Starting point is 00:01:55 Shout out to all the postal carriers out there. National New Hampshire Day. Live free or die. And, you know, National Salami Day, which is appropriate as I come back from my journey. Yes. And also National Grateful Patient Day, which kind of feels like an interesting. I know it's like for probably for people who've been like, shout out to medical workers who have like saved my life. Sounds like a passive aggressive doctor came up with that one.
Starting point is 00:02:18 But it's kind of like, you know, it's National Grateful Patient Day. Maybe you missed that note. Is there like an obnoxious Italian pronunciation of salami that you can give us? No, no. It's really about, that's a broad category. You know, it's like, what are you eating? You know, is it prosciutto? Is it pinocchiona?
Starting point is 00:02:39 You know, there's so many kinds. Calabrese. There's just, you know, you go in from there. Okay, cool. Well, my name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Somebody once told me don't eat that rigatoni. You're flying from Atlanta to Spain. I was feeling quite a rumble. I stood up and I stumbled.
Starting point is 00:03:01 My stomach let loose on an airplane. Well, the poops aren't coming and they don't stop coming. That's plenty. That's courtesy of Schweitz at Schweitz A on the Discord in an homage to Two Stories, a mashup of Two Stories. Dearly Departed, Smash Mouth
Starting point is 00:03:20 lead singer, passed away over the weekend around the same time that someone shit a plane for the first time. Like they didn't just shit their pants. They shit the whole plane. Yeah. And we will be talking about that later. Our guest is wondering what they got themselves into.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Yes. Back from his duties touring Europe, the Lord of Lancashire has returned to North Hollywood to sit upon his throne in front of the San Fernando Valley lawyers. I don't even know how I was trying to get that. You don't have an AKA, so you just kind of. Just got to like kind of, you just got to kind of reassociate.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Yeah, yeah. It's like, where am I? Who am I? It's honestly, I'm bringing his throne. Upon the throne therein. Overlooking the valley. Amazing. As it were of the realm, obviously.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Yeah, you sound a little like Cousin Greg testifying in front of Congress. Look, I'm adjusting. Like I was telling you before, I'm drinking my Pedialyte. I'm trying to get my electrolyte balance back. I've been digging my toes into the carpet, diehard style, to get my jet lag going. You know what I mean? Come on. I'm trying to be grounded.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Amazing. Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very funny comedian, columnist for countless respective publications, and author of the memoir, Sex Bomb, coming all the way from the UK. It's Sadia Azmi! Sadia! Hello. Hi, guys. What's going on? I'm in New York at the moment. That's what's going on. I'm really excited. I've never been
Starting point is 00:05:00 to America. Blew it! Blew it. I'm so sorry. That's all good. No, no, no. That's all good. That's all good. I that's all good that's all good i'm loving it's really warm it's really nice people are really friendly in new york did you see the difference yeah you're driving no you just gotta go for i remember the first time i rented a car in new york and i pulled out of the thing and somebody just laid on their horn and gave me double barrel middle fingers.
Starting point is 00:05:28 And I was like, yes, as advertised, New York, you don't disappoint. They were just like, fuck you. And like for no real reason, I hadn't done anything. They could just sense I was new. So did you was your sort of perception coming into New York like this is your first time in New York? Yeah, it's my first time in the States. I just came to compare the racism to Britain. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And I'm disappointed. Where is it? Where do I have to go to find the racism? I should never have left England. Right. Probably. It's out there. Yeah, maybe, but not really.
Starting point is 00:06:02 I mean, Queens also has some of the most diverse places. It's so diverse, right? Are they going to just be into diverse racism? That's just not what I came for. New Jersey, the suburbs, Westchester. I've been told not to go Staten Island. Yeah. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:06:16 I don't know what that means. I think, well, if you are looking for racism, actually, the Staten Island thing might actually be bad. You might want to take the ferry out there and see what's what. Or yeah, see the, you know, the beginnings of Wu-Tang Clan, you know, also held in Staten Island. So there's, yeah. But it's, I mean, it's all around, honestly, just, just give it a moment. I'm wearing my hijab. I'm wearing, Honestly, just give it a moment. I'm wearing my hijab. I was hoping it would help, but no, nothing.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Yeah, we've gotten used to the hijab as well. So I don't know. Yeah, man, you guys are too cool. I'm not complaining. It's really nice. I guess come to L.A. Come to L.A. For the racism?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Well, just for the difference. Energies, they always say this, right? Neworkers are not nice but they are kind and and angelinos are nice but they are not kind and sometimes they're also not nice yeah so it's uh sometimes they can be told sometimes there's just bad they're just bad people i wish we had like some stolen relics from our times from like the empire that we could you know wow you razzle and dazzle you with but i don't like those museums i'm glad that you don't have them it's so awful yeah yeah yeah i was just at the british museum i like to go every time i'm there it was just the wording of the how the like the whole pantheon was stolen
Starting point is 00:07:45 is really interesting it's like this collection was gifted by lord blah blah blah oh really gifted by him hey it's such a shame it's the one i mean i don't like to steal but it's the one place where you'd think stealing would be okay right right right yeah that shit back yeah exactly absolutely yeah i think it counts as get a gift if as you're stealing it and stepping over someone's dead body you whisper under your breath thank you then it counts as a gift and you can put that on the on the description exactly did you see uh miles you missed this story but there's when you were traveling in the old country we were covering there's like a curator at the one of the british museums or the main british museum who was like selling all all this like wild priceless artifacts on ebay like he hadn't even changed his name from his twitter
Starting point is 00:08:42 profile oh his ebay profile was the same as his twitter profile and he was just like because they have you know there are 80 000 relics on display but they have eight million total so they just have like so much stuff and people who work for the museum were just like hey we're gonna try and like make some money back door those damn nobody feel like nobody's going to notice. Yo, but that happens at your job. When you work at a job like that, you're like, yo, there's a ton of shit back here. When I used to work at the Coach store, I used to sell bags out the back.
