what's trending What is trending? Now I know who Charlie D'Amelio is Ah yes, TikTok famous What D'Amelio is I wonder if people have made that joke before because it's a very old person thing.

Like what the dealio. But then she's a young person that anyways, she might not even get it. Yeah, I'm almost positive she would not because I was watching the video that she is in hot water for the reason she's trending. This is for people who don't know. She's like the most famous person on TikTok, most famous child on TikTok. She does dances pretty well, like in a way that's like fairly accessible.

Like, oh, I could do that, is what you think while you're watching her do her dances. That's a good way to put it. So she is trending because, first, oh, I could do that is what you think while you're watching her do her dances. That's a good way to put it. She is trending because first of all, she's closing in on 100 mil followers. Congratulations. Wow. If you don't know who she is, she has her own donkey's drink, I think we've

mentioned before. You really need to pay more attention to culture. If you want to be pooping for a whole day straight, get that Charlo D'Amelio. Yeah. I think Jamie mentioned in our recent episode that it is very...

It's the opposite of... It has a lot of lactose. A lot of lactose. It's very lactosant. So Charlo D'Amelio is trending now. She's number one on google uh but not for the reasons charlie might want dan uh she's losing followers hand over fist oh no just when she wanted to close in on a hundred million uh she's losing followers uh for a video where her conservative rich family are just really shitting on their personal chef.

He makes them some paella and her sister Dixie is like, this is fucking gross and literally like goes and throws up outside of the house. What the fuck? Because it has it has snails in it. Now, I did not realize that her... Oh, but one of the things you were saying that she probably wouldn't even know why my joke, what D'Amelio is hilarious, is that the premise of this video

is they're all having dinner together as a family, and the premise is a famous person is coming to dinner and is going to surprise them. They don't even know who it's going to be, and the parents keep guessing. The dad's like, it would be cool if it was Dave Chappelle. By the way, he's a conservative politician, so I don't think that Dave Chappelle would be super excited to go eat with him. And the mom goes, ooh, I was hoping it would be Maya Rudolph.

What? Another person who would not eat with you. Yeah. And Charli D'Amelio or her sister, one of them, is like, yeah, I don't think it's going to be that person. So like has no idea who Maya Rudolph is, which why should she? She's, you know, she was seven

when Maya Rudolph was on SNL. Of course. But anyways, they're just being very privileged and difficult to identify with, much more difficult to identify with than you would expect based on how easy she is to identify with when she's dancing.

It's funny. Her sister dropped a video that was like, guys, do not judge someone's personality over a 15-second video. It's like, fool, your entire career is based on 15-second videos. That's the only way we judge you. It's based on your sister's 15-second videos of your sister

is your whole appeal. Good times. Anyways, disgusting, Dixie says in the video. Stop trying to cancel my parents for calling me dramatic. That's not what happened. Anyways, the NBA draft was last night. Five stars. The crying was great.

Oh, man. There were some... The crying both by the gentleman being drafted, the young man being drafted, the children, in many cases, being drafted. Lots of times. And by me. There were some real tearjerker stories. Yeah, that's nice.

Yeah, the first pick, who we talked about, the guy who doesn't know how Betty Hanna works, according to that one anecdote. So he did go first. He did. He went number one. And he got picked by the T-Wolves? By the Wolves, who I mistakenly

called the Minneapolis T-Wolves. And somebody from Minnesota was like, dude, that is a state team. We do not have a big enough state to just have a city. Yeah, literally the Minnesota T-Wolves. That's crazy. I often forget that when every other team is the Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Lakers, and then you just have the Minnesota. Yeah.

I mean, that's power. It is power, I suppose. A domain team, a region team. Yes, yes. Anyways, Anthony Edwards, isn't that a famous person's name? Yeah, that's the dude with glasses from ER. Isn't that his name? Oh, yeah, maybe.

