I think because it's one of the first things we record, I'm like, let's just Just fucking chill out, dude. Why don't we just be chill about this, dude? Yeah, all right. Anyway, that's Miles Gray. Because then you're going to be like, yeah. That's Miles Gray.

Check a month. Um, my name is Jack O'Brien. There you go. There is. Give me four. Give me five. Give me fuel. Give me five.

Dude, I thought, look, I always thought he was saying, give me four, give me five. It's give me fuel, give me fire. Anyway, Metallica reference to start the show off. It would be one of the type of people who would be like, Give me five up top, brother. Atfield? Just, yeah. I'm like, all right.

Yeah. Why not? All right. This is the episode where we tell you what's trending. It is Tuesday, October 28th. News to me. That seems, I guess Halloween's coming up. What do we got going on in the news?

We got another once in a century storm happening in the past couple of years. Melissa is being described as Jamaica's Storm of the Century We keep hearing that designation used I feel like Probably time to start acknowledging That these aren't happening once every century Yeah, exactly

I've been pushing for naming them after Fossil Fuel executives Exactly And I just I want to Put out a specific pitch I think this should be called Hurricane Darren Woods. That's the CEO of Exxon. And the young man grew up around military bases

because his father was a military supplier. And then he took over for Rex Tillerson. And his specialty is oil refining. Oh, great. But I think it's, I think I've actually found there is someone named Melissa who works at Exxon Mobile. So I think we can just call this one. Just like find that person.

Melissa Bond, vice president of subsurface and subsea at ExxonMobil. Welcome. Yeah. There you go. There you go. Just add the last name on. Yeah.

On October 5th, 2020, Bloomberg News reported that Exxon was set to increase its annual carbon emissions by about 17%. By the way, Exxon, the first company, maybe the first people to know about climate change. They like started. doing testing in the 80s they were like ahead of it they were like oh shit is this true is this real i should shut the fuck up about it and then uh found out it was real and promptly started spending money not to reverse it but to convince people it wasn't real yeah they put their thing down

flipped it and reversed it um that's what they did this storm it's everyone i mean they're saying it's they're like it's rivaling other storms that were thought to be the most powerful like starting in the Atlantic. Yeah. 185 miles an hour when they expect like structure failure. It's going to be catastrophic. And it's just touchdown. Yeah.

So it's already been blamed for at least seven deaths. Jesus. So, yeah, Darren Woods. Darren Woods, named one of the U.S.'s top climate villains by the Guardian in 22 after Exxon lobbyists were captured on video, revealing the company's efforts to obstruct climate legislation in Congress. Darren Woods Hurricane Darren Woods

Hurricane Darren Woods Let's talk Let's talk Halloween Let's kick it off With a little Halloween Because Fun-sized candy Getting even funner

This year Smaller Yes Unfortunately yes When he said that I was like smaller We're gonna see more shrinkflation With sizes of candies

And also So I expected them to shrink The size of candy's of candy. I did not expect them to change the recipe. They're actually scaling back the amount of chocolate that is in the candy and adding sugar. So drop chocolate, add sugar. Let's see who we got here. So some specialty chocolate makers are reducing the cocoa content in their bars and increasing the sugar, like selling a bar with 65% cocoa content. So 75%. Hershey told its retail partners in May that it would adjust its price pack architecture what the fuck kind of price pack architecture

right dude we're we're fucking we're stepping on the cocoa just so you know we're cutting that shit with fucking baby laxative now uh so it's not going to be as pure as it used to be uh and we're changing our price pack architecture i like that they're so they're shrinking it but they're adding sugar they're like me they're like we don't want to reduce the harm we're doing we Well, I think it's just to make up for the lack of chocolates. It's like, well, shit. It's got to at least be sweet. Sweet brown is what they're going to be calling it pretty soon.

