Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Zite of the Talkeries. It's courtesy of Jeke from the Discord. Literally right now. Thank you, Jeke. DJ Daniel just went into the Discord, said we need a short show title, and he came up with a bunch of fire.

He or she, they came up with a bunch of fire. That's number six for Geek, actually. Shout out, Geek. Legend. LeBron trying to get to six to match Michael Jordan. Trying to match Geek, actually. Geek already got there. Let's talk about what's trending.

We got Deadpool 3 trending. They have announced the Molyneux sisters will be penning the script. They write for Bob's Burgers. Were they right, Bob's Burgers? I don't know. They're a big part of that.

Bob's Burgers creative team. They'll be writing Deadpool 3. Exciting. I didn't see Deadpool 2. How was it? It was good. Fun watch. I like Deadpool as a character. And you know,

the clever funny guy is also superhero. There's some thumbs up there, I feel like. I don't know. I do have a tough time following the story because I keep just shouting out, can he say that uh out loud and it's i find it distracting and so do the people in the theater with me but uh any money any maniacs uh animaniacs is trending because there is new animaniacs they're back. They're back, baby. They're back. They got the bag.

And they're on Hulu, baby. Yeah. Is Steven Spielberg still connected to that? I think so. He's in the trailer. Unless that's just like a voice actor, which is totally possible. But they portray Steven Spielberg

and you hear someone who sounds like him say, yep, we're back on Hulu. Steve. Steve was saying the funniest thing the other day what was he saying no uh so anyways animaniacs we'll have to watch that uh and uh as we will soon find out actually we can just go right to it uh nielsen ratings is the thing i didn't realize nielsen was doing uh ratings for streaming content. And all of the top 10 most streamed shows or movies are on Netflix, basically.

Netflix dominates. So I did not realize how much more popular Netflix was than Hulu or Amazon Prime. Every once in a while, like Mulan cracked the top 10 earlier this year and borat cracked the top 10 a couple weeks ago but for now it's just top to bottom netflix top to bottom the flicks i mean you know the flicks beat that hard to beat that built-in audience yes uh emily in paris is a mainstay now in the top 10

queen's gambit cracked the top 10 um did you watch queen's gambit i've watched i'm getting through it right now and i'm enjoying it yeah yeah it's solid it's like it feels like it would be oscar bait like totally totally it's like a sports movie about chess it's like a sports movie for npr people who vote on who vote in the academy uh but then there's a big drug addiction story i will say uh if you are in recovery especially if you're in early recovery it's a little triggering like how the the drug use is like she kind of for a period is like better at her craft when she's uh taking tranquilizers uh which i don't know how that works necessarily but um so it can be it was a little bit uh triggering for for me um i get that but other other revelations just going back through like the rankings uh the office have you heard about this show no uh i'm not sure it's still the number two

most streamed show today like now as of yeah i mean i guess fuck so hard with that show um gray's anatomy is in the top 10 criminal minds. A lot of the shows that were made for network TV are very popular when you can just stream them one after another. I mean, yeah, they're easy. I've just completely devoured every

episode of Supermarket Sweep. Might not be in the top 10, but I'm eating it up, baby. Yeah, gobbling it up like groceries. Like groceries. Family Feud, still popular in the TV section. Love it. Great show. Family Feud and Family Feud

Celebrity. Steve Harvey, not problematic. Los Angeles. The Voice, Young Sheldon. Do you watch any of those shows? No. Not at all. What about you any of those shows? No, not at all. What about you? You watch them? No. There you go.

I don't know why I acted like that was an insult that you would accuse me of watching. 60 Minutes, still shockingly popular at number two overall and number one for non-sports shows by a lot. So anyways, we now have a new thing to check on trending seriously and we have about a million short show titles from now on so we're all yeah all good we are so record these one after another um rick scott is trending because he uh he's the Florida senator who looks like a snake. Oh, right.

And he tested positive for COVID-19. No. I know. I said anyone but Rick Scott. Anyways, because he's an evil white, we know that he's going to be okay. Because the evil whites that that is the one group that seems to do really well with covid yeah evil evil white people who are politicians so i guess i guess concentrated bigotry is really the cure for coronavirus

exactly uh brian kemp uh is trending because uh people were confused he called a press conference for uh this afternoon friday afternoon people are like oh what kind of wild shit is he going to be saying the secretary of state certified the election results biden won by tens of thousands of votes uh but he did yeah did you hear about that i i didn't yeah so biden won the election oh my gosh for real he did yeah i know i know you you've taken all of your information through uh rudy giuliani press conferences yeah pretty much and i never listened to this show so like apparently kemp is going to agree with that certification. He's going to acknowledge that Trump lost Georgia, which is news because we live in a very dark timeline

where just having people do the barest of bare minimums with regards to the truth is great. Unprecedented. Makes them a hero in the media narrative because we just expect the absolute worst from Republicans. Cool.

So cool. So cool. So cool. I know I sound a little unhinged and that's because I am. And finally, NBA shit is trending. Oh yeah, baby. Yeah.

And Tampa Bay Raptors, the Toronto Raptors, will be playing their games in Tampa because Toronto has the good sense to not allow NBA games to happen there. Smart. I completely agree with that. I feel like Raptors like that makes more sense as a team

name to be in Tampa like it's like early 90s aesthetic. Sure. Tampa Bay Raptors sounds good. Yeah. Tampa Bay Raptors like fits. I'll also say it's not a hard leap rolling off the tongue wise from Toronto

to Tampa. So like it's not like it's not going from Toronto Raptors to Green Bay Raptors. Yeah. Although I wish it was. Oh, how tight would that be? Packers and Raptors in the same building? Bam! In the same building. Yeah, you know, they play on the field. They play outdoors.

Yeah, they pass. Yeah yeah the lambo leap um the uh these days yeah uh clay thompson is is trending uh because of the depressing news that he blew out his achilles um that's the second the second time that one of the best golden state warriors from that kind of dynastic run that they had uh had a leg injury came back too soon and because of like compensating uh snapped their achilles which is so i think i i'm speculating that's what happened but he he was recovering from a knee injury right and uh while working out snapped his achilles which they say that if you hurt you know that that can be a injury that you get while compensating for other injuries it's just such a shame to see someone so talented so you know be be you know not able to participate you know regardless of regardless of team or alliance or anything like that it's

just such a shame to see that kind of athleticism sidelined again by such an unfortunate injury such a great shooter just like incredible shooter when he is on it is one of the it's almost uncanny to watch him shoot because it always like goes in the direct center of the like it's he like switches shots in a way that like it like the net barely moves it's just wild um yeah he seems he occasionally will tap into a version of being in the zone that feels superhuman when you see it. So yeah, it is a damn shame. Shout out to Golden State fans. Shout out to Clay. Amen.

I know Clay's a big fan. I've submitted a number of short show titles. We'll get to yours eventually. Yeah, but they're always bad. They're always bad. You need to get in the zone on those short show titles. Yeah. No Johnny Davis and no Jeke.

So step up. Yeah, exactly. Anyways, that is what is trending this Friday. That's going to do it for the week, man. gonna do it for the week man we made it through the week Miles getting rested up Miles will be back on Monday afternoon so until then

be kind to each other be kind to yourselves wear a mask wash your hands stay inside don't do nothing about white supremacy we'll talk to you all on Monday bye yourselves, wear a mask, wash your hands, stay inside. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll talk to you all on Monday. Bye. What was that? That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. Can Kay trust her sister, or is history repeating itself? There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.
