yeah i had to go to the dentist this morning and i got a filling but the whole dental office i go to is really awesome so it went super smooth i had one time one of the last times i got a filling my dentist you know like i guess you have to hit like this lingual nerve to sort of numb the specific area. Like that's what they did. Or for you, a bilingual nerve. Thank you. Wow. Radio bilingue nerve.

And the dude hit the nerve so hard. Like it, my face was like ringing for like hours after. Ringing. Oh, that's such a- He had a nerve where you triggered, Miles? Yeah. Triggered much, Lib. And at the time, I was a minor.

It's not like it's not really necessarily like a technique thing. Like sometimes I think it just, you know, it's like kind of a crapshoot. But I don't know. Maybe I'm coping because I think that's what bad dentists say. No, no, no no no dude it's actually just like a crap shoot it didn't occur to me to like a few like hours after and the shit wasn't it like was still kind of numb and weird and then i started looking it up and then like sometimes the lingual i don't know anyway i'm i'm here i am i'm okay i had a dentist uh cut my tongue

You know they're from Dayton, Ohio, right, Jack? Shout-out to the Ohio player. Love rollercoaster. Yeah, yeah. You know, because Dayton, Ohio, considered by most to be the home of funk music. Yeah. You know, because Dayton, Ohio, considered by most to be the home of funk music. Yeah, I've always heard that and assumed it was considered by some being people from Dayton, Ohio, to be the home of funk. No, it's because the amount of black church bands in Dayton gave way to these huge funk groups. I went to the worst churches.

I really missed out. I don't think I went to that church. I went to Inc church i went to incarnation shout out to incarnation in dayton ohio all right not really because the band was not popping like that it was an acoustic guitar and a midi oh you know it was you know if we were like there was a praise band like that looks like there's a point point where the Catholic Church opened it up to acoustic guitars. For most of my life, it was just like, people say. Like old women who just had, like, we're just, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just at that really high register. And then at a certain point, they were like, I don't know, man. Let's just, like, be chill. White churches definitely give off the vibe of, like, a white guy who pulls out a guitar at a party. You're like, not here, man. Yeah. Anyways. The funk was not present.

It was not there. It was not alive. God was not in that room. It turned out. God left that room the second the band showed up. He holy ghosted. Miles, we have been holy ghosted. Miles, we have been holy ghosted. Miles, we are thrilled to be joined

One of the, who was just like, like gay people, like everybody's tempted to do it. You have to not do it. We are all thinking about it constantly. But we hold it back, right?

Hold it back and use a series of apps. We're all white knuckling our way through fucking Ikea, okay? They're like, you know, you can build them our way through fucking Ikea. Okay. They're like, you know, you can build them any way you want at home. They can be real. You know, like what?

Let me show you this thing in my basement. And it's like George Clooney and burn after reading. It's fucking insane that an election can be influenced by a shit poster. Like I love it. So the whole time we were like man misinformation is really gonna fuck this election up and the most hard-hitting piece of misinformation was this guy fucks a couch yeah i'm like saluting i love america i love democracy i've never been more patriotic than with this JD Vans couch.

How low the bar is. Yeah. I know. I know. How have you been, Pallavi? I've been good. I've been good. Been a weird week for so many reasons.

Excited to talk about what's going on. Excited to bring my people and Miles' people together. You know what I mean? Enough fighting. You know? and Miles' people together. You know what I mean? Enough fighting.

We both can be represented by Kamala's pro-Israel stance. That's right. I'm Japanese today, actually. Oh, okay. Got it. I'm so sorry. And you do have to pick one. So we just...

Before we start recording, we make sure everybody just gets on the record and states what they are today. What's your race? I've known Miles a very long time, and he's always been black to me. It's weird how today he's Japanese. I didn't know, folks.

I thought he was one of those anime blacks. That's why he was speaking Japanese so well. He's one of these otaku types. He's like anamorphic into different races. Have you seen all the fucking black and white Michael Jackson memes people have been playing? They're like, this is what she thinks. Because there is that one scene where it goes from

this South Indian woman to Isaiah Thomas. Oh, yeah. Or people have been posting Sammy Sosa and stuff, too, of changing races. God, that morph technology really had a moment there in the early 90s. The black and white video and Terminator 2, I feel like they came out of the same, like the same summer. Dude, it was, I remember it was a huge thing for like artists too.

Cause my dad at the time, I remember he was working on like these digital art pieces and making Pat Buchanan look like a black man and shit in the early 90s. And that was a personal project for Pat Buchanan, right? His kink. Can you make me look like a black guy? I don't remember that because I was so young.

Yeah, you should. I can't remember anything. I was 17 at the time. I can't remember anything. 1992. I was 43 years old. I remember pretty well. What are you, Biden? That was the first technology that I was scared to buy. Morphing. The hell is this? Anyways. That's AI. Yeah, that was my first brush with AI. Paula, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about.

The Rock is not good at convincing young men to die for American imperialism. We just found out The Rock is getting sued. This is just like a good insight. Not sued. They're like, can we have our money back? It sounds like right now. I mean, maybe it gets to a lawsuit. The military just asks you nicely for their money back.

