Did watch the last episode of Gemstones last night. That was a joy so that is the closest i'll get to doing anything for life is watching something about christian being christian

my name is uh jack o'brien aka i heard there was a secret word to try to guess would be absurd. So I Google Wordle answers every morning. I say it's luck or maybe smarts, but Zeitgang knows my crooked arts. So now I have to Quirtle just to prove it. That is courtesy of XCD Potter CX. That's a lot. That's a lot. Anyways, once again, our listeners accusing me of cheating at Wordle.

Take it as a compliment. How do you see? So damn good. Google the word every morning and then like somehow like. Oh, because someone solves it. Yeah. Right, right, right. I just share every time I get it in two and people think I only get them in two or something

and they're like, you must be cheating. I was like, no, I just got lucky a couple times, and I'm really fucking good at it. Anyways, I am thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! Miles Gray, a.k.a. Hideo Noho, a.k.a. the Lord of Lancashire, a.k.a. the fucking mayor of CityWalk, okay?

The sheriff's always trying to get me those curfew tickets when I was but a boy, but I dodged them by running into the garage. That's how you do it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That garage is. You grew up out here. Unending. That's a big garage.

Oh, yeah. Curfew patrol would come out and, oh, my God. Scatter, scatter, scatter. But anyway, we're back, baby. Good to have you. We're back. Good to be back. Good to have you. Good to be back.'re back, baby. Good to be back. Good to have you. Good to be back.

Good to have you. Thanks. I'm back, y'all. All right. Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a talented writer, reporter whose works you've seen and heard on Vice News Tonight, KCRW Marketplace, her 15-part history of deputy gangs inside the L.A. County Sheriff's Department of Tradition of Violence's mandatory reading. And we'll, I don't know, are we allowed to say? We'll soon be a podcast. It will be. Yeah, on this network.

Please welcome to our show the brilliant Cerise Castle! Cerise! Thanks so much for having me. So thrilled to be back. Thank you for being here. Yeah, excited. Excited to have you here. Love your Abbott Elementary tea.

Thank you. That show is, yeah, I'm a few episodes behind, but that show has only given me smiles every time I watch it. Is that like merch? How did you say you got that shirt? Oh, it was... What's the word? It was...

Liberated from the set. Got you. Liberated from the set, yes. There we go. And Fade is like that show's version of Dare. Friends Against Drug Exposure. There you go. It is like Dare, but black.

And Miles, you were saying that dare is back in these streets trying to hit you up? I should probably just do a cursory Google search to answer the question. But I saw people like doing dare awareness in a parking lot when I was at the store. And like dudes in their 20s had dare shirts on. Hey man, can I talk to you about dare real quick? And I told him I was in a rush. And then they said, no, it's all good. It's all good. Hey, do you remember D.A.R.E.? And I said, yeah. They said, what do you remember about it? I said that it doesn't work. And I kept walking. And they're like, but that's what we want to talk about. And I was like, what is this conversation? Like,

what is the point of this? Hmm. Well, D.A.R.E. never went anywhere. Just just so you know. I mean, it was it was a terrible failure but the company has never ceased operations since its founding in the mid 90s and it's based in inglewood so so what i wonder what they're doing like is it that they're trying to get more support or to try like i don't know why they're talking to me an, and what they think I how I factor into the longevity of the, you know, dare program. I was assuming that was like some NFT, like retro thing that they were just like, yeah, yeah, no dare, man. You remember it from your childhood? This is the dare NFT.

Dude, I can turn your dare diploma that you got when you finished the program into a fucking NFT, dude. We're like half an Ethereum. All right. about it think about it damn did you got a diploma my dare was so half-assed and i mean in ohio it was a fucking worksheet that the cop like like misspelled my name on so far from it being some kind of like you know worthwhile document all right well cerise we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We're going to talk about Fox News, the dilemma at Fox News. Anytime they have to, you know, people are interested in a story that's actually happening. They have a tough time, you know, it's like, wait, what do we say?

What do we do? So, you know, they have some very spicy pro-Russia takes, but then their on-the-ground reporter is pretty good at telling them to shut the fuck up or shutting it down. So we're going to talk about that strange rhythm. We're going to talk about the, rhythm. We're going to talk about the, what I actually want to hear, Cerise, if you, like, there's this story that Rolling Stone broke about like what's happening on military bases, that there's like all these deaths and it just feels like a story that's being held down, held out of the, of public view pretty strongly. So

I'm sure, you know, even if you're not an expert on it, you are an expert on that dynamic. So I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on that story. We will talk about social media and how snack companies are targeting like the last untainted way that we find out about things. All of that, plenty more, but first, Cerise, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Something from my search history. This is something I searched last night, euphoria plot synopsis.

