They don't make sense what they're connected to, but they're just on there. Just a little mini chain.

he could do lyrically for like i'm gonna be bad and your butt is mine it's like look i still got it this still has to get on the radio you know it was like his rebrand from like thriller it was his first album since thriller yeah came through and he was like this is gonna be like i'm gonna channel like gangster rap yeah and uh yeah because the original lyrics was i'm gonna slash your face with a razor blade and they were like oh michael that might not get on billboard i don't think that one quite works with your whole vibe yeah yeah um but my kids are obsessed with that song uh my seven-year-old is obsessed with that song at the same time that i was in my life because that's how old i was when that album came out and i i was like man this is all cycles uh this is the most badass thing i think i've ever

heard uh this guy is raping in the subway this guy is freaking tough look how the guy in the roller skates lifts himself up from the collar going like this oh yeah that was so dope um that video wow um but uh all right before we get into the news we do like to get to know each other a little bit better let's get to know um by telling people some things we think is overrated on your rate here you want to kick us off with something yeah let's go over do we do over first yeah we do over first right um over

spicy margaritas just gonna see margs look they're fucking everywhere now every fucking where and it's reached critical mass where I'm just saying I'm sorry I can't do this anymore i was in atlanta and miami recently and i dude i'm not joking i saw at least two restaurants

that were explicitly advertising on the outside shit that was like we have spicy margaritas like as if it's like we have tamagotchis like we have mini babies and i'm like that's fine i mean if you like a spicy margarita fine but i love spicy food i remember in the beginning when spicy margaritas were a thing i was like my go-to but then i'm just kind of like yeah all right the the love has faded for the drink and i'm just i think i'm just wanting to point out it's this is the new moscow mule you know right right moscow mules were everybody was fucking losing their shit over it's like dude it comes in a cup dude you got to give your id because i guess people steal the cups yeah

that was me and you know let's just is that real they would take your id oh my god a lot of places if you ordered a moscow mule and they gave it to you in that copper mug they would ask you for your id as like a deposit because yeah people were just pocketing them because they were fun little copper things and i remember for a while like 10 years ago that was like the gift you would give people who were like into cocktail where it's like oh these are great moscow mule mugs great copper mugs here's a single moscow mule mug yeah for drinking moscow mules at home by yourself yeah i liked him so much a friend of mine uh he did give me a it was kind of funny it was um it was a copper cup shaped as a solo cup because i

was really in my moscow mule phase and he's like here's like the let's just complete the circle with this one yeah the regular uh copper cups don't don't really work with your vibe you're more of a solo guy yeah more, more of a solo guy. Too damn American. Yeah, my mom drinks out of a copper cup, though, like every morning. Really? She has like a weird,

it's like a thing I think people do. She has like, I'm sure some vibey person who listens will be like, yeah, man, copper cup water. I think it's probably pseudoscience, but she loves it. Yeah.

It helps with the pH. the ph balances your water which is important you know you gotta make it make sure you're not drinking too much alkaline uh yeah no that's pseudoscience alkaline alkalize your life uh my overrated is the crow deterrent industry um there is a murder of crows i'm feuding with in my backyard i've mentioned this particular murder of crows before they have uh fucked up our yard before um but we we recently put in like drought tolerant grasses to replace the regular grass right in our backyard and um they've just taken to uprooting the plants. Oh, really? Yeah, it's just like a gang of middle school kids

who snuck out during a sleepover. They're just pulling them up, leaving them there. Let's go to old man O'Brien's and pull out the grass. He fucking hates it. We'll probably see him in his weird underwear when he comes out. Wait, they're just pulling up the grasslings? Yeah, the little grasslings

like the little shoots they put how do they yeah how do they put that in like hair plugs basically yeah exactly it looks like it yeah it looks like we've got hair plugs in our backyard and they've just like come through and they'll just like pull out a whole strip before i can like run out there right i'm just i'm just sitting here like by the window just being like yeah don't even fucking try it yeah i hear you because they're they're constantly calling back and forth yeah you know but um so this sent me down a rabbit hole of the whole at war with crows industry um we've done like the spinning shiny windmill thingies uh those are back up we've also got a fake owl a spinning shiny windmill thing

