anyways yeah i've been watching these fucking dogs so i'm tired it's like worse than babies up in the middle of the night yeah i think babies are actually easier wait the dogs are that way well because babies don't have to go outside to go to the bathroom if they don't have to go outside to go to the bathroom and also like oh yeah they wear a diaper yeah i mean oh my god yeah these Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot. I just saw Justin get the idea that having a baby is easier than having a dog. Like, the look on your face. You're like, oh, yeah.

I just feel so bad. I don't know what the fuck you guys are complaining about all the time. Anytime someone brings up a baby, I'm like, oh, yeah, you know, my dog. And I feel bad for equating it. I'm like, it's way different. I'm sure it's just so much harder. Yeah, it's so much harder. And then anytime I bring it up, someone brings me and it's like, actually, you know, it's kind of similar. It's super similar. I was like, oh, okay.

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 337, episode 4 of Dirt Daily Zeitgeist, a tedious production of iHeartRadio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness, and it is Thursday, May 9th, 2024. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That means it's National Alphabet Magnet Day. It's National Sleepover Day. Oh, and look, it's National Moscato Day. Shout out to everybody who can sip a Moscato on a Wednesday or Thursday. National Butterscotch Brownie Day, too. Oh, and National Lost Sock Memorial Day.

I just had that. 90% of the socks that I've ever had, you know? Yeah. That's how it is at the end. I only have one of them, you know? Yeah. It is what it is. The other thing is, too, if I wash it with sheets, like a fitted sheet,

the other day I found a loose sock in the sheet after I unfolded it. So, you know, it's a good place to look sometimes for that lost one. I think they get like ingested into, like I think the washing machine like sucks them up with the water sometimes. That's my conspiracy theory. I haven't looked into it. You sound like a fucking idiot. Why would you say that? You sound like such a fucking idiot right now.

Why would you say that, bro? How? Where does it go? This is embarrassing, dog. Get out of here. This motherfucker talking about a washing machine ingested a sock. Ingesting socks? I don't know.

You sound like somebody who watches too many cartoons. What are you talking about? I think he eats it for breakfast and it's like their food, Marcella. Yeah. I bet you think that. I bet that you think that. One of your listeners is mad right now. He doesn't really think that.

I hate when she's on. You don't know Marcella. Yeah. I hate when she's on. It's so mean. Meanwhile, Jack has a fucking boner every time I make fun of him. It's a visible boner. It pops into the frame of the Zoom.

It's embarrassing. I think you grew up in an abusive household, y'all. I'm doing him a favor, okay, listeners? Yeah, we see Marcella's phone lighten up. She goes, oh, got another Zelle payment from Jack. Okay, yeah. Every time. Y'all don't even know how much you enjoy that shit.

Yes, thank you. Thank you, Queen Man. I remember when I was first on, this motherfucker wouldn't even look me in the eye. Well, yeah. I've had problems with eye contact throughout my life. Yeah, I know. It was just always cracking me up.

It's kind of how it started in my heart. I can't get this photo to look at me. How do I even look at me? And I started abusing you. And you loved it. That's so funny because I remember when Jack first hit me up when I was at my other gig and he was like, Hey man,

would you want to go podcasting? I remember we, we grabbed lunch like near La Brea or something. And the whole time I remember I hit up her majesty cause she used to work with you. And I was like, Hey, I don't know if this was for real.

Like he didn't look me in my eye or nothing the whole time. That could have just been a fever dream, but no, here we are. You should just be wearing sunglasses, bro, at all times. And then people just think you're mysterious and cool. That's how you do it. Poker face.

Poker face. That's what it is. It's actually, I do it on purpose because I've got so much to hide. Okay, R. Kelly, relax. Oh, shit.

My Kentucky public school in eighth grade, we did a school trip, the big school trip for like graduating eighth grade was to chicago which was super fun but we did not go to the art museum we went to medieval times and the mcdonald's the hell yeah the global mcdonald's yeah rock and roll the rock and roll mcdonald's is that in chicago rock and roll mc rock and roll McDonald's. Is that in Chicago? Rock and roll McDonald's? Yeah.

It's not rock and roll McDonald's anymore. I'm sure Super Producer Justin could verify that, but I remember it's way more modern now up in there. Yeah, yeah. The McDonald's of the future. Another thing. I'm giving you jewels here. I went to the global McDonald's before October.

I was eating McDonald's, but I went to the global one. And that was interesting. They have all the weird, not weird, I shouldn't say weird, but they have all the shit that is in other countries, like international McDonald's. So we went to that. That was really interesting. What did you get?

I don't fucking remember, bro. Come on. I wasn't expecting this conversation. I feel like there's always a lot of ham or like spam or like yes there is a lot of ham yeah yeah they do love ham they take the hamburger like very literally literal yeah absolutely yeah yeah all right marcella we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about we hate to give give RFK Jr. any more attention, but the headline on this one is too much for me to resist. He is claiming, claimed, I guess, back in 2012, that a worm ate part of his brain, and that's why he can't remember anything. and that's why he can't remember anything that's not a thing he said like offhandedly while drunk at a party it is a thing he said like in a deposition like in court he said that his brain

was eaten by a worm putting it on legal so we'll talk about that whether that's true uh we'll talk about the biden administration pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, which is not technically unprecedented. Can't wait to crack jokes on that. We might even talk about Jerry Seinfeld's weird Pop-Tarts January 6th movie. All of that. Plenty more. But first, Marcella, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? to ask our guest what is something from your search history well i haven't i haven't had a

lot of interesting searches but i did or something you screenshotted on your phone recently oh yeah i mean damn you didn't let me finish my oh my bad my bad man i hate you so much too today no no you don't hate me you don't hate me that's projection don't worry about that okay that's projection you're just your cup of hate for me is so full that it's spilling over. That's true. I'm in such a bad mood. Yeah. Your pimp hate cup runneth over.

