Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Graphic Interchange in Trend Change Format. Graphic Interchange Format. Graphic Interchange. There it is. Change Format. Hey, you know, they can't all be winners in terms of reading the words that are in front of my face. That is, the Graphic Interchange Format is what GIF stands for. And that is the uh graphic interchange format is what gif stands for and that is courtesy of johnny davis um we were talking about gifts being washed um in a in a recent episode yeah we said

not just emoji fuck gifts too if gifts are washed how I am. I think it's all washed. If gifts are washed, consider me bathed. Because I ain't going anywhere with those. I am Jack and that is Miles. And these are some things that are trending. Hit me with that Danny Elfman flow. Yeah. I got the, this is Halloween. This is Halloween.

And spooky, scary skeletons. That's all. We have a two-song rotation going in the household right now. I believe that's called a psy-op. Yeah. They're trying to kill me. Didn't they do that to Noriega? Yeah.

I think it was mostly barney songs but those could be on the barney playlist for sure right like bar if barney covered either of those songs it would make perfect sense to me all right uh pelosi punch is trending not because it's a new high c flavor but because it's just we're getting all sorts of video leaks coming from january 6th from the committee the committee's yeah kind of doing some quiet you know uh let they're not doing the big blockbuster tv uh extravaganza they're just drop you know dropping us with dropping just little moments here in the viral vids yeah this clip is from uh this is nancy pelosi hearing that because we heard during the january 6th uh like testimonies and things like that that trump was we got we knew that he was he wanted to march to the capital

remember and they're like yo we can't secure that shit fam and he lost it on him so this clip that came out is of nancy pelosi hearing like as all of this is happening like they've they released a lot of footage where you can see a lot of the congressional leadership like trying to get the department of defense or somebody to send the national guard or something to try and you know like protect the capital um so this is like this scene or not seen well yeah mean, because it's like shot like a fucking movie. But this like little excerpt is from her talking to like some staff about like whether or not Trump is coming. And then you hear her angry response about that.

Secret Service said they have dissuaded him from coming to Capitol Hill. They told him they don't have the resources to protect him here. So at the moment, he is not coming. But that could change. Oh, he comes. I'm resources to protect him here so at the moment he is not coming but that could change oh he comes i'm gonna punch him out this is my mom i'm waiting for this for trespassing on the capital grounds i'm gonna punch him out and i'm gonna go to jail and i'm gonna be happy all right nance all right all right okay okay you can go to jail you're gonna be happy i don't know if that's what jail's like for most people but you know what go off queen they have jenny's there right they have a freezer full of jenny's at jail oh yeah and without the uh

what was it the wisteria or listeria and remember that like whole jenny's and like the contaminated ice cream anyway that's like a story five years ago yeah i think that was a long time ago and i think i've chosen to delete that from my memory because because my favorite close by and my kids but yeah this along with many other clips like the i think the biggest one of the more ones that like republicans are struggling with is for the longest time they had had this line of attack where they're like, Nancy ago and uh you know so now people are i think i saw some pundits pivot to well why they have cameras with them all the time oh interesting okay i don't know because it was in the midst of a attack on the capital and people thought this

might be uh newsworthy hmm yeah i i i wonder if because you know her daughter is a documentarian i don't know if that was like her daughter may have been around or something that either way whatever i just like when people like you see some incriminating shit and people pivot to well how'd you get that footage right that doesn't fucking negate what we just saw idiot is there also a clip circulating where trump is because i've seen a bunch of video and like audio of um but like is there one where he's like they're they're gonna know we lost i got a little dick it's pathetic there's one where cassidy hutchinson is she is describing what was said right and she's saying he basically was like this is this is a disaster

we can't like they can't find out that we lost wow and you're like wow i mean like you know he knew and but we knew he knew and that's why it's like we don't need to start being like yeah what did he know how did he know it's like he knew what did the president know and when did he know it is an outdated question. Right. Yeah. So anyways, all right. Well, shout out to Nancy Pelosi for having the, you know, the thought. She's a street fighter, huh?

