I feel like there's no bass in the barbershop quartet. Like there's nobody's like beatboxing with a barbershop quartet.'s just like i can only see that's that's the problem what we need to do is put people onto the history of the barbershop music because it starts in african-american culture and then it got man of mayo died over time and we got that you know do you know whatever you want to call it now the simpsons i just picture the simpsons

characters doing it with so the b-sharp very very shallow straw yeah baby on board that was their track shout out the b-sharps but yeah i don't know i mean like i'm i i really like acapella groups because if they if they can like really find a way to make a song sound good as like an acapella track then i'm like, the song stands. That's why, for a long time, I got into a huge YouTube, like, wormhole of looking for Kiss from a Rose, like, college acapella groups to see who I liked the most. Yeah. Were you there? Did Her Majesty invite you when we did that for the guest Daniel O'Brien for his birthday one year?

We brought in a college acapella group and they performed Kiss from a Rose for him with a surprise event that he was very embarrassed about. I remember that happening. Yes, yes, yes. And by we, I mean all the more thoughtful people on the crack team. This was back when you always had an AirPod in. I feel as however nasty would describe you. It was just like fried out of my brain.

one of the best follows on twitter uh the founder of a creative studio follow through it's the brilliant and talented cj toledano is up guys it was so hard to not interject and just compliment all that music it was very musical intro oh uh from both you guys very very impressed you know we do what we can we do what we can on this here show what are you doing man how how is uh fatherhood fatherhood is is good i i feel like in what we're in i'm in week 10 or 11 of fatherhood and i'm like settled enjoying it just i know what tired feels like i can handle it yeah it's um yeah it's great a lot of pictures a lot of videos cute kid i remember right before the birth you tweeted something to the effect of like yo i can't wait to be so tired like i can't wait to to pick up i was just like making it yeah like

megan carrying the child tag me in coach i'm gonna go i'm gonna be redlining out there till my till i have no gas in me and now you're saying you got there you found you found the spot and you're surviving well i definitely yeah i think i told you guys i was like i'm ready to contribute and like it was iffy there if that was like when I was actually contributing, man, that is tough. I had to walk the walk. And there was times where I was like, should I just walk out the door? But I got the handle on it. No poop is too gross.

I think, Jack, you told me you're just like Googling everything. I mean, I'm like a master of looking things up. Yeah. It's, you know, it's I've learned a lot and it's all very useful information. So as opposed to me just like looking up 90s NBA stats. So. Right. Right. It feels good to contribute and to bring a life into this world. I mean, I didn't physically. I mean, I did one part. into this world i mean i didn't physically i mean i did at one part but yeah yeah yeah very very brief yeah i don't know no i don't want to say so brief but yeah it is like compared to the nine enjoyable part the right right yeah yeah i don't think i've ever heard somebody be like cute kid about their own kid that's so funny man i you know because i'm just like this kid could have looked like anything i don't know if. See, that contributes to me wanting to raise him. Yeah. Yeah. That is huge.

When you're like, oh. You're not going to have a hot take about your kid. Yeah, I'm a vain person. Look like Megan's brother. You're like, wait, what? Why are you taking shots at the family now? Not the good one either. You know what I'm saying?

Does Megan have brothers? Yeah, yeah. He's got okay so that's two really really good brothers just spent a whole week with them july 4th we had family coming in i mean that's the other aspect of it all is like you just got to get through family coming in constantly like they do help but it also is like you got to entertain or like show more cups are you know right yeah it's's like they can help with the exhausting parts of the baby, but then they are exhausting.

They're also a baby too, to a certain extent. They're also pooping up their back. They're pooping up their back. They're clogging toilets. You know what I mean? The poop drama does not stop at the baby. You know what I mean? That's an all-ages poop. The poop drama does not stop at the baby. You know what I mean? That's an all ages activity.

It is. I'm glad to hear that. It's true. Some things don't change. Yeah. My parents have not. I don't know if I want to put my parents on blast. They listen to this.

But let's say that there's we've had some. I don't think we've gone one trip where they visited without a plumbing issue of one sort or another. Wow. We'll leave it at that. That's, you know, maybe we'll cut that. I don't know. You've only left two suspects. The biggest question, what I'm trying to do is trying to figure out because I feel like you can really tell the type of person with what they do with the plunger after.

