One of your favorite guests, a writer, actor, one of the funniest stand-up comedians doing it. She has one of the best comedy specials of the year called Bitch Grow Up that you can go and watch on Max. You must go and watch on Max. You will go and watch on Max.

It is the hilarious, the talented, Marcel Arguello! Marcel Arguello! Marcel Arguello, rap name, queef Latina, cooking rhymes, and like Osina, and they call me like Ochina because I'm a dirty little nina.

They joke that I'm a dude just because I am the tallest, but my name is Marcella, not Marcellus Wallace. Wow! Ain't got a dick, but I still come quick whether I swallow or I spit. My technique is

legit. Okay. Wow. I got goosebumps from that one. I mean, you have a handheld mic. You can go ahead and drop that thing real quick. Yeah. Not quite this

high. The last table table probably not let me do ASMR with my sequins fringe that jacket is killing I see you wear that online and I'm like yo that jacket is doing shit

now I am rubbing my handheld mic on the fringe. How much was that jacket? You're definitely rubbing something after hearing that one. Am I right? Yeah. Hey, let them know.

How much was that jacket? I am a big ASMR jerker, you know? Not much. It's fast fashion. It wasn't. Yeah, well, it looked good. You're making it look slow. I was intended to wear to see Beyonce at the Renaissance Tour.

Yeah. It's a sequins fringe jacket, cowgirl style. But my foot injury prevented me from attending that concert. Okay. Well, you might catch her. There's that rumor that she might do a Vegas residency now. I would love that. I'm praying for that.

I'm waiting for her and Brittany and Janet to do Vegas. Oh, my God. The three horsemen? Yeah. Oof. Three horsewomen? Horsewomen? Horsepeople. Yeah. Three horse women. Horse women. Horse people.

Yeah. Get down. Is that, that would be unprecedented level of like someone at their peak doing a Vegas residency, right? Like we've never seen anything like that. People with small children do a lot of Vegas residencies.

So I'm hoping that Beyonce really was like, you know, and after this tour, I think I should do a Vegas. Also the check alone. I mean, like if you're just thinking, I'm like, yo, watch this. I do a fucking like three month, four month run.

That's it. But yeah, they have so much money. At a certain point, I'm like, why do y'all keep work? Like in my mind, I'm like, why do you keep work? It is true. Like people love to do the thing that they love. Right. You know, so that's I mean, that's part of it.

But like, yeah, I mean, I just think of it but like yeah i mean i i just think of it as like a cool way to like work and also like let your children be in one spot for a long time yeah oh shit it's at the sphere bro a residency at the fucking sphere wow potentially that's beyonce i want to do a residency. The sphere. It would be crazy. It would be incredible. Those visuals. People are going to have full-on panic attacks.

Existential crisis in that building. Mushrooms. Acid. Just hand out mushrooms at the door. Vision. She handed out those bracelets that change color with the show. She should do that, but like with acid. Yeah.

Ten minutes after I get on stage. Exactly. And everybody open their Dasani waters and down that shit right now. What the fuck is in here? There's a little piece of paper in here. Like, don't worry about that. That's funny. All right.

Well, Marcella, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about later. Uh, we're talking about, you know, I'm sick for a couple of days and us politics went and got dumb on me. We got the Senator Mark Wayne, Mark Wayne,

Mark Wayne Mullen, continuing to talk about how he's not scared of fighting. He would have fought and he would have won. And actually what had happened is, uh is I had already challenged him before. Like just sounding like one of the extras in one of those YouTube videos where Irish guys challenge each other to bare knuckle street boxing matches. Just like, well, first you said about me that, yeah, exactly. So that's wild. George Santos, we're going to catch up with him.

He's absolutely killing it. We're going to talk about the Osama bin Laden video going viral on TikTok. We're going to talk about the war on Christmas. It's just really struggling to get off the ground this year on Fox News. All of that, plenty more. But first, Marcella, we do like like to ask our guests what is something from your search history the last thing that i googled is i'm trying to watch as many solo shows as like one man shows when women shows and i i was like googling robin williams all his solo shows and i guess they're available on youtube illegally it's awesome i love the whole thing yeah the evening at the met or night at the mat that one is definitely there i i haven't watched the other ones but i that so like i'm just immersed in solo shows because i want to work on one and i'm just like trying to see all the different styles and i'm like i i watched all these specials as a kid but i don't remember them i don't remember ever going back to watch them as an adult so i'm like oh this is interesting did you have a favorite as a kid i just remember whoopi

and robin always standing out to me yeah you know i remember like being like whoopi i was like she is very serious about some of these things and i remember robin just being like a child's dream you know right exactly he would be fun to play with yeah yeah exactly and and apparently he was i guess yeah i was i don't know if you ever seen that that the documentary that is on hbo max right now jack no what is it called it's like inside his mind or some shit it's his beautiful art but it's very cool and uh the the i think the kids talk about that like he loved you know getting dirty with the kids yeah yeah the what was the one i i remember as a kid i remember there's like that guy danny hawk who had a one-man show that i remember watching because he

did a lot of character voices and then john leguizamo's freak was another one that i yeah i just remember being like yo what the fuck yo how many fucking characters is this guy doing cool that we all grew up with that like robin whoopi and john leguizamo with these one person shows yeah just like and we just weren't we didn't even think twice about it i love that they were suitable for us to watch yeah totally i mean the leguizamo one got a little wild as a kid but you're like oh shit what the fuck you talking about how it turned into vampire bat wing okay never mind sure sure but that like it is like it's interesting because those are the kinds of things that as a kid sort of got me to believe that there is a way to be like you can just be create. You can be super creative.

