are planned tonight there second
best player is injured with a groin injury, which is
never good, and they're playing a really good team, the

(03:35):
Phoenix Suns, the two seed. Um, it's been a mess
of injuries this year for the Lakers because I think
I think at least partially because they started the NBA
season way too soon after after the like the heat
went on the first round. Yeah, yeah, so I think
it it You can see that it rests is important

(03:57):
when you're athletic machine and you're one thing is to
run and as hard as you can constantly. Yeah, but yeah,
I mean I love the meme that they showed of Rondo.
There's like one of Rondo looking at the back of
Kauai's head and Rondo has a confused face and said,
like the funk I thought you're supposed to be better
than Bron, but you know, we're struggling. But I'm definitely
I might be the Hennessy meme tonight. Uh, depending on

(04:20):
how things go, but I am hoping Lebron Kim Lebron.
What's the Hennessy meme? There's a dude who's like Horno
has a Hennessy like this, like, well, you know, I
do feel like I don't know, it would be understandable.
Let Lakers fans would be calling for both Lebron James

(04:41):
and the coaches. They're sure immediately Snoop already is this
call him for? Who? Yeah? Vogel, Yeah, all of them
we soft and ship like yeah, I mean I get it,
but look like, let this ship happen, Like, don't be
so a reactionary. I'm reactionally the other way where I
go in with three billion percent confidence even if it's
completely toxic. But then I'll wait before I go into

(05:03):
the rage moment. You know. They talk about like how
every championship you should have like a grace period of
you know, a few seasons, um. But with Lakers fans,
I feel like they are the one group that you
have the grace period of the off season and then
they're going to start riding your ass. I mean when

(05:24):
we're losing games, and there was definitely a cohort of
people like I don't know if fucking Vogel knows what
to do. It's like we don't have a D or
liberal Are you serious? Were the number one rated defense?
It's okay whatever, right, That's it's also a veriading when
like you can't even see these very specific things that
we're doing well and it's all just because like we're
not number one team. Friends at work make fun of me.
I don't like Vogel must go. Uh. Luca don chech

(05:48):
Is has been a lot of fun to watch that
series just in general has been a lot of fun
to watch. Lua that left footed off balance shot he
hit like that looked like he was just trying to
funk with him. I was like, Okay, the one step
back from three ye believable. The Damian Lillard classic from

(06:09):
two nights ago was unbelievable. Again, just seeing people we've talked,
we talked about this in the bubble, and we're wondering
if the shooting was better in the bubble because they're
always shooting in the same gym. But Lillard is just
once again doing things that uh suggests there is a
glitch in the matrix right that he has discovered and

(06:30):
is exploiting. UM D NBA playoffs, you gotta love it.
And my seventies sixers moved on UM but are facing
a I think a very scary Atlanta Hawks team that
and Joel embiid is has a meniscus here, so he's
gonna be day to day. Uh so well, we shall see.

(06:53):
Maybe you can count on Ben Simmons. Huh, we will
see that. Did you see that tweet? I was like
Devin Booker getting double teamed at like twenty three, Trey
Young getting double teamed blah blah blah Ben Simmons. Then
it just moved on like the future looks bright. Yeah. UM,

(07:14):
all right, here's one uh hashtag that I think we've
all been waiting for. Fauci lied people died, thank you. Um.
This is something that we kinda got. We we talked
on today's episode actually about how um you know, the
they Foy had thousands of his emails and the ship

(07:36):
that people were finding, uh was just pathetically boring. Um,
this dude is boring as hell. Um. But so what
the conservative um people on social media now are doing,
including Megan McCain, uh is like fin pulling, like cherry

(07:58):
picking emails from very early on in the pandemic, when
the scientific consensus was uh that masks should not be
worn by everybody because we had to conserve them for
medical workers. Um, or when hydroxy cloric quin like people
might have worked. We didn't know yet. Um, we don't
know now, um, And they're being like, see he lied

(08:20):
hydroxy chloroquin is the cure, um because he said that
it might work early on, before we had done the
medical research to realize it didn't. They. Yeah, so it's
just it's impossible that this won't be taken out of
context and turned into yes, something, it's not mean, because

(08:41):
it's not. It's never about actually the like whatever the
truth is. It's just all you know, rhetorical barbs that
they're trying to create out of these emails. And like
she see, it wasn't just Trump. Yeah, Dr Fauci was
the President of the United States, that's what Yeah. M hmmm, um, yeah,
I mean Fauci had to be the President of the

(09:03):
United States on this thing because our president was uh,
just incapable, just wildly incapable, all right. And then finally,
uh Grimes um putting the grim in Grimes with with

(09:24):
this TikTok video where she has just found out about um,
the promise of automation. Um. She's like, you guys, we're
never gonna have to work again because automation. Um, so
we can all be communists. And then she apologized, but

