What's Trending with Victor Lewis (This Morning with Aaron Keck)

Trending today: a new national survey shows sustained support for LGBTQ rights in America, despite political attacks from the right. 67 percent of Americans are in favor of legalized same-sex marriage (including a majority in all 50 states), and 75 percent support laws protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination. (And yes, that includes transgender folks too.) Also, Victor urges everyone (yes, everyone) to run for office this year, and Aaron remembers the smartest thing he’s ever heard a politician say.

Trending today: an imbalance in US-Canada relations, with Canadians feeling much worse about Americans these days. Victor’s got the numbers, from a recent cross-national survey – but Aaron’s got the anecdotes, from his trip to Montreal last week. (It’s not Americans that Canadians hate, it’s the U.S. government – but that still leads to tension, with “BUY CANADIAN” signs all over downtown and noticeable discomfort when the Star-Spangled Banner is sung before hockey games. For example.)

Trending today: a spike in spending on employee surveillance software, with managers monitoring workers to make sure they’re not leaving their desks or surfing the web. Which sends Victor and Aaron (especially Aaron) off on a rant – because why would anyone bother focusing on that instead of tracking actual productivity, especially when people actually tend to be more productive when they have the freedom to take mental and physical breaks?! Make it make sense. (In the meantime, seriously, avoid working at those places if that’s at all possible. Sheesh.)

Trending today: the rise of the cigar industry, with a big spike in global sales – but why, since smoking in general is down? Victor speculates that it might have something to do with the rise of bro culture (podcasts, e.g.), but Aaron thinks it may be related to a similar trend in alcohol consumption – with fewer people drinking, but those who do favoring a more elevated ‘mixology’-style experience. (Or maybe we’re both wrong. Who knows?)

Trending today: new technology in the NFL, as the owners approve automation for disputed first-down calls. (This is something that happened a little while ago, but flew under the radar – thanks in part to some more headline-grabbing changes that Victor is definitely familiar with and is totally not also hearing about for the first time.)

97.9 The Hill’s Michael Koh and Andrew Stuckey fill in for Victor and Aaron. They discuss a recent bookstore move in a Michigan small town, which the independent book store had customers and community members pass all the books hand to hand bucket brigade-style from the old location to their new location. They discuss the practicality of the method, the logistics of such a move, and more.

Trending today: the rise of ‘maple water,’ made with maple sap that hasn’t yet been processed into syrup. It’s a growing industry in Canada, akin to coconut water; it hasn’t yet taken off, but it may be about to – provided tariffs and the economy and all that jazz don’t get in the way. (Also, Aaron has a brief existential crisis when he realizes he’s close to agreeing with RFK Jr. on something.)

Trending today: the decline of mass-market paperbacks. With mass-market fiction readers switching to e-readers, the company responsible for stocking bookshelves in grocery stores and airports says it won’t be doing that anymore. (So what physical books are people buying? Longer, more scholarly books, Victor says – the better to show off how erudite they are.

Trending today: the average corporate board member is getting older (yes, older than they already were!), which is getting to be an issue – especially for those companies whose survival depends on their ability to market to kids. (Hello Kitty, to be exact.) Also, Victor officially crosses the line and becomes an out-of-touch stodgy old man himself. (If he hadn’t already done that years ago.)