yeah yeah you know the things that you like uh blow on and babies really like a kid's party yeah yeah so that you had there are like bigger ones of those that are shiny and uh allegedly they're supposed to keep the crows away they haven't quite worked out for us just yet do they like they don't like shine is that the deal i think it's just the movement makes them suspicious oh okay okay i mean like there's they're supposedly very smart but then the one piece of technology that we know of that is supposed to actually work on them is just a scarecrow right which seems seems like i don't know maybe it's wishful thinking because yeah they seem pretty smart but so one of the one of the things

that is available it's actually like the top thing when you search for crow deterrent is a fake dead crow that you put in your backyard upside down what you like hang from a tree upside down like some sort of fucking witch's curse no yeah it's like the the pictures all have it hanging or like sticking out of the ground specifically upside down which is like maybe signals it's like this motherfucker dead yeah but it's also like just some wild pagan feeling shit that i feel like is going to affect the karma of my like great grandchildren like i know look i'm not proud of this i used to fuck around with crows as a kid like throw rocks at them and shit because i i remember when i was a kid like hang out with them yeah i used to fuck

with crows bro you know i mean and then then i found christ part of a murder yeah so yeah we call murder inc back then and i remember like i had this like i was angry at them because at the time my pet dog was like dying and like right you know like when when pets are like at that stage like sometimes they just want to go in like a dark place and just like lay down somewhere and i remember like as that was happening i didn't know what was going on but like these crows were fucking with my dog when who was like in in its last you know she was on her last legs and i was so angry so then i took i remember taking my anger out on the crows after she passed away when they'd be in my yard like throw shit at them

and they fucking bro they remember like they will buck back with you in the same way and i told the story before my aunt in japan she used to take care of these crows that would hang out on her balcony and one time she had a like a small grease fire like shot up in her kitchen when she was in the bathroom they warned her they like flew into her apartment and were like get the fuck they were like she was like what came in the kitchen had to put luckily put it out it wasn't like anything serious but the crows legitimately looked out for her and like then i was like bro you want these crows on your side i don't know if like that's the best way like is there a way to have like a sit down with them and like yeah i know we just need to have a meeting of the families because it's yeah or like i need to offer them like that it really feels like you know the shiny spinny things the

fake owl the scarecrow is like at a level of technology that they scoff at. Yeah. And they only speak the language of like curses and yeah, I don't like magic. There's like a true magic to crows. Yeah. I don't want to go. Yeah.

You don't want to go down that road. No, I do not. Like, I'm like, take the grass. If that's, I know.

Please, please give us better options than hanging a dead crow in effigy in his backyard. Right. I can't do that. We will not be doing that. Is there like, yeah, I feel like some zany inventors, like, I have an AI tracking system that will spray water at them to deter them. That's what I have in mind.

that will spray water at them like right that's what i have in mind but it and there's also like one that supposedly works that's like a a tracker that like when they land a balloon inflates and that's supposed to freak them out um but yeah the the imagery the symbolism of an upside down crow just feels like too dark yeah just don't i don't like hanging black bodies from a tree just yeah yeah like i don't know i don't yeah like i wouldn't like instantly i'm like that's not gonna work that's not gonna work yeah because you don't need the crow nina simone coming out here and singing about it yeah it's it's everybody loses in that scenario so please what is the way i know somebody there's got to be some like there has to be a simpler way that's not so fucking creepy

that will work with crows like no the only way is to like lynch it off your tree yeah exactly no no what is uh what's something you think is underrated underrated shooting film camera camera film um so i was i was at a birthday this weekend i saw demi did you ebay there and he was carrying a film camera taking little snaps here and there and he was carrying a film camera taking little snaps here and there and you know as a son of a photographer i'm always interested in talking to people about like their own photography and and this is nothing new i feel like a lot of hip people they're shooting film now whether it's like using like really cool full frame like film cameras or just like busting out that old pentax that your fucking grandma gave you for

