Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from smartless media, campside media, and big money players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits

who somehow pulled off America's third, large-longed. The largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're saying like, oh God, what do we do?

What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example. Listen to Crimless, Hillbilly Heist, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Two rich young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over, but one of them will end up dead, and the other tried for murder three times. It starts with a dream, a nature reserve, and a spectacular new home. But little by little, they lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts.

until one night everything spins out of control listen to hell in heaven on the IHeart radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News keeps you on top of the biggest stories of the day My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day

Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of, I want to trend me da. That one courtesy of vanadium silver on the Discord. in reference to the irish catchphrase yeah if you don't know just start from episode one of this show go at least there's so much lore however many thousands of episodes are start there we can't keep catching everyone up i feel like i've seen people in the discord be like i got behind a little bit so i've been like making my way through oh yeah when people do that i'm like you that's that's dead that's more dedication salute salute to the troops well my name Jack O'Brien, for those who are not going about it that way and are just fighting us for the

first time. And that over there is my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Oh, God. I mean, please, just a little bit about myself. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. I love Arsenal Football Club. I love 90-day fiancé. I love the Lakers. I love food, water, oxygen. Sleep food? Yeah, I'm kind of. That's crazy. I'm in my food era. I'm in my food era. I'm in my food era. What can I say? I'm a food queen. All right. Well, speaking of the food era,

somebody was eating last night, a Frenchman by the name of Victor Wenbing. A big 24 hours for the NBA in both directions. Every direction, yeah. Yeah. I mean, we're not a sports podcast, but that we do cover stories that break through and tests. I feel like this is like it tested the back.

of the, like, reality. What do you mean? The Wemby game? The Wemby game was just like, the game of basketball has been perfect. We can all go home now. Yeah, right, right. It's like, this is actually what you need to look like to compete in this new era of what basketball, the future of basketball that Victor Wemianama has brought on us.

For people who don't know who Victor Wemian, he's a 7 for basketball player from France who 21 years old. 21 years old moves like a guard. um handles like a guard shoots like a guard a guard being the person you know the smaller guys who play outside and is seven foot four and blocks shots like a seven foot four person like one of the best shot blockers in the history of the league he got drafted first two years ago has had these flashes of like oh man this could be really crazy if he like ever just like puts it together and so the NBA had their season openers over the past 48 hours and he uh

has put it all together it's like it was bizarre in how good he was it's this was like the thing I remember when he first the excitement

when he played in France was like this this giant freak to shoot the three and dribble the ball and then everyone was like we'll see what happens we'll see what happens

he was clearly like he's been taking these those first two seasons to build his skill set to build his understanding of his own body and how to develop it and now we're seeing him

like play at a 40 points he scored 40 points Rebounds 70 something true shooting percentage Kemp getting fouled and like making the bucket So like any any questions about like he's not strong enough

Bro he was shooting over AD Like AD was Mugsy Boggs AD who was like traditionally one of the best defenders In the NBA Anthony Davis 7 footer shot blocking specialist And it just looked like me playing on my

you know eight foot rim what just you know against imaginary defender you know what I mean it's just like people weren't there my he just said he's so big he's like he's shooting over the top

at that point you just pray he misses that's right shooting over the top Jason Gallagher on Twitter tweeted every time I watch Wemby play and it's a screen cap from friendship where Tim Robinson says what the fuck kind of guy

is that? I think that sums it up. It's just like your brain is like what is the fuck is happening. This is such a great time for sports. You have Shohei at the Dodgers. You have Wendy on the Spurs. We're like these you shouldn't have all of these

skill sets simultaneously, but they do. For the second time in one week, we're seeing the death of American exceptionalism and just like the globalization of sports coming home. to roost, I get, like showing us how we were basically witnessing up to this point in history,

like watching, you know, the NBA or Major League Baseball and being like, these are the world champions. No, we were witnessing a regional sports league prior to this point. And now that everyone on every continent can hoop or like play baseball or like has that opportunity, we can take the ceiling off our expectations. And as, we do, like watching what they're able to do will look like an optical illusion. It's like my brain

cannot make sense of it. It's very very strange. Every year that idea of like the American All-Stars versus World All-Stars in an All-Star game, it gets to the point where like, do the Americans get the shit kicked out of them pretty soon? That was a good idea for like the

past three years and I think from this point forward it's going to be less and less of a good idea. It's going to be bad for it's going to be bad for the brand I don't know though I guess Joel Embed is no longer in that conversation so they lost one because he looked

freaky out there my Philadelphia 76ers did pull off a come from behind victory behind the play of a rookie who scored the most points in his NBA debut game Vijay Edgecombe put up 34 in his first game in the NBA

and look like D-Wade out there And for those of you who don't like sports, this is now a thing you can say when someone is talking sports, but I go, man, Wembe, huh? Just say that. And they're going to be like, oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. You're going to get a raise or preferential treatment. But here, we give you these tidbits. That globalization of sports thing, that's a good take.

