Offspeed pitch thrown at us. We're going to crush it. Thrown at us by the circumstances, by the universe. Yeah. Okay? So guest for today, one very funny comedian, Mr. Daniel Van Kirk. But he's not here. He's not on the recording.

Okay? Because people in other cities, not just the city he lives in, but people in other cities have heard about him. And they're like, that guy seems funny.

He should come to us. And so he's doing that. But the jet airplanes, they fucked us. They're fucking us. You fucking. You fucked us, jet airplanes. You fucked fucked us they're fucking us you fucking you fucked us jet airplanes big time airplanes and so mr van kirk is uh currently stuck at an airport in the midwest on his way to uh maybe i shouldn't say where he's on his way to. We'll beep that. But he did file some reports. Yeah, this is how much of a stand-up guy Daniel Van Kirk is.

We're scrambling. We're like, oh, okay, so what's good? Should we just find, like, we can find another guest or something. He's like, no, like, I got something for you. I got something. I want my voice on the show. So we have on-the-ground reporting from an anonymous Midwestern airport is what we're going to call this. Stand up comedian?

Stand up guy. Like truly that could be the words on his website. Stand up comedian, stand up guy. Yeah, that's right. One of the best. And yeah, he filed some report. Yeah, he filed some report. Not since years ago when I was pushed out of my house by the fires in Los Angeles. Have we had somebody file a report from?

Oh, yeah. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was just shouting at you, even though I was just at my aunt's house. Yeah. Still. Miles! Things are crazy over here.

Anyways, got another man on the street report so instead of doing a search history overrated underrated dan has uh filed he's he's conducted an interview from inside midwestern airport uh he's he's taking us on a little tour of a hudson news so we know what's popping yeah we're gonna uh listen to those reports, drop in some commentary of our own. Before we get to it, though, Miles, we do like to tell our listeners what we're going to be talking about a little bit later. We're going to talk about the Speaker Shit Show. The Speaker Shit Show, yeah. The Speaker Shit Show.

Now I'm just in a posture where I don't know if I'm reading misinformation or mishearing things like Bones and Dahl, just everything happening in Gaza and Israel. And now I'm like, wait, wait, wait. Oh, Speaker Shit Show, the thing that I wrote. Yes, the Speaker Shit Show, yes. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about the SAG-AFTRA strike continuing. We're going to ask the question that's on everyone's mind.

Is Taylor Swift too powerful at this point's the reviews are rolling in for her movie and they're all just like yeah no like stop making sense the previous like you know critical choice for best concert film can go fuck itself oh wow the last waltz more like waft of balls wow because those things suck compared to this movie no they they really seem to like it so we're gonna stop making sense stop making sense of the talking heads jonathan demme it's out right now on a24 re like i don't know re-release. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mastered, remastered. And it's really good. I had never seen it, and I saw it in theater yesterday.

And it was cool. Just preparing myself for the coming of Taylor to the Cineplex. I had to see what else existed in this genre. But anyways, I just want to ask the question, is this the most famous a single person has ever been no in our lifetime no okay wait so i have i have some other options that okay we'll go we'll get it yeah we'll get it i mean not to say i mean by far she's she is like she is approaching even another height of her powers for sure most famous like you kind of to pass that test,

you kind of got to just be able to show a picture to somebody anywhere in the world. And they're immediately like, Oh yeah, I already know. Ba da ba ba ba. Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe in America. I don't know. Oh, you by far, by far the most famous anyone's ever been in America. No, no, no,

right now. The most famous entertainer like everything we'll get into it there's a lot there's a lot going on yeah yeah also good news though we might not have time to get to but m&ms are going to be delivering m&ms to people's houses on halloween night if you're out that's okay really i'll test that i'll touch that theory yeah anyways uh all of that plenty more but before we get to any of that shit miles uh we do want to check in with a report from dingo van kirk on the ground in a midwestern airport filing from his phone and just he just like recorded it sent it to us over email this morning so so let's listen. This is an interview with somebody who works for one of the airlines.

And wanting to, I think he starts off just from the little bit I heard at the very beginning, getting some travel tips from who else who would know best than somebody who works at the airport. Here we go. Hey, it's Daniel Van Kirk. I am doing an on-the-ground reporting for the Daily Zeitgeist, the best podcast to get all the happenings going on around the world. I'm actually at the airport in the Midwest right now talking to somebody who knows TM,

the best place to get all the happenings. I guess better than anybody. They work for an airline in the Midwest. I want to ask you you let's call you max and i want you to not let's call you max saying anything what's the what's the best tip like around thanksgiving christmas season how early should somebody get to the airport because i have my theory but i want to hear you i'm two hours miles three hours early three consolidate your bags wait you really think three hours

i mean i don't think that's too far off have you been to the airport yeah you're giving yourself two two hours traveling domestic during the holidays yeah maybe the holiday is a little different but i have a hard time getting that extra hour, getting myself to commit to the extra hour. I do two hours. That's like my standard for domestic flights, usually, because that's usually what it is. Unless I'm flying out of Burbank. Shout out Burbank, which I'll pull up 30 minutes before boarding and I'm good. I treat Burbank like I'm catching the bus.