Starting point is 00:09:16 What was the discount? Oh, sometimes I would just come up. I would just come up because you would ship shit off to the outlet stores. So all you had to do was pack all this unused shit into boxes and you had to scan it. But sometimes you forget to scan some shit. And then now you're hooking up the homegirl with a new ergo bag. You know what I mean? That's human error.
Starting point is 00:09:35 That is just human error. You're going to accuse me of being human? I use the Tupac Shakur philosophy when it comes to stealing your job. I'm taking from them because for years they've been taking it from me. There you go. I mean, that seems right. And that is also why there needs to be a movie about people just robbing the shit out of England's museums. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:58 But like the national treasure. It's wild. It's wild to see the class conscious national treasure. Yeah. It's wild to see the Rosetta national treasure yeah it's wild to see the rosetta stone with that like big ass mark of the british army on it we're like y'all you just really fuck this thing up with your fucking this is mind stamp okay yeah all right sadia we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a
Starting point is 00:10:18 couple of things we're talking about a little later on we're gonna be talking about some good polling news just generally a majority of parents think that the attacks on school curriculum that we've all been looking at with horror from like the Moms for Liberty and the, you know, the Bannon interest groups, right wing interest groups are most people agree they are bullshit. These seem unpopular. So we're going to talk about that we will of course talk about that diarrhea plane um most importantly if there's one thing we're going to talk about today it's the diarrhea plane and there's a new trend in hollywood where they're trying to recreate barbenheimer like over and over just every time two movies are coming out on the same day which is every friday they're like oh what if this was the new boppenheimer right it's kind of funny that they
Starting point is 00:11:14 keep thinking it's gonna work all of that or maybe not all of that but some of that plenty more but first sadia we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history i um search sexy dress new york okay okay you're looking for one or you want the the was it a vibe check for what a sexy dress is in i'm looking for one i'm looking for several actually okay like it didn't go very well i i like new york being as specific as you got right it was very specific and um i went to what's it called i went to what's it called oh what's that department bloomingdales i went to bloomingdales yesterday and the lady said dolls who kill dolls kill dolls kill is a good place and then i googled them and then it was like you
Starting point is 00:12:07 shouldn't shop from here because they're really bad people so i kind of my 60 dresses on hold oh man so i mean yeah wait wait what's are their business practices messed up that's what kind of puts you off yeah it's like fast fashion type of oh basically no no not business practice apparently because i don't know the brand too well they like a pro culturally appropriate oh yeah yeah right although i'm trash like i do shop from sheen so i don't know what the fuck my problem is you know i mean i just i felt a bit bad because everyone i don't know but you guys are guys so what's the sexy dress to you oh no uh yeah hold on let me process that really quick um i don't even know what a sexy dress is anymore to be honest you're married you're good yeah yeah yeah i mean like sexy i don't know what it is. What is sexy to me?
Starting point is 00:13:06 Yeah. But there's some... So my wife is selling a bunch of her old clothes and there are some of them where I'm like, don't sell that one. Yeah, I like that. I feel like I maybe didn't do a good job of expressing how much I enjoyed some of these greatest hits. She sold one of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:13:26 And it's just something about... Does it have elements of you on them? Does it have elements of me on them? Like from a blacklight perspective? Yeah, Clintonian residue is what we call it. Yes. Yeah. It's entirely possible.
Starting point is 00:13:41 But like it's just, I don't know. I really like the way it because my wife does some some shopping online and you know she it feels useless for me to give my opinion on a dress until i see it on the person you know like totally comes down to that so but my question is because you're guys right yeah trashy right how how trashy is like is this too trashy is there something that's too trashy i mean look i i'm down you wear people wear what the fuck they want to wear you know what i mean i'm not about to police you guys be so so polite okay that's fine but here's the thing i'll take away what i take away from this but here's the thing i like from this i'll
Starting point is 00:14:25 take away what i take away from this yeah but i do like i like to see i like to see like a like a back with the back out you know what i mean that's sexy to me like when you do love a back yeah you can see the whole back situation like you know you're like okay wow okay you got the got the you know what i mean uh that's for me that's that's kind of like I think the one thing I will I will notice in a in a nice dress for sure. But yeah, not great with my fashion looks because I'm I dress tragically lad like I would say. You look cool. What's tragically lad? I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I'm just like a child. I'm broed out. I'm so bro. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean yeah yeah yeah I wish I was lollipop with high socks and yeah little lord fontelroy
Starting point is 00:15:11 style is my yeah yeah but I would say that I am less likely to notice if something is trashy then maybe my partner for instance would have more of an opinion on that than I would. Fabrics might be a little bit, might be
Starting point is 00:15:28 a time when I suddenly have taste. I'm like, why is that whole dress neoprene? You know what I mean? One of the dresses that I was just referring to is neoprene. Love it. Yeah, for me, I'm like, no, we're not scuba diving. Oh, yeah, no, that's cool that's cool yeah no dude dude you know i'm gonna go shopping after this after we're done yeah yeah we got it two of our producers