The Drake-Hendrick situation was... It's a situation ship at this point. Yeah, it's a situation ship. I was so curious because I've hated Drake a very long time. And I've been pretty vocal anti-Drake for a very long time. I do it on stage. I spent the whole last year shitting on Ralph Barbosa's crowd because they're young men so they

all love Drake and that was so fun. I hope that they've been thinking about me this week. But anyhow, I was like, when did I start hating him? And I realized it was and that's when I googled that Bey-inspired song, The Motto. I couldn't remember the name of it but I was like, Bay-inspired Drake song. And I was like, I just, to confirm, I was like, there is no Bay producer.

There was no Bay rapper on it. And I remember that pissing me the fuck off. Oh, this is on Take Care. This was like his first big album. This was 2011. This was, I think, the third album. Damn, you do go way back with the Drake cake. I do, because when that happened, as much as, and I will say, I did enjoy the song,

because it is, it was a banger. That song goes, I was going to say. Yeah, and that was the thing. It was still early, so I was like, I mean, this song is good. And it took me a minute to be like, wait a minute, there's a bae feature on this. And then I looked it up, and I was like, and there's no bae producer on this? I was like, this is fucking whack. And that's when I was like, this guy's a fucking leech.

Because a lot, because I remember my brother being like, what? He's like, well, people, plenty of people, you know, do Bay Area music. And I was like, yeah, but they always have a Bay Area rapper featured on the song. Always when they dabble with the bass sound. And anyway, so I was like, oh, yeah, it's been since 2011 since I've been like side-eyeing that motherfucker and uh i just i'm very proud of that and that was one of my last interesting google searches yeah because that that in that song because he's he's he says rest in peace mag dray i'm gonna do it for the bay and you're like oh and i feel the video what wasn't the video also shot in the bay too i don't remember the video yeah i don't anyway like i i know what you

mean it is it's very raises an eyebrow raises yeah and it was my first time where i was like because i mean especially because the bay is so protective that i was like how did he get away with this but it was a slapper and it was early in his career and i was like maybe he just kind of like made a bad choice but nah no, it was intentional. He's ripped off everybody since then. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. We'll see where he shows his face or he's just going to post like just vacation videos for the next year or something. I can't wait to find out what happens. I hate him so much. I've been waiting for this week for so long. There's even people who are like, you know, could there be like legal consequences? Could they sue each other for what's happening and then like you know the fans are like i'm sure like the songs were vetted by lawyers it's like i don't i don't think so i don't know

i don't know he must have a big ass law firm like working around the clock kendrick if they were vetting that shit because those were coming out fast one also and if he has evidence you're like where are the police then yeah i mean i mean that's the thing though it's like what drake what suing like how much of a buster does that make him look like he can't do that like that would really ruin any kind of cool rep that he would even that he has little that he has like that's why it's so interesting when when you when you say that because it's like i mean rappers that's like you know code of conduct right it's like you don't sue each other for shit if it's a lie then it's a lie why would you sue like oh it's a lie i don't you know but if it's true and you have no proof that motherfucker andre hell it

that motherfucker has been having women sign ndas to go into his parties forever i had this friend who was a stripper and i remember her telling me and i was like what and um i was like yeah that's so fucking weird that you make people sign especially women sign ndas before you walk into your house party that's fucking weird yeah like if i did that it would just be like please don't tell anybody how messy my fucking apartment is. Right. Right. We do make people sign NDAs. Like, like imagine that.

Cause they would lock the phones. There was, he must be the original investor in yonder bags. Yeah. They would make the, these girls lock their phones and sign NDAs. Like it's a Louis CK show or some shit. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. That's weird. Yeah. Yeah. So there's a lot of stuff about that there's the millie bobby brown interview that just like resurfaced there's a few interviews from her she's like yeah he texts me and you know he missed me so much he answers questions for me about boys and they were like what do you mean and she was was like, oh, that's going to stay in the text. I was like, no. Well, get your parents over here.

I also just love the innocence of it because she genuinely thinks there's nothing wrong with it. And it's like, yeah, of course she doesn't know because she's a literal child. That's what groomers do. They trick you into thinking that what is happening is totally normal. Yeah. Dark side of the beef. Dark side of the beef. Dark side of the beef dark side of the beef dark side of the beef what is

something that you think is underrated marcel oh my god i don't even think about this um i think underrated i'll go palestine and i'll say overrated israel there you go keep it up okay overrated Overrated. Overrated. There you go. That's it. No further comments or questions. No further comments or questions, Your Honor. Yeah. Yeah.

That's what it feels like. Yeah. Shout out to students holding it down. Shout out to students. They're doing it. I was like, dude, so I hurt my foot and I re-injured my foot. I slipped in the rain. I re-injured it.

I don't even remember what now. I don't remember what it is. And it finally, this week, is starting to like, I can do physical therapy foot. I slipped in the rain. I re-injured it. I don't even remember what now. I don't remember what it is. And it finally this week is starting to like I can do physical therapy again. I was so thankful. But I've been like really bummed that I couldn't like go to any of these protests. Since October, I was like, I haven't been able to do shit. I've had to rest my foot. If I use my foot, it's to fucking go work on a weekend, you know.

Damn, I sound like a whore. And so it's just been so frustrating i'm like oh my god my foot's finally getting better this is so exciting i can maybe maybe go to something soon but um yeah i i really respect all those kids those student protesters there's high schools that are now getting involved like it's great i love it yeah i don't know how much longer they can keep up with the it's like it's fake it's tiktok shit because it's just i I mean, come on. Nobody's as stupid as you think they are.

But clearly they're so eloquent. Like in every interview, they're just like. They're college educated kids. They're not kids at all. I don't know. When I was in college, I was not that eloquent. Like they are smart as fuck. That's really impressive.