I'm like waiting for the plane as people are boarding. I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey, don't miss me. Don't miss me. Hey, don't close the door. Don't close it. I'm catching the bus. I'm like waiting for the plane as people are boarding. I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey, don't miss me. Don't miss me. Hey, don't close the door. Don't close it. I'm here, asshole. Let me in.

If you're going to make me walk outside to get to my plane, you better assume that I'm going to be a little bit haphazard. Exactly. Here we go. Moving on. So he's saying three hours. Yeah. Security. I mean, that's saying three hours. Yeah. Security.

I mean, that's what they've been saying. Oh, because you just never know what you're going to run into? Yep. I tell people, even if you fly twice a year, you should do clear. Right? Yeah, that's a good tip. Because so many people are feeling stressed. I love this guy's energy.

This guy's energy rules. DVK pulls up to this dude and is like, hey man, can I do an interview real quick? And he's like, yeah, alright. You are listening to... Proof that David and Kurt could get along with truly anyone. Not that there's anything wrong, but this is just...

This is how he talks to you. This is how he talks to me. This is how he talks to the guy in... Yeah, at the airport. At the airport who works for an airline. Also, Clear't know you have clear no i don't know i don't know i have tsa pre-check yeah i got tsa pre-check isn't it clear like i feel like clear i didn't do it because like it involved more steps and i was like no dude like well you have to like do it at the airport and you have to like my wife keeps being like all right let's do it let's let's like get you clear now that we're at the airport but we're now we're never there in time why are you taking me to a

sign whenever i'm traveling i'm like i have a bag that's half open with paper streaming out of it just behind me so yeah now i wanted to ask you this. Do you have more or less drunk passengers around the holiday season? Way more. Really? Oh. Because there's people who don't fly as much and they have anxiety? Yep. They get to the airport, they wait, and they drink.

Yeah, man. Now, how often do you know ahead of time? Like, you know who your people are going to be before they ever even approach the gate? Usually see them sitting at the bar that's a good point though you of course your drink is fully on display at the airport you know that's not like there's like a back a back bar like yeah you know and and so it's just interesting to hear that like the people who work for the airline are clocking you as they walk by and see you at bellied up to the bar right with like an empty like double pint of beer and

three shot glasses yeah next to the thing as just like a whole row of empty shot glasses upside down on the bar like all right this one's trouble so i'm a bad flyer. I'm going to see you later. I'm going to see you later. Okay, here's another question I have. Is there a limit to how many dogs can be on a plane? Like physically? Like by the laws of physics? You could have 20 dogs. It could be like five or six.

Have you ever seen an animal that wasn't a dog or a cat? Have you had a bird? No. I haven't seen any, no. There was a story once, I don't know if it was true or not, that somebody tried to bring a goose or a peacock onto a plane. Actually, I've seen penguins on a plane. You've seen the movie Penguins on a Plane?

They had the SeaWorld flight coming in. No kidding? Yeah, they had penguins coming off. They walked off. Okay, now here's a question. This guy might be a little bit drunk, but... It's hard to tell. It's like, is he fucked up on Benzos on the job?

Or is he one of those super laid-back, one-note people? Because I have friends like, like, like where they have like Steven Wright kind of cadence and delivery. And you're like, this guy's fucked up. You're like, nah,

man, this is just, this is them. They got one tune they play and it's this one. If I'm wrong, if you're only allowed to bring so many items onto a plane, right? Personal items and a carry on bag.

I think that's pretty universal around airlines. But if you have a bag of food that you bought at the airline, does that count towards one of your items? Of course not, D. Daniel. No, but if it's a huge bag, they do count it. But if it's a regular-sized food bag, no. So could it be possible, if you have some third item you have to bring on i mean this is

great food bag put it in the food bag and then you probably will get on the flight with that item because they'll just assume you got like a 27 chicken sandwich people get creative carry-on bags that look like mcdonald's bags i'm just saying i'm putting it out there it's a brilliant idea just the right that we all have all these like new stealth bags to bring on because like yeah every airline's like hold on hold on man is your bottom your baby needs formula oh that's that's 40 bucks man that's 40 bucks oh wait is it oh it's mcdonald's all right never mind exactly wow this is heavy what is is this, 60 pounds? Man, just put it in the overhead, please.

My McDonald's, I just like to keep it up there. In most airports, if you need a quick bite to eat, because I have a theory that those pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, what do they call the ones that are circular? They've got a $17 half a ham sandwich right here is it worth it no okay never no it's never been worth it no one has ever bought airplay airport food and been like this was the right price they priced this correctly it is pure price gouging. It is the cruelty of capitalism on display for all to see. I will give it up to like in like a airport in the UK.

