On the disc.
Eight, it's uh, it's been a week out from Christmas. Uh and one week to go. If you haven't bought your mother flowers. Uh no, it's yeah, it's one week out and also one week out from Honkah. I was just saying, I feel like Honkah didn't hasn't happened yet. I didn't notice Honkkah this year. And that's because, uh, Honkkah's first night is on Christmas.
Yep, yep.
So that's a interesting timing. Hey, so that's something I mean that probably like puts Honkikah in a good kind of pole position to be. You know, people, after Christmas is over, you're still getting present.
Boom that night. You're like, all right, all right.
Keep them going.
Christmas is a mere appetizer for Trendy Nights. Anyways.
My name's Jack not over there, Well, that's my boy, Miles mad Dog.
We are Miless feeling battle. Are thrilled to have him back in the world of a living Yeah.
I did Battle with Hades and back all right.
Arm review time.
Usually we do a whole episode doing Year and Review and review where we review the year and review stuff. But this time our year end story story of the Year tournament kind of got away from us, so that ended up being three episodes of the show.
So you got that coming to you. It's a lot of fun.
No Year in Review and Review, but we can do that right now on the trending episode, because Google has released their a Year in Search for twenty twenty four where they tell you some of the some of the top trending things.
This is weird miles.
Number two coming in ahead of the one spot ahead of the Olympics is excessive heat. Oh what do you think that about? That's all about?
Is that like somebody do with Jimmy Butler and the stuff that's going on?
Oh yeah, yeah Miami, Yeah, because like the Miami heat like are always like heat culture and stuff a bit excessive guys.
Yeah, back off.
Wow, that's yeah, yeah, forecasting of things to come so hot there.
Yeah, weirdly like doesn't feel like it gets a ton of coverage in the mainstream media.
But well it's just like the healthcare thing, right, It's like, yeah, so many outlets they take money from the climate changers that they're like, hey man, just kind of talk about some other shit, right, don't make it hot for us even though we're making it literally hot for everyone else. Yeah, yeah, I mean not too surprising.
But there's a list of like celebrities who don't you know, pass people who passed. And I think I realized, like at the time James Earl Jones passed and that Maggie Smith passed, but it didn't fully register until I saw it a second time.
On this list, so it didn't hit you. Yeah, and now it has hit me that Maggie Smith is passed, and I'm.
Like, damn, that's from Harry Potter. Harry Pottery, and I'm sure probably many other things because at her age she probably accomplished many other things outside of just being in Harry Potter.
But okay, yeah, and then so this is something I wanted to raise see if you have experienced this as well. The movies, the top searched movies, Like, the list is pretty straightforward and what you would expect inside out to The biggest movie of the year was number one, Dead Pull the Wolverine. Number two. I'm gonna skip number three because that's the one. My questions about just Beetlejuice, Doom Part two.
It ends with us.
Oppenheimer is still hanging around Kung Fu Panda four, which that one totally passed me by Alien Romulus Terrifier three. These are all movies that came out this year kind of made a splash. Didn't really surprise me except Oppenheimer, but that was a massive movie that I expected to
have staying power from last year. But I didn't expect number three ahead of all those movies except for Deadpool and Wolverine and Inside Out to is Saltburn, Yes, which was a film that, like I don't know it had registered to me as a movie that a lot of people towards the end of last year were like this movie's wild but also.
Like very bad.
And then recently I heard somebody raise it in the context of like movies that they couldn't believe their friend had missed, and like, oh my god, like you have to watch that now, like that movies so wild, Like I'm not gonna tell you anything about it, but like you have to go watch Saltburn.
The Internet. I haven't seen Saltburn because the Internet already told me it's about cummy bathwater.
It's not only about cummy bathwater miles and now here's where I have to step in and no, it's.
Defend the honor and it's murder on the dance floor.
Yeah, that part is fun. It has some like wild fun moments. It definitely like sticks with you like a good movie would, but then it also has some like wild embarrassing swings and misses. So like, I don't know, it's just it's interesting that this is kind of moving into this space as like a neo classic like that. Everybody's just like yeah, man, like fucking Saltburn is a must watch.
It also, but it felt like for the timing of the movie, it became one of those things that like blew up during Christmas New Year's Break.
Like last year, and so it's just hanging around.