I thought we were going to go down the Anthony Anderson lane. But yes, I think that is the dude from ER. Yeah, not the same guy. No, no, no. If that's who you're picturing as the number one pick in the NBA draft, the guy who was balding in his early 20s on ER and is now probably mid-5050s that is not who was drafted number one in the nba draft uh it was a gentleman named anthony edwards who doesn't know how uh

you can hear all about him on yesterday's trending episode but his mom and grandma had recently passed like within the same year of cancer and uh it uh, it was just, you know, just lovely to see him triumph and like tell that story and dedicate it to their memory. Um, and then the, I think the fifth or sixth pick, uh, his brother had just passed away.

Um, like from an accident, like falling and hitting his head. Very, very sad. So, uh, all around just the drama, the triumph,

five stars, five out of five. And another ball brother. Another ball brother went in the top three. Oh, LaMelo? Where'd LaMelo go to? Number three, he went to Carolina. Oh, okay. To the Charlotte Hornets.

All right. MJ's team. Okay, okay. To the Charlotte Hornets. All right. MJ's team. Okay. Okay. People seem to think that he is the steel of the draft. I'm not confident. I mean, Lonzo definitely is fine. I'm not either for dumb reasons.

Dumb reasons. I feel bad. I think my reasons are dumb. That's okay. Yeah, the only thing is all of the things they say about his game, LaMelo's game, by the way, best name of the Ball brothers, I think LaMelo is dope. But the best, like all the things they say about his game is like passing

and then the things they say aren't good about his game is like shooting and it's all the same shit that they said about Lonzo Ball, his brother's game. And they are the exact reasons he hasn't really panned out. So a little worrying. We'll see. We'll see how it goes. We'll see.

He is 6'7", and a point guard, so kind of intriguing. Okay. Rudy is trending for melting. He's melting. He's just having a run, man. We talk on tomorrow's episode about his appearance in a Pennsylvania courtroom.

We talk about how he's just all over the map. But he also recently had a press conference where his hair dye was streaming down the side of his face. He's having a Fifth Element moment. Yeah.

And he also quoted a scene from My Cousin Vinny in a weird way that almost seemed like he was hired by My Cousin Vinny to shoehorn a reference into his press conference. Hey, honestly, with Rudy, he is the kind of guy that would take a phone call or a text from literally anyone and just go with it so you know yeah no he's full full grifter mode at this point i read somewhere that he's charging like 20 grand a day for his new role in the Trump administration.

I love that. Worth it. It'd be funny if this was some super 4D chess mover. He was just like, look, I'm just trying to get as much money out of these dumbass people as I can. I don't know what I'm doing up there, but I'm just going to keep trying to cash these checks in the meantime. It was when he was talking about basically making claims that the election was being stolen in an unprecedented coup attempt by the Democratic Party and then stopped in the middle to do an ad for a cigar shop that had given him a free cigar. It was one of my favorite moments. It's ridiculous. Of all time. What a ridiculous. Of all time.

What a legend. What a legend. CIA heart attack gun is the thing that is on the front page of Reddit because just as a today I learned, but it's kismet because I'm currently just full on learning about the dark heart of the CIA, how the CIA has been behind the scenes, pulling the strings on everything for the second half of the 20th century in America.

Yeah. Y'all know how I feel about the JFK assassination, but I have some new thoughts that are going to be coming to you, coming to a theater near you. I can't. Excited. Excited for that to drop. All of this talk reminds me of that time when I feel like DARPA was a common piece of conversation

in terms of the kind of technology they were making, like sound guns and all of this stuff, where it's just like, now that stuff is actually coming into the regular rotation of, you know, the CIA actually did get that heart attack gun. It's like, it is horrifying how much money we've poured into stuff like DARPA and the kind of stuff that has come out of it.

It's like, yeah, the heart attack gun, why not? So, the CIA created a gun that would induce a heart attack in its victim it would shoot a uh a frozen piece of it was battery operated would shoot a frozen piece of uh ice wrapped around a shellfish toxin uh so it'd shoot into your body. The fuck? Melt. What? You would have a heart attack and die from the thing. But because all evidence had melted because it was made of ice, it would just seem like a heart attack.

And yeah. Do we have no way? I feel like that's the most old school mobster way of killing somebody. It's like, we killed them with the icicle. Yeah. Do we have no way? I feel like that's the most old school mobster way of killing somebody. It's like, we killed them with the icicle. Yeah. It's pretty wild. I now believe that any person who has died of a heart attack, you have to look at it again and be like, oh, yeah, the CIA took them out.

