Hello, it's time to check out what's a trending on the internet. I'm your host, Miles Gray, and I'm joined by DJ Daniel Goodman. That's me. Okay, don't have to do all that, but welcome to this episode of

Would you be my girlfriend? I'll treat you good. Do you remember the remix of the Neptunes version? Yes! Would you be my girlfriend? Bless the Neptunes. Bless the Neptunes. Dude, honestly, I know so many Neptunes by heart. I feel like if the music did not exist and you gave me just the Korg Triton

and everything else they needed to make all those beats, I could by memory be like, what you need to hear right now? Freak Though by T.I.? Yep, I can do that one. Was she a freak though? She got angel eyes with a baby face. A classic, a classic, most certainly. I want my mama and daddy to meet her.

Baby, have my babe. God bless you. Dude, that song, though, it sounds like it goes into a little digital, little synth keyboard thing. Yeah, totally. That sounds like Zelda music, where you're walking around. Just anyone T.I. Yeah, walking music. There you go.

Don't take his... His takes on parenting awful uh but you know actually it's really the neptune's production i get props on that okay so what's trending number one jacksonville why yes i don't know so we'll keep moving number two um jackson you know why uh yeah so you know the republican national convention the big convention was supposed to go down in jacksonville that's what trump will have is they will be like yes we're with this man we will march with you even if it means the livelihoods of all of our loved ones we are down uh canceling that section of the convention because you know safety concerns which is like omg wow really uh but many people asked saying well it's weird if you're gonna cancel that but you're talking about reopening schools and these other things isn't

that a little bit like what's good here what are we supposed to make of that and he just like ranted about baseball so yeah i mean it's it's one of those things where no matter there's two sides now and one side is listening and saying yep yep, well, whatever he says, that's okay by me, no matter what. And the other side is saying, ah. But then there's some people who I know, they're like, that's okay with me. And then they're like, but they don't really have that. They're not really going to pull up, you know? Like, they'll be like, I support the sentiment.

But if I'm being real, like, I'm not that dumb. I'm like, I'm not going to go into, like, the COVID party and anyway we we don't have time for wafflers anymore no so let's move on no waffling and you know who's waffling that darn james cameron uh because the next trending topic is avatar 2 electric boogaloo uh they are not like the movie is indefinitely postponed because of pandemic obviously yes uh i really feel for those people who are just trying to get back on pandora you know because i know they're i talk about this all the time because people really were fucking with pandora from the first movie and really want to go to there for real yeah i mean you know i get it it's it's a paradise and all that unobtainium, I mean, come on.

It's just sitting there ready to be mined under that tree or whatever. Dude, on those floating cloud mountains, dude, smoking on unobtainium. You know what I mean? Got the Spotify slapping. Really? So I have to be honest with you. I'm going to clown myself by saying it. But first of all, the fact that there's five avatars in the pipeline is a total joke.

But at the same time, I would be lying if me and my friend group wouldn't occasionally say zahelu jake sully just because that piece of that piece of text quote is so stuck in our fucking brains just being like i see you i see you so as much as i cloud on avatar right it's just stuck in my head zahelu jake sully zully. Zaheelu. It's nothing. It means nothing. You're one of the people I pray for. Thank you. I appreciate that. As I apply my makeup.

Yeah. Just have the tears of a clown. Next, Taylor Swift. Yes. She is a trend in also. Oh, my God. If you were a Swiftical or whatever they call that, if you followed the Tay-Tay, if you're Taylor Gang. Taylor Gang. Taylor Gang. that they call that if you follow the the tay tay um if you're taylor gang taylor she she just

basically said yo dude tonight at midnight the eighth studio album comes out folklore get with it and it's oh shit and it's it's under it's a lowercase f so you know she's she's not fucking around 16 songs and i think i think what she wrote is it's about, I've poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into it. All right. So shout out to whims and dreams and musings. Any good features? Okay.

Bonnie Vare. Oh, okay. Let's see. Roddy Ricch. Okay. Who else? I have a song with- DaBaby.

DaBaby? Wow. This looks like a really cool lineup. What? Yeah. All right. I mean, sure. I'll take an album with both not on there come on this oh you are you are goofing me come on dad i was ready i was ready oh you're ready for that that taylor x uh roddy rich collab that would be something else i mean it would be something else i mean at a it would be something else. I mean, at a certain point, you get big enough.

I would be like, yeah, where is that Roddy Ricch featuring Taylor? Very good. It's in the box, apparently. I mean, we thought Katy Perry and Migos was a stretch, but it happened. Bon appetit, baby. On a two-round board. Dude, that SNL performance was cringey. And then finally, Dan, Halo Infinite, man.

Oh, it's my turn, isn't it? I mean, look, it is, but I don't have Xbox, so I've not played Halo since maybe Halo 2. And I'm a needler boy. You know what I mean? I'm a needy boy. Yeah, I respect it. Thank God the needler's still that fire flame slapping.

So Xbox did a big release of a bunch of similar to Sony announcing they're doing their PS5 announcement, announcing a bunch of games. Xbox was announcing their next slate of games. And I got to be honest with you.

There's a couple in there that are cool. Halo Infinite is not one of them. Halo Infinite is the next chapter from Halo. It's an open world game. It's like a sandbox, like full on like that. Like big ass

sandbox kind of thing. And you know, there was an eight minute gameplay trailer. Some of the actual like Master Chief shooting the gun at enemies animations looked good. But like every backdrop, every scenario just looked trash. It looked bad. PS3

graphics. The one thing i want to say whoa you want to praise ps3 graphics it did not look good my friend i'm just throwing that out there one thing i will say i want to praise xbox for something at the end of this whole thing they said all of these games will also be available on xbox game pass which means that they're also coming out for pc now i just want to put on the record that that is the future the future is having every game be cross-platform because the whole console was i'm just just i want to stop you there you're putting that on the record that's on the record that's on i just want to make sure on direct for the record it's piss buck okay that's a throwback right there um for the record

is piss buck but no it's every game should be cross platform because at a certain point we don't it's more important that people are playing together like the whole console war with big ass air quotes is stupid and it's pointless it's going to be about the exclusives anyway no matter what and every multiplayer game is coming out on every platform it's not like call of duty is going to be like you know what now we're sony exclusive like it doesn't matter and all the huge huge huge titles end up coming out for both anyway gta 5 and 6 both be on they'll be on the ps5 and the xbox series x red dead redemption every rockstar game all those big ass titles they'll be for both so like what's what about titanfall though they're all apex legends now but yeah exactly it's it, you know, I just don't understand at this point

why you're not aiming to make every game cross-platform. And as a move from Xbox, I really, really appreciate that. So if we're taking away one thing, if we're taking away one thing from this presentation, it's that these games are going cross-platform and DJ Daniel puts his stamp of approval on that. And that's for the record.

And you could take that to the bank. All right. Well, thanks, Daniel, for stopping by, putting me on the game, and taking shots at Halo Infinite looking like some PS3 triznayee. Triznash. So, yeah. To everybody else, we'll catch y'all tomorrow with a new episode. And until then, you know, stay safe out there.

Do right by yourself. Do right by others. And, you know, don't do nothing about white supremacy either. Okay, later. Bye. Bye. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce.
