Starting point is 00:07:56 And then we'll talk about like, there's like this wave of life-size Titanic replicas that keep popping up and they're bad ideas every time, but people still keep trying to make them. Is that just a ship?
Starting point is 00:08:12 A ship. You mean ship-ships? They're building ships? Yeah, but just like with weird ideas. Like, what if you could recreate the terror of that evening? Anyway, talk about it. Talk about it.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Wow. And there might even be a... There might even actually be a talk about it. Talk about it. Wow. And there might even be a there might even actually be a tie-in to crypto with it too. So you know it's going to be good. Of course. And yes, if we have time,
Starting point is 00:08:33 we may be able to talk about some vidya games because Daniel, I know you keep me up. And I saw that Ninja Turtle game is coming out, which I've been waiting for because it's just like
Starting point is 00:08:41 the arcade game, but like turned up for the modern era. Very much so. Modern Eyes okay very modern eyes realize realize we know that but first ashley what is something from your search history that reveals a little bit about something about who you are uh my the most recent thing was joan rivers divorce late night bad um because the latest season the bad at the end is very telling i i love joan rivers as like a female comic i don't know too much about her life but the latest
Starting point is 00:09:19 season of hacks ended and everyone was like oh it's so much about joan rivers's life blah blah blah so i wanted to see like oh is it as bad and messy as on the show? And it turns out it's way worse. It's like way, way worse than on the show. Like the show is so nice and tame compared to what Joan Rivers had to go through, which is that she did not go through a divorce. Her husband just straight up killed himself. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And then left three videos that were like joan here's why i did this no yeah whoa like it was straight up like joan my daughter here are the video like yeah really intense wow and they were like let's make a show about that i mean yeah and she well all right so the thing they pulled from a lot of different characters to make deborah vance but everyone thinks it's mostly Joan. And so this was like breaking down like why it isn't Joan because everyone's like, well, you know, she's not as dark. Like she's more of a Lucille Ball type. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I love when you have to make like make a an exception for the fictional character. Like, hey, don't worry. It's not that bad for this fictional character. Like, hey, don't worry. It's not that bad for this fictional character. Because the real one's way worse. Fuck. Yikes. Now, before you judge fictional character Debra Vance. Exactly. Right, right, right. Oh, man. My favorite thing about Debra Vance though, she got that soda machine
Starting point is 00:10:36 in her kitchen. Oh, yeah. She's an icon. That's like, of all this shit in that show that there is to like, aside from the performances and the writing. Yeah, beautiful. I'm like, aside from the performances and the writing and all that shit, I'm like, man, that fucking, she got a soda fountain in her fucking kitchen. In her kitchen, in her tour bus. She has a Christmas room.
Starting point is 00:10:53 That's when I was like, I want to be her. I would have a Christmas room. You would? Yeah. I love Christmas decorations. I hate having my Christmas decorations in boxes, having to pull them out. Just let me go into a room, pull it all out, get my stuff. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I have Christmas lights up in my window that I rationalize that they're like for mood. Yeah. But really, these are like icicle lights on my window. Yeah. I just like to have. When I was a college student, I also believed Christmas lights were wonderful decor. Who doesn't? I mean, it's like the cheapest thing.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Wait, hold on. How many feet for five bucks? Oh, shit. Tell me you can do the floor. I can do my desk and the floor. You know how many Grey Goose bottles I can light up when I dangle the fucking lights inside? Oh, shit. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Oh, man. Make it real nice for the dates. Yeah. For real. So they know, oh, you had money? I guess. You bought these expensive bottles. You had at least $8.99 to spend at Target.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah. If I add up, okay, so that bottle's like $32.64. Yeah. That adds up. Okay, that's cool. You at one point had $100. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:02 But you have one towel. All right. Cool cool and a half pillow no no pillowcase what's a half pillow uh one you get from an airplane yeah exactly it's the one that's like shaped like your alma mater's mascot and it just says your high school graduation like when you got off etsy you're like this is your pillow yeah Ashley what's something that's overrated oh uh overrated this week honestly I feel like what is overrated right now and I know it's pride month but I'm going rainbows I just feel they feel so overrated to me I I know that it's like it's coming back right now we're supposed to be really into it personally I'm tired I think right now we're supposed to be really into it
Starting point is 00:12:45 personally i'm tired i think as queers we need to embrace something new something more exciting i'm over the rainbow thing maybe just like photos of the universe could represent us just you know like a like a like the black hole like or something from the james webb telescope or something oh yeah yeah next level i just yeah i just feel like uh the rainbow to me feels outdated um i think maybe it's like even a little appropriative of the irish and leprechauns and maybe it's time we address that yeah i i like i like all those ideas is that is there like a feeling that there is any is this like discussed a lot like can we move past the rainbow?
