revealing about who i am right now uh God, I have been Googling. Okay, so I Googled GIF of a black woman fighting a white man. Just to get yourself ready for this. A GIF that I really need on my phone. Wait, is this one of those moments where you've seen a GIF and then you're trying to find it again or you were just trying to summon something? I was trying to find the specific, like, I've started going on dates with a man who is white.

So I was like, ah, this is appropriate. I need to get this gif. Like something to text him? Yeah. I would be like, this better not be us. Or like, you know, like a threat. Oh, yeah. You don't want this smoke.

Free smoke. Lacey, what's something that is overrated? Oh, something that is overrated right now. I would have to say, oh, gosh, it's music that I just am so tired of hearing on the radio. Mumble rap. It's so bad to say that. It's so bad to say because I love trap music and stuff, but I'm really tired of mumble rap it's so bad to say that it's so bad to say because i love trap music and stuff but i'm really tired of mumble rap anyone in particular oh all the lil's that xx tenacion

that fucking uh domestic abuser yeah he's crazy as fuck he's a fucking crazy domestic abuse do you know the migos jumped him right i heard about Yeah. And then he put up a video online and he was like, how are you guys going to jump me? But y'all didn't shoot me, though. Like he was mad that they didn't shoot him. Oh, man. He's troubled. I just kind of want. I like all the Cheeto braids.

And I just think that we could calm it down a little bit. You're not here for a little Lucifer, vert little lucifer as as we all know what that means i'm good on that i could do with more kendrick lamar's and like maybe i'm getting older maybe that's it damn uh but now that i turn on the radio back in my day what about exo tour life did you like exo tour life as a song no wow i was saying all my friends are dead push me to the edge it was comedic it was funny i was never like you know what this is what music has to be i think that's the thing with mumble rap it's like a guilty pleasure it is because like they're fun to just kind of be like hey yeah yeah if i'm in the mood

but now i turn on the radio and it's all mumble yeah i'm not like headphoning it we're like leave me alone i have to listen to my little pump right now and just get in the zone. That does not happen. Me and my grandma take meds. Lil Pump is where it crosses the line for me. I just can't. I can't get into Lil Pump. You don't do meds with your grandma? Yeah, exactly. It's been a while.

What is something you think is underrated? Underrated right now? What am I in love with? Kesha. I'm going to throw it to Kesha. I feel like Kesha's hella underrated i feel like she got swept under the rug for the me too movement when she really put her career on the whole line yeah um and then like her her newest album is not sophie now we're talking about this

earlier it wasn't getting a lot of love and i think she got more love you know it's funny too a lot of guests came in here like especially right around the time it came out and they were always putting that up as their underrated was their album. Yeah. I think Salma Giorgio and a few other people, too. So the story is that she was sexually assaulted by Dr. Luke. And then Sony wouldn't let her out of her contract with them and, like, made her make albums with him. Yeah.

And Sony didn't take any heat for that either. Like, normally a company would take a lot of heat socially i guess it was just kasha i don't know i think it could just be different times too like if that was happening now i'm sure it would be much harder for them to kind of act like well hey we're just uh we're just making sure people honor the contracts kind of thing and like hiding behind the contract because i feel like that was the defense and that's our lawyers right they're like this're like, this is, you know,

this is the agreement, but who knows if that happened in 2018, I think it'd be a different story. I hope it'd be a different story. Right. Should have been a different story when it happened in the first place. And I feel like a lot of people like me probably were only vaguely aware of the story.

Like I knew there was a dude named Dr. Luke who had assaulted her, but I didn't know that Sony specifically. I feel like the very specific, like, that this massive corporation made her work with him and continue working with him is maybe an underrated part of the story. For sure. That they have, you know, millions and millions of dollars in the bank that they've, like, spent trying to keep that not part of the story.

Like, last night night kesha performed at the grammys and we're going to talk about the grammys but it was clear that there was some significance in her song and you know there was a really cool speech by janelle monae right before she performed and but nobody was like and fuck sony and in fact sony like came out and uh tweeted at the time uh during performance, all love. And then deleted it real quick. Right. And then deleted it. It was like, oh, is that not appropriate to just be like, ha ha, we got away with it. Right.

Who is this intern? Right. Take it down, Jessica. All right. Let's get into format. We're trying to take a sample of what people are thinking and talking about right now, today, at this moment, at the moment we record it. And we like to start out by asking our guests, what is a myth? What is something that people are talking or thinking about that they are wrong about? So my myth is going to come from people judging me about this, but I turned the Amber Alerts

off on my phone. I know, I know. I turned them off because they were were getting on my nerves i can't believe you but this may overshadow me not getting a flu shot for the zeitgeist probably not and you know five percent of kids are found through the amberlets on your phone and everyone gets them and less than five percent recorded are actually discovered from your phone look what's the last time you saw a gray nissan i drive a great it's always a great don't put me on trial right now wait if you drive a great nissan i'm gonna start looking at you

different we know that's an abductor car you got that centra green honda's also an abductor car i must i must identify with a super producer nick stump Stumpf was saying that he always seems to get like alerts that a gold car. And I feel like I've seen so many alerts that a gold car, which you'd think would stand out. I feel like it's always Saturn's. Right. Yeah. That's an adductor car, too. It's not vans anymore, guys.

