quick on my aka so we were uh yesterday we got a bunch of t-shirt prototypes for the different podcasts i put on the daily zeitgeist one and proceeded to walk to lunch with super producer anna hosny and super producer uh sophie and we got stopped First time I've been stopped on our way to lunch in this part of town by a TDZ fan. And I was excited because, you know, we don't get stopped that often. And then I realized I was wearing the Daily Zeitgeist t-shirt, at which point I realized it looks like I wear my podcast shirt everywhere, hoping to get recognized. And somebody pointed out, I reported this on Twitter, and Crystal Robinson pointed out, especially since it isn't available yet,

which is even better because it seems like you had it made just so you could go around and be like, hey, you know this thing? So anyways, that is why I was called Rightfully Jack Ego Brian on Twitter. Brandy, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a second. But first, we like to tell our listeners what they're in store for. We're going to talk about a couple terrible movies that are out at theaters that you can see this weekend. We're going to talk about the revelations, the bombshells dropped by Drake's Scorpion

album last night. We're going to talk about the mass shooter and his history with women. Surprisingly, just a generous lover. Yeah, he's pretty good. Yeah. No, he was extremely problematic. He was like, I've heard all this pussy. A lot of good things to say about him. Sick of swimming in pussy.

Uh-huh. We're going to talk about how the right is responding to the latest mass shooting, about how the right is responding to the latest mass shooting the ongoing civility war that you know the libs started by not letting Sarah Sanders finish her cheese plate we're gonna talk about the fact that the right is getting excited about a Rasmussen poll that suggests that we are headed for a civil war like a literal actual civil war not a civility war, a civil war. We're going to talk the Supreme Court sitch, the fact that Justice Kennedy has some connections to Trump and his finances. We're going to talk about how Trump has a sister

who is like one level below the Supreme Court justice, which is crazy. And we're going to talk about the P-Tape video. It's kind of a music video, but it is online and spectacular. But first, we like to ask our guest, Brandy, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are as a human being or just where you are in your life? The last thing that I searched was Jim Carrey Saxophone, which if you guys have not seen the number 23. I have not.

Okay. Here's the thing. I recommend that you watch it because it's the most absurd thriller you've ever seen in your entire life. It's just a bunch of characters walking around adding things up to the number 23. Which is this? That's a Jim Carrey movie. Okay.

I have seen this. Yes. It came out like 15. Yeah. It's's a Jim Carrey movie. Okay, I have seen this. Yes, it came out like 15. Yeah, it's from a while ago. Yeah, it was like when you had to go see movies. Yeah, exactly. No, I remember this. Pre-streaming, pre all of that stuff.

Yeah, where you're like, well, I guess we're seeing this tonight. Yeah. Yeah. And so there's a subplot where he is imagining, there's a book that he gets that makes him obsessed with the number 23, and then he imagines himself as the main character in number 23 who is a detective covered in tribal tattoos that plays a saxophone and i was explaining this to somebody and they didn't believe me so i just sent them photos why would they believe you also why would i lie about the plot to the number 23 i mean both people yeah both of you are like should we go to the doctor should both of us go to the doctor yeah so i was googling that recently and then i just

went down a hole and then i made my boyfriend watch it and he was not happy so he has a sax solo in in this or he's just carrying it around he carries it he plays it in a in a window with is it based in new orleans no it's based's based in a... Because all those things you described seem real New Orleans. It feels New Orleans, but it's not. It's like upstate New York or something like that. It doesn't make any sense. 80% of the dialogue is straight up

different characters adding up numbers to be like, oh God, that's also 23. It's truly insane to watch. There's an entire scene of them just being like oklahoma city bombing april 9th 19 you know right and then add the digits oh it's 23 and that scene goes on for five minutes and you're just screaming the entire time um anyway i was googling that recently and that is a movie i believe was completely started because he started noticing these things. Or somebody pointed for that scene is why this movie exists.

He was like, think about it, man. Yeah. Everything adds up to 23. Definitely. He's gone through a numerology phase for sure. Oh, without a doubt. Yes. Yes.

That guy is surrounded by crystals right now. And strings. Yes. Just putting things together. Yeah. That's what it is. And I think this was the movie, the point in his career at which people were like, oh, things have gone in a direction, haven't they?

Yeah. They've taken a turn. Yes. Because this is after a pretty big Jim Carrey file from back in the day. I love him a lot. I've not missed the opening day of a Jim Carrey file from back in the day. I love him a lot. I've not missed the opening day of a Jim Carrey movie since Ace Ventura 2. That's a tradition that I keep for myself. Oh, wow.

Yeah. You're a disciplined person. Yeah, I absolutely am. Yes. I think traditions are important. I don't think traditionally people would call you that, but you are. Secretly, I very much am. Yeah, she's very disciplined.

I make promises to myself and I keep them. Yeah. As we're going to get into, Brandy, is our shitty movie, Connoisseur. Yes. But Brandy, what is something that is overrated? Butter knives. Butter knives?

Yeah. The butter knife, I don't believe in it. It doesn't, like, just use a sharper knife. Why do we need this knife? Have you ever cut bread and you didn't want to? Use a bread knife. Which is serrated. Yeah, serrated. Oh, you mean

okay. The butter knife is like the one that's not really that sharp. The little ridges that don't do anything. And it's like this long? Yeah. Oh, I see what you're talking about. It's also the most common knife, right? Yeah, it's the most common knife. I don't believe in it. it's like this long? Yeah. Oh, I see what you're talking about. And it's also the most common knife, right? Yeah, it's the most common knife. I don't believe in it.

I have like 30 of them in my bag right now. Not the long ones, right? Huh? Not the real long ones, just the short one that comes in the set, like the fork, the spoon, and the knife. It's the knife on that set. I don't believe in that

because I don't think it's... You can cut anything that you need to with a fork or a sharper knife that you could use in place. Yeah. Yeah. I believe in steak knives. I don't believe in- It is good for spreading.

