And that's what they say, if they don't, lean on your school to get them to make it a day.

And it's just like a way to foster communication between parents and the school, which I feel like it's not the children's responsibility. Anyway, these are all international days that are happening. International Day of the Girl Child. It's just uplifting young women and children across the world, I guess. National Fossil Day. Shout out to us.

We brought people through our daily schedule yesterday, Miles, and I think they were surprised. I think we're starting to get some of the respect that we've been owed.

I saw some of Dr. Alex's tweets afterwards. He said he's completely renounced the backing the four day work week after doing our show. He realizes there ain't enough hours in the day to fucking grind. And it's true. You shouldn't sleep. Because sleep is the cousin of death. Amen. Well, Miles, I'm thrilled to be joined by you my co-host mr miles gray

okay it's miles gray aka shawty got low low low low low low low low like snake nipples uh shout out to max r on the discord because i've been using that phrase pretty much non-stop talking about kevin mccarthy because he lowered his snake nipples lowered his snake nipples that boy and that was an original. You weren't quoting anyone. That was just something that I saw you type into the doc and was like, Miles has been possessed by the ghost of James Carville. Yeah. Anyways, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the hosts of You are good a feelings podcast about movies with sarah marshall previous guests it's alex oh my gosh wonderful to be here

alex thanks for joining thanks for joining thank you on such a low-key week i know right yeah i'm so happy that you brought that up because Peter McNichol will factor into something I'm bringing up later. So this is a very exciting two-time Peter McNichol reference, which is amazing. Look, our shows are overlapping in the best way right now. I love that. I love that.

I love that. You're from LA, or I'm saying you're coming to us from LA right now? I'm coming to you from la from koreatown itself which yeah love it the vibe of which i've started describing as uh if john carpenter directed an episode of night court that's how every day feels around here and i love it so much yeah koreatown is uh is its own very particular vibe it's that people my friends

who are from korea or you know go back to korea a lot or like it's like koreatown in los angeles is like a time like you stepped into a time machine to korea from like the late 70s early 80s like korea now is like this super modern place and right like la korea town is just everything stopped in the early 80s and it's tremendous i love it so so so much it is it's pretty cool it's wonderful it feels like yeah like kind of it's like uh time square in the 80s yeah It has Times Square in the 80s vibes. But then underneath the surface, it's like modernizing too. Because you're like, whoa, this building looks old as shit. And then you're like, what is this modern fucking place I just walked into?

For sure. And not long ago, the other day, I intervened with someone who was fucking with this girl in the street. And he pulled a knife. And I talked to him. I was like, hey, maybe get rid of the knife. And he just threw girl in the street and he pulled a knife and i hell yeah i talked to i was like hey maybe get rid of the knife and he just like threw it in the street he's like i'll get rid of it see watch me get rid of this knife like that to me is like the vibe of every day in your face oh yeah so i love it so much there i just threw it in the street i was like yeah no that was actually you're not owning me that's what I was hoping you would do.

Oh, yeah. Make me. You just did. I really appreciated his compliance in that situation. Yeah, that is nice. Yeah. Drop my weapon. Oh, yeah, I'll drop my weapon.

And then I dropped their weapon. What else should I do? What else should I do? Go to therapy? Yeah. Fine. i do what else should i do go to therapy yeah fine koreatown has the highest concentration of abandoned malls that uh like i just i'm making that up but like it seems like i i have gone to so many appointments because i live like right on the border of koreatown and i go to anytime i'm

going to an appointment in koreatown i feel like it is inside of a mall that is like mostly just stores that closed down a decade ago. And then like one like thriving grocery store. It's like, oh, yeah, it is wild how like they rot in slow motion, like the little shopping centers in L.A. where it's like there's that one business keeping it alive and then everything else looks like that scene like eight millimeter where like Nicolas Cage is trying to find snuff films like in an underground market. Yeah, it's all. Yeah, it's it's wild. It's wild out there. And then like one store that sells the fuzziest, softest pajamas in the world. But it looks more like a garage sale than like any

sort of official sale doesn't have a sign yeah yeah above it of course you gotta know where to go but don't don't don't inhale don't breathe in too closely to those fuzzy pajamas because there's a lot of microplastics oh yeah microplastics central these places alex we are thrilled to have you we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things that we're talking about in this episode. We're going to be talking about a new QAnon single just dropped. It's a hot one. We might talk about Cheesecake Factory being one of the great forces of nature that we have left apparently keeping america's economy afloat we might even talk about skittles there's a there's a myth going around that skittles have

been banned in california and that is incorrect that skittles should have been banned in california but they they have not been so don't don't. We're still free to imbibe cancerous candy. Don't worry. Yeah. Gavin Newsom's still on the side of the corporations. Yeah. Don't worry. Don't worry.

