The post What’s Trending: The Chapel Hill of Kansas appeared first on Chapelboro.com.

Trending today: record-high TV ratings for multiple sporting events at once (the College World Series, the NBA Finals, and the Stanley Cup playoffs – plus the Tony Awards, for that matter). Why is that? Michael Koh (filling in for Victor) speculates that it might have something to do with high ticket prices – but Aaron wonders if it’s not a sign that we’re all dealing with the heaviness of 2026 by leaning into fun escapist pop culture. (Or maybe it’s just a coincidence? But it feels like more than a coincidence.)

The post What’s Trending: An Ode to the Humble Station Wagon appeared first on Chapelboro.com.

Trending today: a crisis in the aviation industry, which is facing a major labor shortage as tech schools face an economic crunch. Victor pushes for more technical education, Aaron reiterates his own theory of what schools should be offering – and then Aaron hits on the idea that’ll solve everyone’s problems, all at the same time. (It’s a bad idea, to be clear, but – still.)

Trending today: the discovery that major US-based companies are still producing lead-based products and selling them in other countries (Mexico, for instance), even though they’re generally banned here. Aaron initially calls on those other countries to take the initiative and pass anti-lead laws – but then remembers that public pressure campaigns also do actually work, sometimes.

The post What’s Trending: Get the Lead Out appeared first on Chapelboro.com.

Trending today: new scientific research that’s shedding new light on ancient giant bugs and why they’re not around anymore. (Turns out smaller bugs have an easier time evading predators.) Victor’s fascinated, albeit a little wigged out by the idea of enormous insects – though is that a scary thought because we instinctively hate all insects, or just because we’re not used to insects that large?

The post What’s Trending: Mayflies As Big As My Arm appeared first on Chapelboro.com.

Trending today: a fledgling news outlet in New York investigates the one driver who’s responsible for a big percentage of the city’s speeding tickets. Turns out it’s a NYPD officer – and turns out he’s not the only New York cop with a stack of unpaid parking tickets. Victor’s full of praise for the news outlet, but Aaron’s actually more impressed that someone figured out a way to exceed the speed limit in New York City at all, what with all that traffic.

The post What’s Trending: The Coast That All These Wizards Live On appeared first on Chapelboro.com.

Trending today: a study that reveals most of us actually get more interested than we expect about topics we tend to consider ‘boring.’ But is that because we’re setting the bar low at first, so it’s easy to exceed our expectations – or are onions just that fascinating to talk about? (Also, Aaron gives up and lets Victor trail off into nothingness.)
