Hot takes on Mr. Miles of Gray He gets back to the lesson at hand Um, yeah Thank you so much for that Ain't nothing but a cheap bang Inspired, a.k.a. from the one Hannah How do you feel

Do you feel like the intentional misspellings Of early 90s rap songs Has aged poorly Or is it like coming back around on you? Well, you mean putting fang than a thing? Yeah. Well, that's just A-B. Tupac songs are pretty real.

It's weird if it's ain't nothing but a G-thing, baby. It's just helping people get that stank so you don't look foolish. Right. That's true. So then they can use that language when they impersonate people of color on Twitter during a natural disaster. That's right. It's helpful. And also, I do feel like that one is definitely earned.

Some of Tupac's songs are a lot. They really go hard with the unorthodox stuff. Well, hey, you know, he's a renegade. He is. He's a thug life. And if you can't handle Machiavelli, get out the way. He's a renegade. He is. He's living thug life.

And if you can't handle Machiavelli, get out the way. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious and talented Tess Barker. Hello. What's up? How's it going? I'm good. How are you doing? Great.

We are thrilled to have you here. It feels like you have been on the show before. I know. Through Babs. Yeah. Babs Grizzie, my sister from another mister. And just being on the phone with you and I'm surprised this is your first time. Yeah, we get that a lot. Thank you. Yes. Thank you. We're interchangeable,

save for our very different personalities. Yeah. Well, Tess, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment, but first we're going to take our listeners through what we're talking about today. We're going to do a little Eminem rundown, talk about the snubs, talk about what we're happy about. Yeah. We're going to talk about the open racism currently happening in Washington and what it is meant to distract from.

We're going to talk Jeremy Renner because it is our duty as the Daily Zeitgeist to talk Jeremy Renner. But yeah, he is really taken over. I mean, you guys, we don't have to tell you because his new album has taken the airwaves by storm. You can't go anywhere without hearing his new tracks such as Renegade. Nomad. Nomad. Nomad, my bad. I was born a soldier. Right.

It's a great line. The Main Attraction. And then, of course, his Jeep ads, which have been already pre-nominated for Oscars for the short film category. And iHeart Radio Awards. Yes. Yeah.

Actually, they probably have been. We're going to talk about Bastille Day in France. And we're going to talk about TV shows from our childhood that we thought might have been a figment of our imagination. But first, Tess, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I guess I got to say recipe for lemon basil gelato.

Okay. Whoa. You do have to say that. Yeah. That sounds delicious. Yeah. I'd say that's the most sort of typical of me, Google search. Lemon basil gelato.

Yeah, because that's kind of how I deal with the news is just Googling. I like to make recipes to deal with my anxiety. So I'm on a gelato kick right now, too. I just got back from Italy. Yeah, me too. with the news is like just googling rest i like to make recipes to deal with my anxiety so i'm always just like i'm on like a gelato kick right now too i just got back from italy yeah me too i know exactly what you're talking you know what i mean i was just in florence actually um bologna as well yeah i'm just all over tuscany and everyone you know it's been great being i don't know if you heard a show but i am actually going to jump out the window i was waiting i was like please say you just got back did you really oh yeah and

i've been fucking insufferable about it isn't it because you have to be because italy is the opposite of insufferable and you got to spread the gospel although yo i was just reading about this police bus the the italian police busted these neo-nazis that had a fucking surface to air missile oh really yeah there's shit was popping off i mean look they're doing their job yeah uh but yeah it's not all fine craftsmanship. What part of Italy were you in? We were in Rome for three nights, and then we spent the bulk of the trip in Cinque Terre. Oh, wow.

Or Roma, as I call it. Cinque Terre, yes. Yes. Cinque Terre. Yeah, gelato is everywhere, and I was surprised, and I was like, man, it's all got to be good because it's everywhere. But then you realize there are places that are just counting on tourists like me to be be like i'm in italy it's gelato it's gotta be good totally and then until someone's like don't go there yeah go to this one and then my mouth like folded in on

itself it was so good yeah no it's do you know the trick if it's over the metal container like if it's kind of like poofed out like wavy yeah that means it's pre-frozen so you want the gelato that's like level with the metal container. I would have thought the other way. Yeah, I know. Wait, so when you see it all sort of piled up towards the back? You don't want that. Wow.

Yeah. Wait, so what does that mean? What's that a function of? It just means it came already made, whereas somebody was literally in the back making the gelato. Oh, whipping it up. Yeah. Steph Curry with the wrist.

Right, and then smoothed it. Smoothed it across the top. Now gelato is, what's the difference between gelato. All whipping it up. Yeah. Steph Curry with the wrist. Right. Exactly. And then smoothed it. Yeah. Smoothed it across the top. Now gelato is, what's the difference between gelato and ice cream? Egg. Egg. Yeah. More egg in gelato? Yeah.

I don't know if there's any egg really usually in ice cream. I wouldn't know. Okay. Yeah. Got it. It's just, oh, right. Because I think like the ingredients, you're just like cream and sugar. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. And gelato is actually milk. You don't have to be a dick about ice cream, by the way. Okay. Well, look, Jack, you know, once you go to gelato, actually milk. You don't have to be a dick about ice cream, by the way. Well, look, Jack. Once you go to gelato, once you go to Italy. I'm going to have vanilla ice cream.

And look, again, you sound like someone who's not been to Italy. That's all that sounds like to me. Bro, I've been to Italy. Don't talk to me about Italy. I've been, okay? You've been to the Trevi Fountain? Because I got one of my coins right in the good one, the good part. Oh, yeah.

My dream came true. Yeah. Custard has egg, right? Yes. Okay. Yes. Gelato is just pretentious custard. Yeah.

I'd say custard is poor gelato. Okay. Poor man's gelato. Yeah. Yeah. Poverino. Poverino. Poverino.

And how do you make lemon basil gelato? Oh, man. So you start with the typical vanilla base. Then you add a little zest. Okay. A little bit of juice. But it does have cream. Milk.

Yeah, milk. There's no milk. Okay. It's not a sorbet, though. It's whole milk. Exactly. Right. Grazie.

You'll have to excuse me. And then you add the zest, and then you let let the basil leaves like, what was the word? Chill? Marinate. Something like that. Sure. You let them sit for like half an hour and then you put it in an ice cream maker. And then what makes it really good is you drizzle olive oil as the last step.

Yeah. I had aged balsamic on some vanilla gelato and I thought that was going to be not good. Again, they know what they're doing over there, Jack. You simply must go. You simply must. Simply must. What is something you think is overrated? Oh, God.

