Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend PCs. Oh, Mitch McConnell is a clearly a trend PC.
Yeah, mister will is like is schemic whatever episodes like, he is glitching out.
We live in the fucking matrix, moving people.
Move along, find a new angle, clear PC. That short show title is courtesy of Moniche on the discourt been killing it on the short show titles of late I'm Jack. That is Miles, thank you, and these are some things that are trending today.
Uh.
In between this morning's episode and this trending episode, we've been digging in a little bit more on on the UFO, like people's responses to the UFO hearings yesterday stuff. As this guy said, Yeah, David Grush, maybe less uh less just bulletproof than we might have thought at first. So I need to dive into some of the takes of the skeptics on tomorrow's episode when we get a little more research. But I will say I'm still cautiously intrigued.
Oh this is I mean, all all I'm saying is like, sure, I'm like this is interesting. But again, I'm not going to cross the bridge until I want to see a fucking cube in an ORB spinning around and shit, you know what I mean, Like I want to see a video clip or some shit where they're like this is.
Evidence, sang, you know what, I'd take an ORB in a cube at this point, all right, you know, like that's where I'm making Yeah, that's all I need.
But I don't know.
I will say, like the scientific orthodoxy isn't all just going to sit down together and agree the data is overwhelming, Like people resist up until the last possible moment. So like, yeah, even though there's going to be some skepticism, I I'm taking a look at like my own reason, like why I want to believe that I might not be the
most sober minded person about this. But also I think just from a broad historical perspective, it's important to keep in mind like this is how big you know, revolutionary changes and how we view ourselves in the universe.
Yeah, like think about how hard it was for heliocentricity to fucking go.
Around, Like this would be on par with that.
So I guess that's because one of the things that I kind of kept checking for I was like, so this is now not on the front page of any
of the major papers, not even Drudge. The Drudge Report, which is usually like we'll be able to sniff out a big story regardless of whether it's true or not, is not like has like one minor headline about it at this point and Thursday afternoon, so you know, part of me is like, do they know something that we don't and like this is all bullshit and being cooked up to distract from something or is this just how big revolutionary piece of information get digested where at first
people are like I get this guy said this thing, but right who the hell knows?
It is wild though too, because even like the Family Research Council, which is a really euphemistic name for a fucking hate group. Uh, they're even like they wade into like obviously this can't happen because Jesus, okay, let's move the fuck on, thank you stop, but like we do have a take, and it's that it's it's all explained in the Bible, folks, And then.
Yeah, because Jesus, all right, never mind, Yeah, yeah, I don't know about that.
Jessee Waters had a dude on yesterday who's like this guy who says he can summon orbs, like and I don't know.
He was obviously making fun.
Of this guy, and he's like, yeah, it started happening like after nine to eleven.
I was kind of going through a hard time. I started seeing these orbs and you're.
Like what, no, but that I mean that is probably the most effective way to discount this story would be to just start having like, there's no shortage of people out there who are like, yeah, I also believe in UFOs and here's why, because I had a thirty year romantic relationship with an alien species that was visiting me every night in my house, and like you just blend all of that together like as part of the yeah UFO cause, and then like that kind of diminished.
Let's stay focused on the non human biologics, folks.
Yeah, that's right. That phrase really really stuck.
It's it. It's different. It's like starry it does. Dude.
McDonald's seems to have noticed the hearings because they are now teasing a new spinoff restaurant brand called cos Mix cos and then Capital mc.
Yeah they are, and yeah they are.
The company will test Cosmics in a handful of sites in a limited geography. In early twenty twenty four, a little backstory. Cosmic is an allien from outer space who craves McDonald's food and a kid, and it's advertisements decades ago.
So the space ages upon us.
Yeah that?
Or like, are they also just feeling like that Grimace vibe too? They're like, man, people fuck with these dumb ass character Like what's going to happen when the Cosmic meal comes out?
Like what's TikTok going to do with that one?
Maybe? Like will they start?
We already were asking the question like did they do the whole Grimace thing with the idea? Like knowing they were like, Okay, there's actually this one podcast The Daily's like ice, you know, strong space, strong listener base and like very very low and all of our readings suggest that they are going to start talking about how this is grimmouth come and then uh, that idea will also be reflected on TikTok and then people like these videos like were they onto us before?
Did we just fall right into their trap?
No?
Will we get some food that seem like it's alien?
Come? Yeah?
Or the Cosmics it's gonna be like fries or like eat his pubes.
They're like, what's like a.
Basket like down in that area of the body. And why are you using this opportunity to sell curly fries? Such a weird choice.