Okay. Was it a confusing plot or you just wanted to get spoilers out of the way? I don't watch Euphoria. But every Sunday without fail, everything I see on social media just turns into references about this show that I truly know nothing about. And last night, I broke down and I finally Googled Euphoria plot synopsis. I'm not going to watch the show, but yeah, I do like to know what's going on. It feels like one of those tweets that people do where it's like, all right, I'll bite. What's euphoria? Oh, yeah.

I did that. I did that. Whatever. Whenever the episode about the play, I tweeted, OK, I'll bite. What's what's a play? Yeah, I saw the first season and then I haven't seen, I think I've only saw like the first half

of the first episode of this season. But yeah, the discourse around it on Twitter, I'm always like, huh? Eh? Yeah. It doesn't seem like a very good show. I just want to like say that. I mean, it seems like you have all these like teens

running around doing like crazy shit, like with no consequence. Like I just want to say for the record, I think that's very like bad, unhealthy television. If you do want to watch, much like Succession, I'm going to get a lot of people coming for me for this. But yeah, two shows I think that just show shitty people doing shitty things with zero consequence.

I think that's really dangerous for society and for you know what where things are going i think it's fine to make shows about shitty people doing shitty things but it needs to be done in a responsible manner if you want to watch a show like that i really recommend dope sick dope sick yeah michael keaton just won did he not i have no idea wait what was the thing he just won for that was a film michael what's michael michael keaton i swear he just won a sag award for something it might be he plays a doctor that gets addicted to yeah yeah for dope sick yeah he just won a sag award yeah it's interesting like okay did you ever watch the sopranos i did not i did not like that show I tried okay is that also because you feel

like it's a thing about shitty people I just thought it was really boring whoa okay I'm trying to find like you know what like sort of triangulate where we are because I get like succession I think when most people who watch it they go why why am I

picking a evil person to get behind or like that's sort of like I think the sensation that people have when they watch it they go why why am i picking a evil person to get behind or like that's sort of like i think the sensation that people have when they watch it but i get that yeah like the consequences just seem like the doj is gonna back off and you're like oh what okay so they continue to do it and i don't know if their aim is like we get to show people how this shit really works but on the other side of that you do see people who completely miss the point. They're like, dude, it'd be so sick to be like Roman. And you're like, no, it wouldn't.

Yeah, I watched two episodes of Euphoria and then bailed. But have followed the development of the show like paras like just via social media and like this is a first for me where like a big twist that happened in last night's episode like made me feel something i was like oh shit that's like another show that i really enjoy that i have a lot of guilt about is like snowfall where it's just like violence violence violence you see black people killing each other like pretty much non-stop for an hour and it's just like okay what's the point of this like what are we learning here yeah i saw an article that was like they they tried to say that euphoria had like actually contributed to an uptick of like young people trying to address their substance abuse but that

was like that felt like one of those things that like the producers or the network network gets like something to be published you'd be like i don't know i mean that's that's the other cool part of it so yeah yeah it definitely made drugs and the first couple episodes made drugs look fun to me as like like just trying to think through the through the mind of like me when I was in high school. Like it was like I was I thought it was amazing if you could like score some beer for the weekend and they're just like alcohol is a given. And then they're all doing like all these creative, like multicolored, amazing drugs that make amazing special effects happen and make things all sparkly i was like whoa i think that would have been hard for me to watch and not want to do every drug i could get my hand on because yeah i feel like train spotting didn't quite be like yo man i

gotta try heroin yeah you know just made me try and swim in the toilet but i never tried heroin and i think half baked was like the one thing when I was like, well, this weed shit. Now this weed thing on the other hand. Yeah. What is something you think is overrated, Cerise? I think the ending of California's mask mandate and the easing of CDC COVID restrictions is incredibly overrated. All those loudmouth anti-mask people, I think they're super overrated. I think politicians need to overrated. I think

politicians need to stand their ground and back to science. Yeah. But the science is always changing, Cerise. Science is always changing. That's the cool thing about science is we're always learning more. I liked it before when people just saw dinosaur bones and were like, ah! What the fuck that is? And now we learn more about the different periods of life on the planet but yeah that that it's it's another one of those thought-killing cliches that uh those anti-vax people always deploy was sort of like well it's everything's changing it's like yeah because you're learning about it like just like your vocabulary changed over time because you

