And whenever I need somebody to sit across from me and guest co-host and co-pilot this ship. It is my honor to introduce the scam goddess herself, Miss Lacey Mosley. Hey, y'all.

Ooh. I can take it like a pro and you won't know. Do it long, bro. I'm a con pro. Got your fraud alerts jumping like a pro and you won't know. Do it long, bro. I'm a con pro. Got your fraud alerts jumping like a disco. I can't be caught fucker than some Crisco. And all you gotta say is Lacey go. Don't say my government to the cops, though.

No. Oh, wow. That's courtesy of me. I wrote that just now. Yeah, earlier when you were working, you were like, ooh, sock courtesy of me. I wrote that just now. Yeah, earlier when you were working, you were like, ooh, sock it to me. I was like, oh, did somebody send you something? And I should have known you were in the lab. I want to take it back.

You know what I mean? That album, fuck. The Missy Misdemeanor Elliott, shout out to a queen. Yes, also, that album, I can't talk enough about it. I get a little choked up actually thinking about it. That and then Kaytranada's remix of Sack It To Me. Yes. Pretty much any Kaytranada remix is gold.

Well, you know what, Lacey, we are thrilled. Yes, we are. To be joined by a hilarious comedian, improviser, someone who is actually celebrating their comedy anniversary upon this day with us, which I consider a great honor because, I mean, you've soared to great heights if you were here after just three years in comedy. Please welcome our guest, Pallavi Gunalan. Oh my goodness. Hi.

That was amazing. That intro was fantastic. Thank you. I believe you are a scam goddess. Thank you. I am. She, yes. When am I going to get that free trip of that vacation rental place?

Oh, you are. You just got about seven more installments. Okay. Yeah, you got to finish your installments. Right, but I thought if, you said once I do the first payment, well, first you said just trust me. It's going to look tight as fuck. Just give me the first payment and then you can come check it out.

We're three payments in now. And also, the monorail to the vacation house. Yeah, this rental. Yeah. Oh, did you invest in that, too? Yeah, yeah. I bought a monorail. I'm so glad you brought that up, actually, Pellevi, because that's why you haven't been

able to visit the properties, because the monorail is being worked on right now. Oh. But keep the payments up, because if you stop the payments, then I have to reimburse you like three to five. Yeah, you won't be able to have it. I'll keep eating these vitamins and using this makeup. Oh yeah, these goji berries, my skin has never been drier.

Well, anyway, we're going to get to know you a little bit better, but first let's talk about what we are going to discuss today. Shaq, I'm just saying this right right now he might be worse for Papa John's than John Schnatter was I'm he put out this video I don't know what the fuck is going on I don't know what this idea he has is but we'll talk about this apparently new uh genius idea from Papa John's that will get them out of the gutter um we'll also talk about the smithsonian um acquiring a very important piece and we'll discuss that with art historian lacey mosley uh momentarily because you also among other things

like vacation investment opportunities you're also an art collector absolutely um i've i can't believe you actually got me a a banksy yeah a banksy for 14 dollars wow i think because what was it he destroyed it yeahredded? He destroyed it. Yeah, yeah. It got shredded. It got shredded. Yeah. This one was shredded.

I know it looked like it was in a paper shredder and it was just smoothed out. And then taped back together. But you say that strip is from that piece. No, it absolutely is. Okay.

It absolutely is. Well, y'all, I've made it. So, and Lacey will tell us a little bit more about this other specific piece. We'll also talk about a little feud going on between AOC and Mitch McConnell.

Joaquin Castro, just go off, Joaquin. Do what you do. Caused a bit of a commotion on Twitter. And many other things, including a scam involving guacamole, which I feel like, Lacey, you might be interested in this one. Oh, of course. Yeah. So, but first, Pallavi. Hi.

What is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I looked up Marxism yesterday because I forgot what it was. Nice. I was like, which man with the beard is this? Oh, Darwinism. Yeah, which one is it? When it comes to, like, grand political theory, I can get mad about stuff that's happening today, but I, like, don't know, like, Marxism versus, like, you

know what I mean? Sure. Like, I mix them all up. What were you looking it up for? Were you just, like, sitting at home? I literally was like, what the fuck is Marxism? And went, like, how is it different from communism? I was on the bus.

There you go. I think I just, like, saw, I don't know, Karl Marx somewhere. Probably a tweet making fun of it. And I was like, do I understand this fully? See, I wish more people did that. I wish more people took the time to hop onto Google, do a quick Google before they started talking smoke. You know what I mean? They're probably all busy driving their actual cars.

No, hell no. No bus shade. I just feel like so many people get on Twitter and talk about things that they don't know. And it's like, we got a whole free internet. You just go to your other app and Google something real quick. Welcome to the new era, though, where everybody thinks they know everything just because it's a search away. Yeah. That's enough to enable people's pseudo-intellectualism.

Yeah, the main problem is that they don't know where to go to look for the answer. So they just pick whatever source agrees with them. Yeah, they'd be on my site. They'd be on my site. Yeah. Trickopedia. Come on, Trickopedia. Yeah, come on, Trickopedia, where it's what I say it is. And truthfully, everything can be a fact

if it's just believed and stated for long enough. That's true. That's actually what I learned this morning. She said it a lot. Yeah, you have false facts and you have, that's why you have something called a false fact

because if you just say a statement as a fact for long enough, people will start to believe it. Right. And then it is the truth. Yeah. That's, well, that's like. I'm just, no,

I'm just thinking of that business presentation you gave to me which over and over he said, say it with me. This is not a scam. And we said it over and over. She's like, you might think it's too good to be true.

Three bedrooms with dock access for a mere $100,000 in Aruba? This is not a scam. Say it with me. And everybody left knowing that it wasn't a scam and being fully convinced. And then you were crying to me at the end. You're like, everybody left. You're not going to leave right now.

I'm like, no, I guess I'll invest. But not before you handed out your Venmo, right? No, absolutely. And now Venmo has protections. Immediately transferred to bank. Have y'all seen that? Oh, really? Yeah.

You're saying it's bullshit, right? You're like, this is some bullshit. Well, I just tell people that that $1.75 is not worth it, okay? They're just trying to get your money, all right? Do you have QuickPay? Do you have Apple Cash? Can I shop? What's something that's overrated?

Okay, this is going to be, I didn't realize how many listeners you guys had before I thought about this. And I mean this in a very specific way. But Oprah. Okay, she's amazing. Wow. I know, I know, I know, I know. She's amazing.

She's a philanthropist. She's inspirational. Her story's fantastic. But she doesn't know shit about science. And she's enabled a lot of bullshit peddlers. Dr. Oz is full of shit. The entire medical and like scientific community is against him. He had to like testify before the Senate. Yeah. She's like Dr. Phil is not a fucking doctor. Dr. Phil. Well, he's like a Ph.D. and but his thesis was on something totally different and he hasn't practiced psychology

since 2006. She gave Jenny McCarthy a platform to talk about anti-vaxxers. She helped start that movement. And the Yonla. But the Yonla is an older black woman with large breasts, so she is qualified. She's qualified to do what she does. Anything. Yeah, if you want to give advice as an older black woman, I would have to get a breast job to have larger breasts so people could cry in my bosom.

