welcome to another episode of the worst of the best podcast I your host Ryan and with me today of course is my brother
0:41
Jason how you doing doing good brother how are you good the uh elusive iron main episode who knows when it'll be out
0:47
it may never happen I don't know I my friend he's ghost to me not really he's busy he's a busy farm hand really he's
0:53
Alberta with his big family and they run a farm they're winterizing right now and his life is busy now it's going to
0:59
happen one day I just say that for the few people that are wondering where it is because I actually have a listener who uh I'm friends with who's like hey
1:05
I'll will do an Iron Maiden episode with you so he's got another album that he wants to do with me so that might happen as well in the new year but this year is
1:11
not quite over yet I think by the time this episode comes out Jay it's for intensive purposes this year is over
1:17
regarding Google's results of their top searches this is one of my favorite things that we do at the end of the year there's two of our episodes that we do
1:23
at the end of each year that I quite enjoy one is our Google searches top Google searches and of course the
1:28
celebrity deaths which we officially can't record that until the like literally January 1st is the earliest
1:34
because people have died December 31st yeah Betty White being a great example of that we got to wait you gotta you
1:39
know fingers crossed we got some big ones before the year's over all right it's funny it's behind the curtain
1:45
here Jason and I will often send I'll just send him a gift you know of a of an actor or whatever and it's 90% because
1:53
that person's died you know basically who can yes right who could who could share the news of a celebrity yeah
2:00
before the other one does yeah it's fun to do but Jason we are doing Google
2:06
searches I originally did this like the top whatever 11 Google searches like H
2:11
it's a little bit too much of the same topics on that so what I did was let's do the top one or two per categories
2:19
what we're going to do at the end of this episode though is we're still going to say what we think is the worst one or two we can get maybe a couple picks of
2:26
what we think is the worst search and the criteria for that is totally your
2:31
own Jay you can do you don't care about the topic you don't want to search more that's kind of what we've done in the
2:36
past is like okay now you have to go Google more or do you agree with this search like some of them are pretty
2:42
obvious why they're there and I probably added to the algorithm myself and we'll talk about that okay let's start right
2:48
away Jay with the top Global so this is
2:54
worldwide and yes our American and Canadian listeners people search on
2:59
Google outside of our countries and so when these top three searches came up Jay I was like huh well we should also
3:05
say that we have Global reach oh right of course so we have to cater to our
3:12
Global fans I know we have some Australian and some UK listeners but do we have any South American listeners out
3:18
there I don't know because this first one Jay is Copa America you're like Jay if I told you what that was yesterday
3:25
would you know what that is no I mean obviously the word America would ring a bell but
3:31
Copa I don't know what Copa means maybe cup American Cup maybe you know a better podcast would have translated this but
3:37
it doesn't matter this is the top search it doesn't matter no translations required J South America's biggest football or as we North Americans say
3:44
yes soccer their biggest football tournament isn't just about the game it's about national pride Argentina and
3:49
Brazil's rivalry has Deep Roots and this year's Showdown was intense Argentina's
3:55
Victory led by i' think I've heard of this guy's name Lionel Messi have you heard of that name yes I've heard of
4:01
Lionel Messi a few times in my life I have too but I think it's just this year probably because of this just so people
4:08
understand this is the number one search thing in the world that's insane this football tournament was the number one search thing in the world well he he
4:14
plays for Miami now oh does he play for an American team yeah I mean obviously
4:20
I've heard of him because of his Global prominence he is now in the last couple years couple Seasons he's uh played in
4:25
Miami pretty sure he's still there that's a recent development so his current team you're right Jay is
4:32
inter Miami right better known as inter Miami CF or simply inter Miami they're American professional soccer club based
4:38
in the Miami Metro Area wow that's a big name to get I think isn't it oh it's huge yeah pretty much him and Ronaldo
4:46
would be like the top two people you'd ever want on your team and I'm not sure who he played for before that but to be
4:53
able to for him to to have left that team and then bring him to America is
4:58
it's a pretty big deal right he led Argentina Jason to the
5:04
victory of cop America but it wasn't just the win on the field it symbolized
5:09
Triumph during tough times for Argentina see Brazil on the other hand faced backlash for hosting the tournament
5:15
under political and social unrest and to make it Messier I get it Messier Brazil you like
5:22
that you like that okay to make it Messier Brazil's president Yar bolsonaro
