Yeah. So, yeah.

Everybody. Iconic. Yeah. Four quadrant banger. We got a four quadrant banger in the house with Gangster's Paradise. And then, of course, Amish Paradise, which I think they were sampling for that song. Is that right? He was remaking Amish Paradise.

Which came first. Yeah. Who knows? Anyways, Miles, that's a joke i stole from my friend chris we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very funny comedian writer actor and podcast host who you can see hosting the monthly comedy show performance anxiety you can hear him on pod as a woman a track by track breakdown of sweetener by Ariana Grande with TDZ favorite Teresa Lee. Welcome back to the show, the hilarious and talented Eli Olsberg! Eli!

Woo! Oh, fellas, so good to be back with the boys talking about the daily news. It's been too long. Back with the boys. The b-b-b-boys are back in town. Absolutely. The fellas are back. Yes. Absolutely. The fellas are back. Yes.

On podcast paradise. What's up? What's up, Eli? What's new? You're right, by the way. That is a bridge. That was like, not only was it a bridge

to like mainstream, in terms of like mainstreaming, it was like the bridge for the end of the early 90s because that literally the song came out in 95. Right. And then rap completely

changed after that. Yeah. And I don't think that's a coincidence. And also that video was directed. 90s because that literally the song came out in 95 right right and then rap completely changed after that and i don't think that's a coincidence and also that video was directed that video was directed by anton fakua who went on to do training day and lots of i mean that was like really yeah yeah and then f gary gray who directed friday and like you know fates of the furious and shit he directed the fantastic voyage video that. Yeah, it's crazy. Because back then you could direct videos for like five years and live off it for another five.

Right. And like that was, that's why people are always like, oh, why didn't they cross over to movies? Well, they want to, but also you don't have to at that. Now you have to do, you have to make a movie,

a music video and still pick up a shift at your day job. It's the landscape is completely gotta turn out that content baby that's that's right and sweet sweet tent yeah who's like the last great like the director who went from music videos to to film recently i mean it was the big crossover event for michelle pfeiffer fans i think dude when she pulled up that chair yeah in the video yeah i was like holy shit it was hilarious that shit he didn't hilarious but also very poignant i was like that's a moment right there julio didn't he didn't like that idea apparently his original vision for that

video was like just being shot on like a city street i think with like cars and people like almost like a block party and when the director pitched it to him, he was like, you know what? I trust you do do what you want to do. And he was very happy with it in retrospect. But at the time he was like very like iffy about it. Hmm.

Interesting. It's like that was like the defining video of 95. And seriously, you know, I mean, I went to see that movie in theaters as a teenager based solely off the strength of that song and was disappointed just like everybody. That's the other thing about that period in the 90s. You could if there were soundtracks that way out of the movies. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, the bodyguard was probably one of the exceptions where both like really did huge numbers. But like at the time, I remember the spawn soundtrack was like a huge deal because it was this collaboration between techno artists and the big rock stars of that era. And the movie, no one gave it. Who still talks about it? You know what I mean? Like nobody. And the movie, no one gave it. Who, who still talks about it? You know what I mean? Like nobody, unfortunately it was another one. Oh,

I don't know if you guys remember, this is a deep cut Angus. Do you remember that movie? Yeah. No. Yeah. A lot of people don't, when I bring it up,

incredible soundtrack had like every, yeah, that, that had the goo goo dolls before they switched from being like a punk band to a pop band. And like Weezer has a deep cut on there that never i don't think showed up uh i think it was specifically for the album that i could be wrong about i'm not as big of a weezer fan as everybody else but speaking of goo goo dolls

city of angels soundtrack really punched above its weight oh yeah oh yeah that's another one it's a huge soundtrack i think that even went like platinum movie food soul food also a soundtrack that huge soundtrack yeah they were like waiting to exhale another big soundtrack yeah and obviously baz luhrmann's romeo and juliet you know you had to have oh yeah gotta have that one had to have two soundtracks that had a sequel yeah that's right they bought out like a second one they're like here are more songs from it the only other time i think that happened after that was the fast and the furious i think two soundtracks came out there was one with like with like you know ja rule and like everything that irv gadi produced that was like the original soundtrack and then they were like oh for those of you who don't like rap here are the rock songs

that we included here are the white songs from fast because they were like they were like oh my god this movie crossed over too much. Right, right, right. That's like, Boogie Nights had two soundtracks too. That's right. That's another one. Yeah. What a time, huh, guys?

