Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet and welcome to means to a trend.
Doesn't even have daily Zeitgeist and if that just felt
like a good Yeah, I like that it means to
a trend. Yeah, that is our show. I'm Jack O'Brien,
I'm Miles Gray and this is Nightline. Wait, who gave

(00:21):
us that means to a trend? Is from Zack Vannus.
Oh shoot, Zachach Zachie Baby, it's you, sir. We thank
you for that name. Uh, what's the show? Yeah, what's
the show where we were like, what's trending? Man? But
not that show? What's trending? They used to be on YouTube? Uh?
This is our very own thing, is our very own thing,
proprietary technology. Yes, what is trending? Frozen two is trending

(00:45):
because it's out today? Is that today? It is out
and you must see it by law? Yes, I think
that is. I think that's the truth. Uh, it's wild.
My my three year old already singing let it go.
People who have herd the Frozen two soundtracks say it's
like Emo Moody, it's dark, Like what like you have

(01:06):
you watched? Have you watched the first one? Oh? Really?
Isn't about not that good, but a lot of parents
ride for it. Uh, it's what's the trailer like? The
trailer looks dark. It looks like the Empire strikes back
of what of Frozen? Isn't it about like some woman
named Elsa? That's all I know? And she let it go?

(01:29):
That's it? No, you nailed it, Elsa let something go? Yeah,
I mean about her farting. It's dope that it's Uh,
it's the first Disney like princess movie where it's about
a friendship or a sisterhood between two girls two women, uh,
instead of being like she has to find her prince Charming. Uh.
So it's it's cool in that respect. It was going

(01:52):
to be a normal, gender normative type of Disney movie.
But then they wrote the song let It Go for Elsa,
who was supposed to be the evil witch character, and
it was so good they were like, dah, we gotta
make it. We gotta make her a good character. So
they rewrote the whole movie. I'm not gonna lie, man,
I don't know what any of that means up man,

(02:13):
but it sounds like cool. Anyways, Frozen big hit movie.
Frozen two is supposedly about to put Disney and it's
about to put Disney back on the right track because
they have been on a losing strip, basically crashing and
burning for the last few years. Yeah, they say that
it will propel Disney past the three billion dollar box office.

(02:36):
I've been pulling for them to be able to do that. Yeah,
you'll love to see it, Yes, you'll love to see it.
You know what else? You would love to see? Floyd
Money Mayweather back in the ring? What is going on
with him? Why do we need him to come back?
I only don't. I could I if I had, he's
forty two, But I could have told you he was

(02:58):
going to make a comeback, because that always happens every
undefeated great boxer. Yeah, has to keep coming back until
they finally lose. I well, then I hope he gets
fully dismantled. Whether that's in a UFC five verse. You
know what's that? Dude? Name could be normal good, not
gonna get off, or Connor McGregor or whoever else. I mean,

(03:21):
I wonder I think maybe he kind of is like
Jordan though too, like where he at a certain point
he probably watching teams like, man, these people ain't ship right, Like,
let me get back in let me sho what I
can do. Yeah, maybe I'm forty two, but I'm also
fifty and oh when Jordans came back with the Wizards,
was he like forty was Was he that old? I mean,
at that point I tried to forget the sneakers were

(03:41):
so bad. That's when I was like, oh, yeah, these
sneakers kind of looked like the Tesla is a little
bit the ones because they were like Tesla truck. Oh yeah,
I didn't have like a spat or something like a
lace guard on the front. Yeah. They looked a little
bit like Robin Hood men in tights shoes, um mel
Brooks film with a specific vibe. They look like the

(04:05):
mel Brooks film Robin ad Mennon tits with Dave Chappelle. Yes,
little known fact unless you watched it, how he caught
his big break where I learned everything he knows about comedy.
Uh yeah, So I don't know this dude is he's
definitely get a paycheck. One of the worst people, uh
in sports supposedly, but he's gonna get paid. I mean,

(04:26):
anybody who flaunts their wealth around like that, I can't imagine.
Is you know, a chill person to be around constantly. Yeah,
especially when you derive so much of your identity by
things like that. But what do I know. I'm just
a monk, just a humble my humble monk, and mama's
to three and I don't have nine boogd. He's like this, fool. Uh.