Starting point is 00:15:54 that live in new york they're not on the call right now but if they were on they would be hitting you with a ton of recommendations so i gotta i'll sidebar be like yo we gotta hook sadia up with some recommendations. Yeah, yeah. Sadia, what's something you think is overrated? So I think, you know, when you go to the, like, basically the U.S. Border Patrol, the fear of U.S. Border Patrol, I think that's overrated because I was like, it's my first time coming to America and people were like, oh, this white guy got sent back. He, the Border Patrol guy asked him three times, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? And the third time he must've said something funny and they sent him back. So I was like, oh my God, they're not going
Starting point is 00:16:34 to let me in and they're going to send me back. And this is what happened. The guy basically was like, did you travel alone? And I was like, yeah, unfortunately I'm single. And he was like, how long are you here for? I was like two months. And he was like, unfortunately i'm on my i'm single and he was like how long you here for i was like two months and he was like are you here to get some dick i was like what basically we just start laughing i had a whole suitcase full of my book sex bomb i'm like oh no please don't search my ck then and and he was just like welcome to america yeah wow get it in yeah boom boom stamped your shit off you go i was gone i was i was gonna do anything i had to do to get in to be honest whatever he wanted so i mean that sounded like he was opening the door to that conversation yeah he's like oh is your
Starting point is 00:17:19 number in your passport let me see that real quick let me get that whatsapp but the thing is before me i was sweating in the line before me there was this like european she didn't look british but she was a white blonde girl he took her to the room and then came back to the table so she had some further questioning so i was like that's a white girl i was like i'm in trouble and we just started laughing it was i was just so happy the way that worked out. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. Yeah. I don't, I don't,
Starting point is 00:17:47 I can't imagine. I mean, like, I feel like I was a very New York interaction though, too. Like if someone in that capacity goes, Oh, so you're here for some dick. Like that feels very accommodating.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm glad. I'm glad he knew the audience rather than like saying that to like someone who maybe not. love how he sensed a desperation you know i mean like he didn't know me right he must have just seen my but he was like why are you moving around in the in the queue i was worried
Starting point is 00:18:13 about him he must have thought i was like just ready to pounce right right he was like asking why you were you were like giving a little squirm what was yeah he was like he was like, Oh, you're, you're moving from side to side. And I was like, I just be quiet. Cause I, I just, I'm not going to argue with no one who's got authority over me. Like it's just not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Right, right, right, right, right. You're like, Oh, so you a doctor now?
Starting point is 00:18:36 You're like, you're not going to come back with that response. You'd be like, yeah, yeah. I don't know what I said. I must've said something back to him. I said,
Starting point is 00:18:43 Oh, you're, you're no, this one. I said, look how slick I am. I said, Oh, you're... No, this one I said, look how slick I am. I said, oh, you're very observant. There you go.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I mean, kind of. He is. He kind of landed on the right question, right? Yeah. Yeah. Wait. Maybe, like, there are some people working the U.S. Border Patrol who are, like, born for this.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And they're like, I'm just very observant. And I can read people. I know when someone is's horny that would be kind of nice to imagine right yeah right exactly the nervous person in line whisper right while you're here so two months are you are you are you out there you're gonna be are you be hitting the app so you're gonna you staying open you're looking for love you just kind of you know you're here if something happens it happens you're not really looking for i someone told me actually when i was in england because i'm trying to like find an agent or whatever not and they were like oh you should just join all the apps like because you'll meet the best people like that she wasn't even really strictly talking
Starting point is 00:19:38 about dating but i'm very anti-app like i just, I don't like it. I like real life kind of stuff. So love would be great. Dick would be really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get you, yeah, we need to get you to like an art opening, like a gallery opening. You know what I mean? Find some, find some wavy type. I'll be, listen, there's guys on the streets collecting cans.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Yeah, yeah. You're like, are you willing and able? Then here we are. No, a lot of them are passed out, you know, I'm not going to lie. A lot of them are not willing and they're not able. Miles, I like that you went with art opening. Are you picturing Thomas Crown Affair? What are we picturing? No, I'm just thinking like people who are kind of chill, you know, like that because you never know what you get in a club you know so i feel like you can tell me where you can't get in the club so i can watch out for it but yeah i feel like side you got a little bit of class to her you know so probably could do with something a little bit elevated you know i mean not just some scrub but yeah
Starting point is 00:20:39 yeah but again i don't know i don't mean this but i'm like classy too now i'm jason right my final dress at the library looking for something. What's something you think is underrated? Trader Joe's. Oh, my God. I love Trader Joe's. I've been here for three days. I must have been there 10 times already.
Starting point is 00:20:59 It's the best shit ever. They're sliced fruit and they have everything the guys the guys are really nice he wrote me a list I said what should I do when I'm in New York he wrote me all this stuff he told me about how I should go to Max Brenner because they have like this syringe chocolate okay I was like wow and then he told me about Carmine's which is a great family-style Italian place in Times Square. He told me about Stardust Diner, which apparently is good donuts. And, yeah, he told me to go to South Street Seaport and Junior's Cheesecake. And he said, I don't drink, but he said, if you like to drink, you should go to Yard House because they have like 150.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Anyway, that was him. But Trader Joe's is really cool. That guy, by the way, is about to get rinsed by our listeners. They're all going to be like, wow. Terrible advice. You in New York? You in a yard house? I'm open to all the recommendations.
