Thank you for having me, Jack. Hey, we're thrilled to have you. And in the guest spot, we're thrilled to be joined by yesterday's co-host. The co-host of one of the great podcasts in this world, Ethnically Ambiguous. Please welcome Ana Hosnia.

We're thrilled to have you. Yeah. I did not get enough. Thanks, Dad. Just one serving? Come on. Not enough. This is all I've ever wanted.

So, Anna, you've sat through over 200 of these recordings of this show. You have never done the Search History overrated, underrated myth. So I'm assuming you just have these built up that you're just ready to roll. So let's ask you. Jack, I'm sorry. Let me just stop you there. I did it on the 100th episode, and then I did it on the 4th of July episode. Oh, right, right.

Not to correct. You didn't do search history or myth, right? Well, I don't reveal my search histories, but I did do myth on the 100th episode. Oh, you did? Yes. Word. I don't remember any of the episodes we've done. I know.

That's why I sit on your shoulder everywhere you go and just whisper everything into your ear. I have an earwig. She helps me through my dates with the missus. All right. But before we get to that, we're going to tell our listeners what we're going to be talking about. We're going to be talking about Crazy We're going to be talking about crazy rich Asians being officially a cultural phenomenon. The fact that Trump's CFO, a gentleman named Allen Weisselberg, has been granted immunity. So looks like he's going to flip. We're going

to be talking about who is seeking impeachment, who's talking about impeachment. We're going to be talking about what would actually happen if Trump were impeached. And we're going to be talking about who is seeking impeachment, who's talking about impeachment. We're going to be talking about what would actually happen if Trump were impeached. And we're going to be talking about the importance of the year 2008. Podcast I love, Night Call with Molly and Tess. Molly and Tess have been guests on this show. They had a 2008 retrospective last week, and also Simon Rich's father, a guy named Frank Rich, wrote a pretty killer article for New York Magazine last week about how 2008 was the year the American dream died, which seems like a cliched point, but is actually, he just had a really compelling sketch of the significance of the financial crash in 2008 as compared to other big events from the past couple decades. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about what companies are doing with those tax dollars, with all those tax cut windfalls that they've gotten.

How are they spending that? Presumably giving them back to the workers, right? We're going to check in. And, of course, we're going gonna give you a quick boy which we're gonna be doing on mondays now uh given the new schedule so uh something that you might notice is that this is gonna be a big ideas show uh where we take stock of the entire zeitgeist. But last Monday's app, we talked about what our quicksand is just generally. And today we're talking about the importance of the year 2008. But if news breaks over the weekend, like when Melania Trump is granted immunity and announces

she's cooperating with federal investigators. We will not be reporting on that because we are recording this before the weekend. So, yeah, there you go. Or if Barron Trump. Yeah, Barron Trump has been granted immunity. Barron Trump has been granted immunity. He's just got, like, file cabinets and stuff. I mean...

He's like, you all thought I was slow. Donald Trump Jr. is definitely just, like, there's part of him. We contain multitudes. And there's definitely part of him that still hates his dad that's dying to flip. Oh, for sure. And he knows all. Before we get to any of that, Ana Hosnia, what is something from your search history that is revealing about what your social security number is? Yes.

420-69-69-69. She is not the coolest in the biz for nothing. I know. I was born really cool. No, I search how the fuck do you spell Cincinnati? Because how the fuck do you spell Cincinnati? So many I's and N's and T's. What are we doing here?

I do that with definitely. I can never spell definitely correctly. I'm so embarrassed about it. I always have to Google it. I definitely have those words. I say deaf just to be like fuck. Guys, just like Fantasia Barrino, I can't read. I've been keeping

this secret long enough. You know I got that vibe from you you can only show me memes that are just photos yeah you can't ever show the word ones and then you show her the word ones and she's just like such a good one I love that meme very general that meme made me laugh so funny uh what is something that you think is overrated um challenge culture i swear to god if you challenge me to something i will not respond to you i agree with you on that if you go like i nominate anna to talk fast in an instagram video i will ignore you some challenges I think are cute. Like, I like the I'm a cow, don't you cow, obviously.

I like, you know, fun shit like that. But I'm so sick and tired of y'all damn movie challenges. Somebody challenged me to put up 10 fucking posts about old ass movies I like. Nobody challenged you to this shit. That ain't no damn challenge. Or to post a beautiful photo of yourself day. Somebody nominated me for this.

Ain't nobody nominate your ugly ass. Yeah. Literally. It's like dumber versions of chain mail. Yeah. It is. That's what it is. It's become chain mail.

Wait, is there a Doja Cat challenge? Yes. The bitch, I'm a cow. Bitch, I'm a cow. No, I love that song. But the challenge is to- It was the challenge to dress in a cow outfit and try and be her.

And try to be a cow. Look, you will never be Doja Cat. I know, seriously. Yeah, that was fun. That is one of the more ill-advised challenges because nobody can be her. Kiki was fun for a while. Some of y'all were way too late, so.

Some of y'all were literally getting hit by cars. Now, was that one, did that start with an official video? Because I only ever saw the people doing the challenges. Shiggy started it. Shiggy started it. Yeah, so he like, I guess he did the dance first

and then everybody was like, oh, this is cool, I want to recreate this. Got it. And I know who Shiggy is, but why don't you tell our listeners who Shiggy is? He's an Instagram comedian.