5:27
tried to ride the team success for political gain so the loss to him and his country hit doubly hard o there you
5:35
go so they lost on home turf in Brazil so I have to be honest I did not
5:40
appreciate the fact that he is from Argentina oh that he himself Messi yeah
5:46
yeah but now I see his jerseys I kind of Googled I see his jerseys the blue and white which I believe is an Argentinian
5:52
colors yeah I did not realize that he is from Argentina again it might be just
5:58
the the mudding of where he plays professionally and I just yeah he's played in Barcelona Barcelona that's
6:04
right so I just thought he was from that area did not realize he's from Argentina yeah he was there from boy he was there
6:10
from 2021 so there you go so that's fair to think that you think that sure okay
6:15
so UFA European Championship the Euros or Europe's Premier football tournament
6:21
and this year was no exception Italy's nail biting penalty shootout win against England made headlines for Italy it was
6:28
a glorious retreat turn to the top but for England it was another heartbreaking loss the game's controversial referee
6:34
calls and tactical debates kept fans and analyst searching for every detail I
6:40
never heard about the controversy are you aware of the uh the game's controversial rough Rec call no I I kind
6:47
of want to think that maybe I saw something but I mean soccer is not on my radar but I may have seen something but
6:54
I want to pretend I know something that I don't know specifically there's a few throughout the tournament there was a
7:00
Spain versus Germany there was a handball incident England versus Netherlands there was the referee
7:05
awarded a contentious penalty to England Scotland versus Hungary another one was penalty appeal was denied so I guess
7:12
throughout the tournament there was a heavy search for this tournament because there were some controversial penalty and this is of course happens in sports
7:19
but yeah I I kind of think that the England one was like right at the very end of the game the one against Italy
7:26
yeah for Italy like England's penalty against Italy was at the very end of
7:32
that game if I remember correctly I think the one you're talking about was seminal there was a big one England and
7:39
the Netherlands the penalty was awarded to England so in the first half referee Felix weer awarded a penalty to England
7:45
after Denzel dumre was judged to have fouled Harry Kane the decision was contentious with many feelings it was
7:51
harsh the Netherlands Captain Virgil Van djk expressed his frustration noting
7:57
that the referee quote ran back inside straight after the full-time whistle which he felt says a lot interesting
8:02
kind of ran away in shame so adding to the controversy Felix weer had previously served a six-month ban for
8:09
his involvement in a 2005 match fixing Scandal why is this guy allowed to referee ever again that's crazy there
8:16
you go so that's probably why this was highly searched there you go his OPP so so there's there's all these little penalties or whatever and then they
8:22
question the referees that are involved in yeah this guy's already been he's already been he's already been caught doing stuff illegal why is he even
8:29
allowed back in that's crazy there's not enough referees in the league could you imagine being a referee and not allowed
8:35
to referee in the tournament because this guy that was banned is refereeing the game no kidding that would be weird
8:42
too so that was the number two again we're not even talking Sports we do have a sports category by the way this is just globally so here's number three Jay
8:49
another Sports I would never have guessed this but I guess we shouldn't be surprised again this is America and
8:54
Canada there are other countries out there with people millions of people that live in them Cricket IC CC men's
9:00
T20 World Cup crickets short format high energy tournament had everyone on the
9:05
edge of their seats Jason England again took home the title after defeating India but the tournament wasn't just
9:11
about the action on the field extreme heat during matches raised concerns about player safety and the tension
9:18
between Cricket's Colonial roots and its modern-day Global fan base added layers to its appeal you think India would have
9:24
the advantage with the heat yeah hot's hot right I guess so yeah all right Jay
9:30
why don't you start with the first one uh news now we're in the categories here so that was just worldwide resarch
9:35
results now we're going to break this down to categories in headline news what was the number one what do you think the number one search was in headline news I
9:41
wouldn't know exactly specifically what it would be yeah yeah it's the US election having said all that it'll be
9:47
interesting to see if uh when we do this next year if these Alien Invasion will creep into the they came in they came in
9:54
it came in too late at the end of this particular year but we'll see where that goes did hear the latest about why there
10:01
are drones in New Jersey and why they're there why they're at night I'm not quite sure the nighttime my biggest concern
10:09
there's theories right sure is if they are sniffing for a dirty bomb yeah a
10:15
dirty bom or nucular yeah you brought up at night why night well I think that's when they get the best signals for
