Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendric Songs Over Baby Videos. My name
Starting point is 00:02:39 is Jack. That over there is Miles. This is the episode where we tell you what is trending. It is Wednesday afternoon and March 5th. And yeah, this is just something that came up as we were about to start recording. Just the omnipresence of Kendrick Lamar music now on social media has like I Don't think I've seen This before like Drake definitely had some songs that went viral and were like all over social media Maybe like a song at a time But Kendrick is now on Every genre of internet video like TV off squabble up, not like a still on every like so every video I see that sports video, you know, what a basketball highlights, whatever.
Starting point is 00:03:38 You don't need to know feed video. You don't need to know what I look at. But mainly basketball videos, feed videos. Are you a dietary enthusiast? Yeah, yeah, I'm mainly interested in the feed stuff for scientific reasons. But the but like listening to my wife, my wife scroll through like Reels or like Instagram, and she's like basically tennis video like tennis videos and videos right and it's just all Kendrick it's all like super desert Justin was like I see that shit on my like I was like watching a baby goat video They do it was like your videos are like turn the TV off
Starting point is 00:04:22 Just see it's like what are their head buddiesnies like boom bop bing bing bow like okay they're cutting into the stands i mean i think it's part that obviously the the kendrick love that's a huge wave but also i think just the way of social media algorithms people know you need to put certain songs to get the shit floated to the top yeah so i think it's partially like the era that we're in on how to sort of optimize people's, you know, ability to be exposed to your social media posts. But also, it's just everywhere. I don't know. It is it is just everywhere. It's just pure. I mean, yeah, like, people know that this is what the people want to hear. And so everybody is using it to get more views to their videos. But I've just like, I've, I don't think we've seen a takeover by a single album this profound in,
Starting point is 00:05:13 in social media history. I could be wrong, but I, I don't remember. Yeah, for sure. As an eye, I mean, but there's always like, you know, we had our old town road, Lil Nas X moment we've had, we've, there's definitely been songs that songs for sure can't escape. But yeah, the the intensity of it, too. Yeah, there's that weekend song like Blinding Lights. There's like all there's lots of the Kate Bush song that was used in Stranger Things. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Yeah. Like, there's definitely songs that go viral, but I haven't seen it like this Uniform across every genre and it's multiple songs from the same artist all at once. Yeah, you know anyways long that's a long may it last And get into get into some of the lesser-known there's a there's a lot of good Hey check out to pimp a butterfly. There's a lot of good shit. Hey, check out to Pimp a Butterfly. It's a really good work of art.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah. Good Kid Med City. I mean, trailer editors know about that one. But all right. Democrats. So Trump gave his big speech to Congress and the Democrats came and they were like, we are not going to take this sitting down. We are going to, uh, okay, we will be sitting down,
Starting point is 00:06:29 but we're not going to stand by silently. Okay. Well, we will be silent. We will respect decorum. Obviously, if obviously we do not want to be, the one thing we cannot be is criticized by a mainstream media that nobody listens to anymore. We cannot be criticized for lacking decorum by a mainstream media that nobody listens to anymore. We cannot be criticized for lacking decorum by that mainstream media that nobody has trusted or listened to in a long time. Even though people were opposed to have also have no sense of decorum at all. But again, God, we don't want that accusation. We've got to listen to the
Starting point is 00:07:00 referees that the other side is not listening to and that nobody else thinks we should be sticking to and listening to. Those rules matter to us. And therefore, we will, we have half organized a series of confusing non-protests for this speech. Oh, well, no, they carried, I had a little paper plate with some writing on it. So that's a protest sign. That's right. So I mean, you see you try and get away with that at Dallas Mavericks game, you know, they kick you out real fast. I know Mavs fans have more of an intensity to fucking stir shit up. And the members of Congress. I mean, yeah. So during that address, you saw everything. You saw little paper signs that said Musk steals or save Medicaid or this is not normal.
