The Prisoner of AskaTrend 4/4: Harry Potter, Trump, Starbucks, Rupert Murdoch, Barbie, Spaghetti-O's

got it. It's okay. I'm having to switch between Japanese and English so much right now because I'm just trying to get my baby to like hear as much Japanese and shit as possible and like you're a good day. You know. That's something I wish my parents did, but instead they would just insult me in Spanish, in prestating I got that immigrant guilty. It's like, you know, my mom's like, don't let the culture die just because we

came here. I'm like, okay, okay, I'm like trying to de narrating everything in Japanese now, Like I have a song I says, change diapers and everything. Anyway, here we are talking trends, and let's just talk the new trend out there. The thing that a lot of people are talking about, HBO Max is trending because in absolutely nobody asked for this news. Warner Brothers is working on a Harry Potter streaming series for HBO Max. Not like a spinoff, but what their plan is is to take each book

and that would be one season of this show. I get it, I guess in the era of reboot culture. But like you said, I don't think anybody was asking for this. I think the Harry Potter books and movies as they stand still get way too much love in my opinion. Sure, and it's one of those franchises that they did it so well the first time that I just can't simply imagine anybody else being Yeah, Anyone's like, oh, you know, who would fucking kill it as hermione Now

it's like I don't, I don't know. I don't even know who. I felt like for somebody too. I'm completely outside the fandom of this. But like I was in high school when the film wave was really fucking popping off, and I was like, okay, sure, and like to me, it seemed like based on how much people loved it. I was like, they seem to be getting your right, because people fucking lose their minds every time the ship comes out. And like to your point, I'm like, has

there been enough time? It's some people were like, man, we need a new Harry Potter. Well, I'm like, there's still the face of all the merch. You know, like if you go there's Harry Potter World in Universal Studios or whatever, and then if you go to the Harry Potter store here in New York, there's like a fandom store. Yeah, they go, Yeah, there's one in like London too, Yeah, yeah, and it's cool and everything. But I'm just like, I don't know, I'm having a hard time imagining what this

is going to look like. I feel like it's gonna be bad because, you know what, they're doing it as a cash grab because people really upset with HBO right now. They keep canceling shit, they keep you know, through their acquirement, they're like killing things that are good and then bringing back shit that isn't. So put Gordon to chronicles, you cowards, Yeah, literally,

you fucking cowards. That shows like actually a fun watch, even though it wasn't it was like for young adults, younger people, and I was like, there you go, like it was cute. Yeah, anyway, I get it. I mean in the cash grab scheme of things, this is the lowest fucking hanging fruit ever. We're like, I don't know, take Harry Potter movies and make that I fucking yeah, because you know people are gonna watch. I have a

built an audience, a huge built an audience. And you know, I think we've talked about it on the show a while back with Jack, like I guess kids are like slowly no longer knowing what Harry Potter is, Like yeah, you mentioned that where they're like they're like what They're like, nah,

I don't really read that. And it's like yeah, because like my mom's a teacher, she teaches middle school, and like she's like kind of baffled that some of her kids don't know what Harry Potter is because like it was so I was in elementary probably when the books came out and the first movie came out when I was I think maybe in like fourth or fifth grade, and it was like I grew up with it, right, Like that's why it's such a phenomenon, Like this is

over a decade of movies and people really love it. I was never like the biggest fan. I saw the movies, I never read the books. But yeah, I'm sure it's you know, they're trying to indoctrinate a whole new generation so they can continue milking this cow for another twenty years. Yeah. I mean it's just like with Star Wars, you know, like you can you can go decades and people will keep this shit alive. I'm there's I know there's enough people who love the fuck out of Hogwarts that would

do that organically. But again, you need cash. I get it. You took an l because you were trying to fight the streaming Wars and it didn't go your way. One thing is JK, she's going to be involved, not as a show runner, um, but they said she would quote maintain a degree of creative involvement with the series. So like, what does that mean, I don't lose lose for everyone involved? I mean, yeah, I don't. I don't even know, Like like, so the trolls are going to continue to look like

anti Semitic, Like I don't know, right, right, right? I mean, because what did she say like in her weird ass podcast where she was comparing like trans people to like death eaters, and you're like, no, yeah, I mean there's so many things. If you like look at it, just like with a finer tooth comb, you're like, oh, like

this is racist. Like if you listen to all the Asian characters, they are like very like staring like what white people say, what's what's the what the one Asian dude called like Cho Chan or some shit like that. I think the girl is named Cho Chang. Yeah, And I remember being like, Okay, this sounds like a white person just made up an Asian character. Yeah, They're like

they don't even know Cho Chang. And then uh, like the all the um, the people, the goblets whatever that work in the banks, like they're oh depicted as like yeahcial anti Semitic, Like yeah, imagery from like propaganda from like the fucking early twentieth century. Yeah, yeah, we caught that.