All of that, plenty more. But first, Alex, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? The other day, or yesterday, yesterday i guess i was looking up terry the dog that played toto and the wizard of oz because i was at hollywood forever the other day they have a little statue of terry and my favorite toto fact that came from looking looking up terry and toto is uh uh toto the dog was buried in 1945 because it died of old age and then its body was displaced

uh when putting in the ventura freeway and so terry's terry's grave was disturbed poltergeist style and that's why there's cemetery style pet cemetery style well. And so now there's a statue slash monument at Hollywood Forever that is not substantiated by a body. Wow. Wait, so do we know where Terry's corpse is? It's either just part of the freeway. Yeah, it's either part of the freeway or it was discarded in the demo to weigh the ground.

Right, right, right. And they're digging it up. They're like, a bunch of small boxes I'm digging up, boss. Yeah, I don't know, man. Just throw them in the dumpster. Which also led to, like, looking up other famous dogs' names,

and my other favorite one is Spuds McKenzie, as everyone remembers, ideally, from the 80s. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. The kind of, like, the beard boy.

Was it Michelob Coors? I think it was Coors. Was it Coors? Or was it Bud Light? Bud Light. Yeah, it was Bud Light it course yeah or was it but that's like but yeah it was but like yes number one party dog spuds mckenzie's real name is honey tree evil eye or it was and i think that that's the best dog honey tree evil eye honey tree evil eye evie for short apparently later died a spot on the eye yeah yeah later died of terrible liver failure that's exactly right where i went when i looked it up as i was like oh liver failure at 10

yeah yeah cute alcoholism so there's how two famous dogs died or didn't get their proper burial also and also like they had you know they're misgendering Spuds McKenzie. Yep. Evie, female dog. And then, yeah, we're all like, hey, what's up Spuds? Hanging out with the bikini chicks. Hell yeah.

Yeah, Evie was a queer icon. Yeah. Oh, look at us. Look at us. Well, I always assumed Spuds was a girl. That's weird. I really like that about you. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I was very progressive as a five-year-old. You are about you yeah i guess oh yeah i was very progressive as a five-year-old you are you are and i'm an i'm an 80s cave child i was like that boy that boy hanging out with bikini women uh what is something alex you think is uh overrated uh this week i think having having an opinion that you feel like you really need to share immediately i feel like yeah yeah speaking on things that you haven't read about or have no experience with uh big overrated stating allegiance to uh particular foreign policy campaigns without knowing anything about them yeah these things are you know i know that this is like an old man complaint but the internet's kind of like hey if you have an opinion share it here i don't think you need to all the time right right even if you don't just like kind of make one up and just go with it and then state it as if you yeah zealously put it

forward yeah right right right yeah a lot of people i feel like are had to like have to jump in with takes all the time when you don't you don't always have to and i get that the internet makes it feel like the spotlight is on you and everyone is waiting for what you're gonna say but you can just say i'm just kind of just kind of just just checking this out uh having my own feelings about it i'll address them uh if i feel appropriate publicly whenever that happens absolutely and i think like there's like a symptom of a feeling of like powerlessness with that. It's like, I think everyone feels like generally powerless. And they think that like if they immediately have a take on something or share it immediately

or whatever, it like might do something and it won't. And it's fine to not know for a minute. So, and that's especially, you know, obviously this is a big international news week and that's uh when this happens more more often than not yeah it's it's it's really apparent like when you see so how many celebrities just deleted shit so quickly when you're like hold on did you are you doing this because you feel like everyone's posting about the thing i have to also post about the thing uh right oh this is okay i'm not i'm not actually sure what foreign policy is so i'm gonna i'm just gonna delete that yeah yeah i don't know

i get all my foreign policy information and ideas from jack black yeah to see where he came down and fortunately he came through with a heater. So we're all good here. It's such an overshare week that I know exactly what Jack Black said. So that's where we're at. Wait, did Jack Black come out with... Don't worry, Jack Black waited. Jack Black waited.

We're good. Oh, okay. It's just one of those, like... All right, JB. You know. Yeah, it does feel like It was just one of the like, yeah. All right, JB. You know? Yeah. It does feel like people are hurting in a very particular way that they are asking people to. Like a lot of the things that are going viral are like, come out and say what you think about this or else you're not doing the right thing.

So I also understand why people are making this mistake you know yeah no doubt i i think especially it's just like especially important and it's always been important to like pause generally but like now as it seems that like every place we get information has been particularly the one owned by elon musk has been crushed and stripped of context and sort of like disinformation is increasingly more prevalent by the day yeah it's it's maybe a perfect time to hone your reflex to find you know to substantiate your news oh 100 i mean this was like opinions on this was like this was the moment i was like i can't use twitter for shit anymore now right like it's only for jokes it's only for jokes because i've dude i on the other one like i i fell

for like what i sadly mistakenly had regurgitated something that was not true on the show about the eight billion dollars being okayed from the administration to go to israel and that was like that was shared by a couple accounts that i was like oh i think they have their shit together now i'm like it's a fucking absolute cesspool now so apologies for any listeners who thought uh that was actually a true fact was in fact not and i'm like all right sticking to actual like legitimate news sources as usual because even the times that like you know journalists or people who appeared as journalists were sharing things were very quickly we're out of that era and it's so unreliable to the point that like like i've i've just gone through thread after thread of people

who are like disinformation misinformation specialists i'm like here are the most prevalent things that are being talked about like this week on this platform. And I'm like, this is useful because so much discourse is shaped by Twitter still. Fortunately, I think most people just come to us for like lifestyle things and like how to get to Lambeau and how to live their life, not necessarily for information. No, no, no. Well, yeah, considering that it's mostly just our opinions, man. Yeah. What is something, Alex, you think is underrated? Especially now that it's like for many the only time of the year where they watch horror movies. I really want to recommend Bones and All, which came out last year.

