Trendraiser 10/13: Papi Trump, Ben Shapiro, Elon Musk, Six Flags, Amelia Earhart, GTA6

0:00 Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendraiser. That one courtesy of Vanadium Silver. A play on Hellraiser, Miles. Hellraiser.

0:12 What's, and that is.

0:15 That's a scary film. Oh, God.

0:17 Spooky.

0:19 Guy's got, I think his name's Needleface. He's got all these needles all over his damn face. Oh, Dad, it's not... Hey, pinecone, hey, pinecone head, what's your problem there?

0:30 Does your dad have to come with us on every....

0:34 Every time we're going to see Pinhead?

0:37 Pinecone Face?

0:40 Yeah, but you Pinecone Face.

0:41 Oh, you know this movie's bad. It's got H-E double hockey sticks in the title.

0:45 In the dang title right there.

0:47 Yeah, yeah.

0:47 Well, not anymore. We've changed the name to Trend Razor because we don't mess with that sort of stuff.

0:54 Like Edward, we care about your soul. Still watching Twilight. This guy's fucked.

1:00 Crazy bro he's crazy for this one robert yeah he's actually the more i watch it now i'm like oh this really is i think it was easy for me to dismiss he's playing some weird vampire by this third movie he's doing little affects that i'm like oh you're giving edward some real like i could feel he's always on the verge of tears when he's like talking to edward and i'm like that underrated i feel like that's i'm i'm starting to really appreciate robert.

1:26 Pattinson's performances that were because like at the time people were like by the third movie everyone was like he's so out on this performance that he's actively like tanking it and like i could be he thinks he's too good for the role but i do i think i don't know like he was probably doing something interesting with it.

1:48 I don't think like I don't think it's like objectively like this is one of the greatest performances ever. But I'm like, I fuck with Robert Pattinson because.

1:55 I only know he's bringing more to it than Taylor.

1:57 Now that I'm seeing it. Oh, poor Taylor.

1:59 Slightly more.

2:00 Come on, man.

2:01 I mean, Taylor didn't know he was going like up a toe to toe against one of the great actors of his generation.

2:07 You know, Taylor had the two of the great actors. Taylor had the better physique. You know what I mean?

2:11 So that's all I noticed at the time. That's all I noticed. I was looking this guy up and down. Has taken in his ass.

2:20 He has claws like a werewolf.

2:23 Claws is weird. Claws is like, that's not, that doesn't, anyways, we'll get to that. We'll get to that real thing. We'll get to that right now, actually. Let's talk about it. Yeah, Donald Trump had a rally in Ohio to help incumbent Senator John Husted. He just, he figured out that, uh, John Houston was already a famous person's name halfway through his last name. And so he just went, John Houston. Yeah.

2:50 Is it Husted? Husted. Yeah. Yeah. Husted.

2:53 Look, it's whatever you want it to be.

2:54 That name sucks.

2:55 You don't have to respect these fucking people's names to be honest.

2:58 Yeah.

2:58 Yeah.

2:58 Um, But yeah, he is currently running against Sherrod Brown, who used to be a senator, but was defeated by Bernie Moreno. He's trying to get back in office. Part of that blue wave may be coming.

3:11 Who knows, though?

3:13 But during the rally, first of all, before that happened, a woman was wearing a Release the Epstein Files shirt and started shouting down the president during.

3:19 A speech and protesting.

3:20 This dude fucking in the row in front of her hit her and pulled her hair And it was kind of like one of these things where the bystanders around were like, yeah, I mean, not like protesting, but yo, what the fuck is this?

3:35 And the cops came, let the.

3:36 Dude just go to the rally, man, even though you totally put hands on this person.

3:40 And probably remove the woman.

3:42 I would have to.

3:42 Oh, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

3:43 And Trump was like, get her out of there.

3:47 So then Trump had the honor of getting to, again, talk about the man of the hour.

3:54 John Haslam.

3:55 A former college football player.

3:58 My God, it was Trump. Very interested in his physique. And he wants you to let you know, he doesn't do this all the time, talking about how ripped a dude is.

4:09 Only like twice in the past week, I feel like.

