This is the episode where we tell you what is trending on this Tuesday morning, afternoon, whenever the fuck you're listening to it. Big news from last night, Donald Trump slept through the Knicks game that he insisted on going to and subsequently clearly cursed.

So. Yeah. I mean, good luck charm for the Spurs, I guess, is what he did there. Or maybe Donald Trump is just so bad for. everything, that his mere presence would throw the nicks off of their fucking winning streak. Yeah, I mean, in many ways, it felt like they, it gave them something to kind of all gather around, you know, like the way that a bad, a mean coach gives people something to like come together to hate. He was lustily booed. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, the whole thing was as big as shit show as everyone was expecting.

crowds were forced to wait for hours outside due to Madison Square Gardens enhanced security measures even employees had to show up there was a one hour wait for Madison Square Garden staff as early as 925 a.m.

So it's 12 hours before the game started. You had to wait for an hour. And players were also subjected to TSA-style security checks. I mean, that makes sense. I mean, we all remember when Gila Rana's and Javaris Crittenden pulled straps on each other in the locker room in 2009. That's true. Part of me was like, I mean, I have heard of players bringing guns into the locker room, but not for political reasons.

It's for gambling debt. I thought you were going to say we all remember naked gun because that. Oh, yes, yes, of course, of course, of course. Who was the dude who went Manchuring candidate? Reggie Jackson. Yeah, Reggie Jackson. I must kill the queen. the queen.

I must kill. It's so funny. The assassination of the queen by Reggie Jackson. I also would have accepted the last Boy Scout. You remember that? That opening, we're a football player.

Hell yeah. Just runs on the field with a handgun for some reason. And Deerrim Fox, point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, said, I think the president being here just makes it inconvenient on

everybody else. We've got more, obviously more security. We've got to send stuff early. I think our buses are a little earlier. The less stuff you can bring, the better. Obviously, we're getting screened like it's TSA. A little inconvenient for the people that's got to play. It is what it is.

Yeah. Yeah. A little. It is. It is what it is. I mean, they shut down like the whole, like a really gigantic area, right? It wasn't just sort of like the blocks or like one block perimeter around. the garden. No, it was

a secure area between West 30th Street and West 35th Street and stretching from 6th to 8th Avenue, which is a massive chunk of the city. That's... It's here it came, dude. Yeah. And massive, mate.

It's absolutely massive. It's massive. No one was allowed to so much as walk inside the perimeter without proving that they had a ticket to the game, a train ticket. or are going to a business inside the area. And again, like, if you're going to catch your train, you had to deal with, like, airport level TSA.

Could you just go around the back of Penn Station? No. I guess, like, if you're, you could, oh, wow, okay. I don't think so. You're talking about, like, going underground? You think that they were like, oh, there's an underground way to get in here? No, like, if you're approaching from above, right? Like, so then you don't have to go through that security air, well, whatever.

either way. I think they had like a multiple block buffer on every side of Madison Square Garden. Fuck, all that. So how do you prove you have business somewhere? You're like, I have business at Sinebun. I'll have you know. Right. Probably just like being a middle-aged white guy.

They're like, yeah, this guy's going to Ska, Bun for sure. This guy looks like he's got business. Somebody did look up the movie theaters in the, Green Zone, the Donald Trump wanting to go to a basketball green zone, and found that there was one person, a solitary human who had bought a ticket for the Mandalorian and Grogu and was sitting just all by himself at 10.30 at night, but had to like go through a massive police screening. Could you imagine? It's an empty theater of one person.

I'm just trying to be a creep and watch Mandalorian and Grogu by my. self and I had to go through this shit. Yeah. Anyways, the Knicks lost. So I just, I don't know that non-N NBA fans kind of fully appreciate the heater that the Knicks were on. Yeah. They were on a, the historic heater. Like, they had the best 13 game run in the history of the NBA heading into this game.

