Here's a cold open. Some for the kids. What was I just doing this week and then I thought of. It was really cool. I remember what I was doing this weekend. It was so fucking cool. Dude, I was doing something really fucking cool this weekend. And no, I wasn't.

What do you do? And there's like nothing. It's like this is the cold open. This shit. Yeah, this is a cold. You know, keep keep her going. You keep rolling. Let's get it out.

This is going somewhere. Let's workshop this. What did I do that? So cool. You guys think it's so fucking cool. What the fuck was it? I Forget it. You buy that brown hat Nope. Oh used to be white and I pulled it out of the fire ash You know prison could really change a man

I used to be white. What's that? I was a drummer in the Osmonds Wait when and then when did they become Jefferson Starship? That's like That they started doing drugs or something and they're like they started doing more harder drugs Yeah, something like that. What's what's even what? Oh white rabbit. Okay, is that Jefferson Airplane or Starship of white rabbit does white rabbit? It's just like the only song of days. I know two songs from their album summer of love somebody to love and White rabbit was on rolling. What's the lady the singer's name? Grace slick. Yeah, that's it. Mm-hmm. So it's like former members of Jefferson Airplane And White Rabbit was on Rolling Stones. What's the lady, the singer's name? Grace Slick? Yeah, that's it.

So it was like former members of Jefferson Airplane that joined to make Jefferson Starship, but they were not, it's not like they just like did a name change. Oh, I just, I love thinking of it as like a chrysalis, like a fucking, helping a butterfly and like we're no longer It's like that man there's a band called a manduul and it was a bunch of Amateurs basically and all the good people in the band were like actually let's start a band called a manduul to Where all the good musicians actually make music instead of fucking about that's so fun. I love petty naming like that We're like nah, we're actually carrying the essence of this thing. So we're Jefferson star. It's better than an airplane. We're actually fucking rocketing off into the fifth dimension. So I know how you guys like think

it's cool to just be on an airplane. We're going to fucking outer space. Starship. Oh, you guys leveled up on them. Starship. Oh, and then they got sued and then they had to just become Starship. And then they reformed the group as Jefferson Starship, the next generation. In 1992. No, you lost it. You lost the plot. Sorry. Benjine Rambeiri is like, what the fuck? Now I got to sue y'all. What are you talking about?

A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime.

A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors,

and you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Authram, the Houston lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the iHeart radio app, Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth?

Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to Shock Incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part? Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone.

In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode. His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you. But then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sometimes it's hard to remember, but.

Going through something like that is a traumatic experience, but it's also not the end of your life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it, that our trauma is not our shame to carry, and that we have big, bold, and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co-president of this organization, Dr. Lea TraTate.

On my new podcast, The Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like, and sounds like, in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls, mothering as resistance, and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's walk in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to The Unwanted Sorority, new episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

You just go on the streets of my neighborhood and grab some. Hey, man What's that? Is that Mike working? Yeah Come on. Come on. I'm in the car. All right What would be the equivalent of like a Home Depot parking lot where you would find I guess it would be like a Podcast movie any industry event for fucking literally every those are so jarring like when we've gone to those events and

Like the energy everyone is a podcaster. It makes me want to be like Yeah, everybody's just looking around the room just like oh Any networking event? Yeah when people just clocked your fucking like badges and they're like, what do you know? No, sorry No, okay. I'm like they say, does that read your lanyard? What are you now? They grab your lanyard while it's on your neck with their hands. Look at it. No Sorry, I'm nearsighted. Just real quick. Yeah. No, sorry. Yeah, you are for me dog and you are nowhere near the game, homie Okay, so good luck to you. All right. This is the episode where we tell you what was trending over the weekend We also start off by telling you some stuff we think's overrated underrated

Miles do you want to kick us off with something? Do you think is underrated? underfucking rated is Okay, this is gonna get me canceled, but I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna land the plane here. Okay bodycam videos of law enforcement, however however It's it's fish and wildlife warden body cam videos that I think are underrated Okay, because you know fuck the police all day and a cab does include fish and wildlife wardens because I also see videos Where like they're harassing like people of color who are just like I don't know bro

We fish like this is what we do and like yeah, can I check your pole? I'm like, okay this now you're copping it up. Mm-hmm But the videos that first were shoved in my face through the algorithm on YouTube were Fish and wildlife like wardens Busting like rich white people on their boats doing like I love this genre because a lot of the videos that I watch is just busting rich white people like, who are illegally lobster fishing or something, like off the coast of like fucking Nantuck,

like, you know, some shit like that. Yeah. Where they're just like blatantly off the walls. Violating the walls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like, hold on. Just a couple of yachts together. Yeah. Lobster fishing.

Yeah, just like grabbing them and they're like, hold on, let's measure these like these aren't even you got to toss these back. What are you doing? I like the baby ones because you can see the fear in their eyes. Yeah. And they taste sweet or raw. OK, freak. But yeah, they're they're like always illegally catching lobsters or oysters

or like fishing with illegal bait or like fucking spear guns that they were eating lobster and and eating them like Ursula eats those little souls 100% and the videos are great because like these fish and wildlife like they're they're like hey We're gonna do a resource check really quick Just check make sure you got enough your like they start off being like I want to see make sure y'all got enough like Life jackets you got your fire extinguisher got this but really they're doing like a Fucking Colombo type thing like mm-hmm. I'm sorry to get Natasha Leah one more thing here. What's in the buckets over there?

