Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of

Hey, Six Trends Every Day. new episodes every thursday hello the internet and welcome to this episode of hey six trends every day that's courtesy of super producer brian jeffries yeah yo which he he uh gave it to me as hey hey hey hey six trends every day uh which i thought was like a a protest of some sort. I thought it was an Arctic Monkeys song. Yeah. Or like there would be protests outside the office if we started doing only five trends every day. We demand our six trends. Six trends, none the richer. Do we do that? No,

we need to. Damn, son. This six trends thing has opened up a whole new world. Six, six, six, six. Alright, well you are Miles. Yeah. And I'm Jack. Yeah. And here are some things that are trending.

Josh Duggar, the reality show guy who was a child predator, has been found guilty. I think it's with child porn, I believe, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, yep. Yep. And how far are these reality stars fall? uh i think it's with child porn i believe right yeah yeah yeah that's yep and how far these reality stars fall uh and who'd have thought when you're already because like that family was already like the keeping up with the duggars like nine 900 kids right uh and that was just like one of those odd shows that like, even when you watch, you're like this,

this family feels a little off, but Hey, it's weird because who has that many kids? Unless their religion dictates it. Is he one of the kids? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

He was like one of the eldest kids of that family. Got it. And their, their thing was that they had a lot of kids and that's how they got a reality show basically that was the the most simplified version is was like they had a show that was like you'll never believe how many kids these fucking people have and they're not even good kids they just kept having them it's right um yeah and that that was just a very very strange show but it was like you know one of those early like sort of in the vein of john and k plus eight where people were just like got it man

impossible familial situations okay and he was the eldest of 19 so that he also kind of stood out in that respect yeah got it okay well um was that a show that you were familiar with that you that you watched i mean i knew about it because i would all i mean i was i i knew of many reality shows but like that show just didn't appeal to me because like these people are trying to act way too like wholesome and normal and like their problems are like well i want to expand the house to fit three more bedrooms like you want more kids honey uh-huh and it's just like this is not no i'll watch i'll go to vh1 and get my licks in um all right birds aren't real is trending you may have even seen

this uh in in the oldest form of memery uh where like signs popping up in your city um birds aren't real so this is sort of a meme uh started by a 23 year old as a bit it is a bit but they're uh taking it they play it very seriously uh but it's basically a work of satire on like just the the post-truth reality that young people have grown up among um and they've been trending off and on uh for you know a while now but uh they just did a profile in the new york times of them and so i think that's why they've popped back into relevancy but then there's probably people really concerned like oh no man birds aren't real yeah god damn it so the theory that they posit is that birds aren't uh real they're actually uh government drones uh that are just

built to kind of spy on us yeah cool it's not it's not your phone couldn't possibly be your fucking phone has to be something just completely take something out of your existence say that's the conspiracy okay well you know i vibe with birds um but i i don't know if they are real so i guess i'll have to do some digging yeah by cosplaying conspiracy theorists they have found community and kinship uh is what the i mean i i get that i like it what a fucking strange like world to grow up in where if you're younger too it's almost normal that you know people who have completely set sail from reality and just shipped off somewhere else like whereas for us olds we've seen a slow boil into this stuff and they're always like we always had kooky relatives who you know was like

you know insisting that you know the reason atlantis happened was they were traveling on beams of light and that actually created too much water vapor and that's why it it's flooded the city like okay i just want the recipe for your stuffing in this case i think like in that sense when you're really just seeing this constantly like just you know leaning into like yeah birds aren't real fuck it let's have a laugh at all the dark shit like it's like a like a like a macro meme for existence yeah and then travis scott is trending he made his first appearance post uh the astroworld tragedy um and basically said he didn't know how bad things were uh yeah that'll hold up right yeah guy what what's that hey i didn't know you literally saw you told you stopped your show many like a few