So many things, but I'm going to go with, just because it's timely, I really hate award shows. Award shows? Yeah. Oh, man. Sorry.

You're just already stepping on our act one here. Okay. We'll just freestyle for the first time uh no i mean they're fine it's just like they're they're people they're so like transient like they don't matter and they're given so much import and you know it's that kind of thing of like what's the point of grading art right i like the outfits i guess yeah well i think it's fine like you know for if you you get an award great shout. Shout out to you. But I think people who, like, are destroyed by a lack of a nomination, I'm like, don't also put that weight into that either.

Exactly. This shit is so subjective. So to just be like, well, I appealed to this microscopic group of retired filmmakers or whatever. Like, that's not, you know, don't use that to feel bad. It's like a list with trophies yeah yeah it's descended from like industry awards that happen in hotel ballrooms where like the insurance industry gives one of their sellers like top insurance salesperson of the midwest and you know it's all bullshit exactly except we're gonna get so animated when we talk about the people who

weren't nominated. So it's like, I mean, a lot of this goes back to me not winning top insurance salesperson. Yeah. I was going to say, you always bring that up. Really should have stepped up your performance.

What is something you think is underrated? Underrated. Um, I'm going to go with the library. Yeah. Yeah. I really liked the library and for a lot of reasons, like it's a great place to work.

They have free Wi-Fi. The water fountains there are always nice and cold. Yeah, they are, aren't they? Yeah, they've got great tap water at the library. Yeah, free books. Free books.

What kind of, do you go there to work or you like to get a little book, maybe research it? What do you do? I do mostly work there. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

And I mean, I'm kind of like addicted to buying books, so like I should use the library more, but it just doesn't feel the same if I know I have to return it. That said, yeah, I'll check it out. A lot of times if I'm listening to an audio book, I check out the library book so that I can do both.

That's a good idea. Without paying for the book twice. On Amazon, that's called WhisperSync. But that only works if you're- It's called We Own You. That only works if you're doing- It's called WhisperSync. But that only works if you're- It's called We Own You. That only works if you're doing- It's called Fuck Your Royalties. And finally, what is a myth?

What's something people think is true you know to be false? That caffeine stunts your growth. Okay. Yeah, I've been- It actually makes you taller. It makes you taller. Yeah, I'm 5'11", and I've been drinking coffee every day since I was 10. Oh, really?

Yeah. Since 10. Yeah. Wow. What's your secret, Olympic gold medalist Tess Barker? Coffee since I was 10 every day. That is funny how that was a thing parents used to be like, it'll stunt your growth.

Yeah. And I mean, I never had a taste for coffee until cold brew recently, but yeah, I wonder if it does help you grow. Do you think that was your secret? It either helps me grow or maybe I was supposed to be like 6'4". Maybe it's true. Are people in your family tall? Yeah.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Would you want to be 6'4"? No, I'm like perfectly fine as tall as I am. I feel good that I'm like right under the six foot mark. Yeah.

You're a great height. Were you an athlete? No, I actually, I became very athletic when I was like 18 or 19, but I was a child actor. So my parents actually lied to me and told me that I was bad at sports. Because I like.

They're like, let's make that money, baby. You're like, mom, I'm being scouted by Georgetown. Oh, no, no, no. To be on the men's basketball team. They don't know what they're doing. Because you're acting so well, they don't know who you are. Exactly. They asked me if you were Allen Iverson earlier.

That's funny. What was the biggest thing you were in as a child actor? I was in a couple commercials, and then I had a lot of close calls. Close calls. It was between me and the girl who got it in the Addams Family movie, The Girl Scout. Oh, shit. That was almost me. Oh, no.

Really? That was almost me. And you would have been at Camp Chippewa? Yeah. Then in the sequel, she has a huge part. And that girl was like my nemesis. Like, we saw each other at every audition. Yo, that's so funny.

Yeah, Mercedes was her name. And then I also almost got the part of Ruby Sue in Christmas Vacation. Holy shit. It was between me and the girl who got it. And that's the first time I ever cussed was for that audition. Really? Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. Dang. Mercedes McNabb. Yep. Canadian. Fucking Mercedes. Oh, she's back in Canada now? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Dang. Mercedes McNabb. Yep. Canadian. Fucking Mercedes. Oh, she's back in Canada now? Retired actress.

Jesus. What is she doing? Retired. Wow. Aren't we doing well? He'd really like that. Retiring at 37. Yeah.

Yeah. So also, I would say, so 10-year-olds just know that you can drink as much caffeine. Oh, shit. Her dad played for Arsenal. Shout out to her dad. Oh, yeah. Mercedes' dad. Bob McNabb.

All right. Her dad's cool, but Mercedes, you should have stepped aside and let Tess take that role in that. Thank you so much. Official. But I wouldn't want to be retired now, so maybe it's good that... Yeah.

Yeah. So yeah, just 10-year-olds, you can drink as much caffeine as you want. It'll make you famous and good at your chosen career. Smoking also. They say it's bad for you as a kid. No, it makes you look way cooler.

Is being cool bad for you? Yeah. You actually technically aren't 10 when you smoke. You're basically a teenager. Whatever you feel when you take that first drag, that's how old you are. Yeah. That's your true age. That's actually, when I was 15, I went to go get my belly button pierced on the Venice

Boardwalk, and I lit up a cigarette on my way to go walk to ask the guy for it because I was like well he's obviously going to think I'm 18 because I'm smoking a butt and it worked really? yeah

even when you passed out from the nicotine? you're like getting that cigarette and I'm like wobbly you're like oh shit I shouldn't have ripped the filter off of this thing aged me three years

yeah yo I love that kind of logic that kids use when they're doing shit like that. Like, well, by the transitive property, the cigarette would indicate that I have 18 years. Therefore, yeah. It's math. You do it at a liquor store. They're like, sir, you can't smoke in here.

What are you doing? Come in. Sorry. Can't stop. Sorry, just betting on horses outside. Ringing cars over here. Rolling craps in front of them. Thank you so much.

So my hotel room is booked along with my rental car. I must be at least 27. Yeah, can I have a Zima? Six-pack of Zima. Six-pack of Zima. That was the first alcohol I ever drank was a Zima. Oh, yeah? Did you like it?

Refreshing. Yeah, I think you like it? Refreshing. Yeah, I think I liked it. Refreshing, of course. I drank a Zima and was like, wow, that was cool. Did you pretend? You weren't drunk, right? No, no. Did you ever pretend you were drunk?

