Just listen, okay? Or Lacey gets it. Do it. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this special episode of Trend-O-Matic for the people. Great album. Great album. Great album. The trend-o-matic sounds like something that a 1950s door-to-door, like Willie Loman type salesperson would go around selling.

And it's so vague, you don't know actually what the benefit is of having a trend-o-matic, but you know you gotta have one. The Wilkerson's have two. The Wilkerson's have too. That show title is courtesy of Killer Clowns from Outer Sky on Discord. Not quite Outer Space, but Outer Sky. Love it. Love the name. Love the REM ref.

I'm Jack. That's Miles. This is what's trending. We do have an update on the tubing story uh we we were just getting the very earliest of uh info on the jeffrey gone tubing uh penis out and then he he lost his job maybe yeah yeah maybe on a work call but we didn't know a lot of confusion yeah we didn't know if it was like a naked gun type situation where he was just like left alive mic and

video while he took a piss or what? He was tubing. Turns out he was tubing. He was masturbating during a work call that was an election simulation,

which is such a strange thing to be masturbating to or around. I'm sorry. I heard erection stimulation. There you go. That is a sad. Oh, man. I wonder if that's like some middle, like other like, you know, working dudes and like they're like late 50s or like, yeah, man, I get it. Sometimes you got to like you got to pick your shots, you know, because you never know when you could do that.

Unfortunately, he got caught with the mic on. Or if he was again, we still don't know if he was like looking in the camera being weak. I don't know. It's all just it reeks of like a guy who's old who had to who just was trying to masturbate during a work call i had a zoom call but i don't know why i'm trying to defend jeffrey right it's it's very strange they said that there was like another call happening in the background and then he like picked up his phone thought it was off uh but you could see that he was uh touching himself um and then turt hung up so people were like oh man he just got just like fucked up and caught himself but then came back on and was still uh at it and like no no i i don't know like it wasn't

like a thing where like he came back on and it was like a close-up of his junk it was like he came back on and people say it seemed like he had no idea that he had just been busted when when he came back on holy um now if he was just if he did just come back on and like act like everything was normal that would seem to me to be the behavior of somebody who thought they had got busted. So their speculation that he didn't know suggests to me

that there were still some weird things happening. Anyways... That's right. Let's talk Space Jam Tubin Space Jammin'. call you know that's right i'll do it uh let's talk space jam to ben space jamming uh all right uh that is a uh bad joke um yeah no they they leaked the space jam to script uh or at least somebody got a synopsis like with a movie screener or something what

what was it it was like a test screening email that had like the synopsis in it got it okay yeah um so people are like really acting like this is very uh that this synopsis is really off the wall uh but like as jm pointed out the first movie was about michael jordan teaming up with 1940s cartoon characters to defeat uh monstrous alien theme park employees like the plot of the first movie is pretty bonkers um Um, in this one, it sounds like, so if you didn't know space jam two was happening, it stars LeBron. Uh, and apparently it's not, it doesn't take place in the same space jam universe.

Uh, in this universe, it sounds like it's more, uh, it takes place in the like HBO max, the motion picture universe. Like it's like all of the warner brothers uh ip shit just like so that's a lot of characters yeah it's like lebron and his son accidentally get trapped in a world full of warner brothers quote stories and characters

uh thanks to an all-powerful force named algae played by don and lebron has to team up with bugs so bugs is still there bugs bunny but his son is a character in the movie but it's it's brawny is the name but it's not played by brawny it's played by a different high school student from the la area towel Bratel man. Yeah. Um, but he becomes lost in the universe, conveniently populated with intellectual property owned by the company making this movie. And so you've got, uh,

Looney Tunes like in the first movie, but you've also got the Harry Potter universe, uh, the mask, the Joker, uh, Pennywise, the clown. A lot of clown stuff for some reason.

Are there actually going to be Harry Potter characters? No, I guess Harry Potter is part of the Warner Brothers universe. But yeah, somebody made up a fake image where Hagrid is blocking LeBron. up a fake image where Hagrid is blocking LeBron. But I mean, when you hear that they're including the mask, the Joker, and Pennywise the clown,

that's as strange as a Harry Potter character being included, right? It sounds freaky. I mean, what's funny, though, is when people like i mean this is the leaked stuff it's really wild name a fucking movie where humans and cartoons are interacting

where the shit ain't fucking wild right i'll wait there's not like i mean i guess cool world was really like a dark take on you know the interaction of like humans entering a cartoon world but like i'm not you're never like yeah thank god who framed roger rabbit was just really rooted in reality like really helped me connect with the story it's like no we do this because the fun is smashing the worlds together of all this stuff but that is like oh it's in a way i'm like oh that's bullshit but i would probably want to see jim carreyrey maybe get crossed up or something. I could see a scene where he gets just twisted up with a crossover,

and his body literally goes, what? Like twists up, and he's like, whoa, I'm a corkscrew. Somebody stop him. Him. There you go. We could write this for you guys if you're looking. I think we just did. Yeah.