Dense soundtrack. The Above the Rim soundtrack also. That was the only movie I saw on the strength of the entire soundtrack. Sunset Park soundtrack too. Dangerous Minds was the only one that like sold me just off a single song i was like well i'm not doing like i am going to see this movie if it's the last thing i do because that song fucking goes all right eli we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we are going to tell the listeners a few of the

things we're talking about we're talking about the the hurricane hustle boss at what's the postcard mania? Postcard mania, dude. Silliest seeming business. But postcards just flying everywhere. Just one of those, you know, money grab booths with postcards just flying in all directions is how I picture that place. But it's actually very insidious capitalist institution. But it's actually a very insidious capitalist institution. So we'll talk about that and how it ties into Tucker Carlson and his attempt to blow the lid off big hurricane, I guess. They think there's a hurricane industrial complex that we're all in on. All of that, plenty more. But first, Eli, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history uh this last thing you know what i actually went with it with what was the very last thing i searched and i searched how much tofu can you eat

in a week and that's i wish challenge more than a search but like out of concern yeah it's like were you challenging google you were asking google hey how much tofu can you eat in a week i um i've started watching this always happens about once a year i'll come across some documentary on like netflix or one of them where of course it like it's like eat more plant-based but it's always like a weird thing because i feel like they're always on to something but then they choose not to back it up with anything they just get like the biggest celebrity they can get to be like yeah i started doing this because they can obviously afford to just tell a doctor what they need.

And then they shove the macros in their mouth with a shovel. You know what I mean? Like it's so easy. And so I'm trying to eat a little healthier. If anyone listening follows my social media, you know, I post a lot about raising canes and a big, big fried chicken guy, among many other things. So I try to split the difference with that.

And I was like, I always feel like when you talk to people about tofu, they're like, well, that's too much soy. And every time I brought it up in conversation, like, yeah, it's too much soy. You can't you can't eat that much of it. It's not good for you. And I'm like, that doesn't sound right. So I was curious. And it turns out you can eat tofu just pretty much almost every day, according to enough Google. According to Asians everywhere.

Yeah. That's why I was like, is it something wrong with, is it like Monsanto tofu that I have to avoid? Right, right, right. Are they all? So I was like, which tofu? And so that was the last thing I looked up because that was one of those questions that's just been gnawing at me for years. Because it always comes up in conversation that way. People are like, oh, you can't have that much soy.

And it turns out it's the soybean, which is what tofu is. And that's perfectly fine as opposed to like, I guess, processed soy or just when it's when it hasn't been cared for the way that tofu has. I feel like I'm way behind everyone else. You guys are like, yeah, of course, everyone. That's not. I don't know. I mean, I remember when people said that I just use my own anecdotal evidence. So I'm like, well, I've been, I mean, I feel like my family's been eating tofu in some form nearly every day, like when I'm in Japan, because it's like in miso soup, you'll have it like, you know, cold, like hiayako or like fried agedashi tofu. There's like so many ways to eat it in a given day that i'm like there's

no way it can be bad right right and like and also i feel like it would really pushed it uh the the the mid-2000s that like maxim fhm period where they were like everyone was like well you know soy is gonna give you more estrogen and oh yeah the soy boy bullshit yeah right right yeah and that and oh man the way that's manifested now obviously between that and like guys against like seed oils or whatever it's like incredible stuff right but i feel like that's where that came from because there's guys like on on social media that are big for being like well i eat there's like one guy who like lives i think in in costa Costa Rica or something where he got really popular for being like, oh, I just eat desecrated remains from animal remains. And this like it's he just literally just eats meat and dairy.

It's like the opposite of what every health official has been saying not to do for the last five years. Yeah, I feel like that, guys. The whole soy thing and, you know, soy now being like now being an adjective for weak and unmanly or whatever. That's just how it's used now. And I feel like I blame, as with most things, including hurricanes, I blame the dairy industry. I think they have a really strong lobby that is working at a number of different levels. It's not just the got milk. All it took was one fucking dairy guy to eat a tofu de cutie.

And he's like, boys were fucked. Kids will fucking not know. They're not discerning enough to know that this shit ain't milk. Right. We got problems. Tell him it'll make them women or something. Yeah.

Rely on misogyny to help solve problems. What's something you think is overrated? Oh, man. I think when people are like, let people enjoy things. It ties to something, I guess, that I've been seeing online a lot lately. You know that whole shit show with Warner Brothers with Discovery and obviously deleting Batgirl. I'm sure you guys talked about it on here. Yeah, all that stuff. And also inflated subscriber numbers.

That's my new favorite. Right, yeah, yeah. Which is a big shock. Anything that's streaming is clearly not... There's no regulation on how they have to report anything. And I don't know why anyone was surprised at that. But that's been happening. And then there's people being like...

Somehow that's been co-opt there's people being like oh you know it's somehow that's been co-opted into like an mcu dc argument you know like because dc's warner brothers and mcu's disney and i'm like you know neither of you have to nobody has to log on and defend the walt disney corporation or time warner discovery they don't have to be defended at all they don't require it. And it's turned into this weird argument where people, again, keep going back to this thing about let people enjoy things. And, you know, I'm here to say I'm not going to let everybody enjoy everything. I'm going to have to step in. And it's a wake up call.