Of course. Ana, what is something you think is underrated? Movers. Holy shit, they just show up to your house? They'll take all your shit to your other house. Oh my god, that is so true. I've never used movers before. What? My parents have, but I personally have always just been lugging shit around like a crazy

person. You just ambush your friends? Yeah. My boyfriend hates me. I just hired movers and they were like, I just take that you don't even have to pick it up this stuff yeah and i was like wow yeah i made a move from missouri to new york where we're trying to save some money me and my wife so we moved our entire house to, like, a house into, I think it was, like, a fourth floor apartment. And, like, there was one point, like, at the end where we were both carrying a couch and, like, her knees buckled. And I was like, come on! Get up!

You can do it! And then we were just like, why aren't we hiring movers? We're adults. What the fuck is wrong with us? You trying to get our amps? We had adults. What the fuck is wrong with us? You're trying to get her amped? Yeah, like sweat pouring down our face. This is it. This is it.

That is crazy. Yeah, no, but honestly, this is something you only need to tell people in their 20s. After that, you're an adult. Right. You're like, I don't touch cardboard. I saw my family move

and that's when I was like, oh, there's a chic ways to move. We once moved to Florida just for a year and there were people who came and packed our whole house up for us. And labeled everything. I was like, oh, this is how I'm moving. That's what my parents would always do and I was like, oh, I'm not an adult. I can't do that.

And then I was like, oh my god, I am almost 30 what am i what am i doing i feel like this is an argument for ex-convicts to be able to work wherever without facing such harsh discrimination because why do we let ex-cons be movers if you're worried about you're about to give this man all your stuff right and he gonna move it right like so let ex-cons work in other places. That is something to note, is that it is almost exclusively ex-cons on moving crews. For some reason, I don't know why that is.

Right? So I'm like, if we trust them. It must just be something with their hiring processes. Yeah. Well, just because this is a strong, brawny man. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a physically difficult job.

Yeah. They spent time in the yard getting shredded but i'm just like right so i'm like damn lennox cons work other places we already give them the most trust when they get out anyway you let them move your shit yeah anna what is a myth finally what is something people think is true that you know to be false? If you see a woman in a hijab in America, do not assume she is being forced to wear that because of her religion or her father or her husband or anyone around her. Just think, hey, maybe she made that choice by herself. That's my myth. Don't assume that kind of shit because there is so much more to a person than just their hijab like that

person was like oh you know what i like to cover my hair it has nothing to do with my dad has nothing to do my husband there's nothing to do my religion or sometimes you know it does have to do with religion but like don't assume right that's my thing yeah people make their own choices such an interesting conversation on uh last week's ethnically ambiguous between Shireen and her mother that touched on like a period where Shireen's mom was covered and just like why she made that decision and it had nothing to do with her dad her dad had no opinion on it he was like do what you want yeah exactly all right well thank you for that it's good to get to know you a little bit better more myths you know debunked like that you must check out my podcast, Ethically Ambiguous with Anna and Shireen.

I thought you were going to talk about Will You Accept This Rose, which is the only podcast you ever promote on this show. We talk about bachelor contestants who wear hijabs. So just moving on to cultural things, Crazy Rich Asians is, I think we can say officially, a cultural phenomenon. It's expected to repeat as the number one box office movie this weekend. And the book is now the best-selling book according to Amazon. And number two on that list is China Rich Girlfriend, which sounds like it was a poorly translated title from another language. Google Translate.

But is actually the second book in that series, and that is at number two. And the third, Rich People Problems, just showed up on the chart for the first time, and it's already at number 10. Damn. Is that number three? Yeah, that's the third one, Rich People Problems. So, yeah, people give a fuck about this movie.

What a shock. I know. know seriously i haven't seen it there wasn't enough uh white folks in it for me that's how i like my movies like i like my milk this makes me want to write uh like a romantic comedy about persian people and being like this iranian jewish person wanted to marry a Muslim Jewish person. Their families were horrified. I swear to God if anyone steals that idea. You put it out there. You did just tell people.

But that would be crazy too because it's just like so not okay. They don't like that at all. So here come my studio money. Bye. Definitely have to put some Kardashians in it. It's all cast as Kardashians and Shahs of Sunset characters. Even though they're Armenian, put them in as well.

I still haven't seen it. I babysat last night while my wife saw it. So she got to see it and she loved it. This is all comeback for all of that moving situation. Yeah, exactly. You were yelling at her to live with her. Look at me now. You stay with the kids.

She was talking about how her friend liked it so much. She was like, I'm going to bring my husband and see it again tomorrow. And she was like, ha! I was like, so you're not going to do that? She was like, isn't that crazy? Anyway, massage my feet. Exactly. That somebody would bring their husband so that they could see it?

You ain't going nowhere but i i am curious to know like what those producers who were just saying asian people and black people couldn't have leading roles in movies for the past 70 years like what are they telling themselves right now? The director of Crazy Rich Asians was asked to make the lead character a white girl by a studio. Yeah, because otherwise,

how would white people be able to relate? Right, that's what they said. I can't see myself, even though I see myself everywhere. I also need to see myself here. Unless this is super in genre of some stereotypical trope. Yeah.

I bet there's at least one shitty executive who's like, it's a coincidence. This is a fluke. Oh, that'll happen. Just like Black Panther. Right. That's a one in a hundred chance. That does not happen. You would think that because the two most culturally zeitgeisty movies of the year so far are movies that star not white people that they would learn the lesson. But I don't know.