It's not the white van like back in the day. Because people just are automatically looking at them for children. Like they're looking in the window like, all right. You cannot be a grown man and drive a van without having kids. It's too hot. You can't even be like, I work in production. I have to carry a lot of gear. Like they're like, let's get some windows in there.

Wait. So I'm sorry. Just so I can hear you out before, you know, people start coming. I don't know. Who knows? I mean, look, we did it. But is it because you don't want to be annoyed by the amber alerts or you're just like this is futile so i'm not gonna engage in it well see i don't want to motivate people not

to have it like other like i think sometimes rules are for other people like if everybody else keeps doing it i don't have to so if y'all keep your amber alerts on and keep looking for it's the same logic people used to not vote well everybody else gonna vote i don't need what we're doing if i vote come on don't do this to me i vote we'll drop that uh just googled amber alerts pointless uh and i got a cnn story from 2013 amber alert successes more than 650 kids rescued so okay well they said 38 of those kids were from the amber alerts on your phone amber alerts in general are successful but the ones that hit your phone got it i see as opposed to the ones where it's like broadcast on the highway yeah and so everybody's already there yeah yeah the phone

thing seems inefficient at the very least. It's not something that I think we should take away because if it's one kid who gets found from the phone, that's great. So y'all keep looking for them. Yeah. But I won't. You're just not here for that?

Yeah, now I feel like I gotta turn them back on. Is it merely because it's so intrusive? Because yeah, if you don't have your phone on set, it will fucking cause a heart attack because it's loud and it's like... And I feel like I must live in a bad neighborhood. We looked it up. It's like 18 sexual predators or registered sex offenders per mile.

Because my phone is always going off on Amber Alerts. Damn. Really? Because I always get snatched. I'm like, I got to move out the ghetto. So are they targeted that specifically? Like geographically? Yeah, they like geographically yeah because i feel like the ones that i get are always like in irvine or something yeah and i don't live in irvine for

listeners now that i can't speak to for sure if but i know to a certain extent they're obviously uh targeted geographically but i feel like i get more than other people maybe they just know that you are they're like she could be like a crime fighter if she wanted to be. She's got that vigilante vibe to her. Taking down the PC 290s. Oh, yes. People code 290, the sex offenders for all my lawyers out there.

Weird that you know that. All right, let's get into the Grammys, you guys, because those were on last night. Low rating. Sorry. I mean, look, it's weird. I'll tell you why. So before everyone starts thinking I'm a sex offender, when I was lobbying, we had to have a full-on sexual harassment training, and the person doing it was a lawyer, and she

casually was like, yeah, and it won't matter unless you're PC290, and you just glazed over, and I was like, I'm sorry, what was that? He's like, oh, I'm sorry, That's legal speak for a sex offender. And I thought that was such a nuanced way to say sex offender. That's why I remember. Anyway, get the spotlight off me. What about those Grammys, man? Spotlight.

Hey, Spotlight was a cool movie. All right. So Grammys, you guys. There was a lot of political intrigue around this. This morning, the big headline i'm seeing a lot is that it was the most low ratings that the grammys have ever gotten uh drudge had that as his main story for the day grammys crash and burn which i expect every single like live event or you know awards show to be the worst that has ever happened just because

people are cord cutting. And for sure. Yeah. Especially something like this that breaks down so conveniently into YouTube clips. It just feels like, yeah, I wouldn't expect that many people to actually be watching it on CBS. But so, yeah, apparently, whether it's because of a long term trend or because people objecteded to the political content, that is the implication that the Drudge Report wants us to take away. Oh, because too many liberal artists were using a soapbox?

Yeah, with Kendrick Lamar's political statement and the fact that Hillary was involved in a sketch where they were reading the the fire and fury which is amazing yeah which was kind of funny i mean it was a solid sketch the premise being that um next year the grammy for uh audiobook presentation which is a grammy is definitely going to go to whoever reads fire and fury and they tried different people out and the punch punchline was they had Hillary Clinton reading some of it. But by far the best moment is Cardi B was reading it. Queen Cardi, first of her name. Right. I think we have audio of that.

Cardi B. If Trump was not having his 6.30 dinner with Steve Bannon, then more to his liking, he was in bed by that time with a cheeseburger. Why am I even reading this this i can't believe this i can't believe that he really this how he lives his life yo the video that's not even written because you can tell she's looking off camera like at the producer or whatever can't believe you really can't believe it yeah or she's the greatest actress ever right and if she is either way uh cardi you're Yeah. Or she's the greatest actress ever. Right. And if she is, either way, Cardi, you're always winning. Yeah, she's...

Despite not winning a fucking thing yesterday. Right. So that was the other kind of reaction that I saw is that they did not, and this is shocking for the Grammys because the Grammys always gets it right. They always get it right. Right. I mean, we count... I just don't listen to music until the Grammys happen for that year.

