I just got done uh crying laughing from an artie bucco clip so things are good uh little things yeah nature the earth is healing it's that's right random sopranos clips on youtube are working again uh yeah the you know the inauguration went off without a storm without there there's no storming happening um or the q anon the storm either yeah yeah oh yeah yeah storm yeah the storm um i i'm just very casual with my q anon references these days uh nomenclature uh so what what do we notice what's trending from

the inauguration uh the inauguration uh lady gaga was extra extra extra read all about it she was had very strong you know high school theater student, like, Oh yeah. Vibes like the theatricality of her performance. I don't know if that, uh, represents a high watermark or if that changes the way, uh, songs are performed like before events from now on, because it was just the,

you know, it was, she, she was inhabiting a role. yeah it was it wasn't just hi i'm here to sing she's like i'm here to fucking give props to the flag because when when that part comes and says gave proof through the night that the flag was turned around and she was like that motherfucking flag was still there I was expecting the flag

to just burst into flames at that point the dress, the fucking the brooch, the life-sized eagle life-sized golden eagle I saw a tweet somebody posted with that you know the eagle that's on the dais in the capital that's like a

giant they were like ladies got lady gaga's brooch has returned to its perch it made remember when ghostface used to wear that eagle bracelet yeah it was like it made that eagle bracelet eagle bracelet seem like very minimal yeah you know like very toned down. And this is when Ghostface had a fucking like bangle with a full eagle on it. Yeah. Anyway, I'm old. Hey, remember when that 90s rapper wore an eagle on his wrist? J-Lo is also trending for, you know, her performance of a Woody Guthrie song that included quick. A historic moment.

Yeah, a historic moment where she also scattered a little bit of lyrics from her 90s hit let's get loud yeah uh this is i'm honestly i think this is probably the internet is probably going to say this is one of the best moments of the inauguration i think i agree uh tune into tomorrow's show where we cannot stop talking about it but here it is for the uninitiated i mean I mean, justicia para todos Let's get loud She did not scat it She did not just ad-lib that

That was a plan Her whole life Not just the performance Her whole life was leading up to that moment And you know, I'm hoping That was not authorized I'm hoping that was when LL Cool J wore the FUBU hat In the Gap commercial and platformed FUBU like that, where she's just been like, you know what? What are they going to say?

After the president did that shit, I'm going to get in a, let's get loud. Trump is out. I honestly thought we were going to go into a medley when we were. I did too. I thought we were headed for like some sort of Super Bowl-esque medley when we were watching that. I did too. I thought we were headed for some sort of Super Bowl-esque medley of J-Lo hits. Remember LL Cool J was at Bill Clinton's

inauguration in 93? Was he? Full on. Yeah. Bernie. I wish they had cut to Bernie when she said let's get loud. Just looking grumpy. Single tear.

Otherwise doesn't move. let's talk about the uh pardons because those officially came through a lot of rappers got pardoned uh a little wayne it's like oh right you did this because you are only thinking about yourself right literally to save your ass you just sold yourself out to be like trump's platinum plan he will listen to get the fuck out of here i'm really curious what happens with little like i mean he's obviously he's one of those people where the music is so good like people aren't going to put him down like that but i'm curious what what the jokes are that he will have to encounter or if there are any um but i mean he can now come out and say like oh i just did it for i mean not not like not that it matters because the election

is over but yeah that photo exists yes like it's over at that point but yeah and then what is it the co-founder death row was like someone snoop was like secretly lobbying for to get uh clemency as well did he get it yeah yeah wow you know who did it joe exotic oh we were just saying how did he do him like that he had the limo waiting bro why did you do joe exotic like that i mean officially fucked over uh this is yeah i mean what they expect you know stay strong joe bang them bars brother i mean the idea that he was going to get pardoned uh like i wasn't fully just because he believed he was uh that he seems to believe a lot of things yeah uh and i don't know very confident very very confident stay strong man yeah stay strong joe exotic because what he's doing like

