Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Who, What, Why,
trend Where the major questions of journalism. I am Jack
and I'm thrilled to be joined by super producer On as. Hey,
your friend and the Toxic Avenger. What's up? I love
(00:22):
to introduce yourself as a toxic person. Hey, guys, I'm
super toxic and here's how toxic I am. Go On.
That was a conversation that happened before we started recording.
Oh the show, Before the show, You guys simply must
check it out sometime. I don't know how you would.
(00:43):
We should do a live show. That's just us planning
a show so you guys could get a real feeling
of how much we actually really dislike each other. Oh
my god, it is toxic. Speaking of toxic, all right,
So there's a couple big piece of news happening in
the world of reality television. Tomorrow's episode Our Guests Search
(01:06):
History is about one of them. But you know, as
we were starting to discuss what is trending in our
various social media feeds, you were like, there's only one
thing online and it is the vander Pump Rules love
Pentagram type deal. Kind of seems like what's going on,
a lot of cheating on one another happening. Yeah, the
(01:27):
show is a very sort of incestual cheating messrs always been,
like I think I watched certain I watched like a
handful of episodes in the first couple of seasons, and
it felt like that was always what was happening. Yeah,
and you know what looks like it's continuing because Tom Sandoval,
(01:50):
one of the Toms, there's two Toms, who was with Arianna,
his Beyonce girlfriend I don't even know anymore, for a
long time out he was having an affair with Arianna's
best friends Raquel, and things really popped off because Arianna's
found a video, a FaceTime video of Raquel, you know,
(02:14):
in the sexual act on a fat FaceTime Yes, I
guess he recorded the FaceTime of them like basically like
having phone sex, which in my opinion, I want to
do that. That's not okay. I hope she consented to that,
and thus leading the breakup of the Bravo sentry. And
(02:35):
I did see them live at Bravo Con in like
a couple's panel, Tom and Arianna, and it made you
believe in love. You said, no, you don't go to
a reality television festival and go to the coupled panel
and think, now, this is what love is. No, you
think this is what's how storylines are made. Last time
I was paying attention to this, Tom was getting cheated
(02:58):
on by Jack. No he's no, no, no, He's getting
cheated on by Kristen. He wasn't dating tracks Jack Christening.
K slept with Jack or s Kristen on their couch
while Tom was sleeping in their room. Yeah, yeah, sickening.
So that it just keeps going. They maybe these people
(03:18):
might not be the best at being loyal partners seems
to be, but but it it keeps people seeing swept
away with this in a way that you know, there's
somehow they keep it fresh. We're listening it revived the show.
Lisa is about to go on watch what happens live?
Lisa Vanner public is going on watch what happened live?
(03:39):
In two days, my whole Twitter feed are people now
going back and rewatching the show and dissecting like every
interaction Tom has with Arianna or like Raquel, like the
three of them interacting, or with Tom Schwartz, and I'm like,
what happened here? It's like truly you know, I have
a theory that these people are now because you've been
(04:00):
on reality TV so long and your whole life exists
around creating sort of storylines to keep you as a
reality TV star relevant to the TV show so you
don't get kicked off or fired, that they now exist
in a world to create storylines for themselves, and thus
they can't really live normal lives anymore without sort of
blowing it up in order to maintain the sort of
(04:24):
reality television show paycheck, right, Yeah, that absolutely tracks. All right, Well,
you'll hear more about this on the full episode tomorrow.
Steven Spielberg went on Colbert and great transition, Thank you
very good at that. He said a thing that I
don't know, I've heard like a bunch of times. But
people are like, whoa Spielberg is saying aliens or people
(04:49):
from the future. Basically, what if they're not from an
advanced civilization three hundred million late years from here? What
if it's us coming back to document the second half
of the twentieth century and into the twenty first century.
