Miles In ManhatTrend 5/11: CNN, Rihanna, Mother's Day, Jamie Foxx, Fruit Roll-Ups, AI GF

Hello everybody, and welcome to this edition of Miles in manhatt Tran shout out to me because.

I'm in New York right now. Also, I have some news. There's not get to be a main show episode tomorrow. Jack is he got sicker, and I know y'all heard him on that last spare with us.

We were we were day by day, moment to moment, but he's feeling a little too sick again. And I'm out of town unfortunately, so I couldn't make the main show recording. But trust we will be back with trends and the show will be back Monday.

Just you know, you got to deal with us.

We are mortal, and I know we had a long street going, but you know, sometimes you know, the Lord just works in mysterious ways. Anyway, I'm Miles and again and I am in Manhattan right now, although just for a moment, and I am thrilled to be joined by super producer Becca Ramos, who I just met for the

I don't know.

I had got that a lot.

You're like, not the only like people usually cannot believe how short I am.

They're like, no, no, there's no one.

When I pulled up, Superroducer Bay was like, oh shit, you're tall.

I that's tall. Shit.

I'm just just a guy out here trying to live anywhere, the guy.

We had a great dinner.

It was you, me, Super Producer Bay, doctor John, Paul Higgins, Olivia from the Big Money Players Network.

It was just like a big, big.

Old, beautiful iHeart reunion.

Yeah, shutout.

iHeart for picking up the tab for that. Also shout out to you all. Anyway, let's talk about what's trending. I think the biggest thing trending right now is the CNN Trump town hall.

That was happening while we were having a wonderful dinner.

So I did catch the highlights rather the low lights when I got back to the hotel, and man, it was I don't know, it was.

It was exactly what I thought it would be.

It didn't matter that he was just found guilty in the EG and Carol case, because everybody in there was hooting and hollering when he took stay and you see a lot of people are so mad at CNN, and I mean, yeah, sure, like the CNN is going to CNN. The thing that was freaky to me was like, oh, he still got them, like the hearts and minds are still fully there. So that to me, that was the freakiest ship rather than CNN.

Just you know, I mean, there's not really a strong Republican candidate right now sticking out for the next election, and so I'm not shocked sadly that he still has a hard rallying cry.

Yeah, And that thing was it was just basically a maga rally on TV. You know, it wasn't as much as you thought, they're, oh, maybe the you know, they're going to ask some tough questions. He ducked and dodged any moment that he had to be accountable. He Caitlin Collins, I mean, the moderator in the beginning tried to fact check Trump, but then like he once he started freestyling and then like fit three thousand lies into like a four worst sentence.

Uh. It was just I think became a bridge too far. Maybe the will to do it just toated. But apparently a lot of.

The staffers at CNN were not thrilled with their employers doing this, and also the CEO basically told all the employees in an editorial call, so like, Trump is quote tricky and messy and will continue to be messy and tricky, but it's our job. America was served very well by what we did last night. The Magle world was the magical world was, you know. But other than that, I

I would normally I would.

Play clips of how bad it was, but I think at this point we all know how shitty he is and how you know, backwards some of the shit he can say. So we'll spare you, We'll spare you.

My question is, if you are convicted as a former president and you want to run for reelection.

Does that make you eligible for reelection still?

Yeah? Yeah, I mean that's insane.

You could run for apparently, I mean you could run for president from prison, you want to.

Oh my god, you can't even get some jobs from having something on your record.

I mean, does not even get into I mean, that's so fucked up.

You know, like we have people that are in prison right now who don't aren't even really formally charged with shit.

Yeah, and that's the norm, and.

That's on the record forever and they can't even get a job like target, you know, like it's like that is so insane to me.

But that's just that. It is what it is right now.

So anyway, it was, you didn't miss anything unless you wanted to see people absolutely lose their minds at the sight of their godhead leader, Donald Trump.

Let's move on to some better news. Robin Fentie and.

Mister as soon as possible Rocket, the baby's name has been revealed because I didn't realize we didn't know the name.

Yeah, I didn't realize, Oh yeah.

It's Rihanna's baby or whatever, and Rocky's baby.

And then like when you read the article, it's like this baby was born almost a year ago now.

And we don't know.

We only just now are going to know the name because allegedly the Daily Mail got a hold.

Of this kid's birth certificate. Was so fucking gross. Yeah not okay, No one gives a fuck.

