Oh, yeah, it was bad for the streets Oh, yeah, it was I remember the blood in the streets that year in 72

But I just remember it up though. It was one of those, it was one of those things, I think I only remember it because it felt like, like the videos you would watch on a rainy day at school, like it would be on the cart and they'd be like, all right, we've got Goonies, Apple Dumpling Gang, or the second tape from Roots. And we're like, all right, Goonies, I guess. And I was like, what the fuck is Apple Dumpling Gang?

You know what I mean? I do read for the little rascals. They were all like, you know about the curse? No. How about the evil in the show? Like, oh God, yeah. Bad things happen to like all, almost all of them. I think it's kind of like, not so much that it's a curse is that they were all child actors at a time when there was zero accountability for powerful people.

Yeah. Yeah. And then invented the law. Yeah. One of them, Jackie Kugin, they like invented the law to protect child actors because of him. That's why you need a Kugogan account to make money as a child actor. Wow. Yeah, he's a little rascal and then he became Uncle Fester. Oh shit, he was on your way. He was yo hold on. So this is the kind of way this is contemporary gossip I bring to what the fuck did you just

say he was uncle? Which which rascal was he? He was like a like a lesser rascal. OK, you know, slimy or something. You know, slimy, the Irish one. You're like, he's also the kid in Charlie Chaplin's The Kid. Oh, maybe that's what I'm thinking. Maybe he wasn't even a little rascal

and I am feeding you false information, but he was. Oh no, okay. Yeah, no, you're right. He was a little rascal. He was not a rascal, it turns out. Was a little rascal, but just in the full appeal sense. He was a little rascal. Yeah.

A little fucking rascal. And there is the problem. I couldn't even stop myself from saying fuck in front of this child. Yeah, well, they're rascals That's what they do. Yeah, exactly. So fuck them. Let's get go back in on this. Um, all right, Molly We're thrilled to have you here. We're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first We're gonna tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today We're talking about Laura Loomer being a problem for Trump allies

and Trump supporters. Allegedly, we'll see. You know, Trump doesn't seem to be too worried about her presence around his campaign. But no, he seems quite excited. The others seem okay with it. Talk about Eric Adams just generally killing it his His mayoral office is falling apart around him But we'll we'll also talk about this news story about a shooting I'll just read NYPD officer three others shot during showdown with armed fair beater at Brooklyn L Subway station you're never gonna guess who did the shooting guys it's not what that headline would know no we'll talk about MTG we'll talk about of course we don't like to

acknowledge other podcasts on the show we're insecure yeah I will acknowledge a good podcast for children about bugs because there's very little overlap. You're like, dude, there's shit in there for us too though, dude. It's actually like really smart and like- Three billion bugs, dude, flying overhead. I have the mind of a child.

I want- No, that is a mind blowing fact. That is a mind blowing fact. And thank you, Miles. But so there is a podcast that's coming for us and we're a little worried about it. So we just want to get ahead of it and tell you why it's no good. It is, of course, the no such podcast, which is a cute title for the NSA's official podcast. There they launched a podcast is called No Such Podcast.

It ran out. Yeah, it's launched, baby. It's out. And it's well, I guess that means I didn't get the job. Yeah. Well, actually, you had to. They kept it internal for some reason. So you had to work for that essay to even like work on or host this show.

So did Wanda Sykes? Is Wanda Sykes hosting? Can't be a one-time NSA analyst. It has to be an active NSA analyst. Wanda would have been great. Internal talent search. Can you imagine? The whole thing just reads like a fucking corporate communication from HR, but The whole thing just reads like a fucking corporate communication from HR, but it is pretty wild that they've stooped to our level and that they... Budget cuts, man. The reason why, yeah, it's budget cuts and it's something else. They're kind of victims of their own success in a way. We'll talk about that, plenty more. But but first Molly Lambert, we do like to

ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Oh God, I didn't think about it this time. How amazing. Last time I looked, the Molly Lambert. Find it, find it, find it, find it, find it. You want to come back in and we'll do underrated, overrated? No, no, she's looking. Oh, you thought you think I came with an underrated, overrated?

I'm asking chat GPT right now. Oh, I was reading, okay, I was reading about Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro getting in a fistfight. Yo, what happened? Yeah. They just announced the tour is canceled, the world tour. Okay. So for people who don't know, like over the weekend, there was a clip of Perry Farrell

like mid song marching up to Dave Navarro, like pushing him and then like having like the most extreme locked up like anger face and then started really getting in his face and then crew came out of the wings to like separate them. Dave Navarro puts his guitar down. guitar down like, I'm fucking off this. And I know as a band, they've all like, there's so much infighting in Jane's Addiction. Is who we're talking to? Talking about, of course. Wait, so then what? I'm not a Jane's Addiction fan at all, but I am fascinated by interband fights. Yeah. Yeah. Anything, is there anything? Do we know anything?