4:13 Yeah, but I don't do this very often, as he likes to just give us that little caveat at the top.

4:18 And I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body. So that like that seems like the sort of thing in a past, you know, past presidents of like George H.W. Bush said that like that would be the pull quote and that would be it. But then he goes on because I didn't know he was a great athlete. And I looked and I watched up and down. I looked at his ass and I looked at the whole way. And then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He's got these like claws.

4:48 And I got it.

4:49 You are a great athlete.

4:51 I didn't know that because he doesn't talk about that.

4:53 Congratulations. Now they finally know. That was very good.

4:56 Congratulations on a great ass, man. They finally know.

5:01 Congratulations on your ass.

5:03 They finally know. Yeah, so he's got a great ass.

5:09 He got a great ass. And I got my head. All the way up it.

5:15 But then he also wants to let you know he wasn't done being like, I don't know. I got to just say real quick on the claws thing. Uh-huh.

5:23 Go ahead.

5:23 That doesn't seem like big and athletic. That seems like shriveled and like not, you know, like claws would. I'm picturing like a witch's hand or. Yeah.

5:35 You know what I mean?

5:36 Like, I'm not. I'm not picturing, like, mammoth meat paws. You know, I mean, I guess if he had said, like, bear mitts or something, you know what I mean? Like, that would be the thing that... Maybe he.

5:47 Just saw swingers. And that whole point, he's like, you've got these fucking claws, man.

5:51 Oh, interesting. Okay, yeah.

5:53 So that has been used before to be like... That could be, you know, I'm trying to... A little weird.

5:57 Trying to die with the weird man content from yesterday. Sure, sure.

6:00 Claws is like a cool thing as you tear apart a rabbit. Yeah, that's like all gentle lovers. So then, but he does go on, he's like, this guy doesn't have a, it's not only just a great fucking ass.

6:13 Yeah, he can't stop himself.

6:14 Look at this fucker's face real quick. Look at that jawline, I'm telling you.

6:23 I never saw that. He's getting all up on the mic. I say, look at that jawline.

6:29 Look at the jawline, he's tough as hell.

6:32 He's tough as hell.

6:35 What else, what else?

6:37 Also, I looked at this man.

6:38 Yeah, I know.

6:40 I was expecting Chad City, USA. No. I was expecting to be in Jordan. Chad City, USA. You know what I'm saying?

6:53 I mean, he looks like the guy, who's the actor who played Peter McAllister?

7:01 The dad from Home Alone? John Hurt.

7:03 Yeah, that's what he looks like. He looks like a standard issue. 50-something, 60-something-year-old white man.

7:10 That guy is also a John H. Just so you know. John Hurd, the actor. They all have this.

7:16 He looks like John Hurd if you just lightly blur your eyes. It looks like his face is so smooth. He has no facial, not even like in a filtered way. He just has like a very nondescript face.

7:29 Yeah. Like his face has been painted onto him or something like that. Yeah. Yeah.

7:33 Exactly. By a beautiful artist.

7:34 By a beautiful artist.

7:36 Beautiful jawline.

7:36 Who can really appreciate the male form. You know what I'm saying? It is just weird. Like this has just been an open thing for a long time where people are like, yeah, Trump has the vibes of like a kind of queenie old man.

7:49 Oh, yeah.

7:50 Yeah.

7:50 You know, and we're fine with that. And his homophobic supporters seem to be fine with it as well.

7:58 There's something because I think, you know, deep down, people are like, yeah, that's I don't know, man. I think because it's like anything Trump says, it doesn't matter, you know, what their previously were. So even if they are, they'd be like, hell, yeah, he's got a great ass.

8:14 Yeah, man.

8:15 He'd be like, we gotta protect girls in sports or some other weird shit. So there's no consistency. Look, and if you got a great ass, sometimes things are objectively like a great ass.

8:24 Yeah. It's fair. It is one of the coolest things he's ever said. It's just so funny that his... The crowd is so behind him on it while also being genuinely, generally knee-jerk homophobic people.

8:37 Yeah, no, of course, that's what I'm saying.

8:39 There could be something magical about John Husted's ass, though, that even someone with these deeply entrenched problematic views goes, I gotta give an award out when.