Enough for you to be I didn't need to know enough for you to entertain a bear certificate.

No, no, no, no, you know what I mean. We don't need to be doing any of that.

But anyway, we have found the name, and fine, let's let's perpetuate this sick culture of celebrity obsession just for a moment, because for me, as a hip hop lover, this name is out of this world. The baby's name is Riza Athelston Mayors r z A as in Rizza from Wu Tang clan, and it's capital, it's like and it's done with the same way, r z A all caps.

That's incredible. That's beautiful. I kind of love it.

Yeah, it's it's in line with yeah there. And they're both powerhouse artists.

Yeah, they looked beautiful at the met like she posted that carousel of them and he was like a fucking love you baby in the comments and I was here for it.

I was yeah. Well, yeah, Drake was crying at the you know, always crying at the store.

Yeah. No, he was at their mesto buying another five Burken bags for a wife that will never appear.

But yeah, so Athleston, I think is like.

It's it's a similar to Rocky's middle name. The thing is, and I've said this before, like Rocky's real name is rock Him because his mom is so into hip hop, Eric B and rock him. His sister's name is Erica after Eric B.

Oh wow.

Yeah, so this is like, I mean, it's very authentic to them, which I appreciate because I feel like a lot of celebrity names are just so fucking wilding out here for like no goddamn reason, just to be like a headlining a story or just to be like there Wedley now here. Like I you know, Culture is a very cute kid.

I hate the name.

Sure, that's such a low hanging fruit name, like because at the time everyone's saying, you know, for the culture, Yeah.

I know, culture with the ka like all of fucking Kylie Jenner's kids' names, the two of them whatever Storm and then Wolf. The other one was originally Wolf and then they changed the name because they got so much backlash.

Oh wolf that I don't remember what the new name is, but what celebrin names are just wild. But I appreciate this one.

I like that it actually has some like sentimental value because it feels like a lot of celebrity names don't that they're just like trying to be as ostentatious as possible.

Yeah, just like like like we talked about, like how the TikTok baby name influencers out here, like people just want to have Like they're like, I can't know anyone with this baby's I won't name my child that.

It's like, just just do you, Like you're the parent, this is what this is part of being a parent.

You get to name your child and then if they don't fuck with it, they can always change that shit later. Finally, before we go to break, this is something I see trending which really worries me. For all of you who have healthy enough relationships with your mother's Mother's Day is coming up Sunday, but the thing that's trending is last minute Mother's Day gifts.

I get it.

We're busy and sometimes, like for me, when it's not like a fixed date, when you're like, oh, May fourteenth is Mother's Day per year. It's hard you lose track and it can sneak up on you. But for all the people out there, it's wild to like read these articles. You're like, well, while it is too late for like customized gifts, there's always you can do X.

Y and Z.

My thing is it makes me sad that as a woman in this culture, I am not a moner, but as a woman that is just like in a very heaterin ornative society that men just like do not think about women, you know in general, right, like you as a son, as a husband, cannot think about your the mother and your life enough that you know her well

Like it's like, yeah, I mean, I know my mom listens to the show, so I'm not gonna tell you what I got you.

Mom, but it's you're gonna like it there.

And I did get a customizable thing, you know what I mean, so because I sometimes it is fun when you get something customized but nothing like nothing ridiculous. And also it's like easy to like, my mom likes this one very specific shade of like blue green. Yeah, so like if I see any that you're like, perfect, I'm copping that immediately.

And then I know Clar's orange, like I love this.

Little tea plate and I'm like, I know, I tell all that shit and I was like, that's for you or you know, it's it's it's very easy. But I guess some people have more difficult parents to like.

And these are for the people I'm saying that have good relationships but they consider a good lange of their mom. Obviously, there are mothers out there who have, you know, torture their children and you know, people with strange relationships.

And I feel for you and I really.

Hope that you find some healing on Mother's Day because I know, I'm sure holidays like that are really really tough to come by.

Every year. I know someone in my life.

I realize you're like yeah Sunday, Yeah.

Well I know someone in my life that you know definitely has a torture relationship with their mom. So it's it's hard. Like, I know holidays like this can be tough, but for the men.

I'm really calling out the men.

For the men out here who love their moms but you don't know what they get them.

Be better?

Yeah, do better? Come on, love your mom and like enough to know like what you can get her first?

Yeah, I gifts more than flowers and a cart in a candle.

Do better?

No, no, no, and like come on, like you could even be cliche.

