Shout out to you. I'm Jack. That is DJ Danil. Hello. How's it going? Good, man. Filling in for Miles. Filling in for Miles.

Sweet man, Miles. And then I'm out tomorrow, so it's going to seem like we're uh we're fighting again god bless the internet i'll be out on tomorrow's trends not tomorrow's episode right you'll be there tomorrow yeah um all right daniel shall we tell the people what uh is trending right now let's do it i'm into it wow i like i like hearing you say my name it's it's uh it's like a nice handshake um indeed so obviously daniel army hammer is trending um right we'll be covering this tomorrow uh or uh miles and super producer anna an Anna has been doing a deep dive.

Yes. I'll just say Believe Women. Yes. Yeah, she's been doing a bunch of research on it. Couldn't make it to today's recording, but she'll be on tomorrow afternoon's Trends to tell you what's happening. Brie Larson is trending.

Yes. And it's not. Brie Larson is trending. Yes. And it's not... Did you see the video? Yeah, I did see the video. Yeah. So she answered an online multiple choice quiz. They were like, you're 10 years old, what are you doing at recess?

And it was like in the woods, like being a shaman to other like nature kids playing sports, you know, blah, blah, blah. And one of them was in the library on the internet searching, am I gay or how do I know if I'm gay? And she picked that one. So on its face, her saying that when she was 10 years old she thought she might be gay doesn't mean anything

Macklemore in that one song said he thought he was gay when he was a kid because he cleaned up his room or some shit but I feel like there's more to the Brie Larson sort of sapphic vibes like yeah I mean she's like talked about I don't know she's hinted more to the Brie Larson sort of sapphic vibes. Like,

okay. Yeah. I mean, she's like talked about, I don't know. She's hinted. She's dropped hints here and there, which is why I think this is blowing up a little bit more than it would be if

it was somebody else. Hey, people love, people love to a ship a relationship and yeah. Any sort of, any sort of hints that the internet can take they're going to go all the way with them and was it tessa thompson and her that were uh people were shipping like probably years ago i were um in a movie together and being very flirty online and

people were like please please make this happen you're reading a fanfic online you realize that everybody has a relationship they're supposed to be in for somebody else um and then thanos began trending because uh some mega chud tweeted like hey since we're all tweeting about brie larson here's a video of thanos kicking her ass. And then people were like, but that's not really what happens in that video. And also, I think Thanos is trending just generally always. And so it just takes a tiny little blip to make him appear in the top 10 because a lot of modern Americans' brains can't work

through any filter other than the Marvel universe. It's got to be Marvel. It's good guys versus bad guys. And so, you know, that's all there is. What if I put a messy Trump wig on Thanos? Now that, I'm just saying. That's an epic meme. Hey.

Lincoln is trending. Again, another thing that's always like sort of background trending and so it just takes a little blip to make it pop into the top 10 this is just uh how the internet works but the blip is coming from the fact that uh a trump staffer was seen on cnn uh carrying a bust of abraham l Lincoln out of the White House, leading to speculation that the Trump administration might be looting the White House, which would be 100% to be expected in line with everything about him, his philosophy, his penchant for you know he had that uh when the looting starts the shooting starts tweet uh and of course anything that he accuses someone else of he is usually guilty of so that would also uh make sense right and it was uh the beginning of the multitude of things being carried out of the west wing today including like pictures and a stuffed bird like they're just like right they are eluding it yeah

i mean some like the picture was of trump which i can't imagine anyone's going to want to still be in the white house i feel like the general uh institutionalists will want his uh any trace of his time in office just uh erased from history uh but you can't erase it guys can't erase it it happened uh unfortunately um sigfried and roy are trending because sigfried died uh i think roy had died a few years back um r.i.p uh mr rogers's wife died uh joanne other famous part of a famous duo uh r.i.p to a queen uh betty white is trending uh and it's not because she died because she's about to turn 99 you almost got me man you cannot kill betty white uh uh knock on wood you can't i mean that will just be when the end of the world happens i know i know it's like you know after that it's like okay well it's truly all downhill

from here so disneyland is trending this is a big deal in southern californ. They have decided they're ending their annual pass for Disneyland in particular, not Disney World. Disneyland's annual pass was something that, as the LA Times kind of described it in their article announcing this, changed the culture of Disneyland

from being a tourist destination exclusively to being something that you know tourists would obviously travel to uh but it was also a thing that like people there were super users of the disneyland annual pass who would go there daily yes uh there were gangs of super users uh the magic rabbits i think is one of their names oh wow they just i mean there were there weren't like uh you know gun fights it was usually just knife fights but uh they they yeah potato to the mickey lot i will see you there yeah they had little feuds. So basically, Disneyland is putting an end to this because that is usually want to treat your most loyal customers well. But in this case, it's a loyal customer that's probably hurting their main product, Disneyland's main product, and that it's making it more crowded.