It's okay for spreading. Yeah, but any knife is good for spreading. Or use the back of your spoon. Yeah. I'm all about getting rid of things that society says we need, but we don't need. It does feel like that knife especially is purely for etiquette. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah. So there that knife especially is purely for etiquette. Yes. Absolutely.

Yeah. So there's no utilitarian purpose for that knife. Yeah. We don't need that knife. I agree with you. I can see that. I have the most of that in my silverware drawer. Yeah, me too.

And I use the least. Yeah. Yeah. I have a child. So I use a lot of spreads. Yeah. So I'm doing a lot of peanut butters and jellies and nutellas and shit like that yeah i go through it a lot i will say i always i i like a sandwich with a bunch of spread on it too

i'm a big fan of the spoon because you scoop more of it out with a spoon and then use the back of the spoon spread it around yeah yeah there's i mean we've all got we've all got our methods yeah yes yeah i come down strong to the minutiae right and and it yeah Yes. I come down strong on this. We can get into the minutiae. Right. Yeah, and it'll come down to why your arm is shaped a certain way. Right. Yeah. Yeah. What is something you think is underrated?

To go against butter knives, all other knives. Okay. Butter knife is like the biggest one that we use, and I don't think it should be. Okay. I think a lot of them do a lot more stuff historically and currently. Uh-huh. Like the dagger has been important historically. Bayonet. Yeah.

A buoy. A buoy. Yeah. A buoy knife. Now, I personally use buoy knives at all meals, but that's just me. That's actually what I use in my power. Right. That's how you use it as my fork.

I am still your father right i think that would make dinners just a lot more fun if there's just everyone just had a booey knife or just one person gets a booey knife per table right like who got it today well i'm gonna be speaking tonight right and you stab it into the table is how it is how it is given to you tonight we're gonna talk about politics. It's like the way that when you get breaded out at the back steakhouse, they get the knife that's stabbed into the roll. It's just like that with a boo knife

on the table every night. So Australian. Not a good knife though. I worked it out back. Those knives, those aren't great knives. I can see that. Those are useless fucking knives. Those are underrated knives.

Chains probably have pretty overrated knives. Now in the back, chef's knives are fucking dope. Yeahains probably have pretty overrated knives. Now, in the back, chef's knives are fucking dope. Yeah. See, I like a chef knife. That's who you need to talk to about knives, I think, chefs. Well, knives just also like,

it's fun to use a cartoonishly big knife for a small knife task. Yeah, that is fun. It's just a fun thing to do. Right. You have to, you ever cut an apple with a knife? Yeah, it's awesome.

I do it all the time. Yeah. Because like I said, I've got dingbats. It feels to. You ever cut an apple with a knife? Yeah, it's awesome. I do it all the time. Yeah. Because like I said, I've got dingbats. Feels great. It does feel good. Like I've gotten better. I purchased a, because of that, was it Lifehacker? I love that little blog.

They're always recommending dope stuff. And they kept recommending this Victoria Knox kitchen knife, and I found it on Amazon, and it's amazing. I use it for everything. Nice. Yeah, and I'm probably going to start spreading stuff with it because of you. Hell yeah. Yeah.

Have you always been into knives? You're just a knife person? I think they're just kind of funny. Yeah. I don't know why. I just think they're like, I don't know. They're just fun. Guns are fucking evil., knives are like more fun.

Knives you gotta really, you've thought it through. You gotta want it on top of it. Absolutely. So you can't, and to do it right you gotta concentrate because if you mess up you're like, well we're in a fight now. Right. Exactly.

So I do. I think I'm a big fan of the knife more than the gun. It's an interesting piece of artwork, too. Yeah. You watch people make them and things like that. Yeah. Sometimes they're gorgeous. Sometimes they're hideous.

I really think replica knives from sci-fi shows are always really funny when you see those at a flea market or swap meet and stuff. I always want to know about the guy that just sells the Klingon knives. Yeah, the dragon knife. Yeah. That is a fascinating genre. Where you're like, I want a knife, but a dragon too. Yeah, exactly. Metallic dragon.

I guess, no, it's like when 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne made that album of just those two. I guess where you're like, oh, that's just for me. Right. Like if you like dragons and knives, you're like, they put it together.

Yeah, exactly. It shows your personality a lot. Right. You know, like what your knife choice is. I've also been watching a lot of Forged in Fire lately, which is like my favorite show. So I'm really on a knife kick.

Is that a like dragon show? It's a knife show. It's like chopped except for knives. Oh, like people making knives. Yeah.

Oh yeah. To varying degrees of success with the worst host in the history of television. Which I think adds to everything. Oh yeah. The charm of it is great.

Yes. Because to be someone at this day and age and be like, I like to make knives. You're like, what do you mean? You're like, from the metal to the end. And you're like, okay. Yeah. It's a special kind of person. I also don't even know how you learn how to do that.

And now I'm going to be on TV. And you're like, what? Yeah. All these knife makers have more credits than I do. It's hilarious. And now I'm going to be on TV. And you're like, what? Yeah. All these knife makers have more credits than I do. It's hilarious. And now I'm famous. I don't understand how anything works anymore. Aren't you a blacksmith?

We don't need you anymore. And now you're on TV. Got my own show. Is that a new hipster thing, like knives? Is that going to be a thing? Yeah. So on the show, they always start off with four knife makers, one of which is always a professional that actually has a shop that makes a living.

One is a redneck from the woods. Also makes a living doing it. Yeah, exactly. And then there's a hipster that's usually from Brooklyn, and he always has those leather suspenders. Yeah. Yeah, that's a big thing. Yeah, I feel like fashion is first for them.

Right. Yes. That's why they make their own knives. They work it backwards instead of being like, hey, I'm good at making this knife. They're like, I like that apron. Right. What's it for?

They don't give a shit. The beer that they were brewing back when that was cool, that shit was not good, I'm sure. They have to do something while the beer, while the microbrews are being made, so they're making knives. Yeah. So finally, what is myth?

What's something people think is true you know to be false? I don't believe in fabric softener. Like you don't think it exists? No, I don't believe that it has a purpose. I think we use it, but I don't know why. Like I don't use it, and my clothes are fine. Yeah. I think it's like a butter knife.

