What did the president know? JD. And trend, did he know it? There it is. What we're trying to figure out. What we're trying to figure out. You can hear the birds in my backyard because I had to open things up a little bit. Got a little musty in here.

Taking in that outdoor energy we were talking about. Taking in that, mmm, the sun's golden energy. When you said, mmm, you're like, I'm going to eat one of these birds. You're like, wait, what? Well, I am Jack. That over there is Miles. And these are some things that are trending today.

We have the story of Rebel Wilson, who was threatened to be outed by the Sydneydney morning herald yeah last week we got a she posted to social media she said this is my partner i found my disney princess and i was like okay rebel good for you look at you found your love but then the sordid part of this is that like you're saying this sydney morning i'm just gonna read this because they came out with a post today where they're trying to defend this shit and they just sound worse. So part of this column says, so it was an abundance of caution and respect that this media outlet emailed Rebel Wilson's representatives on Thursday morning, giving her two days to comment on her new relationship with another woman before publishing a single word.

This is for the L.A. Leisurewear designer, Ramona Agruma. And then the next line says, big mistake. Wilson opted to gazump the story, posting about her new Disney princess on Instagram early Friday morning, the same platform she had previously used to brag about her handsome ex-boyfriend,

wealthy American beer baron, Jacob Bush. Sorry. You just kind of went over a word there yeah they they published the gizump to gizump the story yep mate um then they go on to say up to now mad that she scooped them about information about her personal life that this is so disgusting too where they're also like and miss us with the homophobia stuff they said quote up to now wilson had identified publicly as a heterosexual woman it is unlikely she would have experienced the sort of discrimination let alone homophobia subconscious or overt that sadly still affects so many gay lesbian and non-hetero people we're actually the ally and

she is bullying us by not letting us tell her story there's another part it says of course who anyone dates is their business but Wilson happily fed such purient interest when she had a hunky boyfriend on her arm

oh my god Jesus stop self-owning in your own fucking paper and i think they took the column down because we were like really they're like oh fuck no sorry uh no why did you think that was fit to print oh but it does it does look like they've come out and uh with clear eyes and you know in the cold sober light of morning uh andrew ornery or hornery ornery came out and apologized for the newspaper mishandling steps in their approach and it's reporting uh the most indirect uh apology like geometrically you couldn't be we mishandled certain steps in our approach to a story so that is we we are effectively

four degrees of separation from uh any mistake that you might have perceived what if like also they're like coming out as gay it's like maybe she's coming out as gay. Maybe she's bi. There's just so much wrong with all the reporting on this. All right, Sydney Morning Herald. We've got bloody Gazumped. Gazumped is great,

though. I mean, it sounded good when you said it. You just kind of dropped it there like I wasn't going to comment on it. But it worked. I think gazumped. I'm assuming it means a broad spectrum of things that could be having a story scooped. But also, I was driving down down the street and then a car came

out of nowhere and i got gazumped from the side like i feel like that would work right it's just a zump from the side it's like yo shorty let me gazump it from the back like i don't know well there you go it's the most in my uh understanding of australian dialect, it is the most versatile word in the English language. I'm sorry, maybe I didn't hear you. Did you read the apology part? I just read the mishandled steps in our approach. Oh my god. The writer, he said, that was never my intention, but I see, uh, she has handled it all with extraordinary grace talking about how like

they genuinely regret pressuring her. And then said, as a gay man, I'm well aware of how deeply discrimination hurts the calmness. Wow. Really, sir, just leave her alone.

Just let this thing rest. Um, mishandled steps in our approach. Cool. So that means that they get it. Let's talk about Jennifer Hudson. Let this thing rest. Mishandled steps in her approach. Cool. So that means that they get it. Let's talk about Jennifer Hudson. We got a new EGOT.

New entrant to the the pearly gates of cultural I don't know. It's rarefied air, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's only 17. With her, she makes number 17. That's amazing. And that's a list of Rita Moreno,

Audrey Hepburn, Marvin Hamlisch, Mel Brooks, Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Rice, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, Alan Menken.