a field trip like that kind of stuff is like definitely coming back because that aesthetic is you know very in um but like i was talking to him about like you know like what you know like what what's going on and he was just talking about how much he enjoys the process of shooting film and developing his own film he turned his bathroom into a dark room so like he can like develop like the film with the chemicals and shit and just really like you know do it all from from top to bottom and i was like yeah that's like you know we just take for granted how easy it is to take pictures yeah but like we've also we're like also hostile towards the time it takes to develop film even if you have to use an instinct here i'm like i don't want to take it to fucking right aid and then get it i can just shoot this or whatever but like it's a winner

in so many ways two main ways first you get tangible pictures that you can hold on to her majesty has been a very big proponent of us like we take so many pictures on our phones but like actually getting them printed and like making albums and like like hanging them on our wall like in the olden days when we were kids um and also just like you exercise a bit of patience and thought when you're taking it because on an iphone your camera phone whatever you take a picture you can immediately look at what you took and you're like no i don't like this like let's redo this and with like taking like shooting on film you have to really like commit to the frame and like you're like that's what it is i'll see what i get and you know it is what it is and sometimes it might not be perfect but it might be more authentic so i don't know just like a subtle

way i was just thinking of like yeah that's a that's a that's a nice practice to have it might not even be for the photography but just to like do something that just that we sort of have sped up to the point that it's instant um i feel like read like taking back those kinds of processes is probably a good meditative practice just just to have patience and to be present so yeah shoot a film it's good it's good for people who don't have their eyes closed in like 90 of the pictures but yeah the the photo burst was a real game changer to me because uh otherwise are you an eyes closer i'm an eyes closer oh man mariano rivera over here that's right bringing the eyes closer um my uh underrated the word fontanelle

uh that just came came up conversationally uh the word for the soft spot on the top of a baby's head where you can see their heartbeat for like two to three months yep um which it's like one of the most horrifying things to contemplate yeah that there There's just this soft, unprotected spot on the top of the head. There's just like an eyelid over the entire brain. It's just like, yo, that is not enough protection. Every time I see it on a baby, I have like, like if you ever like stood on the edge of like a building or something and you're just like, I could, I could just jump off.

What was that? The call of the void. Yeah. The call of the void. The French have a word for that. Yeah. So you get the call of the void looking at a soft spot. At a little soft spot.

You're just like, I mean, like I just get weird like images that I don't, I don't want to see. Yeah. Like you're opening a navel orange. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Oh God damn it. I'm sorry. yeah images that i don't i don't want to see yeah like you're opening a navel orange exactly yeah but oh god damn it i'm sorry the call of the void i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm i also i do have a young baby who's i would look at the because i remember you talking about even before i had a kid and i was always like oh god like it just not that i have the desire, but I'm like, it's so vulnerable. Like why,

why, why, why? I think it, so my, my theory, like it's a philosophically important feature, like design bug, because it requires us to be that much more loving to infants.

Like that, that's how our species survived. Having babies that are that vulnerable right like adds the necessity of like more and more love to the human species to like have made it through all that time of yeah god i love this thing so much and it has just a fucking yeah navel orange over the top of its brain yeah it has like going to yeah it has like a death star weak spot like where you're like the biggest death star week like don't everyone's like why would the death star have that it's like guys we we are all of us have the death star we all have this

death star exhaust pipe yeah it's much more open um but yeah the whoever decided to name it fontanelle i know it's just like it's the name of a doo-wop group or like a cream colored sedan from the 1950s you know like it's just oh that like fuck cellar door or whatever is that what drew barrymore said the most beautiful word in the english language was cellar door in donnie darko i feel like i haven't seen you know what the most beautiful word is anyways i haven't seen the canon of like beautiful i haven't seen the canon of like white people college movies like i haven't seen boondock saints or or donnie darko oh man boondock saints my favorite movie bro i know you boondocked i remember and i was like i'm watching belly right right leave me alone i have my shit boondock dude you know what's what i'm just searching fontanella on google the second most asked question is what happens if you press on