Starting point is 00:13:25 Do we need something new? Honestly, I think that's why we keep seeing so many different like variations. Like I'm like, I'm bisexual. We'll be like, we're going to have our own flag. Like, let us do something else because we're tired of the rainbow. Like allies are making their own flags. I feel like at this point you go to pride
Starting point is 00:13:39 and you see like 20 different groups with their own flags because we're all just tired of the rainbow. Right. And I guess also too, like people don't have to be so i guess tied to one like set of iconography or you know yeah shapes and symbols but yeah personally i think a photo of the spice girls could be a pride flag there you go and i yeah that's exactly that's the kind of freedom i want in my pride month um ashley what's something you think is underrated uh this week underrated i i'm gonna go with cults i feel like cults very underrated lately i i just i feel like we have
Starting point is 00:14:21 like ways where people are very into cults And right now people are missing out on some real good cults. Cause we're just like, they don't care anymore. It was like NXIVM was like the last big cult, you know, that was like the one everyone was like, Oh, we're going to ride the wave. And now there's even better cults and they're just totally under the radar. Like if you're watching the deep end on free form and I'm going to talk about TV cause that's what I do. But the deep end on free form, it is about this woman, Teal Swan swan uh who is a woman cult leader okay equality feminism it's about time
Starting point is 00:14:54 and she is like so powerful that the people who made this documentary about her didn't even want to name her because they were like if it comes out her fans will attack us before this is even out wow and it's like her it's like the teal swan thing she got popular on youtube like it's an online cult basically where people find her through youtube and she basically is like you should kill yourself that's her whole thing is just like suicide is her focus and everyone was saying she was a cult leader so she hired her own PI and team of like documentarians to film her to prove she wasn't a cult leader. But in the process of filming her, the PI and documentarians were like, you're absolutely a cult leader. And so you see the shift in the documentary where she's like, wait a second, they're against me. And she like tries to shut it all down.
Starting point is 00:15:44 documentary where she's like wait a second they're against me and she like tries to shut it all down uh and there's four episodes there were supposed to be 10 but she literally like forced them to stop filming and all this stuff and it's the scariest cult documentary i've ever seen so give it up for women in cults please give them their dues yeah doing it like nobody else yeah wow okay let's stop underrating our cult leaders wild too like yeah and oh there's you watch this there's so much stuff that is wild but the most wild part is that she won't let any female who like lives on the compound have children because she doesn't like to be woken up at 3 a.am by babies crying so literally it's just like they said they're all like we can't have kids because you know they might annoy her that's all it's not
Starting point is 00:16:30 even like some like grand like the reason you don't have kids is because they're draining you of your energy and like even heaven's gate was like we castrate to be closer to the alien gods and though she's just straight up like it's annoying could you yeah oh okay that's so powerful that's so yeah we'd be so wild if we were like jesus why should we not eat uh like cloven hooved animals or whatever and it's like oh uh i just i remember my uncle had this like pig farm and it was just really fucked up I hated being around so I just don't like just don't yeah that's it whatever oh great but then all of her followers are like yeah I agree I told I'm cool with that they're all like I don't yeah no kids yeah babies
Starting point is 00:17:14 are annoying actually yeah they're all just like teal says no babies okay wow and that's the thing like I agreed with her since the beginning because I even before I got here yeah they're so annoying like they're so yeah I don't even know why I said that deal like because i knew i didn't want one anyway yeah so i go watch the the deep end give it up for lady cult leaders yeah and she you know props to teal swan for being very on her google adsense because you google teal swan boom and you have to scroll a you have to scroll halfway down the page to even see anything controversial yeah and teal swan boom and you have to scroll a you have to scroll halfway down the page to even see anything controversial yeah and teal swan has been described as controversial has been described as controversial and received criticism for how she attracts fans that's it yeah that's
Starting point is 00:18:01 that's yeah the documentary like her and her team literally sit there like what ad keyword should we like go for and because she's so popular on youtube like google basically supports her because she made she like sells ads and stuff so they like she like you see her getting all these awards from google that are like oh 1 million followers on youtube congratulations and then it's just really videos where she's like everyone in your life hates you oh my god you should probably like leave your whole family and give me all your money and come live on my compound and if i don't like you kill yourself and babies are annoying and babies are annoying wow okay yeah i'm gonna get into that yeah the deep end okay see this is you have people who watch as much TV critically. You get these

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
Starting point is 00:21:34 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
Starting point is 00:21:58 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.
