Starting point is 00:00:29 covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What happens when we come face to face with death? My truck was blown up by a 20-pound anti-tank mine. My parachute did not deploy. I was kidnapped by a drug cartel. When we step beyond the edge of what we know... I clinically died. The heart stopped beating.

And I had the opportunity to talk to Davy Brown. With women, any kind of thing where there might be this underlying edge of self-sacrifice
Starting point is 00:01:18 as martyrdom, if you're never filling, you're telling yourself a story and you're actually avoiding what you should be doing. You got to get in. You got to get your hands dirty. Listen to A Really Good Cry on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar. I host a podcast called A Slight Change of Plans that combines behavioral science and
Starting point is 00:01:41 storytelling to help us navigate the big changes in our lives. I get so choked up because I feel like your show and the conversations are what the world needs, encouraging, empowering, counter-programming that acts like a lighthouse when the world feels dark. Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello the internet and welcome to this episode of Trend-Nert. I've made a palindrome out of the word trend, Miles. Oh, did you just do that? I just did that. My name is Jack O'Brien.
Starting point is 00:02:25 That over there is Mr. Miles Gray. Hey, hey, hey. How'd you do that? How'd you do that? You just turned trend into a palindrome? My guy? I call him palindrome, my guy. Because we are, according to Bojan Tongus on Twitter, we are in the era, the week of the palindrome.
Starting point is 00:02:47 What does that mean? Every day for the next 10 days is going to be the same backwards and forwards. Now, when I said that to you guys before, you thought I was like on acid. I thought you were saying like, like energetically,ically you're like the next 10 days will be the same Forwards as it is backwards. I'm like, okay at noon words will start flowing backwards around you No, just the date 5 20 25 backwards 5 2 0 2 5. Okay Try that with a 21st though. 5 2 1, two, five backwards, five to one, two, five miles.
Starting point is 00:03:28 It works for the next nine days. The length of a week. Is that how many days? Shout out the, shout out the math teachers that are having a fucking ball with us. Oh yeah. This is, this is going to blow my nine year olds mind. Yeah. When I show them that. Does you know, I bet his fucking teacher got to him already.
Starting point is 00:03:51 She's always spoiling my shit. What about this? Do you know this this pound room, buddy? A man, a planet canal, Panama. But when we had some downtime, that's that's a good thing about like vacation is you get like some real boring downtime. That's when I was like weird Al maybe. Have you guys thought about weird Al? And we went through all the palindromes that I know also, oh, uh, I'm in a
Starting point is 00:04:17 plan, a canal Panama, go hang a salami on a lasagna hug. Uh, and then these dates, um, are making me thirsty. These dates are making me thirsty these dates are making me thirsty miles the big news in travel yeah i'm about to go oh first of all i didn't mention it late so i was out yesterday in new york on assignment hanging out with super producer ana hni. I had a blast. She sends her regards to the Zeit Gang. But I flew in to Newark, fucking rolled the dice, baby. And? You're dead? And I made it, but I was like really-
Starting point is 00:04:55 I thought you were dead. I thought, man, I did not think you were gonna make it. I really was like looking around me as we were landing, like trying to make eye contact with the people around me to be, to be like, whoo. Right. A little nerve wracking, huh guys? Um, yeah, nobody was feeling it. Nobody wanted to talk about the fact that, uh, there was one person working in the air traffic control tower.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Yeah. Then I think yesterday the fucking at LaGuardia, a flight, a United flight had to slam the brakes and aboard a takeoff because of the fucking air traffic led another plane on the runway. Skrr skrr. Yeah, they literally were like, literally skrr skrr. Yeah, people were like on the plane. They were like, I didn't even know planes had brakes like this. I didn't either. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:42 They got those little like teeny things like planes feel very top heavy to me. The brussel brussel brands that the plane wheels are actually wheelbarrow wheels. They don't even need to be inflated. Yeah, there's just rubber. But anyways, other other news besides the fact that I survived a trip into Newark is that Southwest no longer. You're no longer allowed to have the power bank in your overhead compartment. Yeah, apparently. If you've been on a flight a lot of times,
Starting point is 00:06:10 if you have a built-in power bank, like you've, a lot of the times they'll be like, can you remove the power bank from the thing that goes in the over? Because they're worried about lithium batteries going boom, boom. They ask me if I have any lithium batteries and I always act offended that they would even ask.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I'm like, I would never. And I have no idea what they're talking about or whether I have hold your fucking vape to your mouth and go, oh, no, say that to my face. I think that's lithium powered. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But yeah. Don't worry. So there was like a plane caught fire on an Air Busan flight in January. And I guess that inspired Southwest to now alert passengers who were checking in their flights to be like, if you are using a portable charging device,
Starting point is 00:06:57 do not store it in the overhead bin. That is no longer permitted. They only want that shit out in the open to be able to see in case things catch fire. So yeah, plane safety forever. Plane safety. That's what I say when I fart on a plane. We got some.