That's really the only requirement. Can I tell you something? It's a moment that still sticks with me, but I fell asleep on a plane one time, and we were landing, and I fall asleep on the tray table, and this big bosomed older black woman was sitting next to me, and she woke me up with the warmest hand rub on my back, and I still think about that when I'm lonely.

I know what that rub is, too. It's in between your shoulder blades. Yeah, it was so good. No one can do it like that. I literally just thought of my grandmother. Right? You know why? She'd be like, you know, this releases endorphins.

No, she was saying like between your shoulder blades, there's some kind of, it activates them. I don't know. This is also how a black grandmother would talk. But I believe her because she has large enough breasts. Okay? They were hefty. I feel kind of bad for the small tittied grandmother this is a really hot take but i understand specifically the aspect of the take that you're talking about right she platforms

because she did like dr phil has been yelling about if you want to get off crack get off crack and dr dr oz is like he's an actual medical doctor that is selling people fake fat loss pills and other horrible... They don't do any research into their guests. He's like if a medical doctor started being an Instagram thot, basically. But there are Instagram thot medical doctors, and they're more legit than Dr. Oz. Yeah, they're like, at least they're actual doctors. They're like, I'm naked, but I know science. Dr. Oz is wearing a white coat and then some little swim trunks underneath.

Like, it's me, ya I know science. Dr. Oz is wearing a white coat and then some little swim trunks underneath. It's me, your boy, Dr. Oz. I saw him at Nike Town when Nike Town used to be a thing with Robin, and I was starstruck. Oh, my gosh. I'm not going to lie. I was starstruck when I saw Dr. Phil. I don't know why. I hate him. I think I'm a lonely midday TV person.

I mean, obviously, I'm not defending him. This just means there was an era in college, I remember. You know when in high school, you never watched daytime TV because your ass is in school. Right. And then when you start going to college, your schedule's a little bit more malleable. You got limited channels. And all of a sudden you're like, shit, I could watch TV at 1130. And I'm like, I'm watching motherfucking Dr. Phil now.

I would watch Bob Ross episodes before it was all on Netflix. We had to find them online. Oh, you just go on YouTube? No, we got stuff listen I'm not wait what is that hold on like it wasn't just on YouTube

we had to like download it oh okay I like how sort of shook you are yeah everything like I'm a hot take

it was a whole system you're legit to be shook about that because I got in trouble in college for pirating like the pirate you did you were one of like

the 17 kids that got arrested and everybody heard about it the music company came after me I squeezed my way out of it and cried a little bit and what not and I was like I'm on scholarship but what happened was LimeWire was LimeWire if someone else is downloading something that you've already downloaded it technically is you downloading it too

so it happened on the school wifi and they called me and why the fuck I get busted for Carrie Underwood before he cheats? Wow. And I was like. You should be like, that's not me. I've had this paranoia where I'm like. I drug my key.

Oh, no. Oh, no. I had this paranoia where I was like, whenever I was like driving and listening to music, I was like, I really hope that I don't like get into an accident and like die. And then they like figure out like what song I was listening to music I was like I really hope that I don't like get into an accident and like die and then they like figure out like what song I was listening to when I died I was like that one Justin Bieber album was good yeah and you have to say that from the grave while they take your body away just you should just too late you should have like a medic alert bracelet that just has whatever the explanation engraved it's like despite what

this may look like just so you know this album was actually a pretty good offering if you compare to some of his other works. I was going through a rough time. Yeah. It was a gift. Okay, but that's my overrated. I love Oprah in all other ways. I think she's very inspirational, but she just needs to find like a medical science

expert that is not her. Yeah, well, guess what? When you're that rich, you know what I mean? You don't even exist on earth anymore. Right. That's true. She's just in a wrinkle in time just floating off somewhere. Hey, nice connection.

What's something that's underrated? Oh, underrated. The TV show The Doctors. Grey's Anatomy. No, this goes against everything I just said, but Spite, I think, is underrated. goes against everything I just said, but spite, I think, is underrated. I know my therapist and I are working through mine, but I think it's been very helpful

for me to get work done. It doesn't last long term when you're throughout your whole life. But it'll give you a good kick to get shit done. Spite is the ambitious cousin of petty. It's a hard-working cousin of petty. Can we get that tatted?

Spite is the ambitious cousin. I have it on my thigh. Spite is the ambitious cover. Yeah. Ooh. Spite is the ambitious cover. On your inner thigh. On Facebook, my Facebook little banner still says, let pettiness fuel your success. It's amazing.

Yeah. Shitting on people is great. But I get it. It's not even like shitting on people. It's like all- With your success. You don't shitter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You don't actually do anything to that. You just like the best. What was it? Did Beyonce say the best revenge is money or something? The best success is the best revenge is success. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

But yeah, that's how I feel. Like one dude will do something shitty to me and I'll just apply to like six comedy festivals. There you go. When was the last time you let spite fuel you? It's been a minute. I just applied to six comedy festivals. It's been a minute. I just applied to six comedy festivals. It's been a minute. It was a lot last year, honestly.

I think it has driven my comedy. Yeah. Because people are like, I don't know, whenever people are like, you're not, or not many people have said I'm not funny, but a lot of people are just like shitty to you in comedy for like no reason or for like random reasons they make up. Well, everyone's insecure. Well, also you're a woman and you guys, can you hear it maybe? But you're also attractive.

That's all. That is a thing. Am I going to get arrested now? That's a, if I was a white dude, that's a joke I would make. This woman is not a scammer. She speaks the truth. Well, yeah, I remember people telling me when I was doing comedy in New York bars, like, oh, well, you better be prettier than you are funny.

I was like, what the fuck does that mean? Those people now work for me. Hey! Yo, don't give them jobs. Very specific jobs, to rinse out her empty soda cans. They better not be sticky when they go in that recycling can, because it'll attract ants. I will check.

Yeah, thank you, Louis. Okay, well, I'm just thinking, yeah, the spite thing, I can definitely get behind, too. Like, I remember a lot of breakups fueled some of my greatest creative output. Yeah. Like, I would make music or write music or write sketches and do other things. Like, I remember, like, Funny or Die had just come out within months of me being destroyed in a relationship. And I was like, I'm about to fucking destroy this website.

And I didn't but um it was very good to motivate motivate me and gave me like the kind of tunnel vision uh that only adderall used to yeah right yeah this is why i say like uh like people always say like oh men get better like within relationships and i'm like women get better too it's just after we're like right we like break up and we're like i'm gonna learn i'm gonna get on duolingo i'm gonna learn piano you have so much free time now that you're not emotionally babysitting yeah a man child yeah well wait so what did your therapist say like why did your therapist say spite is like not good because it like consumes you and then you're comparing yourself to other people and like all this other stuff and like long term it's gonna burn out and

it's like not gonna be good for you and it's gonna like sabotage your own career and it's going to burn out and it's like not going to be good for you. And it's going to like sabotage your own career. And it's going to make you feel really shitty all the time. Oh, damn, your therapist had a lot to say. Yeah, and then you just like victimize yourself and that's like self-sabotage. Anyways. Well, yeah, it's true. I mean, I think at a certain point, right, like if we're putting so much emphasis on something external, right, like to prove some other person wrong, then the fuel of your engine is going to be corrosive over time.