You got to break it up a little bit. Which is funny because I'm like sitting here just two seconds ago. I was like, as a huge Raising Cane's fan. Yeah. because I'm like sitting here just two seconds ago. I was like, as a huge Raising Cane's fan. Right. Yeah. You're like, look, I got my Caniac tattoo. That's right. People who say let people enjoy things rarely let other people enjoy the things

that they don't enjoy. They're rarely the people who are like, no, you do you. Even though I don't like that particular movie. Right. And like, it also creates a weird fan base from like and i'm going to tread real lightly here because i feel like i feel like somebody's going to hear this and call their hives but i i feel like that happens with stuff with movies that

are good or even shows that are good but get like this really rabid fan base and they're these shows that are like about kindness they weirdly produce the the most. Ted Lasso. Yeah. That's exactly what I was going towards. But you know what? You did it. You took off. You opened the gates. I'm running out with it.

Yeah. That and like. We're Lasso heads here. We're Ted heads. So yeah, we are going to ask you to leave the podcast at this point. Well, thank you guys so much for having me. That's at Eli Oldsberg on all the socials. That is so strange. Sorry Zach gang about that ruffian who just interrupted the show.

What an asshole. It's so funny that Ted Lasso people are, I mean, it makes sense because it's like a football coach, football coach logic can fix anything. So it makes sense that they would actually end up being somewhat toxic. Well, Ted Lasso, the people who like embrace that shit to that level are people who are like, you know what, I'm not going to go to therapy. I think I can watch Ted Lasso and feel something good from that.

Oh, that's a good way of putting it. And then be like, don't fuck with my Ted Lasso. Yeah, like you're going to log on and tell me Ted Lasso is an okay show. Like someone doesn't even say it's bad, but like you're going to tell me it's an okay show. Well, I just called the police on your address they are on their way i just swatted you yeah ted lasso is my therapist but all right what's something you think is underrated

raising no i'm just kidding uh something i think is underrated okay so i think bottled tea in general like i'm a big iced tea guy i think bottled tea in general, like I'm a big iced tea guy. I think bottled tea for the most part, they don't nail it. They just don't get it. It usually tastes really, really processed. I found an incredible bottled tea called Tejava, and it weirdly is such a... Oh, so you do know, because here's the thing. I feel like when I would show it to people, nobody knew what it was, or they would say

like, oh, I see it at Trader Joe's or Ralph's or something all the time but i i never try it and someone finally fucking nailed it i think it's like very very good just good black tea and weirdly i think because they didn't have like a huge demand they hit like a three month halt during the pandemic like they they ran out they couldn't make they couldn't keep up with the demand for like amonth halt during the pandemic. Like they ran out. They couldn't make, they couldn't keep up with the demand for like a few months during the pandemic. And they just finally came back. I almost don't want to tell people

because I don't want to run out again. Super underrated brand. Highly recommend it. As somebody who just said, you know, don't support corporate IP. Again, can't stress enough. When I stand one, that's an endorsement. said uh you know don't support corporate ip again can't stress enough when i stand what when i stand one i that's an endorsement the bottle looks like it hasn't been through the corporate redesign i

don't know if that is dude that label has been the same for fucking decades yeah yeah it's crazy the 1970s and uh i can't speak to their flavored teas like i don't get any of the ones with lemon or berry i i like the same way people can drink like a strong black coffee i'm that way about strong black tea because it has like the same caffeine right but it's it they nailed it right out the park that's a that's not even in a not even a home run that's literally like out out of the streets yeah out of the park and onto a car in oncoming traffic like that far out a lot of people were hurt actually caused a pile up on the five all right well i you know lasso fans as much as you know you can

you can reach out to me and we can you know talk shit about eli but don't reach out to me and we can talk shit about Eli. But don't reach out to Eli about Ted Lasso. But if you are to Java Hive, let him know. Yeah, please. Let's do that. Build with positivity. Come on, guys. Or to Java, just reach out directly and please send me all the boxes. Yeah.

There's something. My favorite salsa, medium Green Mountain, medium salsa. They just have like a label redesign that, you know, how like food, food stuff, food stuffs will do like a label redesign that looks slicker. But I feel like it whatever marketing kind of meeting is happening where they're talking about the logo redesign there there is a parallel meeting where they're like and how do we get less of the chunks of ripe tomatoes in there to like cut costs so i'm always wary like they happen with tropicana where they like redesigned their thing. They had a good thing going on. Oh, and then Super Minimal? Yeah, they just went Super Minimal and like, I don't know.