You know, I love the thing with this cosmics things like, I still have no idea what the fuck it is that the only thing they said is that it's a small format concept with all the DNA of McDonald's, but with its own format concept.
Oh okay, it's an s f C Okay, okay, okay, it's.
An sc with with the DNA of m d's of course, said CEO Chris comes in s f C MC DNA like that's that was what they wrote on the board, and then they added an S at the end and then turned it into a dollar sign just because James Cameron did that with Aliens and boom. People think that's pretty cool. Anyways, I'll be there winding up just that shit.
Do a bank play moonshot, I have straight to.
Com double click on that for me, give me all the data, uh just full download deep dive.
Yeah, okay, let's five x that ship and do a bank play.
Okay, bank play, maybe bringing some of the hedge homies see what happens there and then just go fuck it.
Book our tickets to the moon.
Could we set up a call with like some higher up at iHeart and be like that TDZ bank play and just try and like bullshit business phrase our way through.
I think we could, Yeah, because there it's it's sort of like, you know what, I'm really curious about this now, I'm gonna start saying some shit like that in meetings. I think we're kind of missing, dude, We're missing the force for the trees here, guys. Yeah, we need to fucking hyper fuck this rocket ship. Load it up with straight up profit rockets, go to the fucking outer reaches of our universe.
Come back.
Obviously we're all going to be in santrope three X that ship, I don't know, call up the IMF boom.
Here we are where everyone that's right.
Fulton County is trending. So this is part of you know, We've been reading the tea leaves on Trump's social media suggesting that he feels uncomfortable about some pending UH charges that.
Might be coming his way.
People are like, is it coming from Jack the Giant Killer? Is it coming from the Fulton County? You know, all the stuff he did illegally on wax, like during the election, and we we just got another symptom. We're not sure, but barricades are being erected outside the Fulton County Corps roll.
I think it sounds like it.
There's also reports that Fannie Willis the DA basically said, like to clear the court schedule for the first two weeks of August.
Clear the schedule five x that ship.
Five x that ship.
Dude, take take some moon rocks, lick the baggy boom eyes go like dinner plates, roll away like a rollerblade.
I think, I mean, there's that.
And also like the chat like Lindsey Graham may get indicted too. Let's not forget that he also had a part like and he also was being investigated as part of this investigation. So I don't know if old dear old Lindsay also gets caught up in this mess, damn it.
But yeah, it seems like it.
And also the other reports say that the January sixth grain jury thing is also heating up, and apparently like trump stelayers have been told it's like.
Get ready, get ready over there to cheating up.
Yeah, all right, well, we will keep our eyes on the skies and on that story. Absolutely we're gonna take a quick break and we'll come back and hear about the cool stuff the studios are doing. We've been focusing so much on these dang striking people. We haven't focused on like all the cool stuff the.
Studios are up there.
Yeah, like hiring AI scabs. We'll be right back, and we're back. And while writers and actors are striking, according to the Hollywood Reporter, studios have been quietly posting.
AI related jobs.
I'm not sure how you loudly post jobs, but they've been doing it. Disney posted a bunch of AI positions technically under the umbrella of their theme park imagineering team, but one job, for example, requires having the quote ambition to push the limits of what AI tools can create and understand the difference between the voice of data and the voice of a designer.
Writer, or artist.
Oh fuck off, yeah that is that's so fucking gnarly.
When they're like, yeah, man, we need you to figure out how to fucking just smoke out the fucking humans so we can just.
Just turn set this fucking thing to five X man.
Thank you.
Actually, all right, so here's a crazy idea six Like we've been saying five, I just I was just sitting back there thinking, well what about six You.
Know what, get Bob Pittman's name off the door. Put Jack O'Brien's up there.
Thank you.
Netflix is similarly looking to fill a number of AI based jobs, including AI Product Manager, a job that will pay up to nine hundred thousand dollars because kids are rough, you know, it's the got to think about profitability at a time like this, and these writers are really screwing it up for themselves and everyone else, except for this job. We're gonna pay nine hundred thousand dollars a year that has to do with AI.
That is fucking wild.
Like one of the interesting things in kind of researching before Adam episode, like how the AI conversation came about the negotiations, Like in the early talks between you know, the writer's guild and the studios, like somebody brought up like maybe we should have some AI protections in there. Like ten years ago, the last time we had a labor dispute, we brought up streaming and like that they
completely stonewalled us. And that's how we realized, oh, they think streaming is the future and right, so they put very distant like AI protections in for writers, like you still need writers right on a project. You can't just
completely try and replace writers with AI. And they stonewalled them, like the studios were like, we're we will not engage on that, and it was like, oh, so, like it was like they were having a conversation about like being friendly, like you know, you're like you're not going to do the worst thing possible, and they were like, well, we can't commit to not literally stabbing you in the back by the end of this right dinner meeting.
