Yes.

We're going to talk about some junk food a little bit later on. Yeah. Happy National Junk Food Day. Skittles are poison. Oh, okay. Maybe. Probably. Allegedly.

I mean, they've been made illegal in other countries that pay attention to such things. Okay. So a little tease up top, but first you must know my name is Jack O'Brien, aka Hello from the Lambo side. I must have tried a thousand times to ask you that question. How are you get to Lambeau? When I asked, you never seemed to be home. That is a reference to Miles yesterday asking the question that's on all our minds.

How are you get to Lambeau? How are you get to Lambeau? Yeah. Shout out to Lex Lugie for that AKA, for respecting the pipes, knowing that I had it in me. And I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! All the shocks have come. Those turtles are done. Now I'm Miles and I don't fear tuna. Despite the unidentified DNA, we can eat yoga mats. Come on, subway, don't fear the tuna.

Let's go eat fish spread. Don't fear the tuna. All those turtles must die. Don't fear the tuna. I swear that it's bread. Okay, so shout out to Fighter of the Nightman. Look, they're catching sharks and turtles. That's why the Subway tuna is hitting all kinds of numbers on those tests.

And trash. Because it's part turtle, part shark. And I do like that our response was less about like, oh man, I love turtles. That's so messed up. And more like, ugh, turtles, gross. God. What else is in there?

I mean, culturally, turtles is a delicacy in Japan. Right. I didn't eat it much, but it's a little too chewy for me, to be honest. Now I'm kind of wondering what else is in there. Yeah. I mean. Seafood surprise. Yeah, exactly.

I think that's what Subway's seafood surprise. I'm down with that fishing boat mash just whatever whatever hit the deck after they emptied the trawler yeah even things that are inedible they just throw it in there fuck it i mean yeah well miles we are thrilled and fortunate to be joined uh by that voice that y'all just heard a very funny comedian activist she's the host of the great award-winning podcast good We are thrilled and fortunate to be joined by that voice that y'all just heard. A very funny comedian and activist. She's the host of the great award-winning podcast, Good Muslim, Bad Muslim. The senior fellow on comedy at the Pop Culture Collab.

She's written in the New York Times. Wrote and performed a piece for some lady named Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air. It's the hilarious and talented Zara Norbach! I was raised on the 10-second rule. It's okay if you lick a skitter. And it's poison. And you're dead now. And your life dead now.

And your life has ended. Okay, we got a vocal battle going. Damn. Okay. That was beautiful. Thank you. Are you a big Skittles fan? Huge.

Oh, you are? Skittles represents queerness, represents diversity, represents 80s suburban life, represents my non-diet, represents convenience store solidarity snack. Right, right, right. Okay, okay. Well, I have some good news. I don't think it works so quickly that know, at least a decade for the nanoparticles, a word that I just learned while researching and reading up on this story. Nanoparticles, which can travel to parts of your body that other molecules can't reach. And they might be poisonous. Whatever. I mean, I'm out here eating turtles, man. The problem is, Jack, that when you told me that, I tweeted it and I Instagrammed it.

Right away. I didn't notice you were busy before we introduced you. I told my family chat in Iran. Spit out those Skittles. Look, I know you guys got maybe something going on over there. The Skittles, though. Don't lick it. I think Iran might be safe.

That's how they generally feel. Yeah. Europe, they've banned it. They're like, it's from America now. Get that out of your mouth. Do you know how many times my relatives in Iran Instagram DM me, are you guys okay over there? No, right?

That's fine. No, we're not. Like, every day. Right. Are you okay? Valid question. Fair enough. Like, every day. Right. Are you okay? Valid question. Fair enough. Yeah.

All right. Well, Zara, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about today. We are talking European heat wave. There was like a hypothetical news report from a few years back where they were like, news report from a few years back where they were like, what if, like 2050, what it's going to look like if

climate change keeps up at this rate. Here's what the weather report is going to look like in 2050. And it's basically what it looks like right now. We might be ahead of schedule. We might be ahead of the curve. And one of those things, you don't want to be ahead of the curve. And we will, of course, discuss

whether Skittles are poison. Okay, Skitties. I see. Save the most important for the end. I understand. Oh, yeah. Yeah, exactly. All that, plenty more. But first, Zara, we like to ask our guests,

what is something from your search history? X-Files scripts, baby! Okay. What's up? What's going on? You just trying to some late bedtime reading or what are we looking for? The truth is out there. Yes.

Oh my God. Okay. It started with me trying to write a pilot about magic. Okay. And wanting to make it a noir. And now it has become that I only hang out with Scully and Mulder. And I don't read the news.