You know what I mean? I think because, again, your true power is understanding that all your your validity, what you're worthy of and all of that comes out of an ability to recognize that you yourself is very powerful. And then the second you consider a person outside of you, now you've completely ceded that power to something outside of you. Now it depends on something outside of you. So you always need something outside of you to recognize your own potential. Yes. If you can start off by saying,

let me let y'all know what the fuck I can do. Cause if I'm just the best version of me, y'all are fucked. Wow. Yes. It's by my tapes for 59. You give your power away. And also another way of putting it is like no one will ever give you closure.

Right. Like you will never find that outside. People are always like, should I like him again? Should I do this? And it's like, it doesn't matter. Like, don't rely on what you think their reaction is. And also this. Why do you need somebody who already doesn't know who the fuck you are?

Really? You're worth really? Why do you need their opinion on top of them already demonstrating to you that they don't know your worth or who you are why do you need then to then explain to you who you are to get closure you don't need it you don't need this person i will say as a petty caveat um i don't necessarily i don't necessarily have specific people that i'm like, ooh, I hope that they see the things that I'm doing. It's just something in the back of my head that I'm

like, I know my ex-boyfriend mama. One day, she's not going to be able to close her eyes without seeing my face. That Lady Gaga. But I don't check on her and I don't know where she's at and I don't think about her often. I just eat at the

Papa Do's that she works at every time I'm in town. I throw her a tip. I throw her a tip. A good tip. Yeah. I didn't realize. I need more poncho train sauce right now. Don't fuck around.

Finally, what's a myth? What's something people get wrong? Okay. This is a plug for my shit, but I have a comedy science web series called Dirty Science, and I did my second episode on race because there is no scientific definition for race for many reasons, including the fact that all of our ancestors... The most recent common ancestor of all humans alive on the planet lived 3,000 years ago. So it's like we're all way more closely closely related and it's more of like a continuous

spectrum of like different like physiological traits that you can't like, you can't define any race by any specific group of traits. Right. Like there's no, it's too continuous. Right, right, right.

So it was literally just used for slavery. No, of course. It's like, well, how do we put people in buckets? Yeah. Separate them.

Oppression. Yeah. How do we go about, how do we put people in buckets and separate them? Oppression. How do we go about this? And we'll call it a race, but we're first. Like they started with other stuff that wasn't working as well. Okay, what about like voice? Like how high your voice is? Is that a race? And one guy was like, no, not that.

That's not a race. No, that's not a race. No, that ain't a race either. I just want to own people. All right, back to the job board. No, that ain't a race either. I just want to own people. Did you study science in school? Yeah. How could you tell? I'm guessing. It sounds like an intersection of your interests. Comedy,

science. I'm actually currently probably getting kicked out of a PhD program right now. Why? What happened? I do too much comedy. Oh, wow. What were you working on? I'm biomedical engineering. That's what I did my undergrad and my master's in as well. And then I worked in a biotech company for two years, and then I moved down here. Yeah, so you really got no sense trying to get into comedy.

I know. Do you know how fucking mad I am at myself? I'm like, why do I love this? But hey, but exactly. You're following what feels good, right? I think if you feel good, you will be successful. That's Miles' tip for the day. We'll be back with Iyanla right after this. But hey, but exactly. You're following what feels good, right? Yeah. I think if you feel good, you will be successful. That's Miles' tip for the day. We'll be back with Iyanla right after this.

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 hear 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 braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Shaquille O'Neal, you know, he's been doing some work with Papa John's ever since the original Papa John was just ran out on a rail because of his, you know, racist hot takes. Yeah, he was doing racism to people. I mean, yeah, I don't even call them hot takes. Just fucking racism.

They're not even hot or new or fresh. Yeah, it's fucking stale ass racism. Just like the pizza. With too much fucking sugar. Racism delivered to you in 30 minutes or less. Or less. It's called Twitter and it's actually 30 seconds or less. But so Shaq put out this video on his Twitter.

I'm not even going to play it because it's just exhausting. It's meant to look like, it's Shaq. I'm in a Papa John's board meeting. They're not. They don't know I'm here. So he's all whispering and shit. And it's the

most obvious ad I've ever seen. But again, okay, let's pretend Shaq, you're like, the largest black man ever is in your boardroom. Then he's like, also I was just imagining like how big the iPad was

he filmed on it because his face was like so close to it and he's got such a big face. I think he was just holding a MacBook Pro. He just like has like a giant screen.

The 45 and older selfie hold. Yeah, when it's this close. It's so close. I'm like, y'all just pull the arm out. I keep telling them to pull the arm out. Or if you ever get

an older ride share driver, like a Lyft or Uber driver, everybody got the low angle murderer face shot. Woo! Yeah. You gotta give classes to the elderly.

What if it's not because they can't? Well, 45's not elderly, but... But they're basically dead. What if it's not because... Nah, I'm too close to that. Right, right. Let's kick that up a notch.

Let's call that a 79. Honestly, it's like 63. Yeah. That's when you still were around for technology, but you missed the selfie wave. I just like being in my... Technically now, I'm approaching my mid-30s where now I'm kicking the can down the road

of what I think is old. Right. Because now I realize, too, when we say shit like boomers or Gen Xers on the show, they're like, hey, man, we're still cool. I'm like, yeah, you probably are. Right. But that's me. The same way I hear like I'll meet some Gen Z kid and they're like, yeah, I was five when you were talking about this thing you're talking about.

I'm like, shut the fuck up. When I turned 21, I was like, damn, I'm 21. I'm an OB. So like I'm not a teenager no more. But we digress. And then I turned 28 and I was like, oh, I'm 21. I'm an OB. I'm not a teenager no more. And then I turned 28 and I was like, oh, okay, no. Now I hang on to youth so deeply. Yeah, right? With every ounce of your being.

I drink like coconut water is regular water now. Wash your face with it. That's my secret. Just like bathe in it. I'm black. I'm using moisturizer. We're lucky. We all got that nice melanin in our skin.

I think we're going to stay beautiful looking. But I'm trying to back it up. I'm doing moisturizers on top and creams and injections. Oh, so you got the backup hard drive and time machine and iCloud running. You're backing everything up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will start injections soon, but not right now. No, you better not.

I'm going to go to a good doctor. I know you're lying. I'm going to go to Angela Bansky, but y'all ain't even going to know. Does she have work done? Honey. Don't tell me that. Dude, men are so dumb, okay? Literally, this guy was talking about this girl, and he was like, her lips are so beautiful.

I'm like, those are, they're injections. I have no idea of the surgical. No, no, no. I have to push back on that, because I'm pretty good at spotting obvious plastic surgery. Yeah, you are. No, no, no. Angela Bassett, though. If you look at Angela Bassett, she's not fucking around.