And that's that's a lane. You know what I mean? Exactly. I always liked how and I think it's missing now is that people would be, you know, socially conscious, political, silly, over the top. They would have all those elements. And it feels like we're missing a lot of that in entertainment now. When people do solo shows, they're just only serious. And yes, they have jokes in there, but they don't go

above and beyond the way that people that we grew up on did. Which is why I'm trying to watch them. Because I'm like, how can I do myself? And I respect the art form. And I feel like getting back to the basics of what I grew up on is inspiring me to be like, oh yeah, i can do all those things right right right oh shit well that's gonna be let us know we'll be oh i'm excited i'm excited uh to to work on it it's kind

of it's kind of already fleshed out because i really what happened was i've been working on this new stand-up hour and it's basically about my family the chunk of it and a lot of this stand-up it's some of it's old and i say like i could have put it on my first my family the chunk of it and a lot of this stand-up it's some of it's old and i say like i could have put it on my first album i could have put it on the special i could have put it on the second album but i was like no i want to put all of the family stuff together like i want to respect my family in that way it's all cohesive and i started like doing it on stage i got comedy clubs and i was like i don't think this shit is working how i want it to work because there are such serious moments i'm like i don't think this shit is working how I want it to work because there are such serious moments.

I'm like, I don't think this is stand up anymore. And I like was like, yeah. And I had this epiphany and I was like, oh, yeah, I could just do a solo show. And what's cool about working with Hassan all the time is that I get to watch him work on his solo shows all the time and see how he constructs it. All the lies and everything. And and it's cool. It's inspiring to watch him. And it made me be like, I have,

I can do this, you know? Right. Yeah. Damn. I can't wait to see that. Me too. What,

what is something you think is overrated? You know, I had a hard time with, I always have a hard time with this. I think this segment is overrated. No, just kidding. I,

I think, no, I, at the sake of, of sounding really obnoxious, but organized religion, I i mean all the problems everything we're talking about everything that every topic that you get into today in the daily life guys it's like it all kind of goes back to even like someone like george santos like

not being allowed to be openly gay and then he has this lifestyle and then and now he's committed all these you know supposed crimes alleged crimes and um it's like it all boils down to okay what were his religious beliefs growing up oh he wasn't allowed to be the thing and now he's like you know getting inspired by these conservative nationalist belief system and they're like oh yeah religion oh yeah that's a problem every everybody's every everything that we talk about it's like at the end of the day is people following these like rules oh yeah we don't need to follow so divisive yeah yeah yeah i remember like having that epiphany like 19 smoking weed and shit like yo bro i think that's

the problem like and that's the other thing is that i grew up in a house where my dad because my dad was such a george carlin fan and I remember my dad would watch George Carlin, and I was like, I didn't understand. I was too young to get, you know, I was probably like eight or nine or some shit, and he was like, yeah, George Carlin, he knows what he's talking about. Yeah, organized religion. And I was like, he's crazy about my dad. And then you get a little

older, and you're like, actually, he was right the whole time. He was right the whole time. He was spitting. Okay, George. He was spitting. Does George Carlin count as like one man show? Is that? I mean, that's debatable. You know, like it started off as like a really political standup and then it kind of evolved into, I think what is now the, what's considered standup, right?

Like, and I always blame Hassan for this. Like he ruined the concept concept of like what is stand-up comedy and what is a one-man show because netflix advertised it as a stand-up comedy hour right him knowing damn well that it was a solo show but like you can't really explain that to people right um it has to be advertised as stand-up but i think george carlin definitely like in my opinion like especially those later hours because they got very luxury sure and it's like that it does tap in that those were the lines were blurred. I think he's one of the, in my opinion,

he was one of the first ones to blur some of those lines because he was so famous. Yeah. I grew up in a very strict Catholic family but we had a copy of George Carlin's book. Isn't that wonderful?

Yeah. It's like a release valve. He's like, I watched George Carlin's book. Isn't that wonderful? I'm like, watch this special and stuff. It's like a release valve. He's like, I'll watch George Carlin before worrying about hell. Because wasn't he Catholic? Maybe. I think he was raised Catholic.

And I feel like that's a big part of why people are like, well, we can listen to this. He's like us. And it's like, no, he's not. He always said the only good thing about religion was, like, the music. And that always, like, stuck out to me. I would be, like, sitting in Catholic church and being like, this music is, like, not that good. He must have gone to a different church than I did.

Probably. Yeah. I mean, actually, I was thinking about how, like, man, too bad somebody can't, like, just make a new religion with all the best parts of all the existing religions. Because I didn't realize that Mariah Carey's Christmas album was, like, gospel when I was a little kid. Right. Like, now, when I listen to the album, I'm like, Jesus, what a wonderful child. I'm just, like, singing these songs. And I'm just like, oh, that's gospel.