learn more words you're not being like well we're adding new words now to english no you're learning more about something but yeah i'd be more okay with it if they were okay with like if if i had any confidence that like once the number or if the numbers go back up that they'd be like all right and now we're remasking that they wouldn't like soil themselves like just to have the worst reaction possible but yeah they seem they seem pretty unhappy with any of it yeah because it seems like you're just pleasing a very small specific group of people because i look around parts of la like most people are still wearing i think a lot of people just emotionally psychologically haven't moved into a place where they're like yeah it's over and it's and I feel safe I think that I don't know how much of the

general population is like that I mean I know a certain place right like well yeah courtesy and also but I think other people do feel that there is something where it's like well hold on now like this just because you're saying we can wear masks, no, like masks aren't mandated anymore, that that actually signals that like, it's completely a harm free environment. Yeah, I mean, especially for like, our disabled friends are people that can't build immunities, like one of my close family members has this really rare genetic disease where he's had the he's been given the vaccine three times, but he just can't build antibodies. So he doesn't have any protection. So, I mean, and COVID cases, like, yes, they're a lot lower than they were two months ago,

which was the highest number of cases that we've had in the past two years. So when we're saying that it's dropping, yes, it is dropping, but cases are still incredibly high. This is still one of the highest points that we've had since the onset of COVID nationally. And the people that don't have that protection, they're just fucked now. Like, are they not supposed to leave their house? They still have to, you know, go grocery shopping, walk their dog. Like anything, if it's a not very visible group of people, then it's just not considered and erased. And it doesn't matter because we're talking about the regular people who just want to fucking drink at Applebee's,

you know, a little bit of chicken fry. Everybody knows your name. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it wasn't at the time when they were talking about like putting them, like, I know the CDC had their timeline,

but even when it was talked, being talked about in California specifically, like many parts of the state are still considered high risk. Correct. Like Los Angeles County and children under five still can't get vaccinated. And, you know, there are tons of parents of kids under five that I talk to that, you know, have to send their kids to school now without masks, without any kind of protection. And they're incredibly vulnerable. Right. Yeah. I have a four year old. They're not great at keeping the masks on to begin with. without any kind of protection. And they're incredibly vulnerable. Right. Yeah.

I have a four-year-old. They're not great at keeping the masks on to begin with. So that's not having a teacher there, putting it like back over the nose every time it comes down is not great. What is something that you think is underrated? I think it's underrated that we're not talking about the U.S. taking a military action in Somalia last week. This was done without White House approval. The United States bombed Somalia for the first time since August 2021. We've been talking a lot about what's happening in Ukraine. That's awful. And yeah, like definitely feel for the people

of the working class on both sides of that conflict that are subjected to violence. But, you know, it's not happening in a vacuum. Our country is taking military action in the African continent and we should be paying attention. I think we should be putting pressure on politicians about this sort of thing.

And especially the fact that it's happening without White House approval is incredibly dangerous. Yeah. I mean, I think we'll touch on this like when we start talking a little bit more about what just generally what the reactions have been on like the in the U.S. as it relates to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But yeah, it's giving a lot of people the moment to sort of like just paper over past mistakes or other things and just act like nothing else is happening except this. And you see a lot of this like sort of contradictory behavior from many like nations, whether that's like Turkey, you know, saying like, you know, they're standing in solidarity with Ukrainian people,

but then they're bombing Kurds like days later. Or like you're saying with the U.S. bombing Somalia. There's just always things happening where I don't know, it allows for right now because the Ukraine thing is taking up so much of the attention. It's been very easy to kind of be like, yeah, and that's the only thing that's happening. Don't need to look at anything else. Let's not talk about other people that have been displaced by unilateral invasions. And is the no White House like approval or authorization? Is that kind of a new trend, military action? It's a new trend in military action in the African continent, which, again, is something that like I just feel like not enough people are talking about and paying attention to. That's a huge break from

our foreign policy. Generally, all strikes like this need to be done with White House approval. And that is not the case anymore for military actions in the African continent. That's an official policy. That's an official policy. Yes. Just to say that the people that are in charge of like command over there, like that's just the buck stops there essentially with whatever has to be done. Exactly, yes. Is that with the sort of PR sort of spin on it to be like, well, they have to respond very quickly to like a very... You got it.

Quickly evolving situation. So we have to deputize these fucking bomb humpers to do whatever they want. Exactly. these fucking bomb humpers to do whatever they want. Exactly. Yeah, because things aren't quickly evolving anywhere else in the world where people are dying and killing each other. So that's shocking. I mean, that's something we've raised just like over the course of the past week as Ukraine

has been like the thing that everybody's paying attention to is like the double standard in the media when it comes to countries that are predominantly brown or black, like don't get the same attention. But like having a double standard for authorization for African countries is like that's that's shocking. Yeah. Yep. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about Fox News. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast,

Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives.

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 boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, because the talent is getting better.

