Hello the internet and welcome to this episode of the answer. My friends is trending in the wind. That one courtesy of vanadium silver on the discord and years of singing lessons from me.

My name is Jack. That is miles. Grail. Hello everybody. Gonna sing a song for you. He worked for five years. He trained himself for five years. Oh, you're talking about the goat?

To sing like shit. The goat, Chalamet? All right, so my goat is Michael Jordan still, then Chalamet, then LeBron. My goat, the unborn child, also known as a zygote. Mm-hmm, then that's my coat I I hear you man it is Tuesday March 4

Fucking activists who got posters of zygotes on their wall. That's right that one that one became Ronald Reagan Oh, that would actually be a good racket for selling bullshit So life people get random Like sonograms sonograms and then sell them be like that's fucking jordan right there You want to do a trump rookie card the most jordan rookie card possible? Oh y'all talk about that flare 85 rookie. Nah, nah, nah, nah. This is the most expensive Yeah, gross look at his hands can already tell could tell dude

All right This is the episode where we tell you what's trending and I'll tell you what's trending the dang stock market downward Oh, I am for the first time starting to have some doubts about this Trump guy. What are you, the Wall Street Journal? I am all of mainstream media. Dude, the Wall Street Journal last week, they're like, don't fucking do the tariffs, dickhead. Are you serious? It's going to fuck everything up.

And then today they're like, is this guy fucking, like every op-ed, it's like this shit's dumb. Like what are you doing, man? We're the money paper and you're fucking up the money. So yeah, the tariffs are here. Hit, we're basically, again, I'm saying we are hitting- The tariffs are coming, the tariffs are coming. They're here I guess. The United States, we are hitting ourselves with 25% tariffs on certain goods from Mexico and Canada and as well as 20% on goods from China. In your face, China. Ourselves. In our face, China.

We are the ones. This doesn't, you know, this is what's really frustrating. You see a lot of the politicians go on, they're like, well, obviously we got to, we got to, we got to tighten this trade deficit up a little bit. And then I just wish one journalist would go, okay, can you explain how that tightening of the, how that's going to reflect on cheaper prices for the consumer just so they can understand? How this this is actually a benefit no one fucking? So again, this is sent like you said jack markets crashing prices on certain materials soaring like on Maria Bartiromo

Show on Fox she had a person at a Dodge dealership And he was like this Dodge Ram eighty thousand dollars normally it just went up $200,000 today instantly because of the damn son and I'm like where'd you find those yeah I'm son so yeah this has sent basically our neighbors to the north and south just having them wondering are these stupid asses for real like all the things we hear like from Trudeau he's like y'all He's this is let me speak to the American people real quick. I don't do this normally but um Let me address my constituents really quick the American people

No, that would have been so funny if he said that shit and then he's like, yeah, you guys are doing Unfortunately, he's doing this to you, you know, like we're trying to be chill But you know if you fucking push us around, we might be, he's like, look, Canadians may be polite and well-mannered, but we do fight. We had some of the best snipers, World War II, you know? Straight up, Canada.

Hey, we won't forget Juno and Sword Beach on D-Day, man. But anyway, this is also like kind of one of those things where there are Republicans from agricultural states that are privately, like you see a lot of anonymous quotes from these Congress people from these agricultural states who are definitely worried because this will do damage. The last time there were these trade wars happening to farmers specifically because they have to export their crops for money. A lot of these retaliatory tariffs are like zeroing in on these specific goods just to make it as uncomfortable as possible. Speaker Mike Johnson though, is

basically showing he's towing the line. And this is apparently what everyone is supposed to think on the right of these tariffs. Quote, the America first agenda is to reset those relationships with other countries. Huh? Basically saying that his intent wasn't to start a trade war or an adversarial thing quote This is to continue good relationships and trade policies I think this initiative will achieve that desired result as the president said just have a little patience with this Let it play out see how it develops and I think at the end of the day America is going to be better off False false doesn't seem to be where things are headed. No.

