Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the Fooziders.

I think I only know one song by them. You only know one? No, you don't. Fucking one Foo Fighters song? Yeah. Which one? At least off the top of my head head the only way i want is to go down but what about there goes my hero i did not know that was okay how about that sound that seems like it should be like a chris daughtry song based on it's because varsity blues man i remember that varsity blues that movie like they blew it out with that song. And I remember it fucked me up. I was like, you know, like, let's run the option play, and I'm calling, yo, hit him, hit him.

So you are a Foo Fighters fan? I like the Foo Fighters, yeah. I mean, I've never bought an album, but I like Dave Grohl, like, because I was a huge Nirvana fan, and I think he's, like, a fucking fantastic rock drummer and very underrated as a musician in rock. People don't produce a ton of shit, too, like that early Queens of the Stone Age shit. Oh, that's right.

But like, yeah, I don't know. I just have respect for the foo, but also one of my homeboy's sisters is married to Dave Grohl. Oh, really? Yeah, that has nothing to do with it. Foo fighters ain't nothing to Dave Grohl. Oh, really? Yeah. Foo fighters ain't nothing to fuck with. Has anybody done that?

Is that something? Up from the 36 chambers. It's the Foo. All right. Sorry. All right. Tang. Foo.

Tang. What's trending? A bunch of ncaa basketball stuff weirdly i was noticing that so oral roberts was the top trending story from yesterday because they are a 15 seed that made it into the sweet 16 a lot of fun to watch they have the leading scorer in the nation from the regular season on their team which which for whatever reason, like the leading scorer in college basketball is never like something that you see a lot of in the tournament.

And then they got this other dude whose name is like close to O'Bannon, but is not O'Bannon. Two brothers, love him. He's the third O'Bannon brother, but his name's slightly different. But so the number one story underneath that trend on google and i don't know if this is a function of google trends and

how it's pulling stories but it is uh that world roberts glorifies god by making it to the sweet 16 and then the number uh five story trending yesterday is Baylor because they just look fucking terrifying. They look really good. The first story under that is that they're one of the reserves on their team plays for Jesus. So I don't know where maybe it's just because NCAA basketball in the March Madness tournament is such like just red meat Americana that it just overlaps with people who also want to know about which one of these boys loves Jesus. We pod for Christ. You know what I mean? I mean, we should mention that.

That's the secret of this show. They say, hey, how do you stay off the charts? I'm always pointing to the sky after every joke that makes miles left. How do you not emerge on the news charts? What's your secret? I say, we podding for Christ, baby. That's baby that's right what we do we're speaking to something deeper it's not he can't be measured by uh apples on godly charts you know what i mean we're going off the strength of the spirit and if you ask me why i'm so nasty from three well that's because i believe in the trinity the father the son and the holy spirit you know

what i mean and that's how that's how i keep that j wetter than the fucking loaves and fishes uh that jesus multiplied although the trinity i think isn't that mostly a catholic thing triune god no i mean everyone has the concept of i feel like that oh maybe i don't know i heard about the triune God at Lutheran school too I respect the fact that Catholics are never like are never those people who are out there being like praise to the Pope praise to

too much guilt y'all front loaded the guilt so everyone's quiet as fuck it's not fun mass is so fucking dark and dreary I don't know how this happened i definitely don't deserve it uh the team must have done something to pick up you know it's probably i'll probably get my punishment on the other side anyway because yeah it's not possible that if we win the title it will be some sort of long morality play in which i uh that's like a high school like getting

getting high for the first time with a catholic teen i was like bro the vibes are really bad with you i'm sorry oh yeah yeah yeah that's what i'm sure that's at least partially responsible for all the panic attacks this one kid thought his dad was gonna find us yeah he's like my dad's gonna find what the fuck are you talking about like in a completely different part of town and unless you have you're telling him an address they're not gonna find it then a police helicopter flew over and he said oh yeah that's he said it's for us and i was like i'm i can't do this anymore like i can't do this i was just trying to smoke a blunt and listen to fucking welcome to smoking weed with me yeah that's not for you oh Oh, man. They're going to get me.

Shout out to that dude. I identify. Did you watch any March Madness basketball? Watched a little bit of Bruins. Watched a little bit of that Oregon game. Pac-12 teams from the West Coast are playing out of their minds.

We got Abilene Christian, Wildcats, in a few hours here, or an hour. So we'll see how that goes. But, you know, I'm just, I don't, I'm very passively watching it. And then, like, when my phone inevitably is like, it's a close one.

