Hello, the Internet. I'm welcome to

0:02

this special episode of Zeit

0:04

Emitting Diode. Light

0:08

emitting diode is l e ED. So

0:10

this is z e ED. That is courtesy

0:12

of Johnny Davis.

0:14

I'm Brian. That

0:17

is Jamie Loftus, And

0:22

this is what's trending. Uh,

0:25

this is a tough one. It's a tough day

0:27

for trending. I don't know if it's because

0:29

it's the end of the week and the news

0:32

has beat me down into

0:34

a fine missed. But

0:36

watch something really happened in

0:38

like an hour? Yeah,

0:41

oh, nothing happening.

0:44

What's going on? Boring?

0:47

I wish something dramatic and

0:49

horrible would have Uh No,

0:52

I did not just say that. Um I

0:55

didn't. Uh. Here's what's trending,

0:57

guys. All right, let me cut, let me cut

0:59

to the chase here. Biden. Biden

1:02

won the ratings, all right, he

1:04

won the ratings battle. This

1:07

was something that people were paying

1:09

attention to because I

1:11

think it's just like they knew that

1:13

Trump would pay attention

1:15

to it. That like, going

1:18

up against Biden in the ratings

1:21

and he got smoked.

1:23

Uh, he gets smoked, folks. That's

1:27

yeah, I mean, that's fine. I guess at

1:29

very least like if

1:31

Trump did it to prove that he could

1:33

get higher ratings and then failed to do so

1:37

with a fund. I

1:39

mean, I certainly very helpful

1:41

for all those undecided voters.

1:44

Yeah, that was why I was like, who then

1:48

four? I found the Trump

1:50

one so troubling just because

1:52

of they found these

1:55

undecided voters, and it

1:57

made it feel like this is normal.

1:59

They so many undecided voters, just

2:03

like in the moderator's mouth like what so

2:07

using? Who is it

2:09

for? What is anything for? Where

2:11

are we? What's happening? There's definitely

2:14

more relaxing to watch Robinette.

2:17

Robinette just kind of talk

2:20

about his plans you

2:22

to sleep. Yeah, there's a new

2:25

Mariah Carey book. It's an autobiography.

2:27

Superproducer Anna Hosnie was giving

2:30

us a rave review of it

2:32

before we start recording. I'm

2:34

very excited to listen to it. I

2:37

got an audible book and then I returned

2:39

it because I thought I thought that, like,

2:42

have you ever gotten an audible book? Because he really liked

2:44

the person who's reading the book, But you're like, I don't

2:46

know if I actually liked the book. No. I

2:49

always get the book and then find out after

2:52

a couple of chapters, I don't like the person

2:54

reading it. Oh that's brutal. No,

2:56

I I got my

2:59

crush. Will Poulter read an

3:01

audible book. But guess what it

3:03

was Crime and Punishment, And

3:06

it's forty hours long. And

3:08

I listened to it for two minutes and I was just like, there's

3:10

this is not gonna No amount

3:13

of latent horn nous is going to make this go

3:16

by. Yeah, there are a couple

3:19

I've tried to audible infinite

3:22

jest, uh your your faith.

3:25

I've tried audible war in peace

3:28

and it's just daunting.

3:30

It's just like I I would need

3:33

to be in prison, I think to get through

3:35

these man. Crime

3:38

and Punishment is funny though crime? Why

3:40

do Will Poulter do Crime and Punishment? When you listen

3:42

to it, you're like, Will Poulter doesn't even know why Will

3:44

Poulter did Crime and Punishment? Like I think

3:47

he was just like, yeah, I've got forty hours,

3:49

I'm locked in my house. Who

3:52

knows who? Just

3:54

for the listeners, who is Will Poulter?

3:59

That's fine? He is

4:01

a who he was

4:03

in Midsummer. He's

4:06

the He's the guy that peas on the tree

4:09

is that hopeful. I

4:12

haven't. He's

4:14

the guy that vapes in Midsummer He's

4:16

the hacker in Bandersnatch.

4:20

That helpful, No, it should be

4:22

alright, Well, I'll just look him up

4:24

in my own time. This is not helpful. It

4:26

sounds like he's in a lot of very

4:28

widely seen things that I just

4:31

haven't watched because I'm not. Yeah,

4:33

he's I'm fully in love with him, and it's and and

4:36

and my boyfriends of the mind that it's

4:38

too attainable because no one knows who he

4:40

is. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

4:44

you could study up. You could listen to more

4:46

Crime and Punishment, more crime and

4:48

Punishment. No, it's not worth it, returned

4:52

carry instead if I recommends

4:54

his face eyebrows

4:57

guy him.

5:00

He's like a child actor. He I

5:02

recognize him from stuff

5:05

Chronicles of Narnia. Yeah,

5:08

yeah, he's from children's stuff.

