Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
Sterne Church show name is courtesy of you guess Davis
again a legend that was based on your favorite social

(00:20):
media a defunct friends Stern Friends. I think I think
it launched like right as I was graduating high school. Oh,
it came off and I didn't really I look into
it now now is in fifteen is sold in and
became a social gaming site based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Hell yeah, alright, all right, Well for the next fifteen

(00:43):
minutes you will hear us playing the social media games
on Trends. Unfortunately that is now defunct gaming site or
closed gaming. That's interesting with that would be like an
interesting just to like follow that domain name, like just
every step along the way of like who bought it,
who sold it? And it's like watching whale carcass fall

(01:06):
to the bottom of the ocean and by eels, Wow,
that's an interesting I think you're developing a podcast right now,
Like when when dot com carcasses settled the bottom of
the ocean floor, who then picks apart? Like what happened
in like those months right after pets dot Com fully collapsed,
Like that's what I'm I think that's a part we

(01:28):
don't talk about. We let's talk about the Fall, but
I want to know, like about the absolute mess afterwards.
And I'm sure it's probably rife with tragedy financially, but yeah,
and I bet there's a few legends of the Fall
that you'd find out about, you know, Tony Hopkins over here.

(01:49):
Let's talk about why Jeff Goldbloom is trend in this
video is wilder so Christie, I'm a Gucci man. A
K Maestro tweeted the video and was like, man, Stephen Merchant,
whoops Joe Exotics X husband's ass And I literally that's

(02:10):
they looked so much like That's what I was like,
Why are they fighting? That's so strange? Would they do
this guy's calm down? Yeah? Most of the video, yeah,
most of the internet decided to bestow the label of
Jeff Goldbloom. That's that one seemed to hit critical mask
because that's the name that's trending. And in it it's

(02:31):
just this street fight of again a shirtless guy who
looks like Joe Exotics toothless husband now with the teeth
um and he's scaring up to this lanky guy wearing
like an all black outfit, looking like Steve like he's
like really into Steve Jobs or something. And dude, they
start scrapping this Jeff Goldblum guy starts bringing out like

(02:51):
kicks and all kinds of like this motherfucker hit him
with a spinning kick. It was really using his range.
I think, yeah, great, great. Uh, you know, for anyone
interested in self defense, you know, you don't necessarily have
to be the mediest guy if you know how to
use your long limbs as he did. He kept distance
between this combatant and then I mean he gave him

(03:12):
up just absolute savage rib kick at the end. I
don't know what he's going on here, but yeah, it's interesting.
It's like it's street fights can go in a number
of different ways. They're all ugly and horrifying to watch
what one of them is Like people just fall on
the ground and they're just wrestling around a lot, and uh,

(03:33):
this is one of the ones that like stays upright
and the guy like one guy kicks the other guy's
ask another guy just calls time out because he's just
like not used to getting punched in the face and
he's like, wait time out the other guys, like you
could tell because Jeff Goldblum, he's he's first he was
fighting when a right handed stance, and then he switches

(03:55):
to self pot that's when you're like get And also
when here when he squared up, he had the pinky
out on his jabbing hand like he was sucking Bruce
Lee or some ship. I'm like, oh wow, And again
credit to him. I mean anybody who's taking any kind
of martial arts. He most people begin to respond like
the second someone starts throwing a punch or a kick,

(04:16):
and that's usually how you begin counterpunching or kicking. And
he just ate the first couple of things that this
dude was throwing at him. He's like, nah, dude, you're
you're mismatched. You're in Giurassic Park now, and I'm about
to show you chaos theory all over your fucking head.
Nature finds a way, and so do these hands. It's
just a weird I can only imagine the stress all

(04:37):
of these people in this video. I think that's a
subtext of this. I think people are even more stressed
right now too. I mean it was originally tweeted by
somebody who was like yo, my neighbors just fine, like
so he knew he knew them both and was like, damn,
this is just going down on the streets of Richmond, Virginia.
Both men declined to press charges. I think because I

(05:00):
think maybe it felt like a fair one. You know,
Jeff Goldblum didn't like stomp him out at the end.
I mean, clearly John Tiger King's ex husband had given
up and Jeff Goldblum went for the cheeky side rib
kick again one last time just to let him know
and that's what you get for playing with me. But yeah,
it seemed like a fair one. Yeah it did. And
that that one really seem like he kind of like