Her lips didn't get big or anything. She's just, her face has remained. Because she got a subtle. She probably went to whoever's doing the Kardashians. She got a very subtle, you know what I mean? Because everything is so smooth. Okay, hold on. It's not moving as much.

The Kardashians are way more obvious. I was trying to talk about fucking Papa John's. Okay. I just forgot that. I'm like, where the fuck are we? Okay, Shaquille O'Neal. Okay, Shaquille O'Neal. The point being, despite that wonderful road we took,

everyone's lit ass plastic surgery and us convincing Lacey not to get plastic surgery. Yeah, you're beautiful. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to be like robotically beautiful. I'm cheating. She's cheating. I'm cheating. I'm going to be like robotically beautiful. I'm cheating. She's cheating. I'm cheating. I'm going to be like her, just the voice eventually.

Yeah, she's like, no, you don't need to see my face. It's about a vibe. Lacey is a vibe. I'm the character of the city. Lace is an experience. But Shaquille O'Neal. L.A.C.I. Okay, did Shaquille O'Neal have work done or not?

Yes or no. Here we go. He has, I mean, a little deep set lines, but I think, you know, that comes with age. But he was, so in this video, he's saying he's at this secret board meeting. He's unveiling like a secret new, or like, I'm going to test, taste, test all this new thing. And you don't know what the fuck is going on. He's just like, remember, papadilla. So he's saying, he's pointing to a thing on a table and they're calling it a papadilla.

And when you look at it, it looks like the shape of a quesadilla, you know, like, but it's basically a folded in half pizza cut like a fucking quesadilla. But also, they spelled papadilla, P-A-P-A D-I-A instead of L-L. You know, I think maybe just because of the previous leadership at the company, they didn't want to venture

into, I don't know. Oh, so they're gonna like appropriate it without calling it. Yeah, I think you're doing a white appropriation of it which tells me the racism is still going on. Because if you're going to steal the

via then take the via and put the ia in the pub of the ia. Put the ia in there. You know what I mean? Like don't play with us. The thing is I'm more

upset that it's a motherfucking folded in half pizza just cut fucking differently. That's a calzone. But even then. Come on you know we live in the age of reboots okay we rebooting cinderella we reboot in little mermaid we reboot in pizza okay

pizza folded in half i want an all donut reboot of the pizza d i don't even yeah uh again could be great might not be we'll never know we're probably gonna eat it one night I mean I can't it's too sweet we'll never know like oh really

I'm sure someone will try it oh you guys do care about your health oh my bad I'll try it no no no I don't but I have yeah I love Taco Bell

and Taco Bell is health food let's be real here's my main issue with the video though certain angles of people like Shaquille O'Neal is in this video and the angle

of it makes me feel like I know what it's like to have sex with Shaquille O'Neal and I don't like that it's like the angle of a man on top of you like and I don't like that it's like POV from a woman's perspective of what she hates it's like the only

porn category that's not been searched nightmare POV porn. No, but then you compared it to like that generation's like selfies and now I'm thinking about my dad's selfies and that's what it looks,

that's what your mom sees. That's what your mom saw. Ruined forever. Welcome to Nightmares with Lacey. Let's move on to a bit of a dream. Okay, Beyonce.

She is in the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery, now in the permanent collection. So snaps for her. Yes. And more importantly, the woman who took the photo, right? Isn't she like one of the youngest photographers? It's a man. It's a woman? It's a man.

It's a man. He's one of the youngest photographers to ever be involved. To ever be involved. Yeah. And I think he's the only black man. Oh, so it the youngest photographers to ever be in Vogue. Yeah. And I think he is the only black male. Oh, so it was that one. Yes. Okay, yeah.

With the amazing sunburst crown she's wearing. And there was a little bit of internet backlash, basically, because they were, which I thought was dumb. I was reading on CNN and I was looking at the trolls because it's like, she doesn't deserve to be there. She's not historic yet. What is she, a doctor? What did she cure? I'm like looking at the trolls because it's like she doesn't deserve to be there. And she's not historic yet. And what is she a doctor? What did she cure?

I'm like, it's an art museum, y'all. Beyonce art. She literally walked around being art. What do you have so much shit in the museum anyway from people like you don't even know. Right. That's so dumb. Yeah, she is art. OK.

I'm trying to think right now of like people who are in there that you could probably be like, yeah, what the fuck is that person doing in there? Don Knotts has a portrait there? What the fuck is he doing in there? No, I don't know if he does, but that just feels like the kind of shit that would be in there. Hold on. I really just kind of want to see. Yeah, I do too. There's Bob Hope.

Look, if Bob Hope's in there, Beyonce's definitely in there. Okay, Lena Horne. Okay, you can put her in that category. John Brown, Meteor of the South. I mean mean historic figure there's people like fucking kelly slater come on man he's a surfer beyonce's fucking can be in there y'all relax please take a second and just relax i really want you to have like kelly slater's fan base come back again yeah i get it the wave of that but even then i'm not even saying kelly

slater shouldn't be in there it It's like, who gives a fuck? If they're like, Kelly Slater, great. Fucking surfing. What's the problem? I think Beyonce is a polarizing person for people because you either look at her two ways. She's unapologetically black. Yeah. Well, not even just that.

I think it's mostly that Beyonce has reached a level of work ethic and just astounding success that you either look at her and you're like some deep insecurities like i could never and so you're like fuck that bitch or you look at her and you're like damn i should try and so that's that's me i'm like oh i get up every day and like if i have a productive day that's my beyonce hours that means i had a day from start to finish where i did a lot of shit and i'm like okay this is how Beyonce live every day. Okay, let me try. Up at five? Up at five. Okay, she deserves every bit she has. No, you gotta get your workout in.

Eating an apple, saying you're hungry. Right, saying you're hungry. Then maybe a little bit of lettuce, you know? Prank call Pharrell. Go to several jobs. Having like three children in a flower garden. Right. Yeah.

Growing a child from the earth. Hiding the child. Like making sure no one ever gets to lay eyes on your seed. Have people seen the twins? Very rarely. But I understand that because y'all tore Blue Ivy up. So I knew she wasn't going to give us the twins. It's like Beyonce is like the opposite of what Kim K does with her kids.

Kim K is like, give me my little cute baby and let me put her in a Nekla J. And then which magazine will pay for us? Matching Nekla J's. Matching Nek. Matching negligees. Do they make pasties for babies? Oh, hell no. She's like,

how much longer can I pass off my child as Japanese? Right, exactly. Like kimonos to be popping. Or being like, oh, I came up with the one-legged catsuit.