Starting point is 00:21:53 So if you want other things. Because he was kind of really treating me like a tourist, obviously, with the Times Square kind of stuff. Yeah, I was going to say. I didn't get that. But he was very nice. I didn't care. He told me to go to Eminem store. I was like, what the fuck, man? We've got that shit in London. Yeah. I didn't know. I i didn't get that but he was very nice i didn't care um he told me to go to eminem store i was like what the fuck man we've got that shit in london yeah i didn't know i
Starting point is 00:22:08 definitely don't want to store yeah yeah i can't believe this literally written here i was like no i just was quiet because i didn't say sweet things and um but yeah trader joe seems like underrated it feels like i don't know i love it been there. Yeah, it's really cool. Right. It's just... Do they have Trader Joe's in the UK? No. I watched all the... You know the bodybuilding videos on YouTube? A lot of them do their...
Starting point is 00:22:34 What is it? Shopping hauls. They do the shopping hauls in Trader Joe's. And it's really cool. I like it. I'm sorry. Bodybuilding videos on YouTube? No, I'm not savvy.
Starting point is 00:22:44 What are you talking about? What are you watching? Is it Muscle Foods or YouTube? No, I'm not savvy. You know muscle, is it muscle foods or muscle something? Like, I don't know. I've been watching a lot of this. I've been watching a lot of this shit, trying to clean up the nutrition, man. Oh, okay. I thought you were just trying to look at like built dudes. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:22:58 That's actually a bit too built, maybe. I just, yeah, I'm trying to get that nutritional advice. Right, right, right. No, it's uh you know trader joe's is fun it's funny because like on the other end i'm like i love m&s when i'm in london you know i'm saying like i gotta get my meal deal you know at tesco you know i mean i gotta get my cheese and onion sandwich on malted brown bread that cheese and onion does bang though the m&s one is very good that's what what I'm saying. And people clown me, like other people
Starting point is 00:23:26 I know live out there, like, yo, you eating cheese and onion sandwich? I'm like, this shit fucking goes. That's all England's got, bruv. That's all we've got. So if I'll cheese an onion sandwich, you've got nothing else. Our food ain't great. I mean, the food here is amazing compared to what we have, right?
Starting point is 00:23:41 Right. But you gotta look for it. You know what I mean? It's the same thing. If you know where to look for good food that you can find it, but if you just kind of wander into any old place, then yeah, you're definitely rolling the dice in terms of quality. I'm unfamiliar with cheese and onion sandwich. This is the first I've heard those words put together.
Starting point is 00:23:56 What is the cheese melted? Are the onions sauteed? What do we look at? Oh my God. Okay. Lower the expectations just a tad, but it tastes really good it's like basically a cheese and onion mix it's like red cheese i think it's red leicester cheese
Starting point is 00:24:10 yeah and like cheddar what is it shredded i don't know what you call it and then there's a kind of mayo or something i don't know it's it's like a spread it's almost like it's almost like pimento sort of type of oh okay yeah it spreads It spreads easy with a little bit of like, you know, spring onion, red onion in there too. It's so addictive. Yeah. It's an easy,
Starting point is 00:24:30 it's like an easy thing to just get lost. What do you get with your meal though? So you get a cheese and onion sandwich. I'll get some Walker's crisps, you know, maybe sweet Thai chili. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:38 And get that Ribena fam. You know what I mean? What flavor cheese? Sorry, Chris, what flavor? Oh, sweet Thai chili. Okay, okay. And then the Ribena, black currant.

Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do, like resume specialist Morgan Sanner. The only difference between the person who doesn't get the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah, I think a lot about that quote. What is it like you miss 100% of the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary, but it's better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career without sacrificing your sanity or sleep. Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? 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.
Starting point is 00:27:53 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,
Starting point is 00:28:11 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. We're back we're back and you know we're we're in an era of just wild shit coming across about like what parents are trying to do to school curriculum to school libraries we had florida teaching people that slavery was not actually bad. It was just like job training, a job training program. They got job skills after.
Starting point is 00:28:49 So it's just, there's been a steady drumbeat of like children, their education, their bodies are under attack from these weird right-wing creeps. Yeah. But there's new polling that suggested it, it might be as unpopular as you would hope it would be. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:29:09 like, you know, we talked about the rise of moms for Liberty and like, and also then the parents that have begun to like kind of counter that message and see the success that they've had by merely pointing out to other parents, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:20 these people want to obscure the teaching of the Holocaust, the civil war slavery. That's sort of what they're going for. And also we've just seen like, you know, these people want to obscure the teaching of the Holocaust, the Civil War, slavery. That's sort of what they're going for. And also we've just seen like, you know, that like this idea of like woke ism is creeping into our schools because we're beginning to teach children what, you know, structural racism is or that it exists in this country or that, you know, just disingenuously, just disingenuously calling people groomers just because they support the LGBTQ plus communities. So there's this polling that shows that a majority of parents, they are actually becoming a little bit worried about all these weird ass bills and these like these campaigns against, you know, what is seen as normal curriculum. So when they asked about the top three issues like
Starting point is 00:30:05 voters cared about as it relates to like schooling and things like that, only 28 percent listed, quote, being exposed to woke issues about gender and race in school as one of their top three issues. Policies that involve book bans or, you know, mandatory genital inspections for youth athletes, you know, to to confirm their sex when participating in sports. Those are all unpopular, unpopular, 92 percent and 84 percent objected, respectively. So say that those policies, those ideas are very concerning to somewhat concerning. Yes, exactly. And not something like, yeah, I'm not concerned at all that we're going to have someone check kids genitals because they want to play soccer or something or flag football. So the GOP has been so focused on like reversing the pace of progress and like attempting to stop the normalization of our diverse country and communities that it's turned into like that it's it's hardly ever turned into actual electoral wins sure they can they can pick off the odd school board election here and there but we've seen this again