We caught that. It was just like I don't know, like it's like she fought tooth and nail that, like they really weren't black characters, and then they're our black character and then it's just like you know, it's yeah, what she needs is she needs to do like George Lucas, did you know what I mean? And go lean even harder. He's like, oh, you want to see offensive Asian people? Check out the trade Federation. People want to fucking put

on the fucking screen. But anyway, look, people lose the thread at some point when they make all this money, and I guess she will continue to profit off of that, so hooray for these fucking people. Next thing that's trending his thirty four counts. Trump has been hit with thirty four different charges, and that's indictment, not guilty, not guilty. Okay,

you feel me? Uh you know, but his names stay filthy and yeah, essentially it's for falsifying a bunch of records as it relates to the Stormy Daniels thing, and hiding it and defrauding the people of knowing that he's a wild piece of trash. I think the wildest thing was this to see that photo of him sitting at the desk like the table in full defendant mode, because I thought he didn't have his chest stuffish shit. He looked a little fucking deflated in there. I mean, thirty

four counts. How hard can you fight? You know? Oh, he'll fight. You know, he's fighting. He's gonna go down swing it and we know that. But I'm sure he's a little you know, the stakes are high. He's never had I don't think it's ever been this real for him, you know what I mean. This is the closest it's come. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh my god, he's edging with accountability. Oh. We will see where it goes.

We don't know. We just don't know. I mean, he's gonna have a press conference later today and we'll see what he says, if he goes wild with it, or maybe he cancels it. But I have a feeling he will be defiant Brooklyn Dad, defiant from that wonderful Twitter account anyway. But yeah, we will see what happens. Again, like I said, I don't know is these are the least sexy charges that he's facing right now, So we

shall see. Moving on, let's get onto actually fucking important things that like, I can't be talking about our crumbling fucking democracy here. Starbucks has been okay. I know when I got back, y'all were talking about this like off mic or maybe it was mentioned off handily and I just put it in the back of my mind because it was too much to actually process. But the Olato line at Starbucks, which is just all olive oil everything type drinks. Yes, so there's three different Starbucks knew olive

old drinks. I caught one of this probably like a couple of weeks ago, because on TikTok I kept seeing people go and get these drinks, and I thought it was a scam, Like I thought it was a joke or that it was one of these weird trends that popped up on TikTok, because often on TikTok people will just like make up drinks or like this is the best drink I've ever made at Starbucks, and they'll like list the way you would like custom order this at Starbucks,

but it's not actually a menu item, right and make the persons like you just be like I'm gonna quit, man if another motherfucker comes in here. TikTok K. I thought it was just like some random ass shit, but no, this is a real line. They're trying to test new flavors and new like interesting things that they can do with their you know, array of ingredients, and I just personally, I just I can't see it for me. I can't. I can't imap myself ordering it. I associate olive oil

with savory things just in general. And I'm not even a fan of like olive oil cake and shit like that's out. I'm like, bro, it tastes. It tastes like olive, like straight olive oil to me, like I cannot. It just does not, you know, it doesn't vibe with my palette, my very evolved palette that is used to taco bell and the life. Well, so I guess the goal of this was supposed to be kind of achieving a similar to like the butter coffee that is like a very

little thing coffee. Yeah, I just can't. You know. I got schooled by superproducer Bay before we hopped on this call about you know, the benefits of you know, maybe having some straight oil in your life and like, you know, oil in your life. Wild. I have a hard time, you know. I think about my body the way I think about on a drain when you pour oil on it. So I just worry about drinking straight I'm putting it

in my coffee and seeing it separate. My dear colleague, may put your attension on all the food you're eating. I try to cook a lot, okay, very healthy. I cook only vegetables, okay, So I feel pretty good about my body. Fair to you because you know, earlier we were talking about Jamaican beef patties, and Andrew Tea and I were like yay, but we're like it makes my skin see through. It's so oil. Literally, it's like I and that's not to say I, you know, I'm a sucker.

