AJ in the building. And hey, Miles, why don't we tell these people. I thought we were doing an ad for a second. What's a trending? Hey, Miles. No, I did not pop out of the closet behind you um you are broadcasting in the closet so you didn't break the rules of popping out yeah exactly unexpected unannounced anyway what's trending what's going what's trending very sadly

naya rivera is trending um so uh the body was, uh, discovered floating in the lake where she had disappeared, uh, earlier, like six days ago, I guess. Um, and yeah, it's just brutal. Uh, I think a lot of people had kind of known that that's what happened, but fucking water not to be fucked with. It's very, very scary shit. Very sad. It's just the whole thing really is tragic because especially when like finding about the circumstances

involving her son just being found and like that sort of childlike confusion of not knowing where your parent is, but it's so bleak in the description. your parent is but it's so bleak in the description uh yeah i i just hope for much peace uh for that family yeah for that child hashtag recall gavin 2020 uh is trending it seems like across the political spectrum people not loving gavin news. Right now, he just announced that we're doing the back step of the dance. We're doing, there was the hammer, now we're doing the dance, and we're stepping back from having anything open.

Bars, restaurants, movie theaters, all closing down across California. Anywhere where you would be indoors with a large group of people because the coronavirus has kind of stormed back, and there appears to be no brawl. Stormed back, or we just basically left the door open the whole time. You know what I mean? So we just basically said, come on in. It wasn't like, whoa, I don't know what happened.

They really got us there in the fourth quarter no yeah that's why it's funny like the people on the right are mad at him because you're like what i can't go to my favorite name this chain restaurant and do the thing that and then there's people who are maybe more science-based humans who are like, we should cancel this man because he should have never opened the state in the first place. To begin with, yeah. He caved to the Chamber of Commerce, the AstroTurf anti-mask brigades and all that shit. Because I get it. We've seen the documentation from lobbyists uh in other states about the the pressure that was coming from the chamber of commerce on some of these local leaders

but damn like it almost sounds like you this is you you're stupid like you're you're stupid you're stupid yes the it's interesting because you know we have seen new y York go from the capital of the world, the worst case scenario for the world, down to, I think, over the weekend, they had a day without a single COVID death. So it can be done. Obviously, the government and the local population are taking the threat and how willing they are to stand up to people who are kind of pushing back because of discomfort. There's a photograph on the front page of Reddit this week that was from the 1918 Spanish flu. And it is somebody wearing a mask and they're holding a sign that says wear a mask or go to jail so uh it's been it's been a problem for a while but uh that's that's how they dealt with it back then i'm just telling you it's that american mentality the country was built on the idea of man fuck you gonna tell me what to do yeah so but it was also built by a bunch of uh

white people who love wearing masks i mean let's talk come on let's bring hamilton back one more time baby they don't talk lower your voices this is the other thing i was after watching hamilton i'm really mad washington has bars yeah i'm really mad though at the historians for not mentioning to us that i'm pretty sure thomas jefferson is black and so is james madison and george washington might also so i don't know man some a lot of thinking you do when you watch ham. I got real into the soundtrack when it first came out and now having rewatched it, it's

like a section of my brain that had been dormant that has just phrases from the play running through it at all times has just been litten back up and it's taken up bandwidth from the part of my brain that knows not to say words like Litten.

Or your own kids' names. Yeah, yeah. And you there. The little guy. Theodosius. Theodosia. Apparently people named their daughters after the mother back then more than is common these days. One of the many indisputable facts you learn.

Yeah, exactly. Come on, Mary Jr. Let's go. Earthquake is trending. And not because one just happened. Not because of the and one baller or the comedian. Earthquake is trending because apparently the chances of the big one happening on the San Andreas just went up. How are we, how's that?