Starting point is 00:31:10 with l after l they've been taking when they try to curtail reproductive health care even in states that are seen as like red states people are still not on board with people saying like yeah i think these like four random old white guys should determine like what people do with their bodies they're you know they're not they're not really fucking with all that so it is good to see that this is having this kind of shift but it should also serve as no surprise that rather than like going back to their drawing board to figure out how to message to like you know compassionate or normal human beings they would rather just come up with schemes to just gut the entire federal government, because that's another thing that we've heard about. There's a thing called Project 2025 that the Heritage Foundation is trying to put together
Starting point is 00:31:53 where like, they want to find like 50,000 patriots to basically put into the federal government if slash maybe when if Trump becomes president to say, yep, no one's going to get in the way now of your full blown fashion fantasy. So there is that to kind of to keep an eye on. But overall, it is good to see that these like these sort of issues, they are not they're not really breaking through in terms of like what people are really putting up as their main focus or concern as it relates to their children's education. up as their main focus or concern as it relates to their children's education. Yeah. I mean, just general, it feels like sexually repressive politics tend to be less popular than they seem at first, I guess, almost like sexual repression is a shell game perpetrated by a small number of sexually insecure men that doesn't benefit anyone except for them. And people figure that out after a while.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Right, right, right, right. Um, Saudi, I know like with your work, like you talk a lot about like sexual repression,
Starting point is 00:32:53 pushing back against those sort of concepts. And, you know, how, how do you sort of look at the, the nonsense that's happening here? I mean, in England,
Starting point is 00:33:01 like all the kids get taught is about gays. No, I'm joking um but i was reading this story and yeah no i think i think it happens in ways i don't think that we're having the same kind of issues right now it kind of comes it's a bit quiet and then it goes away and it comes back sometimes and i think the stuff you said about slavery is insane like it's just yeah right yeah because i think you know like what we're seeing is that like it's the whole point of all of these like policies
Starting point is 00:33:32 is that they they're one they want to revive like weaponized shame because over the last 30 years they've lost conservatives have lost too much ground where like we've began to see things as not as taboo as they used to be like the idea of like same-sex marriage or that trans people exist or that we can acknowledge that there are actual problems with racism in this country those are not as taboo as they were maybe were in the 80s or 70s or preceding decades and so now it's like that the only way they can try and sort of bring people in line is to try and bring back this sort of societal pressure to try and say like, yeah, there's really no place for this at all. So even if you want to leave this community, the country at large is
Starting point is 00:34:16 going to be hostile towards you because that is sort of the end game for them. But I don't know how, again, how effective that's going to be considering that most people at this point are like less caught up with that kind of thinking than uh you know maybe that they they believe they are and just generally it like this poll i feel like reveals just like something we've seen with like the the more rights people, the more entitlements that people get, like the harder it is to take them away. And like, they're just people democratically, like generally, it feels like their preferences tend to go in the direction of having more rights, having more rights for more people. Like that's, that's actually what people want. They want justice. They want good things for the people around them. And when they're given that, it makes it harder to take that away. This poll is somewhat encouraging.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Obviously, there's a lot of work to be done, but it feels like, I don't know, things are maybe moving in the right direction or it's going to be harder for the GOP, like you said, Miles, to just kind of snatch all this shit back and move it in the opposite direction that things have been moving for a long time. And I think like the,
Starting point is 00:35:46 the reason this is surprising is because there's a tendency to like portray people as no, nobody ever lost money underestimating the people of the United States or, you know, like the public at large. And I feel like that's not, I, I, I think that's a misconception that people are dumb in general.
Starting point is 00:36:10 I think people are just like that, the ability of the media to like make that assumption and just like underestimate people and what they actually want is something that enables them to keep kind of bullshitting and right there's i feel like there's an issue like with civics right like we people don't understand a lot of like the legit the legislative process so in that sense people become dismissive because like how do you how did you lose your eye like your you keep your
Starting point is 00:36:42 eye off this thing or x, Y, or Z? But when it comes down to asking a person, do you think people should be inspecting a kid's genitals so they can play sports? People are like, what the fuck are you talking about? I heard that kids used to swim naked in America in the 50s. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's mad yeah they did that was and then nobody really explained like why apparently was that hygiene reasons and then it just stopped happening which is great but like so weird that it happened there yeah there's always going to be this sort of like back and forth of like going between like becoming a little bit more open or just realizing like, yeah, there's we don't have to be so puritanical.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And then suddenly after like every 25 years, suddenly we get like the moral panic switch gets smashed in and then everyone is now freaking out about even the smallest things and turning into all kinds of controversies that most of the time aren't even there. So, yeah, I mean, again, I don't know what this how the polls like how the polling will affect the playbook going into this next presidential election. But it's clear, like a lot of the things that they're really being loud about aren't necessarily the winning issues. about aren't necessarily the winning issues yeah but i think again it only takes them to message on a couple of the right things for most people to ignore all the heinous other shit where it's like yeah i mean like maybe they mean that about like you know taking away like lgbtq people's rights but also like the thing they're saying about like my like prescription medicare like my prescription medicines and wages and things like that i i kind of like that so maybe i can ignore the other part for this thing that's where i think it gets a
Starting point is 00:38:29 little bit and going to jack's point about where he said like we're not that people aren't that dumb i think it's um sometimes just about having that empowerment isn't it as well i think sometimes people think people are stupid but it's just about feeling empowered to kind of have your own Sometimes people think people are stupid, but it's just about feeling empowered to kind of have your own response or feel like you're not stupid. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, totally. When I think that's the point of like a lot of these bills is that like someone who feels empowered or feels that, well, if this if this group of people is saying this, I can see that there is a community at large that doesn't believe that. And I will be accepted there.