Starting point is 00:22:18 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.
Starting point is 00:22:35 120. 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.
Starting point is 00:22:50 This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever
Starting point is 00:23:13 you get your podcasts and we're back uh The January 6th hearings. Yeah, so what's up with that? Oh, my good man, Danil. Haven't you heard? This is the... The coup is the word. This was the moment where we got to see the Jan 6th committee finally, you know, do their thing.
Starting point is 00:23:38 I guess the big thing to start off is, right, we saw January, we saw it all in real time. You know? We saw how Trump was trying to overturn the election the second it became clear basically that he had lost like pennsylvania and georgia was like well i don't know what's this like blue shift happening we're like okay we get it yeah and so we've spent the last year or so just thinking of how easily people can like breach the capital and like assault cops and shit when they're on the side of white supremacy and i think a lot of us are like, how can this happen?
Starting point is 00:24:05 I mean, aside from white supremacy, but like, but we have to ask, how, wow, how can we do nothing? And we're at the point now, I guess, as we look at this whole sort of like arc of January 6th, where we're potentially moving into the accountability phase as the committee, you know, kicked off their primetime special on Thursday and pretty well laid out in the sense that they didn't have to do too much speculating and just basically let a bunch of receipts fly. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yeah. It wasn't like, well, what could it have been? They're like, oh, and here's this. Here's that. Yeah. It was kind of like there had to be accountability because there was so much evidence they couldn't ignore it it was just like oh come on you guys you did it right in front of the camera like please you know it's like a thousand hundred thousand cameras everywhere
Starting point is 00:24:55 you go but okay so we heard from like capitol police where they described how violent the whole thing was and how they were knocked unconscious and then like came to and then like had to go back out to try and hold the line they They were people, they were like slipping in blood because of the carnage. Liz Cheney first, like, you know, was saying kind of revealing how much Donald Trump was into the idea of Mike Pence being harmed, which was, I mean, we had obviously heard like from people saying this or that and the others, not necessarily speculating, but saying that this may be part of the testimony. But now to hear it out loud as this, it does kind of feel a lot freakier. You will hear that President Trump was yelling and quote, really angry at advisers who told him he needed to be doing something more.
Starting point is 00:25:43 And aware of the rioters chance to hang mike pence the president responded with this sentiment quote maybe our supporters have the right idea mike pence quote deserves it so there and that was her saying this is who's on the lineup for Coachella. You know what I mean? She's saying, this is what you're going to hear. That wasn't just, that was the teaser. Yeah, that's the opener.
Starting point is 00:26:14 That's just like, yeah. Yeah, and you're like, okay. And again, this isn't like, no one was like surprised, but it's like, okay, yeah. I guess come out with it. We'll see what eventually happens if they refer anybody for like actual prosecution. But anyway, we also heard from Bill Barr, then attorney general, said that he never saw anything that would have amounted to like fraud or that like Dominion voting machines were being controlled by anyone other than the person casting a ballot.
Starting point is 00:26:42 And then they had testimony from other Trump aides who sounded pretty shook, where they're basically talking about the fact that, yeah, you know, we know that this wasn't that he lost. We knew that. In this clip, Miller describes a call between the Trump campaign's internal data expert and President Trump a few days after the 2020 election. I was in the Oval Office and at some point in the conversation, Matt Oskowski, who is the lead data person, was brought on. And I remember he delivered to the president pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose and that was based Mr. Miller on Matt and the data team's assessment of the sort of county by county state by state results as reported correct so you know being I was like yeah i was there and uh when we pulled up and was like
Starting point is 00:27:49 hey yeah yeah that's it it's a big l yeah yeah it's not it's not gonna yeah just so you know sir and then we even got an ivanka appearance a brief ivanka appearance where, you know, a lot of people are like, oh, I wonder if she's going to actually, you know, say that she, you know, believes, you know, what the fuck actually went down that day. And here's this one, which I'm sure Donald Trump loved to hear. This is the president's daughter commenting on Bill Barr's statement that the department found no fraud sufficient to overturn the election. How did that affect your perspective about the election when Attorney General Barr made that statement? It affected my perspective. I respect Attorney General Barr. So I accepted what he said was saying. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:28:48 So, you know, just things that we all suspected, but now we get to hear them out loud and there, it's very hard to spin that. Uh, although many people definitely tried, but it's like, wow, you can hear all these people's voices. Like they know they were trying to do something illegal. You know, it's clear that they weren't all under some like the legitimate belief that they were stopping the steal. Yeah. I just I my favorite part that I loved how you could see through Trump's kids how afraid they are to talk to him directly.
