I think March is where it turns around for us. I think we're the March coming for really Mmm, that's it's usually the powerful in my experience. I hope based on the Ryan Gosling film It's usually the powerful My only experience with the Ides of March.

Oh, think about this. If Trump backstabs Elon Musk and shoes him out, and then Elon can say, et tu toupee? What? What? Now we're talking. Anyway, y'all, shout out my history degree. Do, do, do. Brian, the editor, edit that out because we're gonna actually write that

into a sick work of satire that will be turning into a major motion picture. Yeah, there we are. A two to pay. I mean, that shit writes itself. Anyway, here we are. Actually it doesn't, you wrote it. No.

And you're a genius. I just said it out loud without any consideration for other people. That's how that works. I do wanna say things are gonna turn around for us for 13 to 20 brief minutes on Sunday as Kendrick Lamar takes stage for the Superbowl halftime show. No clever commentary for me. I'm just very excited.

Uh, just the, asking the question is trying to explain to my friend who is not a rap fan or a Kendrick fan. He's like, oh, that's who's doing the halftime show. I was like, yeah, well, you know, this song. And he was like, nope. I was like, what? You know, this song had nothing. And I'm not going to say anything, but, you know, each their own.

Very disappointing. What is that person? What do they listen to? It's a gay man who listens to a lot of like workout music, a lot of. It's like functional. Yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, yeah. It's like, yeah, I like to put this on when I do this rather than like, I'm a fan of this artist. Yeah, yeah. I think that's yeah.

Some people, yeah, I get it. Do you think, you know, he likes think Sabrina Carpenter, he like. Like, so the alternative, if he had done that and he has done that to me, then like, you know her, you know, this song. And I'm like, no. He's like, well, surely this one then. No, I'd have a Keurig. I don't know if I do an espresso and it's a Nespresso Nespresso.

Oh, I like that. And this was like, do you remember when espresso was popping and then Molly Lambert came on and she was like, y'all fucking with espresso. And, I like that Nespresso song. That was like, do you remember when Nespresso was popping and then Molly Lambert came on? And she was like, y'all fucking with Nespresso. And we're like, yeah. Yeah. So good. Did Nespresso do it? Nah, she couldn't sell the song out that easily. No, no. They don't got money for that.

25 years from now, you know? Yeah, yeah, right. Exactly. Oh, right. When like these younger people hopefully do move into the demographic where they can buy a machine, they can buy an espresso machine. The thing that I've been having fun with ever since going through the exercise of being like this one, this one, this one is like, wait, but which ones would I play? Like what as Kendrick's setlist? If I got to like design Kendrick's setlist, like who would I open with?

I know at the I think the opening would be mad city. Yes. Definitely. I think that's just cause it has like a, it has a, you know, you get all this and then you get, yeah, that that's an explosive entrance, you know, no puns intended given all the high security at that place. Yeah. It won't be explosive because there are no coolers there miles. No coolers only guns The one thing I everybody can just lick off shots when he goes The dome the dom's roof has been compromised. The one thing I'm really curious is what manner, if, you know, cause obviously the NFL halftime

shows a very sanitized environment. I think there's a lot of questions are, he's going to do not like us, but the question is, is he going to be able to do the certified lover boy certified pedophile into a minor part? The Grammys did that. They played that part of the song when he accepted the award. So we do have some broadcasts that are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. But I want to know like if there's what manner of protest, like what what sort of the undertones are gonna be of this show? I mean the music's gonna be

great, but I'm always curious how he will use the platform if at all. I mean like I'm kind of holding my breath, but I'm also like, this is the NFL. They'll probably like cut the power from the fucking Super or whatever the dome there is. Cut it off. Talk to you better. He said, and to Donald Trump, the lights go off.

Oh shit. We will be right back after these messages. After these messages, we'll be right back. Maybe it was sanitized with the Pepsi halftime show, but this is the Apple halftime show, all right, man? Yeah, that's true. Oh, that's right, Apple music, sure, sure, sure. It's been Apple since Rihanna, is that right?

