Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, everybody.

It's me, Miles Gray, and I'm here with the scam goddard's yourself, Lacey Mosley, for this afternoon installment of Across 100 and Trend Street. Because we're talking about what's trending on the internet. Shout out Bobby Womack. Song. Across 100 and Trend Street. That one fucking goes. Now let's look at what is trending here on God's good internet.

Jim Carrey. He is trending because, and I think this is funny, he will be playing Joe Biden on SNL. And I'm hoping it's just fire Marshall Bill. Just with a suit on and without the burn makeup. And I feel like I will like that version of this character. Um, but yeah, I don't know.

Thoughts on Jim Carrey being, uh, this elections possible darling performer. The interesting thing to me is, is that Jason Sudeikis had been playing this for so long. So did he decide he didn't want to do it no more? Or like, did they,

or they were like, nah, we're going to get Jim? I don't know. I'm confused. I wonder if it was like a get for Jim Carrey if Sudeikis went, guys, come on. I'm past that now. I don't know if you see me. I have a show on Quibi or Peacock or whatever the fuck, pretending to be a soccer coach. That's what I'm doing now.

So miss me with that. Yeah, I don't know. And Jason Sudeikis was an SNL cast member at a point. So it's interesting to me that they were like, okay, we're going to revamp this. Because I thought Jason was great. He looked great as Joe Biden. It made sense.

I don't know. Jim doesn't look as much like Joe Biden as Jason does. No, no. I mean, but again, if it's Fire Marshall Bill, I think I would laugh at that. I don't think they're going to allow that because they're like, come on, go easy on Joe, guys.

Don't make him look like a falling apart corpse. It's, oh, maybe he is a little intense. But anyway, we'll see. Shout out to all the new SNL cast members. I saw it was announced. I don't know who it was, but I feel like it's always people I'm at least two degrees away from somehow.

I have to shout out Lauren Holt because she's a UCB alumni. So we're happy to get one of our own. A little secret about UCB. If you know about the Upright Citizens Brigade, which is a comedy theater, sometimes at our all theater meetings every year, we would get yelled at by our proprietors. I won't say which, but there's four people who created UCB. It's Amy Poehler, Ian Robbins,

Matt Walsh, and Matt Besser. And they'd be like, why don't we have more people on SNL? Wow. So, so Echo Wodum being on there. Cause everybody's on a,

everybody was on every other workplace fucking comedy on NBC. That's why. Come on, relax the four. We were getting the bag, but listen, Groundlings was beating us for a minute. They were getting all the girls on NBC. That's why. Come on, relax the four. We were getting the bag. But listen, Groundlings was beating us for a minute. They were getting all the girls on there. The Groundlings was, yes.

Your Will Ferrells, Sherry O'Terrys, Chris Catanz, like that whole generation. Well, UCB wasn't even around yet. So give it a, let it cook, okay? They were beating us. I don't know if you guys know, but there's a turf war against all the small comedy theaters. There's Second City, IO, UCB, and we're all gangs.

Yes, and it's called the Battle of Who Could Care Less. Right, the corniest battle ever. Let's see. What else is trending is PS5 Showcase. For anybody who is with a gamer, you know these three syllables. P-S-5. Wait, I guess it's five? Five-a.

It's five, two. How many syllables is five? Five. Five. One? Five. Can we get a syllable count? One.

Okay, good. One. I'm hearing one. Five. Getting one from the producer. Yep. And we can confirm it is a one-syllable word. Unless you say five on it.

Yes. It's still one. Wow. Unless you say five on it. Yes. It's still one. Wow. It's not often that I get excited for a video game console.