So we talked before about how Trump and the tariffs, it is a blunt instrument that can get a very specific return. You can get a very specific objective with a tariff. Sure. Conceptually, yes. So that they can, like I think in his first administration He's like let's do this tariff that tariff this tariff that tariff and like the people his economic advisors were like We'll let you do the one and like it had an effect that wasn't catastrophic

But now that there are no Brit now, it's just all gas no breaks He is putting all the tariffs out and it like it doesn't make sense to really anyone. Like I haven't seen anybody really make a case for it. I think the I don't know if we're going full cynicism here. He's trying to tank the American economy fully. That's the goal. And because of the gold, it could be the gold, the gold, what is the gold or what is the crypto?

You know what I mean? Whatever it is, I think it's also a tool to weaken your adversaries who rely on the economy or the stock market to derive their wealth from. And you can kind of be like, watch me fuck it all up. I don't know. But like to try and game out the 4D chess here, I don't know. The most simple thing is like, it seems like he's just trying to tank the fucking economy. And this is one way to do it. And again, he needs pretext for everything. So this time the flimsy ass pretext is we've got to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigrants.

That's why we're doing this to, to, to try and reverse all this. And also the trade, he's like saying it's a myriad of things, but to go and then upend relationships with our immediate neighbors to the north and south just makes zero financial sense. And you know, you have Republicans who are privately are like this, I don't understand. I think this is going to fuck us all up. And then other people who don't know what the fuck the like economics are and they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we got to show them. And by them, I mean us,

our own consumers. So we'll see how this plays out because Trump is addressing a joint session of Congress. Some Democrats will be there, some won't. I don't know why, what the fucking point is, because you're just gonna, they're gonna make a fucking meal of you if you don't stand up and clap when they're like, and here are families of Lakin Riley, people that were killed by immigrants. So, so terrible. And if they're like, they're being like, this is some fucking puppetry show circus shit, then they'll be like, why don't they care about so some place some people are completely avoiding um attending but

it's going to be again all the people that trump is bringing out for this address are again the families of like laken riley the family of the guy who was killed at the trump rally where the assassination attempt happened uh and mark fol, the guy that he just freed from Russia. And then the Democrats are like going to be bringing like people who have just been laid off, which I think is just as cynical. I'm like, what's the point to re traumatize them to be like, and now they're going to have to look at these people. Yeah. Don't care. Y'all are fucking doing this same. You're using these people as props to like do some real shit or don't fucking go and

Legitimize this nonsense. But anyway, we'll see tonight folks We will see tonight how that goes Alyssa Slotkin will be giving the rebuttal for Democrats. So we will see Exciting. All right. Let's take it back to Main Street. We have a we have a report from young producer Victor, YPV, about what the latest dating trend called floodlighting miles and it may be coming for a romantic partner near you. Or to my Millennials still out there, you know, on the lookout for love, know the floodlighting when you see this. So I did not know what this was. This sounds like being bad at still out there, you know, on the, on the lookout for love, know the flood lighting when you see this.

I did not know what I did not know. What's the thing? This sounds like being bad at dates, but we're in an era where we must give like a very succinct sort of description or catch all phrase to these kinds of things. So in this instance, it's called flood lighting. And you're using vulnerability as a high intensity spotlight. I don't really understand the spotlight part of that, but it involves sharing a lot of personal details all at once. So it's like instead of love bombing, you are vulnerability bombing the person.

This is allegedly to test the waters, speed up intimacy, or see if the other person can handle these parts of you. Yeah. This just seems like a bad strategy, but like maybe it works with a certain type of personality. So it says, for example, say you meet someone from a dating app and grab drinks a few days after connecting. On the day you begin to talk about your childhood, sharing details about your parents' divorce and other traumas, you then drain on about how this impacts you today, e.g. makes you doubt love and loyalty causes insecurities and dating, etc. All the while, you're closely reading the other person's reactions,

determine whether they can handle you testing their boundaries and how much they're willing to accept. This sounds predatory and weird, like sure to be like, I'm bound to manipulation, manipulation tactics. I just don't think, I get, I think that your people are sort of like, people just won't accept me for me. So maybe if I lead very intensely with all of that

and put all my cards on the table at once, then I can see, but this sort of like watching their every reaction to see how they respond, that is not how you're gonna get to know somebody or anything like that. That's like being like you're cooking food or some shit. And they're like, before I give you the whole meal, I'm going to have you taste every individual ingredient on its own