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

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous

cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. more the story of one strange and violent summer this is rip current available now with new episodes every thursday listen on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and fox news's worst enemy right now is their own foreign correspondent. ever heard, whether it's like just parroting Kremlin talking points or just things that are like so like intellectually bankrupt that you even have trouble like following what the thread even is, aside from just like it ends with like, and that's why Biden is worse than Trump. There's just been all kinds of stuff. And, you know, sadly, when some of the hosts want to go into like the spin zone, they tend to jennifer griffin who's one of their

like veteran foreign correspondents i guess like with national security and you know started her career in russia whenever she's been on in the last couple days she's almost every time been like uh yeah the last person just said something i can't believe was just said out loud or like or even checking the host be like no no that's not actually true what you're talking about that like you know really trying to make sure that there's not a ton of like misinformation disinformation getting put out there to the viewers and on sunday she was on you know trey gowdy mr benghazi on his show he was speaking with retired army and a retired army colonel and former trump military advisor who was essentially saying, just let Putin do his thing, man. He wanted to take Ukraine for like ever.

So just let him do whatever he wants. There's literally no point in getting involved in this. I'll play this for you. And Gowdy doesn't really have much to say in response to this. But let me just play this clip for you. I think we need to stay out of it. The American people think we should stay out of it. The Europeans think we should stay out of it. And we should stop shipping weapons and encouraging Ukrainians to die in what is a hopeless endeavor. So when you say stay out of it, you mean no

sanctions, no military aid, just let Russia take the portion of Ukraine they want to take. Yes, absolutely. So, yes. Trey Gowdy's like, OK, sit idly by while more innocent people are needlessly killed and let Vladimir Putin just do as he pleases. And the guy's like, yes. So then once that segment ends and like, you know, the viewers have been subjected almost five minutes of this, you know, like Putin apologists kind of stuff. Jennifer Griffin comes on and she just has to she starts off by saying, like, hold on, I actually need I would need more than 10 minutes to even go through everything why everything that guy said was wrong. But I'll give you the the start of it just so you can understand her sort of like conviction to clearing up what that other loser just said. Ten minutes is enough time to do so because there were so many distortions

in what he just said and talking about the West and NATO vilifying Putin and sounding like an apologist for Putin and talking about how Putin—he thinks he knows how far Putin wants to go. I don't think anyone that I've spoken to here at the Pentagon or elsewhere in Western intelligence believes they know how far Putin wants to go. And I think that the world has seen what Putin is capable of. And to blame NATO membership for what we've seen Putin unleash, we've seen from Putin's own words that he is talking in czarist terms from a 19th century view of imperial Russia. So those what he just said was so distorted that I do feel that our audience needs to know the truth in terms of Putin.

I've known. So, you know, she goes on to say, and here's why I'm an authority on what, like all of this. By the end of it, Trey Gowdy, complete, just, I don't know. He's like, I agree with you, which is the weirdest thing because a second ago, he did not push back at all with that last guest. But let's just hear Trey Gowdy at the end of her like impassioned rebuttal to that retired colonel. Yeah, Jennifer, it takes a lot to surprise me. At my age, I was pretty surprised at Colonel McGregor. I mean, his his view of life is, well, Russia's been telling you they're going to do this. So they did it. I, I, I found his it uh stunning uh and disappointing marco rubio and

others okay my man you've just been anti you've been mr anti sanctions we need to stay out of it the last couple weeks and now that somebody with a with some know-how and intelligence suppressing you you just capitulate like oh has he been he's been on that side of things? Because my main issue is him saying he was stunned and surprised when during that guy's like long tirade about how we should just step step back and let Putin do whatever he wants. I was going to ask if it if they had replaced him with a photograph of him because he just like didn't move. He was just like completely still and with a like dumb smile on his face. So it seemed he, he expresses shock in a very, in a very strange way.

Yeah. By nodding his head and being like, yep, that part, that part. I mean, before he's like, I don't even know how good sanctions are going to be.

And I mean, that's valid if you're going to actually really take it to the point of like, what does that mean for you know uh real estate investments in places like new york miami london like is are will the sanctions go that far in which case is it enough but he's just kind of been the whole time like i don't know you know i'll just kind of go with whatever the person in front of me is saying uh because that's and frankly he was lucky we were on tv because i would have kicked his ass the way he was talking that shit uh you know oh my god i think our viewers could

see it i was i was fucking heated man over here anyway he is so strange looking by the way because he can't decide on what like fash haircut he wants like every 10 minutes it's always changing in the weirdest ways like he's really giving off like strong paul rubens in the original buffy the vampire slayer movie but to me he looks to me like that uh like the referee for the hunger game movies the host yes yeah i mean he needs some funny facial hair he needs to like get some sideburns that like connect on top of his nose or whatever the fuck they were rocking back but you know this is this is all just kind of part of watching like what democrats or republicans in this country like how they're kind of dealing like with what's happening you know for the longest time republicans

