[00:00] Lila Grant: I am Leela Grant and you're listening to Buzz, your daily guide to everything lighting up the internet. [00:06] Lila Grant: From historic award wins to the return of pop royalty, we have a packed show today. [00:12] Jonah Klein: And I'm Jonah Klein. It feels like every time we think the feed is calming down, three massive announcements hit at once. [00:19] Jonah Klein: We're talking music history, fantasy epics, and even some medieval kebab testing. [00:25] Lila Grant: Jonah, I don't think people were ready for the notification that hit their phones this morning. [00:29] Lila Grant: The official Saturday Night Live account basically broke the internet with just three words, Harry Styles. [00:36] Jonah Klein: It's the holy grail of SNL bookings. [00:39] Jonah Klein: He's doing double duty on March 14th, both hosting and performing. [00:44] Jonah Klein: The fan reaction was instantaneous. [00:46] Jonah Klein: PopBase and HS Daily had thousands of reposts within minutes. [00:50] Lila Grant: It's been a minute since we've seen him in that sketch comedy environment, and he always... [00:54] Lila Grant: always delivers. The last time he did double duty, it was legendary. Fans are already starting the [01:02] Lila Grant: like 2026 bingo card jokes because this feels like such a major win for the year. [01:08] Jonah Klein: Absolutely, Lila. And speaking of major wins, we have to talk about the Brit Awards. [01:13] Jonah Klein: Pink Panthers didn't just win. She made history. [01:17] Jonah Klein: She is officially the first female and the youngest artist to ever win producer of the [01:23] Jonah Klein: year at the Brits. [01:24] Lila Grant: That is such a massive deal, Jonah. [01:28] Lila Grant: Production has been a notoriously male-dominated field for so long, seeing her get that recognition, [01:34] Lila Grant: especially given her unique sound that practically defined a whole era of digital music, is [01:40] Lila Grant: so rewarding for her fanbase. [01:43] Jonah Klein: For sure. It's one of those moments where the industry finally catches up to what the fans have known for years. [01:50] Jonah Klein: She's a visionary. [01:52] Jonah Klein: It's a milestone that really sets the tone for our music as heading. [01:55] Lila Grant: From the stage to the Seven Kingdoms, let's talk about Dunkin' Egg. [02:00] Lila Grant: We finally got some concrete details on season two of A Night of the Seven Kingdoms. [02:05] Jonah Klein: Discussing film dropped the breakdown and fans are hyped. [02:09] Jonah Klein: We're looking at six episodes, each between 30 and 60 minutes. [02:14] Jonah Klein: This season we'll be adopting the Sworn Sword story, [02:17] Jonah Klein: and the big news is that Dunkin' Egg are heading to Dorn. [02:21] Lila Grant: Wild. [02:22] Lila Grant: Dorn is always a fan-favorite location in the Game of Thrones universe. [02:26] Lila Grant: It brings a completely different aesthetic and political energy. [02:30] Lila Grant: But Jonah, the kicker is the weight. [02:32] Lila Grant: It's officially in production, but we're eyeing a 2027 release. [02:37] Jonah Klein: The long wait for Prestige TV is the new normal, Lila. [02:41] Jonah Klein: But knowing they have a clear roadmap for adopting the novellas makes it easier to swallow. [02:46] Jonah Klein: It's a tighter, more focused story than the main series. [02:50] Jonah Klein: And that's why people love it. [02:51] Lila Grant: While fans wait for 2027, the football [02:54] Lila Grant: world is living in the moment. [02:56] Lila Grant: Over in Turkey, Finnerbache's home match against Kasambasha just kicked off in Katakai, and [03:01] Lila Grant: the atmosphere on social media is electric. [03:04] Jonah Klein: The official club account posted the kickoff and it immediately drew thousands of likes. [03:09] Jonah Klein: The passion of those supporters in Katakai is unmatched. [03:12] Jonah Klein: matched. You can practically feel the roar through the screen when you see those hashtags [03:17] Lila Grant: trending. [03:17] Lila Grant: It's that real-time community energy that keeps the buzz going. Whether it's spores [03:22] Lila Grant: or entertainment, people just want to experience these big moments together. [03:27] Jonah Klein: Speaking of things people want to see together, have you seen the kebab video, Leela? [03:32] Lila Grant: You mean the crossbow versus the lance? Yes. It's from an account called Ear Clacks [03:37] Lila Grant: and it is weirdly satisfying. [03:39] Lila Grant: They basically pit a crossbow against a lance, but the targets are kebabs. [03:44] Jonah Klein: It's pure internet gold, high-speed cameras, quirky destruction visuals, and absolutely no context required. [03:52] Jonah Klein: It's the kind of content that stops your scroll because you just have to know which ancient weapon is better at obliterating a snack. [03:59] Lila Grant: It's those little moments of absurdity that balance out the big industry news. [04:04] Lila Grant: One minute you're analyzing the glass ceiling and music production. [04:07] Lila Grant: The next you're watching a Lance Pierce a kebab. [04:10] Lila Grant: That's the beauty of the internet. [04:11] Jonah Klein: It really is a wild ride every day. [04:13] Jonah Klein: From Harry Styles' SNL return to historic Britwins and the future of Westeros, [04:18] Jonah Klein: the conversation never stops moving. [04:21] Lila Grant: And that is our roundup for today. [04:23] Lila Grant: I'm Leela Grant. [04:24] Jonah Klein: And I'm Jonah Klein. [04:26] Jonah Klein: Thanks for joining us on Buzz.