8:49 I see it.

8:50 I think that's the investigative reporting that we have to do is we got to find some footage of this guy's ass. Because I was not impressed by the jawline. I got to tell you, Miles.

8:59 I'm on it. I'm on it. Also, the next day, today, after that rally, Trump was like, yeah, now he's up.

9:06 In the race.

9:07 Just looking at the polling.

9:09 I said that thing. And now.

9:12 He's up giant.

9:14 Sherrod Brown is, in fact, up three points right now. So he's still trailing. But I mean, Trump's internal polling. And by that, we, of course, mean the polling inside his head. All right. We were talking yesterday about like how maybe it's time for Ben Shapiro to hang it up because this whole thing is like I'm a public facing public figure who when I comment on a baseball team and that team loses everybody assumes it's like a curse by me like just people people don't like him uh the movie that he was making danny trejo's son had to come out and be like i don't he doesn't know who that is just to try and sick.

9:53 Face getting a check from him yeah exactly.

9:55 So it seems like he should start to figure out who he is This. So it was just announced a real egg on my face. Um, or I guess I should say egg on like all of these fuckers faces because it was just announced that he wrote a movie that is starring Rob Lowe, Nick Nolte, James Franco, Emile Hirsch. So James Franco and Emile Hirsch, I think to be expected, like they, I feel like they've both been, uh, very various levels of canceled. Right.

10:29 So like, They're probably in a room with a team who's like, these libs, you know? These libs are fucking with your career, man. Fucking with your paper. So that maybe is to be expected. Jennifer Jason Leigh. Girl, what are we doing? Hey, man. Hey. The kid from Power of the Dog who was so good doing the hula hoop kid from Power of the Dog? That shit was an indelible performance. Dean Morris. the fuck yeah from from breaking bad.

11:02 I'm i don't it's like all these things i feel like every time we've a few times when these like right wing kind of movies come out people go like oh i was in another thing that got licensed by this company but ben shapiro wrote this script.

11:15 Ben shapiro wrote this script it is being like aired so congratulations you guys are in a movie that premieres in a hundred theaters the same day it goes live on the daily wire yeah so that that's the distribution strategy for this one.

11:32 I'd imagine just from them doing it i go they all are probably just conservative that's.

11:37 Right that's they have to be or at least on some like where it matters they are.

11:41 Right yeah yeah truly i mean like i i i'm sure if you dig deep into their hearts like you know give a shit about anything.

11:48 Like i mean is this like are these is this the lagging tail of the decisions that people were making a year and a half ago when it seemed like there was going to be this Trump takeover of all culture. And they're just like, yeah, OK, here we go. This is our new future. You know, we star in movies written by Ben Shapiro. He's going to be the only person who's allowed to write movies soon. So we might as well get started. You know what I mean? And then, you know, Elon did the Nazi salute and, uh, Trump fucking tanked the entire country. And now, now it's become less popular, but I just wonder if these are people just being like, trying to read the direction things are going and being like, well, yeah, I don't have any

12:35 ideological beliefs one.

12:37 Way or another, you know, they don't. Hey, I don't, they just strike me. It doesn't matter. You know what I mean? It does. Yeah. It does.

12:44 Right.

12:45 It just doesn't matter. It's a job. Fine.

12:48 Great.

12:49 And I think that's also part two is I think like being like, Rob Lowe, you're in Parks and Rec.

12:56 You too.

12:57 It's just like at the end of the day, these people are used to living a certain way. And if there's money being offered for the job that they do, then they're going to take it.

13:05 Floating along obliviously is kind of the vibes that I'm getting from Rob Lowe. Yeah, yeah.

13:10 I just, God, I mean, I just was really counting on Nick Nolte.

13:16 To be star.

13:18 Yeah. It's just, you hate to see good things happen. And like, so the content of the movie, it's called, I think the interrogation or confession, uh, it's called confession. And, uh, it's about somebody being interrogated by James Franco in Stalin's Russia. Like, I think it's, I think Rob Lowe is playing a professor, great casting guys. Yep. The deep intellectual rigor of Rob Lowe is playing a professor and he's having to be interrogated by all these different people. And I'm sure, you know, Stalin, Russia, I'm sure that they will presumably draw a bunch of parallels between authoritarianism and And, you know, people thinking that we should have health care.

