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,
Starting point is 00:05:03 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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
Starting point is 00:05:34 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.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything?
Starting point is 00:06:30 You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron
Starting point is 00:07:31 and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts hello the internet and welcome to this week trend edition of your daily zeitgeist
Starting point is 00:07:59 a production of iHeartRadio. Ka-woogie, Chris. Sorry, Brian. I didn't mean to max things out. My name is Jack. I'm thrilled to be joined by Mr. Miles Gray. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not doing fun AKs now.
Starting point is 00:08:19 I'm just a guy. I'm just a washed old man trying to make sense of all the iconography and symbology around me changing at such a pace. I don't know what anything is anymore. The cops aren't even on the box of cookie crisp anymore. You're like red or not red. The guy who gets out in Shawshank and is like the everybody went and got in a big damn hurry all of a sudden. All right. Well, sorry,
Starting point is 00:08:49 just, just a bit of lore. They changed that shit back in 2005. Wow. Oh yeah. We were talking before we started recording about, uh, the cookie crisp about cereal mascots and they changed away from the burglar to a coyote.
Starting point is 00:09:03 It appears or like a wolf. Yeah. Chip, the wolf, yeah chip the wolf chip the wolf and yeah i have since then not seen nor heard of cookie crisp so yeah exactly i thought they backed the blue i thought i thought you guys backed the blue i thought you were cool cookie crisp um all right this is the episode where we tell you what was trending over the weekend but first we get to know each other a little bit better by telling you some things we think is overrated underrated uh miles what is something you think is overrated overrated um video game reviews specifically about star wars games now this is sort of my gamer take right now. There's a video game I've been waiting for
Starting point is 00:09:47 for a long time called Star Wars Outlaws where it's basically like an open world game where you can hop on a ship and like, yo, we're going to another planet. We got to go to Tatooine now. And you can just leave and mob over to another planet, get on speeder bikes, do all this kind of stuff, do heists. And so like as somebody who loves
Starting point is 00:10:05 open world games i'm like oh this is perfect because i love star wars i love the aesthetic of star wars and all that and the reviews like people are getting early review copies and everyone is saying how shitty the game was like it's so bad it's terrible like it's not worth it whatever and i was like oh damn so i guess i i'll probably hold off usually like when i'm hyped about a star wars game like i'll get it i don't care about the reviews but all the reviews seem like universally like this thing is bad don't buy it i get it and it's really not bad at all like i i it there there are a lot of things like in terms of game mechanics that i think are different than what people expect so that's where like a lot of the pain is of game mechanics that I think are different than what people expect.
Starting point is 00:10:47 So that's where a lot of the pain is coming from. But it looks really good. I'm having a lot of fun with it. And I don't know. I think I'm realizing, too, that there needs to be reviews for people who are so into all the finite things about what makes a game a game. As someone who's played games for decades, I'm very savvy about games. there's also like an element of when I play a game I don't need it to be like the game of the year I just kind of need an escape where I'm like look at these beautiful landscapes like and I'm going so fast on a speeder bike I crashed into a side of a hut and broke it but that's okay because the landscapes were so beautiful and in the side of the job of the hut uh inside of
Starting point is 00:11:26 the yes yes uh that used to be a pizza the hut but it got you know private equity took over you know you know what happened to the job of the hut quickly but no like it was just one of those things were like the the public sort of like the mainstream public opinion of this game was so negative it was as if they're like dude if you pick up their controller and play this you will get a blood cough just from how bad this thing is and it was like it's fine i've played way worse games but i think i'm not a resounding endorsement so no no no no i'm not saying i'm not i'm not saying i'm not here to say this is the best game ever however like there are reviews like the sort of momentum of reviews is almost like do not even cast your gaze upon the game because it's so bad and i played i'm like it's fine like it's not like
Starting point is 00:12:10 i'm not i'm not supremely upset by these things that a lot of people are pointing out because for me again i need i just want a little bit of escapism i just want to put my music on ride a speeder bike get into some things with my hood rat friends and you know move on with my day so anyway i just think i'm reminded of my mother's stage like wisdom to me ever since i was i was my first day of school which she always said always have your own judgment and have your own opinion about something don't just accept somebody else's like you learn for yourself and i i'm sorry i'm sorry mama but i let the reviews poison my perception of it and then like a few of my friends are playing they're like yeah it's fine like it's not it's
Starting point is 00:12:50 not so it's not so bad i regret it just it's but if you know what you want it's great and i see some zeitganger playing i wish it was online so we could all play together but i would love to hear zeitgang's opinions of this game too because there's a lot of reviews kind of cohere and like influence each other and like we'll take on sort of a gravitational like pool where like if one person says it's like yeah then there'll be a lot of there'll be a chorus especially if you're like at the top too and like the prevailing opinions from people who are sort of like at the top of their review game is sort of like yo this just sucks right then you might if you also have a channel or something or an outlet like maybe you're just kind of like i don't want to be the one out here being like it's