So she just completed it by winning a Tony for being co-producer of A Strange Loop, which won for Best Musical. And also, oh, it's wild, because when you look at EGOTs, they're people who are winners, but they didn't get non-competitive awards. So Barbara Streisand gets in there liza minnelli gets in there james earl jones harry belafonte and quincy jones as well but the other people they won that shit i can't wait you're who who so there's a dividing line between the people who got like honorary awards yeah because she got like a like exactly like an honorary like a star of the

decade tony award so she did get a tony award but it's an honorary one it's a non-competitive one she being barbara stride that's for babs yes got it and then for uh liza minnelli liza Minnelli won a Grammy Legend Award. James Earl Jones won a Academy Honorary Award. It's like, damn, this man should have had fucking Academy Awards. Yeah, I mean, all of these I feel like are ones where it's like, yeah, but those are well-earned honorary awards. It's not like Bill Cosby claiming that he has like 70, you know, college degrees or whatever doctorate honorary doctorates. Like it's, it feels more like those are like,

they're like, we didn't really have this award back then, or we, we were fucked up. So here we're doing right. Yeah. This is, but you know what?

I'm glad that, cause it's like James Earl Jones. You're like, yeah, Harry Belafonte. You're like, yeah, I believe like... Because it's like James Earl Jones, you're like, yeah. Harry Belafonte, you're like, yeah. I believe... Like when he's won every single other thing, you're like, man, give him the Humanitarian Award

for the Academy Awards. Get him. And Quincy Jones, you'd feel like... EGOTs don't... Quincy doesn't need EGOTs, baby. Right. He's like, what am I going to do with EGOTs? Couldn't care less.

Come on, man. You like Brazilian music? You want to look at uh some uh some pictures i sketched with people when i was at the park real bored i was fucked up bad on lsd man uh idaho is trending this is a big story over the weekend a bunch of neo-nazis got arrested uh after they tried to interrupt a pride event yeah so they would they were in like a u-haul truck dude it was so this the visuals are ridiculous there's like this clip of them because they were just they're just gonna you know mob out of this back of a u-haul and be

like what's up y'all didn't see us coming surprise motherfuckers and the cops already knew so they pulled this shit over and they had guns on this fucking U-Haul van and when they rolled up the roll-up door in the back the posture of them with their hands up couldn't look more like a comedy where like the fascist like bruiser

you know brute guys were like no no smoke please and they were basically marched out. They arrested them. There's a ton of footage of them being arrested. And a lot of people were like, wow, look at that. The cops just interrupted these fascists from pulling up.

The wild thing is their mug shots came out. That's all public. And then they're getting doxxed like a lot of like, you know, extremist researchers do and stuff like that. But then they're responding by doxxing like the cordelaine police in idaho and accusing the cops of being like pedophile defenders because they because the logic is we're gonna go break up a pride event and by you doing that means you are on their side and then more like fascist people are like coming out posting stuff it's like the cops are the problem they keep getting in the way

and I'm like oh boy that's an interesting group to pick a fight with long walk but yeah and they were also saying stuff like without the cops you wouldn't have BLM I mean that is interesting

that is an interesting thought experiment what are you advocating for exactly though um but yeah it's so yeah they're you know they're even going on to go after like people in higher office and law enforcement in idaho um all right i mean i don't know don't don't they know like those are their friends too but i guess you know what happens things things change yeah that's weird the you also didn't hear much from them about the cops when they were testifying like the blue back the blue people weren't really into the cops when they were testifying about the january 6th committee yeah huh it was it was weird um all right let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

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. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.

One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?

You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and mick as in Jagger, got COVID. Stones have had to cancel some shows. I feel like, haven't they done like, this is our last tour! Hurry! Yeah, every couple years it feels like.

So just, you know, relax, man. Yeah, man. You did your shit. He's got like a newborn at home. Who? I feel like. Mick Jagger. Oh, no, no. Not a newborn, but like, let me see.