Yeah, it sounds like they did. And they just put out a statement today that the tour is canceled now. No, but like what it was over, like is it just cause Perry Farrell like obviously he's struck drugs? Oh, it's because Perry Farrell was drunk. He was drunk.

Oh, he was drunk. He's apparently getting really drunk on the tour and like rambling into the mic. And so he was really drunk, was like going off on some monologue. And then Dave Navarro started playing guitar to kind of be like, hey, back to the music that we are playing.

And Perry Currell got so mad. I'm watching my political campaign here, Dave. Holy shit. He's like, no soap boxing, Perry. We talked about this. Yeah, Perry Currell came over. Got in his face, bro. That look in his face was wild. Dave Navarro seems like he's dealt with a lot of big personalities in his life.

Yeah. You know? To say the least. I mean, the shit is like, the fight is, yeah, he looks like an elderly drunk man, you know, Perifero. Yeah. Like the way he's coming at an Adam kind of like has his chest up. You know, when people like talk about getting your chest up, you don't really actually see people do that until this video.

But you like really like sticks his chest out like, yeah, it looks like it's like a pigeon. Yeah, yeah. It looks like a pigeon trying to fight another pigeon. Dave Nevarro's is like, oh, man, he fucking he's got that well-worn of this fucking guy attitude. This made me think of an underrated, overrated, underrated. And I knew you would. Underrated possums. Underrated possums. Underrated possums. Oh, fuck. Yeah, I love that.

Go on. I've been just seeing possums a lot recently and being like, wow, they are cool. That's it. Hey, you know what? They are cool. They're cool by me. They're cool by me. I like dropped some fruit in my yard and one like truly came out of a bush and like took the fruit and then like disappeared back into the bush. And I was like, wow. And you could choose to be completely freaked out by that or a okay with it and I love that you chose an a okay. You know I was a okay with that okay that's what I'm saying it's like we're freaked out by possums overrated squirrels why are squirrels okay possums everybody's yes why are squirrels like oh cute

yeah that's right uh miles i'm actually reading from the terminix page uh if you've recently come across a possum uh rabies might be on your mind these scavengers are notorious for going through garbage blah blah blah um any mammal can get rabies but generally okay rare but it's very rare for them. Yeah, because they have such low body temperature. Look, you know, prepared. My mom is a card carrying member, like literally of like the American opossum society, because she fucking I'm not joking, ride or die. I thought you said you thought possums are cool because maybe you caught it reading like a Eve Babbitt's book or something.

You're like, you know, I've kind of fuck with that possum. She got the possum together. I think there there's the one that lives in my yard is like so big. I can't believe it. Oh yeah. Yeah. I've seen one walk across my yard that is like having trouble. Like it's having great success in the food chain. Eating it is eat.. It's just eating. It is out here eating, girl.

Right, right. That's what I mean. For something that's sort of blind and kind of big. Looks blind as hell. Even if it's not blind, that shit looks blind as hell. Well, it's because their sounds are all fucked up because they literally lead with their face into untold danger because they're like what's going on and they're like Like they're weird pointy faces look like that from Beetlejuice. Yeah

That's when Alec Baldwin does his like stretched out face. Yeah Just being Alec Baldwin And then squirrels yeah, they're not native like they 100 years ago. Oh, easy, Jack. I'm just saying they don't belong here. No. Are you a birther? I just remember squirrels hearing a podcast where they were like, yeah, there were no squirrels in cities

along it like very recently. And like if you took somebody from the past to the present, the first thing they'd notice is they'd be like, wow, what the fuck? Wait, so where did they come from? But they'd also be like, where did all the rats go? Yeah, exactly. Why don't you all have rats on your shoulders? Yeah. Why did the rats that, you know,

populate every city and run through the streets at night? Where they go? Yeah. One of the scariest things that you can have, one of the scariest animal interactions you can have is when a squirrel comes at you instead of running away, when it's just like, nah, I don't do it. I actually, this is a lot about you, bro. They pull up on you like that. Yeah. They don't respect. No, that's my space. That's why I'm going to say they're overrated. Starting ship with a constantly. They can tell you don't respect them, so they're

getting up in your face. Wait, so where does this thing about they're not from? I'm reading about native squirrel species to California. Wait, what are we talking about? Squirrels were purposely introduced to American cities. I see. To do what? According to National Geographic,

