Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Insight Man, starring Trendzel Washington. Underrated classic. Good one.

I'm Jack. You are Miles. Mm-hmm. Great one. That's one of the good ones. Yeah. I don't know if it's one of the good ones, but I remember being impressed at the time when it came out, and I was like, whoa.

Yeah. Inside, man. Inside, man. Okay. I mean, it gives away the plot twist in the title hey you know what okay i don't know how you know i don't know how it got away from me i didn't have those analytical skills yeah yeah it's a good one though i am we already said who we are but one more time for the people in the back i'm jack that's miles and these are the trends so ronaldo is trending again as is

mbappe uh they're both on people's minds uh ronaldo there is news right yeah he is he is back he just went to so remember yesterday we're like i don't know he might go to man city and that would be a real kick in the you know what's for fans of manchester united uh but he is going to be playing with manchester united you know like when he left united to go to real madrid it was like you know one of the biggest transfers at the time so it's kind of a little little romantic you know coming back to where it all started so So good for him, I guess. I don't know.

So he is leaving his current team to go back to his old team. Yeah. Got it. So he went from, he started at sporting Lisbon. Then he went to Manchester United. Then he went to Real Madrid, to Juventus, back to Manchester United.

Right. Okay. And apparently I think some of the rumors were like, first, like Wayne Rooney, his old teammate at Manchester United was like, he was like, dude, like dude there i can't it'd be really hard for me to believe even if they are saying he'd go to manchester city that he would do that as he felt that way like just from his relationship with ronaldo not that they're super tight but you know they played

like some of the best seasons together and then apparently the his coach at Man United at the time, the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, I think gave him a call, like intervened. And now he's at United. So I don't know. I think it would have been hard to see him playing in the weird Manchester City kit. And then Mbappe, we're still waiting to find out if he's going to go to...

Real Madrid. Real Madrid. It sounds like PSG, his club that he's with to go to real madrid yeah it sounds like psg his his club that he's with now paris saint germain uh who's owned by essentially the government of cutter uh they have like they just said no we don't care if you were offering us like 180 million euros like we don't care we are a government yeah we're cutter i don't know if you've seen this we do human rights violations and we're still banging out here so what's your little 100 milli 200 milli gonna do so yeah mbappe doesn't really have the the sort of leverage i guess to leave at the moment

and also who knows i mean to be honest real madrid is in a bit of a weird spot so he's not a lot of like pundits are like growing up it's like yeah man like i would always want to play with real madrid and the galacticals because i was like their whole policy was having the world's best players play on their team but they're they're in i love that policy i've always i've always been a fan of uh galactical policies just having the my policy is always to have the world's best players on my team yeah and i found that it works out for me yeah but in that way that's like the yankees you know what i mean which is like yeah there's no there's no art to it we just said yeah motherfucker we get the fucking best players pay

whatever the fuck we have to and right that's it cry about it yeah it's so it's not just a um like because in the nba there's always the teams that make this claim where they're like i mean they come to the knicks and like the knicks are the greatest franchise like in the greatest city and uh that never works out for the knicks because they have the worst owner in sports um but then the lakers they do seem to have that pool where like if there's a free agent like it seems like it's la lakers or the miami heat are the two that have the pool to like kind of bring people there's a storied it's like a kid dreaming on playing the yankees you know like even if you didn't like them and i get it not everyone's a yankee fan but just like in your mind it's like if you're a very

little kid you're like that's the team you know like if you know for very little kid, you're like, that's the team. You know, like if, you know, for us in the 90s, it would be like, I want to play with Michael Jordan on the Bulls or whatever, you know. But then things change and it's not the same franchise that you grew up liking. And not to say Real Madrid is that far off, but it's there. They've been in, you know, since Cristiano Ronaldo left, they haven't been, you know, banging it out like they used to. Yeah. All right. Waukesha wisconsin is trending i'm never i'm always a little skeptical when a wisconsin city is trending it's usually not for good things not uh you know milwaukee had the nba championship so shout out to y'all but for the most part not wisconsin doesn't have a great trending record i would say

was it the school board voted yeah Yeah, the school board there. So Wisconsin was giving free lunches to every student that needed them or, you know, regardless of income, like of their family. And Waukesha, Wisconsin is the only school board to say no thanks and not only did they say no thanks thus fucking over anybody who needed that help they're like no it's free you don't it's free what do you mean just you're saying no we're giving it to you for free it's federally subsidized okay fortunately they uh explained their logic and said they were worried uh that it was gonna make students spoiled. What the fuck does that mean?

That is the sort of thing that would have me at a PTA meeting looking like an anti-masker. Like, yeah, we're in these PTA meetings. But again, when we talk about this, you know, Monday, just the way empathy moves in this country it's absolutely fucking nonsense the idea that it could be that it would spoil a child to feed someone the like sustenance that is going to spoil them like again that shows you what how people even view things that are like rights you know or like what is fundamentally something a necessity that all human beings should have access to food is a like what we're saying food is like playing ps5 on a 85 inch led tv or some shit like what if what are we fucking doing scott zolak is trending former patriots quarterback scott zolak uh i'm not familiar with his work even though i spent many years as a

patriots fan and he said in a radio interview that he thinks rap music is distracting cam newton so just a fire take from uh what the fuck what about that just racist bs what are you fucking saying what is that even like i don't even know what what is the logic of being like yeah you know cam newton's like i'm surprised he just didn't say you know what his problem is he's black right black quarterbacks they don't do well that's essentially what i feel like you but you did the coward's way and just dog whistled Dixie and just said, oh, yeah, the problem is this rap music. It's distracting him. Jesus Christ. What are we?

Okay, cool. I mean, he looks, I was picturing somebody in their mid to late 70s. And apparently he is one of the Patriots' current broadcasters and is 53 years old. So I don't know what the fuck he could possibly... Does Cam Newton have like a rap career? No. He said, I'd turn off the rap music first of all

because I think it's distracting for Cam here. In between every throw he's dancing jesus christ what the fuck oh my god dude oh we got so such a long way to go this motherfucker isn't he like i think he's the radio voice of the patriots too yeah so hopefully not anymore uh that i don't know it's boston bro bounced yeah we'll see what happens jesus christ like what happens if he was like what is the music he's like you know what he needs to be listening to some margaritaville right that'll chill him right out dude chill him right out when you're in the pocket and that just hits you you know what i mean yeah this is him criticizing a player who has had 20 times the career that he had but

and also that's not even good advice like you saying that doesn't make you seem smarter though either like it's just racist like it's just bullshit fucking dog whistling there's nothing that's not an actual solution and you don't seem like you know more because you said aha the problems the dancing and all the black shit yeah and as you know what i mean that's like the sorting out his feet oh man you see him in that three-step drop like he's got to sort out that last step right that's probably right that's not what it's about yeah as we've talked about being a black quarterback in college and pro football is just a psychologically traumatizing experience like warren moon one of the best of all time had to like create a support group of black quarterbacks to just like for people to just

like get through their career all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back i'm dr laurie santos host of the happiness lab podcast as the u.s elections approach it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. we'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume.

My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds. Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game.

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

Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.

I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent, revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This