Starting point is 00:13:33 not that bad y'all but i'm now seeing plenty of views now that the game is fully out people like it's fine like it's not again it's not the best game ever and i guess because of that people built up in their minds that this would be the best greatest game ever and because it's not the best game ever and i guess because of that people built up in their minds that this would be the best greatest game ever and because it's falling short therefore it's trash yeah but it is what it is and i think that i think it really does a good job of like at least visually pulling off like the the aesthetic of star wars now mind you i'm like like a not even halfway through the game but i'm just saying yeah i wasn't disappointed and I'm glad I took a risk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I feel like, like I, I definitely a guilty pleasure of mine is like reading movie and like music reviews. And I, I've noticed that they off a lot of times, like the person or like the, whoever's getting credit for a given movie or like a work like album or something
Starting point is 00:14:26 will get be getting credit for the last thing they did on this review like there's like a lag because it just like influences how you feel about a thing like and so you know people in the moment aren't able to like deal with their feelings of like a really great album or like movie and then you know you'll you'll suddenly see their next thing be like really highly rated the most highly rated thing they they've done and it's like actually it's kind of derivative compared to like what the stuff they did in the first place yeah yeah yeah um yeah there's just always a lot going on with reviews but i still consume them uh nonetheless yeah and i do too that's what i'm saying i live in the same way and i was like oh
Starting point is 00:15:09 damn this just sounds like an l yeah but and like the grad like but again it's i think with something like with games it really is subjective like people play games for a myriad of different reasons some do it because like they need to literally feel like they are in the most authentically recreated star wars world sometimes you just need something to blow steam off so you're not as invested in like how every single thing turns out but anyway yeah just just decide for yourself yeah i mean similarly one of my overrateds is like my ability to resist a list like the uh like the one rolling stone just put out the excuse me the list of top tv show episodes did you see that like the top 50 tv show episodes of all time i saw that people were talking about it like last week but i never i didn't i didn't
Starting point is 00:15:59 bother to like actually look at it because again i'm like what the fuck do you know yeah yeah it's fatally flawed like by design because like everyone's favorite episode is going to be like not this one 90% of the time so you're just like pissing off pissing off super fans but then for everything else like you're like oh yeah i remember that that was actually like really fun you know and then it just it is the perfect machine for just generating like the specifically doing tv show episodes for some reason i was like oh that's kind of a brilliant piece of clickbait because right it reminds you of something specific you're actually going to disagree with it because it's like wrong most of the time and you can't like pick one out of like an entire uh series that's going to be the one that everybody agrees with um but it also like by
Starting point is 00:16:59 getting specific you're like you know it forces you to be specific because you're like that's actually not the best episode um this is the best episode and it also reminds you of something specific so um i was unable to resist uh reading that and you know developing a lot of opinions um i think i'm just such a like a brat in my mind i'm just like if it if it's not if i don't agree with it from the jump it's bullshit and i don't want to be upset by you um also i have uh paperwork as overrated just i don't know i had an annoying thing happen over the weekend having to like so what are you a cop yeah all this goddamn paperwork i have to fill out um my body cam could turn it into a report using ai i'll just say i don't recommend having an apostrophe in your last name uh wait what the
Starting point is 00:17:51 fuck happened it's just like i had to basically i signed up for this thing twice and like once or i was signed up for it under jack and the other one was signed up under my actual name john and so there were like these two profiles and so i just had to like re-upload and refile all this paperwork i'd already done only to find out at the end of it it was like oh you just had to like report this but like the piece of mail that i got was like intense so i was just like wow you know oh my god i'm in trouble you will get blood cough in 10 minutes if you do not upload your paperwork i just feel like we're all constantly in this world of like especially in america like whether it's taxes or health insurance we've talked about how like in other countries
Starting point is 00:18:42 taxes they just send you the bill. They're not like, all right. So, you know, you're, you're not having to do all this paperwork. Having to do taxes is not like a job in other places, or at least it's a job that is done by the government behind a wall.
Starting point is 00:18:59 So you don't have to like deal with that shit. I'm guessing your paperwork wasn't literal paperwork, right? Like you could do this over the internet. Yeah, I could do it over the internet. I did not have to. I with that shit i'm guessing your paperwork wasn't literal paperwork right like you could do this over the internet yeah i could do it over the internet i did not i was gonna say my man japan you want to talk about backwardians dude it's every shit is still on paper like you would have to go to a municipal office yeah to like dude like they're like e-file what no bring the papers in here and fill it out and hand them to me and it better not be wrinkled you better bring that shit in a folder
Starting point is 00:19:30 too oh really sloppy yeah i mean like it's just more culturally like people would never bring like a folded like application like you would keep it completely pristine it's just i look it's we all we all have cultural quirks but having not not folding up paper that's i don't know not not for anything important that should be a folder i don't know i just i feel like it's a thing we all deal with and it's like a type of hell that everyone's just like god damn like you know like have, we all have hanging over our head. And like, um, I think in America, a lot of it is the right having been like small, you know, small government is better because government is incompetent and then depriving government