You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Because there is no like protocol. It's like you got to use some critical thinking. type of person with what they do with the plunger after you know what i mean oh yeah like oh because there is no like protocol it's like you got to use some critical thinking so it's like what did you do with it and where did you put it right yeah and yeah i won't say in the kitchen sink washing it in the kitchen sink to dry over the plates to dry in the in the dish in the dish rack destroying track yeah oh yeah growing up we i remember our plunger was in a plastic shopping bag like in the corner

and like there was and i remember going to places people's house i'm like yo you just got the loose plunger yeah just like what are you gonna do what do you think where do you think that goes yeah like when it's being used and then after you're we just let it settle there i mean i've mastered the art of like tapping it on the rim of the toilet to get all the excess water off at the end and then like sheathing it in the plastic bag again but when you got loose sheathing hell yeah yeah i have to use like that motherfucker because i want to sound i want to sound more official than like throwing that shit back in a shopping bag i've gotten much better like i that is one of the old old man skills that i feel like has improved like drastically over the course of my life is

like unclogging a toilet i just had that thought the other day i was unclogging a toilet i was like damn like i really have this now it's all about getting the water in the plunger. You need to fill the plunger up with water. Yeah. No, 20% of my childhood was like, ooh, I think it's one more flush and it's fixed. And it was like going downstairs and watching the water fall and be like, this is the worst thing that could ever happen. Right. I like you bigging up yourself.

Like, as you're plunging a toilet you're like damn looking in the mirror like who's that motherfucker oh it's you that's right that is correct it's him yeah a lot of experience i'm just gonna put it put it out there all right we are gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment cj first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about the democrats and republicans are united. You know, everybody's like the big problem in this country is polarization. Well, there is one thing that Democrats and Republicans can unite around, and that is that they do not want a rematch of 2020. 2020 they do not want that same candidate in there and we will ask the broad societal question is it disrespectful to blast music at the beach and we might even get to some just first reactions to the web telescope photographs which yeah they're freaking me out freaking me out man they are freaking me out those images they're so so, they are a sight to behold. My God.

Yeah. People, I feel like a lot of the questions I'm seeing on social media are the questions that occurred to me when I would get too high when I was younger it was just like oh none of this matters we're just we're just a brief gurgling of biological activity between long spans of existence as space dust and people are like oh wow it's really big oh wait a second fuck oh no that's why we all need to be doing drugs and all be on that same yeah yeah i mean just realize you're insignificant that's the biggest step man let your ego die you ain't shit that's right but before we get to ego death uh cj we like to ask our guest what is something from your search history something from my search history would be i mean the plunger thing for sure but we don't need to talk about that anymore i'll pull something up right now let me just type in

wait research oh okay with plunger after using i i mean i feel like this is the wrong show but right now i've just my my top search their latest search was lakers first round picks. As you know, summer, free agency, it's just like, it's entered my brain and has yet to leave. I'm looking into the facts right now. That we will not have first round picks? This is the right show, by the way, because our other show is a partnership with the NBA,

so you can't talk shit. Gotcha. So this is where you get all the fire taste. Yeah, we get it out i mean as you know it's because cj also also the show with the nba yeah the nba yeah i feel like we're gonna get to in a second but yeah so lakers first date for summer league is happening i'm like you know running away from again all my responsibilities i'm like how do we get this kairi trade done and i'm like i don't care i'm with lebron i do not care about first round picks what where are they even in our future get rid of them all we don't need them who even is the first it's not even a person you know it's

like that it's like that space picture we it we don't even know what it is. Right. Get rid of it. Right. It's a theoretical probability cloud. Exactly. At most, that first round pick is what? 13 right now? Mm-hmm. Nah, we're good.

I don't need that 13-year-old. No. Oh, you mean age-wise. I thought you were saying the Lakers are so good, they wouldn't be anywhere lower than 13. I was done. That's why I made that kind of fucked-up face. To even conceptualize a first-round draft pick from the 2028 draft?

Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm just like... It's almost illegal to be even thinking about the 13-year-old that is good enough to not complete this kind of retrade right now right right yeah yeah not needed not needed what a gross profession like the people who are like scouts of like middle school students uh look at look at the you know just the length on this kid look at the body well at a certain point yeah there yeah. You could be a little too invested.

If you're having an argument over which fifth grader is the best in the country, you're like, well, you know, at the end of the day, what the fuck do you know about a fifth grader playing basketball? One of my searches, again, this is because I've been thinking about this goddamn pick and that whole theory. One of the greatest Mr. Show sketches, not to get all comedy nerd here, but

it's based off of Hoop Dream or inspired by Hoop Dreams where they go on, it's recruiters literally visiting homes with babies and talking to their parents about their upside. It's fantastic. That's amazing. What is something you think is underrated? The movie Houseguest. I literally just DM somebody who said they were watching it and and i said

that is a very underrated movie house guest with queen lit no no that that's bringing down the house okay another house movie sinbad and phil hartman oh yeah guys okay there's a great movie that is yet it's not talked about enough huh yeah you know this is a topical show and i i'm bringing it back to now the 90s but houseguest sin bad when comedies were good wow yeah released january 6th 1995 powerful day powerful day in this country's history i mean it's also a very racist movie where it's a mix-up where two two light-skinned black guys who do not look alike get mixed up. And Phil Hartman's like, yeah, this is my buddy from camp.