Yea pizza, I'm a suck saying you love it really well? I think I cook pretty help Like well, it looks like even like the reviews are kind of like yeah, it's all right, Like no one's like this is the future. Everyone has some form of like yeah, like this was cool, Like that was it sounded like, oh, we never do we ever share that video of Laga that dude from TikTok. I don't think you ever shared that. He's like, yeah, we're cool with that. We're cool with that. Yeah, we're cool.

We're cool with the olive oil coffee is like what the vibe was of the For people who don't know, it's a TikTok video where like this dude is asked if he's cool with the LGBT community, LGBTQ community, and he's like, I think it's a type on he said, like a bigger ticket, and then he realized it was like oh LGBT. He's like, yeah, we're cool with that. And he goes to his wife who's drivings like we're cool with that. She's like yes, well He's like yeah, yeah,

that's cool. Anyway. That's what that was the energy of the reviews um and I just again for me, not for me. I will have my natured uncooked olive oil by putting it on like a is a salad dressing or something like that, you know, dressing. And I'm not too much, you know. I love it, like just like a little bit on some like avocado toast, you know, Oh oh yeah, you gotta do a little drizzle. Look you can, alway, you always gotta drizzle it on, just

a topping. But for me, don't need it. I like how people are even talking, like in the New Yorker they said it's like take quote tasted like a large spoonful of olive oil and coffee, coating the author's mouth with a quote slick oleaginous sediment. Am I annailing that? Look? I'm not saying yeah. Someone said the latte smells like the smell of toast. You might be having a stroke. But let's take a quick break and we'll be right

back after this, and we're back Rupert Murdock. He is also back on the market because the ninety two year old destroyer of worlds through media has called off his two week engagement. His two week old engagement. What it would have been his fifth or was his fifth engagement? Um according to Vanity Fair, Okay, if y'all want the if you'll want the you know, anti democratic tea, here

it is, it says. A source said that the media magnate grew quote increasingly uncomfortable with Smith's outspoken evangelical views. That was his new fiance. In an interview with Chrison Broadcast Network CBN twenty thirteen, Smith explained that after her divorce from her first husband, she found Jesus in a coffee shop and became a preacher, congregating on the streets of Marine County, California. Quote, when you let the Lord take control of your life, you can make it. Okay, sure,

God good? Yeah, Like I said, let go and let elon. You know what I mean? When you're in that car, just let go of that star and wheel and let you take you. But yeah, I this is like such feels like a succession storyline already, like because we're kind of seeing it in succession now with Kerry and Logan and like his weird like a relationship with her. I'm really I can see. He's like I liked her to a second and then she just kept talking with this

Jesus crap too much, so I'm calling it off. It's like, bro, have you seen the views that are being brought pushed on your fucking whatever? Forget its use itself. Those aren't my views, but look at my bank account, okay, and then tell me what's what? Um, but I can't I like the fus just like not those rules in my home, you know, because like rules, it's a lot of conservative. Yeah. It's so he's like, oh, I don't know, I would never do that. He's like, that's for some people, not me.

I will not let that interfere with my life. Okay. Also new trailer Barbie trailer watch, Um, I have not seen it. The teaser was enough of a fever dreamer, and I was like, this looks like some real good high material here. Let me watch it real quick, let me see it was okay. Edit note I just watched it right now so I could properly talk about it. Looks fun, looks fun. I'm very excited. I did not know Michael Stara was in this. I was in it either. Yeah.

I am shook. I love that there's no plot in sight. The only thing I could glean was it sounds like Barbie and Ken are going to leave Barbie World and hit the real world. Yes, and it's like some kind of fish out of water thing when they're like now suddenly in the real world, and like them any of the footage about the real world, because I feel like in the build up to this trailer we saw a lot of the leaked like footage from set about the

real world, you know, like for Santa Monica and stuff. Yeah, yeah, well and Will Ferrell and all that stuff. So I do feel like this was kind of giving us a glimpse into Barbie's world, and we've seen footage of the real world, but we're gonna see in the movie they combine. I'm very excited. Wow. Shout out to all the little Barbies out there who got a gig um, the next thing that's trending. Super producer Victor put this in the chat. You might want to look at this spaghettio. I don't