Reac because I remember like when we started the year, it was all I revised talking about Sellburn and everybody you see Selburn aperator.
Maybe it was just a timing thing.
Yeah, for me, it's a timing thing, like it had an intense amount of interest right at the tail end of the year and beginning of the year, and then I remember early into the year we were talking about like the guy who owned the Saltburn House and how he's like, there's too many blasted tourists trying to take pictures of my bath water.
Yeah yeah, And that was the one thing that they actually took from the house. They were like, they, Okay, we gotta use this guy's comming bath wall. WHOA can we write a scene in it where somebody drinks the comming bathwater.
It's just very odd like so to me, that's what it's just. It was just like one of those ends of the year phenomenons that Goose is the charts man.
That's oh yeah, Oh so you're saying it's a Goose charts the charts.
Yeah.
Some top actors Kat Williams number one, I feel like that club. Yeah, like not necessarily for his acting work, although he is really good and like a number of things I've seen him.
Then I wonder, though, it's probably also doubled up because there are people who know who Kat Williams is, and then other people like who is this Cat Williams will that everyone is talking about? And what is he saying about the entertainment industry?
Was that the first episode of Atlanta with the Alligator and Kat Williams? I think so yeah, it was like one of their but he's really good in that. Yeah, Adam Brody number three. People are finding out about Adam bro A new generation is discovering Adam Brody thanks to nobody wants this.
Any other names on the actor's list, Kiaren Colkin, Terrence Howard. So it's like a lot of people.
I feel like there's some people mixed in who are like, yeah, they were like really.
What was Howard doing?
I think there's toward people are just finding out about Terryology and being like, oh, everything I knew was wrong.
You know, I got to look at what this trend is about, like when was it hitting? When was he getting Oh it was all around May of this year.
I think that's when Terryology started going by.
That when he went back on Rogan maybe.
Maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, okay, yeah, I think this is right around the when people were the mainstreaming of Tereology. I think happened.
Yeah.
Good for him, though, I wills to see it. I feel so bad for his doubters though, because he'll be like, were you the number five searched at right? Yeah, on Google's trends because of how you were subverting modern mathematics. I'm like, couldn't be me.
I'll tell you what couldn't be me? Because I've believed in him from day one. Plus one equals three? Okay, wow, is that what it is? Equals?
I actually don't know, doesn't matter, done, matter, doesn't matter. One times one equals too.
Maybe times one equals too.
Baby, that's true and that is true, and that's fat then of course. Okay, so those are the Google any anything else jump out of you from Google the year in search?
No, I mean, it's all just like I mean, it always gives us a good idea of like everything that popped in easy to digest top ten form, that's for sure, And that's kind of it. I'm just trying to think. I mean, there's plenty like when you go to global settings, then I'm like, oh, I don't know who this actor. I don't know who this song is. Yea, but not like US number one song, okay globally?
Yeah, it makes like us number one globally.
Yeah.
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be come back with the porn equivalent of We will be come back with the porn equivalent of that, which is the porn Hub Year in Review of twenty twenty four, and we'll try and get into some news as well.
We'll be right back.
And we're back, We're back, and so yeah, porn Hub, not to be outdone by Google, their main competitor, does like a year in search, you know, just running the numbers, presenting them in fun little infographic charts. The two that jumped out to me is as always, the United States top relative searches by state, where you get to see like that searching.
Their relatives exactly, which might actually kind of be true. Here look at some of these.
There there are a bunch that are great out that are probably can just assume is like stepsister, step brothers, step relative of all sorts. So just some fun things too. You know, I don't know if anything jumped out to you at you uh, I have to shout out New Jersey Number one is Iranian. I'm wondering, like, so maybe this shed some light on the drone panic and like what was actually going on with them because.
The number, Yeah, yeah, there's an there's an Iranian mother ship off the coast.
Yeah, there's a Jersey politician who was like, Iran is coming for New Jersey. So maybe they're just like working through some like sexual stuff they have gone on with Iran.
Yeah. Also, yeah, I one thing that is interesting me shout out Florida for like a afecting Spanish. It's not like it's not like hot Cuban. It's yeah, all right, so right they already know, already knows actual Cuban people searching for that, shout out South Dakota. Y'all have no flavor Dakota is the best that no my flavor seasoning at all? What your South Dakota's number one search term is drum roll bed but.
