This episode's title is courtesy of Johnny Davis. episode's title is courtesy of johnny davis um and hey miles let's tell everybody what's trending let's tell them tell them bitcoin is trending because of this amazing deal that barack obama just told me about that and joe biden don't forget that and joe biden and uber cash yeah yeah all the people all my uh financial analysts uh all my friends yeah uh no so there was a a bunch of uh elon musk a lot of people uh who have millions and millions of followers uh very respected all got hacked at the same time uh and tweeted out this uh bitcoin recommendation that it was this scam though being like i'm giving back to the and tweeted out this Bitcoin recommendation. But it was this scam though being like,

I'm giving back to the community. All Bitcoin sent to the address below will be sent back doubled. If you send 1,000, I send back 2,000. Only doing this for 30 minutes. You know a couple people fell for it. They always do. Especially if it came out of a blue check instagram account um so i'm curious to know how many people lost a little bit of money but i don't hopefully i think but to most people who are savvy in internet speak you go okay this is a fucking scam yeah that's uh it's so simple uh i i'm just glad I wasn't paying attention to Twitter when it hit

because that sounds like it's right up my alley, man. I mean, it's a good deal. Hold on, hold on. They'll double it? So what? I'm no math whiz, but... But look, think about this. If we put $200,000 in, we're going to get back $400,000.

I mean, it makes more sense to give more because then you get more. Okay? Wow. Hold on. I got to go get a cashier's check for Bitcoin. I mean, you'd be an idiot not to do that. back 400 000 i mean it makes more sense to give more because then you get more okay wow hold on i gotta i gotta go i mean you'd be an idiot not to do that um bitcoin this this money here sir um is bitcoin insurable like well the people who uh lost their bitcoin on that would they that's like why that guy who had that one hard drive that had like supposedly millions of dollars the fool was s o l shit out of luck yep all right walmart is trending uh traders yeah they not because they kill small business across the land

just traders because they're making all the cash they're making people wear masks jack can you believe it not fair not not right not cool uh it's my constitutional right to shop here without a face covering it is is that in the i'm sorry it is can you show me in the constitution where it's specifically talking about walmart i've talked i've talked to my lawyer and uh so have you talked to my lawyer because if not then you gotta let me in i'll tell you this though i'll have a goon waiting for your lawyer if they try to serve me with papers at my door i'll tell you that much and if you don't know who a goon is you need to learn up on your orishas the um there's so many videos that of they're so entertaining of people just insisting that it's their constitutional right to not wear masks at the dentist's office. Yeah.

Did you see that video? Yeah, that one was great. So are we just going to get this done and you're going to clean my teeth or what? Yeah, I think or what? Fool, get the fuck out of here. Just stop breathing in my face. They act like they want to clean her teeth, too. Right.

Like, when you say, or what? Like, they don't get anything out of it. All they get is the possibility of being sick with you having you around. That's it. They are not counting on your, you know, teeth cleaning fee. Also, is there part of, like, some, like like q conspiracy theory or something that thinks that the masks make you sick like why why are they so insistent that they refuse to wear masks i mean is it just on principle you could you could say many things right uh you know because i i saw i

saw that woman testify in miami and she said oh six feet military standard so uh we can be indoctrinated with military uh ideologies already so we can i don't know uh i know there are people they do say the carbon monoxide thing there are a lot of people who are like you know how bad it is to breathe that in uh so i you know i think at the end of the day if you believe in something like there is like this all-seeing eye sauron who's pulling all the levers that makes everyone do anything then to see people wear masks so quickly if your worldview is that that's like based off of a conspiracy to like disenfranchise like the true patriots then you see that as a function of this larger thing more than being kind and empathetic

and saying it's not just about myself. Yeah. But what do I know? The mass have communism, I think is the answer. Someone did say that, too. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. That was a talk radio DJ who who's in new hampshire who

lost her job um oh really yeah she was saying something about that because she decided to like harass a group of people uh when they said they weren't speaking english which is like the other fun thing that uh like patriots do uh shitty white people i mean uh they say oh you speak english even though they're like and you're with the government you need to speak there was like a private contracting company and then she just went off on them and also just you know America has no official language so you know take that one

take that one down to wherever you need to take that um Megan wait but then she said that masks have communism in them yeah cause she's like oh this is communism look what it is now it's communism yeah yeah i mean she's not wrong man not wrong uh megan the stallion is trending i wrote it as megan the stallion but uh she is the one and only stallion uh so she this is a very confusing story um so there was an incident over the weekend

she was with the repertory lanes he was arrested on a gun charge there's footage of her being arrested by the la pd or at least cuffed but then I guess she wasn't arrested and then was taken to the hospital where she had bullets removed from her leg or bullet removed from her leg and the police said they weren't aware she had been shot who shot her

I don't know what were the circumstances I think we know from what other what I've read they were at and this is already like pains what i've read they were at and this is already like pains me to say this they were at kylie jenner's pool party tight uh leaving there which already i'm like i i just got so hung up on the idea of kylie jenner's pool party in the midst of like this like the world being in free fall and like the i can only imagine the cocoon of like not talking about anything real that goes on at kylie jenner's pool party because like the more

i see like photos of like celebrities right now like just doing like their thing i'm like damn like we're really seeing the part where people are using their like wealth to jettison their connection to reality and be like no you know what like let's just let's just focus on our vibes for now let's just focus on that but yeah this whole thing uh they were leaving the party i think the reason the police were there is because they were responding to reports of gunshots god and then this other thing rang out so you know i think there's no narrative aside from there was someone trying to get at her and tori possibly and that's where she's gonna leave it that's scary this year is so weird i mean every day it's some new every day it's some weird it gets weirder and stranger and darker and more uh you know just hold tight

let's hold tight maybe it'll it'll pass but then like then you read a play there's like that earthquake thing was trending the other day, and I'm like, yeah, that would be some 2020 shit. Yeah, for sure. Chrissy Teigen is trending. She blocked a million followers on Twitter. Wait, whoa. So she is being targeted by some so there are some rumors that she and john legend were on

the flight logs for the lolita express but the those have been debunked um it's just such a strange time uh as we talk about in tomorrow's episode because they're first of all, there is so much human trafficking and underage sex trafficking going on that I think everybody's antennas are up. And rightly so. But then because the internet is what it is, it's just getting focused on who various people have have problems with, I think. Yeah. Well, I mean, like any conspiracy theory, it's it there's always the allure to explain your lack of power, lack of access to things. Right. Like with the Q thing and the trafficking and the amount of like people who are powerful that have been linked to jeffrey epstein it's like that it's like yeah okay so anybody with power now it's it's feasible in like the way i view the world that that means they are in orbit of all of this but in a way like but then there's like levels to

that too like to the point i'm saying like when you look at the like the idea of what kylie jenner is having a pool party right now uh or may have was or whatever that any like that things like this are going on too normal people would be like they live in a different world where like the the world's like stresses do not affect them and i'm sure you can take that a million ways if uh especially with something like this people are really people have had it out for Chrissy for a minute why is that?

other than she's open she's outspoken she speaks her mind but then there's I think like anything there's going gonna be some outrage lightning rod du jour

and you know she's pretty consistent at being that person yeah I'm sure not a small amount of people just wanting to see her knocked down off a pedestal because she seems like she's

very funny she's very funny. She's incredibly beautiful. Her family's beautiful. There's a lot. Her husband's beautiful. Her husband is beautiful. His last name is Legend. Probably cooks her favorite meal

in the day. You know what? Fuck her, okay? With a perfect life. I'm over here eating Pez for dinner. Yeah, Pez. Shout out to the Pez dispenser. Parenting 101.
