People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Listen to the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeart on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you

get your podcast presented by elf beauty founding partner of iheart women's sports hello the internet and welcome to this episode of r.i.p pregosh trend you need pregosh trend oh poor guy uh he gone to quote a baseball announcer i think would say after somebody struck out um anyways uh i am jack and i'm thrilled to be joined by super producer brian jeffrey hi everybody it's um it's a me yeah i'm never mic, but, you know, any port in a storm. You're also like always adding commentary in the chat. Yeah, you know, I like to work behind the scenes. Yeah, yeah. All right.

Well, we'll close our eyes. So you're still technically behind the scenes. We do have some sad news out of russia uh evgeny prekoshen uh was listed as a passenger on a plane which crashed with no survivors russian aviation authorities say oh what a shame it does feel like though the trustworthy outlets like the guardian and such are couching it in a lot of like listed on a plane which crashed with no survivors aviation authority says and they found a bag of his teeth somehow in the rubble and um and one finger yes uh and it had a uh sign attached to it that said for finger printing um the yeah i mean there's something almost almost admirable about the shamelessness with which putin kills his opponents not quite aberrable but like

approaching it's just like how you admire frank black and king of new york or something like that where it's like wow he's just really like he's just really on his grind there's a forthrightness to it yeah um yeah yeah but uh it's like a secret but he wants everybody to know that he was involved basically every time it's also giving epstein vibes in the sense of like we were all like well that guy's gonna die pretty soon right like yeah there's no way this guy survives no you can't get caught up like that and right and still be walking around i think it was also towards the end of the summer when that happened it's like august is a bad month for anybody who is under arrest and marked for death uh yeah you're not long for this world with powerful people are mad at you yeah especially

for trying to coup them yeah yeah you got you can't i just i remember specifically that putin is very very not into that it rubs him away he's like weird he has this weird thing where he's like really he doesn't like it if a hockey player doesn't allow him to score on them yeah and he also hates it when you try and coup him yeah yeah those two things makes him so mad yeah so anyways uh a fond farewell you know we've all we've all been there we've all thought that we could coup russia coup putin um but it's harder than it looks folks like to see you try yeah we bid a bid adieu to the queue the queue um all right and good news uh india's mission to land a craft the vikram lander from chandrayaan 3 on the south pole of the moon was a success hell yeah brother hell yeah brother we on the moon is hell boy

uh i'm just proud of my uh friends in the this is the rock announcing this on Twitter. I'm just proud of my friends in the Indian space program. Hell yeah, brother. Is that real? Is The Rock really? No, but just he always is like somehow attached to major events.

I believe that because anytime any people who are brown do anything, he always chimes in because he's just that fluid. And by do anything, have their head shot off by SEAL Team 6 is also another example of that. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Just proud to be an American today, brother.

Holy shit. I totally forgot about that yeah he's at um this is a historic uh and i like the wording on this this is a story because only the u.s china and the former soviet union have achieved a soft landing on the moon until now so it's like a is that to distinguish it from like people who have just like crashed just like fired people at the moon and had them just like crash crash into it like the rocket in that old timey movie that's gonna be a small chunk of my afternoon is looking up failed landings on the moon or hard landings yeah hardly yeah because you i mean hey you only hear about the successes right yeah those are the ones that sticks in uh people's memory yeah or stick in the moon's eye um russia

russia definitely like when you look back at some of the lesser known stories of their like how they made their space program possible was move fast a lot of the same things yeah move fast and don't give a fuck about people's bodies they they were the first people to send a woman to space and not for like any sort of good reasons let me just put it like that there's some like grizzly man style audio of people who russia just like fired into space without really a clear plan of how they were going to get them down. Yeah. And those people like burning up. Yeah.

