And that's still water, folks. Even though I just added this sugar substitute to make it a flavored beverage, it is still water because that's a trend we're going to have to talk about later in the show but first let's talk about the real news and first let's introduce ourselves my name is miles and i'm here with becca how are you becca hello i'm good how are you i'm great

i'm great you good all right okay raising the roof wow you're raising the roof you know we're cooking haven't seen that in a minute um all right let's tell the people what is trending monster energy is trending because this is fucking so stupid apparently the monster energy drink company they're like reportedly threatening legal action against an independent video game company because their game dark deception monsters and Mortals has the fucking word monster in it. Hmm. And I'm like, what? How do you you don't own that?

You don't own that shit? It feels like this is a weird, you know, bone to pick because it feels like over the years a monster energy drink has existed. There have been many things with monsters in it. Mm-hmm. So Ryan makes a good point. The camel's back monster cables like energy drink has existed there have been many things with monsters in it so yeah brian makes a good point the camel's back monster cables like monster cables have been around for a minute the

precursor to beats by dre headphones also the guy who owns that company he like goes around on like a fucking hover around like um like hoverboard thing yeah. Segway. Segway scooter. I saw him at the Jay-Z 444 show in Las Vegas in 2017, I think is when that was. And he was there. I was like, who is this old dude on a fucking Segway going through the fucking T-Mobile center at the Jay-Z show? And, like, it turned out he's the monster cables person. Anyway, so they do believe.

This is, like, something that Monster has done a few times. monster or monster cables person anyway so they do believe this like goes this is like that uh something that monster has done a few times um according though according to the game company they said monster is telling them that they'll let them release the game as long as they quote agree to never name any other game any variation of the word monster and also never use green and white logos on a black background the logo i kind of get but like but you can't just say green and white against a black background then what you're gonna go after the fucking celtics and like any other like green and white thing like let's fuck again so this is apparently something they are doing a lot of uh in the past again they're partially owned by coca-cola

apparently they did this shit to a small ohio restaurant for putting the word monster on a sign okay a fucking restaurant they also uh hit up a georgia welder fucking welder okay you're like fusing metals together and shit for using an m they thought was similar to the one on their logo okay maybe you might have something there but then they also got into another legal spat with some dudes had who had an aquarium hobby forum okay aquarium hobby forum online called monster fish keepers and they've also again they've threatened video game makers in the past too you might know a game called immortals phoenix rising well that game was called gods and monsters originally before uh monster came through and was like yeah you know the title would be too easily confused with our brand. You had to come off that. It's a fucking video game. It's so confusing.

Are you for real? So anyway, it's like a mixture of the weirdest greed and ego combined where you're like, you really think you own that fucking word? Yeah, it's also like, you think your brand share isn't big enough to compete with a

video game that has nothing to do with an energy drink? Mm-hmm. Also, you're going to go after Lady Gaga? Yeah. You're going to go after the whole fandom of little monsters? You're going to do that? Did you go after the... What happened when that album or that song Monster came out?

Did y'all have something to say then, too? Because I'd be too scared to fight them. Yeah. But I'm a little monster. Okay, there you go. Anyway. say then too because i'm scared to fight them yeah but i'm a little monster okay there you go anyway shout out all the people who have to fucking fight this literal monster of an energy drink of a company because they think they own the fucking word monster uh another thing nashville trend to see yesterday trump got a lot of the attention uh especially with the news you know of his fucking indictment and all that but But in Tennessee, more than a thousand students in Nashville staged a walkout,

you know, basically to protest the lack of fucking action on gun control. And they did it exactly at 10, 13 a.m. to mark when a call came from the Covenant School when that shooting happened. And yeah, it was a pretty large scale event. I mean, a lot has been happening in that state, including, you know, state representatives who were trying to protest the lack of action and then them basically voting to expel them it's really fucking bad right now over there and we've talked about the governor bill lee who knew two of the victims personally his wife was going to have they said they were going to have dinner with one of them that night okay yeah and he's done fuck all and still did nothing yeah the only thing he's done