No. You never did? No. I did. My cousin and I tried to get drunk because my dad doesn't drink, so he used to have O'Doul's at my uncle's house. My cousin and I tried to get drunk off O dad doesn't drink, so he used to have O'Doul's at my uncle's house. My cousin and I tried to get drunk off O'Doul's. Yeah.

Little did you know, huh? We knew it was non-alcoholic beer, too, but we were kind of banking on the 0.3% doing something to us. Yeah. Three of those is a 0.9. Right. And then you're basically fucking wasted. You better call the cops.

Yeah. Call an ambulance. All right. Sorry, Tess, but it is time to talk about the Emmy noms. Okay, let's do it. Emmy nom rundown. We want to shout out Anthony Kerrigan as NoHo Hank getting recognized. Shout out to Daniel O'Brien, now Emmy nominated writer on John Oliver.

Shout out to my sisters Maya and Anna for their writing nomination for Pen15. Y'all did it. Oh my god. I'm so fucking happy for them. Although I think she should have been nominated for her performance. That is a snub because the make out scene is

one of the funniest pieces of acting I've ever seen. When she avoids the kiss and goes into this weird snake dance move. Yeah, they nailed a physical comedy on that show. So good. And then I also want to shout out

Benicio Del Toro for getting nominated for a performance in which he gives one of the strongest choices, I think. Dan, do we have that queued up? All right. We're just going to, it's just one line read.

Just set this scene up. Well, if you don't know, it's from Escape at Dannemora about those two guys who escaped prison like three or four years ago. By seducing. By seducing a woman who worked in the prison. And at one point, she was having a relationship with both of these inmates. inmates and at one point she's getting a little shaky about the whole scheme and he's just basically letting her know like we got to keep it low but he's a you know he's a violent inmate he's a violent he's a lifer but also he talks like a person for the throughout the because we're only going to hear the one line read so he talks like a human being well it's still benicio it's

still benicio so he whispers a little bit and like is is cool but uh let's let's hear how uh he addresses her at the end of one episode hey don't tell anybody anybody. What? Yeah. It almost sounds like when someone burps the alphabet. Right. It does. No, it feels so much like a bit.

And then Patricia Arquette also nominated her reaction off of that is what your reaction would be. She's just like, what the fuck was that? And then the episode ends. Yeah, it's a... That show, again, if you follow in on Twitter,

her and I have very strong feelings about Eric Lang's performance as Lyle. Also a snub, yeah. That's a snub. That's a snub because I have enjoyed your performances as Eric Lang as Lyle. Also a snub, yeah. That's a snub. That's a snub because I have enjoyed your performances as Eric Lang as Lyle. Yeah, he's just, I knew you was having an affair on my on me when you

ordered off the locale menu at King Walk. Okay? That's a line. That's a line. That's amazing. Because there's so many times he's suspicious of her having an affair and he's like, you know, the guys at the prison are saying, she's like, Lyle, stop. And he's like, her having an affair and he's like you know the guys at the prison are saying she's like lion stop and he's like

okay and like literally moves on and he's in the process of being fucking destroyed right and I'm like this guy had

I thought he was some fucking guy off the street right and I come to realize I'm like oh he was Stuart in Lost the dude who was like

living in the fucking underground the bunker and shit oh really yeah he's had a he's like this character actor and I was like oh my the way he transformed Lost, the dude who was living in the fucking underground, the bunker and shit. Oh, really? Yeah. He's this character actor. And I was like, oh my, the way he transformed. And then shout out to everybody when they see us.

Anyone who was on screen acting was nominated. They're like, I think I saw somebody go by. Give them a nod. Very, very earned. That is one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever watched. What else do we have that we like? Chernobyl got a ton of nominations, as it should have.

Did you watch Chernobyl? No, do I need to? Yeah, if you like. Right now, actually. Let's actually stop right now. Watch the whole thing. There's five episodes. Let's take a five hour break. the whole thing. Yeah, there's five episodes. Okay, so let's take a five-hour break. Okay.

Five-hour energy. Dope. All right. And we're back. What did you think? I loved it. It was gripping. It was a bit much, but worth it.

A bit much. Kind of saw some of the stuff coming. Turns out a lot of people got hurt. Yeah. You know what's so weird? Do you ever have... I can't believe that that... So that's the dude who's down in the hatch in Lost

and riding the stationary bicycle at the beginning of season two? Wait, sorry, that what? He's the dude from Lost who's riding the stationary bicycle at the beginning? Yeah, because he's the dude who's living down in the bunker. He's already in the hatch? He's there from the scientists. Do you ever have a thing where you replace one performance? Because that dude looks exactly like Jason Manzoukas in my memory.

So you thought the whole time that was Jason Manzoukas? Yeah, just my memory of that. I haven't watched it since it came on the air. Well, he kind of had his wild, long hair. Right, huh. Yeah. Man, I thought Manzoukas was out here. Yeah, he was doing it.

He was doing his thing. Doing it big. Yeah, anything else we want to shout out? Oh, didn't Megan Amram finally get an Emmy? Oh, hell yeah. Yes. Yo, so shout out to Emmy. Or Megan.

An Emmy for Megan has finally happened. Yeah. And I feel like these are, I used to aggressively not give a shit about the emmys but now that tv is basically as has a lot of content that's as good as the movies uh i do like this is starting to be more of a thing is it not always the emmys though i mean truly it feels like it's always the emmys to me right yeah that Yeah, that's true. I feel like those, especially in LA, when those four-year considerations, billboards go up, I'm like, I thought you just took them fucking down. Exactly. It's like the Pantages posters.

Like, a new show's in town. Here's the new thing we're considering. Right. It kind of fucks up my sense of time in this city because there are certain things that show up, like the Chabad telethon around Hanukkah. Like, you see those on La Brea a lot. I'm like, okay, it's the holidays. Those are the seasons in LA. Or like other LACMA things come up. I'm like, okay, the LACMA season's starting.

But then the fucking Emmy banners just show up everywhere. I'm like, I don't, is it August or January? Yeah. The weather and other changes here, we need something to break up the consideration. I think Garcetti is a terrible mayor for not handling that issue. Not the homelessness issue yeah but that issue right shame on you that's that's his main thing that uh somebody needs to run on to unseat him that'll

be me yeah mayor miles i will take care of the me fyc advertisements so we can get a sense of time yeah for people who don't know, there's a whole, basically all L.A. billboards. The L.A. billboard culture is aggressive. It's too much. It's gotten weedy, too. Yeah, I mean, look out the window right now. What do we got?

Out the window right now is, one is for weed. It's gotten very weedy. And then two things for netflix yeah yeah yeah and basically all billboards are taken over by for fyc which means for your consideration is just ads aimed at people who vote on emmys right which is pretty wild like that's a very select group of people but i think billboards are generally aimed at very few people. I've heard of billboards being bought because they know that a certain celebrity drives by that road on a given day.