Oh, okay, I don't know. I couldn't tell you. I don't know the history of the halftime shows. Yeah, but I'm excited I feel like alright is gonna be in there humble I need some good kid mad city But yeah, as if we like money trees is obviously just like a great song. That's too wavy. Yeah They're showing my vibe. Yeah, bitch. Yeah, bitch. Yeah, I don't know if yeah, and they're like that's gotta get cleaned up backseat freestyle could also be

Like I don't know if yeah, and they're like that's gotta get cleaned up backseat freestyle could also be Don't see freestyle would be so fun There's so many good answers from good kid mad city like every time you pick a song from good kid mad city I get more excited and chances are there's not gonna be a single song from that Right, like I'll take look I'll take a squabble up great. Yeah. Yeah squabble up TVs off Yeah, and also he'll probably have them because Sizz is also there too I'm guessing like Luther and yeah, maybe 30 for 30 from her album But we'll see we'll see either way. I i'm looking forward to I'm looking forward to tuning into only the halftime show. Hey set your alarms everybody. Yeah

show. Hey, set your alarms everybody. Yeah. All right. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, our president, is losing popularity for some reason. Specifically the idea of him having a lot of influence over Donald Trump dropped from popular among Republicans, 47 when like right after the election to 26. So after the election people like I actually want him to have a lot of influence that people being Republicans 47% of people it is now down to 26 for some reason we don't know why this is because it doesn't make sense the guy's killing it meanwhile people who want him to have none at all went from 12% up to 17%. And again, these are Republicans. They think that the best thing you can be the surest sign that you are a genius is that you're the richest man of all time. So

he was starting on third on this question, you know, and has managed to shit his pants on the way home. Yeah. Not even like, yeah, it's like born on first But then they put home plate in between first and second. Yeah Exactly gave him a huge lead Pitched it underhand with then course blinders on completely altered the rules of the game Yes, and he has shit himself on the way to running home The most popular answer is now a little influence. Just a little bit. But that's probably just because they didn't include,

would you like Elon Musk to have God-like unchecked, absolute power over Donald Trump and everyone else in this country? For some reason, I don't know why they did that. By the way, the overall numbers, so those are the Republican numbers, which you still expect him to be very popular with. The overall numbers, even less promising, only 13% of Americans want him to have a lot of influence. 25% want him to have a little influence and 46% of

Americans want him to have none at all. almost like they don't fuck with this guy for some weird I It's funny too. Like I see a lot of and I get it There's a lot of like articles about how Tesla sales are also just in the like just nose-diving because of Elon But I'm pardoning he's like that shit doesn't even matter anymore Like this this guy is approaching levels of wealth that like he'd be like, I don't even fucking need Tesla anymore, bro That was a means to an end for me to just get in the cockpit over here and just fuck around with the computers. Yeah, I can see him like claiming that he's divested, you know, like Trump was like, and I'm giving up all my Trump power of the Trump company.

I'm stepping away from Trump's away Boy genius wonderkins Donald Trump jr. And boy big balls over here Shut up balls. That's not really fucked up making Donald Trump jr. The smart one like the straight man in that Yes, like no nobody's ever looked dumber. Well, yeah. Yeah, I guess Let's take a quick break we'll be right back Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phone with an NFL general manager as you finalize the biggest contract in NFL history I'm'm AJ Stevens, Vice President of Client Strategy at Athletes First, where we've negotiated 1.4 billion dollars in current NFL quarterback contracts. Introducing the Athletes First Family Podcast, the quarterback series. Along with my co-host Brian Murphy, Athletes First CEO, we're pulling back the

curtain on how these historic deals come together. You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape. The ones who negotiated Justin Herbert's extension and Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract that sent shockwaves through the league. This isn't just about the numbers though. It's about the untold stories behind these massive negotiations and the relationships the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott, Tua Tungalva Loha, and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First. For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these

deals are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line. Listen to the Athletes First Family podcast on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What if you ask two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver, and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions. Over the years, we've had some incredible guests. People like Courtney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends,

EGOT winner Viola Davis and former Prime Minister of the UK Tony Blair. And now Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe and Cord Jefferson. Each episode is a new person's story with new lessons, new memories, and new connections to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to many questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Seven questions, limitless answers. Good people, what's up? It's Quest-O, Questlove. And Team Supreme and I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove Supreme with gifts you definitely don't wanna miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove Supreme podcast is we got something for everybody,

every type of musical ever. We enjoy speaking to the people who are the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers, but we also love speaking to the folks who were making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture. This season we've had some amazing one-on-one conversation like like on PayPal, chatting up with hip maker Sam Holland, shook a Steve Chad with the legend Nick Lowe, and I've had pleasures of doing one-on-one conversations with Willow, Sonata Matreah, Kathleen Hanna, and The RZA.

These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else, so make sure you go back and you check those episodes out, all right? Listen to Questlove Supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us.

