This is... Cock Commander is trending? Cock Commander is trending, Jack. Okay. What's going on?

Photos of our matching tattoos have leaked. And now we're having to answer for it. No. South Carolina Gamecocks. Just, you know, they have like a fucking rooster mascot, I guess. And they have to give it a new name. Oh, they do? Yeah.

I think it was formerly known as Sir Big Spur. Okay. And now they're trying to say they need a new nickname when they kick off the season on September 3rd. off the season on september 3rd and i guess apparently it's because the the person who was like the bird's original owners uh and the new owners like they're having some kind of disagreement over whether or not the comb on the like the rooster's head should be trimmed and i miles are you is your brain melting or is mine which no this story doesn't make any sense i guess because they're saying like well this bird is known as this and if you trim the comb or whatever we're gonna sue you so anyway what it's done is it's kicked off the whole thing like what

are some alternate names and some people are saying cluck norris marco pollo and okay cock commander cock commander i think cock commanders yeah cluck norris sucks yeah fuck that or cock and Cock Commander. Cock Commander is the winner. Cluck Norris sucks. Yeah, fuck that. Or Cock Chaos. Yeah, shut the Cluck up with the Cluck Norris business. What else could you do?

What else? Let's see. I don't know, man. I can't beat Cock Commander. That's fun. Yeah. Because it evokes some BDSM vibes. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Like definitely some alternate sexuality involved there as opposed to Bacock Obama Bacock Obama Bacock Obama see that one works that's fun because the thing that they've typically been associated with

to me is like the collegiate equivalent of Big Johnson t-shirt like i i know them as like people being like get it the game cock game cocks says cock i mean that was the reason i was like i remember being 16 and wanted to buy a hat because then i think i i think i had a hat because i actually first i had a philly's hat that was maroon, and then I lost it. And I did like a good maroon baseball cap. And so I think I did have a Gamecocks hat for a little bit.

But I hate that version of myself. I did not. I was not a cool person in high school. Cox. Do you get it? My hat says Cox. I do. though yeah um cox do you get it my hat says cox i do now can you please just let go of my arm new york city uh ashley biden trending what's happening yeah see some fucking goofballs stole her diary right and sold it to the people of project veritas over

there just the big fucking rabble rouser liar faces on the right there and the people who stole it they pleaded guilty one of them said they will cooperate with the southern district of new york's investigation into project veritas these are the same people who are like trying to think they make up fake victims and stuff or whatever. Just look into James O'Keefe, or don't. It's probably a waste of your time. But apparently, Project Veritas,

they're saying that in buying Ashley Biden's stolen diary, it was, quote, trying to make a story that will ruin her life and affect the election. That's from the people buying it. Interesting.

It must be. I can't imagine they were saying that. But the people buying it. Interesting. It must be. I can't imagine they were saying that, but the way it's written, it says effect, the noun version, rather than affect. Right, they're typos, so it seems like a direct quote.

That's weird, because Project Veritas, at the time, said they just bought it so it didn't get into the wrong hand. Right. Because we respect the office of the president. That's also why uh donald trump kept

all those nuclear codes is he didn't want to he didn't want them to fall into the wrong hand what do you think's even in there like great question oh man fucking biden's old he's old oh he's getting real slow like okay i can't imagine anything you could tell me about Joe Biden that would make him less cool to me. Anyways, fuck Project Veritas. This is again, you know, whatever happened here on the right, they're trying to be like, yo, we need our own version of secret documents that might be explosive. But it's not going to get worse than what the fuck y'all are dealing with over there, man. Fuck Project Veritas.

However, the cookies that they have at their booth at Podcast Movement are so good. They're handing them out, man. They're handing them out, man. And they are the right-wing haul of Podcast Movement.

Might as well just talk about that now. That is also trending that is trending we talked yesterday i showed up so i'm at a podcast conference if you didn't listen to yesterday's episode uh called podcast movement one of the big i think the biggest isn't the biggest one yeah the biggest yes podcast con and uh when you walk in this year to the floor the first booth you see is the Daily Wire. Oh, that was the very first booth? Very first booth on your left. And like the first hall that you can walk through.

And they have a bunch of pictures up of like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson, who is labeled as like Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. Wow. And they have a little popcorn thing. And it's fucking ridiculous that it's there. Ben Shapiro was even there. They even had the mascot there yesterday in the flesh.

I think he was wearing lifts. So he seemed like he was five foot five, I think. Wow. Yeah, he was there in person and i didn't get there till late uh because you know i don't tend to go to these things but uh he was walking out in a huff when i saw him oh really i didn't know if that was just his general energy but uh i think they're basically being asked to leave because everybody was like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah.

Because not everybody, that's the problem with inviting white supremacists to your not white supremacist thing. Yeah, exactly. Do you understand what the industry is right now? There are so many people getting into the space. Like, just look at the shows that are coming out. They're not. I mean, yeah, there are plenty that are absolute trash. But many more voices are emerging in the space and they don't all align with his just fucking violent ideology.

So they did issue an apology. Aaron Mankey was basically saying basically saying like if he was slated to speak but he didn't he said if he was and he saw them there he would have walked out and he was like also saying you know just apologizing isn't enough like refund their money tell them to pack their shit and go because I can't imagine any person especially LGBTQ

people are going to feel safe in that environment and said shame on podcast movement so they're, we're so sorry. Yeah, we should have known. That was a total goof up. And then Ben Shapiro's going to be like, this is reactionary. And they're going to be like, we're so sorry, Ben Shapiro. We're so sorry. We didn't mean to offend you.

