Yeah, I'm Jack. You are Miles. Yes, that's from Onyx. that's an onyx song not the not the rap crew oh okay with the 93 hit slam red rose star sticky fingers and the one i can never remember but the person on discord so thank you i uh i hadn't heard the names of the people in onyx or the song you just played, Slam,

before we started recording. I don't think I had heard that since like 1995. Really? You haven't heard Slam in that long? I don't think so. Because I didn't remember that their flow was all kind of... It was sort of like if DOS effects were strung

out a little bit. Right. Yeah. They fucked around with a little syncopated flow. Um, all right. Well, it is, uh, October 13th,

Wednesday. And, uh, here's some things that are trending this afternoon. Willie shats, baby. Yeah. Shats,

I guess is a weird way to shorten a name, but, um, Willie shit, William Shatner, uh, went into space and he is the oldest person to have been in space um beating tommy lee jones and clint eastwood from that movie

um but he's like how old is he william shatner 90 this motherfucker 90 wow bezos took him up to space yeah he's like hey you want to check out my new house he's like you don't own space he's like that's what you think asshole yeah he's like if i can prevent other people from getting to it i do own it right yeah but yeah it seemed like uh you know a lot of people were excited for him he He seemed excited, I guess, or nervous. But he said it's unlike anything he's ever seen. And this guy is fucking Captain Kirk. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Shatner says it's good. It's good enough for me. RBG is trending. This is from Katie Couric's book. Yep. The hits keep coming. She said that she wanted to protect RBG,

and so she edited out RBG saying that those who kneel during the national anthem are showing contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life. That's not our woke queen. Not my RBG. She must be talking about a different... Oh, no, surely not.'s not our woke queen not not my rbg she must be talking about surely not surely not was i

i can't believe i put all my eggs in this basket that this person is just an academic legal nerd who only had one black clerk her entire time on the supreme court would have such a odd outlook on what is happening, they should be grateful. You know, that... Okay, Ruth. Ain't that the truth? I'm glad we respect her wishes to remain on the court and, you know, don't

doubt her wanting to stay. You jerks. Because she can do whatever she wants. She is our queen and now we have which is you know it's just like it's one of those things too or yeah there's a lot of good stuff that she did and then you look at this and you're like right everyone's oh i guess a white person on the supreme court mostly everyone's a white person on the supreme court i mean clarence thomas you know dbd but I think like with this whole thing,

you just realize what the Supreme Court is. These are not fucking wizards who are like, are like, have Obi-Wan Kenobi type, just calm and can just look at a problem and be like, no, this is the truth. Part of it.

They're very much people who grew up in a certain era with a certain viewpoint. And, you know, it comes out in these moments where this Supreme Court justice is unable to reckon with the idea that there would be things for people of color or marginalized people to protest in this country and just reduce it to like they should be. I mean, this government made it possible for their grandparents to live a decent life as sharecroppers. Jesus Christ. Like like what are you fucking saying like that's just like that's why you're like just so much melts away and you're like you okay well moving on jamie costa is trending did you see this yeah i was just watching it moments before we started recording. So good.

Yeah. This guy, Jamie Costas, an actor who who he became, he kind of got notoriety around the time Robin Williams passed away because he was doing all these impressions of him. You're like, oh, this guy's really good. And then like a year ago, I know he did like an Obi Wan Kenobi like fan film. And I was like, oh, it's just kind of cool too, you know, for a fan film. And then he releases this clip that was, it says like Robin screen test. And it's seemingly, it's shot like it's a scene from a film that would have been a biopic about Robin Williams. Like it's this scene where he is Robin Williams on the like backstage of taping morgan mindy and he finds

out that john belushi has passed away and it's like this very just very powerful five minutes where i found myself being like who the fuck is this person and is this not a movie already because this would have won an award i feel like on some level already yeah his performance is like eerie because it starts out and he's doing like a more thing uh for more community and like just going in and out of the characters which is like kind of what you hear when you hear robin williams impersonation um and then it goes into him hearing devastating news that his good friend who he had been with the night before was just found dead and like every micro expression that he makes is you know i didn't realize i knew what robin williams looked like when when said but it's you know we he's been in as many movies as i feel