Starting point is 00:39:11 They want to eliminate that possibility from someone's mind so then the only option is to conform to whatever fucked up version of the american ideal or whatever these people are thinking is the way forward totally and i feel like people can tell when they're being talked down to or underestimated right so yeah when people are just like being honest as politicians, I feel like that also resonates a lot. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the poo plane. We'll be right back. Great.

This new season will cover all things sports and culture.
Starting point is 00:42:35 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 and we're back and uh the internet is you know just just clogged with jokes about this recent flight that had to make an emergency landing because one of the passengers had just a crate just a an unexpected amount of diarrhea it sounds like spilling into the aisles levels of diarrhea this was a delta flight from atlanta to barcelona was forced to turn around and make an emergency landing after a passenger.
Starting point is 00:43:29 This is the quote that I think people are responding to. Quote, had diarrhea all the way through the plane. That is a powerful description. All the way through the plane. Oh, I think. And then they said it was a I think then they told the from the cockpit. They said it was a biohazard event. Yeah, what was forcing them to turn the plane around? Which is very, it's some idea amount of obsession with this story is kind of wild. I don't know if it's tapping into like, just in it, like innate fear we have as people or what, but I i've i thought this was like a headline i would see come and go but the amount of like other places like vice tmz like all these other blogs that are now like writing like long form articles about it like where did like where did the sort of
Starting point is 00:44:19 like social norms break down during this event like it's something like I'm now like seeing think pieces about, like, how did we get to the point that it was in the eyes? The poop. Yeah. How, what happened? What went wrong?
Starting point is 00:44:33 What required, like, why are they saying social norms broke down? Like, isn't it just somebody who had a health problem? I think there, I think it's almost wondering like, how could it be that much?
Starting point is 00:44:45 Why is it all over? Like, why is it all up and down the plane? Was someone in blocking the bathroom? It's caused more questions than I feel like we even need to ask. I want to know how much weight he lost. Will it stay off? Yeah, I don't know. Might need to be like, though. And we know it's a him because women wouldn't roll like off? You know? Yeah. I don't know. Might need to be like, though.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Yeah. And we know it's a him. Cause women wouldn't roll like that. You know what I mean? I think it was, the dude had to be wearing cargo shorts. Coming down. It's just like a, like a rain gutter.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Yeah. Yeah. Maybe, maybe very. Yeah. But it's like, and it's just wild too, because now you're seeing like listicles, like here's some other unusual reasons. Like poo has like derailed a service dog pooped in the aisle. Let me get an exact description of that one.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Because they're like up to three times, according to multiple media reports. The airline's cabin crew did their best to clean up the mess, but then the animal, a service dog, according to U.S. Airways, pooped again up to three times, according to multiple media reports. In 2015, a British Airways flight had to turn around due to a smelly poo in the toilet so that presumably was not a dog i i'm shocked that it doesn't happen more frequently with dogs because it did i had a i don't tell this story very often because my it turned out our dog was very sick and like we we didn't realize it at the time we were traveling with our dog, but our dog was, you know, tiny, sprinted out of the bag we were carrying her in, made a beeline for first class and just took a massive shit in first class.
Starting point is 00:46:34 The flight attendants like brought her back, told us we were going to like have to turn the plane around if it happened again. And then it happened. It happened again because she was like an escape artist and it was it was really bad i i had always admired her for being a real one and taking this shit in first class but solidarity you know it like she ended up being very very sick like when we got when we landed we took her to the vet and like she didn't make it much longer than that unfortunately but it was definitely incredibly stressful and i i have always wondered since then like how do all these dogs like i see a lot of dogs on the flights like how do they they're i'm just impressed that they
Starting point is 00:47:19 know that they need to hold it and that they're like, you know, able to do that the whole time. I guess it's just like the owners like skip a meal beforehand. I guess. I mean, I've flown once with my dog and that was the only fear I had the entire flight was like, you know, shit everywhere. Like, yeah, I'm gonna look like the dude with the shitty dog on the plane or the airport. I think a lot of it had to do with like my own i think shame around having
Starting point is 00:47:45 a like more less so about the like worrying about the dog it's like the dog will make me look a certain way and i'm not about that life so i had to maybe put my my my frail ego aside to let the dog do its thing but yeah i don't know it's just i think it's a universal fear we all have you know yeah and i think i think there's also a lot of people are just focused on what it must be like to be that person who had this experience. Right. Because now all we're talking about
Starting point is 00:48:16 is the person who did this mess and messed up everybody's flight to Barcelona. You know, what happened? How could that have happened happened he ate too much curry could be or maybe just having like our terrible air like airport food that's one thing i'll say the the airport food is better in england than the u.s because again i hate to bring up those like easy meal deal sandwiches but if you bought a sandwich in the u.s airport it's gonna be like a 15 dollar croissant sandwich with turkey on it that tastes like absolute shit and who knows how good it is so i feel like it could be it could be our it could be something at hartsfield jackson airport
Starting point is 00:48:54 but i don't know i don't quite know the thing with the thing with this like the ba flight that had to be turned around due to a quote smelly poo which is a very english description where americans would be like yeah dude just shit everywhere a smelly poo had to be i like they said only 50 of the air is being recycled is that telling us during the pandemic like so much of the air gets recycled and like filtered or am i am i completely missing that stat because i feel like that was a thing that people were always told about how the air on airplanes is much better than you would imagine. Right. I mean, 50% is still a lot of the air. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know what that even means that 50% of the air is being recycled and cleaned. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:41 But yeah, a decision was taken to return for the safety and comfort of our customers on board. Yeah. Very classy. I think someone complained about the shit, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:51 that it can't have been that much. Someone complained. Someone just couldn't handle the shit. But in this one, there have been videos from the, from inside the plane
Starting point is 00:50:02 after it all went down and it looks like there are streaks of something running up and down the aisles which is those you know it's funny though in these articles are like those images have not been confirmed by the airline it could be propaganda it could be scat propaganda so i'm not sure entirely. Oh, dear. It was very bad overflow. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. Well, at least they made their flight after a five-hour delay.