I mean, but that's why they have the designated speakers, right? Yeah, exactly. Because, you know, for that exact reason, because it's like, yeah, you know, you know, when something is wrong, but you can't express why it's wrong. Yeah, I have a feeling. But I also, there's just something so there's something so, I guess, poetic, and that these people have been trying to ban books. And it's like, yeah, now they're trying to ban TikTok. And it's like, yeah, education is really the Yeah, that's the problem. For right wing conservative Republicans. It's like, yeah. And now they're trying to ban TikTok. It's like, yeah, education is really the, yeah, that's the problem for right wing conservative Republicans. It's like they, the more information we have, because I always think about how the information we have about slavery and like text and literature, it's just so like, you're like, oh, this is terrible. But then when you like do actual research on your own, you like wait they were making furniture out of black people that's like their skin and using their hair to stuff you know the furniture and you're just like george washington's dentures you're like it's so crazy yeah i thought they were made of wood crazy and it's like oh this is why they're trying to obviously revisionist history exists but this is also why they're trying to reduce access to so much information knowledge literature yeah because i mean like

the more you know the like the more inadequate the response or attempt to rectify things becomes and you're like right i'm sorry i just read a whole bunch of shit and all you're doing is giving like a city an mlk boulevard right right right. Oh, no, no, no, no. We need to see money on the table. Right, that's so crazy. We're in interesting times. Interesting times. Yeah, for sure, for sure.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.

Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really in here. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?

Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

Let's check in with the Biden administration who are concerned about the incursion into RAFA and have paused a shipment of bombs, which progress. Technically unprecedented. Technically unprecedented.

Yeah. Technically, this hasn't happened since October 7th when Joe Biden is like, whatever y'all need, blank check. Go ahead. It is wild to see like what a shipment of bombs constitutes. Like, yeah, this is this is a shipment. OK, a shipment of bombs. They're like, you don't get your morning shipment. OK, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Thousands of bombs. okay yeah yeah yeah exactly thousands of bombs this is 1800 2000 pound bombs and 1700 500 pound bombs jesus christ and that's supposed to be i guess they're like the reasoning there being is like these are just too big for dense urban areas that we're really just worried about what they could do i mean we weren't worried up until now, but now we're looking at the polling and we're a little bit worried about that. And Lloyd Austin, the secretary of defense confirmed this Wednesday, because first it was like, apparently this happened last week. And he said, quote, we've been very clear from the beginning that Israel shouldn't launch a major attack into Rafah without accounting for and protecting the civilians that are in that battle space. And again, as we have assessed the situation, we have paused

one shipment of high payload munitions. We've not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment. Meaning, okay, so eventually you may hand it over? Yeah, what can they do? So,

what could they do to not to get their shipment of like massive bombs? Right. Exactly. It's like, OK, now you can have your bombs. They have to say they're not going to use them on Rafa. And then. Hey, I promise I'm just going to use them.

Oh, my God. What did you guys think we were going to do with them? You guys are crazy. Are you serious? You guys are literally crazy. I can't believe you're tripping. Joe, you're tripping right now. Oh my God. Did you hear what Joe said? Come on, you know me. Come on, you know me. You knew I wouldn't do that. We can't have our cyber truck sized bombs. Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah. Because we've has a,

we has a red line. I don't know. I mean, like, so this comes as the state department prepares a report that quote, examines whether Israel's war conduct is credibly in compliance with assurances that U.S. supplied weapons are not being used in contravention of U.S. and international humanitarian law. And just based on what I've seen, read, heard, the countless protests that are happening around the world, the ICJ ruling, it seems that it might be a lot of contravention going on there. But that's just a hunch. it might be a lot of contravention going on there, but that's just a hunch. I don't know if you need that full-on report, but that's just a hunch. And, you know, we're looking at over a million displaced Gazans in Rafah, right? And that was

supposed to be a safe place for people to go. But now that Israel has seized the border crossing there, things are becoming increasingly dire. And meanwhile, representatives of the Israeli government are saying that this Pazan arms shipment could affect the ceasefire talks. And it's like, OK, Jan, like it's been pretty clear that Netanyahu has no intention of stopping this genocide. So Biden needs I mean, I'm like it's not gonna change or it doesn't i'm i'm sadly so fucking cynical that's why it makes it so difficult to watch you know the government just playing our faces like they give a fuck about the people in gaza and the west bank for like every 10 fucked up headlines about like new mass graves being discovered and children being orphaned you get like one of these goofy ass headlines about how like Joe Biden privately wants the killing to stop or how Biden has a red line

that could shift US policy. But we're close to 35,000 deaths already. And it's fucking devastating. That we know of, that we know of. Exactly. And it's just devastating to see this. Yeah, all unfold and like have to be implicit as Americans while simultaneously having yet another reminder that like the only people that get a wink of humanity in this world are those that look white.

Yeah. And it's it, yeah, this is one of those headlines that I think they do to be like, okay, we know clearly the world, the pressure is cranking up around the world about what is, you know, this likely ground invasion of Rafa. And yeah, what we're getting to sort of pacify us

is one shipment of bombs paused. Like the fact that they're saying it could affect ceasefire talks like they're like we have all the weapons we need like you've already given us everything we need right like they're this isn't strategically going to affect us like stop us from doing shit it sounds like i think where they're just sort of more they know they're like i mean i you know for them their calculus is more like we are just going to fucking flatten Gaza. We don't give a fuck and we don't give a fuck how that destabilizes the regime in the United States or whatever.

So it's like this. It's just this really cruel back and forth. But yeah, we ally. Yeah, I feel like they they made that announcement to, like, soothe the students protesting. Yeah. Like they're that fucking stupid to be like oh my god they got one shipment paused so i guys they stopped the big bomb shipment we can everybody go home everybody's going down your dormitories what the fuck do you guys want

what more do you need they're dropping top of one shipment but i hear things are pretty frosty between jill and joe so yeah because his body has expired that's why she's not sucking his dick or playing with his balls what happened that's what she's like no more did he specifically say that that's he he just said like the key to a good marriage is good sex earlier this year did he say that he did say something like that and then everybody vomited yeah he's a he's a freak it's like yeah he looks like one of those remember in uh indiana jones in the last crusade when like the them king arthur fucking mummies come out and shit yeah the one that's

where he chooses unwisely and yeah yeah fades away that's kind of what that's the kind of vibe joe's giving me right now sarcophagus energy reference he's giving off like sarcophagal vibes yeah sarcophagus all right rfk jr is we talked yesterday about how he landed the big kevin spacey endorse. But now he is getting a little more attention because the New York Times just reported that back in 2012, during a deposition for his divorce case, he revealed that in 2010, he was experiencing memory loss and doctors thought he might have a brain tumor. But it turned out to be, according to Kennedy, this is according to him, the guy who's like, I should be president. According to that man, the reason he was forgetting things is, quote, a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.