14:03 Yeah, yeah, exactly. That'll be one of the things he's being interrogated about. What's this? I heard you say that people deserve health. Oh, we actually do have health care.

14:11 Yeah.

14:12 Soviet Russia.

14:13 So it ends on a line. Have you ever seen a child starved to death by Nick Nolte? Which is something that Ben Shapiro would gladly have happened to prevent socialism. So anyways. Interesting.

14:27 I'm glad that there's a place for the actors that have been forgotten.

14:32 Yeah. It's the Daily Wire.

14:35 And Jennifer Jason Leigh hasn't been forgotten? What is she doing? What are you doing? I mean, maybe she has. I haven't been on her career.

14:41 No matter. We're past that, I think, with these people.

14:45 All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back.

15:00 Back.

15:01 Uh, let's see. The Republicans are quitting on a couple more races, uh, house races.

15:08 In this case, they've quit on now three house races where there's just like official, like they're like, okay, no more money for these races.

15:15 Okay. Can't give them another fucking cent because you know, I.

15:19 Think their internal data suggests there's no point in wasting more money trying to fight off, uh, democratic challenges. Um, And I think it's just, you know, again, the triaging is continuing. But as they are trying to figure out the most efficient way to hold onto their seats without pissing more money away, they do have Elon Musk stepping in because my God, he must, I think I have a feeling he's really going to do everything he can to hope that there's never a Democrat president or, you know, full on Congress because he's spending like his fucking life depends on it. He's already put in, $ 366 million in this cycle.

15:59 Okay?

16:00 That's a lot of money.

16:02 $ 366 million.

16:04 How is that legal? That's because it's just like a PAC. Yeah, just give it to the PAC. Give it to the PAC.

16:10 Give it to the PAC, dude.

16:11 Don't matter. That's how I get things done.

16:14 I mean, the latest amount that he put in was $ 158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund.

16:21 Ah, what a good system.

16:22 Everyone is like, what are we going to fucking do? The only, even though these numbers are fucking terrifying, just as numbers generally forget, let alone numbers being spent on fucking political ads. The ad spend hasn't been as effective because none of these fucking candidates are actually doing anything or appearing in any way to want to actually offer something different to voters. in terms of like you know cost of living being the biggest thing right now uh yeah so yeah 158 million we'll see where that goes like i said yesterday they're already people were spending money in the wrong portland uh trying to win the senate.

17:00 Race right it's just too much money for them to know what to do with too.

17:03 Many fucking dummies doing it so yeah yeah scattershot.

17:08 I feel like just uh an all purpose Democrat, you know, how the Republicans have the all purpose. God, don't we love Trump ad? I feel like an all purpose Democrat ad where it's just like Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute. Elon Musk's comments on like, you know, white supremacy and, you know, saving the white race. And then just that is who is spending furiously trying to prevent us from taking power. I think that would be would be smart.

17:37 I think sadly, him being a Nazi isn't terrifying enough to people sure it's probably gonna have to be something about like why your disney plus subscription went up and sure on musk's fault yeah billionaires generally spelling spending yeah yeah yeah i guess the the nazi salute is like icing on the cake it's a little flavoring it's more of those things if you know you know yeah yeah then you're like oh yeah that that's that's disqualified that's bad.

18:04 There's a terrible story out of six flags that i don't know how much we want to get into it other than just to say that i'm now as a roller coaster lover like i have heard from multiple people being like you shouldn't ride roller you're in your 40s man what are you doing um and now.

18:21 I'm saying why why like for your health or something like.

18:24 For your health and like that they are dangerous like that it's something that and that a man fell out of one.

18:32 Um that's in georgia right Yeah, and they.

18:36 Closed nine roller coasters across six amusement parks that used the same type of restraint because they were like, well, so this restraint doesn't work.

18:45 Oh, it was a Goliath there.

18:47 Yeah, there's a Goliath here at Magic Mountain.

18:50 That is the sort of thing that I would have loved to go on prior to the story. So anyway, stay safe out there, people.