And it's like, he looks nothing like the other guy. Oh, no. Oh, boy. So that's the problematic part of it. But other than that, Sinbad's a legend. Wait, so who's the other dude? Wait, so is Sinbad actually on the run? Because it's about somebody who's on the run yeah

yeah he his bookies are coming he has like a gambling addiction and he owes money to his like bookies and they they go after him so he goes on the run at the airport he sees like um a phil hartman and his family holding up a sign because he's meeting his like buddy from camp and he sees like when they were children yeah yeah he sees the buddy the buddy is a light-skinned black guy sinbad light-skinned and was like oh i'm gonna go up and pretend to be him nice oh man and then the hilarity ensues i just watched the whole trailer on imdb the the thing i mostly knew it as was the vhs cover with simba simba's head poking out of a mailbox yeah because uh houses have mail back mailboxes so he's the guest who's in the mail simbad yeah guess what surprise surprise motherfucker the mob's looking for me the the ma on the run from the mob was the premise of

conservatively 75 of uh 80s movies oh yeah on the run it's that or witness a murder and witness a murder and on the run or on the run from a mob i think you've well most fish out of water experiences as you guys know happen because that person is always running from the mob. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Yeah. I've had like three or four fish out of water adventures in my life and almost exclusively on the run from a mob mix ups. Yep.

Yeah. What is something you think is overrated? Paper towels. Paper towels. I think, yeah, there there's you know what i think it's more so like the expensive paper towels with all the technology you know like the thing is if if the one less technological paper towels and doing it you just combine another sheet of that and it's getting it done i don't i don't need to be you know i'm grabbing whatever off the shelf the quilted

thicker picker upper yeah i don't need it i don't need to quit out of here i don't need to buy you know this isn't for my baby we have quilts quilt is for sleeping it's a that's a blanket at that point you're selling me disposable blankets there's one brand that i like because it's so lo-fi i forget what it's called but like i just know off the strength of looking at it because there's no texture on it and it like sticks to the roll that's what i'm saying there's pattern like we're playing too much around with these patterns like i'm not gonna enjoy the decor of my paper towels i'm gonna clean up shit with that you know what i mean so i don't actually want to like it less

i mean and also too like the other thing is as i've become just increasingly water conscious i'm like man just use that just use a like a dish rag for like everything then just throw that shit in the washing machine you know exactly yeah i mean have you guys i'll say don't use brawny because that's the Koch brothers paper towel. Oh, yeah. Fuck Brawny. I do feel like there hasn't been a big pickup in paper towel technology. Like, I feel, you know, I saw the ads growing up where they would, like, do the pickup and then, like, wring it out like it was a real towel and it, like, wouldn't break. And I've never had a paper towel experience

like that i have noticed like a couple fast casual restaurants having a type of napkin available that is like much better than the previous types of napkin like they're almost like more more like the disposable hand towels that you find in like really fancy. Oh, like a four seasons bathroom? Yeah, like public bathrooms. Have you noticed this? Yes. Yeah.

And I would describe it the exact same way, which is prior to that, I had only experienced a paper good like that from being in a like a nine star hotel. Yeah. Yeah. But I feel like there's there's something happening that's probably uh devastating to the ecology of the planet but what i'm experiencing right now is so i had chipotle the other day and their napkins are already look like trash and dirty like i used to be like oh i didn't use all these napkins i'm gonna save them but chipotle napkins i was just like furious with before i even used them i was like i have to throw these away and there was a

whole stack and they just like also they're clean yeah even though again i hate to keep call back in this but like i use those as toilet paper when i was poor in chicago right oh yeah napkins yeah yeah you always got to have them so maybe that maybe that's just like the connector in my brain. Maybe that might be all in my head. Right, right. I would say toilet paper, underrated when compared to any other option for using toilet paper. Nothing compares. It turns out.

Take it for granted. That was probably the most powerful piece of cold war propaganda i heard was growing up they were like the toilet paper in russia is real bad like i knew somebody went over there and it was like fingers were popping through that's why he's in that wheelchair yeah because using the toilet paper over there told you it's dangerous yeah i mean look that's why that's why i'm on that bidet life you know what i mean oh you were you a bidet adopter during the start i mean i had a bidet well you know and like in japan there's like all the a lot of the toilets they already have them so i've been i've been i've been knowing about the bidet for some time i only got it in my house

since like the podcast era began and that was like a thing where every podcast was like hey you want to use a bidet i'm like right yeah i do and life is life has never been the same a fluctuation in the early podcast era when it was mandated to use a bidet yeah well i like yeah the eras that we've covered, Cold War and podcasts. Yeah, exactly. Cold War gave way to the podcast era. All right. Well, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.