Check this out. I'll be like, all right. Yeah, exactly. Because there is nothing more, like, there is no greater sports high than watching, like, the last couple minutes of a March Madness game. Oh, man.

Because it rivals the Olympics in terms of people going out of body to just get it done. It's something else. Yeah. Yeah. And just from a... It's a shame that what's happened to college where like the level is dropped because there's just better things for people to do and right mostly because the NCAA is

a horrible institution um yeah but it's like really cool to like have all these divisional teams like randomly matched up in a single elimination so like like with this one the Pac-12 who nobody was talking about heading

into the tournament is now undefeated like all these teams that were playing each other people are just like yeah they're okay i guess we're actually like a step up for whatever reason than the other teams yeah um i mean that sc kansas game um that'll be interesting too yeah colorado beat the shit out of Georgetown. Yeah. I was like, Georgetown, watch out for them to be an upset pick. I did. I was like, hey, you got a 5-12?

I like a 5-12. I would have, look, I would have done that off the strength of my loyalty to you, Jack. Hey, man, I appreciate that. I would have fucked my whole bracket up and picked Georgetown. All my brackets are busted. Yeah. Right away. Krispy Kreme is trending.

What's going on? Dude, if you get vaccinated, pull up with your very easy to forge piece of paper that says you've been vaccinated and they will give you a free donut. And you can go in that motherfucker every day if you want. As long as you bring the thing that says you've been vaccinated, they will give you a free donut. Which also worries me because we i'm hearing anecdotally a lot about how

people like there's the capacity to vaccinate and then we're not meeting it all the time quite yet yeah um so you know if you can get that vaccination get it and i think you know many places are rapidly expanding who's eligible unfortunately for you know jack you and i for being uh 20 somethings uh with perfect health right and are who are complete and i think another qualification is that we're completely in touch with youth culture because of that uh we're in the very last group so yeah patiently waiting fortunately uh from all the uh weed smoking i do and gaming. I have asthma. So, you know, I'm going to try and use that. You have game induced asthma.

Yeah. That's what they said. You know, this damn sedentary lifestyle and all the weed I smoke. All right. Fine. All right, man. Just shut up. Elgin Baylor is trending R rip to one of the greats

man great nba player uh executive coach who passed away at the age of 88 yeah my favorite number too 22 also his day his birthday is the day after mine same year oh wow prince harry and i on the 15th and then elgin baylor on the 16th yeah man i i elgin baylor was one of those you say same year yeah elgin baylor was one of those like hitting my brain he was one of those first um like lakers that i didn't know anything about that i learned a lot about um because i didn't didn't, you know, like, as a kid, my, like, it all started with the Showtime Lakers. And that's as far back as I could go. And then after going to, like, the forum and things,

and then you see, like, the things in the raffle, like, 22, like, that's my favorite number. You're like, how come nobody, who's Elgin Baylor? Yeah, it's, well, one of the wild things, too, is not one NBA championship yeah you know what I mean cited as like him and Barkley or like some of some of the great players who didn't a lot of people argue though that like because the Lakers won in 71 72 and he did play nine games for that team right that he did contribute to them winning a championship much in the same way

tarong lu got a ring in 2000 for playing eight games and he was out the rest of the season but tarong lu got one for eight games didn't he isn't he the one who got stepped over by uh iverson in that finals i believe that was yeah damn that was one of his eight games or was that not 2000 no that was in 2001 oh okay that was the next year all in all fairness him and Derek Fisher do what they had to do it took two of them to deal with Allen Iverson in that final series but damn man

it is what it is legend legendary mate he put up 71 against Knicks one time yeah that's bullshit that they don't give him a chip for playing for a team that won the championship later that season.

Because you look at what does nine games make? That is the difference between how you're seeded. It's the difference between your playoff run. Nine games fucking matter. Like I said, if Teron Liu got a ring for eight, Elgin baylor damn sure should get one for nine also just a lot of uh speaking of injuries in the nba lebron with a

high-end sprain uh lamello ball out for the season after being like just the dead-on like a lock for rookie of the year he was like top two for points assists steals and rebounds for rookies like he's just he was balling out of his mind the lebron oh my god the lebron thing sucks man because that's that's just never never happens yeah and but also like i don't know how that was just a high ankle sprain i know man that's that's another testament to his whatever platform his corpse is built upon uh because it's just like you watch you're like that's a snapped off leg for most people and that's somehow a thing that like they're saying three to four weeks yeah Bad news for the Lakers because things are pretty tight.