It was happening in the playoffs, like the best possible time for it to happen. They were a juggernaut. And then Trump shows up and it's an immediate L is pretty, it's pretty wild. They were, ah, and that anger, it was multi-level, right? Because them losing means they couldn't sweep and win that shit in New York. Right. Yeah. And I know that was something that would have been, if you're scripting it as a Knicks fan,

you want to win it in your city the day it happens. But I wonder now, I mean, what? Because the closest they'll do is, game five and that'll be in San Antonio. Probably not the best. Man, I, there was some, there was some outrageous fan behavior outside though. There's, I saw a couple, there's a dude in a Spurs jersey who got, they were like, take that shit off. And I'm like, oh boy, this is not, this is not where you want to be with angry fucking Knicks fans. No. After that, that winning street getting snapped. And then there was

one live streamer who was like celebrating. I'm like, bro, you're fucking asking for trouble. I'm not condoning. A spurs fan. Yeah, I'm not condoning fan. That shit is bullshit. Let people just watch sports. Like, I get, I get the tribalism of it all. But, like, at the end of the day, it's sports ball.

Unless someone's fucking with you, like, on a physical level, then just, like, fucking leave it all. That's one thing I really appreciated about, like, being in Europe and stuff. Most of the time, I would say 99% of the time interactions just end with banter. They're like, oh, oh, you lost? You're like, yeah, all right, man. Carry on. A bit of a chat, mate.

Yeah. Bit of like banter, mate. And then this one dude was like provoking a fucking gigantic crowd. And then like started running from them. They caught him. They tried to rip his jersey off. It was just all for the fucking clicks, man. Don't do it.

Don't do it. Not over this shit. The, you know, watching the live telecast of the game, it was pretty evident that he was getting lustily booed in the stadium. There's also the free Bryant Park watch party. where people who people like don't have to be in Epstein's black book to get a ticket and so it's just like normal people and it was even more definitive there.

Oh yeah. The erupts in during the national anthem was pretty pretty unequivocal what they were getting at. Here I think we have people are singing around singing along feeling patriotic guys killing it they show Trump there are multiple people flicking off of jumbo tron

yeah flicking off the jumbo tron and like shaking their fists like an angry cartoon like Mr. Wilson so many people were doing some version of no they were saying boo urns yes yeah yeah you know because he He came out and was like, it was very enthusiastic.

I don't know if it was booze or what. I don't know. Like, so my question is like, is he just being cheeky? Is he being a cheeky bugger? Is he actually believe that? Or did Dolan,

you know, the New York Knicks owner slash billionaire who was sitting next to, uh, have it like piped in so that it sounded like cheers to him? No clue. No, everything is.

possible. Anything is possible. Everything is possible. I think probably just knowing him, he knows that he's not liked, but he's not going to, he'll try and be cheeky about it. Like, he'll kind of acknowledge it, but he'll never be like, oh man, that kind of, they were booing me. Man, they really don't like me. He was doing like a big shit eating grin the second that he, like, the second they started booing him. So I think, I think he probably got the message. Some people were like, it wasn't even necessarily political. Like if Ben Stiller had inconvenienced every single ticket holder to that degree, they would have booed him to. But I don't know if it quite that level is pretty definitive.

This is different. I don't know if Ben Stiller is causing as much strife across the globe as Donald Trump. But man, it looked like Trump had a, he was, it would seem like a riveting game just based on how he was. Yeah, he appeared to fall asleep during the, during the game, like on TV. Like him and Dolan. Him and Dolan both looked pretty sleepy. Yeah. How does he, he like makes, it's not just that he is sleepy as fuck.

It's that, like, he makes people around him sleepy. Bro, Dolan is simping, bro, and he's trying to be like, oh, I'm going to sit too. I got to match the energy of the president. Yeah, I was sleeping too, bro. That's what you do at the Knicks finals game, bro. It's normal. Wee Willie winky-ass bitch, you know? Wee willie winky.