That's a solid take that both take that to a dinner party. Like young people and I feel like old people will agree with. Oh, yeah. The old heads will be like, nah, he sucks compared to. You ever see George Miken, but George Gervin? Anyways, also, somebody pointed out that you could see a tweet this morning that said the NBA is in trouble and not know whether it was referring to the ascendancy of Victor Wembe Yamma or the fact that the FBI did, like, they treated it like it was a, they were taking down a crime syndicate. they arrested like I think over 30 people in one morning

yeah like a dawn raid at dawn to arrest one NBA coach an NBA player who was in his hotel like at a you know his team had an away game in Orlando so they arrested him at his hotel Terry Rosier

and it's an investigation into gambling Terry Rosier the player was supposedly you know part of some bets, giving inside information on his own performance, basically telling people like,

hey, I'm going to exit the game in the second quarter. I plan to get injured at that point. So you can like, you know, bet the under on my points or what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, um,

not great. I'd prefer he was betting on himself to be like, hey, just so you know, I'm about to go off tonight. So, but who does? You know,

it's easier to be. be like, I'm a suck shit, and I'm going to make money off this bed. That's right. It requires a little more skill to go off and then back yourself like that. And then two NBA coaches, one NBA head coach, Chauncey Billups, Mr. Bigshot. He, apparently, so this is why it's a little weird that they did this, like it was part of one criminal operation.

He's involved in a separate allegation that says he was part of a rig. poker game that has like mob connections and look gambling on cards in the NBA nobody's nobody's surprised about that that's something that is long

you know team playing disagreements over card games have long been like a thing that everyone's like oh you want to know why you want to know why he stopped playing or like they had to trade him away he he owed the best player like a hundred thousand dollars and wouldn't pay him

and they kept fighting on the team playing. Anyways, allegedly, Chaunzee Billups and Damon Jones were involved in a illegal card game that... So I was like, okay, like that's... I saw the headline. I was like, okay. I saw the headline.

What did they do? All right, so here are some of the things that were allegedly involved in this card game. X-ray machines built into tables to read face-down cards. Love it. Contact lenses. slash glasses that red pre-marked cards.

Oh, secret cameras in card trays, like you're watching the World Series of poker. You know what I mean? Give them an award. I know. That's dedication. That kind of hardware and infrastructure.

Okay. That is what, like, if you gave me an unlimited budget and we're like, how can you make money? As a 12-year-old, like that's what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. This is how I would do it. Let's do an Austin Powers. Like that, by the way, just need an x-ray machine. The table needs to be exhumed. I've had to evoke Austin Powers in two days.

Yesterday we found out that Michelle Yao's first husband. Oh, Michelle Yo, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Michelle Yo's first husband was somebody named Dixon Poon. Yeah, yeah, and we're like that. A luxury goods magnate. And I was like, that name only makes sense in the Austin Pound. Like, not even in the James Bond universe. That's an awesome power.

No, that's a first draft Austin Powers character. Exactly. Dix in Poon. here's the thing with this one I'm I'm like oh shit they got what did Chauncey Billups do and Rozier do and then I'm like hold on they're like they were involved

in an illegal card game I'm like hello at FBI are you looking for like real crimes to go after because you're not doing it anywhere else but I'm let me just see what's black men you've arrested oh interesting for things

and I'm not saying that whatever is a mob connected card game sure there's, I'm sure there's illegality there. But like, are we for real right now with what's happening here and what the FBI is not looking into, not doing the open corruption everywhere else? This feels like, it just stinks of just like a, uh, PR move. My God, I didn't even think about that. That's crazy. They are all black men being targeted in a sweep for nothing aimed at getting, garnering headlines. I also have to think, all right, one of these like Trump officials got taken in this card game.

Like, you know, you know, Cash Patel was like, he's like, you know what? The cards are too good. Yeah. Chouncy Billups kept laughing at me when I was,

he said I didn't know how to smoke a cigar right. Whatever it is, who fucking knows. But I mean, like, again, what, what are we doing?

