Hello and welcome to this definitive edition of Blackout Rage Gowtrend. Electric, or oh wait, Blackout Rage Galtrend. Electric, oh wait, Blackout Rage Galtrend 2, Electric Trendaloo. I know y'all talked about

Borgs before, but I want to talk about Borgs. I want to talk about Borgs, okay? They used to call me Ernest Borg 9, how I would hit nine Borgs in one night. Okay, they don't know about me. But we will get to that a little bit later.

It's me, Miles G, in a place to be with my co-host, B-E-C-C-A. What's good today, Becca? I'm excited to talk about Borgs. I don't get a chance to talk about them. Good, good. We missed out on the Borg discourse. And guess what? I'm pulling up in the Borg, good. We missed out on the Borg discourse. And guess what? I'm pulling up in the Borg cube.

Call me Ice Cube, but Borg cube. But first, we're not talking about that. We'll talk about that later. First, Duncan is the first trend we're going to talk about. They're being sued by a very loyal user who basically is saying, okay, this is a Boston resident. This is like the most Boston shit ever. This dude who lives in Boston, he's suing Dunkin', he's suing

the Dunkees, claiming that its mobile app is, quote, adding undisclosed charges for add-ons, like butter and cream cheese. So, for example, his order for an iced coffee, which cost $3.69, and an everything bagel with cream cheese, $3.09, came

to $8.03 before tax. Now, I can do some quick maths. and 69 cents and an everything bagel with cream cheese three dollars and nine cents came to 803 before tax now i can do some quick maths and that is not that's not 3.69 and 3.09 does not make that so he was being charged a dollar 25 more than he should have been and what makes this thing even more confusing apparently is that some locations don't add like tack on extra charges for things like this so this man is like look man this is bullshit uh he is seeking a whopping 25 dollars in damages plus legal fees because he's just saying look man i'm not i'm not trying to be an asshole but like i just want my cream cheese and butter charges back. He's like, I shop enough at Dunkin' that I want to use my

$25 to get more Dunkin'. But don't take away my dollars that I'm going to already spend at the Dunkin'. I'm going to give them back to you. You might as well just settle. I'm not joking. I'm going to give it all right back to you. I just don't want to do it in fees. I just want to get my appropriate Dunkin'. What's funny, too, is the lawsuit does

acknowledge that the plaintiff is still using the app despite everything that's going on because... He's like, I still gotta get my points. He wants his motherfucking points. That is honestly, like, you should hire that person because it sounds like they love the brand so much. Like,

I'm not gonna abandon y'all. They're like, I will get ripped off. I'm gonna say so much. Like, I'm not going to abandon y'all. They're like, I will get ripped off. I'm going to say something about it, but I'm still going to get ripped off because I am a loyal customer. Yeah. And apparently this has also been happening with like the McDonald's app. So whatever. I mean, I think it happens to a lot of fast food or really apps in general. I go to a local, I was about to say burger, and that's not correct uh bagel spot uh down the

street and if you order not off the app but if you order off of like um i don't know whatever google tells you like if you go to google maps and you click the link to order for pickup it'll do a bunch of add-ons that if i were to just like order at the window with the same add-ons it wouldn't cost as much so it is i think just like a weird issue that a lot of apps have when ordering food for pickup online oh yeah stupid yeah look everyone's got to do what they got to do uh ike perlmutter is trending uh and if you don't know who ike perlmutter is he is the you know the racist woman hating head of marvel entertainment uh who was famously brokered the deal for the four billion dollar sale of marvel to disney um but today it turns out he got got by bob eicher's

cost cutting measures because while they're cutting 7 000 jobs apparently he is one of them this man uh this 80 year old pearl mutter confirmed on wednesday that yeah he's yeah he uh he's out of here one blessing from disney layoffs what's wild is this guy is such a documented weirdo slash piece of trash that you're like what why are y'all rocking with this guy for so long so this is just a few of the things that our writer jam pointed out um first up i didn't know he was accused of bribing cops to renew his gun license with like movie premiere tickets uh okay he was also part of a quote bizarre legal drama at this like palm beach residential community he lived at because old um he would he was accused

of sending out like anonymous hate mail to another resident who i think was also like a billionaire and then sued that guy and claimed that he tried to quote harvest his dna to frame him for the letters um oh okay but is it i get it's like how would you frame them? If really, if you're harvesting the DNA more to prove, right? Because it's like, you probably like the envelope. If you're good at like frivolous lawsuits to try and jam someone up, you're just trying to like portray what they're doing as something fucked up. Where they're like, actually, no, what he's doing is trying to frame me for the letters I wrote. Loki.

