Hello and welcome to this edition to present trend by trend just fell down. Oh no. We'll talk about that. That's something that happened today to our poor old grandpa, President Joe Byron. Big yikes. big yikes yeah yeah you know just when he i mean i was gonna say this man literally out here tripping but let's go to our first story i'm miles that's becca thank you for that very uh thank you for indulging my terrible joke with that laugh that was that helped me feel good on this wonderful thursday uh happy pride everybody is jew happy pride happy pride and yes

shout out to everybody i love that sound absolutely not on some bullshit and understands that this is not some kind of satanic thing it's just called people celebrating who they are and their individuality and we're all about that first thing that's trending uh this pizza place in new zealand in new zealand called hell pizza and i was like what the fuck is this so apparently And we're all about that. First thing that's trending. This pizza place in New Zealand. In New Zealand. Called Hell Pizza. And I was like, what the fuck is this? So apparently, they have, like, this is like a company that does all kinds of fucking wacky promotions. And typically, they're more on, like, the edgelord side. Like, one time they were doing, like, a fucking, like, Easter promo.

And they covered a billboard in, like, rabbit pelts. I don't know if they were real or not. But, like, a lot of people were like, yo, what the fuck is this? And I think they were real. Another time they put, like, Hitler on a billboard in like rabbit pelts. I don't know if they were real or not, but like a lot of people like, yo, what the fuck is this? And I think they were real. Another time they put like Hitler on a billboard and people were like, well, they're kind of an edgelord kind of brand. All right. But this time they're saying their whole thing now is saying you can pay for your pizza after you have died. And this deal will only be available to 666 customers in new zealand and 666 customers

in australia do they have to be on the brink of death like how do you enforce that all you do is that the company's lawyer will have you add a clause to your will with the amount that you owe and the type of pizza that you got and this will be signed by two witnesses so then upon pawn death the estate will be paying for that pizza at that moment that is so much more work i just don't think for me that would ever be worth getting a free pizza in the now to get some lawyers involved in my estate to pay for a pizza that's like what 14.99 i don't know yeah i mean hey i know we have zeitgang kiwi zeitgang oddsie zeitgang is this pizza good or is just some trash bullshit they just keep marketing weird stuff are apparently over 10 000 people have applied

because why not i would find a way to like if knowing me i would be like i would ask a lawyer from like is there any way i can like negate this? Like after the fact around this. So I can get a free game. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I did that. Two witnesses. Next thing you know, I'm actually going to change my will right now.

But I'm sure they have a way to do that. But sure. Collect your pizza upon death. The newest thing. I'm surprised like like companies aren't doing that now. Like this sounds like a joke, but like we should like Klarna and that kind of stuff. It's the new after pay. Yeah. Like afterlife they're like yeah yeah yeah take that because we'll just take it out your whatever you got left you know because some people i mean that's already a

problem i think in history of families maybe you know i don know, adults that are overspending, leaving their children with lots of debt. Yeah. Surprise debt. Yeah. Yeah. So one of our producers, Breeze Nae, Brian, has basically, he is with a Kiwi. This is his partner. And they say that hell pizza fucking goes.

So maybe it is worth, you know, completely messing up your will uh and all that i don't know whatever do you and lawyers get at us how do you get around that uh next thing that's trending kim cattrall guess who's back in the motherfucking house uh just for a cameo for that mouth um so apparently samantha does make a cameo in the new season of and then there was that um or whatever is and just like that and just like that yeah yeah and then there will on this show we will call it too and then there was that and then there was that apparently she goes she's on she's doing she's pulling a cameo for like one scene but the the gossip is she did not interact with any of her co-stars on set i love

that for her i love that she's like i'm taking back my narrative but also still fuck them and they will never hear from me again all y'all uh but i don't know like is she i know she was like obviously she's had her beef with with them now wasn't it mostly sarah jessica parker yeah mostly sarah jessica parker so and it is jessica park so and it is a cameo right she's not coming back for like a full season she's just like making it is just a cameo so maybe a scene maybe an episode please give us like a good samantha one-liner yeah you know that's all we need that's that's all we've asked like i hope she's not like petty like in the scenes like i don't know i have to go like i need some kind of give me a samantha i mean i feel like if she

bothered to come back she would make it worth her while. Because she was the best part of the show. She always had the best lines. She was the best actress. I think she would give us something good. Yeah. It's the only thing making worth checking in on and just like that. Yeah, that's true.

All right, look, we'll see how the rest of this next season goes. I mean, I end up watching passively because I was on that. When Sex and the City came out, that was like my mom's favorite show. And she used to get screeners because she's like a TV critic or whatever. So we were watching. I remember just watching these dusty VHS tapes of Sex and the City. And also being like, why the... This is terrible viewing with a teenage boy and his mother.