And they know that it's going to seem like they're really doing their job if they have a big billboard on sunset or whatever. Well, yeah. And it's clearly in that part of sunset right before it turns into Beverly Hills part of the sunset because that's when they catch people leaving Beverly Hills or going through sunset like up to West Hollywood and being like, oh, okay, here I am. And like as much as I'm going to retract, I still think the Emmys are bullshit or no word shows are bullshit, but that kind of stuff makes me love LA. Yeah, it's cool.

Like that's so ridiculous. It is. It's absurd. Yeah, there's no other city like this. The amount of money spent just to like massage someone's cool. That's so ridiculous. It is. It's absurd. Yeah. There's no other city like this. The amount of money spent just to massage someone's ego. Yes. It's like, yeah, we spent 40 grand on that. I feel like I'm

less in touch with popular culture now that I no longer drive across, like drive down Sunset across all those billboards because that's how I found out about all new shows. Or me. Yeah. When I was like, hire me for podcasts. Right.

Yeah, exactly. Great investment. Yeah, that was actually. Kind of still upside down on that thing. Just innocent, pointing to the. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them.

Why is that? Just come here and play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black.

I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil.

I ain't really hear them. Why is that? Just come here and play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

Listen to the making of a rivalry. Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And the president is has apologized, backtracked on all the racist stuff you said, right? Is that how that thing's? No, right. No, that's not how the world works. He is doubling down.

I was driving over here today and Lakshmi Singh, and I forget who's her co-host on NPR. Anyway, they literally had a breakdown while they were giving the news. They just stopped and they were like, what about if you're just too depressed to give the news? Like they just literally had like a come to Jesus on NPR on the way over here. And they're like, we kind of can't handle it anymore. Really? Yeah.

Oh my God. Yeah. Okay. I mean, I didn't know that was an option. Should we just do that? Because this is terrible. What if I'm not feeling all of this bullshit? Yeah.

Well, I mean, it must be hard on NPR because they fucking thread the needle in the weirdest ways sometimes. Maybe that's what it is, too, where they're like, you know, because we're publicly funded, like we have some public funding, like don't get too hot on the government, even though it's racist.

Try and, again, rack your minds for some other way to describe this shit other than just straight up racism. But hey, you know, Lakshmi, I get it. He's trying to get a check. but there's still like that neoliberal like yeah mainstream media point of view um so i could see it's like nothing's ever too bad ever at all really so carry on go to work but also this yeah and this may have happened it's intellectual yoga which is perfect for neoliberals yeah exactly but, so it seems like Trump's plan continues to be just keep doubling down on the 35 to

45% of the country that thinks racism is hilarious. And yeah, his latest tweet parade, tweet thread, tweet storm, whatever. I don't know. Do we even want to read it it's just so absurd because it was already people were like yo this is racist what the fuck are you doing he's like it's not racist and actually they should apologize to me right and then he had like a fucking press conference where he was like you know what if you don't like fucking america get the fuck out then basically it was like the gist and then so then i think when he sees the

news not moving like being like oh, they should apologize to him. Actually, he's not racist. And seeing like all the just clumsy ways that GOP congresspeople and senators and officials or whatever are like not really able to describe it in a way that seems like it's not racist. Everyone looks like they're just finding weird excuses. Right. He continued to tweet. Everyone looks like they're just finding weird excuses. Right. He continued to tweet. So then he put this on, was this Tuesday morning? The Democrat Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate.

And yet they get a free pass and a big embrace from the Democrat Party. Horrible, anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist, and public shouting of the F word, among many other terrible things. Then goes on about how blah, blah, blah. Like the, the Democrats need to fucking take them on. Then he let that cook and be like,

Oh wow. Way to go. Then he has to come picked up his fucking phone again. Also those streets were not racist. I don't have a racist bone in my body. Now that has officially become the thing that racists say. Yes, we say this all the time. Has been for a while. It has, but yeah, like the fact that he doesn't realize that,

or maybe he, is this dog whistling? Is he like, ha ha, get it? Because racist people say that? No, they have to deny that racism, because we are in an era where most people say like, yes, racism is bad. We're not in a point yet where people like, there's a whole thing like, no, racism is good.

Right. Yeah. It's like still seen as it. We're careening towards that. Yeah. It's still sort of like this third rail. So the only way you can defend it is to never say that the thing is racist because that's mostly acknowledged as not good.

Right. And so, and most people realize like when you start being like, well, what's wrong with that? Right. Like not good. So I think that's where he has to be like, it's not racist. what's wrong with that right like not good so i think that's where he has to be like it's not racist i have to deny that racism exists and then he can fucking you know keep yeah doing harm but just the how how does anybody think i don't have a racist

bone in my body is not just like well because racist right here yeah well if you're racist you're gonna be like but I need that excuse. I don't have a racist bone in my body, but my mind is horribly racist. And so is my soul. So are all my muscles. If you cut me open, my bones are not racist. My actions and my thought patterns are. Well, there's only so many times.

And maybe you can't even use the some of my best friends are black thing. That's their favorite one. They love that one. But maybe if you don't even have that, maybe you can't even use the some of my best friends are black thing. That's their favorite one, too. They love that one. But maybe if you don't even have that, maybe you don't even have any friends of color. Then you just got to go straight to, yeah. Yeah, my bones, then. Yeah. My bones, okay, look, no friends IRL are non-white. Right.

But my bones, deep down, they are also white. Right. Is that them sort of unconsciously realizing, I'm a little racist, but like bone deep, like really deep down I'm not. Is that kind of what they're saying? It must be like, yeah. If God made me choose between being racist or not, I think I'd pick not. While I'm on Earth, I'm going to be racist as fuck because I'm ignorant and afraid of all this other shit. So going on with that tweet, I don't have a racist bone in my body.

The so-called vote to be taken is a Democrat con game. Republicans should not show, quote, weakness and fall into their trap. There should be a vote on the filthy language, statements, and lies sold by the Democrat congresswoman, who I truly believe, based on their actions, hate our country. Get a list of the horrible things they have said. Whatever. Going on. Blah, blah, blah.

So the whole thing is a reaction to Nancy Pelosi is doing what she can by basically making people take a vote on whether or not they condemn, yes, condemn this language. So you can have everybody on wax being like, where do you fall on this? At the end, he talks about how unpopular

Omar and AOC are. Is that true? Are they because their policies, which are, you know, like populist and the things that he ran on and then failed to deliver on seem to be popular. So, like, is it just they're unpopular because they're people of color who are associated with socialism? Well, no. I think, first of all, that whole weird poll he had is just garbage. Right. Yeah.