They know something that we don't know yet that has occurred,
and they they're trying to track the last one hundred
years of our history. The one thing he said that
(05:11):
I continue to He says, I believe certain people. I've
never seen anything I can't explain, but I believe certain
people who have seen things that they can't explain. So okay, sure,
I mean yeah, but isn't that what we've been saying
for the last few years, Like everything that's come up,
it's like, Okay, well, we know there are Like the
universe is so massive, how could there not be aliens?
(05:33):
And also, let's let's put this out there, technically war
aliens to them, WHOA, well, you know what, stop the show. No,
but for real, like, I don't understand how could there
if the fact that like we as humans exist and
like evolution happened, Like what is they're saying that evolution
(05:53):
or of some sort did not happen elsewhere on another
planet light years away or whatever. I don't really understand
how the universe works. Yeah, I think the only thing
that makes it unlikely is that our lifespan would line
up with another intelligent life forms lifespan, just because when
you look at how briefly humanity has been alive like that,
(06:17):
that's just a blip on the cosmic scale, Like how
long the Earth has existed as a blip on the
cosmic scale. So like the idea that the other civilizations
would exist at the same time feels like a thing
that we don't take into account that often, right, I guess. Also,
like what I'm saying is is this just an ad
for like a reboot of ET? Right? Yeah, well you
(06:40):
and I think aliens exist, and that's why next summer
you can see Heat two in theaters. I'm just saying, Okay,
when the guy made ET talks, I listen, all right, yeah,
and he's like, and jaw sixteen is coming to like
what if? What if sharks are alien? He's just like
clearly making it up because he goes a yeah, and
(07:02):
he's like, and it's my life story. Actually, yeah, that's
a fableman's joke there. He's the story that came out
that people who knew Steven Spieler was like, not true.
He didn't have no girlfriend. It's just like, okay, he's
allowed to write. It's like, nah, don't believe it. Not true.
(07:22):
He was not like that. No one liked his ass.
You're like, okay, oh my god, just as like the
mean kids from his high school immediately coming back like,
you're right, Dorc, that's Steven Spielberg. I would relax, Yeah,
(07:42):
switch him back over to the world of reality TV.
The Bachelor is not fucking apparently. Yeah, so The Bachelor
one of those stories, like stories when they were everybody
was paying attention to whether the pandas were fucking at
the zoo. It's like, will the Bachelor fuck? Um? Yeah,
so I guess in the app sorry the episode airs tonight. Wow,
(08:07):
but there is a Fantasy Suits coming up, and four
women go to the Fantasy Suits with him and in
them Sorry, okay, go ahead, Yeah, he murders them all.
In the coming up previews and uh from last week's episode,
he reveals like, you know, people know this as like
(08:28):
he's talking to the host of the show, Jesse Palmer,
and he's like, people know this as sex week, But
you know what, I'm not doing that because there's more
to like a relationship than sex, to which I say, yeah,
but it's like a really big part of it. And
if you're about to get engaged to someone, maybe you
should see if you're sexually compatible. I'm just saying, I'm
just say right, yeah, but I could also understand maybe
he wants to only have sex with the person he chooses, right,
(08:54):
And then you're saying that there's speculation that the fantasy
suits when he was a contestant did not didn't go well,
didn't go well, Like the vibes were all fucked up
the morning after. Yeah, yeah it was. He was the
contestant on Rachel and Gabby season and he was specifically
with Rachel and the next morning, we all want to
(09:17):
know what happened in that fantasy suite because they went
in like vibing, and the next morning the vibe was
so off, like it was as if these people did
not even know each other, and it was there was
a darkness there, and we gotta know what happened in
that fantasy suite's because clearly it's his villain origin story. Sure.
I mean, if he had like a bad experience or whatever,
(09:39):
you know, like a lot of pressure and he just
like they weren't vibing the first time, maybe now he's
just like good, like a little bit scared. You know,
I'm just trying to do the work for Zach here,
So maybe he just needs to be honest with it
instead of coming with a take that is like actually
sex is fun picked up, and you guys are weird
(10:02):
for even watching this show, So stop trying to get
me to fuck Like, dude, literally just chill out. The
only problem with him is he's so uptight. It's like,
if you just chilled out a little bit, Yeah, like
you would actually be really having a great time on
this TV show that's all about you dating thirty women.