Well, there's some episodes that i i have watched back and i'm like oh that was not okay and not just for the the stereotypical you know homophobia and like that stuff but there's like one episode in particular i was re-watching it not recently but when i first moved in new york my therapist was like you should get in touch with more new york content watch as you watch sex in the city um because it was covet so i wasn't allowed to like be in the city right it was like peak covet and so i'm watching it and there's this one episode where that guy technically like assaults i think samantha because he filmed her without her consent when they're having sex and

he like had it on like a like that art display he had he was like an artist and all those video cameras and it was like his sex with all of these women that like none of them can send and they were all very upset they just like fluently were like oh well that was crazy it was like no that's like illegal it was like yeah revenge porn almost i mean yeah look a lot of a lot of 90s tv had no idea like man the way people could not grasp rape culture at that time i mean there's times i like i was watching some of my old like favorite shows like i used to love like the jamie foxx show and stuff and like on second view i'm like uh jamie she's saying no sir get your fucking hands off her and you're

like that used to be like he's flirting and i'm like that looks like he is absolutely violating their personal space anyway look we all grow and we all move on uh so i wait with bated breath to see what samantha utters on her appearance back on and then there was that uh let's move on to joe biran or president joe brandon joe biden um the man he fell over at an air force graduation ceremony and when you watch the clip it feels like when you watch like an old person kind of like trip for no reason yeah like he just kind of stumbled he like gave a sing he left the lectern he went he went down like not terribly but he he stumbled down the way this was brought up though in the chat before we got on i thought this man fainted like the way i was like he collapsed yeah i was like yeah i was like oh so he's unwell like in a different way you know like in a more extreme dementia type way but it seems

he just said an old man collapsing clumsy thing because i like how like the white house has been like there was a sandbag there and i'm not gonna say they're lying but the the path he took did not seem like there was something in his way but he did do that thing when his secrets like this the way the secret service agents were like oh come on daddy it's okay poppy get up it's all right it's all right he the president biden turns around and he like points at some shit he's like i think the stage was uneven or some shit like when people catch you like you know like when you're walking on the street and like you drag your toe and you like trip but you have to like look behind to act like there was something in the road nah just gotta lift your feet up fam that's all um but anyway he's he's

well all's well that ends well and i'm sure know, the right wing will be like, and that's proof that his robot circuitry failed in the sun or whatever the fuck they want to say. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be back to tell you some really kind of dark news, actually, after this.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black.

I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back.

I just want to touch base with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, who's going viral at the moment for his, I guess, absolute hatred of reality. Is that a good way to put that? I think that's fair. is that is that a good way to put that yeah so he's out here um you know he's he's on like this panel discussion about like child care child care access and like he starts going on this like rant about like teaching children about race um and he's going viral because he says that the word reality uh is trending but he keeps talking about this book about he's like so you're saying white people created the cons the social construct of race

although he does not say social construct of race that's of course because he can't critically say that no social concept he's saying oh you think white people invented race oh really so white though i mean like that's part of the colonization process. You go out there and like, look at these other motherfuckers that aren't like us. They brown. What do we call that? Indian? I don't know. And we create the caste system that makes them lesser than us because they are darker than us.

Hey, hey, hey, look, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen will not have any of that. He will not have children being led to believe that white kids need to feel bad because they, I don't know, this is his, this is, I'm just going to, you can hear this sort of exchange with him and some child development experts because it's truly, it's, it's, here, just listen. Sis, don't you think that other people are saying that white kids are to blame? I think it's important. It's exactly what they're going to teach. It's exactly what it is ma'am i disagree um first it is important that we teach jesus first of all i just want to say that the reason this woman is saying that is because he was saying can't we just teach the jesus loves

me lyrics more than some book that is giving a nuanced you know take on race and what that means in a larger context like on a more shallow level of that not all people are christian so they don't need to hear jesus's word yeah like she's like look she's doing she's doing the good she's doing the thing where she's like let me just let me just disarm that argument because you've been talking so much about jesus she's like yeah okay that part. But she's about to switch it up. And Jesus is what we teach. But the reality is... Could she answer the question, please? I don't want reality.

I'm asking the question, which one is better? That is exactly... That's exactly what it is. I don't want reality! Oh, wow. I mean, I've never heard it put more accurately than that, like the entire perspective. You don't want reality, wow i mean i've never heard it put more accurately than that like the entire perspective you don't want reality which is that the world has taught brown and black children that they are lesser than from the second they walk out their door like and that's the fault of white kids

no not saying that's anyone's fault i'm saying that's the those are the stakes that's the those are the forces at work in the society in which we live. That is so frustrating. The conversation about like, oh, well, we're putting it on the kids. And it's like, no one is blaming the white children for their race. Okay. Like, I think everyone can agree that children as a whole are impressionable and they learn from the adults around them.