And I stop posting on my Twitter. And it's because I'm just hanging out with Scully and Mulder. And we have a lot of things to do. And reading. Not even watching. Reading? Well, you see, when you have an obsession, you have to justify it have to justify it okay yeah yeah and so it's research that i'm doing heavy research okay and it's valid and it requires me engaging with it

in the mornings as well because i have to read the prose and action lines and just like really up my game as a writer and that's why it's all that i do wait so there's is there so there's something about x-files scripts that kind of that you admire that you you see they're like that you're just trying to add the truth is out there i mean you can't keep saying that or else it happens and i'm gonna find it so you do you think x-files because we talk a lot about how even though we're not like big trackies here star trek's model of the universe is like one that i at least started on that go ahead i at least subscribe to i think we might be you know just we're being frozen out because we

haven't hit a level yet but there's there's definitely aliens who know about us and are just like didn't in 2020 weren't they like oh yeah aliens are real keep going yeah yeah exactly so my theory because they're not trying to kill us as as far as we know the only thing they could be doing is just like waiting for us to hit a certain level i don't know like i said were there reality tv yeah they're why they're like using us for entertainment actually makes a lot of sense. Visiting our oceans. They're killing themselves.

The aliens are watching like, they're doing the thing where they burn the shit that makes the planet die. And they're doing more of it again. Sir, let us step in now, sir. Please, sir. I know. No, no, this shit's going to be hilarious.

They're going to get so hot. They're just watching us sweat. Yeah, they're not hot enough yet. Walking our dogs. A little bit longer. Okay, as a person from a destabilized nation, now two of them, the United States and Iran,

there is this sensation that you feel in the thick of destabilization where you are begging for an alien abduction. Right. Right. Yeah. Totally. I've been there for a minute.

That experience is colonization. Right. Oh, God. That's colonization. Colonization is us begging for some other country with infrastructure to step in and fix this shit. Colonize me, daddy. Exactly. So I'm like meta fascinated by my own desperation.

Yeah. Wow. My God. Do you feel like that is the urge that is bringing you to the X-Files? Or are you just a fan of Mulder and Scully and the will they won't they have it all? I'm glad you asked. Let me begin with the three hour answer. My husband thinks that it is my relationship to narcissistic hot women that draws me into Mulder's quest.

Your husband also your therapist? That's some deep analysis that I would not dare to bring into my marriage. This is a pandemic relationship. Right. I feel like you got to level up, folks. If you haven't already become therapists for each other in this,

you got to level up. If you haven't said, I can see how that would echo things from your relationship with your father in a real sentence during the pandemic. Are y'all together? Right. And I understand why that upsets you.

At this point, we just have a deck of cards called shadow material questions. And the X-Files What's on the cards? What's on the cards what's on the cards just pictures of skittles yeah and the like this is this is stuff that takes you to a dark place as a couple the it takes us to a it takes us to a dark place but then you come out of it even more enmeshed and even more codependent oh Oh, that sounds fantastic.

Which is what we're all looking for. Right. 100%. All right. Favorite X-Files episode, just off the rip. Oh my God, it's got to be Bad Blood. Okay. The vampire spoof one.

Oh. With the other Wilson brother. Oh no, I forgot his name. Luke? Yes. Damn. That's got to be tough on luke that to this day he's probably been in more movies than no one but he's always gonna be the the other wilson brother

all right i didn't i gotta i gotta check that one out what is uh what is something you think is underrated okay maternity leave we Mm. Mm. Mm. We are trying to have a little Zara. Okay. Specifically. Little Z? Yeah.

Couple little Zs. Okay. And it has been a journey. Last time I saw y'all, I didn't know that I had had two out of three miscarriages. Oh my God. I'm sorry. that i would then come to have thank you yeah uh that's why i was depressed i didn't know because it just i just had like the hormone dump right and i oh right i felt horrendous and i didn't know what was wrong with me and i just

thought i had like irregular periods and shit and i was like i don't know what was wrong with me. And I just thought I had like a regular periods and shit. And I was like, I don't know what my problem is. And I was being so mean to myself. And then I find this out and I'm like, yo. And, and so it's been this journey trying to figure it out. Cause I also have thyroid disease and that complicates pregnancy.

And like my whole life, I thought 40 year old me could handle everything and pushed everything into the future basket of 40 year old Zara. Right. She'll deal with that. When I was in my 30s, ambivalent about corporate job, 40 year old Zara's got this. Ambivalent about kids, 40 year old Zara's got this. old Zara's got this ambivalent about kids 40 year old Zara's got this ambivalent about moving to LA 40 year old Zara's got right like it gets easier and uh most I realized most of my putting it off was because I never was in a job with real maternity leave that I could like rely on to take care of myself.

You know, it's just like something we take for granted, right? It's just so for great. And when I was coming on, I was like, what's my underrated going to be like, how am I going to frame this?

You know? And I was like, everybody just have kids as soon as you can. Don't wait, figure it out later. Don't leave it to 40 year old self. No, you're never going to have more downtime than high school, folks.

That's what I'm saying. Listen, you recover. High school summer. Just plan it for a high school summer. Yeah. And then I was like, no, you know what it is. In my 30s,

I didn't have any kind of infrastructural support to make those choices. Right. Yeah. I mean, there's so much of there are so many factors like that when most people are like i don't know if i'm gonna have kids like wait i've actually been too poor to have a kid in a way that i think wouldn't make me feel super stressed out about like sustaining another life form plus do you have you like given

your energy to like an employer who is like i will give you the humane things you need you know it's like such a balancing act of all those things right and i think we have to know that we're not entitled to any kind of alien ship abduction hero rescue right we gotta do that mothership rescue at our jobs gotta mothership rescue ourselves we gotta like we we have to turn the plate the spaces that we're in we have to turn them around both yeah wow well i mean yeah that's why it's it's always amazing to see again when people always the ignorant americans like we're the number one. You're like not like we're pretty much at the back of the line for everything. And like when you look at parental leave, it's.

