That's why I was asking if you had something to wrap it up, because guess what? The NBA players have now been allowed to smoke weed. And we'll get to that later, because you know how we do.

We lead with something and then go take it in a completely different direction. Anyway, I'm Miles and I'm joined by Becca Ramos. Hello. How are you? I'm Miles, and I'm joined by Becca Ramos. Hello. How are you? I'm good. Happy Monday. Yeah, yeah, I guess. You feel good about what happened?

I feel good. If there was a three-day work week, where do you put the three days you work? Are you a Monday, Tuesday person? Like, you want that to be part of the weekend? You want Thursday, Friday? I think I would work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday? Okay.

That makes sense. Because the vibes on Friday are, like, already rancid, right? You're like, don't want to work. Like, that's already been kind of set in the culture. And then Monday is, like, a really productive day to get stuff done. Okay. Like, in your life, you know, and to not have to work on that day and to be able to like go to a doctor's appointment or something. It seems like that's when shit is open.

So like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday is a good working schedule. I think that, yeah, psychologically, you might get more things done. Part of me was thinking, imagine if you work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, because on Wednesday, you're like,'s thursday tomorrow and then this thursday you're like it's the weekend baby like the whole time i just basically wouldn't work because i'm like man it's the weekend already productivity low vibes high so that's how you know you're in a young office when those are the priorities um let's get to what are the top trending stories uh first up dairy queen so there's a dairy queen that apparently get a lot of attention because they have like a 15 foot tall red spoon outside the building like the kind you get with a blizzard but somebody just came through and fucking snatched that and the owners were a little bit confused because they're like what the fuck did somebody

do with a just a goof gag spoon that's 15 feet tall but apparently the way they describe it they said the suspects were precise as if they had done it before and guess what these people are brazen as shit because they weren't wearing masks and they were all caught on camera but have still not been identified and i just like how it's truly they're like what the fuck are we doing who would do this when you started this story i was like this is definitely college children but now i mean the images those look like full-blown adults which is crazy because this is definitely college kid level theft like i know kids when i went to baylor they would steal oh yeah yeah yeah very expensive um how do i describe this like banners i guess they would like baylor would pay because private

school money and you know like your tuition's going to paying for this for these banners like 40 foot banners or whatever that they would hang up um on the fencing near the stadium for the football and basketball games like basically like promoting you know the football season basketball season and all the frat boys would love to go go take their little clippers and snip the banners off and then hang them in their frat houses. And it became a phenomenon where kids were stealing these signs all over campus, like the road signs and also the banners. And my ex actually almost got arrested for attempting to steal one of these

and almost got expelled. So to me, I'm like, this is college connectivity. college connectivity but these are grown people but here's the thing sometimes you get a wild hair up your behind and you realize what if we go back to those days when we just stole things willy-nilly because yeah i mean i remember i would come up on the weirdest shit uh you know that's how old i am we call it coming up you know i came up on this and whenever i think i've said this before like when i would go to i had a streak too where i would try and take all of the tabletop things at a restaurant like if you go to denny's i'm like i'm gonna take the menu i'm gonna take the napkin thing i'm gonna take the sugars and then just walk out in texas the whataburger numbers i'm like what i got that's like the

thing the whataburger numbers are what you steal. Right. And so, again, for people who are like, why would you take that? You're like, for no reason aside from the fact that I'm I'm in my, you know, Tupac mentality because I'm like, I'm taking from them because for years they've been taken from me, even though I have no gripe against Denny's. So DQ people show yourself. Just bring back the spoon. And now like giant spoon. Yeah, there's been people like, I don't know, a lot of, this has gotten so much press, which is why I'm just like really, I'm flummoxed by it all. But yeah, they even have like shirts that are like, where's my spoon that they're selling? So where is the spoon, y'all?

City white treasure. Bring back the spoon. Bring back the spoon. Next up is Angel Reese. Shout out to Angelese over there from the lsu basketball team they won the women's ncaa championship against iowa and the reason this is getting a lot of a lot of coverage today is there's caitlin clark who was iowa star player you know and she she was you know she had a little bit of swagger about her, especially going into this tournament. She was hitting people with the John Cena, or so you thought,

John Cena, you can't see me, putting the fucking palm in front of the face. But for people who really know hip-hop, Tony Yayo did that in the So Seductive video. So we will give proper attribution on this podcast. But anyway, Kaitlyn, she's been on her swaggy competitor vibe.