times and acknowledged something was happening and then like in this interview he did it with charlemagne which i don't understand again what like why why is charlemagne like the arbiter of like all these stupid kinds of interviews or events like hey man be real with charlemagne about what really happened here but in it he was almost saying like he's like and i heard some stuff maybe backstage but it was not convincing like if anything he looks so much worse trying to do this shit um so i don't know who thought it was a good idea it did not didn't play i don't think even close to what i think how his like publicists or whatever thought it would but yeah i don't know yeah is so what is i actually haven't been following uh

posts like you know when it first came out it was like you, there was speculation that the concert promoters, the security, you know, anybody who was involved in the overall organization of it was at fault. And then there was a lot of noise around Travis Scott, but it was a lot of like satanic panic memes, like people being like he did this on purpose. satanic panic memes like people being like he did this on purpose like what have we come to a like middle ground there where it's like he also was very uh involved in the overall sort of vibes of the at his concerts i don't think there's really been much else because it was all i i'm sure that'll come out in the course of like a trial i mean i think the buzz died down because i think for most observers you're like that's travis scott fucked up there sure you know many people have opportunities to understand that something's going wrong at their live show um that's just a general thing and many people

point to numerous examples of artists having people go down in the crowd or something not being right and they'll literally shut the fucking music off in the middle of the song be like yo yo yo you need to step the fuck everybody needs to step the fuck back right we're not doing this because on some level they understand what their responsibility or duty is to the people that are giving them their money to be part of this um but like you know this this interview is just again it's l's for everybody involved like charlamagne already has his own reputational issues travis scott is like already had a terrible self-taped apology video that everyone mocked because it was like lacked any sense of sincerity video that everyone mocked because it was like lacked any sense of sincerity and in this one it was just a it just didn't feel it didn't feel anything it wasn't substantive because

at no point do you hear travis scott even close to like begin to articulate some sense of like regret or that he like had you know that maybe he could have done better and i think that's the problem when you try and do something like this but you have lawyers that are aware of like well don't say you feel responsible right yeah yeah then what's the fucking like then then all this serves to do is make you look like a you know question dodging accountability dodging asshole yeah uh sir producer brian said that when he saw radio head tom york stopped the show because a girl looked sick. Right. Yeah.

I mean, there's been lots of kind of legendary shows that are going wrong, and then the musicians have to intervene. Yeah. And sometimes the crowd. I remember when I was at a Radiohead show, the audience, we stopped the show because Tom York looked sick. And we were just so worried about him. That would be actually hard to tell if Tom York was sick. He's like, no, no, I'm... That's just what I look like, guys.

Oh, sorry. I've never been this close to the stage before, man. I was like, damn, he's dancing all funny too. Is he okay? He's a real live wire on the stage. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

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.

In whatever form you want that to come. But the Biden boom has been, you know, a lot of people who are looking at the stocks and the economy and, you know, that there are lower unemployment, like sort of applications than previous months. months but a lot of sort of they're pointing to this article in the washington monthly that sort of coined this phrase where they're saying like dude like if you look it's quote the strongest

two-year performance on growth jobs and income in decades now that may be true but that doesn't mean that everybody is doing well financially and i think it's a low bar because incomes were like so stuck at a certain point that it quite it took this like very organic uh like labor strike for people to begin wanting to be like oh yeah maybe more money is part of this equation now but sure that may be true but i think it's it's a great talking point because you see the people that are retweeting on twitter it's just like all these like big d type people i mean look at why is this not getting covered yeah no it's not getting covered because no one's fucking experiencing it in a tangible way aside from a very small group of people right that's why maybe try something you know more far reaching try a new angle yeah um

the i'm out of angles yeah but this i mean we we talk on tomorrow's episode about you know just just the overall like mainstream media is bought into this one way of viewing the world and as that way of viewing the world where like things the economy is measured by the stock market and you you know, everything like corporate is good and investment we're investing in our future. Um, you know, as that reality drifts further and further from people's lived reality, uh, we are in a worse and worse place, uh, as, as a, uh, society, because, you know, there's, there's no alternative other than our podcast and uh you know the right wing shit uh that that's the all that exists and don't you try looking for some