a 20-year sentence i think yeah i mean who'd have thought your your just wild ridiculous tiger business what kinds of bullshit going on would get you there but uh let's salute uh some of the you know there there were there was a lot of talk about uh the wardrobes that people were rocking uh specifically i was interested in uh all the jordan ones making a making an appearance sneaker culture was in the building uh yeah the they were maizey biden jordan or macy jordan president jordan's granddaughter maizey biden uh biden's granddaughter maizey rocking some mids there's a lot of debate over if they were the purple ones if they're the sisterhood ones okay fine but it was clear to any sneaker head you're like oh no that is a jordan one toe box i see yeah yeah um and then the one that even desus nice like desus i remember caught it

immediately he was like yo who the fuck just walked down the stairs in dior jordan ones for the uninitiated this is a sneaker that is like truly like the height of just opulent sneaker culture collab culture where it's a christian dior and the jordan brand collaborated on a sneaker and i believe it retailed for let me just make sure i get the retail price first because this is this is a big detail it retailed for two thousand dollars That's if you bought it from the website or whatever, you got the raffle to buy it legit. Right. That's shockingly high for retail. Like you, like the most that even like the off whites will go for is what?

Like a couple hundred, 300. Oh, retail. Yeah. Yeah. They still don't reach that price. But I think with this, because it has like, you it has this Italian leather and blah, blah, blah. It's very heightened. It's 8,500 pairs were made, $2,000.

If you try and buy that on resale, and based on this man's height, I'm going to say he's about a size 11.5 to 12. That is at a minimum, at 11.5 is $11,400. That's retailing for right now. I'm an 11 and a half. It is a bad size to have. Oh yeah. A lot of people have it.

Exactly. But then like, so if you go up 12, 8,000. So either, I want to know what Nicholas is up to. The man who is the husband of Kamala's niece. Yeah. Because the kid game is bonkers. And also, hey if you maybe you got the replicas you got the rep sneakers maybe your rep fam hey i don't i'm not knocking it

coco's repair looks damn near perfect so who the fuck would know normally i'll call you out in the inauguration but two seven thousand dollar sneakers i'm like do we need to audit this family too now the drip is too intense but i must know it's also just jealousy as a sneaker how'd you get them did you do i could see republicans being that petty but um could you this is a time of unity miles right right and like because already like the there's there's talk of like biden's peloton being a security risk like where we're getting the weird petty weird things that i could see like mitch mcconnell be like and that young man had on uh jordan won diors in the wolf gray sail photon colorway uh they retail at stock x for a ridiculous amount of money i i would imagine that uh you know mitch mcconnell thinks those shoes cost 25

dollars uh based on you know just oh they're tennis shoes right right because did you see that one time when bernie went on desus and merrill and they were looking at sneakers and they were holding up sneakers and like what they resell for and like they showed him the yeezy uh two red octobers and when they told him it was over 10 000 bernie was like what the fuck is wrong with you like what is what is this earth what happened this? This shoe? Is that? No. And he was just like, he sort of just outright rejected the concept of it. He was like, no, no, no, no.

We're not doing that. No. Just backed out of the studio, just repeating no. Yeah. I mean, it's like, yeah, when you consider like that, but that's really the world we're in, where there are people who are wearing like, you know, life-saving medications, funding worth of shoe, you know, on their feet and walking around. But, yeah. We are back to a place where our writer, J.M. McNabb, can submit stories that aren't just a Canadian perspective gawking at our country. just a canadian perspective gawking at our country uh he he wrote up a story about a newly released news that uh there's going to be a willy wonka prequel uh willy wonka prequel movie i i tried to rack my brain for a character who i want a prequel for less than Willy Wonka and I couldn't come up with one because everything about

Willy Wonka like the the Johnny Depp Willy Wonka uh character and movie that they had him like being like his dad was a mean dentist who forbade candy like it was just everything that was trying to give this character a backstory was just bad and then there's also like very problematic shit about like where he kidnapped the Oompa Loompas from you know

a lot of I think the original text had it being like he went to a he went to Oomphrica right yeah exactly and like basically they are kidnapped slaves um so like all all signs point to don't do this um yeah unless it's like you know queen's gambit type shit where it's like the metal period of willy wonka like let's not go too far back like when he was getting high off the candy you know right and had like left earth and he was wilding out and be like oh hold on i have to get my shit together

