TrendBA 420 Day 4/3: Dairy Queen, Angel Reese, Shakira, Moana, NYT, NBA

something and then go take it on a completely different direction. Anyway, I'm Miles and I'm joined by Becca Ramos. Hello. How are you? I'm good? Happy Monday? Yeah? Yeah, I guess do you feel good about what? I feel good? If there was a three day work week, where do you put the three days you work? Do you want to? Are you a Monday Tuesday person? Like you want that to be part of the weekend? You want Thursday Friday?

I think I would work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Thursday, okay, because the vibes on Friday are like already rans it right, You're like, don't want to work like that's already been kind of set in the culture. And then Monday is like a really productive day. We know it's yet done, like like in your life, you know, and to not have to work on that day and to be able to like go to a doctor's wintment or something, it seems like that's when shits open. So like Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday's a good working schedule. I think that, Yeah, psychologically, you may might get more things than part of me was singing. Imagine if you work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, because on Wednesday you're like, it's Thursday tomorrow, and then it's Thursday, You're like it's the weekend. Maybe like the whole time, I just basically wouldn't work because I'm like, man, it's the weekend already. Low vibe, honway. So that's how you know you're in a young office when those are the priorities. Um,

let's get to what are the top trending stories? First up, dairy Queen. So there's a dairy queen that apparently getting a lot of attention because they have like a fifteen foot tall red spoon outside the building, like the kind you'd get with a blizzard. But somebody just came through and a fucking snatched that, and the owners were a little bit confused because of like what the fuck did somebody do with a just a goof gag spoon that's

fifteen feet tall. But apparently the way they describe it, they said the suspects were precise as if they had done it before. And guess what these people are raising his ship because they weren't wearing masks and they were all caught on camera but have still not been identified. And I just like how it's truly they're like what the fuck are we doing? Like who would do this?

When you started this story, I was like, this is definitely college children, But now having the images, those are like full blown adults, which is crazy because this is definitely college kid level theft. Like I know kids when I went to Baylor, they would steal yeah yeah, yeah, very expensive. How do I describe this? Like banners? I guess they would like Baylor would pay because private school money and you know, like pituition is going to pay

for this for these banners. He's like forty foot banners or whatever that they would hang up on the fencing near the stadium for the football and basketball games, like basically like promoting you know, the football season, basketball season, and all the frat boys would love to go like take their little clippers and snip the banners off and

then hang them in their flat houses. And it became like a phenomenon where kids were stealing these signs all over campus, like the road signs and also the banners. And my ex actually almost got arrested for attempting to steal one of these and almost got expelled. So to me, I'm like, this is college connectivity, but these are people.

But here's the thing. Sometimes you get a wild hair up here behind and you realize, what if we go back to those days when we just stole things willy nilly, Because yeah, I mean I remember why would come up on the weirdest shit. You know that's how old I am. We call it coming up, you know how I came

up on this. And whenever I think I've said this before, like when I would go to I had a streak too, or I would try and take all of the tabletop things at a restaurant, like if you go to Denny's, I'm like, I'm gonna take the menu, I'm gonna take the napkin thing, I'm gonna take the sugars and then just walk out numbers. The god, that's like the thing.

The water Burger numbers are what you steal, right And so again for people who are like, why would you take that, You're like for no reason aside the fact that I'm I'm in my you know, tupac mentality, because I'm like, I'm taking from them because for years they've been taking from me, even though I have no gripe against Denny's. So DQ people show yourself, just bring back

the spoon and now like Giant Spoon. Yeah, there's been people like, I don't know, a lot of this has gotten so much press, which is why I'm just like, really, I'm for mixed by it all, um. But yeah, they even have like shirts are like where's my spoon that they're selling? So where is City Treasure? Treasure? Bring back the spoon. Next up is Angel Reese. Shout out to Angel Reese over there from the LSU basketball team. They

won the women's nc Double A championship against Iowa. And the reason this is getting a lot of a lot of coverage today is there's Caitlyn Clark, who was IOWA star player, you know, and she she was you know, she had a little bit of swagger about her, especially going into this tournament. You know, she was hitting people with the John Cena or so you thought, John Cena, you can't see me putting the fucking palm in front

of the face. But from people who really know hip hop, Tony Yao did that in the So Seductive video, so we will give proper attribution on this podcast. But anyway, Kaitlyn, you know she's been she's been on her swaggy competitor vibe. But guess what, LSU. They actually came to win in the in the championship game, and Angel Reese, feeling herself, decided to hit her with the you can't see me.

