That one courtesy of David Lesser on the Discord.
Starting point is 00:02:16 My name is Jack O'Brien. I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Hey. What's going on? We're having it, ladies and germs. How you're doing? How you doing? How you doing? How you doing? This is the episode where we tell you what is trending. Right now, it is Thursday, early-ish, morning-ish for us.
Starting point is 00:02:37 And how are you doing? What's trending in your heart, Miles is, first of all. Trending of my heart, dude. Yeah. You're trending up my heart when I'm with you. Oh, you know what's crazy. I showed my kid the music video Candy by Mandy Moore. love it. He's loving 90s, late 90s, pop music videos right now. How'd you land on that one? Just because he likes candy? No, I got another fucker loves candy. He just has this like really good,
Starting point is 00:03:06 like a wonderful capacity to like remember songs and just start singing them. And like, he started singing Pink Pony Club the other day and we're like, I don't think I played that around you. And then like we did once randomly. And he was just kind of singing the melody. you're like, let's get him into some more pop shit. He liked the Pink Pony Club music video, but like the 90s ones are so colorful. Yeah, saturate.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Like the way it's lit, it's just everything is like perfectly lit from all angles. I think the wannabe music video for Spice Girls is like a long runner the way it's shot. It's one of our great films. Just running through that like estate. And he was fucking floored by that one. So yeah. Demi did you,
Starting point is 00:03:51 eBay had a show that I think still is going on, but he's no longer co-hosting called Punch Up the Jam. And they did where they would like take the stems and like really dive into a song that they liked and then also rewrite the lyrics to it. But like they played the stems for wannabe that Spice Girl song. And I was like fucking blown away. Oh really? Yeah. It's like it sounds amazing. Like when you just like break it down to its component parts.
Starting point is 00:04:20 what a song that's where our culture peaked I'm gonna say it yeah spice girls want to be so tell me what you want what you really really want I want a spoken word version of that
Starting point is 00:04:35 done at my funeral please it's funny when you watch it now and I'm like it's so funny to see how they hide the non-dancing spice girls in the back yeah do it quick they'll do like one move and then cut away
Starting point is 00:04:48 bro posh She, you were there to be posh. We get that. You would dance. They were like, come on, we got to go. We got to go. Posh, do that thing. Kick your leg out and point that arm straight up in the air to the side.
Starting point is 00:04:59 That's right. Okay, moving on. Move, move, move, move. Get her to the back. Get her to the back. She doesn't know all the choreography. Insider trading. I chose for the trending title because I just do it.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Trump derangement syndrome. Because I got Trump derangement syndrome. And the reporting on. what he's been up to has been pretty wild. So I just, like, we've made offhanded reference to it.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Um, but I, I really needed to just like see the details of it to like have it fully locked in for me. Um, that on January 6th, he purchased between 500,000 and one million Nvidia stock. Oh, a week later,
Starting point is 00:05:43 the Commerce Department announced permission for Nvidia to sell chips to China. Like, it's just so on the nose. It's like everything is just like right ahead of a decision that he has sway over, that he has inside access to the information. He's buying up stock. That's unfair. Yeah, he has inside information, but also he's really into AI techs, AI technology and chips, dude. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And chips. It's all he talks about, dude. When he says everything's computer, he gets it. It's just that over and over again. We just like got to look at January. and January is that over and over again. Like he bought a bunch of stock in AMD, another AI chip maker right before they too were granted
Starting point is 00:06:27 the right to sell in China. He purchased shares in Palantir for between 65,000 and 150,000 days before that company secured a billion dollar contract to provide service to the Department of Homeland Security, which was a pretty big decision for all of our sakes and future. Yeah, for all of our asses.
Starting point is 00:06:47 but shares an axon, a taser manufacturing firm. And coincidentally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced a plan to spend $200 million over five years on new tasers soon after that. So it's just,
Starting point is 00:07:05 you know, exactly. I mean, it is sort of what in line with the deal that his supporters made with themselves, I feel like, where they're like, yeah, he's a selfish businessman that he gets away with it.
Starting point is 00:07:17 But it is just, just like so on the nose blatantly corrupt at a time when people are more and more awakening to the reality that things are financially fucked because all the decisions, all the important decisions are being made by the wealthiest people in the world. And you know what? And they deserve it, dude. And they earned it. And I won't define it. And just in case that 65,000, to 150,000 seems small. I don't know if this got cut, but we were talking about it yesterday
Starting point is 00:07:53 with Joey Clift, possibly before we were recording. But the idea that Trump, like the magazine, spy magazine as a test, was like mailing out checks to the richest people in New York. And they like started with a check for $100 and then down to 50. And they were just seeing like who would cash those checks.