Yeah. She's tough. She's tough. She's a real street fighter. Pelosi punch would be i think it would set the record for the worst uh high c flavor of all time though right like i mean you know what though that's that's a pay-per-view pelosi duffing out donald trump yeah i would pay i would pay to see it i would illegally stream it hagridrid is trending because actor Robbie Coltrane,

who played Hagrid, passed away at age 72. Yeah. You know, people know I don't really know anything about Harry Potter, but I get it's like the number one thing trending and obviously is a huge media memory for many people who are watching the series but yeah yeah apparently he was like yeah struggling with some illness and yeah 72 is not it's not that old these days man i'm so dumb that i i looked up i was like so this guy was at least what seven feet

tall like i like that's i truly was like this guy's got to be at least you know and he was six fucking hagrid whoa they cast this guy as hagrid what are the stats on that six one he played he played an eight six character and he was six one so yo Yo, wait, what? That's how tall Hagrid was in the book? 8'6", yeah. It's a fantastical world, Miles. I don't know. Yeah, no, no, I get that. I get that. Where you don't help your poor friends. Yeah.

That's right. Van Gogh is trending. Yeah. Old Van Gig. Old Van Gogh. trending. Yeah. Old Van gig. Old Van Gogh. Because people are protesting oil climate change by throwing tomato soup at one of his most famous paintings. Yeah. I mean I get you know the protesting and trying to demonstrate and you know making it known about

your where you stand with climate change I think a lot of people are like I mean but what does Van Gogh have to do what's he got to do with the climate change? And maybe it's a museum exhibition that is owned by BP or something.

I truly don't know the reasoning behind it. But that is frustrating that we're only able to see really nice art because of... Or we can't go see nice art without people being like, thank you to the beneficence of, you know, BP, Sackler family. Yeah.

But, um, at the same time, I don't know. Maybe, maybe just throw tomato soup at them at oil executives. Yeah. I mean,

like, it's not like Van Gogh was bawling in his career. No, it was not. You know what I mean? The dude was struggling. Yes. You know what I mean?

And he didn't even know he was a fucking hit. He died. I know. So like, I, but I think what the point is, is that by doing that you've you know you're fucking up a van gogh and not be like why they do that climate change right sure you've you've

you've you've injected that into the discussion attention it feels like yeah but yeah it's funny like people's this is one person on twitter was like they had me Googling if Van Gogh was a colonizer or something. That man was just depressed. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and get to some Halloween tent. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.

One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes

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. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

And they just dropped a trailer for a House Party remake. I would not have clicked on a link to a trailer for the House Party remake were it not for this show. I would have just assumed it was going to be you know kind of some c plus thing but this trailer got me very excited i think i thought the trailer i audibly went okay and laughed at a couple jokes there's lebron james with a sense of humor in it about his own personal l's in life. That was really interesting that usually when you see a celebrity play themselves in a comedy, they're never going to touch the shit that we talk shit about them about on Twitter.

And then here's LeBron doing hairline jokes. Yeah. And the decision jokes. I assume that the famous person's assistant is like, okay, so these are the third rails. Before you meet with Mr. James, these are the third rails that you should know. Never even mention not just his hairline, but that there is such a thing as hairlines. We don't use the word decision in conversation just around him in any context because it might bring up his failure

with regards to the decision. And we don't acknowledge space exists. We don't acknowledge jam exists. And we don't acknowledge the number two exists around Mr. James. But this suggests, no, he has a pretty good sense of humor. It was pretty funny. Because the joke is that they are house-sitting for LeBron James.

Right. And again, it's like they need money and they're throwing a party. It's wild on Twitter. So many people are not fucking with it. I think the biggest thing that I've seen are people go, I don't want another house party remake. We don't need remakes. I agree with that. You don't want another house party remake, or we don't need remakes. I agree with

that. You don't need to rely on the name. But it's clear even from what the director is saying, is I'm not making a reboot of that. The way he's described it is, I wouldn't say it's part of the same exact universe as the first three house parties, but I think that this title can go a bunch of directions. And it doesn't have to be in the same universe. I feel like this movie's title is something that can be remade every four or five years, depending on what's going on in the culture. The universe is just the universe of people gathering and friends having a good time.

I get that. Like if you, if it was named another thing, I would still be like, this movie looks funny. Yeah, exactly. And I think that's another thing people are saying.

It's like, well, if there's no kid in play, then it can't be house party. And I get that for people of a certain age. Like, that's what house party is. And it feels like you're messing with the sanctity of it. But when you watch the trailer, I was looking at it, not expecting kid in play.