Like you can always go like a Mark and Spencer's type thing like M&S or Sainsbury's and get like just like the meal deal sandwich, which is like like three pounds. Like I'm like, yeah, OK, cut to Burbank. I thought you meant the like like three pounds like i'm like yeah okay cut to burbank i bought i thought you meant the sandwich weighs three pounds no three pounds sterling three great british pounds gb uh gbp and then at art like in fucking burbank bro the other day i got a fucking turkey sandwich you know how much that shit was yeah i do nineteen dollars yeah oh yeah i was gonna guess 16 yeah i think this happened to us together yeah yeah yeah yeah it's it's a fucking anyway but that's a that's that's what it'd be sometimes out here in the u.s i think people should be able to carry on guitars and play a nice little song

about you know jesus christ slippery exactly that's the thing though it's gonna be it's gonna be like fucking raise you up on eagle's wings or like wonderwall yeah you know or wonderwall but like it ends up being about how much you love jesus you know oh it's talking about a couple lyrics can you make wonderwall pastor vibes can you make the wonder wonderwall be about the passion of the Christ? Oh, yeah. Like his crucifixion? Like, today is going to be the day that the throne is packed. Whoa.

It's just Jesus talking to Judas. Wow. Backbeat, the word is on the street. Wow, talking to Pontius Pilate on that one. Yeah, there you go. All right, we got a point. Moving on. And then, do you recommend people park on the line like at the actual airport oh hell no i think it's usually better to find a something somewhere else no it's easier and more secure to park in the garage okay oh that's what i did here today so that makes me

feel pretty good about that i recommend you just park in the loading area The passenger loading area And then pick up your car when you get back It should be there That's my advice I don't travel much And then yeah, when you hop out Throw the skycap your keys

Like they're the valet Or the airport cops Like hey, you can't pass You're like hey man You don't have to gas her up Just make sure she don't have to gas her up. Just make sure she don't got any dings in her. Flights where people have opened up literal three-course meals on a flight. Is there anything that somebody could ever say like, hey, I'm sorry, you can't eat baked salmon on the flight?

Only if it's an offensive order. Okay, and that's a discretionary decision as well. It's up to somebody. They decide if they think that's too offensive or non-offensive enough. Alright, well, that's going to be my report

where I talk to somebody who's in the know here at an airport in the Midwest. I assume just from both of our dialects you can tell that we are in St. Louis and everybody hates it down here because it's St. Louis. I throw it back to you guys. This is Daniel Van Kirk on the ground.

Wow. On the ground, not in the air, unfortunately. But what a report from the street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we learned a lot. Learned a lot. Learned a lot about each street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we learned a lot. Learned a lot. Learned a lot about each other on that one, for sure. Like, you really like to cut it close on the holidays.

You're trying to do like a Macalester family, trying to make the flight through the airport? If we are not frantic, we are not traveling. Oh. Yeah. What am I going to do? That doesn't give you, I mean, like, if I get three hours. So the earliest I've ever, i think this is part of it the earliest i've ever gotten to the airport was the flight for my honeymoon and we got there three hours early right and we did it up a little bit and

we got access to the like captain's club or you know whatever the lounge area and went in there and we missed an international flight because we were having too much fun and just and also i hadn't changed it was back at a time when like the phones didn't automatically change with the time zone so oh my god i've been married 15 over 15 years My wife still hasn't forgiven me for that shit. Well, like, but also I feel like the airlines usually like at a lounge like that, they they scan your boarding pass. So they have an idea of where a passenger might be if it's going to take off. Yeah, yeah. No, it was bad that after you.

Yeah, it's called the O'Brien rule. Yeah, but we got there. the O'Brien rule. Yeah. But we got there. The plane was still there, but they wouldn't let us on. It was really bad. Oh, yeah. And I was wearing a... My favorite kind of internet video. I was wearing a t-shirt I had had since like eighth grade, and it had holes in it.

And my wife had told me not to wear it to the airport because she was like, they're not going to be nice to you. And I was like, what are you talking about? I just want to be comfortable when I'm traveling. The shirt is vintage. And they were like, no, you're not allowed on this plane. Get the fuck out of here. Go back outside to rebook. You have to go back through security.

Go back outside to rebook. You have to go back through security. And yeah, it probably was at least partially due to my ratty ass T-shirt. You know? Man, classist bullshit, man. You're just a man of the people wearing your vaporized whatever. Was it like an REM shirt? It was a House of Pain T-shirt.

Oh my gosh. That's right. Yeah. You ain't getting on that plane unless you're leaving from like boston yeah yeah yeah all right all right although they're from la anyway yeah anyways well we're all a little bit wiser heading into this holiday travel season we're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna to come back and talk some news. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed.

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

Just come here and play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?

This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And let's get into a little news, Miles. We'll two-hand it. We'll do a little two-hander.

Oh, yeah. Speaker shit show. Get your tickets for the speaker shit show. Just a quick check-in with where our shitty politicians are at with getting Congress going again. Obviously, Snake Nips McCarthy is out. And now the real work, I guess, whatever you call that, begins to find the new speaker. I don't know, man. First of all, I just got a report that I've seen people like he his claws are so deep in the mainstream media that like they're writing articles where it's like, is he out, though?

It's like, what the fuck do you mean? Of course. It's like, yeah, but I mean, it could still be him, right? Like, technically? Potentially, it could. But at this point, I'll just report on the horse shit that we do know. Okay. Which is now it seems like it's all boiled down to Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise.