5:11

He he's such a he

5:13

was such a well known child

5:15

actor that that

5:18

I can't not see him as a child. But

5:21

uh, that is Yeah.

5:24

His first three things are Maze

5:26

Runner, Narnia, and eyebrow.

5:29

I brought famously eyebrow, famously

5:32

eyebrow. Uh. Anyways, Mariah

5:34

Carey book apparently she starts singing.

5:36

She breaks into song. Had a very rough

5:38

upbringing, and you

5:41

get the dish on why she said I don't

5:43

know her to j Lo. So all

5:45

things, UM, I

5:48

am interested in hearing. I will probably

5:50

not read that book though. Uh, there

5:54

is so super predator was trending.

5:56

Uh why, I actually don't know why

5:59

you looked this one. I mean it just goes

6:01

back to a fake Trump tweet, um, where

6:04

he President Trump, I lentonevid

6:08

uh said um on Twitter

6:10

today that Biden freely uses the term

6:13

super predator, that being

6:15

a call back to the war

6:19

on Hillary Clinton. Yeah, that Hillary

6:21

Clinton said um, and so

6:24

he was sort of trying to get

6:26

the rumor going that Biden has been using

6:29

that term recently, um,

6:32

which is not only not true,

6:34

but there upon

6:37

a further investigation, no one can find

6:39

any record of him ever having said

6:41

that word, at least in public.

6:44

Ever. Yeah, it's

6:47

just not that's just not true. It's

6:50

a fake one. The there

6:54

there does seem to be this movement, um

6:57

that you're only really hearing from Trump's

6:59

side and people in the Conservative

7:01

Party, but that Trump

7:04

is going to pull out the

7:06

election because he's getting so

7:08

many more uh latin

7:11

x and black voters this

7:13

time that like he's going to make up

7:15

all the difference of all

7:17

the rational

7:20

people who are abandoning him

7:23

with I just

7:25

I don't know why. I

7:28

definitely is yeah, it definitely seems

7:30

like it's a strategy they're pursuing, UH,

7:33

based on this tweet. But I

7:35

don't I don't know why that

7:38

would be possible every

7:41

time some thing like I mean, yeah, I'm just like whatever.

7:44

Q Linda Lohan's rumors right,

7:48

the most famous UH piece

7:50

of music called rumors, and

7:53

Dwayne Wade was trending because he was walking.

7:56

This is a very interesting like series

7:58

of photographs. It's a

8:01

person getting down on one knee to propose

8:04

to his sweetie. And then in

8:06

the background, as this is happening, you

8:08

see Dwayne Wade is just walking by, like

8:11

taking a walk on the beach and like putting

8:13

his hand to his chest like oh be

8:16

as he sees this happening. And then

8:20

they like

8:23

have a picture with Dwayne Wade where

8:25

like they apparently were

8:28

like wait a second, shut up about your

8:30

engagement. Dwayne Wade is walking by

8:32

in the background, get him in here

8:35

for the It's like photographic

8:37

evidence that he was charmed by your

8:39

love. Either that or

8:42

Dwayne Wade saw them getting

8:44

engaged and it's just like such

8:47

a alpha like just

8:50

that he just like walked up and was like,

8:53

Hey, I couldn't help you notice that this is a

8:55

life defining moment. I'm

8:58

Dwayne Wade. Would you like a picture with me?

9:00

I mean, would you say? No? I was, I would

9:03

know that. I love

9:05

when famous people are randomly roped into

9:08

life events. When it's Bill

9:10

Murray, then I think it's annoying. Yeah,

9:13

it was fun for a while, But Hubie,

9:17

Halloween is trending,

9:20

and not just because I'm going to watch

9:22

it this weekend. Uh, it's

9:24

trending because one

9:26

of the news anchors in a

9:29

bit from the movie was recently

9:32

fired. So they got a real news anchor to

9:35

do a bit from the movie where she dressed

9:37

up like Harley Quinn and her

9:40

local news company fired

9:42

her. Uh so fuck

9:45

them. Yeah, I don't

9:47

like that at all because she had a little bit of fun.

9:49

Yeah, too much fun. They said

9:51

that she violated her contract, but

9:53

like, can you just imagine the a

9:56

whole boss that it would take to be

9:59

Like I don't like her appearing in

10:01

a movie like this thing that is like

10:04

far bigger and more popular than anything

10:06

that, like our local news station

10:09

will ever do me. Sounds

10:11

like someone that is a little

10:14

jealous. Yeah, someone's

10:16

like, what you should have had me dress with Harley

10:21

Quinn? Uh chow?

10:26

Who to dress up as Harley? Anyways,

10:31

somebody should hire that anchor.

10:33

Yes. And finally, Babylon

10:36

B is trending. Oh, Babylon

10:38

B. This was a fun one. This is another just

10:42

slow newsday. At the time of this recording, we're

10:44

reporting a Trump tweets God

10:47

but uh, Mr Trump

10:51

retweeted some uh,

10:53

some nonsensical article

10:56

from a publication called The Babylon Be and

10:59

it's got everyone talking. And here's why.