Starting point is 00:07:19 We got a quote from Don, thank you, Bay. Who has never, never chimed in to say a complimentary word, has just chimed in to say good one on that one. No, you're doing it. All right, Trump had a quote about shoving something or other up all of our asses. Yeah, he's just, I don't know, he's giving a speech about, like this is him talking to the Kennedy Center board and then brings up, like he's just, I don't know, he's giving a speech about like, this is him talking to
Starting point is 00:07:45 the Kennedy Center board and then brings up like, he's like, we're bringing back family friendly programming. And then he talks about how the Democrats rigged the election because again, he doesn't live in the same space time continuum as the rest of us. So here's him. He's lamenting about how he went in his first administration. He's acting. He's like, I got us the Olympics. I got us the World Cup. And I won't even be president. Won't be president. I got the Olympics and the World Cup and I won't be president. And
Starting point is 00:08:16 they're going to forget that I got them. Nobody's going to mention it because, you know, a little bit, that's the way life is. And then they rigged the election. And then I said, you know a little bit that's the way life is and then they rigged the election And then I said, you know what? I'll do I'll run again and I'll shove it up their ass Kennedy Center boys is the Ken? Well cuz it's all it's all his people now Oh flunkies now and he's the head of the fucking board now I like that. It's like just straight nervous laughter when he's like, and they rigged the election. They're like, ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, because like he really thinks they rigged the election.
Starting point is 00:08:51 So why are you laughing other than, you know, on some level, that's bullshit. And you're just trying to appease him and keep a smile on your face. The only way you know how. Yeah. I mean, it's like he's got them in check like Sad Saddam did when he did like a mass killing of that legislative body. And he's like, and some of you have been against me. And if I call your name, go outside for a fun prize. And then it was like, Oh, fuck. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:17 And now they're just like, and then she had me dip their ass and it was like, Oh, we love you so much, sir. Yeah. He needs to, so as we were talking about this, somebody was like, is he, Brian the editor was like, is he wearing a beret yet? Because that is something, like people when they get into their authoritarian era,
Starting point is 00:09:35 sometimes we'll have like little stylistic flourishes. Yeah. He could pull it off. Like as his brain is disintegrating, like I feel like there's, in parallel, his brain is disintegrating, I feel like there's in parallel, his brain is disintegrating at the same rate that his power is just growing and growing. And like just all the people who would ever push back
Starting point is 00:09:54 on anything he says are like disappearing. Yes, Mr. President, those rain boots, I think would be lovely for today's cabinet meeting. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. But he's so suit brained. so like eight, like there's that anecdote from when Donald Trump Jr. Was in college and he was going to a Yankees game with his dad and his dad like
Starting point is 00:10:17 came to his dorm to pick him up and he had a Yankees Jersey on his dad, like slapped him so hard he fell over and was like put on a suit I'll be in the limo. He's just so like the only thing that you're allowed to wear is a suit and also tennis white. Yeah yeah I gotta have a white polo and some khakis but still stings. Accentuate your big tanker. The other thing is you know I think if to that end, he could start maybe wearing like fake military medals. That is what we need to get him doing that man. Like real.
Starting point is 00:10:51 The Battle of Dei. I won that. I'm trying to think like who would have been because I could see him like starting to dress like Michael Jackson Dangerous era. You know, like Michael Jackson, like he had like just so many different like I think he like had military medals on like some like leather shit, you know? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was wearing medals, you know, the king of pop. Yeah. Okay, bro. And I'm losing my mind. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:11:16 God, we need somebody to style his ass, like start going, start exploring the studio space of his power and delusion. Let's see. I mean on it for his birthday bash where they go the further having that whole military parade that may have knocked some loose in his brain. He's like, you know, it's pretty cool how those guys were just from the revolutionary war. You know, one of those tri hats, like three point, three point hats. Yeah. Just full, full Gaddafi as Brian the editor put it. Oh, also habeas corpus, that's trending too.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I forgot to mention that. Why, what happened? What happened? How'd you do that? So Senator Maggie Hassan from New Hampshire was talking to Kristi Noem, you know, basically be like, hey, you guys are disappearing a bunch of people and like not even like saying what they did.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Do you even like habeas corpus much? And the and this is this interaction is so fucking scary. And how late it's on it's everything scary, spooky, hilarious, crazy, scary, spooky, crazy, scary, spooky, hilarious. Do you know what habeas corpus is? Again, that you can't just hold people without publicly stating why they're being held. You know, like, the shit's like in the Magna Carta, even. So, Secretary, what is habeas corpus? Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country and suspend their right to... Let me stop you, ma'am. Habeas Corpus, excuse me, that's incorrect.