Yeah. You're like, oh, I think. Oh, that makes sense. We live in like the grossest place, but we just have the cheapest consumer goods. Oh, my God. Some of my family moved to London because they can do that. They were like, we're out of here. They're a mixed race, black and Persian. Half of it was to settle the question of private school, public school, charter charter school because they wanted the arts for their daughters they moved to london and it's all included right it's all included like their expenses their monthly expenses in the bay area were like four thousand dollars for rent

five thousand dollars tuition yeah yeah how how can we and then and then battle racism on top of that like come on a flat screen tv flat screen tvs are very viable flat screen you get that but also everywhere yeah you can get that everywhere it's just like when compared to previous generations that's the one thing that is better is consumer electronics. Someone tweeted something. It's like, I forget who it was. I just had laughed. But they were like, it's wild to me that you can buy a flat screen TV for $300, but for the same amount of money, you will get the shittiest dresser or table.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's like, that's so true. Like, dude, level of craftsmanship, especially with, like, furniture, because, like, we use so much, like, you know, like, fiberboard and, like, not real solid wood and shit like that just to, like, have cheap, quick furniture. Yeah. Yeah, you got to buy from previous generations. Oh, yeah, that's what I'm like. Yeah, when you look at, like, vintage furniture, like, oh, it's not because I like the looks. Like, look, this shit will fucking go forever. Right.

Also, I have to say, that's what I call my husband. Babe. There you go. Cheap furniture. Cheap furniture. There it is. Yeah, I was noticing behind you, and we're on Zoom, but behind you, like, you are using your husband as a coat rack. Is that, is he just standing completely still?

Is that, Oh my goodness. Calm down. Just his skin. Okay. All right. Got it. What is something you think is overrated?

Overrated. Uh, my brain just went blank. Oh my God. I love that. It's just evaporated. Over, overrated is sunshine. Sunshine is overrated.

I don't need this much of it. Wow. And I wonder if God knows that. What do you mean? What's it like you sunshine in the sense of just daylight of actual contact with your skin outside. What's your beef with the sunlight? These days when I walk outside and the sun lands on my face with a smack, you know? Just get punched in the face by a hot sunny day.

UV Africa. I mean, I'm brown. I don't burn that easily. I know my snap filter lightens me up because racism. Because the algorithm. When the sun hits down upon my cheek with

a rough smack, it burns. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm not ready for this new era where brown folks are getting sunburned by this shit right this is yeah this is some like ozone free direct oh yeah for real i remember that was the shit i thought in the 90s as a kid because like all the white kids put on sunscreen and i'm

right i remember my dad was like don't do that i'm like why he's like because they ain't got melanin and i was like what and i remember being like an annoying ass kid i'm like y'all burning and then the science was like no uv rays fuck up everybody's skin though and i'm like fuck i was hoping that was like the one thing i could be like that's karma for fucking slavery y'all burn don't do that yeah doesn't turn out sunny weather has like some of the strongest propaganda too like there's so many songs that are like uh comparing the to a sunny day or sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy and i got sunshine on a cloudy day like i think we need to start altering the general aesthetic of like how we feel about the sun versus

i think we all need a little more drew barrymore in our life like we need to respect the rainy days a little bit more and just get out there put our face to the sky and start weeping with joy the way that drew barrymore did in a recent video we I think we need that Stone Temple Pilots Black Hole Sun vibe. Like that's more accurate. I believe that's Soundgarden. Whoops. Yeah. I said Stone Temple Pilots, didn't I? Get your yarler straight.

You know what? Sorry to do that, but... In my eyes, indisposed. Yeah, their voices are pretty different. In this day that no one knows. different oh my god that album made the fuck me up those faces man yeah cause their eyes are like fully black

and then like melted and I'm like that's usually what I take when I'm like going to get a haircut or something I bring a picture of those whole son people and I'm like look book didn't they have like jagged teeth and shit yeah and like their eyes weren't their eyes like real sharky like real sharky they had that permanent smile oh yeah it was like there's like when that like early computer like um like image distortion software came out like there was like a program called like morph from the early 90s where it's like take a picture and like make a guy's eye big

well and that was sort of like what this was like big mouths big eyes yeah oh wow that looks way worse than i remembered it looking it's like how did they achieve that back then nightmare fuel yeah there's a new uh movie coming out where it's like The Smile or something like that. And it's just a bunch of people with that face. They like a sickness, an illness spreads where everybody gets a big smile on their face. Looks terrifying. Whoa, that's Twilight Zone-y. It's called getting one too many texts from Nancy Pelosi.

Oh, my God. Because you get that same picture of her. She's like, hey, it's from Nancy Pelosi. Oh, my God. Because you get that same picture of her. She's like, hey, it's Nancy. You're like, I like how my phone now because like she's using all kinds of burner numbers that my phone was like, I think suggested contact Nancy for this number. I'm like, no phone. Like, fuck off out of here. I don't know. They're trying to steal money from me.