You know, like, I grew up on gospel and I didn't even realize it. You know, God bless her. But I'm just like, oh, that's gospel. I grew up on gospel and I didn't even realize it. God bless her. But I'm just like, yeah, of course, as a little child, I was like, yeah, these songs are popping. And I was religious as a little kid. I was like, yeah, Jesus. Well, he is a wonderful child. This is tight.

Such a good child. Such a good child. What child is this? Yeah. Jesus is just looking amazing wow turning heads what is something you think is underrated i guess i'm respecting other people's opinions again at the sake of sounding corny i'm just like i think i'm so overwhelmed with the news right now and like watching people that i've known for a long time and realizing that their belief system is rooted in straight up ignorance, you know, straight up superiority.

Right. You know, and people aren't just allowed to be. And, you know, that can also the thing I hate about like vague, inspirational, anything inspirational quotes is that they can be used by anyone. inspirational anything inspirational quotes is that they can be used by anyone sure that's right because even if i'm just like oh it's respecting people's opinions people be like well why don't you respect the zionist opinion it's like bitch that is just white supremacy get the fuck out of here i do not respect anybody who is into that shit so yeah i guess just you know what what are we doing guys that's what i'm asking that's what's that's my underwriter over what did you ask me what are we doing what are we doing what are we doing i know it feels like the fucking twilight zone you're like are y'all really advocating for ethnic cleansing so casually yes they are and you're like god damn i don't know and that's the thing i'm really

there are people who like i'm really curious if this, you know, right now there's a lot of focus on like the hostage. Like, when will they when will they free the hostages? Sure. And and seeing how that plays out. What happens after that is achieved? Like what is the goalpost after that, if it happens? Because I just feel like there's there's clearly like you see people, like, there is that Israel solidarity rally. And that was really just a rally to maintain the status quo. You know what I mean? Just like, we need to put visual pressure on this administration to not dare call for a ceasefire. Because even when Van Jones' whack ass was up there, like, he tried to say something about peace.

Like, people were starting to chant, like, no ceasefire and shit. people were starting to chant like no ceasefire and shit i'm just like what is where i know what y'all not saying but i'm curious what the rhetoric will be once we get past this point in time when and and tens of thousands of people are left dead it's just uh yeah it's mind-blowing like we've been every week i feel like we're always saying some version of like i can't honestly like i don't know where the fuck i'm at like what, what are we doing, y'all? What are we doing? And the people who are like out there, like, you know, blocking the roads to Raytheon and shit. Like, bless y'all.

You know what I mean? Like that's. Yeah, this morning the Bay Bridge is closed off. And that's. Should I not say this morning? Does that matter? Doesn't matter. No, it's okay.

Yeah. God bless those people. Yeah. Everybody. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and get people. Yeah. Everybody. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and get into the news. We'll be right back.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball

just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really 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 on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas

be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast

Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. We're back. Jack. I thought i had waited this one out man i thought i was just sitting in my sickbed just waiting waiting for this one to blow over and he's still with us senator mark wayne he senator tiny man is just letting you know like the last few days like you said you checked out, right? And we've been checking in on Senator Mark Wayne Mullen as he continues to scream about. He's like, I ain't scared of fighting, even if it's in the Senate chambers, bro.

It's how fucking brolic I am. And if you missed it, I'll play this moment again where he pretended like he was some kind of tough guy as he brought a personal beef with the teamsters boss sean o'brien to his workplace and then forced bernie sanders to be like judge mills lane and breaking up a fucking fight you want to run your mouth we can be two consenting adults we can finish it here okay that's fine perfect you want to do it now i'd love to do it right now we'll stand your butt up then you stand your butt up oh hold on oh stop it we were like yo what the fuck i love sean o'brien's like you're a clown clown look at you like totally was just like yeah go ahead fool make a fucking ass of yourself right now mission accomplished and since then this dude has been going everywhere to try and be like yo bro like i'm with the shits like it doesn't fucking matter i would have fucked him up you know it doesn't

like that's just who i am these are oklahoma values and the internet laughed at him so he went even harder he went on hannity and we covered that and he was like dude i was so ready to fight that one guy dude you don't even fucking know dog and again we laughed and then the next day mullen popped up on cnn to continue the fucking cringe world tour and further explain how badass he is while talking to dana bash this one's another fucking wild one i noticed that when you were getting up in an escalator you're playing with it right now you you reach for your wedding ring what was that about well i wasn't mad first of all so when you get mad up in an escalator, you're playing with it right now, you reach for your wedding ring. What was that about? Well, I wasn't mad, first of all.

So when you get mad, you get angry, you lose your mind. First thing I thought of when I stood up, I thought, I'm going to break my hand on this guy's face. I'm going to take my wedding ring off. Because when you're fighting, you learn how to punch correctly. You really shouldn't break your hand, but when you aren't doing it with wraps... So you actually thought you were going to come to blows in that moment?

I had full intentions of doing that. Absolutely. Let me play for you something that you're, I love it. There's just a pause there. She was like, Oh, for real motherfucker. I also wait.

Can we also go back to that original? The first clip Bernie Sanders is not for the people like he claims to be because first of all, he, he won't call a ceasefire. And second of all, he won't let these motherfuckers throw down. People want to see it.