I don't know about you, but it seems like a
goddamn like treat you idiot men. But yeah, I mean
(10:27):
that's probably the case with a lot of people on
like reality TV who come off as villains. Is just
like they it's a lot of people watching you, and
like it's not a natural thing that you would just
be like cool and chill and fun. You know, it's
a or at least it's a it's not a thing
you could take for granted that everybody would be able
(10:48):
to like do. Right. Yeah, he just like can unwind.
But like I'm assuming that they try and do something
in the selection process like weed out people who are
just like so stressful. You know, Well, clearly they didn't. Yeah,
clearly because he's on the day as a bachelor is hectic.
(11:13):
If you show any weakness he'll send you home. Oh yeah,
you were saying that. He's like, he doesn't seem to
have a lot of empathy, right, just like I gotta
get get these numbers down. Yeah, he's like the women,
they're like, so I'm really struggling with the fact that
you're dating, you know, this many women and I'm getting
zero time and I don't understand why I'm still here.
And he's like, Okay, you're like that. Yeah, And it's
(11:37):
a it's a tough show to watch anyway, to commercial break,
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
we're back. We're back. Finally, it was a long break.
(11:59):
Titan meals are a thing apparently across the country. Special
events are being arranged that allow you to eat meals
that were served on the ship's final night, April fourteenth,
nineteen twelve. One dinner is happening on April fourteenth, and
(12:22):
like it's so what's happening at Titanic the artifact exhibition
in Orlando, And like adults pay sixty nine dollars, children
pay forty two dollars and you just eat like old food,
like not not old food, but like old fishes. Yeah,
the food is from then it's all incredibly poisonous. Um No,
(12:45):
it's just like chicken Versailles sirloin with burnet sauce twice
baked potatoes which are bomb and green beans. Um. I
don't know. There's just such a This isn't like news,
but I guess it never ceases to amaze me how
much Titanic hunger there is. Like there's a Titanic exhibit
(13:08):
by my like in a strip mall in LA that
I was like driving by. It doesn't look you know,
it looks like a strip mall. Like somebody just was like, oh,
I've got this model I put together the Titanic lego set.
I'll open up a thing and make people pay to
come see it. It doesn't look like very well put
together and running this thing. I mean, the question must
(13:33):
be asked, girl boss. Hell yeah, make that money. Girl.
But I was like, all right, like I should take
my kid like I was into the Titanic for a
little bit when I was a kid, Like I should
take my kids to go see it. And like it's
sold out for like five weekends running not buy ahead
of time. I mean, but it's just it is a
(13:55):
it's a smash you know it's it's a hit. This
Titanic strip mall exhibit. I feel like Titanic and King
Tut's Tomb are like two things that just will never
go away, Like they just are endlessly regenerating interest. He's
not in there right, No, we're going to see that
thing and being like this is whack. Right. I was
(14:18):
in high school, I think I when I saw it,
and I was kind of like, well, here's the thing.
Show me the body or call me a cap because
I'm not really just look at it him anymore. That
is your famous catchphrase, show me a body or call
me your character was written out of stand by Me
because you're just so adamant that you enough of this bullshit.
(14:44):
You either show me this body or call me a
cap so character. So the Daily Wires Jeremy Boring, there's
like more and more people I know every time. But
he's offering an alternative to Hershey's after what he called
a controversial International Women's Day add But I just I
(15:08):
don't know. I love how the Republican Party continues to
go from like party of free market capitalism to like,
eat only this knockoff brand chocolate that I made in
my basement like it's it's very much like crumbling dictatorship vibes,
like on drink only Trump bottled water, it's the only
(15:29):
acceptable thing to hydrate your body with. I do love
this sort of um, the grifter energy that just simply
won't quit. Yeah, because who is he selling this chocolate too?