Inertia is a hell of a thing. Right? They're like, no, no, no. Let's just keep rebooting old white stuff that worked out. They're bringing back Murphy Brown. I was like, what? I know. What? Here's what we need. Murphy Brown back Murphy Brown. I was like, what? I know. What?

Here's what we need. Murphy Brown. Murphy Brown. I'm going to need another Cheers. I'm going to need another Frazier. Right. Murphy Brown. Brady Bunch?

They're talking about rebooting Frazier. More Brady Bunch. Yes. I do feel like this made me think of the fact that it feels like the culture is advancing now a little bit faster than old people are dying off. So there's still these older executives who are like, well, so are we thinking Julia Roberts in the lead role? Right. Andy Griffith reboot.

And let me guess, Julia, right before the wedding, runs off. Yeah. It's like, what? No one will see it coming. But this 2008 article that we're going to talk about a little bit later on in the episode made me realize that the last generation to be this much smarter and more idealistic

and progressive than the older people that they were inheriting the earth from was the baby boomers. The people that we're inheriting the earth from was the baby boomers, the people that we're inheriting the earth from. So let's not fuck it up quite so hard this time, guys. What do you say? We're going to take a quick break. We're going to be right back. 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.

I'm Carrie Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil.

I ain't really in here. 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 braggadocious. 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. Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese

Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality Chiquis about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow

because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you.

I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything. You're allowed to be doing this. We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, dream sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and today's inner circle flip it'll be'll be Fridays when you're listening to this, a few days back. So there might have been, like we said, Barron and Melania might have flipped by now. But on Friday, a gentleman by the name of Alan Weisselberg, it was announced, was granted immunity, is expected to cooperate. operate and he is a name that I actually heard for the first time from Adam Davidson who is a New Yorker reporter who was the dude who like six or seven weeks ago when Cohen's office was first raided was like oh this is the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency this is going to be like really bad for him and kind of called that like Cohen knew where the bodies were buried and that this was going to be a big problem. So that same reporter yesterday, I heard him say that Allen Weisselberg will be one of the most famous names in the history of the country when it's all said and done, because he's basically been the CFO for the Trump Organization since the 70s.

So he knows literally all the crimes that Trump has committed. All the crimes. And Trump has committed all the crimes. So it works out well. Every kind of crime. Yeah, exactly. So I don't know. It's interesting.

It just seems like one after another. And also Weisselberg was called by prosecutors in a different case and seemed like he was ready to just roll over on Trump immediately. He was like, I don't like this motherfucker. He's like, yeah, he did it. He did that shit. If anybody wants his power, it was like he did that shit. Guilty as fuck.

He crushed my yogurt. The thing is, Adam is 71, right? Yeah. Yeah. So I'm like, Trent, why you not? What's y'all playing? Y'all gonna murder him or what? Make it look like an accident?

If we've learned anything from this presidency, it is that all conspiracy theories must be wrong or at least any conspiracy theories involving these people because it's just nothing but incompetence they had no plans to get away with these crimes right they had no plan in place to actually get away with the crime right trump was like no i'll just tell people i didn't do it right and they'll believe me as our as our resident like scam expert you must just be shaking your head well i'm shaking my head at trump but i'm impressed with adam weisselberg because, you know, when you get offered immunity, it's because you yourself was committing mad crimes as well. You know what I mean? Like, you didn't

kill the person, but you definitely dug up a little bit of the land to put the body in. You know what I mean? He was like, hold on, you getting tired, Trump? Let me get that shovel, fam. I got you. You weren't involved. I love to see a movie about the Trump Organization from his perspective played by Lacey. Just be like, hmm.

Like, Trill, who I got to pay off? Okay, she on Hollywood and what? Okay, Hollywood and I'm going to go pay her right now. Here go your money, bitch. Don't say nothing. It's just me paying people up all day right like all right what we doing now russia ah shit all right when we get that they got good vodka over there let's go let's go so i just think he's the best scammer because he got to commit all the he crime adjacent you mean? So he was in the cul-de-sac of crime.

He was the CFO for a crime family. Right. That's the cul-de-sac of crime. And he has now been granted immunity. Right. So that's pretty. But that's dope though. Pretty good deal for him.

Because then he got to live his whole life being shady as fuck. And now is never going to go to jail for it. Like you don't ever want to be the kingpin. You know what I mean? You want to be the henchman who living real good. The guy behind the guy. So, honestly, it feels like all you have to do is send an email in the subject that says, immunity, please, I work for Trump,

and then you got it. You just have to talk. It seems like anyone could get it at this point as long as you've got dirt. Like, this entire organization is filled with people. I'm just like, Trump, why you don't got no muscle? Like, you don't got nobody to intimidate people? Cohen was his muscle. Cohen was the guy who was like, I take a bullet for Mr. Trump.

Do you think Ivanka's going to go for it? Oh, hell yeah. I don't know if she's going to go for it, but she's in trouble if she does not go for it. I think she should. She's got some issues that she needs to get that immunity for everybody protect her uncomfortable ass shoe line she's like who gonna put give bitches stress fractures if i'm not in business okay have you tried on her shoes yes abaca's trump abaca trump shoes are terribly narrow and they immediately hurt your feet as soon as you put them on and they cheap you can't run from the cops in those and i only

buy heels i can run from the cops in nice it's incredibly narrow is the greatest who is gonna sell painful ass shoes for bitches to sit in okay best women's shoes for running from the cops jessica simpson is putting out some real look at that i was about to say you can scale at least a 10 foot fence wow in some of those, okay? Because she was doing it while pregnant, so she knew. Right? She knew. She knew. Jessica got shoe game on lock.