I'm not other ones. Oh, you didn't tell me you were fishing for lobsters Well, this is so and the way these people are all they every time their defense is like I do this all the time I do this all the time. It's so bad. It's just never been harassed by a law enforcement agency in their life. And it's so amazing because then this person like, you know, these are, these are technically felonies like each one that you've got here. And they're like, no, no. Um, well, but I do it all the time. Yeah.

Seriously. Like what can we do here? The cop has to be like, you need to stop saying that. One guy was like, got a misdemeanor. And then he's like, is this the lowest we can go? He's like, technically these we do here? Stop saying that. The cop has to be like, you need to stop saying that. One guy was like, got a misdemeanor. And then he's like, is this the lowest we can go? He's like, technically these are felonies. So yeah, I mean, like these are crimes. So I'm like, this is the lowest version I can, you know, get ticket.

But here, let me show you some video of me doing this before to prove that I do this all the time. Why do you think that helps? I don't know. But that's why I love because that's the the that's just the essence of those videos is because the ones I've seen They're busting these very privileged people who'd think they the law is not like apply to them But these visual wildlife ordinance they don't give a fuck They're like I was watching you for two hours is what you don't like some of these people were like

I was clocking you from the shore. Okay. And then I decided to come out here. So you can't explain anything to me. And they're like, I was at the bottom of the ocean undercover as a fucking lobster, bro. Surprise motherfucker. I was the lobster. Freeze. Somebody pops out of the bucket. But anyway, I found myself really being tickled. Those sound wonderful. By like busting like fucking hedge fund dudes who are like spearfishing like, you know, like little tiny fish they don't need to be just because they're having a good time drinking.

Yeah. Well, I wonder how often they're like, and let me just breathalyze you real quick. Oh, those seem to always smash. Everybody's just smoshed. Yeah. My underrated throwing old shit out. I realized this weekend I got a new water bottle

right here. For my birthday. Yeah, no big deal. When's your birthday? Yesterday. Yesterday, Miles. And I... Babe, I'm sorry. I did it again. Seven years in a row Yesterday, Miles. Oh my God. And I. Babe, I'm sorry.

No, it's fine. I did it again. Seven years in a row now, babe. It's not like you were in my neighborhood and could have stopped by. I know I was there for some. And see, I picked up a free bike. Okay, I'll give you the free bike I picked up.

It's for a six-year-old. And that's what I'm getting at. Underrated, not having that free bike that you picked up. Six-year-olds rusty bike. Um, I, uh, so I got this and thank you. Uh, I got this new water bottle, uh, and I realized that my default was to save the instructions to the water bottle. The like little folder that comes with the water bottle, even though like, I don't think I've ever used the instructions for a water bottle. Like,

once you read it, you kind of get, get the gist. Yeah. But like I realized I have water bottle instructions that are just like left in my junk drawer, you know, like, and then also this weekend, I realized like, I have, you know, like there's like the little plastic kitchen sink catcher thing that you put in the, in the, Oh, like the drain. Yeah. Like a drain catcher. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like catch it so it doesn't go down the drain. I realized that we've had the same one for four years. It has a hole.

Does not function. And I've just, like there are just certain things that for some reason in my brain, like I think I've talked about it with socks before, that like holes in the heels of my socks, I just put them back in, I'll put them on, be like, oh shit, these have holes in them, and just put them right back in the drawer. Like I can't throw it away.

I think it started with the cotton balls and pills and pill bottles when I was a kid. You get the cotton balls in there? You know the cotton balls that like come in pill bottles? They keep a kid, cotton balls in there, you know, the cotton balls, they're like common pill bottles. You don't need those. I know that's just for the ship, the package. That's just for the shipment for the moving of it. Yeah.

But what, like I just, I just break apart and like there, the pill bottles empty, but that cotton balls still in there. What you do so you don't feel like you're wasting it with every new bottle of Tylenol or whatever you open, take the cotton ball and work incrementally on a picture of the Easter bunny with each piece of cotton and you're working towards it. And now we're recycling. There you go. Yeah. So I don't want to encourage throwing shit in the landfill. So maybe I should have

uses for this, but I don't know. There's just certain things that I will die with. Like the trash cans that came with our house, like we're falling apart. And for some reason, yeah, like just from the city, like the wheel was falling off like that. And then once the wheel stopped working, the bottom like got dragged and like, and there's just like dirty I'm going to say, like, just get a replacement. Like it never occurred to me for like years. I was just like, you're loyal, man. I am doomed to I'm loyal to like weird shit to the wheels. Literally come off my garbage can till the wheels fall off. Yeah.