Starting point is 00:50:32 So who should play the guy in the movie? Right. It's a great question. I mean, I think it kind of has to be Tim Robinson. But is it someone nervous? Or do you see it as someone with confidence? You know what I mean? Like, I can see it being a villain, too. It's like, hey, I don't know what you want me to do.
Starting point is 00:50:50 You know what I mean? It's just happening. It's almost like, oh. You know, like, I think if we put ourselves in that situation, we might be a little less brazen or confident about it. But, hey. Yeah, if it's, like, a confident person, then it almost is like, are they just doing it on purpose
Starting point is 00:51:03 because they feel like they can get away with it? Like that becomes weird. And how long till you fly again? Do you know what I mean? Like how long till you... Right. Do they, right. Do they, do you get a new plane or they're like, or you go back in the plane and you're kind of clocking all the mess.
Starting point is 00:51:19 You're like, oh, they didn't really get everything. But you know what? I don't want to delay my vacation. So let's go. Yeah. Great questions that we we don't we don't currently have the answer but obviously this is an evolving story obviously that we will you know we'll we'll keep updating and we'll we'll it's not now history has its eyes on this one absolutely we'll see where it lands, so to speak. And finally, Hollywood keeps trying to recreate Barbenheimer in weird ways, which, like, so one thing, we're getting a low-budget parody movie
Starting point is 00:51:52 called Barbenheimer about a group of, quote, fed-up female dolls who build an A-bomb to bring down the patriarchy once and for all. The poster is a Barbie doll silhouette in front of a mushroom cloud and it says d cup a bomb barbenheimer exploding soon the studio in charge of this production is full moon features best known for the puppet master and trancers movies. What's Trancers? I'm not familiar with Puppet Master. Trancers seems like it's trying to capitalize on some other movie,
Starting point is 00:52:32 but I'm not sure what exactly that is. I don't know. The first one came out in 1984. The Trancers? The first Trancers? It looks like some janky version of like tron maybe not transformers huh no yeah it's like a fake transformers fake oh i see phantasm like like the this feels like like not the highest level. It says, a gruff bounty hunter travels back in time to 1980s Los Angeles to stop a twisted criminal who can transform people into zombie-like creatures. Oh, that sucks. Hard hitting.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Well, they, so this came out in 84? So they were ahead of time? The first transfers did, yeah, yeah. Helen Hunt was even in it. Wow. All right. The first transfers did. Yeah. Yeah. Helen Hunt was even in it. Wow. All right. So,
Starting point is 00:53:30 but mostly people in studios keep trying to awkwardly force pairs of movies that happen to be releasing on the same day into the Barbenheimer mold. The most prevalent attempt at the moment seems to be saw patrol because saw X and the new paw patrol movie both open on September 29th. And so people are like, forget Barbenheimer, Saw X and the new Paw Patrol movie both open on September 29th. And so people are like, forget Barbenheimer. Get ready for Saw Patrol on September 29th. What is the logic they're applying?
Starting point is 00:53:54 It's just that like Saw and Paw rhyme. Therefore, it's the double feature of all time. That's what worked about the last one. Which one are you going to watch first? Yeah. Yeah. Which one are you catching first? You going Pawia which one you catching first you going paw patrol first or saw saw x first paw paw go paw first okay yeah yeah see i think you need to watch saw to like get ready to to feel all of like what is actually happening in the paw patrol
Starting point is 00:54:19 movies i think right you need saw to prepare you. Right. Because the overlap of that, that's not even a Venn diagram of audiences. It's just two circles on top of each other. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like Barbie and Oppenheimer were obviously very different movies, but they, you know,
Starting point is 00:54:39 they could conceivably cater to the same audience, like movie lovers, first of all, and then like adults adults but like no adult wants to see paw patrol like that that's a that's an actual scientific fact no adult is going to paw patrol without that cop again being dragged there by a child right but kids would love to see saw they would they probably shouldn probably shouldn't. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, there's a lot of fun. There's a lot of creativity in Saw and things that appeal to a child. They love puzzles.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Yeah, especially ones that end with you becoming disfigured or dying. Yeah, of course. But they are, like, both film studios are like playing into this like they did a like saw patrol social media post like they they had the paw patrol puppies in a post from paramount pictures saying seven tickets to saw patrol please hashtag saw patrol and then the jigsaw doing like a a weird children's puzzle and then i don't know it says there is no escape this is not really uh oh but the the children's puzzle is a paw patrol puzzle so it's just jigsaw having a meltdown and uh deciding to kill clearly like based on a paw patrol puzzle that picture is like of like a mannequin that they just put
Starting point is 00:56:06 a pencil in the hands. Like that is not like real hands and a jacket. You know, like look how rigid the hands are in that picture. It's like, dress this doll up and we'll say it's Jigsaw.