those nutty neighbors were once seen as a benefit to urban living. I don't know why because this is behind a paywall, but National Geographic. So the knowledge ends there. Yeah. because this is behind a paywall, but national geographic. So the knowledge ends there. Yeah. Why were squirrels introduced to cities? Urban reformers who thought of the squirrel

as a rural mascot wanted to bring the animal into places like Manhattan Central Park in order to create a bucolic atmosphere that was entertaining and lightening and a-up word, salubrious. In 1847, three squirrels were released in Philadelphia's Franklin Square Park and the rest is history. The rest is fucking history. Oh, okay. So I get, okay. So that seems maybe more of like an East coast thing because I'm like, there's, I see like two types of squirrels like gray squirrels and like brown ground squirrels all the time. Oh yeah. In LA. They are thriving and they want me to know it. And they love to store those fucking acorns in the weirdest spots.

Now we had a squirrel get loose in my house and like it's a squirrel that lives in our backyard and is just you know not scared of anybody in our household at this point is just like so and It was it was very good experience. I just we left the back door open and he ran out but he at one point like was standing on a On the dinner table just like looking at everyone and then Fucking terrifying. Yeah. I think their lack of fear of humans freaks me out. Like possums, no. Possums are just like,

like if you see a possum and it clocks that you see it, it's kind of like, no, you didn't. Like, yeah, it'll be like, no, I'm dead. Stop looking at me, I'm hideous. I'm actually dead. I'm actually dead. I'm not here. Scrolls do the thing where they like make full eye contact and they're like, yeah, that's right. I'm eating your food. And on their hind legs and shit, they're like, what's up, mother fucker.

Which I respect. They're going to do shit. No, don't run. They're going to do shit. Frank the Rosary. Squirrels going to steal your lunch money. Yeah. Steal your girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah, Mr. Steal Your Squirrel. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

That's what that means and with a plum yeah Plum like a squirrel so Donald Trump and Laura Loomer suddenly in separate bowl and She so Laura Loomer I

Had trouble if I'm being honest. I had trouble differentiating between Laura Loomer and other right wing, like who's the Colorado one? Bobert. Bobert. I had trouble like, you know, even though she's like an elected official. I know. They've all got funny names.

Yes. Loomer, Bobert. Hey, Bober, Loomer. Yeah, I get it. But Laura Loomer is the most mask off racist of them all. Yeah, they all seem like they're the villain in the Apple dumpling gang. Oh, yeah, I could definitely see that. Oh, man, don't go against them.

I mean, yeah. So she's been around Trump a lot. Apparently, Trump has tried to hire her in the past. All the campaign officials are like, absolutely fucking no way you can have this person near the campaign it's gonna it's gonna be all bad news but apparently he's getting his way because like no i want her as much as part of my crew even though she has like no i guess as i say there's no official unofficial role she's just a travel person like someone who travels with the president that's kind of her position but recently she's been making things very, very hot because she's so visible with Trump.

A lot of people are like, yo, what the fuck is she, what kind of wild ass shit is she tweeting? Like for example, she was talking about how like if Kamala Harris is voted into the White House, the White House will smell like curry. And everyone's like, Jesus fucking Christ. Which is a good thing by the way. but that that's not she also goes further and

Says horrible thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean she has all kinds of fucked it So when she said that like it's interesting to see how certain Republicans came out and they're like, ah, come on We've Laura Lumer. You can't do that like Marjorie Taylor. Now they're gonna know we're racist Yeah, and I was like Marjorie Taylor green needs to fall all the way back because you dabble in this shit, too You're just mad that Laura Loomer is now the person who's truly sitting at the right hand of the maga throne at the moment Or at least visibly it seems that way and has Trump's ear But yeah, it's just been a whole bunch of denials of like, we don't know her, she's bad, she needs to get away. And then her clapping back at people like Marjorie Taylor

Green being like, you're like you cheated on your husband. I think she called her a hooker or something. She's told was questioning Lindsey Graham's sexuality. I think she called him closeted gay or something. It was all just a whole moment of chaos They like journalists asked the Trump camp like yo What's your take on her beefing with people who are like allies of yours like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lindsey Graham? And they're like, we're gonna we don't we're we're staying out of it and it's like, oh, I wonder if Trump Oh that they I that sounds like something like don't don't weigh in on that Let her do a thing. Shut the fuck up about you know what happens. You know, it's good for you. Yeah I just like people are speculating like Milo.

