Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendle's
Mother or Trendle from Bay Wolf. Um. Yes, yeah, yeah,
I don't. I don't. I don't think I ever read
that Wolf, but I had to for ap literature. I
guess you just hit the spark notes because I was like,
(00:21):
no spark spark notes. So seriously, that's exactly what's going on.
But yes, shout out to I'm Jack, you are Miles, Yep,
I am. Let's tell the people what's trending. Katie Curic
is trending. She just dropped her book on people. Uh
and it is called Going There, so you know, you
(00:46):
know it's gonna be uh tone deaf, that's it. I'm
going there, she said. Um, this is a direct She said,
I knew Matt loved beautiful women. He could charm the
pants parentheses as it were, off any celebrity she is, Yeah, sure.
(01:11):
Her Her statement is basically like, these gals should have
just told Matt to buzz off. Yeah. It seems like
this whole thing sounds like she is looking at her
career but cosplaying as a very confident white man who
is a baby boomer looking back on their career based
on some of these stakes. I mean, it's bad when
(01:32):
Pierce and Morgan is condemning you. He's saying like there's
a special place in hell for like women who don't
defend each other like something, just asinine like that. But
favorite feminist Piers More, Yeah, please do go on, Pierce,
I mean, please, have you handled the Megan Marco's situation
so splendidly we could we could really take a note
(01:52):
from you. So yeah, it looks like a like I guess,
just a terrible look for Katie Uric. Yeah, just to
terrible look that she has. It's just interesting when people like, right,
you know, they're like, now I get to tell my story.
Harvey was pretty chill. Yeah, she don't know what everyone
else is going on about. Who knew Roger Riles was
(02:14):
a monster? It's like literally every everybody that you work with,
just based off of that, you should take away every
fucking journalistic award she's ever received, because you, like you
couldn't even compute that. Alright, Okay, her first husband who
passed away from I think colon cancer, and that's why
she's like a big spokesperson for getting those checks check up. Yeah,
(02:40):
she even like talking about him having some like small
success as an on air at legal analyst. She talks
about finding herself silently admonishing him to stay in his lane,
and she hates my Diane Sawyer because she's everything I wasn't. Tall, blonde,
with creamy complexion, her voice full of money, her voice
(03:05):
full of money. Yeah, Yo, that's a fucking phrase. You
know what. I'm gonna take that, Katie. I like that. Yeah,
that voice full of money, listen to it. She also
wonders why the women who Matt Lower abused didn't come
to her instead of a Curry's strange anyways, it's it
(03:30):
seems like the review that I'm pulling these quotes from
says like, don't buy this book, but don't buy it,
but I don't know, maybe wait for your local library
to get it it. It does read like a very
instructive case of I don't know. It feels very American celebrity,
like she is unintentionally nailing what what that sort of
(03:54):
what that? Very specific? You'll learn to hate Katie Kuric
like never before. Oh great, okay, that's one of this
Katie Facebook. I g what's app all trending? Uh? Probably
not the reason they wanted keep them down. Yeah, so
(04:16):
as they are, you know, struggling in the public perception
realm for uh for being evil. Uh Facebook, um is
now just gone down. Um yeah, people are wondering what happened?
You looked into the into the tech behind it a
(04:38):
little bit. Yeah, so a lot of people are like,
what's going on? Is this some kind of fantastic gift?
And people are will I go to church this Sunday
to be like I believe now? Um, but now, essentially
what happened was it looks like an engineer at Facebook
fucked around with some of the routing, meaning that a
(05:00):
lot of people like that means it's gone because people
can't access it just means people can't access the website.
Like so there's apparently there's going to they have like
it's so bad that some work may have to be done,
like at the physical level, like to fix their servers. Um.
So I don't know, Yeah, let let this fucking the
(05:22):
I don't know whatever you call this, this temporary disabling
of Facebook. Long may it last? Yes? Um? Yeah, I
mean I just I went to Facebook dot com as
I do all the time, just straight up want to
see what's going on on the front page of Facebook,
and it is just can't be found. Like so just yeah,
(05:44):
I mean, like as many people want to rejoice because
they can't get there, it's just that the infrastructure for
your computer to connect to their servers is just not
there right now. They're having to do a little bit
of work for them, honestly. I mean, I think for
all the people, like what's app is probably the one
where it's like that people actually use what's app all
(06:04):
the time just for general communicating that one. I'm like,
oh that that'd be hard to switch it up because
data and stuff can be super expensive in some places.
