My name is Jack and I'm thrilled to be joined by wonderful guest co-host Pallavi Gunale. How's it going? I'm up here. You're down there. 9-11. They haven't heard it yet. That'll make sense to you tomorrow.

Or if you've seen the... Or yesterday. Yeah. If 9-11 makes sense to you. You pissed off God. Yeah. Now see what he's got. 9-11. You can just search the internet.

Just search the internet, okay, okay people don't make us do all the work for you my name is jack uh that is palavia i've already said that but i'm gonna say it again because you may be a goldfish tell them yeah that's right tell them who we are jack that's right i love that your name is jack i can just do a Biden impression. I'll tell you, Jack. Biden's been kind of charming now that we don't need to worry about whether he could possibly have a brain capable of being president. He, of course, we talked about on yesterday's trending, I think, that he said, yeah, man, the debate's tonight. Tomorrow, I'm going to do 9 the debates tonight tomorrow i'm gonna do 9-11 and he had a an interaction with a trump supporter that was like just two old guys having a good old fashion grizzled old guy off oh my god anyways uh and he put on a trump hat and people like he

admitted he's trump i don't know what they thought he was admitting to but why did he put on a Trump hat and people were like, he admitted it! He's Trump. I don't know what they thought he was admitting to. Why did he put on a Trump hat? The guy had a Trump hat and they were just like flirting with each other in the way that old men who don't realize they're flirting with each other can sometimes do. This is like

ugh, that's like, I'm sorry that is not, that is not charming to me. I'm like, that is like old white sorry that is not that is not charming to me i'm like that is like old white men co-signing yeah whatever in the moment for comfortability but i will say i did see a tweet about how he's become like funnier and like more loose or whatever yeah and they were like this is what happens when you know you're quitting you just have a good time just you're just in your senior year, senioritis. Lame duck. More like really cool duck. Anyways. Ducks everywhere are fucking pissed.

That was a funny thing that I said. Anyways. All right. So Donald Trump has said he will not debate Kamala Harris again. Oh, that's right. We are undecided on this podcast to the degree that we don't even know who the candidates are. Who is that? What's a Donald Trump?

What's that? What's a Donald? What's a Donald Trump? He he said he's not going to debate Kamala Harris again. He didn't the first time, really. Honestly, he just got owned. It's wild because he only has one like explanation for why he's not going to debate her again and his argument is uh and this is clearly testing well with his inner circle um i can't

imagine it's testing well with anybody else but uh only the loser in a boxing match asks for a rematch but first of all there there was a planned next debate. Second of all, everybody, literally everybody thinks you lost the first debate, except for you. Like RFK Jr., who is a guy interviewing for

a job with you and actively supporting you and campaigning on your behalf in swing states is like set set is like well yeah he clearly lost and did not do a good job in that debate but um um rfk jr actually goes by they them pronouns not because they're non-binary but because of the worm in their brain sorry and i do apologize it is a plural that so anyways anyways, I don't know. It doesn't seem like a great line of argument for for my money. But again, I am an undecided voter. So

what do I know? Literally nothing. I know nothing because it helps me stay on your Jack Snow. I'm Jack Snow, baby. I think it's fun that Trump is like, if I don't want to do this, it's because they're a loser. I also have that attitude and I will be henceforth going forward and doing whatever I want and just calling you a loser if I don't want to do it. You know what I mean? That's such a change for him. Like him just owning his space and just saying, you know'm gonna do whatever i want finally let trump be trump you know for the first time there was a tweet that said he would be like during the debate they were like he would be the messiest real housewife and i was like oh my god he would be so good

like he literally just put him on put him in this encapsulated area and just make him be messy like he would have been such a beloved figure if he only if he didn't do like racism and sexism and assault and all that stuff but then also was just a real housewife you know like if that's the version of trump we got it could be somebody that we really loved yeah he wasn't in charge of anything he right no he's just such a catty bitch like that is such a bitch yeah that is what his energy is so some people are noticing that laura loomer so there was this profile of laura loomer i think in the new yorker it was like kind of a long read it was one of those long reads that has exactly zero information, but it was kind of fascinating to follow Laura Loomer, noted racist conspiracy theorist and mega activist. And as a tweet I read said, also jigsaw impressionist. Yes.