fontanelle oh no guys y'all don't don't although it is it says they have thick and durable membranes just under your baby scalp that protects her brain so gently touching the fontanelles won't hurt her don't tell people that right it's actually pretty cool you can you can't fuck it up yeah no no no we're off that fontanelle though it does sound like a dessert also doesn't it sound yeah there's like like a cream colored something it's yes it's a really nice word yeah i can't believe there's like a cream-colored something. It's a really nice word. Yeah. I can't believe there's not a band called the Fontanelles. Probably because it would be weird.

It's truly like a mashup of French and Latin. It's not like, I wish there was some guy named Dr. Fontanelle. Who was just like, yeah. And don't, hey guys, don't press on that. Right. Just the coolest doctor of all time. He's just roller skates around from baby delivery. He's got down the side of his leg on his pants.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Caitlin 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?

Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast the black effect podcast network is sponsored by diet coke

and we're back we're back and c-pack happened this past weekend um it just feels yeah like a good way to track like in the same way that you know you see you take pictures of a kid every birthday and you're like oh wow look how much they've grown yeah um you check in with the conservatives every year it's like fashion you're like but wow it's fash fashion week fash fashion week you're like oh here's what they got this is what they got cooking up this these are the trends they're hopping on this year yeah we used to call it clanchella i think we've had a few different names for this but yeah it happened and it's yeah so some weird trends the first thing that was like i think this was like the kickoff speech the keynote yeah i think it's one of the first clips I saw from it.

Yeah. Jack Posobiak, uh, came out and said, welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn't get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.

All glory is not to government. All glory is to God, which like at first it was like, it sounded like he was joking you know right but uh no it seems like that he's just like they're straight up embracing like overthrow democracy install authoritarian dictatorship yeah that is like the official position of the conservative movement yeah it's not like it's it this point it's just so fucking out in the open that's what's like so horrifying

it's just like this is the stated aim of this party now it's like just to go fully scorched earth not even trying to pretend like it would be anything else there is like January 6th just seems to be a big

theme there in in years past they had an actor in a red orange jumpsuit like in a jail cell and it was like this is a jr. missus yes sure or mints art I also used to be a hairdresser yeah I think that guy had like he had a real zany career of I think he's like one of the if i remember when you're talking about it that guy was like one of the first to be like why i'm leaving the democratic party for the republicans sort of guy so he's he's out there some cool cool stuff that people are contributing to the conversation this year we got a uh educational january 6th pinball machine that can you just say that,

that sequence of words one more time, an educational January 6th pinball machine from Jonathan Linos, uh, who said, uh, that a lot of people thought it was a joke at first. Um, but he said it was an,

a serious expression of his beliefs about january 6th i decided to make a game that actually expresses what really happened on january 6th it's very suspicious and there was not any kind of serious investigation of what went on yes yes that's why i'm using the very serious medium of pinball machine to spread my message yeah really this is our water gate is this pinball machine oh god that's what's so fucking that's what's so fucked up about these things it's like you get people out there full-throated being like we're gonna we're gonna round up all the journalists all the fucking non-cis head christians all of our haters and then you also have like i'm pinball guy who thinks

january 6th was an inside job and pinball grand wizard yeah oh boy yeah like it's just wild how that's you get the entire spectrum so like it just sort of breaks your mind in a way where you're like it's serious it's serious but a joke but yeah it's also just no they're they're serious although there were a lot of people um who were like reporting that like attendance was a lot like less than usual right despite all this so that was one maybe nice thing but either way the the stated goals and the people that were there just are like no no no yeah so some of the same white supremacist groups that have been ejected in previous years were

just like hanging out openly discussing race science, uh, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and casually using the N word. Um, yeah. In previous years. Uh, and it was like a lot of like Nick Fuentes shit. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