Not even fucking chocolate. Sweet brown bars. Yeah. I'm in favor of adding sugar to everything because a bit of a sugar freak. Yeah, I don't do it to you. But apparently this has been going on for a while. Last year, someone went viral for discovering a fun-sized bag of M&Ms that had a single M&M in it. I mean, and it wasn't a big M&M and M.

it was just you know yeah yeah yeah oh my god got a bad hand of cards on that one sorry yeah look look sometimes you're gonna get the rare single m&M bag but yeah feels appropriate our writer and rival because he's from Toronto a jam McNabb was pointing out he was asking a good question how did we let candy companies get away with branding the idea of getting less candy fun yeah and so not not the most fun origin of course so you know back in the 30s when they started giving out candy so it used to be a fruit holiday and people were like nah we can't really monetize that yeah you just have a like sack of peeled bananas um hey they're pre-field kid just they're free field just fruit flies you got you got it they're about to go off a holiday for children and fruit flies there's nothing worse than

holding an unpeeled banana like i have to do that constantly with my kid and I'm like dude this is the just eat it in the peel he's like I don't like it in the peel yeah and I'm like fine I'll hold it just give me your leavings it started in the great depression they were like not everybody can afford these full things so uh the candy bar makers experimented with junior uh was like their name for the smaller which I remember that yeah yeah from the depression oh man yeah I remember that cooking up my scrapple and then in the well, you know about Scrapple, man. That's a Philly delicacy.

A Philly delicacy. I was going straight to your heart, dude. Just thick bologna. Just thick slices of that scrap. Thick bologna, that I feel like they, I feel like Scrapple is essentially to bologna what orange juice with pulp is to, like, the pulp strain. There's just like chunks of shit in there that we don't know, we don't know its origin,

nor do we want to look it's organ meat and flour dude so it's like a thick loaf dude i love fries up real nice i want to have some scrapple anyway so i do i'm going to uncle ugeys we're getting some scrappel we're getting some hoogies hey let me get a let me get a scraple egg and cheese that's right are we close to having like bringing this concept of like well because we are acknowledging the you know economic gulf between people in this country that there's just going to be like fun-sized milk, fun-sized bread, junior Tylenol, I mean, there is that example. But you get where I'm going to get.

You get right. Yeah, I see what you're getting at. Yeah. I mean, why not? It's funny that coach, like, or economy class, like, they should just call it fun class. It's the fun part of the airplane. That's what they're going to do. That's what they're going to rebrand, like, steerage.

They're going to put people in the belly of the plane. They're like, it's chilly down there. just so you know. Yeah. Bring a coat. You can slow the aging process because you actually freeze your body. Yeah. I'm flying premium fun class this flight.

I mean, spas are doing that, like cold cryotherapy. Just throw them down in steerage. Yeah, but they know, yeah, they're not. That crowd ain't going for the cryotherapy. Mars came up with the fun size thing and made it a part of like a healthy eating trend in the 60s and started marketing it as like a good idea for school lunches. It's basically fucking a nibble above candy bar. It's basically health food.

Yeah, I like that. I mean, it's like such, it's such little processed sugar bullshit that like fun size is basically like eating an apple. I only smoke fun size Marlboroughs, aka Marlborough lights. One other companies tried to use the term fun size marsood. I mean, they trademark the word fun for candy bar use. but yeah it's it's also dietitians say that it can be the worst size possible because you're not thinking of it you're not like oh i just had a candy bar you're thinking of it as like dude i just had of course a bite of the candy bar don't you have that same sort of fucked up

tortured logic when you eat these i ate bro so we we're in this new neighborhood there might be trick or treaters this year so her majesty like bought a fucking you know like a bag of like mixed twicks and snickers, but it's like green inside, like fun shit. The way I was like, well, is that part of the shrink? No, it's on per year. This is definitely on purpose.

It's not grass. Not an oversight because the FDA is slipping. No, this was like just, it's intentionally green, but the way I was like, well, I feel like three fun size snickers and four fun size twicks equals half of snickers and half of twicks.