in response is propose 155 million dollars to place an armed security guard at every tennessee public school are y'all fucking kidding me like they're not i as as a daughter of an educator and my brother's also an educator like it just the shit makes me so infuriated because a like literally through time and time again court case after court case like cops and security guards are not legally bound to protect okay like they are like they are for themselves like if they feel too scared they can nope it out of there if they want nope they can nope it out of there no accountability so why the fuck are we gonna put more security in a school that is obviously not gonna do anything i thought we learned that from the texas shooting hey it goes to my buddy who

owns a company of armed security guards and it's a pretty lucrative contract for him he also gave me 250 000 last election cycle look don't ask about it i mean okay that's like we don't have enough joke but who knows shooting examples but so like the last like not the look, don't ask about it. I mean, okay. That's a joke, but who knows? Shooting examples. But like the last, like not the last, I don't even know. There's so many. But, you know, Uvalde, that was like the big issue with the Uvalde shooting is that there were literally cops in the school and they didn't do anything. Like literally there was moms breaking into the school, saving children before the cops did. And cops trying to fight them from going in. Yeah.

It's just just it's heartbreaking it's and excuse me if i've missed this but has president biden said anything about this he did he was like hey man you know it's congress got to do something i've tried to do everything i can with this that and the other i mean look at the end of the day functionally no you know what i mean no yeah um but whatever this is this this is the slow progress in this country i mean really none at all it feels like when it comes to something like yeah i mean throwing children's bodies on the fucking pyre to you know worship the second amendment it's fucking gross yeah my heart goes out to those kids in in tennessee and the families and everyone who

went out to protest you know also side note the governor also hasn't said the word gun publicly since the shooting. Of course not. Because that's how shook this person is. Coward. Absolute melt behavior. And also, I think there was news that there were people that were armed at that school, too. Not shocking at all. It's a school in Tennessee.

Yeah. But again, what, you know,'re in tennessee yeah but again what you know were the arguments for that like and i get that they were probably having to protect like their like students or whatever but that that logic is not fucking sound but whatever they need to do to keep screaming about guns anyway justin long you might remember him he's the apple guy at one point um you know that that was that was like i feel like was that his biggest check like doing that massive apple campaign check yeah he was the apple dell guy for so long and then dell when they try to make their comeback brought him back and bought him off

and he became right right right uh anyway um he's trending and uh becca this, I like when I see these and I go, what the fuck's going on with Justin Long? Is he okay? I put this in because Justin Long went viral on TikTok a while ago for posting this insane caption of his then girlfriend, now fiance, Kate Bosworth. I like how you said that you didn't know who Kate Bosworth was. Well, I almost said her last name wrong. I had to take a beat. Oh, that's not that old. I'm like, we know Kate Bosworth. No, no.'t know who Kate Bosworth was. Well, I almost said her last name wrong. I had to take a beat. Oh, that's how I felt old.

I'm like, we know Kate Bosworth. No, no, I know who Kate Bosworth is. I just wanted to make sure I didn't say it wrong. Okay, so he wrote a caption. He wrote this insanely long caption declaring his love about her and all this stuff. I think it was for her birthday. And people were just like, man, I want a man who loves me the way Justin Long loves Kate Bosworth. Well, another insane caption has come into the mix as he has officially proposed to Kate Bosworth.

And I just, I had to read a little bit of it because it is so long. And honestly, like, I've never seen a celebrity man really praise, you know, the woman in his life the way that Justin Long be praising Kate Bosworth. And I've been a fan of his for a long time. I've loved most of his stuff that he's been in. I think he's just a fun, loving, goofy guy. And I'm happy for him. But this is the caption.

