Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts hello the internet and welcome to this episode of either one of trends or a beamer um that's courtesy of that's a atlian song that i thought was from the new jersey drive soundtrack is it not on the new jersey drive soundtrack I don't think so because I don't think that timing lines up. Yeah, and also like New Jersey Drive,

we got ATLians on the fucking, like I feel like that is just like all red, man, if it's going to be New Jersey Drive. Oh, man. New Jersey Drive was too volume. Oh, no, it is. It is. Track 10.

Wow. Beat Benzer Beam or Outkast. I mean, but also it makes sense given what New Jersey Drive is about. You know what I mean? There you go. All right. wow benzer beamer outcast i mean but also it makes sense given the con what new jersey drive is about you know there you go um all right i'm jack you're miles um the jigs up here's uh here's what's trending there is a toxic california sized algae bed uh that is creeping into the arctic um which is not good um i'm gonna i'm gonna go out there and say not not great um this is courtesy of climate change the um these waters have never seen uh anything this size before um nor had any water seen anything that size before,

but the Arctic waters, I think are an especially bad place for this to be based on, you know, the quotes from the scientists, uh, they have, uh, Don Anderson,

who we all know is a senior scientist at the woods, whole oceanographic Institute. Um, saying it's astounding. It dwarves anything I've ever seen anywhere. I mean, which makes sense. It's the size of California. That's a big algae bloom.

And yeah, the researchers worry that it could lead to mass die-offs of marine species, imperil the food supply of dozens of remote Arctic communities, even cause sickness and death in humans. There are apparently oral histories in the region about red tides, like the ones that are sometimes caused by these sorts of algae blooms,

but it's the first time that these cysts that produce the blooms have been documented north of the Bering Strait so yeah so keep your eyes keep your eyes locked on that space yeah Daryl Morey is uh trending because apparently uh your squad reached out to him yeah I'm I just read this thing that Daryl morey uh who i think at the time may have been at the rockets but either way he was someone from arsenal football club who plays soccer in the english premier league reached out to him as probably the cronkies because it's american sports world and asked for his uh advice on whether or not they should fire their coach arson banger uh and it seemed like his answer was like that guy's pretty good you know so you may advice on whether or not they should fire their coach, Arsene Wenger.

And it seemed like his answer was like, that guy's pretty good, you know, so you may have trouble dealing with the fallout of trying to replace him. You probably should do that. Really think about that because that's really what's at stake here. And he was right because the replacement didn't work out all too great and we're still kind of, you you know in a period of fluctuation so they asked him should should we fire him he said probably not they said uh thanks for the advice go fuck yourself you're fired to the i mean it was more just i think he didn't want to say either way but i think it was just more like it was basically like a way of saying like i i probably

would i mean i don't know if you if you're gonna like you got to make sure you do it right you got to really have the the next phase of the of the franchise sorted out and they didn't um and so we're here so thank you daryl morey um for saying he's always looking out for you um oh he was always been looking out for me. Thanks, Daryl. Daryl Morey was carrying you that whole time. It seemed like he abandoned you. Yeah, it's got to be tough for him because he left. I think he got fired from Houston, but landed in Philly. Everyone was like, oh, what a great spot for him. He's got two generational talents there with Simmons and Embiid.

two generational talents there with Simmons and Embiid. And now he is in a bad position with somebody who they can't trade, who refuses to play for them. It's a tough break. Look, man, it ain't easy. It ain't easy being at the top, you know? Right. Yeah, except they're not at the top.

They're like in fourth place, fifth place. Okay, well, Jack, I'm trying to say something nice, man. There was apparently at a wrestling match in Philadelphia like a WWE wrestling match or some other. It probably wasn't WWE. Like some wrestling

match they started chanting, fuck Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons. This is going to be a thing for Philadelphians for a long time. Bean. Bean. This is going to be a thing for Philadelphians for a long time. Right. Yeah. Meghan Trainor is trending for the best possible reason.

She's defending having side-by-side toilets with her husband. Uh-uh. Uh? Uh? Yeah. Side, what? Side-by-side toilets? Side-by-side toilets?

