## Transcript

>> I'm Dan Fletcher, this is Steve Snider, here's what was trending around the web this week. So, Steve, Vuvuzelas?

>> Vuvuzelas.

>> Could we even know anything about these things before this week?

>> It was the week we learned how to pronounce it.

>> The Vuvuzelas [ unk ] is just this dull, unrelenting, persistent growling during every World Cup match.

>> By the way, my favorite thing already is that the [ unk ] on Iphone now that would cancel the noise, I think in your living room, right? As you're watching it.

>> That's right.

>> Speaking of World Cup, the North Korea coach apparently has an invisible cellphone?

>> Actually the coach said, " I have an invisible cellphone in my ear during matches that communicates with Kim Jong- il ".

>> We knew Kim Jong- il could do so much. Who knew that long distance soccer coaching was part of that?

>> So, Steve you're a movie guy. What's the big milestone this week?

>> Well, this week, 50th anniversary, Alfred Hitchcock, Psycho. Innate on our site. You can find that the five ways that Psycho changed movie- going.

>> The fact that stuck with me with this package was that you had, before Psycho, you had never seen the toilet flushed in that movie. Now you have movies that are, you know, pure toilet, you know.

>> Or just crap. So it's hard to know which one we should talk about next. Miley Cyrus nude photo, fastfood, or Touchdown Jesus.

>> I know. Jesus or Miley Cyrus. So let's talk about Jesus because that was really

>> We should talk about Jesus.

>> burning up the charts this week.

>> Jesus is on fire.

>> It was a 6- storey high Jesus sculpture that was in his baptismal font outside his mega church in Monroe, Ohio. That was struck by lightning and burned to the ground.

>> It hit the right hand. The right hand of Jesus and the rest burnt to ashes.

>> Alright. So Steve, you know, you got to have something goofy to end the week. Friendly's released, you know. We've had the double down already this year. Friendly's latest fastfood abomination. It is two grilled cheese sandwiches with a burger betweens. When you need three meals in one, go to Friendly's. And it's why you should never get food from an icecream place.

>> I wanna see the calorie counts.

>> I think we gotta get out of here and go get a salad, Steve. I feel pretty gross.

>> Have protein shake.