Starting point is 00:12:45 President Lincoln used it. Excuse me. President Lincoln used Habeas Corpus. Habeas Corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens and hold them indefinitely for no reason. not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Wow. Habeas corpus is the foundational right that separates free societies like America. Anyway, it goes on and she's like, well, like Abraham Lincoln, and she goes, even Abraham Lincoln had to get approval for this. Right. And he did it retroactively. Yes, that did happen, but it wasn't just because like, I got the right to do it.
Starting point is 00:13:26 It was civil war. It was not just because he was on a fucking heater in the mainstream media or whatever. Right, exactly. So anyway, great legal, it's like, this is such. That was a good, just letting them hang themselves. Who was doing the questioning there? Maggie Haasen, the Senator from New Hampshire.
Starting point is 00:13:44 She's like, I'm from the fucking live free or die state. So we kind of give a fuck. I will die for this shit or at least say I will on my license plate. Exactly. Shout out the old man on the mountain who's not there anymore. Due to erosion, I think. Anyways, yeah. But for now, we're letting them hang themselves. And maybe in the future, we'll just like cut out the middle man. I don't know what that what that could mean, you know, but how are the Democrats doing there? I'm sure pushing back, you know, the resistance cred, it goes up and down, you know, I mean, like a few
Starting point is 00:14:18 highlights we even have right now is like, we will win. They're saying it in the streets here in New York. I think they must be quoting Schumer. There's a buzz in the air. It has nothing to do with the Knicks. Yeah, exactly. They're saying, I think Nixon for, but I think it was, I don't know anyway. But Nixon for president.
Starting point is 00:14:39 They want more presidents like Nixon. What tricky dick back here. But then there was like, you know, Cory Booker's filibuster, but then he kind of shit canned any goodwill he had for the people who just signed that crypto bill. Anyway, we'll talk about that probably later this week. And, you know, I would say probably the members
Starting point is 00:14:58 that like really demanded answers over the kidnapping of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was like, okay, you're fine, there you go. Get in physical space, be like, what the fuck is going on? I'm here to fucking check shit out. You're going to be oversight. So there was another moment a few weeks ago, when a few New Jersey Democrats, including the mayor of Newark went to an ICE detention facility to do their
Starting point is 00:15:18 job of oversight. And you know, again, there's numerous reports that these ICE facilities that are being privately operated and funded with billions of taxpayer dollars are basically these hell holes that are overcrowded. There's sewage problems, food shortages, people have even been dying. So when these people arrived at the facility,
Starting point is 00:15:36 they let the mayor in and then the Congress members, and then suddenly they changed their minds and then ICE agents are like, get out of here, get out of here, you guys are storming the fucking Capitol. Like I think obviously to create some kind of optics of like, they're trying to force their way in and we have to fight these like Democrats off who don't know their own constitutionally designated role in the government, which is to actually, you know, check these things out. Um,
Starting point is 00:16:02 so we're just playing red light, green light. Yeah. You gotta like switch it up a little bit. So this like altercation, you know, check these things out. So we're just playing red light, green light. Yeah. You got to like switch it up a little bit. So this like altercation, you know, it obviously happened because these people have a lot like legal lawful obligation to oversee what's going on in a federally funded facility. And then they're getting pushed around by goons claiming they have no authority. So this led to a trespassing arrest for the mayor, Ross Baraka. And clearly a targeted thing because they fucking let him in. You can't be like, you know, for trespassing. He's like,
Starting point is 00:16:31 when I said let me in and then they did and I was there for an hour and then they switched it up on me. I don't think so. Well, now Alina Habba, who's Trump's TV lawyer is like now the acting US attorney for New Jersey, threatened to arrest one of the other representatives there, Lamonica McIver for assaulting a federal officer during like this like, like, like being like, yo, get the fuck out of here. They're like, get your hands off me. They're like, you assault the officer. And I think Alina Habba knows she doesn't have any kind of case here outside of just harassing McIver based on how this like she put out a letter on Twitter, because that's what you do when you're very serious. She put I take my kind of case here outside of just harassing MacGyver based on how this like, she put out a letter on Twitter
Starting point is 00:17:05 because that's what you do when you're very serious. She put, I take my obligations as a US attorney seriously. I understand the responsibility that comes with my position. I will work diligently to uphold the law, blah, blah, blah. She said, after extensive consideration, we have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka's misdemeanor charge of trespass for the sake of moving forward. Oh, so you're such a kind God. You mean for the sake of you have no fucking case?