But yeah, a lot of people on Twitter like it's
going forever. It's like no, no, no, God doesn't exist,
because if God was really would be going forever. Just
what's so? Yeah, I talk to people like abroad all
(06:26):
the time. Do you ever use signal signal? If people
have it? But like I got you know, there's like
old Japanese people in my life, you know we're using
that or like line the line app for a lot
of people in Asia. But yeah, I mean I don't
use it super frequently, but that is typically internationally, like
it's easier to just connect with someone through that. Yeah, yeah, alright,
(06:48):
Azzi Media Media. Let's talk about So this is a
media company that's been around for a while. Um. They
they have like an impressive presentation, like they're like, we
have this many reporters around the world, we have newsrooms everywhere.
(07:11):
But they never really seemed to like I didn't I
didn't know anybody who like voluntarily read never never never
heard of anyone reading it. Never heard of a story
being broken by Ozzy Media. We suspected Jack. Yeah, we
we had our we had our suspicions. We had our
suspicions about this company very early. That's being told very
(07:35):
fantastic things that hey man, it's like millennial CNN. I'm like, really,
because I'm talking about they never heard, Um, they thought
we were talking about Ozzy Osbourne. They really did. What
people suspected was that they were just kind of juicing
their traffic through acquiring it and didn't really have an
(07:56):
audience and it was just like sort of selling this idea.
So a few months ago, one of the big like
investment firms was talking to them about their next round
of funding and they were like, well, so the thing
that we want to make sure is that people actually
like have watched one of your videos at least once,
(08:16):
Like we just want to know. Uh So, we're gonna
we'd love to like have a conversation with your contact
of YouTube. And they're like, great, it's this person there,
the head of YouTube a user experience. We're gonna schedule
this call. Uh So, Golden Sax folks are on hold.
Then the guy from YouTube calls into the zoom and
(08:37):
it's like, hey, sorry, I'm having like some tech issues.
Could would you guys mind if we just did this
as a phone call, And they were like okay, yeah,
So like we've all had those, uh you know, zoom
calls where your internet is not working. So they call in.
The YouTube exact tells them like everything that they want
(08:57):
to hear in order to make the investment, but they
noticed that a couple of points that the YouTube executive's
voice is doing a weird like electronic glitching thing. So
on a hunch, the one of the Goldmen Tex guys
like reaches out to the assistant of the YouTube person
(09:17):
they were supposed to be talking about, and you not
the email that they got from this phone call like
where they were in contact before they independently have this
person who knows that person, so let me reach out
and they get in touch with that person and they're like,
I've never talked to you before in my life. Man,
Like I don't know. Yeah, we're just on that call
(09:37):
for Auzzy. You just said how all the traffic was lyddy. No, No,
I've never talked to you. I've never said that. I
wouldn't say that because nobody actually watches their videos and
I know because I'm looking at this right now and
they So it turns out like that, Um, Carlos Watson
(09:57):
is the CEO of Azzy like reaches out to gold Sex.
It's like, I'm so embarrassed. Sorry, that was our CEO
who did that, or like one of our like you know,
someone in the c suite of our company who did
call pretended to be this guy he was having like
health thing and so you're gonna fire him. Then we
(10:18):
feel very proud that we're standing by him during its
mental health thing. We're gonna stand by you know, because
we're inclusive and that's how we get down. So I
actually it's a reason because you might not have potential
leverage going the other way. No, no, no, no, you're
not asking we're actually just a great workplace anyways. Uh,
(10:38):
Goldman Sex surprisingly chose not to invest, but they did
make their next round of funding because that's how capitalism works.