And then I'm just like, all right, whoever the Grammys gave it to, that was the best music of the year. I listen to one album a year. Right. I mean, we count. I just don't listen to music until the Grammys happen for that year. And then I'm just like, all right, whoever the Grammys gave it to, that was the best music of the year. I listen to one album a year. Right. And it was whatever the Grammys say is the album of the year. Right. And then I wait 365 days. Here we go, Bruno Mars. A album about like sex music for somebody who's never had sex.

We've established before on the Daily Zeitgeist. He just has that energy man he seems like a a fun girl in high school he's just like hey guys what's up like i don't know he just seems like a a fun gal but not not the dude who i want singing my like sultry music about uh no versace on the floor no i don't buy it not accessible to me. How about like an old towel from the trunk of my car on the floor? Target on the floor. Yeah, exactly. Massimo on the floor.

What's the one Target brand that they do for towels? Anyway, that brand. On the floor. The show opened with a Kendrick Lamar performance that was really dope. There was a part where – so at one point the screen flashes this is a satire by Kendrick Lamar, which was weird because it was like an ultra-serious performance. But super producer Nick Stump pointed out that immediately after that, The Edge and Bono like strode out on the stage, which I don't know. Like being the most self-serious people in the world, it was just funny to imagine that he was just being like, this is the satire. These guys coming out and thinking that with their rock and roll music, they can solve everything that he's rapping about. But they used to be a band with a message.

Right. They did. And now Bono travels. They still have a message. We just don't want to hear it. Right. I guess. But I mean, like, you know, back in the day when U when you two first came out, like they were they were good with their protest music. And we were kind of talking about how they sort of lost touch, I guess, over the years,

especially when Bono forgot how to count in Spanish. Also, what do you say? In one of the songs, he's like, uno, dos, tres, catorce. Yeah, that's right. Fourteen. Fourteen. One, two, three, fourteen. Bro, you missed eleven fucking numbers in between.

He was going zero to a hundred. I just remember when Colin Farrell, I think, was on SNL one year pretending to be it, and he just leaned into that soba. He's like, catarse. It was like the best fucking sketch. But for Spanish speakers out there, we're like, something is wrong here. And they're proud. Look, who knows? There might be a hidden message in there that I totally missed, but based off what I'm hearing now.

So Bruno Mars basically swept. He had the song of the year, the record of the year, which are two separate things. Record, I guess, is more for production and stuff. Song is like songwriting. He won both of those. He won album of the year. I don't know anybody who was like, that was a great album,

the Bruno Mars album. But he defeated Kendrick uh we've talked before the Grammys never get anything right um and in fact just like all you have to do is look back at some of their recent work uh they've continuously like last year they gave it to Adele over Beyonce uh they love just giving the award to middle ofof-the-road pop artist over Beyonce and Kendrick. You say that over Adele? You say middle-of-the-road pop artist over Adele? I'm sorry.

No, I love Adele. You're from the Adele hive. Seems like a lot of fun. She's very smart, and I cry every time I hear her music Great voice But you know Terrible choice in football teams Right

She supports Tottenham That's a whole other issue Okay But the album of the year though How the I don't know I look at that Album of the year

Yeah Damn is like gonna go down As a great Damn or Awaken My Love That fucking Childish Gambino album Was fucking insane to me and so is damn i don't man i don't know that this is the thing i think we're saying too before the show are we even surprised anymore like i don't even know if it's worth getting like upset because

the grammys haven't been shit for a long time steely dan won for album of the year over radio heads kid a and the marshall mathers lpely Dan, like, this was them coming back together after, like, 15 years and just being, like, old white dudes, you know, who, like, were getting back together one last time in 1988, the year of, like, Metallica and Guns N' Roses. Jethro Tull, the flute, like, rock band, won for band won for metal album of the year. It's just like they are amazing

at getting things extremely aggressively wrong. You just have to look at the committee. When everybody's holding it down for the AARP or when everyone's voting looks like they were at the Byron Nelson this year. They're not going to understand albums like Awaken My Love and

like Beck. Beyonce lost to Beck last year. Right. So. Two years ago, but yeah. Or two years ago. Two years ago. You're right.

What do we do? You know, I think we just got to stop. I mean, SZA fucking didn't win new artist of the year. Yeah. Jay-Z got shut out. Which I understood that. Jay-Z getting shut out. Why?

Because you agree with. You don't get no awards for cheating on Beyonce. I don't care how good this album understood that. Jay-Z getting shut out. He cheated on Beyonce. You don't get no awards for cheating on Beyonce. I don't care how good this album is. That whole album should have been contrition. If the album was just him crying for 12 tracks, maybe. I'm sorry, B. Yeah, he was still trying to seem cool and shit. I'm like, nah, fam, you cheated on Beyonce.