Starting point is 00:07:51 They were they were auction signs. For some reason, they were like, here is how we make it make ourselves like strike a pose of like, we're with you. We're standing up for you. The people with little auction paddles Little tiny auction paddles. Well, they also were pink Jack some people were pink, but not everyone got that message some people had Custom t-shirts with phrases. Oh Yeah Wow, we're back. We're back We got the custom teas. I mean it was just really really difficult to watch. I watched the entire address because
Starting point is 00:08:32 Damn you did yeah. Yeah, I think it's part of my job or something but also like I just like to watch the knife going real slow like But yeah, the the protests were just really difficult to watch given, right, what's at stake, the existential fork in the road this country's facing, and to see that maybe 10% of the people get what's at stake here in the room. Some weren't even there. It was just a very difficult thing to watch. And I mean, mean rightly many people
Starting point is 00:09:06 like what the fuck was that and then in the meantime you're still getting fundraising texts throughout this be like we can make this thing backfire if you give us $15 right now. Right. I'm sorry how does me giving you $15 make this this basically we're on our way to an authoritarian takeover. How does that slow things? He's been saying that for the last couple of years, and it seemed to have like sped things up. But that's what they're talking about. That's the small dollar donations backfiring miles.
Starting point is 00:09:36 And that's it's not the lack of any sort of intent behind the fundraising emails, it's just that they're wrong to try and fundraise from small dollars and need to go back to the billionaires that they've already been raising money from. Yeah, so there was also Senator Alyssa Slotkin who offered up the Dems official response, which repeatedly praised Ronald Reagan.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Mm hmm. She's like as a Cold War kid, I'm like, oh, cool band. I remember. Yeah. She's like, I'm thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in the 1980s. We're like, hold on. What the fuck? You know the hell that Ronald Reagan hath wrought on the country?
Starting point is 00:10:24 But sure. this is where but like so this is we talked. So we talked on Tuesday's episode about this document that was revealed, those marching orders for a new path for the Democratic Party organized by this group, the third way, which are, you know, not dream centrist, extreme centrist. And they their thing was like, we just got a tax center, guys. We got to stop listening to the left wing of the party. We got to just listen to Republicans about what they want,
Starting point is 00:10:56 like all the shit that we saw, like Harris started out being like, I think I might do a populist thing. I've got walls. We're going to like talk about how weird they are. And then she met with advisors and was like, I think I might do a populist thing. I've got walls. We're going to talk about how weird they are. And then she met with advisors and was like, psych, I'm going to talk about how I have a gun, I'm going to talk about how Israel fucking rips and is awesome and how we are going to be the most war party. I forget. I think whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Yeah, ready. Yeah. Like you can't fuck with us. I'd like to see you try, asshole. I forget. Whatever. Yeah. Ready? Yeah. Yeah. Like you can't fuck with us. I'd like to see you try asshole. So like that tack and steadily lost support momentum as she did that. They're like, we just got to keep listening to those same advisors. We got a we got if there's one thing that would have won the election is what if we had praised Ronald Reagan?
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yeah, like what the fuck are you talking about? What are you thinking? It just shows you they're all in on the status quo That's the only thing that the party is capable of doing ideologically if it conforms to the status quo. It's fine They're fine with it. That's it and to them they're like well to the status quo, it's fine. They're fine with it, that's it. And to them, they're like, well, let's raise the specter of Ronald Reagan to remind people how good the 80s were for a very specific group of people. That's what we need to do.
Starting point is 00:12:15 And again, not meet the moment. I think really though too, we're seeing the divisions in the party in sort of how members chose to engage with the address also. Some said straight up, fuck all this shit. I'm not going to be there. Why the fuck would I be here? That is an absolute no, we're not doing that. Others were like, I will get clout with my t-shirt, but also fuck this shit.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I will walk out, but I'll try, but I'll let them know I'm going to show my t-shirt on the way out. Then people were like, what if I wear pink? And others were like, what if I had sides? It just shows there's no one really at the wheel but In terms of numbers the centrist crowd has the most people in the party So you're gonna get sort of that feeling for Hakeem Jeffries was like we just need to be dignified in our Presence in our protests there
Starting point is 00:12:59 But again, it's so funny how many people were referencing the Serbian parliament, like where all hell broke loose and opposition people were like throwing smoke grenades and stuff, like fully shutting down business. But this is the paper sign brigade at a moment of very great importance. And it's just like one of these things where for the idea of decorum, I'm like, what? I don't even understand the benefit of thinking like, well, we're just going to be offended by what he says and that will wake people up. It's like, that's not, that doesn't look like someone who's opposed to anything.
