Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Last Air Trender. We've done it before, but it bears repeating.
We are the last Air Trenders. I am Jack O'Brien,
that is super producer on a hosnie A. I don't
even know how to say your name anymore without putting
that little extra announcer spin on it. Yeah, because like
(00:23):
it's weird because I'm actually my last name is Smith. Hey,
that's what your last name wants to be. It's more
common than O'Brien and Ireland just no big deal. You
nailed me with that one by fact checking my bullshit
claim is the Smith of Ireland. I was like, actually,
(00:49):
Smith is more common than O'Brien, Smith of Ireland. Smith
is the Smith of Ireland. Dundum anyways, that that's good
to say, top. You can't trust anything I say. Uh,
And these are the things that are trending allegedly according
to me, Nicholas Braun is trending. He is, of course
(01:13):
the big doofy guy from succession cousin Greg. Cousin Greg,
I say, of course, even though I had no idea
what his real name was, um, but he has a
it's a very specific genre of men's magazine article where
they're like he's about to take the world by storm.
He's making his move, uh, and it just seems so
(01:36):
contrary to his energy, uh that it's like, you know,
they write the article is like this man's man's about
to fuck your ship up and it's just cousin Greg. Well,
I will say he's the king of Dumois, which is
the um like the gossip Instagram that's you know, you
(01:57):
you can't trust it because nothing is actually you know,
they don't have any like backing for everything, and that's
kind of what they tell you. You You go on there
would just look at like trash gossip, gossip that may
or may not be true, and a lot of blind items.
But like literally Nicholas Braun slash cousin Greg is like
constantly spotted all over New York all the time. He's
always on there be like I saw him again. Like
(02:19):
he's just everything. It's not he's a party monster. He's
just like every like maybe he is, but like the
he's just always down the streets, always at bars, always
talking to people. Everyone has a friend who's hooked up
with him. Like it's just like he's just all over
like all over due, like people, he's just out there,
He's out here. So I think that article might have
(02:40):
picked up on something. Ellie Kemper is trending. She is
Kimmi Schmidt from The Unbreakable Kimi Schmidt. She played a
character on the Office for a couple of seasons. Uh,
and people dug up a photo of her as a
nineteen year old. Um. She looks like a child out
(03:00):
in the photograph. Um, accept it being crowned miss? What
is it? Veil like veil profit profit veil um? And
that is apparently an organization with white supremacy ties or
white supremacy ideology, And it's very strange. She has pages
(03:24):
who are young children with strange hats. Fine, I've never
seen anywhere else sort of looking up to her with
very serious um, you know, the expression of time worn
ideology on there, just like they just look so serious. Well,
they're like little blonde white girls who look like they're
(03:48):
like Damian esque, and they're like devotion to her of
like whatever you want, yes, is veiled profit? Um? So
she has not. So people were pointing this out on Twitter.
She has not like commented on it. Put it into perspective,
put it into any context, so remains to be seen.
(04:12):
Very very strange. America is a weird white supremacist nation.
Um yeah, I mean I hope she does say something
about it. But I mean, like, for the most part,
for me, it's like it looks like she's from like
some dumb small town that's like, you know, built on
white supremacy, like most dumb small towns in this country.
(04:33):
So I don't know. This is kind of like, Okay, yeah,
it sounds like something her parents insisted she did, right,
all right, Yeah, so we'll we'll see. We'll see what
she has to say. Cruela was trending over the weekend.
So this this is a movie we talked about on
today's episode before we before any of us had seen it.
(04:55):
I still have not seen it. But the reason that
it was trending is something that happened early on. So
I will say a spoiler alert. It's something that happens
in it seems like the first like fifteen minutes. But
if you don't want any aspect of Cruella spoiled for you, uh,
maybe skip forward a couple of minutes. But Cruella's mom
(05:19):
is killed by Dalmatians. Um, give me a break, she's
chased off of a cliff by ferocious dalmatians. Um, and
hence Cruella's uh, you know, lifelong obsession, which seems like,
(05:39):
I mean that there's no way that should have made
it out of a single like the very first pitch
meeting where that was suggested. Um, but I don't know. Yeah,
maybe maybe there were. It was like so plot by
committee that they were like, you're gonna want to have
make her sympathetic, guys, gotta she has to have a reason.
(06:00):
There's no I have no sympathy for that. What are
you even talking about? This is something Corrella said at
a dinner party. Everyone's like, sho's I don't want too
many drinks? What are she talking about? I don't believe
her for a goddamn second. She is not a reliable
like Nary, Like I don't trust you. So you're positing
(06:20):
that Cruela is full of ship and and the movie
is her version of events as told well partially drunk
like that? Like what so all movies are like subjective,
some subjective take on things. What characters version of events
(06:41):
is this? Um? Well, that's the thing. It's like you're
telling me your mom was chased off a cliff, which
is like where where is this even happening? That there's
a cliff that Dalmatians exist around? Okay, I'm sorry, there's
what ecosystem is this? And so that happens, and then
you choose to kill and in dalmatians to wear on
(07:01):
your body to what constantly remember your mother's death by
I don't know, Like to me, that's not I don't
get the connection because if I were to I don't know,
I want to take revenge on a certain type of dog,
I wouldn't wear them. So I'm constantly looking at them, right,
I mean yeah, it's like nice try corrella. If instead
of becoming batman Bruce Wayne had become like mugger man,
(07:26):
I guess, alright, bad bad metaphor. This kind of does
mug people in a way like bad guys. Yeah he does.