And you're like, yeah. What are you going to do? They're like, what are we going to do? Do you know? Have you seen what the police do? Where the fucking are you? Have you seen what the police are cooking? Can you smell what the Pentagon is cooking?

No, because we designed it that way. You won't know until it's done um we'll talk about that we'll talk about the uh continued fallout from donald trump's interview with a panel of black journalists and just how the republicans are making sense of it they don't seem to be unified quite yet on that. On racism or pretend. Well, yeah. I mean, it's just different ways of coping with their own racism. We'll talk about the food at the Olympics. We'll talk about the food at Taco Bell now being all of that. Plenty more. But first, Pallavi, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history?

Okay, this is a shameless plug. So I was looking for Connie and Ted because my dog rescue that I volunteer for, Hit Living Foundation, they name like dogs according to random things. So we'll have like the Harry Potter litter or like, you know, like litters of pups. And so I looked it up and i was like why is it connie and ted it looks like it sounds like hr people yeah they just named it after the restaurant again the seafood restaurant because like we're running out of names because we're in a crisis people adopt dogs we're running out of names there's not even ip to name them after it's like uh this is connie and ted's uh but the

dog shelters in hollywood are in the same book they're like yeah i don't know uh harold's magical purple crayon maybe okay maybe like some there's some tertiary characters from that universe they're scrambling like the mcu like yeah yeah. It's just naming extra. But yeah, so that's, I was like looking that up because I didn't know about that. I was like, why does this sound so weird? Because usually they're themed. But yeah, I guess we're just naming them after local restaurants. Yeah. Was one dog named Connie and Ted?

Yes. Or there were two dogs? Two dogs. Okay, that's good. What's this little puppy called? They're like sponsored. We have like ads like painted into their bag. Oh, yeah.

That's Dantana. Yeah. Yeah. I love Dantana. Max and Hermes. Okay. I'm actually writing these down because we are running out of names. Dantana.

Zanku Chicken. Obviously. Just for local spots. You know, just all local stuff. A, Zanku, chicken. Obviously. Just for local spots, you know, just all local stuff. We have to name each puppy one of the guys from Five Guys. Yeah. Nobody knew they had names.

They're also, the Five Guys are also Snap, Crackle, Pop, and then there's a couple more of their friends that are mixed in there. It was like Destiny's Child where they, like, three of them took off. I was like, who are the five guys? It's named after the guy who started it and his sons.

There you go. That's such a American father moment. We're all just five guys here. No, you're my dad. Father me. Five humble guys. Mentor me. No, we're just peers. Father me. We're just humble, five humble guys. Mentor me. No, we're just, we're peers. We're just five dudes just hanging out.

I need to go to school. He dresses younger than any of his kids. Yeah. What's something you think is underrated? The unsubscribe button. Okay, I've been going off on that because like I keep like I'm. Yeah, just unsubscribe because you can't do that on text messages or like random you know what I mean like there's so many things that are random where you just like can't spam

stuff where you can't unsubscribe so the ones that I can I'm like get me out of this hell and I just keep pressing it over and over again and it's so satisfying to be unsubscribed from an email list does it work so I I was I've been fucked up by the, there's that thing where they say, like, you can't even hang up on a spam caller because then they know you're alive. They're like, that's like a nibble when you're phishing. If you hit, like, deny, decline, call,

they're like, ha ha, we got a live one. And so... You can call them a scam, though, and then they'll hang up oh really they get scared right away you go hey are you a scam yeah and then they're like he knows back to the tunnels because like i know in gmail too sometimes like hey man you haven't like opened an email from this baby store in, like, seven years. Do you want to unsubscribe? And I'm like, oh, yeah, thanks. Wait, you were into baby stuff five years before you had a baby?

Like, when I was producing videos and stuff, I had to buy, like, a bunch of shit for set pieces and stuff, I remember. And it turned into one of those things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. The ones, the brands that I do fuck with baby-wise, I still yeah stay up on that shit yeah yeah all right unsubscribe all right i'm gonna i'm gonna go through and start unsubscribing from the ones i bet this feels very satisfying it doesn't always work i have um i'm on for my science life like a microbiology list from like decades ago and they won't let me off amtrak i think i can't find the

unsubscribe button from them but like the ones that you can like unsubscribe it's very satisfying you're like i did a task today right lose my number right aid if you can't ghost him ghost them you know what i mean yes exactly and there's definitely like apps that do that. But I'm always like, I'm sure I'm giving you something in exchange for. I know. And now we see your entire email box. And you're like, right, right, right, right, right. I'll just click them.

Yeah. Do you guys get any like stay on? Like, do you receive emails from like Trump or anything like that just to kind of see what's going on with the crew? Is that a caveat? Yeah. Just to see what he's up to. If you're MAGA curious,

if you still aren't sure... I don't know how he got my number, but he has some interesting things to say, guys. I feel like Jack is turning white. Yeah. I state at the beginning of every episode, today I am white.