I say to my garbage can. It's up there. I'm like, I'm going to go get a new one. I'm going to go get a new one. I'm going to go get a new one. I'm going to go get a new one. I'm going to go get a new one. I'm going to go get a new one. I'm going to go get a new one. I'm going to go get a new one. I'm going to go weird shit to the wheels Off my garbage can till the wheels fall off. Yeah, I say to my garbage I'm like taking it your your first tattoo is this garbage can you like love you?

Anyways, I'm trying I'm trying to be more cognizant You know, I'm I I keep paperwork for shit if they're if it even pretends to be a warranty card, right? I'm like, oh, I can't I'm not fucking but look stupid out here when they go. Well, where's your warranty card? I'm like, oh, I threw it away Yeah, and even if it's mentions a warranty I'm like keeping it her Massey all the times like why the fuck do we still have this? And I'm like, you know, you just like file it like within the first 30 days, right? And I don't do that your water your water bottle. And she says that.

And she's like, well, you've missed that window. And I'm like, yeah, but like maybe I'll have a case afterwards. Maybe they'll they'll make an exception for me. I kept it. Yeah. So many old receipts that like the I have it. I have a receipt right here that doesn't have any writing on it on either side because it's worn out. Yeah. Yeah, it's just I know that yeah That's just that's completely empty. Yeah, and that's good. It's been on my desk for like six months

That's good I haven't thrown it out because I'm we're not maybe maybe I'll maybe I'll be able to divine what there's no Shit going on here folks move keep it moving Find a new angle those ADHD memes where they're just like they just like read me like directly into my soul you like no way oh no I made it this far what's something miles he thinks overrated overrated clean neighbor like emphasis on clean neighborhood is so clean it's so clean here I love how clean it is here when people like talk about

I just say this because I was in a part of the LA that was so clean that Hmm. It was freaking me out. Like I was getting uncomfortable with how any sign of Societal friction was erased in any capacity. You know, cause like, you know, people like really hate graffiti and some people they'll see graffiti and they think they're in the fucking thriller video or some shit. They're like,

ah, this is people through the booths. Yeah, this is a nonstop piece someone threw up. And I'm not saying like, I want to see every like building bombed out with like non-stops or something like that, but I like seeing graffiti places if that makes sense. It makes me feel like people live there, that there's a little bit of anti-social behavior going on, that we're acknowledging that there that there are there is discontent happening with the youth something. There are cool people who live here.

There's also, yeah, the homie Astro is throwing up sick pieces right now. But all that to say is like, I don't know, there's just something, I think growing up in like North Hollywood, I was always using graffiti and also going to like, you know, where all my cousins live, there's always graffiti. So that was just felt very normal to me to the point that when it's gone, I'm like, something's wrong. What did they do to all that? Where are all the people who do graffiti? Because those are the fun people usually. And I don't like it. So yeah, I just I just want to live in a world that allows the graffiti, not that I'm saying we

need state sanctioned graffiti, but like, you you know, you let that shit go, you know Sometimes it's it makes me feel like I'm around regular people rather than like this hyper sanitized world It's a very small nuance thing and I'm not trying to say like Graffiti every home but like when I see it on a fucking bus bench. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I'm so they call me Keith. Okay, that's how I like it I like to see my little graffiti here and there and I don't Like there's a there's a spot like in this area that I'm living in now. There's the alley is so clean It worries me. Oh really like there's not even a fucking cigarette

But like in I can't even find a cigarette, but some how's that happening? Is it local? find a cigarette, but some, how's that happening? Is it local? Like government? Is it like how that happens? Because the sweepers are maybe just getting it in, in the Alps, they just have the best street sweepers. People who, I don't know. I mean, just either way, like it's fine, but also I like a little, I like a little grime, you know, get grimy. Yeah. I do feel like there's less graffiti in other countries than I've seen in like,

at least like Tokyo doesn't have much graffiti, right? It is in areas. There's definitely spots where people are doing graffiti. It's like sanctioned. Yeah, we're more just so like, it's such like an industrial area where like it's less out of the public view Yeah, but I see I mean i've seen more and more graffiti there

But like you look at paris bro, there's graffiti fucking everywhere everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, and i'm just like yeah, bro. That's fucking awesome Yeah, yeah Yeah My seven-year-old's like obsessed with graffiti like he really like thinks it's cool and like it just seeing it through his eyes Is more like yeah, this is like a thing we should be looking for and like, you know, celebrating in some ways. Um, but yeah, I think the default American view of this and, and at least, you know, rich white neighborhoods is like, this is a sign of the end times.

Yeah, exactly. And I think it's a thing where people don't want the sort of markers that there is discontent around you. I think that's how people see it. They're like, well, if there's a gang, that means there's poor brown people, like whatever they're, whatever they go, many other steps. And I'm like, well, there's this, you know, sometimes you need a little flavor with your graffiti. Okay. All right.

My overrated, first of all, just the fucking helicopters, the LAPD helicopters, like all Friday night, our whole family was kept up by like helicopters. I was dreaming of helicopters all night. Oh, because it was ambient. Yeah. I had a dream that I was like in a tall building and like there was just a helicopter outside the window and I was like watching the helicopter pilot like realize that he didn't know how to fly a helicopter I was like making phone calls and like reading a manual and shit.