Okay, Flojo. We got, we got, I know, right? Like we didn't know. One-legged diaper. Anyway, let's move on to some other people that ain't shit. Mitch McConnell. Recently, I think over the weekend or, yeah, there was a photo that came out on Facebook

with a bunch of fine young men who were choking and groping a cardboard cutout of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And they're all wearing Team Mitch t-shirts at, like, I don't know, some kind of event. And she called him out and she's like, is this what you pay your campaign staff to do? Like, is this sort of the ethos of the Mitch McConnell campaign? They came back and they clarified these are just high school kids and were volunteers. But this was the response that they gave was that, this is from Mitch McConnell's campaign manager manager saying the media is using the image to, quote, demonize stereotype and publicly castigate every young person who dares to get involved with Republican politics. These young men are not campaign staff.

They are high schoolers. Team Mitch in no way condones any aggressive, suggestive or demeaning act. Whatever. Just a fucking boilerplate shit. But essentially you have like, look, boys will be boys, right? Can we just relax? Boys will be boys. Here's the crazy thing about it is think about having just such a nasty ass,

gross ass following, like a base that's just the most deplorable, disgusting human beings that even when they do something that is wildly inappropriate, you can't even just be like, that was wild. That's not what I support. I didn't know they were doing that. You got to be like, look, boys will be boys. You know, creeps will be creeps. Right.

But that's my fan base, so I can't insult them. I have to uplift them and then in the same token say that they do not represent me. But I can't piss them off because I need them to vote for me. Exactly. I feel like you just become become a shell of a person. Let whatever morals the crowd that attracts you or whatever, it just lets you fill it up.

It's like rapists for Mitch McConnell. Look, me as Mitch, I'm not doing the rapes. The boys will be boys. This is the thing. AOC actually clapped back pretty significantly. She said, quote, boys will be boys. Is that the reason why you've chosen to block the violence against women act two it prevents dating partners with records of abuse and stalking women also an early warning sign from for many mass

shooters from obtaining a gun and just sort of like right it's this sort of mentality right that that's what got Brett Kavanaugh uh confirmed of this idea of just being like, you know, when it comes to white young men, they can be boys. They're only 17 or whatever. But if you're a black and brown boy, you're a grown ass man. You should have known better. Why are you intimidating the police? Why are you playing in a park?

There are studies. Well, actually, this is my role in this now. There are studies that show... I'm not a doctor. Oprah said you were. Your book is on the number one bestseller chart. I'm rich, bitch! actually this is my role in this now um there are studies that show i'm not a doctor oprah said you were okay well your book is on the number one bestseller um there are studies that show that like uh first of all like with the whole like police brutality thing there are studies that show that like well most police departments it's like overall are like mostly caucasian

and they have an inherent bias that they think that black people are stronger than they actually are. That's where the animalistic they attribute more strength to children. So it's like combine those two things. Yeah and even with women that's why black women don't get prescribed painkillers as often because doctors are like black women are stronger. Maternity or maternal

mortality rates are insane for black women. Yeah like the whole black woman trope of being a strong black woman has really started to be such a detriment to us. Even like black girl magic. We just meant magic like special and worthy of love and they were like, no, magical.

How must you do this? Y'all bitches doing spells. Or something like, oh, well, what do you mean you can't make $5 a month work? Use some of that black girl magic. That's not how that works. The resolve of somebody is not meant to say like, oh, that's a greater excuse to continue to not give you advantages you need.

Right. You've been suffering, so continue. You guys, you make great art out of it. Just keep doing that. I mean, you got your Beyonce portrait in there. That's magical, right? She's wearing a crown. I don't know.

But this image is like, I just looked looked at it and it's pretty disturbing. Like one of them is like choking her and smiling. Yeah. And these, again, you know, this is the attitude that people have. Just, you know, boys will be boys. But this is, boys will be boys is the most toxic shit. It's not saying, no, let's, we need to actually begin to have an evolution around what we consider acceptable masculinity or what masculinity even is or means. How fucking insulting to boys.

Right. I was like, what are you saying about boys? Monsters will be monsters. You know, boys are fucking just predators. They're the worst. Yeah, but that's always been a constant threat is that, you know, women are taught to protect ourselves from men. And if we're not doing enough to protect ourselves from men, then like if the boogeyman, the literal boogeyman comes and gets us, then that's our fault. Right. Yeah.

But also, I just don't understand why Mr. O'Connell couldn't just come out and say what they were doing was inappropriate. I'm sure they're young and immature, but it's still not OK. It was more excuses. And that's fine. He literally tried to defend their actions did not say that their actions were wrong anywhere in there he just tried to remove himself from their narrative by saying that they don't work for him right exactly they said it was a non-school event um and they said the school they went to they were aware of the photo circulating on social media and this matter

has been addressed with the students and the families involved it's not even like it's like well we talked to him it's not publicly saying, it's like, well, we talked to him. It's not publicly saying, no, that's obviously ridiculous. Also, they need to all be in therapy because they all little fucking criminals. I remember when George Bush had his fan art out and shit. I'm from Texas. And I used to like erase the whites out of George Bush's eyes and everything before Donald Trump. And now I look at George Bush and I'm like, damn, was he a nice guy? Oh, like using a pencil eraser on a textbook?

Yeah, yeah. Still no. No, still no. But now by comparison, George Bush is like, y'all said I was going to be the worst president in history and look at you now. But no, Trump's taken it. Well, it depends, right?

I mean, you can have this debate all the time. There's a certain aspect of what is happening like out in the open versus like the open assault on our rights that Bush was involved with. So it's, yeah, that's why there's a little bit of revisionist history

to look back at George Bush but don't get it fucked up. I mean, he started a fucking war that completely fucked up an entire section of Earth. That's pretty true. But again, I get it. I don't mean to take

the wind out of your sails because yes, obviously Donald Trump is a fucking terrible president. But no, no, I'm saying that as a joke juxtapositionally. Yes, yes, yes, yes. But we used to, I'm saying that as a joke. Yes, of course. Juxtapositionally.

But we used to like erase the little eyes out and stuff as kids, but we weren't like grabbing George Bush's cutout crotch and choking him. Well, and then also too, but this goes on to sort of where we're at too, where again, just like with Brett Kavanaugh, we have, there are men that are rising to positions of power that are behaving in a certain way that we're trying to say is actually not acceptable for people to hold these kinds of positions.

And then you have these young people who are presumably engaged in politics or pretending or just want to troll people of color or whatever, or libs triggered the libs with their team Mitch gear who are sort of engaging in the same thing. We're like, no, no, no. This is something from the past. We're trying. Also, like what a fucking boring ass team to pass. Also, like, what a fucking boring ass team to join. Like, I didn't even know they had those shirts.

Like, pick another like hate-filled person who's like more active and has the personality. You're not even on the best Bryce's team. Yeah, you're not even, like, yeah, he's effective

but you're not even on a fun team. But that's the whole point though. Like, he's a grim reaper and like, that's chill because his neck looks like lunch meat. That's why they didn't put his face on it so um moving on though uh because this is another

sort of indication of where we're at um joaquin castro who is julian castro's brother um and campaign manager tweeted out um a list of people who are basically maxed out donors already maxed out donors to the trump 2020 campaign this his tweet was, sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump, the owner of Bill Miller Barbecue, owner of the historic Pearl, realtor Phyllis Browning, etc. Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as, quote, invaders. And has, you know, all this information down that says, you know so and so mary hewitt retired or mary barrett retired lynn lawrence jack lawrence corp so it's all these places and where they work the

right blew up and we're basically saying like you're doxing these people and you're this is no different than the hit list that the shooter in dayton ohio had now first of all we'll get to we'll get to these point by point this the reason this information is out there is because when you make a fucking campaign contribution, the federal elections committee there, they have all this information and it's publicly available. So you can understand because there's transparency and who is contributing to campaigns. This isn't, they didn't hack some fucking database. Also y'all, if you ever, this is a great tool for anyone really interested in politics and where money's going. Check out OpenSecrets.org.