10:21
radiation so drones are at night for radiation seeking long story short a guy who one of the top CEOs of a drone
10:28
company in the US released his theory he says look I make drones I'm the CE of a drone company this is I know exactly the
10:34
guy you're talking about yeah forget his name goes this is just my guess because how drones operate what they're looking
10:40
for and the reason why there's reports of higher radiation in New Jersey in that area it's not because of the drones
10:45
aren't giv the radiation they're looking for radiation because a nuclear weapon would actually leave a radiation
10:51
Trail we'll see if we have headlines next year I was I was just about to say
10:56
we may not even have a podcast well we barely have one as it is but
11:02
that's true so nuclear fallout may or may not make a difference to us and our followers but we'll be doing our our
11:09
podcast from the bunkers that'd be awesome know that yeah this is uh Ryan Jason out there talking to whoever's listening keep fighting free
11:17
Power all right go ahead and read the right up there on the US election why were these such a draw this year obviously there was the reelection right
11:24
for the presidential seat that's going to become available on January 20th so Donald Trump's re-election campaign
11:30
brought the drama this year from voter suppression allegations to fiery debates him have an assassination attempt or two
11:37
would help bring in the Google searches oh absolutely yeah yeah of course love him or hate him people couldn't stop
11:43
Googling him his wind fueled questions about the future of us and what his second term could mean globally sure
11:50
yeah I mean obviously four years will answer that question so again we'll see in four years day at the end of his term
11:56
what kind of headlines we'll have it'll be very interesting to see what those headlines would be but yeah goes well saying the elections themselves every
12:03
four years is going to draw a lot of news and Googling but this one was a very passionate which is fine we like
12:08
that in fact I encourage that it's good to have that passion right people are investigating they're learning they're looking into things that's how you make
12:15
I feel that's how you should make a a vote informed thank you yeah an informed decision and I should add some really
12:21
good memes and yeah a lot of meme that's true there was a lot of yeah so people
12:27
had to Google yeah certain new clips of mem to make me on both sides of the had some fun memes for sure yeah all right
12:32
number two this one surprised me I I guess I heard about it oh yeah we should be saying did we add to the algorithm I
12:38
would say for the first one Jay with this the two soccer tournaments and the cricket did you add to the algorithm with those at all zero yeah okay me too
12:46
us selection I think you and I both added to the AL oh yeah okay now did you add to the algorithm with this one L number two search news event was extreme
12:54
heat did you Google that look into it ask about it okay so this year heat wve
13:00
smashed records worldwide I didn't realize they had done that so with Europe Asia and parts of the US seing
13:06
lifethreatening temperatures people turn to Google to figure out how to stay cool recognize heat stroke symptoms and
13:12
prepare for a hotter Planet I think the way to combat the extreme heat is to do
13:18
what the celebrities and the elite do and that's live right along the ocean the cool Ocean Breeze helps you cool
13:24
down dip into the ocean and cool off no I always appreciate what Elite people tell me how to live I appre appreciate
13:29
that thank you guys appreciate it all right Olympic games but this is um something that only happens every four
13:34
years as well so just like the election you know every four years this one hit of course without looking right where
13:40
were the games stop why are you doing that to me just wait uh whoa Paris oh yeah no I
13:49
think you're right I think you're right okay hey yeah thinking like was it Russia but it can't be Russia I mean no
13:56
why no one's Googling Russia and Ukraine don't forget the Russia Ukraine war has been happening for three to four years
14:02
now it's I hate to say it's old news but it's kind of like what are you googling yeah yeah I think that war made one of
14:08
our lists I think it made if you go back in time I think that made the list a year or two ago quite frankly I hate to
14:14
say it's old news but it's kind of old news news yeah the Olympics usually
14:19
bring joy and N but this year also came with controversies unfair judging doping scandals and debates over new sports
14:26
like break dancing kept the games in the spotlight still inspiring performances and Metal Moments gave fans plenty to
14:32
cheer for but then also like the opening ceremonies and all the weird display oh
14:38
yeah that's right it was in Paris that's right that makes more why was it so weird why did it be
14:44
so weird I don't get it I don't get I don't understand guess cultural I guess it's cultural I guess I I don't know I
14:51
don't well I'm not I'm not from France I I don't know I I don't think anybody cared about the sports I didn't watch
14:58
one event I saw the opening ceremony Clips like I remember being at work people going do you see the opening
15:03
