Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Trend of Watch with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anna Trendrick. women's sports hello the internet and welcome to this episode of trend of watch with jake gyllenhaal and anna trendrick ah that is courtesy of miles gray shout out to that man the movie dude jake gyllenhaal with a shaved head is fucking scary that's violent he looks he looks like someone i don't want to be near that's for sure haunted testament to his that's you know that's a great that's a great thing about an actor you know just one

one change of hairstyle like become a whole new person i know that's how are you with wigs that's like the the first thing lauren asks people when they join snl shit laren hit me up bro i'll fuck a wig miles is fucking great with my people need me here i think they usually ask people that after they've been cast that would be the first time they've cast someone just because they're so good with wigs but i think it's worth it game is bonkers uh all right well i. You are Miles. The aforementioned Miles Gray. And these are some of the things that are trending. All right. So we got an update for y'all.

Reese's Pie, as predicted, sold out in moments. Not minutes. Moments. They only dropped 5,000 of them. No, not hours. Not minutes. Second. They only dropped 5,000 of them. No, not hours. Not minutes. Seconds. Fucking milliseconds.

Milliseconds. So these are three pound for anybody who wasn't listening earlier today. Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on you. Three pounds of Reese's Cup. Dude, three and a half pounds. Three and a half, my bad.

3.4 pounds, nine inch diameter. Yes. And they're pitching it as Thanksgiving pie, confidently. Like, this is the only, we're going to take this over. It would be like, you know, creating a thing and being like, this is Christmas present. This is the only Christmas present you ever need to get and being like this is christmas present this is the only christmas present you ever need to get anyone ever this is christmas present this is thanksgiving pie um but they're right i mean people people want this shit eagle-eyed viewers might have noticed

uh that when they dropped the picture of the box there was a little 160 in the corner where the calorie count should be. And I was like, huh? Wait, this can't be what they're saying it is if it is 160 calories per serving. Well, we did a little research and it turns out that that is the serving size is 148th of the pie. Oh, okay. I did a little further research. There are 66 ridges on a regular Reese's cup, like around the outer side of it. Around the outside. When you look at the picture that they shared of Thanksgiving pie, also 66 ridges.

I counted them. You did? Sorry, I counted 30, and I was like, like all right that looks like we're about halfway through um and so you get a ridge and less than a half uh per serving size according to this which like why not just be like yo this thing is like a calorie bomb this is 500 calories full what the fuck did you expect this is the thing though i've i'm i go constantly in between what the fuck were they thinking and why the fuck don't i have it yeah so it's very difficult um and as it's just like looking at the comments i was like going to the website to be like oh shit maybe it's on sale sold out i'm like there's already reviews and the reviews are 3.7 stars because most of

them are people who are like i didn't get one dude one said oh i wish i could have gotten one of these but supply and demand is at play here thanks oh thanks you very savvy consumer it's sad and selfish the rude comments on here as if you're entitled to make sure that uh that you supply units to everyone i guess that's meaning hershey's uh they should get over themselves and if they want a pie that bad hop on pinterest and learn how to make it the recipe is on there quadruple it duh the piece of pie that they are uh you know displaying in the image that set the internet ablaze is over seven ridges so that would be you know that would be over 500 calories i mean yeah by that you're saying it's about like one and a half about five pieces the fucking 800 calories

i mean go off young kings and queens and non-binary royalty uh get go give yourself the fucking gift of time traveling because you get hit with a sugar high so intense you don't even know what fucking day it is yeah that would be appropriate if this is how humanity uh stumbled upon time travel. Yeah, it's like, no, dude, just eat this big ass piece of chocolate and peanut butter. In case you're wondering and don't have the calculator app on your phone open, this is, by the way, the most legwork I've put into researching anything. Even more than Havana syndrome.

Yeah, yeah. So if you eat the whole thing that would be 7680 calories yo how much sugar by the pound though is that you would be vibrating you would be hovering off your chair for all of thanksgiving dinner oh my god i mean what the sugar because you might die like you might die actually that's three and a half pound if you ate three and a half pounds of reese's which i might have done at various times like you know just but that that that seems like it could be deadly just think about this for people who know anything about weed measurements right there's 15 grams of sugar in one of these servings that's like a that's more than a half

ounce yeah of like so 14 grams is a half ounce think about how much weed that is but imagine that were sugar and then you shove that into a little sliver of pie you're not even calling a pie of this thing you eat and that's where you're at i love yeah 720 grams of sugar in the whole thing let me see what that looks like. It's like, what, three quarters of a kilo? It was three quarters of a kilo. It's absurd. That's the thing that always got me to eat healthier

is when I started to visualize how much salt or how much sugar is actually in it. You see that sandbox out there? Just replace the sandwich with sugar. Like when I started to visualize like how much salt or how much sugar is actually in it. Just by like, you see that sandbox out there. Yeah. Just replace it. Replace the sandwich sugar. Yeah.