It's very, they call it dubious. It's a tough sample. All Republicans have been, and Fox News and everybody who is a political strategist is like, well, yeah, if you want to associate yourself with these folks, then yeah, you're going to lose. And like Peggy Noonan, who I go to for all my political analysis, and Tucker Carlson both had op-eds recently where they were like, you know, every time AOC speaks, the Democratic Party gets hurt.

And I feel like maybe that's just like... You want to know what the sample group was? Who's that? For that poll? Yeah. Likely general election voters who are white and have two years or less of college education. Is that true?

Those are the people who he's referring to. And I don't even know if they're unpopular within that group because they love hating them. I mean, is someone unpopular if you're constantly talking about them? Right. Eventually, they might begin to love to hate them. Like, AOC might become Joffrey. And they're like, you know what?

I kind of fuck with AOC. The way it makes me feel. Joffrey, if he was trying to get you, like, really good health care and, like, economic aid. Like Mary Louise from, like, Big Little Lies. Yes. Eventually, you might be like, I think I like her. You would miss from Big Little Lies. Yes. Eventually you might be like, I think I like her. You would miss her if she was gone.

Now that we have her, we need her. Right. I guess my question is how much their talking points is conventional wisdom and just being like, well, socialism, bad. And how much of it is

them being scared of them and knowing like- I think they, well, this whole, him doing that is A, put all the Democrats on the same page suddenly. Right. Like last week it was like knife fight between Pelosi and the squad. Right. And now it's like united front against Trump. Yeah, yeah.

So I think now he's, I don't know. I mean, part of it, again, that's why this whole section, it's like he's sort of trying to get his base riled up. But that's not a thing that's going to get a lot of swing voters in. And especially when you look at battleground districts, that matter that he won, he's losing in many of them, if not like 90% of them. So I think it's part get the base riled up, part fucking distraction because there's all this other shit going on. Because if you really look at all this other shit that we're not talking about, I would be doing this shit too if I was a scumbag like this. The thing here is that I think most people on the news,

you know, the lamestream media, all the cycle is being consumed by asking Republicans like, why aren't you condemning this? Right. Sure. Because you're hearing all kinds of shit. Like someone literally said, we aren't racist because party of Abe Lincoln.

Oh, really? Yeah. They love that. It's like, that's not the same. Why do they keep, it's not the same Republican party. Yeah.

That just shows that you know nothing of American history. That's like Sean Lennon being like, all my music's good because my dad, John Lennon. Okay.

I'm like, some stuff's good, but don't, I keep writing that. Okay. Do something for yourself, my man. I get brand recognition. But and then you also have like these really tired exchanges like you have like these other exchanges where Kevin McCarthy is asked the minority leader in the House.

Like, isn't this shit racist? Like, isn't this about racism? Listen to this really cool response. Mr. Leader, were the president's tweets that said go back racist? No. And I do not believe the Speaker of the House was racist last week other when those individuals on her side of the aisle who are claiming the president's racist, when they claim she was racist either. I do not believe that. I believe this is about ideology. This is about socialism versus freedom. It's very clear what the debate is happening.

I understand when I listened to their press conference yesterday, they talked more about impeachment than anything else. Even one of those individuals, this wasn't the first time they talked about impeachment. No shit. Hold on. I just cut it off there. It doesn't even matter. Yeah, because they're fucking constitutional officers who have an obligation to impeach if they're seeing crimes being committed. We're in the middle of a national emergency yeah so and they're like and these firefighters are

like what about this this four alarm blaze it's you know they had they had their motives you know they came in like this hot yeah okay sure try and make this about socialism versus freedom what the fuck does that even mean yeah uh but you know more red meat uh-huh also um kellyanne conway is not she she's not holding it together right now during this national discussion on racism uh let's just listen to a quick exchange she had what's your ethnicity what why is that relevant no no because i'm asking you a question. My ancestors are from Ireland and Italy. My own ethnicity is not relevant to the question I'm asking. No, no, it is, because you're asking about, he said, originally.

Wow. Someone just asked, like, don't you think those comments are racist? Because, no, because they're asking where they're originally from. Right. What's your ethnicity? Where are you from? It's like, wait, hold on. How could I be racist when you also have a race?

Yeah. Right? Exactly. Oh, but okay. Case closed, bitch. Weird. You're a race. And I'm a race.

Right. So where's the racism? End of story. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, eracism. So usually when Trump is just refusing to end any sort of, you know, slap fight, uh, controversy, uh, this willfully, there are some things that he's trying to distract from. Uh, and I don't know, man, this Epstein thing keeps going, uh, nonstop. So he had, they, they were in court again,

cause he's trying to get bail being like, Hey, can I give you all this, all this money's to hold onto and I won't leave. Uh, and then there was a lot of stuff that came out during this bail hearing or just trying to figure out if he was going to get bail. First of all, they found out many more victims came forward after his arrest was made public. He still is giving the most vague reasons to where his money has come from or why he has all this money. People are starting to come around to the explanation.

Evans and I were putting forth that he was basically built by blackmail. Right. Because yeah, it doesn't make sense. His rise is like, what? Yeah, it's very confusing. Also when they raided his house, he had

a fucking just safe full of cash and diamonds. Jesus. He's like a cartoon villain. Yeah, as well as a foreign passport with his picture a different name that listed his residence as saudi arabia no shit so the web gets fucking wider you know what i mean like and i can only imagine dude what the fuck are you doing when like you're getting hooked up with a saudi passport fake ass name being like if it gets hot right here it is use your smoke bomb like bypass canada straight to saudi yeah whatever it is exactly so yeah i would say that that is something that he doesn't want people to talk

about because when that news was ramping up everything was about like what's your connection to him all the questions he was having to field were about what's how do you know this guy like are y'all tight right What about this thing you said where you're like, yo, he loves to party. He likes him kind of younger. So, of course, now all the questions

being asked is like, is this racist? Is what you said racist? Come on. We know this shit is racist. Get back to the fucking, press him about all this other shit that is deeply disturbing.

It's like he pissed his pants and so to distract, he poured a soda down the front of his shirt. Right? Yeah. Exactly. Billy Madison style deeply disturbing. It's like he pissed his pants and so to distract he poured a soda down the front of his shirt. Exactly. Billy Madison style. Also, remember a month ago he was credibly accused of rape by a celebrity? It's like three weeks ago.

