It's a vibe. I'm Jack. That's Miles. This is what's trending. And I'm five years old.

Yes. We are heading into the debates. Yes. I am less, I don't know. I had been dreading this for a long time, and it's not killing me necessarily. I'm all right. It's just like whatever. are you feeling miles i don't care to be honest i mean like uh i don't i don't know what happens here that does much of anything like i feel like there there's more potential for biden to lose support than trump uh over anything because know, there's no the people who are still attached to the Trump campaign.

Like they're like they're ready. They're ready for the big ride into the fire no matter what to maintain whatever de facto forms of oppression exists still, which is many of them without even knowing their black sweatsuits and Nikes. Yeah. And they're ready for the big ride up to the comet. Ready for the big ride up to the comet ready for the big ride baby like do you remember that in um doesn't nicholas cage say that in face off there's a moment where nick

cage is like i'm ready for the and it's like really uh big trump 2020 energy uh from those people so yeah i mean part of me is just waiting to see what happens what doesn't happen i will be playing a drinking game to make our recap of the debate for tomorrow's episode a little more interesting or sad i don't know we'll see i'm willing to embrace it where are you gonna tweet out the where people i will tweet it out if you see me tweeting it out already it's the washingtonian has a drinking game that seemed fair in terms of poking fun at both people like saying like, like, if Trump says you, Georgina, or if Biden tells a story about an average Joe or claims he's going to end systemic racism without an explanation, we'll be drinking. So fair to both parties, unfair to your liver.

Yeah, but I haven't been, you know, I've been prepping, you know what I mean? A.K.A. just not had many opportunities to drink socially. So I think I'm in good shape to take on the national misery through imbibing. Yeah. All right. Let's get into some of the trends, which at least the first one has to do with debate prep because the right is going full in on, you know, looking in the mirror and then accusing the other side of what's going on. Dementia is trending. Yeah.

Rudy Giuliani just just came out being like, yo, Joe Biden got dementia. just came out being like yo joe biden got dementia uh and even on again the hosts on fox and friends were like oh fuck they were so visibly none of us are doctors well yeah they're like i've talked to doctors i've talked to three doctors yeah so um this is what he says the man has dementia there's no doubt about it and he said what his doctor's line is i've had them look at a hundred different tapes of his five years ago and today and i'm like okay if you want to do this you then then we're looking at a debate with where both people got dementia so congrats america we did it uh we we were so unwilling to embrace candidates that maybe would do things that were we're going d versus, dementia versus dementia.

But yeah, I'm curious if this is what is obviously, if Rudy Giuliani's screaming it, that means that's part of the Russian campaign of things to do. You got Kelly Loeffler, the senator from Georgia, who's just an absolute Wall Street goon and ghoul, is just basically saying, like, we got to know if he can, he's mentally unfit. He needs to take a drug test um you know fucking the old old old white house doctor ronnie jackson's even taking shots is he really yes dr feelgood dude he said he tweeted out joe biden lacks the mental

acuity to be our commander in chief and it's very telling that he's flat out refusing to uh to release the results of a pre-debate drug test this is where they want this is clearly what russia's jackson wasn't he a holdover from the obama era uh yeah wow no i think was it the guy before let me see actually he's the one to call dr feel good yes he served from 2013 to 2018. So in my experience, a lot of the like druggiest people are the ones who are like, that guy's definitely on drugs, like always think everybody else is like doing drugs. It's just interesting that they have they are specifically accusing Biden of using Adderall, they are specifically accusing Biden of using Adderall,

which is the very drug that everybody thinks Trump has been using, that his medical records show he was once prescribed, that, you know, makes sense that he's all sniffly. And the people who, with knowledge of behind the scenes, are like, yeah, he's always just pounding rails of Adderall. They're like, yeah, okay, we'll both do a piss test, except President Trump will do his in the Olympic Village in Sochi in Russia. That's right.

It's like, whoa, hold on. What's going on with his pee-pee? Look, if they're going to do it, we got to watch them pee-pee. Yes. I would not want that job. This is where we're at. I mean, I think, which is so funny that they're just like,

check the pee, guys. It always becomes a piss-centric election somehow, whether it's piss tapes or fucking piss tests. Oh, boy. I mean, maybe that's just us. Maybe we're just piss hungry. Yeah, piss thirsty, whatever it is. Yeah. I eat mine, but yeah, whatever it is. Okay. Oh, that's why you freeze it is yeah i i eat mine but yeah whatever it is okay oh that's why you freeze it so you can exactly exactly what do we do i don't know man this is uh not good not good uh eric trump is trending yes he said something that made it seem like he might be coming out of the closet uh i'm assuming he wasn't because he's not that made it seem like he might be coming out of the closet.