Yiannopoulos was like I heard she said that or that Trump said it was the best blow job he ever had. Like it overestimates how difficult this man is to manipulate. Like all it takes is flattery. Like just someone who is willing to stand around him and tell him that what he's saying is smart and right and like tell him what he wants to hear. Yeah. If you're good at pretending someone just said some mind blowing shit, you could ascend the magnet movement pretty quickly. Like, yo, what did you just say, Donald? I'm

sorry, Mr. President, that was that was so genius. I can't believe you were even able to articulate something like that. Also, they really think that? They really think what? That Trump is like killing it with his thoughts. I think some do and I think other people are just purely driven by the grift that, you know, they just they just adapt to their surroundings and just know how to mirror and do whatever they want.

Well, it seems like everyone in politics is driven by the grift. That's why it is also like people seem like their opinions are whoever's paying them. Yeah, I think she's, I don't think she is some cunning manipulator, by the way. I think that, like she's been saying, she's called herself a white advocate behind the scenes. Like, or she's called herself openly a white advocate. A white advocate?

A white advocate. Such a weird way to say white advocate? A white advocate. Such a weird way to say it. Think you're racist. I'm a racist, yeah. I advocate for whites. Yeah, she's like just a hardcore right-wing white supremacist and her only focus for the past like number of years has been like, did you read that there? I was trying to find this profile, Molly, maybe as someone who reads magazine

profiles every once in a while, did you read the profile of her where she is? It's just like behind the scenes with her and all she's doing is trying to like get a meeting, like get on his calendar. No, I actually don't read profiles. I just, I just write them. You just write them. Good. And it shows your profiles are way better than everyone else's.

She's got, it's crazy to me too, though, like the white, the vocal white supremacists always look like they were forgotten by God. Like, Forgotten by God. It's always like the, like, you're like, you're supposed to, people are supposed to be like you? You want people to look like you and act like you? Like you seem. Hate does some, I just think hate does a number on you.

You know what I mean? Or maybe they- It's just crazy. If I were so unbaked, I'd be like, maybe white people not the best. Yeah. So I think it's just her time has come because all the people who surround Trump right now, who are whose full time job it is to tell him what to do, are telling him to stop doing what he's doing. And so he needs to find someone who's going to stand beside him and be like, actually,

you're killing it. Oh, let's bring, let's bring Steve Bannon back. Yeah, but I think the old gang, I think Steve Bannon even would be like, not quite. No, it seems like you have to be a certain type of sycophant. Yeah, to be, you know, who you can't ever contradict him and tell him, oh, maybe that's not a great idea. It's like, you gotta be, Trump likes a yes, a yes man or woman. Yeah. Yeah.

All you have to do is just keep it, like you just have to indulge the ideas. The second you present an obstacle, that's when he's like, look at this, fuck, they're saying I shouldn't be saying racism out loud. And then if you're like, no, babe, you should be saying racism. That's actually how you're gonna win people if you're like, no, babe, you should be saying racism That's actually how you're gonna win people is like exactly. That's why I like you. Thank you loomer

It's just whoever lines up with what his instincts are telling him to do at that moment I feel like if he gets reelected the form like the people who are going to write the best content about like what his the people who are going to write the best content about like what his next administration is going to be like are like the experts in Louis the 14th, like royal court, you know, like Cardinal Risha Lou type shit straight like experts in royal court intrigue because that just feels like what we already have going. Yeah, she's yeah, like, like you said, her 9-11 truth or shit, she said, she said, this is a quote,

Kamala is a quote, drug-using prostitute, and also say, quote, I'm willing to bet she's had so many abortions that she damaged her uterus in terms of an explanation why she doesn't have biological children. So that's where she's at. And again, the quote about this, what the White House smelling like curry this race is bullshit. So JD Vance, right? His wife

Usha is also Indian American. He was pressed about this recently on Sunday, like, hey, you know, like your fucking boss is like best friend, you know, travel partners saying some pretty flagrant shit. Any comment about this? And here JD Vance, like as usual, like clockwork, absolutely fails the moment to be able to maybe defend, I don't know, his wife's dignity, his family's dignity, just not completely, you know, cape for racist comments. But here he is being pressed about that specific tweet that Laura Loomer sent. She recently said that Kamala Harris, whose mother was Indian, if she wins in November,

quote, the White House will smell like curry. Senator, you are married to an Indian American woman. What was your reaction to hearing those comments specifically? Geez, just that setup makes me so nervous because I'm like, you know, he's not gonna fucking nail this right now Like your own wife the mother of your children. This is someone describing disrespectfully talking about her culture What is your answer to this JD? Take it away? Well, Kristen, I want to go back to what you said about Haitian migrants to begin with because you didn't give me a chance.