Now people want to see it, Bernie. Right, right, right. Let them roll each other up. Go ahead. That seems like your stance right now. That's where we're at. We all know that's where American politics is at. Let's just start it. Let's just start the WWE transition. It's fucking wild, man. The way he was

also talking, how he's like, well, you know, like when you like learn out, like when you're fighting and like, you know how to actually fight, like you learn how to actually punch the right way. Like, unless you're like, he gets overly technical in this way. Like he sounded like a virgin hand wraps on. Yeah. He sounded like a virgin, like lying to his homies about how like, you know, I get like bone deep, bro.

Like every night dog so like when you're doing it when you do the smash like me that's just how that that goes but bro he looks like an absolute clown right now yeah and it's just it's it's hilarious and disheartening all at the same time but there's the thing in sports when like a player it gets into a fight with somebody and they get really tough the second, like, the entire team is between them and the person that they're trying to fight. Like, I'm just trying to figure out

where on the scale of, like, fake tough guy does doing that with the entire, like, U.S. Senate apparatus, like a scrum of reporters. Like, he stood up, like, the guy wasn't 12 feet away from him yeah like the that he was just like right next to him that they were at a table right across from one another well can i can i also say i was gonna be like who this is so fucking childish i can't

believe they're doing this and then i remembered there was uh one of my openers within the last year she just was so one of the most disrespectful openers i've ever had when i was headlining and you know i try to like you know talk to her about it like hey you can't be that like you know that's that's not cool whatever because i'm a fucking professional and i also know how to be an opener so i'm just like also kind of looking out for her because i know her right and then um she started running her mouth on Twitter, started pulling Twitter fingers and was like,

I worked with a mean headliner recently, and I was going to bring my, my sisters were ready to come down to the club. And I saw that and I was like, bitch, I wish you fucking would have brought your sisters. I would love to see that shit. And then it was funny because, like, months later, I actually saw her, like, at the comedy store in the hallway, and I went right up to her. Like, I got was funny because like months later i actually saw her

like at the comedy store in the hallway and i went right up to her like i got in her face like hey girl how are you i'm like i saw your shit because i'm not i mean whatever i'm not trying to actually throw yeah yeah yeah for sure but i will if i have to i've been known to do it and um it would just crack me up because i literally walked right up to her got in her face said hey girl how are you And she made it was like, oh, hey, I got to go. And she ran away and I was like, yeah, that's why I saw this.

People love having Twitter fingers. I'll tell you what. They sure do. And they don't know what's coming. They love having Bernie Sanders hold them back from a fight. Like, what are you guys doing? Bernie, hold me back. Yo, you know what?

I'm sorry. There's actually even more to this story. Oh God, here we go.

I know how to actually throw a punch the right way. That way I will not break my hand fighting. Because a lot of people do that. When they fight, they actually break their hands.

I'm like, did you just read a fucking Quora article on how to fucking throw a punch or something? It also sounds like he's like punched a wall and then blamed it on his wedding ring when it hurt his hand. I bet he also thinks he's good at sex. There's no way. No way. Mark Wayne fucks.

Yeah. And they put the fence back and they start barking at each other again. That's what he was doing. Exactly.

He's like, oh, man, get that fence in between us again. I'll let you know what time it is. I'll fucking bite you right through this fence, bro. Bite your fucking dick, dog.

Constantly. I used to get it. Yeah. I used to get it. Beating up your children does not count. Wow. Violating. Violating. Violating.

The fans are going to hate that one. I used to get beat up a lot. Oh, what a surprise. Because you weren't there Marcella to protect him. That's true. I would have protected you, Jack. Hey, if we have beef, can we just, can we sick you on some people? Hell yeah. Okay, cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Not cool cool cool cool noted noted i'm gonna be like yo my because my homegirl

Yes. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

Yeah. That will happen until somebody's like, we're your brothers now. Like someone who had like a 30 year beef with you. Drowning me in the toilet. Fuck, where are they? They're not picking up like always. What is this, Christmas? All right. To the house. Tomas uh all right to the house santos to the house to the house to the house senate to the house so the house ethics committee just released their findings

into the details of the kinds of fraud and fakery that representative george santos has been getting into and i'm kind of impressed yeah like my man was living it up yeah this campaign cash i mean i'd be impressed if it was like 10 years like you know yeah yeah yeah what's his name on the on the on the fucking supreme court that's impressive i was gonna say senator bob menendez too he's just getting straight up gold bars and shit from people but i'm saying like that's impressive what has been going on for years i'm actually not impressed. Yeah, he was so bad at getting away with it.

So a three-year scam? That's minor leagues for you? Yeah. Okay. That's nothing. Well, let's break it down. I mean, that's amateur hour, right? You're supposed to get another... You gotta get elected a couple more times before people are like, wait a minute. That's like being a musician. You're like, well, I had that one single

that was popping. You're like, what about the album? They're like, nobody was fucking with it. Was there a musician. You're like, well, I had that one single that was popping. You're like, what about the album? They're like, nobody was fucking with it. Was there a second one? It's a one election wonder. Nope. Yeah. So we found out that, first of all, he had to keep his skin tight, literally.