I'm assuming he wasn't because he's not that cool. It's hard to know what may have been going on. I mean, he was on Fox and Friends as well. He's talking about they're going over who a secret Trump voter might be and are there people we don't realize are supporting Trump, dot, dot, dot, this, that, and the other. Then they get to the LGBTQ community. And this is what Eric Trump has to say.

And there are a lot of people that might be voting for your dad that aren't admitting it. And it was Brett Stevens, who's been a critic of your dad, who wrote the editorial. So are you counting on this person, on the secret voter?

Ainsley, that person's there. I'm telling you, i see it every day the lgbt community they are incredible and you should see how they've come out in in full force for my father every single day i'm part of that community and we love the man and thank you for so he's part so again i don't know if he if he knows what he said but i don't think so i don't think he does i don't imagine that that's how eric trump uh just stealthily comes out but it was just a weird thing where people like does he know does he even know what he's saying in terms of what that means like what do you because i don't know i mean if he said like you know the black community they're incredible and you should see how they come

out in full force for my father every single day i'm part of that community i don't know if he would be saying that but maybe it's easier because he's like well i'm not black so i can't say that but maybe lg maybe they're if i say this they think i'm an ally it's whatever yeah i think he's probably just saying he's an ally or he's part of the community that's enthusiastic for his father um and uh who cares? Yeah. Like Eric Trump. Oh, man. Why? Just because he's the forgotten one? Yeah, exactly.

I'm team Don. Tax crooks. Donnie, baby. Don't you. Bad Bunny Crocs are trending. What are these? What's going on? Bad Bunny, man. Okay.

I know Bad Bunny. I know Crocs. What they do together so they got a fucking collab that destroyed the internet uh they were you know everyone was like okay we know what's coming out there's a glow-in-the-dark clog coming out with these two uh this shit just sold out basically immediately um you know crocs have been doing you doing a lot of collabs and things like that. So this is a, they're like kind of, I don't know. It's interesting to see them sort of reassert themselves

with these interesting collaborations by being like, okay, we're going to team up with Bad Bunny. And I already know this shit's going to blow. So that's what, I guess that's, you know, the collaboration train continues. Would you buy these if you were quick enough to have gotten them before they all sold out? I mean, like, they're just Crocs that have, like, little charms on them. Like, that has, like, his logo and things like that.

And then they glow in the dark. I'm not like that. Look, if I get a Croc, it's not for the hype. You know what I mean? I'm in a Croc because that shit is, like, just vacation feet right um so yeah but yeah sure why not i mean i don't have a problem rocking those but i'm definitely look i didn't line up i won't be getting them resale uh and i don't think i'll be getting the reps either you don't think you're gonna get the reps no that is either you know that's how the secondary you are uh moving in on you you're

doing research into that market yeah rep fam you know what i how the secondary you are uh moving in on you you're doing research into that market yeah rep fam you know i mean if you're out there let them know joe rogan spotify employees story have you seen this have you heard about this um so the right is all up in arms about woke spotify employees um who are demanding that spotify allow them to edit joe rogan's podcasts and have editorial control over it and this is how you know it's bullshit include trigger warnings um in joe rogan's podcast so you know that this is like a made up right wing thing because they're uh their version of people on the left is like we just want trigger warnings and to be able to you know have our voice heard and just like bullshit uh i don't know like

buzzwords that they retained without understanding any right i mean rather than actually giving a trigger like those are very important uh when you're considering your audience and things like that but yeah when it's deployed so like lazily and be like yeah and that's what they're gonna do and then they're gonna like make him like read a barack obama quote at the end of every show like it's all you know this is this is how it starts man yeah but at the same time like you know i can see how people don't want to be under the same banner as people like that. But I guess all of this is very interesting. The thing they're upset about is that Spotify didn't want his Milo Yiannopoulos episodes up on their platform.

And some of the other ones where he interviewed straight-up white supremacists, like terrorists. And then he also was asked to apologize and issued an apology for claiming that left-wing activists in Antifa were setting fires in Oregon. So that's the thing where they're like, God, Rogan's been neutered, bro. It cut his balls off, dog. It took his liar balls away. Because he was spreading one of the most damaging myths that was being perpetrated. Yeah, that led to...

At a time of violence. Yes. It's massive. Shocking that he decided he needed to apologize and uh withdraw that statement um anyways i mean i don't know if you saw antifa they're the ones that are chipping away at the glaciers to make the sea levels rise they're just going down there george soros is putting them on a big old arctic explorer boat just being, hey, hop off into these Arctic waters in your torn black jeans.

They got hair dryers. All of them up there with hair dryers. Jesus. Melting it away. Because that was another thing. I feel like Leslie Stahl was pressing the president about. I heard a clip recently

and he was just like, you don't know why that ice is falling in there and if it's actually contributing to the waters rising. Yeah. Never mind. Seriously. All mind. Seriously. Alright, Miles. That is gonna do it