And you know, some other bank that didn't ask to
talk to the YouTube about their numbers. They were quoting
an elderly person of a bank where they're like, yeah,
we're called Ozzy Man. All the kids love us. You
(10:59):
should see these numbers. They're like, okay, some money. I
mean the Auzzy Fest thing like it has like your
uh you know, like Carlos Watson clearly knows like all
the right people, right, and so like it happens like
he used to work at Goldman right. And so they
made their round of funding. But then when the New
(11:19):
York Times reported the last weekend and then to last
week as announced they were shutting down, which is wild.
It's like a lot of people that work there. And
then uh, now today on Monday there announced psych we're
not shutting down. Comeback story of of a lifetime. He said,
(11:39):
straight up, this this is our Lazarus moment. Yeah, like
just announced you were shutting down last week. No I'm
not man, No you're dead dead No, but okay, and
a lot of it. I think you can tell. Was
it the way the statement was worded, it felt like
they didn't want to They'd rather have a narrative be
(12:01):
that it like just crashed and burned on its own,
rather than this expose a being like the death blow
right right right right, So U Bill griffed a few
more dollars. I'm sure, yeah, yeah, all right, let's take
a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back
(12:26):
and AATSI. We had talked last week about the TV
and film production you know, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage employees.
But they're basically the people who do like everything on
a film set um and they voted to author as
the first nationwide industry strike in there on twenty eight
(12:49):
year history. Uh and the solidarity was pretty fucking awesome.
Ninety eight point six eight percent voted yes, and voter
turnout among eligible members was nearly nine percent. So that's
power point. What is that like leftover TV execs who
are like still up on their IOTSI dues or something,
They're like, hey, I'll vote no. Yeah, you are you
(13:10):
still current with IATA YEA? You should? You should? You
should be a no vote in there? But yeah, I
mean this definitely gives them very a lot of leverage
now in trying to sort out a new contract because
now they're going into this with the studios being like,
so you already know, uh, you can find out if
you'd like or come to the table and have a
(13:31):
good faith negotiation, because we're just asking for things like
you know, uh, more reasonable hours and time off and pay.
You know, it's just the bare minimum, you know. I
had joked last week that the production like the next
season of Stranger Things will take place in a black
box theater, but one of our listeners pointed out, like,
I actually know because the also includes like theater, run
(13:55):
the camera and stage and yeah, everything amazing and everything. Yeah,
animation is there. They'll be able to carry on. This
is really going to be a really significant turning point
in the entertainment industry. So I I don't know, like you,
you wonder if the then the studios and networks blink
(14:17):
or if they double down because they think that they
can grind out people like no, we'll get them to
fucking blower their demands because we'll hold their livelihood over
their heads. Um. But I honestly hope that you know,
the winds have change blow and Ayazi's favor, so they
can you know, actually start creating some equity for the crew,
(14:38):
because honestly, when you watch some ship, it's not just uh,
you know, Matthew Perry and uh these other people in
front of the camera, and that's the whole show that
the crew makes. Fucking every single thing happened, like even
driving the actor's stinking assids to set and things like that.
There's all kinds of you know, the levels of involvement
(15:01):
for Crows just it's it's integral, and I really hope
that this leverage is able to get them a win. Yeah. Um,
Blurred Lines is trending because Emily Rochikowski or I don't know,
is that Rodikowski uh has a book coming out in
which she describes being sexually assaulted by Robin Thick on
(15:24):
the set of the Blurred Lines video, which already was
a video that aged like as poorly as any piece
of culture, like I feel like in our lifetime. Um
and yeah, apparently behind the scenes it was Nightmary like
groped her on the set and the uh, the whole production,
(15:45):
the whole like team was women except for like Robin
Thick and Farrell and uh you know the other the
male singers. Everyone on the set was women, and it
was they shut down the production right away. But um,
and that's what that's what the director said. That's not
(16:09):
the impression you get from her description. Um, but yeah
was drunk, which seems to be the yeah. And man
that song man too, Like they tried to act like
they didn't just straight up up rip off Marvin Gay two.
I was like, come off for earlier, better than this. Um.
(16:30):
People who listen to music are like, that's just okay, sure,
maybe that isn't got to give it up by Marvin Gay. Finally,
Andrew Wiggins has gotten the COVID vaccine. This whole thing
is like he started off just being like, hey man,
I'm not knocking anybody who What did he say to
each his own Really this is a quote from him.
