Listen to the Super Secret Bestie Club on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Clear and Trending Danger, courtesy of Nick Semper, Tyrannis. My name is Jack O'Brien.
Starting point is 00:02:20 That over there is Mr. Miles Gray. Oh, oh, please. Oh. please wait too much enthusiasm for me oh oh god the sound of mr belvedere sitting on his own balls is that an episode that is an anecdote very obscure this is an anecdote that doug benson told on his podcast back when there were like five podcasts about how he was when he was younger he went to a taping of mr belvedere and at one point mr belvedere sat down and went oh What happened and after the fact someone was like, yeah, he sat on his own balls.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Oh, my God. Miles. Should we tell it, this is the episode where we tell people it's trending. Should we tell the people it's trending? Uh, sure. Seems so. You could go either way, it sounds like, and that's fine. But I do think you're going to want to tell the people about this one.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Yeah. I could care less about the team struggling. And the team in question, yes, yes. Los Angeles Clippers. I always, they always draw me in heading into the playoffs last year. I was like, the Clippers might be actually going to do it and take it to the, they were playing as well as anybody in the Western Conference. Yep.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And they lost in the first round. And that take was so bad, the NBA stopped Mad Boosties. Yeah, they ended our show. Yeah, they're like, what the fuck was that, guys? The Clippers really? are a joke organization that we only put out there like the Washington General So the Los Angeles Clippers
Starting point is 00:03:56 So the good teams have somebody to embarrass Anyways, that's not fair To the Clippers fans No, no, it's not However, uh, Organizationalally fucked. Uh, big, big win for the podcast world as Pablo Torre on his podcast, uh,
Starting point is 00:04:13 Pablo Torre finds out. This is a really fun podcast. Uh, I've enjoyed his, his work on the Bill Belichick story where he just like, he just like really dug in. He was like the thing where his girlfriend stopped that CBS news interview was like, we're not talking about that from off camera was like very intriguing to him. And he just like dug in and was like, oh my God, the vibes behind the scenes in North Carolina are terrible. He like, you know, dug into that ring camera picture with Bill Belichick walking around shirtless like the morning after.
Starting point is 00:04:50 you know, having a have it a good time, it would appear. And he, like, found the house where that was taken, like, went there. But anyways, he's a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, and he dug into something that he found strange, which was that Kauai Leonard had entered into a $28 million agreement with a tree planting company, which is not what I know him for. Now is that like when I say Kauai Leonard, is that the thing like a, you know, tree planters, I'm thinking Johnny Appleseed.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Kauai Leonard, I'm thinking of great NBA basketball player. I'm thinking injured. Okay, Miles. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Can you just be nice for a second before we ruin this franchise? I mean, look, bro, Kauai was about his money. He's always, he fucked the lake. around too. Let's not forget. This was like a thing when he was like, yeah, maybe I'll go
Starting point is 00:05:51 and basically did what he had to do to get the clippers to be like, get me Paul George and trade away shake his Alexander to make it happen and get involved in a shady business dealing with a company started by two Harvard guys. One is a former Clinton speechwriter who's they're basically a broker for tree planting and carbon credits. And why would he do that miles sorry that is courtesy why would he do that yeah co why would he do something like that well i'll tell you so because steve balmer he's not used to you know doing business like in collaboration with he talks about like in this in the pablo tory podcast he plays this clip of steve balmer being like dude and my competition is like you never talk to him you do what you got to do to win behind the
Starting point is 00:06:38 scenes it's like and now like you you you got to talk to the other owners it's very different for me coming from microsoft he essentially avoided the salary cap by telling you Kawhi Leonard, you'll get $28 million on the side. It's just off the books completely. Yeah, yeah. So he was like, I'll pay you. Like, this is something that they used to do in like the NCAA to like pay players. They would like find some booster at your local like John Calapari coached school. Shout on Tarkhanian. That booster. Yeah, Tarkhani, you know, that guy'd be like, yeah, you're going to be my top salesperson at my car dealership. this year. In the summers. Yeah, in the summers. And then, like, you know, that person is pulling in
Starting point is 00:07:23 three mill, like, you know, as it quietly. So anyways, it's wild. It's also just a great, you know, sports, because it's under such scrutiny and because, like, the fans from each team are, like, paying attention. And, like, there's a ton of, like, an inordinate amount of reporting on it. You know, you can't get away with, like, there are all these rules built in. to make it so you can't go and do some shit like this. Whereas, like, I don't think people fully understand that people who are billionaires, this is how they get rich. They do crooked shit.