I can't remember the name and reentry. But yeah, I've heard the tape. It's pretty. He's he's cursing them all the way down. Voices of death. But anyways, let's not talk about right you know of course this comes just days after russia totally shit the bed in their attempt um but we're not here to talk about russia we're here to talk about india um the rover that they sent will poke around looking for water

based ice and examine the physical characteristics of the surface of the moon. But the water-based ice, it's just funny to me to imagine that the thing that determines who will rule the moon is who gets there first. It's like a race. Yeah, because that's the thing. Dibs. You just gotta get there and shout dibs. Someone very clever in the past decided, hey, we probably shouldn't allow governments

to have military installations on the moon. So there's treaties for that, but as far as, like, you know, depleting the moon of all of its resources and possibly sending large chunks of it flying at us like a roland emmerich movie that's all fair game yeah um so i can't wait for that yeah no military installations but mining towns mining installations which corporate historically have never had any like mishaps or accidents no i think i think we're good here india is about to like rule the world

for the i feel like the next you know they're just demographically they're set they're in a very good position as other populations around the world age um they have that good dependency ratio when a big chunk of the population is moving through their working years that is good for the economy and like so that when there was the u.s like baby boomer generation moving from like 18 to 65 uh america was at its peak of economic performance. It was doing great. They of course wanted to believe it was because they were like so smart and shit. Uh, but like now that they're hitting retirement,

uh, and have hit retirement, things are falling off. And China similarly, the one child rule kind of, yeah, the one child rule put them in an amazing position for, you know, 18 years but now they have this massive population like working age population that is all entering the part

where they become this is why it's called the dependency ratio is because it's you know people who can't work so under the age of you know 14 and over the age of 65 or 70, they become a drain on the economy. And therefore, so you want more working age people. China had that to a high degree for a while, and now they're entering the phase where they're going to not have that. The United States entering it, you know, not quite as bad as China entering a bad phase, but not quite as bad. Just definitely not as good as it had been for them during the baby boom era. And India, I feel like, is demographers. They're really set up well for the future.

So, I don't know people don't like reporting this because it takes away like the um specialness of like the u.s having had economic success they're like no that was our personality and perseverance and i was like no it was just like your numbers and age and that was it and a lot of luck and uh and a lot of uh a lot of unscrupulous uh activities yeah totally and a lot of immigration yeah yeah i mean that is one of the reasons that the one of the things that saves the u.s from just aging going off of a demographic cliff is immigration but of course um some people don't want that because they're dumb. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series,

Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed

We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts.

Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeart Radio 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 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 rudy giuliani has turned himself in and uh threatened your children while he's at it what's going on here a couple days after claiming in a radio interview that he has scientific evidence quote unquote that trump won the 2020 election. Uh, he has turned himself into authorities in Georgia, uh,

but not before. I can't wait for that white paper. I know. Right. Scientists are saying folks, they're all saying, who's he going to put it out on PubMed or something like that? Yeah.

Medically incontrovertible evidence. Um, but he did spend a lot of time ranting to the press gathered outside the police station uh by defending his mayoral record for some reason um he argued he's still the same rudy so still the same rudy gi who made New York City the safest city still in America, a.k.a. brutalized, unhoused New Yorkers. But we should all be on his side now. He also claimed that he's fighting for justice and for Trump, who has been proven innocent several times. And then he ended his speech by warning that the justice system has been politicized uh and then looked into the camera and threatened that your rights are in jeopardy and your

children's um so huh but guy okay seems trustworthy to me i i back him now look i i i love rooting for the little guy so you know here's the rudy is he short there are some pictures of him where he like looks very tiny but i think that might just be like the way that so his head he's one of those guys where his head throws me off yeah and i i can't tell how tall he is because his head is so fucking big yeah he's like yeah mostly head yeah 40 head um so seemingly trump doesn't want rudy to flip because uh he is hosting a $100,000 per plate gala dinner to help pay Giuliani's legal bills. And the invite was written in a very classy cursive writing. Yeah. Yeah. Dare I say illegible.

President Donald Trump. Something, something. president donald trump something something you something or quentin eyewitness in america's mayor yeah rudy giuliani um said something like that but you need i don't i don't think you needed a classy font to let people know this was going to be a classy event for a guy facing conspiracy charges and a 10 million dollar sexual harassment suit so we'll see yeah i mean it look it's it's sponsored by mcdonald's so uh there'll be plenty of filet of fish and diet coke to go around yeah for these hundred thousand dollar per plate gal hundred thousand dollar per plate jesus christ i wonder who do you think is going to pull up to this that's the thing like i you hear about these sorts of things for like obama and hillary and it kind

of makes sense to me because of the uh degree to which the rich people who want to be friends with them have their head up their own ass yeah at least At least, you know, you go to one of those, you'll be immolated in a, a firewall of, of charm. Right. Right. Yeah.