At first, I was laughing. I was like, Jessica, you can't sell no shoes. Then I put them shits on. I said, okay, bitch, stop singing because this is your calling. Uh-huh. And it was. Don't sing no more. She's doing extremely well.

Don't you ever sing another note in your life. I don't want you singing in the shower. But but yes i think that everybody's just rolling over on trump it's crazy to me like there's no loyalty in this they're they're yeah and i mean i think people are smart enough to see that he has no loyalty to anybody so no you know he's not gonna he's not gonna back anybody up obviously but yeah he it's turning into like reservoir dogs where they're all pointing guns everybody's shooting each other who told who right it's the spider-man meme they're just looking at you like we thought cohen went back far with trump but this dude has been running

the family business since 1970 he's a cfoFO, so he has all the literal receipts. And he probably has the evidence that Trump has not in any way stepped back from running his company and any corrupt shit that he did with his company and foreign governments, which, I mean, I would literally be shocked if there weren't some of that. So yeah, that's what's going down on Friday. Republicans have been talking a lot about impeachment. And what they're talking about is basically that the Democrats are going to impeach him. And Sarah Huckabee Sanders last Wednesday suggested that impeachment is, quote, the only message they seem to have going into the midterms talking about Democrats.

is, quote, the only message they seem to have going into the midterms, talking about Democrats. But FiveThirtyEight did an actual analysis of who's talking about impeachment, like actual quotes and interviews and websites and just went through. And it's just completely lopsided that Republicans are talking about impeachment constantly and Democrats are keeping their mouths shut. Right. They're just waiting quietly in the shadows. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, poor thing. She's the same age as Beyonce. I just want y'all to know. Same career.

Yeah. Same career. No, I just think it's crazy that she says that. Like, can you believe this? They have only one message. It's like, are you not reading the news? Right. Like, that's literally your job.

Like, do you not see all this shit no they know they're the best scammers of all because they know if you just say something on tv a lot of people will believe it right it's crazy you just got to be on tv and they're like well they they're on the tv so how could it be a lot right donald trump literally was like how could i be impeached i've done such a good job which i talk about i'm good at this, how could I be impeached? I've done such a good job. I know. Which I talk about, I'm good at this. Right. How could I be impeached?

I've done such a great job is one of the all-time great quotes. And so the Democrats not talking about impeachment, I kind of assumed that was them just playing coy. Yeah. You know, like, yeah, obviously we're going to impeach this motherfucker. Why do we even say that? We take over the House. But they would actually need 67 senators to vote to remove Trump from office in order to actually like have the impeachment get him out of office.

So and they're not going to win the Senate. They might not even have a majority in the Senate after the midterms. And I mean, they might not win the majority in either house, but even if the blue wave comes, they're definitely not going to have 67 senators. So they would need like over a dozen Republican senators to agree to remove him from office. So it might make more sense for them to like leave an ineffective executive in office and like let him stick around until 2020 because he would be the easier one to run against and also he is great for them pointing at like what what the democrats are now going to be running on is like we're not corrupt and we're trying to help

people we don't do crime is like literally there's a new revelation every week about like some shit he did to literally line his own pockets at the expense of other human beings. So, you know, it's going to be- Trump doing crime is like a fresh cup of coffee every morning. I know. He did crime every day. He's the best part of waking up. Exclusion in your cup.

There you go. Like every day he was doing a crime. Like this is too much crime. Somebody clip that for us. The other possibility, Super Producer Nick Stumpf was pointing out, Trump's biographer has predicted for a while that this will end with Trump resigning with some sort of bullshit about the deep state and the media to claim

whatever victory he can and just try and save face. I don't see him trying to save face. I feel like he's the type that he's going to go down with the ship. He's on the Titanic. He's like, no, no, we're good. We're good. It was just a little ice cube. But he's a coward

and like that. So he's a coward. So he likes a fight in the media. But when it comes to actually getting face to face with somebody, he won't fire people to their face. That's how he did Omarosa. That Omarosa call. God damn it. He tried to blame it on everybody else, which is insane. Well, nothing I can do. I'm only the president of the united states of america

what they had told me um so i i don't know i could see him just kind of bitching out and that would be probably strategically the smartest thing for him to do at least at a certain point right to not go to jail thing for him to do was to fake his own death and move to an island. This shit is like if Pablo Escobar actually had become president when he ran. This is literally what would happen. Like, you have done too much dirt to put yourself under a magnifying glass like this.

That's the thing is, I don't understand how people this guilty can just be like, oh, the most high-profile job in the world? Oh, I'll take it. Give it to me. It's like, really? Yeah. You would do that, right? I mean, oh, the most high profile job in the world? Oh, I'll take it. Give it to me. It's like, really? Yeah.

