Justin Burr – Google Trends Top September Search Trends Transcript

Mason Paine: As we approach the end of September, Google has released its monthly list of the most trending searches. Justin Burr, Google Trends expert joins me today to discuss what people were searching for in September in categories like entertainment, culture, sports, science, and food. Thanks for joining me, Justin.

Justin Burr: Hey, always a pleasure.

Mason Paine: So tell me what has been going on for this month?

Justin Burr: Yeah. Well, I know the, one of the biggest things in entertainment, and I know you're super excited about this, is the Emmys. This was this past month and there was a lot of search interest around that. Most notably, who won the most Emmys.

Justin Burr: Well, the answer is White Lotus with 10 Emmys. Honestly. I don't really know anything about the Emmys, and I don't know anything about TV either, and I barely even recognize some of these names. Does it mean I'm old? Does it mean I don't know what I'm talking. I don't know. It's hard to keep up with all the TV going on right now, but we've got some big search interest around the acting nominees.

Justin Burr: We got Zendaya for euphoria number one trending, and she one lead actress in a drama. There's also Sheryl Lee Ralph for Abbott Elementary, not super familiar, but I do know at Quinta Brunson, she won best writing in a comedy for Avid Elementary. And there was a lot of controversy because in a joke, the presenters pulled Jimmy Kimmel out on stage, joking that because he had lost so many times in his own category, he got really drunk and passed out and they like pulled him on stage and he was just laying on the stage.

Justin Burr: When Quinta Brunson won and everyone was like, Hey dude, like funny joke, but like, Can you get off the stage so that she can have her moment? Did you see this? It was a bummer.

Mason Paine: Oh my God, I've heard about it. I didn't see it. It was kind of cringe, just like knowing what happened and that's why I couldn't really watch it because I get that second hand embarrassment

Justin Burr: Yep, for sure. It was, It was super cringe and also just like not a very funny joke and I feel. Generally Jimmy Kimmel has done well publicly, but that was a huge misstep even I was like, All right, I'm annoyed by this. I, I'm not really sure what the point of that is, but yeah, I, I mean, I don't, Do you watch any of these shows? Are you, are you tapped in here at all? Do you watch White Lotus Head laugh though?

Mason Paine: Man, I don't even know what any of that is. The only thing on the list I can think of is Better Call Saul. I know that one. Yeah. I, I watched season one and two of it. I haven't caught up with the rest. Uh, Stranger Things. I know that one. The rest of it, I'm like, What is this? This is some strange stuff. I'm gonna have to look it up.

Justin Burr: Yeah. I also agree. I know there, well, I think to my, what I was, what I just said was like, it's, we're just too saturated with good TV right now, which is a blessing and a curse because it's just so hard to keep up with all the stuff. But yeah, Ted Lasso won Best Comedy succession one best. I don't know. I'll tune in next year maybe.

Mason Paine: Uh, what else happened this month?

Justin Burr: Well, we had the unfortunate passing of Queen Elizabeth, so we made sure rest in peace,