But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me. I'm Ashlyn Harris, two-time Women's World Cup champion and goalkeeper for the US Women's National Team. In my new podcast, Wide Open, I'll sit down with trailblazers from sports, music, fashion, entertainment, and politics to explore their toughest moments

and the incredible comebacks that followed. Listen to Wide Open with Ashlyn Harris, an iHeart women's sports production on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. And we're back. We're back.

It was cool to see Netanyahu and Trump on the same stage at the same time. You know, that was kind of cool. You see a couple true G's. Just never seen like two pieces of shit be able to like stand up on their own. Like that. It was impressive. Usually they just like turn it a little pile on the grass on the sidewalk. But these, they were wearing suits and stuff. They were wearing suits, standing up all by themselves like big boys.

Yeah. Yeah. But they they did pass, pass stuff. They were in suits, standing up all by themselves like big boys. Yeah, yeah. But they they did pass pass a little gift between the two. And I guess it's made of gold. Yeah. So Netanyahu gave Trump a golden pager during their meeting in Washington, an allusion to a deadly September operation carried out by Israel in Lebanon, which targeted pagers used by members of the Iran backed Militant group Hezbollah, which is fucking yes wild. Yes deadly seven mass maiming event Absolute international crime. Yeah a lot a lot of people a lot of people were catching strays over this one

a lot of people a lot of people were catching strays over this one chill and now yeah yeah now you're giving here's a commemorative fucking pager that's like so fucking stupid like how predictable Trump is where BB's like gotta get him something made of gold you know hmm and then he's gonna he's just gonna love that he loves gold everything's gold it would be funny though Trump I bet Trump didn't even know what the fuck that meant. He was like, what the fuck is this, a pager? Yeah, I stopped using these two years ago. They made me stop.

They made me give up my pager when I got into office the second time. Yeah, great to see how absolutely unhinged these two can be together. And again, it's funny too, he's back on the like, no we're actually gonna own Gaza, but just not in the way that you think. And it's like, okay. Own them like the way Alabama owns Texas A&M, you know what I mean? Trump gave Netanyahu a signed photograph of the two of them, he signed the photograph to be a great leader,

or sorry, a great leader exclamation point. Which yeah, that was according to a photo on Instagram, but he's so New York. He's a golden pager for you. And then Trump is like, I'm gonna treat Netanyahu like a dry cleaner I go to all the time. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, New York dry cleaner. In your hallway or whatever. All right, man.

New York pizza place. Yeah. They were impressed at Mario's. So they loved it. You know, this guy also ethnic. I could just give him a signed photo as currency. That's that's wild. Yeah. All right. This is a fun story from people, a fun bit of click bait.

But that precisely the kind of story you don't need to be reading in People magazine. Yeah, exactly. Or people.com. But they know how to get people to click on a story. That's what the title people.com is short for. We know how to get people to click on a story. Headline lung cancer diagnoses are increasing among people who have never smoked. And dash, here's why.

We're not going to tell you in the title, asshole. Yeah, because that would be responsible reporting. It's it's air pollution. Air pollution is what's causing this. But I do love when the secret dark heart of our civilization is hidden behind a clickbait headline. Absolutely. This is a thing that there's been growing evidence and reporting around, you know, my understanding of lung cancer from growing up.

Like that's how two of my grandparents died, you know, lifelong smokers. But yeah, it was just the thing that happened to people who smoked, you know. It's like you avoid lung cancer by not smoking cigarettes. Next question. Exactly, next question, asshole. So this latest study reveals that it's the fourth largest leading cause of cancer death globally

for people who don't smoke. So you just take everybody out of the equation who has ever smoked, which includes me, like include, you know, uh, that's a lot of people, like not just like people who've quit, like anyone who's ever smoked, take them out. And the fourth leading cause of cancer death among those people is lung cancer. Well, they're probably lying about not smoking. Exactly. That's my response as someone from the petroleum and fossil fuels industry.

That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Because that, so by the way, smoking has lowered the overall numbers significantly. So it is still great that everybody, so many people have quit smoking and it seemed impossible like, you know, in the eighties, like everybody was smoking. So great work humanity on solving that one or like, you know, making significant progress on that. But hidden inside that overall drop is the fact that it's going up for people who've never smoked at all because the air quality is getting worse. And the stat from, people.com, shout out to people doing

the hard hitting research as long as it can be hidden behind a clickbait headline. The World Health Organization set a standard of breathable air for just like human lungs. And by 2019, air quality had dropped to the point that half of the global population does not live in breathable air. That would be really bad, right? Except it's all, all of the global population, the whole goddamn thing. We live below the standards? Yes, below the breathability standards. We're all... But my Apple Watch says otherwise. Yeah. Well, that's According to a standard that is not set by the World Health Organization It's like the you know, this is so willing frog where they're like we're gonna need