But that'll come out later on. Also, obviously, he's a huge trump supporter and was part of like this group of mar-a-lago dudes who would basically were trump's advisors on fucking veterans issues sounds all right yeah was this man a veteran i have no idea i don't think so doesn't sound like it yeah no he was not we uh confirmed no he has never served in the U.S. military. But he knows about Iron Man and how Iron Man and War Machine could fuck up a lot of people in the military. So, President Trump, you should listen to me. He said, Captain America, our soldier. Yeah.

We will not turn our back on him. Yeah. And again, I think more importantly, like, again, he's a sexist, racist trash bag who basically kept Marvel from making movies, starring superheroes who were women or people of color. Yeah. So, I mean, obviously, I don't know if all of the blame lies with Perlmutter, but he literally told the consumer products division that this is going to get brace yourself for some intense racism. All black people look the same when Don Cheadle replaced Terrence Howard and that three black female executives quit the division quote after complaining about Pearl Mudder. That is such a crazy statement. Yeah. And all they did,

they did that shit. Like what the church does when like one of these priests is like out here, like violating people, like they just put them in another division. Oh, of course. And then, I mean,

that's so many different things, right? Like, yeah, we can't fire them. Just put them in another division oh of course and then i mean that's so many different things right yeah like yeah we can't fire them just put them in like they basically said here you're in this like smaller division where you basically can't get in the way of making movies anymore uh but it's also like come on disney what the fuck like if you know all this whatever why am i being like come on massive media corporation do better and then before we take a break tennessee governor bill lee is trending because he shared this like pre-recorded video where he talks about how he knew two of the victims of the school shooting that took place earlier this week. In fact, the principal and the substitute who were killed have been friends of theirs for decades apparently and his wife worked with them like in education and the wife was supposed to meet the principal for dinner that night and then so he he has like this video talking about oh it's so heartbreaking we knew these

people not one fucking mention of gun control i was gonna say it's like it's so upsetting that it's like you can personally know victims and still be so ruled by your pocket book that you don't want to make a change like that is so abhorrent like it makes my stomach churn you just sold out two people who lost their lives needlessly like you've sold them out for your own like you shouldn't have to know them to have empathy for them and make change but the fact that you did and you still don't have enough empathy to make change or if you're gonna evoke their memory yeah or invoke their memory then you have to like at least you'd think okay logically he could be like hey how y'all gonna get mad at

me on this one i think you gotta do something now like i knew them okay i was fucking around before because i never really came to my doorstep now Now it has. My fucking values have changed. But still, he's like, is that an NRA check in? Okay. Yeah. Am I still getting that other gun lobby one? Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So that's a tragedy what happened. And we will do something. We will hold a vigil. Yeah. Like, golly, as my grandfather used to say. All right.

Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. used to say. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. What you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?

You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

This show is la plática like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities.

This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience.

Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon.

Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita,

followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So, all of these things. We thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Howard Schultz is trending because he is basically some American cheese between two pieces of Wonder Bread

because he is getting grilled cheese the fuck out on Capitol Hill. Although I don't know where it goes in terms of laws and things like that. However, Bernie Sanders is getting in his shit over his, you know, very, very aggressive union busting. We've talked about Howard Schultz before on this show. The attempts he's made to discourage people from joining unions, his own union busting in the past, or even like that time he tried to evoke the Holocaust as a reason to not unionize. And it was very, very misguided.

I mean, the way stores are just shutting down, Starbucks are just shutting down, you know, for a reason, because really they had started a union and they're like, oh, well, we're not getting enough sales here. Exactly. So I just want to hear, because this is very interesting.

Bernie's asking Howard Schultz, he's like, you know, about your union busting. And he's never he's not actually quite copping to the fact that he's not denying the fact that he's a union busting ass, dude. But he's like, come on, man, let's listen to this short exchange. Have you ever threatened, coerced or intimidated a worker for supporting a union? I've had conversations that could have been interpreted in a different way than I intended. That's up to the person who received the information that I spoke to him about. Were you informed of or involved in the decision to withhold benefits from Starbucks workers in unionized stores, including higher pay and faster sick time accrual.

