How'd you go on right there, right? Yep, you did. I didn't know where I was going.

Oh, you thought I was going to go... I thought you were just reading my throat tattoo. Old Greg. That is courtesy of Old reading my throat tattoo. Old Greg. That is courtesy of Old Greg. Thank you, Old Greg. This is What is Trending right now. I'm Jack O'Brien. That's Miles Gray.

Big Ten is trending. All right. It is a sports league. Conference? Sports. What do they call that? A loose confederation of schools? Genre, I believe. It's a conference. Yeah, it's a conference. sports uh what do they call that a loose confederation of schools genre i believe uh

no it's a conference yeah it's a conference i apologize to my i don't even know why i'm saying that like i give a fuck like i'm not like i don't give a shit about like pack 12 anything yeah i'm surprised i gave it the respect and i'm called pack 10 jumping down my throat anyway uh big 10 is not having a season, therefore probably not going to have any college football in the year 2020. Oh, it's your fucking Jim Harbaugh. There's a lot of people fighting tooth and nail being like,

no! Need that payday. Need this. I mean, I wonder how many, like, I know this benefits probably like some people who have like limited eligibility. They're like actually cancel this season like great great great right i don't have to feel like i'm missing out and i can play next year but it's uh yeah this is something or i don't know that is how eligibility will work right watch and then now we have like a

this is a great beginning of a script where like the pandemic like shifted someone's eligibility and they're like the older guy like unnecessary roughness playing in college with Simba. Right. Right. Everybody was a Scott Bakula. I feel like anyone Scott Bakula. It should star Scott Bakula and Simba coming back to play college football at this age. I think that would work really well.

Still bankable names as far as I'm concerned. Oh, yeah. The yeah. Harbaugh is fighting it's interesting though harbaugh i don't know i i kind of uh tacitly like vaguely root for michigan because i like harbaugh i like i liked michigan when they had the fab five uh that their first starter jacket i had was a starter yeah exactly taught me how to wear my shorts i honestly i wanted to go to michigan because of the fab five yeah like i applied like i was very close to applying to go to university of michigan only because off the strength of the branding of the of 90s hip-hop i was like yeah man you gotta rock a wolverine's

everything i had a wolverine's jacket that i mean a hat that used to look like graffiti because there was like a whole other there was a brand of hats that would do like graffiti with college logos i had the unlv running rebels one i had a michigan one i traded my boy chris for you know this is this was the underground hat economy of 1994 the unlv starter the UNLV starter jacket. The 90 running Rebs was such a good team. Yeah, and then you're like, eh, maybe that logo isn't for me, man. I don't know if I'm a running Rebel, but hey. Oh, shit. That's what you gotta do.

That's my first time thinking about that. Yeah, I'm like, but Larry Johnson, though. Right. Stacey Ogman. Yeah. Greg Anthony. Anyways, Michigan is a very difficult team to root for even with Harbaugh because they look real good

and then they go up against a good team and get look like Appalachian State so I'm just putting it out there shout out to fellow Michigan fans especially like the 98% of Michigan fans who are way bigger fans than me uh at least

actual fans actual fans you'll get a year of your only he only got into michigan because of tom brady bro yeah that's right dude i knew brady went there and i go there's my school bro tom terrific even if he had limited numbers playing over there it's still a wolverine bro you said it bro not me uh secret service is trending there was a trump press conference where they rushed him out of the room uh i this is kind of a weird one to even have on the list because we don't know what happened i think he did come back though like it's uh they were shots fired not too far from the white house and so they wanted to take him out of the press because you know you can't trust that press you never know president shit goes off in there she can go left real quick bro you know

what i mean good thing i had that thing on me i'll have that shit ringing through the whole press corps you know what i mean bling blow uh-huh yeah no that sounds like you hit a boom then you see the spark you know what i mean coming out the shadows clapping you uh yeah it's it's a very i mean like they said apparently there's an exchange of gunfire where someone yeah guy's been taken to the hospital i don't know what occurred there uh but later on that press conference he was like yeah i might uh might accept the now fuck around and accept the nomination for president presidential candidate at gettysburg he keeps trying to frame himself as like the lincoln of i think i think he saw that the lincoln project was a thing it was just like they're comparing me to lincoln hell yeah hell yeah that's what i'm thinking that's