Starting point is 00:08:16 and it just went down, so $50, $25, all the way down to $25, then 10 cents, then $0,000, then $0.000, then a penny. Which of these millionaires were cashing these checks? And wouldn't you know, Donald Trump was the only person who was cashing them all the way to the one penny check? Because that's, he knows nothing else. That's the game, dude.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Yeah, he's got no breaks. on his capitalism game, which seems bad for all of us. But you all knew that. What you might not have known is who was going through to the finals in Survivor and Jeff Probst spoil it for all of us.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Wait, how do you, like on social media or something? No, on the show. So a big part of the Survivor season finale was, you know, live. This is something they do from time to time where they'll have people on stage. And he spoiled the ending during the show. So, like, the decision to air it live was apparently dictated by a fan vote. And at one point, he brought out a contestant and revealed both the winner and the loser of the firemaking competition,
Starting point is 00:09:42 which determines, like, who makes it to the final three. even though they hadn't actually aired that segment yet. But because it was live, they couldn't just be like, oh, he didn't know where they were in the show, essentially, or his producers didn't. So let's just play the clip real quick. So you become the final member of our jury. Take a spot over here.
Starting point is 00:10:03 This is it. These are the people, their games fell a little short, but this is the group that is going to. So you hear gasps in the crowd. So he says, go sit with them. and people are like, wait, why is he sitting with them? Because these are the people that lost their challenge. Because he's about to participate in this challenge
Starting point is 00:10:24 like that is on tape delay, but he's about to participate in this thing where it's going to determine if he makes it. And he's like, and so sit with the losers. These are the people who came up a little short and you hear, and then here, watch his reaction. Okay, one more time from the gas. People, their games fell a little short,
Starting point is 00:10:45 but this is the group that is going to figure out what just happened. Probst is a showman. The fire hasn't happened yet. Huh? I'm not even sure what's happened, but up next, we're going to have one final surprise for the players and this surprise they like. This is going to be interesting. Dude, the Tom Cruise energy.
Starting point is 00:11:09 That guy in the bench is like, what the fuck was that, dude? He's just thinking of like, hey, how did you fuck that up? Yeah. Oh, my God. So then there's a little bit of confusion, huh, after this? Yeah, there's confusion. He plays it off like a pro. He's like, and that was the last twist of the season was that I spoiled it.
Starting point is 00:11:27 He's got... So Prophs is there. People are finding out. So he's talking to the crowd. I came out too soon and they said, yeah. And he said, oh, that's pretty fucked up. If Proops doesn't give a fuck, he's on season 50, you know. Pops just fucking cleaned up on Calci and Polly Market at the same damn time is what fucking
Starting point is 00:12:00 happened right there. Some people defended Props by pointing out that he may not be on his game because his brother died like a week ago, which is just like fucked up to have to even, why is he working then, guys, what the fuck? Yeah. And then also... That's fucked. But I thought he was kind of...
Starting point is 00:12:19 Was a pro. Figured it out. It also doesn't seem like it's his decision. Like, he's not in charge of scheduling when to bring people out. No, and I'm sure he's had the run of show. Probably fucked up in his head when, like, whatever package was supposed to air before the live... Whatever.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I just like, the funniest thing was just to have that audience go... And him, like, react immediately and be like, what? Wait. What did I do? What does happen? Keep moving. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter. Yeah, he's got big CEO energy.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Yeah, I don't even know. These guys are crazy over here anyways. We're going to keep it moving. Everybody's look. But, uh, do you have piss on my pants again? No. All right. What do you guys fucking hemming on?
Starting point is 00:13:02 What the fuck? They're like the fire. They haven't showed the fire yet. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Anyway, so this is a good also metaphor for what it's like to exist in America around survivor fans and like have them but they hadn't shown the fire yet and so therefore and you're just kind of like
Starting point is 00:13:22 oh oh oh damn that it's it's I mean for a show or like it's supposed to be revealed and that they just fuck that up I get why people just think wow yeah no I get it too I just for for me as a non-survivor I've only seen season one two and then like a random one three years ago.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Saw I round them, mate. And then random clips of race wars. The one that my sister-in-law was on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I watched that whole one beginning to end, and I did, I did get it. I get, I get the appeal. It's a, it's a fun. The races against each other.
Starting point is 00:14:02 That's what I'm saying. Like, not, I didn't take away from that that I want to watch more Survivor. I was like, we need more of these race competitions. Am I right? Finally understood David Stern's vision of the NBA. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about Walmart.