As someone that grew up with a mother who didn't, who thought like you and didn't use it, it's real. Really? Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah, it's real. And your clothes just get softer? Yeah.

What happens? Yeah, it's like a- Can I feel your hoodie right now? Well, it does, yeah, I mean, it does. And it depends on the type of water you have, too, as well. Right. But where I grew up, they were just harder. Okay.

Right. The material was just like your cotton was just harder. Right. And then when I left, I never complained about it or anything. And I'm sure if I did, my mom would be like, yeah, well, buy some fabric softener. I'd be like, yeah, I'm not about it or anything. And I'm sure if I did, my mom would be like, yeah, well, buy some fabric softener. I'd be like, yeah, I'm not going to do that. But then when I left, I do remember washing my clothes my freshman year and buying fabric softener and being like, this does work.

This feels nice. Maybe I've never lived in a place with hard water. No, this has hard water here. Maybe it's soft water. I don't know what that i'm just i'm sure it has something to do with it and the zeitgeist people will be like it's this and we'll get something but yeah yeah yeah but it is i can tell you it is real okay as someone that grew up with a mom that wouldn't buy it okay all right well my myth has been disproven. I've just never bought it before.

I believed the myth that you were putting out there that fabric softener did nothing. So Billy Wayne has debunked a myth. That's fine. I could be totally wrong. But in my head. I'm sure people buy it for a reason. I don't know if I've ever experienced someone using it correctly. And I could be wrong about that.

It's also great for hiding pot smell, too. Right. It does have multiple functions. There you go. Oh, okay. I always use dryer sheets for that. Yeah. That's fabric softener.

All right, guys. That's what a dryer sheet is, a fabric softener. Is it? Is it? Oh. Oh, I was talking about the liquid fabric softener. That you add into the wash. It's the same thing, too.

Oh, is it? Yeah. It's just a different delivery method? Yeah, it's just a totally different delivery. Well, hot damn, I didn't know that. What the fuck did you guys think a dryer sheet was doing? Keeping it from static cling. Yeah, I thought the dryer sheet was for static cling.

Are we wrong? I mean, I think apparently. This is a myth. Yeah. Billy Wayne's house of laundry. Right. Doing a lot of laundry, I think apparently. This is a myth. Yeah. Billy Wayne's house of laundry. Right. Done a lot of laundry, I guess. I remember when I lived in New York and you can just take it and they do it for you and

fold you. I was like, what in the hell? Yeah. I'm never leaving. Yeah. Yeah. That is wonderful. Well, it gets harder.

Yeah. Your clothes get harder when you do that to the point that it's just a brick of laundry when you pick it up like the 10th time. All right, guys, I thought we were going to be talking about a specific movie called Uncle Drew that was coming out this weekend. It is a movie in which current and former NBA players wear old age makeup and play basketball. And people are like, whoa, they're better than we expected them to be. It's based on a Pepsi commercial, like all great films are. I think Godfather was based on a Pepsi commercial. Unreleased. Right.

Yeah. But apparently— They were like, this is good. We should turn it into a movie. They were like, this is good. We should turn it into a movie. Apparently, it's not as bad as... It seems like it's currently sitting at 57 on Metacritic, which is the better version of Rotten Tomatoes,

which is not great. 57 isn't a good movie, but the latest Jurassic Park is at 51. So Uncle Drew is apparently not as bad. It seems like it might have the MacGruber thing where the premise is so thin that people work really hard on the rest of the movie, maybe. So the one bad review that I do have to read a quote from

is from the New York Times. Glenn Kenney said, it's not every day that you can say, quote, Shaquille O'Neal was the best actor in that movie. And yet, that may well be true in the case of Uncle Drew. Also, Kazam, thank you very much. Yeah, I was going to say, and Blue Chips. Yeah.

He's got an extensive acting background. I always think he's the best thing on screen when he's on screen. Yeah, fuck you, Glenn. Yeah, take that, critic. But Brandy, you have the shit movie we talked about this having not seen it on a previous episode but

we still have not seen Gotti you have seen it multiple times I've seen Gotti twice once MoviePass once paid for I cannot you can't see it twice on MoviePass no you can only see it once

because MoviePass is also a producer can only see it once. Yeah. Because MoviePass is also a producer of the movie. Yes. Which I truly don't know how they're making money, especially when they've become producers of movies. Because now you're just paying them for the movie that they produced. I don't think they want, I don't think, from what I understand about MoviePass is they don't want to make money.

They want information about how you see movies oh because they're like they're in bed with the studios and stuff yeah it's like okay but the end game for that is them making their own movies that are like based on this information so like okay well like those t-shirts that you see you're like hey d hey, Dave Matthews. It's like, this is the perfect movie because we know all this data about what these people want. And the first movie that they've produced is Gotti. And it has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is hard to pull off. It's impressive. Yes.

And did you cover the potential bot campaign that they've launched to get the audience score up? No, I think that is recent. Yeah. They've launched a bot campaign to get the... There's just fake bots. They've just been creating Rotten Tomatoes accounts to get the audience score up. It's amazing. It is amazing.

They are trying to pitch this almost as a Trumpian thing, where it's like the smart guys at the movie review, like newspapers don't want you to see this, but look at the audience score, like your fellow people. Here's the thing about Gotti. Gotti is the quintessential movie of the Trump presidency. When you watch it, the way that the story is told, do you know how like when a baby boomer man tells you a story, he assumes that you have all of the knowledge that he has. And he leaves out key details about who his friends are. He just says names and then jumps around. There's no linear way of how a story is told.

I think that's just, you could say that about any baby boomer regardless of gender. No, absolutely. I don't think that's a man. I have aunts where I'm like, I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. That is what the script of this movie reads like. You do not know what is happening for most of the movie. And also, the movie opens and closes. I don't want to give a lot of spoilers.