That's what he thinks happened to his brain. Doctors don't think that happened doctors are like that's not a thing that's happened outside of a cartoon that we're aware of that's like a that's like a fuck boy lie to get sympathy from like a woman you're like but you don't even know girl like i don't remember because like in 2010 a fucking a worm went in my brain and ate it and died in there oh my god you should have told me that i know but it's like i didn't feel like i didn't want that i didn't want you to define me by that so i didn't want to tell you crazy yeah you're probably gonna leave me like everybody else does in my life

i should just kill myself again. What? This is so triggering for me. I've fucked so many fuckboys that I'm just like, yeah, they did say some really dumb shit. You're like, wait, I've actually heard this one.

Hold on. Did he say a tapeworm ate his brain and died again? They don't fuck RFJ. What's his name? RFJ. RFK Jr. RFKJ. RFJJK FRP. what's his name r rfk junior rfkj jk fr the the degree to which this guy knows he has like mental problems like brain problems because this is around the time that like he started going real

hard on the i guess he's been like an anti-vaxxer for a while but yeah it was like the time that like his ambition really picked up and like he's in this deposition saying quote i have cognitive problems clearly i have short-term memory loss and i have longer term memory loss that affects me the other distances of memory are pretty strong though besides short term and longer than short-term. Is that why he plays dumb, like, when he gets gotcha'd by journalists? Or like, yo, bro, what about all that, like, 9-11 shit

you were saying? He's like, I never said that. I had a worm. Because he doesn't, because a worm ate that part of his memory? Do you think he believes, that's what I'm saying, like, is that what he, I'm trying to regulate if he legit has, like, his memory's just fucked up and he's trying to blame a worm or he's, this is a story to set up to give himself like plausible deniability when he's home people need to accept it like when you start aging your memory goes like that's very normal

you can just say that yeah right that's that's nobody cares i mean look at biden he's doing just fine as our president i think it helps i think it because they don't have like the part of the brain that is like self-doubt like that that's one of the first things to go we're like well they're so successful we were all talking about them therefore they must know what they're doing and it's like no he's a person who is having so much trouble thinking straight that he thought a worm like ate part of his brain like a fucking cartoon apple i will also say he if he doesn't um win which he won't but he could definitely pitch a cartoon a conservative cartoon with a little worm as his little buddy right like brain worms is a thing right isn't that a thing

that conservatives scream about is like brain worm like i feel like alex jones has talked a lot about that but alex jones is a brain worm right he's definitely i would not be shocked if he were the one person affected by brain i always think about um trump being like if you don't get tested we won't the numbers will remain low i always think about that logic that a lot of conservatives like attach themselves to of like well if we don't do if we don't know numbers will remain low i always think about that logic that a lot of conservatives like attach themselves to of like well if we don't do if we don't know or don't do the thing like it doesn't exist it's like man what the fuck are you talking about that's what this feels like he's like i mean he's actively reclassifying deaths throughout the pandemic just being like well we don't know that that's like that's that's wild to think about how bad how bad that shit was having him be the president during the pandemic. But yeah, yeah, I just think like this is something that occurs to me like when you read stuff about World War Two and like Hitler was like really dumb.

was in like the like somebody was going to be that and he just happened to be the person in that position at that time and like this motherfucker is has a last name that is politically convenient and so there's going to be an entire like industry's worth of people trying to exploit his name and then he is just fueled by privilege and opportunism and i think his dimness both robs him of any like second thinking you know self-doubt and it also makes him a good engine for like sniffing out the crazy shit that's going to appeal to like self-serious dumb people as well you know like that he so he they're like yeah we got one of our own in there who thinks that the the covet vaccine is the the biggest problem and i like the way he thinks i like the way he thinks because that's how i think because that's how i think exactly god we're doomed it's it's not a great it's not a great menu that we have to choose from in this election.

I also wonder if the internet had existed when Hitler was alive. Like, how quickly would his downfall have happened? Oh, yeah. Someone would have Kendricked him. Right. You know what I mean? Like, someone would have came out with a diss and they're like, I don't know, bro. And he slept through D-Day.

Like, that's shit just like i never forget like he just he wouldn't wake up before noon and like because he's off the speed day at during world war ii like that's they should have just given him a bunch of vcrs he could have disassembled when he was tweaking all night yeah and they kept him distracted with that it's like yeah man why don't you open up that tv see what's inside man try and figure it out yeah i'll see you in 18 hours lullaby d-day god damn what a weirdo that's what's so wild though too and like people are being like this isn't the tapeworm thing is like bullshit and they're saying it's most likely caused by mercury poisoning yeah kennedy didn't say he was sushi that's's what I'm saying. You got the Jeremy Piven, Mercury Poison.

He got the Piven. He got Piven. Because you got the Piv. You were eating too much fucking sushi, too much omakase. Like, how many fucking proofs are you to? It's like, yeah, bro, I eat sushi like three times a day.

No rice, too. The white American diet, no rice, too many carbs. Yeah. Straight up. Just sashimi. Just sashimi all day. That's it.