What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. writing a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
Starting point is 00:15:24 I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
Starting point is 00:15:43 where people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notes. Notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and Friends.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel. help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.

Starting point is 00:16:29 or wherever you get your podcasts. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchen won. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.
Starting point is 00:16:55 She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis Podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:17:14 or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. And we're back. Yeah. And so Walmart had big earnings report, which we were all on the edge of our seat because we're all, you know, big investor. Yeah, absolutely. And like, because they are the, you know, nation's largest private employer, you get to learn a lot about what's happening in America. and I guess this, I don't know if you've heard the news, Jack, people are under financial stress.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Now, there are some reports that say that. And that would be good for Walmart's earnings. And so the only way that affects me is that I'm doubling down on my Walmart investments, Miles. I asked the facilities manager of my estate if he was under financial stress. And he said, things are going great for him. And so I was like, well, if my own facilities manager of my estate is doing okay, And that's the poorest person I know. And you did ask him, you're not under financial stress, are you?
Starting point is 00:18:21 Are you? And I said that when he asked for a meager raise. Right. Yeah. What are you under financial stress? Yeah. No, no, no, no. Your weight is not enough?
Starting point is 00:18:31 Do you need help managing your money? Because I could give you some advice on that, maybe. More money? Quit buying those weird grills for your daughter. Those are braces for her teeth. Yeah, all right, full. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Whatever. You're going for some baller shit, dude, and you're not even pulling it off. She ain't Paul Wall. But anyway, all jokes aside, they had their first quarter earnings report, and they said, hey, man, revenue rose 7.3%. And also same store sales grew 4.1%. Hey. And they're like, okay, great, great, great.
Starting point is 00:19:03 But they are saying that it's like, you know, they are, they're like, but we can tell that consumers are under pressure. fuel costs are a huge indication. We're also getting a lot of high income. We're getting new people coming into Walmart because prices are so fucked that it's expanding our customer base. They said, quote, the high income customer is spending with confidence into many categories,
Starting point is 00:19:29 while the lower income consumer is more budget conscious and perhaps navigating financial stress. The one thing that they said, here's how we know people are broke. quote, the number of gallons that customer fill up with when they come to our fuel stations fell below 10 for the first time since 2022. That's an indication of stress. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:54 We had to. Guys, we got some troubling data here that we, apparently, and this is the first place for seeing. Yeah. This is how America experiences financial stress is Walmart earnings are up. Yeah. Because more poor people are having to shop there. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:20:14 they can't even go to Kroger. I mean, wow. And also the Brokeys are buying less than 10 gallons of gas. Holy shit. Yeah. Yeah. So news for them.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Not sure what that means for their overall business plan. They're probably like, it's probably going to be like the same thing with Disney. Or they're like, oh, man, fuck the poor people. Like, if rich people are going to pay more than it.
Starting point is 00:20:36 If rich people come here? Crank up the fucking volume on everything. Crank it. up, man. We're not rolling back prices, motherfucker. We're rolling them up. The people who greet you are no longer the elderly. They get like young looks maxing people at the door. They'll be there. Yeah, chub the builder. Yeah, yeah. Just, we're trying to create a luxury brand around Walmart. We're not rolling back prices. We're rolling up the consumer in a split. Smoking on y'all. Senate Republicans, how are we feeling? There's been some new numbers out.