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah. Are you fucking mean? And you're trying to like, you know, present that is like, I'm actually not bad at my job. And don't know, I'm being kind. And I'm doing I'm doing him a favor. So then she goes on to talk about how she really didn't want to charge MacGyver either. She said, quote, I've persistently made efforts to address these issues without bringing criminal charges
Starting point is 00:17:48 and have given Representative McIver every opportunity to come to a resolution. But she's unfortunately declined. Is that how attorneys typically- I've tried being nice. I've tried being nice. Look, you- Like an abusive husband taking off his gloves.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Look, you murdered those kids and I tried to work this out for you but now I have to bring criminal charges you know how it is I think maybe she probably like if you apologize publicly or something and are really nice to me publicly we can make this go away um anyway the reason why this potentially is like a moment is because Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the house, has said like threats by the executive to arrest members of Congress who are doing their constitutionally mandated job will be a red line. So we're here Hakeem. What now?
Starting point is 00:18:39 Where was the good news is that, uh, we, we, the, the red line, you actually can move it. The the the red line is movable. It's like it's more of a red jump rope that we lay down to be a line. But we'll just if things get weird or there's any like pushback, we will be moving it back and backward and forward as we see fit. Yeah, it's he's oh, that no, not that line. Oh, I was talking about that wasn't the line I was talking about. That's a different red line for this other thing.
Starting point is 00:19:06 This is that one over there. Yeah, we're not. Yeah. I mean, they're doing some like, there's also the, like, uh, I think some Democrats are raising the possibility of like all the pressure that's being put on CBS as we're heading into this merger with Paramount, um, violating bribery laws and so they're like looking into it, but it's a matter of like, can you as we're heading into this merger with Paramount, violating bribery laws. And so they're like looking into it.
Starting point is 00:19:27 But it's a matter of like, can you make that shit stick? Can you actually like affect pressure? That's like the I mean, yeah, they they have the ability to do that in Congress. But like, I don't know if that's the thing that they really need to capture the minds of people right now, more than doing like belt legislative. Yeah, yeah. Like, well, this is I mean, and these are all crimes. And yes, please try and fucking hold these people to account.
Starting point is 00:19:55 But you also need to signal to people like what you you know, potentially you're supposed to be the opposition. Is there anything that people can glean from this or is everybody truly on their own? And it might be the latter. But you know, I like that they're like foul hunting like a like an NBA player, like a soccer player who like pushes someone and then get pushed back and like, oh, fall down. It's and they're like, armed officers pushing a woman and then like acting like she's her hands are lava. No, they were doing that. They weren't even acting like anything was going on then. They just went over the tape and they're like, OK, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:31 How can we trump up some charges for this person? Right. Right. Back into the as you'll see here, his head moves back into the left. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Amy Robach and T Holmes here. Diddy's former protege, television personality, platinum selling artist, Danity King alum Aubrey O'Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation. Aubrey O'Day is sitting next to us here. You are, as we sit here, right up the street from where the trial is taking place.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Some people saw that you were going to be in New York and they immediately started jumping to conclusions. So can you clear that up? First of all, are you here to testify in the Diddy Trial? Aubrey will offer her opinions and expertise based on her firsthand knowledge from her days on Making the Band as she emerged as the breakout star.
Starting point is 00:21:24 The truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamour. It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there. Listen to Amy and TJ Presents, Aubrey O'Day covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What happens when we come face to face with death? My truck was blown up by a 20 pound anti-tank mine. My parachute did not deploy. I was kidnapped by a drug cartel.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I just remember everything getting dark. I'm dying. When we step beyond the edge of what we know. To open our consciousness to something more than just what's in that Western box. And return. I clinically died. The heart stopped beating. Which I was dead for 11.5 minutes.
Starting point is 00:22:15 My name is Dan Bush. My mission is simple. To find, explore, and share these stories. I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor. You're strongest when you're the most vulnerable.