I guess he has a podcast and they talked about it on their most recent episode together. He said, she says yes to being a guest on Life is Short podcast and to the other slightly more life-changing questions winky face my favorite person is now also my favorite guest on my favorite podcast one day the incredibly talented kate bosworth will be on this podcast and talk about her years

of memorable acting performances but on this episode we mostly talk about the events that led up to her agreeing to spend her life with this very, very lucky podcast host. It felt like a leap to talk about something so personal, so publicly. But I found that scary things become much easier when you commit to the truth, dot, dot, dot. And to the partner as loving and safe as Catherine Ann Bosworth. Wow, doctor. We named this podcast Life is Short because it's a dumb pun in parentheses i love puns but also because i liked saying it out loud and hearing this reminder to live each day as fully as possible

i feel eternally grateful that i found a partner who makes each day so full whose mere presence is a reminder of the beauty and brevity of life and who makes me laugh from one minute from the minute i wake up to the one i begrudgingly fall asleep i cherish these days we have had and the ones to come heart ring listen to life is short wherever you listen to podcasts oh shit i yeah i i'm happy for them but i almost vomited i almost vomited by the end of it. I actually did. I vomited a little bit in my mouth. And that's my own cynicism coming out. And I should let them enjoy their life.

Because they do. He's got that vibe where like his life may have been so shitty. And then like she really just got him to like really be invigorated again. Because, yo, low keyki i remember seeing this guy outside of like the ucb theater at times he didn't look too hot you know i mean and he was hitting on the homies and stuff and i get it it's justin long you know you're taking your shot this was like fucking eight years ago seven years ago yeah and at the time i was like i remember being like oh man what the fuck what's going on with this guy not that it was like problematic or anything

but it looked a little bit like it did not have the energy of this like this person was not there from this so i'm very very happy for you that you and katherine and bosworth have found each other and are and then you also turned it into promo for a podcast god damn yeah i mean i guess they talked about their love life on that episode. And honestly, it did get me to want to tune in. I might go listen because I'm like, I wonder what makes him love her so much. Because to me, she is unlovable. Yeah. Yeah, I wonder what it is.

Like she laughs at his jokes or, you know, like I think of like even, you know, her majesty, like the things I appreciate the most or how much she inspired me to make myself better by merely being herself and things like that. You know, and I could I could do a Justin Long type caption, too, right now. But, you know, look, we love the ladies are sick. They're posting. They're showing their boyfriends. This is the inspo.

I need you to talk about me the way Justin Long talks about Kate Bosworth, because that is the love I need to receive. Yeah, I mean, and I feel terrible if you are with, you know, emotionally aloof people who, you know, might not be able to express the depth of their love for you because that is very important.

You know, we're people, we need to hear this stuff. We need to hear it. So shout out to love. Hopefully this doesn't, you know, turn into some weird story down the road. All right, let's take a quick break and we will be right back.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All 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.

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, we have, we think, 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.

Taking better care of yourself is just a click away.

soul. Taking better care of yourself is just a click away. And we're back. So is water, but the flavored kind. And Becca, before we were talking about Borgs, you know, we were talking about how these Gen Z kids are like, you can't get too fucked up if you're drinking alcohol mixed

with water. A lot of experts have pushed back on this supposed science of that but here we are now with a new trend we're seeing on the web uh which is i guess we're calling it flavored water it's flavored water i don't know so if you've been on my side of TikTok lately, which I don't even know how I got here, but I keep seeing these, you know, older, I don't want to say white, but white women, typically seeming from the South, that are on these fitness vibes. It's giving like skinny girl vodka, right? And so they're like, I'm on a weight loss journey. I'm on a fitness journey and I am getting my water intake. I'm going to drink three of these 40 ounce Stanley cups of water.

