We are talking about what is trending this afternoon. And, yeah, let's talk about it. Macaulay Culkin is trending because he has been added to season 10

of American Horror Story. And I, yeah, some people are saying, TJC tweeted, I never would have thought Macaulay Culkin would be that big of a draw in 2020, but here we are. Do you know what this the theme is of this season?

I don't. Okay. Yeah. When was the last time he acted? Has he been acting? Yeah. He was in something recently. I remember when we talked about how he totally failed his Tarantino audition. Oh, right.

That he's been in something recently. I mean, I know maybe, I don't know. Look, I'm not an expert. Look, I'm not here to make friends. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to talk trends. That's right. I'm not here to make trends.

New York Times is writing about how Maria Sharapova has retired. Yeah. She wants the world to know it has nothing to do with the fact that she was using steroids and can't use them anymore. Oh. Or using performance enhancing. Did she ever win a Grand Slam? Yeah. She did?

Oh, yeah, yeah. I think she won a couple, right? She's saying that she called perseverance her greatest tool, but said it ultimately worked against her she tried to push through recurring injuries so it's basically oh yeah she no she did it oh she won wimbledon yeah that's kind of major i heard of that one yeah i think that's a that's one of the big ones i think i remember her you know what i'm getting her confused with is anna kornikova because at the time people were like no she's like traditionally attractive and was going to be a great marketing thing but can actually play right

yeah she was very good in her day and then uh towards the end of her career got suspended for you know using illegal performance enhancing drugs wait so is that affecting any of her like titles or anything no no no i mean i i believe it like a lot of the times people end up using that stuff to just recover from injuries i mean hell we use them every day yeah as podcasters said it man i just don't remember quicker recoveries is that she was uh she used to be engaged to sasha vujicic the laker oh really and they never got married? Nah, they broke up. Sasha, I remember being at an NBA game,

and he was just sitting on the scorer's table during a timeout just checking out the girls, just like looking directly into the crowd while the timeout was happening, and Phil Jackson was talking to the team. He was just staring directly

into the crowd just being like hey I mean hey what's up he's the machine you know what I mean and maybe there's just a reference to his prowess off the court that's right is that was that his nickname yeah la machina that's incredible what else trending face masks is trending because a north texas face mask manufacturer says they can't meet the coronavirus demand uh i know that yeah people are taking face masks from hospitals it's it's wild that the right now this manufacturer is able to make about 600 000 masks a day but they said the demand is about a thousand times higher than that how is that possible oh just because it's global global and also because china is a huge manufacturer of a lot of these items and because factories aren't running the same and trade is slowing down it's created a like a greater dependency on people who are making them like within the country

um and they're sort of like we're like we're running on all cylinders and we still can't make uh meet the demand hashtag i want a little caesar's box seat is trending um this is one of those things that is just like a a promotional thing that is working but uh it's a seat that's made out of what looks like a little caesar's pizza box it's just like a giant oh like a cardboard throne yeah it's kind of dope actually i want one too do you really want one be real now jack you'd bring it home you know no yeah yeah i wouldn't be for the office maybe yeah for the office it would be dope actually that should be the kind of seats we record in right like you should have a mountain dew throne that would be i should have one made a taco bell and like blunts and people like whoa
