Google Trendcast

Google Trendcast

We talk about some of the nonsense that people are Googling today. We grab one or two of Google's trending topics and ask: why do people care? From the Grimace shake and Keke Palmer (which we learn is not a variation of the Arnold Palmer, but maybe should be) to aspartame and football hooligans, Google Trendcast is guaranteed to be unpredictable if nothing else. And yes, we're fully aware of the massive amount of irony in spending time talking about a topic that is, according to us, pretty much a waste of time. So sue us, except you Google, definitely don't sue us.