And it's a horror movie starring Timothee Chalamet. Oh, yeah. And it's tremendous. Is it really? Yeah, it's a horror movie starring timothy chalamet oh yeah and it's tremendous and i think is it really yeah it's wonderful and i think all of i think it got overlooked because i don't know just where do movies come out now and who knows about them but it's yeah it's it's uh it was fantastic and i'm a huge fan i'm a huge fan of the texas chainsaw massacre and it feels a lot like it's related to that spiritually without feeling like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I just saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the first time last Halloween. How's that? The night after we ran out of candy, closed the front door, and my friend and I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre and holy shit,

did not need to go that hard. It was so fucking good i totally thought bones and all was like a prestige type thing like i didn't certainly know it was a horror movie oh yeah it's like a it's like a like a queerish road horror movie and it's it's really tremendous and it like goes fucking hard in ways that you would not expect yeah highly highly recommend it and it's gorgeous it's gorgeously shot for a second for a second i thought you said bones in doll what the fuck is that i mean that'd be scary as hell i know i was like you just wrote your own it was in a movie called bones in doll like

that's the most fucked up idea. He's like, this doll's haunted. I'm like, let's x-ray it, honey. I'm telling you, it's a doll. There's bones! It's got bones! That's the most unsettling concept. I know.

Just for me, mishearing it. Wow. This doll has human bones in it. Yeah. Alex, I'm always looking for things to watch so i mean thank you for bones and all what you have it you have a film podcast i do as mentioned what what are some other can you can you hit us with some other like kind of overlooked films we just we just covered or this week we have an episode coming out and the best nightmare in elm street

sequel that is not new nightmare which in my opinion is Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors. And we just covered that. And then so like the range of movies we cover is everything from like A Star is Born to A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors. So yeah, those are like as far as horror goes. Oh, and have you ever seen Manhunter? The original Hannibal Lecter film? I haven't. But I have listened to a four-hour podcast about Manhunter.

It's time to watch Manhunter. It's time to watch it. Because it's Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter, right? It's so good. Like, Hannibal Lecter should, it's my favorite portrayal of Hannibal Lecter, not just because I'm trying to be cooler than the zeitgeist in this case but because it's bitchier and i think the character works better as like just kind of like a bitchy canon head canonically gay guy right yeah i mean anthony hopkins is kind of a bitch as hannibal lector for no no doubt uh brian cox is i'm i'll be excited to hear about your true

bitch just fully distilled like sneering it's great it's great and then also dennis farina plays a character who later gets played in silence the lambs as like an fbi director but it's like dennis farina and it's so like unrestrained Pennsylvania cop. And I really like that. But yeah, you'll enjoy it. It's like Miami Vice multiplied by Silence of the Lambs. Amazing. Miles, do you have a favorite horror movie?

Are you a horror? Dude, I fucking hate horror movies. Because I'm so like, I'm already like, I know I'm chill. Like most of you are like, oh, you're so chill. I'm like i know i'm chill like most people like oh you're so chill i'm like kind of on edge a lot of the time yeah like watching like jump scare shit isn't my bag like i like this i like suspenseful films but like when it's like yo man have you seen that new paranormal no no no i haven't even watched paranormal okay because it's too close to

paranormal activity. I'm not fucking with it. I like that you have a ready response for people who are suggesting you watch, like, paranormal activity and it's a Paranorman pun. I don't even watch Paranorman, dude. Get out of my face with this. Now, why don't you get the fuck out of here? I mishear people all the time to make things scarier.

This guy said bones and all. I said bones in doll. It's really revealing. Yeah, like, and it's like, it's wild too because, you know, I like to smoke weed and watch movies and, like, kind of take in my art like that a lot of time. And that just makes me more scared. I'm like, oh, fuck that. Nope, nope. I love horror and I can't do, I can't watch it high.

I went to see the terrifying movie Mandy High and that was the last time ever I'll ever do it. Because I get in my head. I can do it in a group setting where it's like, yeah, you haven't seen this? We're going to put it on. We're all going to watch it. Then I'm like, fine. But I won't on my own seek it out.