other show now yeah don't don't do that don't don't try looking for some first rate podcast uh the sacklers are trending what are those uh wacky kids up to those death merchants uh you know architects of the opioid crisis you know they're huge huge patrons of the arts like this there are sackler galleries across this sordid earth of ours um but recently the met the metropolitan museum of art they have announced that the sackler name would be removed from like seven different Art, they have announced that the Sackler name would be removed from like seven different spaces that they have because they're like, yeah, we get it. It's a, they're bad. They're bad. The money came from death. Yeah. Okay. We get it. It took, it took a little bit. Okay. It took a little bit of time, but now we get it. We're getting rid of that. So they will be renaming those spaces.

Do we know who's going to step in? What other extraordinarily wealthy family? I think they're just going to call them the Fentanyl Gallery now or something like that. It's just a really fucked up pivot. And then Downing Street Rave is trending. So. Is that what the fuck they're calling it? I love this shit. There is,

people are pissed. Boris Johnson was having parties while everybody was like in lockdown. He was having gatherings among like government workers like while the rest of the people in the UK were locked down um and so isn't there also like some shit with like cocaine like they're like it seems like there's like a lot

of uh sort of boris johnson party animal uh vibes going around i mean anybody whose fucking hair like is like that yeah they're they're getting fucked up all the time yeah um so anyways people have decided to uh throw a um oh the cocaine thing they said there was traces of cocaine discovered at 11 of 12 sites tested in the palace of westminster where the house of commons like for members of the house of Commons and Lords meet. Yeah. Yeah. People are getting.

It's just flying, baby. What do you think? You want these people to not beam up before they fucking start telling you how to live your life? Right. What better than, I mean, I think it's no different than even how things are done in the United States

where a handful of wealthy bros coked up out of their minds are like helping define fiscal policy. yeah they just have enough power over uh governmental institutions that they would never let drug tests come into where they actually do their cocaine right oh we bump me lord yes please uh super producer brian actually has a theory uh that the reason he has that haircut is that people are cutting his hair uh when he passes out at parties it's like getting dicks drawn on your face but but but it's like what you do with the prime minister yeah dude sort his fucking do out oh so the but this isn't necessarily them being flippant about all the parties yeah no so somebody

has announced that they're going to throw a rave outside uh downing street number 10 on a christmas eve it's like a facebook event and 370 000 people say they will attend the rave further 550 000 are interested so um it's being organized by dj john mancini hey dj john mancini come on down to 10 down from new jersey exactly we're gonna kick it old school baby um but yeah we got africa bombada doing a like, I don't think you want him there. I don't know what, is something happening with him? Look, he's cool. But I think this kind of reminds me of the British version of Storming Area 51 in that Facebook

event, where like 700,000 people were like, yeah, I'll go. I'm ready. But I also, I do believe in the British spirit of taking the piss. Yeah, I think they're going to do this. To have some, it might not be in the, you know, thousands or something, but I feel like people will show up.

I feel like I would, I would at least walk by to see if it was going to be like, hey, that rave is actually going down. You want to fuck it? Let's go. Yeah. it let's go yeah just be wear something that you're uh willing to piss in because i feel like it's going to be hard to uh find restrooms based on uh the american uh new year's eve celebration in times square anybody i know who's ever gone to that is like it is a five hour long bathroom emergency like because they just don't have enough bathrooms oh and then i'm sure at a certain point then everything just becomes a piss buck for people to yeah yeah

exactly cool oh yeah but anyways for any uk listeners they're saying bring who you like bring your own nibbles and drink all right i do do what bring me home nibbles and drink as well. Yeah. And invite us. Yeah. Just live stream from the party. Alright, well those