We're all Nancy Pelosi fans in here, right? This is a Nancy Pelosi loyalist club. Dude, we're the list. Loyalist stands over here. If we just got behind Nancy, Nancy's dropped. Thank you. Then we would be fine. Just vote harder and give her more of your money.

$3. You know, you're over here. Your thing is like you want an alien to take you away. I want to text with Nancy's face saying, I have never seen anything like this. I need money, man. It's like, how? I need money, man.

That's what the vibe of every text is and it completely betrays the urgency that we're actually facing in this country when you get hit up like democrats need to win arizona now right and you're too fucking broke to fucking throw down on democracy fam so why don't you piss off out of here anyway stop uh text stop to end why does your nancy pelosi sounds a lot like my dad it's because i feel like they if you look at them on a continuum they're just like the trump ones like they're they're like aggro they're really trying to be i i'm in uh i'm i'm in a chat with a couple of centrists oh no

how you live as a centrist right now right now I don't even know but it's wildly entertaining who's a very centrist and blames a lot of stuff on Bernie Bros and stuff like that oh my god it's like constant victim blaming for one yes

people of color are Crying so much Yeah Centrism is a Toxic luxury that too many people Oh my god They're constantly like, why can't we be More like the Republicans?

You know, a fascist front And that's from my perspective As someone who has nothing on the line right like that's why full like you're yeah you reveal yourself because you're like i'm i'm my worldview is none of this is gonna affect me so i don't really care but like y'all are being too loud on that side that's what's hilarious about it too is in the small ways that it is affecting them they still don't know what to do it's like somebody getting stung by bees and just being like

I don't understand man Bert's bees wax company probably maybe the answer is inside this hive shaped thing let me step inside what if we got bigger bees to fight the bees we don't like? It's like, but then there's just more bees, man.

I don't know. Worth trying. Worth trying. I get it. And like the person I'm talking about, like their rights are definitely on the line in a way that, you know, is even more real for them than it is for me. And so, like, it's hard to argue with them being like well it's you know impractical and like we just we do need to win these two senate seats i don't know what to tell you type shit but it's like i don't know man it's it it's not working we we have we

have the the horses that's not it's not running they're over 572 bills or whatever you want however you want to count it like yeah anyway all that to say uh shouts to nancy i guess i will add her contact anyways let's get off all this bad gloomy news and get to uh some happy news about some sunny weather in Europe.

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 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, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

And there's a european heat wave if if we were an actual morning zoo show instead of a parody of one we would be playing that heat wave song or something like that but uh we we don't have that much energy for kyle mooney when he was at the the miami heats victory parade video that he put on YouTube years ago. And he's like, go heat, go heat. Anyway, so that would be the sound drop for that. But it's wild because there's this, there's a couple, there's this image on Twitter that was going around and a few that were showing that like, so in 2014, there was like a French meteorologist on the news who was like, yo, with with the climate change models we're looking at like we're we are looking at undeniably like a hotter future without you know as as things stand by

doing fuck all and showed this hypothetical weather forecast from from you know for august of 2050 where it showed you know temperatures going up to like 107 degrees and like well into the triple digits in the south of france and people were like, oh, sure. OK. I mean, but that's not now, though. In the UK, there's a similar thing on the news as well, where they show the effects of global warming and what it would do to the country in this hypothetical year of 2050. And many people have noticed by putting side by side the map they were using to be like hey we got to get our shit together it it very closely matches exactly what this like hypothetical map was like what they're the the temperatures that are being experienced right now in europe so a lot of people

like oh that's interesting uh i mean granted heat waves have been coming but some of it is like right on like dead on they have like london at 40 in the hypothetical map and 40 there it is actual forecast from this week yeah 100 and i mean i think it's pretty it's pretty alarming no matter how you look at it but i also just want to point out i honestly think hypothetical weather forecasts are pretty effective because i've never like when i saw that i was like that's a probably a very easy way to conceptualize this is how fucking difficult your life's gonna be like through vis-a-vis weather because it's something we check pretty regularly as people yo they just did that nature documentary uh prehistoric earth or whatever where they like put millions and millions probably like hundreds of millions of dollars into

creating basically a david attenborough nature documentary that was imagine the world when dinosaurs walked the earth and it's very dope and like when you watch it you're like man they used a lot of very gifted people's talents to put this together this is a good idea that you just came up with miles like they need to i mean this is they've been doing this shit a year but like no i mean like even a more vivid one like give us a 24-hour news channel that is 10 years in the future and just showing us what the fuck is happening as a result of all of the horrible decisions that we're making right now because it's it's not getting through. Folks, we need to connect to those calls of action. We need to connect to those

realizations, real infrastructure. It can't just be that because like this is my fear with the way that social media algorithms work now and they're echo chambering. I've been echo chambered on my social media ever since last year when I started posting about Israel and Palestine. Oh, like you're heavily echo chamber. I have 5000 followers each time I post about Palestine. It drops to 11. Wow. 11 views. And it stays that way until I show a lot of puppy pictures.