What are we doing? There's a, there is a clip of, like, one of the ESPN shows this morning where they're like, talking about this story. The guy's like, and the screen cap,

or they're talking about the betting being out of control. Yeah, the betting being out of control. And it's at the bottom, there's scrolling by a ESPN bet. It's like showing the lines and shit. And I mean,

the guy, to his credit, is like, you know, saying like, and I know there's probably some questions from you guys because we're,

you know, a place that talks a lot about gambling and acknowledges, you know, the fun of legal gambling. And then, the ESPN bet thing just like blinks out and it like they turned it off as he as he acknowledged it maybe a few seconds too late yeah but anyways yeah it is you know so many other things the gambling

industry and now i mean you could view it as like this being legal gambling being like all right now we're getting the illegal shit off the off the streets so that more people just This is such a distraction from everything. Yeah, it's bad. All right. Hey, speaking of distraction, Miles. Yeah. You hear about this fentanyl stuff?

Yeah, man. Thank God they're getting that stuff out of the ocean. I can't go in the ocean. Dude. There's fenty in the ocean, guys. I put my feet in the ocean. I started feigning like one of those cops in 2020. Oh, man.

I put my feet in the ocean. They went numb and then fell off because of all the fentanyl in the water. So, I mean, I had just done fentanyl, but I think it was the ocean. I think it was the ocean. I think it was a saltwater that did me in. But again, you know, with all the illegal war crimes going on in the oceans where the United States is just unilaterally killing innocent people with just allegations, no proof. Allegations of things that aren't like capital offenses that would in any, like even if they were able to prove the thing that they claim. the people are guilty of, it would still be a war crime

to kill those people. Well, what if I said the drugs were really bad on that boat? Like what? Like, cocaine? Okay, what if it was fentanyl? What if I said fentanyl was a weapon of mass destruction? Then is it okay to blow up the boats? I think that's... I think that's... Because, yeah,

I saw this headline that it's saying they're trying to classify fentanyl as a WMD. Are they arguing that, like, it's going to be used as such? Or is it it like metaphorically like could do the same damage well this is okay so tom homin the drunken alley cat who is the pretend borders are or sadly the actual borders are he was at this like future of defense summit axios is future of defense summit and said that this reclassification would quote at least be a discussion uh he basically said um there was a security briefing that like discussed classifying but

the fentanyl is potentially a weapon of mass destruction. He said, quote, when I left that briefing, it was my understanding that they would push that recommendation up to the secretary, but I've been out of it ever since. Did he touch fentanyl? Why has he been out of it ever since? Oh, he meant like out of the loop. Maybe, who knows? I mean, looking at him, he might have actually just been like, and I touched a pile of fenty

and I fucking went down. He touched something that had fentanyl written on it. And a lot of people don't know, but that's equally dangerous. That's enough. That's enough. But again, Lauren Bobert did introduce Fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction act earlier this year. And that would require this whole other, you know, the DHS is countering weapons of mass destruction office to do that classification. But just the fact that it's swirling around rhetorically.

Yeah. I'm like, this is, I feel like that's the only way because the entire world is like you are killed. These are acts of war you're committing as the United States. And I think now they're like, fuck, man. Then I guess we've got to say, what's our favorite way to kill a bunch of innocent brown people? Say they got weapons of mass destruction. And they really hate testing their cocaine. It turns out, Lauren Boberton, you know, Republicans, they're like, we shouldn't have to do this.

It's just get the kids, guys, they have those out there for people. The weapons of, like using, it's wild that they're using the phrase weapons of mass destruction that they use. that they used to famously justify a war that turns out in retrospect was unjustifiable. And that the weapons of mass destruction didn't exist.

You'd think they'd try and do a rebrand, but they're just using a different term. Because WMD is so like, immediately anyone who remembers that terrible era of American history, you immediately do jerk off hand motion. You're like, all right, weapons about it.

Yeah, go ahead. Uh-huh. What is it? They got the yellow cake. They got that yellow cake. Sure, sure, sure. But, yeah, this is, again, I think they're just, they're, they have to do anything to try and justify what's happening because it's clearly not enough. I mean, at this point, they're going to say, like, fucking, you know, Calvin and Hobbs books are going to be weapons of mass destruction or some shit for giving kids imagination. I mean, think about the ideas that it's infecting your children with.