ceremonies I'm like no because I have real not that much interest that's why they do it I think we're proving your
15:08
point I think you're proving the point controversy it's headline grabbing sex cells controversy cells wasn't there a
15:15
picture of a guy's penis hanging out wasn't there something like that it was [Laughter]
15:21
weird it's headline grabbing J absolutely that added to the algorithm you know what I might have added to the
15:27
algorithm because I think when I heard about the controversy I looked into it yeah I added to the that's probably
15:32
pretty much when I realized Olympics were on sure did you hear any buildup to it I don't really recall anything and
15:38
that might be why they're like no one cares yeah what they did of course is they did some Christian imagery and
15:45
that's going to cause controversy of course Christians are an easy Mark they're an easy target because the response is passive it is it's always
15:52
like hey come on guys it's always tur the other cheek now
15:58
we're going to going into people Jay that aren't Sports there is a sports result but these are people the number
16:03
one Googled person I wonder if this individual will make a list or two in the future but we have Donald Trump making the number one search he's a
16:10
polarizing presence and he continued and continues to dominate Global headlines from his reelection to ongoing legal
16:17
battles the search spikes reflected curiosity about his plans policies and controversies so whether you like him
16:24
you're curious about his plans and policies and if you don't like him you're obviously going to look into his controversy so he was big on the
16:31
algorithm Donald Trump yeah and I suspect the next four years this won't change much uh number twoj who was the
16:37
second person this one surprised me this was number two search person yeah that surprises me as well Kate Middleton
16:42
Princess of Wales was in the news for both good and speculative reasons her increasing royalty responsibilities
16:49
charity work and iconic fashion kept her in the public eye but whispers about her health with noticeable weight loss
16:55
during appearances sparked concerns about the total Royal life might be taken on her Kate Milton did make a rare
17:01
comment about her cancer Journey she says I didn't know what this year was going to be so she's had quite a year
17:07
the Princess of Wales she's now 42 in December 6 she said I didn't know this
17:12
year was going to be the year that I've just had I think lots of people this year have had such challenging times and many who are here today it appears Jason
17:19
that she did have cancer but neither herself nor the palace have revealed what type okay kept in private so that's
17:26
why people were Googling just like we did now J we just the algorithm we just made it more number two but did you really think much of her
17:34
though the royal family in a general sense I mean it holds no interest in me I I admit when I heard rumors and
17:41
headlines about the cancer I think I did Google it I think I looked into it enough because it's a pretty big thing
17:47
right she's young she's younger than us she's got a lovely family and she seems innocent enough I have no issues with
17:53
her quals with her yeah I don't I don't know her but I don't think she's a bad person I think she's as good as a human
17:58
can be in the sense of just you know she does good she does charity and all that good stuff she she fulfills her role of
18:04
a Princess of Wales very well I think she does pattern her life after Diana in many ways so anyways when I heard about
18:09
the cancer scares I think you got to be kidding me this poor family right the guy loses his mom at a young age now he's his wife has cancer like it just
18:16
also goes to show you that The Human Experience whether you're royal family or just slubs like us it's The Human
18:22
Experience right number three KLA Harris even Katherine beat KLA I'm not going to try to get political or it's kind of
18:28
telling that yes the Princess of Wales was investigated more by the American
18:34
public than KLA Google gave these stats saying these are the search for things and you can Google this yourself but KLA
18:39
Harris didn't certainly didn't beat Trump and she didn't even beat Catherine well it's very telling that's it is very
18:45
very telling that's interesting I would not have anticipated that type of Gap so
18:50
the US vice president stayed in the spotlight whether for her leadership or her viral awkward moments people search
18:56
for everything from her policies to her place in history as the first female vice president now
19:01
the next category is celebrities who passed notable passings I'm not even going to list some Jay because we're
19:07
saving that for our special end of the year category so we're just going to leave that out we're just GNA move on
19:13
movies I can't believe Jason this was the number one Googled movie of 2024
19:19
even beat out Wolverine I'm surprised by this inside out two is it wrong that I know there was an inside out one it's a
19:26
kid show okay so Pixar sequel to emotional hit had fans eager to explore
19:31
adolescence and mental health through his signature creative lens early Buzz hinted at darker things sparking
19:37
curiosity about how Disney would balance it all did you see the first one no my kids didn't they quite like them they