No awards. It could also be because he also just doesn't fuck with the Grammys anymore anyway. He refused to perform on the Grammy stage. So he has a very tortured relationship with the Grammys. Because he recognizes that they never give hip-hop – Yeah. In 1991, they gave Album of the Year, I think, to Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff instead of Public Enemy. They just traditionally will go with whatever the whitest version.

Yeah, but I mean to give them credit though, this is like Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff did really help to mainstream hip-hop like in the early 90s. I think that's a contribution people overlook a lot. But they're like the politics of respectability kind of hip-hop. Like we don't curse and we're like – Sure, and I think that's his thing. politics of respectability kind of hip hop like we don't curse and we're like sure i then i think that's his thing but you can't actually take away the fact that back then like will actually had abilities as a lyricist like that storytelling rap style he was actually pretty good and jazzy jeff is actually a really good dj like i think we look back and we're like man y'all are corny

yeah kind of just we look i mean i owned will 2k i ain't gonna lie yeah i'm just saying that culturally uh when you look back, there's a lot of people who are releasing the greatest albums of all time in their genres, and they're giving it instead to... And also, when you look at the winners, 11 of the 84 winners last night were women. Only 11 of the 84 were women. Right. And then the head of the recording academy had some real boneheaded shit to say after the awards because they're talking about, what do we do about women in the recording industry? He said, I think it has

to, and this is a quote, I think it has to begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts and their souls, who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, who want to be producers, who want to be part of the industry on an executive level to step up because I think they would be welcome. So it's a matter of women not.

They don't want it. That's why. They don't want it hard enough. Oh, they're not trying to, you know, fucking navigate a fucking like misogynistic system of the recording industry. How do you step up when you're being stepped on? Yeah. Right. Like get up from down there.

And I guess that just shows you how tone deaf the Grammys are in general. Like that's the guy running point. And he's like, you know, I think. And I guess that just shows you how tone deaf the Grammys are in general. Oh, for sure. That's the guy running point. And he's like, you know, I think women, I guess they don't want it. I don't even see them around. Yeah. They definitely have a, so, I mean, I think they tried to dodge a bullet by shutting Ed Sheeran out of some of the key categories because they knew that he would have won, basically, if they had just given him as an option to the recording academy but you know they still have a problem and they probably need to replace that dude with like do what the oscars

just did where they uh realized that oh shit all of our awards are going to things that 80 year old white men like and nothing else Nothing else is getting properly recognized. And the other reason we're glad Jay-Z got shut out is because he needs to stop talking to our president about things like black unemployment. I mean, come on. He needs to accept the things that the president is doing for the Africanrican-american community in this country someone is going to hear this clip out of context for the first time be like what the so there was a back and forth where trump was like someone should tell jay-z that black unemployment is at its lowest uh this is part of a long trend like many of the things that

trump is taking credit for this is part of a long trend, like many of the things that Trump is taking credit for. This is part of a long trend that was started during the Obama administration. And, you know, he just hasn't been able to completely fuck up yet. So. Well, it's also part of Trump's long tradition of only clapping back at people of color who have an opinion about his work. That's right. That is right. I mean, because let's remember, Eminem literally ripped his butthole out. Right. Lyrically. And we didn't hear shit. Right. That is right. talking about like you know in terms of the the stakes with employment in this country it's that uh black unemployment is disproportionately higher to other ethnic groups and that's right that's the issue that we're trying to illuminate it doesn't matter what historically where it's at

right it's like it's nearly twice as high as white i think it's just three times as high as uh asian unemployment yeah so uh also i mean van jones's's question to Jay-Z in the first place was saying, shouldn't we give him credit for black unemployment being at the lowest rate? So, I mean, it was acknowledged that had been stated. Jay-Z was making a more nuanced point. And then Trump clearly either hadn't seen it or just uh assumed that nobody would actually watch it and so he came back i think trump must have a secret account where he's just on black twitter let's find out what black people that's how he figures out who to clap back at for the drag yeah jay-z was making a nuanced point and Trump. Trump just said, oh, this black man is talking spicy.

He does not like. Let me get on my Twitter. Being addressed by. Yeah, ask Colin Kaepernick, ask Jamel Hill, ask fucking just April Ryan, ask anybody. Every one of his public feuds. Yeah. All right. We're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian,

now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away.

I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds. Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared.

And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades.

It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So we wanted to start off with there's been some Benghazi news over the weekend. We had mentioned that there were some assault and sexual misbehavior claims coming out about Steve Wynn at the end of last week. Um, it's pretty dark, the stuff, masseuses and, you know, beauty technicians that worked at his hotel who, like, it was such a known thing that getting an appointment with him, like, would make people physically ill and they would, like, have to, like, go hide in closets because they knew what an appointment alone in Steve Wynn's office meant. It meant that you had to have sex with Steve Wynn.

So, yeah, that's terrible. And it seems like it was just an ongoing, horrifying issue. And he is coming out and being like, this is preposterous in typical, like, 80s movie villain style. He just looks like a bad guy. But yeah, so some broader context is, you know, in the aftermath of the Weinstein revelations, there were a lot of calls for the Democrats to return money that was contributed by Weinstein and that he helped fundraise because he was involved somewhat in democratic fundraising, right? Yeah. So now we have Steve Wynn, who it turns out is the – what is he?