And what is Pennywise going to offer in a basketball game? I don't know. It sounds like maybe there's just like they enter a clown room because all of those characters are kind of clowny. I guess the mask isn't, but. Mask is not. It's from a normal Scott. Pennywise, Joker. I didn't realize that this is just the most recent attempt to uh expand the space jam universe there was a tiger woods

version that was being shopped around there was spy jam featuring jackie chan uh skate jam featuring tony hawk but uh they could never like get those off the ground um no i'm and i'm glad they didn't that that would have been so that i mean yes tiger woods is a fantastic golfer he has no so charismatic oh what it's one of my favorite actors tiger oh my god his his best acting comes from looking blankly into a camera for a nike commercial that's like his best acting or maybe that swing portrait that's like one of the most things that stick with me most when they did that high speed camera of his drive and you're like damn he keeps that alarm straight in the backswing um so yeah it's it's all yeah jeff gordon like i don't i don't know what's i mean jackie chan probably could have been the

closest one because he's like actually entertaining physically and he's like smiley and has a good energy right I don't know why it would be part of the Space Jam universe yeah Spy Jam I don't know Pat Robertson is trending because he has some

he has a news flash it's the ultimate breaking news he reports that he has been told uh by god that trump will win the re-election uh and it will bring about the beginning of the end times uh neither of which sounds that far-fetched you can hear yeah my theory on on why uh those aren't far-fetched on tomorrow's episode. But, yeah. I hope it's the beginning of the friend times where we can move forward as a nation and heal our wounds. But I don't.

Yeah. I mean, this also feels like one of those things where, like, if everybody is pulling everything out to get, you know, this racist trash pile over the line in an election steal or victim, whatever the fuck it is like that would if you're trying to get your evangelical base, like being like, oh, wait, what? End times. Christ will come back if he's reelected. OK. Yeah. You pointed out you're incentivizing for me. Was yet another like right wing person breaking with Trump and being like this. This is a warning. Like God has told me that electing Trump will bring about the end times. But you pointed out, no, that is that is the ultimate goal with a lot of evangelicals is to bring about the end times. Yeah. Yeah.

Just have Christ return, man. You know what I mean? Just bring bring him back, baby. Yeah. Pat Robertson is a Trump supporter, and that is his promise to you. Imagine if

I was like whatever your base is, you have to hit him with the best possible thing. It has to be Christmas if he wins. Whatever the motivations are of a group. If it was Laker fans, it it'd be like ad will he will sign with the lakers if trump wins and now like okay fuck i guess we're voting for trump that's what matters to me whereas like pat robbins

like christ will come back y'all in that wacky way you know mike pompeo even believes um because a lot of people are bought into that whole theology um that whole included evangelical christianity yeah like get some get some going in israel bring jesus back and we're on our way i guess not all uh evangelicals are like millennialist but yeah that's pretty popular here in these united states. And yeah, hopefully not. Other people who are pulling for Donald Trump. 50 Cent has officially come out and said that he thinks people should vote for Donald Trump. Has Ice Cube officially endorsed him or he just said?

No, no, he said he's not endorsing anybody. He cleared that up. He's like, I did that, but he's like i'm not fucking with it either one um but where 50 cent and his broke ass uh and his you know obviously he has all kinds of weird tax issues money issues he's he was looking at that the income tax brackets like under joe biden and he was like oh fuck that yeah i'm not paying i'm getting the fuck out dude you're i mean whatever 50 cent you've not been relevant for a very long time uh so yeah go ahead just just leave like and i think maybe that's a fun way to get people to think that you make more than four hundred thousand dollars a year he uh of all the people to you know step up and say on twitter i think all my followers should

support donald trump uh it's interesting 50 cent uh who got in trouble for a pump and dump twitter scam is the one who comes out and is like i think you should all vote for him uh because it's just basically a fuck you pay me type situation. Like literally just like shaking his fans down. Yeah. But the reason they were trending was somebody photoshopped. There was a photo of a cube and 50 together and they put they made their hats into Trump hats. I'm sure Trump is retweeting that.

I believe Eric was. He's like my favorite, my favorite basketball players. Oh, my God. Yeah. I could definitely see that. All right. Well, so that's what's happening, y'all. You know, stay plugged in to the election. Please don't take anything for granted.

We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the election. Please don't take anything for granted. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Very special Crofton joint. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Wash your hands, wear a mask, and don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
