Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of honey zeit shrunk the trends that is a short show title from long lost friend i had an opportunity to do another trend there and your username on discord friend um but anyways uh it's also courtesy of discord zeitgang

brought it from the discord up to twitter uh which i do check um so shout out to you thank you once again for making my life easier i am jack and i am joined for today's trending episode by super producer becca roma what's up you know nothing much just here on this lovely monday to do some trending yeah yeah monday it's not really it doesn't really feel like a monday because we're all just sitting in front of our tvs watching the winter olympics am i right absolutely on 24 7 because you know i have cable right we all do um i do have cable because of the sports. And I did watch a little bit of the Winter Olympics over the weekend with my kids who don't really care about sports, don't really understand them that much.

They ask me if the Sixers are playing when I'm watching football. You've trained. And yeah, imagine me trying to explain curling to them when I don't really know shit about what curling is. I did figure out the rules. It is a joy to watch. There's something meditative about watching people glide around on the ice without ice skates on because they they're so slow it's very slow yeah it does seem like a very meditative sport i've caught a couple of the uh you know um skating i wanted to say like competitions is not the right word skating performances

on youtube competitions i thought i mean it's holistically a competition. Right. But the different performances, you know, I see all the little new athletes on TikTok. I saw Sean White's retiring. But that's probably the extent of my Winter Olympics news. Yeah. The one thing,

my one impression from the Olympics is that all the stadiums are empty in China. I don't watch a lot of international sports, but I do watch the NBA and all the Toronto Raptors games are empty as well. They have, you know, COVID protocols in place. Starting to make me ask a question. Are Americans for the first time in the history of the world on the wrong side of this thing with our you know stadiums out here uh i actually i got tickets to go see hassan minhaj um show it's a radio city and it's obviously probably going to be packed and i was trying

to sell them to a friend because i was like i don't know if I can actually still make this show. And they were like, silly question, but is it safe? And I was like, honestly, I don't know. You know, like, I don't think so. But the U.S. has said, fuck it. If you're vaccinated, do whatever you want. You will get COVID still, but like, it's fine. Just capital them. Right.

Yeah. It's definitely an interesting feeling. Definitely reminded me of, you know, last week's story about how we're just out here drinking our Mountain Dews, pouring coffee made into our Mountain Dews while everybody in other countries are just like, oh my God, how are you still alive? You recognize we've made that illegal. But anyways, I don't know too many people who are watching them.

I have in the past gotten into the Winter Olympics and might happen again, but. I mean, it said this was the lowest ratings on record for Winter Olympic viewings according to the news this week so today interesting all right rumble is trending uh the latest in the rogan uh i don't know whatever the fuck this is in the rogan saga with the saga of joe rogan um so he has been offered 100 million dollars uh by rumble which is a trump affiliated platform uh they're like you can say whatever you want over here man they they didn't even know that that uh you know edited together clip of all the times that he's not all maybe,

but the many of the times that he is used the N word on his podcast, they didn't even know that was edited together. They thought that was just a straight up one episode. Yeah. Just one episode. They're like, this guy's got some interesting points. Um,

but yeah, I don't know. It feels like you would, this would be maybe a look in the mirror moment for Joe Rogan if he weren't a racist dipshit. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, and gosh, I was running around Soho this weekend and I saw a poster and I couldn't tell if it was an actual ad from Spotify or if it was just like satire art, but it was

a poster of Joe Rogan saying Dr. Rogan Spotify. And I also saw like an ad campaign that I couldn't tell if it was satire or not about basically supporting Rogan's freedom of speech to, you know, be a doctor when he wants, despite lack of any education or degree. So it's been wild to watch, but capitalism is working its hardest at Spotify right now. They cannot back down.

Yeah, but I mean, they back down and rumble. Gets Rogan. Gets Rogan. Who knows? So pantyhose are trending because there is a hack that usually we won't just tell you a single life hack that comes to our attention but this one actually uh is being recommended by uh cambridge university i believe and yeah they published a paper saying like this is actually

the best way to ensure that you are wearing your mask correctly is to put the thigh from a pantyhose over your nose, mouth area like you're a bank robber, which is something I've always wanted to try. Since, you know, I saw a bank robber put pantyhose over their face in an action movie when I was a kid. So I don't know. This might be my moment i will say as a pantyhose wearer they're not cheap enough i think to be doing this that often like a box of pantyhose is like six eight bucks so yeah i mean obviously maybe it'd be like in the um cloth mask you know vein where you wash them and reuse them but if you're using them kind of disposably like you would you know the n95s like they're telling us

we need to wear now not economically the best choice but you know interesting dig maybe i will i have pantyhose that i've ripped maybe i'll try it yeah it does seem like we can't get people to wear masks period let alone put something over their face something like a life hack right exactly so if it had just been like something like you know try holding pantyhose and then you will be i think that would have done the trick but this seems like more work and as we may have mentioned up top we we do live in america they're not they're not interested in anything that's getting in the way of our ability to consume just tons of people with like nachos mashed into the pantyhose at the mouth part. I'm not saying that that's based on personal

experience, but you know. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. 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. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films

and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again.