The head of – The finance chair. The finance chair of the RNC. So like he's been connected to – He's the party's money guy. Right. He's been connected to – He's the party's money guy. Right. He's been connected to – Give all the money back.

All of the money that they've been raising. But the crazy thing is there's – dude, the GOP, it's been fucking really quiet on that side. This is the problem with Democrats too. Very quick to be like, okay, we're wrong. Let's get rid of it. We're done. Blah, blah. They did give that money back, right?

Yeah, they did. I mean – And they don't give it back, by the way, to Wein the way to weinstein no no they all just donate it to charities and a few actual uh i think congressmen the gopi have given the money back but it's wild how there hasn't been this sweeping same kind of energy when it's their own yeah that they're like oh we got a clean house it's just like oh fuck it well just start mumbling to themselves the republicans have never been about the moral high ground they don't know of course it's just like oh fuck it well just start mumbling to themselves the republicans have never been about the moral high ground they don't give a fuck it's not surprising and now they don't have to you can literally do anything under trump's presidency and we've become so accustomed to it

like even mingazi it's like you're pressed now for being like a creep or a sexual assaulting you know man is like what one bad day right it used to get dragged for months and now there's just so much news that i mean seven people the this was on the uh show love it or leave it over the weekend somebody was pointing out yeah well i don't think we can call it a reckoning because like seven people have lost their jobs it's not it's not like a whole like nationwide reckoning when only seven people have lost their jobs. Wait, what do you mean? Like that's such a small beginning. Oh, right.

I mean, it's the same thing with race relations. Like when when like three black people got TV roles, all the white men were like, Hollywood is squeezing us out. I'm like, have you looked at billboards? Have you driven down Sunset Boulevard and just looked at the sheer amount of white people? You're mad because the Wayans brothers got a show? Right? Are they really taking a check from you? Yeah. Well, and it's funny, too, because you can also see this sort of like this weird victimization attitude even with Larry Nassar last week.

Because there are like a lot of conservative people were trying to come at the judge for grandstanding. Right. It was like, dude, this dude is a fucking serial monster. Right. He got his. Yeah. And as well he should have there was nothing i mean sure maybe it might have been outside of the norm of what's traditionally done but the fact that she let every single victim say something that they needed that needed to be said

and then she told him how it was in his sentencing that's not grandstanding my man that's called that now i mean there's a level of pettiness that i appreciate right she definitely could have just given him the 175 years and moved on. But she was like, no, let me tell you about yourself. And you're ugly. Right. And she really went off on him. The thing that I had heard was that this was unprecedented and like an overstepping of judicial precedent.

But a lawyer actually tweeted us and was like, no, this isn't that uncommon, actually. Like judges do this all the time at sentencing. Like, that's kind of what the sentencing is for, for the judge to present their point of view on the behavior. And, you know, the fact that she made eye contact with him while dominated like patriarchal cultures, female anger terrifies men and they don't know what to do with it. And they will make up illnesses. Hysteria. Yeah. They've they're suffering from hysteria there.

They need to go see a doctor to show them how to masturbate or whatever the fuck was happening in the early 20th century. Yeah, it's just a thing that people have a hard time dealing with. And it's so clear because I think Larry Nash in that letter literally said, hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. Exactly. That whole shit embodies everything that's fucking wrong with this conversation. Right. So see you later. Right.

Hope they don't put you in gem pot, my man. Oh, my man. Ooh. Yeah, did she put put him in gem i doubt i mean that's a death sentence right that would just be i mean that would be peak petty though guess where you're going you're going to sing sing and we broadcasting this live right now for all the criminals they know you come in. Equally important to the Republican Party, Scott Baio, the one celebrity in quotes that Donald Trump could get to speak on his behalf at the Republican National Convention. been swept into the Mengazi reckoning because Nicole Eggert, his co-star, the young woman who like played the girl who he was basically a father figure to in the show. He was like her nanny and, you know, parental person, even though he was like a hot 25 year old dude was I think that's an accurate description of the premise of that show it's like he's handsome and cool but he's also her parent yeah cool well how wacky uh turns out

that he was having a sexual relationship with her was 25 and he has come out and claimed it was 100 percent lies. And, you know, without all kinds of documents, documents and said that this is something that had been alleged before. And he doesn't know why she continues to bring it up. But I don't know. We'll just keep an eye on it, I guess. I tend to believe that she is telling the truth, because why the fuck would she bring this up if it weren't true? Of course. I don't know why she keeps bringing it up.