Yeah. Okay. That stuff he ain't alive. that's a that's a stuffed that's just a stuffed animal tiger that's right kids guys kids all whacked out let's uh let's take a quick break and we'll be right back in the heat of battle your squad relies on you don't let them down unlock elite gaming tech at lenovo dot com dominate every match with next level speed seamless streaming and performance that won't quit so you can push your gameplay beyond performance with intel corps

People went wild. Not twice. Stoned. But three times. John and Ann Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular, circular home,

high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble. and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, I'm Kyle McLaughlin.

You might know me as that guy from Twin Peaks, Sex in the City, or just the Internet's dad. I have a new podcast called What Are We Even Doing, where I embark on a noble quest to understand the brilliant chaos of youth culture. Daddy's looking good. Each week I invite someone fascinating to join me, actors, musicians, creatives, highly evolved digital life forms, and we talk about what they love. Sometimes I'll drizzle a little honey in there, too, from feeling sexy in the morning. What keeps them going? And you're maybe my biggest competition on social media. Like when a kid says bra to me.

And how they're navigating this high-speed roller coaster we call reality. In Australia, you're looking out for snakes, spiders, and f***is. Right. Hey, he's no train McDougall. This is like the comment section of my Instagram. Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday. And let's get weird together in a good way. Listen to what are we even doing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House.

And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back we're back and we're starting to see some very real consequences of the government shutdown coming our way specifically no no more snap benefits for hungry and starving americans yeah this is 25 states uh have began telling participants of the snap program

that they won't be receiving assistance checks in come November. So that's like states like Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Indiana, California, Mississippi, Indiana, New Jersey, many like, like fucking half the country. And, you know, I think this should be a bigger story because 42 million people, according to like one of the last sort of, you know, the statistics that they, they were keeping for the SNAP program on 42 million people are going hungry fucking intentionally. Right.

This isn't because they don't want those Epstein files out. Yeah, they don't want that. They don't, whatever, for every reason, for Russell Vought to continue to gut the federal government and these kinds of government agencies, this is happening intentionally. 42 million people will lose their assistance to get food intentionally. And America's never been good about feeding the hungry in the first place. So it's not like this is one of many, you know, fallbacks that these. No, not at all. And I'm sure Fox viewers, when they, because a lot of the times people, like, so much public assistance for MAGA people is basically sort of painted as this thing is like, well, it's only black and brown people and non-white. It's like, you know, the poor people, wink, wink, wink, not acknowledging that everyone needs assistance in this country. For all the Fox viewers who are probably rejoicing that it could be just people of color that were suffered, nearly 40% of SNAP benefits are white. So, you know, the,

That's going to touch everyone's fucking community. You've seen Governor Polis and Colorado's been calling on like food banks or people to just begin donating money to food banks to make up for this gap in coverage. You've heard from just individual business owners saying like they're going to try and offer free meals to people that lost their snap benefits. Like it's falling on individuals to help each other here. But again, this is the first time a president of the United States has intentionally stopped funding this program.

Yeah. And I think that... He could continue funding it, right? Even if the government stays shut down? They can do two... I mean, and the big, beautiful bill, this was always going to be a thing that happened. So, but this is a thing also that Democrats are trying to fight back on and be like, these other things people need, like snap benefits, these ObamaCare subsidies, these are all things that are needed. Because the one version is the Republicans completely own this and be like, yeah, I mean, that was in the bill we passed. And they

could nuke the filibuster. and get the continuing resolution through the Senate and open the government back up again. But they are in this weird position where they don't want to own the absolute horrors that they're going to inflict on people from the big beautiful bill and try and do this weird song and dance

that it's like, no king's rallies, the Democrats, it's because this other thing. No, it's them. And they're now at the point where they don't want to own it so publicly, so now millions of people are going to suffer. I just think it's a big, a big story that affects people in the most direct way, which is their ability to eat food. And I think that's why, like, I sort of put this other story right after it because there's

like this, there's so much outrage over the East Wing, the East Wing of the White House is being demolished. And I get that. I get the fucking visuals of seeing just a good literal metaphor. That's what they should be like. I get that. He's great at creating visual metaphors for what he's doing to the country. It's gaudy. Yes, it's a vector for even more corruption. Yes, that's fucking terrible. It's an insult to the tradition of the presidency. Sure, but this entire fucking, these administrations that he's been in have been an insult to every, just fucking all of us. Yeah. But like, we are killing people in boats for nothing. Trump is taking away benefits

from people that need support. ICE is just rounding whoever the fuck up with no, with no explanation. Epstein files, shut down. There are so many things. things, this is clearly an effective distraction because it's obviously triggered the outrage of the pundit class in and around D.C. But like focus on the things that we as everyday people are facing. I don't want to read another opinion piece about someone reminiscing about how magical the East Wing is and its history. I get that. Like I totally understand that. But like the stakes are just so fucking high right now. I, it's just I don't understand obsessing over this ballroom.