Again, this is just like the slow normalization of nazism that's how the original nazis came about like we people when they picture world war ii era nazis they're like oh they're just like they swept to power and like everybody came together and like immediately was supportive of them no everybody was like freaked out by them for a good decade and then they like slowly just became normalized and wore people down and then like that's an option i guess like it went from front page news that they were nazis who believed wild shit but then by the time they swept to power people like they were just like you know deeper into the yeah yeah they're like oh yeah well we know about them they look pretty clean cut yeah let's give them a shot so that's i don't know

it just feels like seeing this slow yeah slowly be adopted by well yeah it's like weird because on one hand right like we've we've talked we've you know over the last year the many years we've been doing the show like talking about the republicans like it's just like they're they're they're cooking down the sauce to thicker and thicker goo and it's becoming more and more extreme and concentrated and yeah like while there may be less people in attendance the extreme nature of the views that are being presented are also starting to rise so it's like this yeah yeah yeah they're um they're bad i'm just gonna go on the record and say that yeah hopefully other people can see that too but yeah like right now it's like all the coverage of this is like being like did you hear what trump said though right Did you hear he called his wife Milan or Mercedes?

It's like, did he? No, he didn't. Actually, like that's like that was the big takeaway from Trump's weekend was that he called Melania Mercedes, but he was clearly talking about his former staffer, Mercedes Schlapp. so but like the fact that people focus on that instead of like all the other crazy shit that he said like calling himself a proud political dissident or comparing himself to al capone also the afro-americans they love me because they love my mugshot they see i'm like them oppressed jesus but i will do nothing to help he was saying shit like that my god it's uh yeah yeah uh but i mean again it's all about the fucking old horse race with the media it's like okay how many how many old guy gaffes did trump do this weekend okay how many to bite into what's the score right now tale of the tape who had most old guy gaffes yeah uh cpac also hosted two south american authoritarians yeah like argentinian president javier mille

um he's just a straight-up authoritarian like they and and then salvador and president also like was fucking both there they're just straight-up authoritarians now yeah mille and trump shared a close hug backstage oh okay well yeah i mean yeah you have mele who likes to dress up as like a anarcho-capitalist superhero and then you have you know uh what's his face uh naib bukele from el salvador who's just all in on crypto right so yeah gathering of the minds gathering Gathering of the minds. Yeah, yeah. We do have an update on the AT&T outage last week.

Solar flare. Solar flare. Caring in the wind. It was, yeah. It was obviously a cyber attack. I don't know. We all saw Leave the World Behind. It's a cyber attack by our enemies.

Who snakebusts. They're coordinating to try and sow discord. Oh, wait. It was just the result of a software update gone wrong. You almost want them to say that. You know how people be like,

I was hacked on Twitter. It's like, no, bro. You're a sloppy racist. You just said you were hacked. Rather than be like, it was a cyber attack rather be like we don't we're fucking kind of dumb or whatever happened yeah i'd imagine that isn't like for how rare this kind of thing is i'd imagine that's not the norm or i feel like you'll be like hey give them a break it's really hard to do a software update on an entire mobile network which it could be but i'm sure it is i mean i have t-mobile so

you know couldn't be me couldn't be you couldn't be me but it's okay they're gonna make it right they've offered all customers who couldn't use their phones uh five dollars credited to their account so okay we're good here um yeah shit dude five dollars i mean five dollars i was breaking it down not being able to call 9-1-1 yeah in an emergency or yeah exactly it's like what anyway i was looking at um what their plans cost like i think they're like an introductory rate for a single lines like 86 bucks so they gave them about two days like two days worth of service off with that five bucks now is that enough to heal the wounds of your cell phone saying sos like a fucking rihanna track i don't know i don't know but i feel like you're good here i mean i i accept opening offers you

know yeah i'm just like yeah five dollars that's oh my god that's more than generous i mean yeah and i think most people it's like you it's i get it it's a pain in the ass to switch networks and you have your to do your phone but it's it's pretty easy i guess if you want it to to switch do it when you think about it on the scale of pennies that's 500 pennies it's like no joke you know okay yeah hold on hold on yeah that's what it's 20 quarters yeah 20 quarters so not too shabby all right yeah you know what you know what i'm signing up with at&t actually thank you oh wait i don't get it oh oh i had to be a customer okay right um all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the fried chicken pizza and other things.