Maybe because it's true? Who knows? if it weren't true um of course i don't know why she keeps bringing it up maybe because maybe because it's true or who knows when she was 14 that's such a weird power dynamic right also what's crazy is like in that facebook live like his wife is like recording him yo that's like you can hear her like off camera giving him directions and shit like oh that's what a position to be in she she need that check though she can't have his career messed up what career that's true i don't know what scott bell does for money anymore i mean he might well he won't get a metamucil commercial in a couple years no i mean he's mostly visible for being like a fox news contributor for being like a guy in hollywood who all right chachi he's

like social media is unkind to people like me, but I'm still like still out here. So, yeah, well, we'll keep an eye on that. And Woody Allen, who we've kind of known about for a while, it now seems like there's just been a sea change in the way people are reacting to him. people are reacting to him um you know as recently as months ago uh kate winslet was saying that you know she thinks woody allen is a woman on the inside the way he directs people and you know come on kate come on kate a woman a Right. And then but since then, like she was at a awards show in the past couple of weeks and was talking about how horrible she felt about making those comments and that she had worked with a certain person who has been alleged to have been involved in abuse. So I think a lot of this stems from a interview with CBS given by his stepdaughter. Dylan Farrow asks the pretty valid question. You know, people say that it's unlikely that he would commit this, but the argument that they make is that she was brainwashed by her mother in a divorce.

And she's like, how far-fetched is that she was brainwashed by her mother in a divorce. And she's like, how far-fetched is that? That's a pretty convoluted story that there's brainwashing. That's a story a man comes up with. Right. She was brainwashed by a divorced mother. I don't know. Woody Allen's been getting kind of like an easy break when it comes to all the Me Too stuff.

I think that's because he's older and creepy. So people are like, yeah, you're creepy. Or maybe they feel like, well, we've already talked about Woody Allen or something because like, right. It all did come to light. And then society just sort of chose to like ignore it because apparently he's just been making a movie every year for the last many years. Yeah. So he clearly hasn't stopped his output. a movie every year for however the last many years yeah so he clearly hasn't stopped his output people just made their peace with the fact that he was a creepy sex crim years ago and been like

yeah we we let that guy make movies that's his brain and i think kate winslet literally said something to the effect of like i don't need to know everything and blah blah blah like sort of separating the art from the artist sort of thing right and now that's just not how things are working anymore and then his movies were still critically acclaimed i feel like that was the same thing when gabrielle union came out to speak about rate parker rate park oh if that is a floridian slip nate parker oh um that was not on purpose damn that's a brand um damn um she came out and spoke about him but she is a rape survivor and like what she said about him was so vague because i think she thought that like birth of a nation was going to be up for all these oscars and she kind of didn't want

to ruin her own career and at the end of the day like so this was the director of birth of a nation it was getting a lot of awards buzz and the accusations against the director right kind of deaded the buzz a little bit yeah and he had assaulted her or no no she was just a previous rape survivor uh in like a very grisly horrible situation like she was working at a payless and was like raped at gunpoint. It was awful. But yeah, I think in the same kind of vein of Kate, she didn't come out supporting Nate,

but she also wasn't damning him because I feel like it is a weird position to be in as a woman if Woody Allen's getting critically acclaimed for all these movies and stuff, and now what do you do? Well, that's just the weird decision people have to make when they have to think about their careers or they want to have some integrity. And it's a very weird spot because that's inextricably tied to their longevity as an actor. Right? It's expensive.

That you can't just be principled and still work. That you even have to begin going like, oh, well, shit, what do I do? I don't want to fuck this up. But also this is wrong. I think that's the kind of changes we're trying to make so people don't have to be in a position like that anymore. So his past two projects, he made a miniseries slash like streaming service TV show for Amazon and is now making a movie with Amazon Studios. Interestingly enough, he was lured to Amazon Studios by the guy who was heading Amazon Studios who had to step down because of being a sex crimp.

Creep squad. Yeah, creep squad. So that might not be lasting too much longer. He's currently working on a project called A Rainy Day in New York, which, as our writer J.M. McNabb points out, is like an online woody allen title generator that he's just using at this point because a rainy day in new york is like that's a fake woody allen movie title it is so just lazy uh so people are wondering if that's even going to get released yeah i mean i think contractually they said they'll have to but it doesn't mean they have

to put any money behind it they could just just let it die on Amazon Prime or whatever. So, yeah, it seems like things are finally happening to him. People were people have been wondering what was going to happen with him. And we have actually gotten some comments from people who have pointed out that, you know, this specific accusation against Woody Allen was investigated by the police. They didn't bring charges. You know, we know how police investigations can sometimes benefit the accused. But there was a full police investigation and he was not convicted of anything. But he's also you know somebody who dated and then married his daughter right adopted daughter and then other people say there's no you

know this is the only allegation against him so you know take that for what it's worth right people will bring their own conclusions to it yeah so what if you date in your daughter right you know he married her so he made an honest as you do right he did he put a ring on his daughter did he walk her down the aisle didn't get into the position he walked her down and then he hopped over and got in the groomsman position i'm gonna leave that alone oh that's terrible all right we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less

than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.

I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved you mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked voila you got straightway i felt like i was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds, Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game.

Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus.

Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So I expected that we would be talking almost this whole episode about illegal immigration. It seems like, you know, the Trump plan has come out.