Yeah. So let's and then like I look at the pile of rappers next to my like on my desk and I'm like this is humiliating just the volume because but it is fun it is fun yeah I'm basically pre-diabetic for the whole month of November because my kids like they like they like we kind of raise them on fruit they don't get a lot of candy and they somehow like forget about their candy stash. Oh yeah I feel like you say this every and I do not. I certainly do not. forget about that can be at risk exactly yeah think about your old man kids you know what i mean any any candy bars you're particularly looking forward to consume my bro i love i love mr good bar you know it's like my one weird stoop like the one everyone hates i would like inherit those i love the special dark chocolate ones but the way i eat that i let it melt damn you're like i don't chew on that shit baby i let i put that it's like packing a lip put it on my bottom let you're just lip is packed with dark chocolate

dark chocolate man into my bottom lip Twix kick cap fucking I mean everything I just don't want for me I'm like one of those kids I don't want hard candy I just want chocolate yeah yeah me too if it's got chocolate we're good

yeah my kids are one of those into the non chocolate candy so again I'm willing my god like what like fucking mamba I mean they like Mamba they like the nerds clusters which they I have to I have to admit.

All respect. All praise to the nurse. So we get so many trigger-treaters. I have to buy at least 2,000 pieces of candy every year. And this year, I had the $2,000 in the shopping cart, and then I saw the nerds clusters. I was like, got to do it to them. Got to do it to them. Got to do it for them.

Yeah. For the children. Meanwhile, cut to you eating them all in the dark. Exactly. And also the shit, also the cost right now? Crazy. I didn't mention that. But that bag was like fucking tail.

like 12 bucks. Yes. Yeah. For a little bit of fun-sized Snickers and Twix. Fortunately, I am a bit of a VIP at Ralph's in that I'm a Rouse member. And so I got some nice discounts. I get the savings too, but still like it used to buying Halloween candy used to be like an afterthought.

We're like, yeah, let me just throw that in the fucking cart. Yeah, I still spent entirely too much money, but they show you like as the money is being discounted and that gets me everything. I get you. Like, these poor fucking people, these poor suckers. They go like this. They go, okay, here's your total. Actually, let me, and now with your club savings.

Oh, yes. I saved $13. I said, I'm fucking making money here. Yeah, right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I live below a cult leader and I fear I've angered her. Well, wait a minute.

So, Fiatia, no, she's a cult leader. Well, to come. Luckily, it's I'm not afraid of a scary story week on the OK Storytime podcast, so you'll find out soon. This person writes, My neighbor's been blasting music every day and doing dirt rituals, and now my ceiling is collapsing. I try to report them, but things keep getting weirder. I think they may be part of a cult. Hold up, Sophia. A real-life cult?

And what is a dirt ritual? No clue. But according to this person, contractors are tearing down the patio to find out what's going on with their ceiling, and her neighbors are not happy. Well, she needs to report them ASAP. She did. And now they've been confronting her in really creepy ways all the time.

So, do we find out if this person survives their neighborhood cult or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everybody? This is Snacks from the Trabner's podcast,

In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican and jungle to start over, but one will end up dead. The other tried for murder. Not once. People weren't wild. Not twice. Stunned. But three times. John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dreams starts to crumble, and our couple retreat from reality.

They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Crying Wolf Podcast is the story of two men bound by injustice. The city haunted by its secrets, and the quest for redemption, no matter the price. White victim, female, pretty, wealthy, black defendant. Chicago, a white woman's murder, a black man behind bars, for a crime he didn't commit.

I had 90 years for killing somebody I have never seen it. He says the police are his friends, and then that's it. They turn on it. A corrupt detective. How he was interrogated the techniques. That's crazy. a snitch and a life stolen. They got the wrong guy.

But on the inside, Lee Harris finds an ally in his sally, Robert, who swears to tell the truth about what happened to Lee and free his friend. And if you're with me, you're golden,

I'll take care of you. I'm going to be with you. You suck with me for life. Listen to the Crying Wolf podcast, starting on October 22nd, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

And we're back. Some other news stories. The anti-vax movement is spreading its wings and coming for pet owners as well. And it makes sense. Yeah. Coming for all of our asses as a result. Because the things that pets get vaccinated for include rabies and other diseases that can spread to humans. and have you seen a human with rabies before?