Because in 2020, he started using the campaign cash for Botox, totaling around 4K that year. This interesting detail. One of the sessions took place at Mirza Aesthetics a Manhattan med spa run by a doctor whose license was suspended two years ago over breast and penile enhancements gone wrong

so maybe he got the straight up horror movie exploding dicks yeah he got the Groupon, maybe Botox maybe that's what happened then he formed a company called Redstone Strateg LLC. And I think we'd heard about this, but we didn't know how he was like fucking around with it. It was a political consulting firm. And he went on and told all these people around him, he's like, they're the best at what they do. Like all the MAGA people at Mar-a-Lago fuck with this firm, like they're fantastic. Acting like he was was the satisfied customer when it was his own fucking company. And when he would set them up with meetings, acting like he didn't know the people that they were meeting with, he's like, oh yeah, yeah, do your thing. They got $110,000 contract

from someone who was running for office. Santos took off with 50K. And what'd he do with that cash? Okay. Among other things, they said he paid down personal credit card bills, other debt, made a $4,100 purchase at Hermes. Okay. And for smaller purchases at OnlyFans and Sephora. Wow. He was getting a pop in in every single way. You know, and I honestly, I can't. I could blow 50K pretty quickly on Sephora and small purchases.

OnlyFans. Yeah, and OnlyFans. Could you imagine? Was he just going, everything. Like custom videos, custom videos. I'm subscribed to 9,000 accounts. Everything. Wait, so you're not allowed to create a company and then pretend you're the customer?

Jack! Are you serious right now, Jack? Come on. Come on, be serious, Jack. I got to send some emails real quick. I completely fucked that up. Oh, boy. Then, like, it goes on to say he was doing lavish travel, Vegas, the Hamptons, Atlantic City.

He was just balling. But, yeah. I'm just trying to figure out if he had a bad, like, someone on his team that was advising him terribly. Or if he, like, has a bad accountant. Or if he's that stupid but he's been but i mean think about it like he was doing bad checks in brazil and he like like he tried to run from those charges and i'm just like looking at his thing i feel like it's like anything right like we were just talking about getting inspired by watching like like these one

person shows like comedy wise and you're like oh i like that maybe i could do that and you move in that direction i think if you're like a scammer you probably just see what's going on you're like oh i could do that like let me move closer to this i can do that oh they're they're doing it like that right i don't know how to get that and you have someone being like let me get 4k and botox we're going to hermes we're going to sephora get the of pop in it is and this is where he is i don't know what to say no words it's part and parcel of our you know i think it's like that's why we say most most people are not attracted to congress because of like doing something for their constituents or like bro if i'm in there so many doors open up to start making money in weird fucking ways or just straight up scamming people that you know the allure is a little bit different for some people

how much botox is four thousand dollars worth of botox performed by somebody who is who lost their license that's a good question over exploding dicks and penises that's actually very interesting i didn't think about that yeah probably more than normal he probably got like 10 000 worth yeah he's like 60 off if you ignore my reviews yeah right yes and uh could really use some good yelp reviews yeah right if you just say if you say your dick implant didn't blow up just please i'll give you four thousand dollars worth of botox man no questions asked all right let's talk about the osama bin laden letter wait but can we also just say that he can't he can't run again like they're yeah he's not running he recently announced right that he's not running yeah yeah yeah he was recently forced to announce that he's not running

yeah like after this like dragged to yes up to the line of not running. So that is a good... I just want to end on that because it is good that we will not be having to deal with him in control of anything. Yeah, it's just so wild how the Republicans can get their shit together to try and oust one of their people

when they want to. You know what I mean? Well, I don't think... I mean, come on. They're homophobic as fuck. Yeah, yeah. But I'm saying when they want to. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

When they want to, they're like, oh yeah, watch this. This other guy who was trafficking minors, allegedly. No, we'll let him cook. We'll let him cook. Yeah. All right.

Over on TikTok, the latest viral star, according to a lot of headlines, is Osama bin Laden. Who's this at Osama on TikTok? Wow. OBL. Latest TikTok star, Matt Rife, who's this at osama on tiktok wow obl latest tiktok star matt rife osama bin laden that's right but yeah people have been sharing the letter that bin laden wrote one year after 9 11 spelling out his motives for the attack which includes the u.s backing of israel and devastating sanctions in Iraq. And so it started with a TikTok user, Lynette Adkins,

who was like, my eyes have been opened. I feel like I'm going through an existential crisis. Aw, first time? Yeah. New here? You new around here? But the letter, like, just to be clear, the letter, which again was written by Osama bin Laden, Like, just to be clear, the letter, which, again, was written by Osama bin Laden, contains like some wild anti-Semitic rants about how the, quote, Jews have, quote, taking control of the U.S. economy. A full paragraph. Like the thing that he really seems to take issue with is Bill Clinton's blowjob.

That's he's like, that's the thing that's going to go down in history. He's also anti-sex work, which is obnoxious. Yeah. Yeah. It's not the coolest guy. Yeah. I think that's verified for most people. I'm sure he probably was going hard on the Clintons, too, because they were the ones who were just letting all those Iraqi children die. You know what I mean?