But the movie opens and closes with John Travolta as John Gotti breaking the fourth wall. And he just turns to the camera. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. i'm immediately no it starts with him breaking yeah it starts with him in one of john gotty's actual coats because

he wore a lot of john gotty's actual costumes and clothing in this movie wearing one of his things and he's beneath the brooklyn bridge and he turns to camera and he goes, everybody either dies or you go to prison. I did both. Which is supposed to make you impressed that he died in prison. Right. That's not a brag of any kind. And he just waves his pink. Lots of people die in prison.

That's not a cool way to die. Most of the most unsuccessful mafia people of all time die in prison. I know, he says it like a brag. Yeah. And he waves his pinky ring in your face and then he just twirls his duster for mafia people of all time die in prison. I know, he says it like a brag. And he waves his pinky ring in your face and then he just twirls his duster and the movie starts. That's fucking awesome.

It's amazing. Also, you don't know what's happening the entire time. The only way to win at life is to die. In prison. That's not how it works. It's not true, but it sounds cool. The whole movie is just

showing you that he is bad at being a mob guy because it's like he keeps getting caught. The whole movie is just him losing a series of trials, basically. That was my problem with the movie Blow, is that Johnny Depp was so dumb in that movie. It was just like, come on, man. You're

obviously very bad at this. What's happening? I think, yeah, the whole point of Blow was was just like, come on, man. You're obviously very bad at this. What's happening? I think, yeah, the whole point of Blow was to be like, hey, a lot of these people aren't geniuses.

They just happen to be in the right place at the right time. But the movie around it, the people making the movie were treating it like it was the fun Rise of the Criminals.

Like, hey, Black Betty. And then he's like walking into the fucking police with cocaine stuffed down his throat. And Criminals, like, hey, Black Betty. And then he's, like, walking into the, like, fucking police with, like, cocaine. And his cellmate was like, hey, I'm from Columbia and we do cocaine. And he was like, cool, I know a dude that needs cocaine. And he was the genius. No, he wasn't. That's exactly how Gotti is.

Also, they just, like, throw out so many names and then nick but then use the nicknames of that person when they're talking about them and you never know who they're talking about at any given point it's there's 15 gangsters that are all completely interchangeable and you're like wait what that person's dead now what what happened right he's just he kills people in public at the beginning and you're like what you're not even a good he's not good at being a mafia guy at all and the entire movie is just like pro god at the end you're just like oh wait we are we pro god right we're pro john goddy in this oh hell yeah they also use a lot of um footage like news footage of like from the 90s of just like the news stories the family has kept all of the news oh yeah well that's yeah yeah so they news footage. Oh, yeah. Well, that's fair. Yeah.

So they use, there's a lot of stuff. You know how one of the number one rules in cinema is show, don't tell? Mm-hmm. They just play news stories, full news stories in place of shooting something instead. Uh-huh. Like they won't show the action, but they will have like a newscaster just be like, oh, and then the guy packed up his diner and he moved away. And that was how John Gotti's main witness for this trial uh didn't show up and you're like okay are you not gonna show me them threatening you're not gonna show that to me what a clever

way to disguise your exposition is just having people talk to the camera and give you exposition but it's also like every time so at the end they cut to all these people like from the 90s telling you why they like John Gotti and so all these just like fucking goombas from Staten Island that are just like

he was a man of the people he only killed bad guys. I know. I know. It's truly insane. It's a Trump movie because this is the exact same way

that the movie about Donald Trump will be made but John Gotti is Donald Trump. Right. Like he's just like a liar who like just self aggrandizes and like just makes himself sound awesome.

Yeah. And he's like half trying to convince himself and the other half trying to convince the rest of the world. And like only it's like his there's like this selection bias of just very dumb people who believe it and are just like, he's literally a god on earth. It's amazing. It's the exact same thing.

It's crazy to me. I would put money on every person they show in the news footage is definitely a Trump voter because it's the same exact thing. It's a fascinating movie. Also directed by E from Entourage and I think in character as E from Entourage. He directed it in character as Eve from Entourage. You directed it in character? It's so bad. And then it's really funny

because then when they cut to what the real person looks like, there's like 30-year gaps between what the people look like. They're 100 pounds. Like his son is for sure 100 pounds lighter in the movie portrayed than he actually looks like. At one point when you meet the son's wife that you're supposed to care about, but she's only in the movie portrayed than he actually looks like. At one point when you meet the son's wife that you're supposed to care about, but she's only in the movie for 30 seconds,

it is clearly a 35-year-old woman pretending to be a 16-year-old. It's amazing. It's truly amazing. And so the family helped produce it along with MoviePass and Travolta. Travolta really dragged this across the finish line. He was like, this is going to be my Oscar movie.

Shut. Yeah. He for sure thought this was going to be his thing. Also, I counted the second time. He was like, I'm going to win an Oscar with E for Monterey. Right. Yeah. 29 executive producers in the opening credits of this movie.

Shut the fuck up. I counted the second time. That's the best part of the movie. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, I counted the second time. That's the best part of the movie. I know. The names just keep going, and then at the end, it's just distributed by movie pass. That's like a Mr. Show sketch. Yeah.

It's just like EP after EP after EP. Each scene starts with a different executive producer. Yep. Also, Pitbull wrote an original song. I just assumed he was involved. Okay, this is something that I heard. I heard that they play in the movie,

in the 80s, a modern Pitbull song. Is that true? Why wouldn't you do that? Pitbull saw a picture of John Travolta dressed as John Gotti and it compelled him to want to come on as the music director for this movie. He wrote an original song. The spirit just flowed through him.

I think that's how that works, too. Yeah, it was insane. Oh, also, my favorite trivia fact. That's how John Williams got Star Wars, I think. You're doing a space thing? Oh, I gotta do it. I got to. My favorite trivia fact right now is

the movie is also being sued by Joe Pesci because Joe Pesci... You're just saying stuff. I know. Everything about this movie is also being sued by joe pesci because joe pesci you're just saying stuff i know everything about this movie is my favorite thing joe pesci they he was originally cast as a part in the movie that he gained 30 pounds for and then they said no we're actually gonna go with somebody else so joe pesci shut this it's like he's suing them for $3 million. It's like you're doing IMDB boggle. I know. Joe Pesci gained 30 pounds for the role in this movie that you don't see him appear in. No, he's not in it.