My, oh, my. Steve Scalise came out on top when the Republicans went to, they voted on them, you know, for themselves to nominate somebody for the speakership. But it's not nearly enough votes

to actually become the speaker because these fucking goons, they're just split again over who to support. Matt Gaetz, the one who famously was the brutus to snake nipple Caesar, or snake nip Caesar. Does that track?

Does that track? Was that a good one? Snake nip Caesar? Yeah, snake nip Caesar salad. That's one of my favorite ones. You could either get grilled chicken or snake nips. Oh, yeah. I'm going to do snake nip Caesar salad.

Hold the croutons. Low in sodium and low in moral character uh but gates is down with scalise but then you're like well what about me yeah you know me taylor green she basically said she can't support him because he has cancer uh-huh because he has like a rare blood cancer that he's battling he's like i just know, like was just being very patronizing. Like it's probably not a good decision. So I'm with Jim Jordan. Other various serious politicians, very serious politicians like Nancy Mace says she can't vote for Scalise because he was kicking it at like David Duke events 20 years ago, which is valid.

But she's not someone of real moral character. So that was more of just like an excuse to be like and that's why i don't like him but also i will court his support when i am running for office which she proudly does all the time she knows she's a republican or i don't know she doesn't even i'm not even sure she knows what the scarlet letter is because she's been walking around uh congress with a red a t-shirt on to be like they're shaming me for voting to oust kevin mccarthy and everyone's like huh wait didn't they all do that what the fuck are you talking about yeah i mean there's a few of them but she for whatever reason she was using you know tapping

into the histrionics and total lack of uh literary knowledge there for that one yeah and then you have like you know other shit like it says here she's just an anarchist well oh okay well it was in calibri font uh so i it didn't quite track as the anarchy a and then you know then there's also jim jordan because nancy mays like i think i kind of like jim jordan and we all know jim jordan as the you know i think that the the og starter of the house freedom caucus which are the absolute most goonie of the goon. And he's also, you know, a lot of stories are now coming back up again, because this is these are allegations he's been living with since I think for at least five years now, back when he was a like assistant coach of the Ohio State wrestling

team. A lot of the athletes were telling him about the alleged abuse that they were experiencing by the team doctor and he was just like uh i don't know i'm just gonna turn a blind eye to that and now like we're starting to see more like these like the wrestler quotes are coming back now that i guess he's seeking the speakership so anyway there's a lot of other dumb details about all of this but the long and short of it is that boy more oblivious than a sloth with a bag on his head wow is that I don't know just trying some different things out yeah yeah yeah I like that

I like that I want to keep it in Carville for our speakers of the house for some reason I think that's fun more than tiny gavel mcbangbang guy I mean that precious gavel More than Tiny Gabble McBangbang guy. I mean, that precious gabble.

Why is nobody voting? Why is nobody talking about that? I think because... Where are his votes? Yeah, it's like one of those things that if you want to keep track of all the dumb shit that happens on the Hill, we'd never talk about actual things that are of consequence. But yeah, the math is pretty clear. He needs 217 votes to get, uh,

to get in, you know, in a, in a full house vote. Uh, right now he only has a hundred and he's the one leading because he had like one 13 when he was, uh,

got the nomination and he went to go speak to like other people one-on-one and then he lost more support. So just, it's just going to be, I believe a continued shit show. And who knows if there's going to be another government shutdown because, uh, you know,

Bill's got to get paid again on, um, in mid November. So we will see how that funding is going to work. All right, let's move on to the thing. The thing that's of a concern and on everyone's mind is Taylor Swift. Does she get too,

too powerful powerful what's happening uh so the revolt the reviews i think what inspired this what why did you why did you like what what what probably to the point like metacritic is this too powerful oh metacritic your favorite metacritic 94 she's got 94 on metacritic, the reviews for Taylor Swift, the heiress tour. Like they're treating it like, I mean, don't don't look now. Don't say Oscar front runner, but don't not say it either. The other thing I was like, so how much are they expecting us to make? Like, obviously, it sold a lot of presale tickets.

The movie of her tour is expected to make $150 to $200 million in its first weekend. The top grossing concert film of all time is Justin Bieber doing the Bieber. It's not the One Direction one? The One Direction one didn't even do Bieber numbers? No. Bieber at the top. Mostly off domestic. You know?

He's very. Off domestic, yeah. i don't know what the name of this concert movie is i did i feel like they're all named by the same person don't stop believing don't stop believing is that what it is no it can't be they wouldn't they wouldn't call it that but justin bieber our world the amazon original or justin bieber's believe or just believe i think it's never or never say i don't know man but anyways it topped out at 99 million dollars total taylor swift is expected to possibly double that in the first weekend of her film she's she's taken over nfl fandom like the thing

that is notorious for being the most mainstream popular thing in the United States is the Super Bowl. She's making the NFL more popular than it's ever been by attending games and fucking one of its players. Amazing.

She's in the mix. I see your point here. She's taking the NFL to another level without even being an athlete without being an athlete so that's what I'm saying so like I've heard the question like is this the most famous anyone has been

in our lifetime like and I don't think it is I think it's still for me like the the other person I heard, heard mentioned was Michael Jackson. Yeah. I don't,

I don't think that's, I think she might be bigger than Michael Jackson at its peak. In the world? In the United States, I think. Not in the world. I can only speak to the United States. Probably not in the world.