Have you seen like those old like test videos of like a person who's had rabies? I've seen 28 days later. And that that was plenty. That works. Okay. Yeah, same thing. Oh,

I want split hairs here. It's, it's not gnarly. Yeah, I'm like, bro, that's, I feel like all I had to see was like an old grainy,

like, you know, silent film of a person with rabies from like the 40s that I was like, yeah, fuck this looks uncomfortable yeah i like drinking a glass of water yeah that you know they're that fear of water that's like one of the most fucked up things about it is just like that idea that you like suddenly are afraid of water yeah yeah yeah um oh it's from 1929 i think it's like a famous one cook county hospital god jesus and it's like you don't survive once once it gets to that stage

you're done but yeah the new york times interviewed a bunch of veterinarians who were like yeah you thought you thought it was only like pediatricians dealing with this shit like you know this used to be the boring part you get a new puppy or kitten bring it in they get their shots and they're allowed to be like out in the world after that right right um otherwise they're at great risk um but that was obviously before the pandemic pulled the wool from all of our eyes and showed us that uh vaccines are just a plan to take over the world by vaccinating pets. That's how they're going to get the microchip in my dog.

Not the literal microchip I put in them. That's fine. The other one. They are doing that. They do suggest that you microchip your dog. So I can see how they're getting paranoid. It does suck because this is, this coincides with private equities takeover of veterinary medicine.

Yeah, sure. So people are getting screwed and like having the health of their pets, like, held hostage by companies trying to take money, uh, from them, you know? I, I bet the next pandemic is going to come from a fucking dog park in Santa Monica. Right. You know what I mean? Like it truly could. Those are the people in L.A. who are like so woo-woo fucking dumb fuck, you know, like,

vaccines. Yeah. And then they're like, and my dog. So when they get fucking parvo from like sniffing the dog. shit at the dog park or some other preventable disease it's I this is the thing that it really blows my mind is like so many of these people who are anti-science they think that all of the stability that they are experiencing right now is because it's just it's just ambient it's like a law of the universe it's not because this is all

being held up by a scat the scaffolding of modern medicine and science right so it's like oh yeah my dog doesn't need a vac I mean who even knows about sick dogs anyone. Yeah, because people's fucking dogs are vaccinated. Okay. Exactly. So you don't get to be like, it's like being on a plane. It's like, well, we don't need the wheels to fly. We're flying right now. It's like, well, you need them to land. Fuck face. What are you going to do? Just crash the plane. In the same way with all of this, like, this insistence that all of the stability you have is just a given. It's not because

this is, we're actively engaging with the best medical practices. But we've made it invisible because we just like don't really pay attention to it. It's a good fucking so stupid about it. And then they're like actively taking it apart. And there are people who are actively doing that and we're not allowed to, you know, nobody talks about their names because they're like

private equity companies that are basically hidden behind very boring legal protections. But there is from the article, it is out there the concept of poitism. Fuck off. What? What do you mean? What does that mean? People are like

my cat got vaccinated. and it got autism. The concept has no scientific basis. The idea that vaccines cause autism and people has been repeatedly debunked and autism is a diagnosis that does not exist in other species. But don't let that stop you.

I mean, again, this also makes sense too because the first thing that you feel like you're in control of and can completely put at risk because you have some weird God complex is your children. And then if the next level of that is your pets because they're like, well, these are the things that are, I have to take care of. And I'm just going to determine you don't need a fucking, whatever, kennel cough vaccine or parvo or all the other things that you need.

Yeah. I think you might be on to something with the Santa Monica thing from the article. Several vaccine preventable illnesses, including leptospirosis. Leptosporosis and rabies can spread from pets to people. Oh, my God. And he points out, dogs are sharing our beds with us now. They're kissing our children's faces. that's especially in Santa Monica in some houses yeah exactly I mean it's a cultural thing but yeah that's

like I said it's gonna happen it's gonna happen in a dog park in Santa Monica it's gonna be the fucking wet market in Wuhan okay is the new fuck is the Santa Monica dog park with all these people who are just going to be completely the heads in the clouds because it's like yippee the crystals yeah my dog's been immunized by crystals oh how it has a yoni egg in right now. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fine. The dog's fine. It's really helped with its made-up diagnosis. Autism? Like, that's so fucking, it's so diabolical. It's where we're at. Yeah. Also, like, imagining, like, because I'm pretty sure, like, my dog would, would have been diagnosed. It had some interesting tendencies, you know? Like, you could, you could convince yourself of

anything with dogs. Oh, like, oh, my dog's real quirky. Just reflecting off of your behavior, you know? Right. Like, yeah. I think my dog had depression for sure. But didn't it just kind of, which one? The King Charles Cavalier?