19:43
like those movies so I guess parents are probably Googling when to come and out when to see it because it was a big
19:50
probably a big box office draw there's a lot of kids in the states parents taking the kids I'm surprised that he even made
19:57
the top five cuz number two I'm not surprised about that's a beju Beetlejuice this is Tim Burton's spooky
20:03
cult classic made a comeback with cast like Jenna Orga adding to the hype you know she's a big deal and also Nostalgia
20:11
played a huge role as fans search for updates on how the sequel would honor the original so this one didn't surprise me making the top list because even I
20:17
knew about it even I was I was curious about it I haven't seen it yet we showed the kids the first be juice and we
20:23
haven't seen the second one yet and kids liked it you know it's quirky it's fun it's Tim Burton they're not bored watching it I heard be juice B juice
20:29
it's the same quirky fun it's like if you like the first one it's the same flavor for part two so you're not going
20:35
to be disappointed but it doesn't break new ground well I definitely heard about Beetle Juice Beetle Juice not inside out
20:41
to and then we have it ends with us it's based on calling Hoover's Best Line novel this adaptation face backlash for
20:48
casting choices but still intrigued fans the book's heavy things of resilience and love made it a mustat for its
20:55
devoted audience now the only reason why I know about this movie I know but a little bit is because it stars I believe
21:02
Ryan Reynolds wife oh Blake livey name she produced the film oh it stars her so
21:09
it's a passionate project and I believe it came out the same time around the same time that Deadpool and Wolverine
21:14
came out so I think Ryan helped kind of promote the film because it came around the same time but and the film did
21:20
fairly well like the budget of 25 million so it's a lowbudget all intents purpose pretty lowbudget film and it made 350 million worldwide so definitely
21:27
made its money back I guess this is a popular novel here's the conflict that people are probably talking about Jay so sources told Hollywood Reporter that an
21:34
alleged conflict formed between Blake Lively and the director Justin baloni
21:41
which is never good when the uh star of the show and the main actor are having to fight during post- production after
21:47
the film underw a week of re-shoot and Lively commissioned a second cut of the film from editor Shane Reed Reed oh he
21:53
worked on Deadpool Wolverine starring Ryan Reynolds so the edit used in theaters accordly the version Lively
22:00
preferred was credited to two other people in addition the publication confirmed that Reynolds wrote a large
22:06
chunk of the dialogue for scen set on the balcony allegedly in April before the strike which Balon was not told of
22:15
uh so speculation about the alleged riff grew on platforms such as Tik Tok in videos that noted Bon's absence from
22:20
joint press events in August 2024 Balon hired a public relations crisis manager
22:26
lastly the Bad Blood between the two it's very real and the relationship may not be salvageable so in some ways Blake
22:32
using Ryan Reynolds star power they kind of did stuff behind the directors back and made their own cut and undermined
22:39
the director so I I just looked it up on Audible because I don't know anything about it it's got pretty good ratings
22:45
for the book but it's a series so I'm not sure if this um movie incorporates
22:51
the whole series or if it's just a book one of the series but if they have a
22:57
conflict with the director chances are if they're going to do another one to follow up this one he probably will not
23:03
be participating it sounds like yeah just says here the director stay that he would not return as a director they okay
23:09
so it's over for him anyway yeah for him not for Blake she's the star and she produced it anyway so she might just
23:15
direct her first film for part two okay now this next movie number four movie I've heard about I would like to see I
23:22
just haven't seen it yet I've heard about it I'm interested I even added the algorithm just to see where it's playing it's called salt Bur it's a visually
23:29
studying psychological drama that makx privilege excess and Scandal together it's divisive themes and bold
23:34
storytelling earned rave reviews and heated debates it's on Prime I believe so it is a movie I would like to see it
23:41
ends with us doesn't really interest me no offense to Blake she's lovely but Sul bur does interest me all right J TV
23:47
shows the number one search Show on Netflix I did watch it did you and go ahead and talk about it so gripping
23:52
series about Obsession and stalking based on Richard gad's award-winning play left viewers question the line
23:59
between victim and perpetrator the real life basis of the story only added to its chilling appeal oh so it's uh based
24:06
on a true events yeah so what what's fascinating is Richard Gad he did a one yeah he did a oneman I I believe it was
24:12
a oneman show which is always crazy so it's like a storytelling right he did this on stage talking about these events
24:20
and he then starred as himself in the series so he played himself as the
24:26