No, no way. Because you couldn't pull up with Taylor Swift's picture in, like, West Africa. Yeah, that's right. And have everybody know, like, people, like, there are murals of, like, you know, Michael Jackson and other parts of the world and shit. Like, I even played Bob Marley. Yeah, yeah. For sure.

Like, for that instance. But, yeah, okay. Like, in the U.S. right now, I think the powers are absurd. I mean, like, because I've seen people that always want to compare her and Beyonce. Beyonce came to the premiere of the era's documentary. Right. At the Grove. I mean, granted, Taylor Swift will come to the premiere of Beyonce's concert film as well.

Yeah, it does feel like a nation state sort of like hit for tat kind of thing. That's a setup move, obviously, so they support me when I go into my campaign to make more money off of my fans. But I think the debate I started having in my head this morning is Jordan. I feel like Jordan is the person in our lifetime who the last time

it was this level early 90s jordan because he had obviously the you know the thing he was known for basketball like just taking over the the world making that thing so much more popular than it ever been before right the the clothing the shoe line which taylor like that that's the thing i don't think she could do like he also had a hit movie in space jam yeah but you know but was it making 200 million the opening it was not it was not like breaking records for the genre. I don't think. Yeah. But I don't think she could launch a sneaker.

You know, I don't think people would. Maybe they would. I mean, maybe they would. She could launch a sneaker the way 50 Cent or Jay-Z launched a sneaker. You know, like it'll come out and people want to buy the S.Doc Carter or buy the Taylor Swifts. But that's not I think that's not where her biggest appeal is. I think she knows that she makes money by selling like keeping selling people on like her work or the material that she's making. Like as a product, she's great at selling herself when it comes to selling something that is not her.

I think she pales in comparison to jordan like what she she had a campaign where she was like the spokesperson for new york city for a while and everyone's like what why is taylor sweet just because she lives here get the fuck out of here like it just like didn't make sense like it right she really makes sense as like someone who is you know selling her very specific thing and i'm sure there are products she will launch that will be like will make sense as brand extensions of her in the same way that the air jordan sneaker makes sense as a brand extension of michael jordan right i don't know man i'm kind of i kind of want her to drop a sneaker to see how it do i know i mean we are at that point now.

It's like you just want to be experimental because it's like Travis Kelsey wears an outfit next to her and then that shit sells out. Exactly. You know what I mean? It might be to the point where I might need to just dress up in head-to-toe Zeitgeist merch and just try and run up in a paparazzi photo. Yeah. Just to see what's happening yeah you know what i mean and like but like set it up where they're like taylor swift helps ethnically ambiguous man after he falls down in front of her you know and then people are like

oh my god she's so sweet and like that guy was like oh my god his podcast it's kind of mid or whatever but like right it's cool it's cool yeah. Yeah. It also like, I was, as I was thinking about this, this morning, I was, I'm like going back through the most famous people. I went past Kanye, you know, cause he had a moment where he was like all powerful. Like, so, you know, the most famous person in music. And it made me think of that moment before Taylor Swift was like fully Taylor Swift, but like Kanye, I don't know it kind of puts that moment in a new perspective like it feels like his superpower of narcissism had this like uncanny sense before the rest of us that he was dealing with like a vortex of like super fame

in Taylor Swift and was just like I have to do something i have to stop this i have to jump like he's a time traveler yeah yeah he's john connor trying to end the taylor swift era's record breakers i mean yeah yeah i don't know it there's the the fucking fame is so undeniable like and the money being made is undeniable and like it's wild like even like you're like oh yeah like you for a second because of how much attention taylor swift is getting you're first thinking like is beyonce less popular and you're like no because that tour is also changing local economies and fucking up transit and all kinds of other things so this is just a very i don't know i mean like this is just taylor

at a very at a peak of her powers. Yeah. And the money making. My God. I mean, she does at this point, if she's a true capitalist, she does need to take a big swing on like a vanity project that will really test the fans. They'd be like, okay, that's a bit too far. Yeah. Like an experimental film that with a budget of a hundred million dollars.

That, or I was just going to say like some kind of like newfangled technology yeah you know where she's like oh you need like my brand of solar panels and power inverters for your home i mean that would be dope if she did if she used it for good but no i also have it baby come on i i've been talking for a little bit ever since we looked at the top halloween costumes and like fairy is top five every year and it's the only thing in the top 10 or top 20 i think that doesn't have like a major motion picture like to its name really like a universe of fairies and that's kind of her aesthetic, having seen... She has some of her eras take place in a mystical, magical, foresty land.

I feel like this... Hook her up with James Cameron or the right director and create some sort of fairy movie. And the world might come to an end it just might be over for all of us okay she did that all right i'm just saying yeah we'll see i mean you know i don't know what her acting chops i mean she got me to you know buy more diet coke and keds and switch to at&t and direct tv so i mean i guess i could get on the get on i saw her she was in that movie amsterdam which is better, like more worth watching than I expected it to be. Like there's some fun performances in that.