Starting point is 00:20:19 of all the jobs that make it not incompetent. So that like all the misery is passed on to us. And then the job of dealing with government, governmental bureaucrats is a pain in the ass because they fired all of them. But yeah, I don't know. I just think it like,
Starting point is 00:20:36 you know how you go to like a new doctor and shit and you got to fill out like 70 pages worth of paperwork. Yeah. I wish like I could just like, I, in my mind I'm seeing how my browser would be like autofill i'm like yeah yes yeah let's do this please i'm like can i get a digital version that i could upload into my browser that would practice well i mean it just has my address but
Starting point is 00:20:56 a lot of the stuff where like your your own medical history i get that that shit changes but i guess it's all to say my hand cramps easy yeah but you guys want to like give us a reason to like ai use ai to like get rid of all the fucking paperwork we have to do let it like intuitively know that just because an apostrophe is missing everything else is the same so those are same person um cut to when that shit completely misidentifies you as some like scoundrel from like 1800 murder yeah uh all right uh miles what is something you think is underrated underrated this is a quick one so i'm on the precipice of uh turning 40 this is my last this is my last monday Monday of being in my 30s. So I just want everybody
Starting point is 00:21:46 to know that. This is my last Monday of my 30s. Because Sunday, I will be turning 40 years old and truly going to the washed world. But I think what's underrated,
Starting point is 00:21:57 just like the small details that kind of make you realize how much time is getting, like generationally, popular culture is getting away from you. Because I saw some viral tweet where the punch line was about like quote like looking like the guy from limp biscuit and in my mind as somebody who has you know done a lot of comedy taking a
Starting point is 00:22:16 lot of input done a lot of improv you take classes and you know specificity is something that you always talk about in comedy like there's something a little bit funnier about being specific when you're landing a joke and in my mind i'm like why don't i just say fred durst right like that's that's the guy from limp biscuit it's specific and more funny uh but then in the replies someone also mentioned that they're like oh you mean fred durst and some of the younger people replied like who the fuck is that like truly being like we know the limp biscuit guy we don't know who the fuck fred durst is so i was like oh the tides of washedness have now come upon the limp biscuit shores for us to know that we no longer we are not close enough to use that kind of specificity and have it be understood because now there's a new generation like younger people are now just saying yeah the red the red
Starting point is 00:23:03 yankee hat guy from limp biscuit um and like that was just one of those small things and i'm like ah but i am of that generation that knows him as frederick durst right durst fame um and so yeah the youngs i get it it's like in the same way like when i didn't know um like i like i didn't know gene simmons was i would say like the the monster band guys like when i was younger right and then i knew kiss but i still didn't know gene simmons was i'd be like the guy from kiss which i get because again that for me that distance i'm like i wasn't fucking with kids like that to know who you know like they popped up in pop culture but not in a
Starting point is 00:23:40 way that i would be specific so now i'm seeing that happen with some shit that's you know like you know the limp biscuit heyday was like almost 30 years ago now so yeah yeah to see it good to see it all uh just just i just love to see time operating and the ways i'm noticing and not like oh i'm getting a bunch of gray nose hairs or like all this other weird shit i'm like they don't call him fred they don't call him by his name just the guy from he's just the guy from that's it it's over even though there was a guy from limp biscuit with a very different look but i'm sure given the west borland yeah west borland with the see like this is a wild contact shout out to younger people who are like you should have seen these guys fucking having a crisis being like yo west borough like who the fuck are these guys?
Starting point is 00:24:26 Right. Um, yeah, I mean, 27 years ago. So when their album came out 27 years before that was 1970. So, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:36 that's, I, I didn't know who, like, if you had been like, I mean, this guy's over here looking like Sid Barrett, I would have been like,
Starting point is 00:24:43 who's that? Like a, you know comedian or something and that's actually the singer from Pink Floyd but I fucking wouldn't have known that you know Chief Moon I think I knew who that was but like only vaguely like I don't know any of the bands from like 1970
Starting point is 00:24:58 yeah but I mean like it all changed you know like I remember I thought like Digital Underground i thought the guy was humpty dumpty yeah yeah like as a kid i i was like that's humpty dumpty well you know um all right uh my underrated uh one is just really briefly watching the U.S. open the chair umpire. When people cheer and they're not supposed to, the chair umpire will go, please, please, in a way that is so desperate.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Why? Please, please. please please like just the tone of his voice is threatening just like having a complete mental collapse alright pipe down Victorian ghost also yeah I couldn't place his accent because I really only ever heard him say
Starting point is 00:26:00 please but it was wild that it was like you know the US Opens open is a new york thing you'd think be like hey shut the fuck up oh but it was just please please um anyway i say that constantly around our house uh to the delight of my wife once uh and then i'm still saying it uh no no more he's like okay yeah we got it please knock it up sorry i mispronounced that my wife uh the uh i also want to just give a shout out to roy wood rocky three um and just highlighting the performances in that uh in that race um because i don't know like the music and context uh really
Starting point is 00:27:00 sell a thing i had not really noticed it the way uh the this twitter post made me realize but like he he's pointing out that like rocky looks like he's dying like he's his face is like straining he looks like he is having an aneurysm um and apollo flopping around looks like he is jogging yes um which like totally fucks up the contact like totally fucks up if apollo is letting him win this is like such a it's it is the climactic moment before he goes to fight like that like the moment after that is like they cut to the fight. But it really looks like Apollo is just like kind of amused and letting him win the race. I mean, this is the difference between having an actor in Sylvester Stallone pretending to be an athlete