That is a website that compiles a lot of this FEC information. And you can just search by candidate. You can search a name. You can find out if your boss, who they contribute to. Because the whole point is, this is publicly available. So it's not about doxing. This is a completely different thing also imagine supporting a political candidate and needing to keep it a complete secret well i think

that's the thing people are saying they're naming and shaming these trump these people who donate to trump so you do it so then you acknowledge that it is shameful to support a president who is so openly in race who's so openly racist and discriminatory and inflammatory no it's i think they view themselves as victims they're like then the antifa is gonna come after me like i dealt with someone who like was a friend and then i found out she's like on she's like both sides and i was like um and she was like well we're afraid you're a comedian you're gonna talk about it and i am uh and and she's like we live in a place where there's like antifa and stuff and they're gonna like target us and our jobs and like whatever.

Yeah, we will take your jobs. We will get on Twitter and take your jobs. Fucking yeah, I'll take that money that you're donating to like a bigot. Well, yeah. And also, I mean, the idea, again, there's a lot of creating this fake threat. Oh, you know, like you're saying, the Antifa people, they're going to come for me. The real threat of physical violence is coming from the right. That's all there for you to see.

But again, to create this sort of narrative of being a victim, then you have to create this threat. Now, this is where it got fucking wacky because old Doju Don Jr. went on Fox and started running his mouth about, oh, this is no different than a hit list. You know, I've seen what these things do. I see, you know, what's going on with the Joaquin Castro craziness

and putting out a list. I mean, that list, what's going on with the Joaquin Castro craziness. Yeah, let's go to that. And putting out a list. I mean, that list sort of screams like the Dayton, Ohio shooters list. Right? When a radical left-wing politician who's polling at about 0% does this for either attention or a call to action, it's pretty scary. I mean, that was the same thing that the Dayton, Ohio shooter did. This is a list. And people should be fed up of this nonsense.

This is a list of 44 people from San Antonio who contributed. So he's not necessarily saying go and do something dangerous to these people. It's completely different than that. Perhaps not to reasonable people. People are so fucking stupid. Again. Just because a list is a list doesn't make it the same as another list. My grocery list isn't a hit list.

What are you talking about? Yeah, you were about to hit them corn cops. I'm about to destroy the corn. Well, I have two points to that, two counterpoints. One is that this list is including people who do own and run businesses. And financial starving, like if people who are liberal or people who just don't believe in the racism and the bigotry and the murder that's been incited by our current administration, if they don't want to support your business anymore, then it's a

wonderful opportunity for them to starve you out financially, especially if what you're doing is contributing to hate groups. And in a city that is a majority Hispanic city. Exactly. Especially when we know now that these hate groups are actually emboldening people in these specific cities, especially to kill people of color. So one, that is a list that's actually helping people starve out people whose money is going to hate. I absolutely want to know if you're funding hate groups. I will stop eating at your establishment. I will stop buying whatever you're selling.

And then also, I know deep down that these Republicans feel such a deep responsibility for what happened in Dayton and for what happened in El Paso, because otherwise they wouldn't be using these shootings as a political tool to act as if one liberal act is the same as a Dayton, Ohio shooting is to make an empirical comparison to these events. Basically, you're saying that this is a liberal person trying to incite violence in the same way that a right winged person did. Yeah, they need that equivalency to try and sort of relieve themselves of any guilt. But to make that equivalency is therefore stating that it's true that the right wing really did have a lot to do with these murders. Yeah. And I think, again, this, you know, like what he's pointing out, too, right, Yeah, and I think, again, this, you know, like what he's pointing out too, right, is because San Antonio is a majority Hispanic city,

you should know, again, who your money goes to, right? If this is your community, then these people who own these businesses, the people should know, oh, yeah, I'm operating in your community, but I'm also invested in your destruction too. Right. And this is the thing. The people who you support, especially if you are maxed out at this point, if you're maxed,

meaning I'm giving everything I can in this cycle already, that means you've co-signed everything that has happened up until this point. That means you support every single fucking thing. You saw everything and said, yep, I'm maxing the fuck out now. I'm not going to wait a little bit and see where I've land.

You're saying, no, no, no. I like this shit. I like this shit. So when you say that puts Republicans in danger for being on this list, how? Right. Because if being a Trump supporter makes you a pariah because you are basically a racist, that should tell you something about what your support means, because that's called society letting you know where the rest of where everybody else is at. It's like, oh, this is how you operate. Yeah, that might that might isolate you a bit because we actually don't support this agenda and don't think that you could you could look at the situation that's happening in this country and say

yeah i want to continue this you know what i mean and there's another aspect too of like when everyone's takes are sort of like i mean this is so bad they're naming and shaming people like i said before okay good so you do know it, this should be a thing you should be ashamed of, right? Because I don't see any other, there are people out here who are wholeheartedly, you know, Kamala supporters, Bernie supporters, Elizabeth Warren, whoever, they don't mind that you know who they are because they're at least, they can say, look, maybe the candidate might not be perfect, but what they sort of stand for to me, I'm not ashamed of that. If you can't do that with your candidate, then that should tell you something. And again, it's this, this whole sort

of self-victimization thing. Again, it just, it's so transparently like, oh, I mean, like, God, we got to figure out a way to, to sort of make, we need a moment where all the eyes aren't on us and on somebody else for being, you know, the bad guy guy but i think that's all like that's all tied in like they they i think they're like naming and shaming thing like they do not view it that way they think that they are targets they think that they are fighting their fight like they if you talk to these people they think that they're like they're they're like being attacked and it's a situation where like the entire country is against them and they're like fighting for their own right sure like it's the same it's we like we view our actions the same way but there is an absolute truth and they're just like on the wrong side of it yeah and i and i also think that what

he did when he compared joaquin's list to the dane ohio's shooters list is what you said is right is that they were like kind of telling on themselves by like acknowledging that that caused that but i think they're also like taking the steam out of any of these lists. Right. So if like it happens again, then they're like, oh, well, we don't know when it's going to happen. Like it could happen. It happened on like the left side. They like made a list and nothing happened. But like on the right, you know, we don't know when it's going to happen again. Yeah. That's not even a list. It's letting the community know there are people who are who are benefiting from your dollars, your hard-earned money, and are, again, are invested in your destruction. And you should know that.