Jack hot babes, like all the other ones are like these, Well there's one other state that kind of is in the running with this, but like there's like friend's mom lesbian.
Strap on California. Washington is like milking. You know, there's all sorts of advanced stuff.
You see.
Hawaii's what is haw Wahoo who That's one of.
The like am I missing something? Oh?
Yeah, man, you got to check out the people from Owahu.
Think at Freaky Alaska and ol Dildo, South Dakota hot babes.
Hot babes, and also Iowa also pretty tame work.
Trip right exactly. Minnesota futa hene wow, Wow, Okay, yeah, Missouri is Grandma and Missouri just I don't know what to do with you.
Yeah, it's interesting. I didn't realize. Oh, and then such a relationship to between New Jersey and New York. While New Jersey is Iranian, New York's is Turkish.
Turkish all Eric Adams Yeah, yeah, and then I do just have to shout out Pennsylvania also like in the same family in South Dakota naked women, yo, naked women.
There's no way wild. This is clearly like people who are just starting to use the Internet and trying to summon things. Yeah, was there like a baby boom naked women years.
Ago in Pennsylvania or something? Did they just get the Internet and then they're just the other thing. To put this in a global context of the top twenty countries by traffic to porn hub, and the United States is so far ahead of everybody else, like.
Just it's like dwarfs the.
I'm wondering, like again, if there's a bias because porn hub is an American thing, that naturally the audience is going to be mostly American. But again, I don't I need people from other in well, who's in second is it France?
Frances and second Okay, So like if it was, it was just like a regional is it, you know, like then you'd assume the UK or like you know, Ireland or something. But yeah, Pornhub thinks of itself as a global brand, and it's interesting that the United States is still that far out front baby killing.
It to cry for help or better hot women videos.
Yeah, hot babes, Hot babes, Dude.
That used to be one of the phone sex lines we used to We used to call from a payphone at our school just to hear the intro. One eight hundred Hot Babes was like a big babe. No, there was one eight hundred Hot Babes.
South it is still the year nineteen eighty seven in South Dakota. Like North Dakota is lesbian strap on South Dakota. You cross the border to South Dakota and it's just dudes and mullets being like, hey man, you got any hot babes I could look at.
That's a difference between Doug Burghum and our our homegirl from South Dakota. Miss dog Murker aka.
Dogs is actually like a really good last name.
Christy Dogmurker dog Murker.
Yeah, Times person of the Year is Donald Trump. Enough to time is a garbage publication. Also, just in a slightly related story, Floridians whose taste in pornography we just we're complimenting, have less than two weeks to jack off to porn hub because beginning on January first, porn Hub is withdrawing from the Sunshine State. Some may even say they're pulling out of the Sunshine State in their headlines,
and yeah they have. Porn Hubb is pulling out. According to Gizmoto of Florida, if you go to the website right now in Florida, you get a countdown warning. And I think this already happened in Utah. This is over a planned law that would require websites to use an age verification system or be fined.
And the methods for the age verification are pretty.
Intrusive, maybe intrusive necessary And yeah, like it involves you scanning your fucking ID face and an ID your government idea.
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, yeah, anyway, that's this is Project twenty twenty five happening in little doses everybody.
Yeah, so that's cool. Just like anytime you want to go to porn hubb. Just imagine Donald Trump looking over your shoulder. Yeah, he wouldn't care. Actually, don't don't imagine him. Imagine jd Vance because like Trump would be like, oh yeah, like that one, look up some hot babes.
Isn't like a meme about like like warning Christian people like Christ like being right next to you and you're on the internet kind of shit.
Yeah, Well, there's the one where Christ puts his arm out for the junkie, so he's yeah, because he's a greedy, a greedy junkie. He's put his arm so the heroin user is injecting Christ's arm instead of their own. I've never seen the one where he puts his arm out while the while the Christian is viewing pornography so that he has to like jack the Christian off. I'm just saying like that that would be the equivalent of the drug using pope.
I think I just see just Jesus shedding a single tear, like, wow, you're hurting Jesus. But anyway, it's a sin. Either way, I don't be cotton sin. And also don't google what a VPN is, Okay, except because that's the way around it.
This is like a nice little weather balloon for any sort of social media bands. Although I don't know.