Starting point is 00:21:11 that, you know, Donald Trump's polling just keeps going lower and lower, impossibly low. I think 31% was the latest number I saw. Oh, for approval? Wow. Yeah, 31. It's new, you know, asking a Robbins, baby. Yeah, 31, 31 percentage flavors. I mean, I think, you know, the big thing that Senate Republicans have been talking about
Starting point is 00:21:32 and everyone's been, like, wondering, like, this $1 billion price tag, they're trying to sneak into a bill to pay for the fucking ballroom slash militias. the Terry Heidi hole where the East Wing once stood. And apparently Republicans have taken their time and to finally realize that this plan would not be a good look for their already not good midterm prospects. Quote, Senate Republican leaders are expected to ditch a $1 billion proposal for security measures tied to Donald Trump's White House ballroom following a backlash from members of their own party. Under pressure from Trump, top Republican lawmakers tried to latch the proposal onto a $70 billion. bill to restore funding to ICE and the Border Patrol. But the plan prompted intense anxiety among congressional Republicans who feared diverting
Starting point is 00:22:18 taxpayer dollars towards Trump's East Wing modernization project amid mounting cost of living concerns across the U.S. would risk alienating voters ahead of the midterms. And grocery prices are allegedly about to go up. Yeah. I didn't realize that the Walmart, even though their money went up, they, it was worse than expected outlook from Walmart. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I mean, I didn't want to bring that up because that's between us, the stockholders to figure out if we need new leadership installed. That's right. Yeah, man. Seems bad, like a bad time to be focused on building a new ballroom and golf course. It's because, I mean, I think it's just so funny. Like, we're watching these people trying to reconcile their absolute disconnect from working people's realities.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Yeah. Like, they're like, what the, oh, yeah, I guess it's bad. I mean, I knew people are, I mean, I know the prices are going up. I just don't know what that means for their human experience. So I just figure they think, oh, yeah, we're proving a billion dollars for a thing, that they're not going to care. And they do. They do care.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Turns out. And we're just learning this through our earnings reports, the only reports that I pay attention to. Oh, yeah, yeah. Miles, what do I always say money talks? And you also say salaries are for suckers. Salaries are. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:40 We should have said that to Joey when he was talking about lifting yesterday. I was like, yeah, I'm into gains, dude. Unrealized gains on my stocks. Yeah, we're going to be talking about some unrealized gains tomorrow. You know what I'm talking about? I mean, yeah, I think I'm just talking about Jeff Bayser's a strategy for not paying. You just show me you have one huge calf muscle on your life. I'm like, what the fuck, dude?
Starting point is 00:24:03 I think that's a tumor, man. I didn't realize how crazy. I didn't realize how bad this was. Gaines were on this one. Katie Miller's podcast. Still out here rocking. Still really good, I'd say. I mean, we tried to have a meeting with her, but she just
Starting point is 00:24:22 wouldn't budge on me. Still the best out here doing it. Hey, Katie, we love you. No, it's just funny because her podcast is just, she continues to just have these cabinet members on or people on, and the episodes always render some weird soundbite of like
Starting point is 00:24:37 finding about about her husband, only like, like loving to eat mayonnaise and copious amounts or just people just telling on themselves in these weird ways trying to be relatable. And it's like a combination of like a political insider talk show and like midnight out like the freak show at like a carnival in the 30s where she's like bring out the freak and I'll give you a little I'll give you a little spoonful of details of my freak husband and like what he's like behind closed door. Yeah, sometimes he'll bite the head off her raw.
Starting point is 00:25:10 chicken. Yeah. And then he'll eat the head. Yeah. He can all. But she had Energy Secretary Chris Wright on one of the, like, whenever we've covered those like dear leader roundtable meetings, Chris Wright is consistently debasing himself before the God emperor to be like, sir, under your leadership. We did not even have electricity prior to you being our God. So he was on with his wife, Liz, and Katie Miller, perfect question to ask. I got to say, this is she's doing good work. Because he goes, what's a conspiracy
Starting point is 00:25:44 theory that you believe in? And you're like, oh, God, you're asking fucking congressional, you're talking Republican cabinet members about a conspiracy theory they believe in. Let's find out what it is. It's, I honestly can't wait.
Starting point is 00:26:02 It kind of fits in with the body cam thing that they were trying to have preschool teachers do. But here's Liz Wright. taking it away. What's a conspiracy theory that you believe in? I am not a conspiracy theory person. I wouldn't even, unless I say political, and I think conspiracies at the teachers unions want to keep the students stupid so they can control them and turn them into Democrats. But that's a good conspiracy theory. That's a new one we haven't heard yet. That's a new one we haven't third yet. It's just sort of like, it's sort of underpins all of
Starting point is 00:26:33 our policy decisions. I haven't heard that one. That's reality, Liz. That is. what Katie was about to say. So popular with rich people especially. That was something from the Steve Jobs episode that I didn't have time to get to. But he met with Obama once and Steve Jobs and like immediately started ranting about teachers unions. Like how teachers unions are the thing that's the problem with America. That was his first complaint. I mean, yeah, the idea that teachers who are pretty much, they have a thankless job in this country. country, taking care of our kids every day educating them. That, yeah, that that union, that their goal is that, I mean, our whole thing is we want more money so the kids can be fucking stupid. Right. You know, that's what that's what we're trying to do. But I just did like the thing. It's like, so they can control them and turn them into Democrats.
Starting point is 00:27:29 It's so fucking. It's really good. Okay. Okay. Okay. Speaking of conspiracy theories, there's a pro golfer. heard of Bryson de Shambo?