Starting point is 00:27:56 and fucking Carl Weathers who played linebacker. Yes. NFL linebacker. Yeah. You know what I mean? I met Carl Weathers. His hand hand was bigger like his fist was bigger than my head it was oh i bet so wild i bet i just remember even that prosthetic hand he had in happy gilmore looked that is the one i'm talking about to scale
Starting point is 00:28:17 it's hard as shit too like it's a wood was he in character also sylvester salone it's worth watching we'll like off to uh the roy wood jr tweet in the footnotes but uh rocky's running motion is also like it looks like someone it's inefficient just let him test drive a human body for the first time and like he'd seen someone sprint before but like you know what he's when i watch it and someone who's been watching a lot of paralympics and olympics this summer like in terms of like sprinting it looks like in his mind he's doing he's running in slow motion like he's seen people sprinting in slow motion and he's doing that in like real time because he keeps slamming his chin down like yes he keeps doing like this like real time because he keeps slamming his chin down. Like, yes, he keeps doing like this, like head peck thing.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Yeah. Like to make it seem more intense. And yeah, it's just so bad because it's so clear. Carl Weathers is like, bro, this is jogging. Yeah. He's like kind of looking over at him like, is this motherfucker for real? He's like, is he OK? Yeah, but it's slowed down.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Let this dude win or else he might have a fucking crisis he needs it he needs the confidence boost right right rocky's just like being uh gaslit into thinking he's the best fighter in the world um and then everything after that i beat you apollo yeah man when they jump into the waves to like celebrate he actually drowns and everything after that is just a dream wish fulfillment yeah well it's in the liminal space of purgatory yeah actually to your point i think i remember there was they had a sprinter look at various movie running styles to be like who is actually a good runner and Tom Cruise was deemed like pretty good, but a little too upright. But like the,
Starting point is 00:30:08 the one who was like, yo, is that, is he running? Was, uh, Sylvester Stallone. I get that.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Yeah, bro. Muscles doesn't mean like you're a graceful athlete. Doesn't mean you just lifted a bunch of shit. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back with some news i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit netflix documentary

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

This is Lucha Lib behind the mask listen to lucha libre behind the mask as part of my cultura podcast network on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you stream podcasts and we're back we're back and we are one day away from the debate yeah um why couldn't it have been on 9-11 bucket i mean just and we just have like a 9-11 off of just like how much they aren't forgetting it because you imagine trump just makes a bunch of off-color jokes he's like i never forgot i mean i little did you know i saw them cheering from across in New Jersey and now it's wild I have the tallest
Starting point is 00:36:06 building in Manhattan that's the one that he's on he saw someone cheering in New Jersey yeah yeah he's like I saw Arabs cheering in New Jersey saw people cheering in New Jersey anyway I think he called into a radio show on the day of 9-11
Starting point is 00:36:22 and specifically said I now have the tallest building in the island which wasn't true um anyways uh unfortunately it's not on 9-11 it is on 9-10 um and he is still complaining uh he's kind of run out of like rules to complain about uh so now he's complaining uh that he doesn't want uh harris to use any boxes or artificial lifts which he considers a form of cheating adding you are who you are it was determined oh it was determined it was determined you are who you are okay so you want i mean a little are we projecting much sir mr my shoes my shoes my special shoes which many people pointed out like we we know we know you're you're doing you're using some enhancements sir yeah there's a lot of pictures of him in his shoes
Starting point is 00:37:21 where his heel is like peeking out of the top of the shoe yeah you know like anyone like look at your like your foot where the heel meets like where your achilles is there's that little bump it kind of rounds out usually you don't see that part out of your shoe whereas like this part you can clearly be like oh yeah look at his heel all up high and shit in that shoe yeah and then people say like leans a lot when you look at i mean first of all like in the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt like you said his he just kept asking for his shoes um and then do you think that shit was staged yeah the shoes would have been fucking glued on that is the only thing i see now on social media i mean like is people just talking
Starting point is 00:38:05 about how it was staged like that seems to be for what for his campaign to take a bigger l right that was so wild even if it was i know at the time people were like oh this is it he's gonna have all the sympathy now and win and sadly like just you know there was a mass shooting again uh in georgia last week there's so many happening that they truly, at this point, just get lost in our news cycles, for better or worse. I don't know if he staged that, but anyway.
Starting point is 00:38:34 The shoes wouldn't have blown off if it was staged. But also in the aftermath of the assassination attempt, when he was talking about it, he kept talking about how they came and tackled me like linebackers and like my shoes, like talking about how tight his shoes are on his feet and they still like knocked him out of them,
Starting point is 00:38:54 which is like, wait, are you still just covering up for the fact that you have lifts on? Why are you bringing that shit up? You just had a near death experience and you're just like covering up. My shoes though, okay. on sir um but anyways you know let let's go to the tail of the tape like a boxing announcer uh you know he is reportedly between six two and six three with his special shoes on i think most people who've seen him without the special shoes on say he's more like 5'11". She is 5'4 1⁄2", but with heels on, her height reaches 5'7 1⁄2".