He's just contagious sleepiness everywhere he goes. It looks like also this one version, Trump's kind of upright sitting, so it looks like he's straining, taking a massive shit also. I'd believe that if he said it's like, no, I was. Entirely possible. I was really pushing one out. I thought I was going to do a Presley there, but no, it was okay. That is, that's why they needed all the security and they, you know, it's, they don't care if you get assassinated. they just don't want anybody to smell what's going on down there because that that would be humiliating no that would be that would be humiliating anyways a great bit of political theater uh by him for uh anyone who's ever railed against the one percent it's like the okay so everybody uh everybody's priced out and then the people who aren't priced out have to like change everything that they're doing in order to see the game to accommodate one pedified

Billionaire. Yep. So, yeah, great. Doing the Lord's work out here. What do you think? Do they're going to, no, they're going to close it. A part of me is like, come on. Who the next?

In New York. It's like, come on, man. Let him win one more than fucking force a game six. Wait, would six be back there? Six would be in New York. Yeah, New York. Yeah. I can see the Spurs getting another one.

Yeah, no, for sure. I mean, like it, it didn't, like, it felt like a sweep could have definitely been on the table, but also whatever. Anyway, we'll see. Either way, come on. Nick's, come on. Just get your read. The team is like really on some like Hollywood movie shit where like they are bad and then they're good.

And it's like unclear really like what is causing it. It's just like when they're good, they're better than anyone else. Right. But then they'll like have these moments where it like they stop being able to like. Yeah, they suddenly start looking mortal. I mean, they weren't even one of the best teams in the league throughout the regular season. It's just this magical 13 game run. So I do understand people like there was another watch party where the second time ran out.

Everybody just started screaming, fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Donald Trump. Like I can see, you know, fans are superstitious and this team in particular it would drive you to superstition because it's like this weird kind of alibi. me that's like it's just not clear where it's coming from and they had this amazing 13 game street coming happening where

like yeah where they if they're down eight with like a minute to go you're still like yeah but they're going to win this like this is what they do and last night it just didn't happen so I can see like he's really pissed off Steve Bannon is trying to figure out how to redirect

that for the next election probably he's like get these disaffected Knicks fans somehow yeah yeah exactly Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about Scooby-Doo and other stuff. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart.

Your coworker who, quote unquote, doesn't read, is reading romance. Your mom, book talk, the entire internet. I'm Sanjana Basker. I'm Tyler McCall. And this is Radio 831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse. And what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn, and obsess. We're going to Weathering Heights, which, for the record, is not a romance novel.

And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance, age gaps, certain Russian hockey players. And sentient objects, in love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation where we're going to be. having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What did Black Music, Food, and Culture teach us about who we were becoming? 2016 was sort of that last era of monoculture, where we still consumed things in community. From Beyonce and Rihanna. Everybody wanted to be Beyonce. I don't think we'll ever

see another Rihanna. To soul food, memory, identity, and the story. We carry through black culture. What does it mean to be black and eat in America? So we were these group of people who knew how to work the land, who knew how to live with the land. We make it do what it do. Therapy for Black Girls is bringing together the conversation shaping Black Life right now. You will never make me feel bad for being a black girl, for being a black American girl, ever. Therapy for Black Girls is bringing it all to the mic.

Listen to therapy for Black Girls on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. We're back. And we got another, we've got another sick-looking Sonic design release. When they released the design for the Sonic live-action movies and like his eyes were kind of small and he like looked like he was off that fent. Yeah. A little bit. Yeah, he had like small teeth.

What was the other example where they like tried to put a bad character design out and fans freaked out and they had to like switch it? And it worked. Yeah. Yeah, I forget what it was. Anyways, they've, they've done it again, folks. Yeah. First of all, it's just, it's mind-boggling how many Scooby-Doo reboots there have been in recent years. They, they have so many.

They're just releasing all the dogs, you know? This is what happens. Yeah, when old people are still in positions of power, they go, oh, yeah, Scooby-Doo. Yeah. What about that? I remember Scooby-Doo. Yeah. I remember He-Man.

That movie fucking bombed this weekend. Bombed hard. Because it was so woke, dude. Or bad. I don't know which one. Could be that it wasn't great. Their second bite at the He-Man Apple and the first one didn't go well. And they're like, let's try this one again.

