Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendy's Baconator, courtesy of Johnny

Davis. Delish. A delicious trending episode title from Johnny Davis. I'm Jack. That's Miles. Here is what's trending. Hashtag Trump is pathetic. You know, we were worried

About the outcome of the election But now that we got this hashtag trending Got it It's going down baby It's so awesome Cool You got em man You accurately

Described someone with no shame They will now act accordingly And be Whatever I mean it's all like everything's tied You accurately described someone with no shame. They will now act accordingly. Right. Be whatever. I mean, it's all like everything's tied to something. I think it's like half, you know, the Leslie Stahl 60 Minutes interview where he just like spiked the interview. And just generally, I don't. There's always something trending where it's like, oh, Trump's a buffoon.

And that's true. But did you watch that 60 Minutes interview that he leaked? It was very boring i watched the three minutes at the end where he's spiking the interview and getting mad like he said it was gonna be just whining and like whinging and he just sounds he does not he sounds so froggy still like he's not sound like somebody who has completely gotten over any kind of like illness uh so yeah i don't know he um did you see the moment at like at the midpoint where he uh drinks from a glass of water with two hands i saw that now yes it's beautiful it's been those hands

the hands the way he holds the glass the little like pinched face he uses he sips it all uh top-notch grade a content um yeah yeah he's he is pathetic proud boys are trending because the those emails that we talked about on yesterday's episode those did not officially come from Proud Boys Info at officialproudboys.com like we had suspected. It seemed so authentic. Yes. Instead, American security officials are suggesting they came from Iran.

Right. And what's funny, I don't know if you saw that press conference with John Ratcliffe, but he's only talking about Iran because he doesn't want to talk about the Russians who also stole voter data and could be manipulating it. And they don't know if it's read only or write or what they can do with that data, whatever you want to call it. But that's when you realize, too, even now, they didn't even have Christopher Ray speak like the head of the FBI. Like they had,

you know, Trump's sort of political mouthpiece do it. And then it just turns into like, can you believe it guys? Iran. Yeah. I will be surprised if it ends up being Iran and not Russia because this just doesn't feel like,

like is Iran really intervening on behalf of the trump administration quite a bit well they they'd they'd not want to deal with trump that's for sure at the very least i mean he's not all he's wanting is to just try and manufacture some kind of excuse for armed conflict right but the thing that john radcliffe was saying was like and this was done to make the president look bad oh really so you already out here with your mouth are saying why it was done it's like get the fuck out of here um but i'm sorry yeah what yeah that's what that's what he's in he's interpreting this like intelligence these intelligence findings reports and then just giving it a spin to me like and and this was done to like hurt the president so like it's really unbelievable like what he runs like i can't i can't believe it i can't believe it so it's actually the the idea is that it was going to

like trick people into thinking the president was trying to intimidate them but then they wouldn't be intimidated even though there is an actual paramilitary group who harms people on the street called the Proud Boys that he has allied himself with. That is that that's their theory. It's it's definitely not done to hurt the president. It's done to try to intimidate people into voting for the president. They got out in front of that quick, too. It was like, oh, it's Iran it's iran like right not not our friends at the proud boys the chairman of the proud boys also gave a quote uh i believe to like the miami new times or i have some outlet uh because he lives out there and they're like oh like what do you think about this blah blah because obviously it wasn't the actual proud boys and his response was quote the truth

is we're never gonna do that we don't care enough to intimidate anyone and we're never gonna do that period and that's not true uh but i like that you even try and make it look like you guys are so fucking lazy like we don't even care about that stuff cut to the videos of you like attacking people including robert evans on the street so yeah yeah also like we we don't care enough to intimidate anyone when your whole thing is, like, intimidation. Yeah. It's just very strange. It's very, like, seventh grade bully denial.