I was gonna say like you've watched maybe so much die hard you're like I'm in this building and there's a helicopter. I'm sure it was like yeah but I just but that's how close the fucking helicopter was yeah yeah like it felt like it was. Yeah. But that's how close the fucking helicopter was. Yeah. It felt like it was just like through a window, like right there. And then it would like go away and then like come back. And it was, I don't know. It's just an insane imposition of like power and empire that I feel like doesn't accomplish.

Like symbolically, I feel like doesn't accomplish. Like symbolically, I feel like it accomplishes what they want it to. But like if you look at things you could actually sell to people, if you were telling them the truth of like what is actually accomplished and then what is like lost from the helicopters being everywhere, I feel like you would not be able

to make the case for these fucking things. No, I mean, our, our, our controller, Kenneth, Mahia did remember that audit and the fucking LAPD lost it on him because he's like, we're going to audit. Like what's the fucking point of the helicopters that you guys use? And it's, it costs the city like $3,000 per hour. So, so around $127,000 per day of helicopter, like that's what it costs, or $46 million a year. And the other part was when they're like, what do you guys even like doing the fucking helicopters for 61% of flights were dedicated to activities not associated with the highest

priority incidents? Yeah, I was in a fucking 4th of July neighborhood thing, like back on 4th of July, and there was an LAPD helicopter that like came to like, be like, happy 4th of July from the LAPD. Fuck you. And I was like, man, if this was brown people in this park, they would be like, this is an illegal gathering,

you must disperse now. But instead these people were like, the guy was trying to buzz the crowd, like in a helicopter in a fun way. Yeah. And everyone was like, no, get this fucking parade. And they did that to like this parade. It was like a Korea town parade that was like walking down the middle

of the Korea town street. And you know, we brought the Cub Scouts and they had fun and like wave flags and stuff. But the LAPD helicopter was like doing really like wild shit like flying like 10 feet off the ground. And you're like, holy shit, that thing is huge and powerful. It's just like such a part of LA, like the texture of LA's life that like just feels like

we swallowed a thing and are like digesting it But it just like sucks, right? It's not it's not good. It's not worth it. It's It's meant to harass like like people who don't make enough money to live in the nice areas You know, it's always in low-income areas and doesn't fucking prevent anything. But hey, you get to be addicted Hey, what are you doing here? It doesn't fucking prevent anything, but hey, you get to be addicted. You'll be like, what are you doing here? Happy 4th of July.

Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Like I was honestly, I was telling her, imagine like, bro, you know what? I can already see a headline about how some LAPD fucker helicopter pilots trying to do some fun shit for a community and then crashes it into the fucking function. And then my other overrated is just my dream logic because at, during that night,

cause I kept getting woken up every like 15 minutes, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. Solve the molecular structure of benzene figure out it was a ring by dreaming of a Snake eating its tail like tells you all this like cool shit about how the brain works and like using Visual symbols instead of language. Mm-hmm. So I was dozing off and I came up with an idea that I wrote down and I want to Stone creamery pocket litter flavor

you what is called stone creamery pocket litter flavor, which is just a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And then they like drop in their pocket or on the kitchen floor and it gets like a hair in it or like a flip or some like pocket lint. So some of the boys, gum wrappers, some hair where there's original in the wrapping and And it's kind of like melted in the wind. Oh, an elderly pocket? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Anyways, that's what my brain came up with and thought was worth writing. You're like, holy shit. Or even like a Ben and Jerry's where like the little things that are in it are just

things from your like pocket or drunk drawer. Goldfish cracker crumbs. I have that in my pockets a lot now with a young kid. Yeah, Lent. Wow. Um, yeah. Lent. Um, wow. Well, I'm just saying Ben and Jerry's free idea. Wow. For free. Yeah. Yeah. You're a kind guy. We could work together. You're a kind guy. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about the news. Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going through something like that is a traumatic

experience, but it's also not the end of their life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it, that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us.

We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part? Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name, Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February, 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode.

His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you. But then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own.

Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA.

Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen and I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab we'll learn about victims and survivors and you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Authram, the Houston lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. We're back. And a quick round up. It continues to be- So much to round up. The Epstein story continues to be a thing. Donald Trump continues to seem very uncomfortable with it being a thing and he's thrown a lot out there to try and.

So much. It's truly now we have to do our weekend Epstein glyphosate roundup. Just everything that's happened. Okay. So Fox last week, it was shown that like Fox is barely mentioning the Epstein story. Like they've clearly got their orders to be like, shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, talk about anything else. To the point that when James Carville was on Jesse Waters' show, Jesse Waters was like, James, is this kind of like, you know, like a hetero bro the Democratic party needs?

Like, what y'all need to be talking about the Epstein story? None of y'all talking about that right now. That's the biggest thing happening. You're talking about this. And he was like, it was just one of those moments where Jesse Waters had to be like, uh-huh. And I don't have much else to sort of pivot off of. He later on, like last week, was also out here begging viewers to not quote, take the Democrats bait on the Epstein story. So they're trying that.