18:57 It's just like one of those things, too. It's the... For the... for the longest time we're like these are the safest fucking things you could be.

19:04 On right that's what i thought yeah there's a lot of things private equity a lot of private equity going through coursing through the veins of uh all manners although i wonder too if you looked up stats like to like uh in the 80s and 70s there were a fuck ton of roller coaster i feel like there's also yeah there could just as easily be as many it's just that maybe they don't Arise to the level of being total national.

19:27 Yeah that back then it was that everyone was right It's like the same thing with like texting and driving like now far fewer people are driving drunk, but they are all texting It's like now, you know Fewer people are operating these rides drunk and stoned but they are also having every cost cut by uh, you know, they're on their fifth 24 hour shift doing, right. Operating this ride.

19:53 All right. Uh, big news in the world of, um, Amelia Earhart, former, uh, icon. Um, that was actually a really fun episode. We like, um, digging in. I, I kind of only knew her as a pilot who disappeared, uh, And digging in, she was like the Johnny Knoxville of her time. She was just like, you're crazy for this one, Amelia.

20:18 That or I'm just good at what I do, baby. It's what I do.

20:22 But yeah, so it sounds like, and this is like a common thing, this now feels like We just heard about it.

20:27 We found Noah's Ark. And everyone's like, no, you fucking did it.

20:30 Yeah. There's a lot of a lot of scans from above scans from on high.

20:36 So researchers are now they're saying that they believe they have found the final resting place of her Electra airplane or Lockheed 10E Electra airplane. They said a 17 person expedition was inspired by satellite image taken over several years. showing a submerged object in the uninhabited island Sandy Lagoon.

20:57 And the island is around where her last radio broadcast came from. Right, exactly.

21:03 People said they hope it'll be the wreckage site.

21:06 Separate aerial footage of the area suggested the submerged object has a metallic glint.

21:11 But, I mean.

21:13 Earhart enthusiasts have pointed out like, well, yeah, we've definitely looked around here.

21:18 I've looked there.

21:20 Yeah.

21:21 But it's hard. It's hard to say because, you know, like it's a big apparently it's a big island. So I was out on this because it seems like this happens every handful of years. Someone is like, I saw this. Like, we got this amazing scan from the bottom of the Pacific in the exact shape of an airplane. And then that person has to, like, come out and do a press conference being like, it was the cruelest rock formation.

21:48 It was actually the shadow of the airplane we were in.

21:51 Yeah.

21:55 And then I watched an NBC News national news broadcast on the story, and it got my ass back in. I'm back in! I think it might be.

22:06 Okay, so let me say why the things that probably had you out at first when you read, because people who have searched before have said, we've been there, we most likely think it's probably a fallen tree, but we do, but they did say, but like they looked in 2001, 2007 with metal detectors, couldn't find anything. They said if there was something there, we would have found it, but they did.

22:30 They do agree.

22:31 That's like, but we do believe also that that is probably the area.

22:35 If there, if there is an area, we would also believe it too.

22:38 So they've been looking in this general area since the month after she disappeared. So that, yeah, that was the thing. And like, you know, the, thing that the only thing that's really changed is that people are still like equally eager to find the plane. Um, and I feel like our media has gotten a little worse at fact checking shit like this. And our economy is now mostly scam based flotsam. Um, and the idea that, you know, the, the rules of entropy and times there would suggest, uh, you know, the, the plane did not get less scattered and like more intact over time. Um, but I, I, that, that was more of a problem for me when I thought it was on like submerged in the ocean, but this appears to be like on kind of a sandbar

23:26 and in like a bit of a lagoon. Um, but I loved it. So one of the things that, um, one of the treasure hunters, the people who are like going also don't seem like scammers. Some of them seem like academics. Um, and one of the guys goes, it's a big Island three by one mile. So it's not Tom Hank and cast away. Tom Hank is so funny to me.

23:52 He did reverse dad.

23:56 Yeah.

23:56 He did the opposite of my dad who adds S to like Brad pits.

24:00 Yeah. All right. It ain't Tom Hank.