victim of being stalked by a woman in the Netflix series which is kind of odd to play your own events of course
24:33
it's dramatized and you know it's a fascinating story they set up really quickly is he's a bartender and a kind
24:39
of quirky overweight think type of woman comes in and she seems a little bit homely and awkward and weird and the
24:46
bartender being a nice guy just is nice to her and says hey how you doing and she just basically obsesses and falls in
24:53
love with him it creates this whole relationship with him I won't spoil anything but it's a fasc story The Woman
24:59
herself has been interviewed she was on Piers Morgan actually the woman and she of course comes off just as badly as you
25:06
would think so her claims of Innocence didn't work she just absolutely seems unfortunately mental health issues yeah
25:12
you mean the the waitress at the the Denny's restaurant that I go to when they're nice to me they don't it's not
25:19
because of me yeah yeah the Hooters waitress I mean she doesn't really like you yeah yeah she oh man yeah I'm sorry
25:26
oh she's just doing her job yeah I just I just laugh at that because there's a lot of memes out there oh I know the
25:33
older gentleman like person my age middle-aged man sure and then the waitress the nice young waitress is
25:40
pleasant and polite still got it I still got it I never well I know they're lying to
25:47
me because I never had it so if they're telling me I have it now at my age it's it's a lie yeah they're paying attention to me now yeah oh yeah so crazy I'm in
25:54
your establishment you're serving me uh food and expecting a whole for a bigger tip and you're be nice to me go figure
26:00
yeah okay okay so musicians Jay do any guesses who the top musician was Googled
26:06
in 2024 well I see it but it's not surprising and all for the wrong reasons
26:13
oh really it's not for his big uh new album that just dropped no actually the two that I see here they go hand in hand
26:21
yeah we'll do one at a time but yeah let's do Diddy first so Diddy let's do
26:27
Diddy first let's do yeah that was set at a few of his freak parties so of course Diddy made
26:32
headlines Jay with his freak out parties is what they're called freak out parties yeah he's basically another Epstein uh
26:40
list issue he's got parties he's got videotapes he's got photographs people are speculating of course that he's
26:45
going to um plea and that plea would mean he's going to what's the word I'm looking for implicate he's going to
26:51
implicate other people with a plea so he's going to say look if you're going to take me down I've got names I've got numbers I've got receipts so that is
26:57
what people are kind of waiting you've already kind of seen some people saying O I don't know if I was ever really his friend and people are kind of starting
27:04
to steer clear and and hoping well now there's rumors that there's uh tapes out
27:09
there that people are bidding for people have tapes and then and then so let's
27:15
say for an example a name that has been Associated but let's pretend like say LeBron James who says that he like
27:21
nothing like a p didy party right so then he'll find out that there's video or tapes of him out there and then he
27:27
there bidding for that tape to get it back maybe just keep some fresh you know
27:33
keep memories fun memories is a keep sake the next name why is this name here
27:38
do you know about why Usher is number two well they're suggesting Usher's L
27:44
Vegas resy brought him back into the spotlight but a viral moment involving Kiki Palmer at his show spark drama
27:52
online keeping him trending for both music and tboy reasons he is the one that brought Justin Bieber too Diddy
27:59
that's the real reason why Usher's in the spotlight because Justin Bieber was exploited rumored to be exploited by P I
28:08
mean so yeah maybe there's this Las Vegas residency maybe there's this experience with Kiki Palmer but I would
28:14
suggest there's a little bit more to it than just that so apparently uh the
28:19
regarding the Kiki Palmer I don't know who this Kiki Palmer neither do I the first I've ever heard of it so during
28:25
one of ushers Las Vegas resident e shows Kiki Palmer attended wearing a sheer black dress over a thong bodysuit so
28:33
Usher serenad her during his performance which led to a viral moment Palmer's
28:38
then boyfriend Darius Jackson publicly criticized her attire on social media stating quote it's the outfit though you
28:44
a mom end quote this comment sparked widespread debate about relationship
28:50
boundaries and public shaming subsequently Palmer and Jackson ended their relationship so there you go so in
28:57
response to the cont Usher released a music video for his song Boyfriend featuring Kiki Palmer the video includes
29:04
lyrics like quote somebody said that your boyfriend is looking for me and quote which many interpreted as a nod to
29:10
the incident Palmer's participation was seen as addressing the drama humorously
29:16
regarding Usher and Justin Usher has a long-standing relationship with Justin having played a pivotal role in Bieber's
29:22
early career and yes recently there were discussions about Bieber making a surprise appearance during us Super Bowl
29:28
halftime show however Bieber declined both Usher and Bieber have been indirectly mentioned in controversies
29:33
involving music industry execs former Death Row Record CEO shite alleged that
