And then early yesterday, the truth comes out. Another press release comes out. McLaren dropping Danny

Rick. Oscar Piastri coming in for the 2023 season. Yo. Is that why Zach Brown was trending yesterday? Yes, sir. CEO of McLaren. It's,

I mean, like, this is, this is, this is, I'm ready to see how messy this gets on drive to survive because, you know, they're going to be all sensitive and salty about it.

Them being Daniel Ricardo, who just has jumped from team to team in search of his former glory at Red Bull and has just not founded because he's not that hot. It's too busy taking pictures and calling everything up. You came in saying, man's not hot, huh? I mean, man's not hot. Man has never been hot. Nah, he's fine. He's good, but it's just like...

Man did get close. Man did get close, but more and more I'm realizing that any of these drivers in the right car could absolutely smash. And man's was in the Red Bull, doing his damn thing, driving a good car, and then gets put on any other team where maybe you're not getting the same engine power, maybe you're

not getting the same group of engineers, and all of a sudden, I'm stuck in P12. Wow. You know what, Daniel? We need to get you on that Formula One cockpit, bro. See how you do. I'd love it. Get me in there. Bending corners at 160 miles an hour. I'm in it. Spinning out and crashing into the barrier. I in no halo save me man that halo man brilliant technology that other crash uh

was joe joe i mean like yo shout out the halo that motherfucker came he woke up upright on miracle status you know crashing his sign on tc at 100 miles an hour you've seen 88 and 44 all day it all lines up it all lines up bro you know all right what else is trending jeanette mccurdy yes what's the wordy well the wordy on mccurdy is that she was offered 300k to not snitch on dan schneider the creator of i carly and several other nickelodeon shows uh you know a lot of allegations about the guy, and she said, no. I'm going to write about it in my memoir coming out on Tuesday

called I'm Glad My Mom Died. Quite the title from Jeanette McCurdy. Really excited to read more about that. She was a mainstay of iCarly, and people have been like, where's she at? where'd she go oh is that the one they were mad at Lacey

for being on the show yes exactly yes mad at Lacey for quote-unquote replacing her which is obviously ridiculous shout out Lacey Mosley that's also an absolute legend to be like we're being replaced like yeah exactly all sorts of stuff in it but yeah so I

think more than anything i'm really excited to read what her take is uh yes everyone knows jeanette and lacey an apology that's facts thank you becca um i'm i'm i'm excited to see what she has to say where where it goes obviously the details are going to be spicy especially because she turned down the paltry offer from nickelodeon of 300k to stay silent which is just that's ridiculous bad look also it's a horrible way to incriminate yourself even more literally it just it's it's not a good look on on any end and and i'm just i'm constantly shocked at the idea of continuing to protect these perverse people in power just because it's like we are it we are now at the stage where it's like

okay you have seen what happens when you decide to just stand by the absolute worst people and it is not a good look so why not decide to put your best foot forward right leave women right support them and do the right thing here instead of being like yeah well we offered you 300k to shut your mouth well what are you doing they're like i'm sorry what what dimension are you in where that's an actual thing someone of good conscience goes for um bad news bears yep well look uh patriarchy and rape culture are still very very powerful forces really shitty really really shitty okay next up hashtag biden boom is trending yeah because he is a new DLC in the latest Street Fighter update.

And you can play him as Guile. But he moves hella slow, bro. He moves so fucking slow. It's not even worth using. But if you can get that Sonic boom or that fan kick going, or what's the technical term for that blade kick that he does?

Oh, man. I can't remember. Damn. See, that's how old I am. Shit. Yeah. Sorry, Capcom. I'm capping. But here's really what's going on.

Biden boom. It's just some, again, Democrats or like Big D, blue, no matter who type people are just like, there's this whole thing, right? Where everyone's like, what's a recession? are just like there's this whole thing right where everyone's like what's a recession where some people like it's two quarters of you know economic contraction and that had happened in the u.s we're like i think this is on our way to a depression or i'm sorry a recession yet job numbers look strong or they're increasing although wages are still low so that's you know take all of those numbers with a grain of salt but people are like pointing to this and like there is no reception reception reception recession it's a

hashtag biden boom it created 528 000 jobs unemployment drops to three and a half percent which is great but i hope people but the other thing is are they living wages nope what are what's the what's the cost of food right now what's the good question of gas what's the cost of food right now? What's the cost of gas? What's the cost of gas? Exactly. So unless people's lived experiences are better, I'm not looking at this to be like, oh, okay, good. Things are going in the right direction. I'd rather see less

hungry people, people who need help in general. And I would love to see our teachers supported, which reminds me if you're a teacher and you got a wish list, please tweet your wish list at me or whatever you use to aggregate some support. Thank you so much to everybody that has been

tweeting me. I will get to you eventually. I don't want to crowd the timeline and keep giving everybody space to interact with each list. I'm trying to help out. I hope, Zeitgang, if you have anything to offer, shit, you might even have something that's not on the list and be like, hey, I can't really send money, but if you give me address, I can send you this thing. Maybe you can help out.