Sorry, that's just like we just can't.
Commit to that, and we hope you understand, like that's obviously not in our best benefits.
Yeah.
Yeah, And it's also funny that there's a for AI ethics engineer that pays one sixty.
Yeah.
If you learn how to fucking turn these fucking computers into like human impersonators that are decent enough, you get nine hundred thousand.
But if you want to fucking help ethics, motherfucker, don't. I'm even surprised that's six figures.
That's a yeah, that's a sony position. The description is, uh, they want this position to quote advance AI so that it augments and works in harmony with humans to benefit society, which truly sounds like it was written by someone being held at gunpoint by a terminator.
Yeah, that's just straight up thank god if you have this most shit ideas though, like in these studios, but you know what they're gonna do, Like it's gonna be I'm sure someone has been like how many times we just think of like a pitch and we're like, that would actually be better iFIT this, you know, but we can't go back to them because and then they owe
that IP. So then what we can do is we can just go to this fucking AI and be like, hey, shit me out of script about this idea I just came up with on my yacht.
Yeah boom.
Like if you read so, it's like augments m DASH and works in harmony with m dash humans to benefit society. Like if you take the end works in harmony with like the sentence fragment they threw in there, and between m dashes its advance AI so that it augments humans to benefit society.
Yeah that's crazy.
Wow.
Yeah, and we're just trying to augment you to benefit society.
You horn that in because it was written like that. It's a little too on the nose. They're going to know where we're headed with this, okay, and work in harmony.
Yeah, we do like to, you know, keep our eye on any bullshit shortage panic stories. Yeah, you know there there was in years past, the Christmas tree shortages annual.
Yeah. Now now it's candy because it becomes.
It's huge, huge pickup.
Well, now the Wall Street Journal is reporting that we might be in for a whole lass sugar shortage.
Oh god, really why? Why?
Import restrictions, international competition, climate change.
Which is interesting to see that mention that part, like yeah.
Crop yields and things like that, That to me seems like the most believable thing. Obviously, I'm like, well that you can't that's happening. So yeah, I can imagine where that's going. But it's still like but the tone of it is still just worried to know if there's just gonna be enough candy.
For the twenty twenty three Halloween season.
Oh, candy for the children.
Yeah, and then all all of these shortages of the past. You know, the companies have totally made it work. I've knowed somehow there's never been a rear looking how did this candy shortage come to pass. It's always something that's prognosticating out into the future and trying to make people panic and panic buy stuff and be okay with price hikes. Yeah, well it's this is shortage, you know. Sorry, yeah, what do you want us to do? Our hands are tied. And finally, Ice Cube, Oh.
My god, this, I mean, this isn't surprising.
The right wing has been courting black men for the last couple cycles now. But Ice Cube, who obviously you know, he's got his own fucking weird views. He's out here with Tucker Carlson doing like a drive through the Hood type segment.
He was doing Pierce Morgan show. He's going on Joe Rogan and a lot of people are like, what the fuck is this?
And I'm like, well, first of all, that's that is kind of that's where Cube is at. But also this is part and parcel of like the way to try and siphon off black votes to more conservative candidates is by sort of normalizing this shit visa VI people like Ice Cube or Kanye West and all this other shit.
So it's a very this is so wild to see him in Tucker Carlson, like in a fucking car and like, yeah, just it seems like a joke, but when you zoom out and understand, like what this what the move is towards it.
Yeah, there's a lot to say for the right to make this happen.
Because they know, like black women, they are solidly voting Democrat, and then they see that I don't know if we can siphon off that vote. But with the men, you know, we got that got some like regressive policies and ship that kind of aligns with other shit, so maybe that could.
Be a reason.
And yeah, and you just see it more and more and more, and uh, this is like the same thing you say, even with Trump too, like although he was handing out pardons, it's all part of just sort of an optics fucking operation here to just make it seem like it's all right, it's all right to vote red, you know, even though these people are vile racists who will stab you in the back.
Actually won't, they'll stab you in the front.
Yeah.
All right, Well, those are some of the things that are trending on this Thursday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves, get the vac teams. Don't do nothing about white to premisey and we will talk to y'all time.
Fight fight
M hm.