Yes, has had a lot of work that is uh taking her look like a very uncanny yeah an uncanny place but it she like in in this profile she's like just constantly like trying to get on trump's calendar uh just fully devoted and like focused on finding ways to get near trump like that's her focus 24 hours a day and she's like promising this reporter she's like yeah you're gonna get to see me i'm gonna like hang out with him and then towards the end she's like okay so maybe it didn't happen this time but we're really close and he just like doesn't like you so fuck off uh anyways she has entered the entourage she was on his plane that landed in philly for the debate and it has been traveling with him recently um people are analyzing their body language when together like he put his arm

around her lower back and uh so she recently said something wildly racist where uh she said she i guess tweeted that if kamala harris uh wins the presidential election quote the white house will smell like curry and white house speeches will be facilitated via a call center and okay first of all curry is delicious yeah so it's gonna smell great um are you saying that the wi-fi is gonna be high speed because that sounds also good you know to the point that like so there is now a stupid feud between her and i mean there's been a feud between her and marjorie taylor green where marjorie taylor green in the most recent back and forth like told her to take that down and was like that's racist that's not helping and laura loomer is like you're not racist enough essentially so big news in the world of mega brain worms. At Alex or Alex Cole at AC news.

Ziddiq posted girls, girls, girls. Don't argue. You're both racist. Also, just a quote, like we've been covering the debate for a while.

I do just love this quote that I had forgotten about. Kamala Harris pointed out that the military leaders who worked with him were none too impressed i think she used the word disgrace and trump's counter was victor orban one of the most respected men they call him a strong man he's a tough person smart prime minister of hungary they said why is the whole world blowing up he said because you need trump back as president so he takes strongman as a comp like he just can't process that as anything other than a compliment this is like when he thought asylum meant insane asylum yes like the visas or whatever yes it is true that i uh am am a strong man and will be strong, man.

Look at my muscles. Arms like as Miles Gray says, arms like Christmas hams. Anyways. Isn't Victor Orban like fucking horrible? Yeah, yeah. No, true. Like just a not enjoyed on the international level by any people who are paying any sort of attention but it's just this the loomer thing it's anybody who is willing to compliment him can make him do

whatever the fuck they want it is wild that he has any chance of having access to power, let alone a coin flip chance of having access to the nuclear codes again, because he is the most easily manipulatable human that I've ever seen in the public eye. I wanted a felon as president, but not like this. You know what I mean? Like I wanted someone who was-

It'd be fun to have a bad boy. Well, I also wanted someone who would advocate for human rights from that perspective. But not like this. This is what I wanted. Not like this. Not like this, America. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. I'm Jess Casavetto,

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? Just come here and 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.

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. Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar.

Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season? Well, you were right. And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs. We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach.

That's my husband. Daphne Spring, Daniel Thrasher, Peppermint, Morgan J., and more. You gotta watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you gotta listen. If you're watching us, you got to watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen. Like if you're watching us, you have to tell us, like if you're out the window, you have to say, Hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, just, you know what?

Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back uh jd vance continuing to kill it he went on cnbc and people are starting to point out that immigration is good for economy, like at least on CNBC, the economy channel. They're like, so some point out that immigration is the greatest thing for America's economy and has been for literal centuries. And J.D. Vance said, if that was true, America would be the most prosperous country in the world. Oh, no. J.D. Honey, baby, sweetie, you are not doing OK, sweetie.

You are not doing amazing, honey. Just yeah, he's not not killing it. Also, I was going to say also another update from Trump's entourage, but this is actually somebody who is outside of his entourage, and that is Melania Trump. Didn't show up to the debate. Laura Loomer is promoting a book that comes out in just a week and a half. It's already been making headlines. It's called Becoming by Michelle Obama. But it has a picture of Melania Trump on it. Yeah. The cover art was unveiled and it was plagiarized.

Cover art was unveiled and it was plagiarized. The cover of the book is just the cover of the Chanel book catwalk. That is insane. Chanel catwalk, but with Melania written in the exact same font in the exact same white on black. It was plagiarized. Yes. So amazing work by them.

