We're going to look at, this is kind of our year in review in review,
Starting point is 00:03:11 where we look at the primary year in review digests and tools to come up with insights, oversight, snubs and flubs. I'm Jack, that's Miles, and we are thrilled to be joined by super producer Anna Hosnier. The unfortunate news is that I had to ingest my twin DJ Daniel in the room.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I know. We told you not to. And I said, it's going to change your voice and make it all weird like know. We told you not to. And I said, it's going to change your voice and make it all weird like that. And you didn't listen. And I looked at you. Yes. This is becoming like a bit of a year end tradition where Google's like,
Starting point is 00:03:56 this is what you looked for. And then creates like a real sappy video that like tries to make it super emotional, supes emotion, and inspirational based on the fact that we were like, wait, why was the chainsaw invented? Yeah, that's a weird question. That's one of the trends we'll talk about.
Starting point is 00:04:15 So I'll let you kick it off, Myles. What was something that you noticed in the trends on what people were searching in 2020? I think the recipes one is really interesting because it says a lot, because I think for them, you know, if we look at this year, we could say that three fourths of it was spent indoors
Starting point is 00:04:36 or without like the typical moving and consuming that we're normally used to in this country. And the recipes, the top recipes, like the first two make sense we've talked about it sourdough bread obviously number two is whipped coffee which was like the thing i didn't realize everybody was on but it looked delicious and then we start getting to things that are not available at home like number three disney churro. Number four, Dole Whip. Those are both Disneyland things, right? That you buy at Disney.
Starting point is 00:05:07 This is, yo, the strength of this next one. Number five, Double Tree Cookie. Now, anybody who's traveled on business, or you, whatever, you've stayed at a Double Tree, the first thing you realize is like, this motherfucker just gave me a warm ass cookie for checking in. What the fuck is this place?
Starting point is 00:05:23 So that's something people were chasing. And something that speaks to me, number six, Ikea meatball. I got to run with that. I don't know what the seventh one is. Chaffle? You don't know chaffle, bro? What's that? No clue. Oh, damn. I thought it, well, it seems like a thing that, let's see, chaffle is, that let's see chaffle is oh it's a carb-free waffle oh it's cheese and eggs wow it's a keto oh i didn't anna do you know about this the chaffle one net carb each no but i do know yeah see that and again keto big big year for keto so that's always interesting to see uh what people were trying to make if look if you have an actual recipe it's chaffle because it's spelled like waffle oh yeah sorry i'm after after anna brought up how uighur muslims were picking cotton i had like chattel slavery in my head i think so
Starting point is 00:06:16 i was chaffle it's all it's all swirling around but yeah that uh if anyone has the bomb recipe on how to actually make a fucking dole Whip, let me know. That seems very labor intensive, but shout out to y'all for sure. Does Dole Whip have, like, it has dairy in it, right? It's not just like whipped. No, I think it's vegan. Straight. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah. I mean, these are all things I'm assuming that are going to be sold now that our hunger, our thirst for Disney churros has been revealed. Disney branded foods are not their strongest suit. That is one corner of the market that they have not nailed down. Disney food sucks. Well, the churro, I think, i think is just i mean the only thing is i i mean you could look at this and say a lot uh disney was on the brain sourdough you need
Starting point is 00:07:13 a sourdough to make a bread bowl to have the clam chowder in a bread bowl at disneyland right you know what i mean so that's that could that could have something to do whipped coffee dole whip i don't know you know I'm just out here throwing out lame conspiracy theories about Disney consumption. Yeah, yeah. Actors that were trending this year. It's interesting because they're mostly
Starting point is 00:07:34 trending for reasons besides their performances. Tom Hanks was our COVID canary in the coal mine. He is number one. Chris D'Elia because he was exposed as a predator, number two. Jada Pinkett Smith, who- That was Entanglement, I think.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Delivered one of our great performances of the year, but it was not a scripted one. No. It was Entanglement. Timothee Chalamet seems like he's the first one who uh is on the strength of like his his work right or was he doing something wild off the off the set um i would say it was on the strength of his jawline uh-huh oh just kidding i don't know that or what dune i'm not into it it's hard to know like that's the thing the first ones are like we get it drama drama drama and then it's timothy
Starting point is 00:08:28 shall we like dune I think he's just one of those people he's just like new cool guy in town so everyone's like well who's that chalamet is has a like a whole vibe he's cornered that people are loving about him yeah I don't know what it is
Starting point is 00:08:43 because jack you could you could i mean you could get on a chalamet wave i feel like yeah i gotta start you know dressing a little bit more challenging and uh lose about half of my weight half my body weight what does it mean to dress more challenging yeah i don't know like get a little bit more more subversive yeah more subversive take risks I wear the same clothes every day. Yeah, but you're on like that Tim Cook shit where like your mind is in too many places. Like you don't have time.