It's like the physical form of affluenza you know like that people can get get off from killing someone because they have affluenza like their parents raised them to you know insulated from reality like the the physical version of that is like mercury poisoning from too much Like, I just can't stop eating this stuff, your honor. Yeah. Because he was, I mean, I Googled RFK sushi because I was just curious to see if, like, that's his shit. But the one headline I didn't find was, like, he was eating, like, sushi somewhere with, like, Alicia Silverstone. Oh, yeah.

Oh, my goodness. They were talking it up anti-vax style. Oh. Yeah. What a disaster. Yeah. Yeah. This is a depressing episode. I they're all like they're all depressings on some i don't think they all are pick your spots uh we'll pick something frivolous more frivolous please do but yeah it's just it is you know what you know what

bothers me is that as three of us all very smart capable human beings and we would never pursue politics because it's so fucking absurd to think like i'm gonna be in charge of you know a community of people and it's like it takes a real fucking weirdo and like every time these types of stories come out i'm just like yeah man like that's the kind of weirdo you have to be to be a politician and it's like even with aoc i remember being like i'm gonna i'm gonna love her at the beginning because i know eventually it's gonna turn that's just it's like, even with AOC, I remember being like, I'm going to love her at the beginning because I know eventually it's going to turn.

That's just normal. That's just what happens. And that is what's been happening. And it's just one of those things where you're just like, man, it doesn't matter if you do go in with good intentions

because, I mean, I don't know if anybody goes in with good intentions. But I think with those student activists, I'm always hopeful that those students that are protesting now are going to pursue politics.

Because I feel like that's the only way that this shit is going to change is like literal infiltration of educated young progressive people. Yeah, because if that's the game you need to be at to have a seat at the table, like you have to play the game differently. Because all of these people, I was talking to somebody who like had worked for like, like the White House, like in the 70s. And I was like, what the fuck is up with like all these people? And he's like, I'm telling you, they get in there and it's the coolest fucking job you've ever had. Like, they're like, yo, you can't like these armored cars and shit flying on Air Force One. And it just people just get hooked on that sort of level of being important to the point that they're like, OK, well, where am I? Where's my money coming from? So I can run my next campaign. I got to fucking kiss the ring. I got to bend the knee. Then I'll do that versus people who are like we just need like a World War Z type strategy of being like yeah man go in make the votes count if they fucking come in primary you like we'll just put 17 more bodies up that are ready to go with nobody who gives a fuck about staying there and having like a dynastic run as a congressperson because everyone's calculus is just to it's like once you get there is just to stay there stay there yeah i know and that's what like i think that's what poisons a lot of people on some level and there's only a few people that are able to kind of you know it's like maybe three

people that can even keep their principles it's like it's like a fucked up like a twilight zone version of fame right it's like at least like fame it's it just seems kind of cut and dry you know it's and then whatever unless you fucking end up in ditty's house uh it gets a little more complicated but you know like that but that that's the the the dynamics that you're dealing with and then like to be like to want political fame feels insane yeah right yeah it feels like that is the thing that is most noteworthy about all of them is that they've made that decision to pursue that like that's the strangest thing about them. It's not like, oh, they're so much smarter. Right, right.

They're like, they're smart. There are a lot of smart people in a lot of different industries. The thing that is unique and defining about all the people in this is that they don't think it's weird that they're in charge of other people, you know? Right, and a lot of them,

especially like with Kennedy, it's like the they're self-funding so they're just like yeah i mean i could i'll only imagine the type of i just speak about comics because that's my my world but like if comedians that are great actually had the money to self-fund the way like j-lo fucking self-funded that stupid fucking movie yeah 20 million dollars you know it's like bitch you can use that money for something good all right but it's just like it's that you know they perpetuates whatever it is that you want to perpetuate and it's just such a bummer that principled people like don't want to be wealthy and don't want to like have a

power over people which is good but it's just like fuck man how do we how do we really change all this shit you know exactly what you were saying it's like to have 17 people ready to fucking infiltrate that shit yeah because that's the thing that gets people in line you know like they go oh you don't you don't want to take this money from from apac right guess what then we'll primary you and it takes someone to be like i don't give a go ahead yeah because we'll run somebody i got fucking 35 000 people behind me that are ready to fucking also just be a body, just to be a vote, like not to be a career politician, but to be a vote. And I think that's like a paradigm shift that may or may not happen. But I don't know.

Like there's there's so many other factors at play. Seems exhausting. Yeah. Yeah. I started rewatching Veep and I'm just like so like, yeah, this has got to be what it's like. This shit is so insane. How could it not be this? That's what all the political operatives were like.

This is the first time it's actually been accurate. Yeah. Except like our insults aren't as good as their insults. Of course not. They're not that smart. In DC, they call it Hollywood for ugly people. You know what I mean? That's what they say.

That's funny. But the wild shit is like, so with this RFK, the thing that really fucking blows my mind, right, is like after this like brain worm shit, like someone asked, you know, his campaign about being like, yo, this guy said he's got like he's saying, yo, I got cognitive issues. Right. And they're like, is this going to be a problem? And the spokesperson said, quote, that is a hilarious suggestion given the competition. Right. Oh, wow.

They're so right. That's what fucks me up. And they're so right. He's up against a decrepit monkey skeleton and a sentient racist diaper. And you're like, yeah, I don't know, the motherfucker who ate too much sushi, I guess, who ate anti-vax. That's what I'm saying. That's so frustrating. There's like much better, you know, qualified, smarter, more intelligent, more eloquent people.

But it's like they don't have the funding. And it's like, J-Lo, take that $20 million and fund someone interesting to get into politics. Everything feels insane. That J-Lo movie is timeless. That's going to be a museum in the future. Shut the fuck up, Jack O'Brien. That part, yeah, yeah. With fucking Post Malone being one of the fucking whatever the Zodiac characters.

I couldn't even get through. I think I got through the second song and I was like, yeah, I'm not doing this. This is insane. Yeah. Post Malone's in the movie? Yeah. through i think i got through the second song and i was like yeah i'm not doing this this is insane yeah i mean i think in the movie yeah he plays like there's like a there's like a council of the zodiac symbols and like people are like embodying the lips yeah no i i watched it it's just he disappears into his roles so much that i couldn't smelly balls get it together i thought it was pre-malone people the other thing is like, yeah, I think hopefully more people just understand, right, that with our, the illusion of having primaries and things like that, it's truly what the ruling class wants to put on the menu for us.