You would do that, right? I mean, that's the amazing thing is the reports from inside the room that he and Melania were in when they were watching the election, Melania was openly weeping, like not with joy, but with like, fuck, we are so fucked. Yeah. And Trump looked like he'd seen a ghost for like the first three hours and then eventually because he is a narcissist was able to like convince himself that oh i got this

i i'm smart enough that i can that's like me when i'm told i have to like co-host this podcast i'm like oh god what oh shit and then the reality set to oh and then my narcissism sits and i'm like you know what whatever i got this and then halfway throughism sits in. I'm like, you know what? Whatever. I got this. And then halfway through, I'm like, oh my God. I don't know what they are talking about. Melania just wanted to marry a rich man and have a better life. She just wanted a shoe and a bag and a nice vacation home. She's like, you promised me no presidencies.

She just wanted a Jessica Simpson. Right. She was just trying to upgrade her life. There was some revelation from last week where it was speculated that she's actively protesting her husband through her wardrobe so that I don't care do you was directly a shot at him and other things that she's wearing

are specifically commentariesaries to mock him yeah as like a fuck you she like hates her i mean it's been pretty clear like she hasn't held his hand in public for and when he tries to hold her hand she's like that's like when she had that uh he did it sweatshirt on yeah i see that one yeah i see what she said she's just drinking poison like take me to the hospital for a few weeks please um so people do think impeachment is a possibility uh the people who the bookmakers in the uk actually do take odds on this and they increased the likelihood of him being impeached to 40 percent uh whereas it was only at 30 percent following the helsinki conference uh which was also bad for him but if

he's okay so he can do like hella crimes and if he's impeached and they don't get the votes he stays in office yes damn That's a sweet deal. You could do mad crime. You just got to get people to vote. Like your crime becomes subject to vote instead of just facts. So do you think I did this? I mean, I did it, but how do you feel about me doing it? You still want me to stay even though I did it?

As we were talking about earlier, he did that interview with Fox News where he said that the stock market would crash and suddenly everybody would be very poor if he were impeached. Yeah. I bet it was sore. People would be like, woo, let's start making all the things like cars and everything. I don't know. America would, I feel like, I need to talk to my father. My father is a stock market expert and he tells me every five minutes what he thinks it's going to be and then it happens. It's crazy. Really? Yeah. That's dope. I need to talk to your dad too. We need to get your dad a

podcast. I'm trying to get my Martha Stewart on. I really should ask him what he thinks is going to happen because he just knows. He has that feeling. I just think it's funny that he would say stuff like this and he knows people are going to believe it. He has that feeling. I just think it's funny that he would say stuff like this. And he knows people are going to believe it. Fear tactics really work. Right. And where's Mike Pence at? Mike Pence has been quiet as hell.

I haven't seen his ass in so long. I know. We recently saw him helping a woman up who fell who was not his wife. Ooh. I bet he was so tempted to do sex with her because he loves doing sex with women. Did he see any ankle? Did she show ankle?

I just remember those things like, Mike Pence touches a woman who is not wife. He's just like, hey, would you like... Yeah, he just shows up every once in a while. His penis immediately flew out of his pants. No, he's really keeping it mum. I think he really thinks that he's about to step into the spotlight. I definitely think he's constantly aware of that possibility. Some people, like you were saying,

have argued that impeachment would be good for the market. Forbes said that if Pence took office and ended Trump's tariffs, it would negate all the dark cloud on the earnings horizon shit that they have been going through, even though the market's been in good shape. Do they really think Pence would help? That's interesting. Yeah. I mean, he's exactly the same. He's the most pro-business politician ever. He was literally invented by the Koch brothers. The Koch brothers heard him have a conservative talk show and were like, okay, this is our guy. And they built him up. They groomed him in a lab. Yes and we're like okay this is our guy and they built him up they groomed him in a lab yes they're like he also looks like a politician so he really does he really looks like

the most presidential dude yeah even though he's a monster in his own way at least he's not going to be so preoccupied with undoing everything obama did because he has no obsession with obama yeah i have a question so if he does get impeached then he has to go in front of Senate, correct? And then they? Yeah. So he has to go in front of the House and then the Senate. Then Senate. And so Clinton, I think, got impeached by the House, but then the Senate acquitted him.

Right. He got impeached so fast for a blowjob. I know. And then we're going gonna let Donald Trump do all the crimes. If we were watching C-SPAN, they'd just start listing everything he did. We'd be there all goddamn day. They're like, look,

do we really need to say it all out loud? He did all this shit, okay? Bill Clinton got a blowjob and he was impeached immediately. Well, he did lie that one time. Yeah, he lied. It's not like Trump lies. But impeaching Trump for Pence

would be basically going from a kleptocracy to a theocracy. There's a book out called The Shadow President about Mike Pence that says that he believes he's on a, like, quote, mission from God. Oh, Lord Jesus. And not in, like, quote, mission from God. Oh, Lord Jesus. And not in, like, a fun Blues Brothers way,

but in the, like, determination to mold the entire country in the shape of his, like, weird Christian faith. Not that there's anything wrong with Christianity. It's just his is very specific. I'm like, what God are you talking to? Like, look, God had texted me. Yes. And he told me that

we need to start making conversion camps. Yeah. Okay. He's a zealot. He's a well-documented racist. He supports gay conversion therapy. He calls his wife mother. He was like, it worked for me. Wow. He's like, look at me.

Now I'm so horny for women, I can't even be in a room alone anymore. I just have to sit with all these men all the time. Yeah, all the time. All these muscular, young men. Ooh, with the tight suit pants on. But yeah, so this goes back to another reason why they might not be pushing for impeachment. Right.