Not since PS2. Because before that, I was kind of broke. And other times, I just didn't have time to play video games. Now, I work from home a little bit more. I like to escape in my games a little more. I like to play games online with zeitgang a little more so a ps5 coming out uh appeals to me as a very sedentary human being who likes to live vicariously through their hands and controllers how many consoles do you have because you can't play certain games on different consoles right unless you get the soldier boy bootleg um yeah whatever shout out to soldier boy i mean honestly the soldier we uh-huh i actually

have got to fire up my soundboard one more time for him yes so i only have one console i'm a kind of uh you know one console kind of person i did have an xbox i had an xbox one and i got that for free from somebody who got it as a wrap gift from working on gray's anatomy i remember that very well shout out the homie Lindsay. She's a script supervisor. Sorry for putting your business out there, but you did hook it up. I just gave you a note for that. So I appreciate that.

But yeah, I'm just like, but I'm loyal to PS, the PlayStation console life family. So that's me. I'm loyal. I'm brand loyal, if anything. You know what I mean? It's a good time for that to come out i mean people can't leave their houses so you know they got to get the next appliance that's gonna i call game machines appliances obviously i'm not a gamer i like game machine as well a game machine is an appliance they got to get the new appliances to hook them up so they can have entertainment and i'm not mad at that that's the way that i i have gardenscapes on my phone and homescapes and all the little oh my god can i tell you

they're addicting and it's like the worst thing for me miles because you can spend money in there and i've spent hundreds of dollars no you didn't i have it's so bad i know coins so i can so you have been lying to me because initially when you admitted that you have been fully ensnared by the Gardenscapes and the whole scapes family of games, that it was just taking up a lot of time. And you were dabbling here and there to get some some coins that you were spending real life money on in-game coins. Now you're telling me we are in the hundreds of we're in three digits. Listen, I used to flirt with the people on Gardenscapes to get me some free lives and some coins. And then when quarantine happened, I was like, damn, I'm playing this even more often. And now it's like, oh, you want this package for $54.99?

And it's going to give you these hands and these rakes and these shovels. Need those. I've done it too many times. It's really bad. I don't ever want to check my bank statement and know how much it is. It's bad. Well, that's what I do. You just spend until the card doesn't work.

That's what my mom always taught me. And then let's see. What else? Ben Shapiro. He's trending because he's called it quits. And he's moving to Nashville. So I'm pretty sure now Nashville has Tommy Lahren because I feel like Tommy Lahren has also left. I know she's been around LA. I think she went to Nashville. So I'm pretty sure now Nashville has Tommy Lahren because I feel like Tommy Lahren has also left. I know she's been around LA. I think

she went to Nashville. Ben's there. Rogan left to go to Austin. So I don't know. Maybe it's just too lib out here. Too soft for them. But I'm surprised, Ben. You know, for how dry Los Angeles is, I'm surprised

you didn't want to stay here because there's not moisture around here. And I know I have to make a real lowbrow wap joke, but that's what it is. And already people on Twitter are like, he's not going to like how much it rains in Nashville. It's so arid in L.A. But yeah, you're right. I mean, no one's going to be like a huge fan of Ben Shapiro in L.A., but if he goes to nashville you know he might have a chance in dollyland you know i think it's well you know but it's funny because a lot of progressive people who there are a ton of progressive people in nashville too who are sort of looking at like

why the fuck are these people coming here so they're like i'm like hey sorry they they thought they would be they would fit in in la clearly that didn't work i don't know if you heard california is a liberal hellscape with the fires quite literally. Well, Nashville is country music USA. So I think when people think country music town they're going to think like ooh, they'll support me as a racist.

Yeah. Or I guess you blend in like there'll definitely be more people who like won't like look at your body of work and try and scream you out of a restaurant. But I don't know. Right.

Let us know. Nashville Zeitgang tell us how you plan on welcoming these canceled pieces of trash to your good town. And finally, Kanye West is trending. I know earlier today I just saw I had to put this man on mute because he'd had over 100 tweets in an hour just going page by page of his music contracts, putting them out there.

And then Lacey, earlier you said he peed on a Grammy, and I just thought you were just saying that off the cuff. But he literally urinated on a Grammy award. He put a Grammy award in a toilet and then filmed the stream of his urine onto the Grammy Award in the toilet. Hmm. Okay. So that's a clue. People are responding. Grammy winners are responding.