But guess what? LSU, they actually came to win in the championship game. And Angel Reese, feeling herself, decided to hit her with the you can't see me.

And then also when, you know, everything was said and done, started pointing that ring finger, being like, oh, who's going to get it? Who's going to have that

championship ring on? Not you. Yeah, who's about to cut these nets off me? Oh, who are you? I don't even remember you. And now, predictably, because Angel Reese is a black woman and Kaitlyn Clark is a white woman, they are basically, a lot of people have

given her a lot of weird-ass racist smoke, being like, oh, that's really unsportsmanlike. It's real bullshit. it's like have y'all watched a single she's just doing the same shit period y'all yeah and i'm like whatever go on like everyone else came out in support of like angel reese like even like lebron james and was like yeah dude fucking dude do that shit although the lsu coach should be known she's quite homophobic uh but also been wearing some really interesting

attire on the sidelines and many people like you i'm sorry what this how do you square all this because she does look like a rejected muppets character uh when she has you know what i think i did see her on tiktok there was this girl doing this uh series that was like is it a lesbian or a professional basketball coach and it's like all these different women's basketball coaches wearing these insane outfits. Yeah, they get swaggy on the sidelines, for sure. But hers are just like super over the top. Anyway, all that to say, shout out to that team.

Can't be easy playing for somebody like that. But hey, you did what you had to, and you made somebody feel bad in the process like at one point it was funny i think they were like lined up for a free throw or something and she just kind of like angel reese looked at her it's like oh you can oh you literally can't even see me right now okay i see you it was not like that people did not like that now let's move on to another person shakira shakira anyway uh shakira is out here literally out here in the u.s streets yeah on the streets of miami okay south beach her and her two sons have had to leave their home in barcelona in catalonia beautiful place beautiful um shout out catalan independence um turns out this wasn't because she was like

oh you know what i like the south beach vibes it's because the local spanish paper is saying that her ex-husband gerard pk the footballer uh his father joan pk fucking evicted them from his house he sent an email to shakira last month giving her until the end of april to vacate the home the family once shared or pay a substantial fee basically saying he was gonna he was gonna evict he was gonna evict his grand sons he said fuck that woman i don't care about my own kids i'll make a point because you know what when my son cheats on his wife when my son cheats on his wife when my son cheats on you i'm gonna show you how bad it gets it's not just bad enough that he's unfaithful and a liar i will then evict you and your kids and act like they're not my blood what a a fucking mess. Yeah. What a time.

So, yeah, I don't know. We'll see. What the fuck? Such a terrible look. But I guess it is what it is. I hope they find housing and I hope they're safe in Miami. Yeah. You know, luckily, I believe Shakira probably, you know, she has enough in her coffers to navigate this one.

Yeah, I'm sure she's going to be fine. But yeah, it's a bullshit thing to do. Like, your son cheated on her. Yeah, it's like literally your son couldn't be more at fault. And yet, Latin men will persevere. You know how it is, man. I got to have his back. I don't even care if I'm wrong as fuck. I got his back. They got his back but you embarrassed him

if you didn't put it on blast like that we would have taken care of you but you embarrassed him yeah and i know and i know he didn't deny it but you know it is what it is but it also shows like that i wonder is he like their eldest son or something too because it smacks of like my baby wouldn't do that right she's lying she's lying on you where's the proof i know you're on your roof but like not enough you didn't see it like blood evidence yeah exactly oh oh so you were there yeah that one oh so you were there no okay you know what i don't have i'm not gonna do this your honor uh all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk some more trends right after this.

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. 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. And so is Moana.

She's back. Shout out Victor, you know, one of our other producers. Put a video in the chat, and I was like, what's this? And I click on it, and it's The Rock. He's in Oahu with his two little kids. He is announcing that there is a live action version of Moana in the works. Which, we were talking off mic.

I feel like this is pretty soon. Like, the movie, I feel like maybe it came out longer ago than I thought. But I was like, wasn't it like 2016? Like, this movie's not that old. They're gonna be exposed for how bad the development is where they're like, okay, fuck it, man. Iger's back. Alright, we're a go with the Moana live action. They're going to be exposed for how bad the development is. Or they're like, okay, fuck it, man.