Like it's a movie. She has like not that much time on screening. You come away being like, can she act? Like, yeah. Yeah. Not enough data but then i came away from her concert being like she has the most control over every square centimeter of her like just everything she's giving off that's how they all are that's the same as beyonce that's the same as michael jackson they're all like known to be

like there's not a detail that they're not like looking at and thinking about and what that effect is going to be like on the audience or the overall performance so yeah so if it's playing taylor swift in a fairy movie i think we we would have liftoff folks i'm just saying i'm still going for solar powers solar panels like panels do something like i feel like dollar sign through that that's like win-win right like she can fight climate change and get and make money you know what i mean at the same time because i think you know you saw how like republicans were stressing the fact that like she she like doesn't like she's that she would go against the republicans or like register kids to vote for like democrats and shit. Yeah. But then again, a lot of people are saying like, yeah, go ahead, Republicans,

see what happens when you try and enter some kind of feud with Taylor Swift. That would, that would be amazing to me if like, it wasn't even Trump that fully did the party and it was them going against Taylor Swift. And then I might, and then I may have to concede that this is this, that Taylor Swift, not labor unions are the most ascendant force in politics right now. Right. Oh, bring them together. You know, put Taylor Swift on the... I mean, she's been...

Apparently, you know, those bonuses have been doing right by all the people that have been working on the tour. So who knows? Who knows? Maybe she's putting together a run. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about some more news. We'll be right back.

I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

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, Caitlin Clark

versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? Just come here and play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her.

What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back.

We're back. And we dug into it a little bit more on trending yesterday, but the Fright Geist has been updated and can confirm Ferry. Still in there, baby. Yeah. I'm just saying, Taylor. Top five. Have your people call my people.

I have nothing to bring to the table in this other than noticing something on Google Trends. So, yeah, have your people call me. I wish, like, as I scroll the list, I just wish one of them was just like, you'd be like, okay, Poison Ivy, Powerpuff Girls, Catwoman, Taco Bell? Huh. Okay.

I'm figuring out. Barbie's 48. That seems kind of low. Anyway, you'll hear more about this later. Yeah, Barbie's... Or you heard already about it. Yeah. Oppenheimer is 33.

All right. Sagastra. Sagastra. Yeah. The strike will continue. It does feel a little bit like MPTP was like, all right, now we got the writers out of the way. We don't have to actually give the actors anything, right? Right.

The writers will just kind of let us go back to work and the actors will follow suit quickly because the mtpd claims that the sides are just too far apart while sag after has said the studio's latest offer was worth less to members than what was offered in july yeah so many writers have pointed out they're like that was the exact same tactic they use with the writers like trying to hardball and be like oh yeah how about less and they're like then fuck you we're still on strike and then they're like okay fine uh how about how about this deal that was almost unanimously ratified so i don't know i don't know if they think that maybe they're dealing with a different sort of entity here like obviously because they're

like okay the writers they really got us but like maybe the actors we can sweat them out even more or something because it is dragging along and for the fact that they're like walking away from the table that's not always the best sign that uh they're trying to be serious but it's probably obviously all just a negotiating tactic to be like here's less oh you don't like it then you get nothing no dinner for you and then they'll be like fine then we d we dine on your corpse yeah part of the union statement also included detail the studios are still refusing to budge on the issue of wanting to create digital versions of actors and use them for all of eternity they're still still just like, yeah, we're going to scan your likeness, buddy. We own you.

And we're going to be able to make you do whatever you want. And we'll pay you a cover fee. This is like, I mean, it's like they saw like that hologram technology and they're like, what if we just nipped that in the bud? And we just got all of their shit now. And then we can, you know know what y'all want to see uh another jim carrey flick how about this yeah and then you will be played for all of

eternity by somebody in a ping pong ball covered suit because wasn't that like one of the pitches like people who are like evangelizing the potential of ai content was like you can literally think up a movie that you'd want to see starring whoever you wanted to be in it. And then that's for your enjoyment. And like, that sounds like a fucking weird nightmare. Yeah.

One of the Russo brothers, the like people who directed the Avengers end game were like, yeah, man, like all I've ever wanted to do is like see myself in movies. And so like now that's possible and everyone's like wait oh sorry that's weird nobody else nobody else wants to see themselves in movies that's just a lot of actors don't even want to watch themselves in their own movies but hey if it was me damn that

would be so tight what if i was ace ventura? Oh, for sure, dude. Yeah, no, that'd be sick. Oh, man. Wait, hold on. Are we watching a movie again? Bro, I can't watch you and Ace Ventura again. Nah, this is a new one, dude. I go to the Orient.

And you're like, no, no, no, no. Get me the fuck out of here. Yeah. You said the Orient. I'm like, is that wrong, no, no. Get me the fuck out of here. Yeah. You said the Orient. I'm like, is that wrong? Oh, my God. Sorry. I'm just I'm so focused on being my own Jim.