Today I am white. White! Yeah. But I have gotten some good insights from some of his texts. I can't. I can't. I just like, I'm pretty good at getting mad at political. I can't. I just like, I'm pretty good at, I'm pretty good at like getting mad at political texts and emails.

So I'm like off of all of them. So like so far this election season, I did a good job last time. Yeah. Like all my unread texts are like, Hey, it's act blue. We will match your donation seven X times.

If you help Kamala Biden. I literally, Gavin Newsom is obsessed with me. That's like hot, Jack. That's like pretty hot. You guys would be such a power couple. Also, don't kiss and tell. Those are private texts.

Those aren't the same ones everybody else gets. His hair is wet for me? What does that mean? Greasy? We're like, we see him one day, his hair is dry. We're like, see him one day his hair is dry we're like oh no are he and jack okay i like i will hate text back to like volunteers and stuff for campaigns yeah i'll be like what like why is your person supporting this shit or if it's like somebody who's like really like right wing i'll be like what like why is your person supporting this shit or if it's like somebody

who's like really like right wing i'll just like go ham on them but like i think they've got i feel like they're like we have to not text her because then our feelings will get hurt right right we have to stay off that list the hardest one i've unsubscribed from a mailing list from ember the coffee cup that oh yeah that warms your coffee hot that it was like it's a good idea in theory didn't work out for me but are you a power user i just like ordered one and somehow accidentally clicked the wrong button and cannot unsubscribe i think it's so unfair when like you order something and they're like in order to get a discount you have to give us your email or like sign up for this thing yeah i'm like like i'm gonna unsub just save us the time like that's why save us the effort that's why i have fuck you promo at gmail.com that uh

And it's like, I got a private car for my burrito. Yeah, it was like inflation or something.

And it's like, but we have to get private taxis because we're working like a million. I mean, not me. I'm not working right now. But like we're working like a million jobs. And we're depressed. And like all we can do is get a taxi for our burrito. Working jobs, driving taxi for other people's burritos so that you can get a taxi for our burrito working jobs driving taxi for other people's burritos so that you can yeah you can order your own precious burrito yeah it's just

a taxi so it is like overrate and then they like jackie's my boyfriend always has an issue with this he's like why do i have to tip them the same like the same if they're bringing one bag and it's one stop versus multiple stops it's the same tipping paul it's like it was like the charges and the fees are like it doesn't make sense for the drivers no right you know no and the tipping doesn't make sense either like it's just weird but yeah it's almost like it's predatory for the almost it's almost like it's predatory for the people that have to work here. It's almost like that. It's very addicting. Because it's America. I'm enjoying my latte that I just touched before. Enjoy your latte and burrito.

Yeah. What a combo. Let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back to talk about The Rock. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the

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. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on.

From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast network is sponsored by diet coke and we're back we're back and yeah this one caught my attention too miles the the rock because i remember seeing the ads i think i think i saw like one of the ads did maybe one of

them went viral or was like what the fuck is this for the ufl or something the rock posted i think i think it was something the rock posted yeah well i thought you said you this caught your attention because america is currently flying their flags at half mast because the country we once knew has truly died yes duane the rock johnson apparently has no fucking power over young men to get them interested in enlisting in the army and he along with his minor league football team the ufl recently entered into an 11 million dollar marketing deal with the army for an ad campaign and it went absolutely nowhere apparently he only posted two out of the five ig posts in his contract and the ufl apparently is just a clown

show with like one-tenth of the viewers that college football has so the pentagon's like damn uh what are we doing here so they're looking to get like at least six million back from the rock and apparently this campaign went so poorly that an internal review in the pentagon showed that this whole campaign actually cost them 838 enlistments they lost 38 people because this is like incredible turn the rock turned heel for the army i fucking love this they didn't see it coming no he pulled out the chair okay also like i'm so sorry that the pentagon did not have enough intelligence to understand that this would happen but what is your whole thing pentagon isn't that your thing to know right this is like is like a 17-year-old idea. Like, this was supposed to happen before social media.

Because now, they clearly don't know where Gen Z is. They're on TikTok. They're not watching live B-grade football on TV. And this is, like, similar to, like, the National Guard. They spent $88 million on nascar sponsorship that also rendered fuck all in the number of people that actually enlisted but like this crisis is so bad but it's just it's compounded by the fact that the pentagon is barred from taking ads out on tiktok because you know because too many people in congress are like the chinese government will steal our

secrets if you even look at TikTok. So they're like, oh, it's us saying that? I thought it would be like the Chinese government being like, we're not going to fucking do your dirty work, assholes. They're like, go ahead, buy some fucking ads, just see what happens. But they're barred from that investment. So they're like, uh, NASCAR? This is like when people on the left are so far left, they're like conservative again, like they become anti-vaxxers.