And that's what you're eating. Good luck. Well, that's what we're distracting ourselves with doing math about how much sugar and calories are in each piece of this Reese's pie. I want to see them like do try and just with a straight face, show me the one 48th cut of the pie that they're putting out. There is the,

uh, serving size. Just show me that. Yeah. And like, what, what do you need to do to cut something that's more like, you can't do that with a regular knife.

No, you need, or like you'd need like a diamond cutting, like hydro cut, like, you know, like water thing that the thing that almost cut James Bond's dick off and golden, golden eye, hydro cut, water thing. The thing that almost cut James Bond's dick off in Golden

Eye? Goldfinger? Goldmember? Goldmember. Nah, that's the Austin Powers one, right? Oh, yeah. Goldfinger. I love gold. Oh, yes. I have another skin piece. Put it in the box.

Which are the ones? I'm fucking sick, yes. I have another skin piece. Put it in the box with the other ones. I'm fucking sick, man. That's one of my favorite jokes was him collecting a piece of loose skin. I don't know what the fuck's wrong with me. That part's disgusting. I remember my high school girlfriend would drive watching it.

Like I just did. Kyle Rittenhouse, Jerry, is deliberating after a bunch of news like news sources new like mainstream news outlets being like he's like the prosecution's blowing this it seems like they've really made a case that he he was using self-defense i'm now suddenly back to but i mean these are humans who are deciding on like what we all saw so like they're you know this happens to me a lot when there's a trial that i know the truth but like still understand

that like the legal system is gonna fuck it up is that i'm like yeah but still it's like they're gonna they're gonna make the right decision um and i am i mean yeah and then what the fuck happens if he gets off i mean that's gonna create a whole it's gonna turn the temperature up way high in the country and also create a whole new group of fucking people who think oh man it's ridden house yeah i'm just a written house yeah I'm just a Rittenhouse yeah I'm just going there to uh protect people uh by shooting them with my AR um so yeah hopefully um hopefully there's some zeitgang on the jury uh if so you know dude you know what you have to do okay this was even more grim so there were 18 people who sat like in judgment during the trial,

but then they have to whittle that down to 12 who would actually decide his fate. The fucking judge had Kyle Rittenhouse go through the little number tumbler to draw the numbers for that group of jurors. That's normally done by a fucking clerk, a court clerk. But he's like, hey, hey, kid, you want to go and you want to reach in and pick? I can't even, I don't even know.

So that way, like the jury's anonymous, like this anonymous 12 person jury. And he just said, hey, you can draw the numbers from here, kid. It's your birthday. I don't even want to like think about this shit too much again because it's only oh god this is like a a natural uh rhythm especially for like people of color in this country watching a trial where it's so clear that someone has been murdered uh outside of the

law or sometimes by law enforcement themselves knowing clear as day what you're seeing or that this clearly isn't like a oh no they're immediately innocent just sort of stealing yourself for the you know reaction from the judicial system which says yeah sorry we're not there yet we're just not there yet okay so yeah So, yeah, yeah, this judge, I don't know how he remains a judge. Like, I don't know. It's really fucking infuriating and sickening.

All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In

Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.

In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea,

but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. TikTok got hit with a class action lawsuit that means users may be eligible to claim a piece of 92 million dollars uh there are 130 million users in the u.s so you know if everyone files you get 70 cents but i'm assuming not everyone will file i am a tiktok user i will not be filing you're one of the 130 million out there i'm one of the 130 million uh the way they said this in the in one of the news stories they said tiktok fans uh which i'm not a user but i am a fan uh just a fan of their

whole thing just i love hearing about it love hearing about tiktoks and stuff sounds really cool love your word yeah i mean the lawsuit uh it was pretty vague like if you open the app it's like hey man you might be entitled to something i don't know man here watch this video of this uh gigantic pizza being made but it's a lot of you know like everything they were stealing the data without people's consent uh and so now but there are levels to it so you can check out a website like if you live in illinois i think like there's because the case originated out of illinois you may be entitled to more but all that to say 92 million cut up that

many ways it's barely a slice of Reese's Thanksgiving pie Caruso is trending and it's not David Laker Twitter Alex our bald bald mamba our sweet little caruso we shipped you off to chicago i was one