product disneyland's main product and that it's making it more crowded uh these are people who are you know they they're it's almost like they're gaming the system a little bit okay um which more power to them but i just think that's why disney is doing it um and then somebody was also pointing out that uh they they think that the annual pass members were in the seven figures um and so that's a lot of crowding that they'll be avoiding by ending that my god yeah seven figures yeah jesus that's a lot of people i did not think the numbers were that i mean i'm they say that when the number is like 1.1 million right yeah yeah like in the seven figures means that it's probably in the high a single million yeah um but still that's that is a lot of people that is a lot of people um have you have you ever had a disney pass as somebody

who grew up in socal i personally have not but but i have probably a dozen friends that i could think of who were annual pass holders uh some of them lived in irvine and were like oh yeah that was like you know go there like every friday saturday and just like chill just like you know go go ride space mountain three times and come home and that was like you know when their mom would drop them off for the day and that was every weekend for a lot of my friends in high school. Or for some of my friends in high school, I shouldn't say a lot. But definitely had some annual pass holder friends for sure. So the thinking is that crowding is going to be a huge issue when it reopens

because there's a year of backup of all that Disney energy. All that magic. All that Disney magic just building up, backed up in people and uh so there's going to be a big explosion of people wanting to go to the park and this is only kind of going to make it more crowded uh and so uh and this is probably something that they were thinking about doing anyways yeah so that is big news a sad day for the true disney heads out there uh yeah you think you know there's there is some talk that they're merely sunsetting the concept and we'll bring it back with stricter regulations or different windows because the the the annual pass holder interaction with disney

has changed over the years in different ways it's like some people had to reserve windows when they were able to go, and it was becoming less of the just like free pass. Yeah, the kind of exactly Disney experience. So there's some thoughts that we might be seeing the annual pass again with a different packaging, different branding. Pour out a Dole Whip for them. Is there a liquid? Dole Whip's not really liquid.

What's the Disney liquid?'s a what's yeah but still seems so right yeah i mean we're about to we got blue milk there now so you know oh yeah pour out a blue milk for him um cherry or tom holland is actually what's trending uh he is showing a new side of himself uh in a new movie called cherry that is about a uh i think it's based on a a novel no i think it might be based on a memoir of a uh a army veteran who went and fought uh in one of the forever wars came back got addicted to drugs became a bank robber um and he's playing that character, which is not who people are used to seeing Tom Holland. Not sweet little Tom Holland. Not sweetie little Tommy.

But the trailer looks pretty dope. So I will probably check it out. Or I would have probably checked it out. But it's on Apple movies or whatever. I want to ask you a question about something i feel about actors and it's just you know you can be quick with your answer but there's sometimes when i feel that media coverage of a single person is so great or their social media presence is so great that at a certain point whatever movie they're in i'm

not seeing the character they're playing i'm just seeing the actor oh yeah my main examples of that are emma stone and um uh christ what's his name from super bad and uh and uh money ball and then michael sarah oh jonah hill jonah hill thank you yeah so she's yeah i mean like anytime i see them in a movie it's just them no matter what character they're playing. I think Tom Holland, how do you feel? Yeah, I'll have to see this movie. I'm also not a huge Tom Holland head, but I feel like not in any respect that I don't like him, just that I haven't seen a lot of his stuff.

But I think it's a continuum, right? Yeah. but I think it's a continuum, right? Yeah. I think Tom Hanks is probably like Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, George Clooney are on one end where they come to a movie, Mark Wahlberg, similar. They're movie stars who are themselves. You build a movie around their gravitational pull

of the personality they always inhabit right and then the they're the actors who like disappear into a role and it's always like somewhere in between but i agree like especially now that part of who a celebrity is and like who how we interact with them is their social media presence yeah there there's an added layer there right where it's like those performances on social media where they're playing themselves and being entertaining and talented kind of add to what we see when we go to see one of their movies um so it's yeah i i think it does like kind of take things in that direction um for sure i agree with that okay that's uh that was a very long-winded way of saying yes you're right uh

it's i i love your i love your viewpoint on it um and then finally urban meyer is trending uh which is just a cool name that somebody made up. That's a great name. I gotta say, Urban Meyer is a dope name. He is one of the most successful college football coaches of all

time. Started at Bowling Green. I did not realize this. Took over and immediately they began winning. Was then hired at Florida. Took over immediately. They began winning. Ohio State in 2011 had a three and something record.

They were super terrible. He took over the next year. They were 12 and 0. He's just like a great college football coach. He has now announced that he's going to become the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have the first pick in next year's NFL draft. And there is a quarterback, uh,

named Trevor Lawrence. Trevor. That's where I got it wrong. Trevor. Uh, he looks like a Trevor too. He's the, uh,

Clemson quarterback who that girl like hat was a lookalike of and took all those pictures. Oh, exactly like him a few years back. That's funny. Okay. Mainly what he's internet famous for, but urban meyers on record saying he thinks he's uh the best college football quarterback of all time um and he is going to be the number one pick in the nfl draft so i think you know in the n, you need a great quarterback to build around.

He thinks he has it in Trevor Lawrence. And so he's going to the team that's going to draft him. And, you know, they won one game this year, Jacksonville. So he's definitely starting from a low place. Low expectation, you know, under promise, over deliver. Yeah, I think he's gonna do pretty well there i've always found him annoying though because he's he does the thing where he if anything like starts going wrong with the team he resigns and is like i just need to spend more time with my family um having stress-related health issues and it's always uh i't know. I don't know why that bothers me.

Maybe because my dad was a coach who never resigned to spend time with us. Sorry. That's not true. He always just got fired. No, that's not true. He didn't always get fired. Very successful career. Sorry, dad.

I just found out that my mom has been listening to the show. So, anyways, that's it. That's what's trending. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Very good one. We will talk to y'all then.

Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Stay inside. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll talk to you all tomorrow. Bye.