This is like back when he was saying with his
chest out, he's not getting a quote right now, I'm
(16:52):
not getting it. But it's no knock on anyone else
that's getting it. I make my own decisions, but right
now I decided not to get it. Right then when
you find out, okay, so you won't be able to
play in home games. So that's about half your salary.
How's that? How do you like that? Uh? And then
then it just was just I think just Steve Kerr
basically is the one who announced it, saying like Andrew,
(17:13):
this is from him quote Andrew got vaccinated. He just
told me today that he was fine with us acknowledging
it and that this will be the end of it.
There you go. I mean that's I'm sure there were
other players on his team who are, like, you know,
pointing out that this was a distraction and they just
want to get down to it. But um, the standard
(17:35):
um stance of of NBA players has been like, not
that there's anything wrong with not getting it, but we
got it to like comply with the rules, which yeah,
everyone's doing that. They're handling their homies with kid gloves.
You should be like, I don't know, these people are
on they're trying to suck my bag up to no no, no,
(17:57):
no no no. This is a shot that's not gonna
turn give you fucking hedgehog face or whatever. The fun
The reaction to JR is on the internet. Um, Kyrie, though, TikTok, TikTok,
I don't know um, because that's they're saying. They did
the math. That's three thousand per home game he's missing
(18:18):
out on. But in on the route, who's writing. J
Connor was writing just about but it's a little bit different,
you know what I mean? Because uh oh he knows.
In the comments section of the route, someone was just saying,
like Kyrie's are true, but leave her though, and he
has a lot more money than Andrew Wiggins, And like
what did this someone say in the comments that, like, yo,
(18:38):
he'd rather leave the game and walk off the edge
of the flat earth than to do his His response,
like to the flat earth stuff was he eventually was like, oh,
I didn't realize like how big a deal was going
to be to people like I. I recognize now that
the Earth is not flat, so maybe maybe he'll come
around on this. I just I didn't know this is
a big deal. Seven thousand will die in this country, right, Yeah,
(19:03):
shout out to Andrew Wiggins. I guess uh that is
going to do it for us. On this Monday 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 the vaccine, don't do nothing about
white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye, bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendle's
Mother or Trendle from Bay Wolf. Um. Yes, yeah, yeah,
I don't. I don't. I don't think I ever read
that Wolf, but I had to for ap literature. I
guess you just hit the spark notes because I was like,
(00:21):
no spark spark notes. So seriously, that's exactly what's going on.
But yes, shout out to I'm Jack, you are Miles, Yep,
I am. Let's tell the people what's trending. Katie Curic
is trending. She just dropped her book on people. Uh
and it is called Going There, so you know, you
(00:46):
know it's gonna be uh tone deaf, that's it. I'm

I knew Matt loved beautiful women. He could charm the
pants parentheses as it were, off any celebrity she is, Yeah, sure.
(01:11):
Her Her statement is basically like, these gals should have
just told Matt to buzz off. Yeah. It seems like
this whole thing sounds like she is looking at her
career but cosplaying as a very confident white man who
is a baby boomer looking back on their career based
on some of these stakes. I mean, it's bad when
(01:32):
Pierce and Morgan is condemning you. He's saying like there's
a special place in hell for like women who don't
defend each other like something, just asinine like that. But
favorite feminist Piers More, Yeah, please do go on, Pierce,
I mean, please, have you handled the Megan Marco's situation
so splendidly we could we could really take a note
(01:52):
from you. So yeah, it looks like a like I guess,
just a terrible look for Katie Uric. Yeah, just to
terrible look that she has. It's just interesting when people like, right,
you know, they're like, now I get to tell my story.
Harvey was pretty chill. Yeah, she don't know what everyone
else is going on about. Who knew Roger Riles was
(02:14):

But yeah, a lot of people on Twitter like it's

because if God was really would be going forever. Just
what's so? Yeah, I talk to people like abroad all

(06:48):
Azzi Media Media. Let's talk about So this is a
media company that's been around for a while. Um. They
they have like an impressive presentation, like they're like, we
have this many reporters around the world, we have newsrooms everywhere.