It does seem like it was a year ago. There was also something I saw being circulated about a lawsuit that was filed against him and Jeffrey Epstein a few years ago where Jane Doe had claimed that they had both raped her when she was 13. Yeah, that was filed against him and Jeffrey Epstein a few years ago where Jane Doe had claimed that they had both raped her when she was 13. Yeah. Yeah. No, that was happening during the election. And then days before her press conference, she just kind of dropped off.

Right. That was her off the grid because she was scared. And even in her, I think in the filing was saying he was threatening my life even at the time the abuse was happening. Right. So again, but these are other things. If racism and sexual predation exist, then the GOP can't exist. Right. So that's why they have to argue everything away. Oh, it's not racist.

Well, I don't know about him. Because if you do that, then look, you got to look up. And not to dwell too much on the 2016 election, but WikiLeaks, we're learning more about what Julian Assange was up to when all the shit was hitting the fan for the DNC. Yeah. Yeah. He was, CNN was basically saying like, he was using the Ecuadorian embassy as like metal HQ. Right. Like the fucking control center for all the WikiLeaks stuff.

So right after the election, apparently he had been watched the second he had entered that embassy. They're like, no, we're going to keep our fucking eye on him. But after the election, they really ramped it up. And then as they look at all this other evidence, there is a lot that basically says he was taking meetings with internationally known hackers, as well as Russians that were kremlin linked having like

hours-long meetings with them and the ecuadorians were just basically like yeah we basically see that he has ties to russian intelligence and there's no way that he wouldn't know like the provenance of some of this material that was coming to him coming to him so the timelines that they talk about here are pretty damning like Like one that is, you know, interesting. He had a meeting with like RT, like Russia's propaganda channel. Their London bureau chief who like came by for a meeting, gave him a USB drive. I don't know. Maybe have some cool YouTube clips.

Right. And then in July, when the RNC stuff was kicking off, some mysterious man who was like wrapped in like a mask and sunglasses who you could not see make out their identity at all, came to the embassy and delivered a package to Julian Assange, but a security guard accepted it. And the security company was doing surveillance was like, why did that guy just leave his post and accept a fucking package from a dude in a fucking like invisible man costume right and basically on that same day even in the muller report on this day where the guy came through with a package wiki leaks informed the russian hackers that it had received the files and was preparing to release

them soon now there's no evidence to say you know concretely that that's what that was but there are a lot of dates that overlap along with like the moment the Americans told the Ecuadorians, like, we suspect Julian Assange is up to something and they cut off his internet connection. He had his like goons or WikiLeaks employees come to the embassy and move a bunch of computer equipment and hard drives the fuck out of the embassy. Oh, yeah. So again, that's the kind of thing, because if you recall, I think during 2016, Donald Trump said a lot of stuff about WikiLeaks. Right. WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks. I love WikiLeaks. These WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks. As confirmed just today by WikiLeaks. It's been amazing what's coming out on WikiLeaks. They want to distract us from WikiLeaks.

The wonder of WikiLeaks. Okay. So, of Wikileaks. Okay. So, of course, yeah. He loves that word. Yeah, you have all this other stuff coming out and you're like, yeah, yeah, racism.

Right. Interesting. I mean, isn't Ecuador like hot year round too? Right? Yeah. It's warm down there. Yeah, the idea of wearing

a full-blown face mask. Oh, no, no. This is the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Oh, okay. Sorry, my bad. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. It's warm down there. Yeah, the idea of wearing a full-blown face mask. Oh, no, no. This is the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Oh, okay. Sorry, my bad. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know that the two are linked necessarily in Trump's mind because he's always racist, but it does seem like he has an instinct to control the media cycle. Do you think he knows he's racist or do you think he's convinced himself that he's actually not? I think probably he's convinced himself he doesn't. I just played golf with Tiger Woods. Right.

I'm racist. Right. I didn't even make him carry my bags the whole time. Jesus Christ. So I'm sorry. What was your question? Because I'm a motherfucking ally. Okay. Keep it moving. Find a new angle. Find a new angle. All right. So, I'm sorry, what was your question? Because I'm a motherfucking ally. Okay?

Keep it moving. Find a new angle. Find a new angle. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio appheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and so is jeremy renner with some hot new fire ass jams uh he's got

so he there's these two Are they new ads? They came out a week ago Okay so about a week ago Jeremy The Ren The Ren Fair Dropped some hot new Jeep ads That are

They're really works of art At least you could tell in his mind They're works of art Because each one begins with title, title card, in quotes, the name of the song. Or it's a short. Yeah, it feels like a short. Right. The name of the song and then music by Jeremy Renner.

And then, so let's just kind of go through the plot of two of these ads. the plot of two of these ads. In the main attraction, the short film, the main attraction, Jeremy is at a black tie event, but he- But it's still at a weird, divey-ish bar. Right. Or a lot of wood paneling. You can tell he doesn't want to be there, though.

Yeah, a lot of people in ball gowns, a lot of people in tuxedos. And he just keeps looking towards the back of the room. Get him out to the open road. At one point, it looks like he's with a woman at a bar and they're waiting for their drinks. But then a jeep pulls up, and he's like, you know what? I'm taking this bow tie off.

Ditches her. Hops in the jeep and starts smiling. Well, first of all, we see that he's playing his own song, the main attraction. Oh, that's right. So you see that on the display. On Apple Music. And then that's the first time we see him he's playing his own song, the main attraction. Oh, that's right. So you see that on the display. On Apple Music. And then that's the first time we see him start to smile

is when he hears his own music. And then he drives out into the mountains, gets to a small roadside dive bar. Finally, Jeremy Renner is with his people, the common man. And then we see... It just turns into a concert. Yeah, I think it's supposed to be behind the dive bar.

There's a giant concert with like a thousand people there. She's going crazy as Jeremy Renner fronts a rock band and sings the main attraction. And that's it, lesson learned. And that's it. Lesson learned. Yes. If you're a person who's just trying to break out of the norm, hop in your Jeep, dude, and do a concert and the weird fake Pappy and Harriet's.

Right. So the other one is, what do we say it's called? Nomad. Nomad, yeah. For the song Nomad. Right. Nomad, yeah. For the song Nomad. Right, for the Renner joint Nomad. Starts out in that familiar car commercial location, diner, Renner sitting there looking at his diner menu.

Title card comes up, quote, Nomad. By Jeremy Renner. Music by Jeremy Renner. And then he looks out the window and sees a Jeep there. And then flash into his mind, we are with Jeremy Renner just tearing ass around the desert in the Jeep with a hot babe in the passenger side seat. Who's that? Yeah. Because he's sitting alone at the dining van.