29:39
certain Executives used unethical means to control artists naming both Usher and Bieber among those affected and these
29:45
claims have not been independently verified and remain part of a broader industry discussions so there's that
29:50
talk as well that maybe even not sure was a victim of oh I'm sure he was groomed I maybe part of that grooming
29:56
was bring a friend or he to learn patterns right J what's the number one
30:02
food recipe that was Googled Olympic chocolate muffin so Norwegian swimmer Enrique
30:10
Christensen his training treat became a viral sensation during the Olympics fans searched for the recipe to see if these
30:15
muffins were truly performance enhancing or just delicious if you eat a muffin Jay you become an Olympic Athlete
30:22
especially chocolate ones so that was the number one Googled recipe move over Martha Stewart Henrik has got some
30:29
Olympic chocolate muffins that's just kind of a fun speaking of fun J this is the number one game which have you ever played this one no I hadn't heard it it
30:36
might have been on last year's list to be honest with you I think it made last year's list two years in a row really I don't recall it this addictive word
30:43
association puzzle became a daily Obsession for players worldwide Google searches Skyrocket as fans looked for
30:49
strategies Solutions and tips to master the game connections yeah so the game's connections I don't know what it is
30:56
similar to words do you it's actually kind of fun it's frustratingly hard to like it can seem very easy and some days
31:03
it is kind of easy but some days you're like what basically it's four categories you don't know what the categories are
31:09
because that gives away the answer you discover the categories by doing the game and you get 16 words for categories
31:16
the words will be let's say well let's be simple here the category is sports but you don't know what sports so you
31:21
see bat glove ball bass amongst the 16
31:28
words like okay those are all baseball things the other one could be spices so you see oregano thyme you're basically
31:34
putting together but it's not what you think sometimes you'll see bat ball and bass but then you could see with the say
31:40
for bass you also see uh military or you're like oh it's in a military base
31:45
or so you don't know if the word belongs to that category this one because it has more than one meaning so anyways that's
31:50
connections it's fun so there's 16 words and you got to find the four categories in those 16 words that's right so they
31:58
only belong to one category each yeah each word so it's groups of four four category 16 words yeah so that was the
32:03
number one Google thing which I Google it every day to play it so it just shows you that this is a very popular game
32:10
that people Google and play daily so yeah it's beting Wordle I guess there you go Jay we've got a very famous
32:16
athlete the number one Googled athlete in the world was it LeBron James no was
32:22
it Mike Tyson no have you ever heard of ammane khif the Algerian boxer was it
32:27
number one yeah CLE was made headlines after winning the gold medal at the Olympics but faced controversy over
32:33
allegations of being biologically male despite possessing XY chromosomes she
32:39
met all hormonal and eligibility criteria to compete in the woman's category so the backlash she faced
32:46
highlighted the complexities of gender in sports so khif does possess
32:51
clinically like scientifically possesses XY chromosomes they were born a CIS male
32:56
by the chromosome count hormonal count depending on the sport or category is
33:01
how they were able to compete in the woman's category the uh that's the complexities of gender Jason and sports
33:07
that's the very thing that people Googled and questioned and wondered and this is what people are looking into this is what they're trying to figure
33:12
out this is why it's a highly Googled situations I don't know what's happened with this I don't know what the outcome was I think they still I think there was
33:19
a followup not that long ago I guess we have to Google it yeah uh Jason number one sports team
33:27
yeah the New York Yankees they were all over Google this year after Blockbuster trades including acquiring star
33:33
outfielder Juan sto fans were eager to see how these changes would shape the
33:38
team's future after a challenging season did they win who won oh the Dodgers won the World Series that's right they
33:45
defeated the Yankees in five games now I think another reason why they were searched too was you can tell that Jason
33:52
and I don't follow baseball another reason why the Yankees I think didn't they have a big trade just happen to the
33:57
Mets I saw some Social Media stuff on that like it just happened this month oh yeah and they lost like a big player and
34:04
they went to the Mets that was part of the controversy is like so the New York Yankees traded somebody to the New York
34:09
Mets or they left the Yankees so J were the number one sports team they're the number one sports team and obviously
34:14
huge fan base huge population in New York so it maybe not surprising they were the number one search sports team
34:20
and also due to their World Series final appearance but also their loss in that
34:25