By asking the questions that literally anybody would ask when somebody was acting in this way. Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly. Dan Bongino is writing tweets that are basically promising his followers, like, Cash and I, like, we are doing an honest job. And he said something to the effect of like, in our investigations, what you will get is the truth. Not my truth, not someone else's truth,

not the truth we want, but the truth, which is like, oh, you're priming them for disappointment, it sounds like. So that's going on in Bon Gino world. Obviously more evidence came out of like Trump signing shit for Epstein, like the birth, they're like, they're like, bro, we have all this stuff.

We're just, just so you know, we're just dripping it out to extend this controversy as long as possible. The New York Times had a picture of a copy of the art of the deal where Trump signed and he's like Jeffrey You're the best. Okay. What what else do we need? Like we have him saying Jeffrey's a great guy and I understand he likes underage women in the same sentence Like what more do we need to suggest that he was on board? And I understand he likes underage women in the same sentence. Like what more do we need to suggest that he was on board?

Did you see that clip that because a lot of thing, you know, it's wild. People keep up bringing up Howard Stern clips from when Trump was on. And there are there's like a couple moments where he's always said some wild shit where like Howard Stern called him a sexual predator when he's there with him, like Ivanka's next to him, he goes, yeah, I am. Like he kinda goes, yeah, he's like, come on, Donald, you're a sexual predator, and he's like, yeah, I am.

Hey, what can I say, you know? What, I'm a bit of a sexual predator, it seems. But yeah, the damning, here, I'll play it, because he mouths it, like, in this very guilty way, or he says, it's true, this very guilty way or he says it's true This is a part like a fun old grandma you you know about sexual predators and things like that. I mean No, I do Even if even Ivanka's like right daddy get elbows him like

Even Ivanka's like, right daddy? Get elbows him like, ah, she got her ass homie. Anyway, so it's all there folks. You know, like everyone who knows him is like, you're a bit of a sexual predator. Then Speaker Johnson, he's now saying, we should not release the Epstein files because we need to consider the victims. Despite the fact that nothing we do as a party

ever considers the humanity of fucking anyone anywhere except for maybe the donor class. So I mean, when they first started talking about not releasing the files, they specifically said, like, we don't want to like make it hot for anybody like any of the people who might be named in there. Like they were specifically talking about like the donor class, essentially. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Not like I'm named. Not the people who were, you know, had to experience the fucking sexual predation of these people to serve the survivors. It's so foreign to them to think about the victims that like they need. That's like the fifth week. The fifth week of the story is when they come up with coming to yeah now doing woke Excuses now they had to like have it explained to them like yeah, that's yeah, it's it's that look they're trying Everything and again, I thought these files are made up by Obama or Biden

But but now this is a more victim like survivor centric approach Sure, I don't know But now this is a more victim, like survivor centric approach. Sure. I don't know. Mark Wayne Mullen, who is one of my God, I used to think Kennedy was probably the dumbest Senator Mark Wayne Mullen might be. He crazy because he has a name, Mark Wayne, Mark Wayne, Mark Wayne, uh, to together that suggests like air edition, but yeah but you'll be shocked here. Here's a clip of him. He was on Jake Tapper show again. He's so desperate to try and spin this for

Trump that he's just disconnected himself fully from reality to try and make, uh, the, uh, sweetheart deal that Jeffrey Epstein got in 2008 and Obama Obama thing. And again, I think I know, I know we think of like, oh, eight, the hope and change election. But you know, you don't enter office until January of that next year. That's why it's called project 2025, not project 2020. Anyway, whatever. This is him being fact checked in real time. He's like, no, Obama had nothing to do with that. And Mark Greenwald is like, well, bro, Obama had nothing to do with that. And Mark Greenwald's like, well, here

it is. Way before I was in office, way before Trump was even considering to be in office, way before Pam Bonnie was office, way before Cash Fatale was director, 2009, there was a sweetheart plea deal that was made underneath the Obama administration with Epstein. And that sweetheart has not been exposed. Stop being at him. It was 2008. It was the US attorney at the time was a guy named Alex Acosta He was a Bush appointee. He went on to become President Trump's secretary of labor. It all took place in

2008 it was an office at the time 2008 George W. Bush was an office at the time George W Bush no 2009 is when the case came out and it was in Was an office. It's not true Low budget no Niles Obama I got 2009 Obama by there's Obama by his 2009 Obama Biden is a hoax. Okay, don't release the files. It's fine Yeah last week He was also talking about how like the senators and they're in the party were having to vote to not have the Epstein files

Come out to give Trump quote cover But again, nice try you guys tried that one. That was a bit of a swing and a miss Friday when Trump was on his way to Scotland Hugh This guy basically said there is a list, but he has it? He can give you a list? Right. This is when he started really pivoting hard to the Clinton of it all, and this is he's again he's being asked, hey what's up with these files? And Trump immediately just goes, he just

starts dime dropping on all these other people. So here's Trump now saying, you know who you should really look into, it's these people and I got a list for you. I don't know exactly what's happening, but I certainly can't talk about parties. Can you trust what she's telling him? She's a convicted trafficker who's eager to get out of prison. Well, he's a professional lawyer. I think he's been through things like this before.

