How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? It's right here in black and white in print. They lie. It's bigger than a flag or mascot.

Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of I Got Trends in Low Places, courtesy of Paj Moran, Moran, Moran. And I'm Jack, and that's Miles. And hey, this here is what's trending. Stevie Nicks is trending. She completed the loop on this whole dreams TikTok. Dogface420, Nate Apodaca, whatever you want

to call this vibration of 2020. Mick Fleetwood got in on it. Stevie Nicks was not about to be bested and left behind when especially it's her motherfucking voice that really is giving us the oomph of that entire track of dreams and it's so she joined tiktok and the video is her lacing on some roller skates roller skates like one of those like um portable like record players blasting dreams on it and she's like singing along and she just kind of laces up her skates and it's just kind of like looking at camera like she's

like you see there's cranberry juice by my feet so i've done the meme huh okay and these are wheels on my feet so mean complete strange look she's 72 72. She's not really up on fucking TikTok culture. I don't think either of them should be on any sort of wheeled thing. No. Unless it's a mobility assistance thing. What was Mick Fleetwood filming on when he did that? Because he was gliding. Yeah.

I'm sure he was in the back of a truck or something. On a Jazzy. Yeah. I have no idea. I was worried for him. was like to be honest like the dad in me worried for uh nate apodaca during that first video i was like yo watch look at behind you like i'm just gonna take one lip to send you off that thing right which there was a string of fail videos of people clearly not being good at longboarding and trying to remake the video and just hitting like the lip of a curb or like trying to go up a ramp part off the

like from street to sidewalk and just flying off the fucking front so those are my favorite but stevie nicks could have used some cocaine to turn that video up you know yeah little boof it as she as she's one to do boof a gram for the gram and then maybe you will get viral i mean look whatever she's already got her checks it's like just just chill stevie you doing yeah i don't all these people just collect your check don't i know you didn't want to do it you look like you didn't want to do it stevie that's the thing i think that upsets me is like when some fucking rep is like you should get in on this right now stevie i that that's my question is who is behind this who is motivating these folks to like get involved to jump on the tiktok wave is

it their grandchildren like that's i always picture a grandchild behind the scenes and if so i love it i love that they're having some like activity with the kiddos uh you know and just you know doing a fun video project mick fleetwood's just a shit grandpa he's like do what no shit no i don't have time for that with mick it might be his girlfriend but uh right or then and then he but he's like the kind of dude be like that's a bad idea and then a couple hours later do it and like what the fuck was that, man? You just ripped my head off. Fuck you, grandpa.

Yeah. Anyways, they're living their best life off of, you know. Those albums never stopped selling. Like, they created some classics. And now, yeah, man. They're like, that made up for them not being, like, doing the, like, arena tours of, like, Kings of Leon do. We're like, we're missing out on that Kings of doing the like arena tours of like the Kings of Leon do. We're like, we're missing out on that Kings of Leon arena money, man.

All right, fuck it. This viral video. It's just enough to keep it going. A. Koba is also trending. Amy Coney Barrett. Any commie barrel. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. She is a commie. I'll tell you what. Army compost barnacle. Because of all these red flags she's thrown up left and right. She might as well be. Yeah. All right.

So the thing that seems like it's going under, I don't know, pursued on behalf of the Democrats is how anti-democratic every aspect of this is. And I don't know, maybe I'm missing and they're actually doing this and it's just not getting covered that much. But the majority of the country is against this hearing. Every poll says the majority of the country wants them to wait until after the election.

The lowest one is like 6 in 10 saying no wait till the election yeah and then the things that she has like either shown to be in favor of or like said she's in favor of uh she would further dismantle obamacare uh uphold abortion limits uh invalidate most regulations on guns, and back corporations over individuals in most legal matters, would not recuse herself from a case involving Trump's election, even as the president has implied that he wants Barrett confirmed. So these are all things that are wildly unpopular. So it's really becoming, you know, the,

the thing like that Republic over democracy, uh, argument is really coming into focus. Like the Republicans are for a Republic and not, uh, the will of the people they want. They want, uh, you know,

a law that tells everybody what to think and what to yeah, and basically said, quote, you're not aware of any effort to go back to the good old days of segregation by a legislative body. Is that correct? And he was being sarcastic, trying to be flippant

by saying the good old days, but quite literally was like, apparently he wanted to assuage people's fears that this is sort of what the end game is and it's almost like yeah they probably won't do it through a legislative body because they're looking for a different system in which to enact things like that but it was a very just weird moment uh where you know everyone is just kind of being like yeah look uh here it is this

is white supremacist this could be white supremacy's last stand in a way yeah it won't be white supremacist last stand who am i kidding no yeah we're gonna have to beat that out via war it seems like unfortunately macron what's going on with him why is he trending well france i think in a further indication that we are nowhere close to being out of the woods in any country i mean unless you're fucking new zealand fucking kiwi fucks with their two cases a year whatever the fuck it was did you see that uh picture from the football yeah i saw it from the fuck was ruggers or whatever they were doing yeah um yeah but macron had to declare a public health state of emergency in france um because you know the pandemic continues and cases are rising hospitalizations are increasing and this is like as everyone was predicting there's going to be a

resurgence uh going into the winter and we're starting to see bits and pieces here and there. So yeah, it's, you know, really, honestly, I fucking feel so bad for the frontline health workers who, like, even though we stopped seeing those clips of people so dejected and exhausted from the sheer volume of people coming in for care, we're still, these people are still fighting the same battle. And yes, granted, the ways we're doing treatment have become a bit more refined as like we've learned a bit more.