(05:24):
had a I've never seen a win spe so visibly
in somebody's like gate. His gate was wincing, like as
he walked away, he was like, oh good anyway, So
shout out to that some aggros ship for some brows
to brow out on. That's right, that's right, speaking of

(05:46):
agro ship. Another three people are not responding favorably to this.
L A County Health Supervisor Barbara Fahrer has said that
shelter in place is going to be extended, uh, with
all certainty for three more months. Um, my friends from

(06:08):
not l A are talking shit like I'm going golfing tomorrow.
Bro um, sorry, I don't go. Our death toll hasn't
gone down. Like I'm sorry, golfing is immoral, You're like
the the like whole thing is like yeah, just especially
in l A. I mean, this is l A County.
Like the deaths haven't declined, the cases aren't like, we're

(06:30):
not out of the woods yet. Although we flattened the curve,
we're just not out of We're not on a decline yet,
and the counties in the state are not even close
to meeting Governor Newsome's sort of guidelines for this. But
it's interesting to see, Like when I saw that on Twitter,
I'm like, what's going on? Like another three kept and
I was like, okay, what is this? And it's interesting
to see how like people clearly like now the the

(06:53):
right wing echo chamber chimes into like, oh poor cal
I mean, i'd say I feel bad for Californians, but
those are the idiot who picked Newsome to even be
their governors, so they got what they deserve. And it's like, no,
this isn't a this isn't because newsom is our nasty
babysitter who's like, no no TV. Scientific another three nights

(07:14):
that are not number that we're talking about is what
the transmission rate could post potentially be from one person
to another. Is not at zero, it's not at that
below one person number yet. So this is what has
to happen. This is just unfortunately, this is what we're
dealing with to keep people as safe as possible because
we don't want to put everyone else at risk. Not
even not to say that Garsetti is doing the best

(07:35):
job with the vulnerable on house community here. But um,
things are moving though. There is operation there's like the
thing it's called Operation turn Key where you know they're
they're going to begin actually just seizing a lot of
motels and things to be able to put people um
in those rooms. But it's there's a lot of friction. Yeah,
it's it's tough, but it's I don't know, it doesn't

(07:59):
make me, doesn't change my politics, just as I'm sure
of the completely buched job that their president and one
of their governors is doing is not changing their politics
for for whatever reason. Now and even it's funny, is
like even the Californians who I know who you know.

(08:19):
There are people in my orbit family members, extended people
who I know voted for Trump and very much fit
into like the California Republican mindset. They like to, you know,
obviously want to see like white people on top, but
they're not quite at the level of like they see
that there's still a risk for themselves too, as older people,
and they're kind of like, I'm curious to see like

(08:40):
what that spread is even like within California Republicans, because
clearly we're you know, in tomorrow's episode, we're talking about
what the approval ratings are for governors, and it seems
like most people appreciate a bit of caution when it
comes to this whole thing. Also, Trump is previewing his
what how he's going to respond if he loses by

(09:03):
being like, it's a hoax about what one one of
the states recently had its primary and his response to
the to the voting, to the results was that it
was a hoax. So we are going to have to
drag him kicking and screaming out of the White House
that if people are able to defeat him, I mean, yeah, yeah, anyway,

(09:28):
I don't want to I don't want to begin to
go down to hypothetical trail at this point. Yeah. Yeah,
I'm just gonna focus on these next three months basically, yes,
and continue to you know, forge our connection over zoom. Yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna try and go just like get
prison ripped over the next get just do burpies all day,

(09:51):
all body weight burpies and like, oh then, like Jackie
really neglected your legs though, those quads are looking a
little bit just completely. So he sticks meatball on a
on a couple of chop sticks. Uh, Brian Adams is trending. Uh,

(10:13):
and you know it's not going to be good. Uh.
I just I always have a bad taste in my
mouth from Brian Adams because and that's unfortunate wording because
of what I'm about to say, because of his explanation
for his song Summer sixty nine. He's like, yeah, dude,
it was a joke the whole time. Do you get it? Really?

(10:35):
Like yeah, yeah, He's like we were talking about the
sixty nine and uh yeah, so he's like kind of
a yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah, well he really he went
to the edge and over the edge of racism when
he just tweeted some ship where he tweeted this as
Fox News is expletive late in I would say racist, tirade.