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? I just come here to 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.

And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. And we're back and yes it took took a lot to bring the two parties together but the donald trump and joe biden have done it uh both of of these candidates have caused their respective parties to be like nah fuck this we will not be running it back please yeah and to varying degrees right because it's we are in this moment where you ask anybody in america what they think about the country's direction and you get the same answer which is it's it's going down the toilet for vastly like 13 think it's going in the right direction for vastly different reasons right

if you're if you're a progressive person you're like man we are being so inhumane to people and we aren't seeing any progress like the kinds that the leadership had promised people and if you're on the right they're like things are too humane for certain groups of people and we're not regressing fast enough well you look at these look at the theft of cvs's that's like that's the main thing that i feel like republic the crime is out of control did you see all the shoplifting looks like that's not even a real story bro right is that like do you even have a cvs where you live actually no different market we don't have them in my part of the country but anyway you know you

look at the polls right now and like you're saying, it's the same thing. Democrats and Republicans would rather someone else in 2024 for their respective party, for their respective parties. For Democrats, the polls show that they are not impressed by Joe Biden

and would rather see another person. So just 26% of Democrats said they would prefer Biden as their party's candidate. 64% saying they want to see someone else head the ticket in 2024. That's of registered voters. If you ask Democrats under 30, 94% want Biden to GTFOH. I mean, it just seems like physically that's gonna be a given regardless my man is old yeah

yeah i mean that what did you cover the thing when he was like end of line repeat sentence oh yeah we did he ron bergen did that shit you're like ron bergen is shit out of it he's also perfectly happy to run run it back and just like be slightly more popular than the Republican alternative. Like, that's what he's saying. He's like, hey, I don't I don't compare myself to the almighty. I compare myself to the other alternative. Like, that's that's a thing that he repeatedly says. Great.

Yeah. It's like, no, man, people don't don't like you. We're worried that you're going to die any minute. And this is not it. My only concern is that they're going to be like, all right, vice president, you're up because that's been also not great. There's some cool sound bites I caught over the last couple of weeks. But I think, you know, most people rightly they point to his age and i honestly think every like i feel like that should be levied at like every member of congress

right now like y'all don't get it at all yeah and also just his job performance as key factors and why they're like yeah maybe we're better off with some a person who's merely not going like well at least i'm not this thing maybe provide a vision that you can follow through on. And then Republicans, how do they feel? Well, the younger fascists, they aren't feeling their old guy either. It seems a clear majority is from the New York Times, a clear majority of primary voters. So this is a specific group under 35 years old, 64 percent and also 65 percent of those with at least a college degree, which they say is an indicator of where like the donor class is. They told pollsters they would vote against Trump in a presidential primary. They don't want to see Trump in a presidential primary.

As it stands across the board, 49 percent of GOP voters would support Trump in a primary word to happen today 49 percent 25 percent would support ron desantis and that number seems to be growing and i think it's the same thing with republicans they're kind of like yeah trump you know he's that was cool and all and he normalized a bunch of heinous shit but like we need somebody maybe a little bit younger and also someone who's not so fixated on like getting revenge on his 2020 foes. Not exclusively fixated on that. Yeah, they do. They do point to that as being like, yeah, you know, I think that we kind of lost steam on that one. And the January 6th things aren't helping because that's slowly putting more people into the Joe Biden one fair and square column, like although very, you know, in a small number.

But, yeah, it's it looks like this a similar issue for Donald Trump, especially when you have a sexy young Ron DeSantis in the wing. But, yeah, I don't know. I still think I think he would win if if they ran it back and it was Trump versus Biden because Biden's just not like those numbers are still like the Biden numbers are wild. Like 94 percent want someone else. That's not like 94 percent of Americans don't think he should like run across the spectrum. cross the spectrum that's 94 of democrats don't want him to run like i'm i'm guessing they would still like vote for him in some cases but i don't know i it's just wild that they're like i i'm seeing the well uh biden still leads trump in like a head-to-head poll 44 to 41% like being posed as a like positive. Like if Trump wins, if Trump runs and wins, like democracy is over in the country,

we really can't like risk it and be like, ah, I think he has like the statistical edge, especially when like those sorts of statistics have been drastically under, under counting his support, like from day one. Like like yeah yeah we're fucking ourselves if we run this back well we'll see what happens because we're dealing with two old guys who don't want to admit that they're past it either you know what i mean which is the other