Starting point is 00:08:03 They're getting money under the table. They're paying somebody to find ways to funnel money to them that is tax-free. They're just breaking the law over and over again. And you get, like, a big enough billionaire who, like, thinks he's far enough above the law and he's going to try some shit like this, which I don't know. I mean, the reporting, we'll still see. He's claimed this is demonstrably false, but yeah, it's hard when, like, Pablo Tori got like all these financial documents from this company aspiration that essentially back up everything that's like, he's not going to come out and make
Starting point is 00:08:40 this claim as a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist if so many facts aren't right there that make it painfully obvious and the timing of everything. So it's also funny, too, like, the, like, Kauai Leonard set up, like, a company to receive the money from this company aspiration and just named it KL2 Aspire. And you're like, dude, can do something a little. Because the reason Pablo Toray also found out is, like, he was just looking at the creditors like on their bankruptcy statement. It was just connecting up these eyes.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Like, wait, what the fuck does Kauai Leonard have to do with any of this? Yeah. And suddenly you've found, it was kind of brilliant to. unearth a scandal like this with your like it felt like like a sports behind the bastards thing but was like was dropping a serious new head like just bombshell evidence against something where even his guests were like what the fuck am I even looking at what is this contract call I didn't have to do a fucking thing for this money it sounds like he just got 28 million just because it was something like at least he was doing a no show job on something that
Starting point is 00:09:44 nobody needs the planting of trees. Oh, wait, sorry, that's exactly, we, oh shit, Kauai. Come on, Kauai. He's about his coins. I've been rooting for Kauai, even though he took my team's heart out of our chest and fucking, shot it into a basket, and it bounced 10 times high off the, off the rim, and then went in. I root for him because I always want to see people take basketball to new heights,
Starting point is 00:10:12 and he has been one of the best player. Yeah. In a way, I'm like, I don't fall, Kauai. Like, what are you going to do? This is how shit moves. And it's really, again, it's the people like Steve Ballmer that make this shit happen. It's these billionaires. Balmer!
Starting point is 00:10:27 You know, he's like one of the top 10 richest people on the fucking planet. Yeah, you fuck around and you're doing shit like this. Now, we'll see what the league does, like whether that means he's suspended or they lose draft picks or something. Or maybe he finds a way to extend a grease payment to the league and this all goes away. Who knows? All right. In bad news, not just for the clippers, but for everyone, particularly people living in Florida, Florida has announced their intent to end vaccine mandates for children. The state surgeon general likened them to slavery and said every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery when speaking of, you know.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Does he think just saying like vaccines are slavery that people going to, oh, oh, okay, okay, okay. Well, Miles, people have a right to make their own decisions. Who am I, as a government or anyone else, to tell you what you should put in your body? I don't know. How about as a doctor? Yeah. You say what you should? By that fucking part, you idiot.
Starting point is 00:11:27 But this is a doctor who says things like the next part of this statement, our body is a gift from God. What you put in your body is because of your relationship with your body and your God. Oh, God. Drug addicts across the state of Florida are loving to hear that. Oh, it's about my, oh, okay. Well, I think I'm good. Yeah, dude. God wants me to get. I just need another fucking vein to emerge, God.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Fuck. Come out. This is so fucking grim. I mean, they barely just got a handle on that measles outbreak in Texas, like in the last month or so. And now you're just saying, yeah, man, let it rip on the just total regression of scientific knowledge and just go to, yeah, yeah, fuck it. Because we live in the era where just being anti-expertise is some kind of virtue.