before I've cooked it or combined it. Yeah, it's like this Google like job interview thing where they like give you a terrifying, difficult question and see if you freak out or not. Let's see what this motherfucker is made of, which is weird and predatory as like a hiring practice and predatory as like a hiring practice, let alone as like a, you know, dating practice. Hey, if you can't handle me at my worst, you're never going to be able to handle me at my best because I'm really like pretty awful

at my best. Also, like the process of like falling in love with somebody is you like them and then you like them enough that as you learn more about them you can put all the pieces together and be like oh okay I still like accept and love this person for who they are rather than if I showed up to my days and said yo bro I might have an issue with cannabis you know my parental issues I'm a perfectionist who always criticize everything you or I do and then just do then just do other things. You're like, look up. I'm wearing a diaper on my back right now because of how much I sweat. Oh, can we, wait, hold on. You have a diaper on your back because of how much you sweat? Sorry, I was told that this was flood lighting.

I'm trying to just like be really vulnerable with you. I sweat a lot. Now it's actually, the diaper is no longer sufficient because you stopped me there and now it's turning out too weird. Do you have an extra diaper? Yes or no? How many diapers do you have on you right now? Bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish. How many diapers do you have on you right now? Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. in under 15 minutes, we take the news and boil it down to three essential stories. You can keep up without feeling stressed out. Listen up first from NPR on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here? How goes lower? From Blumhouse TV, iHeart Podcasts, and Ember 20 comes an all new fictional comedy podcast series. Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels the mystery of his vanished boyfriend. And Santi was gone.

I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi. And what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously. Hmm, pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out-of-his-element hero as he engages in a series

of ill-conceived investigative hookups. Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup. Now, take a big whiff, my brah. ["I Heart Radio"]

Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds. But what if there's something else, something much more ominous, that appears under the cover of night, silent, unseen, watching? They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road, or look

like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they? We used the word drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there, one minute it wasn't. Oh that is beyond creepy. Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically? Yes, absolutely. Listen to Obscurum, Invasion of the Drones,

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How serious is youth vaping? Irreversible lung damage serious, one in ten kids vape serious, which warrants a serious conversation from a serious parental figure like yourself. Not the seriously know-it-all sports dad, or the seriously smart podcaster.

It requires a serious conversation that is best had by you. No, seriously, the best person to talk to your child about vaping is you. To start the conversation, visit TalkAboutVaping.org, brought to you by the American Lung Association and the Ad Council. And we're back. We're back. And RFK, what's that guy up to? Sending some mixed signals about, uh, straightforward medicine.

Despite floodlighting us over the many years, letting us know what his foibles were. He is a big flood lighter. He's just like, ah, not perfect. Here is a large list of pedophiles that I've been associated with. Hung out with, yeah. I air humped a dog corpse, you know a few times

Sorry original the og flood lighter and yeah does seem to work bafflingly well for him so he There's a measles outbreak in Texas Terrifying the child just died of measles for the first time since he said MBD about that Oh, you know, people die, children die. So he wrote this op-ed on Fox's website. And in one part of it, he said things like vaccines not only protect individual children from measles, but also contribute to community immunity, protecting those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons, which is kind of a big indoor, like that's the most

in Dorsey he's ever gotten around a vaccine. And he does still acknowledge like, you know, some people can't be vaccinated and they seem to be fine. Right. Um, but he does say the decision to vaccinate is a personal one. Okay. There it is. Yeah.

Uh, he also elsewhere talks about how vitamins are a good way to treat measles. But which one, please? So I can buy it. Which one can I get instead of a vaccine? Studies have found that vitamin A can dramatically reduce measles mortality. Okay. Does he also tell the part about how it can cause like liver damage? No.

Oh, okay. So, so, but, but, okay. So based on what I'm seeing, the dike that you've positioned these two things to say vitamin A is basically like a vaccine though too. Right. Yeah. Vitamin A is fine. Like, so, okay. Measles is good not to have measles. Measles bad. If you want to personally make the personal decision to get vaccinated for some fucking reason because you're weird and sick and want Bill Gates fucking chips inside of you, you sick freak. If you want to do that, great. If you're not that tight, if you don't make that personal choice for your personal self,

maybe your family and your free thinker. You know, you're just kind of, you do your own research because you're Harriet Tubman with the research. You're not a sheep. Maybe you're a wolf, you know, like people like me. Then in that case, it has been shown the vitamin A instead of vaccines or, you know, if you do get measles, don't trip. It's like the space program if if an asteroid's coming, we got you over here at big vitamin

A. Unfortunately, according to doctors, specifically Dr. Sue Cressley, the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, In fact, relying on vitamin A instead of the vaccine is not only dangerous and ineffective, but it puts children at serious risk. But that's not what Healthman just said. He's been on this vitamin A shit since 2019 when he spoke at an event hosted by Texans for vaccine choice and was speaking about a measles outbreak at that time. And said that while doctors claimed that the outbreak was caused by parents refusing to vaccinate their children, he said that measles cases fell before the vaccine was introduced.