Was plagiarized. Yes. So amazing work by them. And then she's been dropping weird promo videos with excerpts from the book. One raised eyebrows for complaining that her quality of life has been affected by Biden because of the rising cost of food and gasoline. I'm sure she's really feeling it at the pump um she's definitely pumping her own gas and just feeling the stress we all feel as the cost goes up and up and up as you're filling your tank wait her instagram is so weird just it is such a strange like product pushing but also like an auntie's Instagram, but also like racist Instagram, which I guess could be some people's aunties.

Yes. She also released a excerpt that implies that the attempted assassination on Donald Trump was part of like a Democratic conspiracy. And they didn't do it like she asked them to and therefore they fucked they didn't complete the fucking job she says why didn't law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech there is definitely more to this story and we need to uncover the truth which is also so the fact that she's saying it is i don't know i guess i i hadn't realized this but in 2011 like before everything went to hell um she came on the view and uh was like doing birtherism shit she was like i just think people want to see obama's birth certificate and joy behar was like, it's out. Like this is sorry. This is 2011. It's out because

your husband said all that wild bullshit it's been released. And, uh, we we've all seen it. And she was like, still, I just think he needs to release it. Um, so anyways, she is not a stranger to her husband's bullshit conspiracy theories. It is a little troubling that he seems to be pushing this more and more. The idea that that was an act of war, essentially, against him

feels headed in a bad direction? I don't know. More at 11. If Democrats were going to shoot the president, we would have missed harder okay we wouldn't have even gotten the ear we don't know how to use guns and we're scared okay anyways we can't wait to get this coffee table book and uh read every word okay i can't imagine it's not wonderful it's all just nfts and then uh in the segment that we always do

around this time we have bon jovi news bon jovi jovi report so bon jovi once again making headlines for helping to talk yeah the very one and only john j-o--O-N, Jovay, helped talk a distressed woman off the edge of a bridge in Nashville. Apparently, he was just walking by, making a music video at the time. He's never not, by the way, making a music video. He's just walking through a perpetual music video. He engaged her in conversation, helped her to to safety then gave her a long hug um and yeah he's like in the middle of the bridge he's like whoa you're halfway there yeah he said be careful this bridge is slippery well wet uh the name of the album with living on a prayer on it um but there yeah there's like cctv footage of the

encounter i love the cctv footage because his hair like you look at the person that's standing there and you look at him and you're like that is 100 bon jovi because of his hair like that is that couldn't be anybody else yeah he's no longer he no longer has the short hair right no it's like it's the spikiness of it yeah uh so jbj uh out here uh i'm going to give benefit of the doubt and say that it was not just like a piece of buzz marketing um by them to just be like hey could you stand here for just one second yeah i think it's also sad because there are she's standing outside it's really sad she's standing like on the outside of the bridge like clearly going to jump and like people just walk past her until bon jovi like

walks over yeah that's like really sad yeah bon jo. He kind of has got that energy about him. I feel like that, like he might be one of those celebrities who's just lived a charmed enough existence that he just kind of floats through life and, uh, probably probably does cool things for people every once in a while. Um, so shout out to John Bon Jovi.

Finally, uh, USA today has released its eagerly anticipated Halloween costume idea trends. Now that I've never looked at this before, the list is pretty uninspired. But we do like to look at Halloween costume trends. They got a lot of Beatles, Juice. They got a lot of Ghostbusters, which can't did that movie hit hard enough um that was a movie this year yeah ghostbusters ice one oh no i missed it i missed all of it wicked witches i could see that deadpool and

wolverine probably going to be everywhere. The descendants. Um, I'm sorry. Clooney movie. Did you miss, did you miss Ray gun? Because you're going to be Ray gun for Halloween. Is that why you skipped over that? No. Ray guns at the bottom of the list.

That's actually pretty good. Yeah. be her husband and then like your kids can be like the breakdancing the iconic or the husband yeah that's actually pretty good yeah just me humiliating myself for my wife and kids which is kind of kind of uh i thought she was your icon i'm sorry ray gun do you know what you're gonna do this year i don't know i want to do like a couples

Jack's hungry for the pictures. Nom, nom, nom, nom. Oh, God. Good, good, good, good, good. I will say, is that opening your pictures?
