Hello the internet and welcome to this episode of What They Trend About. They Trend About Nothing. What They Trend About. They Trend About Nothing. Courtesy of Vanadium Silver. And Steaming Chuck. And Steaming Chuck on the Discord.

That was a nice, it was a call and response in the Discord. I like that. Vanadium Silver said, What They Trend About. Steaming Chuck. They Trend About call and response in the discord. I like that. Yeah. But then Silver said what they trending about. SteamHF. They trending about them. They trending. There we go. My name is Jack. That over there is Miles. These are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We will get into the Drake lawsuit. The lawsuit the No fair I'm calling the police, you know response to the wrapping Call the police in the middle of a rat beef. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep hip hop hip hop hip hop He knows how to pop feeling. Yeah, exactly. We'll talk about that There's we we have different differing theories on what this says about Drake

Because I think it was a cool move by him I think what's gonna win that rap beef. I think he's going to win that rap beef and win him. If something bad is happening, call the cops. Oh my God, just call the cops, babe. What else is happening, Miles? Tariffs happening? Tariffs. So, yeah, Trump's announced it's happened. He's like, he's going to be hitting Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs just with the

largest trading partners. It's where so many fruits and vegetables come from electronics, whatever, everything. What's wild though is the Guardian along with the story about reporting it, they also pulled Americans and 69% of Americans are like, yeah, the tariffs are definitely going to make things more expensive. 60% of Republicans also believed this. So you fucking losers. Anyway, this just shows they don't give a fuck about anything. But I thought they voted for him because eggs too expensive.

No, it's cuz some people said that rather than saying like I don't like not white people that aren't cis. Oh, right. That's what it is. So I'm just gonna go. Right, right. If you ain't a cis white person, leave me alone. But I will I will claim in question. Leave me alone. this white person leave me alone, but I will, I will claim and leave me alone. Yeah. Claudia Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico has responded just saying, quote, one tariff would be followed by another in response and so on until we put at risk our common businesses.

And then also if was saying about like, if it's about fentanyl that says more about your society, and maybe if you spent a fraction on what you do on like military and defense and put that back into your, you know, country, maybe you could tamp down on some of those issues rather than blaming, you know, migrants because something like 88% of the fentanyl that's get seized by the border was like from Americans bringing it in. Yeah. And it's not coming in on migrants.

And when it does, it's coming in like fucking trucks and shit. So very convoluted, but again, he's kicking off the fucking economic turbulence already. So hey, if you got shit that you get from over there, maybe stock up a little bit. Love on the president of Mexico has better things to say than any politician in our country for the most part. Can we vote for the party that's in control of Mexico for in the US?

We better watch out the Democrats might be like, should we just do that? Should we just copy them but a more watered down? I don't know, let's see. I mean, I would take a more watered down version that actually targeted neoliberalism and. Not actually, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no me and flood their little uh fam validation on cameo. This was a last.

This was not, was not to last. This was her kicking off her cameo career. Hey cameo. It's your girl from Colorado, Lauren Bovert. I am so excited to be joining another platform where I can connect directly with supporters from all over the world, whether you or someone. Okay. She pointed at the camera on that first pep talk.

If you want to surprise friends or whatever it goes on. She said, what's up? It's your girl from, what are you a fucking failed? What's up? Y'all it's the president of the United States. Cher boy, president Joe Biden gang gang. The plugins she used in Pro Tools made it sound like she was actually inside of a truck stop bathroom.

So I'm really impressed with whatever production stuff she's got going on there. The sad part is you won't be able to get any of these videos because within hours of the page going up, it was deleted just as quickly since Bobert has no concept of ethics personally or professionally. I think she didn't realize that she can't be trading off of her name as a congressperson to do like paid appearances and

shit. That's a no-no. And I think she was just playing copycat with Matt Gaetz and was like, well, he's doing it. It's like he resigned in disgrace, whatever. Yeah, to try it. Her performance reminds me of the RNC rebuttal lady who like came after Biden's one bright spot of the past two years is like good state of the union where they got him on the the good uppers and the rebuttal was just kind of weird and like Kind of she would like emphasize the wrong word and stuff. Yeah, Katie Britt who yeah Yeah, I feel like somewhere out there. There must be like an RNC performance coach who has very strange ideas about How people should speak on camera like okay now close your eyes for three seconds for no reason

Now point at the camera and roll your eyes into the back of your head for emphasis. I guess is how yeah, yeah your eyes into the back of your head for emphasis, I guess is how. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, now give a warm smile and freeze it for 15 seconds. So it looks like you're about to pitch forward with a knife in your back and an old mystery TV show.