He's suing them for $3 million. I would too. I know, I would too. Gained 30 pounds? He's an old man who put on 30 pounds. Yeah, you do not lose that weight easily. No. If you're Joe Pesci.

Also, fat suits are a thing. Yes. This movie is a fat suit movie. And it sounds like they weren't gonna be sticklers about things being accurate either. No. No. Or the most accurate.

It's truly insane. I cannot. He shows up, even if he got it, he shows up 30 pounds and he looks over he's like wait what right no oh he thought he was like on a scorsese project yeah hey travolta you said we were gonna win an oscar right he's like yeah i didn't i was in the airplane we're going to it's truly insane i it captures the chaos of the moment that we are living in in a way that no other film has to be like in the sense that watching it you feel like you're mentally ill it feels like 2018 it's 2018 as a movie but about 1995 all right uh okay we have to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything. You're allowed to be doing this. We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

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.

But Drake has dropped Scorpion, his new double album. But people have had time to pour over the lyrics and figure out. Like, Drake is his own TMZ. Like, he just, like, talks shit about his own life in his lyrics. And so, you know, you learn stuff from his albums. On this album, we learn he does have a son. And he claims he was like, I wasn't hiding him from the world. I was hiding the world from him, which is like a cool sounding way to say what is basically the philosophy of the kidnapper from Room.

Like, it's just, yeah, he's just like, yeah, that's the same thing. It's not good. That's not a good thing. I've got a bubble boy at my house that's what you're saying yeah uh he deaded the beef with kanye because he didn't want anyone to get murdered over content uh i don't know if i buy that murdered yeah he's like i know how this goes. It keeps escalating, and then somebody gets deaded over content. Yeah, but he still talks shit about Kanye on the album. He might have had an affair with Bella Hadid, which is a person I don't know who that is.

Diddy definitely punched him, and he considers himself on par with Adele. What do you mean? What's he mean by that? Every title doing numbers like I miss Adele. What do you mean? He says every title doing numbers like I'm Miss Adele. Oh, I can see that. Yeah, it's true. They're both very successful. The same charts. When they drop stuff, yeah, people are like, well, I'll buy it.

Yeah. I like that he calls her Miss Adele. I know. Very respectful, Drake. I mean, he's not a gangster. No. He's not. No.

He's not even like, I don't think he's like a puncher. You know what I mean, he's not a gangster. No. He's not. No. He's not even like, I don't think he's like a puncher. You know what I mean? He's more of a Will Smith rapper, right? I think he's harder than that. Okay. But I do think he's like- Musically, I think he's more talented than Will Smith. Yeah, I do too.

Yeah, and I think he's a mimic in a way that Will Smith was never. Like, he can do so many different types. Watch him on SNL when he does all that. It's so clear who he is when you see him on SNL. Yeah, that's true. Oh, wow. Absolutely. You're like an advanced alien is what he is.

Oh, okay. I've listened to the first, I guess it's the rap one. It's a double album, and I think the first one is rap, the second one is R&B, maybe. That was the rumor. I've listened to the first one. It's good, but I don't know. I need to listen to something more than once before I can say how I feel about it.

I think he's a great pop artist. Yes. I thought that. He's a good pop musician. Cool. I think he's a great pop artist. I ain't mad at him. He seems inoffensive.

Yeah. That's fine. There you go. Let's move on to the mass shooting that happened yesterday. Another mass shooting. So

it's another white dude who would have seemingly failed the common sense. Should this guy have a gun? Like gut check it would seem like we should at least have in this country he's been furious with this paper since they reported on his like nightmarish stalking behavior toward a former classmate he facebooked out of the blue and yep proceeded to terrorize

so the article that pissed him off just relates in a very straightforward way he reached out to this girl he went to high school with and was like, you were the only person who was nice to me. She took the bait because she's a normal human being with empathy and was like, oh good, like I'm glad that you're doing well. And he proceeded to stalk her and like send pictures of like that he had taken outside of her work

and just like was complete psychopath. Got her fired from a job too. And so eventually she- Love. So you're talking about love. Yes, exactly. I'm just making sure. She, I think, got him charged with harassment and the paper then reported on that.

And in response to that article, he sued the paper for defamation represented himself uh always a shrewd yes well i don't not worked for somebody well and and if you think through that move a lot of times that move like i used to think like oh what a fucking i'll just i'll represent it's they've tried to find representation a lot of times and like other like even like scumbag lawyers like man i can't right oh gotcha i still have to keep my license yeah so it came down to the judge to explain to him that defamation does not mean them reporting bad stuff you actually did that's not how defamation works she She was like, there's just no reason.

You're not even saying you didn't do the stuff that this article said you did. Like, you don't, I don't think you know how defamation works. So he lost the case, went away for a couple of years to just get, you know, more and more disturbed and then walked into the office yesterday and shot five people. With what? A shotgun. And he had smoke grenades. So this seems like a pretty straightforward,

like that was the story as I understood it. And people were talking yesterday, like is this connected in any way to the negative vibes that are being put out about the media. And Milo Yiannopoulos earlier this week was like, I can't wait till they start shooting journalists on site. And Trump has been inciting violence against journalists since forever. But this seems like a very straightforward,

no, this is a very particular case. So I went to Drudge this morning, and I was surprised to find that their top headline was, Mile Fry City, Denver's Hottest Day, with a picture of an adorable dog swimming in a pool. And I was like, wait a second. Drudge would normally, this is a mass shooting. Drudge loves mass shootings. He would typically be still talking about this. What is the right ignoring here?

And so it does turn out that this gentleman, the shooter, was also a huge Trump supporter. So Breitbart this morning was talking about how there was media hysteria blaming President Trump for the newspaper murders and basically telling the story that I just told and saying that that's the only aspect of it, like the only beef that this guy once threatened the paper over their coverage of Trump, tweeting things could end badly for them after calling Trump unqualified. Oh. Well. So that's bad. He had multiple reasons.

