Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the Gold Trend Globes are back. They're back. Gold Trend Globes. Who knew? Gold Trend Globes back. On a Tuesday.

Yeah. That's when you know it's tough. When you're like, man, we're not messing with football or none of that. Nah, I'm doing it. Gerard Carmichael is going to be the host. Yeah. It went away for a number of reasons and now it. Gerard Carmichael is going to be the host. Yeah. It went away for a number of reasons. And now it's back.

Well, yeah, I mean, there was the whole controversy that I remember. There's the, there were like members that got like, was leaking all kinds of emails where you saw how fucking wild, like,

and racist some of the people that were in the organization were. I've always said it's, it's interesting to go after a group of foreigners to solve the complex racial issues within the American film industry. But again, you know, we do things kind of out of sequence in this country. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know who's watching.

I feel like, I wonder if this one is going to be the one where like tomorrow there's just going to be a whole raft of, man, nobody's fucking with award shows anymore, huh? Do we need them them i feel like every award show like you get those articles or even we talk about like like what the fuck was that yeah who are these we uh we so on tomorrow's episode we talk about a media like event that turned out to be a hoax and you'll you'll have to tune in tomorrow to find out what it is but

the thing like i was trying to think of an example of like another one that would be worth looking into to see if it was a hoax and the la la land moonlight switch up oh from who that the the producers did that to them i don't know i don't know but that that is one of those things that was like supposedly a screw-up but it caused like a huge media moment right yeah but also like barry jenkins probably wanted his name said outright oh for sure through the roller coaster like man this shit and they're like no it was wrong barry barry barry i'm not sure i'm not saying it was done with kindness in their heart i think it would have been done to create a media stir like that i the first

time i was like very suspicious that people were doing it on purpose was like how every year at the vmas there would be like some thing that would go wrong but everybody'd be talking about it you know that was when i was growing up i don't know if that still happens or if the VMAs are even still a thing. Anyways, we will see who wins the golden globe of them all, you know, and shout out to the Nepo babies who hold the awards at the side of the stage. It's always the child of someone in the industry.

Right. I just, I've always had a soft spot, my soft spot, soft spot in my heart for the golden globes because they were the only award show brave enough to reward The Tourist starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Let's not forget The Martian as comedy of the year. Yeah, that was a laugh riot. That's when you're like, sort your categories out.

Don't let them do an end around in the comedy fucking category. Favorite comedian? It's got to be between Matt Damon and Chris Paul in those state farm ads. Yeah. I think I said Chris D'Elia. And my man Chris D'Elia. Oh, there's a really good documentary out that highlights all of his misdeeds. It's called The Chris D'Elia Problem on YouTube.

Wow. Pretty damning. All right. Coachella is what people are talking about at the moment the lineup is out they announced the lineup we said we're going we said we're going yeah i said i'm like oh we should do it like as a joke because it'd be funny because we're so old and like it would it would be so silly i mean no speak for myself um but loki we saw like frank ocean frank ocean's on there fucking pusha t k trinada uh hiatus coyote like alex g all these people my guy i'm so thirsty for frank ocean content that i went back and discovered like alex g

was like heavily featured in like the arranging and a lot of the stuff on Blonde and started fucking with him pretty heavy. So I'm ready. I'm ready. I mean, unfortunately, I have presaged that it will be a train wreck. You have. And maybe the thing that you were presaging is that we would go and that would make it a train wreck.

And then we're we're we feel so fucking old that it bums us out forever and we're like we've just disgraced ourselves we just can't do our show anymore and then we're just gonna be in the background being like i can't even look at miles anymore without seeing that flower crown on his head why did he cut his shorts so short too it was fucking raining jack's too like yeah daisy duke's on he said i don't think anyone has to ask why i did that that's just yeah they know you know they need to let the gun now are you allowed to call it the gun show when it's your legs that oh i don't know yeah i mean yeah it's a canon of sorts you can call them plumpers if if you want but interesting lineup i think uh

who is it was it one of y'all was saying, like, yeah, maybe Frank Ocean will be there at weekend one, but not weekend two or at all. We're still, that's the one question mark, I feel like. Yeah, that's what people are like. It is Frank Ocean. I was like, for now, we'll see. We'll see. Yeah, yeah.