Yeah, things are pretty tight in the Western Conference. And yeah, it's looking rough in terms of talent. I mean, yeah, we need a lot of people to figure it out pretty quickly. The entire premise of the team is that you got LeBron and AD

and everything else built built around them so yeah they're both out so uh this could be a fun sports comedy film yeah what happens yeah and we're just eking it out like schruder's just like desperate like last ditch threes are going in like fuck it okay yeah let's just keep carnival of errors did schroeder always shoot like that with his like elbow out like that his shot used to be pretty i feel like and now it's now it got ugly which i i used to have a very ugly shot so it takes one to yeah that elbow way out uh no it was like in almost as weird like the one you were yeah not your supporting hand like your shooting hand yeah you're shooting going like this yeah very strange yeah you must have flexible shoulders oh man don't even get me started on that

brother check out shoulder boy 93 dayton uh sedition is trending because we might actually be getting some sedition charges yeah i don't know i mean this is the people who committed sedition in front of a bunch of national media. This is according to Michael Sherwin, who was the former acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. He was on 60 Minutes. And, you know, when they're asking, he said, quote, I personally believe the evidence is trending towards that sedition charges and probably meets those elements for sedition. I believe that the facts do support the charges, and I think as we go forward, more facts will support that. This is going to be a long-term investigation.

Okay. Seditionish. Sedish. Sedish. I mean, it's pretty clear what the fuck everyone's motives were there. You saw even if, look, if you were just a dummy who was charged up off parlor or a fucking three percenter oath keeper uh it was clear many people had ideas in mind to i would say upend the election and interfere with the process that was their stated

goal but we'll see who not you never know you never know because these are the kinds of charges you know when the defendants are white, it might be a good night. Finally, Ken Jennings is trending because, so I guess he's one of the hosts. The taste of these people who are auditioning Jeopardy hosts, let me just read for you the list. Ken Jennings. Oh, he's trending because it's like the search for the new trebek or search for the new trebek okay ken jennings is apparently everyone's favorite he is not the most recent but he's trending in response to the most recent because a dr oz is trending as a possible

replacement and people are not happy about that possibility a Alex Trebek would rise from the grave to fuck Dr. Oz up for hosting Jeopardy. Like some pseudoscience fucking goblin man who's like, the vagina is a self-cleaning oven. And you're like, OK, cool. That wasn't an answer or a question. But please go on and host. Yeah, Dr. Oz is terrible. Very bad choice uh katie couric is has also been auditioned and someone named mike richards which i was like why who i've never heard of him like he was the executive producer of jeopardy and is trying out

to be the host to try and like player coach it i guess he just looks like an average of dr oz and ken jennings yeah yeah like they average this face together and he's one of those guys who when they smile their eyebrows just look concerned you know like if you smile like this his just go like smiles very no are you mad at? that's not Trebek energy Trebek wasn't a popular wasn't the guy that you would have everybody would have expected to pick

back when he was picked so I'm looking for some are there any people of color that are options? that's what I was wondering is Mike Richards somebody I'm not familiar with? nope he is ken jennings also like like we have frown smile guy and right jennings and then your vagina is a self-cleaning oven those are the options so yes yikes yeah but it would do you think jeopardy needs a new vibe as a host like rather than trying to kind

of do something trebek adjacent like do you go do you lean into just getting like someone so like just viciously hilarious and quick yeah or is it about like sort of having this air of like intellectual you know discourse that isy. I don't know. I think I'd watch it for the jokes, but I don't know. Then people are like, oh, I like doing it just about the facts,

not the jokes. Whatever. You can't please anybody. I'd like to see this audition process stretch over a year and see them try everybody out. Give Steve Harvey a shot at it. He's the best game show host we've ever had

might as well see what you would be like yeah fuck it just rip it on everybody i don't know just have anybody just someone i just i think what they should do is go full spectrum for like a month try fucking everything yeah. Yeah. Just in doing it, nobody's going to not watch because they heard, you know, so-and-so is going to host. Like, I think,

just do the experiment and then you might come up with something fucking hilarious. Bam Margera, Johnny Knoxville, like one of those guys. Steve-O? Yeah, go all the way.

All the way. Come on, yeah. Give Steve-O a shot. Give Capone the rapper. Won't someone think of the Steve-O? Yeah. All right. That is some of the stuff that is trending right now uh we are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves don't do nothing about white supremacy and we'll talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Bye.