have just been like trump like apologists for the way how accommodating he was with Vladimir Putin and or even like how he handled like Ukraine's past requests for, you know, defensive weapons. culture war this guy uh congressperson clay higgins has tweeted like the most nonsense shit a couple days ago about about what's happening in ukraine and this is what he tweeted this is a again shouldn't shock you that this is a this is gonna be a direct quote and you won't believe it's a direct quote as miles reads it because it doesn't it doesn't make sense it's like a mad lib but like mixed with i don't know man like you you feel like you're on drugs listen hey take off your nintendo glasses for a second and listen up this is from him quote you millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky you made you made a quite you made quite a non-binary fuss

to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets. What? This is what you write when you take euphoria drugs. Yeah. Yeah, if the parent, there's only one parent or two parents in the whole show, but if that parent took the drugs and then tried to fit in do a hey hey fellow kids yeah with your woke sky again this is his really

bizarro old boomer energy wrapped up and basically trump would have prevented this upon your woke sky that's yeah i live under the woke sky i'm gonna start saying that now yeah pretty live under the woke sky where sky daddy lives isn't that what someone called god sky zaddy quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from like i'm trying to like pull out the buzzwords to see but like it even then it doesn't make sense. Threat can now reflect upon your sky? Like, I could remember, like, when the Soviet Union fell. Like, I was old enough.

I can have a concept. Miles, we're elderly millennials. I know, but still. Yeah, exactly. I'm a geriatric millennial through and through. But I'm like, sir, I not to say that I've lived under the threat of nuclear war or something like that, but to act as if there's no context or lived experience looking at things. second part is the whole thing is that it's it's going after the like the idea of people being more inclusive that's why it's a non-binary fuss to save the world from trump which is the intercontinental ballistic tweets or whatever to the world from okay so you've put i don't even know that he has that locked in to be honest with you like that the because your woke sky doesn't really make sense, right?

Is the sky like alluding to the missiles that will come from the sky? Now reflect upon your woke sky. That we avoided war. So because we've, there's been minimal peace that the sky is woke. Because also I feel like anyone who remembers anything after 9-11 is probably remember a consistent stream of warfare. That's what I was going to say. I didn't live under like the Cold War, but I definitely remember the post 9-11 hawkishness that ran through the country. Do you remember those promotions on the Disney Channel where they they were like yes i love america because patriotism is cool that was wild right hi yeah i'm hannah

montana and i love scud missiles okay so and and even like the news the way that they are so bad at hiding their own discriminatory beliefs and racism like the multiple someone did a whole fucking thread of newscasters being like and this isn't like some dirty brown country it's a place where white people live and like their horror around it you're like yo how could you say that oh my god but again these are the people who are synthesizing world events and then you know broadcasting that to the general public i'm gonna play a couple of these because they own you can't believe how like fucking just like no filter like these comments are. These are not refugees from Syria. These are refugees from neighboring Ukraine.

That quite frankly is part of it. These are Christians, they're whites, they're... This isn't a place with all due respect, you know, like Iraq or Afghanistan that has seen conflict raging for decades. You know, this is a relatively civilized, relatively European. I have to choose those words. Holy shit. Come the fuck on. Relatively civilized relatively and then you can see like in both cases they're

like eyes start to twitch because they like realize like they've just said something racist yeah it's it's pretty interesting i think the guy also said i want to train i want to choose my words carefully here yeah yeah too late bro yeah it's almost like it was almost like uh like a satirical bit like that's like the perfect execution for like a comedic line it's like and i want to choose my words carefully here and you go for the most offensive version right i would have assumed that those like that he was speaking of like a critique or something. But then he like tells himself by being like, and I want to choose my words carefully there. So like it's not like he's saying and some people have said this or he's like putting those words in someone else's mouth.

Not that that's like better, but it's like how a newscaster would typically like kind of frame that sort of thing but right some people are saying that this is like a different thing but instead he's like and i should have chosen my words more carefully there yeah my bad i mean i we've already forgot about like the people of Afghanistan. Like, what are the fuck? What, what are we even talking about? And even like with the people being like, wow, the Taliban said that they should stop.

The Russia should really stop with their invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, things are getting really bad in Afghanistan as well. Like with the Taliban. And it's just a, it's just this really, again, like this moment where I think this overarching sentiment, especially with like people who feel like they're, you know, like liberals or Democrats on TV, they're trying to make themselves feel good that something is happening.