You know, I'm like, because there are so many progressive people that have tried to run, get bodied out. You see what happens to like, you know, every, nearly every election cycle, there's someone who's like, has a message that is trying to go against the status quo. And it's just like, well, let's pretend. You know what? Fuck them. Get them out of here. You know what? Also, I'll say to that, too.

I have a friend who's voted third party as long as I've known her. And she's a civil rights lawyer. She's about it, about it, right? And I have never looked down on her when she would do that because i was like that's fucking her choice you get to fucking make whatever choice she wants but with this round where like i've been telling people like i don't know i don't know what i'm gonna do like i'm gonna obviously vote for all the other shit i was like but i don't know i think i'm just gonna leave it blank for you know the president because i just i feel i feel insane i don't feel principled i mean i don't feel like it's principled. And I have gotten so many

condescending responses to that. And I'm just like, and I ended up texting my friend that again, has been voting third party since she's been able to. I asked her if I've ever been a condescending dickhead to her because I've never experienced, I've never, I've never thought about voting third party or just not voting for the Democrat. And uh i've been talking to people about that and yeah everyone's so rude anyways she was like no you've never been that way and i was like thank god i was like i i mean logically it makes no sense but it just made me glad that i was never that person because it just it feels so insane that people are just so they have no desire to think that change or improvement can exist like it's an option like it's just not an option for

people and i find it so it's it's really disheartening i guess i just want to say that i mean i think it also speaks to a level of comfort someone is experiencing when you can look at all these things on the horizon and for many people they're like yo this looks like this ends with me being imprisoned or having rights severely restricted and they're like no i've been good i'll probably be good yeah and then they're like, no, I've been good. I'll probably be good. Yeah. And then they're like, fuck this up for me. And, you know, that's why I think it's this is such a fucking precarious election, man, because everything that's it can be a completely different dimension but like what we are seeing even with the way this like the police are behaving with students you look at in the 60s like in the 70s like these vietnam protests there was no militarized response off the fucking bat like there is now that's right this is this is completely different shit like they would have time travelers been like oh shit they're doing all like that already right they're like you know it's like it's anyway the times are

very different and i think that's what just makes it very hard to like think about how how things improve and what the the pathway there is and like yeah the other times when i talk to like people who do a lot of like activist work like in the streets and stuff and doing like working for like non-profits and things they're like they're like i think my job would be a lot harder if trump's in office because they'll you know the kinds of shit that they would try and make illegal would make it really hard for me to work with like very vulnerable people and it's just like there's so many there's so many late there's so many things to consider yeah but yeah it's but i think everybody's going through it and we shouldn't be condescending to each other on you know what it's also just what a what a terrible way to

approach any conversation that someone is trying to have sincerely you know yeah you can't actually have a conversation about this you need to be a dickhead off jump right it's like you can't the daily zeitgeist and you're not a guest you can't just do that right sorry for the dog working i'm dog sitting if we didn't already know no no no crazy oh really she know cochina cochina yeah all right should we take a break and come back and talk about jerry seinfeld's weird movie yeah yeah that's a bumper.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because

of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? Just come here and play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. Power, power! Hey, how about that? Outro Music yeah capture my energy for sure because i am venmoing you every time you call me smelly balls oh my god miles the asian guy tell us about some of the wacky stuff you've been eating man

smell like that how much garlic do you eat bro you guys eat a lot of garlic, don't you? I'm like, yeah, I'm black too. Yeah, yeah, but most people think you should be on that. You guys eat a lot of garlic, don't you? What? Why is it garlic? All right. Should we talk about some pop culture that's, I don't know, still somewhat problematic.

But Jerry Seinfeld dropped Unfrosteded we talked about the trailer when it came out it's just it looked unhinged i still haven't seen it our writer jm has seen it and says it's seemed to side with a review that i'll read excerpts from in a moment but you know the trailer has it's like about the invention of the Pop-Tart, but like Tony the Tiger and Snap, Crackle, and Pop are characters in the film. Like it just looks kind of unhinged.

Cinema. It looks very cinematic. Cinnamon. So in this case, Tony the Tiger represents Ennui. we no he just represents tony the tiger he's just he makes sense it's a world where tony the tiger is a real thing that makes cereal i guess so it dropped it's quickly gone to the top of the netflix top 10 movies chart this weekend unclear if that's just people who wanted something to have listened

to while assembling ikea furniture but it's it's at number one it's been at number one for a few days that is shocking that it's even number one yeah that's number one people well so seinfeld the show is you know one of the most watched things on Netflix. So I do wonder how much crossover there is there, like a new Seinfeld thing. Let's see. It's at 41% on Rotten Tomatoes. And one review that our writer, J.M., seems to agree with, called it, quote, one of the decade's worst movies,

questioned why Seinfeld didn't, quote, halt production halfway through and apologize to everyone for wasting their time. Which is so pretty intense. Have you heard the story when he talked, like I saw him do an interview about it and he was saying

he just wanted something to do during the pandemic. He wrote this like fever dream thing. Like I said, this self-funding shit is just so insane. It's out of control. I was reading that it's one of the least viewed movies on that even though it's like it is at number one it's it's just showing how how bad viewership is right now because it's like the least people aren't actually watching it that much but just nobody's watching movies right now yeah yeah it's pretty wild when something is like self-funded

self-started from somebody like seinfeld who like people are probably dying to like get him to make something for them but the most talked about moment in the movie is the climax which is a parody of the january 6th riot but with people in mascot costumes. So comedy. Yeah. Hugh Grant's Tony, the tiger even wears a QAnon shaman ask outfit and urges a sea of striking mascots to siege the building in the movie. It's to stop the FDA from certifying pop tarts,

like because they are worried that pop tarts are going to take their jobs or something. Oh, my God. Yeah, it is. Yeah. While replacing, referencing the Great Replacement Theory. So it's all just these, like, weird. Oh, my God. Are you serious?