But I, I don't know about this. Like I probably, you know, various mall moguls, like people who made a lot of money on malls. I feel like is, is who I'm like strip malls,

um, subway franchisees. Cause I'm really, cause okay. It's like, if this were just like a Trump dinner, I can sort of envision, you know,

like all the lackeys pulling up, but this being for explicitly for Rudy. Yeah. I'm like, who's going to pull up for this guy? Because you're not pulling up for Trump. You're pulling up for Rudy. Yeah.

Big fan. Yeah. I'm very curious to see who actually shows up. Well, both the invite and his statement before turning himself in are mentioning America's mayor. So I think he's just like trying to trade on his good name. Just be like, don't pay attention to any of this shit that's happened in the past 15 years. Think about 9-11. Most of all, think about 9-11, folks.

most of all think about 9-11 folks hey speaking of 9-11 its cousin 7-11 has already launched their uh pumpkin spice flavored products they launched they launched their pumpkin spice shit on august it's august the fuck i know they got they want to get ahead of the game you know just like they get a two-month jump on nine 11. Um, all right, I'm going to stop making the seven 11, nine 11 comparisons, uh, because do they need to be made?

I feel like they make themselves, you know, um, you go, you, you all can do your own research. I'm surprised seven 11 didn't change their name. Right.

I, I feel like if they, if they really cared about this country, they would have, but yeah, they launched their, their products back on August 1st. And yeah, it feels weird that we are launching early and earlier

as the earth is getting warmer and warmer. Like people just want to sip a like warm autumnal beverage while everything around them melts. Well, actually, when you think about it, with all of the changes to the climate, autumn might actually start coming a few months early. So you might as well get a lead on that, get people used to their pumpkin spice lattes.

The leaves will start dying soon yeah yeah yeah get ahead of it the official reason for the season actually happens tomorrow uh starbucks pumpkin spice latte uh will be hitting stores thursday august 24th jesus christ um this is the 20th anniversary of the beverage and starbucks is introducing a pumpkin chai latte aka an idea that they just took from tiktok where it's like sort of a secret menu hack that people talk about on tiktok they're just like yeah we're doing that. And they'll also be releasing pumpkin spiced cocktails at their little hoity-toity Starbucks Reserve locations. The pumpkin spice whiskey barrel aged iced latte. Now, I am a recluse. I don't know what the fuck a Starbucks Reserve reserve what is that is that like a bar oh it's

the top it's the it's the top starbucks man so it's like their flagship starbucks type store no i think it's i think it's like their idea have you ever heard of like the fancy taco bells that are like sit down restaurants uh no not in america yeah i think they're trying to make fancy starbucks a thing these are the fancy starbucks that have like a bar in them oh okay i see wow so they are thoughtfully deconstructed starbucks yes okay they also have a pumpkin spice espresso martini but like only one of them has alcohol in it the pumpkin spice whiskey barrel aged ice latte does not have alcohol in it oh so they're just they're just getting the peatiness in there i guess so your coffee can taste even more burnt

yeah yeah exactly awesome the pumpkin spice espresso martini uh does contain alcohol so you can pretend like you're james bond undercover as a soccer dad basically yeah that espresso martini is really taking off i keep seeing it everywhere yeah you just gotta get awake and drunk yeah america loves wide awake drunk wide awake and drunk get an espresso martini and a red bull and vodka yeah and a buzz ball like not technically able to drive but you will be absolutely certain that you are a better driver than you've ever been yeah when you're drunk on these absolutely they should sell buzz. I feel like that would be just in the little cooler

at the front of Starbucks. I'm like, they should really, there's a gap in the market. They could really take over. Yeah. All right. Well, Brian,

it's been such a pleasure having you on. Welcome to the show. Where can people find you, follow you? Do you do any of that stuff? I am not on social media anymore. All right. So you can't find you, follow you? Do you do any of that stuff? I am not on social media anymore.