Because none of them are actually experienced in being authentic when speaking publicly. They're all doing some version of a newscaster they grew up with. And that's their way of like talking. So they're like, hey, it's your girl, Lauren Boebert from Colorado letting you know, it's like you're doing promo for like a pet store that's about to open up in your local town or some shit. It's just very contrived and hey, bless them, bless them because I mean, she threw a little flavor in there by saying, it's your girl from college. It's your girl. Get over that. Oh, boy. All right.

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how would

you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our eleventh season of Family Secrets. Some of you have been with us since season one, and others are just tuning in.

Whatever the case, and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family, where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from others, and the secrets we keep from ourselves.

I'm Madison Packer, a pro hockey veteran going on my 10th season in New York. And I'm Anya Packer, a former pro hockey player and now a full Madison Packer stan.

Anya and I met through hockey and now we're married and moms to two awesome toddlers. And on our new podcast, Moms Who Puck, we're opening up about the chaos of our daily lives between the juggle of being athletes, raising children, and all the messiness in between. We're also turning to fellow athletes and beyond to learn about their parenthood journeys

and collect valuable advice, like FIFA World Cup winner Ashlyn Harris. I wish my village would have prepared me for how hard motherhood was going to be. And Peloton instructor and Ratchet Mom Club founder, Kirsten Ferguson. And I remember going in there a hot mess. So listen to Moms Who Puck, a production of iHeart Women's Sports and Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports.

And we're back. We're back. And we just wanted to check in with the new candidate for attorney general, Pam Bondi. Yeah. Oh man. We thought maybe people were like, oh, well, at least it's not Matt Gaetz. And you're like, yeah, here's the thing about the person they just brought in.

It's Pam Bondi. So here's the thing. She is scarier than Gaetz. I would say, because not only is she just as craven and partisan as Matt Gates is, she actually has experience being an attorney general, but for the state of Florida. And she's made it clear for like over a year now, she's been auditioning by like constantly on TV.

It's like when the Republicans are back in the White House, I will make sure I am ready to go after Trump's enemies. And guess what? You are now squarely the new nominee for attorney general and pretty much anything bad you can do as a politician or anything bad you can stand for as a politician, she has done or embraces ideologically. But there's just like this one part if you're an interesting texture, because not only did she accept like a $25,000 campaign donation, some would call it a bribe that prevented the state of Florida from joining a class action suit

Class action lawsuit against Trump University. Just very shady. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, like a little bit of grease payment But then there's a story that that I just saw about how she stole a st. Bernard during Hurricane Katrina So, oh wow when apparently this st. Bernard was like at like a Pinellas County like dog, like a humane society, she adopted the dog like right away. It was, I guess was Master Tank and then she renamed it to Noah. And then the actual owners are like this older couple from Louisiana. They tracked the dog down to her home and they found that the dog was with her and they're like,

hey, can we get our fucking dog back? And she was like, nah, it's my dog. I don't even know who the fuck you are. So then there was like a lawsuit ensued. Pam Bondi's defense was quote, I took a dog who was a walking skeleton. That's what was wrong with him before the hurricane. If I thought I was sending him to a stable environment where he would be cared for as hard as it would be, I'd put him in my car and drive him back myself. I made a promise to him that I would protect him. They eventually settled out of court and the older couple got their dog back. And then Bondi just replaced that St. Bernard with another one. So, you know, she's like, I'm sure she visits the St. Bernard because she really cared about it. And it was in no way just a pissing contest, right? Yeah. No, no. Yeah. When you asked the couple, they have said the agreement initially was that she would visit the dog because she said she

was so attached and pay the medical bills. She hasn't done either, but the couple doesn't care because they're like, we just want our fucking dog back. We just leave us. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. Sorry, Pam. That's so wild to be like, I am just helping. There's a national tragedy in Katrina. I'm going to help. Like a lot of dogs were displaced. I'm going to be the bridge for this dog, uh, to a new presidential administration, the bridge dog owner. And then they're like, okay, we found the owners actually like fuck you you're right in this back It's my fucking dog fuck off this dog was mine, and it's mine. Yeah, yeah, so

