In this edition of TrendsUp, Jack and Miles discuss the Jan 6th pipe bomb suspect, Zillow obfuscating climate related metrics on their house listings, Detroit's new RoboCop statue, Trump's "affordability hoax", Costco suing over Trump's tarriffs, more details on Olivia Nuzzi's new book and much more!

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.