Starting point is 00:13:36 They go low, we go high. That's what it's just sticking to that after they just keep getting. Their ass beat. Because you look at it like this It's like a political equivalent Trump pulls up and says man fuck you and your mama To your face and they're like, well, well I never And most American people are like most people are like sorry if someone's like it gets in my face and says fuck you I say fuck you back. You know what I mean? It's just yeah. Oh fuck me
Starting point is 00:14:05 Nah, fuck you like that's just kind of like our not most Evolved way of problem solving but just to not even see that kind of response of like oh no. No, no No, we're not doing this shit are in our that is just really lacking and they're literally just waving their arms in silence Yeah, well surely this is going to, I mean, it really is like, it's just going to need to be a thing that happens at a grassroots level in the midterms, which I like even, even if left leaning party, uh, you know, candidates perform well,
Starting point is 00:14:43 like I'm sure they'll outperform the centrist candidates in the next midterm. If there is a midterm election and then the democratic primary, like if that happens, I'm sure like there will be a democratic primary, not like they probably won't have a fair election against Trump, but like, it will just be a matter of votes. People just need to leave the Democratic Party straight up. Like if there are people, if there are Democrats who are like, this isn't working, like that are elected.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Yeah. And they're just like, I can't even this is like they're not doing it. They're not party for people instead of. Yeah. But that's, I think that's the thing when you, when we see these like little retreats where the centrists are trying to figure out how to rest control, it's that they see that they're particularly vulnerable to something forking off and doing the thing that they refuse to do.
Starting point is 00:15:32 And so they're trying everything they can to try and maintain that. But that would, I think, signal to a lot of people to be like, yeah, no, this is woefully inadequate. And what the hell is this this but I don't know I mean like I've part of me was like when I saw Al Green get kicked out for do you know disrupting the the address? I was like why didn't every Democrat just do that every fucking minute. There's every sentence Just start yelling make the sergeant-at-arms throw a person out person by person And you would have fucking thrown Trump off so bad if he couldn't get out his live fest of a
Starting point is 00:16:09 speech out because you say some dumb shit like really on and I think the thing that was like that might have been interesting is just to hear how even Caroline Levitt the press secretary is trying to sort of frame things to be like that was so disgraceful from the Democrats obviously it's just performative but if they weren't if they really started fucking shit up I feel like they I don't know what their response would be but this is Caroline Levitt's sort of criticism of the Democrats shameful moment by waving their arms. And as President Trump asked in his speech last night how could anyone possibly be opposed to any of this action that he is
Starting point is 00:16:46 taking? Well, apparently the modern day Democrat party could. The behavior of Democrats last night was completely disgraceful and demonstrated how severely out of touch they are with the American public. Yeah, it's I'm running for class president of the president in sixth grade. Yeah Yeah, it's and I mean, I'm just curious like I know that this is they just do that So they can paint the Democrats with a negative brush and they're like ha ha but like I wonder if they really did some shit That matched the lack of respect to Republicans have for any sense of decorum if they would have just said
Starting point is 00:17:21 They probably would have clutched their pearls too If they would have just said they probably would have clutched their pearls too because yeah Doing the same thing which is sticking to their sense of they have that's what the forum They have that reaction written before the thing and so you're gonna get the same response from them I I honestly believe there were Democrats who watched that and were like, oh no, they didn't like it They didn't like what we did. The Republicans were trying to make friends here. Just can't make them happy. You know, it's like toxic.
Starting point is 00:17:52 They're in a toxic relationship with the Republicans and insist on dragging our ass with them. One thing though, I think a lot of people going into the address was like, is Trump going to actually try and explain why the financial outlook for the country looks so grim and why the prices that he promised he would lower haven't come down one iota. And the short answer was Joe Biden. Yeah, yeah. Because he essentially was just like, yeah, man, there's going to be some bumps along the way with me completely trying to tank the economy.