So I think we're meant to, or at least I assumed we were meant to think this was the waitress. We saw a waitress walk by the screen really briefly. And so maybe it's like one of those ads where he's like dreaming of doing something wild and just being like, come on. Why don't you leave with me? You're with me, babe. But then the song is playing. And it's honestly the worst Renner song we've heard to date. It's like a weird, fucked up, funk, weird thing.

I don't know what the fuck to call it. It sounds like music that was made for a movie soundtrack in the late 80s. Okay. It sounds like a movie in the 80s that was mid to low budget that was about a rock star. was like mid to low budget that was about a rock star. Or like the songs that like Zack and the Rippers and Saved by the Bell wrote. I would give it a little bit above Zack and the Rippers. Okay.

Wait, isn't that Jesse and the Rippers? Is it also Zack and the Rippers? Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Zack Attack was the dream band. And maybe this is an homage to that Saved by the Bell episode, because this is a dream sequence, we find out, because you hear somebody say, Jeremy, Jeremy, are you ready?

And it was the woman from his dream. Whoa. And then he starts driving around the desert with the woman from his dream. In real life. In real life. Yeah. So the- What is reality man the moral of the story is he dreamed of doing it and then he did that shit with jeep with jeep

and uh six months of apple music for free yeah i mean this is just a credit to the strength of his reps or his ability to network because i don't know how the fuck he is like hi jeep i'm gonna be the star of your ad campaign you're gonna pay for my music i don't know if they paid for it but my music will be featured front and center a majority of the footage you see has not much to do with the actual car right itself and i get my free career launch yeah being famous seems really fun yeah at that level yeah well. Well, this is also, he looks like a dude who doesn't realize how overconfident he is.

This is great, man. Everything's fucking turning up red. He is on another planet. His reality, I want to live inside his head for just a day and see how he views himself. It must be amazing. Also, I feel like he's so dull, probably. He mostly got like a banana republic in there or something you know like i

feel like sorry you must not be familiar with jeremy renner's house flipping career oh because he flips houses he's one of the great house flippers in uh the florida he's a complicated man okay he's a complicated man he's never been a fight, but yet he's choked a guy out for implying that he was gay. Oh, that's right. Yeah. And he used to be a makeup artist. Did he? Yeah.

Before he was an actor, he was a makeup artist. Wow. Okay, maybe we have to take everything we know. Oh, shit. We need to see a cat scan. I want to know what the fuck is going on in that mind. Oh, man.

It's like, I don't know, there's a light in that brain we've not seen on another human. There's a light in there that never goes out. Also,

the only other person I can think of that takes that much joy in listening to their own music is Barbra Streisand. Right. Have you ever heard that story she tells

where she was like, I was in a cab and I heard the most wonderful song and then I thought, oh my God, it's me. Fuck yeah. That's great. what a fucking weird flex yeah I mean

like half of it is are you kind of senile right you wouldn't know your own work we're like that's great hmm that's me well maybe she just lays down the vocals and is just like I'm out wow you know she just does it to a click she's like by the way, she calls the guy 10 years later and is like, love what you did with that. Yeah. When will I see a check? Anything else to say about Jeremy Renner? I know.

I mean, at least he hasn't started painting yet that we know of. Oh, Jesus Christ. That we know of. That's probably the next phase, right? Yeah. Right. Is it fine art next? Yeah. Because he's conquered. I of. That's probably the next phase, right? Yeah. Right. Is it fine art next? Yeah.

Because he's conquered- I mean, he's really the Da Vinci of our time, I think. Makeup artistry. Right. Acting. Yeah. Terrible EDM. Terrible funk.

Terrible, like, dub country step. Right. What the fuck else? I guess, yeah. So, music, film. I guess fine art. Sculpting? Or painting? What do you think? He's more hands-on? I guess, yeah, so music, film. I guess fine arts. Sculpting? Or painting?

What do you think? He's more hands-on? I could see sculpting. Somebody needs to give him a movie. Let him direct. Because he would make the strangest thing, I'm sure. I'm surprised he hasn't. Yeah.

Can you? Let's see. Does he got anything coming up? In the harbor? No. Untitled Jeremy Renner project? What else could you see him doing other than art? A biopic about Jeremy Renner.

Probably self-funded. I just really felt my story should be told. Right. Of just a guy who, I don't know, became really tight. And suddenly I was tight. The Jeremy Renner story let's talk about Bastille Day it was July 14th it was over last weekend and so this is the celebration that inspired America's 4th of July celebration this year when the military drove

some tanks onto the National Mall. Did they end up doing that? Yeah, there were some tanks. They were parked there, though. Right, right, right. They drove them up, parked them, and then put them behind fences, and then Trump's homies could come in close enough to see them. Touch them and selfie with them.

But only the inner circle. All the other MAGA people just had to sit in the rain. Yeah, right. Drive by these branded Trump ponchos. But I mean, like people who support him want him to be better than them. So I don't think they mind that like he treats them like shit. Right. Well, that gives you something to aspire to.

Right. That's the only way you can accept your lot in life. Right. So he, you know, he was trying to live up to the bastille day celebration that he saw and didn't i mean he didn't live up to a good fourth of july parade no standard not even like in your neighborhood yeah not even like huntington beach yeah where kids are being pulled on like radio flyer carts yeah like well he has a flag taped to his arm. Franz issued the most devastating, that was cute, nice try. I've seen, you know.

Parked tanks before. Yes. Not even rolling down the fucking street. Yeah. So there's just this one clip that shows a dude flying around in a rocketeer pack with a assault rifle. Yeah. Just, and then, so he flies across the sky, which I had seen before, but then he just comes to a stop and just hovers above Macron for like-

Like we salute you, Emperor Macron. For 15 seconds with a fucking machine gun in his hand. And is just like, sup? Yeah. And then fucking flies off. his hand. And it's just like, sup? Yeah. And then fucking flies off. Takes off. Like literal Iron Man shit. Yeah.

The video I've seen of this dude's setup before, but part of the official Bastille Day thing was kind of definitely a flex. Because you saw what was funny, like I felt bad for the people behind him who were just operating drones, like with a remote control. I'm like, yeah, okay, I get it. The new technology. Like just make way for fucking Iron Man. Yeah, exactly. behind him who were just operating drones like with a remote control and like yeah okay i get it the new technology like just make way for fucking iron man yeah exactly but yeah the way even macron was like looking back at him you could almost tell he was like yes directly into my veins

floating soldier i'm sure trump oh god that might also be what trump is trying to deal with right now with his overt racism. Yeah. When I watched this clip, too, I was just like, oh, the future is here and it's terrifying. Yeah. Oh, it's scary as fuck. Some soldier flying up to your window. It's like, you must go now.