Your mom might whine, you know, get that outdoor wine table I see like on Twitter all the time. It's like that wooden steak and like peg into the ground and holds two wine glasses and a bottle.

Anyway, So yeah, if you need any last minute ideas, hit me up on Twitter. My dms are open.

I will charge fifty dollars per suggestion, but you have pretty great suggestions.

I have pretty good suggestions.

All you have to tell me is your your mother's favorite band, her favorite color, and her and her birth sign.

And then I got you. I don't know that's that's I was like, those.

Are three things that I feel like I could come up with a pretty good gift with those three things.

Yeah, you're like, okay, so they like they like LeeAnne rhymes, they're like the color purple, uh huh, and they're an aquarium. Okay, yeah, let me Oh, they're gonna love this amethyst bracelet I just found anyway. But yeah, do right by your mother's again if you have that kind of relationship, because I know not everybody does. All right, let's take a quick break.

I know some people have said that potentially.

That he had maybe had a stroke, but right now, the you know, you look at some of the like the news headlines, people are saying that is Jamie Fox is inner circle quote hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.

Oh my god, I don't know what.

I'm not sure what is going on there.

And then you have again because Twitter is full of bored ass, unserious people who are just saying like there's a conspiracy theory, like Hollywood is trying to get him got because.

This, that and the other, and I'm like, I please, like just respect that. I don't know whatever's going on.

Clearly something serious because he's been hospitalized for a few weeks now, so yeah, not sure what exactly is going on, but yeah.

Yeah, they say they're trying to keep his stress levels down. I don't know what that means, but yeah, good luck to Jamie FOXX.

Yeah, and not be easy. And man, strokes are no joke.

No, I've had a couple of them in my family, and yeah, I mean like it can be, it can be.

It can be really really devastating.

But anyway, so I got to know those signs about like recognizing a stroke.

Yeah, we save someone's life.

I mean, my friend very recently had one and she's really young. It was like very very very scary and like luckily, yeah, it was like very like a few weeks ago. She's on medical leave now because it's just like she had this insane headache and was kind of seeing spots and felt numbness on one side and she called her other friend and was like, Hey, can you take me to the hospital. I think I'm having a stroke.

Like be here right now. It's crazy.

And she's fine, she's like made a full recovery. I mean she's still on leave.

But yeah, it was so scary.

It's like luckily that we had people in our community and just able to tell the signs that like, yeah, this is like more than just a migraine, like you got yeah.

First they I remember because it because it was like, you know, prevalent in my family.

Like there's that thing.

Called fast right, like you got to check your face, arms stability and talking if they can like if their speech is like impeded in one way.

And I know they've added that too.

Is faster now because it's face, arm stability, talking eyes because if you have difficulty seeing or double vision, that can be another one. And then our is react because you really want to be able to make sure you get somebody medical attention for that. But it's scary, scary.

Next up, fruit roll ups. It is trending. Who loves the fruit? I love fruit?

I remember did you do the thing where you would like punch out the little shapes first and eat those.

Yeah.

And then did you ever go like just go fucking animalistic with it and just like yeah, get.

The whole thing in your mouth.

And then you had to do the tattoo ones and oh.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

And then I know somebody does like a wrapple somebody. I knew somebody would wrap an apple with a fruit roll up and eat that. Okay, well this is.

I don't apples like that, I ask, So yeah.

I mean, I'm like, really, I don't know. I'm like such a child. I'm like, I like my apples cut.

Yeah.

Same, and I don't like it knitting that.

Yeah.

As a damn near forty year old man, I like to cut my app.

I likes I like little slices, dip them in the little peanut butter.

Yeah.

I also grew up like with my dad eating apples is just throwing the cores on the dash of his truck. So like as a kid, I just remember, dude, and these ships would dry out.

In the sun.

Yeah, And I remember my dad would like pull up somewhere nice and like you get the mapple course off the there's like fifteen up here, man, what the fuck? Anyway, So fruit roll ups is trending because TikTok has created yet another black market for things because one person, people were taking a scoop of ice cream and wrapping it in a fruit roll up and then putting it back in the freezer, so like, you know, the cold.

Just like just hardening the fruit roll up to kind.

Of like mochi ice cream, yeah, roll up, and then people were taking bites and like, oh shit, the fucking fruity flavor with the ice cream but up so in Americans obviously like a creamy almost yeah. And you know, because we are an exceptional nation, we have easy access to fruit roll ups, but not you know, mental health care or you know, safety from gun violence. But we can get fruit roll ups, which has led to places like Israel who are like on ticked.