(10:59):
I said, quote, tonight supposed to be the beginning of
a tendency of gigs at the Royal Albert Hall, but
thanks to some fucking bat eating wet market animals selling
virus making greedy bastards, the whole world is now on hold.
Not to mention the thousands that have suffered or died
from the virus. Uh And then he went on to
say his message to those is to them, thanks a

(11:20):
fucking lot and go vegan. Um. So everyone was like, Oh,
you're really going down the like anti Asian, blame Asian
people for coronavirus and make this like a Chinese whatever
the thing, because we're already we've already spoken about how
the amount of incidents like racial incidents involving Asian Americans

(11:41):
and Asians around the world is going up because there
are people who say shit like who say things like
this that are meant to assign blame for something like this,
and it's bad. So he's come back and said, uh,
story about that. Yes, he's apology. He also tweeted all
alongside his video video of him performing his song Cuts

(12:04):
like a Knife. Yeah, so you know, in case you
were uh not taking his opinion with a proper gravity,
he uh, he presented it with a piece of his
timeless genius, and he did say he wants to make
clear in his apology, he says, apologies to any and

(12:25):
all that took offense to my post yesterday. He feels
sorry for you because you can't handle my edge. He says, no,
you happened in your mind. Yeah, no excuse. I think
he's the closest he comes to apologize aside from saying
apologies if you were offended, I just wanted to have
a rant about the horrible animal cruelty in these wet markets,

(12:46):
being the possible source of the virus, and promote veganism.
I love, I have love for all people, and my
thoughts are with everyone dealing with this pandemic. Mack so nice, try, buddy,
but let's be real. Everybody knows you from being on
the soundtrack of Robin Hood or zoro Uh and one
of your best songs got flipped by DJ Sammy and
YA knew by believe that your mind here in my arms.

(13:13):
The m version very influential. I feel like that song
is very influential in like modern music, even though I
feel like I've heard that songs like Melody in Hippop.
I mean, you can't you can't deny that the heaven
that melody goes, that goes somewhere. But a lot of

(13:34):
his songs do he just he sucks. Yeah, I mean
those are hits because like loved Yeah, you Love You
six to nine in a Honda or whatever, the lyrics
are like great again, don't need Brian Adams, I just
need the DJ Sammy version of Evan. Thank you for

(13:55):
that contribution. And then finally we we got Tony Hawk trending,
which I don't have to tell you why. Man, uh,
it's it's the th hps because one and two th
hps are being remasked, dude, the shorthand for Tony Hawk
pro skater hell. I mean, I think we've talked about this.

(14:17):
Tony Hawk too is probably one of the few games
that nearly most people have played like the Tony people
have experience that. I mean, I know you're all in
on Switch now, but if you could take a second
to get off that switch and switch to Tony Hawk
whilst in a switch stance on the skateboard. What did that? Yeah?

(14:38):
I think it's just like very it's one of the
top games of all time. And them they're taking the
first two games of Tony Hawk and completely like making
it in four K and they're bringing back like all
the levels are the exact same, like with the school
bus in that first like warehouse level. Everything is like
the exact same, just and beautiful graphics. Most of the

(14:58):
soundtrack is still the same aime, although they did admit
has some licensing issues as I mean, the soundtrack was great,
wasn't it. Yeah, yeah, it had all It was a
really good uh like pop punk? Yeah, have pop punk?
There was hip hop, there was everything. Yeah yeah, hell yeah. Alright, Well,
shout out to Tony Hawk. I wonder like, is he

(15:20):
just is he like Jordan? Is he just making more
money now off of like licensing like that than he
ever did in this because it's a life completely changed
after I mean, he was obviously respected and he was
like the first documented nine hundred or whatever, but like
once that game came out, it just like it blew
open and then Tony Hawkden came up brand Like I

(15:42):
think that's what it does. It's just like you go
beyond just a guy. You become the jump man or
the dude busting at pipe. He took the words out
of my mouth. Bro alright, well guys, that is what's
trending on this fine Tuesday afternoon. We hope you guys
are being safe, uh, staying home, washing your hands, being

(16:03):
kind to each other. Uh. We will be back tomorrow
with a whole another podcast and we'll talk to you then.
Bye bye m