So he probably like, yo, and on top of that. Right. This man got his dick sucked and y'all didn't do shit like okay okay but yeah there's a lot of he's right at one point he calls aids a satanic american invention so it's i don't know bob marley tip i feel you dog it's about it's a babylon thing but the Guardian, who had previously published the letter in full, took the highly unusual step of removing it from their website. And I don't know. Some of the reporting has made it seem like young people are reading the letter and instantly becoming radicalized.

But I don't know. It seems like it's probably more likely that they... I don't think they just suddenly love Osama bin Laden and are like super happy that 9-11 happened. But the letter offers a perspective that is contradictory to like what was taught in the aftermath of 9-11. But yeah, there does seem to be a lot of anti-Semitism like happening all over the place now. anti-semitism like happening all over the place now like yeah obviously in this letter elon musk is responding to someone saying that jewish people have been pushing hatred against whites by saying you have said the truth like just openly like just textbook white power brand anti-semitism and he's like yeah i endorse this as the truth. Like, so again, like anti-Semitism is real. Like anyone who's existed on the internet for any period of time knows that like it's real. It pops up when you least expect it. Like it's fucking terrifying. Like I totally am worried about anti-Semitism.

anti-semitism it's just it makes the whole conversation incredibly difficult to have when people are conflating anti-semitism with calling for a ceasefire yeah sure or protection of innocent lives or just conflating like just people like look like no i don't i think a lot of the things that i saw on tiktok where people were like oh my god it wasn't like osama bin laden is fucking bay like yeah they're more it's like when the first time i wrote a people's read the people's history where people were like, oh my God, it wasn't like Osama bin Laden is fucking bae. It's like when the first time I read the people's history of the United States, and I was like, what in the fuck is all this shit? You know what I mean? Like, I didn't know all this.

They didn't fucking tell me this in seventh grade. They didn't tell me this in AP US history. And I thought I was a fucking, I thought I knew fucking everything. And I think that they're having that similar moment because I think for us, we saw 9-11 in real time. We saw the Islamophobia in real time. We saw the manufacturing of consent in real time. We saw the destruction of the Middle East in real time. And so for some for older people who had their eye on it, they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, this is how American hegemony works. And I think for a lot of younger people, this is something that they're reading and it's just kind of complete.

Like you said, it's fucking with their whole worldview that they probably had when everyone was like, rah, rah. They hate our freedom fries. They want, you know, support the troops. Oh, you don't support the troops. So you're pro terror. You know, they were saying there was all kinds of shit like that back then if you didn't support the fucking troops. So, yeah, I it's but you do see so many takes now who are like, you see what's happening with TikTok? It's fucking radicalizing these kids and TikTok on Monday. They put out a press release. They're like, just so you know, demographically, younger people have been support having more sympathy towards Palestine. It's been increasing since like we've measured it with like in like in like with gallup polls and polling since like millennials and they're like it's not like and they're like they're like and if people are like well how come this hashtag has been viewed so many more times how come hashtag free palestine has been viewed so many more times they're prioritizing it they're like that hashtag has existed for years where stand hashtag stand with

israel is not even two months old so they're like why like and i get to there's algorithms that are floating it and they said our algorithms are just meant to do a thing positive reinforcement if you're engaging with a certain thing we're going to keep giving you more of a certain thing so it's just a lot going on and i've seen so many conservative and like establishment democrats sort of like take this thing and have a really bad faith interpretation of what's happening and being like all these kids are al-qaeda now right and you know the other thing is too with with a lot of these um younger people is this is their first in in terms of this literal letter this is our first taste of like watching the actions of the

establishment come down swiftly because the guardian taking it down was proof right that they didn't want them the establishment the media doesn't want them reading this which again goes back to both of your points where it's like it's not like these people are like oh my god i want to suck a summer's dick now and and i i haven't seen people be like, I'm suddenly anti-Jewish. It's more just like, oh, shit. World history is a thing I should probably know a little more about. And that's what I'm hoping is the broader interpretation, because I've definitely been in conversations with just because I'm Salvadorian. I've had people and it's usually older white men that are like, oh, know el salvador's history and i'm just like yeah motherfucker i do like there's

that's the reason i'm here and i very much know about it and i'm pretty well versed in it but it just it's so common for quote-unquote younger people to be looked at as like they we don't we don't know anything about the world and that's been mostly true right and but this is proving that actually these young people give a fuck and want to talk about it and they don't want to just adapt the beliefs of their parents and and also they don't want to adapt the lifestyle of just letting shit be as it is you know yeah right yeah that's what's interesting to me but maybe read the people's history of the united states instead of the osama i mean you can read Dio Sommato in Latin letters.

Maybe that's not the thing you shared. This is the opening. This is the introduction. Just like with comedy, right? You fucking, you like fucking Dane Cook when you're a teenager like I did. I loved Dane Cook when I was a teenager. And then you're like, this material fucking blows ass. And then you fucking find Patrice

O'Neill or whoever the fuck and you know nowadays it's you know matt rife not the best comedian but he is an open opening for ralph barbosa is an opening for these young people to watch something that has been established that's that's even greater than not to even shit on either of those dudes at all they're just young literally what both 27 years old right like their comedy is great for a 27 year old you know oh yeah and i think the comedy i got when i was younger was way more terrible because it was really just like the most narrow-minded it was just racist or yeah and we were like yeah that's fine um i mean i remember loving sarah silverman when i was a teenager and And it's like, this bitch did blackface. And I was like, yeah, yeah.