Yeah, the first one. Not Finn, Miles. Miles. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Did you meet Miles? No, no, but I've heard, I've heard tell of Miles and the tragic. Miles had the energy of like a, like, 1950s heroin addict.

Oh, wow. always resting, always seemed a little bit like melancholy, but it was really, really a sweetheart. It sounds like, uh, what's his face? The guy, um, who's that comedian, uh, Stephen, some, Stephen Wright? Stephen Wright. Stephen Wright. He had Stephen Wright.

Stephen Wright. The dog, I don't know how many people are going to get that reference, but he was, without the good jokes, though. Right, right. All right. In other, uh, end of the world news, uh, the Texas Attorney General is suing Johnson and Johnson over Tylenol's, uh, connection to, autism. Yep, according to human sunburn RFK was like, yeah, this is

why it's to blame. So he's suing Johnson and Johnson accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to warn consumers about the risk of taking Tylenol while pregnant. And again, I get that Ken Paxton is probably using just that announcement

from RFK to be like, man, no, this is my grounds for a lawsuit. But like, evidence per chance? But you have because RFK certainly didn't, at least none that you would probably want to take to a fucking like into litigation. So then my next question is, is this a shakedown? Do they want money from Johnson and Johnson? Because this isn't how this administration operates, right? Yeah. They like just put out a bunch of lawsuits and then the people settle because they, but I feel like to Brian the editor's point, like shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't Johnson and Johnson be suing the government? Yes. And so I feel like they will not be settling this one because that would require them to admit to some shit. Or, you know what I mean? Like admit culpability. So I'm sure they're going to come after them guns blazing. Johnson and Johnson is not a company. I'm overly worried is going to get fucked over by this company. Or they do. Or they or they just, I don't know. Who knows? But again, because if that isn't the reason, like, Like they're pursuing what even to me is someone a total layman thinks is like a losing case. And I'm like, this is just to take up headlines and distract from like the Epstein ballroom and the illegal boat killings and the ice kidnappings and the government shut down and Trump's health is back in the news.

It could like what this is so stupid. Isn't they just bomb four more boats? Yes. The fuck. Yeah. They're just doing doing more crimes for sport. War crimes for sport. Yeah, I do feel like Johnson & Johnson is going to be, if this is ever, when this is ever over this administration slash if this administration is ever over, like they will be the, you know, whatever the voting machine company that.

Oh, Dominion. Dominion. Yeah. Like, they'll have some wild settlements happening with the government at that point. Oh, yeah. RFK just has to give his body to Johnson and Johnson. Part of the settlement. We just get a medical test on you. Yeah. Finally, a game three of the world series happened last night. Oh my God.

And this morning, not to go, not to go full. Technically not. Kid at a sleepover party on you, but. It was up till the morning. Yeah. Up till 1203 dip shit, but okay. Yeah, that game, that game ended last, that game last night. Oh, you mean that game this morning?

Because I stayed up until this morning. Did you, did you watch it all the way or did you? Hell no. okay right i watched it to the 14th inning and i was just like man you i was texting my father-in-law who lives in dc while it was happening and i'm like bro you you're an older man he's like you stay up for the whole thing yeah i stayed up for the whole thing i mean i had people over i had two of my friends over it's funny they don't drink um and i don't really have like i don't drink really like during the week or most ever a lot of the time but the amount of i just have to say as an aside

the amount of sparkling waters these two tore through in my house. Oh, man. I feel like I got to charge them. I'm like, that's my last spin drift. I drink spin drifts like a, like they were beers. I drink spin drift alcoholically. And I didn't, I wasn't trying to like, I mean, like these are like my really close friends and, you know, they're like one just doesn't drink out of like preference and another one

is sober. So like I don't, I, you know, like, it's pretty open our conversation about it. But part of me was like, I was like, guys, man, you, you got to lay. I only have like three more spark of waters left and I have to like I have to get through tomorrow too. Please drinking me dry and then I got mad at the end of the game. I was like, look at this three sips taken motherfucking water. Oh, they were leaving empty.