of i many of us laker fans like why we we fuck with him he's we need him we like him uh but then we saw all these other shiny names like yeah baby i don't fucking need them who knows um but a lot of people are coming at rob palinka and just sort of you know because the lakers got beat handily by the chicago bulls last night um and all that to say the bulls are fun they look fucking good and they came to la and i think it was the first time they beat us like the staples center or maybe in general since 2018 um the indication of where the lakers are at and just how dynamic the bulls look but yeah i think a lot of people were just i think myself included just watching like our own boy just beating us uh but you know he wasn't like scoring i don't think he actually even scored a

point but just on defense he was just so he was like a fucking problem he was just dishing out to his teammates it was you know made you made you realize what we used to have with him would you go straight up caruso for westbrook um i would i i would but part of me as like you know because look i'm kind of one of these weird laker fans i kind of like watching the the like experiment go totally awry uh yeah because i just like no come on this is what you decided this is what you decided go Go on now. Make this work. Oh, you can't? Stop being so goddamn short-sighted with this shit. But part of me, too, is I would want to see Russell Westbrook because part of me is like, if it does happen,

it will happen because LeBron James is on the team. And he will bring something out of all those people to remind them like, hey, none of y'all motherfuckers got rings. Remember that shit. Right. Let's go. Um, but all that to say,

I watched with a bittersweet tears in my eyes to see Alex do what he did. All right. That's been NBA minute. Uh, Jeff Bezos is trending cause, uh, he said something terrifying, embedded in a conversation about the environment and the future, and he's pledging $3 billion to some various environmental things.

And he said, future generations will visit Earth the way you visit Yellowstone Park. said future generations will visit earth the way you visit yellowstone park so oh you know we when he went to space on the same day like uh unemployment was like hitting the shitter and uh like that it was kind of that might have been a little bit misleading because it made it seem like he was trying to escape but what he's ultimately going to do is he's going to send all our asses to space uh and then he'll get to just chill on earth without anybody here which makes more sense to me because it's like right why would he want to be in space like earth is the best the best thing going right now space sucks space is like money space just wants to fucking kill you well maybe he's maybe he's done

some you know psychedelics or something he's looking at the world a completely different way ah speaking of mike tyson so this is funny because so mike tyson did a drug that i know is very popular right now uh it's called the toad you smoke toad venom gives you a psychedelic experience sort of like dmt or whatever the joe rogan one is that he always talks about dmt yeah yeah yeah world so this is um and i've heard people talk about it and they all say the same thing like you know it felt like i died uh i now like have a better understanding of like how life and death interact with each other uh i went off like i could like see my own death and like now i'm no longer afraid of death and like it seems like it's a very overall like healthy thing spiritually and psychologically for the people i know who have tried it but you know obviously uh consult your doctor but uh so

conservatives uh however so mike tyson did it he said all that shit and the way that uh the new york post has headlined it as mike tyson died while tripping on psychedelic toad venom oh my god like conservatives should be lawfully forced to do this drug to get their heads out of their own like puckered assholes. But yeah, everyone, but yeah, seriously. Instead, they,

they interpret a statement, uh, about the, about a drug that like gives you a better understanding of death as this drug killed Mike Tyson. Like I'm, I'm picturing so strong. Mike Tyson died from it.

Picture metaphysically Mike Tyson getting like revived by the paramedics um yeah hey man that's that's what it'll do to you yeah i'm i think i man i would could you imagine like mitch mcconnell on the other side of a fucking toad trip yeah like where does he go like i honestly i think that's the that would be the wildest advertisement. You just get one of these people who you're like, they were so fucking evil. And they came up and be like, I've, hmm, it's hard to say. Don't think I had any skills for empathy.

Look, I don't know. I saw a lot. I fucking died when I ate the toad, guys. I didn't really like what it told me about myself. Right. I am resigning. Yeah. Just tears pouring am resigning. Yeah. Just tears pouring down his face. Yeah.

But I mean, like that's the whole thing is like going outside of your own ego and idea of self perception and identity. And like literally those things dying before your eyes on, you know, a metaphorical way or literal way, depending on what you're seeing. Some people want you to believe that you need drugs to be happy, i don't need drugs to be happy all i need is i just need to watch working people die

the blood of the poor yeah a nice wine goblet right oh no you turned into nixon there at the end but um anyways you're the impressions guy i don't uh but that is i'm the points guy all right those are the things that are trending we are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves get the booster don't do nothing about white supremacy we'll talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in people who do, like negotiation expert Mori Tahiripour.