It just doesn't get better for us. It's a lose-lose. Right. Also, there's the fact that if Pence were to take over after January 20th, 2019, he could finish the term and then run twice for re-election. Oh, God. Yeah. run twice for reelection. Oh, God.

Yeah. It does seem like the better option is just letting Trump try to run again in 2020. Like saving some of the shit, you know, like saving some of the stuff that he didn't just be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. We're good. Just you're going to run for election. Okay, great, great, great. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

Awesome. Just the first debate is just listing his crimes. So I did want to talk about the year 2008. I think you guys were in elementary school at that time. 2008. I was 18. But yeah, please go on. Yeah, I was in high school.

When I was held back until I was 18 in elementary school. I mentioned that I had seen Cro I was a very large 18-year-old. I mentioned that I had seen Crooklyn in movie theaters earlier, and I just got mercilessly shit on. We get it, you're 85 years old. In the pictures. I was a kid. He was like, y'all didn't go to the movie theaters when the man was playing the piano?

What's the last Chaplin film y'all saw? Chaplin was a genius so uh simon rich's dad wrote an article about how 2008 was the year of the american dream died and i don't know he makes some good points like he starts out talking about how if you were standing in the ashes of 9-11 looking looking into the future, and you saw that there had been no subsequent major terror attacks, and that the most admired person in America, according to Gallup, is the nation's first black president, a man no one had heard of at that time,

and that comedy, which is the one art whose currency is laughter, is the culture's greatest growth industry. That was his editorializing. I'll take it, though. Yay for comedy. But he was like, what's not to like about that? And then he points out that actually the mood in America is as dark as it's ever been.

Birth rate is at a record low and the suicide rate is at a 30 year high. Damn. And he's basically points to the 2008 stock market collapse as being the time when this sort of rose-colored glasses that we've had on for the American dream and for, you know, this idea that just hard work and idealism would all lift us up by the bootstraps. Like that those were just kind of taken off and everyone was like, oh, it's a scam. The whole thing is a fucking scam. So sad when that scam unraveled. Yeah. It was a good one.

Yeah, it was really, it lasted for a hundred years. It had a whole brand, White Picket Fence. Yeah. Which is tacky. Just so everyone knows. People still love that shit though. Yo, it's wild too because like that whole time when things like shit was good i feel like everything felt like it was possible and now we're living in a time where i'm just like oh fuck like i saw an

advertisement i'm so millennial i saw a fucking advertisement on facebook that was like experience everything oh nothing and i was like damn that's really what we out here doing that's what we want yeah like i'm renting everything you know you now you can rent a dishwasher yeah you can rent anything so i mean because you rent a dishwasher like yeah no i do my dishes in it and then i pass it to my neighbor you don't gotta own shit it's cumbersome i won't lie like pushing it back and forth. It's the sisterhood of the traveling dishwasher. But it's true. Like owning a home is not even something that I feel like a lot of millennials are thinking about. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Because it's not as possible. All that shit. Because the baby boomers won't die. Yeah. I mean, literally part of the American dream was owning a house, like getting the white picket fence. And as he points out, that was like the foundation of the collapse in 2008 was homeownership. And it was like, yeah, no, none of you could pay for those houses that we said you could pay for.

And the way he put it, he said, when he talks about how we believed that rising tide lifts all boats, and he said, when the tide pulled back in 2008 to reveal the ruins underneath, the country got an indelible picture of just how much inequality had been banked by the top 1% over the decades, how many false promises to the other 99% had been broken, and how many Central American institutions, whether governmental, financial, or corporate, had betrayed the trust the public had placed in them. And then, you know, points out that unlike 9-11, which there was like the 9-11 commission, we were like, you know, there were all these really good books,

Looming Tower, that were like, how the fuck did this happen? And like, who was to blame? We like built a international prison where they could fucking like torture people. But the Great Recession, it was just like, oh yeah, and they all get away with it. And like, none of this shit gets fixed.

That is also like a reason that I think. Doesn't it kind of feel like we all just got a little too cocky? Yeah, we really did. I mean, it wasn't our fault. I mean, but also I think that like with all the deregulation that the Clinton administration did, which was supposed to promote growth, all it did was make everybody like, oh, scamming is so easy now. Like, goddamn. And it's not even a scam that hasn't happened in history before. You take economics, you learn about the whole flower implosion, like that bubble.

The tulip market. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like we've done this before. We know what happens. But we get fucking greedy because we're American. But the biggest tragedy of 2008 is really Jesse McCartney's career. You know what I mean?

Like, he was popping. He had songs on the Billboard charts. And now, I mean? Like, he was popping. He had songs on the billboard charts, and now, I mean, it's over for him. Who? Jesse McCartney. Exactly. And Katy Perry. I Kissed a Girl came out in 2008,

and now her career is trash, too. She is so annoying. Sorry, Katy. She is annoying. You know, she got a shoe line, too. I just want to help her. So check that out. Get Katy Perry's shoes, y'all.

Help a bitch out, okay? She's a good one. But, I mean, it's crazy because we're constantly innovating, and we can't really go back. So it's like, what is the future for millennials when it comes to ownership? We're definitely not having kids. We cannot afford them. Right. Yeah.