Or like misspell the word right you're like p-a-l-a-c-e-s-t-e-i-n palestine but now they go by the images too they're reading the images it's not just yeah so yeah it's it's aggressive echo chambering so like sometimes i wonder with these like amazing studies that come out amazing articles that come out amazing things that people say and realizations that folks are having how fast it dissipates on social media they irrigate it away yeah and make it harder to follow through on action yeah right i mean yeah that that tracks and And you can certainly see how algorithms are definitely siloing certain kinds of content. Oh, my God. The word racism is censored on Instagram.

Right. Right. They just they have it focused only on people who who like respond positively to that word. And most people it just gives you the whatever whoever gets a dopamine hit from your thing like that's who it's going to which is again i'm sure another interesting twist for the aliens who are watching the reality show mass of this planet they're like dude they created fucking weird computer programs that make them dumber and keep them away from the solutions that will help them. It's this show is wild on earth.

It's just out of control. It's just the like very basic logical like end point of hyper capitalism is just like everything becomes marketing and we're all carrying around little marketing devices that are, you know, inches away from our faces that take away our free will like that's to, and replace it with, you know, whatever is going to drive the most consumption.

There's some alien chick on a spaceship somewhere with amphibian hands. It's like, earth is my vanity watch. But yeah, I mean, like just to get back into like this, the what is actually happening right in Europe, like there have been many firsts just from this current heat wave. Like the UK, their meteorological service had to issue like a red warning for heat, like a heat advisory for the very first time ever. France shattered over 100 different heat records in spain they're estimating like a potentially up to 500 people or more have died as a result of the extreme heat and you've we've you've probably seen pictures of like wildfires that have broken out in portugal spain france or like people in a train who are

like stuck because like shit's on fire around them. It's really it's really disconcerting shit. We've we've talked before on this show about how like even in the United States, when there's a lot of heat deaths and there's a lot more heat deaths now than there ever have been, and it's only increasing, they don't get media coverage like the way that other natural disasters do. And this one is because it's like out of the ordinary, but it is also very invisible. Like no bodies are floating down the street. You know, it's like happening behind closed doors, usually to the sorts of people that don't get a lot of media attention naturally.

I mean, I mean, we saw the same thing like India and Pakistan had a terrible heat wave in May. I mean, we saw the same thing, like India and Pakistan had a terrible heat wave in May. And it was like a couple of inches of newspaper articles written about it. But I think because most people, people are so fucking like in this, like they can't break this inertia of fear around like climate anxiety, too, that like I feel it's also contributing to a lot of places. Like even myself, I'm like when I start seeing grim shit about the climate i'm like oh fuck please like i know i fucking know but there's just other shit happening right now that feels so fucked up and i feel like that's a really terrible place for many people to be in as well see this is what i mean by these echo chambers this is like i follow climate disaster very closely because I'm an enormous fan of secular catastrophe. Right.

Right. It's a bonus. It brings me a sun smack smile. It's metal, man. There's nothing more metal than a secular catastrophe. See? Yeah. But I wouldn't have known actually like that there is a problem with people knowing more information about it because

it's flooded in my feed right yeah intended but like you know there's also like you look at the infrastructure though like there's the problem is so multi-layered right because like they're even like the jet streams are changing above europe like the flow the flow of the oceans and things like that, how that is also changing where the hotspots are appearing in Europe on top of the pollution that's driving a lot of it as well. One huge thing I didn't realize, like 5% at most,

like around less than 5% of European homes have air conditioning. That is wild. And that makes me believe that they are going to get this fixed faster than the United States because holy shit.

That's going to cause more problems, right? If everybody starts doubling down on the grid for AC. The same thing was mentioned in Texas recently. They're having grid problems, but the thing is more heat requires more power generation to keep the ACs on, which means more, you know, coal fired shit going up. It's they're like, what about that feedback loop, too?

Like then there's a whole other efficiency around like insulation, too, because many homes like are designed to like retain heat in the winter than to stay like cool like you know that's why like houses in la barely have any insulation in them you know they're like and that's why like they get fucking icy in the winter freezing in the winter man the coldest winter i ever had was the first winter that i moved out to los angeles and lived in santa monica and like just packed my beach shit you know i was like all right let's get ready and then like i didn't know how to light the fucking pilot lighter for the heater in my in my house and we call the gas company froze yeah right i eventually figured out but i mean it was it was a cold couple months right and the to the energy generation point like in france right they

had to dial back a nuclear energy output because at one of the plants that they use to generate energy the rivers that they use to like cool the reactors the the water temperature of the rivers had gone too high because of the heat so it wasn't even there like we can't responsibly even cool our reactors with this water like because the waters the river's fucking too hot. Okay, that. Go ahead, finish the. No, I'm just saying, like, that's the kind of, like, breath.