like anyone uh over the course of my lifetime and And so I was just like, holy shit, he is like nailing every one of these. Yeah, it's no small feat to nail someone who is like as dynamic with their expression as like Robin Williams was, and then to like, to truly nail it. I was sending it to like all my friends yesterday. I was like, can you believe this fucking talented asshole? Like, like what the fuck is this the fuck does this guy think he's doing

yeah and then i think the next next question everyone was asking was like is this from a actual movie or what the fuck are we looking at here and it seems like this may have just been something that he did um probably i don't know a better a better way to put yourself in the shop window than to be like, hey, assholes, look at this thing. Huh? Hire me. Yeah, his Wikipedia says he's best known for the likeness of Robin Williams. That makes it sound like he just looks like him.

He's best known as some guy who looks like Robin Williams, but he seems like a very talented person who absolutely channels robin williams and i think it's weird it's not you you wouldn't see a thing that was just like made on spec like speculative speculatively but to become viral like this and i think that's just a testament to how much he was like you know embodying this person and and i think just for that just because of how impressive it is it's being shared and i think that there's something to that i i feel like this should be a thing though like i feel like i i'm surprised there hasn't been more like this because production quality can be so high now in the hands of

you know people with much lower budgets yeah like why not just like fucking just absolutely nail a character uh really hard and like get it to go viral i'm just saying why not miles you know i mean we'll find them like hey dude we'll buy a couple iphones man let's make this thing i'm i'm saying the quincy jones uh i don't know man i'm just putting it out there that would be a wild comedy man they're not fucking ready for this shit uh let's take a quick break we'll be right back. session 24 hours BPM 110 120 she's terrified should we wake her up 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

Herschel Walker, who is a former nfl great um and he is now a republican shithead and he was about to do a fundraiser with a woman who he had not done a tremendous amount of research on it would seem who could blame him for doing not doing any research at all so uh the the page was at bettina vtx yeah this person wanted to do a fundraiser for herschel walker and her twitter avatar is a swastika made of syringes yeah because uh vaccine you know yeah and we can all agree vaccine you know oh of course of course of course the hersel walker spokeswoman said this is clearly an anti-mandatory vaccination graphic okay wow what a euphemistic way to describe a swastika made of syringes yeah so got the angles and the circle and everything huh did she not notice the that it was in the shape of a swastika when she

put it what's a swastika is the next thing well i don't know what a swastika is what is a swastika and so i i actually you know how some people are like i don't see color i actually don't see swastikas i don't see hate height hate iconography so oh yeah these two light i guess maybe you're the racist one for having seen the swastika because i didn't even notice it i was just looking at five syringes this is a noose tattoo on my neck oh i thought it was like a fun sailing knot oh okay see i'm blind to this stuff oh gosh that's embarrassing so yeah it went with first denying that there was anything bad you know this was all very above board and then suddenly it's like uh he has canceled the fundraiser with this supporter who had the swastika in her twitter profile so lavar ball is trending uh he has shown off some new uh big baller brand shoes that are retailing for prices that you normally in the sneaker game only see in like

uh i guess hype like shitty high fashion like luxury brands like a gucci right sneaker you know or uh like resale like right right right goat or stock x or something and yeah it's like 600 is that what is six between 695 and 895 depending on the shoe these all just look like they look like the shape of an adidas stan smith yeah there's stan Adidas Stan Smith. Yeah. There's Stan Smiths with like ugly colors and big baller brand logos. One of them has like a. One says, I told you so in flames. Oh my God. And this is by. That is so cool.

We have to take this over again. I didn't realize it said, I told you so. I'm sorry. That is actually fucking awesome. Let's start that over. Yeah. Let's take this again. Go.

Yo. So LeVar Ball's trending? LeVar Ball's trending because he just dropped the hottest sneaker I've ever seen. Okay, say less. So at first, it might look weird because it's black and then it has flames on it. And that kind of looks like a third grade art project. Like, shit. Doo-doo.