Are you a leftist, Miles? Because apparently leftists, the left hates Asians. So maybe that's where that's. Wait, is that what the fuck? Is that true that Elon Musk tweeted that? Elon Musk tweeted that the left hates Asians. What is that? Those dudes news to me i'll tell you what oh wow wow wow wow wow oh yeah that shit is that shit up still yeah it's still up what is he

what that what that means i don't know man oh they're talking about like affirmative action okay you know what i don't have time jack i'm just when i'm sorry i got away from social media it fucking drags me right back in no it's yeah but anyways uh seg after pointed out like the proposal means that actors even background performers will be required to be scanned in order to keep their jobs and they could receive just one day's pay for their digital likeness, which could then be used endlessly. Doesn't sound like the fairest of deals. Yeah, that sounds like bullshit.

Sounds kind of like bullshit, doesn't it? It obviously can't be bullshit because it's an official offer from some real companies and corporations. It would be so weird if they just did total bullshit. Where their generosity is known across the world and across the land. But this reeks of how you say bullshit. Anyways, shout out to SAG-AFTRA. Yeah, and WGA. They're still joining them on the picket lines. Because solidarity,'s that's how they're gonna get they're gonna get through this

one but my god it's like jesus we're just like can't they like i know this is like an oversimplification but it's like can't you just go to like your accounting people and be like all right how much money do we lose by like paying like because you know that's all that's happening it's like they're they're like they're like shifting numbers around the spreadsheet and they're like all right like so let's say for example we give them this how much does that eat into our profits yeah fuck fuck we're only gonna make 40 billion dollars next year if we do this that's profit but it's it's profit and it's shareholder, you know. Yeah, shareholder value.

Shareholder value is unlimited. You can't get rich enough. Like there's no upper limit on how much you should be trying to get for your shareholders and consequently yourself. Yeah. So it's a cool system that benefits everyone. yeah so it's a cool system that benefits everyone this is a good example of like what douglas rushkoff was talking about his book about like an industry having to go meta when you like hit a wall and i and i can totally see how they see how lucrative it would be to own people's likenesses and then just iterate like digitally on that and be like oh yeah dude that's that's the next thing for us to completely fuck it all up yeah

and with that idea will win out over equality like that's the thing that i feel like people still don't fully get is how shitty the ai generated stuff could still be with them being like willing to take a chance on it right right right i mean this like the whole appeal of ace ventura is like how is jim carrey's performance and now it's the rampant transphobia that you don't realize you get much older and now it's just me but i look like one of those polar express like you know video game characters from the late 90s. Why would I want this? Put yourself in the Polar Express,

so then it feels less off-putting, and everyone's kind of freaky. Yeah. You could convince me that that's just what... They just did that with Tom Hanks, and they were like, I don't know, I guess we could release it. Right. Because he plays five different characters.

Yeah. Very strange. Anyways, hopefully... it right because he is he plays like five different characters yeah very strange anyways uh hopefully i i wish unto you children who are not into trains and therefore make you watch the polar express i was not in the trains was not into trains i like the only thing that i liked was like when i was in japan was being at the very front of the train so i could watch the conductor you like move the train around. And then I was so bummed out that it wasn't all like active. Like he wasn't shoveling coal into a fucking furnace.

Like, he's just like a very simple dial. He used to control the train. I'm like, this is not high stakes. Yeah. And it only goes up in speed and down in speed. You can't really even turn because turns out because the

nature on the rails this damn thing's on rails i will say i got i got a much greater appreciation for trains how cool they are like you know model trains all that stuff and polar express made it let like not worth it yeah i think the only thing i liked is like not even the concept of a train like like looking at it like i just wanted to be inside like i wanted to be like i like i was more into like interested in like the interior of a thing like the inside of a plane versus like seeing planes i'm like what are the seats like what does a bathroom look like what do you eat what's the table there's a tv yeah that was back when they used to have like the Like two TVs in the aisles You could just all watch on like a Cathode ray tube TV

Like a CRT TV and then they would Project it remember do you remember this like They would just show one movie on airplanes Yeah yeah yeah back when you got like the one movie show Yeah I'm telling you these kids They don't know could you turn on the TV for us And coach yeah This one's not working

This one's not working could i move more towards the front i can't see it through all the cigarette smoke or did i remember you stuff i used to find butts like in the ashtray in the armrest well yeah they they made it non-smoking but they just kept ashtrays everywhere yeah like they're like but look we're saying non-smoking but like you're gonna smoke probably right it blew my mind like as a kid like because it was always in the armrest and you know your kid you fidget with stuff you pull that little cigarette ashtray thing open like there's an actual butt in here and like okay whatever yeah thanks thanks united thanks a lot guys well well speaking of air travel

We've just Received another report from the ground From our man On the ground At the airport That just won't let him leave Should we check in with Daniel Van Kirk Let's check with him

I think he's at a Hudson News now Alright, here we go Letting us know what the sick-ass trends are. Just kind of the general goings-on. Daniel Van Kirk for the Daily Zeitgeist. I'm currently giving a report here on my continuing

story about airports in the Midwest. I'm sorry, is there like a porn being shot behind? What is that music playing at the airport? Yeah, it got a little funky there for a second. A little sultry. I'm currently in an airport convenience store. I've uploaded a couple photos I will send as well.