Let's sell the plane for spare parts as we land it. I didn't realize. So this is the second Mattel. Like this is their follow-up to Barbie. And they're like, okay, so same formula. We're going to get like a good filmmaker to make a toy movie. And it's going to do well, just like Barbie did. And it did not.

No, the fuck. Yeah. And again, he man, not even close to the level of- iconography? Yeah, yeah. Barbie? Come on. There's no, there's no engine behind that that you're going to tap into to fucking ride that thing to a billion dollars.

Yeah, the numbers were like, yeah, a lot of, uh, men over the age of 45 went and that's about it. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Not going to work. Not going to work. Scooby-Doo though.

I remember that was a cartoon. I always wanted to stop watching because to my four-year-old brain, I was like, this shit looks old. And I don't like it. It was how I thought about Scooby-Doo all the time. Yeah. So Netflix is like, what, what is the last thing that you do to a reboot to a franchise? and it's, of course, do the live action version of it.

Once you're out of all other ideas, do the live... Which, Scooby-Doo has been live action. It's just the dog has always been animated, you know? Yeah, right, right. Computer animated. And they're like, no, what if it was just an actual puppy? And so they've dropped the modern reimagining of the franchise, the actual puppy that is supposed to look like Scooby-Doo,

and it does not look anything like Scooby-Doo. It looks like an adorable dog. Why are the ears cropped? Yeah, that is what people are asking. Scooby-Doo, his ears are, you know, what was in fashion at the time, unfortunately, it was a fucked up thing that people did to dog.

Nutilation. Which was, yeah, cut their ears off, cut the tips of their ears off. You got cut them off. Just shape them cool, man. by cutting a little bit of the ear off. Yeah, yeah, by giving them a little trim. Yeah.

So anyways, it's a floppy-eared. People are like, why did you got a chocolate lab? And it does look like a chocolate lab, but this is actually what Great Dane puppies look like. Yeah. I didn't really, I didn't think I even realize Scooby was a great-dain. Look at the fucking paws on this fucking puppy. That is freak.

You know, they say like puppies got big paws that they grow up. Yeah. This one looks like it has the forearms of a silver. Yeah, yeah. It looks like it's, it really does. Like, it's crazy. It looks like it's mid-transformation. Yeah. Into a fucking silverback. It's thick. It looks like it's got some sort of anaphylaxics going on, anaphylaxis happening and, like, is blown up because its feet are big. Yeah, well, I mean, it's a great dame. So sorry, you guys. Sorry that yours aren't crop. Honestly, just be more upset that they're, putting this shit in front of you again when we've we've just seen with all these like like shit like back rooms coming out start just fucking lean it. Kane Parsons recently said he's like bro

then you can guarantee I will not be doing some IP shit after this. That's just not going to happen. Like that's a trap. No no no no no no. It's a trap. That was actually him saying that's a trap was actually viral marketing for the Star Wars reboot that he's going to do. It's all about Admiral Akbar. and tells the whole story. You didn't really want to know. People want to know that one. Just mixing and matching different characters in Grogu. Darth Vader and Grogu?

What do you guys? This doesn't even make sense. Canonically. We'll do whatever you want. Ewks in Grogu. What if they like had a situation ship behind the scenes? It was on the low. What is Grogu?

Horny? No. Boo. Anyways, it'll be, I don't know if fans will get what they're looking for on this one. It seems like they've made their choice. Yeah. And again, like the ones that they've fixed in the past have been computer animations where you just like, all right, back to the drawing board.

And they've already like done the acting opposite a tennis ball. And you just like, you know, swap in a new character design. This one, I think they shot with an actual gun. Very talented, great Dane puppy. Oh, sorry, sorry. Yeah, I was going to say they're going to Christy gnome the puppy. They're like, sorry, they don't like the character design

to figure this shit out all over again. All right. What do we? We got a peace deal coming. It seems like Donald Trump is pretty, pretty hard at work based on his his words that he says. His words.