Okay, we don't blame the Haitian migrants for coming to Springfield. We blame Kamala Harris for opening the American southern border. I'm 20,000 people to get ahead. Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. She said something about curry in the White House that I first read about this morning actually because I knew that you would ask me about it. Look, Kristen, I make a mean chicken curry. I don't think that insulting for anybody to talk about their dietary preferences or what they want to do in the White House. I think what Laura said about Kamala Harris

is not what we should be focused on. We should be focused on the policy and on the issues. And look, so yeah, do I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I don't I also don't think that this is actually an issue of national import is Laura Loomer running for president No, Kamala Harris is running for president and whether you're eating curry at your chicken at your dinner table or fried chicken Wait, what things have gotten more more expensive thanks to her policies. Let's talk about this. We said fried chicken. Get the fuck out of here, JD.

What? Every time you know, every time you talk, I hear the Benny Hill music in the background. It's just like, yeah, right. He cannot. He cannot nail it. No. Was that is that is that what he was trying to say there?

Like he's being double racist. Yeah, just doubling, tripling down on the race or fried chicken. So get it. What's up, racist? He was like, no, no, no, we don't hurry. We don't have racist opinions about food. Oh, wait, no, we don't hurry. We don't have racist opinions about food. Oh wait. No, we have double down Double down racism. Yeah Double down racism

New at kfc. Um, what's that marriage like i'm still wondering what is happening? What's over under on usha vance filing for divorce? I think she you know, look a lot of people have said, but I think she might be exactly where she wants to be. You know? Sure. Like women can be evil too, guys. Women can be evil and racist and self-hating. No, no, absolutely.

I'm just thinking, cause like, it's funny, cause when you're like the profiles about their life before was sort of like, she didn't necessarily wasn't interested in dabbling in the, in national politics because of the scrutiny. And I just feel like at that point, I'm like, cause I can empathize with someone who's, you know, just in terms of being like, okay, this person's into politics. Like, please don't like make me get out there and have to like glad hand with people.

And now you do. I'm just wondering what that's like, because also he's also just, we've seen in the other clips too, the second he has to answer for something he wants to do. He just like wiggles out of it like a fucking bratty kid. Also, is he always coming to us from China? Like, why is he always on the longest tape delay? Like every time he's asked a question, there is five seconds of dead air. Like, is that just him?

I'm like, yeah, theuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh eyeliner. I don't think it's eyeliner. I think he has gorgeous eyelashes. You know what I mean? Also his other way of wiggling out is always, I just read about that like right before I came on here. So like, yeah, yeah, I'm not up on things because I'm a busy boy and I don't read no, I don't read the damn newspaper. Yeah, she's gonna, in the hollow. In the hollow, we didn't have no newspapers. No, but he would be like, in the hollows. But yeah, that is a good point. I just read it and I don't know,

even if you said out loud to me that sentence, I need more time to process if it's bad. So I can't really give you an answer. I don't know on its face that that is bad. Cause hey, I make a mean chicken curry You know, he should have stopped after I make a mean chicken curry Yeah, I think he's I think that's his big problem is he doesn't know when to stop So he keeps talking and then he always little soups on of extra racism at the end

Yeah, right little sprinkle as a topper. He, uh, he is also historic, like all polling, everything. Anytime someone is asked what they think of him, they like, there's a new category in the polling, like next to favorable, unfavorable is just like spits on the ground where they're standing like that. And that seems to be the largest contingent. Like people hate him so much. It's kind of wild. Like I just spit on the ground. I don't like him either.

But like he is so hated, like at a historic level. Do you think he's helping Trump by being so much worse at doing the thing Trump does? Then it's not like it's not even like like comparable, like where he shifts the Overton window where it's like, well, at least he's not as bad as what J.D. Vance is saying. It's like he's just like comparable, like where he shifts the Overton window, where it's like, well, at least he's not as bad as what JD Vance is saying. It's like, he's just like overall,

you can't believe he comes off so insincere. He's like has no sense of humor. He doesn't know how to interact normally that you're just like, dude, this looks like one of those dudes I just don't fucking trust or want to be around. So I don't know if it helps. But again, because it's obviously the play there was to try and bring like Silicon Valley more in alignment with the GOP by bringing him in. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know how any of this is actually panning out at this point.

Yeah. I did do a hillbilly elegy costume for Halloween a few years ago when the movie came out. How was it? What'd you go with? I didn't see the movie. I just addressed his Amy Adams in some overalls Nice, you're like, all right. Yep. I'm having that I was like, yeah, I could do that my friend

Justine was Glenn Glenn Close as as mama. Oh my god I'm just now realizing how bad the fucking couch costumes are gonna be this year. Oh no Yeah, just like glove to couch cushions. That's all you need. The urge. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Do do what you need to do, I guess.