I just think that the right is so afraid that there is going to be a war. I think that everyone is starting to have a deep fear that they're going to have to atone for the sins, for their centuries of sins. There are centuries of sins. And the simple fact is, and we keep trying to tell people, is that everybody, every minority, every person of color, for the most part, is really just trying to live. There's no concern with becoming the master race that white people have. We don't have that. And to even call Antifa something like a group that somehow would be an adversary to the Klan or to Nazi organizations when the truth is that they're anti-hate groups. All of these groups are motivated by anti-hate, by peace, by freedom, and your groups are

motivated by hate. Yeah, right. It's like, look at the fuel in your engine. We wouldn't exist without you because we are trying to stop you from doing horrible things to people that are completely unwarranted and unprovoked. It's so weird what people will do when they feel backed into a corner. They really are just trying to hold on to the whole make America great again thing. It was such a great slogan for them.

Because it's like, remember the 50s when nobody was allowed in here? Remember when milkshakes were cute and white? slogan for them because it's like remember the 50s when nobody was allowed in here remember when milkshakes were cute and white like it was just it's like they they they're they're white knuckling and it's so obvious and everything is so triggering but now i feel like that's kind of part of the reason that they're so good at recruitment is because of this distraction like they're telling everybody it's not what it is right like people are so afraid of being called racist. And it's like, I have racist thoughts. It doesn't make me like racist, you know?

Because I'm like, my brain is dumb. I've been conditioned. Like, you know what I mean? Like you have to like unlearn all of these things. And I think what AOC said, she had a speech where she talked about how much we need to like, on our side, we need to love and to have an open space

for people who want to come back and she had a plea for them to come back it's not too late she said yeah it's not too late what we're not gonna compromise she's so fucking amazing and she's younger than me um but she like the fact that she she recognizes that there are people that need a space to come back and that you can't just like fully cancel a person but you can cancel ideas like i think that's very important one i think that's the danger of like cancel culture right now is like we could be so quick to just be like well you're racist and that's it the fucking doors are shut and this person now has to just be like well then now i'm gonna have to make the best of being on in this fucking world right like okay fuck that versus like being like look

it's 2019 we we get it you have 19 fucking 48 thoughts and beliefs. But like there is, just take a second. You don't have to be, you don't have to have hatred in your fucking heart because at the end of the day, I think what people on the left, if for people who are purely interested in like an equitable world,

it's not one that excludes everybody. Because I think a lot of people are like, well, this is just for fucking brown people and Jewss or something and i'm white and i'm white and they just want to take everything i have no it's about understanding that there is an abundance just generally that can be shared with everyone and no one has to go you know no one has to uh be left out and be lacking and we're not dumb like if you send like a rapist out of a community he's going to go to another community right like this this hate like we don't we want conversion yeah right that is what we want because you can't just like isolate people and their hatred from like the world yeah that's not like

that's impossible so like we don't want to like eradicate people we want to eradicate these ideas right yeah and i mean i will say this last because I think that to your point, Miles, people thinking that everyone wants equality for black and brown people and people just stops. Yeah. Everyone but white men. I think that white women, you can help a lot with that. White women, we needed you so badly in the last election. We only got 54 percent of your votes. If you are a white woman who believes that basically what's happening in our country right now is wrong and you don't agree with these things, then just take a moment to share that with your girlfriends and your friends. Sincerely. I mean this because you have so much power and we sincerely do need you on our side because it also points to the fact that this is not about race. Because honestly, affirmative action has benefited white women this is a statistical fact the most out of everyone so it's just like everything that we're trying to do is for the equality of all of us and we really need certain groups to like really participate more

yeah and and with that like having them ask questions i have like white women friends like i do this with black women i'm like yo black person check in because'm like, I don't understand something or I like need better clarification. If it's your friend. If it's your friend. There's also a whole internet and there's books. Yeah, there is. Right. And it's not like our responsibility.

Like you have to take certain responsibility. But part of that is asking questions. And I have like a white female friend who like phrases things incorrectly all the time and is embarrassed and gets like defensive or whatever. But she recognizes that and she's like, how do I stop stop this and she like asks me questions and she participates and i was like hey it's really fucking hard like you have to read a lot and you have to be like active in doing that and in seeking out new information right but if you want to be a like a good person if you want to like care about your fellow human beings you'll do the work and And I think on a different note, I think like,

because I've seen this argument a lot from like straight black people, cis straight black people that like they feel like the LGBTQ movement, like in terms of like acceleration of like rights has like passed them or whatever, which erases like, you know, queer black people in general. But my point is that LGBTQ people have been like born into families. Those families loved them. And then they had to make a choice, right, about whether to continue loving them or to like reject them once they like came out. And I think when you have to make that choice, when it's personal to you, when you're exposed to it, it's a lot harder. Whereas people

can stay segregated in like different races, Like they can avoid other races for like. Oh, you're saying that choice doesn't show up on your doorstep in the same way because you can avoid people of different backgrounds. Yeah. Versus if it's someone in your family, it's like, oh, OK, now this is a very real. Yeah. And I'm not I'm not trying to compare like the suffering. No, I understand. No, we understand.

The way you arrive there is much different. Yeah. But you're saying the way you arrived there is much different. Yeah. I also want to make this last point that I feel like a lot of white people feel like minorities have a racial high ground. Or not a racial high ground, but like a moral high ground when it comes to racism and stuff like that. But I really want to say that, like, I have to untrain my brain all the time. Like you were saying with things that are rooted in prejudice.

My cousin's a school teacher and I used to grade papers with him. And this was in Brooklyn and the names would be like, I can't even think of one, like Moncradian. And I'd be like, oh my God, these names. Like, how do you read these? And he was like,

are you kidding me? He was like, every name is made up. No name is better than any other name and everybody's name is a reflection of something that their parents gave them. And we should not judge people based on that. And I had check myself right right right it's like we're all we all have to constantly unlearn prejudice that we were 100 and that's what it is i mean acknowledge that nothing your work is never finished right and there's an ability to evolve because nothing

is permanent keep that in mind uh all right we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

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 boys. 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.

Listen to the making of a rivalry. Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back and just on to some lighter fare um i don't know if y'all ever have to deal with seagulls eating your shit or tagging your food at the beach or just in general um but there's been a new study now i don't know how the fucking scientifically rooted this is maybe uh the phd

candidate can tell us um just about how to successfully uh fucking intimidate a seagull from not eating your fucking food and i like this now this is a study from it was recently published in the biology letters uh from the uk do you know this journal okay maybe it's fake no it's probably um but basically they wanted to test like if human intimidation through eye contact has any effect on seagulls like sort of willingness to attack your food now the way they did this was they had uh like a bag of food out like a chips or something and then they would have an experimenter like some experimenters just looked like had their eyes turned away from the seagulls and then other people would stare the seagulls the fuck down.

Like if they got near the bags of chips. And after five minutes, if the seagull didn't approach or if the seagull snatched the food up, that experiment or that trial, they would categorize that as complete. They found that the seagulls took significantly longer to approach the food source when the experimenter looked them directly at them versus away. Now, some were bolder than others, but the overall findings, they say, just means that straight up eye contact, even head turning, being like, I see you, I see you, was able to slow down or deter the seagulls. For people who didn't look, they were much more willing to approach. I didn't even think this was a thing because usually I would just throw shit or be like, get the fuck out of here. That's usually my tactic. Right.