Right, right. And the way that Fox News has chosen to cover that part of it is not at all. None of these things are as simple as either side wants to make them. Right. They're much more complicated. Because if you think of anyone that is unhinged or unbalanced, what they do a lot of times is they do have a main reason for doing something. times is they do have a main reason for doing something they realize i've been trying to make this the reason and trying to get whatever justice in my mind everyone keeps saying no and then you know what they're being mean to trump right so yeah i get to do what i want to do and i've got

i've found a reason to disguise why I really want to do this. Right. Yeah. And who knows if having the president, who is also somebody you support, saying people should hate the media and that the media is the number one enemy of Americans, who knows if that pushed him over the edge because, you know, the thing with his main complaint with the paper was five years ago and he chose to shoot them, shoot all those people now. The toughest thing about what Trump is doing and what anybody's doing when they say, oh, the media is bad, the media is bad. They're not wrong.

Right. And the other side isn't wrong when they're like the press and the media are vital to us having a proper democracy. Right. They're correct too. Yeah.

Both of these and that seems to be the main crux of our country right now and from what I can tell is that people from all walks of life at a certain point

want simplicity. Yes. And they want things to be either this way or this way yep and the problem with the life and the world that we're living in at this point in time with the way we can communicate with each other are both sides are right and wrong at all times and that is hard to balance in our simple brains. And that is a side effect of technology, the speed at which technology is presenting itself to our human brains.

So right now we are confused as fuck as to what's right and what's wrong. And all of that is like, yeah, everything he's saying is wrong and right. Yeah, you've got to be able to say and and not no but. Yeah. And all of that is like, yeah, everything he's saying is wrong and right. Yeah, you've got to be able to say and and not no but. Yeah. You know,

like you've got to, it's like you need to be able to hold two ideas in your head at the same time. And no both are right and wrong. Yeah,

cognitive dissonance is a, my dad used to piss me off growing up. He's a football coach and a fucking history teacher and there was always two sides to everything.

And that is not fun. Yeah, it's very annoying. Yeah, as you're growing up. But now as an adult, I'm like, oh, thank you. I mean, I said terrible things about you, but thank you for teaching me that. Yeah, exactly. I can see it in my son, too, sometimes,

where he's like, I'm going to kill you. It's the role of father yeah no i'm like i know but you'll thank me also here's the thing my zero year old by the way says that to me with his eyes oh yeah i'm gonna end you yeah i know just wait i know you are just wait till i can talk yeah oh also here's the thing letter to the fucking editor write a damn letter about how you feel about stuff that's how you respond to articles don't go in and shoot somebody up and that's why they print them because they realized a long time ago like a lot of people just want to be heard yeah any of the conflict

in parks and rec is usually in the show parks and rec is some lunatic wanting to be heard yeah exactly let somebody feel heard and they'll. And they don't punch people. Yes. Usually. So the mainstream media, I think bringing up the possibility that there is this atmosphere of hostility towards the media, that might be somewhat misguided because it turns out there was this other aspect of his backstory with the newspaper. there was this other aspect of his backstory with the newspaper. However, the Fox News' and right-wing places, outlets of the world are blaming this on Maxine Waters.

They have decided, and this just gets back to this civility debate that's been happening lately where I think Maxine Waters said to get in people's faces and call your friends and make it so that these people of power, people in power and the Trump administration are not comfortable in public. Like, you know, basically calling on people to protest and,

uh, right. Yeah. And so sorry, there's consequences to your action. Hannity on his radio show yesterday said, I've been saying now for days that something horrible is going to happen because of the rhetoric. Really, Maxine Waters, you want people to create, call your friends, get in their faces. And Obama said that to get in their faces, call them out, call your friends, get protesters, follow them into restaurants and shopping malls and wherever else, she said.

And it's really crazy because on the right, the rhetoric is, like if you go into the comments, the rhetoric is bonkers. Maxine Waters had to just cancel two events because of just the flood of death threats that are coming her way because of this stuff. They honestly talk about killing people uh people who are within their ideological camp do kill people but it doesn't that part of the story just doesn't get told and instead we focus on the red hen fucking thing where sarah sanders gets asked to leave before she finishes her cheese plate and marco rubio, I think this is a perfect example of this. Yesterday, Marco Rubio,

one of the people who had just watched their coworkers get murdered, five of their coworkers, said, so thanks for your thoughts and prayers, but I couldn't give a fuck about them if there's nothing else coming. Yeah. You know, like, please help change something.

And Marco Rubio tweeted, sign of our times. The F word is now routinely used in news stories, tweets, et cetera. It's not even F asterisk anymore. Who made that decision? And that's, I think, a perfect encapsulation of this civility debate where it's a right-wing guy murders five people and somebody says fuck and they're like, oh, you said fuck. Well, you said a bad word.

That's ruining our children. And I don't know. Meanwhile, our president. It comes from, they know who they're talking to. It comes from the church. It comes from, and I don't even mean a denomination or a type of religion. I mean the structure of the church is what that comes from in that you don't question authority.

There are proper ways to speak. If you don't speak properly, we don't listen to you. You're going to hell. You're going to hell hell and we believe these things and if you if you go accordingly to the way we operate then you'll be fine don't question things this is we've all decided and it comes from a good place and if you do these things your life is cool and people and they're and for the most part it is cool yeah. Yeah. They don't have to. And if you notice, Maxine Waters is a black woman.

Oh, right. So guess who watches Fox News with a fever? Right. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And they need that simple, they need the NMB to be clear. Yes. Yeah, yeah.

And usually a different color. Right. Yeah. Because it makes everything easier. Mm-hmm. It's all, it's so simple. Yeah. Yeah.

