You'll find out what that is a reference to at the end of the episode. We should do that from now on.

The name of the trending episode is a tease for the last episode. Oh, that's fine. For the last story of the episode? Yeah, yeah. And why it might kill you. More on that at the end of the episode. Oh, that's fine. For the last story of the episode? Yeah, yeah. And why it might kill you. More on that at the end of the episode. I am Jack. That is Mr. Badabingus.

Badabungus. Badabungus. Thank you very much. DJ Daniel Goodman. What's happening? Not a mucho, Jack. How you doing? I'm doing all right.

That's good. All right. Wild, wild times in the news. Yeah. That's good. Wild times in the news. Yeah. The big news story is that former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated while giving a campaign speech in Nara. Nara, Japan.

Shot twice with a homemade shotgun by 41-year-old Tetsuyo Yamagami the former japan maritime self-defense force officer yeah it's uh you know on camera uh very on camera very upsetting like so i think what one of the things that happens every time there is a highly public homicide is that people sit back and wait or start speculating on social media about like why this murder happened and like try to politicize it. And you just like, wait, you're like, Oh man,

I hope they're not like my side. Yeah, exactly. So I saw some takes with people being like, it was probably, it must've been a Korean. No Japanese person would do this like that was an early take and i saw people being like uh well well there there was

they tried to make it seem like the person who did it uh was a socialist by uh posting pictures of a famous game designer? Yes, indeed. Yeah. Mistaking the killer for Hideo Kojima. She posted a bunch of pictures of him wearing Che Guevara shirts, which is very funny. Yeah, but that seems to be the way it goes these days, is they try to find the picture that makes them look like the most interesting sicko picture that makes them look like the most interesting sicko or you know most politically expedient uh you know cartoon version of what they want it to be right um but it turns out it was just

a 42 year old former uh i guess japanese maritime selfefense Force is like a military institution. Something like that. The police are saying there was no political motivation, and instead they thought the prime minister was involved in a specific organization, like probably an Illuminati type thing would be my guess, and that his grudge wasn't political. a naughty type thing would be my guess and that his grudge wasn't political so it sounds like another take people have been as like see gun control doesn't save you but i think this is like one of 10 but one of like is like single digit gun fatalities in japan in the last year. 2021, Japan had exactly one gun-related homicide.

Right. One. And if you see the stupid-looking gun that the person used, you recognize that they had to work very hard to do this. Literally. And there would just be, if Japan had the same gun laws as us, there would be a lot more deaths because that's just how it works. It has nothing to do with people or the TV shows that they watch. Canada doesn't have the same loads and loads of gun homicides that we do.

Anyways, it's still a developing story. Obviously, horrifying. And we will know more probably the next time we record a trending. Joe Biden came with the executive order. He finally brought the hammer.

I'm glad he did this. So it's an executive order to protect the reproductive rights of American citizens. It does not make abortion legal again. But it formalizes the actions I announced right after the decision and will add new measures to protect women's health. And yeah, it's weird it wasn't on deck when they passed the bill since we knew the... or when they passed the Supreme Court decision since we knew that was happening.

Also weird that it... He was like, but you still have to vote. The two messages were like, I'm passing this and you have to vote, which I get. He was very specific about the voting thing. He was like, we need two more senators, and we need to maintain control of the House, which I thought was actually better than the messaging of,

you just got to vote, people. Vote harder, and the world gets better. I would say it's 10% better. Here's my question to you. Which two senators do we need? which two senators do we need? Which two senators do we need? Yeah Well, they need to flip

two Republican Right, we need to flip two Republican seats Can you say off the top of your head and I understand that I'm kind of quizzing you live on air right now and I don't know the answer either and I think that's part of the messaging that is the problem is that there are specific things that we could do, but saying we need to flip two Senate seats is just as effective as saying you need to vote.

It's like the messaging needs to be pointed. The actions need to be direct. And it's like, you know, I don't know. Anyway, that's all I'm adding to the vote messaging, which has annoyed me is that like, just be specific. Just say exactly what needs to be done. Just don't wishy-wishy. I know it's all about short messages or what are easy to get across to people, but just be direct. Just say exactly what it is

because that's what's going to make the difference. Right. We need to take dead aim at these five Senate seats. Yes. Yeah, that would have been more effective. So let's get more specific. I will say he was specific in his messaging around the script that he was reading.

The name Ron Burgundy is trending. I've talked before about the fact that I need to have the words exactly right. I will read anything on the prompter when i'm uh doing the copy for daily zeitgeist but joe biden pulled a real burgundy while while addressing the nation on this important executive order can we play the audio because it's actually worse than you think consistently higher than the percentage of the men who do so. End of quote. Repeat the line. Women are not without... Oh, boy.

... and or political or maybe precise, not and or, or political power. He even kind of stumbled on the end there being like, well, let me be precise. Kind of stumbled. Big stumble. Yeah. So, I don't know. It's not great. End of quote. repeat the line.