My understanding, when we created the benefits in May, All right, see, he's already turning to a big cat. It's a yes or no question. Yeah, so this is that snaky language people got to use when they know that they've been had here and or rather they're up against it. And they know, have I done that? Well, I've spoken to people that maybe took that as that. But that's on them.

Really? If I'm like, don't do it. If I go like this, I don't think that's a good idea. Or obviously he's probably just lying straight up and he's like yeah man we're gonna yeah we're uh don't join the union it will if you can't say no then the answer is yes you know like if it's not a hard no then you absolutely have intimidated people like yeah it should be pretty black and white like do they lose benefits or not you know right do they get their hours cut or not we'll see where this goes but yeah i mean it's it's it's just really interesting about

that just it's so aggressive like what it's just really interesting about that. Just, it's so aggressive, like what this company has done. And so many companies are doing now. Um, and like the basically slow speed at which it takes to like actually have protections for workers. Um,

but you know what? Strike on because it definitely affects their business model. And, uh, yeah, do it. You know, we gotta,

we gotta stick together especially when we're just trying to get our fair piece uh next up jennifer aniston she's uh she's doing the this thing that we hear all the time saying friends is now deemed quote offensive by a whole generation of kids she goes on on the she goes on to say in the past you could joke about a bigot and have a laugh it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were now we're not allowed to do that i don't think look i've seen a i've seen a little bit of friends and i've the times i've seen the transphobic shit around chandler's uh like mother uh literally i was like full commentary this ain't having a laugh at a bigot y'all are laughing

at the mother y'all are the bigots where's the laugh well we're but see that's what they they knew you know we were just all making cracking jokes about it because we're bigots oh maybe it would be better she's like i mean we were all bigots on the show yeah so it's like it's like so are you admitting that your character was a bigot? Like, I don't know. I'm just like, come on. I love how. Has so much like, there's like all the fat phobia with Monica, you know,

in her past life. There's also like the commentary on like body dysmorphia with Jennifer Aniston's like nose job in the show, because like she had a very traditional Jewish nose. Yeah. Rachel Green. Yeah. Pre nose job,

Rachel Green. Yeah. There's obviously the transphobia with Chandler and just general like queer phobia with Chandler's mom. There's like clearly the just like blatant racism. Yeah. As super producer, Brian put in the chat,

there's literally no people of color on the show. There was like rock sex girlfriend who they treated horribly. She deserves so much better. Oh, the Aisha Tyler. When I was playing the, yeah, I remember that like the queer phobia or like the lesbian phobia of um making a joke out of ross's uh baby mama and her wife you know they pin them as like these evil lesbians right right right like yeah yeah brian's like no people of color in New York What New York is that? Is this a fucking

Not even pre-white people Come on what are we doing Especially like Manhattan It's just like so crazy It's like they weren't living in the Upper West Side I mean look I get it Jennifer you know What the heck is going on

Kids are aware that Everything's so woke. Everyone's values are adapting to a world that's trying to be more inclusive and humane so you don't have to put people through the fucking traumatic shit of joking about their existence. But okay.

This shit isn't on Peacock or whatever the fuck streaming service. It's not like y'all just had a fucking huge reunion special. It's like y'all got so much money. it's not like y'all just had a fucking huge like reunion special like it's like y'all got so much enough people bang with y'all don't worry like can you just sit back be quiet enjoy your money and go away like no one's asking for your social commentary on if your show was woke or not like it's smarter for you to be silent than for you to say anything because you're gonna say the wrong thing obviously as you already have like you created the spin-off basically that you know of how i met your mother like it is such an emulation of like

friends and like that show which is really which is really living single you know all praise to the og friends so like yeah well yeah i look it's it's funny when all these like i i think for them they just they have such a hard time thinking that something that they engaged in with such joy and like purity maybe from their perspective could be seen as offensive now but yeah you know what that's how a lot of vaudeville acts look now too you know what it is that's just at the time people were that's how people were cooking yeah it's like obviously it's a product of its time we're like not blaming you for being so problematic like you are you know a cog in the machine that is the whole spectrum of making a show right the writer's room showrunners like there's so many people it's not just on the cast of friends to be the wokest of woke people

to be fighting on the front lines of being like, I want to date more people of color. Right, right, right. Let's bring them in. I know. I mean, I think also, like, you can also read, like, their talent on themselves. Like, that's us. And that's big. Yeah.