Young baby. Mick Jagger, young baby. 2016. So six year old. Six year old. All right. For some, because what? He was, he's damn near, isn't he almost 80?

Yes, he is damn near almost 80. He's 77. That's wild to think, right? You know, we always think about how like our lives are getting longer mostly because like as as time and technology moves on people aren't doing the same like physically destroying labor day in day out that people like 100 and like 50 years ago would do and just to think that like even for people like the rolling stones if you just take out that element of like hard labor they're still living to this age, obviously getting like pretty good medical treatment,

but they're like, I don't know, man, heroin and not doing physical labor. And I'm still here. Y'all check me out. Just shows the, yeah,

they're still, still out here. Still doing it. So all that to say is some of them. Yeah. Heroin will extend your life based on my research. Yeah. If you do it only when you're young and then

are incredibly wealthy for the rest of your life and insane all the benefits that come along with that in the western world. So do that. Do that. Get rich. Oh. It's crashing again. And further

down it goes. I've been holding on to like 20 bucks in Ether just to watch it go to zero. Just like a ball drop. Yeah, just to kind of be like, damn. Like imagine holding a significant amount and being like, no, no, it's going to go back up. And you keep telling yourself, well, if it goes below this, I've got to get out.

And it keeps fucking going down. It's pretty chaotic at the moment. It started at 20, and now it's like 3? Or what are we talking? This was last week. Yeah, it's like worth a buck or something. I just want to see it.

I want to see it go to zero. You know, but just completion. Part of me, though, feels like there's so many. Man, I know like a couple people I know. I'm like, get out of that shit. And they show me a screen cap of some of their shit this weekend. I was like, please please stop this isn't yeah they're like the prosperity gospel shit got a lot of people you know like this is the way and it's

kind of yeah it's it's like right now jake paul he tweeted some shit about how like this is what's wrong with the joe biden presidency is like number one presidency. There was a bulleted list. Number three was crypto crashing. It's not regulated, fool. What the fuck are you talking about? That was your whole thing. Yeah, but it's not like that. Those aren't the people who are ultimately going to be fucked.

It's the people in between. They're retail investors and people who are their real bag holders. And that's like, woof. So down it goes um you know ben mckenzie from the oc he's like you know he's taking his victory laps like he does because he's been a huge vocal crypto skeptic yeah he chose like when uh the pandemic started he was like well there's no acting stuff anymore for me for a while so i think he like got a advanced degree in economics as the crypto thing was bubbling and then he was like this doesn't this doesn't make sense oh yeah his twitter is just him dunking on crypto people

yeah but it's kind of a good unique kind of combination of beginner's brain to the whole thing. I'm just coming in kind of from an outside perspective. Hey, is this fucking bad? Hey, what are you, a fucking hater? All right, wait, hold on, no. But yeah, at this point, there's a huge movement, too, of computer scientists and engineers who are you know going like actually talking about the like how technologically backwards it even is like is for the times that they try and use techno speak to kind of like you know like steamroll people and in like a debate about it

these like actual computer engineers like this is so in a fit what the fuck are we talking about um so look out i'm sure we will have a guest uh in the coming weeks to properly dive into this because it is a it's a really interesting uh real interesting grift happening right before our eyes and like i said when the crypto.com arena when it went from staples to crypto.com arena i told you in that trending episode i said we'll see how long this lasts and at this point i feel like we can i feel like i'm just curious how long but we should take bets now what do you think the over under is of the crypto.com arena keeping the naming rights uh two and a half seasons total so one and a half more seasons okay so you say by the middle of two seasons from now it's not a yeah yeah i would say i would say by next i mean they paid for it though right like they paid

well it's a it's a deal right or they give a certain amount every year they're not giving all that money up front so the second they're like hey man i don't know if i can make that payment then they're gonna be like all right pop that shit off the side i told you motherfuckers this wasn't there any way to like return the naming rights yeah get a refund on that like i could photoshop a bunch of old pictures to say staples again i may get like a million back yeah i guess we we could probably tease who we're gonna have on we're gonna have the dad from the oc on um we couldn't get the dude who's an actual crypto expert no i think we can get ben mckenzie on watch sandy cohen we got him folks just gonna get his charming old man tape and rachel bilson from my high school so buckle up and finally uh shack's name is