We just watched Sarah Huckabee Sanders's press conference for today, and nobody was really talking about the White House sort of immigration plan, which I think is maybe just a reflection of the fact that nobody's taking it that seriously because it's so conservative. But so we're going to talk about immigration later this week, rest assured. We wanted to just kind of talk briefly about president trump's interview with pierce morgan uh because it is wildly entertaining uh just because you can kind of look at both sides and laugh um they're just fucking pierce morgan crazy fucking trash uh okay that was our coverage that's it go do one so some of the best best moments, they talked about gun control. Piers Morgan, this was the closest Piers Morgan came to holding his feet to the fire. He was like, why has nothing been done to stop somebody from doing what happened in Las Vegas again?

And Trump was like, we do have gun control laws, but this is a sick person. And Piers Morgan's like, yeah, but he was able to legally buy 55 guns. And Trump was like, well, bad people are bad people and nothing's going to stop them. But as I've talked about on this podcast before and just everywhere, anywhere that people will let me speak out loud, I love talking about the British coal gas study, which found that when you take away the easy way for people to kill themselves, in this case, the people sticking their head in the oven, which used to be like the most popular way for people to kill themselves in England. They went to nonlethal gas just because it was more efficient, not because they were trying to save anybody's lives. Once the gas could no longer kill you, the suicide rate dropped by like a third by however many suicides coal gas had made up before.

So the idea is that because people make really rash decisions and it's all about accessibility and there's a reason that there aren't tons of mass bombings in America. There are lots of mass shootings. It's hard to make a bomb. And also, I mean, there are legal protections to keep you from, you know, if they see that you've gone to the grocery store and bought all the ingredients for a bomb, you know, that will draw their attention. You're not supposed to be able to do that. The thing that bombs don't have is a bra as super producer it would actually be nba the national association right i'm just so sick of this argument but god damn i have to admire the strength of the nra that is some real power when it's just thousands

of people can be shot all the time in america And no one can do anything about you because you have everybody in your pocket. The NRA is gone. Right. Yeah, they have a lot of friends. Some might be Russian, too. There's that investigation happening, too, because they're like, y'all spent a lot of money that last cycle. Where is it coming from? Wait, what is it?

There was a story that came out last week that was talking about how there's a really close tie to the NRA and like certain Russian people. And there's one guy who has like a record of like laundering money for the Russians, had a relationship with the NRA. And they're trying to say like the amount that they spent the last election cycle was like much higher than they've ever spent before. Oh, the NRA? Yeah. And they're looking into kind of like some of the accounting to see what's going on. See if maybe they got some of that money from – Yeah, we'll see.

I mean, that's just, that was a story. We'll probably look into that later. Sure. It's just way too easy to kill people with guns. I think that if you're a fucked up person and you want to kill a bunch of people,

like you should at least have to work for it. Right. Like you should have to stab everybody. Be on foot. Right. It's fine. That's like, man,

that old Chris rock bit. He's like, look, if you made a bullet cost $5,000, right. You would have to fucking think you like, I would shoot you made a bullet cost $5,000, you would have to fucking think. You were like, I would shoot you. But I got to wait for my next paycheck.

Are you worth it? Are you worth it? So. Yeah. But that whole interview was filled with fascinating things. One of the more popular items from that was Piers Morgan. was Piers Morgan, you know, he was talking to Trump about how much he respects women. And, you know, they were so deep into how much Trump respects women that Piers had to just ask the question we've all been wondering.

President Trump, do you identify as a feminist? Are you, in fact, a feminist? And the president said, no, I wouldn't say I'm a feminist, which I think everybody just – I'm shocked that the people working behind the camera could keep themselves from gasping aloud when he said that. He said, I think that would be maybe going too far. I'm for women. I'm for men. I'm for everyone. I think people have to go out.

They have to go out and really do it, and they have win and women are doing great and i'm happy about that oh so he's all about uh you know equality for everybody right do you guys remember a little song uh from beyonce called flawless yes let me just play a section you know i don't know if you remember feminist a person who believes in the social political and economic equality of the sexes so if you believe in the equality if you're for everybody that would make you a feminist too if you're truly about equality for everyone right look i appreciate trump not lying we know his ass ain't no damn feminist you out here talking about grabbing bitches by the pussy and whatnot like don't even lie i appreciate that that trump

didn't lie at this moment he was like y'all know i'm not a feminist i'm assaulting women what do you mean but what he's saying is that he has this like weird fox news definition of feminism you know what i mean like because what he's saying is like well i don't know it's like i'm for women i'm for men i'm for everyone i don't think he understands what sort of generally he's he's means feminazis or whatever people try and attack like feminist thought is yeah exactly of being like that's what he believes feminism that's what he believes, feminism. That's why he's like, oh, well, that's not me. Right.