You're like, oh, okay. Whatever. Jennifer, you know, just count your money, you know? Yeah. Be quiet. Why don't you want to fucking i mean i get it it's probably addictive if you're like in the limelight that much but shit if you had fuck you money forever forever i'd be like fuck all this bro you're not gonna see me i'm gonna be like laying down permanently for the rest of my life in the sun do an interview again i'd be like

i would be i'm saying i would be in the sun all day. All day. Going in the water. You know what I mean? Get my hair transplant. Turn it into dreadlocks. You know, she put her sunscreen on. Yeah.

And then finally, guess what? The Borg cube has arrived. I am Miles Cuttis of Borg. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service us. Because we hitting them Borgs. So I know y'all talked about there's Borg discourse going on.

I missed the Borg discourse. And I'm sure y'all have heard this again because you're going to hear it again. But if you don't know, Borgs are blackout rage gallons that are all the rage with Gen Z right now. With the childrens. Yeah, with the childrens. It's what the childrens are sipping on now. Again, this is just their way to binge drink. But when I saw this, I was like, I just saw, caught a couple videos, was watching the excitement around Borgs.

watching the excitement around borgs and i just love this idea of you taking a half gallon of water putting like emptying a fucking fifth of liquor into it and then adding like mu and an electrolyte package and you're like and this is the shit that we fucking party with um i don't know like part of me i think i love the idea that because a lot of them they swear it prevents hangovers which i'm like which i'm like bullshit like they're like the alcohol to water ratio cures you and i'm like no there's more there's no water it's like you're still processing all that alcohol uh but absolutely and you know depending on what kind of alcohol you get there's no helping you um also y'all are nine years old you're not gonna get hangovers okay it's not the same call me when you fucking 38 and you hit a borg and then you fucking the cps is

taking your whole your whole family away okay because your hangover is so fucking bad uh but yeah i just seeing this like it just reminded me of the things like it's just interesting to see the evolution because for me the first thing we did i didn't do power hours but you know that was like a lot of things a lot of like why kids are in like my high school yeah but the first one i did was edward 40 hands because that shit is a classic it's so stupid to take 40s to your hands and have to fucking power through them also caused a lot of problems uh and then you know there's jungle juice too and then i've moved on to space bags you know i was doing space bags for a while you know when you're talking games

you got the wizard sword what's wizard sword oh it's when you would um drink beers like hands and then you tape them together yeah and then you have to like fight people yeah we we missed that uh we missed that one. Because we just got, yeah, I was on space bags just taking the bladder out of box wine and just fucking hitting that. I used to bring jugs of Carlo Rossi sangria to like house parties. Just because, and in a way, that was my early Borg.

Because I would get the one gallon Carlo Rossi jug. Because in my mind, I was like, this looks stupid as fuck to pull up with a gallon jug of fucking wine to a party so in a way the Borg resonates with me but the magical powers of the Borg I'm like come on now

bring their own handles to parties that's scary well if you brought a handle hopefully you're like spreading the wealth you know there's some redistribution not to recant my own college story not me but you know maybe when i knew some people would bring their own handle fireball because all of us hated it we're like and they would chug the fireball like they would go from house to house being like

i mean like drink the fireball and like making people take shots of the fireball and all of us are like none of us want this fireball god God, fireball. They are married to their handle of firewall. I don't like when people like, I know people who like love Southern comfort. And I'm like, how can you drink that? How? Like in the way you're talking about, they're like, Soko, what's up? Have some Soko. I'm like, get the fuck away from me with that shit.

That shit used to, oh my God. One of the worst hangovers I ever had was from hanging with one of these soco fucking evangelists and it nearly caused a terrible terrible condition what's wild though too is like i didn't realize like at umass there was like like a mass event of like 17 like like numerous kids having to go to the hospital for alcohol poisoning i think shows you that you know yeah because they're so smart and, you know. Because of the Borgs? Yeah. Because they Borg-ed it up. I think they're so smart. And I mean, I would say that the Borg is smart in the sense of not getting roofied.