And at that point, he does lean in. I think maybe he's trying to do like a listen to me now, but it does read as a let me read that again because I don't think I got it right the first time. It's just, you know, whatever they were giving him during the campaign um maybe maybe start pepping him up with that again give him the pep old hollywood style give him the pep pills one more time yeah give him the pep pills yeah the shots that they got in that episode of

mad men when they just like really wound up i'm almost willing to give him a pass here as someone who misread a recipe last night while making dinner and didn't put enough beans into the bean burger patties that we made. Because the messaging was slightly not specific enough, but that's really on me for not reading carefully. And, you know, we're all human. We all do it. It would be as though you had, like, put a colon in because you saw a colon on the page or something.

I would be worried about you if you did what the president just did while addressing the nation. I would be like, damn, man, we need to let's go see a neurologist. Let's figure out what's going on. Pardon me if I don't know how presidential speeches work. Don't they look at it beforehand, or is he really seeing this on the

teleprompter for the first time? I think he's a very busy man. And also, even if you looked at it beforehand, that's not helping that much. Cause I mean, apparently not. I think he has like a good grasp of things that happened to him in his

twenties and thirties and forties and not much after that. And so he's getting up there and he's like, hey, what the heck? I'm the president? Yeah, what the heck? Hot damn, Jack. Come on.

That's pretty pretty all right. Anyways, let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we will finally get to the big question.

What did we say? Trend of the pup? Trend of the pup. What the heck does that mean? What the heck does that mean? What the heck does that mean? Impossible to know until the end of this episode. I'm Jess

Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers,

church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration.

It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her.

What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. And we're back brett kavanaugh was deprived of his right to enjoy his morton steakhouse dinner and this is by the way the red font special on the front page of drudge that's when like something's getting a lot of attention a lot of heat they put it in red font yep uh the story kavanaugh forced to escape dc steakhouse threw back due to protesters um basically protesters showed up uh when they found out he was you know going out in public like he hadn't just uh you know taking rights away from half of the country

over half the country also outside of the restaurant just to be special note this isn't like a Ted Cruz situation where somebody's coming up to them at their table, which is also totally chill, just by the way. Totally chill. But this is outside of the restaurant. So according to him, I actually didn't see them. I'm actually not sure who you're talking about. That

sound? Oh, I thought it was the wind. I ate a delicious dinner and left before dessert because I'm a good boy. that's not a direct quote but it's like basically he was like he's like i don't even see him i just had a good dinner and left before dessert yeah we're good here because he he heard that you just ignore people and they'll go away we need to make sure that doesn't happen but then morton's had to go and blow up his story. A rep for the chain steakhouse sent political reporter Daniel Lipman this statement. Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protesters.

Unruly. Unruly. Really, you know, scary stuff. Unruly. Protesters while eating dinner at, really scary stuff, unruly. Protesters, while eating dinner at our Morton's restaurant, politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There's a time and place for everything.

Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency um so i mean you know i missed that part of the constitution that said you had a right to eat dinner i forgot that part yeah that's at morton's uh but seriously fuck these people they should never feel comfortable going out in public again. Ever. Bad person. I also, like, that's a good glimpse into how these people talk to each other, like, at country clubs and, you know, the fancy places that they go where they're like, it's getting really bad out there. Yeah.

I mean, and, like, we, I'm going to move to Montana at this point because, you know, very coded language about how concerned they are about, uh, how bad it's getting out. Right. Also, also nice little analysis of the clientele of a place like Morton's and the

cost benefit analysis they did of, should we just stand by him? Which, which group of people do we want to alienate from our restaurants? Which business do we want to lose? They're like, you know, we're going to stick with the,

uh, stick with the regressives. that works for me i like that they opened the quote by like addressing him as if he were like a religious uh premier honorable supreme court justice kavanaugh um yeah politics regardless of your side or views um it's just a difference of opinion where our side of the opinion goes and removes all of your rights to health care let's see nope is trending yes this is fun they apparently like after the making of the film they very carefully disassembled the set and brought it to Universal Studios about 20 minutes from where I live where I'm recording right now and reset it up

and it will be like a little nope world that you can visit with your family and friends and yeah so the I thought it was just happening like it was alien stuff happening to a horse farm but apparently there is a small amusement park.

And so that is what's happening. Jupiter's Claim is the name of the small place from the newest trailer for Nope. Have you seen the newest trailer? The latest trailer? Oh, no, I haven't. I've just seen all the trailers from like a couple months ago. I saw the first trailer and was like, wow, this seems very kind of like western-y. But now the newest trailer honestly gives me more, whether you take this as a positive or negative, I think it's completely up to you.

But kind of a little bit more of a Mars Attacks vibe. Like there's definitely a change in my perception of the attitude of the movie after the latest trailer. I'm still going to see it. I'm pretty sure I'm still going to love it. But I think I'm adjusting what my expectation of the seriousness of the movie is based on the newest trailer. Damn. Mars Attacks is not what I was getting from that at all. Neither was I.

