Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of The Last Air Trendr. us. It's out of this world. of mine who was telling people that he was getting into airbending like seriously yeah um he wasn't he was just but he was making trippy vine videos oh he wasn't no but he was like i don't know i think he i think he maybe thought he was airbending shout out to everyone who's airbending um let's talk about what's trending oh yeah that's what this is about uh Nashville tornado, first of all, trending. Yeah.

Really just a horrifying storm. Yeah. At least 22 people died. Did it happen in the middle of the night? Yeah, it did happen overnight. Just, yeah, people were, there's fatalities. A lot of buildings were leveled. And, yeah, just awful, awful stuff.

Yeah, and they're talking about how this is reminiscent of a tornado that destroyed a bunch of East Nashville and then led to a hipster evolution in that neighborhood because a bunch of when you have to rebuild a neighborhood it becomes infested with hipsters um so you got to watch out for that uh but yeah that's what we call that gentrifying oh yeah yeah yeah whatever it is whatever it is but yeah man that's the thing we're We have like tornado privilege out here. Oh, yeah. And I only grew up fearing the earth splitting open and consuming me, which to some other people is way more scary. But I remember the first time I heard a tornado siren go off when I was in Missouri or something. I shit my pants. The skies in the Midwest and South are like if you didn't grow up there, you are shocked to see

like how, like I, I once, when we lived in Missouri, just looked up and it looked like the sky at the end of Ghostbusters where the whole thing is like swirling around. It was just turning over like the entire city and it was super low. The, the thunderstorms are so violent. Yeah. I don't think it compares. I mean, I, I haven't experienced a really bad earthquake,

uh, in my life. So, but it just seems so it's so frequent and there's just always a underlying feeling that anything could happen on a, on a stormy day in the Midwest. Um, so yeah,

shout out to the people in Nashville. You know, COVID-19, coronavirus is trending. Coronavirus, Georgia and California are trending. We talk about this at length in tomorrow morning's ep about just sort of the physics of the virus, how it gets into your body. And the lack of education around it. Yeah, the mainstream media is just kind of just the way they're covering it,

some very obvious things that it seems like they should be covering there. And I don't know, again, I don't know if I wasn't looking for it or I just feel like in general, look, if you don't have the infrastructure to properly have enough test kits or know like you have hospital beds or masks, at least every time at the top i'd be like everyone must be washing their hands every people should not be touching their faces if you get it the way you get it is probably going to be from touching your face like that is

touching some shit that with the virus on it then touching your face yes exactly uh but anyways we talk about that at length tomorrow uh no it's coronavirus Georgia and coronavirus California are trending because two cases were identified in Georgia. And it seems like there's going to be more. So where every day it's a couple of new states. Yeah. Where to vote is trending. As you listen to this Super Tuesday, results are probably going to be rolling in. And, you know, we we don't have those quite yet. See if we get the moderate we prayed for.

Oh, man, though, for all the people. Oh, my God. I mean, we'll see what happens. Yeah, I talk about it on tomorrow's episode, but it does feel like this thing is on tracks, like it's moving towards Biden getting it, because even if he has remotely the second amount of delegates, they're going to give it to him because Sanders is too scary for the Democratic Party. No, it all comes down to this. The fact that he's demanding equity for all people means that people who have been hoarding wealth need to actually completely reevaluate how their wealth is accumulated.

And that's what's scary because most people out here do not have a million or billion or even tens of thousands of dollars and are on the brink of not great things happening to them because of the state of our financial institutions. But I know a lot of people who aren't millionaires who are scared just because of the long-term culture of America and bootstrapping and just- The long-term history of America putting down socialist governments. Right. Exactly. That's embedded in the DNA of a lot of people. Which is funny.

Yeah. All the people that they wanted to tell Americans that were scary were people who were like, no, no, no, we want what's fair down here. That's why we don't want to do business with some of these companies. And they're like, okay, here, why don't you send some of your people up here? We have a thing called the School of the Americas. Right. And we will teach you how to basically overthrow a government and torture people. Yep.

Also trending, Warren Jobs and Vote for Bernie are the top two trending things. I mean, it seems like, you know, based on Twitter, you would assume these are the only two candidates. There's such low Biden energy on Twitter, but it's funny because it's mostly younger people. Right. But like, it's like, I don't, I don't think I've seen a single real Biden take unless it was some person quote retweeting another person just to ridicule them. Right. But hey, for most people do not live on Twitter and things like that. So the Biden energy is real in some places.

Yeah, guys, come on. Get Joe Mentum trending on Twitter. Joe Mentum? Oh, Jesus. Oh, fuck. And finally, Sexy Vixen V vinyl is trending for very good reason. Brit Hume, the political analyst for Fox News, tweeted a screen cap that said Joe Biden is the tabs that was open on the page that he screencapped was sexy vixen vinyl.

So just another boomer getting caught with his pants down. Yeah, it says. There's no internet etiquette. It sounds like the first tab is SunTrust Online. Okay, so we know where he banks. Right. Then Access Your Fun something. I think it's getting a little, okay, so something's a little banks. Right. Then Access Your Fun something. I think it's getting a little...

Okay, so something's a little bit more interesting. Then it's Sexy Vixen Vinyl. Then Coronavirus something something. Did they figure out what he was looking at? Yeah, there's some pages where you search it, and it just is, you know... Oh, it's like a nice vinyl... Bondage.

Wow. Who said conservatives don't... Yeah, okay. Nobody would ever... Conservative in the streets. People who don't know conservatives would say that conservatives are, you know, not little freaks. Yeah. A Brit, you a freak. So anyways, those are some of the things that are trending.

obviously we will be back tomorrow to talk more about Super Tuesday and how to avoid dying. Just one thing, though. Kim Hume, he does have a wife. So I'm curious if this is for her, if this is causing friction in the house, either A, because she's like, well, now they know we're into some B bdsm or she's like who the fuck was that for brit right why are you looking at that right maybe or maybe it's for him i don't know do you though brit i mean the fact that is is sexy vixen vinyl a brand no from what i'm seeing too it's a very um specific outfit like there's a there's an outfit called the Sexy Vixen Vinyl... Oh, got it, got it, got it.

Like, it's just the name of... So he was probably shopping. I mean, I do not want to kink-shame anyone. No. But... The only thing I'm shaming is that you know, he left your tabs open. Yeah, bro. And so when that happens, you become fodder for second-rate podcasts like this.

Yeah. Otherwise, like... Yeah, shout-out to him, and hopefully... Shout-out to you, not to politics. Alright, guys. That's going to do it for this afternoon. We'll be back tomorrow. Hope you guys have a blessed Tuesday. Bye.