It's great, it's a great question. This is actually an
article that's like mainly being covered on Fox News and
Daily Wire like because yeah, it's griff, It's just basically
(15:53):
sponsored advertising. He's so more than three hundred thousand. Jeremy's
he him nuts and Jeremy she her nutlass the fuck nice?
So the women don't get nuts in theirs? Yeah, yeah,
I guess not. That's the way God intended it. As
a woman. It's like, I'm start, I'm a woman. I
(16:13):
actually cannot eat nuts. It's like, what are you talking about?
And finally, Walgreens is not selling abortion pills. Yeah, trash
because they don't want to anger the right Hey start
to break two but CVS for life? Yeah dog, I
don't even go to Walgreens. But yeah, I mean this
(16:34):
is this is how this sort of shit actually becomes dangerous.
Is like there's the right wing outrage, and then corporations
just get scared and backtrack and you know, say the
right things in their press releases, but then they make
policy decisions like this to just try and have a
I don't understand, Like where's the what what pressure is
(16:56):
on Walgreens. I'm sure there's like Walgreens for selling abortion pills.
I'm sure there's a very loud like mail campaign and
like social media campaign that is, you know, a very
small number of people, but they effectively scare these corporations off.
You know, that's like very surreal to me because who
(17:19):
is Like is Walgreens run by conservatives? Like is their
owner a conservative? Like I don't really get like why
even like acknowledge something like that, Like you're Walgreens, You're
a massive corporation. You're on like every corner. All of
a sudden, like this matters to you. Yeah, like are
you losing that much money? I'm gonna need to see
some numbers. Yeah, pull up the numbers, all right. Let
(17:41):
me just grab these numbers real quick and show to
you in a chart here. So Republican attorneys in twenty
states pressured Walgreens not to sell abortion medication and threatened
legal action, so that like a conservative legal department that
is like, well, we don't want to spend money on this,
so yeah, which is like, how would that to like say,
(18:05):
if you're like in a state that it doesn't matter,
they can come for you for that, like say California. Yeah,
so Gavin Newsom saying that California will no longer do
business with Walgreens or any company that cows to the
extremists and puts women's lives at risk, We're done. Yeah,
that makes sense, But then why not come for like
CBS the I think CBS didn't make the same decision
(18:29):
based on these threats by the Republican lawmaker. But I
actually don't know the answer to that. So um yeah, okay, yeah,
like CBS may have actually already like done, leave us alone.
I don't get. I don't understand like why it would
lead to being further banned or to stop selling in
(18:49):
states that don't give a fuck. It's doing the legally
conservative thing, which also in this case is the conservative
conservative thing, right. Yeah. Newsom's didn't. Anouncement came after Walgreen's
on Friday said it will stop distributing method press Stone,
part of the two drug combination commonly referred to as
the abortion pill, and it just seems like they got
(19:11):
threatened into obedience by legal action. So but yeah, I
mean this seems to be how things are moving towards
the right in general in the country, Like whether it
be you know, Rolling Stone taking down their headline when
somebody at Seepack, as we talked about on tomorrow's episode,
like called for basically like genocide against trans people, like
(19:38):
the Rolling Stone like wrote a headline of that, and
then the person who said it was like, well that's libelous,
and they like took it down because again like threatening
legal action. You know, these these massive multibillion dollar corporations
are not as brave as we want them to be
all the time. I don't think they're going to save
(19:59):
us in the end, and as neoliberalism head promised. So anyways,
those are some of the things that are trending on
this Monday, March sixth. Thank you so much for joining
super Producer around Josie. You will be joining trending again
later taking over the whole damn thing. Oh yes, yeah,
(20:21):
I was like, what are you talking about? Yes, I
will for International Women's Day. Producer Rebecca will only really
be talking about Magic Mike for International Day Amazing. So
on March eight, on Wednesday, look for a very special
trending episode. I don't know where can people find you?

Hoosie on Twitter. I'm at selling host Nie on Instagram.

(21:04):
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.