Yeah. Like I'm all for design. I have a lot of design people I like. Just don't fuck with the inside part of it. Yeah. You nailed it when you were like, oh, this doesn't look like it had like a corporate redesign. Because I think a lot of these, what's happening now since so many businesses like folded, they're like so many things are getting acquired. happening now since so many businesses like folded they're like so many things are getting acquired and so i feel like specifically for the last like two years probably going into like the next two

years so many things are going to look more redesigned and the more like antiseptic the design looks right worse it's going to be that's how you know like if the logo really because because minimalism is like a thing now but not in the way that it's intended to be like artistically satisfying you know it's just like well this is what every this is the new look now what if wes anderson designed our label what would that look like just helvetica white just one pink on the white label with just an orange in the center right and i think it would be so super pastel heavy and it would have like a like a almost like a design where while you're turning it it's like it looks

like you could just keep turning it and it would keep going like an oriboros type thing wow wow cartoon mice or yeah yeah yeah you're like oh my god my God, it never stops. There's no conclusion to this story. It just keeps going. Wow. This is dish soap. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk news.

And we're back. And... I'm already laughing, dude.

The hurricane hustle. Get on that grind. So last week, Jack, when you were out... I missed this, man. I don't know if you listened to the episode, but we were talking about the CEO of this company called postcard mania. They're based in Clearwater, Florida. They're like a postcard marketing company.

Yeah. And when, when hurricane Ian was about to touch land, like all these people are getting evacuation orders. They're like, please, you got to leave. Like, or if you're going to shelter in place, like be really like, please look out for yourself. This could be, this is going to be very dangerous. like please look out for yourself this could be this is going to be very dangerous this ceo of the company like over a zoom call and like multiple text messages was basically telling like her employees like hey a little fucking hurricane that the media always likes to freak us out about that's probably just going to be nothing isn't going to stop us from ending the

quarter strong so let's all come in yeah yeah stop freaking postcard mania and she said oh you're worried about your kids and stuff you can bring them to work bring them to work because our building can withstand category five wins so you really have no excuse motherfucker what are you trying to say now we will have games and fun things for the kids with like a little balloon emoji and you're like okay do, okay. Do you know what? I do want to say one thing. It's pretty close to indefensible. However, I'm from South Florida. The problem is when you get the, Florida's always in this weird, I mean, Florida's weird, but Florida is always in this weird place where hurricanes rarely will blanket the whole state. I think it's only happened since I've been alive. I think it's only happened since I've been alive.

I think it literally happened once while I was there in like 2004. Usually what it does is it hits one region because it's either going to the Gulf or it's going to the Carolinas. And so you get all these false alarms about three days in. It's great because you usually get a few days off school in September and you just usually get some bands and some rain. So what happens is everybody starts turning after a few years, you just get so worn down from that.

You turn into this, like, it ain't going to hit, it's going to get real close and then it's going to, however, unfortunately, because this woman's like, well, the media is pushing an agenda here that unfortunately takes all that out the door. Right, right, right but i like that thank you for the context of like the culture there's like yeah i know we got to do it and then if watch it'll probably end up dissipating once it hits land and then we'll be right but i've seen those like pictures from the 80s where people were like i wrote out andrew like writing it on their like wall and yeah paint and stuff like it's a corporate piece of pride right yeah we did well we did uh we were there for andrew and let me tell you it sucked it was not something that like to be like oh i rode that out i whenever you ride something like that out the hurricane itself

is not the problem that's actually not that scary because typically with with andrew in particular i think it was like overnight. It just hit really hard, really fast. But the thing that sucks is the two weeks after where you have no fucking power, right? Right. Gas stations are like,

the lines are literally a mile long to get gas that nobody should ever be proud of surviving that because it's always a governmental failure. But for some reason, obviously because things are like individualized, it turns into that. And so that's exactly what happened here where it's going to be like, well, yeah, we can withstand it. Sure you can. But what about what happens when you guys have to leave the building? Right. Right. Exactly. Yeah. And it's also not like the hurricane itself can be bad if you're caught in a storm surge or something like that. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And I remember the house we lived in, the thickest tree possible got uprooted.

Like, yeah, nothing's almost nothing survived our backyard, which had like six trees. Like, I think we were down to two when that was over three. But like, yeah, like that can fall, you know, the tree can go one way or the other and, you know, land on a person. Well, again, it sounds like your home was unsafe, Eli, unlike the 69,000 square foot campus we have in Postcard Mania, which you could come into and we will have fun and games for the kids. And once, like, she folded pretty quickly once, like,

media outlets started asking her for, like, you know, like, is this you, like, on this Zoom call? Like, are these texts for real because we have them for multiple people she's like she's like we obviously care about our employees safety we just didn't message it correctly and we clearly didn't want our employees to think that they had to come in when i said a hurricane is no excuse our office is built to withstand cat five winds yeah that's using a hurricane opportunistically to create corporate town a corporate town is not what i intended to do right exactly yeah and this and where was where she located clear water oh okay totally that tracks okay anything naples and north

it's always the west coast of florida where do you get this shit it's always a lot of like the grifty like right wing like organizations are all kind of based they're all clustered kind of in that area too yeah and they have like they've tried towns there's a town there i think the the ceo of domino was an investor in a town called ava maria where they don't sell birth control it's like a very catholic town the church of scientology is also i believe in clear water wow yeah yeah exactly because that's why i see uh tom cruise's son always hitting like wild ass boat parties

DJing and shit down in Clearwater. Oh my God. This is the first I've heard of that. That's amazing. Yeah, Connor Cruise. Shout out DJ Connor Cruise, his adopted son.