interesting dimension because trump over the weekend he i don't know if he truthed it or whatever, whatever dumbass website he, you know, he rants on. He goes on to kind of defend being old, even though like him and Biden are looking at the same problems with the base. It says, quote, President Biden is one of the oldest 79s in history. But, but, but by and of itself, he is not an an old man there are many people in their 80s and even 90s that are as good and sharp as ever biden is not one of them but it has little to do with his age in actuality life begins at 80 uh-oh i think we're gonna see a rematch oh god oh i've said like begins at 80 from day one like there's that you can't stop him with a truck and the entire might of the U.S. Army from running. Trump is running. That's for sure. And if he's not the Republican candidate, he's still running like it doesn't fucking matter. He's going to run. He's going to get a sizable portion of the vote like the we need the best candidate to stop him from actually winning well this is what i'm curious what what the republican strategists are trying to do too they're like fuck okay do we do we run

them again clearly we feel that we could put like a younger up-and-coming fascist in play and deliver on all the terrible like xenophobic theocratic dreams of like the the base at the moment um but i don't know i mean like the thing that we've seen is they're not they're they're they clearly fall in line when the when the hands are clapped together and they're told to get in their places they also like can't stop him they tried to stop him in the 2016 primary and it didn't work i mean they didn't try that hard but like that's they tried as hard as a like middle of the road republican is able to try and they couldn't stop him isn't and sorry i haven't said much i'm just like just seeing all the doom and it's just like

not getting any better i'm like this is depressing but either side like we've clearly found the formula to win presidency is like a little bit of confidence delusion. And we like, there's no other versions of that even like, I understand the game of it all. And no one else wants to step up. Right? Yeah, I mean, I think there are probably Democrats who are, you know, biding their time and being like, all right, he's going to back down. Somebody needs to convince him to back down. I am like with every passing day, I'm more convinced like we need a Bernie era parent or like some sort of left leftist populist candidate because not because like that, those are my political views, but because we've tried like so what we've

seen is that the mainstream democrats repeatedly underperform at the polls the republican populist people are like well that did not go well and there's just been like staggering support for like leftist populism since 2016 but it is the one thing that america like will not allow itself to even like legitimize so yeah again this was absurd like what happened to matthew mcconaughey running that was the perfect disguise because no one could tell is he a republican or democrat like let's just yeah we enjoy some of his movies because the thing is the president that position does not matter we're seeing you know with rovers wade and it's like all right biden you clearly don't agree do something about it if he can't do shit then what's what's the position of power then um so i'm like yeah i'll see another actor in there an actor from our generation i'm down that's the

question that i've had though is like can he really not do shit because i've also seen people I'm down. highway funding so like people couldn't fix their roads which is you know like they just like wouldn't give them any money until they agreed to change their drinking age which is like kind of a significant thing

because it's like they had the some data that told them like that's what needed to happen but it was going to cut out like a bunch

of sales right and like make them make the states lose money and they never recovered what's that the alcohol and spirits industry yeah exactly but that's what they would have had you believe at that time right for sure yeah i think i think louisiana is the only one that's left that's that like just has crumbling roads and a drinking age of 18 everywhere else is had to like come in line essentially yeah i mean i think in the era of like you know cable news and things like that it just it becomes a story and like already democrats don't

like are not willing to use the same kind of levers that past administrations may have used to try and get the party in line. But I don't know. It's unless you're I mean, they'll definitely you'll feel the machine come against you if you're trying to do something that's like outside of the status quo. But yeah, it's yeah. I think the Republicans are better at obstructing Democratic presidents than vice versa. I feel like we just need more young people to fucking run. the republicans are better at obstructing democratic presidents than vice versa i feel like we just need more young people to fucking run like i just want to see people like i just want to see millennials argue like with 70 year old like lifetime politicians like on the floor

of the capitol yeah and just be like no dude you're so old just i can't even listen to you yeah like this is this is all nonsense like you don't that would get young people voted that would that's like we need stuff that can end up on highlight reels we don't need like we we try logical thinking and presenting like of course we can't ban abortion like that that statement alone doesn't do but you got to have like just radicals you got to have like people like young people who are just going nuts on this shit. Like if you look at all of our films, right,

right now it's all about like parents, like apologizing to their kids is like the thrust of so many of like our millennial, like written and directed like films and TV. It's kind of like this new thing where it's like parents are sorry about what they did. Meaning there's a lot of this new thing where it's like parents are sorry about what they did meaning there's a lot of people that i actually don't like i don't like uh like the disney one like uh the like the big what was the the big red you know like there's a red turning