Starting point is 00:12:12 And by that logic, because people have right to make their own decisions. So is that babies? Are the babies making the decision? Are we going to do like a choose the ball or choose the sword type shit? Slippery slope, whether the babies choose to be vaccinated. And if not, does this mean that parents are allowed to just poison their babies? Anyways, seems bad. I mean, this is what you get too.
Starting point is 00:12:34 And elevating people like RFK and normalizing like vaccine skepticism, it's just, this is like the natural progression of things. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Burning Man. This Burning Man was a real doozy Miles. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:12:49 A murder? A murder did indeed appear to happen. A person was found, a body was found right as the man was being burnt. They found a body in a puddle of blood. And yeah, I don't know. It just sounded, you know, the whole thing sounded not good for, like, from the start, it was like, ah, fucking crazy dust storms and then rain and then, and then somebody had a baby by accident. They didn't know they were pregnant, had a baby in their RV
Starting point is 00:13:23 that was then airlifted to an ICU unit, but seems okay. Orgy tent blew away, as we talked about before. And then somebody was murdered and now it like raises all these questions of like, who's in charge and like, you know, how, how do you solve a murder that happened to Burning Man that I don't think they've even released the name of the person they have they've identified it as a Russian National they did and okay because there was the way they were reporting it before was like this Russian National has been reported missing also there was there's a murder at Burning Man he was last known so they connected those two things yeah Vadium Kroglov is his name and apparently was people were like I guess was doing a ton for the festival and stuff because a lot of people are like
Starting point is 00:14:09 he's the true hero of Burning Man yeah It's just, again, man, I remember hearing about Burning Man when I was, like, fucking four years old. And, like, my dad's all spooky-ass art friends, like, would do that shit. And it's wild to see how it's evolved into this other thing now. Like, just, it's, it's odd. It's interesting. Like, the second Silicon Valley, people are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're doing that.
Starting point is 00:14:34 We're doing that. Oh, yeah. It gets bad. Comes a weird, like, a, like, truly, like, a odd place where you have, like, artists and people who are there to actually engage with the sense of community. And then you have people who are actively destroying the earth and would want nothing less than to do things in a communal way. But hey, what are the revelations that are hitting them, like, while they're on drugs?
Starting point is 00:14:57 You know, it seems weird to me. It could be something that, like, it's so welcoming and it's a community that they're suddenly not just an evil asshole who has a bunch of people that hate them that work for them. And they can just kind of blend into it. and everyone's like, hey, man, welcome. Like, let's just vibe together. I don't know. I have no idea, but it's probably a lot of people doing drugs for the first time
Starting point is 00:15:20 and then they're just chasing the dragon after that. The festival also got some attention because Nicole Shanahan, who is a Silicon Valley attorney. Silicon. Of course, the vice presidential running mate of RFK Jr. turned it into like a Christian morality thing, which was like, it used to be a devoted. burner in a in a lengthy post on X but said that she's she's now a new Christian and yes
Starting point is 00:15:52 there are constant orgies yes drugs are consumed and staggering quantities and yeah she's just like this is satanic now essentially oh wow I like as you said I went faithfully from 2014 to 2022 I'm like you're acting like you're some kind of OG yeah those are like the years when it was like fucking Mark Zuckerberg started going. I've been down with the Patriots since Tom Brady's fourth Super Bowl. Exactly. Okay. Uh-huh. Yeah, I've been there. You must know what you're talking about. Oh, it's funny. It's like that. I feel like a lot of people point to that beginning, sort of becoming the Silicon Valleyification of the festival
Starting point is 00:16:28 or late into that process. But anyway, you were married to the former head of Google. Oh, okay. Yeah. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport. The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal, glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene.
Starting point is 00:17:16 In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and Order Criminal Justice System is back. In Season 2, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this. This, pull that, turn this. It's just... I can do my eyes close. I'm Mani. I'm Noah.
Starting point is 00:18:15 This is Devin. And on our new show, No Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then, as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the runway. I'm looking at this thing.