I'm just looking at, okay, what's happening here? And I was intrigued. I'm intrigued. You have my attention, Mr. Party. But maybe we are outliers there on Twitter. Yeah, we're old and washed. I'm ready to see it. Mike Itkis is trending.

Yo, Mike Itkis, who is running for the 12th district, congressional district, Manhattan. That's where Jerry Nadler, that's currently his seat. He a third party candidate and he's been getting up getting some headlines because he has sort of like fashioned himself as this uh i guess like sex positive candidate like the only one he's like i'm i'm really trying to highlight the sex positivity of my campaign platform he's uh like a retired i think a retired army cyber operations officer, but what he did, he just,

this is from this report. He posted the 13 minute video. So he made a, he made a porn tape. Okay. And he put it out. He said he posted the 13 minute video to a popular online porn site of him having sex with the porn performer,

Nicole Sage as a quote conversation piece quote if i would just talk about it it wouldn't demonstrate my commitment to the issue and the fact i actually did it was a huge learning experience and it actually influenced items on my platform wow now i don't think this is you know uh okay i'm like you know i don't have any problem with you normalizing like uh porn like porn performances and sex work and things like that but it's just funny like the way like clearly you're just doing this to make a splash because you can still have like empathy and understand like how you can learn from like people in the industry without being like and you know I had to smash on camera. Right. How serious am I?

Right. Check this out. It's wild because the screen cap that they have, it looks like a fake-ass video that would be titled Creepy Politician Smashes in Hotel Room. Right. Because he's got a suit on. He starts off wearing a suit.

Ooh. I mean, that's kind of crazy like is he giving like talking about his platform is the character he playing like horny stepson comes home and catches mom in hotel room or something? Or is it like, I'm Mike Kiss and I approve this message. Like he's saying that mid video, in the act is a question. I don't know, actually. Yeah, it's called, I mean, if you're so inclined, it's called Bucket List Bonanza. And he said he's not an exhibitionist I mean I think it's interesting because

his whole thing is really he's you know he's trying to legalize sex work and you know like guarantee like you know like you're like having sexual rights etc but I mean on the other side of it it's like you know I guess this is kind of what you have to do to break through when you're

you're a third party candidate and like just a you know a race that's uh favors the other two right so we'll see i i have to imagine there's a lot of politicians who are hoping that this works and people are like this dude is really making some uh headway in this race now that people have seen him bone on camera yeah but there's probably more politicians who are like please god please don't make this the future it's funny the nadler campaign declined to comment uh the republic it gets his republican opponent said quote you gotta do what you gotta do the media ignores everybody that's not a democrat in the city there you go i love it and finally uh the list of most popular halloween candy by state is out um and this is just trend spam.

This is just these are stories that they release every year just to get on this show. Candystore.com is Relax, Candystore.com. You're not getting on the show. That's right.

But you are in this case. Even though you just did. But it's they report on this based on like the bulk of candies

that are bulk purchases through their website, which represents about 30% of all purchases. Oh, okay. And as always, there's some questionable decisions happening here. I think, so Tootsie Potts, the question is not whether these are people's favorite candy, because I think generally most people are not saying Tootsie Pops are their favorite candy. No, this is what old motherfuckers in your neighborhood are buying. Yes.

This is their favorite candy to give out for Halloween. Yes. That's why I'm like, hot tamales? Hot tamales. For who? For who? And like how much of it is just representative of like how cheap that candy is?

How many states are fucking with hot tamales? Let's see here. We got Nevada. Minnesota. Who else? Minnesota. Nevada. Did you say, who else? Minnesota, Nevada. North Dakota? North Dakota, Virginia.

Seems to be, it's got to be because there's like a deal on hot tamales and the economy is not great right now. Look, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in California, that tracks for me. I'm proud to live in California. You know, that makes me proud to live in California. Texas with the Starburst? That feels real. I like a Halloween Starburst mini pack,

those little two packs. Yeah. You know? It's the Tootsie Roll Pop that I'm really a little alarmed by. That's in, I believe, Washington and Utah. Is that what Utah is also rocking with that? Yeah, Utah is still rocking with that. You got to do better, people of Utah.

And it does make sense to me. And so is New Jersey. New Jersey rocking with that. Tennessee. Like more states rocking with Tootsie pops even than hot tamales tennessee utah washington and new jersey yeah like maps like this will never make sense right because everyone is all over the place with the shit that they like so i'm more interested in the insight of zeitgang. Am I missing something?