Oh, is that the deal is imminent. The deal is imminent. Look, Trump can say that he controls shit, quote unquote, yell at BB Net and Yahoo to stop attacking Lebanon because you're going to ruin the deal. he's in control of nothing. And he's just in the process of losing his mind. So, you know, like Iran and Israel traded barbs over the weekend with some missile attacks.

And then Trump apparently told Nanyahu no more attacks. And then on Monday, the missiles flew again, despite Trump saying he told Bibi Netanyahu, knock it off. When the BBC asked about Bibi Netanyahu to Donald Trump saying, did he just defy you? He said, no, no, they had already gone. He said of the latest round of attacks. They had already gone. They were already on their way.

If I tell him to do something, he doesn't. Sure, Jan. Yeah, of course he does. Doesn't seem like it. Wait, so how slow are these attacks? You had a conversation like over the weekend and then the attacks. They were already like in motion. You're not shipping.

You're not shipping something from New York to L.A. with UPS or some shit. It was already on the way. The attack was ground transport. It was, I think, actually second day air, maybe. Yes, it was second day air, so we didn't, we weren't able to get that in time. But again, the appetite for bullshit war is not increasing in the U.S. prices keep going up and Trump's approvals continue to crater. So, you know, what's going on?

For starters, there have been a lot of people on the inside leaking about one of the biggest holdups to a deal happening is because Trump is singularly focused, rather obsessed on creating a deal that he can say is better than Obama's. And that's pretty much it. Like, he wants to be able to say that he got over, uh, he got greater concessions from Iran that Obama did just so he can claim victory over a black man that lives rent free in what remains of his mind. Um, this is from the Atlantic quote, administration officials said Trump repeatedly complained that critics were calling his team's draft agreement, a weaker version of the joint comprehensive plan of action, the JCPOA, which he had spent

years attacking and tore up his first term. Trump wanted a way to argue that Iran had accepted terms from him that Obama never managed to extract AIDS told us. And this is... Can we just, again, this is just like... It's stupid. Can we just Truman show this shit? Can we just be like, make a fake New York Times where we're just like,

he did it, folks, he did the best one. and like let him believe that. Wow. What is this? Obama's in tears. Look at him. He's crying. He's crying.

He said you could never be like you, goat. He called me goat. Did you know that? He called me goat. So there's that. But yeah, he's, as we've known, tell me if you heard this before, Trump says,

a deal is imminent. Oh, good. If you run the tape back, he's said the ideal has been imminent. The CNN did like an analysis. He said that 37 times since March. You know, many definitions. Eminent is such a elastic word.

They can have so many meetings. Imminent. I mean, if you look on sort of like the timescale of human history, the timeline of human history. Exactly. From the Big Bang. 14 years is truly like but a microsecond. Yeah.

If it goes that long, it won't call that long. The California earthquake, they say it is imminent. We're due. but it's on a slightly different scale. Different scale, different scale. Decades. Yeah, it's all about how you, it's all about perspective, man.

You should really look into relativity. You should really watch Interstellar. March 23rd, he said, I would say almost all points of agreement. March 25th said Iran wants to make a deal so badly. They're begging me to make a deal. March 29th, I do see a deal in Iran. Yeah.

April 30th, they're dying to make a deal. When the war ends, which shouldn't be too long in May 1st. Yep. Yeah. 37 times. June 9th. Oh, we'd also be remiss not to point out, our new holiday is 6.9, everybody. I forgot to mention that on this morning show.

It's June 9. Shout out to everybody. Happy 6.9 to you. 6.9 to you. Except for the Europeans. Sure, sure, sure. For whom it is 9.6. It's 9.

But I heard that's even how they do the sexual position is 9.6. back to back back to back and somehow they make it work. Like Batman and Robin. Happy six, man. Oh, I just found out one of the Geishield's classmates. They had a kid's sister be born. And I was talking to the dad.

And I was like, oh, when was a kid born? He's like June 7th. He's like, six, seven, man. And he did it too. I was like, oh. And he's like, I know. I'm like, the prophecy hath foretold the birth of this child, the one that will lead us for six, seven. I don't think anybody understands how.