turning red or like everything everywhere all at once there's like a lot of things where like adults are kind of looking back on like their hand and how their kids are or like what they're and and like that used to just be like not something we considered i think as millennials or people of a certain age like we think about the connectedness of all that and i feel like maybe as generationally there's something to be like yo bro you can go yell at your stepdad if you run for office but you can do it on the floor and you can do it for like health care like that energy we're talking about my parents are like in-laws being in here and i like straight up told my my father-in-law i was like we can't buy a house because your generation and your baby boom like you guys ruined it for us and he was like i know and i'm sorry right and so it was like

we need that and a politician who was just like laying out how you guys ruined it and like we just need someone who can change this system it's it's not like we need someone to go in there and do the job it's like the whole thing's got to change well yeah because the discourse is to it's like it's not quite communicating to the people like something that they innately feel and it takes like it's like you see these moments where like you see certain back and forths between members of congress and like someone who's like a real estate banker or something like, whoa, they just serve this like industry banker for like their their bad business practices. And there is something where like you need more like people need to understand that that's like a huge thing, a huge energetic thing to tap into but when we leave it as like and vote for us to keep you know make sure that your educational costs are like that's not that this that shit doesn't

connect with people anymore it's like you we need to get a youtube influencer a person who knows how to work the head the titles on youtube who knows the algorithm of tiktok but can apply just just just reasonable logical common sense right but no it's not like i mean for real i'm like maybe that's how but no one's gonna do that because it's like oh i have a brand deal with freaking me undies um sorry you guys have that but uh you know what i mean right it's like seven times this congress person pwned the banking industry. And the thumbnail is like a banker with his eyes shooting out of their head. And you're like, damn, this is a great campaign ad.

I agree. Yeah. But I mean, we are seeing more people like who are like left leaning or young, like having success in american yeah politics not not like the united states but other like locally central and uh south american countries and yeah locally we're seeing it it's just the mainstream media and corporate democratic party like fight it harder than even the republicans so that is like what needs to be overcome by our TikTok candidate. Oh, yeah. And eventually, you know, you'll get co-opted by the machine and they'll be like, yeah, man, that was great. I love how you get those bite-sized things out. Now, can you say that in support of this Saudi Arabian arms deal?

Right. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk about how gas is too cheap. We'll come back and talk about how gas is too cheap.

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 boys. I just come here to 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. Right.

And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. And we're back. And yeah, so gas prices have been going down for, you know, dozens of days now in a row yeah and you know

shout out to joe biden for making not that happen but i guess he also didn't make the gas prices go up so we can we can well which one did he because if you watch right wing news you don't know who the fuck is in charge when it's up. It's, it's that goddamn Joe Byron, the gas demon who's sending up the rates at the pump. But then if it goes down, I, okay, I don't, I'll just play this clip from Fox where they're talking about how the anecdote, the setup for the anecdote couldn't be like waspier. Um, but I'll just let you listen in, but they're talking about how golly, the gas prices are going down and they're quick to remind themselves no we can't big up joe biden or nothing or say this is good uh want him to run again and the rest probably don't that is stunning by the way on gas prices i found a curious i was at a lacrosse

tournament up in wilmington delaware over the weekend. In Delaware and northern Maryland, regular gas is about anywhere from $4.55 to $4.80 a gallon. So the price is beginning to creep back down. It is. It is. And the point was made over the weekend, I believe it was the Wall Street Journal, that gas prices are actually coming back down historically faster with the price of oil than usual and it just goes to show you what an incredible risk uh reward calculation has to happen on the part of those small independently owned most of them mom and pop gas stations it's a struggle for all of them yeah still a long way from 355 a gallon but you know maybe some movement in that direction um so oh my god i mean i was at a lacrosse tournament lacrosse tournament oh my god that's in wilmington delaware it's just people who have the privilege to be mad you know it's

like i'm bored i can be mad be mad about whatever the fuck they want yeah yeah like they don't because they it doesn't actually affect them so they they're just watching it like a spectator sport and just being like, ah, fuck that. No matter what direction it happens in. But that's pretty great. We went to, it's been coming down. The gas prices are now on a steady downward trend. But actually, according to this other Rupert Murdoch owned out fucking media outlet, the Wall Street Journal, because we're just going to regurgitate the same BS back and forth into each other's mouths on the air. It's actually terrible. This is actually terrible for

all the mom and pop gas stations, because as you know, we're all about small businesses and we hate giant companies like Walmart who have laid waste to mom and pop. Oh wait, no, we aren't? Okay, it's hard to find consistency throughout all of this. But yes, they made this to become, the falling gas prices are the plight of the independent owned gas station. I mean, I get what they,

I guess maybe like a really broad theoretical sense. But to even try and spin that as like, yeah, but that's bad. But the price is going down is bad. Yeah, yeah. What is this? All right. So, CJ, you have to run. Miles and I are going to stick around and talk about the important issue of whether it's okay to blast music at the beach.