Yeah, yeah. It's, like, these weird, empty gesture, empty references to, like, white supremacy from somebody who by the way has like recently been like you can't be funny anymore because you can't be funny anymore because of dei dei ruined comedy it's the woke what's the deal with dei deal with equity yeah but yeah the q anon shaman gave it a glowing review but like so one of the film screenwriters explained in an interview that it was all because they were writing a movie there was an actual strike at kellogg's and the insurrection happened and it was never he said quote it was never we want to do a gen six thing when you're building a story you're just putting a piece on top of peace and that story led us there oh my god

you're just putting a piece on top of peace. And that story led us there. Oh my God. And he's also like, it's funny to have a bunch of costumed creatures doing violent things, which like, that's a good description of writing when you have nothing to say, right? You're putting a sentence on top of a sentence.

When the only thing you have is money. Just stacking sentences out here. Wow. And yes, men who are like, Oh, Jerry, that's so fucking genius to combine.

So there's an actual workers' strike at Kellogg's. Don't worry about what they're striking for. Indistinguishable in Jerry Seinfeld's mind, by the way. The January 6th riots and a workers' strike at Kellogg's. Right. By the way, Kellogg's. That's the same thing. Look at these people.

What's their problem? What are they so upset about? They get free cereal. You're not starving. Kellogg's workers were striking, by the way, because of horrific labor practices that recalled the dark, satanic mills era of factory work where understaffed facilities were forcing people to work 72 to 84 hour work weeks. And that's the thing. He's like, I don't know. They seem mad. Who cares? Holy shit.'s crazy i mean good for you good for you i mean yeah i remember we were

this is like this such a legit thing and the the the mixing of those two things like such a giveaway of like his worldview and whatever the fuck he just wants to say with this movie is to be like people fighting for equity then far right answer right who gives a shit it's the same let's laugh yeah he was also him and eddie murphy had a good comedians and cards getting coffee because uh i don't know if it was him who said it or eddie or they both agreed on it but they're talking about how like once you have money you're not funny yeah it's like well you had this conversation you've agreed with it and you are still doing this like what right yes seinfeld was on that first episode of the millennia show and he just like seemed he like could gesture at like he would say things like what's the deal with this what what's going on here but like he

just i don't know. The life was like missing behind his eyes. I mean, he's definitely been on the worst press tour I've ever seen. Like just most unfunny shit. He keeps complaining about shit that he don't need to be complaining about. Yeah. And then he even did like SNL cameo on weekend update,

like be like guy who's been on a promo tour or whatever. And he just wasn't funny. It was, it's just, it's just so disappointing as someone who I was watching seinfeld at 12 years old i loved that show that was like some of my first like like white comedy i liked as a kid that i was like this is really fucking interesting and good of course that it was 12 years old and you know like that was peak comedy for me and i just see what he has done it's just it's just it's such a bummer to

know you've invested you've given this person money like it's such a fucking that's how i feel about uh kim kardashian like if i hadn't given brandy money when i was a kid listening to i want to be down ray j would have never fucked kim kardashian we never would have had her i feel like everything comes down to me yeah I just feel like everything is my fault including this. I'm sorry everyone. I just want to apologize to our listeners.

I'm the reason that Pop-Tart movies exist. But I think every time he makes something on his own and Larry David makes something on his own

we like learn a little bit more clearly what the genius was behind Seinfeld. Absolutely. I think it's probably making him a little bit pit like he probably doesn't feel great about that maybe and that's why he's such a cranky old

fuck this is the same thing with chapelle and neil brennan everybody was like oh chapelle show chapelle is chapelle and it's like over time we've learned part of the magic was neil brennan and we had no idea and like the more not that i even love ne love Neil Brennan that much, but Chappelle has really proven what, you know, what kind of comedy he's trying to do. And Neil is like actively always trying new shit

and, you know, experimenting and, you know, exploring new spaces. Still capable for Dave. I feel the same way about them that I feel I agree with Larry and Jerry. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, there's a reason Larry left at a certain point. I think he left on season seven or some shit like that. Yeah. And also, Julie Louise Dreyfuss. Like, just fucking amazing. I mean, that cast is, you know, the three were insane.

Yeah. I mean, they were all incredible on that show. And Julie Louise Dreyfuss has proven that she fucking can carry anything. New Adventures of Old Christine. I mean, god damn, that show is so funny. Is it really? I need to go back and watch that. Oh my god, that show is really... I mean, I feel like Veep is like...

Blows it out of the water at this point, but that's, you know, what we like. But New Adventures of Old Christine is very funny. Yeah, just like started like, you know, midway. Those early episodes you gotta just skip. Yeah, I get it. But it's just so those workers

were striking to oppose legitimately terrible conditions and a literal billionaire because seinfeld is now a billionaire decided to use that strike as inspiration for his movie that then became a glorified commercial for the company that they were striking against in kellogg because now like kellogg is releasing like tie-in pop- pop tart boxes that like tie into the movie and shit. So it's just, yeah, but that's, yeah,

this is where we're at. This is where we're at. And this is where we're at. Marcella. Yay. It's always such a pleasure having you on, as you know, for me to really wanted to talk about. No, for me. I really wanted to talk about...

No, just kidding. I never want to. You wanted to talk about drones? Yeah, I really wanted to talk about drones invading my privacy. Yeah. It's great having you. Thanks for having me. I'm sorry I've been chaotic.

The last two episodes, I think I've been a mess. Really? Once my life gets back on track, I will be a perfect guest. Chicago Marcel? Yeah, Chicago Marcel is going to be in such a great... I'm going to be getting dick all the time. I'm going to be ready for comedy at every corner of that city. Oh, so you're blaming a dick deficit?

