Bailey – 0:19: The month came and went and it. Was a busy month. I think even looking back on the trends, I forgot all the things that had happened from sports to entertainment. You had the Golden Globes at the beginning of the month. And as folks tend to do, they want to know who's there and what they're wearing.

And as folks tend to do, they want to know who's there and what they're wearing. So Ali Wong, who won a best actress award for her role in beef, was one of the top trending people the day after the Golden Globes. And I think part of that was. She was the first person of Asian descent to win that particular award in succession. I don't know if you're a fan. I'm a fan. Even though the series is over, they. Are still continuing to trend. They took home four Golden Globes. Kieran Culkin had a really entertaining acceptance speech. So they were top of mind. And then the Emmys were in the middle of the month. It is award season. As I mentioned, folks are interested in what people are wearing. Aubrey Plaza from White Lotus and Suki Waterhouse and Daisy Jones and the six were top trending for their red carpet dresses. And then Elton John earned himself an EGOT with his Emmy award. So a lot of people searching, what is an EGOT? Very busy in the entertainment. Mason Paine – 1:23: Yeah, EGOT. That was actually really cool. I find it such a cool accomplishment when somebody wins. Like, I don't know, part of me is like, why should I give a hoot if somebody wins all of it? But that is huge, right? I mean, an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, what's the Tony, I think, right? Tony? Bailey – 1:40: Yeah. Yeah. It's wild. I think it's not until I actually. Think about go through the acronym to really think through, like, wow, that is a person of many talents across the board, right? Really impressive. Mason Paine – 1:53: And then I'm trying to think, what did he win with his Oscar, right? Bailey – 1:57: Like, what was that such a good. Mason Paine – 1:59: Even I don't to kind of look. Bailey – 2:03: Up at the other ones. And now I'm realizing I didn't even look up what Oscar was. Mason Paine – 2:07: You know what, I don't care what it is. I'm just going to believe that it's, can you feel the love tonight from the Lion King? Bailey – 2:13: Actually, yeah. Obviously what it is, right? Mason Paine – 2:18: It's like we're just going to leave it at that. That's the only suck I really think is worth it. No, I'm just kidding. Bailey – 2:24: Exactly. Mason Paine – 2:24: Now I got to know. I'm sure there was a lot of other things that was happening in the month of January. What about beauty stuff? Was that ever trending? Bailey – 2:31: Yeah.