Starting point is 00:29:24 So scary. Like all the words like, oh, my God afraid they are to talk to him directly so scared like all the words like oh my god someone should really talk to daddy and if you could tell him uh not to do this he doesn't listen like they were also he doesn't listen to us like i almost feel like he might not recognize don jr if he walked in the room like probably i'm just curious how you know people have seen like the the kind of like power, quote unquote, that like the president could like wield per se. But I'm just so curious
Starting point is 00:29:51 who really didn't have like, whose job was it to go and deliver this information and was so scared about it? That really does surprise me. It's like, how scary, quote unquote, can a single person be, even despite, regardless regardless of their job that you're just like yeah we're just going to go along with what will ultimately lead to us you know inciting a riot like putting us on a grand jury trial like just because we didn't want to be like hey yeah it's not looking good.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I think, you know, it's half they have, like, plausible deniability. Like, even though I was along for the ride, I knew it was a bad idea. But I think they equally had the same desire to maintain power by any means possible. And they honestly, like I said back then, they were on that, like, they had the star from Mario. They thought they could get away with anything because they were on gassed up on that white supremacy like like yeah what's gonna fucking stop us like we're rolling with the president where we got the president we got rudy giuliani like it yeah it honestly that feels like that's you know that's clearly what it was and i I think to go against it, right, because we're speaking of cults, you start speaking out, then you'll just get purged like many other people have over the years or like people claim to be like a person of, you know, good conscience. But I do want to just mention also, because like we're saying here that they knew what was going on.
Starting point is 00:31:21 This is Liz Cheney talking about the amount of Republicans in Congress who were also looking for fucking pardons right after the 6th. Representative Perry contacted the White House in the weeks after January 6th to seek a presidential pardon. Multiple other Republican congressmen also sought presidential pardons for their roles in attempting to overturn the 2020 election. So, you know, that's what I'm curious about. Like, if we know that that's bad, and then I'm sure they have on wax people being like, hey, you think I'd get one of those pardons real quick? Yes, what's up with those pardons?
Starting point is 00:32:03 There's something up here. I feel like I might be in trouble. Just because a little light treason. Cool treason. Cool insurrection. Yeah. A little pardon. Just a little pardon.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Just a little pardoning. This is just a very, very, I think it's just gross when you just kind of hear about how out in the open it is. I think it's just like gross when you just kind of hear about how out in the open it is. And that's what this like these hearings are going to just show, like just how overt, the math of the electoral college, because if we just had straight up simple majority. This wouldn't have even been a fucking question, but we have this like archaic thing of the electoral college to be like, I don't know, man, you could lose the popular vote and still fucking win. So and that's, you know, I think that's a big issue. But anyway, we're going to say now just just kind of like a very basic question of like what what are we getting out of these hearings other than having this mostly known information be more public per se are we getting potential people you know what's the punishment here well they could they're gonna refer people
Starting point is 00:33:23 to the department of Justice. So, okay. So, it's a, here's all the evidence. Yeah. And maybe something happens out of this. That way, so at the end, and they go, and here's our referral to the Department of Justice. So, you can actually have a, so they can look into you for real criminal shit. Yeah. What irks me, I mean, I shouldn't say irks, but like, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:45 Go ahead. You can use strong language like that. I will be irks. What irks me about this is that ultimately we are leading to basically a proposition of evidence to a group of people
Starting point is 00:33:57 that will then maybe exact justice. But that time in between these two things, in between now when that justice is exacted, like, what does the narrative shift to at that point? Again, in this very bury your head in the sand strategy by the GOP, we enter a time in which, in theory, nothing is going to happen while cases are put together, while evidence
Starting point is 00:34:18 is put together, while lawyers are hired to make the actual trials happen. We enter another time period of narrative shifting of hey look at that they had these hearings and guess what well nothing happened i think the difference being is their first the first versions we saw like impeachment and things like that are political processes right and the department of justice actually has their they they're also investigating january 6th on their own like in a criminal like in the context of a criminal investigation sure so it's like concurrent things happening and who knows the doj might arrive at the same conclusions as well but this is also just to show like that