Now the right is doing that. They're so far right, they're like conservative again, like they become anti-vaxxers. Now the right is doing that. They're so far right. They're like anti-army. Yeah. Um, I will say like, I have seen, I watch a lot of reality TV and I have seen a lot of ads for the army on like, like the worst reality TV shows on Peacock. And it's like, it very, like the types of ads I see on certain shows, I'm like, I know that they're going for a certain like demographic in terms of like like ability like I don't know it just seems like why would you put this on like the trashiest tv shows you know like my guilty pleasures yeah because like one of them is like I saw this one is like for the navy and it's like this navy special

forces guy and like they're like they're just like this like one is like for the Navy and it's like this Navy special forces guy. And like, they're like, they're just like this, like he comes out of the water and he's like, yeah, join up. He's like, and do things you can't even talk about. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like war crimes? No, like torture. That's where you go.

You're like, what do you like work at CIA Blacksite or something? What the fuck are we talking here? But it's more like, it's like classified secret missions. or something what the fuck are we talking here but it's more like it's a classified secret missions the other ones like are meant to like evoke like playing call of duty clearly because they're so fucking action-packed right it's crazy and i feel like they're all over those games right like aren't they partial sponsors of some of those games and like in the same way that they were for like top gun and all that shit like they i feel like they have partnerships or whatever. Probably. Because you wouldn't be able to like have all the, to quote my eight-year-old, weapon tree that they have in the show. So cute.

You know, like, isn't that part of the deal? I think so, probably. Yeah. I have to assume, and I'm not going to do any research to find out what if they start like like interacting with video games so that it's kind of like nba or nfl video games where you can like have specific war crime killers like in the game right yeah like nba actual people like the guy who killed osama just in there right right right oh cool i'm leon panetta this is so dope one of one of the ads that i saw it was like it was kind of like a hey like the army's for the woke mob too like it was like look look at all these like black and brown people working

in the army and like how it like got us where we are or whatever and it it was kind of crazy because like that was the one that I saw the most. But like a lot of these army ads, like those people, I assume they're actually in the army because they're terrible at speaking. Like they're awful at like being in front of a camera. And I'm like, who is this? That man looks scared. Like who is this convincing? Right. Because if he said the real reason he enlisted is because I've been, my socioeconomic possibilities are so limited by design in this country that my only recourse is to join this kill machine. Anyway. Yeah, we have fun.

That was the ad I might join, because I'd be like, wait a minute, am I going to die? This fucking rocks. You know what I mean? I was spending $2,000 a month on burrito taxis. So I had to enlist. $300,000 a month on burrito taxis. So I had to enlist. How many times do you think they have approached Mr. Beast to be like,

all right, all right, all right, new pitch, new pitch. You pay someone $300,000 to speed run an active war zone. What are we talking here? Well, let's plug your chocolate bars. Yeah. He's like a recruiter. He's like, I'm going to lock you in a basement unless you sign this. Right.

David. The Skibbity Toilet universe has like army branding, I'm sure, in its future. We'll see. We'll see how they, the Pentagon never goes away. You know what? Pentagon, bring us in. We got some ideas for you. Okay? We're like the madmen of the future.

Do you want to like invest invest in some improv teams? Yes. That could work. And develop some shows that may have been canned. Improv has more of a cult following than the military. So, yes. Definitely more than the CFL or whatever the fuck the Rocks. The UFO.

People are still tuning in to hear Matt Besser do improv. I'm telling you, who's tuning in to hear fucking, you know, Stavridis say something about the fucking military? None. Okay. Yeah. And it's just as financially exploitative. Yeah. Right.

All right. Let's move on. The big story as of Thursday was still Trump's Wednesday interview with three black women journalists at the, what was it, the college or the National Association of National Association of Black Journalists. Is that it? of... Black journalists? Is that it? I thought you were doing a bit. Why wasn't that at the top of your tongue, Jack? Why didn't you immediately know what that was? Are you not a fan?

Are you not a fan of that, Jack? Jack, state your race right now. State your race. I'm a white man. You guys get a spike in listeners. The way that I say that is normal yeah i come back on next time this is a right-wing podcast fully you guys are getting like army sponsorships i mean we're flirting you know we're like jd vance at a couch store but it's uh yeah there's still the mainstream republicans who are

like well that is not the republican party but trump seems to be spiking the football uh jd vance seems to think he nailed it he said he crushed it yeah wait what what if some republicans some mainstream republicans said about it like what are they how are some mainstream Republicans said about it? Like, what are they, how are they trying to like spin it? Well, like, for example, you have people like Lisa Murkowski, who was like, what's going on? What's he talking about? DEI, like kind of be like confused, not necessarily condemning. Then there were like in this Axios report, there were a lot of people who were going like, like anonymously saying like, it was awful, which is so brave that you're anonymously saying this. Other people are like it's I think Larry Hogan, who's probably like the most center Hogan's brother.

Yeah. Hogan's brother, the governor of Maryland, was like the least Trumpy Republican was like it. This was like unacceptable and abhorrent. But at the same time, like this is the party that you let this man in don't act stupid this is what this is you're doing for a while now so a lot of people are trying to save face i'm also pretty irritated with like how like left-leaning media liberal media is like just salivating over this to be like the republicans are in a panic over this like no they're fucking not they are just they are just posturing to try and save face because that's the most they can do other people have been more saying stuff like

well that's not how you're gonna win undecided voters like as like the spiciest criticism right jesse waters on fox like kind of did both i hate that guy and so does his own mother yeah exactly uh better homes and garden i think is what his grandfather was like the publisher of and really yeah yeah oh my god you better start in your home okay grandfather what the hell happened there yeah but like jesse waters was like i don't know if i would have said that was like the most he said but then wow he started being like slurs but then he's like used the actual slurs. Then they started going around like, what is African-American? Then started doing that whole shit.