Not that he even believes in equality for everyone, but he even betrays himself in how he even follows that answer up. And I'm not surprised. I don't even know why I'm getting so fired up because there was bigger issues with that interview I had than that. Yeah. Well, why don't you talk about what your biggest issue was? Okay, let me tell you guys something. So I'm a huge fan of Arsenal Football Club in North London. You know, there's only one team in London, as we all know,

and people can tweet me all they want. But let's be real. Pierce Morgan is the worst example of an Arsenal supporter. He is a lifelong supporter, okay? He gave this dude a jersey with his name on it, with a 4-5 on the back. Also, Barron Trump has been seen wearing an Arsenal kit. That's a whole other thing. He's a child. He name on it with a four or five on the back also baron trump has been seen wearing an arsenal kit that's a whole other thing you know that's he's a child he's figuring it out

but he basically was like it was just crazy they had this exchange where he was like are you an arsenal fan and trump's like i don't know not particularly no and then he's like pierce morgan says don't kill the dream mr president i can't take this xenophobic psychopath pierce morgan he's already like a very problematic guy. I just got triggered because he's bringing my club into it. We have one of the most diverse supporters, like the kinds of variety of supporters of the club. It's great. And we're not xenophobic.

We're all inclusive. And to bring this man in the conversation is very upsetting. And that's my rant. I have to go. There was a great moment where he asked him about something less important than what you're talking about, Miles, obviously, climate change. I don't believe that. And he said, do you believe in climate change? Do you believe it exists? And Trump said, there is a cooling, there is a heating. And I mean, look, it used to not be

climate change. It used to be global warming, which I guess he's just talking about the name change, the rebranding. He says that wasn't working too well because it was getting too cold all over the place. The ice caps were going to melt. They were going to be gone by now. And now they're setting records. So, OK, they're at a record level there were so many things happening peers i tell you what i believe in i believe in clean air i believe in crystal clear beautiful water i believe in just having good cleanliness oh yeah that's why you got to the epa that it's just why he's a fucking germphobe you want that's also why i will not shake your hand peers uh he also had a paper cover over his uh water glass the whole time because he doesn't like dirt. Trump should swim open mouth in the Hudson River. That should be his punishment. Right.

Rather than jail, I would love to see him swim. He believes in cleanliness, but he's at McDonald's all the time. I want him to beer bong 40 ounces of Hudson River water. If Trump has shown us nothing, it's that we should all strive for more in life. I used to think that qualifications were a necessity. And now I know they're a mere obstacle in front of me. Like, so what? I don't know what I'm doing.

That doesn't mean I can't still do it. Like, this response is the stupidest shit I ever fucking heard in my life. The grass. I like clean grass. I like clean grass. I like loose grass. Arctic sea ice has set repeated lows, but notice he didn't say that they were setting records in either direction. He just said the ice is setting records.

So, okay, they're at a record level. Yeah, the worst ever. Right. Anyway. Cool. There's also apparently some records in terms of how far spread the ice is. And it's like records in terms of being spread the furthest. But that's because of increased winds from global warming and because the ice is like breaking apart and melting. So, yeah, very interesting interview. The hard hitting interview we've all been waiting for. Yeah, very interesting interview. The hard-hitting interview we've all been waiting for.

And finally, so President Trump has always had sort of an investment in different celebrity couples. He was really anti-Robert Pattinson and… Kristen Stewart. Kristen Stewart. He was like, she's going to cheat on you again, bro. It seemed like… It was so weird. It seemed like he was legit losing sleep over their relationship like he cared so much he he spent so much of his time telling him to break up with her uh anyways uh he is shipping meghan markle and uh prince harry he's all about their relationship

and piers morgan was like uh are you invited to the wedding? He was like, no, not that I know of. Like it hadn't occurred to him before that. And he said, would you like to go? And Trump was like, I want them to be happy. I really want them to be happy. They look like a lovely couple. And Piers was like, Meghan Markle did say you were a divisive misogynist. And President Trump said, well, I still hope they're happy.

Damn. Does he know that she's a woman of color i don't think so she's very light-skinned he probably doesn't know that she's black i'm telling you today because if he because if he knew she was black or he ships them so fucking hard right he can't even that even his like trigger of having people come at him like he bypassed that to be like no i still wish them the best but then again i actually don't think that donald trump has like a problem with black women i feel like i mean other than like oppressing black people as a whole like but you know omarosa is like his best little friend he kept her black ass well i think that's the same thing that lindsey graham said if you are nice to him

he doesn't give a fuck yeah right but uh he's easily triggered by black people talking spicy at the end of the day hey when you have an eagle like that you just gotta massage it baby but he's easily triggered by black people talking spicy than white people talking spicy. At the end of the day, hey, when you have an ego like that, you just got to massage it, baby. I also think that Pierce Morgan is so petty for this setup. I know. Like, he ropes him in, like, oh, are you happy for them? And he was like, oh, well, make a Marvel situation. Now what you think?

Huh? Oh, no, I still think they're happy. He was probably like, fuck. Yeah. He's going to try and get some real spice out of this man definitely hurt him alright Lacey it's been a pleasure as always having you where can people find you

We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you will threaten the man. Because I am female, I'm expected to aspire to marriage.

I'm expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. A marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support. But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors, not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are. Feminist, a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.