In Washington, y'all fuck with Tootsie Pops because y'all are like, are you fuck with sucker culture? Right. Utah, you like sucker culture? You like to eat your candy on a stick? Not that you're suckers. Right.

But tell me. Invite me in. What's the one in Florida? Florida is also Reese's's cups so okay i think like that's like texas florida new york is sour patch kids that also makes sense illinois like these places that have big cities where people talk to other people maybe and they they know uh not just what like what is happening on fox news but they actually meet people with young kids who eat candy still and so maybe that's where where we're we're getting some of the disparity between a reese's cup state such as uh our own home state and a

tootsie pop state. But just... I don't know. I mean, I would love to work with a sociologist to see if we can use this data and find some kind of common thread here. Like if there is something where it's like, if you live in a tootsie roll pop state, these are the five things we can tell you about you.

You know? New Hampshire with the m&ms i'm assuming that includes peanut m&ms so that's okay okay i'll accept it um yeah but even like west virginia has blow pops um as opposed to oh okay you know what okay i'm with you west virginia wheeling west virginia we're back we're back Virginia. Wheeling, West Virginia, we're back. We're back, baby. Boone County, West Virginia, we're back. But there's only one state that has blow pops, but four states that have Tootsie Pops. That must just be a price point thing, right?

I guess? Because Tootsie Pops, am I alone in thinking Tootsie Pops are far worse than blow pops? I think blow pops are better than Tootsie Pops are far worse than Blow Pops? I think Blow Pops are better than Tootsie Pops. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did buy a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tootsie, again, and I've said this before, I don't like Tootsie Rolls because it feels like fuck you chocolate.

Yeah, it's like chocolate candy-like material. You're cutting the chocolate with other chewy rubber and she just give me fucking chocolate straight up i don't i don't have time for this chewy bullshit so it's a first draft of candy and the first drafts of candy that came out in like the early 20th century were not good we got necco wafers which was just like what if what if sugar was hard and we got, what if communion wafers were sinful? Exactly.

Yeah. And Tootsie Pops are like, what if gum and chocolate had like some sort of awful child that like didn't really make sense and didn't really work. And I think the other thing I will say, the Tootsie Pops commercial with the owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

One, two, and then he bites the shit out of it. You know what I'm talking about? Classic. That's a win. Yeah, that's a marketing victory. They've had more success than they should. Blow Pops had way better commercials in the 90s right blow pops are like wacky neon colors like whoa like you thought your fucking hair was gonna

explode if you ate a blow pop and you were like a kid looking at this commercial so i definitely got caught up by the blow pop marketing so i will say that i'm i'm starting to realize like tootsie pops does a lot of things right like. The design of their wrapper, didn't they have those little stars on the... The design of their wrapper looks like it was designed by the same people in the Illuminati that designed our money. There's just little strange... To me, it looks like people who made racist cowboys and Indians wallpaper. Yeah.

There's something timeless and weird and classic about their advertising and their their label design that feels like maybe maybe that's what they have going is like good marketing and then just like a crazy low price point this blow pop commercial from 1989 look all these colors Look at these kids in their multicolored outfits. Wow. Look, that kid got a deep voice. Strawberry.

Oh my God. Sour apple. Everything is fluorescent. Everything. It looks like a, you know, the home of a kindergarten art school teacher yeah rather than like a old charlie brown cartoon in the form of a tootsie pop commercial right anyway like a dark yeah what can you do shout out charms anyways like we said you're not gonna get us talking about

your bullshit story candy store.com um no way you'll just get us talking about your bullshit story, candystore.com. No way. You'll just get us really angry and then down a rabbit hole talking about shit from the 90s again. And then talking about all our favorite candies that you can probably buy on candystore.com. Shit. Blew it. That would be such the most subversive way to do sponsored content. We're like, yeah, okay, candy. We're not going to do what you think we're going to do.

We talk about candystore.com where you can buy your Halloween candy. Buy it local. Buy it local. Yeah, definitely buy it local. Don't buy it from candystore.com. Also, how does something like candystore.com stay in business? It's a fraud for the illuminati from the original like uh there's gonna be a website for everything era of you know where you're like how do i get groceries i'll go to grocery.com yeah wipe my ass.net please