And then also when you know everything was sending, started pointing that ring finger, being like, oh, who's gonna get it? Who's gonna have that championship ring on? Not you? Yeah, it was about to cut these nets off meat, Oh

who are you? I don't even remember you. And now, predictably, because Angel Reese is a black woman and Caitlin Clark is a white woman, they are basically a lot of people have given her a lot of weird ass racist smoke, being like, oh, that's really unsportsman like, it's real bullshit. It's like, have y'all watched a single. She's just doing the same shit period, y'all. Yeah, And I'm like, whatever

go on? Like everyone else came out in support of like Angel Reese, like even like Lebron James, and it's like, yeah, fucking dude, do that shit. I should be known. She's quite homophobic, but also been wearing some really interesting attire on the sidelines, and many people are like you, I'm sorry, what this? How did you square all this? Because she does look like a rejected Muppets character, you know what?

I think I did see her on TikTok. There was this girl doing this series that was like, is it a lesbian or a professional basketball coach? And it's like all these different woman's basketball coaches wearing these saying outfits, yeah something. Yeah, they get swaggy on the sidelines for sure, but hers are just like super over the top anyway, shout out to that team. Can't be easy playing for somebody like that, but hey, you did what you had to and and and you made somebody feel bad in

the process. Like at one point it was funny. I think they were like lined up for a free throw or something, and she just kind of like Angel Reese looked at her. It's like, oh, oh, you literally can't even see me right now, Okay, I see you because not like that. People did not like that. Now let's move on to another person. Chukirakira. Anyway, Shakira is out here, literally out here in the US streets. Yeah, on the

streets of Miami. Okay, is South Beach. Her and her two sons have had to leave their home in Barcelona, in Catalonia. Beautiful place, beautiful um shout out Catalan independence. Um. Turns out this wasn't because she was like, oh, you know what, I like the South Beach vibes. It's because the local Spanish paper is saying that her ex husband, Gerard Pique, the footballer his father Joanne Pique, fucking evicted

them from his house. He sent an email to Shakira last month giving her until the end of April to vacate the home the family once shared or pay a substantial fee. He was going to evict, he was going to evict his grandsons. He said, fuck that woman. I don't care about my own kids. I'll make a point because you know, when my son cheats on his wife. When when my son cheats on you, I'm gonna show you how bad it gets. It's not just bad enough

that he's unfaithful and a liar. I will then evict you and your kids and I like, they're not my blood. What a fucking mess? Yeah, what a time? Um So yeah, I don't know, we'll see what the fuck that Such a terrible look, um, but I guess it is what it is. I hope they find housing, and I hope they're safe in Miami. Yeah, you know, luckily, I believe Shakira probably you know, she has enough in her coppers to know. I'm sure she's gonna be fine. But yeah,

it's a it's a bullshit thing to do. Like, yeah, like your son cheated on her. Yeah, it's like literally your son couldn't be more at fault, and yet Latin men will persevere, you know how it is. Man, I got to have his back. I don't even care if I'm wrong. I got his Like, but you embarrassed him. If you didn't put it on blast like that, we would have taken care of you. But you embarrassed him. Yeah, and I know, and I know he didn't deny it,

but you know it is what it is. But it also shows like that I wonder is he like their eldest son or something too, because it's smacks of like, my baby wouldn't do that, right lying she wears the proof. I know you proof, but like not enough. You didn't see it like that evidence? Yeah, exactly. Oh so you were there, yeah that one. Oh so you were there. No, Okay, you know what, I don't know. I'm not gonna do

this your honor. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk some more trends right after this. And we're back, and so is Moanna. She's back. Shout out Victor. You know. One of our other producers put a video on the chat and I was like, what's this And I click on it and it's The Rock. He's in Oahu with his two little kids.