So no one believes you are inherently racist. Like these white children are born and they are white. And if they grow up in a community that is diverse, they will believe that that is chill vibes. But if they grow up in a community that is white, they're going to look at black and brown people and be like, as someone who grew up in a white community as a brown person, I can frequently tell you as a child i was very impressionable and i would go home and have many many nights crying being like i wish i looked like the white kids in my class i told my mom that many many days because i was taught by the white children who were taught by their parents that i was less than than them yeah yeah so just as I. Yeah. Getting on my high horse. No, not a high horse.

That's just reality. I mean, I remember those fucking kids called me like poop skin and some shit like that. You know, in your fucking first grade. Oh, it was called poodle head. Yeah, and you're like, fuck out of here.

Anyway. And then those are the people who'd be texting you in the summer of 2020 being like, I've been thinking a lot. I'm like, the fuck out of my face.

Those are the people who'd text me when I got on iHeart being like, oh my God, I love the Daily Zeitgeist yeah you know what hold that l racist anyway uh another thing that's trending this is fucking freaky ai drone is uh trending because an ai enabled drone fucking killed its human operator in a military simulation that was being conducted by the air force this is because this is what i've been worried about yeah it was basically it happened in order to override a possible no order that was going to stop the drone from completing its mission

that's according to the air force chief of ai test and operations i said quote we were training it in a simulation to identify and target a surface to air threat uh like a sam site and then the operator would say yes kill that threat the system started realizing that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat but it got its points by killing that threat like the way that the algorithmically it's set up to decision make. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.

Y'all. Nah, I'm good. I'm good. We're here. I've been good. Oh, thanks. Why am I in a situation where I'm like, like oh why can't we just like humans kill the other humans like that's where we're at now yeah but now i'm like man the motherfucking machine just

killed you because the fucking program is so rigid it's like this motherfucker in the way fuck out of here it's like that robot i we talked about it a couple weeks ago that killed itself because it was doing yeah it like manual or uh slave wage labor sweet wow slave wage labor try saying that three times nah maybe just me my tongue's too big for my mouth oh you got that condition that's what my partner tells me all the time because i do stumble on my words often if i'm speaking as fast as i'm thinking i'm like no but this is for real this is like we're this is the slippery slope we're talking about there's our this is we're talking about even the military where they're trying to fine-tune the killer robots the shit's just fucked up they're a fucking human because it kept it from destroying something this is like

this is black mirror i'm good get us out of the military i'm done we don't need to kill that bad that we're killing ourselves literally i know and watch they're gonna be like it's all right man you know you're gonna break a couple eggs making ai omelets and by eggs i mean it will a human being will be killed by a fucking drone and then finally wow another just a real fucked up story the supreme court has basically ruled that companies can fucking sue unions for damages or loss of profit or whatever well that it's that's that's incurred by striking employees how is this legal how it's because it's gone up to the supreme court that has basically been put in there to systematically erode labor rights and many other of the right like all kinds of other rights that we've been enjoying even in

a very minimal sense um but basically it's a new precedent for how companies yeah they're like oh y'all want to strike well guess what i will fucking we will sue you for the lost money i mean this makes me so worried for i mean granted we're still going through the wga strikes right now i mean starbucks workers they've already had so many issues with retaliation tactics from the stores themselves and from starbucks above yeah scary stuff yeah so again this is i mean this is in the time this is in the time that we're in right now where we're seeing so many like widespread strikes happening and organized labor is doing everything they can to be able to get people fucking living wages or working situations that aren't so fucked up that they have to like miss

all of like life's events for their families and things like that. Just like the railroad strike that, you know, was fucking shot down by the president. Does this not? I mean, I guess it already went up to the Supreme court. I just,

I'm so lost how this doesn't infringe on those strikers. Um, first amendment rights. Well, I think this is where we, like this, this case is very like the glacier Northwest versus the international brotherhood of Teamsters. The teamsters have said we're not this is not going to fucking stop us because right now we have a fucking we're trying to renegotiate with UPS and they are not fucking coming to the table. So we'll do what the fuck we got to do. But yeah, this is I mean, like, what a fucking just in your face way that the Supreme court is like being like yeah yeah so fuck workers rights they said capitalism overall oh yeah they say yeah and get them kids in the factories too

literally like you know we've seen era coming back what's wild i mean like yeah are we gonna have to have another fucking triangle shirt waste fire to literally people to be like but again we're already watching children be killed by guns and shit and there's nothing happening so i'm not quite sure what our new triangle shirt waste fire will have to be for people to be like oh yeah yeah yeah is it when the drones kill everybody anyway so a little bit of news uh going into your weekend uh just a reminder we have one episode coming out friday because we have our new release schedule starting this week. So there won't be a trending episode tomorrow on Friday. And also you'll see one episode go out Monday.

No trending episode. And then Tuesday through Thursday, you get your you get your double doses. OK, so until then, take care of yourselves. Take care of each other. Do everything you can to stay safe out there and keep other people space. Keep other people safe, especially in this era of rampant hatred. Please, please, please be a good person. That's because that's about the minimum we can do right now.