Starting point is 00:09:13 It's not laziness. You're going to throw on the same thing. It is that my mind is so brilliant. Efficiency. But I can't spend it thinking about clothes. Okay, in your mind, if you had to take the Timothee Chalamet challenge fashion wise, what is an article of clothing that you would buy and you're like, the Timothee Chalamet challenge fashion-wise,
Starting point is 00:09:25 what is an article of clothing that you would buy? And you're like, I mean, look, I normally wouldn't do this, but I think this is, yeah. Okay. What's a challenging piece you think you'd wear? Probably some sort of hat. Some sort of hat that's not a baseball hat. I feel like people have been rocking the hats and magazine profiles for a while. I've literally never worn a hat that's not a baseball cap.
Starting point is 00:09:49 You should let your hair grow out a little more and then let your one little curl come down in your bangs. Yeah, get a curl going. I think you could do that. And then I think the big thing is a very unbuttoned silk shirt or something like that. With like silk pinstripe pants. I keep the shirt buttoned up so that it would be, it's a mess down there. You know what I'm saying? There was that one sequined, that sequined harness he wore.
Starting point is 00:10:21 You remember that? Yeah. That's you, Jack. That was lit. Yeah, that was the other thing, sequinedined harness i think hat was a bad answer that's just something that has generally exceeded my grasp as a uh right as a fashion person uh non-baseball cap hats oh was it because too like i remember there's like henry the fifth or like other photos came out of him it's like timothy chalamet can even rock the fuck out of a bowl cut yeah uh and that was just sort of the he's also like picture uh making out badly with his girlfriend i think like they they were
Starting point is 00:10:56 oh man weird leave kissing weird alone weird why are you kissing weird dude knock it off chalamet i don't know what real kissing is because i watch so much of like reality tv and people be like they kiss weird and i'm like what is kissing normal it's just two people putting their mouths on each other there's no sense or like rhythm to it you're just like i'm the other way we're like I watch TV and I'm like I'm not kissing right this is how they kiss damn I'll just say this right now you've got it like paused and you're like yeah she's like why do you keep watching
Starting point is 00:11:35 these Timothee Chalamet super cuts on YouTube well kissing in my opinion is nonsense there's no right way to kiss as long as the two kissers are happy then that's that okay yeah very basic and that's it i'm gonna leave now each yeah to each their own you know speaking of chalamet's bowl cut uh the beauty how-tos were uh kind of interesting this year
Starting point is 00:12:05 and especially relevant because we couldn't go to the barber unless we were Nancy Pelosi. All right, guys. Let's deal with this lady. What about a refrigerator? It costs more than my car. I'd like a blowout. How to cut men's hair at home was the number one trending uh but number two something that
Starting point is 00:12:29 i don't know what it means it is how to plop hair what that means what that means how to plop what's plop hair plop how to plot like how to just plop your hair i'm sorry i'm the last i think it's plop your hair with a shirt i think it's to plop your hair? I'm sorry. I'm the last. How to plop your hair with a shirt? I think it's. How to plop hair. What that means? It's for like curly hair. I believe.

Starting point is 00:13:17 I wish I had a problem where I needed to learn how to plop my hairs. All 14 of them. It's like a good styling technique i don't personally plop because um you stopped plopping no i just have never had any joy in life or reason to do anything so right but you had that podcast what's plopping yeah i thought it was they canceled it because i started a show about something i wasn't doing so So, it was unfortunate. Anna doesn't actually plop. The other thing, what's the other thing with the beauty stuff?
Starting point is 00:13:51 What is, how do you style curtain bangs? What are curtain bangs? This is clearly all... Like, you could pull a thing on the side, and they'll be like, shh, and move to the edges of your face. Yeah, so you have a little rope on the side of your head, and you just, like just move it, and they go,

No. Dude, he could good he could rock the fuck out of oh for sure but i'm just i'm worried about people worried about people seeing chalamet rock that and be like oh i can do that myself um he should by the way just go by chalamet and drop the tim or Or shals?