Starting point is 00:34:57 the work of really the committee is to say this is our analysis of what occurred because we need to a figure out how to make sure this never happens again. Sort of what their stated goal is and to recommend how to prevent that. Barring probably just saying that we need to abolish the Electoral College. But, you know, that might be step one. Sure. And I think like we are going to see a beneficial media shift. I think we are going to see a beneficial media shift. I think there are a lot of moderate Democrats and just moderate people in this country who do not believe that a terrorist attack or seeing this footage, they're seeing this evidence and it's like,
Starting point is 00:35:47 Oh wow. Yeah. You, you can't deny this. Like people who knew this was bad or like it was bad, but really look at how bad it was. Yeah. And like,
Starting point is 00:35:55 that was like Antifa. And you're like, no, that's your go. Yeah. That was you guys. That was, yeah. Like,
Starting point is 00:35:59 and you can hear them like being like, like they played this 10 minute video that was put together uh by this documentarian and director what's his name quested i just want to give his full name shout out to nick quested like who was like with the proud boys and had like some documentary footage with them that's like really incriminating also and was like there like on the cap at the capitol with the proud boys documenting shit side note he was also a music video director like dmx's stop being greedy music video from 1998 uh big timers get your roll on video get your motherfucking roll on yes he directed that video he also directed the G-Depth special delivery video. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:36:48 How do you go from that to hanging I'm going to do a thing with the Proud Boys. Proud Boy documentarian. Dude, and you're like, man, I was the guy making revolutionary videos of kids doing the Harlem Shake. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:37:04 And Trick Daddy, I'm a thug. Baby, because I'm a thug. That guy revolutionary videos of kids doing the harlem shake come on now come on anyway and trick daddy i'm a thug baby because i'm a thug that guy i bet he wasn't shook he was like man i've been he's like i've seen so much shit yeah like at this point he's like i did a dmx video wow okay january 6 nothing this is nothing to me nothing not nearly as many guns so during the hearing they played this 10 minute video that's fucking intense you know like i i remember at the time i was really interested in in what like looking at all ingesting all kinds of fuckery videos from january 6th and then i was like uh kind of it's kind of fucking grim and then they really put out this 10 minute video show like the timeline of president trump like getting the people in a frenzy also then talking about the
Starting point is 00:37:43 moment that mike pence doesn't do the thing that he's supposed to do which is to like throw into question and nullify like the votes to send it back to the states shit and how trump tweeted and how that like got through the crowd and like you know set off all the hang mike pence things and you can like it's really laid out like chronologically and it just a brief like 10 minute thing just to kind of what your whistle and this video was fuck like alarming a ton of body cam footage from police officers where you're seeing like these MAGA people just like trying to just fucking kill them and beat the shit out of them and so while all this was happening right Fox News they told people like
Starting point is 00:38:21 we're not gonna fucking talk about this this don't worry about like it's nothing here's a immigrant caravan you need to worry about which is quite literally what they did and so what they did was they just had tucker carlson he went his he did his whole hour commercial free like we're talking hip-hop radio like they're like we're going commercial free for 60 minutes only on q109 like yeah he was like i don't even want the sponsor money like i will take the l on that throw it all out exactly that's and then like hannity also went a straight hour nothing you know he did fucking, he just had nothing to say except for people to come on and say all kinds of stuff. And throughout
Starting point is 00:39:07 that, all the things you heard, like the kinds of, the thematic sort of bullshit that they were spinning during the hour was, this whole thing is a flop. You don't need to watch it because, like, don't even bother. You know, the Democrats are now, they're trying to change the definition of, like, rioting
Starting point is 00:39:23 was, like, another segment they had trying to debate, to debate like you know but what about 2020 when people were not assaulting the police like that uh if any police were beating the shit out of those people and if anything you're like wait how come the police beat the shit out of those people okay anyway and then there were other things like uh liz cheney is helping democrats go after conservatives like she's a traitor and no and another one was like you know actually no cops even died that day actually it's like they took some of them took their own lives they were so distressed like and don't aren't they supposed to care about the cops don't they like the cops that's the whole like it's that the aren't they at least like the blue lives matter but now they're like not anymore
Starting point is 00:40:05 it shows honestly how fucked like they know how bad it is and how it looks that all they can do is try and be like whatever you do don't look at the documented evidence of what happened just don't look at that at all because they can't say it's fake like that they can't they've that hasn't really been a thing i mean some people can't say like oh it's antifa with mass on no no like these people like they've been identified they've confessed they've all said they follow trump and he asked them to be there like it that that shit is you can't really they're like they found themselves in a really hard position there so i want to show this one moment right so when they were showing this 10 minute video that's like super compelling