I will say, like a lot of people are pointing out that, like people are going to get around this band, it's going to send them to other websites that aren't compliant that might have like darker, more illegal shit on them, And.
Yeah, that's definitely true.
I will say, like, I don't know that people are going to be willing to break the law to go on Facebook as much as they'd be willing to break the law to get pornography, sure, which she is like a time honored tradition of like, you know, twelve year old boys shoplifting.
So like, yes, I don't know.
Yeah, you can't stop it, but hey, you can try and vilify anything remotely resembling sexual liberation, as you know, one dimension of your all out attack on progress.
That's right.
And we have an update on a story that I think we talked about right.
On the referenced it.
Yeah, black kitchen utensils, Yes, exactly. The story was that they were like melted down electronics, Is that?
Yeah? Right, whole household electronics melted down and then reincorporated in these plastic kitchen utensils. But here's the thing. Those melted down household electronics also contained flame retarding chemicals, and so as a result, some of those toxic chemicals were now being part of these black kitchen utensils that, like everybody knows. I think this is like the set of plastic utensils for kitchen you've been using since I don't know, I've I've had my shit since like two thousand and six,
because that's just how ubiquitous they are. But here's the thing. The fucking nerds behind that study did a major math goof so specifically in this well, I'll let Wired magazine explain. Quote, the utensil would transfer thirty four seven hundred nanograms of the contaminant a day based on regular use while cooking and serving hot food. So they're saying that's about what
you would get out of these chemicals. The EPA safe level for these chemicals is seven thousand nanograms per kilogram of body weight per day, and the authors used a sixty kilogram benchmark as the adult weight about one hundred and thirty two pounds. So what they did was, they said they basically fucked up and did again all at the EPA s plan. So the safe EPA limit would be seven thousand, because that's how many nanograms per kilogram you're allowed a day by sixty, yielding four hundred twenty
thousand nanograms per day. If we're going by the EPA's math, that's what is like normal that you could get. That number is actually twelve times more than the estimated exposure of thirty four thousand, seven hundred nanograms per day. The reason they were raising alarms is because the people in the study only multiplied seven thousand by six rather than sixty, so they got to forty two thousand in nanograms. And they're like, oh shit, we didn't add to zero.
All right, for like messing this up and like, you know, getting people alarmed needlessly when there are so many better things to get alarmed about. But I'm also so mad at them for messing this up and making us have to like do the homework to try and understand what that shit just was. All the nanogram math, Like that's for you fucking guys to worry about.
When reached for a quote, the author of the study plainly said, Hey, why the fuck am I on trial? But the sitting is, you know, they're like whoops, we will be amending the study immediately. I mean, it is definitely worth studying how we are downstream of these fucked up chemicals and how somehow melted down house electronics or things we rub our food on, and shit, is.
This like black plastic like disposable forks and knives and spoons or these.
Are those like you know those spatulum the fucking the spaghetti fucking thing, all that stuff you know, like you buy in a set like ye fucking target, like when you're getting going into you move out of the house. So but the other thing, another sort of eye catching part of the study basically suggested that contamination isn't that
common of an occurrence. But then they're like, it goes on to say, the study examine two hundred three black plastic household products, including one hundred and nine kitchen utensils, thirty six toys, thirty hair accessories, in twenty eight food service where products of those two hundred three products, only twenty ten percent had any bromine containing compounds at levels that might indicate contamination from bromine based flame retardants like
BD two oh nine, which is the specific ones you're like, oh, Okay, so but it's still bad. And I'm like, well, I agree, yeah, that's still bad.
But you had one. You had be getting bad enough, guys.
Yeah, but I still again, what they're saying still does have validity to it that because it's coming from an organization is like, dude, they are getting toxic shit into all They're hiding it in all this shit around us, and we need to be aware of it.
You fucked up, bro mine, Yeah, you fucked up.
Now RFK Junior is coming for your ass.
All right.
Those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, December eighteenth. We are back tomorrow with the whole ass episode of the show. Yep, we'll also have a trending tomorrow and then we will be getting into the holiday episode. Well we'll even have someone like Fridays. Yeah, it'll be Yeah, it'll be a it'll be a black guys. It's gonna be a lot of fun. But yeah, I hope everybody's having a great beginning to the holiday season.
And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get your vaccines, get your flu shots, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