And we're like, okay, so just shut the fuck up. I'm tired of hearing these people try and parse through like, what is Jamaican or black or not? Because this is just, again, Trump has just kicked off the new birther movement. Because a bunch of the people who are not pundits but are just like this sort of echo chamber online or people who write the dumb blogs and shit are all sort of lockstep and being like but i mean it is like doing it more like i don't know i'm just saying that's like that type of energy about it race analysis from white people is so funny i'm like you tell us the nuances of the different cultures there was one there was one where like trump reposted like a photo of like kamala as a kid like with her indian family like yeah sorry

she's like wow good to see you so proud of it it's like bro like if like in japan if i was wearing like a yukata or something i'm not like then being like let me fucking make sure i got a blunt hand like whatever the fuck i'm like with, with Jordans on or some shit. First of all, this man does not understand Indian people because, like, we love dressing up people of other races in our house. Have you seen white girls at weddings? We are putting their saris on, okay?

At his own wedding. Like, we fucking love, like, you're not gonna separate us with this bullshit. We love seeing, like, black women in saris. Like, we love seeing other seeing like black women and sorry it's like we love seeing other cultures and sorry so it's like even if you're like oh she's denying one or the other like posting like cute pictures of her celebrating this culture is not gonna like deny her history it just like underscores the rigidity of how they look at race in general

it's like what are what thing are you that isn't white now go over there with them we're like we would never commit miscegenation so we don't understand this we don't understand race mixing you have to pick check them out i don't know if you've heard we said there's a white genocide happening okay yeah that's what we're interested in that's those are the babies we're saving they don't understand interracial if it's not white with something else, you know? Yeah, true. They're like, wait, they do that?

I thought they were mad at each other. Are they allowed? Yeah. Huh. But it's brought the fact that Trump is racist back to the front and center of the mainstream media, which is where his candidacy started and seems to be. Yeah. That like love to play the hit. Yeah. He threw a perfect distraction bomb from him because like I was saying on the

Wednesday trending episode, this is, this was purely like people were like, Oh, he embarrassed himself. I'm like, he, he's turning up the base with this shit.

Yes. Exactly. He did what he intended to. And now they're all saying the same dumb shit so it's like at the same time it's like what's the point of even replicating yes water is wet trump is racist move like this is not news and wasting headlines and airtime over talking about like what a biracial person is this absurd i do think like the way to respond to that is to like post kamala dancing with like her sorority like

you know what i mean like she's clearly like black and has celebrated being black for like a long time and has participated in black culture so i feel like the way to like memefy it is to post her being cultural in both aspects like he's already doing the indian side like the duality of it all yeah yeah like that will like unite people behind her like quirkiness and her like you know like the stuff that gets memed online sure that they're so confused about like yeah but i think this is like sort of it it was more it turns up turns into somewhat of a blessing for trump because the conversation is like off of Kamala Harris and like that campaign and it's now back on him and what he's saying about her.

That's true. And that's something that I think they've been contending with the last week because they're like, we're not weird. We just like, yeah, that's upholstered things. I don't know. Whatever. You know what I mean? And I think that is sort of a gift.

I guess also there are people who are like being like wow i can't believe he went there but that just seems like the standard response for like rip all the racist shit he said all the time right yeah like when you have other things i think that are important to talk about too like you know like the delegates that are representing the uncommitted movement um you know like against against Biden's Gaza policy, like they're right now, they're asking the DNC if they can have a speaking time during the convention, like just a five minute slot. And it, and like with someone who was like a health worker who had just come back, like they just want to give some space to that person. And right now the DNC

hasn't had said anything back. The people who are, you know, organizing that movement are like really trying to get in front of Kamala Harris to be like, we need to have some kind of dialogue here. Like we just can't ignore this group of people. And many people, especially even if they didn't vote that way, just your basic polling shows this is an issue within the party that needs to be addressed and just doing the thing again to be like man and because it's also convenient for democrats be like wow trump's so racist what's wrong with the republicans and now we're here we're not talking about like other things like about what this you know the future of america can be outside of well it's not going to be trump do you think though that like because it feels like the discourse is like never going to be about these like specific things on like a large scale level like so like with the memes of like coconut tree and like brat and weird like those are all aesthetic things that take over like the mainstream discourse so like regardless i mean trump does like garner like all of the attention in his favor when he says something ridiculous and then it does take away from like the momentum of the democratic uh candidate or whatever but it seems like those details are never like if there's always going to be distraction you know what i mean like those

