All right, Myles, let's talk about what's trending. What's trending? Steven Spielberg's name is trending. I thought, okay, what's going on? Apparently, this is because his daughter, Michaela, who is 23, this is Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw's daughter, one of them,

she has decided to start a career in sex work and had been saying that she's trying to get a sex worker license in Tennessee and has a goal of working in a strip club and has told people online what she's about she says i just launched my self-produced adult entertainment career safe sane consensual is the goal y'all my body my life my income my choice i owe not a single person my autonomy or virtue just because of a name okay do you mich you, Michaela Spielberg. Yeah. I thought, I was hoping she, if I'm, you know,

I know she's saying it doesn't matter like about my name or whatever, but maybe you could be the Spielberg of adult films. Yeah, that would be something to aspire to. So she is interested in being a performer and not a director at this juncture. But you know how it is. Yeah. You know, you get in front of the camera a little bit,

you end up behind it at some point. That's what they say. You know? Yeah. That's how I started. But yeah, she has, oh, her account is private. Her Instagram? 57,000 followers.

57,000 and she's got a private account? Yeah. That's not bad. Vandal underscore princess. I mean, I wonder what the family has to think. We don't have a comment from the Spielberg family. Right. OK Magazine is reporting,

Steven Spielberg reportedly embarrassed by daughter. Oh, come on, bro. Let her live. Yeah, exactly. And honestly, I mean, with the amount of consumption there there's an adult film she might make bigger films than you i know about that for real uh what else is trending uh national pancake day yeah trending because it's national pancake day well and i hob not i hob they got rid of the

Oh, man. Doesn't he call him short stack at some point? Or am I just making that up? Short round is what Jonathan Kee Kwan, they would call him. I'm sure he probably did. That was my first Asian role model in media.

Jonathan Kee Kwan. Also, again, I always say this. I'm only half Asian. Part of me was like, damn, I wish maybe he's half black or something. Years later, my dad took a photo with him. Oh, really? And it's one of my most cherished things. I brought it to school.

Wow. I was like, yo, my dad met Jonathan Kikwong. Check this shit out, losers. And they're like, what the hell? Okay. Okay, man. I'm like, that's my dad and him. It's fucking data.

All right, forget it. Miles, it's senior year of high school man it's like based on the time stamp on this photo this is from 93 um yeah i so the way i feel about these free giveaway things is they're generally too good to be true like when you get there there's gonna be a long wait or something like sure sure sure like with uh marvelous ms mazel gas giveaway well that was different in la when you're telling people it's 1960s pricing on gasoline yeah when there's this city too like in la there are so many people who like are commuting uh yeah i mean people go pretty wild

for that yeah but the pancakes you know we'll see what happens yeah I guess pancakes don't power most cars no just that one you're working on very diligently I do want to just shout out we're talking about this on tomorrow's story or on tomorrow's full episode

but Dick Pound is trending right and that's Michaela Spielberg's co-star? No it's not it's amazing that he's not and that's Michaela Spielberg's co-star? No, it's not. I know. It's amazing that he's not related to the Michaela Spielberg story. He is the longest running IOC member, and he's trending because he made the statement about potentially canceling the Olympics, but we talked about that. Dick Pound?

Dick Pound? What do you consider fun? Bachelor 2020 is trending. Just The Bachelor had a big episode last night. Super producer Anna Hosnia was watching it when I walked into her hotel room to record this episode. Screaming. We're like, what's that? What's that mean?

Who's that? There was a lot. So the front runner told The Bachelor she was saving herself for marriage and was not interested in him if he decided to sleep with the other girls but it's that point in the show where inevitably it's the fuck episode yeah it's the fuck episode and she was the third one so he had already fucked yeah he as super producer anna hosnia put it he's king fuck he's bachelor fuck guy he's king fuck the third he fucked in a wind, and that was like a big thing. Oh, the last time?

Yeah, the last when he was a contestant. Right, right, right. So, yeah, it's not looking good for him and her. But then there was the scenes from next, which is the finale, and it showed his mom, and she is doing the absolute. The way this woman was crying, I thought she had a terminal illness in which her dying wish was to see her son be married.

And she's there for the wedding. That's what it felt like. She was like, go find her, Peter. Don't let her go. Bring her back home to us. Just openly weeping. She's just so caught up in the drama and like in the character she knows she's playing on reality tv it's you actually love to see it oh you love to see it

it's one of the great performances uh by a reality contestant who it should by all there's no stakes has no stakes no stakes at all is not one of the contestants, just is like, this is my moment, motherfucker. She's like, oh, you want me to get emotional? Peter, you will not ruin this for me. Can you imagine? Oh, the behind the rose of this is, she was putting it up to it the whole time, living vicariously through him. Yeah.

And also, just Fat Tuesday is trending, because it's Fat Tuesday. It's Fat Tuesday. That means that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, meaning the beginning of Lent. Yeah. Meaning I better see some ash crosses on those foreheads, or you better get right with God. I find it amazing when someone I know just rolls in with the ash on their forehead.

Yeah, because I used to get it going to Lutheran and Catholic school. That was part of it. I remember, yo, they would even mark the kids who were not Christian. Yeah. But at the time, we were too young to be like...

Like, for today, you won't go to hell. Yeah, they're like, isn't your family Hindu? They're like, I don't know. We're all in line. We've got to get in line. I just got in line because you were in line. And also, sometimes you would get mad if the priest gave you the janky cross.

Sometimes people look like they just have a fucking thumbprint on their forehead. Yeah. I mean, I get it. You're getting through a lot of foreheads to get that cross on yeah but work on your tack on your technique man yeah yeah shout out to uh the food court at the grove they had some like dope mardi gras shit going on oh i thought they were giving out there was there was a themed booth where the guy dressed up as a priest was giving out ash foreheads no but they had like uh one of those walking new orleans like jazz band things oh a second line

yeah it was fucking dope uh my boys and i followed them around with your jet you had umbrellas too suspicious yeah exactly were they showing out uh-huh when was last time you gave something up for lent like when I knew that I should stop drinking. But I didn't want to fully stop drinking, so I gave it up for Lent. Oh, interesting. I used to do that with weed. I'm like, yeah, man, I can do 40 days.

For people who don't know, Lent is this period in the build-up to Easter where Jesus Christ was risen after being crucified. Crossified is when you go up against Skip to my loo and one mixtape game. Isn't Lent in the lead up when he goes into the desert and is tempted for 40 days, but doesn't eat anything for 40 days? I'm just getting to the part where, look. You're getting to the money shot.

Basically saying, look, 40 days you're giving some shit up until Easter, and then you go whole hog. And that's why the Fat Tuesday is like, yo, get it in now. Because on Wednesday, it's Maundy Tuesday Tuesday I believe is the official name yeah because come Wednesday bro put the blunts away and I used to convince myself like I don't I was doing a like a spiritual trade I'm like dear god I do not believe in but I've been sort of like inoculated with these messages from an early age I will put the blunt down if you make sure I don't have to study for these tests I'm about to take and give me a passing grade. It was not really well thought out.

I somehow would do it. When the blunt's away, the bongs will play. Dude, when the blunt's away, the grades are in A. That's what they said. That's what the shittiest dare cop says to people. Minneapolis, we'll see you in a couple hours, everyone else. Have a great night. We'll be back tomorrow morning bye