That's my favorite bit. You know what I mean? Like, you consume what's in front of you. But if you have access to more, then you should fucking be consuming the shit that is more interesting to you. And I think that's what this is, where it's like Osama bin Laden is the Dane Cook of world history information. Dane Cook of world history information. You know, we got to get to the Bill Burr books and the Patrice O'Neill books and whatever the George Carlin's the better shit.

Yeah. We'll see. Yeah. Hopefully they can suddenly like, yeah, in two weeks time, like people were like, Oh,

whoa, whoa, whoa. They went too far with the bin Laden letter. But I think like to your point, Jack, I'm hoping because to me it's just, it,

it looks like I remember when I was so curious about the world. I tried to look for anything that was giving me some kind of answer other than the one I was getting in school. Yeah, sure. I mean, and then then from there, you have to begin parsing through that information and understand, OK, well, what's this person's perspective there? And what is is there is there something that seems more objective, whatever? Is there and what is is there is there something that seems more objective, whatever? But yeah, like the whole thing where like that, because I think this is also being used to to paint people who are supporting the Palestinian people to be like hateful, anti-Semitic. Sure. And that's what I always see. Like, I see so many people and I'm like, look what's happening to the left.

Look what's happening to the left. Look what like it's just it feels very calculated or just misinformed or whatever but i i see how this kind of bad faith perspective on this feeds into ultimately how they want to kind of cast dispersions on people who are calling for peace right yeah all right uh let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history.

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? 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.

The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. Were you waiting for me to do it? You were, huh? Kind of. I don't know. Sometimes you like to do it. No, I was like, what's taking so long? I was like, oh, he wants me to do it. And we're back. Hey, guys.

I'm Jack O'Brien. I'm a piece of shit. Miles, back to you. Why does he sound like a Dutch DJ? That's how I see Jack, okay? Here I am, Jack O'Brien, coming here. It's me. Jack O'Brien. Coming here. Jack O'Brien. I like the music and the politics.

And my children are the best. Number one kids. Shout out the families. What is that from? David Gedda. Dude, after fucking the George Floyd shit. He was on a rooftop. Remember he was doing a drop on that Martin Luther King speech and he's like, shout out to the families.

And we're like, bro. Shout out to all the families. The David Guetta of podcasting. Yeah, you are. That's a check though. Let's talk about some more religious persecution that we're seeing.

And I'm, of course, talking about the war on Christmas. Come on, guys. It's don't pretend like it's not happening. Fuck Christmas. Usually we're hearing quite a bit about the war on Christmas by now. But Fox News still, they're struggling to get it off the ground this year. Yeah.

It ain't hitting like it used to. Yeah. Jesse Waters did a whole segment about... I love when Jack is funny. That's my favorite. Because it folds you in half.

You literally, your whole posture just changes. People can't see. You fold it in half. I never see it coming. I love to listen. I can hear it. There it is. Boom. Wow. Okay. I love to listen. I can hear it.

There it is. Boom. Wow. Okay, let me get back. So he talked about, first of all, his opener was pretty good. He said, talk about someone being funny. He said that the war on Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year, probably because of climate change, which doesn't even really make sense. It makes sense to me, bro. Come on, use your brain. Use your third eye. Yeah. What's wrong with you? You don't see it? Climate change, which doesn't even really make sense.

Come on, use your brain. Use your third eye. Yeah. It makes sense in like a more of a, you know, poetic license way. Yeah. He then talked about how two local news stories are proof that they're coming for Christmas. There's a Georgia company that had swapped Christmas Eve for Juneteenth, which is two months old, and it merely involves a Georgia healthcare company making Juneteenth a paid holiday instead of

Christmas Eve. That's not that cool. Which one y'all want? Because you're getting one. It's like, all right, we'll do Juneteenth. All right. Bless y'all. It's definitely not the fault of the company who's not willing to give their employees an extra day off and instead are specifically politicizing the issue on purpose. It must be that liberalism is out of control because, as we know, you know, progressives hate workers getting time off. Right. And then there is a story of a woke Wisconsin city council, which is banning employees from putting up Christmas decorations during during the holidays suggesting they use more neutral and inclusive decorations suggesting suggesting and then a few days later they were like we specifically said this was merely a suggestion not a policy no one's actually barred from putting up christmas decorations and you know

of course no no correction no no anything it's just they're coming they're banning christmas trees it's so it just it it doesn't i remember like even a year ago it kind of hit different like now i feel like are they just completely gassed like they're just like i don't know man fucking one christmas again they're losing a little bit yeah yeah yeah like yeah like the old material is not working anymore but you're still doing it huh i just One Christmas again. They're losing it a little bit, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're losing it a little bit. Like, yeah, like, the old material is not working anymore, but you're still doing it, huh? I just don't understand why people aren't down to celebrate all the holidays. Like, bitch, you have more gifts.

Yeah. More different snacks at work. Like, what's the problem? Right, right. I think it's, like, the same way they were getting upset about, like, the fucking, what is it? The new Target shit that they were selling. Like the new ornaments or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Well, they got gay ornaments now.

Get these gay ass ornaments out. A nutcracker wearing a rainbow hat. Oh, God. I mean. So stupid. They're trying to make the ballet inclusive. You thought he was straight? Get out of here.