Starting point is 00:39:30 All right, coming in with a solid three-inch heel. Okay, we like that. Coming into the fight. Terrible reach, though. He's six foot. He's got a 5'3 wingspan. Yeah, I feel like his arms aren't that. Also, the lift thing also explains his posture a lot of the time. his his wink he got a five three wingspan yeah i feel like his arms aren't that um also like the
Starting point is 00:39:45 the lift thing also explains like his posture a lot of the time you know how he's like kind of always leaning forward some people on social media have like suggested that that people say it's like going on there yeah but it's i always see two competing theories on twitter it's like either his cognitive decline throws his balance off and that's why he leans forward or it's his lifts. And I can, I see the case more literally for the lifts that are, have his heels off the ground, which is already kind of slightly angled you to the front. Not to say that this man isn't also melting from the inside out in the
Starting point is 00:40:18 right. Right. And we will get to that. Um, but he does stand like he's wearing a ski boots the whole time yeah like he's doing he's like mid ski jump like when he's midair um but a candidate giving themselves extra height actually has a historic precedent uh a historical precedent uh it's not that history it's not so important that it should be called historic but i miss misspoke. Uh, Dukakis actually stood on a riser in 1988 while debating Bush.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Um, and then there was a famous SNL sketch where, uh, John Lovett's playing Dukakis, like raises and lowers himself at the podium. Yeah. Well, there's like a loud hydraulic lift sound in the background. Um, that, that feels like one of those moments that like i know that more than i know anything that actual dukakis did is the oh that's all hydraulic yeah yeah it's like the and i can see russia from my front porch is from my home not what she yeah not what she actually said um but uh yeah so i mean the reason people actually pay attention to
Starting point is 00:41:27 this is that research has showed that voters have a preference for tall leaders possibly due to a quote instinctive reasons going back to caveman days uh which really just goes to show how stupid we all are we're doing doing this evolutionary psychology thing now? Yeah, I guess so. That certainly seems to be... The candidate with the bigger bust will also win because it will show that they're able to nourish the nation. That's right. Okay, go back to caveman days.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Yeah, but the taller candidate has only won 58% of the time between 1789 and 2008. Although I feel like we should only be paying attention to like after people knew what the candidates looked like right like they i mean i guess there were like drawings in newspapers or whatever but like right right they weren't um they're never like all right y'all go back to back you know how we do this every presidential race i said back to back yeah a barefoot barefoot if that was a thing like please let me know that would be wild if they just if they did have tail the
Starting point is 00:42:31 take your saddle shoes off mr andrew jackson this is a serious presidential measurement i mean speaking of andrew jackson uh lincoln who a lot of people uh have claimed was the greatest president ever before Trump came along but he exaggerated his height like he was already tall and then he wore a hat that added like 16 inches his hat was so tall
Starting point is 00:42:57 he said who gonna check me boo right so tall I'm gonna put a fucking 10 gallon hat on or whatever that shit was called yeah um stovepipe oh wait what's a 10 gallon hat
Starting point is 00:43:12 10 gallon is cowboy hat and it's called that because you can use it to scoop 10 gallons of water like one at a time until it starts leaking it doesn't actually contain 10 gallons right of being able to move 10 gallons yeah yeah hey man that's it that's a good ad i um but yeah i
Starting point is 00:43:37 don't know like i would use a bucket myself but do you wear a bucket on your head ma'am hell yeah like bucket head a reference nobody's gonna get this is the wash report this is the wash report but i i also like have the same question about this debate that i had about like was like with lincoln i'm sure the height thing showed up because they used to wrestle each other to see who became president back then but like dude are we gonna have like a jump ball at the start of the debate like why i feel like he would get washed even by five four comal if trump had to jump yeah that would be amazing he might break his ankle yeah he's like ah god i get too much air this i mean i'm the debate the prep seems non-existent again you on fox this morning
Starting point is 00:44:35 um they have people literally begging him to not be racist um seems to be the latest tactic which is i don't i don't know if that's good um because you know they got uh lawrence jones who's this black guy who's been showing up more and more on fox like in the last year he sat down with them this morning and he was just sort of like you know don't let kamala harris don't let kamala like bait you into being racist you know like what yeah that's the only way i could see this guy being racist is if he's baited into it. He's baited into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:08 It says, don't put voters in that position where they have to choose between their economic situation and feeling sympathetic or personal. Trump is in a peculiar situation right now because when you look at the polling data amongst Latinos, black voters, you see these gains happening. And there is a case for all these people saying that they were better off under his economy you want to keep those voters right there right well kamala harris is going to try to uh what she's going to try to do is get him into this race war right to be vicious to attack her as a woman um and i love again that they're like treating him like a wild animal yeah who knows nothing and look what they're going to do to the poor guy they're going to make him be himself up there right oh how awful you don't let him say the things that he thinks um yeah i don't know yeah it's a very good call out that a lot of this shit is just bullshit uh
Starting point is 00:45:58 evolutionary biology or evolutionary psychology shit where it's which i love they're perceived to be healthier yeah oh hell yeah that shit is the way that shit blew my fucking mind yeah and like i was oh my i was so insufferable like just regurgitating that to like women on dates well you think about it like we dude i'm not joking i like my i'm dying inside even thinking about how intellectual I thought I fucking was at 19 doing that shit. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Like, I want to ask.