appearance so LA Dodgers winning their e eighth Championship wow wow how many
34:30
have the Yankees won now they've been around forever which you know early uh the Yankees have won 27 World
34:36
Championships So In Our Lifetime they've won you've won two since we were born so the last 50 years they've won one two
34:43
three four five six seven not only seven so the LA Dodgers have won maybe more in
34:48
the last 50 years they' won nine or eight so that's a good rivalry yeah I would say so probably yeah like I think
34:56
they have met before a few times I think is the thing yeah rivalry between LA and New York those are two major US cities
35:03
yeah East Cally different yeah East West the reason why these are a top search a
35:08
lot of controversies that's the whole point a controversy breeds curiosity it
35:13
breeds why why is this the thing because even some of these headlines when I did the uh you know I just went to Google
35:19
and said what are the top Google searches and then they gave it to me I like oh that list isn't very exciting so I said give it to me in categories and
35:26
that's why we have the categories because I didn't want just talking like you saw the top 11 I think the five of them were literally soccer J so I'm like
35:33
well give me different categories other than than just the worlds that's why we had stuff that was more State Side stuff
35:38
but what I'm getting at is like the reason why all these were majority of them are controversial that's what
35:44
people want to hear about they kind of not that we like but like why you know why Diddy why Trump why Harris even like
35:50
the movie it ends with us like it wasn't about the film it was about the controversy behind the film baby reindeer it was a controversial subject
35:57
like it was like or you know it's kind of a true crime you know Diddy and Usher even Taylor Swift wasn't the most
36:02
Googled because controversial like Diddy is more exciting to talk about and people people Googling it for news
36:08
pieces and da D yeah the only kind of positive ones were games and recipes
36:14
even the athlete the number one athlete controversial topic very sensitive people are very very strongly have
36:20
feelings on this and last SE New York Yankees let's see Yankee fans are very passionate I let me know in the comments
36:26
I swear there was but Min understand I don't know the name of the person but I think the Yankees did trade somebody to the Mets because I
36:33
saw some Tik Tok videos about people getting very mad and like why did you have to go to the Mets like of all the places because that's obviously the two
36:38
New York rivalry so so Jay I think for worst pick I'm gonna have to go with I'm
36:43
not even going to talk about the soccer because it's it's very fascinating that it was number one but to keep it sort of
36:48
interesting for me it's going to be what do I not want to learn more about at all meaning like I can't believe this has
36:55
made the topic so I'm going with the chocolate muffins I I'm not interested in the recipe I'm not interested in the
37:01
Norwegian swimmer themselves I don't care about the the swimming I am most surprised this made what would make a
37:08
recipe list I don't know but part of my criteria is like what would I Google more about and search more for I have no
37:14
interest in learning more about the chocolate muffins if you're going to go with the criteria of what are you the least likely to Google when this yeah
37:21
yeah what would be the least interesting to me I mean you could throw in the soccer but I thought maybe make a little
37:27
yeah I was going to say Cricut like sure but that's too easy no that's too easy it's like easy yeah man I'm going to
37:35
have this probably go with you I don't eat
37:41
muffins I will never Google a muffin recipe well maybe you could make them for your family or neighbors or someone
37:47
you know still I like cooking way more than baking sure to sit down and do
37:53
Bakery things cookies or a cake or a muffin I find that way more tedious so yeah a
38:01
muffin I'll never Google a muffin well we hope you had fun with us guys the whole idea is is have fun I know there's
38:06
some sensitive topics on here politics and uh other stuff we try to keep it light we try to keep it down the middle
38:14
people have very strong feelings on this but that's why again that's why these are top search topics because people
38:19
have strong feelings on this they want to learn more or they want to combat more or whatever it is that's fine the beauty of the internet is we have
38:26
information that J at our finger that we just 40 30 years ago this is just crazy that we can do this we didn't have
38:32
information at our fingertips the fact that we could just as we're recording we kind of looked up things to clarify as we're recording that's amazing
38:38
technology if you think about at the end of the day that we can punch in some letters and then oh there's more information for us so it's it's a
38:45
fascinating thing it can be a dangerous thing but I also think it be a very powerful thing in a good way too to to
38:50
be informed today though we don't care about being informed regarding choca muffins I think that's wishing everyone
38:57
a happy happy New Year in 2025 best of luck to the Yankees best of luck to Trump best of luck to the heat maybe
39:04
it's a cooler year [Music]