That's what they won't tell you. Why? Because the thing that cured measles was nutrition and clean water, not the vaccine. All right. All right. All right. Cool. Cool. Yeah. I mean, this, this op-ed has been like the perfect piece of misinformation because depending on what side of the political spectrum you're on, you're going to read into it. Like some headlines were saying from this op-ed, they just glommed onto the part where he said the MMR vaccine is actually safe or whatever, which goes against everything he's been saying for the last fucking forever about the MMR vaccine. And then you have the part, he's like, but it's

a personal choice. So I see headlines that were like, yo, he's all in on vaccines. They're effective. Like you saw headlines. And then if you read, he's like, but they're a personal choice. And other ones were being like, yeah, he says vitamin A just as good. So yeah, it was interesting to see how this one op-ed was somehow covered as him seeing the light. Yeah.

And others were just like, no, bro, he's just, yeah, if you say both things and like, so you get the heat off your back, but you also are signaling to the people who, you know, actually follow and listen to you. Like you're, you know, we've been right all along. Don't worry. I'm saying the vitamin A shit. So, uh, also in, in this new world, a Texas official just had to call a press conference. This is the chief health officer for the Texas tech university health sciences

center and had to urge people not to throw measles parties. Apparently, uh, they noticed that some people plan to hold measles parties on social media. Uh, and it's like the chicken pock parties from the eighties. Yeah. Eighties and nineties. I'm just thinking that cause that's when I went to it. It wasn't even, it's funny. I didn't even go to a chicken pock party. I just got motherfucking chicken pocks at a birthday party. Yeah. Well you didn't, you might not know the actual details of that party. Yeah. Did you, did you look at the,

do you have the invitations for that party in front of you? Yeah, just say come make sure your kid gets chickenpox, but we'll have a party so they don't realize. Oh, fuck. Brian's just saying you got chickenpox at a Flying Lotus show at 26 years old. All right. So, yeah, don't do that. But I have a thing that we need to say now in a world where vitamins or where measles

is not a big concern for the head health guy in the nation and it can be treated with vitamin a is vitamin a the sun one or is that vitamin D that's the all right. There's a great New York Magazine article that I wanted to shout out real quick that is the most sycophantic things Republicans have done so far in this. Like this is not overall. This is just since he's been in the second time. For the last three weeks. Yeah. They've been here on February 14th. They introduced a bill to make Donald Trump's

birthday a federal holiday saying his impact on the nation is undeniable. Just as George Washington's birthday is codified as a federal holiday, this bill will add Trump's birthday to this list, recognizing him as the founder of Americans golden age, right before the economy fell off a fucking cliff. A bill to put Trump on Mount Rushmore. Um, that's, that's for real. I built a change the name of Greenland to red, white and blue land.

Um, a resolution to allow Trump to serve a third term. I mean, that shit's just going to happen. Uh, pair of bills to put Trump on the $100 bill. Uh, and then a US attorney that calls himself Trump's lawyer is another one. President Trump's lawyer is what he calls himself, Ed Martin. Oh, right, right. Who's you're like, you're fucking working

for the Department of Justice. That's cool. I'm Trump's. The other thing though too is recently they were talking about renaming Dulles Airport after Trump too. After Trump. That's another one. It's gonna be wild, uh, on rush of bullshit. This is just typical dear leader shit.

You know what I mean? This is no different than any other country where they're like, people have to fawn over the figurehead to curry favor and be like, yes, my Lord, please. I want to put you on a bill that doesn't need to fucking exist a $250 bill for who so you could buy a dozen eggs. Is that what it is a $250 yeah, there's a $250 bill they're talking about that's amazing one of them has the mugshot as the fucking face like all these bill mock-ups, it's absolutely bullshit bullshit night and Absolutely bullshit. Bullshit night.