Starting point is 00:18:23 But Joe Biden made these eggs so expensive. Don't try and analyze one of my biggest campaign promises. Just don't do that. Let's look at it in the context of Joe Biden. Laura Ingraham definitely did. It's just wild to hear. I mean, it's not wild at this point, but they they're they they also knew on Fox, like, bro, the cuts are hitting people that vote for Trump, the prices aren't coming down. Biden hasn't been president for like almost 50 days now, what are we going to do? And this is
Starting point is 00:18:55 what they kind of do is like they just sort of reinforce that argument with more nonsense. But I feel like it sounds more and more hollow as just the stakes get higher. But this is Laura Ingram and Josh Hawley talking about how it's all Joe Biden's fault. Yeah. Now, the economy is top of mind for everybody. Price is still too high. Trump's been in there for six weeks, but they're bringing egg cartons tonight to make their point because Biden, I don't know, didn't he oversee the killing of what, two million
Starting point is 00:19:21 chickens or something because of the bird flu? Yeah. Completely overstated threat. But now we're dealing with the brunt of what biden did but it's trump's fault just gonna say whose fault is that this is all joe biden we're dealing with the biden fallout and this is why trump's energy policies getting energy prices down yeah reopening which is already good pivot and this is why like the fucking up of the economy is needed essentially but yeah this is that like lower third said Biden broke it Trump
Starting point is 00:19:46 will fix it and I think that's what they wanted people to come away with but I'm not sure they did because that speech was wild fucking all over the place they had like a little boy who had brain cancer wanted to be a cop and they're like well guess what little boy I'm making here's your loaded gun no they made this little boy a Secret Service agent's your loaded gun no the fuck they made this little boy a Secret Service agent the head of the Secret Service pulled like it was like a the end of the apprentice or the not the apprentice undercover boss where he's like in here little gifts for you the downtrodden who I am the architect
Starting point is 00:20:17 of all of your fucking shit they gave this little boy a badge mm-hmm the head of the Secret Service gave him a badge and then they're like, oh and then this jock, he wants to go to West Point. Well guess what Sonny, I have found out that you have been admitted to West Point. He's like doing giveaways and shit. Wow yeah yeah yeah. And again, it's all theater. And everybody check under your seats. There are keys to... actually, it's like they're not keys to a car. A cab does include that little child, unfortunately. Yeah, it does. Yes, it does.
Starting point is 00:20:47 All right. Let's let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Hey, it's a Martinez. The news can feel like a lot on any given day, but you can't just ignore las noticias when important world changing events are happening. That is where the Up First podcast comes in.

Then it's a good thing our podcast, Part-Time Geniuses, counting down the 25 greatest science ideas from the past 25 years. That's right, Mango. We're talking animals. In a paper called, quote, chickens prefer beautiful humans. Right. This was actually the title of the paper. They all discovered that much like humans, chickens are beautiful humans. This was actually the title of the paper. They all discovered that much like humans,
Starting point is 00:21:47 chickens are attracted to symmetrical faces. We're talking medical miracles. He's an endocrinologist who found a way to stimulate insulin producing cells using, wait for it, the saliva of a Gila monster. There's no way to make that not sound crazy. We even talked to some of the experts behind these breakthroughs.
Starting point is 00:22:05 It's a week full of fact-packed stories you won't want to miss. So listen to the part-time genius countdown of the 25 greatest science ideas of the past 25 years, starting Monday, March 3rd, on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here?
Starting point is 00:22:24 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.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Mm, 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,
Starting point is 00:23:03 no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup. Now take a big whiff, my brah. 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?
Starting point is 00:23:44 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.
Starting point is 00:24:02 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. or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:24:30 And we're back. We're back. Also, I feel like the other lesson the Democrats need to learn is just like, yet Joe Biden fucking sucks. Like, just be like, yeah, he sucked shit like that guy. Like we we agree. We're going to be better than him. I was president. I think but all this like talk to of like, well, the Democrats need to do this.