I mean, it does it, it does feel like it's gone down a little bit. Oh, it has, it has. I mean, even the kids at the day, they don't know. They don't know six, seven. They're too young. Let's keep it that way. Thank God. We're going to have to do an old boy situation with an entire generation.

You should keep them in a hotel together. This is kind of new. J.D. Vance is building affordable housing. Oh, great. Sorry, unaffordable housing. And I should specify it's for 12 chickens. Oh. Oh.

He's installed a chicken cube at his U.S. Naval Observatory Residence and bought a dozen baby chicks. And the hen house was designed to look like the Victorian home where the second family lives, presumably minus the palpable feelings of soulless dread. I mean, we don't know that. It could also have the palpable feelings of Solisrian the Victorian chicken chicken entirely possible. What the fuck? What's it? Is it for the kids or some shit?

It's fur to egg prices. The Trump administration keeps being like, oh, you don't like expensive eggs? Well, get fucked. How about doing a chicken coop in your backyard, which would be great if chicken coops didn't cost more than the price of eggs. Oh, this is because the labor, or. Ag secretary was like, well, you should maybe just fucking grow your own eggs if they're too expensive. Yeah.

Wow. Wow. America, hard at work for you, folks. That's right. Get your own fucking eggs then if they're so goddamn expensive is not a solution. And anyone who I've talked to who has chickens, had chickens are always like, it's a lot of fucking work. And if you live in a city, not great.

Yeah. Anyone who I've talked to who has chickens, had chickens. is a good way of saying it actually. Unless you're on a farm. I only know one person who consistently had chicken, but they live well outside the city. I'm like just a ton of land, and they're just like, yeah, I don't know.

They're fucking, they're doing their thing. Yeah, yeah. It is. You are, I don't think we've ever talked about this, but you're good friends with Colonel Sanders. Okay, well, you know, why are you dragging my personal life out here like this? But like the cool younger one from the more recent ads. Me and the Kern.

We do, look, yeah, we like to smoke up a little bit. You know what I mean? Trade recipes. The Norm MacDonald one is the one that you're friends with. This is a guy who I think, I keep calling Colonel Sanders. My name is Rick, dude. You know, fast food ads. Have you seen the one during the NBA finals where Burger King is doing the full dominoes, the full, we get it, we sucked shit?

And they kind of, yeah. There's an ad where they're like, Burger King used to mean something. Like, people used to love Burger King in the 70s. And then we lost our way. And they show the, and they kind of blame it on the king, the mascot.

Wow. They're like, you remember this guy. And then they show him being fired and, like, leaving the headquarters with a cardboard box. Wow. And they're like, instead, we're replacing that mascot with me, the CEO. It's like, man, nobody fucking wants you.

So then you're going to be out on your ass when sales don't go up too? Yeah. Is this a new era of CEO accountability? He has an actual golden parachute attached to his back. That's his character design. Yeah. And he jumps from just about four feet above a limousine. So he just fall right into it very comfortably.

Into a pool on the back of a limousine. The height of luxury. Dude, I haven't had Burger King in fucking ages, man. Exactly, Miles. And who do we blame for that? That weird king. That fucking weird king. Not the people who decided.

Because I'm like, well, hold on. So that's an actual guy who runs Burger King? Or that was a manifestation of your party. We made the decision to just like do austerity when it came to the product that we were putting out and the stores. And then now we're trying to backtrack on that. Way too much. Yeah. Now we've gone to a point where we can't go.

any further. Things couldn't be worse while like still being a viable business. So we're going to invest in the quality of the product, get people to come back. And then we kind of use their momentum against them. What's the martial art? Is that jiu-jitsu that where people like use your momentum against you? Ikeido. Yeah. We kind of use it. We kind of do an Ikeeto thing where as they're coming back, we fucking trip them and make the quality really shitty again. But we're making money because they still think it's good again. We're the Stephen Seagall of Burgers. That's right.

Is that a good marketing tagline? The Stephen Seagall of Burgers? That's right. No? Oh, fuck. Burger Segal. Stephen King. Now we're talking.