Starting point is 00:16:22 to his part of wherever la in and ellie he lives yeah that is uh i mean that's that seemed to be the word of the year and then but what's i think it's the song of the year word of the year uh meme of the year with ben shapiro yeah ben shapiro self-loathing wildly and aggressively um the like then it's entanglement shout out to jada pinkett smith again for just creating the culture with the red table talks then that was that was that was her she had a affair with someone uh he talked about how he like really felt for her and people asked her about it and she said it wasn't an affair it was an entanglement yeah she said that like while August Alsina is like declaring his love she just downgraded
Starting point is 00:17:08 that like it was a if you were August Alsina your heart was thrown into like a fucking magma pit yeah ouch well whatever what did you expect like timothy chalamet's hairdos not to be attempted by
Starting point is 00:17:23 the average us mere mortals we shouldn't try to downgrade any relationships to entanglements lest we uh hurt people and get hurt and then like it's a mixture of people go ahead expect we all know that uh then there's a mixture of just like words that came out of either the like uh black lives matter uprisings or the quarantine so number three is antebellum because i think that's you're like well wait what's wrong with lady antebellum as a game what antebellum means huh then number four and five is pandemic or asymptomatic uh just to make sure like you know just to get clarification on that then six and seven juneteenth and by poc uh it's all happening uh so you know it's we're learning a lot what's a
Starting point is 00:18:14 big puck simp is the one yeah i feel like simp would be number one if this was a ordinary year but because it was uh yeah simple like stan right beyond there yeah yeah was... Yeah, Simp's a stan, right? Yeah, yeah, WAP, I guess. Simp is a stan? Is that what Simp is? Yeah, like somebody who's acting way too thirsty, desperate, like you're doing the most for somebody who ain't giving you shit back. Now, what's
Starting point is 00:18:38 the root of that? I don't know, because it's in a lyric from, like, I heard heard in a rap song like years ago um but then it became something now like let's see let's just look uh it is an insult a culture yeah who are seen as too attentive and submissive to women especially out of a failed hope of winning some entitled sexual attention or activity from them translation the word simp is meant to troll young men for doing anything for a girl to get some action he supposedly deserves i mean there's that's weird that's a weird definition and and
Starting point is 00:19:18 this is from guess where that definition is from dictionary Dictionary.com. Shout out to you. So technically, both of y'all are simps for getting engaged and married, I guess technically I want to. That's true. Wow. No, I mean, that's what Her Majesty calls me all the time. How does it feel?

Yes, E-40 and Too too short that's the one i'm most i'm back in i fell off up there in the bay i fell off a little now i'm back in baby there you go or by the time this is recorded i don't know if it's happened but uh wow doors open man it's oakland versus vallejo pick a side and get out the way dude more like literally like nicer neighborhoods now
Starting point is 00:24:55 yeah right it's like black hawk that's a bay area thing if anyone okay never oh okay shut up i was like um it's a really like a really fancy neighborhood that e40 moved into like in danville oh i know danville because i knew yeah like when the first time i heard about it's like it's where rich white people flee san francisco for i'm like well yeah Well yeah like that East Bay strip but Blackhawk that neighborhood is like that's the neighborhood Okay well good to know
Starting point is 00:25:30 It's where E40 lives it's where like John Madden lives it's like where like all the richest people of the Bay Area who go to the East Bay move to Okay The horniest section would probably be musicians and bands because number one with a bullet shakira which i guess that uh that halftime show was this year yeah that is wild yo holy shit
Starting point is 00:25:56 that is unbelievable yeah that really fucked me up right now right that was in this year and then uh going back to the uh entanglements august alcina then we got adele who people were you know googling because she looks different was uh rocking some new styles um just all around the i don't understand why there's a babies category like it's just so weird to be like most search people actors athletes babies i'm like i right i guess people are looking for it but when it's like a mix of celebrity babies and like whimsical fictional yeah yeah i this this suggests to me that babies is a much larger portion of search traffic than we realize. Right. So like Elon Musk baby.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Right. Because it was like XJ94 or whatever fucking weird cool name it was. Then number two is baby platypus. Number three is Ice Age baby. I'm guessing that's like from a plot. From the movie Ice Age? Yeah. Okay. Then Anderson Cooper baby ooh baby nut
Starting point is 00:27:09 again Super Bowl another Super Bowl commercial that we were like what is this ad campaign exactly supposed to mean then Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry Ed Sheeran, Cameron Diaz and Coco Melon okay Coco Melon I know because that's that wild-ass YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:27:26 That's the wild-ass YouTube channel that dominated Netflix. It's like one of the top streaming things on Netflix this year. Yeah. Actually, speaking of top streaming things, if we can take a break from Google for a moment just to tell you all what the most top streamed shows netflix were for the year uh this is from february 27th when they started releasing the top 10 list to december 8th when this list was released uh the queen's gambit number one it beat tiger king man the queen really really connected with people to a wild degree like blew it out numbers wise or