I'm like, I'm like feverishly like now panning my costume. My house is like just pans to a couch costume. He's been working on those. I don't know, dude. Some fucking guy is like been working on those. I don't know dude Some fucking guy is like making this for me. I don't know. It's like I don't like it Why are you nailing rivet? Don't worry about it To fold out it's tough did all right Eric Adams. We just wanted to check in with him

Yeah, he tweeted earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now. We have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery. The New York Daily News also had the story, NYPD officer, three others shot during showdown

with armed fair beater at Brooklyn L subway station and then just moving a little bit further down. So that was 19 hours ago, 10 hours ago, ABC reported NYPD says officer shot in friendly fire as police saw do fair evader. Someone who's trying to get a free subway ride and they just opened fire on a group of people on a subway Platform and many were struck Yeah, man had his head fucking grazed by a bullet and another woman got shot in the leg Then a cop got shot because of all the fucking friendly fire

Are there just the amount of bullets that were flying and then the suspect was shot in the stomach a bunch of times and apparently everyone is meant to recover but all that for what a $2.90 fare. Yeah, that's right. The officer in question was shot by the readers added context, which is yes, the X despite itself. This is like the officers in question was shot by a fellow NYPD officer. NYPD officers also shot two bystanders and the fare evasion suspect. Yep. Got him. Got him. Yeah. There's a reason Keystone cops don't have guns. Like, you know, if they did, it would have been... They would kill the little rascals.

They would be killing so many little rascals all the time. Yeah. But yeah, there's a reason they only had little like nightsticks that they waggled around at people because, uh, that's really what this feels like at this point. Yeah. And just this whole fair evasion policy, like what, what good is it doing you? Like, okay, we have a zero tolerance fair evasion.

Yeah. That that like, cause first they tried to tase the guy and that didn't work. And like just the escalation of, and then he he I guess he brandished a knife and that's like alright that's it everybody's getting hit on this platform. Sorry there's nothing we can do. Yeah we have to turn this person who's a threat to himself and somebody within like seven feet we have to turn it into a live-fire situation that is a risk to him and everyone else who happens to not be standing behind a metal barrier at this point. And just a couple months ago, people were like, you know, the conservatives

like we need more. We need a national guard on the in like the subway systems of New York because it's becoming so dangerous. There's like armed people. And then meanwhile, the you're this fucking incident is really at the hands of the NYPD. But yes, great system. But yeah, that his whole administration is in absolute. Just disintegrating. It's falling apart around him like a Boeing 737 being flown by Wiley Coyote. Oh, whoa, babe. OK, babe. Yeah, there are two of his top officials have resigned over the weekend.

One was expected the New York police chief, I think, Yeah, there are two of his top officials have resigned over the weekend. One was expected the New York police chief, I think, and the police commissioner. And then the other was his like chief legal advisor who resigned just because she was like, I can't with this fucking guy thing, you know, which is always a good sign. So more to come on Eric Adams, who has superpowers. Watch this. Watch this space. Should we take another quick break and come back and talk about the only other podcast that we're aware of besides our own? Yeah. All right. We'll be right back.

But in a new hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share with the science really shows

that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki, It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. we'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume.

MUSIC I'm Kari 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 to history.

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. 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,

iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. The black effect podcast network is sponsored by diet Coke. And we're back. We're back. And a few weeks ago, the NSA officially launched a podcast called, and this is cute. Okay. It's cute. I'm just letting you know ahead of time.

So if you feel weird or like a creepy, like chill come over you, you shouldn't because it's just cute. The podcast is called No Such Podcast, which is a cheeky reference to the fact that the NSA went under the name No Such Agency back when it was classified because it worked better when nobody knows it exists and that's how you know what they're doing is good.

And they've so they've gone from hiding their existence to producing content for people to listen to while they're doing the dishes and being like kind of Spicy and self-referential about it. Mmm. I love that. I love that I love you and what so what's the podcast about just like the hottest trends in mass surveillance? Yeah, basically It sounds like a very compelling Listen, first of all, they did an internal talent search for employees with broadcasting skills, which I'm pretty sure meant that they just eavesdropped

on all their employees and like picked the ones who were the most entertaining. They're like, we've been watching you, watching you through Zooms. Yeah, we've seen your Twitch streams, man. Even though you got a mask on, we know it's you, man. We love, we think those voices, they've seen your Twitch streams, man. Even though you got a mask on, we know it's you, man. We love, we think those voices, they might work really good on our podcast.