Starting point is 00:46:31 I think I need to stop the recording and go have a fucking cigarette. Take a shower. Yeah. I don't know what the fuck. Anyway, focus on Trump. Oh, so he's been doing like over the weekend. He was posting wild, violent shit on truth social like i'm gonna lock up all my fucking you know the people who try and cheat in this election again because i think the writing's on the wall at least in their camp which is like you know this might look like
Starting point is 00:46:54 an l so we need to figure out how we're gonna steal like we gotta we can't fuck the steel up this time um and then at the end of last week he had a string of just awful awful appearances like to the point where you know there's been a lot of write-ups with like why is why isn't the media being like this guy is losing it like right in real time before our eyes like stop pretending like what he's saying makes sense like he's it's it's all word salad buffet um on thursday he went to the economic club of new york which is a group of like economic wonks you know people who fucking their whole life his people talking yeah talking about the details of economic policy these are the kinds of people who you cannot just pull up to and go well you know kamala harris the border blah blah blah when they
Starting point is 00:47:46 ask so this is a question he was asked directly at the economic club of new york and probably again you can just tell by you i started cringing when they were forming the question because i could already see him like trump ain't answering this like in a way that makes sense this is him at the economic forum or economic club if you win in november can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable and if so what specific piece of legislation will you advance oh my god this is starting to feel like billy madison business and also ethics although that was a pretty straightforward question but like you're right that the feeling is uh yeah and what specific piece of legislation you're like oh no oh you
Starting point is 00:48:36 can't answer that my man's about to pull a fucking revolver out like my boy did in the billy madison movie well i would do that and we're sitting down you know sitting down you know i was uh somebody we had senator marco rubio and my daughter ivanka was so uh impactful on that issue it's a very important issue but i think when you talk about the kind of numbers that i'm talking about uh-huh that because look child care is child care it's uh-huh you know there's something you have to have it in this country you have to have it but when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that i'm talking about by taxing foreign nations there we go and then he's just off-ramps to fucking tariffs.
Starting point is 00:49:25 He starts talking about tariffs. Wow. It's really great. And you know, you got to have child care. You got to have it. And Ivanka and Marco. Yeah. In his mind, he's like, yeah, these are econ.
Starting point is 00:49:38 They love them. So I'm just going to be like, if you compare that, if you crunch the numbers. All right, dude. So that was just so rambling a non-answer people like yikes dude this is absolute nonsense um and then he continued this streak on friday he had he just threw like a press conference because he was he had a hearing through a press conference just through it that's how these things are like they don't feel like well thought it's just like it's like a kickback where you're just gonna hear this dude be like yo i just learned
Starting point is 00:50:08 this track on guitar you want to hear um so he spoke because he had an appeals hearing in over the sexual abuse case uh from eugene carroll because he's trying to throw he's like they want a new trial because there was inadmissible evidence either whatever it's like nonsense and he comes out he starts in a in a an attempt to like bolster his case he brought up allegations from another woman named jessica leads who said trump assaulted her on an airplane in the late 70s and this is again how he's flanked by his lawyers alina hab Haba, like through this entire clip, she looks like she's trying to get the fuck out. She's like, this guy is fucking everything up right now. But anyway, this is him just being, because I think they're pointing to this woman as like some reason why his, doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Because just the way it sounds, it sounds like an old guy who's just shooting off weird sordid memories in front of a microphone. This is him. There were two witnesses one is a woman who's followed me for years uh she said in 1979 i was in an airplane with her commercial flight and we became very intimate i just sat down i i think it's like wait what what like yeah he does seem to be just like glitching out a little bit more than because it feels like he's just saying like he's there to act like he's innocent but then he starts it's as if he's recounting a real event from his memory right and he's like yeah yeah and there was this woman, this other woman.
Starting point is 00:51:45 And we became intimate. You're like, yo, bro, you're trying to act like you're not a sex crim. Right. What, what,
Starting point is 00:51:53 what do you mean by this? Then he goes on, he brings up the art of the deal a bunch. Like he goes on, this is him just bringing up the art of the deal. Just to be like, cause I'm so famous back then right ago and i sat down i believe i had some pretty big success then and i was being talked
Starting point is 00:52:15 about a lot maybe the art of the deal was out you know sometime after that i'm not sure but i was well known and passengers are coming into the plane. So now he's just talking about like, he's trying to say like, I was just out of just like, I was really famous. I think what he's trying to say is because he does this all the time. Like, and a lot of people do this. If I was so famous, why would I be assaulting people? It's kind of like what the gist is here. And then he goes on again.