I grew his back. All right. We're a go with the Moana live action. They're like, we could maybe wait a few years and like that we could project, we put that revenue in another year. That might be good for us. They're like,

no, we need that shit now in two years. What we'll do is the animated version based on the live action version of Moana. And then we'll come back around and retread on that. And it's just a cycle. And then they open the TV show and then it's like a live action tv show and then an animated tv show yeah see look you could have a job at disney right now in development i'm on the development team

yeah exactly we're all in that we have the lowest hanging fruit ideas for things yeah i don't know i i guess it's cool you know i i saw Moana recently for the first time. I guess. I don't know. You only recently saw Moana? Yeah. I don't. I'm telling you.

I, after fucking Lion King, I was out. Like the original Lion King. Oh, yeah. With John Taylor Thomas. You know what I mean? Doing all that shit. Like that version. I think, too, like my age and then being LA I was like in LA and like my mom being a film critic I became so jaded about the shit I watched where like I was trying to keep up I was like batting way out of my league

like movie wise to be like I don't have time for that okay like I'm about to watch this new David Lynch film um and not and hold on and not understand anything about it and been like i was better off i'm like i was better off watching fucking lion king again moana was really good i really did enjoy moana there are parts of it that are like questionable but overall out of like the latest animated movies from disney it was one of the better ones like then you know coco came out coco was like really incredible i've come back around now too i love i saw coco yeah i fuck with coco and uh and then encanto didn't see encanto but i saw seeing red okay or what is it seeing red right

is it seeing red or is it just red or red i don't know whatever no red it was really good that one was really good too i really enjoyed it turning red too. I really enjoyed it. Turning Red. Victor's on it. Turning Red. Thank you, Victor. Just like Victor on Bodega Boys, the fat god just came through. Yeah, the other thing is I used my brother-in-law's Disney Plus account, and then I didn't write this shit down. And recently, my shit reset, and I had logged out, and then I've been behind on things on Disney Plus.

You're behind. You're behind. And I know he's listening And he's probably gonna text me He's like bro here it is But anyway Moana Let us know Zygang too soon

Or just the right amount of time And is there even a right time Like in your mind Years have to pass Actually if they start Doing these brown stories Live action I don't know if I want it

Because you know what I'm worried they're gonna fuck it up I'm worried they're gonna fuck it up Because I feel like Coco And encanto well specifically coco as much as it had a lot of latino influences there was still a lot of white people signing off on that one so i'm like i'm terrified of what it's gonna turn into if they're like we're gonna make it's gonna be like in the heights again you know and the heights was so bad they were like but we

got an asian director and i'm like okay just because a lot of people of color were in the room doesn't mean it was good what's wrong so many different ways will they have ali e cravalho be in the live action version because she was the vocalist right yeah she was the one and she i saw her at an event recently she came with the red blood handprint on her mouth because she's like i'm pulling up for indigenous women that yeah they're experiencing femicide right now i was like they're gonna be like she's too old now you know right it's like you know wow we'll see but anyway we'll find out soon and then is the rock just gonna be in it again you know what i mean oh yeah they said he's gonna be in it he's gonna reprise his role of course i mean it makes sense who else you gonna find this all that one it makes sense for sure and i hope they bring moana back the actress i play moana

but i'm worried they're gonna be like she's too old and it's like gonna be questionable all the decisions they make in the casting right next trend new york times elon apparently took away their blue check mark on Twitter out of spite. Oh my God. Let me yawn for fucking seven hours because I don't care about either of these people. And you're probably asking, why did you bring it up on Trends? Because I wanted to let you know

what I'm yawning at. This shit. If you were worried about Twitter being a reputable source, you know, I think we can for sure see that it's not. Not that we didn't already know that, but like they're taking away check marks, they're having to pay for check marks, like

it's just Elon Musk run amok. It is what it is. He's doing his own thing out here and he can get mad at them and change the verified badge. It's just so weird, like being gone for six weeks off there, like i'll put it this way sometimes you have like someone you date and then you break up and you get back together break up

get back together but then you do that one breakup that's long enough yeah that like when you get the like when they try to do the x smash thing and you get that text you kind of have enough space to go no actually you know what this time it was Look, if you hit me up three weeks earlier, I might have right been back. But too much time has passed. And I'm like, no. But then I miss out on a lot of the Borg trends. You know what I mean? I love talking Borgs.

