Hello everybody, and welcome to this afternoon edition of my trend Oude guard. Oh no, I don't want to think about my favorite Norwegian player who's hurt. Thank you too of Vanadium Silver on the discord for that Arsenal reference that only I will understand, but I will hold in my heart very dearly. My guest co host Paulov Ganolan is looking like, what the fuck are you?
I don't understand it. I don't get it. I don't know. You don't know what I'm saying. I was, and I was down for it, but then he said arsenal, and I was.
Like, boo boo sport. Anyway, This is the September tenth edition of the Trending episode. You already know. That's Paula Ganolan on the other side of me. Thank you, paulav for you know, hanging out to tell people what's trending.
Welcome, and I just want to say I never forget September tenth too, because I more important because kind of like the night before everything went down.
Thank you, the night before Pistmas, as my grandmother called it, so she out September tenth. Lovely woman, lovely woman. Anyway. These are the things that are trending. First up, James Earl Jones passed away. That was a big kick in the nerdy But for everybody who, like I'm in the middle of playing a Star Wars game, just a fan
of his voice. People, whether you loved him from The Lion King or Conan or The Great White Hope, sand Lot anything, He's had all these moments and I think, what was I think, Brian the edit was pointing out, too, pretty amazing that you've had this career when he passed away at like ninety three, and we was, from my understanding, not really a controversial figure. So hey, shout out to you, my man.
But also you know that he was like, don't bring it up to us.
Don't bring it up right now. I'm mourning Darth Vader. Okay, I don't.
Want to know. We just believe he was a great man and had a great voice and was a great actor.
Exactly. Thank you, thank you, thank you, coming to America, coming to America. Field of dreams. Fucking what cat on a hot tin roof this? He spanned ages and his contributions to film are felt forever. Yeah, anyway, so shout out to you, James Will Jones rest in peace. The other thing that is trending Cheetos. It's trending because the carl the Carl's Bad Caverns and the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Uh,
something happened. So someone left a full bag of Cheetos in the Big Room, which is the quote largest single cave chamber by volume in North America. And according to a Facebook post, this left this errant bag that was left of Cheetos quote attracted wildlife and worryingly grew mold on the cavern's walls, which affected the ecosystem of the cave.
And is also how JK. Rowling got the mold in her home. There was an empty back of Cheetahs just left it there that I got there and it backfired. And I'm sorry.
Everybody knows transphobia plus and a bat half open bag of Cheetos equals mold crawling up.
All all the bats from that cavern are transphobic.
Thank you, that's old. Look, and thank you Paulvy. I know you have a background in science. I feel like that's probably a nailed dog.
I will put my degree on that the California Institute of Technology and tell them that This is what their education did to me, and maybe they shouldn't have offered a bioengineering degree as a first.
Year for me. Oh my god. One of your old professors is like, I was just checking on what Paulay's doing. She's she has something really interesting.
They like get a Nobel Prize from it. I'm like, good poist it again, how do they win?
How do they win a Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking research on Cheeto's plus transphobia equals mold And it's just it's it's the new law. But yeah, apparently they were able to clear the area and have foreign mold and things like that. I just it said. The processed corn, softened by the humidity of the cave, formed the perfect
environment to host microbial life and fungi. Cave crickets, mighte, spiders, and flies soon organized into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations.
That's so fucking like if penicillin went wrong, we grew mold. But it was exactly a very bad thing.
This was not good. This did not this was not a breakthrough for antibiotics at all. This is all bad and we could have ruined the largest cave bi biotics. Yeah damn yeah, in a way like I don't know, I guess like it's heartening to know that Cheetos can breathe life into another an otherwise lifeless place like a cave. So thank you, thank you to Cheetos.
For we don't want any copy Cheetos cats, you know what I mean?
No, no, no, no, no, don't bring Cheetos into a kit. What is his name, the cheetoh Chester Cheetah Chetah, Chester Cheato or whatever Chester Chetah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't just Also, Cheetos are such a weird that has to be a kid. Like, if you're an adult, you're an asshole. If you're like like, hey, I'm going on my fucking kit like my nature walking, i got a fucking bag full of Cheetos. I'm spilling everywhere.