Starting point is 00:24:47 It's like being like that square needs to be a triangle. They're like, well, it ain't. It's got four sides. It will never be. It it cannot be. Yeah. Because we're asking it to do something it is incapable of. And I think the sooner other voters can break out of the paradigm of like believing that the quicker something else can happen
Starting point is 00:25:07 But again, this is this is the axe absolute fight The Democrats are are fighting right now to get convinced people this shit is not a square still and it's like that might might be Squaresh adjacent. Yeah, but it's just it's not it cannot do a thing. It's just not built to do I It's not it cannot do a thing. It's just not built to do I also appreciate that you did you you're implementing our plan of you said the talk to of And as many times as we can insert the talk to uh craze into people's minds They'll associate us with that show and then uh more listeners more money and it won't be so weird when we drop our crypto coin Well, it did but nobody bought it. We couldn't even do a rug pool redrive I sorry relaunch site coin is returning though y'all get it we back yeah so this is actually old news it is lent so today marks the beginning of
Starting point is 00:25:54 lent for Catholics you might see Catholics walking around with that a target on their forehead Wednesday yeah you having a good Schwens? Wednesday. So we do for Wednesday, bro. But I had missed this. It's making the rounds, though, that Mark Wahlberg appeared on the Today Show a couple of years ago wearing the ashes and launched. I remember that what he's calling Mark Wahlberg 40 Day Challenge, which is like his rebranding of lens Yeah, sir
Starting point is 00:26:30 Which I Appreciate it. What do you do? You got to like read something foot for 40 days in a row, but it's yeah I mean so the way I Had lent as a kid I was actually talking to my kids because they heard about Ash Wednesday at school and so they were asking about lent and I was talking about things we had, like I gave up soda.
Starting point is 00:26:52 You pulled up a chair and then you turned your hat around and he said, boys, I'm gonna tell you about Schwentz. Christ our savior one second. Let me take you back to the Schwentz. I do remember one year my mom who loves chocolate, gave up chocolate for lent and then we were somewhere in, oh, we were at a Nick's game in New York city and it like got out late on the night that lent ended and she like pulled,
Starting point is 00:27:19 pulled off at midnight to pick up some M and M's. I was, I was the grind midnight M and M's. This is also I think the latest I'd ever beenMs. I was the grind midnight M&Ms. This is also I think the latest I'd ever been up. I was so psyched for those. Anyways, I gave up soda and that's that is how you practice Ash Wednesday and lent. But what one response that I appreciated was like, it's not a accomplishment thing.
Starting point is 00:27:47 You're not supposed to be like, and that's 40 days of working out. It's not supposed to be a thing you do to like, make your like fill a hole in yourself. It's supposed to be a thing you do to like, make room for contemplation and like quiet your life a little bit. So like they were like, maybe say no to one meeting a day that you would normally say yes to. Or, you know, like just do do less work instead of being like, I'm going to be like Mark Walbrigg and wake up at three and work out and pray until the sun comes up. And then I get to look everybody in the eye that I see walking around groggily with their coffee and be like, hey, I'm better than you, bro. I'm better than you. You're freaking poor.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I'm doing the Mark Wahlberg challenge. The Catholic thing about Catholicism. That's great. It's so many loopholes, so many loopholes. They you can do anything and then do like, I went to confession, bro. I'm good. Sorry. Lent is supposed to be 40 days, but they're like, actually it's 46 because we don't count
Starting point is 00:28:54 the Sundays. And on the Sundays, you can do whatever the f**k you want. Whatever you're giving up, go off. Have sex with a murder. Yeah. you're giving up go off. Have sex with a murder. Yeah so it's basically you're supposed to give up something to make room for the Holy Spirit as I say to the children at the dances that I chaperone. That's a I think a reference to an 80s movie of some sort. I mean I think it's something everyone says too a dance where there were Jesus freaks being the chef. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway
Starting point is 00:29:27 It's just it's more abstaining from stuff. Look y'all just Just don't listen on Mark Wahlberg. I think it's crush your lent this year with this cleanse Just bread and wine all day. It would probably kill Mark Wahlberg It sounds like bro, you're actually the worst Catholic ever. If you know this, I know you're trying to act like you're like the goat Catholic celebrity or whatever, but you're actually like a terrible Catholic. That was the weirdest thing is when the pope came to America and like visited Philadelphia, Mark Wahlberg emceed the event.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Mark Wahlberg has like nothing to do with Philadelphia other than that Eagles movie Anyways Happy Lent to everybody This is a movie. I didn't know was happening I'm a little confused by it, but I I'm intrigued so Steve Carell has joined Jesse Armstrong the creator of Succession's new movie, which includes Jason, Jason, the shortsman, Rami, Yusef, Corey, Michael Smith. Who's Corey, Michael Smith, Ron?