I'll never be like, no, we're not watching this because I don't like it. It's just for me, my preference. If there's a choice i'm probably shying away from it that's like you know the scream movies are like the last time i was going to the theater to pay to see people get like knifed up like that yeah knifed up my favorite horror movie is uh the youtube compilation every single jason kill in the friday the 13th french i love that i watched that at

least once a year that like i was such a like i just loved the friday 13th movies exclusively for the kills and oh boy the other that that's the invention of the invention of youtube that was like the thing that i was like looking forward to i was like okay here we go give me this please the the other movie that i the reason i was at hollywood forever was seeing the adams family which they played there the adams family values and i it's my new i haven't seen that movie in 15 or 20 years it's goaded it's so great it is it's goaded with the sauce it's goaded with the sauce is it fully wow i'm telling you i every i love everything about it from like the nouveau riche uncle fester with there's a line in the movie that i picked up for the first time that suggests that Thing jerks Fester off. And I was like,

what? Wait, what was the line? It was something like Fester goes in and tells Gomez that he's like something along the lines of like, I've always dreamed that I could have the love of another person, but I never imagined that it was going to happen. And Gomez

says, well, there's Thing, and then you see things like shaking like it's like little bodies oh my god that thing yeah it has certainly oh no been there with esther wow yeah wow and there's the whole camp chippewa thing oh it's fucking that got some it's real death of america tone really got some cheers when I saw it with a bunch of people. Oh, yeah. Especially when Wednesday just goes on that monologue before they fuck up that Thanksgiving. You're like, oh, hell yeah.

The best. So is Adam's Family Values better than Adam's Family, the original? Yeah. I think so. And can I skip right to that with my kids? Yeah. Yeah. It's the same.

So they can see the implication of thing it's it's also like more or less the same the the my friend who i went with pointed out that it's the same exact storyline yeah as the adam's family so you can go straight to adam's family values i would actually encourage it it's the funnier yeah yeah because the first one just about like fester proving he's fester if he's not fester first one is just about Fester proving he's Fester or if he's not Fester. This one is just about what's going to happen with Fester and his fake wife and is she actually a murderer?

Like I said, I've seen it more times than the original one. It's perfect. And it's got that MC Hammer song. It sure does. They do what they want to do, say what they want to say, live how they want to live, play how they want to play. Play how they want to play with Fing they want to say, live how they want to live, play how they want to play, how they want to play with fig. Yeah, exactly.

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

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel 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,

We have really good taste in music here uh i don't know if you're aware alex but so we're really excited about

new drake album so far an l i can't even get through it best have you listened to it it's the best album of the year dude what are you talking about okay i know you know i know i know you're doing a bit we've we've consistently been like, he hasn't put out a good album in a long time. So look into the singles here and there. Drake album. And then when's the next QAnon single going to drop? Exactly. Like we got Kendrick.

We got Mr. Moran, the Big Steppers. You know, waiting for that Rihanna. But when are we getting the Q? The QQ? I think the last one may have been. Nah. Nah, nah, nah. Nah. Q. Like Q drops. Not my I think the last one may have been, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

Q like Q drops. Not, not my boy schoolboy Q. He was ahead of his time. Yeah, he was good. If he went schoolboy Q and R. Um,

but yeah, like I think the last one we talked about, maybe the Q and R on overlap of the January sixers jail choir, where they were all singing through like a prison telephone and they released that as a single and everyone was like how the fuck did they record that what that may have been that one is that was that after

the target one no that was made I think before the target okay yeah yeah yeah target one was so good yeah yeah yeah I think was that 4g auto blow also was that is that what his name is the mega rapper yeah yeah 4g whose dad owns or whose grandpa started auto trader and he's a nepo rap fail son anyway that's the funniest nepo connection auto yeah of the auto trader dynasty yeah dude my grandpa started trader. Now I'm a rapper who raps at the insurrection.

But the latest- 4G auto, is that because 5G gives you COVID? Is that why he's 4G auto? I haven't even, that's so fucking funny. 4G auto trader. Okay. So the latest one, you know, he's been rapping at the insurrections.

We talk about the people screaming from jail in the form of a song. But the latest one, their latest piece of art, you know, is, again, the usual. Straw man arguments, projection, outright lies. QAnon and by extension, Antivax World have come together to let the world know that despite never being in any real danger, materially or otherwise, they will not be scared into leaving their cult. Okay. Very inspirational. And the cast is a literal who's who of the biggest stars of this like world. So again, Forgiato Trader blow is on there. Disgraced General Michael Flynn is there. A guy that failed at American Idol is the one leading this. A lady that was in the Pussycat Dolls is also here. A canceled real housewife of New Jersey and many others that

are so obscure. Like, I'm glad that I don't know who they are because typically I'm like, Jesus, I'm so online. Like, I hate that that I don't know who they are because typically I'm like, oh, Jesus, I'm so online. Like, I hate that I know these people. There were more people that I didn't know than I knew. So there's that. Like this guy, King Bao, B-A-W, he is a UFC fighter that isn't that great. Considering how he explains why he loses fights

after like a, after a bout. So this is just before we get into the song just to give you a flavor of the kind of people that are here this is king bao talking about why he lost that last fight it was real close but let me tell you why though last fight i was tired i was exhausted i'm about to launch this nft that's going to change the fight game and i put in 30 all-nighters before that fight i had herpespes before that fight. Two outbreaks in the span of a week. I'm here. I'm healthy.