To quote the, this is important soundboard um but it then i realized it says uh a phrase that i think we can all agree is cool and a cool thing a cool sentiment to get out there right now it is uh i told you so oh hell yeah i'm buying this yeah this look this photo of lavar ball sitting over i'm trying this he's he's imitating a famous picture isn't he i feel like i've seen this post because lavar ball's at a big old desk with four loose sneakers in front of him and he's he's like has his like index finger to his temple as he like looks his creations. It feels like something like an early Walt Disney photo or like a fucking Steve Jobs

type thing. This pose I feel like is evoking another image and I can't quite put my finger on it. Or like a picture of a president at work. He's in a suit at a very distinguished looking desk with a big ass leather chair

behind him and they have seen pictures of like clinton deep at work um right but yeah it's there's something i feel like it's like there's i don't know i i feel like i've seen this thing before but it could just be this idea of like hey man i'm i'm so fucking important and thinking take this photo right now yeah i've got my index finger to my temple okay tell me these shoes aren't worth 700 anyways uh i uh will be wearing the i told you so because that is a cool phrase right now to like because the the most annoying people in the world are not going around saying i told you so and i was right about this and uh do your own research and shit like that so uh goth hospital finally uh the story that i'm sure you guys were all waiting for us to

talk about um yeah i think this is a i think this is a fake viral image it's saying this there's a u.s map of porn hub's most common search terms by state the last time porn hub because you know porn hub has an insights page where they would like they'll release interesting data based on searches they have not released anything like this i think the last time they did it was from what i can tell the week during the election um and but this one has like it just feels like a meme because it's almost like distilling certain states down to like weird what they think are fetishes in the state so like the west coast is like a lot of like asian and then the southeast will say like the searches are for ebony and then florida highest

searches boats so i'm like yeah nah this is just a fucking joke one but the reason they think that porn hub is the only website on the internet like i just want to see boats man right or just or the idea that they floridians have to get off the boat boat based porno boat based porn yeah you know uh but yeah and then goth hospital came up because oklahoma stop search was goth hospital and everyone was like what goth hospital and i think i'm like well done whoever jokester did all this nonsense um is it uh what what is the one that is above New Mexico? Is that Utah that has droopy balls?

I want to check. No, that's not Utah. Is that Colorado? Colorado. Droopy balls. Let's hear the silver bullet. Straight from Colorado. The Tennessee's is Kevin James.

I do like whoever wrote this because they just like put these three, sprinkle these three throughout that are Michigan is steps or no racist. Just as racist. Like what? Well done. Yeah. Have you seen, did you watch the Dodgers game that Tom Cruise was that by the way,

I know this isn't like something that I have a lot to say about but he looks like a different human being yeah this definitely i i i see the picture that you put in there he looks i don't know he finally looks at the age which is right like an old dude who looks like shit right so i i was watching the game and did not believe that it was him because it yeah it just looks like whatever magic potion like just poofed whatever whatever uh spell he was under or he's allergic to dodger dogs he does look so some people are saying that he had, that this is like him with some swelling because he had some sort of plastic surgery. Which seems like what we're looking at. From the cheeks down? Yeah.

Yeah. Because his eye bags are there and shit. Yeah. I don't know. I just fucking respect to him for going out. Looking like shit. Looking like shit. Not being such a... What is he...

He looks like something... It almost looks like when Martin Short used to do Jiminy Glick. Yeah. It has Jiminy Glick vibes. It has... Some people were like, Is Tom Cruise preparing for the role of Norm MacDonald? Yes!

That's what it is. Yeah, when Norm got real puffy-faced for a while. But again, I'm like, I don't know, dude, this dude looks like an old guy who's... I don't know, he looks like a piece of shit. But it looks like Tom Cruise is under three hours worth

of prosthetics. He had to sit in a chair to look like that. But look, I mean, this man is 59 years old. Right. I don't know how long you can keep expecting him to look like he's 40. Yeah.

Anyways, those are the things that are trending, uh, today. Uh, we are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show until then be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves.