No, I mean, that's why the birth rate is at an all-time low. That's one of my favorite jokes is, like, my mom is like, when am I going to get some grandbabies? And I'm like, do you have grandbabies money? You got grandchildren from coins or not? Because I don't. I can barely support my own mouth. I'm supposed to have little mouths.

Yeah. Although I will say will say seeing the only time i've ever wanted children was when i saw a picture of kim kardashian where north was in the back and she had taken she took the photo oh yeah damn yeah north took the yeah it was like in a bathroom so you could see her little hands like with this huge phone taking this photo of her mom and i was like oh my god and you're, I want a baby to take pictures of me. That is the future of thirst trapping. If only I had a beautiful baby to take photos of me.

You can teach the baby your angles. You got plenty of time to train up a child. That is the most millennial thing you've ever said, actually. But I can't afford one. I can't. Babies are expensive. Jewelry is expensive. I love that there's so many articles.

Somebody like listed all the articles. I was just like, are millennials killing this? Are millennials killing that? It's like, just be cheaper. We'll buy it. Be cheaper for us. All right. We're going to take another quick break.

We'll be right back. 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. I'm Carrie 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 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 in here. 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 braggadocious. 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. Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side,

the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality Chiquis about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified.

Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?

We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And just kind of continuing on with that conversation because, you know, Lacey during the break was saying, well, when's it going to turn around for us? And so 2008 was also a hopeful time because Obama was elected and he ran on hope and change.

He ran on hope. Yes. ran on hope and change he ran on hope yes but you know he also when he was addressing things like the stock market implosion he had the people like on the panels who were also you know wealthy businessmen and like all these tycoons and stuff and it just like it wasn't radical enough and i think that's to be expected because you know it had only just happened and we were still in a previous paradigm. He existed in a different world. And I do feel like people are adapting now to the fact that that world doesn't really work anymore. Right. And just more evidence of that. So the tax cut that the Republicans gave to businesses earlier this year, you know, the promise was that it was going to pay for more jobs and higher salaries for workers.

And what we've seen instead is a lot of stock buybacks. instead is a lot of stock buybacks. I don't know if you guys have heard about stock buybacks, but if you pay attention to the market, they're constantly talking about how this is what all the big Fortune 500 companies are doing. They're buying back stock, which I didn't really know what that meant. So I wanted to research that. And basically, they just buy back stock from private people who own it out in the stock market, and it makes the current stock more valuable. And that's basically all it does. It just makes there less out there.

Yeah, it makes it more intriguing. Smaller supply. So it basically just makes the people who already own the stock richer, but it doesn't add anything. There was this article in Fortune where they were talking about why this is sometimes not the most advisable. First, they were like, well, it's really good because it will make your stock more valuable. But then they were like, but on the other hand, your company isn't investing in anything. They're just making themselves richer. I'm like, that's not good. And JP Morgan estimates that repurchases in 2018 will jump 51%

from last year's mark to $800 billion. And the median return on investment is 14% annually for companies that do stock buybacks, while the rest, the S&P 500's return is 16%. So critics point that it's a misallocation of capital. They're spending money on buybacks instead of investing in projects that fuel longer term success, which is how the whole tax cut was- And fuel the economy. Right, exactly. It's not fueling the economy. It's just making rich people richer. Which is, I mean, I think that there's a tide turn on all of that, though. Like, because the top 1% has more than the bottom, like, 90.

Right. It starts, I mean, at some point, we're going to get to, like, storming the Bastille. You know what I mean? Like, we're going to get that money one way or another. Like, you're going to give it to us, or we're going to take it. Right. And whether that's going to be something dramatic like storing the Bastille or it's going to be us, you know, electing someone who has more socialist platform.

You know, one of the two is going to happen. I feel like even if we elect someone with a socialist platform, there's so many people in our government, you know, because it's a balanced system that can thwart that. And they're all in the pockets of big business. Yeah. Or the big businesses in their pockets. Right. Like, it's insane. The biggest one for me, the biggest scam is the NRA.

And like, I've just never seen like shootings happen and then their stock goes up. People are like, we need more goods. It reminds me of there's a moment in Talladega Nights where Ricky Bobby has a knife in his thigh and they're like, oh, here, we're going to use another knife to pry that knife out. That's literally what we're doing. We're like, oh, let me get a gun.

So then when you got a gun and we both got guns. I don't know how we stopped that machine. When the little babies died, I said, well, shit. What if we do something real crazy and we make the corporations give the stocks that they bought back to the less percentage people who are way below and give them the opportunity, almost create a program where you teach people who don't have much money how to like, I don't know, this is almost like this pro bono stock program where we teach people how to invest. You sound like a communist right now. I hope you know that.

I'm probably losing my mind listening to this conversation. I just want to teach people to invest and give people money who need it. Hold on one second. I'm going to call the cops. I know I sound crazy, but I am losing my goddamn mind. No, you don't sound crazy. That's exactly how we should be thinking. So that's one thing that Trump keeps talking about, a booming economy.

That's something that people have been talking about since 2008 is like the stock market recovery and how well that's going. And the richest 10% of the country owns 80% of all the stock. And the bottom 80% own just 8%. So yeah, they could use some of that stock. Nobody needs that much fucking money.