11:01

It's because The Babylon B is

11:04

the right wing Christian version

11:07

of the Onion and it's so

11:09

it's I mean, we know we know that,

11:12

Uh, there's this This

11:15

just this side of the political spectrum.

11:17

Uh has no sense of humor and

11:20

it makes no sense. But I browsed the

11:22

b a little bit. The Babylon Be great

11:25

name. Uh, first of all,

11:28

because their newspaper from inside

11:30

Babylon. Because our whole

11:32

culture has gone to heck, you know, absolutely

11:35

heck and heck and a hand basket

11:38

Jack. So there's so

11:42

there's on the Babylon B website

11:44

there is a five hundred

11:47

advertisements for Panda Express Early

11:49

they're accepting advertising money. Um.

11:52

And here are some of the top trending headlines.

11:55

Um, here's okay.

11:57

Facebook bands the Babylon B for being

12:00

too accurate. Biden

12:05

suggests stopping criminals by making

12:07

them slip on banana peals.

12:10

I'm just like this is brutal. Uh.

12:14

Trump attempts to catch hunter Biden in

12:16

a trap label free crack.

12:19

I'm just like this, It's just why

12:22

are they so bad at this? Jamie? Democrats

12:25

hiss and terror as a CB

12:28

pulls out crucifix. Uh.

12:34

Twitter shuts down entire network too

12:36

slow spread of negative Biden

12:38

news, Like, it's just it's

12:40

not even a pitch, it's not I

12:44

just I didn't know that that that

12:47

this had happened. And I

12:49

mean, I don't want to encourage these kinds

12:51

of websites, but they're so horrible that is funny

12:53

to me. Like if there was like some sort of uh

12:57

whatever, like traditionalist

13:00

life version of Reductress. Yeah,

13:03

a c B calmly answers questions

13:05

while typing up a pellet court decision

13:07

and cooking dinner for nine. Is

13:11

there anything she can't do? Your move

13:15

a c B continues to have it all.

13:17

Comma is unbothered. Uh,

13:21

yeah, no, it's so, you

13:23

know, they're just a quick plug for the Babylon

13:25

be. They're clearly doing some some good

13:28

work, and there's so many advertisements

13:30

for I wonder if that's targeted.

13:33

I'm like, maybe the Panta Express is just targeted

13:35

at me. I don't know, is um,

13:38

Yeah, I don't. I don't get any Panda Express just

13:44

myself. Wow,

13:48

I don't know what the fun that the algorithm

13:51

thinks I want Panta Express and it's

13:53

right, that's true. Yeah, what

13:55

was the story that Trump retweeted from

13:58

the Babylon b. Let's let's

14:00

check that out. I'm not sure which which

14:02

of these. Yes, it's difficult

14:05

when there's no sense of humor

14:08

on either side because

14:10

then, like, how old the hell is he supposed to know

14:12

that that's a joke when it's not even doesn't

14:15

even represent like it's not even joke

14:17

like in appearance. So it was the

14:19

Twitter shuts down entire network to

14:21

slow spread up negative Biden news,

14:24

and he says, wow, this has never been done

14:26

in history this includes his really bad interview

14:28

last night. Was Twitter doing this bringing

14:30

more attention to Sleepy Joe and Big Tea? Wait,

14:33

Who's big Tea? Is that? Hunter?

14:37

Big Tea? Hunter

14:41

a Big Tea, Big Tea, Big

14:43

big Tea? Is that him? Oh?

14:47

Maybe maybe

14:51

who is Big te See

14:53

now we're doing who

14:57

is and when you tweet, the

15:00

answer that Google gives you is Big

15:02

Tea is a twenty six year old part time

15:04

wig maker. Uh The

15:10

Londoner's real name is Tula. Uh

15:13

so I think that's probably who

15:15

Trump was referring to. You

15:18

were into sleep yeah in twenty

15:20

six year old wig maker Big Tea. Yeah,

15:24

I'm gonna apply to write for the Babylon By.

15:28

I wonder if they're accepting submissions.

15:30

I don't think you have the voice for the

15:32

Babylon be Jamie. I want to submit

15:35

an article or idea. Yeah? Um,

15:40

16:09

16:11

b Uh. I

16:14

wonder what the jokes are, oh

16:17

man, how to be a Perfect Christian? Like,

16:20

I wonder if there's a lot of not jokes.

16:23

It seems like most of their jokes

16:26

on their headlines would just be appropriate,

16:28

Like if they just ended with not not.

16:32

That seems a lot of not humor

16:35

um. So they

16:37

have it. They have a shirt that says I can win all

16:39

sports games through Christ, who strengthens

16:42

me. I

16:46

don't know what your reader is. I don't

16:48