Well, the U.S. is providing like like fucking expensive munitions that, you know, that go straight into those those those companies coffers. But like it has while not being completely objective about America's foreign policy, it's very like summer of 2020 vibes, you know? Right. Just like, oh, yeah, this thing's so bad. It's just in this very narrow thing. And I'm not going to we're not going to really fully open up an analysis as to how we got here or why things are the way they are. But in this moment, they needed help. We gave them stingers and some, you know, other weapons. And now we can feel kind of good about it and continue on with our day of like ignoring,

you know, the legacy of like invasion and meddling in like Latin America. I don't know. That's what it all feels like. Biden just froze seven billion dollars of money in Afghanistan in the Afghan Central Bank and is like taking that money and giving it to American families of 9-11 victims. Like that's so beyond. But like people are going to die from that decision. And it's just. Yeah.

But it's really. Afghanistan checks notes has nothing to do with it's just. Yeah. But it's. It really. Afghanistan checks notes has nothing to do with 9-11. Right. That's just a really. And that's like so many of so much of this very. Contradictory shit is going on. And it really kind of.

It can be. Very dizzying. The rate at which people just kind of. Very clearly show their biases and like who deserves dignity and who doesn't because in this instance there's just this very like eurocentric like oh my god they're christian another another clip talked about people having blonde hair and blue eyes i was like okay hold on gerbils like right no one is talking about the african migrants that have been not able to get out of Ukraine. There are videos going around of Ukrainian police actually stopping Black people from getting on trains and buses who are attempting to exit the country.

And I have not seen nary a mention of that on U.S. news. No, it's either on like you either have to. Yeah, you're going to European news or like tweets from like Nigerian people who are from people that are actually living this reality and asking for help online. Right. Yeah. And huge threads of being like, I will now tweet my experience as a black person trying to get out of Ukraine at the moment. And they're you know, it's harrowing. But this is kind of like what the what these conflicts kind of tend to do to our you know political discourse and awareness at the moment all right let's take a quick break

and we'll be right back i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit netflix documentary series dancing for the devil the, the 7M TikTok cult.

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 boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.

From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And there's a story that's been kicking around for a couple months. Rolling Stone wrote about it a few months back about this mysterious murder where a soldier went camping and with his peers disappeared, his head washed up on shore a few days later. And the investigation has been a mess because it's all, like, handled internally. And so this has actually, like, caused some people to, like, kind of raise a flag and be like, and actually this has just become a massive problem on military bases because, like, there's all these deaths.

Like, deaths are way the fuck up deaths like deaths are way the fuck up murders are way the fuck up or they were until people started reporting on it and then they just stopped reporting the deaths like the deaths are still happening but they just stopped you know reporting them uh letting the information leak out oh so there just like, there's no outward inflow of information saying someone died. Yeah. It's like, you got to like, look for it or, you know, get like a FOIA request or something. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And yeah, so there's, the numbers are crazy, but there's like all these cases of, you know, people being found unresponsive or dead in their barracks. And like the military is just like, yeah, they died of natural causes.

And it's like they were 28. What are you and what are you talking about? And then they're like the ones where somebody's murdered body was found on like training grounds, like in a way that was like designed to send a message. training grounds in a way that was designed to send a message. But people within the military, people who know people within the military, really are kind of trying to raise a flag and be like, this is a thing, you guys. But Cerise, I don't know. You have been reporting a story that nobody wants to pay attention to for a long time, and certainly the L.A. Sheriff's Department doesn't want anybody to pay attention to it. But, like, do you have any kind of perspective on this one? Yeah, I mean, actually, a friend of mine is a federal investigator.

I won't name where she works, but she does do a lot of work looking into these sorts of deaths. And she has told me that it's something that is becoming more commonplace over the past couple of years. As far as theory, she can't really get into too much detail with me because she, you know, wants to keep her job. But she did say she has told me that there is a really toxic culture inside the military. And I mean, like, we all like know about this, right? We all know about how there is an significant amount of military personnel that are involved in domestic violence. There's a certain amount of military personnel that, you know, are involved in like anger, anger issues and that sort of thing. And she's told me that, like the police, there is a culture of silence

in the military and that when something goes wrong, it is in the unit's best interest. And that's everyone from, you know, the privates, the soldiers up to their commanders, lie legacy of the armed forces. And that's why, and it's, it's incredibly difficult for her to do her work because, you know, when a body is found, when a head washes up, you know, it's her job to go in and find what happened. But because of this, you know, green wall of silence, it's, it's incredibly difficult to you know get to find like who who did the thing and with that find a solution yeah you know and it's like you you see this reported as like a problem at fort bragg or a problem at fort hood but it really does they still calling it fort bragg i think they were as of okay i. I was just thinking about that. But the 83 soldiers died at Fort Bragg