You know, like we were going to parties, you know, at least when I was in college. Yeah, I was drinking out of a garbage can. Yeah, you're literally like doing the beer pong and you're drinking the beer from the cans as the balls have fallen into them. Like we weren't putting water. You know, we were drinking

the remember do you remember when the first time you saw someone be like nah just have the beer on the side don't why are you it was literally after i was like oh same and i remember being like that ain't how you play and they're like but it's so dirty and i was like yeah touche you're not drinking enough beer that way yeah right exactly so there's that uh-huh you know the jungle juice was scary you didn't know who made it where it came from very easy to get roofied so i do support the borg in not getting roofied oh i'm not knocking the borg at all you know i'm just i am knocking the borg out of the alcohol poison because they think they're smarter than us and it's like, you know what? And it's like, you gotta know your limit. You gotta know.

You gotta be careful. Just like with the actual Borg from Star Trek, strength is irrelevant. Resistance is futile, to quote the Borg. I, honestly, I'm like jealous that the Borg existed

because I remember the big drinks when I was in college was A, the scary handle of fireballs someone would bring around. Mm-hmm. B, Malibu and Coke, you know?

Oh, that big plastic Malibu handle? Uh-huh. Oh, when you do the violent Cuba Libre where you ditch half the two liter? Yep, yep, yep, yep. And then very specifically, oh, in Texas. Actually, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call a Malibu and Coke

an actual Cuba Libre. That's rib that's because that's that's a violation forgive me forgive me like evoking yeah i know but you know for real people they're gonna be like no don't don't say malibu is the kind of fucking wrong that's going in there that's the wrong answer the tennessee honey whiskey and dr pepper a central texas staple wow see i tennessee honey came out after college for me and i remember it's too sweet that i was like it just was i was like no i don't need sweet anymore i'm like i'm just sip lean because i don't need to drink a 20 ounce bottle and then don't worry about me just check if i'm

breathing it was truly like oh like that was like my first like college alcohol experience was a tennessee honey whiskey and the dr pepper i was like oh i can't taste it and i was like this is dangerous yeah oh absolutely oh if you put in the dr pepper it's just like that's i get that like especially when you're in college too like when you don't quite have the requisite darkness in your soul to drink liquor straight it's more about how can i get really fucked up in a way that doesn't make me go yeah exactly exactly and then i don't feel it i'm like just like vibing and you were saying the kids are naming their borgs too like with punny names miles i have a little um a bee told me who's in college right now that they uh name their borgs and that in naming the borgs

uh it can either be themed like based on the party you're going to or whatever, but it's like a fun way to identify your Borg is to name it. And these are some fun names I pulled from we're adulting.com is a college blog site because the tabs are home dorm room, a holiday college apartment, sorority, uh, Borg names. So here's some Borg names.

Um, we got Borgasm. Okayorg meets world um soldier borg uh breaking borg bad and borgie la borg james lightning mcborg we are never ever getting borg together captain borgin jason borg borgina oh i like that one that one's for me okay borgina borg who lived to borg or not to borg rick and borgie early borg catches the worm borg to be wild certified lover borg oh wow not missing with that last one but you know what you can i like i said earnest borg nine for y'all who are really come Come on, y'all don't know Ernest Borg 9? That's right there.

Justin B. Borg? Saturdays are for the Borgs. Borgie and Bess. For all my real musical fans out there. Well, anyway, I'm glad we got to talk about Borgs. Shout out to all the Borg drinkers out there. If you got got any cool borg recipes or if you think it's just an absolute i mean look in a way it's good to know that like millennials and gen z are actually drinking like less we've talked we've talked about that in very past episodes like despite all this like across

the board millennials and gen z like are drinking less than you know gen x and the boomers before them uh so borg it up y''all, as safe as you can. But, you know, I'm not here advocating binge drinking, but if I was 19, they'd call me Ernest Borg 9. I'm telling you, and I would try to probably drink nine Borgs to try and get that moniker and then end up somewhere in a bad place. So do not be like me.

Be smart, finish your studies, and then do your prayers every night, like I do. Okay? Becca, thank you for joining me and thank you all for listening. We'll be back tomorrow with a brand new episode. Take care of yourselves. Take care of each other. Be