He's killing it. DJ's here. Yeah. Love his work. But the wild shit is right. So once this thing happened with Postcard Media, a lot of people were like,

let's wonder what the corporate culture is really like over there. And I guess someone told Vice, they're like, this isn't you should have heard her in April of 2020 when the pandemic just fucking started on April 11th, 2020, not even a month into the pandemic. She went on a fucking tirade on like a live stream to her employees. We're first. She starts off by downplaying covid like like that's her first spot i'll play this because you have to also see like her energy because it's one thing to hear these quotes but like to witness it all and put it all together you're like oh this is someone who's fully just like you know revenue brained so this is the first part where she's like, y'all, y'all are tripping. It's not that bad.

The media being fear mongers and making people way more afraid than they need to be. And what's happening is the politicians, because this is an election year, are caving in one by one to the media and making everybody feel like they're gonna freaking die from this thing and it's not freaking true and it's really fucked up that they're scaring everyone and finally desantis caved so i want to tell you something else that happened really interesting okay so this is this is before a million people died from yeah this is april 11th of 2020 the media so this is her thing you know she's clearly watched getting her news from a very specific side of the aisle and it's like this is what they do even desantis caved like you know her energy which is like my fucking hero even fell to this shit and like the that is just the beginning half

right and she goes i want to tell you about another thing that happened. What happens there is this. Apparently, two of her employees called the cops because they felt the CEO wasn't putting in place proper safety precautions in the office. When we're a month into this pandemic and people are beginning to obviously like over a million people have perished. to obviously like over a million people have perished and she starts addressing the fucking snitches basically that work for her in an even more like aggressive way so she's like so i want to tell you about another fucking fun thing that happened and begins to basically say well just i'll let her take it away else it happened really interesting i come out of my growth summit and i walk into melissa's office and she informs me that two of our staff called the police on us. I come out of my growth circuit.

Yeah. What the growth? That's like the most fucking business nonsense shit. Yeah. What a growth summit. Okay. I come out of my growth summit. That walk into Melissa's office.

That sounds like she literally had left the Church of scientology to go even though she's a desantis pusher which is obviously usually more christian that's totally the growth summit's like a thing where you're like well we just finished having at the l ron hubbard center right right we had our growth summit but she also i love that she keeps going freaking freaking and you can see in the back as soon as the kid or whoever that is walks out she suddenly goes fucking she completely changes her like cursing literally times it to like somebody walking out of the room that's theater baby you can't do that she has interesting eyes though that like go dead when she like starts telling a lie in an interesting way where i don't

know if it's because she's like drawing on something she saw tucker carlson say and like i think it's because she's just regurgitating something she heard yeah not much right oh for sure it's like i'm just saying a talking point out loud and then she'll get animated when she realizes the injustice of the world the overlap between uh scientology and like corporate shit like this is real because that's everything is kind of coming together like the sort of spiritual emptiness of our culture like all we don't have a different humane like kind of cultural thing to put in the empty hole inside and so everybody's just rushing in with growth summits and multi-level marketing right schemes are stealing from the world of like cults and you know pulling that into corporations so it's funny that there there

is that kind of direct line that you can see in this video i think part of it too is that like what you said they just regurgitate what they heard so whenever you it doesn't happen as often as i wish it did but you'll see like if you ever watch when it when i like a conservative talking head meets someone who kind of like when they're in the middle of their script and someone interrupts that they literally melt down in real time like you can watch them lose their their complete where they're going with it and then they just start repeating the same thing over and over so whenever they're asked to like cite an example or show something they completely shut down shop it's like it doesn't it doesn't work it's very similar to like musk fans when elon musk fans

like when they when they're big like tesla heads right and they're like oh yeah the car you know that thing with this did you guys talk about the cyber truck yesterday or the day before on trends we talked about how the how he was saying like it's gonna float now and we're like yeah right right so you can like with that you can get these these people who are like long-time tesla owners love elon musk and you know they'll say like oh yeah it's gonna it's gonna float and then you know of course they're, you know, of course, they're going to try it once and it's going to sink in like two seconds. They'd be like, right. Well, yeah. I mean, if you need to really get across somewhere, get a fucking boat.