But watch this newest trailer. That's all I'm going to say about that. I think I'm not going to watch the newest trailer and just disagree with your characterization. Totally. I've been there. I've been there. But that's coming out a couple weeks from now. Yeah, July 22nd.

Very exciting. At your local theater. DoorDash is trending. Glitched gave everyone free food, tequila, and contraceptives. Yeah. I can't imagine it was just those products that were being given away for free. But those are the ones that the New York Post chose to highlight.

And we know the New York Post is always justified in all of its posting. Every single one of their headlines is just full of nuggets of truth and uh good characterizations of the story the original shit poster the new york post the og yeah the og new york shit poster tale of the pup oh yeah baby let me tell you something nothing better than a little local los angeles, eh? So, yeah, a classic. There's a style of architecture that I'm going to look up right now because that looks like the thing. Yes, it does. So it's also an icon from movies.

It is a building-sized hot dome. Yes, that is. Yes, so novelty architecture, programmatic architecture, or mimetic architecture. There we go. I think mimetic is the word we're looking for. It's basically architecture that looks like the thing that it is. Imagine a basket factory that's shaped like a basket

or a hot dog stand shaped like a hot dog. Or a banana stand shaped like a banana. You friggin' nailed it yes indeed indeed so uh here in los angeles a old los angeles staple opened in 1946 called tail of the pup is finally being reopened this is from an eater la article from one of our favorite writers farley elliott shout out farley the big friend of the pod um yeah tail of the pup is reopening on july 20th national hot dog day so if you're in Los Angeles, get in line. I will be there just guzzling glizzies, eating them hot dogs,

and I will be FaceTiming whoever requests it to get a little glizzy FaceTime with your boy eating a hot dog. It's going to be great. I can't wait. Can't support the way that sounds, FaceTime glizzy. FaceTime glizzy. FaceTime glizzy. Well, there you go. Tale of the Pup, an icon of Los Angeles

that you probably thought still existed, but it didn't. But now it's going to. Boom. It's coming back, baby. DJ Danil, where can people

find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Well, since this is coming out today, you can find me on Twitch in about two hours playing probably Rocket League and also, oh, Jack,

wow, special for you. I found another one of the Dew flavors at the local car wash, so I'm trying the Baja Gold. I'll be trying the Baja Gold live on stream. I'm so stoked. I'll say, give me a one-word description of your opinion on Baja Gold.

Good. That was it. I like it. Three Ms. I'm stoked. No, it was not a mmm. It was a aww. Oh, okay.

It does not necessarily deserve. I'm not sure where the Baja is coming from on this. Okay. I've managed to not have the thing anymore where I take a sip of any form of Mountain Dew and I have to drink it until all the Mountain Dew in my house is gone. And so I still have a little left.

And I will say revisiting it with lowered expectations, it's solid. it's a good soda okay i just wasn't in love with it and i was like why would you do this to the baja blast sure sure yeah and it's such a baja blast is such a revelation such a such a staple of fast food culture that it's like trying to make a sequel to that it's a it's a herculean task herculean effort they are making baja blast more widely available like that is that's good that's the headline that's like that's the headline you don't need to like be like and guess what else like just give us the baja blast we've been asking for damn it thank you give me the cans and frankly you know this is all to hold

me over until hard bajaaja Blast is available here in California, in which case I will once again enter the world of drinking alcohol. I've heard also not great things about that. Yeah, but you know, Lord knows I got to find out myself. Lord does know that. I will say the spicy one is the spicy Mountain Dew is pretty good. I wasn't feeling it. You really?

I wasn't feeling it. It didn't give me enough of a different flavor. Yeah, there's a little bit of tingle on the back end, but it just didn't taste differently enough to regular Dew that I was like, you know what? This one versus the other one. It didn't do enough for me. That's what makes the world go round.

It has to make the world go round. And you will never be on this show again. Fair enough. But check me out at twitch.tv slash dj underscore danil since this is the last time I'll ever be able to plug it. Twitch.tv slash dj underscore danil. I'll be live at 4pm. See you then. PST. That bitch on Twitch. DJ Danil.

Alright. You can find me on Twitter at jack underscore o'brien. We are back on Monday with the whole ass episode of the show. And then Monday trending episode where I think a certain

someone who you might have been missing might make a triumphant return with Tales of a Voyage Abroad. That's right. Me. Yeah, damn.

To the gas station for Mountain Dew. Yes. Yeah, damn. To the gas station for Mountain Dew. Yes. I still haven't gotten the Purple Thunder and I think that might be a promise I make to myself and listeners.

I will try and score some Purple Thunder over the weekend. Nice, nice. And tell you all about that because I've heard nothing but glowing things about that.

If it's anything like Mountain Dew Blackout, I gotta try it. All right. Well, until then try it. Alright, well, until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, get the booster, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will