(07:11):
But they never really seemed to like I didn't I
didn't know anybody who like voluntarily read never never never
heard of anyone reading it. Never heard of a story
being broken by Ozzy Media. We suspected Jack. Yeah, we
we had our we had our suspicions. We had our

noticed that a couple of points that the YouTube executive's

on a hunch, the one of the Goldmen Tex guys
like reaches out to the assistant of the YouTube person
(09:17):
they were supposed to be talking about, and you not
the email that they got from this phone call like
where they were in contact before they independently have this
person who knows that person, so let me reach out
and they get in touch with that person and they're like,
I've never talked to you before in my life. Man,
Like I don't know. Yeah, we're just on that call
(09:37):
for Auzzy. You just said how all the traffic was lyddy. No, No,
I've never talked to you. I've never said that. I
wouldn't say that because nobody actually watches their videos and
I know because I'm looking at this right now and
they So it turns out like that, Um, Carlos Watson
(09:57):
is the CEO of Azzy like reaches out to gold Sex.
It's like, I'm so embarrassed. Sorry, that was our CEO
who did that, or like one of our like you know,
someone in the c suite of our company who did
call pretended to be this guy he was having like
health thing and so you're gonna fire him. Then we
(10:18):
feel very proud that we're standing by him during its
mental health thing. We're gonna stand by you know, because
we're inclusive and that's how we get down. So I
actually it's a reason because you might not have potential

not asking we're actually just a great workplace anyways. Uh,
(10:38):
Goldman Sex surprisingly chose not to invest, but they did
make their next round of funding because that's how capitalism works.
And you know, some other bank that didn't ask to
talk to the YouTube about their numbers. They were quoting
an elderly person of a bank where they're like, yeah,
we're called Ozzy Man. All the kids love us. You
(10:59):
should see these numbers. They're like, okay, some money. I
mean the Auzzy Fest thing like it has like your
uh you know, like Carlos Watson clearly knows like all
the right people, right, and so like it happens like
he used to work at Goldman right. And so they
made their round of funding. But then when the New
(11:19):
York Times reported the last weekend and then to last
week as announced they were shutting down, which is wild.
It's like a lot of people that work there. And
then uh, now today on Monday there announced psych we're
not shutting down. Comeback story of of a lifetime. He said,
(11:39):
straight up, this this is our Lazarus moment. Yeah, like
just announced you were shutting down last week. No I'm
not man, No you're dead dead No, but okay, and
a lot of it. I think you can tell. Was
it the way the statement was worded, it felt like
they didn't want to They'd rather have a narrative be
(12:01):
that it like just crashed and burned on its own,
rather than this expose a being like the death blow
right right right right, So U Bill griffed a few
more dollars. I'm sure, yeah, yeah, all right, let's take
a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back
(12:26):
and AATSI. We had talked last week about the TV
and film production you know, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage employees.
But they're basically the people who do like everything on
a film set um and they voted to author as
the first nationwide industry strike in there on twenty eight
(12:49):
year history. Uh and the solidarity was pretty fucking awesome.
Ninety eight point six eight percent voted yes, and voter
turnout among eligible members was nearly nine percent. So that's
power point. What is that like leftover TV execs who
are like still up on their IOTSI dues or something,
They're like, hey, I'll vote no. Yeah, you are you
(13:10):
still current with IATA YEA? You should? You should? You
should be a no vote in there? But yeah, I
mean this definitely gives them very a lot of leverage
now in trying to sort out a new contract because
now they're going into this with the studios being like,
so you already know, uh, you can find out if
you'd like or come to the table and have a
(13:31):
good faith negotiation, because we're just asking for things like
you know, uh, more reasonable hours and time off and pay.