Starting point is 00:18:39 See? Listen to no such thing. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed. From a very rural background myself, my dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian. with a story that no one expected to hear. The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented, directional programs that mimic military basic training.
Starting point is 00:20:15 These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.
Starting point is 00:20:53 We're back. And we're back, folks. Trump is still alive. There's an article on Wired about how Democrats are doing like a network of DNC influencers where they're like, we'll pay you $8,000 a month. Oh, shit. You don't. Would you call for that? Making a phone call.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I think they reach out to you and they're like, we are chorus. We are legion. You don't know us. Like the contract stipulates, like you can't say that you work for them. You can't. Like, it's a fight club situation. Oh, so it's like a high school boy who kisses a girl. I don't even say we kissed.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I want to you all fucking act like we don't even know each other. Don't even say anything. It's crazy. Yeah, that's wild. So don't mention we work together. Don't even mention you're being paid. Okay, this is very above board. I love this.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Go on. Yeah, it's very hydra-esque. And then they also, yeah, like just the people who had access to the contracts were like, I feel like I wouldn't be able to interview Zora and Mom Dani if I signed this contract. Because they tell you who and what you can do. So, yeah, some people didn't sign. There are a bunch of people who did, and I don't know, I haven't dug into, like, all the influencer accounts, but I mean, it's, I mean, it's a lot of people who you expect, but more than that, like, this is the version of the Democrats being really stupid with dark money, because they're using this all through, like, this is a dark money group that they're using, because that's the way they can hide everything. because this is something that I dabbled in too
Starting point is 00:22:34 when I worked in politics is you set up a 501c4 and that's something that just keeps you hidden from FEC reports so there's no paper trail and you don't have to disclose who is funding this and that's the beauty of these kinds of dark money social welfare nonprofits is that they can influence campaigns and do shit like this without you knowing where the money's coming from at all
Starting point is 00:22:56 and yeah this group is no different And it's just so funny that they're like trying to buy influence, but they're not letting influencers do what they do. It's like you can you will say what we need you to say exactly. And even if it sounds robotic from you, fuck it because we think that's how we're going to run in. Because like even like when you see how with the right wing shit, obviously like these people get talking points. But a lot of them are more it's like we like to put out these like disruptor motherfuckers who just say wild shit to normalize it. And we'll just give you money to do that. But with the Democrats, they're trying to pay people to, like, defend the status quo.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah. And the status quo is, like, not a cool status quo. No. You know, it's kind of a shitty status quo. So, like, what the fuck is this shit? Yeah. The Republicans have, you know, their people that they're paying are racist and white supremacy sells well in the United States, unfortunately, whereas the Democrats are, like, corporatists
Starting point is 00:23:55 who are, and like, institutionalists who are like, everything's actually cool here. Like, I feel like everything I need to know about the Democratic Party I learned from that, like, fashion week event for Kamala Harris. With like the Jenga tower of Trump lies. Another version of that.