With her husband. Yeah. Also endorsing three-legged jeans and the serial colon blow oh right and i think yeah her next tour is being sponsored in part by oops i crap my pants um so she has an actual love toilet from the snl sketch with kevin nealon and now wild conspiracy theorist victoria jackson yeah um and that was uh that was such a golden age of um fake snl products or it was just a golden age because i was 12 uh and that really made me laugh do you remember the other one that was the workout system where

like a mutant was in a box who would fucking try and kill you and you stayed in shape by just trying to survive the attacks of like the mutant bow flex no i don't remember oh my god it was like this werewolf uh like would hop it's just the whole premise was that like dude you're gonna get in shape because if not you're gonna get fucking absolutely killed by this thing right um she said to clear things up okay you sickos we pooped once together and we laughed and said never again uh but he will hang out with me if i'm pooping because we soulmates and i legit miss him when i'm away from him and we pee together obvi um dude pooping together is a i don't look do whatever you gotta do um shitting i can't i cannot be in any state of communication when i'm taking the shit

it's all like me looking at something i can't get on the phone yeah no we tried recording that episode uh we won't say which one it was but uh yeah it didn't go no you'll know go back you'll know uh but that's just so weird and like i miss them so much that i have to be near them when i'm shitting okay yeah maybe i'm just jealous because i don't have that kind of relationship with her majesty and i'm like get in here ma if you miss me you're gonna watch me take this wild post taco bell shit yeah all right did you i'm sorry i just have to keep out because i keep this is something i've always come up with like in my dating life i would date people who would like actively say stuff like you know like girls don't poop girls don't really yes yeah yeah i definitely have heard that like no no no they're gonna

girls don't fart girls don't fart and i'm like yeah they do and i prefer people that do fart because it's just funnier and that means i can part too and that means we don't have to we don't have to approach this weird moment we're like who's gonna fart first right um but yeah i don't when i when i see this i'm like that this is like the whole other direction it's like like, I only shit in my lover's embrace. Yeah. I don't know which is... This is definitely healthier than pretending that you don't have a human body and that

you are just this cartoon character of desirability. That definitely doesn't seem like a healthy way to be i i think this is great uh as long as it's not because you literally feel empty when you're not in the physical presence of somebody uh but you know i'm taking her words out of context but are we just shit shaming like or should we have the same level of comfort around urinating that we do around defecating because like yeah talking to the homie like yo you're taking a piss in the other room you're like what yeah yeah yeah or your partner they're peeing and you're talking that's less but then shitting becomes a whole other thing like oh yeah it smells terrible sometimes yeah i grew up in a household that was that did not have that

uh taboo and uh of like of like a bathroom being like uh some i'm not talking i'm in i'm indisposed at the moment yeah no they would they would leave the door open and just be like hey um like the dad from friday uh that's um and yeah i'm not gonna get into too many details but i will say that i still live in one of those households uh okay yeah so you're just short of having dual toilets yeah it's just like we're we don't seek it out but nobody is uh nobody there is no shame in our game at this point um yeah i'm married 13 years so yeah the most will be i mean conversations through a closed door but mostly because i'm like don't talk to me right now i gotta take a shit right give me like give me 37 minutes i definitely

prefer like some privacy and uh some quiet time for sure some qt because it's another thing also when kids come into the equation because they just want to they they think it's hilarious that that you're just taking a dump yeah yeah and you're like please come on i'm like no he's crying look oh man are like the among the very first uh things that are hilarious to them to this day, still to this, to this day. All right,

Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments

in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes.

We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and uh rick wilson is one of the heads of the lincoln project yeah you told me before we started recording because i was like who the hell is rick wilson you've you've seen his face his little bald-headed avatar on twitter all the time yeah i just forgot who he was yeah but he is uh out here saying that the january 6th commission is dead um yeah because the uh democrats i guess don't or are not going to or just the commission is not going to be able to uh or claims they will not be enforcing

the subpoenas or just that they're not aggressively saying out loud you know right in response because i think he's just looking at the headlines that trump's saying like fuck fucking ignore the subpoenas and nothing's happening because we're not hearing like screams back from the commission basically being like get over here so we can just fucking eviscerate you with our questioning here's the thing when you there's people even like on the commission like i think um liz cheney was like not full like we're we're actually doing shit it's not everything's out in the open and there there has been some indication that trump's lawyers asked the national archives to try and like block the release of certain documents but the current white house is like

no release everything don't don't listen to these fucking people so i think it's just i think he just may be frustrated as someone who's been his whole like raison d'etre has been to just be like i hate trump i hate him this guy so yeah. He just might not realize that in the commission you ask for permission to hit him. Yeah. You don't like me hitting my wife who's with him. His original text makes it sound like he has some insider info.

I have some bad news. After multiple calls, I have some extremely grim news. Go on, Rick. Okay, Rick. Okay, Rick. As of now, 1-6 Commission is dead already and will not enforce the subpoenas. Trump wins.