There is a appetite for fruit roll ups. Now Americans are hauling fruit roll ups.

Illegally into Israel where they can get six They can get six dollars for one fucking roll up.

One roll up is six dollars.

Okayah, that's like the school hustle.

I know, well for real.

Real snacks at school.

And you're like exactly what you want. They're like, oh, your mom, your mom is like in a colt and we'll let you have that. Yeah, I got something for you. Yeah, which you want pres too. Yeah. The gushers are fifteen.

Though the Washington Post is saying that not one, but two American couples tried to sneak hundreds of pounds of fucking fruit roll ups. One couple tried to bring in three hundred seventy five pounds, which, like.

How much for rollups?

Is?

That's a lot?

Right?

That's like thousands of roll ups.

They say, somebody's doing quick maths on the takeout.

I believe it was like a half ounce per roll up, like it would be something like twelve thousand.

Yeah, rolls you had on a Wow insane instead, which I guess if you're charging six dollars times twelve thousand.

That's a lot.

Seventy two ran right there.

Thank you for math. You can't do it.

He Yeah, I'm I'm all about I'm all about flipping numbers, you know, I'm I have a hustler spirit as.

Well as jay Z said.

But yeah, I just it's just so interesting to me that like something is uninteresting and normal as a fruit roll up is now fetching these because of TikTok. I mean, just shows you the power of like these trends man, and people feeling like they get that fomo and they're like, man, can you like.

Maybe ingest some like maybe tuck you know some on some marirace. Yeah, like come through with the fruit roll ups please.

These hundred and seventy five And then apparently like the like immigration ministry or like the people customs ministry at the Israeli airport said.

They've gotten over. They've confiscated over six hundred and sixty one pounds of fruit roll ups in one week.

That I'm blown. That's insane, that's whatever.

I mean, what are we gonna when?

Am I going to pay exponentially over the over the market price or normal price or something because of a TikTok trend.

I don't think I've paid too much money for a trend specifically, but I've been influenced by TikTok more than any other app in my life. Like I really you surpride myself on not like succumbing to ads, especially someone coming from the advertising industry. I was like, yeah, and now I'm like and I'm like, oh no, Like I bought the one sized Patrick Star setting spray, yep, I want to buy the clear blush that's going viral on TikTok. Like I'm like, oh, yeah, the elf eyebrow palmade, I

Is that the one to give your like little your eyebrows a little bit of.

Yeah, it's supposed to like giving you the like feathered eyebrow look.

But I feel like all.

The makeup girlies, I'm like, I want to hear from a real makeup artists how the fuck they do it? Because I've tried everything and I cannot get.

Eyebrows a stick up. I don't know.

My eyebrows are too strong, they're too powerful, but I cannot get them. Like I can get them when I first do them to look like that, but the second it's been like ten minutes.

They're falling like they've They're no longer feathered.

They're just like Atlas keys. They're falling, Wow, falling.

Hey, Zech gang with the with the wild Eyebrow game, please hit us and I will pass the information along to how you get it.

I saw somebody the other day.

I thought they drew them ships in they were so like exact yeah, But then I was like, oh no, you you're just you got whatever, you got, whatever you have to to get your I don't know, those aren't edges, but your eyebrows were laid.

I mean you do lay them like I got a little spotular thing and I'm like, I'm literally like slicking them. I've gotten to the point where I'm like, okay, I'm like trying different combinations.

I'm like, do I put the put the gel and then the.

Ever the hills gel, and then I like do the setting spray and then I'm like laying them. I'm like, which is it? I started using eyelash glue in the front to see none of it's working. None of it's working.

Could it be that your eyebrows are too thick, because yeah, I do think.

It's that better.

I think it looks better if you have less eyebrows because you can actually see the individual, so in a way, maybe you're nable. Yeah, they'll count your blessings. You're like, yo, these brows too lit to be doing.

I'm not getting I'm not fitting them.

Out because you know what, I had a manic moment in January and I bleached my eyebrows and I was like tee and then I, oh, myles, I had to cover up.

I was so scared.