Is that what's going on? Absolutely. Oh, okay. Because you don't get sleep, but you get some dick the first thing in the morning. You're like, you know what? I can get through this day. I can have some laughs people people you know people carry um trauma in their hips you guys know that right and i saw someone i've heard that so i saw someone tweet

yesterday like you guys are confusing healing and hoeing and it's like hey it's easy to mix up when you hold trauma in your hips because sometimes fucking gets the trauma out of you and you don't even realize the problem is that dick gives you more trauma if that motherfucker's a dickhead and then you got more trauma to unfold and you just got to keep fucking it's a sick cycle you got to fuck your way through it yeah fuck your way through it open those balls knows what i'm talking about hey this guy that's another 50 that's another 50 hey oh man you are bankrupting me over here Marcelo where can people

find you and wait oh in the piece of media right sir yeah and is there a word in media that you've been enjoying

I'm so impatient your listeners are right I'm a dickhead are they really that mean to you they love you I don't care I just like playing into it

it's really funny to me yeah when people don't like me, I'm just like, I can make it worse. I'm not big. Oh, yeah. I miss it.

I do think we should start having like wrestling entrance music when you're on. Oh, that'd be tight. Like what Miles and I are just up top talking. Oh, yeah. Like the Undertaker.

Oh, yeah. Look who just came in. Oh, my God. That's Marcella's music. Oh, yeah, brother. I'm here to fucking insult you and your mama. Gong. Just the Undertaker gong. Yeah. Oh, yeah, brother. I'm here to fucking insult you and your mama. Gong.

Just the Undertaker gong. Oh, my God. I loved wrestling as a kid. Wrestling is perfect for children. Absolutely. And some adults. No, but okay. They keep the money in it.

Oh, man. There's a clip of Ric Flair so drunk at a bar in Florida that was going around on the internet is that the one where he complained about how they wouldn't let him go to the bathroom or whatever he's like I never said cuss words to you and you're like oh my god bro how is this guy fucking alive he seems easy to get

to say a slur like you could get him to say a slur very quickly yeah yeah yeah he's slipping up for sure well my socials are at Marcella Comedy. You can find me everywhere on socials at Marcella Comedy. And the piece of media I've been enjoying is this girl, Brianna Weimar. She's on Instagram.

That's where I follow her. I'm sure she's on TikTok, but she's going to be banned from there soon. So follow her on Instagram. Her handle is itsgoodbye20s, as in farewell,'s goodbye 20s she has the most fucking hilarious videos there she calls it unhinged parenting and she does that style of like my son's school said that he needs to have you know more protein in his lunches so

and then she'll like make a completely it's all fake it's all hilarious it's all satire but people think it's real because of how she has cut it up and it's just i strongly recommend everybody to just go just get a good laugh and we all need a good laugh it's really unhinged very funny and she makes it like yesterday she made a my my son's school said i've been giving him too much sugar but that's what he likes to get through the day. And then she made him a fake hot dog with a Twinkie in half, put cheese and a fucking Slim Jim inside of it, put red and yellow frosting on top. It's so funny. It's just for the sake of being humorous, and I love it.

And people get actually mad at her in the comments, which makes it more funny, too. Yes. Yeah. Nobody can understand that. Yeah, it's so funny. That's great. Amazing.

Miles, where can people find you? Is there a work of media you've been enjoying? Yeah, Twitter, Instagram, at Miles of Grey. If you want NBA talk, that's Miles and Jack. I'm at Boosties. If you want 90 If you want NBA talk, that's Miles and Jack. I'm at Boosties. If you want 90-day fiance talk, that's 420-day fiance with Sophia Alexandra. Some tweets I like. First one is at House of Decline, H-A-U-S.

He said, Obama-era McLemore. I'm super-duper not gay, but they should have they hold on obama era mclemore i'm super duper not gay but they should have rights uh biden era mclemore there should be global intifada yes and then uh another one uh another uh show favorite josh gondelman uh at josh gondelman tweeted the worst outcome of the kendrick lam Lamar Drake beef would obviously be escalating physical violence, but the second worst would be if this all was leading up to a Sprite commercial. Oh, my God.

That's racist. You can't say that. Obey your thirst. Jack, where can people find your stupid smelly balls? Oh, my God. Find my stupid smelly balls anywhere. Yeah, see, I got them all nervous, listeners. He's like, oh, he said something mean.

First of all, you can't find them anywhere because they're not smelly. They smell great. And a tweet I've been enjoying is, there's this House of Decline comic that four panels, first panel is two people saying, it's weird how 9-11 became a national holiday. And the other person says, oh no, that means,

and then cut to Jack Skellington, like in the forest of the holidays from Nightmare Before Christmas, opening up the 9-11 portal. And then he's like popping out of an airplane bathroom going, what's this what's this and the plane is like flying into the twin towers you're a sick fuck what the hell what the fuck is wrong with me oh my god i'm a little twisted i'm a little twisted the other one better be good shout out better be good bro all right that first one was sick and not in a cool way not in and not cool not cool somebody tweeted the my favorite video on the internet which is the bowler pete weber throwing a strike that wins the tournament

and turning around and saying and saying who do you think you are i am and they say pete weber was not trying to go viral when he won the 2012 PBA US Open. All he wanted to do was to show up a 12 to 14 year old who jeered against him a little too loudly for his liking. And M. Nate Shyamalan tweeted, I love the revelation that all of this was to stick it to a middle schooler.

And that's real talk. But that's amazing that he was yelling that at a child. That is my favorite clip on the internet. Who do you think you are? I am? Was him trying to yell at a 12 year old and then fucking it up so bad

he couldn't complete it. I fucked up. I'm sorry Marcel. These are terrible. You're a weirdo bro. We fucked up. I'm sorry, Marcel. These are terrible. These are both bad. You're a weirdo, bro. We learned a lot about you with those two.

You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien liking sick, fucked up shit like that. No wonder your balls are so smelly. You think that's what makes my balls smelly?