But first of all, thank you so much for joining us. Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry I had to run, guys. No, no. Running the break, basketball podcast with iHeartMedia. It is, yeah,

everything off the court. There's so many basketball podcasts out there talking about X's and O's. I care about that a little bit, but for the most part, I'm just like, how can I consume basketball?

And it's through buying shit, jerseys, sneakers, hats. I care about, like, all the outfit entr entrances all these players and yeah just um all the off-court stuff hosted uh alongside with um uh alex wong who has a really great book uh cover story people know he's written for slam um gq and a bunch of those places but but yeah i mean it's like it's a perfect basketball podcast especially to be listened to during the summer because yeah we're talking about the stuff that doesn't really involve trades any of that stuff so yeah it's uh it's been a blast to do so far nice man and where can people find you follow you on all that good stuff at cj toledano and at follow through studio yeah twitter instagram search it

you'll find a bunch of my stuff. Cute baby pictures as well? A lot of baby pictures. I gotta slow it down. I gotta pump the brakes and give some real content outside. Like, my cute kid. Yeah. Cute kid. Just how proud. You know, because it's my fault that he's cute, so. It's just a way to brag.

And is there a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying? I mean, i always love josiah king josiah 54 king of nba twitter uh you guys are familiar with him um just uh he's changing the game um very very funny and and just like plugged in yeah yeah you can hear him on a recent episode the recent episode of mad boosties and you can hear cj on an upcoming episode of mad boosties yes yes all right well thanks so much for joining us man thanks guys and we'll talk to you soon yeah yeah talk soon later all right well miles just the two of us and i think it's time that you and i

about uh which one you want to talk about you want to talk uh space photos or you want to talk well let's ask the big question. Is it disrespectful to blast music at the beach? This is, look, this was on Vice. Katie Way, who writes over there, even phrased it even more aggressively. It was, the piece was called Stop Playing Music at the Beach. Whoa. Now, to Katie's credit, she's like, look, I'm not here trying to create new laws.

I'm not saying people need to be punished for this. I'm just trying to bring up that I believe this is a Fawkes Pass. Okay. Or faux pas, depending on it. No, no, no. You had it right the first time. Fawkes Pass. Thank you.

Fawkes Pass. Yeah. Is it a Fawkesian pass to play your music at the beach? And I just want to just, like, I feel really conflict music at the beach and i just want to just like i i feel really conflicted about this but i just want to use katie's words say quote i understand that people like to listen to music when they're outside on any other body of water i say go for it take your speaker on the boat blast tunes at the lake make a playlist for tubing on the river crank that shit at the pool whatever but the ocean comes with its own gorgeous natural soundtrack, a soundtrack so soothing that it puts

babies and insomniacs to sleep. And I do not want it drowned out by someone's summer vibes playlist. Music at the beach is a rejection of life's simple pleasures, the bounty of nature, taking paradise and putting up a parking lot. To quote a song I definitely would not play, Oceanside. What about the elemental pleasure of hearing waves crash against the sand? Isn't that enough for some people? Now I'm split on this. I love hearing music allvering. But I also get very opinionated when I hear music that I don't necessarily vibe with being blasted in my direction. Like, that's why I'm curious. Like, you know, like, for example, if I'm at a beach, some kids listen to some, like, West Coast rap or whatever, and someone's like, hey, can you turn that down? I would most likely be like nah nah shut the fuck up let this shit bang right but if someone had

like some aggro hardhouse playing which I'm not trying to hear at the beach I think there's a time and place for hardhouse you know and put my candy on and start candy stepping but it's not at the beach I would probably side with the person asking for lower volume so all that to say is I'm wildly inconsistent on this but I feel like personally I would probably side with the person asking for lower volume so all that to say is i'm wildly

inconsistent on this but i feel like personally i would probably err on the side of consideration because i do overall i kind of i like the golden rule like if i'm not trying to have that shit be blasting in my face then i'm not going to put somebody else through it yeah i will say blasting music is like one of those, you know, philosophical, like everybody loves their taste in music and expects it to translate to other people. They want other people to feel what they feel when they're playing their music. And the vast, vast majority of the time that shit does not work. and the vast vast majority of the time that shit does not work and blasting it at the beach is like you know i think people dealing specifically with that misconception or just not giving a fuck about the fact that there's that misconception i will say the soundtrack of a lake is just as pretty as the soundtrack of at the beach i will say the like the music is going to carry more at the lake this feels very classist to me because you are