(04:47):
It is November two, Uh, and that means it is
the anniversary of November, which is also trending, which is
the anniversary way what happened then? JFK was assassinate. Do
you have this day taged on your body? It's uh
in a number of places. I'm surprised that you didn't
catch on that today. I guess it doesn't really matter

(05:08):
that it's November twenty two, because I know you love
the assassination of JFK. I don't love the assassination of
jf Okay, I'm sorry you're horrified by the asassination j
But I mean more in the sense that, like you've been,
you've read so much about it, like you are deeply,
deeply interesting in it. I just I have a theory,

(05:29):
but I find convincing, and I might as well just
say it, now, what's your theory? It wasn't Lee Harvey
Oswald Jackie did it jack Link Kennedy, Yeah, trick shot,
trick shot. I know that it was an accidental shot
from a secret Service agent. It's one of those theories that, like,

(05:49):
unless you go into detail explaining why it's plausible, it
sounds implausible. So yeah, I won't even go into it
other than to tell you that I've solved the jfk
assassination and if I disappear this week, can avenge me.
I don't think I would if that really happened, I'd
be like, you know what, he flew too damn close
to the scene. Yeah, but you know what, I will,

(06:09):
I will carry on this show. Yeah. There was an
article in uh some with some newspaper about the secret
Service agent who jumped on top of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
like as the car took off, and yeah, there's some

(06:30):
dark he's haunted and what is this. He was unable
to like kind of put this behind him once he retired,
Uh yeah, but he then like kind of got into recovery,
started putting his life back together. But like even the
way he describes it, he's like they talked about the

(06:50):
fact that she like when she goes to the back
of the car where she's crawling on the back like
I always assumed she was trying to get away, but
she was actually going back there to like scoop up
like what had been what had been inside his head,
to put it back in his head, which is, yeah,
it's dark. We don't celebrate this day. Yeah, well I

(07:13):
don't we celebrate it. Uh, but get your JF cakes now. Uh.
And then finally a hashtag that's trending hashtag in I'm
going to quit, going to quit? Yeah? What are we
going to quit? I just can't quit? You broke back Mountain,

(07:35):
Joe just doing my mom's favorite film, nailed it. She Um,
if my mom heard you say that, if she's listening
to this, she's gonna go. I love when Jack did
reference your jacket actually looks like it could be for Yeah.
They call Jack twist, b brack cheek, call me Jack nasty.
What are you gonna quit? I'm quitting the show? Okay,

(07:58):
good tonight. I hate to tell you like this. Yeah,
this is surprising. I think that was the top trending
ones that people did. Quitting my job. Yeah, there you go,
I'm quitting being as sedentary as I've been. Yeah, I'm
I think what I'm going to do, I'm going to

(08:18):
be I don't know, man, I'm so tight, you know
what I mean? Like, I know what saying It must
be hard for you really about self improvement things like, dude,
how can you improve upon a flawed thing that you
can accept? That's not about perfection? You know what, it's
flawed and I accepted. Just keep it moving. The thing
that I will quit doing though, Oh it's just uh

(08:42):
like negative self talk. I think that's the hardest. I
think that will That would be a thing I'll try
and quit every year. Do you give yourself some talking
to sod? Are you kidding me? Man? Between being have
Japanese and like being a perfectionist, all kinds of stuff.
So many times I'll just be overly critical of of

(09:02):
things that I do, and I realize, you know, like
it's it's only serving a very odd like other I
don't know, tomention my personality that doesn't actually serve me
in any way. Yeah. Yeah, I I feel like I
have a reflexive thing where it's like, can't let myself
get too happy or then it'll yeah right, it's like,
well things are going too good? Yeah, now, what's going
to be the bad thing? Now, I'll ease up. Yeah,

(09:24):
I think that's you know, it's just about living in
the present, you know, embracing it because the future doesn't
exist in either does the past, and what's only realisty
in present. So if we stay engaged there, then how
can we have anxiety? Yeah? You said it, brother, you
know what I mean in my ted talk. This is
the first full week of Means to a Trend. Yeah,

I mean, people don't know. We've got a lot of
things cooking, churning. It's not a TV show, ye, mostly

media presence, Like, guys, we have something we've really been

Captain America, that's Mr Rogers. Even as a child, I
never called it Mr. Rogers neighborhood. It's Mr Rogers. Yeah,
point blank. That's how the brand is. It's too big,
it's too strong. You can't readefine it now, good luck
and good night. Yeah that movie like apparently it turns
out Mr Rogers just a month through. Yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah,
it turns out at the end there's a twist where