We're still not fully knowing what's happening. There's a report that someone in the UK just experienced sudden permanent hearing loss as one of, as a symptom or something that occurred because of them connected to their COVID infection. So we're still like, there's just so many things we're still learning. And I can't imagine anyone can see headlines like that and feel really good about being like, yeah, we need to go full throttle into everything versus trying to like protect each other and protect people who shouldn't have to put themselves at risk.

And I just want to keep reiterating that. who shouldn't have to put themselves at risk. And I just want to keep reiterating that. Yeah. And meanwhile, Donald Trump is out there throwing out hats and dancing with people and saying he wants to kiss them, kiss all the women. That's when I kiss you.

Even the men. I don't care. I don't give a fuck. I'm nasty. And then Mike Lee at the at the uh amy coney barrett uh confirmation hearing just you know taking his mask off talking chatting it up you know he tested these are both people who tested positive like literally on top of chuck grassley's head i was i was joking on the aka the other day when I was singing Queen, I was talking about sneezing on Chuck Grassley's head.

I saw that picture of Mike Lee and Lindsey Graham talking to old ass Chuck Grassley. I'm like, y'all really don't, okay, whatever. They just like don't care. They don't care. Yeah. I mean, there's an article that was very true. It's like, actually, if you really think about it, the GOP is actually quite verifiably pro-coronavirus. Right.

Yeah. Like you can actually point to more things that would say in a binary, they are pro. I mean, is there any chance the president is out here just seeding battleground states with coronavirus

so that voter turnout is lower on election day? Because as part of his voter suppression efforts. That's a question we all have to ask ourselves man you know yeah get scully and molder on it billy eilish is trending because trash ass internet trolls she was photographed not in baggy clothing and immediately so she wears baggy clothing uh as a style choice and also to avoid body shaming.

And they found a picture of her not wearing baggy clothes and immediately started body shaming her. Oh, risque, showing a lot of skin. Oh, look at her curves. She's 18, man. Leave her alone. If anything, come after the outfit she was wearing. You know, those fear of God shorts and Gucci socks with Yeezy slides make you look like somebody who doesn't vote um but you know yeah but i get it she's 18 that's how that's how a hypebeast dress and you know what when you're making that much money they probably i she's

always dripping in gucci you know what i mean yeah oh for sure the drip is out of control which is funny because even when that outfit i'm like yo i'm shorts are like 200 bucks i'm fucking slides i'm socks like they do not look it looks like something that you like i would accidentally wear to bed just because i put on my what i was sleeping in in the dark yeah closet while i sleep for an outfit that is actually a bit of a flex to for hypebeasts um to the to an elder person who doesn't know what any of these brands are would be like, what? That's an expensive outfit?

Yeah. Those are just sweatshorts. That is a pretty good impression of me. And finally, Ice Cube is trending. Oh, man. What can we say? Ice Cube, I Cube is trending. Oh, man. What can we say? Yeah.

Ice Cube, I don't know. He, so. Doing the devil's work. Yeah. One of Trump's minions said that Ice Cube was on board for the platinum plan. For the platinum plan, that whole Trump administration re-election plan to get black people to get on the MAGA train with his platinum plan. Hey, hop on the white supremacy powered MAGA train, black America. Come on in. It's fine-ish until you really look closely and you're like what is this

and then uh so ice cube is actually you know working with them and has announced that he's you know helping out with it and it's not he's not saying he supports trump or that he supports biden he's yeah he said both parties are trash and he actually said he met with both parties because he said because both parties have done nothing for black america and yeah that's that's definitely true uh like to differing degrees uh but i think there i think i don't know if he knows this but they're using him as a total pawn to be like you see black people this black guy also thinks joe biden is bad and even trump is bad so i don't know maybe you sit this one out i don't know i don't know listen to him this is this is the guy from uh are we there yet uh you know very very uh seminal piece of culture in hip-hop so um please please

listen are we there yet would be his most seminal piece of culture you think i think for hip-hop yeah absolutely i can't think of a film ice cube has been in or inspired that has been more seminal to lyrics and anything in hip-hop than are we there yet or no maybe are we there yet too yeah i would that's what that was my one because i remember people were like oh are we gonna get the soft we can get the sophomore curse on are we there yet too and you know what he showed us him and nia Long showed us he never misses comparing are we there yet and are we there yet too is a little like the LeBron Jordan