And originally you're like, okay, good plan, water, hydration. But then it turns South real quick because they're using these, like, like they,

they have these, like what you would imagine a coffee cart, but like a drink making station of all these different, like skinny flavors. So like zero calories zero sugar like flavor flavor syrups yeah yeah and then like these like crystal light like packages but like from brands that are not considered healthy like there's like crushed soda and like starbursts and like let's just play the audio from one of these recipes where this woman sounds like she's hiding from someone

she's all like oh my god because i'm making my fucking water anyway she's about to put everybody on to what she calls pineapple passion fruit water it's the water of the day real quick it is pitch black outside steel my husband just left for work and my grandbaby is asleep so i gotta be super quiet ice fill her up she's putting in a mason jar just like the pineapple upside down cake except for pineapple wait hold on she said just like the pineapple upside down cake water so that's one of her recipes that's one of her other recipes that's not okay go on she's pineapple crystal light shit um and then i think it's upside down cake and three pumps of wedding cake flavor. Okay.

Fuck my life. Okay. Go on. What goes into this pineapple passion fruit, quote unquote, water? And she's holding one of those like pump, like at the fucking coffee shop flavor bottle pump of whatever. And on the bottle, it shows a coffee cup. So it's like, these are meant for coffee. They're not meant for water. Here we go.

Except for I'm using different pineapple packet. Oh. I use the Skittles pineapple star fruit. Oh, water. Here we go. Except for, I'm using a different pineapple packet. Oh. I'm going to use the Skittles Pineapple Star Fruit. Oh, okay. Skittles. Oh, good. Skittles brand powder. Very healthy.

Go on. It's a regular pineapple packet. If you have either one of those, it will be great. Okay. And then I'm using vanilla almond, two pumps of this. If you don't have vanilla almond and you have vanilla, that will work too. So two pumps of this. She's putting it in a water.

Skittles Pineapple Passion Fruit. And it's just blue powder. That will work too. So two pumps of this. She's putting it in a water. Pineapple passion fruit. And it's just blue powder. Oh, it's going to be pretty. Look at that. Okay. Now she's just made Windex with ice. It looks like in a mason jar.

This is nonsense. And then she goes on a drink. She goes, I don't know. You call it juice. I call it water. It's water. Blah, blah, blah. I get it. Some people have no ability to

drink water i guess because you need it yeah i don't know if it's like making hydrating fun and i know over the years like there's been so many ads of like drinking more water and like getting people to drink water and like using crystallite or whatever i love water i don't know about these people who who can't i know you know people like this i know people like this who absolutely are like these they're like i just can't handle it like i know people like this. I know people like this who absolutely are like these. They're like, I just can't handle it. Like, I don't like the flavor. It's like, there is none.

It's so crazy to me. Are you a baby still? Like, it feels like leftover energy from being a child and you only drank juice or something and you couldn't wrap your head around water. Yeah, like my partner's family makes fun of me

because I'm only drinking water for the most part. Like, I drink water or coffee or like, really, that's it. Those are my two categories. Because I like functional drinks. I'm like, coffee, energy, water, hydration. And my skin, hydrated. I'm a very dry person.

You need water. So I don't understand people who can't just drink the damn water. Well, there's another one you showed me where this woman put in she said let's make birthday cake water yes and she put in this like birthday cake zero sugar calories carbs birthday cake syrup like a pretty decent amount and then just topped it off with water and put a straw in it was like yamma yamma yamma i i simply don't understand it is giving like sonic slushy vibes but i would like to know from the zyking like have you heard of this a b is it water is there a scientist who can tell us is it hydrating or not is it just juice at this point yeah there's a lot of talk of like artificial sweeteners yes if you are trying to look after your amount of sugars and things like that if you're deploying it you know intentionally yeah

that might help you out but to pound that shit all the time there's like more and more studies like i don't know if it's the best fucking thing for you uh so i'd imagine just in general if you're trying to be really healthy the less processed shit you put in your body, the better, which is why straight water is fantastic. You don't need to add again. Like you're just being like, here's some blue dye and here's some fake ass processed pineapple Skittle flavor. And then almond syrup, like a hundred milliliters of fucking. All right.

And they're counting it. They're like, they're like, this is my first water of the day. And you're like, but that's not water. And what is, right? Because I remember people saying this about carbonated water, right? And seltzers and things like that. And most people were like, yeah, there's not, like, aside from the flavoring, we can't say anything that it's not hydrating in that sense. And I can imagine, sure, this is hydrating.