There's just shit that freaks me out. I'm like, the rivers are fucking too hot. That took the breath out of me. Like, the fact that there could be a situation where the water is too warm for nuclear reactors to cool down, that sounds like a problem folks yeah gotta put it in the refrigerator to cool the nuclear reactors which creates more heat which yeah yeah put some ice packs in it like yeah where are the ice packs coming yeah and you know the end the other issues too are like in like california places like arizona in the u.s people know like

being in high temperatures is just like a thing that they're used to like we're used to right and you're also kind of taught or made to be more aware of like like you actually need to be safe when it's really hot outside right places like in these other places in europe where they're not used to these kinds of temperatures they're also less likely to have this like general knowledge to obviously the municipalities and the government is like hey you need to know this shit but a lot of these things end up compounding on each other to make the effects of like these heat waves even worse and you know like heat stress especially it's like the big thing that is really not talked about as

much as like the effects that heat have because at night it's too hot you're not sleeping well your your sleep gets all fucked up that has tremendous health effects as well so it's a very complex issue but one at the end i think a lot of scientists are like we're really thinking of like if what our models are because we couldn't eat we they you know they failed to predict that huge like heat blob that was above the Northwest last summer. And a lot of, I think, climate scientists are worried that, I mean, we have modeling, but when shit like this is happening too,

that's also added concern. Dang. That's... There was a X-Files episode where Scully saved a bad guy by telling him what to do when he was hot. Oh, nice. Just because people don't know. Right.

Because that's real. And it happened in the X-Files. Okay. And see, that's why everything comes full circle. circle okay yeah so like the the two ways of dealing with this like the what we just mentioned about five percent of houses only five percent having ac like you could either you know stop climate change or or you can like like they're 10 years from now 90 of the houses will have air conditioning at which point they're dumping, you know, gases via, you know, electricity generation. There's also the forest fires thing where it's forest fires dump so much, you know, it used to be a manageable amount and now just

so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And it only it's like these you know feedback loops are are just you know speeding up and getting bigger and i don't know that's the shit that really scares me do you hear the good news taste the rainbow you can lick skittles eat poison and die no no real good news about the the little carbon bits that capture carbon in the atmosphere and you can like bury them in the ground no what see this is what happens folks when you don't follow climate news you don't get the good news about the rivers being too hot to cool the nuclear reactors there's nothing to do about that. That's going to kill us. But for those that doesn't kill, there are that scientists have found from following the patterns of certain kind of cockroach. They found a way to capture carbon in the air, excess carbon in the air, in little pieces of bark that then hold like a certain number of grams of carbon that is like

phenomenal and they're able to bury it in the ground so it doesn't heat up the atmosphere it buried in the ground and it grabs the carbon out of the air yes what the hey like like not sorry not buried buried in the ground it's sort of like on the surface. Right. Yeah. That's great. It pulls in carbon from the atmosphere. Then we're fucking saved. Why are we even talking about this? This is bullshit. Sorry, listeners.

I didn't mean to freak you out with the hot river shit. We got bark bits that are going to save us. Spoiler. We're climate alarmism. Which is wild because there was someone on Twitter did a side by side of a clip from uh don't look up and like a scene where they're like uh very terrible things are gonna happen to our planet and then did it a side by side with like gbn which is like like the uk is like shitty version of fox where like a person was saying like you know they had a version of fox where like a person was saying like you know they had a meteorologist on saying like yeah it's it's it's nice now but next week it could be absolutely terrible and like one of

the anchors like but you know isn't that just alarmism and you know like a lot of people talk about like it gets hot sometimes and this guy was like no not like this at all ever right and they're like okay but like it was a wild how uncomfortable the anchor was hearing this person be like it's going like it's it might be 20 degrees celsius today next we could get to 40 that's a fucking problem and like whoa so 40 is like 100 right like 40 and 100 are basically the yeah it's i mean no it's it's well over. I think it's like 104 or five or something like that. Yeah, right. 32 is 100 now or something.

I don't know. 40 is 104. Yeah. So I'm just saying this is the one area where I think we're better. 37.778 is 100. I mean, it hit in Arizona, right? Didn't it? Somewhere in Arizona and in California, didn't it hit like 160 or something outrageous?

I don't think it's ever hit 160. Like Mumbai was 140. Death Valley. What did Death Valley hit? I think Death Valley has the highest or had the record for a long time. Anyway. Record heat is 134. 134.

130. What was it? Damn is 134 134 134 what was it damn 134 degrees fahrenheit or 57 degrees celsius for the international game and you know what guess when that was 1913 wow guess what that next round is gonna be where they're oh, y'all forgot about me, huh? That was in 1913. I've been in the lab. Damn. Yeah. That's warm. It's also like you ended this right up by being like, maybe our mildest summers are behind us. Summer was hot when I was a kid, man.

I don't look back and be like, ooh, those were some mild summers. I remember just dragging a skateboard down the street like just so like just demolished by the heat that i couldn't couldn't even like ride it i saw you yeah i was just like just dead but i feel like no i mean that's been like the prevailing sentiment the last few like the last year so i read that pretty consistently where they're like just so you know like what you're experiencing now may be the last time you experience it like this like conceptualize that and that's always stuck with me uh when they're like yeah you think it's hot now but you might be thinking back and be like man i wish it was the summer of 2022 oh my. Let's take a quick break and then we'll come back

and talk about how Skittles are poison. Full spaceship. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

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 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. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have 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, 20? 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, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and uh you're back with miles and the and the dog uh so skittles are poison maybe a california man is suing mars the company, not the planet, over Skittles, claiming that it is unfit for human consumption because of a material called titanium dioxide, which is an inert and also insoluble material typically used as a whitener. You may know its work from sunscreen and ranch dressing oh sweet ranch yeah we don't know what color ranch would be without this shit in it ranch might just be like you know pea green or something black yeah oh my god it's like the flowy shit from uh severance the what't. What's his name? Keep seeing. I can't believe I don't actually know my ranch.