in the 18 months ending June 2021. Only 11 of those deaths were from natural causes. Fort Bragg hasn't announced any fatalities since then. They're still happening, but the base has just, like, gone dark. They're just like, okay. It's like, you guys don't get to find out about it this shit yeah the police do this too with jails right we see very similar very similar

when someone dies in a jail it's incredibly difficult to get that information and again it's it's this sense of wanting to protect the institution, protect the organization at the expense of the people. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think the first time I really understood that sort of green wall of silence was, you know, just when you hear about the lack of accountability for like sexual assault that occurs in the military and you're like, what? Really?

Huh? And you're like, yeah, it's been like the most suppressed thing you'd ever heard of until like 15 years ago. Yeah, it almost shows that we as a culture lack the ability to do any kind of introspection, meaning don't ever send anybody to investigate itself because it's not going to work. And even then you have outside people come in and people are just sort of tied to this weird sense of loyalty to upholding the tradition of brutalization across the globe. Yeah, that's a really big problem for, you know, people like when you do get someone that like wants to come in and make a difference.

It's incredibly hard for those people. And that's something I've seen a lot in my police reporting. I don't cover the Army specifically, but I'm sure that there are people there that want to investigate these things the right way and make some institutional changes. But it's incredibly difficult when 99% of the people that you work with are just like, no, we're not going to do that. And Fort Bragg, apparently they are in the process of changing their name, but there is a, I guess, a group of, a citizens group who is in charge of the renaming. They cannot come to a consensus. Again, for people who don't know, Braxton Bragg was a Confederate general. That seems to be the place they always drag their feet is, yeah, like the Washington football team, like, wouldn't come up with a new name. The Northrop Grumman's. But you have to call us the Washington football team

for three years. We'll do it, but we'll do it like Paul Rudd picking up the things he dropped in Wet Hot American Summer, just like with the least energy possible. Just like, ugh.

Fine. All right. Should we talk about snacks? Snacks or Dr. Oz? I mean, please. Dealer's choice, Miles. Your call. Should we go Oz?

Guest choice. Guest choice. Guest choice. Let's talk about snacks. I hate Dr. Oz. Well, then it sounds like you need to hear about his campaign because I think we're going to tell you some things that might change your mind. Keep an open mind, keep an open mind. I mean, this is like less about snacks and more about marketing.

But there's this article in the Takeout, like how and why we choose snacks in this in our modern world. And it revealed something that I think is definitely true for me is that like family and friends like that's the only kind of opinion or recommendation that I can take at face value. Everything else I feel like has just been infected by marketing. And in fact, this article is based on a survey created by marketers. And the way that they report that is another huge contingent of respondents 43 said they buy new things on the recommendation of family and friends how does a major food conglomerate capitalize on word of mouth by finding every possible excuse to push products out on social media and get you in on the fun which fun so like that the last like bastion of, OK, the one thing that you can trust is like having a conversation with somebody and being like, well, what do you really like? And I don't give a fuck about what you post on social media because you might be like sponsored or some shit like they're trying to find a way to infect that. Like that is a problem for them to solve.

But the way they look at it, it's like 43% think for themselves. How do we get up in their minds? Exactly. You know, like you're not good with 57% of people. Clearly. I don't know what the other, how it all breaks down, but assuming maybe a majority of people have probably like, no, you know, I'll give something a shot if I like an ad. I mean, I, as a child who was mostly brain on in the 80s and 90s commercials fucked me up like i was i i would have eaten fucking you know like dry concrete mix like if it was like marketed a certain way just because like oh cool fucking you know rock rock based for your mouth right but yeah i mean i don't know like i was reading this the day after i went to this thing at my kid's school where the principal was talking

about how they've like seen anxiety and ocd explode in elementary school age kids like over the past 10 years and like i just think that there's like the that idea of like always find like i think we when we like look at social media and talk about like the way social media is affecting us like we look at the actual platforms as opposed to like how like how much of what is happening is like happening inside our brains and just like changing our definition, changing how we like perceive each other, perceive ourselves, like brands are now like incorporated into that, like how we communicate and like think about ourselves like that. It's like all been kind of corrupted in a way that couldn't really be before. And I'm not blaming snack companies for exploding ocd and anxiety but i do feel like

there's like some element of like unadulterated you know communication and like human socializing that we have lost and like replaced with a thing that is basically a problem for a bunch of people who went to like ivy league schools and got marketing degrees like to solve. And they're always like getting just better and better at it. Like that's what our civilization or like the U.S. is. is like solve the problem of how to make money off of every single like place that you rest your eyes or like put your everything you put into your brain yeah there it's like because you know social media has only accelerated the hardest thing that like people have to contend with which is comparing yourself to other people as it relates to like your own happiness or goals or things like that.