But man, I would love that. I would love to just watch that set online. I want to see bjork not necessarily coachella i have i've only seen bjork once but i love bjork okay yeah she speaks to the whales exactly as the rizzo says she got a voice that could communicate with the whales um and she does she truly does yeah and then oh and then why did it say returning to the desert calvin harris it's very confused i think calvin harris is like always there or something oh i don't know it's

weird they have four they have three headliners and then at the bottom it says returning to the desert calvin harris yeah so maybe he's just like playing all weekend long that's a weird gig huh yeah they're like where are you at it's like i'm just kind of for all the people that are trying So maybe he's just like playing all weekend long. That's a weird gig, huh? Yeah. They're like, where are you at? It's like, I'm just kind of for all the people that are trying to come down off drugs. Like there's a little room I'm in the mix for. Miles and I are appearing at the EDM tent, just being weirded out. Just asking kids if they're on drugs.

Hey, you on drugs, man? Hey, you on drugs, punk? All right. Katie Porter is trending. Yeah. Running for Feinstein seat. And people are not feeling it. People are fucking weird.

Yo. So many establishment weirdos are like, this is disrespect. Why don't you let her announce what she's doing first? Instead of jumping the gun. Well, guess what? If they wait, someone else is going to run against her and be like, she's so old, she can't really be a senator anymore. As we've heard countless times and reports from people being like, man, she's struggling out there in her old age. Like, it's not a thing.

Remember, she completely fumbled the whole Kavanaugh thing by playing nice with Lindsey Graham. There was a lot where you're like, we kind of need someone who's kind of got their shit together right now. Especially to represent California, you'd want someone who's fucking on top of it. So people said it's disrespect, but honestly, that just means someone can come out with an attack ad early

to be like, this is why she shouldn't be here, blah, blah, blah. You know, Katie Porter. Get it out of the way. She might need a gentle nudge. Yeah yeah i want to see katie porter rock her whiteboard in the senate yeah you know a lot of fun you know makes good viral content from the center floor and she's a good communicator of like complex ideas to broil them down to aren't so it sounds like you're being greedy like it's like how it all ends it's like or it sounds like you don't actually know what $200 is.

Right. What? That's how much a banana costs, right? Right. A lot of people are still talking about the deluge in California. I know a bunch of schools got rained out in Los Angeles, and they're just some wild pictures of what is happening when there is a once every thousand years storm on the regular. Yeah. And also like.

As has been predicted. And it is not stopping. It doesn't, it seems like it's going to keep happening, at least in Northern California. Fucked up part is this is going to do fuck all for the drought, you know, because like there's so much concrete and shit. Water just runs off straight into the sea. Like, and because of like, you know, the ground cover we have, like we're, we're just in a really poor position to take advantage of all these things, which is why like you see

so many people in LA and like, you'll get rid of your fucking lawn, like put a swale in your yard. So you can like start sending water back into the fucking ground. Yeah. But I mean, it's clearly going to probably provide a decent snow pack. So those rivers will be looking good later on. But yeah, I don't know it's it's it's just wild to see how the la river just went from you know zero to three thousand yeah like the la river which you might remember from terminator 2 that or greece where they had a nice drag race there it's just a concrete pit like a long concrete pit that people uh use for movie races and uh action

sequences uh it is now like full to the brim and overflowing so yeah we're just it's a it's like it's wild too when you think of like how sort of precarious the situation is even in like sacramento where like there's like that delta up there how like if but if like that thing starts overflowing and cause massive problems everywhere we talked about like that freak storm that could absolutely destroy the state um this isn't at that level but i mean we're starting to see like what happens and just with the man the like eroding hillsides and stuff like mulholland you can't't even, I don't think you can drive on still. No.

And there, there's a lot of just, it looks like a bite was taken out of a brand new, like newly paved road because of like sinkholes and shit. Yeah. Like when a sinkhole just eats half a road, it's always one of the strangest, most surreal looking things,

but yeah. All right. We'll stay safe out there and we will be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago.

We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

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? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies.