Starting point is 00:28:08 just bested it by what or like significant is not even number two i remember i remember at the beginning of the year when like they were like nothing's ever gonna touch tiger king it's like so far out in front of everything else um and then the fact that Queen's Gambit caught it within the year. And it's just not the show that, like if you had asked me to bet on a hundred different shows to like be the show that caught it, I would not have bet on the one where a anime character is a genius at chess. Like,
Starting point is 00:28:39 right. But yeah, it's just a magical concoction that show so like tiger king seems like it crosses all just ideologies and value systems to be like hey you want to see some fucking really messy fucking doc about some dude with tigers and there's murder and all kinds of other shit um but damn i guess i'm i'm an out now may i pose the position pose um what if it's just the timing so tiger king hit us right at the beginning of quarantine ish where we were like we need something and then queen's gambit came out at a very hot spot of the holidays where a lot of people were not traveling
Starting point is 00:29:25 because of covito so maybe that's just kind of why it was able to kind of bump up so high like those two just like were released at very optimal times of our like peak boredom you know yeah now i have no proof or evidence of anything ever that i say so really just remember that uh well yeah this is a podcast i'm just guessing because i didn't watch it but i feel like everyone around me watched it all around the exact same time which is when it dropped which was like very it felt like kind of thanksgiving ish time yeah like they kind of nailed the time of that four-day weekend we were all just kind of like guess i'll cook a pie myself and that was just it and then i'll put on queen's gambit yeah yeah no for sure i mean i'm sure it's a bunch of different things but uh that that is definitely it does seem like you know
Starting point is 00:30:19 they hit that with uh making a murder like years ago and then like people need that viral piece of content over the holidays that they can all like talk to relatives about so they don't have to talk about politics right i mean it's it like because when you break down um on google trends like what the searched shows were tiger king is first and then followed by cobra kai yeah uh and then queen's gambit is number five but when you actually like break down the subset of uh queen's gambit like when you look at which areas it was like making up for the lion's share of search traffic it's dc is number one then vermont then massachusetts then washington then hawaii maine new hampshire connecticut alaska and california that's the top 10 wow that's for that's for uh queen's gambit yeah for like how much of their search traffic was around
Starting point is 00:31:21 that show around the time yeah exactly, exactly. But they said the most activity was DC. I mean, that's a very small set, so I'm sure that can be skewed very quickly, but damn, you know. New England definitely fucks with chess. The rest of the top 10, Ozark, Outer Banks, which, Miles,
Starting point is 00:31:40 I know was your number one show this year. Yeah, 100%. We also got the Umbrella Academy, Unsolved Mysteries, Cobra Kai coming in at number seven, Love is Blind at eight, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Ratched. Yeah, I think that's how it's pronounced. Ratched, Ratched, who cares? Who cares? okay um though okay now the why the why questions on google trends i think are worth trying to figure out because you as you alluded to at the top of the show the number one most searched
Starting point is 00:32:14 why question on google was why were chainsaws invented yeah this seems like of all the why fucking questions you could ask this. You're like, why isn't the, why isn't Congress passing more COVID relief? Oh, why is there systemic racism existing all around us? It's why,
Starting point is 00:32:34 why were chainsaws invented? Then why were, why is there a corn coin shortage? Why was George Floyd arrested? Why is Nevada taking so long? That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Number five. Why is Tik TOK getting banned? Why did Kobe have two numbers? why is nevada taking so long that's pretty good that's pretty good number five why is tiktok

Starting point is 00:33:49 the pelvis bone of women during childbirth are you serious yeah what the fuck oh god it because it came out of a tiktok video where someone was talking about it and was like what yeah exactly that's can't be real really yo this image of the first chainsaw is a fucked up i don't want that shit near anybody i love not even in a wood cutting scenario like let's deliver the baby but let's also murder this woman in the process i mean when you read the origin of germ theory it's i would never like the people who women were just dying so often in childbirth from like infections after childbirth because doctors were like coming from the bathroom without washing their hands like they were just like it couldn't be me must be her weak body and