And finally, we do have an update because we had mentioned that we were a little suspicious of the number that kept getting quoted during the number. Was that something Conan said or who was saying it? He was saying that a billion people watched it, but it wasn't like a joke that it's like not a billion people are watching it and people covered it as being serious in mainstream media. So that's that Harvard lampoon humor, dude. Right. You know, very sophisticated, very dry, that dry lampoon humor. Um, this is a thing that people have been saying for a long time.

The ratings came back. The Oscars drew 18 million viewers across ABC and Hulu, which is 7% down from last year. That's about what I would have guessed based on the movies that were nominated. Like last year was an all time or a high like since before the pandemic because the two movies that were most likely to win best picture were movies that a lot of to win best picture were movies that a lot of people saw in Oppenheimer and Barbie. And this year is like, you know, small already movies.

But yeah, so down down seven percent from last year, people are just like, what the fuck would happen? I guess people don't like Conan or something. It's just like, no, no movies are just not big. It was not a year where, like like there were a lot of high performing movies that made sense as best picture nominees. And we're just not that into celebrity worship as we used to be. That's really the thing. We just don't,

we're not as interested in celebrate celebrating these people and being like, Whoa, what are they wearing? Like for yourself, whoa, what are they wearing? It's like miles. I have that a selfie that Ellen Degeneres took tattooed on my back. That's what that is. Yeah, man. It's a little blurry. I don't know. I was gonna say it looks really infected, dude. It's so I started it as a watercolor of that and then, uh, you know, showed that to the person and then kept updating it as they were doing the tattoo and it just has not oh it's not gone great it's not

gone badly but yeah they are having to take chunks of my back out god is it too late to make it Nixon's face is that what you think it looks like maybe I could yeah you can be like Roger Stone but yeah I don't know like Deadline blamed Hulu. I just think, yeah, fewer and fewer people watch anything on TV anymore. Like fewer and fewer people are into celebrity worship these days. But our writer, JM, did look into where the billion people all over the world claim came from. And it's from a 1985 associated press story, which contained the billion viewer claim without any attribution.

And that story just still gets cited. Like, it's just a free Internet lies from the pre Internet lie that is like convenient for the purposes of attracting advertisers, you know, and there and therefore you just get it. So funny, dude. This, this is a, this is sales speak from someone in a sale in this, in a sales position at ABC. Yeah. Clearly being like, yeah, we get a billion viewers, man. So you do these product in front of a billion people. Are going to be wild to get you to get eyeballs on this thing. Oh, yeah people. Oh really? Yeah, dude fucking India fucking Europe

Your Disney fucking everywhere dude, they're fucking they fucking love it man. You 1 billion yeah, do you know the story of like Kennedy spoke in Berlin and said ik ben ein Berliner and Everybody yeah, because I'm donut it meant he's a jelly donut yeah that comes from a spy novel that like came out in 1981 i think like they just made that up and everybody was like that like that's the first place it appeared that was like years after it happened 80s dude like that was the best part of the 80s like we could all just Fucking group lie and have that be reality. Well now that the internet does that for us They just the internet is a like large fanfiction, you know

For reality you have like right on on one side and That is happening for everybody who wants to believe anything on any side, right? I love that for me though I mean even the Oscars were like trying to back down from the lie They were like, it's actually more like I don't know several hundred million viewers globally Which oh, yeah. Yeah, cuz you go go to go to anywhere. That isn't the United States Any non-english-speaking country right now and be like, did you guys catch the Oscars? They're like, what the fuck are you talking about?

You just I don't know if you know this, you just cursed at me. Just so you know. Yeah, I mean, many of the big international markets, like they have their own film industries. Also, in many of these places, the ceremony airs in the middle of the night and a lot of people just don't give a shit because yeah, they have their own film industry, their own movies, their own award shows.

Too busy trying to survive, you know, just the usual, the usual. Yeah. But anyways, Hey, I enjoyed it. I think Conan did a good job and shout out to Nora. You know what, Conan? I believe a billion people watched. I believe it. Billion people in my heart. What deadline? So there you go. All right.

Those are some of the things that are trending on this March 4th. We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Yes. Get the vaccine. Get your flu shots. Yes.