Come on, now, what about the what if they did an experiment where they went back and they put the fiery and then they were like, the opposite happened, and we were like, what the fuck is the difference between?
Yeah, they're like, it grew new stalagmites and stalagtites that we've never seen. It was only possible through the power of flaming hot chem The next thing that's trending Taylor Swift. And we haven't talked about Taylor in a while. She's been keeping her head low, but you know her boo Travis Kelcey, he's on a team with the quarterback with Patrick Mahomes and his wife Ma Holmes, didn't been getting
some attention recently. Looks like she's kind of like in some Maga content, you know what I mean that the people taking it as a soft endorsement, if not a basic, a basic, full on endorsement of Donald Trump.
But yes, is she is?
She Is she from Kansas City? Is that we're trying to say? Is she is she the fairest of them all? Mirror mirror on the wall. Yes, yes, yes, it turns out yes, yes, yes she is. And so people are like, oh shit, Brittany Mahomes is like all into Maga, And you know, I think that I'm not really shocked by that at all. But the thing is, Taylor Swift was
recently pictured with her. They were like booed up, having a laugh, hugging it up, and a lot of the Swifties were like, what the fuck it's swifties for Kamala and you're like full on embracing this maga figure like one person on Twitter, but disappointed but not surprised atp At this point, I'd love to hear that others were just having some form of like this is not miss Americana, This is not miss Americana of you at all, where
they're referencing the documentary where she said I felt responsible to be on the right side of history before before she endorsed Joe Byron and as of now, Taylor has not She's keeping her cards close to the chest, but she doesn't want.
Used her music and she hasn't been like stop using my music. Right, isn't that a thing where she's like, she hasn't said stop using my likeness for my music, and other artists have done that for thel.
I don't know had they used her. I just remember the one thing was when he used that AI thing, and she's like, Taylor Swift endorsed me. She was like, it was we didn't really hear anything from there.
Yeah, that's right. Maybe it's not music. Maybe I got that wrong.
It could be I'm I'm not I'm not as up on Taylor Swift as I was when the air As Tour fervor was at like.
Fifties get her on Taylor Swift. Yeah, yeah, I think that was the main thing was she had this whole last documentary where she was like, I'm going to stand up to my white friends and family and tell them that I'm not voting or be public about not wanting Donald Trump to be president. And then now it's like, oh, like, oh, it's inconvenient for your social life. Interesting. Yeah, I would have never have guessed that in the box seats in Kansas is gay.
Well yeah, because then they're pointing at the fact like they weren't sitting next to each other next time. So she was trying to be like, okay, how about physical distance rather than like a statement. Does that work for anyone? No, Okay, it's fine whatever. She'll probably come out like at the zero hour when it doesn't matter.
Okay, that's what all the people who thought she was gay said. But that didn't happen either.
Oh, very clever, very clever. Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll come right back with some more trends, and we are back. Let's get the boring government shit out of the way before we talk about Beyonce and comedians being sued by Trump. Shut down is trending because Donald Trump is now begging Speaker Mike Johnson to essentially
shut down the government over the next spending bill. Why you ask, it's because they want to include a measure that requires voters to present proof of citizenship when they vote. So they're trying to sneak this in right before the election to then turn just an all out voter suppression attack. Basically, oh, you don't have well, I mean, you don't have the proof that your citizen, then I guess you can't vote today.
So this has become like a huge thing whereas many people are like, oh, you're you're just gonna threaten to shut the government down over this. I think conservatives in their minds think, you're like, well, I mean, don't you guys want to protect the integrity of the election. I mean, I don't see what's so wrong with that, and then
we can fund our precious government. But this is coming out of time where like they're the political goodwill is not necessarily on their sides to be shutting down the government over where your papers before your vote type legislation.
So I wish government shutdowns meant like, oh, like the war is going to shut down and not like the library. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wish government shutdowns meant like the bad stuff actually did shut down.