Starting point is 00:52:42 He's going to bring up fucking the art of the deal again like wow just here he goes i'm famous i'm in a plane people are coming into the plane and i'm looking at a woman and i grab her and i start kissing her and making out with her what are the chances of that happening what are the chances and frankly i know you're going to say it's a terrible thing to say but it couldn't have happened it didn't happen and she would not have been the chosen one she would not have been the chosen one wow the chosen one he doubled down on that he was like yeah that's what i wanted to be assaulted to be assaulted by me she would not have been the chosen one it's so is this the thing that you think through frequently and have like chosen ones that you're
Starting point is 00:53:39 yeah i was just it's the art of the deal uh i was in i was very famous at the time it's like you're like bro this i mean you know uh my grandmother had her bouts with dementia towards the end of her life and when you start to realize it it comes out in these weird ways where it's like i wasn't even talking about that right you know like or like just confusion around what the conversation is about and all that to say this is these are the kinds of this is what he's like off mic he had like little cue cards that he was holding but he's like i don't know like he gave up on him once like they got out of order and he was like all right freestyle baby it's time for freestyle time for trump to be trump baby yeah that's what that's kind of what his feedback has been to people being like could
Starting point is 00:54:26 you not be you he's like i can only be me and okay we'll see all right how are you feeling about like the debate uh just inherently i feel like shit about it i feel like it's you know uh scary because of how bad the last debate went for people who don't think he would be a good next president happens and kamala bombs the fucking debate and they're like man yo i don't think that's going to happen yeah i don't either because you could literally just not say anything and and look up do better than trump right in a debate um but it sounds like, the plan going into it for Kamala Harris is to just look stable. Um, and like you're a leader. Um, and by that, it probably just means just ignore, ignore all the bullshit. So I think it's a pretty low bar to clear. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Starting point is 01:00:15 This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts and we're back we're back and tom brady made his debut as an nfl broadcaster over the weekend uh in what people have called the most scrutinized announcing debut in a decade uh i did not catch it so the reason this was a big news story is tom brady signed a 10-year 375 million dollar deal with fox before ever having commentated a single game um wait this is totally sight unseen sight on well i mean we've all seen tom brady sure wait but i mean i guess baby i oh right it's
Starting point is 01:01:06 probably he'll like he'll stop in to just say something for like five minutes on a broadcast probably and then leave rather than like he called an entire game he's that's what they're having him do they're like this guy is gonna be fucking awesome at this i know enough i mean i know enough about tom brady to know that when he's just speaking it's the most uninteresting shit i've ever heard in my life yeah uh they they didn't just like sign him to a massive deal to speak on you know without a script uh for 10 years in a row uh they like doubled the fuck down. Like there's this commercial in which he gets visited by like past versions,
Starting point is 01:01:50 versions of himself. And he's like in the lab, like watching football, getting ready to do the game. Like he's watching tape and he's like, I'm just trying to be the greatest there ever was at like talking into a microphone for an ungodly amount of money every week. And so they did all that. They ran this ad repeatedly during the morning games.
Starting point is 01:02:16 And then he started talking. Then he got on camera. talking you know then he got on camera um also another thing they did just because like they're so into like we got tom brady everybody is they like showed him watching a new tostitos ad in which he's like one of the people and like it's just it's just him with a rigid grin on watching it like nothing reacting to his own commercial yeah what kind of y'all are so stupid man what about brady watching brady yeah huh okay brady on brady on brady yeah yeah like they just like multiplicity this shit they were like we can't get enough of brady Even in the commercial, dude, get University of Michigan Brady, get Tampa Bay Brady, New England Brady, Baby Brady.
Starting point is 01:03:11 So many Bradys in the commercial. Then we'll do a thing. We'll do a side-by-side split screen where Brady can watch Brady in a Tostitos ad with Brady. So after all that, people seem to think Brady was only okay at the job, sometimes just straight straight up bad uh some of the reviews so like there's this guardian review that is so wild um i'm like i'm angry on tom brady's behalf i was like you're not talking to me like that the guardian yes so i'm just gonna
Starting point is 01:03:40 read some segments from this guardian review uh even when the words did emerge with more fluency, the thoughts they contained were invariably dull and cliche ridden. The stats sheet for Brady's first half alone contained one high IQ football, at least three instances of he's just so athletic. And a Dan Marino quote deployed as a broadcasting Hail Mary when it became despairingly obvious that Brady was approaching the end of a sentence with no natural thought on which to terminate it. They also,
Starting point is 01:04:14 that review goes on to say, and this is where it's like, yo, is this person trying to like, you're trying to fight Tom Brady? There's this paragraph listening to, like, fight Tom Brady? There's this paragraph. Listening to these dweebily delivered
Starting point is 01:04:30 hymns to organizational order, it was hard to escape the sense that Brady is a real company guy, the kind of shirt-tucked in narc who would call co-workers out for not showing up to the special, quote, Games Day employees were asked to attend on
Starting point is 01:04:46 their day off oh fucking ether random guardian tv critic just fucking ethering tom brady over delivered we believe aaron tims from the guardian shout out aaron tims bro you want you really want the all of the smoke um you know it's funny because like when i read this i was like okay i gotta find like the just the one that sums it all up and there isn't i couldn't find one that like truly summed it all up because everything i saw were just like just generally bad like uninteresting and like hey tom like what's the key here but going forward like they got to put some points up where he's like hey man if they want to go forward they got to stop going backwards got a lot of negative yards from you know penalties well like
Starting point is 01:05:34 yeah okay so i get that you said you were like hey in order like cool yeah but holy this is the danger of telling people they are the greatest of all time. Before they've done a single thing. Yeah. Like, I get it. You know what I mean? Like, I think a true goat knows they are the goat at one thing. They do not. Usually they don't.
Starting point is 01:05:56 But yeah, that would be. Serena Williams wouldn't be out here being like, oh, yeah, here's my fucking, you know, spoken word poetry that I'm getting into. Everyone like now look at me right now let me get all this money but like tom brady you're the goat at one thing throwball okay and like this is whole like his whole you could tell his demeanor too was a little bit sort of like yeah i'm killing it like in his i'm sure everybody around was like oh my god tom you're doing great you're doing great you're Tom, really good one. There's just people laughing silently, but in the background to be like, thumbs up-ing.
