warm baby like it felt very uh you know the military industrial complex needs a new toy, needs a new conflict to fire itself up again. Well, at the same time, like the U S is also sort of doing it both ways. Like, you know, we believe like it won't happen, but we're also,

and I get to that. If you're answering their posturing with your own posturing, but to like, try and sell people like the people on this idea that it's like, I don't know, man, then we're going to, we might need to get another war in Europe.

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. Thank you.

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?

Is it Gaetz or Gaetz? I don't know. Does he deserve the respect of properly pronouncing his name? I just want to make sure I'm mispronouncing it. But that fool is...

Just call him Goatsy. Goatsy. Matt Goatsy. A key witness in the case against him has pled guilty and promised to fully cooperate with prosecutors. guilty um and promised to fully cooperate with prosecutors his attorney told the daily beast that he's been cooperating against uh gates and gates's attorney did not comment as far as i can yeah but it's uh the walls are closing in you think i mean everything was so bad like even a few months ago that now all the only I feel like headlines you see are yep this person's cooperating against them this person too because

this shit is so fucking bad that like the second they're confronted with anything they're like yeah I'll cooperate uh if that helps my sentence be less please please sir uh it is two years since kobe passed and you know people are just taking notice honoring his memory uh probably the most tasteful way i've seen it honored is uh steven a smith um said that kobe made kobe's estate kobe's family can be proud of yeah but i mean to hear that stephen a smith yep took his shit yeah to another level yeah when it comes to just screaming nonsense that's got to be up there you know i'll drag anybody for anything and make an ass out of myself and kobe bryan inspired me to do that also i just love the way he had he centered himself in that memorial always got to got to

got to yeah uh and then uh there's there's a spooky bit of news news in the world of astrophysics. So a mysterious object was spotted last month that unleashed a giant burst of energy every 20 minutes or so and then disappeared several hours later. And this is unusual. This was discovered by astrophysicist, Natasha Hurley Walker. She was scanning radio signals across a huge swath of the cosmos as, as one does. And she and her colleague kind of noticed that happening.

And that's like, like when there's like a star that is going you know exploding or something like that you will see it potentially uh you'll see like it flicker and it'll all happen within the span of like a couple seconds and then it'll go out um but you don't see something that appears to be like on a, uh, that you can like set your iPhone timer to, um, like this. So,

Oh, fuck. Oh, I don't know. The quote from her is it was kind of spooky for an astronomer because there's nothing known in the sky that does that. Um, right.

So I don't know. It's, uh, fuck it. I mean mean maybe we are that we are the luckiest people you know like we're gonna see the end of the world but like and see like aliens just like blow our shit up or something or we'll watch the earth die we're gonna get to see something i feel like my money's on i'm we're gonna see some shit yeah yeah in this lifetime and something like this i don't i don't i love like it's one of those i love um astronomy but i know like barely anything i mean like i passively will engage with it like as i have in the past like with work or things like that but it always fascinates me and then like just read

stories like this that i'm like what is it gonna do to us we don't know enough about it yeah like this this sort of thing isn't that interesting to me because uh i feel like we've already had aliens here so like being like there might be some way the fuck out there uh is just like oh sort of like the superstructure story a few years ago? Like, what's that superstructure? Yeah. Is it a ship? I don't know, man. I mean, yeah, those Navy videos are... They get my heart.

Navy videos, the Australian kids who just like, interacted with a UFO. There's a lot of wild shit. Anyways, I'm not... But I don't't know i don't know i do not have a phd yeah um okay at least you can say that i just want to believe jack uh look i'm i'm when i tell you this i i mean this but we all know that the truth is out there okay it is um

well i don't know where that sound sting came from, but anyways, like I said, I want to believe and I made that up just then. Whoa, what happened when you said I want to believe? What was that? What's going on, Fox Mulder? All right. Fox Mulder.

You know how I remembered their names? Mulder, Mann, Scully, She. older man scully she that's the like mnemonic from your uh education yeah it's like it's like a kid watching the 90s i'm like ah because i didn't watch enough to like know who it was and then when i started watching i was like ah there we go now i got it nailed down yeah even though they clearly say each other's names constantly i still think about the mnemonic desert is one s and dessert is two s's because you always want to get more dessert so it's more s's uh and i remember that not from third grade but when my college girlfriend told me that after i misspelled desert in an email to her like for the second time she

was like all right look asshole like i know you went to public school in west virginia but like we need to we need to nip this in the bud you are embarrassing me uh all right well those are the things that are trending uh we are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
