Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Best Trends Forever. Aww. Aww. I'm Jack, that's Miles. This is What's Trending? Hashtag dogs forbidden. What's going

on? Why? Why aren't we allowing dogs on the internet? I think I put an extra B in there. It's actually supposed to be dogs for Biden. For Joe Biden. And then there's also dogs with the number four Biden that's trending on Twitter because no human would willingly show their face and say that they are voting for Joe Biden. They're using their animals who are passive and say that these dogs are for Joe Biden. I don't know.

It's just people, it's doggo content on Twitter. Doggo. So cool. Hey, dogs forbidden, huh? Now, dogs forbidden, you don't want to go on that hashtag. That's right. It's about a really shitty park where dogs cannot frolic. And you just, you hate to see it

yeah uh yeah i have my this friend of mine amy cooper who uh was talking about how they there's this one park where they won't all right uh it sucks oh. Science is trending? Why is science trending? I hate that stuff. Well, this is right up your alley. Kayleigh McEnany, the liar, what is that, the secretary of lies or press secretary, has been just saying this hot line, this hot take, essentially that boils down to her saying that science won't stand in the way of schools opening. Oh, what is that even mean? Like, I mean, I know what that means, but how could you say that and then expect somebody to say like, oh, that's safe.

That's we were talking on tomorrow's episode about how Pence was saying he's not going to let the CDC or he they don't want the cdc to uh prevent schools from opening it's yeah i mean it's just so backwards that i feel like they could really use people keep referencing 1984 but like they're just they they don't have the sophistication to use like tricky language so it's just they're just saying things that are on the surface nonsensical like we don't want to let science stand in the way of um they also had that cool let's not do that though they also had that cool display that they did on the south lawn with the pickup trucks about regulation you see that that was i mean that's how you that's how we're just visual

learners you know turning turning the the presidency into a infomercial um i mean between that and goya i mean everybody's getting a little bit of shine commercially yeah the goya thing seems so it's again it's like so it should it shouldn't be legal um for yeah unfortunately it's just against uh regulations or it's a vile it's an ethics violation which what's the point if nothing fucking happens like really but he he's basically trading a endorsement for an advertisement in like the picture of him sitting there with the Goya cans and products smiling looks like it

was photoshopped like that can't that seems impossible what's sort of like his aesthetic it's like ethnic food I will pose with it don't forget that amazing tostada salad bowls at Trump tower that he loved famously in the build-up to the election was like i love it i love my hispanics and latinos

and i love a fried tortilla bowl the icon uh birkin bag is trending these are uh expensive bags um oh you. We know about that. We've heard about these things. These Herms Birkin bags. These darn Herms Birkins. Yeah, Hermes Birkin bag. Look, the wait list is like 700 years long, and it's like these things range in the thousands

to fucking like a luxury automobile level prices uh to attain a bag and this is trending because offset from migos gave culture his daughter with a cardi b an eight thousand dollar birkin bag for uh his daughter's second birthday for her 24 months on earth birthday uh this is an eight thousand dollar handbag that was like pink and very uh you know cool but is it so funny because her reaction to it is like a true two-year-old because this child doesn't know that it's an exclusive birkin bag and her drip is making people sicker than the plague uh it's just she like sees it and she just throws it back in the box it's like yo these guys want toys well what the fuck you think two-year-olds love to destroy things

they like that that is what they like doing they like ripping shit up they like and so the fact that this bag is uh so valuable that you really wouldn't want it to be destroyed, or probably too sturdy to be destroyed, makes it not a good gift for a two-year-old. Yeah. It feels like when you buy your two-year-old an $8,000 bag for their birthday, it's like in certain video games where you can accumulate wealth, you literally don't know how to spend it anymore. And you're like, fine, I guess I'll just buy every single accessory for my character. I'm not gonna use it but i have this they don't care it is what it is and the child i feel bad you know because a fucking tennis ball may have been more exciting than fucking eight thousand dollars and they're not dogs but two-year-olds are not super uh sophisticated um famously famously not the most sophisticated of humans oh i mean

my kid my kid my fucking 18 month old didn't like his audemars piaget wristwatch i got unbelievable it's a fucking 40 000 watch you freaking scumbag it's so funny because there are like so you really have to get into kid mind to like wrap your head around the things that are going to impress and delight them. And kid mind, like there are times when I have my kids alone for the weekend because my wife is out of town. And when she gets back or like I start work,

I can't communicate with adults because my brain is so like, just switch gears. Yeah. It's like in a different gear. Um, and then, but this is like the greatest like divide between like person who has never gotten down to that level and been like,

Oh yeah, this doesn't, this does not matter at all. Yeah. Um, stop with the flex gifts for your kids we get it it's for your own ego because you said look i got my two-year-old eight thousand dollar birkin bag we get it kids like a 50 cent pinwheel pinwheels are really big with them uh oh is that that and bubbles uh when you when you have a two-year-old um jake paul is trending uh which is always good news in my book because this man's

cultural contributions uh can't be overstated no i mean he's just he did like this sick as shit dude this full through a fucking sick ass party in calabasas dude on saturday bro like massive party there was a dude the video i saw was ridiculous it's just it was stupid um and there was like a fucking full-on excavator, like a back, you know, like a fucking excavator, like a construction hardware there. It was a mess. And yeah, I think we have a long way to go

to inform people that like they have to do, you know, more than just, I guess, resume regularly scheduled programming. Speak of the devil, my two-year-old just entered the studio. Oh, yeah, ask him what's his favorite kind of Rolex. Presidential? Day and date? This is what he's up to, jumping on a trampoline now.

Oh, man, I love it. I love it. Yeah, so, I mean, look, the Jake Paul thing, it's very on- for him which is called which means not reading the room just doing whatever the fuck you want to because you know because youtube made you famous and you have no connection to reality anymore wait why did they have a backhoe what was the point of that i don't know i just saw in this video there is a straight up yellow big ass yellow excavator and i'm like what is this is it a fucking prop like or people are like hanging from it um yeah i mean that does look like a sick thing to do to have at your party uh at a time

uh when you shouldn't be having parties maybe i mean when people are just you know milly rocking in a bedroom or like a big ass living room and playing beer pong i mean look can't deny these images shit looks sick as fuck bruh uh but total failure of uh this is i gotta know what is i don't know where the fuck are we yeah fuck celebrities all right guys that is gonna do it for this thursday afternoon uh we hope you guys are uh good be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Wash your hands. Stay safe and don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll be back tomorrow