When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. And we're back. And them dogs back. Roof, roof. Is that what y'all say, Georgie? What y'all dogs say? I feel like most people with bulldogs as their mascot probably go with a little yeah yeah but they've been all over the place for the past like week week and a half georgia fans descended upon the city of los angeles

had a nice little conversation with elderly mustachioed man in a georgia hat t-shirt jacket jeans like it was and uh he he thought it was going to be a good game but he thought his bulldogs would prevail and he was right about one of those things because they put a record-breaking ass whooping on the texas christian university longhorn or uh horn frogs the one thing that was so funny aside from all the dog content like they were y'all were in the in and out making the scene going off after that victory there's like clips of that from like la twitter then there's the one of the sofi stadium i didn't realize people were going down slipping and falling because it was so wet inside the venue

like the fans and like i saw a clip of like paramedics with like people just on gurneys with like like i think lower leg injuries and shit getting wheeled around it was kind of wacky yeah there's this type of media critic that like reviews things that aren't normally reviewed like i remember there was this guy in the usa today when i was growing up who would like always review the super bowl and would just be like yeah there was like some good camera work in there but this one i give it a three star still nothing close to super bowl 12 or whatever the fuck like just working in his own like very specific world but uh there was somebody who wrote a review

of SoFi Stadium's performance. I guess they reviewed the stadium performances, and they were not impressed. They were like, that gets an F. They say it rained in Los Angeles on Monday night, and people, yeah, it's just basically, like LA in general, SoFi Stadium did not know how to act in the rain and they had no slip proof

flooring you know polished concrete is famously very gritty right sofi is like a dome but with a hole in the top yeah which is fine if unless there's a torrential downpour that is like blowing rain sideways throughout the stadium and so yeah people were getting wet the surfaces that were not meant to be wet got wet and there were all sorts of injuries so stan kronke uh it's almost like putting a handful of billionaires in charge of everything in the world is not a good idea hey speaking of putting a handful of billionaires in charge of everything in the world, Alan Weisselberg, Donald Trump's main man. What's happening with him? He's going to jail for tax fraud, it turns out.

Sentenced to five whole months. Oh, my God. So, yeah, I don't know. He's going to Rikers. So that shit ain't going to be nice. Is it really? Yeah.. He's going to Rikers, so that shit ain't going to be nice. Is it really? Yeah, we're fucking going to Rikers. Wow.

They do that to white people? Wow. Okay. Wow, he's going to Rikers. But yeah, because obviously he copped the deal, and part of it was to testify at the trial of the Trump org, where they had some fines and shit like that, and he can't appeal. But again, I'm like,'m like okay cool y'all are just saying everybody except the right people so yeah yeah wasn't supposed to be that like they

they were holding something over his head so he was going to flip so they were going to get all the information so that there was going to be a great expose on trump although i feel like at this point we've seen all uh we've exposed everything we need to expose and nobody gives a shit, I guess is the moral of that story. Yeah. So, I mean, whatever, there's little fish. Uh, what happens next? I mean, let's see. I mean, there, this is part of the Manhattan DA is like investigation into the Trump organization, which is still going on.

Cause it's fucking like an omni investigation yeah uh so we'll see so hopefully this five months is like light because he gave up so many goods we'll fucking see i'm not look we're over here being like whatever motherfucker let's see let's see the goods and then we'll we'll believe it. Elon Musk is trending again. Yes! I haven't really thought about or heard about Elon Musk in a while, but he's trending because he just entered the Guinness World Records, Guinness Book of World Records,

for the largest loss of personal fortune in history. So, salute to that man. Yeah. maybe not a good idea to put a handful of billionaires and you did it with shit before yeah yeah why couldn't it be like yeah couldn't it be like biggest large it should also be the category of like largest self-owned ever too yeah yeah like we need to make a new category for that i mean mean, I know it's not really measurable, but I guess you can measure it with the financials. Yeah. With number of crying, laughing emojis posted in a row over the course of a 24-hour period. I feel like, yeah, the media just kind of flipped the switch.

They're like, man, this guy's fucking stupid. We hate talking about him. They couldn't even keep the outrage up for the media. Or the Tesla stock started twitter or the um tesla stock rather started shitting the bed and he was like oh so maybe this isn't working yeah oh and then did you see like i heard in china they like slashed the prices of teslas and then it caused like an outrage because people who just bought teslas are like uh hello yeah he's gonna slash the fucking prices like yo give run me my fucking money. So he's, yeah.

Cool, man. Cool. He is cool. You're right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday, January 10th. We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white