thing. And again, it's an omni crisis. Everything's fucking on fire. But I think 42 million people that's including children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, not getting food assistance is much bigger than private property being destroyed. But again, these are the reflexes of the United States. We see property be destroyed. And like, oh, my God. He did that he made the ultimate crime. He committed the ultimate crime in the U.S. property demolition. He hurt private property. Well, it wasn't really private, so it's all right. It's government property. We hate the government funded. So it's not taxpayer money and every other fucking excuse they want to come out with. But like I found this interesting. This was in just like just in the

news, right, people talking about like, oh God, what's happening? Like here's a DC update. Quote, DC is obsessed with this ballroom. The story makes the front pages of the Times and the post today. The number of cable news minutes devoted to this topic have been unimaginably high. At every DC drinks party, conversation turns to demolition. it's going to dominate more of the discourse through the day. And I've seen people on Blue Sky and Twitter, like journalists be like, this might be the thing that's really going to get people

really, you know, to turn on Trump. Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. The fucking building got torn. You think that's the fucking thing? Like, everyone is so unsurious, man. But anyway, and then, like, there are other points like,

the polling's really bad on this one. Really bad. Like, who gives a shit? There are dozens of other issues that are actually a threat to our safety will be. Pulling's bad on everything he's doing. The pulling's bad everywhere.

But then trying to act like it's... Yeah, the pulling's bad on Gaza, but they don't mention that. But on this one, they're like, what do the people think? Ooh, he's really stepped in it this time. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I mean, like, in a way, this is...

It's because of their total lack of awareness over how people are surviving in this country that it allows things like Zoran's candidacy to come out of nowhere and completely blindside the elite. It's like, what the fuck? They're really on this shit? Yeah.

Absolutely fucking filth. I'm sure you guys, we'll talk about it. Yeah, we'll talk about tomorrow. Yeah. Um, shit. Just racist fucking slop. Anyway. Yeah, I slop.

People's faces changing from one scene to the next. I mean, I think it is, it, I don't know. Part of me sees, there is some optimism in knowing that the people that are the architects of everyone's suffering have no idea what the stakes are for the people that they are oppressing. So when time comes for people to take up for themselves, they're completely going to be not understand what to do. I mean, obviously they'll probably, I mean, we're seeing them gear up with more militarized police. That's one probable response. But like this like, oh my

God, at every D.C. drinks party. Okay, you're talking about literally maybe 3,000 people in the country. Right. Who give a shit about this. That's like, and, and I get everyone, I mean, I have family and D.C. They're very comfortable saying it's just an, eyesore because they're you know nimbies so they're just oh it's just an eyesore that's actually why we can't have that public housing just fucking weird man like you're just we're talking about millions of people not getting food assistance but then it's like the ball and again i understand the corruption that's really the thing they just pivot to that just talk about how nakedly corrupt this administration is also it's just so thoroughly and now like visually evident

that I don't mind that he's like creating a live action political cartoon of what he's actually doing to the country like as a favor for the brains the eyes and brains of people but it does seem like not the thing to focus on at this moment maybe no no I think there are other things that would like an example right 42 million people losing their snap benefit Yeah. Those people, you could probably get millions of people to be like, huh? On that story, ask those 42 million people if they give a fuck about a rose garden. But Miles, go to the drinks party and ask them if they give a fuck about 42 million people starving.

Exactly. They're going to be like, and you know what they say? Oh, my God, it's so terrible. It's so terrible. Have you tried these hors d'oeuvres? No, they're a little. Speaking of terrible. Cruditate, I can't believe they're serving crudete here.

Is it 1990? I mean, obviously. Oh, and then the ballroom. Oh, the ballroom. Get fucking real. All right. We do want to just say congratulations to Buddy Kennedy on winning the World Series. That World Series doesn't start until this Friday, but this dude has already won.

Buddy Kennedy will receive a championship ring, no matter who wins because he played for both of these teams. Yeah, unless everybody gets raptured. he played for both of these teams this season and there is a rule in Major League Baseball that if you played a single inning at the Major League level for a team and they win the World Series, you get King Ralph rules.

Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist,

from Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood except for the part where he steals from rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million that had not bought a ticket to help him escape.