He is announcing that there is a live action version of mo Wanna in the work which we were talking off Mike, I felt, this is pretty soon like the movie. I feel like maybe it came out longer ago than I thought. But I was like, wasn't it like twenty sixteen? Like this movie is not that old? They're going to be exposed for how bad the development is, where they're like, Okay, fuck it, man IG's back, all right, we're a goal

with the Moana live action. They're like, we could maybe wait a few years and like that we could project put that revenue in another year that might be good for us, or like, no, we need that shit now. In two years, what we'll do is the animated version based on the live action version of Mowanna, and then we'll come back around and retread on that, and it's just a cycle. And then they opened the TV show and then it's a live action TV show and then

an animated TV show. Yeah. See, look, you can have a job at Disney right now. Development. I'm on the developing team. Yeah, exactly. We're all in that. We have the lowest hanging fruit ideas for things. Yeah, I don't know. I guess school. You know, I saw Mawana recently for the first time. Um, I guess, I don't know. You only saw Mowana. Yeah, I don't. I'm telling you. I after a fucking Lion King. I was out like the original Lion King. Oh yeah, with Jonathan Taylor Thomas, you

know what I mean. Doing all that shit like that version I think to like my age and then being La. I was like in La and like my mom being a film critic, I became so ja did about the shit I watched? Or like I was trying to keep up. I was like batting way out of my league, like movie wise to be like I don't have time for that, okay, Like I'm about to watch this new David Lynch film um and and hold on and not understand anything about it, and been like I was better off. I'm like I

was better off watching Lion King Kein. Mamuana was really good. I really did enjoy Muana. There are parts of it that are like questionable, but overall out of like the latest animated movies from Disney, it was one of the better ones. Like then, you know, Coco came out. Coco was like really incredible. I've come back around now too. I love I saw Coco, Yeah, Coco, and then didn't see but I saw seeing Red. Okay, what is it seeing red? Right? Is it seeing red or is it

just red or red? I don't know whatever. It was really good. That one was really good too. I really enjoyed it Turning Red Victor's on It turning Red. Thank you Victor, just like Victor on Bodega Boys. The fact

God just came through. Um yeah. The other thing is I used my brother in law's disney Let's account and then I didn't write this shit down and recently like my shit reset and I had logged out and then I'm I've been kind of I've been behind up, you're behind yeah, And I know he's listening and he's probably gonna text me. He's like, bro, here it is. Um, but anyway, mowanna let us know ze gang too soon or just the right amount of time? And is there

even a right time? Like in your mind? If they start doing these brown stories live action, I don't know if I want it, because you know what, I'm worth going to suck it up. I'm more they're gonna suck it up because, um, I feel like Coco and and Contho, well specifically Coco. As much as it I had a lot of Latino influences, there were still a lot of white people signing off on that one. So I'm like,

I'm terrified of what it's going to turn into. If they're like, we're gonna make it's gonna be like in the Heights again, you know, and the Heights was so bad. They were like, but we got an Asian director, And I'm like, okay, just because a lot of people of color were in the room doesn't mean it was wrong.

So many different ways, will they have all the Ecra Valuo being the live action version, because she was the vocalist right like, she was the one and she I saw her at an event recently she came with the red blood hamprint on her mouth because she's like, I'm pulling enough for Indigenous women that are experiencing feminist side right now. I was like, they're gonna be like she's too old now, you know, we'll see, but anyway, we'll find out soon. And then is the Rock is going

to be in it again? You know what I mean? They said he's going to be in it. He's gonna role of course, I mean, it makes sense. Who else you can find this? All that? When it makes sense for sure? And I hope they bring Mouana back, the actress that play Mauana. But I'm worried they're gonna be like she's too old, and then it's like going to be questionable all the decisions they make in the casting right next trend New York Times, Elon apparently took away

their blue check mark on Twitter out of spite. Oh my god, let me petyawn for fucking seven hour because I don't care about either of these people. And you're probably asking why did you bring it up on trends because I wanted to let you know what I'm yawning at this shit. If you were worried about Twitter being a reputable source, you know, I think we can for

sure see that. It's not not that we didn't already know that, but like they're taking away check marks, are going to pay for check marks, like yep, up, it is what it is. He's doing his own thing out here, and he can get mad at them and change the verified badge. It's just so weird, like being gone for six weeks off there. Like I'll put it this way.