They were leaving half. Come on. Injured soldiers. I have never. I have never done that with anything. I know. I'm just saying like specifically alcohol, which is why where I ran into a problem. But yeah, I happen to that old mentality for a bit.

like don't drink up all my seltzers and then just piss up anyway so yeah we were up 18 innings 5-5 in the ninth and then it was 5-5 in the 18th inning um we basically watched two games

it was a weird game it was like sloppy there were a bunch of like crazy plays people getting thrown out at home on multiple occasions which overshadows the fact that show Hey Otani had one of the best games in the history of the world series two home runs, two doubles.

And then they just kept walking him. They were just like, we're just going to walk this motherfucker from now on. And so he got on base nine times. Yeah. I mean, he was in the number of times, like the intentional walk isn't as common as it used to be. Yeah. And like certainly for him to get, what he got on base nine times. Like no one's.

Nine times. No one will ever come close to that record, A, because this game went 18 innings. but also no one is striking this kind of fear into pitchers like Shohay Otani. Like even Barry Bonds never took more than three in a postseason game. It sucks because he will not get another hit for the rest of this World Series. Because he, so for the first part of the game, he became the first player since 1906 to record four extra base hits in a World Series game. Again, two home runs, two doubles.

It was just like every time he got up, you know some shit was about. about to go down. Yeah. Which does not happen in baseball. Like it never, that's not how baseball works. Like you go, you watch the best player in the league and you're like, they're going to strike out every like once every three times. This was like to your point too about seeing like Jordan or so like there are these certain

athletes who are like, I'm going to, I can, I think I can expect to see something mind blow. I think that, that can be my expectation because at home, at home, show hey is a completely different monster. His last eight at Bats at Dodger Stadium were home run, walk, home run, home run, double, home run, double, home run. Yeah, yeah. I was getting the kids out of bed every time he got up, you know, we were just like. Hey, wake the fuck up.

And he delivered every time. Like, normally my kids are bored by sports, but this is the rare thing where you can be like, no, shit's about to be fucking crazy. Yeah, yeah. Anyways, the Dodgers ended up winning Freddie Freeman, Mr. Clutch. Mr. Walkoff. Mr. Multiple walkoffs in the World Series. Yeah. I didn't realize that the longest game ever was 33.

Part of me was like, this, what the fuck's going on here? Because it was getting to the point where. It seems impossible that they're still playing baseball right now. Yeah. And it is not nearly the longest. The longest in the history of baseball. So it tied for the most innings in a World Series game, but the longest in the history of baseball went 33 innings.

At the bottom of the 32nd inning, Potucket, went down in order, you know, one, two, three, ending as the sun began to rise. And the PA announcer was like, uh, this game has now been suspended the fuck out of here. Oh shit. I love it. O'S Hucket versus Rochester.

Who could forget, man? Yeah. Triple A game for the fucking, for the history books. But yeah, I'm, I'm just so glad. The game got so stressful to the point where as it went longer, the stakes actually became higher. Yeah. Because to go that, deep into a game into that many extra innings to lose it at that point is like such a psychological

blow yeah to the point where like we were talking before i'm like i don't know if i want this game to just end and i don't care who wins just so i can fucking move on with my life right now that's the deal i made with myself when i went to i was just like that's what we'll whatever happens fine yeah yeah yeah and i just kept waking up every hour and checking the score but yeah i mean to waste a show hey otani game like that would have been pretty psychologically damaging for the Dodgers so um the offense was knock at it today yep um so we'll see white fans uh all right those are some of the things that are trending on this tuesday october 28th we're back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show yep until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves

get your vaccines while you still can get your pets vaccinated uh while you still can uh don't do nothing about white supremacy and uh we will talk to you all tomorrow bye Bye.