We'll be right back. Hey, I'm Gianna Pradente. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts.

if this is my first real job? Girl, yes. Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do, like resume specialist Morgan Saner.

The only difference between the person who doesn't get the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies. Yeah, I think a lot about that quote. What is it, like you miss 100% of the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary, but it's better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes

to thrive in the early years of your career without sacrificing your sanity or sleep. Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Jess Casavetto, 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. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. I'm Carrie 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 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.

We're back. and we're back we're back and kfc has released uh the fried chicken pizza to the united states um it's literally just a pizza made on top of pieces of fried chicken uh doesn't look great no like it it looks like you're it's a it's basically like a chicken parm yeah that's exactly what it looks like pepperonis on it it's like you got marin it's a, it's basically like a chicken parm. Yeah, that's exactly what it looks like. With pepperonis on it. It's like you got marinara, you got melted cheese on top of a breaded chicken cutlet.

That is not a cheatsa. Yeah, that's just chicken parm, but you're asking us to eat it with our hands. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm okay. I'm okay. We don't need to do this. We don't.

It's available in some US locations starting today Monday but only for a limited time and we don't have clarification on whether that means that the offers for a limited time or whoever eats it will only have a limited time on earth I hope it's the latter

we told you what did you think we said? It's like the videotape in the ring, man. Don't fuck with it, or else you're like, seven days. What? I just had a little bit of a nibble off my chitsa. Yeah.

One 2017 review. They've released this in other countries. It seems like mostly Asia. Yeah. Which KFC is pretty popular in Japan, isn't it? Oh, yeah. In Korea? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

One 2017 review out of Shanghai found that the Chita didn't quite live up to their expectations. They said that it tastes like... So each bite of the Chita showed me regret does indeed have a taste that's poetic that is poetic wow and regret indeed does have a taste and it's a sad sad it looks like at least in these photos from asia that looks like a flattened out chicken thigh which that's look we're gonna be real i would that's what you need to be the breast too dry everyone way too dry leave it alone leave it alone embrace the dark meat you probably won't be prepared this is also from the review you probably won't be prepared for the smell that

wafts your way a combination of old oil and faint spice but how was it to eat and then they dropped that uh regret line on our wow the smell that wafts your way that's like truly this person should just be writing novels oh yeah yeah yeah just but about but just like fucking slamming fast food like just absolutely like you know just in a like a like poetic evisceration, um, of our fast food. Okay. I have to look out for more reviews from this person. Over the weekend, an Air Force pilot, Aaron Bushnell, a 25 year old active duty U.S. airman, uh, set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington as an act of

protest. Uh, he streamed the whole thing on Twitch telling viewers that he will no longer be complicit in genocide. Um, and he later died in the hospital. Uh, but his final words were free Palestine. Yeah.

And he said outside the embassy quote, I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine. At the hands of their colonizers. It's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Woo.