It's like they immediately find a way. It's not intended to go to the ocean. It's just like if you need to cross the intercoastal goes over, you know, puddle. Yeah, right. This is the same product, by the way, that he debuted by saying it had unbreakable windows and then promptly brings it out. Which is wild, too, because imagine your 7,000 pound metal coffin that

you're trying to navigate waters with sinks to the bottom and you can't even break the windows open because they figured it out finally for that part. What a claim to make while people are being washed away in hurricane storm surges to be like, oh, no. Yeah, hurricane storm surges to be yeah i mean they can float very musky but let's allow the ceo here to go on miss ganduza herself she is going to

just say they called the cops on us you won't believe it let's talk a little bit about karma okay big eyes did that fucking inhale was absurd we are people of goodwill and i am keeping everybody here employed if you don't want to work here go home okay you're not fired you can go home the sheriff came and toured and basically said you guys are good. Carry on. So whoever the fuck you are. She just did the, I got my eyes on you. I'm sorry.

I just cracked myself up. If you don't like the way I run this company, get the fuck out. Wow. Sorry. I'm just real. What can I tell you? That's just how I feel about it.

I love you guys. I really, really do. Such amazing staff. Except for those two people. I hate you. No, I don't really hate anybody. You're just not part of this group. You're not really a true group member. And you don't belong here. You don't belong here amongst the rest of us.

Dude, in-group, out-group, this is total cult shit. You know now? It's like you're not in the in-group. Like literally, you're not in the in-group. You're in the out-group. you should probably just quit your job you should probably quit i mean shit you can get all kinds of government stuff for free so why don't you go do that i'm completely happy and comfortable and content with my ethics on this i bet you and uh again the two of you get out anybody anybody, anybody who's like, go get free stuff for the government immediately should have to disclose if they applied for a PPP loan immediately.

Oh yeah. That needs to be legislated. Like it is insane. Cause I know for a fact, I'm like, well, that's a small business owner. You better believe she got in on those PPP loans. Right. You know what? Why don't we just look right now? Yeah, yeah. was come on and basically call hurricane ian and hurricanes in general a scam that people were on to which is literally just that simpsons meme of old man yells at cloud like it's just the the weather is disagreeing with his politics and making his belief that climate change is overrated look bad. And so he's just saying the big hurricane's trying to trick you with these storm surges. But this is kind of a longstanding trend on the right with, I mean, it's a longstanding trend just generally where conspiracy theorists believe that the government is controlling the weather and then there are of course like what even older ones that claim the rothschilds are controlling the weather of course

but it's i don't they they claim that it's being like hyped up by the media trump i i think like bought into the whole idea so whole hog that he repeatedly kept asking officials if China had a hurricane gun to send hurricanes to the U.S. Like, that is it. This is a direct quote from somebody who worked in his administration. I was present once when he asked if China made hurricanes to send to us and wanted to know if the technology existed. One guy in the room responded, not to the best of my knowledge, sir. I kept it together until I got back to my office. I don't know where the then president would have heard about that,

which he makes it sound like, well, I don't know how he found out about that, but I'm pretty sure he was asking about it around the time, maybe a little before he asked about people using, about nuking hurricanes. So that's, and then Rush Limbaugh, of course, went through this whole, basically the same thing, same exact thing we're talking about, where he's like, this hurricane everybody's complaining about and worried about is, you know, being overhyped. and he was doing that from florida and his theory was that the hurricane was cooked up by battery companies wait what yeah water so people buy water and battery companies yeah the classic emergency supplies what they're in they're in baby they are coming after you with

weather they are gonna i mean they've they're taking they've taken florida by with storms they're taking us with earthquakes who's next is anybody safe out there the idea i mean claiming that it's battery companies also like because you do need batteries when the power goes down So it really does suggest that the hurricane itself and the actual damage it causes is part of a conspiracy. So I can see where Trump got his idea. But this movement on the right is actually killing people because following that, following this blowing up

and being said by Rush Limbaugh, a poll found that for the first time, whether people evacuated before the storm was a political issue. 34% of Floridians who likely voted for President Trump in the 2015 election evacuated before Irma hit compared to 45% of Clinton voters. And that had, there had never been a gap like that before like in 2016 2017 i mean it makes sense to just downplay hurricanes too because it's the most like violent tangible example of just weather and anomaly anomalous weather which helps obviously you know gird the arguments of like man the world is like storms are going to get

fucking more frequent or worse. And obviously there's, you know, there's a lot of nuance to the effects of like climate change with hurricanes and things like that, that it's, you know, you're not always saying like, it's a direct line and kind of like scientists, like it's a, it's a multi-factor thing. But I think that's really one of those things that you can look out your window, no matter what your political ideology and be be like this is fucked up and scary right and if and it's probably and then you pick your poison right you can it's like it's the same thing if you don't have a job you can turn on the news and one group will say it's these fucking immigrants is the reason why you don't have a job and other people might say oh it's actually

because of uh corporate greed or whatever well no i don't think any most news outlets aren't saying anything like that but you know what i mean like just with a with something like a hurricane you can either say it's nothing it's nothing don't worry about it or you can say yeah this is something to take seriously because it's only going to get worse and it's something worth knowing about and if you're not ready to confront that reality fuck yeah you want you're gonna ride with the people that are like ah don't worry about it yeah yeah it's a weird thing you would think people who are like super especially people who are like trump supporters that are not as financially advantaged, who just bought into it, especially when they it's I mean, they already got to see it once with the Capitol riots where, you know, people who got arrested realize they're not getting pardoned or they're not they're not getting away with, you know, like certain people are getting in trouble for that.

