hello the internet and welcome to this very special episode of the geist bucket challenge timely topical so cool uh thank you johnny davis i'm jack o'brien that is super producer anna hosnier yellow and we are here to tell you what's trending uh henry winkler is trending uh not because anything bad happened to him uh but because the nypd union chief who addressed the media looked a lot like Henry Winkler, and so a lot of people were making the same joke at the same time, like, I don't like Henry Winkler's new character. But that officer was just so wild,

how indignant he was about uh the the idea and also using words that are like textbook racist cop words for people of color he was like you've been treating us like animals and thugs um yeah just unbelievable it's like they co-opted the message we were giving back at them and then they were like yeah us we've talked about how the Trump administration does that

so frequently and just you know conservatives in general do that so frequently that it's almost hard to believe that it's not intentional but this would be a really wild use of that strategy anyways uh fuck that guy also the i've never seen so is the nypd just fully all uh bald white guys because that's it seemed like they were at a bald white guy convention AOC

Super Producer Danil was pointing out that AOC tweeted like hey aren't there like women on the NYPD and non white people no oh there's not okay my bad

I'm sorry women can't be cops they're too weak No, Jack, no. Oh, there's not? Okay, my bad. I'm sorry. No, women can't be cops. They're too weak. You know how it is. Apparently, women make better cops because they don't use force incorrectly and they're also better at getting cases closed. That's one of the,

I was listening to a prison abolitionist talk on Ezra Klein's podcast and he was saying that when we abolish the police the new version that we create needs to be 50-50

because women are better cops. It's not like for purposes of representation because women are better cops. It's not like for purposes of representation. It's like because women are better cops and they won't kill people. Women born with pain already in them. We already have to deal with so much inside our bodies. So I feel like just naturally we're more empathetic

to what's going on. Inside our bodies. So we're. I feel like we just naturally. We're more empathetic. To what's going on. But. Look I don't. Yeah I can't speak on like. Women cops who work for the NYPD. Who knows. What's going on.

But. It's. It's always tough for me to see like. A female cop standing around. And watching police brutality. Because I'm like. Come on. I don't know.

Maybe I just want. I always want to look at a woman and be like, you understand pain. So I don't know. Yeah. It's tough. The whole situation. Yeah, and it's not to say that they're, I mean, we talked, Jamie talked very recently about a really horrifying experience

she had with a woman who was a cop. It's not to say that women cops are better. I'm sure it's just they're more likely to not be awful if they're a larger part of the population in a police force. a larger part of the population in a police force. You know, it can be difficult when you were not well represented in a community to then voice your opinion or tell somebody to stop. I mansplain to you a white man. Oh, yeah, thanks, Jack.

Anna, the thing that you have to understand is it can be difficult for people of color. You need to understand about it can be difficult for people of color and women to I'm the worst. Martin Gugino is trending.

That is the name of the elderly guy who was pushed over by the Buffalo police. Jack tripped and fell. He was pushed but then he fell harder than he was trending jack tripped and fell okay right he was pushed but then he fell harder than he was pushed so um that that was trump's tweet uh apparently he got this he there's

let me just read his tweet it's very strange um he tweeted something about how he had scanned their communication equipment or something as very like so somebody said that he got it from like some blog that was also an anonymous blog so it just seems like he's you know pulling things he's for scraps, scrapping around for anything that he can find that's going to make how badly he's doing seem okay. I've read that number one recruitments for Antifa is 70-plus-year-old white men because no one would suspect them. And you know what? That's a little thing you can learn from Antifa is 70 plus year old white men because no one would suspect them. And you know what?

That's a little thing you can learn from Antifa is stay. Okay. Yeah. I'm not going to continue. It's just so dumb. It's really, really dumb. Yeah.

Well, on a completely different, not speaking of dumb Vanderpump rules have fired Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doot. Doubt. I think I blew both of those pronunciations, and I don't feel that bad about it. That was wild. And Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will also not be returning.

And to give some background, Max and Brett are recent additions, but they tweets, racist tweets of theirs in the past have resurfaced. But the reason Stassi and Kirsten, who are original cast members since season one, were removed from the show or excuse me, fired because they were because of something when I read it truly really shook me to my core because this feels so absurd to me for a thing to do to another person especially a person of color but basically they there was a uh a woman in the daily mail i believe it was uh being accused of allegedly drugging and robbing men in Hollywood. And Kristen and Stassi thought it'd be funny to pull a prank on their fellow

cast member Faith Stowers, who, you know, is a black woman. They decided to call the police and say it was her as a prank. Now, does that feel like a prank to you yeah it's a goof how i mean unbelievable unbelievable like i'm actually glad because you can't

you can never like that that's a prank is not putting a black person in front of the police to potentially be murdered it's uh i don't know did not care for that stassi or kirsten now i don't personally like kristin i think she's a bad shitty person just based off what i've seen on the show but stassi i I don't know. These women seem like they are in their own worlds. And of course, they live in full privilege. I'm shocked personally that Stassi, someone named after the Nazi secret police,

had done something so thoughtless and shitty. That's why her parents named her that, yeah. I've seen, I think, two episodes of this show, and I believe that in those episodes, Stassi had sex with Kristen's boyfriend, or Kristen had sex with Stassi's boyfriend, while her boyfriend, Jax, who was Stassi's boyfriend while her boyfriend Jax who was Stassi's boyfriend while Kristen's

boyfriend was in the next room yes while Tom of Tom Tom fame was in their bedroom sleeping so yeah and then she was like what?

yeah she's yeah god So, yeah. And then she was like, what? Yeah. She's the, yeah, God. I apologized. God. And I want to just say, it happened twice. It happened twice. What?

That she slept with? Yes. Jax? All right. Jax, who is not a real human. He looks like a person who's crafted out of- He's like a vein on someone's muscle, like a really buff guy's muscle. A muscle vein.

Like that vein, that bulging vein where you're like, not healthy. That's what he looks like. I think he was modeled on a He-Man action figure that I had as a child. Bill and Ted face the music, on a He-Man action figure that I had as a child. And yeah. Bill and Ted face the music, or Bill and Ted day is trending because they dropped a trailer,

which I haven't watched. I watched it. Looks like they're playing arenas. It's hard to understand what's going on. I guess it's been a while. They're like a successful rock band, right? Isn't that always part of the thing? They want to be a band.

Then in the future, they are a band, and they're very popular. I don't know. I saw interesting timing to drop this trailer. I was like, okay. Is it really called Bill and Ted Face the Music? Yeah. Yes.

Huh. Yeah, two white men face the music. Yeah. Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Two white men face the music. Uh, you know, looking at the consequences of their actions and they are men who travel throughout history. So it's the consequences of actions and goes throughout history.

Huh? Uh, yeah yeah i think they're taking advantage of the keanu sans that's been happening oh yeah i mean i think everybody who's ever cast keanu is taking advantage of his gifts from on high yeah well anna it's been a pleasure having you on trending these past couple days you also have my favorite joke from tomorrow's episode written in the comments of the show so people can look forward to that thank you