Think about it. Um, I just want to read the, in the very first episode, guest speaker, Natalie Lang, the NSA's director of operations speaks at length about how the NSA limits itself to information relevant to national security and similar imperatives. A quote, compliance is our number one of focus, she says. It just, that sounds so much like a corporate communication to employees. Like, yeah, that's so boring. Like, it speaks at length about how the NSA limits itself to information relevant. Like we get it like, dude, we're not like listening to everything.

We do a really good job, like just edging full blown invasion of privacy. What the fuck is that? But to the earlier point about how they probably were just listening in on their employees, you have to assume like the NSA is out here pitching a podcast trying to like brainstorm what the best podcast is. It's purely like internal. They have to have at one point just at least spitballed the idea of taking the wildest

shit they hear in their surveillance and like doing America's funniest like violations of... No, that's a good idea. That's true, that's funny. Yo, you wanna hear what Trump said? That was incredible. Yo, he did say that shit about Laura. I'm just saying, we got the call right here.

Yeah. So it's basically, they're bragging that the show will, in addition to endlessly talking about how in line with compliance they are The show will allow them to show off the work they do which has been obscured by public controversies I'm not aware of any public controversies. I don't know what what there was ollie north Never heard of that. Do you have anything to do with this ages? I don't know. I don't know anything. This is what that's just such a fucking dystopian vibe where it's like it's like the same thing because they're cops, you know, they could be like, and cops

talk about how often they resist the urge to fully violate people's rights. And they really just do it like, you know, only when it's relevant. I don't know how they think this is like a fun show or something people want to listen to. I guess it's like PR slash. Yeah, it's good. Isn't there like a CIA one too? Like there is there's CIA and I think also FBI and when they're like talking about the FBI and when they're like talking about the process for making the show They like get credit in this article about the thing for like doing they're like they did endless research in in addition to Including listening to popular podcasts and also listening to the CIA and FBI podcasts to see what a podcast is Like damn guys. No, no, oh god is. Like, damn guys, really? Oh no.

Holy shit. Anyway, they're probably listening now, but hey. How'd you find time to spy on me with that level of rigor? I think it's time for the NSA to take some credit for things like the Bin Laden raid, which is the subject of the first episode. Cool, cool. So in addition to rehabbing their public image and countering critics,

the main thing that this seems to be aimed at is helping them with recruitment. Yeah. One source told Wires that the agent podcasting. Exactly. That's if we need help. As is, yeah, we're we're false. A generation we got to do it. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what this country needs is more podcasters. Yo, this is definitely an op. Yeah. For every one person, there should be a podcast made for them. You know, we need I will not rest until there are 350 million podcasts. In the future, you're just going to get a feed with your birth certificate. That's right. All right.

Yeah. You're born, start posting. There you go. Start making content. But yeah, one source told Wired that the agency is, quote, hoping that by showcasing the work we do here and the real people on the show who work here, listeners might say, quote, hoping that by showcasing the work we do here and the real people on the show who work here, listeners might say, oh, that sounds like a really cool job and that person seems pretty normal, right?

No fucking way. I love that. And that person seems pretty normal. When you're having to be like, hey, I'm a normal person over here. That's like that's what people say to get children to come into their van. Like just a normal guy here. Like also a little bit with JD Vance feels like he's like, hey, I'm just saying normal things that we all think. And then he a crazy thing. No one's ever thought right? Yeah, right

Yeah, I mean I get it look they said they're they failed to meet their hiring objectives due to quote competition with the private So this is my favorite detail of this whole story. Yeah, just Snowden leaks Cybersecurity has become massive in Silicon Valley because people are afraid of being spied on by the NSA. And so people, the private companies can sell security back to people. And now the private companies are paying way better.

You get to go live on some utopian commune where everybody has like shitty Google glasses or whatever and like just get fed sushi without like having to stop typing. Hell yeah. Rather than being a bureaucrat. Yeah, rather than being a bureaucrat. They just by spying on their own people, they created a massive industry of people being scared of data security and that industry just like drank up all their talent. You fucking you hate to see it, folks. Holy shit. The fact that they had to stress seemed like this.

And this person seems pretty normal. Right. And that's like pie in the sky dream version of what this does. Makes me look normal. They're not leading with the problematic shit that would get people like, you know what I mean? Like people want to be cops because they feel like they are omnipotent and above the law and could do whatever the fuck they want to because they are police. If you turned it into like wrote the NSA, you can fucking spy on all your enemies, man.

You do petty shit at the NSA, bro. You can bring up their fucking you could tap their grandma's phone tonight That's why i think then people will be like president trump wants to be president so they can tap tap some everyone's phones No, he will yeah He's like there was this one this one girl from middle school. I wonder what she's up to and you're like dude what? Yeah, pretty much He's talking about erin sorgen's gonna make the trump movie where it's all like He's talking about Aaron Sorkin is going to make the Trump movie where it's all like draws it back to like some girl who broke up with him and he's just like doing all of this to like impress her.