He stops bad guys, but it's not like he wears
them on his body. Uh yeah. Also she dyed her
hair to look like them, like there is I don't know.
Maybe she's like she is in some sort of psychosis
(07:48):
because because of this incident that now she's so deeply
obsessed with the Dalmatian that she herself has become a Dalmatian.
I don't know, But to me, I don't believe it
because it's like, why do you want to constantly bring
up this trauma in your life? Actually, now that I
think about if actually yeah, yeah, how many villains slash
(08:11):
like um kind of like revenge type characters like the
Punisher or whoever is just like John Wick if they
have gone into like a impatient like therapy trauma program
um with these movies even exist, it would not and
(08:32):
that's what we should encourage. Let's stop encouraging people watching
these movies. Let's encourage therapy because that this behavior unacceptable. Yeah,
John Wick was pretty cool, so actually he can he
can be cool. He can keep doing that. But like Corella,
come on better, help, like you can. You can do this, girl.
(08:55):
You don't need to keep bringing all this anger back out,
you know, like just you need to process it, feel it,
don't wear it on you like a badge of trauma.
You don't need that. But it is kind of what
uh what Joker did right, like instead of Joker needs
(09:15):
therapy too? Oh yeah, that was literally like a plot
point there the city runs out of money to give
him therapy and then he starts killing people. Um, but
he like rather than his first victim being an innocent person,
it's like the most punchable like stockbrokers in the world.
(09:37):
It's like he has his excuse for it's agreed and
agreed made him do it. So it's just that. But
with dogs with vicious vicious daminatians, which I didn't know
where we're a thing. There is going to be a
meat shortage because of some hackers who hacked the biggest
(10:02):
meat producer in uh these United States JBS is what
it's called. I don't know what that stands for. Uh,
just beef stuff probably. Um. They had to suspend its
their North American and Australian computer systems after an organized
assault on Sunday on some of its servers. So you're
(10:26):
I wouldn't eat meat for a little while because people
are going to be looking for strange sources of meat.
Now do you think this was done to just stop
meet consumption in general? Like? Yeah, I think people think
that it was activist hackers. Okay, Now see here's where
(10:46):
they went wrong. Because this meets are all already exists,
so you should do you gotta free the cows right
right to the original source because at this point all
that meets already been slaughtered. We already gone rid of
all those animals we should have. You gotta kind of
gotta now. This is this is my problem with activists.
(11:08):
They're just sitting behind screens. They're not actually over anymore.
They're not I'm just joking. But interesting, interesting choice of
a thing to do. I don't know. Um. And finally, uh,
there's that bear video that everybody's passing around, um, in
which a woman who you've pointed out astute lee has
(11:33):
the energy of Joan cusack uh staring. So basically what happens.
The bear is scaling the wall between her backyard and
a neighbor's backyard with its two bare cubs. Her dogs
come out very aggressively barking at the bear, being like
(11:54):
and what you know, And then the bear takes a
swipe at the dogs, and the woman runs out and
pushes the bear off of the wall. Uh, and then
picks up her dogs and runs back inside. Yeah, the
energy is something else, but she was just protecting her cup.
(12:15):
I know. But you need a type of adrenaline to
come out of bear foot your hands out like that.
You know, bears are bears are bears. I don't have
to say this, but bears are bears. Yeah, and just
like like go full on and push up bear. That's
she was probably working on some She was also in
like her what looked like a day dress. Like she
(12:37):
was just like it hit her. She was like, I
need to protect my babies. I'm Joan Cusack and I'm
going for it. Uh. Super producer Brian Jefferies has pointed
out that she is probably one of the eight percent
of women that said they could defeat a bear in
a fight. Um, which was a statistic that we talked
(12:58):
about on last week's up. So uh, there's a small
portion of the population who believe they can defeat anything,
it seems like, um, any animal, including elephants, bears, and geese,
which people people have gotten mad at me for thinking
I could take a geese. Apparently not. I got bit
(13:21):
bike geese when I was a kid, and uh, I
guess I was like too, but still they kicked my ass.
Yeah you've never forgiven them and you now dress up
as a goose and I worked word. Yeah, yeah, I
strictly sleep on goose feathered pillows. Okay, you have that.
(13:42):
That Bill necklace. Yeah, well, I mean, apart of me
feels like maybe I could like run up and kick it.
But they seem fast. They seem real fast, those beaks.
No thank you, alright, as that is what's trending on
this fine Tuesday afternoon, the very first afternoon of June.
Happy June. We are back tomorrow with the whole last
(14:04):
episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing
about what supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
And free Palestine, and free Palestine.