like the lake river like thing i feel like tends to be like people or on your boat, for instance. It's fine. Some some music. But at the beach where you are like more likely to encounter like other people from like different class levels than you, I feel like is when it becomes a problem that that bothers me a little bit especially because in my experience like the like somebody can't take over the beach with their music the the beach is pretty loud in and of itself so like oh man you you're gonna be able to like just move down the beach and find and like get rid of that sound i pretty yo a couple years ago these kids they had it over they took it the fuck over okay i couldn't believe the the fidelity and the the power of the speakers that they brought and it was like that's that's one thing like if you have your fucking you know bluetooth thing

you're not that's not gonna carry as far and if it's that big of a deal like a lot of the times i have headphones on at the beach anyway because like i because i kind of want to really be immersed in my music like i don't necessarily need to just have it out like ambient like that but which all leads me to believe is do we need a turn up section at the beach and i think that's a good section i feel like that's really what it is it's all about the expectation like because everyone's going to bring their own expectation to the beach and i get you because like as i read it i was like are we getting into karen territory which is why at the end of the piece katie way is saying like i'm not here to even say like a fucking lifeguard needs to intervene i'm just trying to put it out there this is my

feeling about like how much how loud shit can be at the ocean versus other places. And that's their own personal shit. But don't you feel like the ocean is pretty loud in and of itself? Like that, like it just feels like the ocean takes up a lot of the space. But yeah, I don't know. I need to,

I guess I need to go to that beach where the kids just drowned out the, the sound of the surf. That's why. And don't get me wrong. There are times I'm like, fuck you. I'm so glad this person's blasting their like whatever music. I'm like, because I don't listen to this shit. But also like they're having such a good time just by osmosis.

Like I'm getting a secondhand good time off of their music I don't normally listen to. So that's why I'm like not always across the board. That's what I'm saying. If anything, I just have more of an opinion opinion not like they didn't turn this shit off i'm like oh this person doesn't know shit about music it's like like a system of some sort like like not not like go to the lifeguard and be like can you tell them to turn that yes trash off but more of like uh okay this is like you said this is the section where you can play music, and rather than everybody just blasting music on top of one another, we have an aux cord, essentially, where everybody gets to play their music,

and it has a nice sort of sound design or something, rather than just everybody bringing their own little speaker and competing. I don't know. We could definitely work together and come up with a solution that allows you to like enjoy music at the beach but not like ruin other people's time at the beach yeah but also that's the thing is like i'm trying to think if it really the only time it's been ruined is like if you actually sometimes you want to take a little nap at the beach because it is soothing to some like when the waves are loud you can just kind of drift away you know and then if suddenly you having to listen to like some soundcloud remix of like

justin bieber mashed up with like diana ross or something maybe it's not the best time for that but that's why in a way like i feel conflicted because i also don't want if i'm feeling it i damn sure don't want somebody to be like uh you, you can't do that. Like, fuck you. Watch me turn this shit louder. Yeah. But part of me also feels like, you know, maybe there, maybe there,

maybe she would just be way more alive if there was a turn up section at the beach too. Right. Just like a beach party. Yeah. I've heard of those. I don't think I've ever been to a beach. I mean,

either they look cool on the TV shows. Right. I guess there was that one time when I was playing soccer and then my ex-girlfriend started flirting with this guy and I kicked him in the stomach at a beach party, beach bonfire. Is that your real life? Yeah, it was me and my crew. We were just rolling around on our crotch rockets. Yeah, yeah, man. That's's me what are you talking about yeah well yeah let us know i mean or is there a limit right it's like look if if you come with a bluetooth only so much a bluetooth can do like shut the fuck up like you can turn up your little area with one bluetooth speaker

yeah are there limits right like are if you're daisy chaining five Bluetooths together to make a mega tooth. Yeah. Are you violating that? A whole mouth of teeth. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. Like when I think of the soundtrack of the beach, I'm like picturing people like going by on their bikes with like a Bluetooth speaker or something.

And I hear their music for, you know, it like fades in and out in like five seconds because then, you know, just the sound of the ocean just crushing fucking the beach. The one time it is wild is when you're actually, you know, is when you're camping. That's been the one time I'm like, yo, this is a violent. This is a camping is violence. Yeah. Like if you're like when some dude is like coming down off molly like at six in the morning and they're blasting like jungle yeah like and you could hear that from like three sites away you're like dude no no no no no this is i didn't ask for a wake up by uh you know jungle drum and bass but i do sometimes but not in that circumstance i Got you. Got you. Well, Miles, it is truly a pleasure to have you back.