with, you know, like certain people are getting in trouble for that. You would think that would put some kind of distance for them or at least give them a second to be like, well, maybe if I do something, I'm not going to be able to, I'm not protected. And so it kind of, you would think for something like, again, as objective as the weather would have them wake up with that or rather being like, well, no, this is a conspiracy. We're going to ride it out. I mean, truly, if you're a real, if you grew up in Florida and you've been there a long time, you know, hurricanes are no fucking joke. There are, you know, usually every couple of years, it's mostly false alarms. Like I said, like you kind of, but every couple of years,

a real one will come and humble you. And so they've definitely lived through them before. That's the thing. It's not like, it's not like it's, it's a group of people who just got to town. Right. But I think, but now we live in a world, right? Where logic looks like it's a group of people who just got to town. Right. But I think, but now we live in a world right where logic looks like you're a lib. Yeah. Oh, you're using logic. You fucking lib.

Watch this. I'm so tough that nature can't fuck with me. And that's the version of the world I'm living in now. Not the one where, you know, all the town officials, including the mayor, who's also Republican saying,

get the fuck out. Yeah. But yeah, i'm looking at this is like well i can't join the people who listen to the scientists because this is now like a like you're saying it's a it's become a political act and uh yeah i mean but it's also part of like this whole trend you see of like people in certain pockets of the country who before were climate change deniers like there are parts of north carolina where people who are living like on the coastal regions of north carolina were like yeah fucking climate change and now they're like this is fucking for real like this is this is serious shit farmers or another group too that have been like i yeah man fucking droughts are fucking for real like this is fucked up and i think yeah so this is i'm sure part of a very effective way to just say

you know you got to make this shit seem as not big of an issue as possible. Same with COVID. Same with any other large scale threat. Same with inequality. Same with like rampant CEO fucking piracy. Like all that shit. It's just like, it's fine. It's fine.

It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Yeah. Yeah. And like a guy lit himself on fire and they downplayed that. Remember, there was a guy on the Capitol. Yeah. It's like, yeah, yeah, exactly.

And it's like people literally like I feel like once a week now somebody goes like first reformed mode and like really does something like that. And then it gets downplayed or there's a group that's like, well, we're not going to be the silent minority anymore when they're not the minority. You know, that kind of thing happens. Right, happens right right it's terrible anything to feel like a victim limbaugh did by the way in that from the very same storm that he was claiming was a hoax he did evacuate and then when it when he came back on the air he changed his ways and became a climate change advocate nope no no actually he just no yeah like with the, you know, January 6th being great evidence for anybody who wanted to recognize like that there are consequences, that there can be consequences in the U.S. They just kind of adjust their capacity to believe wild shit rather than change what they think is true. Of course.

Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 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 boys. 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. 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. How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in France. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on.

Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And kind of staying on the same theme this is a themed episode yeah just people with an entire portion of the country with their head firmly up their own ass let's talk newt gingrich because he's they i feel like he got an assignment like somebody slid him an envelope with fetterman's picture on it and they were like take him down and he's like i don't know how i don't know what internet is but all right let's do this everyone loves your big giant head they know it's all filled with wisdom now go spew this forth we've been we talked about this for a while so newt gingrich is really on one right now i mean he's always on some bullshit but the last couple weeks is like really peak old white guy shit.

He hasn't stopped trying to get the story that John Fetterman is a crip to stick. Like he just can't give this up. He tweeted about it once he started talking about on TV. First, he was trying to be like, Oh, is he? First he learned what the song hurt by nine inch nails was. And then he pivoted to be like oh is he what first he learned what the the song hurt by nine inch nails was and then he pivoted to be like it's about it's about heroin so he's either a heroin addict or he's also in the crypts if you don't if you know there's a free beacon report and we talked about

this report last week where essentially he used this like uh different like colloquial like spelling of braddock the town he was in that the cryptps would use with two c's versus a c and a k and he was doing that like very intentionally to you know acknowledge that there were two different towns that he was like versions of the same town he was speaking to he said that like seven years ago and they brought it up again newt gingrich is back and he's still wanting to say the dumbest shit and the way he's saying it he's acting like he's dropping a fucking bomb even though this is the most tired fucking attack we've heard here he goes again saying that john federman is probably a crip i mean these people verge on being sick uh in the case of federman of course uh he apparently had a tattoo that was either a reference to a song in favor of heroin use or was a tribute to the Crips, which is a Los Angeles-based, very violent gang, which actually was in Fetterman's hometown and which worked with Fetterman in his election.