Have you seen the performance? Yeah. My man is graceful. With his nuts all out. Could you imagine? Oh my god, Robin Williams in that special had this funny ass line. He goes, went to the ballet. You know, when you go to the ballet, the men's tights are so tight that you can tell what religion they are.

That's pretty good. Guys, watch Robin Williams old shit. Oh my my god there's also a black santa in a wheelchair and people were pissed off because uh what one commenter said how on earth is he supposed to go down the chimney so oh i'm right because how is a small plastic facsimile of a fictional deity going to bring you a free Nintendo Switch if it's in a wheelchair. How? How? It makes sense. This is always what happens

with inclusivity is basically they don't like when the spotlight widens to shed light on more people. It used to just be on us. It used to just be all on us. It was only white, cishet Christian people. That was the spotlight spotlight and then it got a little bit wider we had to include immigrants and black people and then then there was gay people

and then it gets wider and wider and then we're just gonna get lost in a sea of people and the spotlight won't be on us and it's like come the fuck on really just like it's really harming you to see all this shit but i'm i't expect to reason with that kind of ignorance. But you can. So transparent. I will also say I am concerned for the child that sees Santa in the wheelchair and is like, who broke Santa's legs and why? Yeah. And then they're like, Santa owes some people some money.

He owes people some milks. Yeah. He ate the wrong cookies. OK. Yeah. Wash your hands every time you eat. Like they're ate the wrong cookies, okay? Yeah. Wash your hands every time you eat. Like, they're going to turn into, you know, parents are going to turn into a lesson. Right.

Easily. Easily. Oh, you know why? It's just good parents. Because he was rubbing his eyes too much. Yeah, exactly. It turns into a fucking weird. Didn't wash his hands?

Rubbing his eyes? Yeah. It's good, and yet there's always something weird about that shit, so. Yeah. always something weird about that shit so yeah in terms of google searches the phrase war on christmas has been down pretty consistently since basically the obama administration so the peak year was in 2005 for unclear reasons maybe just i don't know they were looking for anything under the radar that they could use to fuel their religious war you know, but not make it clear that it was a religious war. So 2005.

And then during the Obama administration, the recent high point was 2013. So that was when it was working. But it does feel like it's mostly driven by Fox News. You need Fox News with a person of color in the white house and then you've got fucking gold yes that's the recipe because yeah even i remember when like when trump was in office it was just kind of like yeah yeah here we go and he would even say the thing but it it's now it's not even like an event anymore right you know it's just become commonplace it's like yep and that's what happens every December, November.

They declare war on the Nutcracker and Santa. Yeah, he was a big war on Christmas person early on. I think even before he was president. But then I wonder if it has to do with the fact that his wife is on wax being like, who gives a shit about Christmas? Fuck Christmas. Yeah. You want to see the inside of this house for the holidays it looks like a blood nightmare now enjoy merry christmas

you piece of shit i guess i just find it funny that people get mad if you because i've done it where i'm like happy holidays and somebody goes merry christmas and i'm like yeah merry christmas i also celebrate christmas i was just saying happy holidays because New Year's, Thanksgiving, it's just holidays. It's not necessarily anti-Christmas. But I do always find it funny when people want to make it a point to say Merry Christmas after you say happy holidays. Because I'm always just like, yeah, Merry Christmas, bitch. Like, I don't. Yeah, that's fine.

I don't care. I don't actually. I don't care like you care. Oh, Black Lives Matter? Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. I see you. Happy All Lives Matter, bitch. Yeah yeah i think it's like oh fuck off man but

yeah happy it's like so unoffensive but again it's meant to they need to rhetorically have that sort of superiority it's like rhetorical holiday superiority yeah it's the fucking christmas doing good stuff for Christmas. Yeah. Buy them gifts, though. Buy them gifts. Yeah. So, in October 2012, Fox mentioned War on Christmas more than 50 times. This year, they didn't mention it at all. Until now, basically. Wow.

Yeah. That's wild. In October, in October, they were going for it. Wow. They got to get a Mariah Carey person up in there to be like, not yet. The war on Christmas, not yet.

It's time. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if that's just the fact that Mariah Carey has formalized the beginning of the Christmas season has changed it. Or if it's just because they've succeeded in making christians feel like they're the victims of discrimination and so which could it be hmm yeah i think it's mariah carey but yeah i don't know it's uh it seems like a bullshit story but the underlying goal of it to make christian people feel like they're persecuted,

a persecuted minority has succeeded. Yeah, very successful campaign to the point that they don't even have to spew the propaganda anymore. It's just taken as truth. So yeah, well done, Fox News. Well done. Yeah. In October, YouGov asked Americans how much discrimination different groups face in the United States and Republicans were more likely to say Christians faced at least a fair amount of discrimination than they were to say the same of Jewish people or black people. They were more likely to say white people face discrimination than to say black people did. Is that on your list for Santa? To live that reality, you fucking losers. Dear Santa, for Christmas this year...

I would like to try discrimination. I would like to try to be discriminated against. I want to know what systemic oppression really feels like. What kind of holiday movie is that? Oh, man. That's the best one I'd watch. A killer. That's for sure.