Starting point is 00:24:15 And, I mean, good luck to you with this effort. But again, I mean, like, you know, the smart money would be on, well, whatever, they're not going to fucking abandon the status quo. Yeah, you just keep spending money, man. And honestly, people should just take this money and then, like, completely blow the contract up by talking about, like, here's the thing about socialism. And they're like, what the fuck? Don't fucking say that. And don't talk about Gaza and don't talk about Zorin and don't talk about Bernie and don't talk about
Starting point is 00:24:40 the police and don't talk about medicine. I'm so curious with like how many third rail topics there are, like in these contracts. But one of them, I'm sure they're predictable. have as an American girl doll-themed pro-DNC meme account. That's one of the ones that they're. Suzanne Lambert, who called herself a Regina George liberal. Oh, I love that. Oh, my God, I love that. That's so fun.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah, it's just all these people who are like, the content of our messaging can't be the problem. It's just like how we're messaging it. It's a messaging problem that we're going to get to the bottom of. Well, I think what's... Everybody sees through your bullshit. they're for better or worse like they're they see this problem with maga and they think it's going to be solved like through the old ways of doing things and the issue with like what
Starting point is 00:25:34 gave like there's so much maga momentum is like the faux populism of it all but like in the and the democrats can't do that at all like that's just a thing that they are unable to do so like they're trying to solve that issue there's like really rigid way that doesn't actually speak to people and it's gonna they're just gonna be pissing again shout out to chorus because you've taken i'm i can't imagine how much money these principles are walking away with from fucking running this operation and saying this like convincing these huge money donors that this is how we're gonna fucking write the ship yeah as you're fucking not yeah it's not eight thousand dollars a month for the people who are running the running this shit you know yeah all right and finally ding dong
Starting point is 00:26:18 ditch shootings are a thing in the United States, unfortunately, over the weekend, an 11-year-old child in Houston was shot and killed while playing ding-dong ditch. I was, I did enjoy playing this when I was nine years old, I think. I think everyone does ding-dong-ditch. Everybody has done it at least once. Don't admit it. Admit you did. Maybe it's just dead beats like us. Inevitably someone trips and falls because you're in a panicked full sprint and like you hurt yourself. I remember a kid did that real bad during one, but you know, another
Starting point is 00:26:51 reminder of how America prioritizes the torniness for guns over the safety of children. But a lot of people are defending the shooter and being like, this is actually part of a TikTok trend called the door kick
Starting point is 00:27:08 challenge, which involves kicking at doors to simulate home invasions. Do they kick down their door and like enter the person's house? No, they run away like oh i don't know ding-dong ditch except they kick the door instead of ring the doorbell yeah and people are like uh that's not the same thing actually this this kid deserved to get shot to death um he was doing the door kick challenge yeah and it sounds like the guy who shot this kid like had already like had the door kicked before and was doing a thing was like fool me twice
Starting point is 00:27:43 and was like waiting with a gun waiting for with a gun at the door. So he had already... That's premeditated at this... Yeah, that's premeditated. He had known that... I'm not a legal expert, but... Well, he knew that they were kicking the door and running away.
Starting point is 00:27:57 And his solution to that was to wait by the door with a gun to shoot them before they could run away and do nothing to harm him. Yeah. So... Oh, Jesus Christ. But this is, like, actually not uncommon in the United States. Yeah, yeah, you hear about this all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:15 It's not even ding-dong ditch. It'll be like a black person asked for directions or like a kid was like missed his busing. Someone shot through the door or some shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a guy who's a salesperson for a solar company who, yeah, I think was black and shot by somebody who used a racial slur. The only reason he survived was because he was like holding one of those like tablets that electric companies like make you come out with and like the bullet hit that. But, yeah, I mean, there's stories back to, like, 2003. In 2014, someone pulled a gun on a Girl Scout who was going door to door in Temecula.
Starting point is 00:28:54 What a fucking nightmare country we live in. And it's like, and it's so funny when you hear Trump be like, and I got to go to Chicago. And like, even like, the underpinnings of that is like guns. Right. Do we have a gun problem? I mean, obviously, most people know that at this point. But like, when it's being held by black people. that in the media diet of everyone who lives in constant fear under the threat of anyone who's not in their immediate family and outside of their four walls is just it's terrifying yeah the case in 2003 this guy killed a 16 year old who's like ding-dung ditching him the guy claimed he thought the kid was reaching for a gun when he shot him in the back and because it's florida he like got off with you know not murder yeah i think it's jail on the weekend
Starting point is 00:29:43 or something? Yeah, he got weekend to jail. So. And even though that's a thing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, wait. I know weekends for you. Taken away.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Like, that's football and stuff. That sucks. For chilling someone? For 10 years and then it was like cut short at four or something. But this is like gun ads. Like if you're a gun person like gun magazines, gun ads, like these are all, they're all about like trying to create a die hard in the mind of the gun purchaser. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:15 You have been John Wickified. Yeah, at that point. And you see videos all the time of people like showing off their like handgun skills and like these self-defense ways. And you're like,