I mean, I think everybody knows that this, of course, means that Johnny Cash was a crip. Yeah, that was my jumping off point. Yeah. Well, if he sang the lyrics, I mean, that is the lyrical content that Newt Gingrich is equating with. How do you pivot from Hurt either means you're on heroin or you're a crip? Right. Either means you're on heroin or you're a crip. Right.

I don't understand. Is he saying the same, the hurt quote that he has tattooed? He said it's either. He's unequivocal here. I'll play it again. He had a tattoo that was either a reference to a song in favor of heroin use or was a tribute to the Crips, which is a luxury. Los Angeles, yeah. I don't understand.

So it's an either-or situation. We have only two options here of what that could mean. It's either that he's worshiping heroin or it's a tribute to the Crips. I mean, it's not like the thing was like, I blasted some bloods today to hold down my set. Like, what are you talking about? I think we need that.

Well, I would love to know when he was reading it. When he was reading it, he was like, he's like looking with like his little Homer Simpson half glasses. Which are normal size glasses, but on his head, they look like they tiny little glasses right right they're almost like they're almost like monocles connected together and he's just like this is about heroin and then he i want to know at what point does it pivot where he's like this could be about it's gonna be about actually what is going interesting and then his wife just you know like the demon comes into the room slithers in and it's like what uh what are you looking at there honey and they just start going they're like going back and forth just having a real lively discussion about heroin or gang warfare i mean it it's on

it might be effective because what's true is that dr oz has been closing the gap yeah tightening it up he went from, you're right. So he went from 10, like Fetterman was 10 points up on him. And now it's six. He's still, he's still ahead, but still like it's tightening. And I don't know if like,

they're like some consultant is like, keep hitting the Fetterman crypt thing, man. Keep it. Well, I just realized something. It literally just hit me like a ton of bricks during Gingrich's time. Like when he was really like,

if, if, if my math is right here, back when, like at the height of nine inch nails and at the height of like gangs having a reputation, you know, the,

the blue bandana and the red bandana, weren't those around the same time? Yeah. Yeah. I would spiral 94, like the 92 riots and stuff, but definitely. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. His brain is just like, okay, right. So he's just like okay fame right so he's just like what can i get from this era he's like we've got earthquakes in north ridge california it's just a mess right now you're like what it's terrible hurricane andrew two years ago you think we would have learned something exactly and i mean when is jurassic going to come out on VHS? Right. It's been over a year and a half now.

At least Biden's mind is frozen in amber to a time that is quaint. Like a fantasy world. It's like, what's that movie where there's no color and the color bleeds back in? Oh, Pleasantville. Pleasantville. That's where Biden lives most of the time. You mean like no people of color yeah yeah i remember that i was like i remember being that movie like yo what the fuck i'm like i gotta go

this is fucked up yeah that was the first movie i ever equated as being like you know they all started turning to color when they started fucking and i'm like oh being horny is not such a bad thing after all yeah that was my 13 year old. Eli learned his lesson. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. It's just, it really is interesting.

Like of just to watch someone who is so ignorant of gang culture or even like sub 70 year old culture that, and like, it's like, he's trying to make fetch happen. Like in mean girls, it's like full stop with this better men, crip nonsense.

Like it doesn't cliche of like every rich republican being like well there's it's one of those gangs it's just one of those gangs you gotta be careful for it's like the because you know democrats they hang out with black people and that means gangs like what gotta be careful talking there's the same thing when like he had these like people that were wrongly convicted like like working on his campaign. They're like, he's got murders. I'm like, wrongly fucking convicted, you asshat. What are you saying? Well, they're saying it's wrongly convicted.

We think they were rightfully convicted. Yeah, exactly. That's like their argument, usually. Even though the evidence suggests otherwise. But, you know, I'm curious. Maybe like Newt Gingrich is working on like a whole book about gang culture. And he's like, oh, wait till you see my newest thing. Or he'll use a logic.

He's like, John Fetterman, if he's in Philadelphia, he won't wear a Phillies hat. Why is that? Because the Piru Bloods wear that hat. And he is a crip. And he would be, he's not going to be set tripping. You're like, what the fuck, bro? Clearly someone else is writing for him yeah like somebody did a wikipedia search of like gang hats uh eli truly a pleasure having you back as always yeah likewise i can't i can say exactly the same

thing so happy to be back can't hope to come back again it's always a blast talking with you guys where can uh where can people find you follow you? All that good stuff at Eli Oldsberg on all the socials. I will be bringing back soon. My, my other podcast closure, the podcast that never ends closer to the new year.

And it's from what I'm hearing, and I don't know if that means Riders on the Storm, but what I'm hearing is like a Latin version of Riders on the Storm by The Doors. Like the keyboard is the same, the chord progression is the same.