What they're doing. It is. It's so simple that it should, I don't know, it seems like the mainstream media still gets caught in that narrative. Well, they just need conflict. Their narrative leads. They need any conflict because of the 24, they just and i know some of those people they're not necessarily bad people they're just caught up in like a fucked up job they need to quit because they're just they're looking at a story they're

not thinking that the long-term uh effects of what the way they're promoting it they just see the conflict is here and that's how we have to get it out because we need people to press the button and come to the thing we need our clicks and that's how we keep it we keep it and that's how we have to get it out because we need people to press the button and come to the thing we need our clicks and that's how we keep it we keep it going that's how we keep getting paid it's yeah it's compartmentalization it's how we built the atom bomb and people didn't it's the same you can destroy things yeah like that what people just need to make their things so that they can go on and do their thing right yeah with my accent explaining all that people are like okay but you didn't say

fucks maybe people actually listen this time and then they're scared of me yes how do you know that well there was a city built 20 minutes from where i grew up in the 1940s in about a year right to build the atom bomb yeah yeah so that i understand how that works was that the one that was like completely disguised from the air? It looked like they built a fake town on top of it? I don't know if... I know they did some stuff like that. I read that book.

Those guys are amazing. Yeah, they're crazy. They hired a bunch of magicians. It's like magicians and just weird architects where they just learned how to... It's basically angles is what it is. Yeah. And they made things look like they weren't there. where they just learned how to, it's basically angles is what it is. And they made things look like they weren't there, like battalions and things like that.

And then they would also make things look like they were there. So one time they made it look like an entire army was invading from the north. And it was like they had literally inflatable tanks and shit. And so it threw the Germans off. from the north and it was like they had literally inflatable like tanks and shit and uh and so like it threw the germans off uh but that just went off in a direction didn't it all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life

it's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit,

where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on.

Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. It's bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So there's been some interesting little details that kind of tweaked my thinking about the Justice Kennedy leaving. So one was that, you know, Trump, I had always believed one aspect of his story, which was that he was a total outsider.

He was just this New York, you know, real estate maniac who came in and didn't have any ties to politics. But as they're talking through his list of potential Supreme Court nominees, one of the leading ones is his favorite because his sister is on the same circuit court that he is. Trump's sister is a local, but a pretty high up justice, which is pretty crazy. I just never, that seems like a detail that people would have mentioned.

I didn't even know he had a sister, let alone that he- He sucks so much air out of the room. Right. Yeah, he does. I assume he would have gone into his mother's womb and absorbed her. The way that a twin absorbs a twin, but he would do that with all future siblings.

Well, I feel like he did that with his brother. He was just like, you're going to kill yourself with alcohol. Yeah. He was like, yeah, I am because my whole family is awful. Yeah. I can't be around you. Yeah. It was like, isn't he weak?

I'm like, he seems like the only smart one. I was like, you guys are, I'm out. Yeah, exactly. It's not worth it. I don't want to be here. Nightmares. Yeah. One of the leading candidates, as we kind of briefly touched on yesterday, is Amy Coney Barrett,

who is from Louisiana and works currently in Indiana and is on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. But she's super right wing. Yeah, you just said Louisiana and then moved to Indiana. Yeah, the two most racist. God, yeah. They have some tough histories in those states. Not saying anything about them. I don't care to know the history.

Right, right, right. I just don't i don't care to know the history right right right i just care i don't care about precedent i set a precedent right right now we can reset precedence what are my taxes right now uh but she has like a cheerleader smile that it's clear that she's held while strangling the life from something oh it's it's the picture of her? Yeah. Oh, she's horrifying. Oh, it is a focus that is not of this world. Yes. That is someone that also, I mean, it's a hack joke to be like, that's a woman that talks to a manager, but she's gotten some people fired.

No, that's a woman that talks to the manager as she enters the restaurant. Yeah. Get me your manager. Can I speak to her? You just got here. Yeah, I need to speak to her because I need to tell her how things are going to be while I'm here. She's never made eye contact with a waiter of color.

That for sure is true. Will you please lay there while I climax? Yes. I need you right there. That's perfect and okay. We'll see you later. Thank you. So another weird way that the world of Trump overlaps with the world of this story, you know, Supreme Court justices and the nomination process is he has some connections to Justice Kennedy's son, right?

Mm-hmm. Billy Wayne, you were saying that his, Kennedy's son. Well, my thing was when I heard he resigned, that's not something those dudes do. No. It's like, it's, You die in the chair. You die in the chair because you have ultimate power.

Yeah. And that's why you get into the whole judge game and all that. And there are good ones and there are bad ones. And most of the time your ego won't all that. And there are good ones and there are bad ones. And most of the time your ego won't allow that. So my spidey sense went off where I was like, this is, I don't like what's happening.

This just reeks of politics is what it reeks of. And then it comes out that, and this is coming from Esquire, who I love. Charles Pierce wrote this. Mr. Trump, one person who knows blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

but they had a connection. His son works for Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank, yeah. Kennedy's son works for Deutsche Bank in New York. During his son's tenure at Deutsche Bank, became Mr. Trump's most important lender, dispensing well over $1 billion

in loans to him. That's a big connection. That's, it's so, and especially because no one else in the United States is giving him money for a long, long time because he won't give it back, which is a huge part of a loan. Yep. Right. From my experience. They get mad if you don't give it back.

Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah, every time. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's like for 20 bucks, people are like, yo, I need it, that's a loan. Right. Oh.

Right. I'm president though. Yeah. It puts the whole thing in a new perspective to me because I would have thought, you know, Kennedy is this guy who is. Well, the name throws you off, too. Right.

The name throws you off, but also the fact that he was the swing vote. He's the swing, yeah. He would go liberal on, you know, reproductive rights and gay marriage and other issues and then be on the right in, you know, other things like fucking all the stuff that just got decided, the travel ban, unions, all that good stuff. Citizens United. So a bunch of very- That's the best one. Yeah.

And that was one that he wrote the decision on. But Kennedy, I don't know, when I heard he was retiring I was like what is he doing because like now he knows that Trump is gonna replace him with some like far right-wing ideologue like these people aren't stupid they yeah he knows they picked the president they're going to resign under because they do it strategically and this seemed very I don't know strange and like short-sighted or like vindictive towards the left and yep I don't know, strange and short-sighted or vindictive towards the left. Yep.