Starting point is 00:56:17 But isn't Jigsaw, Jigsaw's a toy, right? Oh, oh, is it, huh? It's not that. Who is the guy? Oh, but then there was the guy low-key who was dying in the background right who was right yeah yeah yeah okay okay i forgot see i'm this is i don't fuck with those movies i'm like i don't want to see something where someone's head gets
Starting point is 00:56:36 like sucked out with a vacuum or some shit i'm like yeah i can't i'm not giving that yeah yeah life's already too fucked up i don't need to be like yo you'll be worse if your eyeballs got fucking blown out by a fucking vacuum like no i'm good then all right so just uh others that are they're trying to shoehorn in taylor swift era's tour and the exorcist movie uh they were trying to make it into exor swift but then the exorcist movie fucked off because they didn't want to be on the same day that Taylor Swift was like breaking the box office. Right. And then IndieWire questioned if the new Barbenheimer could be the release of Martin Scorsese's historical drama,
Starting point is 00:57:13 Killers of the Flower Moon and the sci-fi drama, Foe, which like, I don't know. I, it's just, it's very confusing. I don't know what they,
Starting point is 00:57:24 it's just, I think it's know what they think happened the first time. Right. It just speaks to, like, the quote-unquote brain power in Hollywood, too, where you see, like, they see a thing work once, and then the first thought is, we need to replicate this in the most literal way possible. Not, like like zooming out and trying to understand what happened they're like i don't know they combined the word barbie and
Starting point is 00:57:49 oppenheimer and people fucking lost it so let's give us all their money yeah maybe it's like a magic word and we say magic word and they give us all their money we need to find we need to invent the new magic word to unlock people's brains to buy double feature tickets. Rather than saying this was a serendipitous occurrence where it was just through sheer coincidence. And people being witty on the internet just kind of became a meme where they're like, I don't know. These are two ends of the spectrum. That would be kind of interesting. Rather than being like Xer Swift.
Starting point is 00:58:24 I think a good mashup would be Scarface and God than being like x or swift huh that'll be i think a good mashup would be scarface and godfather wouldn't that be great yeah that works at the same time hell yeah i'm i'm wondering though too like in the past i'm sure like there were a ton of weekends like this where you had two movies but we just didn't have the internet to like give it like a new name where I'm sure two great films came out at the same time, but we're not so obsessed with the idea. Or were at least out at the same time, because movies used to
Starting point is 00:58:52 stay out for six months. They would be in theaters. They were like, yeah, that's all we got for this year, folks. We made three movies for you. We hope you like one of them. Any other options? Despicable Me 4 opens opposite Mufasa the lion king uh which those are just two animated movies for children what the
Starting point is 00:59:12 fuck are you guys talking about but yeah it really feels like people have somehow forgotten that two movies opening on the same day is just a thing that happens literally every single week right like i mean i feel like maybe like back when albums used to come out on tuesdays sometimes you have those like blessed release days you're like yo i'm actually getting two albums today but again it's it's just the release schedule folks and i don't think you want to see this what it is is that you know the first week sales they like really mean a lot and i think it's obviously it's all about the money right so they're just trying to get that they just create that big hype so that
Starting point is 00:59:50 people are just looking at the listings and be like oh that's that's in the top so that's the top five top whatever let's go check that out yeah what was the what was the one that like beetlejuice was gonna come out like with something else they were saying oh the the new beetlejuice movie might they might have something with that new beetlejuice thing coming out the same time as another movie but i already forgot because it doesn't fucking matter it's two movies fucking coming out right i vaguely remember it though i know what you're talking about yeah yeah i know that i think i'm sure there's already articles heralding like whatever new Beatle former movie is or whatever the fuck we're going to get.

I, oh my God. So Twitter was going crazy today. I was just going to go with one. about on okay sorry did you see the tucker carlson tweet where i think he's got an interview with a man who claims he had sex with barack obama in 1999 and he tells his story oh wow i saw that i saw barack obama 1999 trending on twitter and i was like i don't even want to know that you don't
Starting point is 01:02:42 want to know it was crack involved there was He said he had sex with him twice. And he said it wasn't his first time. I said, wow. And he said, I don't think it was his last. There you go. I love that Tucker Carlson found somebody too. And then they really had to underline the anti-black racism. And they were smoking crack.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Holy shit. It was real bad. And this is just now coming out. They somehow managed to keep this under wraps. Tucker Carlson is aware that Barack Obama is not running for president, right? You know what I mean? He's still parted by him.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I feel like this guy's been around, though, right? Hasn't there been a guy who claims that he had sex with Barack Obama and like did crack with him? Like, I feel like that was always bubbling during his presidency too. Oh. The only change is that Tucker Carlson decided to interview him. It feels like. Right. Miles, where can people find you?

I wish Taco Bell served some kind of spaghetti. I don't know why, but I'm like, I can imagine that. I don't know why, but I'm like, I can imagine that. I can imagine a sloppy, like, Taco Bell ground beef spaghetti that would absolutely go against everything I learned when I was in Italy.
Starting point is 01:04:35 But sometimes you got to give it up. After I saw that whole thing. I feel like it would be a little like Skyline. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It's going to be like Cincinnati, you know, spaghetti chili, which is also fantastic. Because I guess after knowing that they were trying to do Baja Blast gelato, I mean, it only makes sense that they would do some kind of spaghetti now. Is that all anyone was talking about in Italy when you were over there?
Starting point is 01:04:55 No, but you know what? Well, I saw that shit on the internet, and all I wanted to do was talk about it, and I just knew Her Majesty would be like, just shut the fuck up about Taco Bell for fucking 10 seconds you idiot.