Let's go. Whatever. It doesn't matter. I fight. All right, man. All right. All right. Working on an NFT and some herpes outbreaks.

Do you know when you were at school and you were just daydreaming and the teacher calls on you and is like, what do you think about that? And then you just invent some shit about William Shakespeare. That's exactly what that just felt like. Yeah, I know. What do you think about that? And then you just invent some shit about William Shakespeare. That's exactly what that just felt like. I don't know. What do you think of Shakespeare? I've been up for 30 days straight. I have herpes.

Two major outbreaks in the past. That's the worst that the riffing can go. Where your mouth is working connected to a brain that's still half asleep. Yeah, 100%. Two major outbreaks is so alarming. What happened? I hope that's under control and I'd imagine that maybe does

preclude you from fighting that close to people when you're wrestling like that. Alex is one of the foremost sleep experts also having reviewed the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise recently. Wouldn't 30 days in a row kill you? Like, that's not good.

I feel like it explains his disposition. But, Jack, you don't understand. I'm a dream warrior, okay? He's powered by the promise of this NFT that's going to change the fight game. That's... Oh, goddamn, I love just the clarity of just it's so easy now that when anybody's like nft i'm launching these new nfts it's like all right okay goodbye files done yeah you're like all right i'm out of here thanks for that but anyway we digress because

this is about the music, not the NFT project. That's going to change the fight game or him trying to manage his outbreaks. The music, it is so terrible and auto-tuned to the point that everyone has the same singing voice almost. So here's a snippet. I just want to give you all a taste of the chorus going into the verse where you'll hear 4G auto trader, then Michael Flynn with some of the most painful autotune ever. And again, shout out to Robin Panacchia for pointing this out online because this is just honestly, it's a gift for everyone. Everybody looks like this sounds too.

I know. You can take all our money, but you can't have our soul. You could burn down our buildings, and we'll still find our home. We will all stick together, and we'll never surrender. That's the Pussycat Doll. We won't give up our freedom. Here's Forgiato, Traitor. Michael Flynn, take it away.

Ah! What? Okay. That's it. We don't need to hear it anymore. Michael Flynn. Without a doubt, the most shocking thing I've ever seen. It cuts from a bunch of people who look like influencers to Michael Flynn looking like the bad guy in Poltergeist.

But wearing a matching t-shirt over his sweater. Yeah. Everyone's got that freedom shirt. Again, if you weren't clearing the lyrics uh you can take all our money but you can't have our souls those usually i thought the transaction was you get money in exchange for the soul rather than like we're taking your money now give me your soul okay i've i'm not heard that anyway you can to who's taking their money are they talking to donald trump their money? Are they talking to Donald Trump? The fucking woke mob, dude.

The woke mob is taking their money? I don't know. It's the same thing. Is that who invented the NFT that took all your money? The woke mob? It was actually King Bao, man. I put a lot of money in this NFT, man. What's going on with that?

Also, you can burn down our buildings and we'll still find a home not sure when you're built okay uh we'll all stick together and we'll never surrender we won't give up our freedom so yeah were they hoping to be that like red-headed conservative country singer was that the hope here or like what was what were they what's the deal it's hard to know it's hard to know i feel like their influence is better maintained when they're not getting attention like yeah this is a real tell unfortunately it's like dumb auto-tuned we are the world yeah next yeah and we are the world we are the victim right yeah it's just so many people i was like at the end they did that guy who looked like a duck dynasty guy he's a rapper called misis of course so again a lot of figures that i'm i'm unaware of but they've all come together

to just reinforce that idea that like hey man we're getting we're just getting right out on a rail here because we're telling people to to not use science to trust and whatever here we are man they look uncomfortable in the being in the same room to be honest with you like they don't i don't know the we are the world like it was like oh look at that that's a party but they all look like bob dylan yeah we are like they all look they look like they're kicking yeah yeah yeah yeah so i don't know what this leads to i guess it could just be maybe like a grift for the guy who because the failed american idol guy is the one who was using the least amount of auto-tune although just a little bit and it's like it's he's the one sort of being like it's me jimmy levy that's my this is my track with all the the fucking q anon all-stars so did the rich men

from richmond guy is he not even there they couldn't even get him like he's not he's not yeah he he wasn't about the q anon thing like they he was he was trying to be like it's not i'm not obese i'm not on the side yeah right it's at least that guy other than against spending welfare money on unhealthy foods yeah exactly i think i mean at least at least that guy like could play a fucking guitar right you know like seeing like michael flynn michael flynn just auto-tuned beyond recognition is very funny. It's really disconcerting to like, you can tell he needed like many takes because the way they cut around him, like,

you see him deliver one single word. Like, like watch. Oh, he's already mouthing off beat. They keep cutting. They keep cutting to him about to deliver a line or just delivered a line. It's like in between breaths.