I'm going to have to get into the research scam game because somebody funded this. Somebody funded people going down to figure out if staring at seagulls was worthwhile or yeah you just had like you got a great yeah grant money you're like fuck let's just kick it at the beach we'll do this thing right we'll just we'll just stare at seagulls and then we'll like nobody who's gonna go out and debunk this research but like me me harvard harvard hit your girl up okay because i'm gonna go out and i'm gonna stare at seagulls and what's your degree background what are your bona fides your bonus okay I have a marketing degree. Okay, I like that.

And a performance degree. But listen, but listen though. I took biology in high school. Biology, wow. Biology. Wow. Okay, I took science. And I need to go out there.

Give me $300,000 to go out here and- And debunk this study. Yeah. Because I'm going to go to the, where are you going to go? The beach in Turks and Caicos. Yeah. And see from my suite. I got to go to study. Yeah. Because I'm going to go to the, where are you going to go? The beach in Turks and Caicos. Yeah. And see from my suite.

I got to go to Bali. Yeah. Oh, right, right. Because that's where the seagulls be the most trill. Right, right. And you have to see like monkey effect on seagull eye contact.

Right, right. Yeah. What's your PhD take? Okay, this is, like this thing is something that like the public will see like a headline like this and be like,

what the fuck, why do I need to know this or see a headline like this and be like, what the fuck? This is the new truth. Why do I need to know this or whatever? But then 30 years down the line, it's like a new invention of Velcro or something. You know what I mean? Right. Born out of this. All of it's fucking tied together somehow. People don't see that, but everything is very niche and specific.

So they're like, why do I need to know this? Oh, I love that. See, that's even further proliferating my own exploits that I'll be doing. Yeah. I would love to see you somehow scam your way into doing scientific research. I think that's honestly probably... She gets a PhD. She's like, I'm scamming. No, bitch, you're studying.

Yeah, right. I don't know. Whatever it is. It's like somehow you're like, oh, I work at NASA right now. I'm working on a new movement. She's like, at Mars. Right, right. She's one of the first astronauts. Right. I'm working on a new movement. She's like, at Mars. Right, right. She's one of the first astronauts.

Right. I'm like, this really got out of hand. I thought I was a scam man. I'm trying to put a monorail on Mars now. We're like, we have Chief Scamgineer, Captain Lacey Mosley.

And the freeze dry food and the next thing I knew, I was on Mars. Oh, so now you don't like your new Virgil Abloh designed off-white spacesuits? Okay, well, y'all are so ungrateful. She's like, do these shoes have red bottoms?

My space boots, my space boots got red bottoms. Your Tom Sacks Nikes. Also, another thing, I didn't realize there's a, apparently the rise in prices of avocados is causing some restaurants to thin out their guac with a secret ingredient. Now, I don't know if this, how prevalent this is. But due to these like huge spikes in avocados, people are, this is okay. Look, this might be surprising to you. But there are restaurants in California that have been essentially adding the calabacita, the summer squash.

And they basically, they can get the taste and texture right, although it's just a little bit looser. And this is apparently a guac scam. I know that this guac scam has been happening. Because she's behind it. And I've watched. Oh, yeah, you have a calabacita farm. Yeah, well, listen.

You got to get in early And the biggest way that I know this has been happening Is because I've been seeing Way too many advertisements About some guac that's got Raisins in it, pomegranates Seeds, coconut Like they putting all types of wild shit in guacamole

And it's to distract us From the fact that it tastes like squash wow oh yeah if you go to toka madera out here they put oh wow shots fired they put pomegranate seeds in their guacamole pepitas all types of stuff to get to throw me off the scent right of the squash wow i wonder if chipotle's fucking around or their their guac price if that shit is thick i mean but their guac price stays up i think that because other places like that they'll give you guacamole it's not necessarily like market price or it comes with the meal but at chipotle they keep that price high so i think even if avocados dip chipotle has never changed their price right

to like 10 years later there's no avocados. They're just offering squash. It's $10 if you want to add it to your burrito. And we're like old and we're like, you know, back in my day,

guacamole was made with avocados. Okay, Grandpa. I think he's having one of his episodes. I'm going to go into my drawer and take a nap. Yeah.

They're like, okay, I'm going to go. It's like their version of a house. Right. Everyone knows guacamole is squash and watermelon seeds. They're like, go play your PS18, Grandpa, and leave us the fuck alone.

Keep playing FIFA 4040. Stop trying to make us listen to Migos, Grandpa. I'm going to teleport right now if you don't stop embarrassing me. Honestly, if you say raindrop, drop top, we're going to put you in a home. I don't give a fuck. What does that even mean? It doesn't make sense. But you were cooking up dope in the crockpot.

Why would you speak words in music? That's disgusting. Right. It's like, I remember when music was audible, and now we just put these vibrating chips on our jawbones, and that's how we enjoy music. Right. In the privacy of our own skulls.

I say, it's your... And they're like, she's having a stroke. She's having a stroke. Please call the doctor. It's happening again. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Automagica! That was the one she used to do, and now it's the other one. It's happening again. Yes, it is. No, it's not. That was the one she used to do.

And now it's the other one. That's Hindi. What does that mean? I think it's like my hand or something. I don't even speak Hindi. I just remember that part from Get Your Freak On. But I saw that part and I was like, oh shit, we made it.

There's a lot of Indian influence Me too, because it starts off in Japanese. Because it's like, Kore kara minna de odotte sawago sawago on hip paper. This episode is sponsored by Missy Elliott. By Missy Elliott and Timbaland. Wow.

Okay, here's my first one from NBC Los Angeles. Watch live. During a police pursuit in Orange County, a motorcycle driver finds time to take out his phone and text. I retweeted this and said, don't ever let a man tell you he was too busy to reply back. Okay? He's literally being chased by the cops on a motorcycle. Okay? So get what you deserve.

Queen. All right. And then the next tweet that I like, just because I want to, I have to get Tawny. I have to do this. Sorry, Tawny Newsome. Tawny Newsome tweeted, Stevie Wonder just ate dinner next to me and I didn't see him. Please, no questions during this difficult time for my family, in parentheses, me. And I had to retweet that and say, well, he probably didn't.

Never mind. I'm so sorry, sis. And she goes, I wasn't making a joke about Stevie Wonder not being able to see. Oh, really? Then why you had said see then? Why you didn't say you didn't realize? She probably just thought it was some dusty old dude with bad braids. Stevie Wonder does blind jokes anyway.

Yeah. He gets in the car and drives. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's hella funny. He's gonna update his hair, though. He can feel where them braids are starting. He know. Yeah.

He know they done moved back. Yeah, way back. It spells out help me in braille. Shit. Do you have a tweet that you'd like to ask you? A recent one or can I just plug one of mine? Sure, yeah. A long time ago, I tweeted a picture of Will Smith's genie