I'm just trying to do the work for Zach here,
So maybe he just needs to be honest with it
instead of coming with a take that is like actually
sex is fun picked up, and you guys are weird
(10:02):
for even watching this show, So stop trying to get
me to fuck Like, dude, literally just chill out. The
only problem with him is he's so uptight. It's like,
if you just chilled out a little bit, Yeah, like
you would actually be really having a great time on
this TV show that's all about you dating thirty women.
I don't know about you, but it seems like a
goddamn like treat you idiot men. But yeah, I mean
(10:27):
that's probably the case with a lot of people on
like reality TV who come off as villains. Is just
like they it's a lot of people watching you, and
like it's not a natural thing that you would just
be like cool and chill and fun. You know, it's
a or at least it's a it's not a thing
you could take for granted that everybody would be able
(10:48):
to like do. Right. Yeah, he just like can unwind.
But like I'm assuming that they try and do something
in the selection process like weed out people who are
just like so stressful. You know, Well, clearly they didn't. Yeah,
clearly because he's on the day as a bachelor is hectic.
(11:13):
If you show any weakness he'll send you home. Oh yeah,
you were saying that. He's like, he doesn't seem to
have a lot of empathy, right, just like I gotta
get get these numbers down. Yeah, he's like the women,
they're like, so I'm really struggling with the fact that
you're dating, you know, this many women and I'm getting
zero time and I don't understand why I'm still here.
And he's like, Okay, you're like that. Yeah, And it's
(11:37):
a it's a tough show to watch anyway, to commercial break,
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
we're back. We're back. Finally, it was a long break.
(11:59):
Titan meals are a thing apparently across the country. Special
events are being arranged that allow you to eat meals
that were served on the ship's final night, April fourteenth,
nineteen twelve. One dinner is happening on April fourteenth, and
(12:22):
like it's so what's happening at Titanic the artifact exhibition
in Orlando, And like adults pay sixty nine dollars, children
pay forty two dollars and you just eat like old food,
like not not old food, but like old fishes. Yeah,
the food is from then it's all incredibly poisonous. Um No,
(12:45):
it's just like chicken Versailles sirloin with burnet sauce twice
baked potatoes which are bomb and green beans. Um. I
don't know. There's just such a This isn't like news,
but I guess it never ceases to amaze me how
much Titanic hunger there is. Like there's a Titanic exhibit
(13:08):
by my like in a strip mall in LA that
I was like driving by. It doesn't look you know,
it looks like a strip mall. Like somebody just was like, oh,
I've got this model I put together the Titanic lego set.
I'll open up a thing and make people pay to
come see it. It doesn't look like very well put
together and running this thing. I mean, the question must
(13:33):
be asked, girl boss. Hell yeah, make that money. Girl.
But I was like, all right, like I should take
my kid like I was into the Titanic for a
little bit when I was a kid, Like I should
take my kids to go see it. And like it's
sold out for like five weekends running not buy ahead
of time. I mean, but it's just it is a
(13:55):
it's a smash you know it's it's a hit. This
Titanic strip mall exhibit. I feel like Titanic and King
Tut's Tomb are like two things that just will never
go away, Like they just are endlessly regenerating interest. He's
not in there right, No, we're going to see that
thing and being like this is whack. Right. I was
(14:18):
in high school, I think I when I saw it,
and I was kind of like, well, here's the thing.
Show me the body or call me a cap because
I'm not really just look at it him anymore. That
is your famous catchphrase, show me a body or call
me your character was written out of stand by Me
because you're just so adamant that you enough of this bullshit.
(14:44):
You either show me this body or call me a
cap so character. So the Daily Wires Jeremy Boring, there's
like more and more people I know every time. But
he's offering an alternative to Hershey's after what he called
a controversial International Women's Day add But I just I
(15:08):
don't know. I love how the Republican Party continues to
go from like party of free market capitalism to like,
eat only this knockoff brand chocolate that I made in
my basement like it's it's very much like crumbling dictatorship vibes,
like on drink only Trump bottled water, it's the only
(15:29):
acceptable thing to hydrate your body with. I do love
this sort of um, the grifter energy that just simply
won't quit. Yeah, because who is he selling this chocolate too?