So we've got some corporate lobbyists here who are asking us to change the quality the air quality standards So that things are like a little greener, a little bit more seem a little bit more breathable. That is such a scandalous fact. It's unbelievable. Like I don't know how god damn these people are so fucking good at what they do and just keeping people fucking distracted from the fact that they're like none of y'all motherfuckers are fucking breathing in clean air at this point. Sorry. The entire global populate as of 2019 quote, this is a quote, as of 2019 nearly the entire global population lives in areas with air quality levels below standards set by the World Health Organization. Okay Zach, that's where I caught you bro. Nice try woke guy. Nearly. Nice try woke. Okay yeah yeah. Adrian woke Gr. OK, yeah, yeah.

Adrian woke, Renowski, stop trying to drop your woke bombs on us right now, because you just said nearly the entire global population. All right, my bad. Yeah, yeah. So we're we're probably fine. Yeah, we're probably fine in Los

Angeles where they say any. Have you seen that sad about like how all people who live in major cities all have like this film in their lungs like when they die regardless, just from all of like the, you know, the, the smog and just shit that spewed out of like vehicles and stuff. No, I didn't see that. That sounds good though, right? Film.

I'm a big film fan. I'm a cinephile. Yeah. Yeah. This is listed by Alec Carrick at Sanis. He's a guest on the show who does a lot of, you know, anti prison, anti police, uh police research and just, you know, yeah, fantastic lawyer. Just just does a good job of explaining like why we're out of. Yeah, yeah. Abolition reform. Exactly. And he as a thing that like the mainstream media could be covering

instead, he often lists air pollution. And my eyes sort of like glaze over and I'm just like, yeah, we know air pollution is bad, but like it's gotten so bad. And just like nobody was paying attention. Like it makes sense given the incentive structures that we know are set up. Like if corporations are the only thing that counts as a entity that has a voice in this country, the only thing with actual power to affect change and like the only thing that can actually protect itself from existential

threat, they're going to be free to pollute the air as much as they want because people don't have those same rights. And since the human breathers down here don't have those rights, our health is going to be ignored in a way that is, yeah, I don't know, it's just wild. It's a real like frog boiling situation. Yeah, we're now at the point where the corporations can treat us however the fuck they want. Yeah.

They're like, oh, I'm sorry, bro, we're only going to do what's right for us. So like, you don't even have to ask what we're going to do. You know, and when you raise stuff like that, people treat it as if you were being unrealistic that like idealistic people are basically childish and money is the only thing that is real. It must be nice to like, cause I mean, that's also a form of denial for people when they respond to stuff like that.

I think it's just comfortable. Oh, absolutely. Cause it's not that they believe that what you're saying is bullshit. They're like, look, bro, I cannot acknowledge that. I don't have the fucking mental fortitude to acknowledge that. So I'm just gonna shout you down

because I don't wanna fucking hear about it or know about it. Yeah, very, very unsettling. But, you know, maybe AI will help solve the AI is definitely going to solve change our lungs out for, I don't know how like the carbon sequestration tubes to, I don't know, I don't know, AI, please figure this out. Yeah, I mean, just in terms of the direction that AI is headed, Alphabet, the US technology company that owns Google, said on Tuesday that just before it reported lower than they had forecasted earnings, that it had updated its ethical guidelines around AI and they no

longer referred to not pursuing technologies that could cause or are likely to cause overall harm. Again, this is what we've seen with the markets. So corporations, the only thing with any like power, any like real standing in America and the thing, the only thing that they answer to is the market. And they're like, okay, so you're not going to like these numbers we're about to give you. But but in some good news, we are willing to use a to kill people now.

So I'm sorry, people of color, people who are oppressed, oppressed people around the globe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oppressed people that don't like actually. Oh, oh, you have my attention. Go on, go on now. Yeah, it's all this shit that they have to do for these, like earnings reports and how they handle the fucking market is just being like, sorry, we did that.

However, we are now fully engaged, open mouth, kissing the Pentagon to let them do whatever they like. We're helping them out. So we get this. We get it. We got it. We get it. We got it. We get it. We got it That's gonna do it for this Thursday Yeah, we are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show Isn't that right miles brand new brand new heard of that a brand new banger dropping on you. So

Check that out. Yeah tune in until then. then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines and get your flu shots while you still can. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. Nope. And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Bye.