But look, nutritionists, Zite Gang, whatever, water Zite Gang, zeitgang juice zeitgang let us know is this is this is this like a turf war we're looking at right now genuinely very curious like i want to know the science behind it i hope the women are happy and they're having a good time but for me i'm gonna be staying away yeah i mean i think there's look to each their own but my philosophy is the healthy thing is not introducing overly processed things into your body. If that's like your main concern, if you're just like, I just got to get down 120 fucking ounces of water a day. How the fuck am I going to get through that? Oh, fine.

I'll just make it blue and have it sweeter than fuck. Then fine. Okay, whatever. We got to keep on the frivolous TikTok shit. You know what I mean? Because this is what we do now. We have to let some people know during the trending episode what else is happening out there in the culture of tiktok i don't know if people saw this video i'd imagine

if you're on twitter you did of this woman who was playing country rose take me home in a fucking elevator like that was apparently stuck packed yeah packed stuck elevator this woman's in the corner playing country rose people are like what the fuck and a lot of people on twitter like this is my fucking hellscape this is a nightmare then we also saw this video of this same woman she did it on a train with her captive audience and also uh like an entire airplane where she was like our plane's stuck on the tarmac because of winds. Turns out this is all intentional and staged by this like singer songwriter person who like, she recently did an interview where she's like,

yeah, like it's a lot of people, like it's gotten me a lot of views, a lot of views. And you know, I am a singer songwriter and I'm promoting my new band of blah, blah, blah.

She's like, however, the problem has been that people just think i'm an asshole like and are completely ignoring like that i'm a musician or whatever and the comments just like this is fucking bullshit they're like miss me with that kill me if that's me on the elevator type stuff so you know you she might be an example of living by the algorithm and dying by it well my question is so a was she singing country road was she singing an original song okay so b a you're not even singing an original song how are people gonna know that this isn't a joke if you're not gonna

sing an original song like people are gonna think it's a bit oh like you're just some busking type situation doing the hits like you're just pranking a bunch of people you know because you're not singing an original song like that's a song everybody knows a b like if you're any normal human who wants to fucking be stuck with a new part like if you've ever been in new york right you're on the train doesn't happen as often as it used to but you'd be on the train and somebody's gonna be like hey so you, I'm a dancer here in New York. And we're coming up with this new choreography. And I really hope you like it. And then they put on their little boombox and they spin around.

Or someone will come around with their guitar and they'll sing. Or you have the mariachi band come in and they have their hats out. And they, you know, so it's like everyone hates this experience. It's a universal that we all don't want to be there. We're all like staring away. Like, because if you catch eye contact, that means you have to give the worst is like an evangelical when they're like excuse me i would like to tell you guys about my lord and savior and i'm like i'm getting the fuck off now i'm like literally transferring trains you know like it's just like

so why would you think this would get you anything but hate on the internet this is a universal experience so this is this was her miscalculation she believed she's she's like i have a satirical edge like i have a sense of humor that's why i wanted to connect with people because she knows captive that's why she like even told people look annoyed as shit because like the elevator one happening during a musician's conference so these are like all people she knew and she's like yo help me out and even like all these other ones she got that she was saying, I got the consent of everyone there. So like, you're like, all right.

So these people are participating in some like weak ass viral marketing. But yeah, now she's like, it just sucks because like I have like a fun spirit and it's being completely misinterpreted by internet trolls. And like she ended this like interview because they're like, okay, so what's your next move? She's like, I don't know. She's like, quote, I'd love to somehow make it something that people cannot be hateful of. Like her next, like TikTok move.

And it's like, quote, I'm not quite sure how to do that yet. Oh, well, look, you got us talking, but I will not be checking out the music,

unfortunately. And finally, happy birthday to one of my idols. Someone I thought I was, Mr. Pharrell Williams is turning 50 years old today. Like, no, he's not. There's no way. I love this.