They're like. Responding, yes. This is so disrespectful. I have won Grammy and I really appreciate it and blah, blah, blah. Shut the fuck up. It's a piece of metal. And this man is not well. Don't look at this as like,

that's what's also so frustrating about it all. Yeah, and I don't like to stigmatize mental illness because there are plenty of people with bipolar disorder who are managing their illness, who take their medication, or do whatever holistic things that keep them on track. So I don't like to talk about his behavior in the frame of mental illness

all the time however i know it absolutely is affecting him because obviously when you're manic and you have a lot of energy it's the best place creatively or at least he feels like it is so normally when kanye is releasing music or doing music we kind of find him in these manic episodes and people are like no he's doing this so that he can promote his album but it's like he might have just gone off his meds because he feels more creative when he's off of them so i try to be like considerate of that and of who he is however he's just done so much detrimental shit to the black community just of like you know he told us we all chose to be slaves and now he's telling us he gonna free us from slavery from rca and sony and i'm like we we're not slaves to the record label well you but i will free you and then i will give you your complimentary gap clothing uh once i once i free you oh kanye from dripless slavery and that's

the thing about these organizations is like they don't realize by excluding talent and excluding people of color and women that they're making themselves obsolete because at the end of the day we start to realize we look around it's like there's a bunch of old white men who like what they like when are you going to do your award show the scammies honestly the scammies is going to require way too much security because the whole audience will be criminals so wow i mean and who's this year who is getting the rachel dolezal award i mean it's gotta be um what is her name cougar jessica krug jessica krug what is her name yeah i think that's it um it's gotta

be her i mean yeah that's the weird thing is she told on herself rachel was like i'm a black queen till i die and her family was like she white but no she's not but jessica was like i guess i'll come out now i think she thought she was gonna get the same rachel treatment but here's what i will say about jessica i'm turning it around if white people can choose to be black i should be able to choose to be black, I should be able to choose to be white so I can start getting some privileges. Yeah. You could. Just do a reverse. What was

that terrible trash movie where like that black or the white guy was cancelled on the radio so he adopted an alter ego as a black woman? Oh, you know I never watched that. But you know what I mean? But you do that version, but the other way. Well, back back in the day there was a black woman who inherited land and there was a bunch of oil on it i can't remember her name but she inherited this land there's a bunch of oil on it and in

order to reap the financial benefits of her ownings um she had to get a white benefactor who watched over her and she got legal paperwork that allowed her to travel as a white person like she had papers that were like i'm white oh okay damn that's a flex they were like hey excuse me colored colored women are over there excuse me look at my papers i am white oh shit i just need that for when i get pulled over by the police wait a minute officer true joanne the scammer vibes i am a caucasian woman glamorous caucasian glamorous okay caucasians to the back but i feel for kanye i don't know what his next venture is i wonder how i wonder if he had any influence on Keeping Up With The Kardashians being canceled or if it was just a ratings plummet that ended up there.

And for them, I'm sure they're just tired of just like being so extra. Like, I get it at a certain level. Like, maybe you're just like, we have money and enough attention. Like, I kind of want my own time without having cameras here. Well, they have Instagram followers that are like when you're in 150 160 million people following you on instagram like you really don't need television you're not even getting that many views per episode yeah nowhere near thanks for breaking that down let's see and that's why i keep i always keep my followers low i like to keep them below 20 000 because of that rule that you taught

me you get too many dilutes the brand. Thank you for that advice. So please don't follow me. Miles, people will be stalking you forever. They're going to follow you. Miles of gray. Miles of gray. At D-I-V-A-L-A-C-I, Diva Lacey on Twitter and Instagram.

For her, thank you, Diva, for joining me on this trendtastic journey. Stop by tomorrow morning. Maybe we'll do the regular show. Maybe. Maybe it'll be a doozy. Until then, everybody, please stay safe. Wear a mask.

Wash your hands. Be considerate of others. Be kind to yourself. Kick racism in the ass if you have an opportunity to. And other than that, be well. Love y'all.