look I like stupid food collapse. I recently had that Sunny D vodka seltzer thing. Did you even know they made that? I'm going to try it, but I heard about it. Yeah. I was at a party and somebody was like, I thought they were joking. They're like, yeah, we got Sunny D vodka collab blah blah blah. I'm like, I'm like, okay. And I looked and it was a real fucking s boozy sunny DA thing. I was like, wow, okay,

how far we've come. And my first thing was like, oh, there's no sugar in this, and I was like, oh, this is beneath me. I'm like, what did I think was in Sunny D? Yeah? That was just high fructose corn syrup or whatever the fuck Anyway, I like a great food collab. I like that. I'm always pointing them out. But this one is spaghettios and Frank's Red Hot And I've said this a lot on the show. I do not like Frank's Red Hot sauce and this is just me what it is. Okay, I don't. I would like

if they did Tabasco spaghettios. Watch me regress to the third grade in an inm say, go ahead, prefer Frank's over Tabasco. That's fine, And look, I'm not here to There's no one true hot sauce. There's just one that is Tabasco and one that's like buttery crap, Like, if we're really going to talk about it, it's Valentino Day, you know. Valentina, Yes, is another one that I like, is fucking hot. Uh Anita is another one that I like that's from like they make a hobby narrow one

that's spicy. But you know, when it comes to like the shit you can get, like act, Frank's Red Hot isn't what I'm gonna get to put on things as hot sauce. I'm using it to make wings and that's it. Oh god, I mean taste so fake buttery, like the fake butter dimension of Frank's Red Hot. I cannot fucking stomach. It's so weird because it's the only sauce. It's like thick enough and big enough to put on wings. When I'm what do you use to make a hot wing,

truth be told. Whenever I make wings, I don't. I don't saw something like that. What I do is I'll buy a bunch of flats and I basically soak them in crystal hot sauce for like fourteen hour crazy. So you don't have saucy wings, not because it absorbs so much flavor. And I like the char like when i'm them, I don't have a deep friar, Like I'm not gonna make them like the way a wing, you know, as God intended to be like fried and then sauce or whatever. Ed wing kind of slaps my mom killing it in

the air wing? Okay, is that gang? If you're cooking it up in the air fryer, let me know and how you do it. But I've see it's so funny, like I've missed all Like I don't have an insta pot, I don't have an air fryer, and all I see or people be like, oh man, it's the ship. Damn. Brian just came in the cha said airfrire all day for wings. Wait, so, Brian, you're going from raw daddy wings that you buy at the store and then you put them in there and then are you are you

are you reinvigorating a pre frozen, pre made wing? Well, he said Korean style with the what the gochajang? Or what? Okay? All right, well, look, maybe I will venture off to my local culinary proprietor and ask for the air fryer that I hear all the youth them talking about. All that to say is spaghettios. No no, no, no no, uh just don't like it, like we're talking before these mics came on. I loved I love spaghettios like as a kid. That was my funny. See, I was a ravioli.

I was not a big spaghettio as fan. I was like you know about chef. Some of us were just fucking with the ohs like that, and I had the spaghettio to what I would do is I would take that. I would add to basco because I've always like spicy food so I was a kid. And then I would take the green canned and driff or parmesan cheese and I'll put that all over it. Fantastic. So then my question to you, Miles, did you feel a little like burning in the lining of your stomach from yes, for

the Hartburn. No, not at all, No, never. I've been blessed to not have those kinds of issues like digestive things. Uh when I when I go ham on the spicy food. So you know, we'll see and again, if Frank's redhot is your thing, it's your lucky day. And Trump got indeed, Wow, look at you. You're probably an Iowa fan also, and you're loving the news that Joe Biden, you got the team to the White House, you got Barbie trailer, you got the indictment, and you got Frank Man. That Ven diagram,

that Ven diagram. If you're in that little overlap of all three, you know what, it's your day. And if you are, let me know, because I wish you will, I wish you well well. Becca, thank you so much for joining me. It's been a pleasure. And again we'll be back tomorrow with a whole new episode talking all kinds of shit. Until next time, be kind yourself, to be kind to each other. You don't get that vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, nothing, you know,

like you said, trans people are my friends. Transphobes can't catch these hands and just you know, lift by that stick up for people and yourself. All right, we'll talk soon. Bye bye,