It's so I wonder, is he like so like toxically masculine that he can't even pretend to sing? He sounds like his singing voice here sounds like jordan peterson which is great too but also like it they have a ringer in like that it's not really a ringer jordan peterson yeah it looks like they the the rest of the people not charismatic at all like not approaching we are the world but if like the we are the world had like suddenly cut away to like an nfl football coach all of a sudden was like right in like in the chorus for some reason yeah like ditka's singing for some reason like that's that's kind of what michael flynn is giving like part way through you're like i think he's like breaking his performance to tell the director like i'm not

doing this crap i thought that maybe he was giving, like, a rousing, he was giving, like, a rousing speech about why they should be doing this. I really like your take better, is that he was telling them that he doesn't want to do this. Yeah, there's one point where he's, like, giving, they should cut away to him, and he's, like, giving, like, a five thing with his hand.

Like, right, you know, and they took away five of our rights or something, but I bet it was actually like, you have five more minutes until I'm out of here. Yeah, I got to go, man. I know I said where we go one, we go all, but I shouldn't have gone here with y'all. Sorry. No one told me a pussycat doll would be here.

This is humiliating. The vibes are all fucked up. I never thought we would, and I don't say this with disrespect, because I know that there's been an ICP renaissance and reassessment, but I never thought that there would be a darker musical gathering than the gathering of the Juggalos. And that was it by a factor of 20. Yeah. Well, at least they have, even Juggalos, And like that was just, that was, that was it by a factor of 20. Like that was.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, like at least they have like, even like juggalos, like they have a common culture of like the music where these people's common culture is just like deception and like dishonesty. So it's like a weird. Yeah. There's like a nice camaraderie among juggalos. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. There's no woo woo si Sipping Faygo with that. This one may just have in common, like grift. Like we're, we're, we love grift. Yeah.

Michael Flynn's like, I like to sell secrets to adversarial nations for money. Then like the fucking UFC fighters, like I've been kicked in the head so many times. I think NFTs are still a thing. Yeah. There's a white guy who's like, I just want to say the N word.

Like, how do we all get in on this? Will you give me permission? hey hey so do i get the pass now and like one of the black people in the video is like what you know pass oh god uh i gotta go all right uh let's take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about other stuff.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry,

Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day,

and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel 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.

And we're back. And this report, Miles, from Moody's, nothing has ever made more sense to me in my life than the news that the Cheesecake Factory is propping up America's consumer economy. Everything. Everything. You know, Moody's likes to get in the business of business and put out their little analyses about what's going on. They talk a lot about malls, apparently for Mean Girls Day that we completely fucked up. So sorry about that.

On October 3rd, humiliating. They released this like report on like the state of certain malls and like the top, like the observations are like the most obvious one at the top was pretty clear to everyone. Obviously, like e-commerce has like obliterated mall traffic. Then there are a few others I didn't really think of, but like totally makes sense in terms of the survival of a mall. Like people prefer lifestyle centers or outlets that are more that aren't enclosed because people just kind of these days rather park and walk directly to the store they need to go to rather than walking through nine dead department stores right uh just to get to like the inside part of the mall like we used to have to and having like non-traditional businesses like an arcade or trampoline park or a bowling alley helps like plays a i guess a somewhat immeasurable role in the ability of a mall's survival factor,

survival rating. But here's the other part, right? Malls that do not have a Cheesecake Factory are 21% more likely to be behind on loan payments than malls that do have a Cheesecake Factory. Yep. And they're like, and again, they're like, we're not saying, you know, the causation is correlation here or correlation is causation here. But it's clear that people go to a fucking cheesecake factory. It's like having an Apple store.

People, if you got it there, people will go to it. Maybe it has somewhat to do with the layout. But these are the kinds of stores that no matter what, people will be like, oh, yeah, I have to go to the mall because that's where the Apple store is. Or now the Cheesecake Factory. And now I'm just like, what is it? Is it the brown bread? Is it the menu as thick as phone books? Yeah, I've been saying for a long time, I think the Cheesecake Factory menu is the height of Western colonial culture.

it is like the thing that will be in our like the the wing of the museum dedicated to this period in history and this place in in the world right where does pf chang how did they fucking fit this many places into a single kitchen like that pf chang that doesn't make sense pf changs but like pf changs they like took two things from the pf chang's menu and like that's in there you know like that at all they did it all i i'm from i i grew up as a teenager i worked at the mall for five six years into my like into college and uh and our mall was like and i grew up white trash and so our mall the the anchor restaurant was a rub Tuesdays, which is a real number. But like when I grew up again, like Cheesecake Factory was like aspirational. Like you, it was like a fancy. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Our family wasn't going out to the Cheesecake Factory every night, you know, like once a year, maybe. Yeah. One of the first dates that like I went on, like as a freshman in college, I was like, fuck here. I'm like, we're here, dude. Like I've saved a little money and it's time to take Shorty to the Cheesecake Factory. Oh, yes. I was so fucking excited.

Babe, I love you. And so, and therefore, we're doing it. Therefore, we're going to the Cheesecake Factory. And I'm having chicken littles again. Don't criticize my choice. I was a big, as a teen, as a feral teen, I was a big like let's go with your girl to the restaurant and like go to what I considered a nice restaurant, which in retrospect always like incredibly cheesy. Yeah. But yeah, I loved that.