We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a 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. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.

I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. podcast and we're back and so there's a revelation from last week that i think is worth raising it's always interesting it's always hard to be surprised by anything that comes out about the trump

administration uh especially there at the end when he was kind of more and more transparently trying to overthrow the country. So it seems that he had taken a meeting where he reviewed a draft executive order that authorized the National Guard to seize voting machines. And also in that same meeting, verbally agreed to appoint Sidney Powell, who you might remember as a campaign lawyer and a conspiracy theorist. He had agreed to appoint her as special counsel to investigate election fraud, which I think would have been pretty significant had they happened. And with him, you'd never quite know what was him backing down from a an idea that could have started a civil war and

him getting distracted and forgetting that he had agreed to do something so i don't know it's it's hard to say yeah it is so crazy to think about the past five years because you know now we're you know a year or two out of uh you know the 2020 election and it is just it's like a fever dream and also i feel like i blocked out so much of it sometimes that i can't imagine how many more things there are out there how many things we don't know these are just things that the news is able to grab there's so much behind the elusive red tape of the white house and the cia we just have no idea what happened just the things that we even do know are so scary so and yeah at the bottom i know you have the mar-a-lago thing too that mar-a-lago was raided by the national archives so there's a lot of

evidence of that gathering right now of like letters that he has between um king john like love letters yeah he described them as love letters you know so those are just going to be sweet and cute and uh i think they should be entitled to their own privacy when they're sending little valentines back and forth but yeah this does seem to be something he maybe didn't have fully at the front of his brain when he was uh being the president of the united states that there is more accountability there's more like every document that you handle then gets put into a archive like a national archive that we then have access to and um you know we we had talked years and years ago about how he had a habit of tearing every piece of paper up not every piece of paper but certain

pieces of paper it'll be interesting to see which of those they were and then the national archive was then in charge of taping them back together and there's a bunch of just pieces of paper uh from feeling very national treasure vibes yeah gotta get nicholas cage on the case right but yeah it's i feel like we'll we'll learn some shit it's wild that like i did not know the national archives were uh a thing that rated other things yeah Yeah, me neither. I thought they were just like their own little library. Yeah. They had agents.

Right. But maybe, I don't know, maybe it was just a bunch of librarians like rappelling down the side of Mar-a-Lago and just kicking through with their high heels. I love that vision. Mm-hmm. All right, Kylie Jenner has announced a baby she had a baby black and white photo

very aesthetic uh of having a boy so yeah congrats kylie jenner good for them uh the name has not been announced but i saw a joke around on tiktok that they named it valentine because of valentine's day but who knows is it um i don't get that joke i don't think well because it's around valentine's day like chris jenner was cease and desisting people who were speculating the names because she works so hard you know what is their other child's name? Stormy. Stormy. Damn. Okay.

I don't know how I missed that. That's a big one. I mean, all of the new generation of Kardashians have very interesting names between Saint, Northwest, Chicago, Dream, Stormy. I think I'm missing one. It's really putting together like a real vision board for me like uh i feel like those would all be good like poetry magnets that you could make a nice little poem out of um yeah all right shout out to them shout out to them so moonfall we do have an update on Moonfall. So, we talked about how critics were trying to, you know, take this film down, the cinematic masterpiece, and they had, somebody had tweeted this piece of dialogue. Patrick Wilson, look, I've got my own problems.

Halle Berry, and the moon falling on earth isn't one of them um and i think that question needs to be posed to audiences uh because apparently they ignored this movie as well um nobody went to see moonfall i'm not gonna lie i have no idea what this movie is i am googling it right now i know we've been talking about it and i was kind of like whatever and then now i'm like wait i really don't think i've seen anything about this movie i'm saying hally berry's in it how interesting like what is it about oh becca all right get ready ah strap in um so this is a film from Roland Emmerich who gave us the Independence's Day. Yes, seems that way.

The Day After Tomorrow. A lot of day related films. And, you know, just one of the greats at blowing things up. great at blowing things up um and so this is a movie in which the moon uh falls to earth um we were unclear if that if it's caused by aliens uh or ghosts i hope one of both i hope it's aliens and ghosts also made god. The, the, um, bad one. One of the only movies I've ever walked out on,

uh, 2012 written by. So, you know, one, one of, one of our great visionaries. So definitely was supposed to be a box office hit.

Yeah, it was supposed to be, um, for, for certain. Yeah. The budget was 146 million and the box office numbers for the opening weekend were 10.5 so big oof i feel like people just didn't get the word out that uh they

were gonna get an nft with their uh imax theater ticket which just feels so perfect. Just what a, what a dumb moment we live in. A dumb moment of a very dumb timeline. All right. I mean, there are other things happening, but that's the main one is that people are realizing the moonfall came out this past weekend and they didn't go see it. And I'm sure everybody's rushing to the theaters right now. But before I tell people what to do, let's tell them where they can find you, Becca. they didn't go see it and i'm sure everybody's rushing to the theaters right now but before i tell people what to do uh let's tell them where they can find you becca yeah you can find me and