Yeah. Yeah, right. So it isn't necessarily harmful to people, but there has been some added concern over the past several years that while it is approved by the FDA in micro amounts, now food contains nano sized versions of it. Now food contains nano-sized versions of it because there are other examples of nanoparticles doing more harm to the body because they simply act differently than larger particles. They're smaller than microparticles. and size of the titanium dioxide particles could affect people's bodies because it hasn't been tested as much which in a country where you know people's blood type is ranch right well and also in a country where like corporations aren't you know business bureaus didn't run the entirety of like how things operate they might do the tests before they, they might've waited to see how it operates on us before they put it into food that is in every store around the country. But no, they have just gone ahead and been like, well, so far no one's head has exploded.

There's been some studies, but even they seem to conflict one another. So there's uncertainty. But just a couple leading indicators here. First of all, Dunkin' Donuts have removed titanium dioxide from their products. So... No, Dunkin', why? I feel like no one wants to make decisions that are less healthy than the brain trust of Dunkin' Donuts. That feels...

Yeah, I mean, those culottes. They did a number on my body, for sure. By the way, the Duncan decision was in response to pressure from the advocacy group, as you saw. And there's other work from advocacy groups like consumer advocacy groups that i just feel like i have not seen in the mainstream media or in any sort of like mainstream pop culture a cool person who like works for an advocacy group you know and like a movie where like an advocacy group's work is like taken seriously and you know that's this these are the bad guys for movies they're like the you know the people who get made fun of in pcu or something right they are actually out

here doing work to protect you from having nanoparticles like at the end points of your toenails or whatever wherever the fuck also they're ending up. Also, one more instance of whiteness destroying the world. Yeah. Literally. Just straight up. Come on, folks! We make it more white! The food whitener killed half the people! Right. Huh.

How about that? So, this is especially interesting in the case of Skittles, because Mars announced, Mars, again, the food company, notles because mars announced mars again the food company not the planet announced in 2016 that they were going to remove their artificial coloring including titanium dioxide from their human food products oh which by that they mean not their pet food products it's not like a soylent green situation but they set a goal for five years in the future, so 2021. So you may notice that we have passed that year. They failed to make that deadline. And the other food dyes that they have

failed to remove do have observable connections to major problems. Doctors have warned that some dyes have clear links to behavioral problems in children, which the FDA has disputed. But I just, more and more, I start to think that the FDA is basically a business, like a corporate advocacy group. Yeah, I feel like the CDC was the last one to go down. You know? Where they're like, yeah, I mean, we know better, but there's...

Man, the people that are running this thing are telling us to do it another way. So, yeah, I mean, we know better, but there's, man, the people that are running this thing are telling us to do it another way. So, I mean, how could you, how could you think anything else when you look at that? So while Mars decided to not meet their own goal in the United States, they did remove the chemicals from their European products where the laws are far stricter. So that I feel like should tell you everything you need to know right the u requires labels warning consumers that some dyes may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children and so jack we don't forgive them for banning mountain dew what's that i said we don't forgive them for banning Mountain Dew.

I shouldn't drink Mountain Dew. What the fuck? What happened to you, Jack? Yeah, what is going on? It's self-destructive behavior. Oh my God, you said it was vitamins the other day to that group of school children. And minerals. It has minerals. I've never once said that it is good

for me. It has electrolytes. I like that you're really clarifying that. Like, of course. I never said that shit. I would just like to say. Sorry, hold on. My attorney is speaking into my earwigs. So I've never once actually said that Mountain Dew is vitamins or that it gives you superpowers.

And if you find audio of me saying that, it's probably manipulated by Super producer Justin, he's always trying to put words in my mouth. Wow. Wow. Yeah, that's wild. Justin into this. It's I think that's when usually when I'm like, oh, that you won't let him have it. I'm like, OK, that's we just need to keep track. Yeah, because I'm like, look, they're over the counter.

Cold medicine hits harder over there. And they're also like, look, bro, we get it. Some shit. We don't need all the pharmaceutical companies to control most of it, though. You can have this more strong cold medicine, but you're not getting that yellow five. them on it but i am aware of their thoughts on cold beverages that they think it like makes you sick and i'm also aware that they're probably right about but about also added like revenue streams too because like you go to a market in like europe they'll be like yo you want the cold one that's like that's like a couple more if you want the cold one otherwise you can get it in the hot ass back of the store cheaper and. And also we use less energy. But that's why they have to hold on to it. Because they have to save those bottles of cold Mountain Dew for when the rivers get hot.

That's right. Exactly. For when the nuclear towers need cooling. That was actually what Mountain Dew was originally designed for. Was to cool nuclear towers. That was actually what came out the other designed for. Was to cool nuclear towers. It was actually what came out the other side of the reactor once they cooled it. They're like, hey, bottle that shit up. It's colder on the other side?