trending because on a recent appearance on the All the Smoke podcast, Kenny Smith was talking about the early days of Shaq joining the cast in 2011, which that was the final piece in the ensemble. It was, you know, that has become like, I think a lot of people refer to it as like the best show on TV. They really are just like probably the best unscripted show on TV. I don't know if that it's the greatest podcast of all time is what it is. But apparently when Shaq came in, Shaq used to come in and be Shaq said, Smith Shaq is a movie.

He's got 10 people coming in. He created a hookah lounge in the studio and they let him do this he was like i have to have my hookah so he has a hookah lounge outside and they put a tv outside the studio we got a green room like yo me and chuck in the green room we've been doing this for 15 years together this dude's coming in you're gonna build a hookah lounge for him? What the fuck was going on? So now he's not watching the games. He's DJing literally DJ equipment. Kid you not.

He's practicing his DJing while the game is going on. They let him get away with all of that because he's Shaq. So now he comes on the show and he says something like, DeAndre Jordan needs to, but DeAndre Jordan needs to. But DeAndre Jordan wasn't playing that night.

So me and Charles, because we sit next to each other, I'm hitting him and he's hitting me. We're going to get his ass today. We're just lighting into him. And now we're saying stuff about the game because we know he didn't watch. So our producer comes downstairs and he's like what the fuck is going on y'all giving him a hard time you're embarrassing him on national tv and he was able to like kind of push back and be like hey we make fun of each other all the time when we don't know our shit yeah and the producer's like yeah you're right go get them them. The legends of inside the NBA.

I mean, I just love that he Shaq is just that he is so, he really is Shaq. He just does what he wants to do. He's like, yeah, I'll do that. But I can't. Don't. Look, I've seen so much basketball. I'll just look at the box score and tell you what's going on. I need to work on these transitions

for my dubstep set. Alright, Shaq. DJ I love it. Because there have been moments where we've talked on our I think maybe trending maybe it was

our NBA podcast about where it seemed like he wasn't watching the game. Yeah yeah yeah. And it also seemed like Barkley wasn't watching the game yeah yeah yeah and it also seemed like barkley wasn't watching the game and then after a couple minutes barkley was like yeah we actually weren't watching the game we were watching zielinski was giving a speech and it was pretty compelling he was on 60 minutes i feel like that was at times like you guys should check that out even like yeah like when candace parker would be on there were times where I felt like she was like, did they watch the game? Yeah, she would get frustrated.

What kind of analysis is that? And that's what's funny is like it's not the best, but it's the most entertaining and it feels like you are in a living room with this motley crew. That's whose opinion I care the most about after a game. I'm like, what

are they going to say? Yeah, if you want functional knowledge, Candice Parker is the the choice but entertainment with basketball words is them hands down yeah and the thing that i feel like is unique about them is you feel like you're getting their genuine opinion right they're not saying something because they want to like they're friends with somebody or whatever you feel like you're getting their opinions chuck said he would fuck some some person's mother from the stage a couple weeks ago these people are the last thing they know is a script or to be to say anything but what they think right yeah like sometimes it's like jack seems to be motivated by not being able to like

fully appreciate like a big man or, you know, think about the game today being different from how it was at his time. But you're like, yeah, but that's, you get the sense that he is using his actual opinion. It's not a writer's room that's coming up with this.

It's not somebody like trying to come up with the best take like you sometimes get on. You want to know what shaquille o'neal is thinking it's that exactly exactly all right well shout out to all the smoke and for kenny smith for going on there and telling his truth yeah finals continue tonight yeah yeah yeah alright well those are some of the stories that are trending yes on this Monday June 13th

don't do nothing about white supremacy and we will talk to y'all tomorrow bye bye hey I'm Gianna Prenenti y'all tomorrow. Bye. work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in people who do, like negotiation expert Maury Tahiripour.