Starting point is 00:24:42 And we're back and the continued forward march of technology. Remember when like technology, like it wasn't that long ago that tech people were like, technology is like, maybe, maybe that'll be like good in the future. There will be some technology. Now it's just every technological innovation is just like the carceral state. And these drones are so cool man like cool stuff it's like yeah target acquired being designed to like make the police state more leak proof airtight and also to replace human
Starting point is 00:25:17 workers it's a it's a fun thing that is good for everyone great work but anyways it was the Washington Post is still a paper that is doing for everyone. Great work. But anyways, the Washington Post is still a paper that is doing some good work. They broke a story that the New Orleans police department has been using a network of 200 cameras connected to a facial recognition database to like real time track people's faces and locations and whereabouts basically turning the city into a vast, you know, like Terminator heads up display, you know, and Terminator when they like show it from the POV of the Terminator and it's
Starting point is 00:25:57 like identifying the person and like all their background. But I think it's like more like, because I think the Terminator was actually accurate whereas as we've seen like facial recognition technology doesn't work. So it's probably more like edge 209 from RoboCop. Remember the like gun machine gun ostrich? Oh yeah. Ostrich. I always thought of it like a weird crab. Just kind of like, yeah, that thing. Yeah. Yeah. But two legged. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:32 And like I accidentally locks on somebody and just shoots him until his stomach flaps up, blew my mind when I was a kid. I saw that too early and it's like one of the very, it's like my mom's eyes, my mom's voice and like that scene from RoboCop are like the most ingrained things in my mind. Your last moments on the last things I'll see as I like drift. That's so dark. My death is like, yo, that was so hard. Wild, bro. I can't believe they showed that shit.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah, I mean, this is a very interesting timing with just the amount of surveillance that's happening, because there's also a report that the fucking FBI just shut down their office. That's like an internal watchdog that was made to basically reduce the misuse of national security surveillance. So there's like cash but tells us like that office is gone. The office of internal auditing gone. And this is like while we're in the middle of like, do we reauthorize warrantless wiretapping laws?
Starting point is 00:27:29 What do we, what do we, how do we, what are we going to do? I think everyone's making too big a deal about this stuff, man. We just need to see where they're going with this. Hey, if you're just looking at regular stuff on the internet, you shouldn't be worried. Okay. That's what all the people say when they're like, like, what do you care about service if you're just doing normal stuff, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yeah. And get all the shit for. Oh, reasonable right to privacy, expectation of privacy. Okay. Zuckerberg from the start was just like, privacy is actually like people want information to be free. And I remember at a certain point being like, yeah, man, it's gonna be good for everybody. Information can be free. And now I'm starting to have second thoughts on that. And you know, guess call, call me crazy. You know, I guess I'm going to put on this tinfoil hat, but I feel like things might
Starting point is 00:28:19 be headed in a dark direction after these past 12 years. Put a Celtics hat on actually. Yeah, oh man, I'm not going to be able to be on boosties hat on. I'm missing boosties. I do just want to bid a farewell to the Boston Celtics. I hate to see it. Um, like I'm kissing, like way too much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Way, way too emphatically getting way too close to their face, but you do hate to see it. And I do. It does suck that it happened. It happened with an injury to Jason Tatum. However, they were already three, one down three, one, essentially when that happened. However, that doesn't mean that's actually pretty irrelevant, even though I'm pretty irrelevant and go Nicks. But, but next, maybe the next.
Starting point is 00:29:09 I mean, see, do you see Ghostface and Raekwon do that little kid freestyle? And no. Oh, yeah. This is like what's funny. All right. I think great is that like with baseball, that New York, LA thing, they couldn't get the fucking rappers out to represent like the Yankees. So we had like, you know, we had our own vibe here in L.A. But when I see this, like it's because the Knicks for the rappers is the Knicks.
Starting point is 00:29:34 The Knicks is the squad. All that energy. It's fucking. Yeah. Blinding. I am seeing some wild full body Knicks, like jumpsuits, like just the dopest that like people are people have been sitting on the sickest like Nick warmups from like the eighties starter joints. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Yeah. Again, the subway is just Nick city right now. It's awesome. Yeah. It's like it does just feel like like University of Alabama parking lot on. Yeah, exactly. Everyone's in this like, wrapping their shit. Yeah. But shout out to the Knicks. It's always so much fun when the Knicks are involved at
Starting point is 00:30:14 the end of the, in the postseason. I still, yeah, like the last time they made it to the finals, I still remember like, I wasn't even like a big Knicks fan. I was just like, so excited that the Knicks were going to the finals because they're just a historic franchise. Geek NBA. And yeah, what they're doing with the Villanova dudes and Jalen Brunson just like being somebody who was like a second round draft pick, super tough and just like wills his team to victory by hitting like incredibly difficult shots So it's a lot of fun for non NBA fans. This would be one that is worth
Starting point is 00:30:52 It is of the Pacers are really good, but I also didn't think the Knicks were gonna beat the Celtics So what the fuck do I know? All right?