But please check that out because it's been really nice to see all the listeners support other listeners, especially teachers. I can't keep saying this enough. It's so fucking hard to be a teacher right now as the school year comes back. The least we can do is show some support to them because it is not fucking easy out here and in fact they are more brave than the police so what's up with that um all right yeah let's take a quick break and we will be right back i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed.

Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews

with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI

in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. or wherever you get your podcasts. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered.

There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. CPAC is trending because fascist Coachella. See, I used to be racist Coachella. We're fully into fascism baby and autocratic coachella is in dallas texas uh where hungarian autocrat victor orban was out here giving a speech that all of these american people were loving talking his past hits include stuff like hungary will never be a mixed race country uh and all kinds of really fucking nasty shit essentially you know he's here to usually he was there to rile up the

crowd basically calling them to arms and saying like there's a battle that has to be fight and it can't be fought with liberal means and just kind of like winking like maybe violence i don't know wink wink wink wink wink um it's pretty fucking scary so watch this melding together of american hatred and european hatred and they're just being like yeah maybe we'll create like an axis of fucking influence here and it seems to be playing out right now it's very scary and what i'm about to say doesn't make it any less scary but what is at least i don't know slightly heartening heartening relieving at least a little bit is when you see the full views of these of these conference rooms they are at most a third full they are just they have seats to the front

to the back with nobody in them because yes there are people and there are you know i mean any any number above 10 is too many people for this for this kind to support this kind of thing but at least but nine you're like no i like it yeah that's fine that's fine we can take nine but like the numbers are at least dwindling and this this this more concentrated more radicalized crew is definitely getting more and more radicalized and and and more you know fervent in their desires but they're also getting smaller yeah and this is the time we need to crack down when their numbers are They're cooking down the stew of American hatred. And they're really reducing it to like the grossest muck part. So the volume may be less in the pot.

Yeah. But it's definitely more concentrated hatred. That's a reduction right there. But I mean, that's the thing. I mean, even if the numbers are low there, like these are all the people that end up going back to their respective communities and preaching the same shit. And they'll do their own little mini versions of this to their friends and anyway so hope you worked out because a fascist did today uh okay what else cinema not the not the arts but kirsten cinema the senate or from arizona basically said like some kind of leftist critical support for the biden economic package

so it looks like we might get over that hump and get a little bit of little little light taste of uh climate spending uh as well as some great stuff for health care still falls a little bit short of what we'd like but hey it's uh look we'll take it where we can get it right now but keep building on that uh but yeah she said yeah i guess i could so uh i look the democrats will take that they will they can get one step closer to half checking off a third of a box they were talking about during the campaign in 2020. But at least it's good news because I was counting on her to be like, sorry! Finally, Johnny Depp is trending.

More so just because I don't know if you remember, when his case was determined and he was determined to be victorious over Amber Heard, even though it was a massive psyop online of outrage and weird YouTube videos and shit, a lot of celebrities were liking a victory post that he put down and everyone was like a massive psyop online of like outrage and weird youtube videos and shit a lot of celebrities were like liking like a victory post that he put down and everyone's like

yo this is a bad look for you are y'all really like really seeing like the dimensions of what this trial is and like are you just very narrowly being like she pooped on a bed or something i don't know wow um like and really taking how serious it is like just watching this like misogynist like pendulum kind of swing like with the force of gamer gate um but way more youtube videos about it i don't know that's what most of us saw or no maybe not enough but a lot of celebrities were liking this post right after he won his trial and it was just like so many i remember us all time be like yo that's such a bad look. But then a lot of celebrities, some people noticed, started unliking that post.

And that was because of these like this document dump that came out that revealed that like his Johnny Depp's whole legal team was like they had an original like a plan to use like nude photos of Amber Heard against her and like trying to hide notes that were like saying stuff like the couple's therapist confirmed Heard was a quote victim of intimate partner violence or like other things that were you know texts to his assistant that confirmed Amber Heard's allegations that he'd kicked and beat her in front of his staff etc so it's uh it's interesting just to see the like opportunism of celebrity culture suddenly be like oh now there's this other information oh he was trying to help marilyn manson oh okay maybe those texts were just yeah really fuck that but anyway that's it's the lack of critical thinking from many many celebrities uh but whatever that's just how we look at the world. It's a freaky place,

y'all. It is a freaky place indeed. Try and think a little more critically. Think of what's getting the most retweets or likes on something, because that's not always a good barometer, although I feel like a lot of people do use that. And consider this the playbook for when stories like this come up again, whether it's for actors and actresses

or people like Elon Musk or for any person who's going to be caught up in their own shitty behavior being played as the good or bad person in a story. Just keep your eyes peeled and think, like Miles said, a little more critically. Yeah. All right.

Well, that's going to do it for us today to tell you what's trending. Guys, it's Friday. Go have a good weekend, okay? Hell yeah. Please take care of yourself. Get the vaccine. Wear a mask.

Yes. In a crowded place. Because guess what. Hell yeah. Please take care of yourself. Get the vaccine, wear a mask. Yes. In a crowded place because guess what? It's still out there. Also, and just don't do nothing in the face of white supremacy or misogyny

or transphobia, homophobia, any of that shit. Be a good person and let other people know that good people are out there. True that. Until then,

enjoy your weekend and we'll see you Monday. All right, later. Bye. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.
