Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. People are talking about women's basketball

just because of one single game. Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's basketball. And on this new season, we'll cover all things sports and culture.

Hey, Zeitgang, before we get to the episode, we want to take a moment to address the June 24th, 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe versus Wade. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what's best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. And this decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety and could have

harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans.

We encourage you to speak up, take care, and spread the word. Also, a big thank you to Ariel Nissenblatt of the Earbuds Pod Collective for putting this together because this is a just monumentally important message to get across to all podcast listeners thanks hello the internet and welcome to this episode of the extendables

that is courtesy of the brew i am jack that is miles and these are some of the things that are what a week what do we get week and what uh yeah so rudy giuliani was at a shop right campaigning for his son andrew of snl chris farley fame and currently running for governor doesn't doesn't really have a chance right no anyways he was at shop right when he was uh attacked by a shop right employee um the employee was arrested immediately and i don't know did you see the video yeah i did and i i saw what the first headline was yeah uh from fox or conservative they said he was smacked. Yeah. In a, in a, I was like,

Oh shit, somebody gave him five across the eye. Damn. The video is shocking, uh, for how completely impossible it is to differentiate from an, from a, uh,

at a boy when you like pat someone on the back and say, Hey man, good job. Um, that's the person walks up behind him and slaps him on the back. He described it as feeling like somebody shot me and said, if I wasn't in good shape, I would have hit the ground and probably cracked my skull. Oh, honey, don't do that. I'm guessing he didn't know the video was going to come out like he just kind of turns around once it happens that's how all that shit yeah that's how they all speak i was shot i could

have died luckily i have a six pack don't ask me to show you but i do right that's how ripped i am and then you see the fucking video because the person came up and what they said something like what's up scumbag because what they told him pulled up a little pat on the back hey all right what's up scumbag and then kept walking but it was i think the person next to rudy like touched his back was like oh my god rudy yeah starts like rubbing it like he got a little boo-boo or like a bee sting it's like oh i mean right where he got smacked and i guess too like you know, Rudy's not, he seems like a sort of a frail, decrepit monkey skeleton, as they described Mr. Burns in past episodes of The Simpsons. So, like, it felt, it moved him.

But again, I get that right now, it seems like a lot of conservatives are trying to look like victims or like the shit you see on Facebook, like of people being like like just because we don't agree doesn't mean we can't be friends just because i'm invested in your fucking demise physically like your death yeah yeah to physically end you that doesn't mean you can't wave to me or invite me over to have a couple claws in the backyard because it's i i still want to have all the things i have while

you lose everything you have this isn't that fair like that's the whole energy right now of a lot of conservatives and and many just don't even want to the other thing that i've seen too are a few people who are now conservatives trying to act like woke about this shit and being like well the thing is i mean if we're gonna protect these children then we really have to protect the the mothers as well the people who are giving birth, if we're going to protect these children, then we really have to protect the mothers as well. The people who are giving birth to the children, not just to support them through that, but even after the child is born. And you're like, that's all fucking bullshit. You're just saying that right now because you don't want to say, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm just here for theocracy and to keep the labor pool properly filled. You can see in the video where you're pointing at the employee, the employee being escorted away by security. I think they were arrested. It's worth watching the video. We talk a little bit on tomorrow's episode about the latest Supreme Court decision where a guy who was in no way being persecuted and set himself up to be,

they hate our Christianity type thing. The Supreme Court was like, they do, you're right. It's amazing that Brett Kavanaugh would side with that. But anyways, that is a real trend happening, is victimize others and then start going around pretending that you are a victim yeah when people rightfully observe you as a ghoul they're like that hurts don't right ghouls are fucking people no we're not people we're ghouls so yeah just gluing it up i was just searching around like wait so what are what's everybody's take on packing the court like that seems like the only thing to do right now obviously

and the only place that you really see it being covered is on like fox news and the national review as like biden still voices his opinion against court packing. But I think the fact that it is the thing they're reporting on probably is a good indication that it is something that scares them. There is an opinion piece in a major publication, The Guardian, covering it. The title is, Republicans have hijacked the U.S.s supreme court it's time to expand it by

david daly a new yorker writer um but that's that's in the guardian that's not in that's not in the new york times um right because you know it just seems like the thing we've been talking about about the complicity of the new york times and the washington post and all of these big mainstream papers in the u.s with like this idea that we gotta too much fucking deference for these ancient sheets of paper that we're we're we're not doing anything like we're going we're like in 1770 and shit and i get that you know the washington post or the new york times outside of an opinion piece doesn't want to call it for what it is and say hey guess what the supreme court is completely illegitimate they're taking away people's fucking health care rights and ushering in a slew of all kinds of problematic decisions that open up the united states to become

a theocracy on top of all the other shit that we're going through. You know, I guess they don't want to describe it as that. But already there's a majority of Americans who already feel like, yo, the Supreme Court has terrible legitimacy issues. Because all we see is ideologues go in there and like not even understand the history of the country in their decisions. When saying stuff like, you know, to Clarence Thomas, like, well, abortion has never really been part of the United in their decisions when saying stuff like, you know, to Clarence Thomas, like,

well, abortion has never really been part of the United States. Like, yes, it has. Well, this has been something that has existed in like mainstream American culture since the 19th century.