I don't know. I didn't think it was vindictive. It just seemed like ass-saving to me. So yeah, your theory, which I love and hope is true, is that he knows something about how fucked everything's about to get once people reveal what they know about Trump's finances and it would just be bad if he was on the Supreme Court while his son was tied to Trump's. Like bad as in like pitchforks and torches.

Yeah. Bad. Right. As in like, you know what, I'm gonna go. Right. Now. Yeah, yeah. Because they'll kill me. Right. When this comes out. I think that that's,

just as a student of history, that's where my money would lie on this kind of thing, where it's not an F you to the left at all. I think it's a save my own legacy in some bullshit way. Because they're so egotistical. Or do you think it's like he's getting the money from somewhere else to pay his son back? But to me, it also could be a bribe. Yeah.

Or just that he, I mean, he's been in. I don't think he's paying that money back. That's definitely not happening. Saudi or like Russian money or somewhere. I mean, I think that's what is about to happen is like all these. And I've talked about it before when I went to the Middle East in Bahrain, because I realized what Bahrain was, was it's this place where people that can't politically do business with each other have to come do business with each other because you have to do business because people need stuff. Yeah, right. You can do all the theatrics, political theatrics. And I think what's about to hit the fan worldwide is how corrupt every fucking government is. Yeah.

And it's about to be very clear to common people. And I don't mean common people as a poor people. I just mean people that don't think about how the economies work and things like that. So I think, people, it's going to get fucking ugly. New world order. Yeah, I mean, they're already revealing a lot of crazy stuff with the Panama Papers and all that stuff is pretty wild. But it's about to be real clear. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. That's what I mean. It's going to be- Coma focal, we'll be able to understand it. All of us kind of understand the Panama Papers because that's how our brains work and we like to,

yeah, but what about this? What about this? And then most people are like, what time does the show come on? I need my pot. I worked for 10 hours today. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

And I need things to be good or bad. I don't have time for the fucking nuance. And the nuance is about to be vomited into the zeitgeist. Yeah. Yeah. But I think at the very- That was depressing.

I'm sorry. No, it's the truth. But it's also fascinating to me to watch it happen. At the very least, though, the fact that Kennedy's son and Trump were presumably in backroom meetings together is just so, I don't know, it seems like that would be a big story. There's some weird connection there. It's so hard because everything that he does just sounds like a conspiracy theory. Right. So it's just-

Well, I mean, here's the thing. It's at the state of the union and it's you know when you're the president goes around shakes everybody's hand on the way it's trump to justice kennedy that's very nice coming from you and say hello to your boy special guy kennedy your kids have been very nice to him trump they love him they love him in new york he's a great guy I mean, and here's the thing. Yeah, that sounds like just normal pleasantries, but Trump calling anyone a great guy is usually not a great dude. No.

I'm just judging from his. It's like, ah, that's bad. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, we'll see. I mean, I'm sure people will. Thumbs up every time I get on Twitter.

It's like, this is bad. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Constantly. I mean, and yeah. But the nice thing is you go on Twitter, and I've been talking about this on stage, and it gets a nice response.

It's like you go on Twitter and you're like, everything's burning down. And then you walk outside and you look around and everybody's just like, hi. It is crazy. And you're like is every everything's burning down and then you walk outside and you look around everybody's just like hi it is crazy okay okay it's just burning down on that one thing yeah you can be like i'll be walking my dog and i'll be looking at my phone on those and i like when i'm on twitter it's just like and then i just look at my dog and he smiles in his tails wagon it just goes from silence back and forth yeah Yeah, there's just a little old lady like, hey. Oh, hey, Brandy, what's going on? You want a popsicle? And you're like, I do!

Okay. From September 14th, 2017. Because it's one of the last times she tweeted since the movie came out. I went down a couple of feeds. It's been a long time. I had an accident. Fell from a ledge, but all good now. Wishing you all a great and blessed day.

Ladies, do your thing. I just love the idea of John Gotti's wife falling off of a ledge. A ledge. And what happened? Fell from a ledge, but all good. When are you ever near a ledge? A ledge. And what happened? Fell from a ledge. When are you ever near a ledge? I think when you're in that world,

I'm decent on Twitter. I'm real streaky. I'm feeling it i'm feeling it and it's not you're like billy hasn't tweeted in weeks and you're like yeah he's pretty happy yep in the exact same way and then instagram is just fun i like instagram it's like it's a lot of like how i see the world i don't do a lot of selfies or anything but maybe on the stories because that's a fun way to promote my shows so And yeah, that's where you find me. I'm trying to find the one that made me laugh so hard.

This is Dave Schilling, who's a writer I like. He writes about the NBA and stuff. Yeah, we've had Dave as a guest. Could not agree more. And he's agreeing with Deion Sanders, who says, Parents, stop treating your kids like they're friends or spouse and tell them truth. All caps. Be brutally honest with them.

Example, I told my kids Jack and Jill didn't go up the hill to get a pail of water. They went to have sex and get high. Now they're both in jail. Hashtag Coach Prime. I feel like he left a sentence out. What the fuck? Yeah, he's missing some thoughts there. I read this.

That's why I wasn't as prepared for this show as I normally am, because I read this tweet for a good 15 minutes trying to figure out, like, I don't, that's quite elite. Yeah. Oh, man. I'm not, like, I'm with him. I'm like, yeah, I agree with you. You should be honest with your kids.

And then the Jack and Jill thing, we're like, well, okay, you lost me. I just like the idea of his, I hope his kids are like five years old, and they were just like playing patty cake and singing Jack and Jill, and he was like, ah, this song's bullshit. I like to think that they're like 22 and 23, and they're just like, like hey what is dad talking about dad's high again he knows we're all from different moms right dad went out with michael irving again exactly oh are you hanging out with your cowboy friends again uh it's a 90s Cowboys ref for our younger

it's a cocaine reference it's a cocaine reference and I'll share a quick one from Natasha Collier at Crown Jewel on Twitter, Jewel spelled like the vape, she said fine, I'll bite, what is soccer?