But as people travel and get ready for the holiday season, let's take a look at what is their options in the airport convenience store. Let's take a look at what is their options in the airport convenience store? Let's take a look at what is their options. Current books tend to be It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover. All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover. November 9, maybe someday, by Colleen Hoover. Oh, I've missed this movement.

Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover. Heart Bones? Oh, no, Miles. I've missed this movement. And Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover. Heart Bones? Oh, no, Miles. I don't like that. You know how bones and weird places is like my ick. I don't like this. It's fucking freaks me out. Anyway, okay.

Heart Bones is terrible. Heart Bones? Is that supposed to be sexual? Like love boner? Or is your heart capable of boning? Yeah. Like your heart would jump out of your body to have sex with another heart? The heart yearns and the heart bones.

Who is Colleen? I mean, I know she's just like one of these airport type prolific authors. Is that the deal? I guess so. Yeah. Zeitgang, if you are familiar with Colleen Hoover and the novel, the 2020 novel Heartbones, is the title a noun or a verb? Are these bones that are in the heart or are they saying the heart bones?

This heart bones. This heart fucks. Your heart may love, it may even lust. My heart fucks. This heart fucks. Heart fuck party by Colleen Hoover. You're going to love it. Let's also not forget these other popular titles that are being sold.

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover. Slam. Colleen Hoover. at these other popular titles that are being sold ugly love by colleen hoover slam colleen hoover but we do have without merit which was written by colleen hoover other options to choose are books like confess written by who's this this can't be that's colleen hoover every time i'm surprised be left of reminders of him which is a great book written by Colleen Hoover. Come on, Mike. It's also Too Late, Never Never, and Regarding You, which I think is a trilogy.

And those happen to be written by the author, Colleen Hoover. What in... That's actually a three-part novella series with Taryn Fisher. I am now on the Colleen Hoover Wikipedia page and Colleen Hoover is prolific. Yeah. I mean, I mean, I get that. Like, it's like, you know, like I think, you know, for for people of a certain age is like when Daniel Steele novels were like, like everywhere, like there weren't even magazines, the grocery stores like Daniel Steele novels. And then like the front of every bookstore was Daniel Steele novels were like everywhere. Like there weren't even magazines at the grocery stores, like Danielle Steele novels.

And then like the front of every bookstore was Danielle Steele. Is this the new Danielle Steele? Yeah, it feels like it might be. Wow. Young too, a young writer to have that bibliography and be just 43 years old. It does feel like the thing, like James Patterson did did this too where you have

a series of best-selling novels and then create like a company that basically writes books that are in the same genre as your books and like you just kind of oversee it maybe maybe that's what's happening i don't want to disparage you know the the work of colleen hoover but yeah i think tom clancy was similar but yeah it's it makes sense like just in a purely from a purely capitalist standpoint it's like this is a name this this is a brand that people associate with this kind of book let's get a bunch of people and pay them like shit to write those books and put smack that name on there. Oh, and I'm like reading a thing that like,

that like she's equally praised and criticized or some people say like her book, it ends with us is like romanticizing abuse and others. They call themselves their coho is what they call it. It was what the fans call it. I'm just learning way too much. Okay. So good.

Interesting. Interesting. I mean, I usually, when you write that many books, I have a feeling you're maybe not, you don't have like the deepest worldview, but hey, you're selling. You're selling. Okay.

Let's move on. I'm not sure how Colleen Hoover cornered the market on airport book options, but she is crushing it. Wow. Now you can also get a Butterfinger. It'll set you back $3.99. Or a Crunch Bar. They still sell those.

Also, $3.99. I was hoping for Colleen Hoover. I love keychains. People who get to the airport and decide, I don't need my keys for two weeks, but I want a brand new chain for them. There's plenty of nuts. for $7.99. That was a question I had, actually.

Just another beautiful day here at the airport. And it's a perfect day if you're a Colleen Hoover fan. DVK with the legendary coverage. Always appreciate you, man. Amazing dismount. DVK with the legendary covers. Always appreciate you, man. Amazing dismount. And yeah, I feel like this was like a Sesame Street episode where they're like,

now we go to the airport to check in with. They're like, yeah, Eric works, and the part where they put the bags in the plane. He's like, yeah, I put the bags in the plane. He says there's a lot of alcoholism. and the part where they put the bags in the plane. He's like, yeah, I put the bags in the plane. Well, mister. He says there's a lot of alcoholism.

What is happening in the dishwasher that requires it's opaque? I feel like a Home Depot or something or an old appliance store was the place where you'd see a display with a translucent door. It's probably because they don't want you to see how gross it looks when it's blasting shit off the pans or whatever but i think there's

little elves that come in and take the glasses and stuff out and hand wash them and they don't want you to see that have any of your kids asked about that oh yeah they want to see everything everything from the inside yeah yeah they want to see the they're like why does the coffee maker like why can't i see every part of the coffee maker right the blender it's like wait no don't don't start it yet and then they pull up a chair and stand on the chair and just kind of gaze down into the blender oh you let them look into the vortex oh yeah sometimes i'm feeling i'm feeling twisted miles yeah wow you're brave I'm getting that on air man I know