But you should focus on Clinton. You should focus on the president of Harvard, the former president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard.

You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the president of Harvard. You should focus on the focus on Clinton. You should focus on the president of Harvard, the former president of Harvard. You should focus on some of the hedge fund guys. I'll give you a list. These guys lived with Jeffrey Epstein. I sure as hell didn't. Thank you very much.

He said, I'll give you a list. I'll give you a list. Sorry. I have a list. The list does not exist, but I have it and I will give it to you. Is it Uchi Wally or is it one Mike? Is this a Obama Byron hoax or is there a list and the people that are on it are bad or it's all a joke or it's only Democrats that are on it and that's bad or is Sexual predation not a thing anymore as we've seen there been a lot of weird fucking takes over the weekend about that

And then Trump then posted on truth social that he's basically gonna look into like Oprah and Beyonce Yeah, Kamala fucking I don't know what for endorsing Kamala. Yeah. Yeah, we're not that money go I mean, yeah facts would they spent that shit terribly But in the same I'm sure they're just giving money away to consultants who are like, yeah It's gonna cost about this much and like yeah fine. I don't know if I'm take it. But yeah, he's now He's al Sharpton also in the mix. So now I mean $600,000 to very low rated TV anchor Al Sharpton also in the mix. So now, I mean- $600,000 to very low rated TV anchor, Al Sharpton,

a total lightweight. He loves that one. And others be named for doing what? Uh-huh, mm-hmm, yep. Anyways, yeah, I feel like none of that shit is really taking, right? It just feels like going into the election that he won and claiming that he's gonna like litigate That I mean, of course naming all

women and people of color So he's just he's trying trying to swing for the fences with all the old hits, you know Oh, yeah, this one was let me see. Okay, you can say Oprah black woman Al Sharpton black man, calm black. Okay. Okay, you can say I'm say oh, yeah, I'm saying about sharp in Oprah black woman. I'll sharp in black man, Kamala black Okay, okay, so checks out That's what I said. I mean like when in doubt Fucking start try and smash the anti-black racism button and see what it'll do But he wore that last week. He started with Obama. Yeah started with Obama. Now we're here

Okay, and now what you got nothing. He also retweeted that thing. It was, it was a meme with he and JD Vance chasing Obama, but it was like over the, Oh yeah. The brocco chase. Yeah. Just like, uh, obviously racist, like the racism there, uh, putting Obama in the OJ position

But some people were like is he mad at JD Vance because he did use the JD Vance You know plump face flush cheeks fuzzy beard flowing wavy hair meme version of JD Vance Who is the kid in? Willy Wonka who turned it, became a blueberry. Augustus loop. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, he was like on his way to gloopifying himself.

He glooped JD Vance. I mean him. Yeah. Which I don't, I don't know. Like, you know, he didn't, he didn't hand make the meme. No, but some people are suggesting, and I'm sure he's not totally oblivious to this, that the donor class are like not happy with how he has handled this and are like, we're ready to just bring JD Banton.

And so he's gonna- Which makes me wonder about this donor class and maybe we should be looking at them a little bit more if they have the power to get Trump out. Huh? Yeah. Huh? Maybe. What are they not happy with? The consolidation of their wealth at the highest levels?

He also said that he's allowed to pardon Gillian Maxwell. Yeah. Okay. Like a sixth grader whose parents let him swear. I'm allowed to do it. I'm allowed to, especially with my mom's home. It's fine, she knows. So even if you want to call me, she's gonna be like,

it's okay. She's pretty motherfucking neat, I'd say. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's still continues because even he's in Scotland cheating at golf. There people were like uploading footage of how it was like Caddy, I think it was like moving the ball or some shit to be like, no, you fucking crushed it, sir. Yeah.

And it's still not going away. He like at a press conference said, I never had the privilege of going to Jeffrey's Island Other people did oh the privilege. Yeah, maybe he's being sarcastic, but we're weird time to choose sarcasm Yeah, I mean the other thing that people are saying too is just like if it's a cover-up you guys are fucking this up so bad Because rule one of the cover-up is like don't give it any air ever But it's like right there constantly like it, it's, there's nothing to, there's either nothing to see here or it's a hoax or we got to arrest Beyonce. And the more they flail, they don't understand.

Like you just look worse and worse and worse. And people keep bringing up that Nixon Watergate quote. It was like, I gave them the sword basically, I think is what he said. And they, they stabbed me with it What the fuck man? Yeah We'll see this one continues to happen. I just feel like he doesn't have it in him to be Quiet about a thing that somebody if somebody's saying something bad about him

He does not have the ability to just leave it, you know, yeah. yeah, yeah. He's just full, all gas, no breaks. That's the thing with bullies, man. They're so thin skinned. I mean, that's like the one thing where we're getting bailed out by the fact that this like fascist speed run is being done by the dumbest people. Yeah.

Who are just like, do you have to cover up? There's not a... Yeah. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman and this is Rick Jervis.

We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part, our roommate, Reggie Payne from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode.