Well, the bomb factory is going to go night night if you do that. If we have to shut down the government, we can't make any more boom booms and send them. So you know, what do you want? What do you want? Uh? Yeah, like you know, Mitch McConnell is even like, this is absurd, this is a ridiculous, obviously done, still a lot, Mitch McConnell, old friggin' zombie
face is still out here, ride and strong. But yeah, I mean obviously it could pass the House, but the Senate is controlled by Democrats, so it would just be d o a there. So they're like, yeah, go ahead, like fucking play do your worst here like you can. We'll see who blinks.
And the Republicans are like, we will do the worst, and we're like fuck.
Yeah, fucking if we fucking lost it, man, we got to do everything we can to keep this felon out of prison. And I don't know why this happened, but I don't know, he said some good racist stuff. And we just were like, yeah, we like it. We like that he can say it out loud. We want to say it out loud too, So we'll keep an eye on that story. I mean, as it stands, I just don't think like, we won't.
Shut down the government if you let us sity an word. And we're like no, and they're like, god, damn it.
All right, I'm just looking. I had to try. I had to try to try. I had to try. What about can all right, I'll send some racial slurs over you. Guys can thumbs up with them, down them over over there, put it like in.
A TV show or a movie, like on a napkin, and you slide it across.
Okay, here's my best and final offer.
And the guys never seen an offer with that many ours before.
Yeah, also, isn't isn't mud blood from the Harry Potter universe? You like to use it derogatorily, hey, and you can RAI biracials, quad racials whatever you call what I mean. Look,
we need a word for it, so see too long? Yeah, exactly, and and and we don't like to use old timey slurs like quadroon, so Beyonce trending obviously because the CMA nominations came out yesterday, and well, well well if if I mean just based on their past history, I remember when Lil nas X had like the biggest song on Earth old Town Road or text or yeah, old Town Road that Texas Holding was Beyonce song and somehow wasn't nominated for a CMA even though people were like, this
is like, this is like a country track, And it took Billy Ray Cyrus to be like, hey, I'm gonna hop on the remix and they're like, well, now you're talking, thanks for having your white show chaperone on this fucking track, and or so we can actually white nomination father. So Cowboy Carter the album you know, made history.
Dolly part It had all of the country stars on it.
Shit was country absolutely everybody. This was again made history, first black woman to top the country music charts and have a number one song Texas Hold Them. Uh, But somehow that wasn't enough to get nominated, like completely snubbed. Someone pointed out that like in the history of like music award shows, I don't think there's anyone who has had a number one album and number one song that has been completely like disappeared from nominations from like a
Grammys or you know, anything like of that nature. So we see what you're doing. The cmas, I know, they'll point to things like like well she said it wasn't a country album. She said it was a Beyonce album. Okay, I feel like.
Yes, And that's why I feel like she shouldn't worry about awards anymore, because it's like she's been stubbed so many times that it literally like her being stubbed delegitimizes the grands. It makes her stronger and them look like it's like she's in her own level and she can't win the awards because then if she were included, like she would just dominate.
Yeah. Yeah, it is just wild. I mean, like when it's just so I mean, it's not because we live in an era now where like everything is so mask off where they're like, well, you know, she's a black woman, and we just it just kind of doesn't go that way. I mean, while they do recognize like black artists in country, you know, this one just felt a little bit weird, especially for how how good that album was.
It was so good and it was so like like country musicians who are your like favorite country musicians and your favorite country musicians musicians like they approved. They were like, we fucking co signed this, this is the country album. We love her, we're fans, yeah, you know. And then the Country Music Awards where all of those people have been like awarded.
No, no, forget it. I loved Spaghetti. That track was great. Fucking Bodyguard good. Yeah, I really like Spaghetti. I mean that was a little bit that wasn't like that had a little more little hip hop to it. But you know, I really liked.
Post malone on like Levi's or something. Wasn't that let Levi's jeans by Beyonce a post call? Yeah he counts as country, but she doesn't, I know.
And he was out here trying to scoop like, you know, we saw you dabbling in black culture post Malone, only to be like, nope, I'm country now does that work?