Starting point is 00:40:49 just like all this other shit from from january 6th they fox had you know they were playing it live as if they were doing like the like real sincere coverage quote unquote but what they did was they just took a feed of the main chamber where the hearing was happening. And the one that's like trained on the audience, not on the people presenting anything. So you don't see any of those people. You just see the people in the crowd looking towards the camera. It's a super wide shot. And during this time, they're playing this 10 minute video that shows all the darkest stuff. And someone twitter uh at manny fidel did a side-by-side showing that in real time what any normal person would have would have been watching like from the january 6th hearing and what was going on fox and they kind of alternate between the two
Starting point is 00:41:36 so this is the footage that would have been on CNN or any other network. Basically for her entire career and profiting off of it. But also she has to bring up this whole, oh, it must be a big Trump thing. No, it's not a Trump thing. There is the fact of the matter. The only reason that people were there. So that's kind of gives you an idea of the two realities that Fox was just so. I mean, like you're saying, saying actually they're so invested in keeping these people in the dark that they're leaving money on the table yeah like that that's so dark
Starting point is 00:42:10 like how come on yeah it's really wild and like as damning as that is to see it still just strikes me as the kind of evidence that is not going to make it past our own, you know, sidelines. It's going to stay on this side that's like only seeing that content, being like, can you believe they're being brainwashed like this? And it's like, they're never going to see that. Yeah. They're never going to see that. I think so.
Starting point is 00:42:38 The issue here is like that, even like with probably how Democrats think, it's like, well, we got to convince these people. It's like, if they did that shit, then just go handle it. Yeah. Like what? You don't need to you're like well we got to make sure the sentiment is there to enforce the law yeah and i'm not like trying to be like we got we need laws and shit but like this kind of shit is what leads to more suffering for marginalized people when you have this group of people who are like fucking doing everything in their power to fully take over and the stakes there are so high.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Like, why? Why is this like a polling thing? Yeah. And I think with the Democrats, I don't even know that they're fully convinced that MAGA and these people are people that they need to end. Like, I think they see them as a formidable opponent because they know that or they believe they can beat them they're like we may as well keep like encouraging these like fringe weirdos because oh they're easier for us to beat except they don't realize that they're not and they're just making these people seem more legitimate truly yeah it's it's a very it's a
Starting point is 00:43:42 double-edged sword and that's why i think watching all this, you're like, I know how fucking bad it was. You know what I mean? I know that they were all, it's a coordinated effort from people like Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, people in different states, lawyers, all kinds of people were trying to help do this shit. I get that. I don't need like and most people don't need you don't need to explain to the MAGA crew why like, well, and this is why they're in trouble. OK, OK, this is why they're in timeout. Like what? Again, but I think because there's so much capitulation to the right, it's just like just inbuilt into our country because it basically is part of the country. So it's barring a massive identity shift. I think this will continue anyway i just want to also talk about donald trump because after that ivanka stuff and bill barr and all these people just being like no i was like bill barr was like it's bullshit as he said the idea that it was fraud oh shit he trump had a fucking meltdown on clan twitter or their i'm sorry
Starting point is 00:44:42 truth social or whatever they call it and he started off by attacking ivanka's credibility he said you know he's mad if he's attacking this is the way he truth he said quote ivanka trump was not involved in looking at or studying election results she had long since checked out and was in my opinion only trying to be respect respectful to bill barr and his position as attorney general. He sucked. That's in parentheses. He called her by her full Christian name.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Like, is that what he used to do when she wasn't doing the dishes? Ivanka Trump, get in here. And that is his favorite. We all know that much. And he's just like, no, she was checked out. She was a bum. Could you imagine if Donald Jr. has a similar moment and he just goes, that nasty looking freak boy. Ain't nobody like him.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Like not even using his name. We wouldn't even let him in the White House. Yeah. Like, that's your name. That's your fucking juniors. That's your kid. But Ivanka Trump is confused and she was only trying to respect the office but then the thing about the pence stuff where liz cheney was saying that he was
Starting point is 00:45:49 like yeah maybe he deserves to like die or whatever he said quote i never in all caps never never said or even thought of saying wow hang mike pence this is either a made-up story by somebody looking to become a star or fake news the so-called rush on the capitol was not caused by me it was caused by a rigged and stolen election okay he said they're clout chasing yeah i love that yeah you know how you become famous when you say that the president wanted to hang his vice president. Yeah, that's what gets you to the top of the charts. That's what gets you all the Twitter followers.