So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A foot washed up, a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change.

And you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Authram, the Houston lab that takes on the most hopeless cases, to finally solve the unsolvable.

Listen to America's Crime Lab on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps,

are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you.

And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to Shock Incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sometimes it's hard to remember, but. Going through something like that is a traumatic experience, but it's also not the end of their life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it, that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. And I'm your host and co-president of this organization, Dr. Lea Traetate. On my new podcast, The Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back

healing and reveal what it actually looks like, and sounds like, in real time. Each week I sit down with people who live through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of Black girls, mothering as resistance, and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to The Unwanted Sorority, new episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple

podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And Trump did have kind of a great moment of lying, just showing his how he lies, how he gets it done. So lazy. So the one thing that people are like, this is working, like keep doing this, is he's trying to get Jerome Powell to cut the interest rates. So that he gets like a cheap infusion of cash into the US economy.

Exactly and maybe the line will go up a little bit because money is flowing a little bit freely even though we're in real bad times economically in this country. But yeah, you can tell what he's worried about because of the lies he's telling, which are among the EPS, like we talked about the Epstein thing already, but like also, you know, the big one last week being like gases at one 99. Everything's so cheap. We literally can't find a single place where that is the case. Yeah.

Like we'd have to go back 15 years to find those price anyway. So he's trying to get Fed Chairman Jerome Powell out because by any means necessary. And but the thing is he can't fire like this position. You can't just fire just for nothing as the president. Like the only way he can do that is for cause. So like fraud or negligence. So that's what makes his clip interesting because at this walkthrough of the federal building that was undergoing renovations, Trump was going over like this list of renovations, renovations. I'm saying like, this is like Jeremy Renner's new

renovation show on HGTV. It's just all, can you imagine what those houses fucking look like? This is where I need Jamie to help me ideate what renovations looks like. But anyway, they're looking at a bunch of renovations out here at the Fed building. And he tried to inflate the cost as sort of a way

to try and paint Jerome Powell's leadership as being like negligent or out of control spending And he did this and you'll this becomes clear in the clip by like adding the cost of a renovation that was completed Five years ago to the ones they were just inspecting today, right? And in the clip he like mentioned this number Jerome Powell immediately. He's like, what the fuck? What? Huh? Yeah. And he did not fucking let this shit slide. And it's just a great moment because Jerome Powell just is not having it at all. And it's the numbers it turns out.

And it shows you anytime Trump gets checked, like if you really with your chest, I like, no, bro, that's fucking bullshit. He just is like, well, then I don't know either. Like he'll never be like, no, what are you talking about fam? He's Trump will immediately just concede and like, wow, I didn't just start mumbling off. So here's Trump trying to get one by on the nation's like number one accountant basically, but go ahead. So we're taking a look and it looks like it's about three point one billion.

We went up a little bit. He's shaking his head. Shook his head now. Closing his eyes, shaking his head. He looked at him and said, the fuck? Yeah, it just came out. The new numbers just came out. I haven't heard that from anybody.

Just came out. Check that out. Just standing in a construction site with the construction How it immediately gets his readers out puts them on put those readers? Yes 3.1. I don't know who does that? I don't know who does Are you including the Martin renovation? You just said you just added in the third buildings with it So he's like you just added in the Morton building because it says it and he points at the thing drum I was like the fuck you talking about bro. This is this is that's a build you'll hear him now

He's gonna be like that was done years ago It's not new Ren It's not new. I know he can be like, well, it's probably his. It is a renovation that has historically been done. No. Like the way he was just like, no, no, no. The fuck out of here. Yeah. If he was from New York, he'd have been like, no, fuck out of here.

What are you fucking saying right now? I just love to see just that. I don't know why he, this guy is, his whole fucking life is number crunching. Yeah. And do you think your little trick to just like flip, like add a thing from five years ago, he's going to be like, oh yeah, that's how much it's costing. Right. Fucking nice try, dude. Amazing. All right. And finally, some non Trump news.

I don't know what the fuck is going on in the world of Nintendo today. But so they released a digital calendar, their drop for the day of July 23rd. This is the Nintendo Today digital calendar app for those who don't have it downloaded like Jack does. Right. And I'm checking every day. I'm just on the edge of my seat being like, what are they going to tell me today? They dropped this little nugget.

Princess Peach and Mario are good friends and help each other out whenever they can. Princess Peach and Mario are good friends? Hold wait, the fuck? People reacted to this. So people were really taken aback by this. People like my entire sexuality is based on the tension between Mario and Princess Peach. Like, I, when I saw the reaction to this, I assumed that they had said are just good friends and just help each other

out. You know, like if you added just in there a couple places, right. It, yeah. Then that would be like, Oh shit. All right. They really came out and said this, but this could be like two annoying married people saying their partner's their best friend. That's true. That's true. They're, they're right. It was was saying they're good friends. Just good friends Then I need to know the overall tone of these Nintendo today app updates Yeah to understand like are they always dropping like bombs and then they put this one out there and everyone's like whoa Yeah, it sounds like early like when families had like you know Like a gay family member who like they had their roommate who was really their partner and they're like

They're good friends who help each other out whenever they can. Right. And you're like, nah, hold on. Like they're together, but because this family can't handle homosexuality, they'll just insist that they're good friends and just help each other out whenever. So Brian, the editor asks the key question. Canonically, when have they ever been romantically linked? They have a long history of like little kisses on the nose and on the cheek.