That's why it's so yellow and bright. It has traveled to the upside down and come out the other side. And it tastes great. It's bright green. Somehow it's colder. Bill, your skin is yellow. That's just jaundice from a bunch of other terrible decisions I made. Don't blame the

dew for my yellow complexion. Yeah, Skittles are banned in Sweden and Norway. Like, straight up. They didn't even, like, they weren't even appeased by them taking the... Oh, they're like, oh, you want us to pay for your motherfucking healthcare and let you eat Skittles? No. Yeah, exactly.

Look, you have one or the other. If you want to poison yourself, go to the US or they don't give a fuck about you. And Europe just banned titanium dioxide from food products last month. So it just seems like we might want to keep an eye on titanium dioxide. So you're saying eat less Skittles? I might be saying that. I don't know. On the record?

Can we get that on the record? No, you may not. I might be saying that. I don't know. On the record? Can we get that on the record? No, you may not. I'm going to put the fifth. To quote Michael Flynn, the fifth. Oh, so they say things that contain the most titanium dioxide are usually heavily processed items in the categories of candies and sweets, cake decorations, chewing gum, chocolate, milk products, like not chocolate, chocolate, milk products, pastries, salad dressings, and sauces. Damn. Okay, so I'm going to make my own sauces now.

Is that how they get white chocolate? No. It's just pure titanium dioxide. You're eating titanium dioxide. No. Do you know how many times I just lick sunscreen folks this is a problem alright I'm gonna give you

a little piece of good news at the end the lawsuit notes that other candy brands including Sour Patch Kids Swedish Fish and Nerds are vibrantly colored like Skittles

yet don't rely on titanium dioxide yeah nerds nerds Sour Patch Kids nerds nerds

hell yeah nerds I knew I fucked with nerds. Is that a nerve rope? It's a nerve ropes, which are held together with pure titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide. Damn it! I don't know that to be true.

If you look at the chemical diagram of titanium dioxide, it's a nerds rope. I know! Skittles do feel like when i when i compare sour patch kids and nerds to skittles like nerds you put them in your mouth and you're like oh yeah this is just dissolving like it's a bunch of sugar that was just held together yeah it's just right sugar rocks yeah sour patch kids you know it's just gummy candy that has sugar around it but like skittles is like this is this has to have been man-made in some like lab uh like i this shouldn't exist like i i get that vibe like i've i've bit a skittle in half and been like huh what how is

this so perfect and so good like i i kind of feel the same way about starbursts they're like so damn good i mean they should be illegal the the vibrant colors of skittles i think that's how yeah like all like isn't like in nature like poisonous plants sometimes have like the most vibrant colors too they're trying to lure you in yeah right but i mean like and capitalism was like yep that part we'll take that idea and we will use it to lure you in and and poison you to death right because when they when they put out i remember when tropical skittles came out they're like yo you ever seen somebody just uh color print colors on top of a candy before like the colors were so fucking vivid on those i was like man this blue like, giving me a headache just looking at it.

Wait, so is that what they're putting in all those cakes that look like something else? Like, it's a shoe, but it's a cake? Maybe for those guys. The cake toppings really bummed me out. Because I love a nice piece of birthday cake. Well, and now cakes are just, like level cia agents yeah just their cakes are like they're always hiding something yeah right i mean i think at the end of the day like pardon me like when i read this stuff i'm like look i gotta be realistic man like my parents

let me eat whatever the fuck in the 80s and 90s like if my whole shit isn't titanium dioxide at this point i don't know what the fuck is yeah i mean that's my nihilistic view on it is like i'm fucked already okay yeah one time my sister drank a whole bottle of oil and then she goes that wasn't apple juice oil what kind of oil canola oil okay she drank the whole thing i thought this is what i'm saying first this is america we drink we drink the glass yeah and then we go now that wasn't apple juice yeah now that was poison correct not even one of the best oils to chug and then you have canola burps for the next day wait Wait, I'm sorry. How do you, was the canola like in the fridge?

Is that why? And you're like, oh, let me get it. My mom had it in a glass ready for a recipe. Oh, yeah. And she just went, oh, apple juice. It is apple juice. Yeah. She drank the whole thing.

And then after she drank the whole thing, she goes, that wasn't apple juice. So many things are the color of apple juice. It's really, you got to watch out out there. See, we need JM to write a story on that. Thank you. Anyway, shout out to JM for the Skittles or Poison story. Advocacy. He is writing from the great land of Canada.

So he's not, the FDA hasn't gotten to him yet. Ah. No. Brave Canada. Yes, brave Canada. Well, Zara, it's been such a pleasure as always having you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Check me out on ZaraComedy.com. Also, I'm teaching a series of workshops online that you can take in comedy writing, in solo performance, and in stand-up and storytelling.

Check them out. They're available on my website, ZaraComedy.com. Z-A-H-R-A-Comedy. Z-A-H. Yeah, a bit of an expert on storytelling and performing, I'd say. You heard it here, folks. Exactly. You know what's up.

That's money well spent. Come and get me before the Skittles swallow my brain. The Skittles take hold. We were somewhere on the edge of the desert when the Skittles took hold. What is a tweet or some of the work of social media that you've been enjoying oh so glad you asked me this comes from nata fernald n-a-t-e-f-e-r yeah n-a-l-d hi i'm a sound editor for philipman tv it's my job to turn the volume way down when people are talking and then crank it hard when things are