Was what do you mean dabbling? That was like his whole thing.
I mean, yeah, I'd say that euphemistically to act like it was just a little just a little bit of a thing. I mean, white iverson. I mean that was like kind of like a it's like a send up of black music.
But that's like what a lot of I mean, that's what Miley did. She like went just dibble dabbled.
Yeah, wow, it's like country huh. And then I also realized too, like that Tracy Chapman, she only got that CMA because a white artist covered fast Card. And you're like, yeah, okay, yeah, not surprising, but when you read it over and over again, it it just this thing doesn't go away. And then
finally another Trump trend. So the Rolling Stone they're reporting that this is from a quote from this Rolling Stone article quote lawyers close to Trump and his inner circle have spent more than a year researching obscure elements of the criminal code, seeking novel ways to criminally charge comedians in retaliation. Like just in general, he's like looking for all kinds of ways to come at his critics.
We're already comedians, haven't we suffered enough?
Yeah, exactly exactly. I didn't get a quibi deal. I missed the quibi when everyone's getting quibi checks. I missed that. Okay, what's the next?
Have our impressions and our little dick jokes.
So while first it was going after government officials, then the focus switched to late night comedians, it's a quote, as President Trump briefly attempted to get Justice officials to twist campaign finance laws and the federal Equal time Rule to declare that anti Trump material broadcast by Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and others was somehow illegal and during his twenty twenty four campaign, According to a source
of direct knowledge, Trump has raised this topic again, venting about the need to punish late night comedians for giving quote illegal campaign contributions in the form of jokes and on air satire. Wow wow wow wow wow wow, good luck.
I would I would love to be considered a contribution by any of my drugs.
Yeah.
I just loved it for someone to be like, yeah, she's contributing.
Wow, well you know what that's that's a positive. She's adding, she's adding. But yeah, one day, you know, who knows if if he's able to pull it off, maybe we'll all be in the same weird comedian camp together, like in prison.
We're going to start and open mic at a concentration camp.
We're just like Jesus Christ. The most grim comedy could you imagine.
But find a way. We'll find a way.
To be stupid, as comedians will find a way will mean through the pain.
Are like weeds in the pavement exactly exactly.
We're the jokes that grew from from concrete. Uh well, Paula, y thank you so much for joining me on this trending episode. I think maybe I'll see you tomorrow for another bit of hosting.

Yeah.
I'm like, I just want something that's rated gg.
Would you want to do head popping? Oh?
No, I don't want to do anything violent. I want to do something that's like silly and like and sweet, like I can talk, like I can call all the I want to like a snow White thing or a Cinderella thing where I can call all the animals to like make my like pet slaves, you know what I mean, just make my dresses for me and like like you know, make my stews for me and stuff. You know. Yeah.
Yeah, they're like it's going to take two blue birds to work that later. Yeah yeah, I know.
Blue birds are like, please, can we unionize? And I'm like, no, get but.
Then you head pop them. They're like, don't make me.
No, I don't.
I said, I just wanted. I just wanted. I'm sorry, let me change the length. I want an animal assistance around.
Yeah, but you know what, time get in this gatorade bottle or like whatever weird poop pee birds have.
If I had a useless one, I think I would just literally make it rain money.
Whoa yeah, that's not useless.
I mean, I don't want to cause like a scene to have people fighting over like loose bills, but that's what you giving.
And then every time they're like, why aren't you married or have I could just be like and make it rain and then they all scramble for the money and I get out.
Or just like a magic trick where I just go, why don't you check your why don't you check your pockets right now?
Yeah?
Oh my god, seventy thousand dollars in cash and then I'm gone.
That's literally like Brake's music videos.
Yeah, except without the creepy allegations, you know what I mean. But it's also like it's not coming from a bank account, like it's true out of thin air, like where people are like, I think this guy's fucking up the econom like y'all are printing money already anyway, fucking h you're worried about me? Okay, sure, all right, Well that is going to do it for us. Like I said, we'll catch out tomorrow the last part. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll see you tomorrow.