details are never going to be hammered out in the public square yeah i think well when you look at just even how the media like handles things even like when those like aid workers were killed in gaza that were like you know like like Oh, my God, volunteers from abroad are getting killed. That you and it's so quick. You know what I mean? So yeah, to your point, that appetite isn't there, especially from, you know, the upholders of the status quo and like sort of mass media for sure. But again, I think that's why a lot of people are just so like, man, like, can there are other so many other things to talk about? But this also dictates what people talk about. And so if now this is what people are talking about. And yeah, it's just the I think it's Trump doing his Trump thing, the media doing that, like it's sort of become reflexive at this point, like they're calling response to his racism yeah but like to the point where other people were like this just doomed donald trump i'm like this didn't doom him like no he's just saying this he came out saying mexicans are rapists like right yeah that was the

opener an escalator saying that before he even got to the mic and it got he's like they're all animals i don't think we talked about how david was of him to come down that escalator like you know what i mean like what an entrance yeah wow fake with fake audience there how can you be anti-drag and come down an escalator that way yeah well he doesn't know what a stunt queen is i read some analysis that was like the 2016 it seems like whoever the election becomes about loses like in 2016 it became about hillary and a lot of ways 2020 it was about like trump as a failed president and now i i think they're probably competing to make the election about about the other one i feel like this probably plays into the Democrats' ability to, yeah, not talk about Gaza or anything like that.

Just keep the focus on Trump and the Republicans and him being obsessed with, like, what race are you can, like, tie into, like, the weird, you know, part of their messaging. Which is unfortunate that that is like seems to be the strategy but i feel like they are going to continue to say as little as fucking possible of course because then you don't have to you don't have to contend with harder questions like about how do we fundamentally change like our social programs in this country just like let them get get them elected and then they're going to do the right thing. Then they'll do it. But did you hear what Trump said about biracials?

Right. I'm sorry. Biracials. What did you say? They're going to get elected and then extend Trump for another eight years to make sure they can keep him out there just talking shit so that they can, you know, as a foil,

like an NBA contract. They're like, Hey like hey can we get you under contract for another like tight four eight years i mean they really they really did do that like some like with like more local elections they did invest in like they like actually paid maga people they donated to their their support bolstered their complaints in order to like defeat them and it's like some of them didn't like did not end up the way they hoped they would you know what i mean like some of them did but like maybe it didn't have the overall effect they wanted but that's like all it is to them is like it's a way to stay in power yeah there's also like you

know i think recently vivek what ramaswamy also saying like, he kind of like was realizing. My man, my guy, Vivek. I know that guy. I grew up with, like not him, but like the stereotype of him, this man. Oh my God, so much energy. He's like posting stuff now. He's like, we gotta stop.

Like we need to actually talk about like policy now. He's like, it's not sticking that was covering for joe biden it's not sticking that she failed at the border it's like we need to find like we just we have to come up with people's like a vision for the future whatever you do do not talk about indian people do not talk about indian people do not talk about indian people please whatever did you see that like i don't know if you guys covered this but did you see when like ann coulter told him to his face that she wouldn't vote for him because he was indian and then later he had a debrief about it and it was like well you were a little bitch while she said it what happened like yeah it's just very funny like how like indian

republicans immediately turn it's like they're gonna come for all of us like what do you what did you expect you thought you were a white bitch no not even you Nikki Haley I don't think so if you had been at the center of this you would have been fucked like Francesca Ramsey always posts like on Twitter and Instagram like I didn't think the leopards would eat my face like just singing that on a ukulele for every time like minorities like the conservative machine came for me, but I was being good. Like when Tommy Lahren was like pro-choice and they ate her up. Like, yeah. Yeah.

The leopards ate my face. Great song. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

And Pallavi, are you keeping up on the Olympics at all? Yes. And okay, my favorite thing now, like obviously women's gymnastics is amazing. Women's swimming is amazing. Have you been paying attention to women's rugby? is fucking amazing oh my god literally there was one i forget i don't remember her name but she like literally there was like a fan cam of all of her stuff she was she like got tackled stood up and carried someone running with the ball like carry each other so much i'm like

why don't our sports carry each other first of all this is the gayest shit like why is this not promoted more during june because like all like queer like femmes would go crazy for it and second of all it's just like so insane and so awesome and all of the tiktoks that alana is posting because like people were calling her a man. People were calling her overweight. And I'm like, like I tweet, I was like, people are talking about a BMI.

I'm like, that bitch is a bronze medalist, baby. Like, like, like what are you talking? I don't know. It's so,

I love like now I'm like obsessed with what I'm like, can I see it? Because a lot of the appeal of these sports is it's not things that like a lot of America watches or attends live throughout the year like it's every four years that we all get like really tuned in but most people like we don't see like rugby all the time or like go to our local rugby games you know so now i'm like i want to go see rugby right i know right and yeah i want to see i want to watch more volleyball i want to watch more like badminton i like badminton is dope.