Starting point is 01:06:32 The finance guy at Fox is sweating bullets. He's like, dude, okay, man, we fucked 10 years? Is he even going to be alive? There's a former player, Greg Olson, that was new. He and the guy Tom Brady did this with were a new duo last year and got rave reviews because he was just really good at
Starting point is 01:06:54 weaving all this stuff together. He was just really good at his job. They were like, fuck out of here. You're no Tom Brady. I always find it so interesting. I justice for greg olsen was trending because yeah people kept being like yo they did greg olsen dirty it's yeah people just think i don't know and it is interesting to me that like it's not always like sometimes handsome movie stars translate really well into a director even though they're
Starting point is 01:07:27 not like great actors and i think that like that the way ben affleck and like you know mel gibson and kevin costner and uh there's other better examples of this that i can't think of right now but um and i think it's because they got to be movie stars without being able to act well and so they like understand how everything works around them whereas like really good directors like or where whereas really good actors like uh robert de niro or john turturro like they're the films they director, like at least not like big, massive successes. And I, right.
Starting point is 01:08:06 But like, I, I don't, I don't know the exact science of like, who's going to be a good commentator. Cause like, there's another quarterback who was like decent Tony Romo for the Cowboys. And he ended up being like really good commentator.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Um, but like just to assume because he's best quarterback guy that he's gonna be possible to even listen to is so weird it's wild that i was reading a tweet that aged terribly from this like talk sport radio dude uh like he said this was on friday this guy tweeted this tom brady's fox debut will be insanely good he'll be terrific at everything breakdown criticism fun stories and every week this season we'll talk about what brady said during the game on sunday it's simple he wouldn't do this if he didn't know he could kill it right uh-huh uh-huh he in fact did not kill it at all i think people who are massively
Starting point is 01:09:03 famous for over a decade are always good at knowing their limits and having a good sense of how they're going to do it. Everything around this guy. I mean, this guy isn't even the goat at describing what's happening in his own mind during while watching football. Right. Because at the very least,
Starting point is 01:09:20 right, you think was someone with Brady's career has at least the ability to talk some fucking high level stratospheric x's and o's stuff that would like blow the normal viewer's mind and i feel like can you not even do that it doesn't seem like it like i don't know you know because you think about like you hear like kareem or like magic johnson or like basketball like the basketball players they they talk about the game in ways you're like, whoa. And you're not even being paid to say this. Like you're just talking because you love the game so much.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Like Brady's just not even capable of that. I think that's a huge red flag. But hey, you got the name. You're paying thirty seven and a half million dollars a year for it for the next ten. Good luck to you. Good luck. Yeah. Yeah. seven and a half million dollars a year for it for the next 10 good luck to you good godspeed yeah yeah i yeah i feel like something about being the goat like doesn't necessarily because like jordan i feel like wouldn't necessarily translate well to like insightful commentary
Starting point is 01:10:16 his main no because the thing you always hear about brady is like man he works really hard he's intense he's super competitive um he will monitor every single gram of every piece of food that he puts into his body with intensity. But that does not necessarily lead to being somebody you want to hang out with and watch a football game, which is ultimately what this job is. The guy who's measuring his food down to the microgram doesn't know how to have a loose conversation with someone right so we'll we'll see we'll see man or we won't we'll check back we'll check back tom yeah and finally uh on friday uh aisha nor as gee a gay um an american citizen from seattle was shot and killed by the israeli military at a peaceful protest in the west bank um and the u.s government has responded with the policy equivalent of a shrug emoji crickets yeah like there's really like we're not hearing anything directly from the
Starting point is 01:11:20 president or harris no nothing um the wildest thing okay right because this is not the first time uh the like the idf has shot in and killed an american um i mean shereen abu akle was a journalist who was shot and killed by the idf in 2022 um that it the the way the like if you google right american killed west bank and you just look at the news things it's like the passive voice and lack of like attribution to who may have done the killing is mind-boggling possible to know what happened here like on cnn it said family of american killed in west bank blames israel for her death that's wild whoa they do okay uh the cbs news american woman uh asin or agi killed at pro-palestinian protest
Starting point is 01:12:14 in israeli occupied west bank ap news did a good job israeli soldiers fatally shot an american woman at a west bank protest a witness says um and yeah it's just like just not it's not even journalism that's what's like so fucking upsetting about all this shit is it's you even even as you describe the story maybe your headline is misleading but your story will ultimately say that she was shot by the idf but you don't want that to be the headline because you you're trying to protect sort of the the reputation uh of of the israeli military who at this point the reputation it couldn't be further like underground um but yeah it's all again because we're this wasn't they said violent behavior was happening because someone
Starting point is 01:12:59 threw a rock yeah um that and blinken is like we just got to gather the facts here investigate this oh who who well we're calling on israel to investigate themselves yes okay people the people who did the thing the okay yeah okay okay okay that that'll that'll work that'll work um yeah this is just i continues as like there's just there are more incursions into the west bank um and yeah this is a 26 year old who just graduated yeah uh and you know was there to to protest what was happening in the west bank and you you end up being shot by a sniper yeah no statement from biden harris or any administration official um so i don don't know. That's, yeah. Come on, y'all.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Please, just do the bare minimum here. Like, stop treating people like they don't know what's happening and act like there's something you can do. Like, this is the worst look is just to be like, all right, I don't know. I don't know. You see Project 2025? That's bad.
Starting point is 01:14:01 That's probably what's going to, yeah. We'll see. We'll see what other stories take the place after like an american another american citizen is killed but hey do it go on do your thing empire keep on empiring all right those are some of the things that are trending on this monday morning september 9th we are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show until then be kind to each other be Be kind to yourselves.