And you're like, oh, fuck. Yeah. But hey, you know, military industrial complex, activate. Also, the idea like Bastille Day is like when they took over the industrial complex activate also the idea like Bastille Day is like when we you know when they took over

the aristocrats and the idea of doing something just so fuck you rich people right like it seems kind of counter to the OG Bastille Day

right yeah yeah oh boy well maybe the storming of the Bastille would have gone a lot quicker if they had jetpacks

so true and that's the lesson that is a Jeremy Renner movie oh shit Bastille Day yeah but steel lot quicker if they had jetpacks. So true. And that's the lesson. That is a Jeremy Renner movie. Oh, shit. Bastille Day? Yeah. With jetpacks? But steel is spelled S-T-E-E-L.

Bastille Day. Bastille Day. Yeah, a time traveler goes back to arm them. Yes. Oh, that's the secret of Bastille Day that you didn't know. The time traveler bought future technology back then, armed them, got it done real real quick took it away to not fuck up this whatever space time continues it's just it's all you know we're still kind of sick yeah renner and i are still working this out but it's going to be pretty pretty tight uh and finally i wanted to talk about there was this

twitter thread where somebody was like what was a TV show from your childhood that only you remember nobody around you remembers or so the original tweet was from at clone Nick what's a TV show that you remember from your childhood that no one you know remembers mine is Dolphin Cove or like one that you thought was might have been something that you imagined because it was so weird. For instance, mine is a show called Greatest American Hero, which was an adult dramedy about a superhero. It was on during the day. I watched it at home before I started preschool. It was one of my early memories.

It was a dude like a blonde afro and he was just a bad superhero. He like sucked at landing and would always like fall down and shit. When you said I was like, okay. And then you played the theme song and I'm like, well I know the fucking theme music. It's great. It's that

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. The one from the Seinfeld episode. Yeah, I know. I thought I was like, I know that from Seinfeld. Yeah. But, okay. Yeah.

So that was mine. What was the other one? The guy said the original was Dolphin what? Dolphin Cove. Damn. I remember Dolphin Cove. The ones I can only think that people don't remember around me was Avonlea on the Disney channel. I remember Avonlea. It was like a spinoff of anne of green gables yeah yeah yeah see a lot of people i don't know why i watched a lot of i'm like yeah with avonlea uh but that was like one thing i remember

all the time telling me like remember that show avonlea on the disney channel and people were like no but i know it's real also the other one where the animated show about the fish police yep right the snorks no i think it's called fish police, the other one where the animated show about the fish police. Yep. Right. The Snorks. No, I think it's called Fish Police or some shit on Cartoon Network. Oh, okay. What's the Snorks?

The Snorks, maybe Snorks is mine. Snorks is like, it's like Smurfs, but they live underwater. I remember Snorks. Yeah, they have like a little like,

Oh, yeah. Like a snorkel. Yeah. Yeah. And like the theme song is like, sing along with the Snorks. Yo, wow. The first episode aired on my fucking Like a snorkel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like the theme song was like, sing along with the snorks.

Yo. Wow. The first episode aired on my fucking literal birthday of birth. Really? Yep. Of Avonlea? No, snorks. Oh, okay. Great.

That's a good sign for you. Whoa. It's a Belgian show, huh? American Belgian show. That makes sense, actually. Uh-huh. I wonder how many cartoons, because I know they do this with like anime and stuff. I wonder how many cartoons they just repurposed in a bunch of different languages.

That's smart. I remember like Moomin. You know Moomin? They were like a thing that's huge in Japan and Asia. Moomin? Yeah. Moomin is actually like this cow. They look weird.

Is it a cow superhero? It's like a Swedish or Finnish illustrator, I think, made it. Oh, not Moomin. As a kid, I always used to see it in Japan. I never saw it in the U.S. And then when I, like, I went to school with a Finnish girl. And for her, like, a show and tell thing, she's like, I want to talk about my favorite show, Moomin. I was like, that's Japanese.

And she's like, no, it's not. And I'm like, I've never seen it here. And it's like, it's from Finland, where I'm from. And I was like, it fucked me up. Like, when I first, I'm like, media can just be spread anywhere in life. Oh God. But yeah, shout out to Moomins. So do you have one test that you're-

I do remember there was a show called Swan's Crossing. Do you guys remember that? Swan's Crossing. Swan's Crossing was also on during the day and it was like a soap opera, but it starred all children. Whoa. And I think they were rich, and it was like 90210, but with nine-year-olds.

Holy shit. Yeah. First episode date, September 25th, 1992. Final episode date, September 25th, 1992. Was there only one episode? Yeah, there's only one episode. What's it, 60? The number of episodes is 65.

So maybe they ended up airing them all later, but that's the length of the run. Wow. What if I'm the only one that saw the pilot and the finale? And the all-in-one. Whoa, Sarah Michelle Gellar was in that? That makes sense. Wow, she was the lead.

I think I liked it because she was also on General Hospital, which my mom watched. And it was like, oh, here's a soap for me. Right. Same girl. She was like the child in General Hospital? Yeah. Oh, wow.

She was Erica Kane's daughter. Mira Sorvino was also on it for six episodes. Oh. Powerhouse show. Man, I'm still just trying to get over the fact that I never thought about the fact that Snorks was short for snorkels. Neither did I. Even though they had a snorkel

coming out of the top of their heads. Like a snorkel almost. Well, yeah, a lot of the shit that was on when we were kids seems like some dream logic shit. Like even the Care Bears is fucking really weird. Didn't they stun people with their stomachs? Care Bears stare. They had like basically like spotlights in their chest

that they could use to brainwash people. Hey, come on, that's not important, man. They were spreading love and happiness and peace through their forced energy field. Well, anyways, Tess, it's been a pleasure having you it's been a pleasure being here thanks for having me uh where can people find you and follow you uh you can find me you can listen to my podcast lady to lady yeah yeah uh and i'm on all the socials testify t-e-s-s-t-i-f-y barker nice and is there a tweet you've been enjoying?

Oh, okay. And women, but women love to, you know, dilly-dally about. You know, maybe indecisive. But that just shows a basic misunderstanding of shopping, because shopping is all about impulsive decisions. Sure. Yeah, or even buying is part of shopping. Yeah.

So they're not like mutually exclusive. Yeah. At some point, you will buy. Yeah. I'm not saying it was a great saying. No, but it is like one of those things. I was just testing it out on you guys. What's that email you're writing?