Badminton is very Indian. Indians love racket sports. Yeah, yeah. The racket, the racket sports, the lesser racket sports are maybe not the lesser, but yeah. Yeah, the more intense ones. Yeah. But the, yeah, I mean, I think the other benefit too is like you can at least like there's superlatives. You're like, these are the best people in the world it's not you're not seeing like the random like metric supplements kayak

fest 20 20 you know what i mean like these are the people who are like these are the best people in the world you're gonna see so it's at the highest level typically unless like someone you know you know super talented is like injured or whatever but i think that's the other benefit is like okay so this is like the best at shooting a little air gun with your hand in your pocket. I like that guy. That's still my favorite guy. This is breaking,

breaking news for Thursday is that Simone Biles just became the first woman to win two Olympic all around titles. I love her. Unbelievable. So cool. And then isn't Katie Ledecky about to be like the most decorated woman? Most decorated female Olympian of all time. That bitch is crazy.

She's like swimming extra laps just for fun after the races. She's just like so far ahead of them. She's like, maybe I'll take another round. Yeah. This is boring to me. Do you have any idea how easy this is? Wait, wait. Did you also see the Simone Biles, Michaela

feud? Yeah, back and forth. It wasn't Michaela Maroney. It was a different Michaela who had a real right-wing take. Trad wife aesthetic. Which is crazy.

Now that they've taken the abuse out of gymnastics coaching these kids aren't like tough anymore and simone biles was just like came at her when she said that a few months ago and now like the first post after they won gold as a team she like was like yeah i guess we're a a bunch of them quoted the thing that she said. Lazy gold medalists. Yeah, yeah. Anyways. Lack of talent, lazy Olympic champions was what hurt her.

And then the other Michaela Maroney was like, oh my God, I got to redeem my first name. Not me, not me. No, no, no, no, no. She's like, get her out. Michaela. I noticed, though, that a lot of what we were talking about. Also shout out chase Budinger.

Do you remember him? Miles from the NBA? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The dude,

a white guy who had like crazy hops and is now the USA beach volleyball. Yeah. I saw the story about him. Yeah, that was fun. But all these stories that we keep telling seem to be about the athletes, weirdly. And it seems like the Olympics, the whole kind of weird capitalist enterprise is doing a late stage or a this stage, whatever stage of capitalism we're in and just like not taking care of the thing that like the talent that drives the entire enterprise because the food in the olympic village you would think like that would be one thing they would go out of their way it's paris it's these are people who like need

fuel and like i remember like i read uh that book boys in the boat because i'm just so old but it was like about an olympic rowing team that went to the berlin olympics and like the food like the all those guys could like talk about was how good the food like how well fed they were at the olympic village granted they had all grown up in the depression so i think just like two steaks and french fries was like all you needed but the athletes are like the food here fucking sucks you guys like one shot put track and field athlete was like uh lip-syncing the phrase you disappointed me on tiktok while showing the camera something that looked like it was like rock candy but charred beef like it was like

rock candy crystal beef yeah crystallized beef and it was one of the first things simone bile said after the women's gymnastics team won gold uh during a press conference somebody was like yeah like so you must be enjoying the french cuisine, huh? And she said, here's the thing. I don't think we're having proper French cuisine in the village like you guys might be eating because you're outside the village. So you, the fucking media, are getting to eat better than us. The like high performance. The fucking reason y'all aren't here. Okay, okay, hold on.

Am I hearing that right now they would really, all these Olympic athletes could really use a private taxi for a burrito? Is that what you're saying? Okay, alright, okay. Hit us up, Uber Eats. Love your sponsorship. Not really. Fuck you guys.

Anyways, there's a lot of... You guys should do anti-sponsorship where each week you just say fuck you to a potential sponsor. Yeah. We kind of have. That would be fun. Yeah. Scared a few off. This week is not brought to you by these bitches.

Or these motherfuckers. Ember, they won't leave me alone. They haunted my child. they won't leave me alone but yeah the youngest member of the gymnastics team was like i don't think it's very good at least what we're having in the dining hall like it's fucking i don't know it's just so amazing like they're they're pouring over a billion dollars into making the river temper like the sand temporarily clean enough to swim in and then like that's all going to go away like it's just a temporary deal to make themselves look okay like a fucking temporary magic trick and they failed at it it was unsuccessful the triathletes

were like the water tastes like literal shit which is probably what it's full of did you hear what the belgian triathlete woman she said she said i felt and saw things that we shouldn't think about and describing her swim in the sand funny that's like existential horror movie that's like yeah you have to get so focused like oh that shit just oh fucking but we should be doing that to our olympic athletes i love this let them eat terrible food it's more relatable okay if they have if they're like training training training and then they have to deal with like the worst potato on the planet or if they have to like swim through a river of shit for approach to training where it's like we're gonna put you on a farm where you can barely survive a horse on an actual horse let me see some variations

okay or like one they buy on timu so it's like rickety like you don't know we don't get the best things it's not quite like they've been put back in time to like the days of like subsistence farming, but they're basically back to the days of like shitty college cafeteria. Like that feels like where they're at. Yeah, humble yourselves Olympic athletes. I'm tired of your bodies being a temple. It just seems like so much more and more money being poured into this and it's not going to the people who actually drive it it's going to the corporate sponsors well the other thing is crazy a lot of people are like accusing the like organizers of the olympics of like it's there's a two-tiered

