In this edition of Chris CrofTrend, Miles and super producer Becca discuss the passing of Olivia Newton-John, who's pet The Rock would be, the Pim Kardavidson uncoupling, the anti-LGBTQ+ performace of 'Hamilton' at a Texas church, the new Netflix erotic thriller 'The Next 365 Days', and Nicki Minaj recieving the Video Vanguard Award!

There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.

In this edition of Trend Shapiro’s Fortnite Foray, Jack and Miles discuss Donald Trump’s disapproval rating reaching an all-time high of 58%, along with Trump skipping Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding. They also break down Starbucks’ latest advertising controversy, which echoes the company’s infamous 2002 “Collapse Into Cool” misstep, in which a poster promoting two new beverages drew criticism for imagery reminiscent of the September 11 attacks. The new campaign was tied to the release of a new oversized tumbler called The Tank, launched on May 18th and branded as “Tank Day.” The problem: May 18th is the anniversary of the Gwangju Democratic Uprising in South Korea, when the military-controlled government used tanks to suppress pro-democracy demonstrations. Next, they discuss the shooting outside the White House, which was covered by several media members who were filming at the time and the administration's use of the shooting as a justification for the White House ballroom. Next, in an effort to slow subscriber losses at The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro streamed himself playing Fortnite for the first time. Finally, the day after the final episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert guest-hosted Only in Monroe, a public-access show from Monroe, Michigan, featuring guests Jack White, Jeff Daniels, and Steve Buscemi.