the rise of wonka where he's just like taking over and like killing other candy manufacturers like in a it's like sort of scarface-esque oh shit yeah but so apparently timothy chalamet is the front runner for the part uh it's been around and in the works for a while at one point ryan gosling was being considered as was donald glover uh yeah i don't know um it's like origin stories of i don't know it's weird because you can't like when you know there's a darkness to a character and you try and do this like weird fun back like prequel type thing it kind of sort of betrays what the actual character is and because i mean oh here's the thing would you watch the you know darren aronofsky fucking willie wonka biopic pre-story like that's the like you wanted to honor how dark you actually think that story is

i didn't think the joker was great but it at least like had a very coherent vision of like that was an interesting one because it was an origin story but it was like it's not like they just uh dissected the character of the joker and like pulled out like different like pieces and was like and here's where this comes from and he's called solo because he showed up to a restaurant by himself uh and that's not his last name that was party for one actual part from the han solo origin story uh apparently so i was trying to think of worse origin stories that could possibly be in the works and uh reality beat me to it uh cruella deville has one. That's apparently later this year.

Why do we need to add depth to the fucking cigarette smoking? We see her take her first smoke. We see a puppy nip at her heels and trip her or something. I don't know. Her dad didn't let her have puppies. You know who I want to see a origin story for quint quint from jaws i mean that's a very me answer but i would i would watch the fuck out of that quint probably saw some shit yeah you know what i mean definitely that's where like

do you want to do you want to know what he's do you want to look through those eyes no that's a good point probably Probably not. Because he's the one who says it's like a doll's eyes, right? That's right. Lifeless. Yeah. When he realized to use that phrase, that moment, I know Quint is haunted. It's just weird.

Even you saying that, I'm like, nah, dude, that shit is too haunted for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Darren Aronofsky, do Quint, actually. And maybe that could be just like a new portrait of what it means to be a fisherman. And then finally, we wanted to talk about another bullshit story that has had the most lasting power in the history of trending. So we last week, Miles, when you weren't around for one of the trending episodes, we talked about the fact that Disneyland is canceling their annual pass. Right. Then earlier this week, you were like, oh, we should talk about the fact that Disneyland's canceling. We were like, no, we talked about that last week when it first broke.

I swear today, it is still trending on Twitter that Disneyland canceled its annual pass. This is a very big, and this is a story that has, like we've seen stories trend because they're changing and there's new developments. This is just a single announcement. It's the same story people are just sad that it happened uh and waiting for them to announce exactly what they're going to replace their annual pass with um so yeah this is like this is like the less toxic storming of the Capitol. For these people who are like, I need my Disney. What the fuck?

And what's happening to it? Because, man, that AP life, that's something else. I have APs in my family. Oh, really? Yeah, not too many. Not in my immediate family. Cousins and things like that. Shout out to the APs. too many like not in my immediate family like you know cousins things like that uh shout out to the aps uh and then like people i know who are like low-key ap people annual pass holders you've seen

everybody seen this sticker that people have on their car um yeah it's cool i i hope i hope you find peace because the other thing is right now universal studios just took a shot at them from their twitter account. They said, hey, past members. Yeah, you. We just want to let you know that we love you. And it's like, fuck out of here, Disney. I mean, universally and shit.

Yeah, it's a whole it's a whole subculture. People hanging out daily on the daily in 1970. Hundreds of what they call yippies uh which is a wave of like the disneyland social club uh conquered tom sawyer island climbed the main street flagpole blocked major thoroughfares got into fights with park guests uh and forced an early unexpected closure uh so so that was so i guess that was the beer hall push of disneyland interesting interesting the hitchhiker social club i think there was the magic rabbits the main street elite social club you know shout out to all y'all yeah if you're if you are a angry

disneyland annual pass holder let us know what what recourse do you have they'll give you your money back right do they is it that bad to not go to a theme park yes yeah it's terrible i guess they should i it would be interesting to like see if they all just found new places to hang out um like they all just migrated to different that would be yeah like they troll at Universal. They're like, we're so pussy. Like, you're like, oh my God, what the fuck is this? What happened? White Rabbit Social Club is what I was talking about. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, I hope you find something, but it's not going to be in California.

Yeah. It's all kinds of bad here still. All right, guys, guys that is gonna do it for this trending episode on inauguration day uh we are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show with jamie loftus it's a good one i will talk more about the inauguration uh until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves wear a mask wash your hands stay inside and don't do nothing about white supremacy well i mean do you have to say that anymore since biden's president yeah actually that's right he let's jack relax biden biden is president
