Hello, everybody. Oh, that'll come round. Oh, rounding second into third. That is Ricky Trenderson with another stolen bass. The Oakland A's legend is really on fire today. I don't know why I just thought of that. I'm just thinking of old baseball cards that I love. I like it.

Shut up. I like it. I'm Miles. That's DJ Daniel. We're here to talk very quickly about what's trending. cars that i love and i like it really in my heart shut up i like it uh i'm miles that's dj daniel what i'm here to talk very quickly about what's trending is this i mean it's it's quite literally a all you can stomach uh nonsense buffet uh to start off i guess apple had a little bit of a event as they like to call it um i don't know what's new because i feel like every time i watch it i'm like oh that's new i'm like is that different oh there's an ipad air now what was what was before that that was a pro

and now there's a thing there's a new one i don't know uh it sounds like cool stuff yeah do you know anything that came out i mean just smaller versions and cheaper versions of the ipad it's basically like what happened with the last nvidia launches like. If you invested in an iPad in the last year, you're looking like a real dummy right now because the new ones are cheaper and better. You idiot! Who invests in an iPad? You steal an iPad. You don't invest in one.

Right. That's how they'd be doing it. Another thing I keep seeing is the Dugarita. Yes. You guys seen this? You heard about this, Dan? I keep seeing is the do Garita. Yes. Are you seeing, you guys seen this? You heard about this?

Dan's so excited. I have a reason to go back to red lobster. Let's do it. Oh, you stopped going to red lobster. You heathen. I you're right. I'm really showing my ass right now.

The pandemic stopped you all. You should have seen me. I was there day one banging on them doors. Like that. Eric Andre meme being like, let me in. Um, yeah. Red lobster teaming up with mountain

dew to create the fucking doogarita um give it okay i don't know what the fuck they say it's a top secret recipe and they say that they're pairing it with cheddar bay biscuits i'm okay cool like you know that's all i don't know bro they're they're pairing it with cheddar bays give me three of those and three bags of biscuits and we're good yeah i i guess uh i mean look this is probably one if it's a mocktail i know uh jack o'brien will be just whatever planet he's on at the moment, exploring the moons of Jupiter, that he's probably rejoicing for this. Yeah. And I'm sure many people are as well. He will materialize into a red lobster with a doogarita already at the table.

Oh, wow. Okay, I like that. It's ready for him. We'll keep talking about that. Next up, Scientific American. For the first time in their 175-year existence, they are endorsing a presidential candidate. Who are they endorsing?

Donald Trump. Mostly because he said explosive trees are causing forest fires. No. Of course, Joe Biden. I mean, on the heels of... I mean, we didn't even get to it on the show that you're going to hear later on, but he had a comment where scientists were telling him, hey, guy, you kind of need to check the science on this because it's going to get worse.

Don't just focus myopically on sweeping up the leaves and making sure there's no trash under there that little fires love to burn. They're like, no, it's also the climate science. And he's like, it's going to get cold very soon. You just wait. And that person was just like, yeah, I's also the climate science. And he's like, it's going to get cold very soon. You just wait. And that person was just like, yeah, I wish the science agreed with you. Yeah, that's not really how it works, bruh. A diet clap back.

But that's the most we can do these days, unfortunately. So shout out to Scientific American for picking a real one. A real one in the sense that they are willing to acknowledge what they don't know and say, yeah, I'll defer to the science on this. There you go. Because even the way Trump even refers to science in general, as if it's some asshole who lives down the

block from him, he's like, I don't think science even knows what they're talking about. You know what I mean? He should have seen science at my holiday party. All fucked up. It was a mess. Puking everywhere. I mean, how are you going to trust that guy? You like that?

I do. I love that. I love when you get that devilish laugh in you. Also, the Mandalorian season two trailer. Did you see it? I actually, embarrassingly, have not. But I saw it pop up on all the feeds. And I was like, oh, I got to watch that. I saw a saw a gif okay of one part um and i didn't see it either but it was enough to

make me go wow and it was the speeder bikes they were like going off a cliff like they were like off-roading on speeder bikes i was anytime the star wars franchise starts playing around with the vehicles or like the physics of the film that we weren't used to seeing like normally speeder bike i'm thinking endor you're weaving through trees it's like a little but like off-roading on them shit's popping whatever the fuck i don't know if it's a wheelie i'm taking out a wheelie i'm down or like when laura dern straight up sent the fucking ship into that fleet at light speed don't i'm not gonna lie i like that shit because i was like i always thought about that like how would you do that? Yeah, me too.

But then like, why was that not? Why was that not just the thing? I mean, I guess you don't want to have like Kamikaze ships and stuff. You don't want to promote that. But like, just make that, just get some, come on. You can't just do that with other big, ah, forget it.

I don't even want to do that. And you know, Baby Yoda is out here. I mean, we're not here for the Babu Frick erasure that comes along with elevating the voice voice of baby yoda right um but whatever i i guess whatever i guess that's what is happening uh with that whole whole series and then finally um a bit of good news uh for brianna taylor's family uh louisville mayor has confirmed there was just rumors going around in the beginning of the day saying it seems that there's going to be a settlement coming and what's probably the largest

settlement that the city has ever paid out. It turns out it's going to be a $12 million settlement and there will be some significant police reforms that will be implemented. Depending on the level of justice you were seeking this could be bittersweet uh at the very least it's a step in the right direction for brianna taylor's family specifically um so i know that they're going to say like that they're going to try and end no knock warrants uh they want to try and make sure like they incentivize more police that actually live in the city uh and and at the very least doing the bare minimum which is having social workers respond to like mental health calls because

we've seen uh you know in the last few weeks that's precisely the kinds of things that we need to be shifting responsibility away from the police right so yeah big big talk let's see him do it yeah uh so with all that uh and also I see this Prince Harry is trending. Oh. Because it's his birthday. What a loser. Probably an old guy. Birthday, my old.

Three, six, Mafia. We're 36 years old now. So shout out to us. We are officially, I mean, I was washed years ago, but I don't know a fucking thing about anything the kids talk about. You want to talk about 90s hip hop, though? Batter up. Step right up.

He's right there. Well, happy birthday, buddy. Aw, thanks, Dan. You didn't have to do that. And it's not like I just shoehorned that in there to get you to do that. But thank you, man. You didn't have to do that. But in a way, you did.

Because if you didn't, I would have been like, fuck, you're not going to wish me happy birthday? You know what time it is. You know what time it is. And shout out, Zeitgang. Thank you for your birthday wishes. I'm seeing them. I'm loving them. Shout out to everybody who's in the Zeitgang Fantasy Premier League.

There are some absolute ballers in there who know how to pick a squad. Me, I'm a little too aligned to my allegiances as an Arsenal supporter. It may have messed me up. Shout out to everybody who triple-captained Mohamed Salah because you got a lot of points this week. With that, thank you so much for joining us. Daniel, thank you for joining me. My pleasure as always.

Peace and blessings to Zeitgang, everybody out there. Please take care of yourselves. The news is not great in the last, I don't know, let's call it 400 years. So let's just keep optimistic. And we will see you all tomorrow. Love you all. Good. Bye.

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. It's bigger than a flag or mascot. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