Starting point is 00:46:32 We get it. TikTok dance. Yeah, exactly. Be a whistleblower for an attempted coup. Sick spawn con after, we all know. And an E-series. We get it. We see this a hundred times like exactly okay get in line buddy it's like more predictable than going on the bachelor we get it yeah we know
Starting point is 00:46:53 you're a whistleblower for a coup i wish people were famous for something these days you know what i mean mattress that's all i want rather than clout chasing on our good, on our good 45th president's name. Like, really? So, yes, that's, uh, it, that's kind of like the stakes right now. If you go on Fox news today or this morning, you'll see. They're saying everything by January 6th. Every, they're, they're trying to talk. They're talking so much about Britney Spears wedding right now.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Oh yeah. Ridiculous. Like their Fox news is desperately looking for anything else they can cover anything else yeah they can they'll be like oh uh there's a sale at cole's actually yeah uh like what like did they even buy ads they're like no i'm just looking through some emails i got in my promotions for yeah literally like the headline right now is like joe biden went on a late night show and laughed. Gas is six dollars. What's he laughing about?
Starting point is 00:47:48 Is that really what it is? Yeah. It's like Joe Biden's desperate. He's laughing on late night TV. The other one, Jesse Waters was like, Joe Biden sent that man to Brett Kavanaugh's house, I think. And it's like, wow, it's wild. So this is the state of america like we said kuchela night two probably more receipts will be raining down from the sky hopefully so tune in or don't just

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball
Starting point is 00:50:44 just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? 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.
Starting point is 00:51:03 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

Starting point is 00:51:35 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.
Starting point is 00:51:51 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?
Starting point is 00:52:07 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.

Starting point is 00:52:34 And we're back. And let's talk Titanic life-size replicas. Yeah, I'm real curious about this one. Me too, yeah. Speaking of disasters. Yeah. First of all, what's everybody's feet?
Starting point is 00:52:48 Are y'all Titanic lovers, haters, or like, are you pro Titanic or against, um, pro or anti Titanic? Yeah. You know, uh,
Starting point is 00:52:57 the, the Titanic, a lot of hubris couldn't support that. Yeah. I mean, like I obviously as a kid, I was a kid when the movie came out. I was obsessed with it.
Starting point is 00:53:07 I like that was, I think, for me and most people my age maybe was when we realized like, oh, bad things happen. Like God let all these people on a boat die and Leonardo DiCaprio sank. And what? You know, so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like the end of my youth, I guess.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Right. What about you, Daniel? My connection to Titanic is I saw it similarly as a child and was like, movie, heck yeah. And then my later connection to it is that I came downstairs when I was still living at home and my father was watching Titanic, saw me walked in, turned it off. And then I was like, what are you watching? He's like, I don't know, I'm just flipping through. And I left the room for a snack came back watching titanic again crying and i was like it's okay dad it's okay he was like yeah i just decided to keep watching titanic is that when fabrizio got shot yeah i think so oh yeah did he die did he fall off the side anyway it's one or the other oh he does fall off the side and like the thing the tower like crashes on him but i think he also does get shot so another
Starting point is 00:54:09 guy gets shot he gets mad i think he yells at him in italian for shooting yeah i used to work with that guy's sister danny lucci you always have a connect the classic meme of the show miles is yo i'm always i'm like two degrees away from fucking anybody everybody but the yeah titanic for me i i think i like the spectacle of it when it came out because at the time like the amount of you know uh expense that was no expense was spared by james cameron to make it and i think that was like the the big thing that like kind of set it aside since then I haven't really watched it in its entirety for maybe like 15 years probably but I always
Starting point is 00:54:49 bummed me out that old couple who dying they got to die together in the bed rushing through underneath them so sad that's how I'd want to go I guess I mean I would be like we could be fucking at least like why are we just gonna lay here doing nothing that's yeah and that's what she's like it takes a while she's like what you mean you can't get hard right now yeah oh impotent head ass like
Starting point is 00:55:11 please we're gonna die this is how we're going out could you imagine that's the last argument they were at she's like i'm trying to get mine you're the one who wanted to even go on this damn boat now you can't even get hard wow should have never listened all over again come on uh anyway so back to titanic size life-size replicas there are a lot of people who are loving a titanic uh just gigantic replica one of the latest things our writer j JM, is letting us know in Halifax, I believe Nova Scotia, there is this thing called the Titanic Experience that is going to include a, like,
Starting point is 00:55:51 two-scale replica of the ship that also is a hotel. So you could eat there. You could sleep there. You can maybe fuck in an old Studebaker and, you know, draw on,
Starting point is 00:56:03 like, the windows because you make it all foggy and shit, just like the movie. Then there will also be, quote, escape hatches, virtual reality rooms, and a hologram cinema. And they're saying this is a $300 million project that they're trying to get off the ground. Whoa. That sounds like a lot. And also, why Halifax?