Their friend's own kisses may be, oh, these kisses look so different now. Yes. I'm having a Kaiser Soze moment. Yes, it's all coming back. Nintendo did dub them cutest couple in Mario Party. A lot of cakes. They celebrate Valentine's Day with the duo on Twitter. But I don't know, there's also the ending of Super Mario Odyssey,

where Mario proposes marriage and she leaves, leaves him in space, leaves him on the moon is like, nope. I'm just thinking of this now. Like I said, like all those little kisses were just like, yeah, thanks for helping me, bro. I'll see you next time. Right. And he's like, Oh, peach.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like, there's definitely, there's always been some sense that she's using him a little bit or could be using him. It's gonna be like the red pill in self podcast. Hey, this is how he turns me. you know, she's using him, right? It's all transactional. It's left out there as an option.

I think intentionally that like maybe they're like, this feels like people getting pissed when Ross and Rachel are on a break and friends, which probably happened, you know, where like people are just getting in their feelings over something that is consistently made to be ambiguous and a mystery for narrative purposes, for the purposes of telling a story. Yeah. I just feel like in Japan, I don't know, my idea of them was they were kind of romantic. In Japan, they're I don't know, my my idea of them was they were kind of romantic. In Japan, they're fucking. Yeah, I mean, that is one of the things that people people are like,

this is America putting their censorship over this relationship, because Japanese sources state that Mario loves Peach. But again, Mario loves Peach. Yeah. Yeah. I just love how the fucking uproar like they're fucking friends like I mean yeah objectively they're friends it looks like. Now through your parasocial relationship with these video game characters have you created another thing that's upending your entire worldview? I feel bad. Now I'm just now I'm fully red pilled with this. My parents called my wife my friend until the day after we were married. No they didn't. Yeah they were like not even on our wedding day. They were like

let's get through the wedding night first and then we'll see. Let's see Jack. I'll see you Sunday morning. I'll see you Sunday morning. Very American you know. Yeah. Some people are suggesting Nintendo may be following other video game companies, uh, in attempting to downplay any sexual content because like steam and each EO both announced that they were clamping down on games with sexual content in order to appease like credit card companies, it's.io. Okay. Interesting.

I like that. I mean, Nintendo games are not that like, they're the last thing I'd be like, yeah, thank God Nintendo played that down. Cause you know how fucking horny these games are on its face. Yeah, when the horny police comes for Nintendo video games and Mario and Peach's relationship, that's like we're well past the point of the Handmaid's Tale. You know, a little risque. She holds too much power in this relationship. I feel like all the time, like whenever I talk to people, they're like, you talk about the news all the time. Do you like, do you ever, do you know, like, are you going to

leave the country? Do you ever think about that or whatever? And I mean, right now I'm too rooted here and invested in hoping this place can be a better place than to like leave. But I think I'll start saying the moment the government comes to police Mario and Princess Peach's relationship, that's the signal to head for the exits. Right. Yes. And maybe that's too late. Maybe that's waiting a little too late. You're like, oh, it's time. Okay. It wasn't when they were disappearing US citizens already.

Finally, they came for Mario and Princess Peach and it was too late. It was too late. Because I had already jacked off a thousand times to them to online fan fiction of the, so that is- Good thing I have it tatted. That will, they won't, they is one of the more powerful forces in pop culture like in mainstream pop culture. The AV club wrote about this story. And they said, they said we did in

our capacity as journalists, run a quick tag search on internet fan fiction archive, a three, kind of the checking the dipstick of gauging internet horniness for character pairings, uh, this evening. And we'll note that Mario and peach massively outranks any other duo we could think of. Wow. And some we wish we hadn't shout out to the 129 Luigi Mario fix, uh, in the pile. Okay.

It's out here. They, I feel like Nintendo knows what they're doing. Uh, I feel like princess peach knows what she's doing. Okay. It's out here. I feel like Nintendo knows what they're doing. I feel like Princess Peach knows what she's doing. Yeah. I'm so red-pilled right now about this. As in more fucking females want bro. Mario is a fucking he's got a trade. He works a fucking trade dude. That's consistent fucking employment bro. That's a fucking trade dude on the fucking work. That's kind of that's consistent fucking employment, bro That's a fucking be a union job in some instances dog. All right, and she's still fucking friends owning him, bro. Nah, bro Yeah, dog. Nah, this is why he should just be with Yoshi, right? That's the pivot for this. Yeah. Now I ship Mario and Yoshi. That's Mario and Yoshi would be hot actually

Okay, Yoshi definitely has a brand the editor be hot actually. Okay. Yoshi definitely has a Brand the editor was pointing out. Yoshi definitely has like throat goat potential. He will eat a whole fucking cactus, bro.