Go to Red Robin or something. Yeah. Bottomless fries forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Budruckers. Those are like the early date spots where you're like, these are places my parents would take me. And therefore, this is all I have in terms of knowledge of a restaurant for a date. This is the only proximity to adult knowledge I have. Yeah, exactly. It's like, I know there was a guy from my town named Pete Finkel. And he would play like contemporary covers of songs

at the Eastside Mario's, like Green Day's Time of Your Life. And you'd go and see this guy from your town play music at Eastside Mario's on your date with some, whatever, some girl. And it was so of a time, it was remarkable. I really miss how weird that was. The simpler times. The simpler times.

The simpler times. Have you ever, can you think of a Cheesecake Factory that's gone? Have you ever seen a Cheesecake Factory go out of business? I've seen one relocate. Against its will? Yeah, no. I've seen one relocate very intentionally. Cheesecake Factory decides when it's done with you.

But the Cheesecake Factory is not, yeah, it'll just be like, we're going gonna move over here to bless this other establishment with our presence never like no one's coming here everyone goes and these things are probably going to be standing that people are going to do an analysis and be like these are made of roman concrete that's why they still stand to this yeah it's the only thing that's left standing of america in 3 000 years is just cheesecake factories yeah i like it's it's interesting is this because the cheesecake factory brings so much people to you know so much business or does the cheesecake factory have like some magic understanding of like where to locate you know based on all the all the malls i know that do

or do not have a cheesecake factory like it's like the high-end shit yeah the balls that are like predisposed to already have people who are regularly going to come with with disposable income are hitting that cheesecake factory exactly i'm shocked that our mall that had that had ruby tuesdays as an anchor is still trucking because it is oh yeah the main mall in south portland maine is still somehow vibrant do you know what they put into the what they put into the department stores like are they are they now like the bubble world oh you mean like what did they replace all the selfie stores yeah i don't i don't know although like that is that's some of my there's a there's a mall unfortunately that may i can't remember but there's a mall in portland

oregon that has like a full comic and zine shop in like a spot and that's i love that it feels like truly you know sideways apocalyptic in a way that i enjoy yeah yeah i feel like that there's probably there's got to be a lot of haunted houses that have gone into those places for sure right oh yeah you got to yeah you got to it's always interesting to see like because it'll always be then there's like small businesses where you can see it and like oh this poor fucking motherfucker this shit is not gonna last and like you probably put your whole fucking life into this terrible retail concept and then you see ones that have been there for decades in a mall like a one-off retail concept at a mall oh god and i get like and you like see it you're like no i feel so i'm so sorry you are oh you're just doing anyway

then but then it lasts for like 10 years and you're like, oh, it's a drug front. Oh, never mind. Yeah. Okay. I don't have to feel bad because you don't care that no one's in there because you're just laundering money through here. Yeah. The one I was just talking about in Portland, Oregon is called the Lloyd Center.

And it's like, just like, it feels like a flea market. It feels like it's all just like small businesses that people like put it all on the line for. Yeah. And they're like, you know, it's like custom snuggies or whatever. And you're like, all right, I guess. Okay.

I hope that I hope. That's what I love about like Portland is the specificity of the businesses. Like the entrepreneurial spirit of Portland, Oregon is fucking. I've never seen anything like it where they're like, yeah, man,

it's like a bespoke hot sauce and beer place. And it's like, what? There's and beer place and it's like what there's another so our of my podcast i co-host with sarah marshall from you're wrong about and there's another sarah marshall from portland oregon who runs a bespoke hot sauce company oh really and it's funny too because like i'm like not knocking it because instantly i'm like i mean yeah beer's cool but i love hot sauce and i love to see when people are just like you know aggregating a ton of local hot sauce i'm like this is great and i was asking some people locally i'm like is it high turnover like in this area like with the business like yeah it can be it can be it can be but some things remain for sure all right well at the top we mentioned that there has been some misinformation going around. And I have to assume that you guys were talking about Skittles when you mentioned that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there have been erroneous claims that Skittles are now banned in California. Specifically, Mario Lopez, who, along with Jack Black, is the person who I go to for most of my information, most of my reported reportage has to come through Mario Lopez. He tweeted, crime is through the roof, worst drug epidemic ever, and homelessness at an all-time high in California. Let's focus on Skittles. Let's focus on Skittles. And then posted a video or posted a picture that says, California becomes first U.S. state to ban Skittles and 12,000 additional products for cancer-causing additives.

Maybe this is the first step Mario Lopez is going to run for president. We can all hope. At Mario Lopez, viva! Did this news come from Nextdoor? I feel like this is something that would like, you would see on Nextdoor. The other day I was like, I got, I don't even know why I'm on Nextdoor.

It was like, I found a pet once, a lost pet. And I was like, I should go on Nextdoor and now I'm never going to get off. But they, people were very up in arms about the fact that I think California, there's a law that was passed that you can't make your employee run after a shoplifter anymore. Rightfully so.