But then I have you, Becca, to just send me the TikToks of kids who are the cultural appropriation, even with the Borg naming. That's how I'm really I'm so online and sensitive that I'm like why is this white woman saying she got Borg tings it's so crazy like I think the Gen Z kids they're so online they're forgetting that AAVE

is also is not just TikTok slang the most violent shit was when that one Taylor Swift fan said, I'm finna be in the pit. Finna what? I'm finna be in the pit.

She just keeps getting worse if you follow her and that cycle and that story. Yeah, that girl. I can't remember her name to save my life, but I can see her eyes in my head with her horrible lash extensions. But she is a OnlyFans person. And she makes a bajillion dollars on OnlyFans.

But she went viral recently for fetishizing lesbians and women. And then she was like, but it's okay because my boyfriend thinks it's so hot. And then people were like, no, that's part of the problem. It's not okay that your boyfriend thinks it's hot that you want to make people were like, no, that's like part of the problem. Like you're, it's not okay that your boyfriend thinks it's hot, that you want to make out with women because he doesn't see women as people and as lesbian relationships as valid. I'm going to co-opt the male gaze to justify this. Like what?

It was so crazy. It's like, it's just like everything she says. And then like, she even talked about how she needed to move apartments in LA because like people were following her home because she kept identifying everything about her LA apartment. And then she moved into a new place and was like, yeah, and on the corner, there's the air wand. Right.

And then people were trying to be like, hey, girl, it's not that we care about you really. But if you already had to move once, maybe stop saying every detail of where you're like literally showing your apartment's window view and the corners that you live off of and maybe you won't have to move again and then she was like y'all are so sensitive on the internet it's like it's like at this point is it a bit like is it like what is it yeah who knows uh but all i know is i ain't finna talk about her anymore um anyway all that to escape talking about Elon Musk you see what we did we had to go completely to old shit and get our

outrage meter up and finally the NBA like I said trend BA 420 friendly could it be because Miles and Jack got mad boosties official NBA show and they know about I'm like I'm always here being like so what's weed gonna do make you better I don't think so anything I don't think so

anything i don't know if that's performance enhancing unless you're doing like a hot dog eating contest in coney island or some shit um but anyway there's like new agreement uh with the league and the players union coming out and amongst other things i just wanted to point out that the players will no longer be penalized for using marijuana under this agreement. So the marijuana has been removed from the drug testing program. On top of that, they'll be able to promote and invest in betting and or cannabis companies.

I think that's really important, especially with legalized cannabis. We need more owners that are of color considering the disproportionate amount of people of color who are in prison to this day for marijuana offenses even small ass ones so being able to have people with the kind of capital like in the nba also being able to invest in that i think is fantastic because i think somebody was

saying i think they're there when i was in seattle people were telling me to go hit up like sean kemp i think sean kemp had like a weed store and I was like, yes, exactly. And I will be loyal to them. I will shop their brands first. But anyway, please be worker friendly. Please, please. Yeah, at the minimum. And that's a whole other one to go through anyway, but we shall see there. And they'll also be able to sign non-gambling

endorsement deals with sports betting companies. Also, players can invest in NBA and WNBA teams via a players association selected like a private equity firm, which already we'll see how that goes. But the ability for them to have some kind of ownership, you love to see it. I will probably look more at that agreement to see what else is going on in there. But it's nice to see. And that's that's about it for now. Hey, Becca, thanks so much for joining me. You can catch us, well, me,

Becca's not on the episode tomorrow. You can catch me tomorrow on the episode with my fantastic co-host, Joelle Monique. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we'll see if Trump does take his wonderful walk to the courthouse. Will he get a mugshot? Will he not?

Will we see pictures of his tiny fingerprints? We don't know. Will he even have to go to court and maybe the judge is like oh you know what if you don't feel like it you don't have to we will see uh but more to come and we will talk to you later bye k hasn't heard from her sister in seven years. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. What was that?