(09:47):
she apologized for people who thought she was a communist.
She's like, guys, I'm not a communist, don't worry, um,
but it's a chill technocrat, that's right. This let's just
we'll just play it because it it sounds like what
I imagine the people like when Jaden Smith and Elon

(10:07):
Musk and like all these like pseudo intellectual type people
get together, they like, get this one shred of an
idea and then they go, yep, I'm not gonna give
him much more thought than this, because everyone agreed at
the time I said it, and here we go. I
have a proposition for the communists. Um So, typically most
of the communists I know are not big fans of
a I. But if you think about it, AI is

(10:28):
actually the fastest path to communism. What Grimes hold up?
You said? Okay in a good way, I hope, go on,
Professor Grimes. So if implemented correctly, yeah, big caveat, that

(10:49):
should be the entire the implementation, rather than yeah like okay,
because the racist police algorithms will only round up a
certain look of person but longer. I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to terrupt your lecture. Correctly, AI could actually theoretically
solve for abundance, Like we can totally get to a
situation where theoretically nobody has to work, everybody is provided

(11:14):
for with a comfortable state of being comfortable living. A
I could automate all the farming weed out systematic erruption,
thereby bringing us who as close as possible to genuine equality,
So basically everything that everybody loves about communism, but without
the collective farm, because let's be real, enforced farming is

(11:35):
really not a vibe. Okay, I don't know where to
go with this aside from yikes, but yeah, I mean, like, really,
I can't imagine when you're with your capitalist emerald pocket
husband that he's not having his own ideas about how

(11:57):
he can get the jump on AI so he can
be the one at the levels of this thing that
will create your utopia or whatever. This Yeah, no, I mean,
this would be theoretically great if we used a I too,
then let people stay home and just collect a paycheck.
But we live in America. I'm I'm maybe I should

(12:20):
be be giving her more slack because she doesn't live
here and doesn't realize how um the thing that actually
have although she is dating a billionaire who is the
beneficiary of the entire reason that that that her idea

(12:41):
isn't gonna work, which is that we will um automate
things and then the owner of the company will take
all the money and will not give any of it
to anybody else, right, because that's the only way. Yeah,
that's that's what it is. I just love all the
me that are coming out just after this and people

(13:02):
be like, what is this? Like they're also saying like
she's done that thing where she's hung around her husband
too much and now she's talking just like him, whereas
it's like a bunch of weird, loose ideas but like
with a lot of confidence, and everyone's like, oh my god, yep,
that's it, thank you, That's what I've been saying, Grimes.

(13:22):
She also, um has like face designs, facial tattoos that
are yeah, marker things, yeah, marker things maybe, but it
looks like stencil. It looks like the very like basic
my first stencil that we give to my kids, like
that has just like little shapes, right. I mean, obviously

(13:43):
we're not even waste our time parsing through the fact
that I'm not sure she even knows what communism is, um,
but just maybe she thinks it's socialism, but um, maybe
she thinks it's something to do with like real like
literal agriculture, right or because like when her capitalists has
been is like dude, what okay, So then we'll go
to communism and then everyone has to work, like be

(14:04):
laborers on the big farm. And she's like, what, yeah, exactly,
and then next j C C three oh five six
dash two, we'll have to you know, probably labor the
second he's of age. It's it's gonna be terrible crimes. Okay, Yeah,
that's not a vibe. Ellen super producer on a Hosnier

(14:24):
has positive that you may not talk communism while laying
on a chase lounger Sean one. Yeah, she looks very
man laid back, laid back vibes, laid back technocrap vibes.
I mean it should be disqualified once you hit a
billion dollars once or are procreating with somebody who has

(14:48):
a billion dollars. Uh, you should not be allowed to
try to think about money for other people ever you
were just Yeah unless somehow like that you became a
billionaire because like the Earth donated it to you because
they felt so bad for you, then that would take
a tremendous, sob story for that to happen. Yeah, but

(15:10):
even then, once you once you've got it, you would
immediately lose all sense of reality. Um as it relates
to money. Um, I mean I know people, man, I
haven't ever met a billionaire, but I can only imagine
what I'd be like, Huh, that guy didn't what was that?
The dude was drinking like water out of a weird

(15:31):
like machine cup I've never seen. It's like, yeah, they
don't drink our regular water. That's it's a whole other level.
Please back away, as we're going to find out that
the white tic TACs are all just like billionaire crafts
that are just doing something very stupid for them, like
fetching them bottled water from uh an alternate dimension which

(15:56):
helps them avoid wrinkles. Anyways, all right, those are four
things that are in fact trending right now Thursday afternoon.
We hope you guys are doing all right out there.
We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to yourselves and be

(16:17):
kind to each other, get the vaccine, and don't do
nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to you
all tomorrow. By