Starting point is 00:34:37 constitution um they just treated women like they weren't human for most of history. The vast, vast majority of the most places. Yeah. Let's ban chainsaws altogether. I don't care what they're used for now. Yeah. That ain't right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:54 That ain't right. Anna's catchphrase. I'm still, like, so even then now, actually now, you know, piecing it all together, we got our number one why question from a tiktok video yeah you know that's what that's saying at the end of the day is like how much because also um one of the why questions being asked was like why is tiktok getting banned that's number five yeah so you know us olds we need to look out this tiktok thing might be might be big i don't know but it's funny because the like the idea that tiktok is place where you find like interesting information and uh compelling uh image macros and shit like that is it's just like every new skin that we put on the internet
Starting point is 00:35:39 a lot of the times it's you know just like that that is the sort of thing that was the number one uh today i learned on reddit like 15 years ago um right but we're just kind of finding the same information in new ways with new generations the last thing i will just point out is the during coronavirus um search trends like anything that had during coronavirus in it number one and i think this actually also helps truly encapsulate like what this country is about number one search term including during coronavirus is best stocks to buy during coronavirus oh yeah man you gotta strike while the iron's hot you know what i'm'm saying, bro. If you're Googling it, you're about to lose money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:27 And also, your humanity. Yeah, like, what? I mean, you know, that's I think how most people are thinking, whether it's like you're in a leadership role, like, what the fuck do I need to sell to make sure I don't take a hit? Or other people being like, this could be my chance
Starting point is 00:36:44 for upward mobility is to buy stocks in time of chaos and then i can be the new whatever covid robber baron of industry it's um yeah and the number two dating during coronavirus so yeah fucking number three i can feel dentist open during coronavirus because i was coming up on my uh dental appointment and right as coronavirus hit no nothing doing for the past year no dental professional is going to close talk to me with my mouth open yeah oh you said wouldn't a dentist just have to wear like a fucking full-on scuba mask like if i was dealing with open-mouthed every day, I'm like, oh, bro. Like, I'm sorry. I'm going to put this outbreak suit on.
Starting point is 00:37:30 It's nothing against you, but like. Imagine having your mouth that wide open for that long. It's disgusting. Dentists need to be eradicated. Because their job involves being around open mouths. Yes, it's disgusting. We've already been through a pandemic. We cannot move forward with such nasty behavior.
Starting point is 00:37:48 We have to rethink this industry and what it means for the dentists. Cue all the dentists that listen in my mentions. Sorry. Yeah, hey, Dental Zeitgang, let us know. Isn't that shit like wild? Have open mouth people all the time? You know?
Starting point is 00:38:03 How are y'all staying safe? Because I know everybody's trying to figure out how to stay safe. And that seems like a, like, if you can't do go to a choir practice, doing mouth stuff in a dental context indoors, it feels like, I really hope that's not a phrase that dentists use for doing their job.
Starting point is 00:38:20 I'm going to go in here and do a little mouth stuff with this. You know, doing a mouth job later. You know what I mean? Doing an extraction. Doing an extraction. For the where is, some pretty understandable where is my stimulus money, motherfucker, is I think implied.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Where is my refunds? Where is Kansas City city i remember that being even a conversation in my own house because uh i i think my wife thought it was in kansas i thought it was in uh missouri oh it was because that's right because trump tweeted trump tweeted congratulations the great state of k. I always confuse my wife with Trump. He tweeted, congratulations to the great state of Kansas. And I was like, ah, idiot. But then people were like, there is a Kansas City.
Starting point is 00:39:16 And some of the people who are on the team are from there. Where's Beirut? Where's Shakira from? Where's toilet paper made? This one, though. Where is the coronavirus um jesus oh no yeah where is it but i guess oh this makes sense it peaked like at the beginning of lockdown okay yeah so that makes sense of if at the time you had a very abstract idea of what this is like
Starting point is 00:39:46 it's like this band on tour it's like all right so right now coronavirus wrapping up in new york then they're hitting fucking jersey pennsylvania like yeah yeah so you know i'll give earth a break on that because i mean shit we didn't know anything and then i would probably be like yo where's it at right now what's good where can good. Where can I go? Where is it not? All right, let's take a quick break, and then we'll come back and talk top 25 movies on Netflix. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
Starting point is 00:40:35 President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current.

Starting point is 00:44:38 You can't really trust Netflix's internal statistics, but you can trust their automated top 10 list, assuming they're not fucking with it too much. Not goofing the numbers? Yeah. Number 25 is The Platform, which I saw the trailer for, and it fucked me up.