what i'm fucking talking about he's high-fiving all the people finally like what you don't even know who he is you're like i know but black people love him that's why i'm like i'm better than lincoln also vote for kanye to try and split the vote for biden we're all in yeah gettysburg rushmore was in the mix but i think he already did his rushmore thing right but yeah it's either going to be the White House or Gettysburg. Both incredibly appropriate. San Andreas is trending, not for the reason I hope that there's a sequel coming for the rock classic,

but because there have been earthquakes along the San Andreas over the past 24 hours down Salton Sea Way, which is a dried out sea. Sea being a word for a giant lake. Old lake. Yeah, but it was like chemical industrial runoff for the most part the lake was formed by irrigation ditches like that had overflowed for for a number of years and uh now it's just chemical dust which yeah so fun place to hang out vacation but. But yeah, I don't know. I am very dumb about earthquake-related stuff, seismological activity.

So I don't know if this means more likely earthquake, less likely earthquake. Are we stretching the rubber band tighter? You're just about right. A Goldilocks situation. Goldilocks big one. We're hoping for a Goldilocks big one where we're like, okay,

the plate tectonics had their moment. We get it. We heard you. Thank you. But no damage on the surface. That's what I'm hoping for. Fingers crossed. That's what I'm planning for because I don't have anything. If we were betting, man, I would go all in on everything.

I'm like, yeah, the Californians will break off. An alien will come like, yeah, California's going to break off. An alien will come by, vaporize half of Australia. Then we will cure cancer. Everything. I think anything is possible. Right now, I feel like Kevin Garnett in 2020 right now. That is one of the great.

Do people know? Does everybody know the backstory of that? We've talked about that. I think because we always laugh at it. And we typically indulge most of our- I think I didn't know the backstory we've talked about that i think because we we always laugh at it and you know we typically i think most of our you had to explain it to me oh yeah yeah he got it wrong and boy yeah i guess quick update the the slogan for adidas for a number of years was impossible is nothing and when kevin garnett who was an adidas athlete won the nba finals with the celtics they put a mic in his face where most people say their tagline, and he just said,

anything is possible rather than impossible is nothing. And people were like, fuck! Kevin! One of our favorite sports... Change the catchphrase. Sports marketing moments

in all of history. And finally, derecho. Derecho. Derecho. Is trending. That is a windstorm in the midwest and chicago area uh where it's just a straight line of wind for a long period of time is that is that what i'm

led to believe yeah i did not know like what i was like what that like in spanish like is something going on with the right like right what is happening uh but yeah but they call it a derecho uh according to the pronunciation guide on cnn so you can really sound like a person who doesn't know where the origin of that word is uh widespread long-lived windstorm with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms like when you look at like the like the maps of it it truly is just like relatively just straightforward just line uh so yeah it's uh i talk about another like phenomenon on earth i'm completely ignorant of yeah but yeah i hope everybody in that area and i think like in the

midwest the weather in the mid is so wild. It's like, I I've been, when I lived in Missouri for a few years after having been on the East and West coast for a number of years, like the, the sky would just suddenly look like the end of ghostbusters. There's there's, I think it might be like related to a dairy show.

But there's like these things that happen around frozen lakes where the wind just keeps pushing in the exact same direction for a long period of time and the ice just starts like crawling up onto the shore of the lake and it looks like i don't know it's like a cross between the t-1000 from Terminator 2. Oh, yeah. It's wild. You wouldn't believe what you were seeing if you just saw it, and it happens just regularly. I'll keep my horribly

frightening Earth falling apart beneath me phenomenon that we have exclusively. Didn't we say North Carolina just had a wild ass earthquake too? Yeah. Biggest in 100 years. It's everywhere.

Yeah. What is... 2020 all... Well, let's bet big on like the good things like free education. Yeah. By the end of the year.

Almost definitely. Yeah. For sure. Yes. The end of systemic racism and the oligarchical class in the United States hoarding wealth. Yes, this is 2020. Yes, put it out there.

Put it on your vision boards. Yeah, the secret works, clearly. Yeah, keep trying that, asshole. That is going to do it. That's what's trending this Monday afternoon. We are going to be back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.

So tune in for that. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Stay inside. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we'll talk to you all tomorrow.