24:03 It ain't Tom Hank. It ain't Steve job. Um, yeah. So I don't know if it's a big enough Island and you're just like, yeah, we were just kind of searching with those metal detectors on the beach. Like, 60 year old men on the Jersey shore, then maybe this you scan, you know, maybe the advent of fucking satellites is a thing that is going to be significant. And we, we just found her ladies and gentlemen, we got them under. Yeah.

24:35 I just like, I mean, I think the people who are invested in also finding Amelia Earhart, they don't have, it's not going to prove some weird fucked up conspiracy theory finding, So that's why I'm like, I understand this pursuit and I feel people are doing it in good faith, unless it's like the kind of thing you do to just scam people to fund your expeditions every time.

24:58 Yeah.

24:58 We're closer, man.

24:59 I see like 300K, dude. I'm serious. And you get a piece of it.

25:03 I did picture them, like, going to look on this Pacific island, drinking drinks out of, like, hollowed-out coconuts and pineapples. But the NBC News story did make it look like it was a tremendous bummer, like, that you have to, like, get through very rough seas on a little boat. And everybody was like, oh, my God, there's the island.

25:26 Thank God.

25:28 They get shipwrecked.

25:29 Yeah, a luxury group.

25:32 Miles... Nudity in video games. It's a thing that's been going on since, and I didn't realize this, but I do now, after our most recent, this coming Monday's Icon episode, I didn't realize that the ghosts from Pac-Man went nude in the original Pac-Man. Did you know that? Yeah, the little sheet came off of them.

26:03 What?

26:04 And they're like little pink bits of organ meat underneath. They look gross.

26:09 Oh, yeah. What is this? What's wrong with them?

26:14 Anyways, long history of nudity in video games, starting with Pac-Man and now.

26:19 So Grant's too.

26:21 Grant, I know.

26:23 Considering where we're about to go with it.

26:26 Yeah, now Grand Theft Auto 6, a leak revealed that the game will feature full frontal nudity. Not just in cut scenes. There are shots of the character Jason running around Vice City naked. So maybe don't steal any cars with leather seats while you're doing that.

26:45 I mean, do we see butts? I think you're going to see butts. Are they going to see... There's full-on sex organs, too?

26:54 Yeah, I think so. I think it's like full on. He's hanging dork.

26:58 Oh man. Well, um, cool.

27:02 Yeah. And like the naked character can still reportedly pull out guns from somewhere on his body and, uh, weirder still. And this, this is what made me think maybe this is a glitch is that pedestrians seem unfazed by both the gun and his flopping penis. Yeah.

27:24 Look, it's America in 2026, I'm sure.

27:29 So I was like, this has to be a glitch. This isn't something people would put in a video game. And then the follow-up is that Zelda Breath of the Wild also has nudity, but theirs is programmed into the game so that Link is running around in his underwear and other characters are responding to it and being like, hey man, why aren't you wearing clothes? Get some clothes on. Again, just such a weird choice. Why are we doing that?

27:57 Real shame.

27:58 You gotta have a culture of shame to be able to see a nude in the street.

28:02 We are just shameless. I mean, yeah, there's a.

29:14 Breath of the Wild is the first Zelda game that allows Link to wander the world in the nude. Not completely nude, but in his underwear. So players are taking advantage of the opportunity and welcoming the breeze between their knees. This is from a Mashable article. The non-player characters that inhabit the world aren't ignorant of Link's nakedness. So this is, they're just like, yeah, we gotta, we gotta make this possible.

Just reading a lot of like tributes. Brian Cranston posted, I'm in deep despair as I write this tonight. RJ, my sweet son on Breaking Bad has died. I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr.

30:19 A part.

30:19 He played with such joy and enthusiasm, born with cerebral palsy. He never, ever allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head-on with great determination, always listening to the advice that his TV parents, Anna Gunn and myself, gave him, but being a teenager, sometimes mischievously ignoring the counsel in order to learn the hard way.

30:38 He was one of the stars of a hit TV show, but still a kid. Yeah, I didn't realize 14.

30:43 I didn't realize 14 is so young.

30:45 Yeah, yeah. All right.

30:47 Very, very sad. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this October 13th. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines while you still can. Get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