It's great, it's a great question. This is actually an
article that's like mainly being covered on Fox News and
Daily Wire like because yeah, it's griff, It's just basically
(15:53):
sponsored advertising. He's so more than three hundred thousand. Jeremy's
he him nuts and Jeremy she her nutlass the fuck nice?
So the women don't get nuts in theirs? Yeah, yeah,
I guess not. That's the way God intended it. As
a woman. It's like, I'm start, I'm a woman. I
(16:13):
actually cannot eat nuts. It's like, what are you talking about?
And finally, Walgreens is not selling abortion pills. Yeah, trash
because they don't want to anger the right Hey start
to break two but CVS for life? Yeah dog, I
don't even go to Walgreens. But yeah, I mean this
(16:34):
is this is how this sort of shit actually becomes dangerous.
Is like there's the right wing outrage, and then corporations
just get scared and backtrack and you know, say the
right things in their press releases, but then they make
policy decisions like this to just try and have a
I don't understand, Like where's the what what pressure is
(16:56):
on Walgreens. I'm sure there's like Walgreens for selling abortion pills.
I'm sure there's a very loud like mail campaign and
like social media campaign that is, you know, a very
small number of people, but they effectively scare these corporations off.
You know, that's like very surreal to me because who
(17:19):
is Like is Walgreens run by conservatives? Like is their
owner a conservative? Like I don't really get like why
even like acknowledge something like that, Like you're Walgreens, You're
a massive corporation. You're on like every corner. All of
a sudden, like this matters to you. Yeah, like are
you losing that much money? I'm gonna need to see
some numbers. Yeah, pull up the numbers, all right. Let
(17:41):
me just grab these numbers real quick and show to
you in a chart here. So Republican attorneys in twenty
states pressured Walgreens not to sell abortion medication and threatened
legal action, so that like a conservative legal department that
is like, well, we don't want to spend money on this,
so yeah, which is like, how would that to like say,
(18:05):
if you're like in a state that it doesn't matter,
they can come for you for that, like say California. Yeah,
so Gavin Newsom saying that California will no longer do
business with Walgreens or any company that cows to the
extremists and puts women's lives at risk, We're done. Yeah,
that makes sense, But then why not come for like
CBS the I think CBS didn't make the same decision
(18:29):
based on these threats by the Republican lawmaker. But I
actually don't know the answer to that. So um yeah, okay, yeah,
like CBS may have actually already like done, leave us alone.
I don't get. I don't understand like why it would
lead to being further banned or to stop selling in
(18:49):
states that don't give a fuck. It's doing the legally
conservative thing, which also in this case is the conservative
conservative thing, right. Yeah. Newsom's didn't. Anouncement came after Walgreen's
on Friday said it will stop distributing method press Stone,
part of the two drug combination commonly referred to as
the abortion pill, and it just seems like they got
(19:11):
threatened into obedience by legal action. So but yeah, I
mean this seems to be how things are moving towards
the right in general in the country, Like whether it
be you know, Rolling Stone taking down their headline when
somebody at Seepack, as we talked about on tomorrow's episode,
like called for basically like genocide against trans people, like
(19:38):
the Rolling Stone like wrote a headline of that, and
then the person who said it was like, well that's libelous,
and they like took it down because again like threatening
legal action. You know, these these massive multibillion dollar corporations
are not as brave as we want them to be
all the time. I don't think they're going to save
(19:59):
us in the end, and as neoliberalism head promised. So anyways,
those are some of the things that are trending on
this Monday, March sixth. Thank you so much for joining
super Producer around Josie. You will be joining trending again
later taking over the whole damn thing. Oh yes, yeah,
(20:21):
I was like, what are you talking about? Yes, I
will for International Women's Day. Producer Rebecca will only really
be talking about Magic Mike for International Day Amazing. So
on March eight, on Wednesday, look for a very special
trending episode. I don't know where can people find you?