Starting point is 00:30:39 I was hoping you were not going to ask. Because I don't know the fuck. I was going to be like, oh, from the 80s, they had three name motherfuckers. By the way, I met somebody named Corey who was like in their probably 70s. Oh, shit. I was like, yo, are you the first Corey? Yeah. Like, you know, there's always got to be a first of like any of these names. Like, what's the oldest Jaden that's alive? Right. Right. You know, Corey. Yeah. Corey's just a name story. Like what's the oldest Jaden that's alive right right you know Cory?
Starting point is 00:31:06 Or is it just a name story? Yeah? I'm thinking about when Lisa Simpson was addicted to calling the Cory hotline this guy was he's just an actor He's just a guy Okay, all right shout out Cory Michael Smith in Saturday. Oh, he played Chevy Chase in the Saturday Night. Oh, he's good. He's really good in that. I just watched the first half of that. It's not a movie, but I'm old and I need a bedtime. So anyway, it's them three, them four, them.
Starting point is 00:31:35 It's them four. And it's about a group of billionaire friends who get together against the backdrop of a rolling international crisis. I'm assuming it's based in some of these interviews that we've talked about on this show where like billionaires are like, they all have their own like escape plan, bug out plan where they've been like, all right, so here's the plan. I have this like island that I've purchased. I have a security force that I've purchased that are ready to go to the drop of
Starting point is 00:32:06 a hat, but will I have to kill them all? Right. Or do I just have them come and then kill their family so that they don't have anything to go back for or anyone to feed? But anyway, I'm assuming it, like I think that's a good fit for the session creator someone who knows how to at least show the fucking wacky world of just hyper wealth and greed and how miserable people are and how am I'm the editors telling me Cory gained popularity in the 16th century. Oh my god. I've never seen a historical quarries Damn, that's crazy this quarry oldest quarry ever let me see that has a Google no no the Google the things I said city oldest city ever no oldest person named Corby who was okay
Starting point is 00:32:59 how about this who was the first famous yes like I hit us with if Google's not going to work on this. Not I'm Corey Haim. That's what that's what the earliest I could come up with was like the two Corey's back of the day, you know, probably in the 70s. I feel like the 70s was a Corey S decade. And I guess that's when like those Corey's were born. So that makes sense. But yeah, I don't remember much before that.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Yeah, I also wasn't alive. So what the fuck do I know? Sir, Corey Enfield, born 1370. Brian, you've ruined you've ruined my whole point here. I will never forgive you. Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to know about this. Yeah. Or he's just whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Shout out, Corey. That's just like your opinion, Brian. All right. Disney has. So we talked before about how there's this Pixar show that's coming as like the first, I think, show that Pixar is doing. Maybe not. I don't know. Impossible to know, really. I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I don't remember another Pixar show, but I know Moana 2 was supposed to be a Moana show. Win or Lose is the Pixar's first original animated series. Yeah, after they gave up on Moana 2, we're like, I don't know, edit it into a fucking movie, man. Like, just fucking give the piggies some slop. It sucks shit.
Starting point is 00:34:23 And the movie broke the box office when it went out. But we got more streaming stories. So earlier this year, we were talking about how they cut a transgender storyline from this show. And now it's announced that don't worry, they're still concerned about diversity. They are adding a Christian character. So, you know, we get to hear from all, all. So we can get all all marginalized people.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Yes. Yes. Wow. What a fucking that feels like a onion headline. Right. Oh, wow. What a fucking that feels like a onion headline, right? We're like, oh, they disappear trans character for Christian white character. Or are these the most disrespected minority in the world? According to only Christian white people. Yeah. Well, that's that's a trope you see a lot of right now. Like Matt Walsh recently was saying every good thing has been built by a white man, yet they have to live in the most fear and have the least amount of confidence of anyone
Starting point is 00:35:30 in America. Yeah, yeah. So I mean, just facts. Also, specifically hit the security system that he used to imprison his ex-wife was built by a white man. He contracted out to. All right, Miles, those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, March 5th.