No lies detected there. No lies detected. And you. Man the self-immolation is so wild. Like this used to be like. Fucking. Like ground. Like when people did this kind of shit. would reverberate you know what i mean and now you look at like all the headlines the way they have just zoomed all the way out like to describe this it's truly like man engages in

fire play in washington dc is like right it's so well new york times a man set himself on fire outside the israeli embassy in washington uh reuters u.s airmen sets himself on fire outside the israeli embassy in washington cnn u.s airmen sets himself on fire outside the israeli embassy in washington like it's like identical uh the other one active duty airman sets himself outside on fire outside dc's israeli embassy okay you just kind of switch things around there washington post but like there's only like a few networks that actually mention what the motivation was like you you like the only reason that's what's so disheartening about all this shit is like they've completely taken out any context of this this also happened in december in georgia outside of the israeli embassy another

person yeah this woman self-immolated and the and like right now there's really not much you can find in terms of who that person was or their condition or what happened after that it's like they just don't want to have people they just want to like sanitize their front pages to not have any sort of like uncomfortable truths or actually get it or inform people about how extreme the the acts of the israeli government are and how the us is co-signing and like fun basically bankrolling it through arms uh supply and it's just you know like you look at the self-immolation of that guy Muhammad was easy He was the Tunisian man who also like when he self-immolated that kicked off the Arab Arab Spring Yeah, that was like the media at the time

They were clear on what he was doing and why he was doing it But that's because again because from the perspective of Imperial Western media duck being very critical of governments in the middle east is accepted discourse criticism of israel clearly is not because they just will have you believe this dude was you know like a busker or something and it was an accident like a show gone wrong like based on these headlines um yeah it's really it's it's really grim and i think to to not do that i think also just indicates you know like truly like as even he said that this is we're going to look at what is happening in gaza and what is happening to palestinian people as normal

to somehow avert your eyes or to not feel a sense of deep sadness or connect to the humanity when you see people grieving their loved ones who haven't had nothing to do with the october 7th attacks but we're starting where but we just have to say yeah but that's war or whatever tired talking point is used to sort of justify it yeah the the new york times did this morning have uh an updated headline that mentioned the word gaza but then it's no longer on the front page so they were like okay get a get a screen cap real quick of this um all right we're good we're good here right there was also so it's it's award season hollywood continues to bludgeon america with lavish awards shows until we finally get the oscars over with but at the SAG Awards on Saturday

the cast of Oppenheimer won the big prize which was pretty predictable but then Robert Downey Jr. won and he thanked Mel Gibson he just started rattling off a bunch of names of people he learned so much

from over the years and one of them was fucking Mel Gibson but then on saturday came the film independent spirit awards and this connects back to the previous story because um that event is held in a tent and so protesters you know came and had chance of free palestine playing over a bullhorn, um, that were audible throughout the broadcast. And so there was just this very strange dystopian vibe inside the tent where

like all these rich, famous people and fancy clothes are like dressed up and trying to do their bits and outside, you you know but which is entirely appropriate it's entirely appropriate for this moment in history to feel dystopian right yeah yeah well especially when people are you know like in the previous story committing such like like it's like the most extreme form of protest you can commit like that's pure desperation this is jim gaffigan just trying to get through the awards while again protesters outside calling for a ceasefire

yeah so i mean like that that sort of garbled noise you hear are the people on the bullhorns of protesters right just right outside um yeah asking for a ceasefire demanding a ceasefire but james marzen is taking a huge shit or whatever james marzen took a whole shit man um there's also like a comedian referenced the hecklers outside during the show yeah yeah yeah the guy who really didn't like the holdovers or something yeah guys just don't listen to the haters just stay on your grind set and you'll be driving lambo soon all right anyway what are they even saying out there you know i mean just block it out just block it out what i don't even know like let's just let's focus on this award show i think that's what even the director of

freemant uh babak jalali said during his speech he said quote there are people speaking outside and whatever they're saying i think it's far more important than what i'm about to say i'm so inspired by what they're saying outside i can't think of what i'm about to say yeah and yeah we're just man it's just so wild when like this juxtaposition of different realities is just like slammed together like this too where it's like you have a group of people who've been like let's like just have our award show and you know just clap along um but at the same time you have people who are really trying to bring awareness to what is happening and it's just like, let's just,

let's call that heckling. It's heckling. Jesus Christ. Yeah. It's dark. It's dark. Um, all right.

Well, those are some of the things that are trending on this Monday, February 26th. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show until then be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy and we will talk to y'all tomorrow bye bye