I bleached them and then I was like, oh my god, like I'm gonna dye them like like a lighter red brown, but I bought the wrong color and then I ended up just like looking like my eyebrows. So I was like, okay, whatever, So I rebleached them and then I try to I use this overtone like red brown color. I had sat too long. They were bright orange miles. I have a picture. I look so desperate, like I'm in disbelief, Like what

Yeah yeah, in a way, like it feels like is it like a comb over for eyebrows, Like because you're trying to make a little bit more than is there.

And then it became a I don't know either.

Way, like people were dying their eyebrows on TikTok, and I was kind of like, what if I just tried it, Like I want to see, like can I be a cool girl, like an all cool girl who.

Has bleached eyebrows? And I got two panick's.

Like I was like, oh, I need my eyebrows, and so I colored them a color and then it just kept getting worse.

You know, I love it. I love it, oh man, all right.

And then finally AI girlfriend is trending because I think this is an interesting story about someone who is trying to use AI for their own personal gain, and then the AI just kind of started doing its own thing.

On someth So what's what's good with you?

Oh you look like a snack, Siri will respond to you, you know what I mean. And so basically people started encouraging erotic discourse with this AI chat bot and it was getting a little bit learned.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

It's like the movie Her. That's so great.

So right now, she said that people are paying a dollar minute for it. She said a thousand people are already paying for this. And she said of her like millions of subscribe our followers on Snapchat, that twenty thousand people have signed up for this job.

But only a thousand are paying right now.

She's like, but if that goes up, she says, she could be raking in five million dollars a month.

No, that's insane, doing the wrong because she's not even the one making the exp like she doesn't have to be the one selling her feet vibe, you know, like she literally just has her voice and she doesn't have to do the work that works smarter.

Not hard, even you're not even doing the war.

You're not even doing the war.

Yeah, yeah, but I think for her probably did not want it to get to the point where.

Yeah, I'm sure she didn't want her voice with it, yeah, to be saying fuck ntcy shit to like weird men on the internet.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're trying to work on it.

Though, they're trying to work on like work these little bugs out. But as she said, quote, in today's world, my generation gen Z has found themselves to be experiencing huge side effects of isolation caused by the pandemic resulting and many being too afraid and anxious to talk to somebody they're attracted to. I said, Karen AI is a step in the right direction to allow my fans and supporters to get to know a version of me that will be their closest friend in a safe and encrypted environment.

That sounds like a really great marketing space. Yeah, miss me.

With the there's a loneliness, but like if there are other ways to go about it then exploiting people's you know, very very very big feelings around isolation.

But yeah, get in where you fit in.

I guess if you're trying to make that money anyway, look out for miles AI coming soon and only be twenty five cents a minute.

Yeah, you give them a discount.

Exactly, but it will be boring. I will not do anything nasty. It'll be an unactually bought. Actually yeah, anything you ask to answer the first words, actually, what do you think of my outfit?

Like never actually responding to anything they say.

Yeah, yeah, it's just an undermine you're feeling confidence. It's pretty cynical. But that's why it's only twenty five cents a minute.

But anyway, be careful with that AI, y'all because it can go rude or rouge, as I like to say, by mispronouncing it and misspelling it.

Anyway, that's gonna do it for us, Remember y'all, no show tomorrow, no mainshow tomorrow. While Jack is infirmed, he may be back Monday. If not, I will definitely be back Monday, will definitely be back tomorrow. For trends, please light a candle, light some incense, rub your crystals and send some healing energies to mister Jack O'Brien.

Please because he what did he say?

And I don't want to put him out there like that, but he was texting this morning said.

I've never seen him actually be so vulnerable in the chat like that.

Yeah.

I would be like, bring cover down bad if he'd be saying I'm shivering, hand.

To the cover because he's man.

He's stugged it out for a couple of recordings, over many recordings.

He stuck it out, and I would argue he won't quit till like the very very very last moment. So for him to come up early in the am on Pacific time to be like I am on, well, I'm sending a call.

My white flag is raised.

Yeah.

Anyway, thoughts and players, send your thoughts and prayers over to mister j Ob all right, Mike, always say, be kind yourself, behind to each other, get that vaccine, get your shots.

Man, shit is too wild out here.

Be kind to each other, and you know, please, don't do nothing in the face of all this kind of hatred we're.

Experiencing in the world.

Be a good person, because shit, it's easy and it's free. And guess what it helps other people feel like they live in a great place too.

All Right, y'all, we will see you tomorrow. For sure. We will be back tomorrow at the very least for trends and all my day. Trust, trust, we will be back, all right.

Shout out to the baby name for his fie Fie