Yeah, it was a scale dude. It was a fucking scale when I picked it up I thought in scale immediately throws the dog she supposedly cares about under my honor This dog was a fucking skill when I found like shit. No, not you honey. I mean, yeah, you kind of did. But anyway, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. So yeah, again, like with most appointments

we've been hearing about, we got a hedge fund guy becoming the Secretary of the Treasury. It's all systems go on the buffoonery. So we'll talk more as these people become you know come to us in higher definition But for the moment just know that the Trump administration is transitioning as we expected with absolutely, you know It's just gonna be cool very cool and normal people. Let's talk about Macy's real quick because there's a chance that the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is that when they do it Thanksgiving Day parade this year tomorrow we'll just have like

the balloons will just be like normal size Snoopy balloon like a balloon that like a kid is care inflatable yeah it's a mylar balloon from my fucking grocery store Snoopy mylar balloon and they're like zoom in zoom in assholes what it's all wobbly. It's so small. I can't keep it in focus. The wind is too intense. So I'm assuming this story is about some sort of massive, massive criminal

conspiracy, but the way it's being currently reported suggests that like one person started using their job as like Macy's small package deliveries account manager and just like went fucking wild to the tune of $132 million because Macy's was forced to delay reporting its third quarter earnings. Like the whole company had to stop their earnings report after an employee hit up to 154 million dollars in expenses related to delivering small packages according to CBS News. This is the thing I don't understand because they did say like I don't know what exactly they were concealing with the like fake expenses because they were the Macy's were

saying like this didn't affect like vendors or customers or our companies cash. I'm like, are you, are we, are you sure? Are you sure about that? What the fuck is going on? But they said, cause we also know like they're not pursuing at the moment, they're not pursuing criminal charges. It's very like unclear. And I'm, it, I'm more intrigued to the more I'm like, what the fuck? Why was it one person? Who is this person? The more I'm like, what the fuck? Why was it one person? Who is this person?

Saying it was one employee overseeing small package delivery expenses. And like they racked up 132 to 154 million dollars worth of delivery expenses. Like the fact that it's specifically delivery expenses. It's just like, I'm picturing like the expense account equivalent of someone who takes like a little lick of icing on the side of a cake and then like, they're like, Oh, I better even that out on the other side. And then they like keep doing it until they've stolen 132 million dollars. There's just like, Oh, fuck, I better cover that. Well, they, I had a big lunch yesterday, so they're going to expect me to have a big lunch today and then a better take a expect me to have a big lunch today. And then, uh,

better take a few more licks of the old icing. Yeah. I can, I, if someone understands how any of this works, like, like mechanically, I really want to know, like, what do you get out of hiding these expensive and how did they like, I'm assuming they enriched themselves potentially, but if they did, I feel like this is probably like they had somebody who was fairly high up in the company who was actually not really a person, but like, was part, like the front of a scam.

It was just like working remotely and they just didn't have good kind of information security in place to deal with it. And so now they're like, fuck, fuck, fuck. How do we make this not look wildly irresponsible? You know? Yeah. Yeah. Because this is going all the way back to twenty twenty one. And I mean, I get it. Macy's as a company is not doing well, because let's be real. This is it ain't ninety six.

Like, we're not going to the department store to get our pajamas this year. Like, just people don't shop that way anymore. Yeah, so I don't it does feel a little weird like just fucking hide shit, man I don't know and like just as one guy. Okay, I don't know why everyone's asking so many questions And wait with them, but how is it bad that we didn't even realize that one person can do this But my name is you couldn't do that What the fuck is it fair? We got a new book report shout out to Grafton scamming You know you couldn't do that Shout out to Grafton scamming they are America's number one pastime Supplanting football and fucking apple pies. I guess the church. Yeah. Yeah church then it was football Then it was fucking apple pies. Yeah

The great American pie remember that movie? Cool reference. Jack! I'm about to watch that for Thanksgiving with the family. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday, November 26th. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves.