Like, yeah, right. I don't even care enough to kick that guy's ass. Like, I don't know. Okay, fool. We already saw it because we remember when he shoved you off the seesaw, you fucking cried and act like you had a concussion, and we know you didn't hit your head, fool. You were playing it up. Kenny Beats is trending.

This is a producer whose name became a thing for people to riff on. Yeah. Yeah. It's like Kenny Makes Bread, Kenny Wheats. There you go. Yeah. Kenny Has a Fetish, Kenny Feats. Yeah. people and he makes bread kenny wheat there you go yeah kenny has a fetish kenny feets yeah you know he does it it's it's all a whole thing i think it also goes to show how big kenny beats is like in the online like world you know like many people you've probably heard

tracks by kenny beats uh like you know on your radio or at your local disco. But his internet culture, he's really embraced and become... He's just part of that. So I feel like it's interesting when you really see that sort of influence be flexed in the form of being one of the top trending topics on Twitter. What's his most popular song that he produced? I don't know, Dan. What's his most popular song? SZA he produced. Most't know dan what's his most popular song sZA he produced uh most popular

i was gonna say right zach fox okay yeah oh he's the producer who did the zach fox thing yeah yeah okay got it so uh dj daniel coming in he's confirming most likely, and even though it was a joke song, it's probably Jesus is the one with Zach Fox, okay? Which is just like a joke song that they did together where they improvised it together. Yeah, and if it ain't about Jesus, I'm going to hit you with the K,

I believe is one of the lines in that. So he says, you know, he's got all the interesting lines, four score in seven years. It's all, he's the Abraham Lincoln, trap Abraham Lincoln, whatever, all the lines that Zach Fox is saying in that. But also even more importantly, his album with Denzel Curry is fucking dope as fuck.

And that whole video. What is that album? That's a whole ass vibe. What's the fucking album called? Like it's got Unlocked. It's called Unlocked, but it's also a visual piece too so the whole album has accompanying animation so you can it's like an audio visual treat um and it's really dope and denzel curry is one of my favorite rappers right now so yeah it's a match made in heaven uh diabolical ironclad beetle is trending on Google which is a mouthful

it's a beetle that you can drive over and you can yeah you can drive over this beetle it won't die it's very strong it just gets mushed but beetles never die it's science is studying it to try and figure out uh how to the engineering it's

armor exoskeleton yeah for engineering exactly um and finally you're not gonna get out of here without us talking about some debates uh it is debate night and miles, there's another drinking game based on the most common phrases said by both candidates. Are you committing to play this? I don't know if I mean, based on how accurate. So this drinking game was all derived based on the frequency of phrases. And just mathematically speaking, I think I will be completely fucked up off my life yeah if i even drank along because even it's like when you listen even as we read these out you'll just start laughing because you know you can already hear the candidates saying it like just infinitely

yeah um so i'll just go down the list joe biden's most common phrases this goes from most frequent to like sort of you know least frequent in terms of multiple uses going to make sure he uses that turn of phrase the most followed by united states of america then affordable care act uh followed by pay his or her fair share is another favorite bidenism uh good paying jobs next 20 million 20 million people, 20 million, 20 million people is another one. God bless you all. 20 million people covered by the ACA. God bless you all. And may God protect the troops.

That was said a lot at town halls. Apparently he said that multiple times at town halls. Running as a proud Democrat will create 18.6 million more jobs and not going to raise taxes are the most used terms by him. Donald Trump's. Donald Trump's. These are not surprising. Greatest economy in history. Let me just tell you.

That's one. Let me just tell you. Let me just tell you. Then I just want to thank you all that's that's something he says at rallies yeah he says he doesn't four years ago they said that's also another one he uses followed by three and a half million dollars which is just a i think a it's one of his hunter biden barisma smears yeah then. Hunter Biden received 3.5 million. Yeah.

Yeah. Sleepy Joe Biden, law enforcement group. Then third from bottom, I don't know. I don't know. Oh, my God. The fact that I don't know repeated, iterated. But double. It's not just I don't know.