Yeah. Yeah, I do feel like if they wanted to accomplish like what Top Gun did for the Air Force, they would have made a fictional film where people just an NSA person like uses the power of spying to be awesome in some way. Yes. Isn't that Mission Impossible? It is. Yeah. Maybe, maybe that's what I'm thinking. But you can't get into the Impossible Missions Force. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's true. Yeah, but that's the, you can get into the NSA. Yeah, that's true. But yeah, I mean, hey, look, we all got dreams of illegally legally obtaining evidence somehow. So let's do that altogether. Yeah. Brian, that editor points out they just need to remake enemy of the state. But like from their perspective, like, who will speak for the shadowy government? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. They came for the shadowy government and I said nothing

I love being a stormtrooper guys and this podcast really helped me embrace that it really did so For a number of years now, I think since the 90s Yeah since the 90s the NSA has been running recruiting programs out of universities across the country with minimal push back from administrations because they and they get away with it because they just like essentially bribe schools. They have like this NSA's national centers of academic excellence designation that raises a school's profile and gets them funding from the federal government.

And so in schools, even though they have like billion dollar Endowments are just they they need that money need that bump. You got to get that NSA bump, man Once you get a billion dollars, you're not like I'm good at a billion dollars You just become that much hungrier for your next billion dollars as I referenced earlier Wanda Sykes is an alumna Okay, yeah of the NSA. Get her to fucking talk about it. And people are like on her show. That's also mass surveillance, that ring camera show that she fucking knows.

It's a very interesting circle that people end up in, but yeah. Uh, maybe she can speak to like the perks of working there. Although she says she was administrative staff. Obviously she wasn't illegally monitoring people's communications. She didn't have to take anybody out. She just had to give somebody who took someone out a positive performance review at the end of the year.

Yeah. So, I don't know. I really do think that they are going to eventually soft launch a show where they get to use the stuff that they're spying I mean, maybe that I haven't listened to this show. Maybe they are like being like and here's the first hand source Here's a primary source of like bin Laden sounding like a little bitch on the phone, right? It you really do need shit like that like you you'd be like, listen to Michael Jordan placing bets on basketball. Like here it is. You know what I mean?

Like just shit. You're like, yo, what do they have? I mean, that's what cops was essentially was like this horrible, like malevolent, malevolent force, malevolent force, fucking be like just showing people doing wacky bloopers around them while they like fucked people up because they were like scared of them. Right. Yeah. Anyway, try a reality show podcast.

And using my real name, which is, what was that person's name? Henry Kissinger. Henry Anna Kissinger. And using my real name, which is Henry and a Kissinger I feel like it wouldn't be surprising to find out like Henry Kissinger does great like voice work He's just like that kind of evil that he's just been doing a character this whole time. Oh, yeah Henry is just one of his characters Molly is there work a media you've been enjoying? Yeah, absolutely I've been watching? Yeah, absolutely. I've been watching the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu. Oh, shit.

And you guys got to get into it. You know about this show? I've heard about it. I've heard about it. A lot of people are talking about it. I'm like, do I? Yeah, yeah. You got to watch. I thought it was going to be a ripoff of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but it's like its own different insane thing. It's about a group of moms, a group of Mormon moms who started a TikTok thing called Mom Talk, which was like, even

though we're Mormon wives, we can dance. We are allowed to do TikTok dances. All right. It's 2024. Um, and then they all got into what they call soft swinging, which is where, they all, uh, consensually had sexual stuff go on with each other and each other's husbands, but not penetration, which is what makes it soft. Oh, Soft swinging. Yeah.

Victor says, do they soak? I just learned about soaking. I don't know if you do soaking. Penetration, right? I mean, that's penetration. Yeah. It doesn't count, because you don't move it back and forth,

it doesn't count. That's what soaking is. Sure. So what I'm saying, you think they're soaking? We cover soaking in depth on this. They float? They float? We cover soaking in depth on this show. They float? We get it. Floating might, hmm.

Floating is similar though. Isn't floating just another word for soaking? I think floating's also soaking. And then the homie jumps on the bed. The show's not even about the swinging scandal. It's like the aftermath. It's like following all these women. Oh, wow.

After the swinging scandal almost destroyed mom talk, the one thing that brings them all joy. Yeah. Super salacious though. It's worth watching. I mean, I like, I'm interested in it. It's a bunch of weird, extremely weird white women with names, you know, like Kaylee, Mailey.