Well, what did the CIA have to hide from this person? Just keep it in mind just all i'm saying unreal uh and then there's all sorts of shit happening in michigan oh boy we got uh well first of all the national review wrote an article about how trump it was basically checkmate for trump in pennsylvania so he lost uh checkmate baby oh yeah Pennsylvania. He lost. Checkmate, baby. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Trump administration's lawsuit in Pennsylvania no longer has an accusation that could flip enough votes.

So they're not even trying. They're not even claiming that they're going to win. No. At this point, they've kind of given up the potential number of votes that could swing from Biden to Trump, even if everything in their lawsuit was true. Even in that case, which it's not, they wouldn't have enough votes to swing it.

And as this article points out, that's checkmate because you need pennsylvania in order to of all the like close all of the states yeah it nothing else matters essentially if if biden wins pennsylvania he has enough states that aren't even being disputed by the full of shit trump administration uh to to win So he won Pennsylvania. He won the election. But the way the National Review described it is interesting. The subhead,

the main problem for President Trump continues to be math. So it's not that he lost and is trying to make shit up and destabilize democracy that like one of the subjects of from seventh grade is against them or something like it's just the most abstract way like they can't i don't know they can't they can't pass algebra they keep messing it up he's just had real trouble with math yeah um how can x be a number it's a letter how can it be a number two it is uh it is worth noting though i mean this is the national review this is william f buckley also a cia agent uh his like the conservative news

source uh is basically saying it's over so uh hopefully that continues to happen because um the michigan gop trump has invited the leaders of the michigan state um republican party to the white house um to get them to like overthrow the government like they're basically it seems like like everyone's like yeah it seems like's going to try and get them to not give their electoral votes to the person who won their state.

Even the New York Times is reporting Trump tries to subvert the election, inviting Michigan GOP lawmakers to the White House after failing repeatedly in court to overturn election results. President Trump is taking the extraordinary step of reaching out directly to republican state legislatures ridiculous as he tries to subvert the electoral college process so he's just like going in and asking for a favor yeah um like they can't stop us might as well try everything since no one is stopping

him around him he's just like okay what about this what about this? What about this? What about this? Just go for it. Yeah. His whole life has been International Men's Day, which, by the way, I didn't mean to. I feel bad that I didn't wish you a happy International Men's Day. Oh, and to you as well. And to you as well. Thank you. Finally, we get our day.

Finally, we get ours. Jeez. finally we get ours she um and then also just related to the michigan uh gop kelly stafford wife of uh quarterback matt stafford said uh just had a like minute long rant on instagram stories uh matt stafford's the quarterback for the Lions of Detroit. So she is part of this Michigan GOP kind of block. And she said, I do not like living in a place where they tell me what I can and cannot do. And yeah, she said said i'm over living so the title of the video

or the first thing she says is i'm over living in a dictatorship that we call michigan um which is not how that sentence would work if it was saying what she wanted to say but no uh but then she says i do not feel like i do not like living in a place where they tell me what i can and cannot do that is her definition of a dictatorship i also like that her the next sentence following is i live once yes i live once and yet that life is not you're saying that life is not worth holding on to right it's like you're like yeah i don't want to participate in these lockdowns because i want to go live my life and potentially get coven and cut that life that i only live once short because you know yeah again well her point

isn't their strong suit she's uh she is uh she says elsewhere in the video like if you have if you're old then stay inside basically but stay the fuck out of my way because I'm Kelly Stafford I got shit to do she caps it and the idea of

that she's worried about businesses that are going to close down God bless her yeah God bless her. Yeah. God bless her. And those, those, those,

and those businesses that, you know, legit may have been able to survive. Did the whole country participate in this lockdown really quickly? Yeah. Yeah. That would have been dope. Shoot.

Yeah. Instead, just a slow boil of total destruction of the country yeah exactly kelly stafford shout out uh all right well i'm going to uh open my uh international men's day presents uh please from my family and neighbors your weights weights, your new truck, your steak.