And I think social media has definitely been like this, become this whole way of being like, well, how do I measure up to these other people I look at on my phone constantly? And does that make me feel better or worse? And I can, I can already, I can only imagine again, like even when we've talked about when Facebook was very, or, you know, they they were their documents leaked or they're like, yeah, man, it's like Facebook, Instagram, like fucks kids heads up. But whatever, man, the fucking ad growth is explosive. So let's just keep that shit going. that is only going to continue when we have no other way of like i don't know like communicating to the public that this this isn't this isn't like these are the real demand or the real

the costs on like our our humanity when like living like this is so normal and in fact like something people strive for it in certain places but how do you guys like find out about a new tasty snack? I don't. Would be the fun way of taking this story. I really don't. I think it takes me to like be so high at the grocery store. Yeah. And it's just all chance, baby. I give it up to the good Lord, you know, Backwoods and OG Kush.

The most effective marketing agency of my whole life, is showing up high. And I'm like, oh, shit. They have this flavor of popcorn now? And I'm like, great. Then I forget about it. I finish the bag. I don't buy it again. And I go on my life. Hard agree. That's how I've been finding out about new snacks since I was like 15. Yeah. Because, you know, other times, out about new snacks since I was like 15. Yeah, because you know, other times too, you see people like get too enthusiastic about shit online. And I'm like, man, shut the fuck up. Like, even if it's not an ad where people are like, had to get another one of these my favorite, you know, clearly not doing any spawn con, like very normal, you know, like not someone who's like an influencer and just really getting on it. Sometimes it has the opposite effect on me with people's enthusiasm,

but I don't know. I click on banner ads. Have you guys tried that? Just anytime you see something cool in a banner ad, just click on that shit. Follow it wherever it wants to take you. You know what I click on? That's like really horrible.

Those like ads that you got were like, you'll never believe what this actor looks like now it's impossible it's so hard not to click on that are you ever uh satisfied with what you find i'm always satisfied i always learn something new yeah yeah which is funny because it's always like in an article 18 years ago, this person said that. And you're like, well, it's news to me, I guess. Right. Yeah.

I can't blame you. I honestly, even though you say that, it does take a lot of willpower for me to be like, don't click it. Don't click it. Don't click it. Don't click it. It's just bait. And then sometimes I'll talk to somebody who will like who who also clearly clicked on it and bring it up in conversation i'm like yes good i've outmaneuvered them because my other friend

fell victim to the irresistible clickbait i mean i think this is an opportunity to really like provide a service and tell us what who is the actor and what do they look like that you that you got you got to see i don't even remember anymore oh my gosh sorry i just have to click it and find out and you do work for the whatever the company is that makes makes those ads so yeah i own all the companies that that would actually be a good service for people, like a Twitter account or something where they just go tell you exactly what's behind there and you don't have to click on any fucking spyware or whatever. Just be like, all right, the actor that they're talking about is this.

This is the picture they're going to show you. Right. Just take the energy out of it. Remember these 16 child stars from the 90s? We'll look at them now. Number 14 will make you piss. Yeah. And, like, if we could just create some kind of, like, browser plug-in, you hover over.

It's like, here's the list. Number 14 is just the youngest son from 7th Heaven. Okay? And you're like, great, great. Keep me moving. Did make me piss when I found out what he been up to. But they always put language in there like, you won't believe number 7. Holy shit.

And you're like, oh, okay. That the child grew to be an adult man? I'm still shocked. Number 3 made our eyes fall out of our skulls onto the desk in front of us. You won't be able to look away. Number three.

What the fuck? Good. Number two and number one do bro. Right. Oh, well, you know, that's how this,

that's how those ads get you. Yeah. I always fall victim to the ones that say I want a free iPod. An iPod in 2022. Got it. Congratulations. Congratulations. say I want a free iPod. An iPod in 2022? Congratulations. Congratulations. You want a free iPod. I'm like, yes.

And I click it. And then I won so many more because then my computer starts telling me many times that I won. Congratulations. And my browser shuts down and I have to get a new computer, which takes me to the Apple store. And then I asked for my free iPod and they said, I have, they have no idea what I'm talking about. My computer's filled with malware or something. Yeah. Malware. I think it's like the, it's like the internet super highway version of the mall. Oh, okay. Yeah. That's how I hear it. Yes, please. Well then take me to Brookstone. Cerise, such a pleasure having you as always.