It only reveals even more that these people, their originalism and textualism and shit that they used to rely on to like, you know, justify their like completely backwards, archaic thinking you're now at a point where like they're like yeah man i can't even lie like i'm i'm i'm mixing up all my fucking messages here i'm saying states have rights in this decision they don't in this one uh look man i'm just trying to make libs cry that's kind of my thing yeah it seems to be the

strategy it's i just want to hear joe biden or whoever the fuck is ultimately making this decision to like keep it out of like even people's mouths right now the the court packing like what is the possible they they cheated to get to this place right to pack the court they uh withheld the obama nomination and they don't represent, like I just, I just want to hear them talk through and give a rationale that isn't, I play it square Jack or whatever the fuck Biden says, or that isn't like ultimately, well, because this,

this gives us something to run on in the midterms. Right. I can't, I can't conceive of what they're possibly thinking uh when it when it comes to not packing and not like at least making fucking mansion and cinema and those people like go on the record as like yeah we oppose the majority opinion that uh because too many things yeah i guess the the reality of the whole situation is just too much to i think take in at once if you're like trying to solve shit at like the federal

level yeah you got to first be like i don't know i think this shit doesn't really work the way it is to be honest completely gridlocked because of the way the senate is structured that actually nothing can happen so then your other avenue for affecting change is to stack the supreme court and push through these fucking lawsuits that are going to challenge existing laws that we have and legislate like that yeah how about that what would they do well yeah what would the other side do that's exactly what the other side would do if they right had all both houses and the presidency january 6th is trending uh they dropped an announcement for a surprise hearing tomorrow do we know what why it's so ominous it was just saying like due to recently obtained evidence

it was like some shit like that got it they're saying we have i'll just read it right here uh yeah to present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony okay okay so well i mean i don't know like you know the the people who are like this is it they got something why would they interrupt the news like this is the most packed news week of all time and they would like they're gonna come back from their vacation to do this what is going to happen so i don't know i don't know this is gonna be like surprise motherfucker we got a time machine let's go we're gonna reverse all the ills of this reality we live in i don't know that would

be a big that would be a a big bomb drop if they had a time machine if they had a time machine and then somehow we're still like man shut up shut the fuck up got real and now you're using it oh all right marty mcfly you just showed up 900 years too late uh but you know this is also a lot of uh like in the right wing media they're like you know it's probably nothing but who knows, you know, what kind of, who their surprise guest is. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, we'll see.

I got a surprise. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah

Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again.

Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture.

I just don't believe they exist. That would be my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes.

We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

He's been given the okay to explore sign-in trade deals. So that means the Nets are like, okay. They're like, all right, if you want to go, go ahead. Because he wants the max. They're not willing to give him that. Is that kind of the gist? And I think it's also like that thing of like the leveraging. You know, because I could go to the Lakers.

And it sounds like they're like, all right, go ahead then. Mm-hmm. Go ahead. We need to worry about Kevin Durant now. I need to worry about Kevin Durant. I don't want him all by himself on the Nets. I want my boy to have some great final seasons, you know? Yeah.

Him and Ben, the new power duo. It's going to be wild. Don't worry. Okay. If you say so. Okay. We'll see. I hate that all of the

energy is like, the Lakers. Looks like where he's going to go. That's... it would be interesting though yeah oh yeah i mean putting up 150 a game i couldn't imagine like if that thing if that shit works that's gonna look interesting um but you know i'm also like i'm a laker fan who likes to pretend i'm just playing a video game where there there are no restrictions on trades and be like, I would like to put this body in a Laker uniform. That would work for me. And Kyrie's not one

personally, if I'm being selfish. I'm like, I wouldn't buy his jersey, so I don't want him on the team. But he is good. I'm not going to lie. He would help the Lakers. Yeah, Kyrie's pretty good. He's pretty good. He might be an improvement. In some weak spots we got all that to say

you know money money's gonna do what it does yeah france is trending their government is talking about creating legislation to enshrine the right to an abortion into law what what what's making them why is that on their mind you know it's like it's like when canada was like oh shit we need we need a gun bill man they're fucking up down there right and now france is like what the fuck is going on all right fuck that just in case we need to put this shit into writing uh it's just like it's just a you know a response i believe to just the rapid unwinding uh of things in the u.s and it seems like there's constant like that just what feels like like all the time on twitter it's like there's constant like that was just what feels like like all the time on Twitter it's like there's that tweet always

happens like hey you guys in America okay except seems like some governments are able to respond pretty quickly and come to an agreement that certain things are like good or bad for humans right seems like France you know they do have

an ascendant right but like ascendant in the sense that they got like 30 something percent right uh of the vote in the last one which was pretty wild enough to terrify everybody over there but yeah as for now it's just basically the the cautionary tale of america i mean look at what happened to that i remember dude remember america damn that's you yo that's america that's how people are looking at it now the one from the all the fucking movies right right that's what they're doing over there oh shit maybe because you know that was all just pr uh for how fucked up the country's been the whole time.

web board probably know who actually is q maybe it's the administrators maybe they're in cahoots with whoever it is but it's all just very tiring and i feel like that the q drop was something like would you like to play a game or some shit and that was like on the heels of the decision at the supreme court on friday so well those are are some of the things that are trending on this Monday, June 27th. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Stick around for a post roll that we're going to play right after this.

And don't do nothing about white supremacy. We will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Abortion is health care. Hey, guys, before we go, obviously, we're talking about this during the podcast, but we want to talk about it here as well. While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24th. Abortion is a basic health care need for the millions of people who can become pregnant, and everyone should have the freedom to decide what's best for themselves and their families,

including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn't be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds, and to find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. That's donations4abortion.com. And if you or someone you know needs help or if you want to get more involved, here are five resources.

One, Shout Your Abortion is a campaign to normalize abortion. Two, Don't Ban Equality is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions. Three, Abortion.Cafe has information about where to find clinics. Four, PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet. And five, Choice.crd.co has a collection of these resources and more. We encourage you to speak up, take care and spread the word.