Is the rubber band getting pulled back further or something? Dude, I mean, the rubber band is going off so hard that that they might rename it to the ti fault line i don't know what is what i think apparently because of the ridge ridge crest tremblers that were going on uh they were saying that basically increases a large earthquake on the San Andreas pretty significantly. So, I mean, all that to say that there is now a 2.3% chance of an earthquake magnitude 7.5 or greater in the next 12 months.

In the next 12 months? Yes, there's a 2.3% chance of that happening in the next 12 months. That's really high. Jesus. Yeah. Which sets up a whole other conversation around how prepared are we on top of all this earthquake science usually they'll be like yeah

there's a you know 30 chance that in the next thousand years you're gonna get something the fact that they're giving you two point something in the next 12 months is pretty pretty scary yeah i think technically it's like i think tripled yeah that's yeah that's scary certain certain aspects i mean there are other fault lines where there's like the garlock fault line it went up to like one some other you know like single digit percentage but that was a hundred times increase of the likelihood for like this other part. So I think when you look at things like that, where they're like,

nah, we're going to call that about of a multi multiplier of about a hundred. Yeah. So yeah, if you live in Southern California, please have all of your supplies ready because that is, if you have not lived here during a significant earthquake, the infrastructure does go out,

and you will need to be able to fend for yourself for a little bit, at the very least. Yeah. And infrastructure being, like, I can't. Power. Domino's takes, like, 45 minutes. The Wi-Fi is all slow now. I got to watch.

Wait, hold on. I'm watching this in 360p on YouTube? Okay. All right. I might as well move to name this place. Netflix slows down. Yeah. All right.

And finally, HIPAA is trending. HIPAA. HIPAA. Hooray. Thank you so much. Yeah, this is so there's this photo uh that mark levin uh just really super super cool conservative uh is there any other kind yeah he tweeted out a photo of a looks like not Barack Obama's hand, and I say that because this part's important,

holding a bottle of an anti-malarial drug from 2008. And the tweet that he put is, Obama's hydroxychloroquine from 2008 is what this looks like. The prescription date is around july 2008 um and everyone is like what are you even talking about sir uh the reason hippa is trending because like i isn't that like a hippo violation by like just putting somebody's prescription on but like blast like a i don't think you can do that and then other people were pointing out it's like it's not hydroxy chloroquine it's it's a malarial it's just a it's malarone but right i guess because you travel to a place where malaria is still common yes but it's not like he went to somewhere where oh wait he did

he did he did go to uh i forget where it was in Africa, like around that time where that's what it all came from. But I don't know, again, just desperate attempts at trying to normalize hydroxychloroquine without even having a photo of it. And then on top of it, it's like, for what? What is it all for? What would Obama, having used a drug that we already know is for is an anti-malarial drug uh in 2008 what would that prove about the use of hydroxychloroquine for like i can't even track the logic of of what yeah and it's not even it's malarone right it's then i guess so i guess if you really boil it down, it's like, well, look, see, Obama liked it. And if Obama used it, it can't be that bad.

But at the same time, gentlemen and ladies of the right wing trollosphere, motherfucker, your boy just put on a mask. So by that logic, they should be like marching up and down the streets, screaming about wearing masks because dear leader threw one on too. And I can be like, you see, Trump's got a mask on too. Uh, that is a dope branded mask that,

uh, with that little presidential seal. I do love that. The coverage of that moment was people being like game on Biden. And like, as if like the, wait, really like the all the aids like the par scales and you know the fucking sycophants in orbit of like the trump campaign they were all like dunking on like using this to be like oh dude biden's fucked man trump's got a mask. That means he's actually taking this pandemic seriously now. So you better prepare COVID-19. The last four months, okay, you had us. But now he's got a mask

on. There's so everything about it. It's like the only thing that communicates to me is that Trump has finally realized he needs to wear a mask. And either he knew it was wrong the whole time, or he realized now it's wrong. And now he's wearing one. Either way, y'all don't win. Right. All right. Well, those are four things that are trending right now. Miles, where can people find you, follow you? The Daily Zeitgeist, man.