So to say I'm livid is putting it mildly. Whatever. I mean, if this is like his like weird, dumb way of trying to get people to like pressure their representatives in congress to like get as aggressive as he wants sure yeah i mean if it works hell yeah like get get him do it yeah i mean again you know it's just one of those things where like even even before this rick wilson tweet i'm just like i'll believe it when i see it yeah yeah there'll never be justice for these kinds of crimes but i'd hope so for the good of our country trending right now is this guy rich paul uh who is um just coming on the radar of uh adele fans and just i think probably just anybody who's not an NBA fan, he has dominated the NBA for the last,

like, you know, however long, like 10 years, decade, uh, as LeBron's agent. And then an increasingly,

you know, the, one of the key power brokers who determines who plays where, in the NBA, uh, dude is just absolutely killing it um and but it's funny to see him cross other people's radars because there's uh there's uh like headlines such as who is adele's new boyfriend everything to know about rich paul the shadow leader of the nba you mean yeah the cut says

adele's new boyfriend seems chill but it's just great to have somebody who's no who's like a household name uh referred to as uh boyfriend yeah yeah chill guy who's adele's boyfriend yeah i mean look uh do a little bit of reading you'll find out very quickly this person has outsized power in the world of sports yeah uh I just remember that one tweet though when we were first talking about Adele uh someone is like he's trying to sign her to clutch records I mean it guy's never not working yeah could you could you imagine? He's like, I'm sorry, Adele. This was all about business for me. I should have told.

I thought you knew. I mean, it's at least about both. You know, nothing's ever not. The guy is, he's good at this. He's got his eyes open. GTA 6, baby, is trending. I am psyched. Big news.

You even remember this shit.ta 3 right yeah man oh man well um no it's not gta 6 is trending because every person on the internet is like what the fuck is rockstar doing again this happened the last time rockstar put out any bit of information about what they think they're gonna do i think last time is because they said we're gonna remaster gta 5 for next gen consoles you're gonna love it i know this title has already spanned three iterations of playstation because it came out on ps3 then they re-release it on ps4 and now they're gonna re-release it on PS5. And many people are like, where's the sixth fucking game? Right. What's the last one they did?

GTA 5. Right. That came out in 2013. What's, oh, damn. Yeah. What's the city? It's like a fake hybrid. It's, you know, it's like.

It's LA, right? Southern California. Yeah. Because it's like kind of a version where it's like monterey to the north and then there's like a sort of you know joshua tree santa barbara part very large map i mean it'd take you a very long time to drive completely around it in a regular car but yeah i don't know just it's just a it's like it's almost becoming a meme where every time like rockstar announces something,

it's like, no, we're dusting off some older shit rather than giving you the new shit. So basically what's happening is they're re-releasing the original three games, so GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. What city haven't they done? What are people hoping they're going to map? I don't know i mean anywhere i think the maps are not as like relevant like in the beginning it was cool because vice city was like

okay cool we're getting this like miami vice type shit new york was in gta3 but i think more than anything people just want to have just a huge sandbox game like gta because they've they were the originators of it of doing it you know well right um so i don't know i i don't i don't have i mean it would be cool to see like another continent or another country doesn't actually always have to be like that would be really dope but knowing their past record on cultural stuff maybe they should stick to the US and not piss people off. Maybe. What is the best sandbox game to date in your opinion

or broadly? I have a very narrow view on it because I grew up loving the GTA franchise. Red Dead Redemption 2 is fucking amazing yeah that sounds like the one i hear most about yeah and i think like if you go you know also like ghost of tsushima

is also sort of like that as well where you're just on this massive island and you're just this samurai getting down um and you know just for laughs like a saint's row saint's row is like a parody for like a almost comedic version of a gta game um but yeah on purpose parody yeah yeah yeah like there was like version like there was like a there was like a dubstep gun in it that would just like blast like and like explode people that's funny um and then like the gangs that were like represented are just like super exaggerated shit but you know that's kind of like the vibe of that game we should have a podcast where uh it's just me listening to you catch me up on uh what i've missed in video games since mario 64 yeah but just me like oh nice oh dude that sounds sick yeah all right me and dan

just fighting. I'm like, do you want to take this one, man? I can't. I don't know how far back I have to go just to describe NBA 2K. All right. Well, that is going to do it for us this week. We're back on Tuesday. We are taking off on Monday for International Indigenous Peoples Day.