Sometimes you have like someone you date and then you break up and you get back together, break up and get back together, but then you do that one breakup that's long enough. Yeah, that like when you get the like when they trying to do the X smash thing and you get that text, you kind of happens, No, actually, you know what this time it was to look, if you hit me up three weeks earlier, I might have right been back, But too much time is passing. I'm like, no, but then I miss out on a lot of the

borg trends, you know what I mean. I love talking borgs. But then I have you, Becca, to just send me the TikTok's of kids who are the cultural appropriational even with the borg naming. That's how I'm really I'm so online and sensitive that I'm like, why why is this white woman saying she got borg tings? So crazy? Like I think the gen Z kids, they're so online, they're forgetting that a vee is not oh yeah, is not

just TikTok slaying not. The most violent shit was when that one Taylor Swift fan said, Finn, yeah, you's getting worse if you follow her and that cycle and that story. Yeah, that girl, I can't remember her name is say my life, but I can see her eyes in my head and her horrible lash extensions. But she is a only fans person, and she makes a bajillion dollars only only fans. But she like went viral recently for ceticizing lesbians and women and then she was like, but it's okay because like

my boyfriend thinks it's like so hot. And then people were like, no, that's like part of the problem, Like it's not okay that your boyfriend thinks it's caught that you want to make out with women, because it means he doesn't see women as people and as lesbian relationships as valid like co op the male gaze to justify this, like what it was so crazy. It's like it's there's

like everything she says. And then like she even talked about how she needed to move apartments in La because like people were following her home because she kept identifying

everything about her La apartment. And then she moved into a new place and was like yeah, and on the corner there's the air wand and then people were like trying to be like hey, girl, like it's not that we care about you really, but if you already had a move once, maybe stop saying every detail of where you're like literally showing your apartment's window of view and the corners that you live off of, and you won't have to move again. And then she was like, y'all

are so sensitive on the internet. It's like it's like at this point, is it a bit like is it? Like? What is it? Yeah? Who knows? But all I know is I ain't gonna talk about her anymore anyway. All that to escape talking about Elon Musk. Do you see what we did? We had to go lead me to old shit and get our outrage, meet her up and finally the NBA, like I said, trend BA four twenty friendly.

Could it be because Myles and Jack got mad Boosty's official NBA show and they know about I'm like, I'm always here being like, so, what was we've gonna do make you better? I don't think so anything. I don't know if that's performance enhancing unless you're doing like a hot dog eating contest in Coney Island or some shit.

But anyway, there's like new agreement with the league and the players union coming out, and amongst other things, I just wanted to point out that the players will no longer be penalized for using marijuana under this agreement, so the marijuana has been removed from the drug testing program. On top of that, they'll be able to promote and invest in betting and or cannabis companies. I think that's

really important, especially like with legalized cannabis. We need more owners that are of color, considering the disproportionate amount of people of color who are in prison to this day for marijuana offenses, even small ass ones. So being able to have people with the kind of capital like in the NBA, also being able to invest in that thing is fantastic because I think somebody was saying, I think they're when I was in Seattle, people are telling me

to go hit up like Sean Kemp. I think Sean Kemp had like a weed store, and I was like, yes, exactly, and I will be loyal to them. I will. I will shop their brands first. But anyway, please be worker friendly, please please. Yeah, And that's a whole other one to go through anyway, but we shall see there. And they'll also be able to sign non gambling endorsement deals with sports betting companies. Also, players can invest in NBA and w NBA teams via players associations selected like a private

equity firm, which already we'll see how that goes. But the ability for them to have some kind of ownership, you'd love to see it. I will probably look more at that agreement to see what else is going on. In there, but it's nice to see. And that's that's about it for now. Hey, Becka, thanks so much for joining me. You can catch us well Me episode tomorrow. We can get to me tomorrow on the episode with my fantastic co host Jowell Monique Tomorrow morning, bright and early.

We'll see if Trump does take his wonderful walk to the courthouse. Will they get a mugshot, will he not? Will we see pictures of his tiny fingerprints? We don't know, will he even have to go to court? And maybe the Judge's like, oh, you know what if you don't feel like you don't have to. We will see, But more to come and we will talk to you later. Bye.