Like, that should never have been a thing in the first place. And people were angry as if the government had come into their house and taken all their money and then burned it down. And I was like, why? This is like, this Skittles news is another one of those, it feels like. So is it true? It's not true? It's not true. It is not true is not true so i mean they tried it gavin newsom signed a bill banning certain food additives and one of the things that he pointed out because everyone was like oh you're gonna

ban skittles skittles go out of business then dude california you're going to be able to buy Skittles. Fuck that. And he was like, here is a bag of Skittles from the EU where the carcinogenic chemicals that they put in the American version of Skittles is illegal. They just made it less cancerous in the EU and are still able to sell both things and not go out of business and people were like nah fuck that and so that uh that got taken out of the bill the skittles ban there's like just keep it as it like they could have made it less potentially cancerous yes that and that just isn't going to happen.

Yes. So he held a package of schedules from the EU, argued it's demonstrable proof that the food industry is capable of maintaining product lines while complying with different public health laws country by country. And therefore, an earlier version of the bill had a ban on titanium dioxide, which sounds like a thing that you want to ingest with your food just like you know pepper a little it's got two oxygens dioxide dioxides on there which we've talked about it before it's a controversial food additive found in skittles and a bunch of other foods and it's been banned in the eu it was banned last year you know, it's just not not great.

Like they think it could be bad, like when it gets into your cells. But it was removed from the California bill after lobbyists argued that it was safe to use in these applications. Don't worry. Small amounts and products like Skittles. This is how, you know, Gavin Newsom is running for president eventually. you know, Gavin Newsom is running for president eventually. Like he's already doing like, he's like, you know, like, Oh, I'm not like, well, fine. We're good with titanium dioxide or like the thing where he's like, I'm going to cap insulin costs. No, I'm not actually, I'll say that out loud. And then when it comes time to cut time to sign a bill, I'm not going to do that. Or be like, we're going to get striking workers unemployment he didn't right so

he's like really good at that like presenting himself as someone who's like got his head in the game and has this like progressive credentials while also being like and i'm a friend to business and health care don't worry my man i still am i making up that he was like a progressive guy at one point that was the case right like he was the he was like an actual progressive politician from yes like it's the mayor of san francisco like i guess comparatively but he's always i think the thing that people have always that the sort of criticism is like he's all he's always been very sly about it he's very coy you know and he so he knows what to say when to say it and not say things when to not. So it's,

you're always like, he presents like a total piece of shit, but he might be a total piece of shit. Who knows? So that, that pushed back hair though, you know, you gotta, you gotta know. Goddamn. What a head of hair. Yeah. It's like backjack. We already know. I can't think of somebody whose hair I would want to touch less. Like Gavin Newsom's? Yeah. His hair feels like it, whatever you would get on your hand from touching it would be on there for a while. It would stick around.

Yeah. Yeah. Like I'd rather touch like all like the male leads in like Boardwalk Empire who you saw them put like lard in their hair. I'd be like, I'm having a go them put like lard in their hair i'd be like i'm having a go lard never heard anyone i'd rather touch that or like pomade than like the whatever gavin newsom's got going on you know whose head i i bet is filthy as bill maher i bet his i bet you would touch his head and your hand would never be the same yeah yeah i just wanted to get that in a bill yeah fucking hair new rules your hair is terrible you just have to be like stuck to your hand like a spider web you'd like wash it i say this is

someone with like a radically receding and depleting hairline uh but yeah i don't ever want to touch the texture the texture of it though i can it feels like it could be like like a cat's tongue somehow when you're like what the fuck that's hair yeah yeah buddy it sure is what karma it's what karma does to your hair it's not hair okay oh i'm sorry i'm sorry have you never touched a nest of spider webs before. Powered by Islamophobia. Okay. Okay. Sorry, Snowflake. It's scary.

Both of your impressions, like, facially are scarily accurate. You really go to a... Oh, I'm sorry. We as, like, a people have had to listen to that for 30 years. I know, right? We're upset about it. Oh, shit. Yeah, so this is one of those things the science is uncertain but usually like wait if they all things being equal the you know people in charge of making decisions on behalf of millions

of people would be like we don't know and therefore you can't put it in food that is mostly eaten by children yeah just as like a precaution yeah and that's how it works in the eu but in these united states you you know you got you got lobbying groups that are more powerful than the the young children candy eating lobby but it's it's funny though how much like my brain has been shaped by this like american attitude towards stuff when i'm like well you can't even prove it though so like fine let her rip yeah rather than be rather than like no it we don't know it's better to know it's Our thing is, it's better to know what you're putting in your body than letting it rip. And I'm like, oh, okay.

Well, maybe. The American to me is kind of like, why don't you suck it up? And then I realized that I've just internalized a terrible ideology. And then you're like, oh, wait, that's the titanium dioxide talking. You've internalized

a bunch of microplastics in addition to American. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Let it rip. Let it rip. My teeth are low?

Who are you talking to? How can the red ones taste the best? It's because of the flavor inside. It's not because of the, yeah, that's what they tell you. That's what they say. That's what they say.