Starting point is 00:56:24 Oh, why thank you for asking. Why Halifax, of all places? Certainly, I'm sure it's a beautiful reason, like a wonderful tourist destination, something. Yeah. You'd love to know that for all the broke asses that died when their bodies came back, they were just buried in Halifax. The wealthier people had their bodies taken to other graveyards. But those who are not
Starting point is 00:56:45 wealthy enough to be moved when their bodies were recovered, they just they just are they're chilling. Their bodies are in Halifax. They rest in Halifax. Wow. So this is an attraction to their death on their grave. I mean, not I don't know how close it is, but it's sort of like, I mean, while you're in town i mean yeah you i would hope it's close i'm not paying that much money to stay at the titanic hotel and then i gotta travel like what 40 minutes to go to the graves yeah that better be close okay there better be a shuttle okay better be a shuttle it better be an exciting adventure when i'm dancing on the graves of these people yeah well like i the the Chicago field museum actually did a thing like this forever ago where
Starting point is 00:57:28 like they recreated the Titanic. And when you got there, you were assigned as like a person who was on the boat. And at the end you found out if you lived or died and if you were poor, like rich. And if you were poor, like you like got to sleep in one of the tiny cabins and see how like claustrophobic it was.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Yeah. I was a girl who died at the end so i'm sure she's probably in halifax yeah she was broke as hell broke as hell broke little orphan girl who somehow got on that boat the broke orphan girl who was high as fuck on the titanic just be like whoa that's cap Oh, man. Fuck. That's Cap. So, Halifax, wonderful place to go if you're in a Titanic. Apparently, the people who are laid to rest there,
Starting point is 00:58:20 they just have simple gray headstones that was paid for the cruise line that killed them. So, this project, I think, you know know seems like a bad idea to most people again not sure what the draw is for something uh of that scale but also the fact that like this is in a long line of projects of people trying to build like to scale titanic ships and like creating some kind of like fucking tourist attraction there was an australian guy who said he was he was gonna build titanic 2 icebergaloo and uh working cruise ship like basically a full-on cruise ship made exactly another person to scale man it's the exact fucking thing you're gonna fucking love it right it's the titanic turi uh yeah i had to had to go there and i mean but but again it never materialized
Starting point is 00:59:08 because who what the fuck who are these people just like yeah the hop aboard 9-11 airlines yeah love to come aboard love to have you then there was this chinese company building another to scale titanic fucking replica as a tourist attraction but this one was permanently docked at a reservoir and this ship was also see they didn't want to just say this ain't just some stagnant ship in a reservoir we're also gonna have an iceberg along with a hit the iceberg experience that would simulate the collision. I'm getting on the Titanic. I want the hit the iceberg experience. Exactly. Otherwise, you're just on
Starting point is 00:59:50 any other boat, right? Then you're on the Queen Mary, right? And then it doesn't matter in Long Beach. But so their whole thing was it would simulate the collision. Then all these effects that would make people feel like, oh, I'm on a sinking cruise ship in the middle of the Arctic Sea or wherever the fuck that was.
Starting point is 01:00:07 My favorite way to vacation. Yeah. But apparently when people heard about this, naturally they were just shocked and horrified. The families of victims and like other historical societies are like, why the fuck would you do this? Like, why? Please. And so they stopped that idea they wanted out of respect they said look we're not going to do that idea but then in 2018 the developer was like i still
Starting point is 01:00:33 want to do it i'm just not going to call it hitting the iceberg hell yeah right i was just like i mean go i just want to change the name guys like what that's the problem right the name right yeah it's not just.