olympic village basically because there's no air conditioning because they're trying to be greener but if you wanted for a fee you could pay for air conditioning so some obviously olympic association like national associations are able to foot that bill others are not there's like team great britain they had to bring their own cook out because they were like they were rationing like what is britain gonna cook more it was just mostly they're like come on they're like these fucking guys who lift weights there's not enough fucking protein protein not enough eggs and toast that's what we need the way that this is getting pitched in the mainstream media is that like uh is woke my virus there's not enough animals they didn't kill enough animals they're

too scared are you serious you serious? Yeah. That is insane. It can't be that. It's just got to be fucking corporate bullshit. I love that they're Disneylanding. What do they have? Fast lane passes for a steak? Genie pass? Yeah.

Oh, you want to take a shit? Well, you can take a genie pass because there's not eight people in line. You can just do it in the river because nobody cares. No. Legitimately eight people in line u.s tennis player coco goff this is a quote from that uh a ford's article u.s tennis player coco goff lamented how she and nine other women shared two bathrooms in the fucking olympic village that's how she's like an internationally like she's a superstar multi multi-millionaire like superstar and she's like they're just making

her sleep on cardboard beds in the village again like i get the appeal that it's like it's kind of cool that like they're having to live through shitty conditions to win these medals but like when you look at the amount of like the fucking American Express employees and like board members who are being like probably ferried around in ambulances to cut through the traffic. So watch these people perform for them. Yeah, exactly. It's very much the worker owner class dynamic where it's like, well, we own the games. worker owner class dynamic where it's like, well, we own the games.

Yeah. Yeah. You, the very people whose literal physical labor and physical exertion that we count on to sell these sponsorships to, you can eat crystal beef and an old egg. My shit, literally in the river.

And you can wait in line for seven hours to try and use the bathroom while we eat fucking moules frites or whatever you know our steak au poivre in a really wonderful white tablecloth setting what the fuck you're in france protest that's what those people do take in the culture fucking burn some shit down you know what i mean they probably yeah go to the streets burn some shit down can you imagine i wonder what what kind of secret police force they have. They're like, not a lot of people are making noise in the Olympic Village, right? We don't have to put down any kind of uprisings.

Yeah. They complain about the booth again. And then the firefighters are like, we're on your side. Yeah. It's Crystal Booth. Oh, okay. Crystal Booth. Well, Pallavi, what a pleasure having you on the Day of the Zeitgeist, as always.

That went by so fast. It was so fun. Where can people find you and follow you and all that good stuff? Follow my Olympic journey at Paula V Ganalen. It's mostly me on the couch being like, I can do that. You know what I mean? At P-A-L-L-A-V-I-G-U-N-A-L-A-N, everywhere. I am currently unemployed, so I got to get famous.

And you're just going to have to do that for me. Okay? You guys, people, you better follow me. I also don't want to work for it. So just make it easy. We also run a monthly show called Facial Recognition Comedy at the Comedy Store.

The next one is August 20th. And I think the one after that is September 20th. We get really dope lineups. It's in the belly room. It's super fun. It's packed out, uh, come through.

And then I'm going to be like perform. I, I'm doing some like festivals and shit this year. So keep an eye out. I'll be going to different cities. I'm going to Chicago this month and we'll be doing some shows there. So yeah, I'll be everywhere.

Amazing. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying okay on this discourse there is i have two tweets one tweet is roywood jr who is amazing quote tweeted the trump interview and was like we now know kamala's brave story when did the rest of you turn black? How old were you? Where were you when the blackness finally took over your body? Share your stories. This is a safe space. Hashtag when I turned black. And then at Bard Rock Cafe, which should give you a hint about what this tweet is going to be about, said, so Simone Biles jumping approximately seven to eight feet above the ground 12 feet including her height means we now know her strength score in dnd a creature in dnd 5e has a vertical jump of three feet plus strength mod so

she jumped more than seven feet that's strength of 20 fam uniting uniting nerds everywhere there it is miles where can people find you is there work media you've been enjoying yeah find uh me at miles of gray on twitter and instagram the basketball podcast uh the number one basketball podcast which is named behind the other number one basketball podcast but this one is called miles and jack i'm at boosties that's our basketball podcast you can check into number one basketball podcast with the word boosties in the title 100 hosted by a biracial black and asian man um you have to guess which one's which and we don't we don't say one of us is one of us is black and the other one's asian and one of us

lies and the other tells the truth you You have two questions you can ask us. And you could also, if you like trash reality, like Pallavi does, and we all do to kind of help, you know, just treat our wounds of living in this world. You can find me on 420 Day Fiance talking about 90 Day Fiance.

Piece of media. Like this was like a real, I saw of, this is so relatable as i think anybody who grows up playing uno with your family like when you're young there's that moment where an adult like just starts clean just starts cleaning your ass out like you they're like they got seven cards and like skip to reverse draw four blah blah blah and this is like the moment where a mom is about to play her uno reverse to like end the fucking game.