Starting point is 00:27:40 No. He's like a controversial figure. He's like had feuds with some of the better pro golfers, I think. I only like, I vaguely hear about him from my friends who are into golf and immediate. Like it's like I, before I can turn my brain off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:58 You know, I just like get a little, little snippet. But anyways, he's apparently good friends with Donald Trump and also just keeps fucking up. He missed out on the cut. at the Masters and the USPGA championship, which is like worse than missing the playoffs
Starting point is 00:28:14 because it's like more than half of, or I guess it's exactly the same as missing the playoffs and like professional basketball. He keeps missing the playoffs. And he went on Katie Miller's podcast this week. One clip from the show has gone viral in it. He expresses his doubts. So she has these people on and is like,
Starting point is 00:28:35 what's one conspiracy there you believe in over and over again? His answer was he has his doubts about the moon landing, but he does believe, and this is, again, she keeps finding new conspiracy theories that we haven't heard before. Believe that people have visited the moon, but he doesn't think that the footage is real. So they did the work of getting there, the really hard thing,
Starting point is 00:29:01 but they faked the footage. That's the dumbest. Like, all right, let me, Jack, please, and I don't wait a, to twist his words. Okay, let me hear from Mr. Rochambe. Do you believe they actually played golf on the moon?
Starting point is 00:29:14 Oh, I don't. Here we. I don't know. Look, Elon says we've definitely gone there, so I... And he's my God. Because he's the man that knows quite a bit about all that. Artemis just went around the moon. So I do believe if we spent a lot of our resources, like they say we did, I think we did. I don't think the footage is real, but I think we
Starting point is 00:29:38 Wow, she's like, you're fucking Yeah, I read the footage. It's quite wild. She's like belly laughing at this stage. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? It is such a lukewarm thing to be like, because the offensive thing about being like, we never went to the moon is like sort of just completely
Starting point is 00:29:56 denying the science of it all. Right. Whereas he's like, yeah, we got there. Just like the, that one video's fit. The production quality was not, it was not there. It's like you're trying to sound reasonable while being a total moron at the same time. You're like, well, I'm not
Starting point is 00:30:10 going to be out here and deny that we got to the moon, but I have to hold on to that little piece that the fucking footage is fake. Fucking golfers, man. Fucking golfers. And finally, speaking of production quality, RIP, Stephen Colbert's final episode
Starting point is 00:30:26 will air tonight. Yeah, yeah. Great night's sweet prince. Thank you, Barry Wyss. Very wise. Very nice. Apparently there's going to be a, there's like a lot talk about maybe a shakeup over her leadership at CBS.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And I'm failing to understand why. Could it be? Because like they're just shooting themselves in the foot constantly and being like, hey, this thing isn't making as much money with all these wacky decisions we're making. Hey, every decision you've made has crashed the plane into the side of a mountain. Is that, was that on purpose?
Starting point is 00:30:58 Can you explain that at all? I don't know. I'm totally ill-equipped for the position you put me in. And we have noticed that. On the conservative side of things, well, it's just a wilderness of errors and fuckups just everywhere. The people who get fired for them tend to be women. So, yeah, she's probably.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Yeah, that sucks for Colbert. I mean, like, this is like, you know, truly one of the last remaining late night talk shows. And I think our whole, you know, PR machine has sort of shifted away from like, you go on late night to pitch a show to now being. like you go on a podcast to pitch a show. Disgusting. Podcasts. God.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Guys, don't, don't come here. We don't know anything. I mean, we haven't. Is it just Fallon at this point? Yes. No,
Starting point is 00:31:52 Kimmel. Kimmel. Kimmel. Kimmel and Fallon. The last Jimmy's. The two genders. Kimmel and Fallon. The two final genders.
Starting point is 00:32:02 You will be sorted into two categories. Are you a Kimmel or are you, which is actually kind of fitting. It's like, what flavor of liberal are you? Yeah. I pet Donald Trump's head. I don't know how dangerous this is. I just want everybody to have fun.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Like, we actually, we like go out of our way to, like, be a political actually on the show. So, like, we're just like trying to have fun, you know, and like try to lipstick with anybody who wants to. I got to knock at my door. Someone's got a bunch of military equipment. They're kicking it down. What's going on? Oh. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:33:00 To see Conan do Like doing a more mainstream version of the late night show that he was already doing was like probably 100th on my list, you know? And like I've just always felt like this is probably not the best use
Starting point is 00:33:16 of these people's talents. Conan's podcast is incredible. Like just letting them be very funny in ways that people, it really feels like we're coasting off inertia that like these late night shows are like phone books. You know, they're just hanging around because they were,