You know, it's just the bare minimum, you know. I
had joked last week that the production like the next
season of Stranger Things will take place in a black
box theater, but one of our listeners pointed out, like,
I actually know because the also includes like theater, run
(13:55):
the camera and stage and yeah, everything amazing and everything. Yeah,
animation is there. They'll be able to carry on. This
is really going to be a really significant turning point
in the entertainment industry. So I I don't know, like you,
you wonder if the then the studios and networks blink
(14:17):
or if they double down because they think that they
can grind out people like no, we'll get them to
fucking blower their demands because we'll hold their livelihood over
their heads. Um. But I honestly hope that you know,
the winds have change blow and Ayazi's favor, so they
can you know, actually start creating some equity for the crew,
(14:38):
because honestly, when you watch some ship, it's not just uh,
you know, Matthew Perry and uh these other people in
front of the camera, and that's the whole show that
the crew makes. Fucking every single thing happened, like even
driving the actor's stinking assids to set and things like that.
There's all kinds of you know, the levels of involvement
(15:01):
for Crows just it's it's integral, and I really hope
that this leverage is able to get them a win. Yeah. Um,
Blurred Lines is trending because Emily Rochikowski or I don't know,
is that Rodikowski uh has a book coming out in
which she describes being sexually assaulted by Robin Thick on
(15:24):
the set of the Blurred Lines video, which already was
a video that aged like as poorly as any piece
of culture, like I feel like in our lifetime. Um
and yeah, apparently behind the scenes it was Nightmary like
groped her on the set and the uh, the whole production,
(15:45):
the whole like team was women except for like Robin
Thick and Farrell and uh you know the other the
male singers. Everyone on the set was women, and it
was they shut down the production right away. But um,
and that's what that's what the director said. That's not
(16:09):
the impression you get from her description. Um, but yeah
was drunk, which seems to be the yeah. And man
that song man too, Like they tried to act like
they didn't just straight up up rip off Marvin Gay two.
I was like, come off for earlier, better than this. Um.
(16:30):
People who listen to music are like, that's just okay, sure,
maybe that isn't got to give it up by Marvin Gay. Finally,
Andrew Wiggins has gotten the COVID vaccine. This whole thing
is like he started off just being like, hey man,
I'm not knocking anybody who What did he say to
each his own Really this is a quote from him.
This is like back when he was saying with his
chest out, he's not getting a quote right now, I'm
(16:52):
not getting it. But it's no knock on anyone else
that's getting it. I make my own decisions, but right
now I decided not to get it. Right then when
you find out, okay, so you won't be able to
play in home games. So that's about half your salary.
How's that? How do you like that? Uh? And then
then it just was just I think just Steve Kerr
basically is the one who announced it, saying like Andrew,
(17:13):
this is from him quote Andrew got vaccinated. He just
told me today that he was fine with us acknowledging
it and that this will be the end of it.
There you go. I mean that's I'm sure there were
other players on his team who are, like, you know,
pointing out that this was a distraction and they just
want to get down to it. But um, the standard
(17:35):
um stance of of NBA players has been like, not
that there's anything wrong with not getting it, but we
got it to like comply with the rules, which yeah,
everyone's doing that. They're handling their homies with kid gloves.
You should be like, I don't know, these people are
on they're trying to suck my bag up to no no, no,
(17:57):
no no no. This is a shot that's not gonna
turn give you fucking hedgehog face or whatever. The fun
The reaction to JR is on the internet. Um, Kyrie, though, TikTok, TikTok,
I don't know um, because that's they're saying. They did
the math. That's three thousand per home game he's missing
(18:18):
out on. But in on the route, who's writing. J
Connor was writing just about but it's a little bit different,
you know what I mean? Because uh oh he knows.
In the comments section of the route, someone was just saying,
like Kyrie's are true, but leave her though, and he
has a lot more money than Andrew Wiggins, And like
what did this someone say in the comments that, like, yo,
(18:38):
he'd rather leave the game and walk off the edge
of the flat earth than to do his His response,
like to the flat earth stuff was he eventually was like, oh,
I didn't realize like how big a deal was going
to be to people like I. I recognize now that
the Earth is not flat, so maybe maybe he'll come
around on this. I just I didn't know this is
a big deal. Seven thousand will die in this country, right, Yeah,
(19:03):
shout out to Andrew Wiggins. I guess uh that is
going to do it for us. On this Monday 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 the vaccine, don't do nothing about
white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye, bye,