I mean, we'll ruin them eventually. We broke, okay? We gonna keep sharing everything that comes out. I'm gonna give my Netflix password to everybody I know. We're not gonna pay for shit. But 57% to 60% of tax cuts are going just right back to people

who already own the stock. And the trickle down isn't real. It's never trickling. No, I've heard people start talking about universal basic income and they're calling it a trickle up economy. And that's actually been shown, too. The only person that you can guarantee will spend the money,

if the government gives them, are people in need, because they need the fucking money. You don't infuse the economy with more money by giving it to people who need the money the least. Because they will save it. Because they're not going to spend that shit. They're just going to save it. The example I was thinking of is my dad goes, just always tell them you're broke. Which is like, but you're not going to spend that shit they're just going to save it the example i

was thinking of my dad goes just always tell them you're broke which is like but you're not broke he's like yeah but you just make them think you're broke it's just like that is crazy your dad is a great scammer i know i'm supporting all the money being like this is how the stock market's gonna go tell them you're broke and it's like but you're driving a bmw tell them you're broke. And it's like, but you're driving a BMW. Tell them you are broke. I started this podcast off saying crazy black broke. That's what I want my reputation to be. It's like, just act like you need the money, even though you clearly don't. And everyone will just believe you. And it's like, oh, God, we're fucked.

Listen, I believe in all these ideals until I get rich. And then listen, I will be voting Republican. I know. If y'all see me in a red listen, I will be voting Republican. I know. If y'all see me in a red hat, don't talk to me. That's why I remember the Gerard Carmichael joke. I'm too rich to be black now.

Gerard Carmichael had that joke where he's like, I just can't wait till I'm rich enough where I'm a Republican and I don't have to do shit like this anymore. I don't have to talk

to any of you. I don't fuck with any of you. So I stop caring about poor people's rights because I'm not one of them anymore. All right, guys, let's check in with the boy watch. So there just seems to be like a birth and babies vibe going on. Charlotte, the world's cutest princess,

is on the cover of one of the magazines. And then they're just making up pregnancies more than usual even. Amal Clooney, they're saying, is pregnant. Meghan Markle, they're saying, is pregnant because she was wearing a flowing skirt and some thought they saw a bump. So that means she's pregnant. I think they, in both cases, they were like,

it's twins! And they have zero reason to believe that anyone's pregnant. Can't they, in both cases they were like, it's twins! And they have zero reason to believe that anyone's pregnant. Can't you imagine being so famous that you can't eat a burrito without people thinking you're pregnant? She's definitely pregnant and there's more than one baby in there because she's fat as hell.

That woman is rail thin. And like a breeze went up her skirt and they were like, oh, definitely pregnant. Look at her, thick. Like you can't do shit no more. I'm sure they are like looking for her to have a baby though. Isn't that the natural next step? Yeah, that seems to be what everybody's hoping for.

She's in her late 30s, so if she's going to have a baby, it's time to cook it on up right now. I know. Do you think the queen's in there being like, it's time? Well, and something I just learned is that the queen, she has guardianship over any babies that they have. The queen just owns their babies immediately. She owns Will's and Kate Middleton's babies.

So if they split, they stay with her. She keeps the baby. There's no custody battle. It's just her. Little royalty cages. But one of my favorite articles teased on the cover of one of the Bloids is, who will be forced into rehab next? Damn.

And they suggest Selena, Paris, Jessica. So let's check in because when you turn to the actual article, it turns out this was written by a psychic because it was published. They couldn't have published it in the last two days. And Ben Affleck is front and center. So somehow they were able to foretell that Ben Affleck, who had been on a bender for the past two months would end up in rehab. A two-month bender. But didn't we know from that tattoo? Yes.

Yeah, that tattoo said it all. It was a cry for help. Were those dragons? What was on it? It was like a phoenix. Who did that tattoo is what I want to know. Who was like, okay, Ben. I know.

You sure about this? Yeah. You're like, all right, bro. Your money green. Here you go. The pho money green. Here you go. The phoenix rising. Here you go. That feels like a tattoo that you go into the tattoo parlor, you like look at what's on sale.

Right. Okay, let me get this. His drive to rehab. Bulk tattoos. Right? The Costco of tattoos. Right. He went on Hollywood Boulevard.

Right. But like the sad thing, I looked at the pictures of them driving him to rehab, and it was just so... It looked like Jennifer Garner really did not want to be bothered. No. I know. We mentioned on Friday's show that they stopped at Jack in the Box, but we failed to mention one of the great details of that photograph, which is that she's handing the jack-in-the-box back to him without looking back. It's the most aggressive, just like, take your fucking jack-in-the-box.

Like when your kids have embarrassed you in the grocery store. And you're like, here you go. You better not say nothing else, Ben. Get your ass up. That is the saddest. It's literally, she's like, I have 20 minutes. Right.

She's like, you know I'm shooting a movie right now. I've got to be at work. I will not walk you in. So some of their other predictions. Hayden Panetteri was apparently a star of spies, caught the troubled actress, wasted outside of Gladstones, which is a seafood restaurant in Los Angeles, barefoot and vomiting.

Is that in Malibu? Yes, on the way out to Malibu, yeah. And just, they said wasted. Oh, well, Malibu's much cleaner sidewalks. If you're gonna be barefoot. Right. That's the rich way to look wasted. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So they're expecting her to be on this list. Maybe she just got a little too lit. I just can't imagine. Rehab is such a personal thing, and addiction is so serious and scary. It is very sad that people are going to take photos of you looking like trash on the way to the rehab facility. I know. But I can't feel bad for Ben Affleck.