We just apologize to everyone. But yeah, podcast movement fucked up. Sorry, podcast movement, you fucked up. It's discriminatory they had a step and repeat but you had to be barefoot to do the step and repeat and they made you get out of your shoes and i have i have special prescription shoes that i wear it's discriminatory i i'm also a little bit hurt because i was talking shit about this yesterday but everyone's quoting

aaron mankey the guy was the biggest podcast ever i was talking real spicy yesterday what's happening anyways well it'll be interesting to see if benny shapps any any of these uh daily wire folks are are still hanging around last i saw they they still had their booth they still had popcorn which that was always interesting to see who was willing to take the popcorn from the Daily Wire booth. Right. Because you'd be like, yo, I'm sorry, are you ignorant or are you racist? Right. Did you just really want popcorn or are you racist?

Right. What is this? What is it? What is it? Who's this guy? Who's this guy? Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

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.

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.

Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Keri Champion, and this is season

four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil.

I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?

Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. 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. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. 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?

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. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And Chet is trending. This news really bums me out. The number two pick for the Oklahoma City Thunder, a 7'2 guy named Chet Holmgren, who I went into the draft, I was like, look, I don't make prognostications because I'm not right most of the time.

I'm wrong about most things. However, this one time, look, I watched the NCAA tournament. The guy Chet Holmgren's gonna be a bust. You heard it here first, folks. And then the NBA Summer League started and he looked so smooth. And he looked like a 7'2 point guard

just drilling threes from deep so smooth uh he was apparently asked to play badly when he was in college because that that's my only explanation for how bad he looked in the ncaa but he immediately went from my prediction for a bust to being the rookie I was most excited to see in the upcoming NBA season. And he went and played in a pro-am and got injured and he's out for the season. Yeah. Sucks. Really sucks.

You know, they said, what is it? It's a Liz Frank. Yeah, what's a Liz Frank? It's a foot injury that is like just never, it always seems like it's not going to be that bad but it is basically like a small bone that is incredibly crucial to your ability to move athletically that's the other thing is the feet are incredibly fragile and when you're seven feet tall we've seen

we've seen what joe allen bead's feet look like we've seen what shack's feet look like that's a lot of momentum that is jamming up against the front of your shoes when you're stopping and starting as a seven-footer. And so, I don't know, man. I'm just hoping they're able to heal him up. I'm hoping that he just is able to take this year, get well, and come back looking like he did in the summer league. Can he come back? That was fun. That was really cool to see. Can he come back? Oh, yeah. I mean, and come back looking like he did in the summer league because that was fun.

That was really cool to see. Can he come back? Oh, yeah. I mean, people come back and it's just... It's not like getting that micro-fracture shit where it's like, oh, it's a wrap, bro. Right. It's not. And he moves. When you saw him move, he didn't move like one of those Greg Oden seven-footers where you're like, uh-oh. He's smooth.

He's 45 years old. He runs like he's a teenager, which he is, but he's also seven-foot seven foot two which can be dodgy he also looks like he's got bird bones which could mean that he's nice and lightweight but it also could mean he's fragile very brittle could be mr glass stay tuned yeah that sucks man the whole season oh don't worry darling okay about chat no i know i say that to you off mic a lot but we're on mic so okay when i say don't Yeah, that sucks, man. The whole season. Don't worry, darling. About Chet? No, I know I say that to you off mic a lot, but we're on mic. When I say don't worry, darling,

it's usually... Stop tripping, bro. Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Hey, man. Toxic masculinity. Don't worry, darling. On mic is in reference to the upcoming

Olivia Wilde, Harry Styles film. And I don't know, man, this feels like so people are there's a there's a clip that was released that was Harry going for it. Harry going for it in his role opposite Florence Pugh. And I think people are being unfair to him. I get where they're coming from because she is a generational actor. And it's like somebody who's like a generational actor acting opposite someone who got famous for being a singer and is now like, oh, they're actually like a pretty good act. You know, like when you talk about Harry Styles acting, you're like, he's a good actor,

but you say it in a high pitched way. You you're like oh shit he's like actually right oh he's pretty good so anyways the thing people are focusing on his accent which is also like you're gonna come in and criticize a british person's british accent it's weird because it's like all americans too i feel like like don't that's that is not your place well i i think it's just one person was like it sounds like yorkshire to boston to the bronx now i don't i haven't heard the whole clip but like on like this one jezebel thing they were like hanging on the way he was saying like our life or something like he's he's from cheshire he's like a northern right like so the accents are wildly different all over so different like from one patch of land like two miles down the road you

have a completely different accent that sounds like you're making it up on the spot if you've never heard of it before so like i'm not saying it's not your place because i feel like it's offensive to british people because i don't think they get to be offended about much. But like, it's not your place in that you're you're probably wrong. And that probably is how people talk in a part of England. You just haven't heard that shit. When he said that, I was like, oh, he from the north. And that was my first instinct, just from like watching so much footy on the TV and like being being familiar.

And I just like accents. But even the way this jezebel thing was like the headline is harry bruv is it a bad accent or just bad acting i'm like well if you expect him to be saying like bruv like you know you're you're off that ain't it but whatever i'm still interested in seeing the movie the real headlines i feel around it are like everybody kind of like especially olivia wild like her she just did an interview where she was basically saying like yeah man sudeikis really uh acting like a wild dickhead serving me papers on stage like that i don't know what the fuck that was about uh but

she's like but there's a reason why things didn't work out between him and i like oh okay yeah all right well it's messy tuned stay tuned stay tuned on Jason Zadakis in general. And finally, Maxwell Frost is trending. Maxwell Frost, the first Gen Z member of Congress is in the building.

Congratulations to him for winning his race, Florida's 10th district. This activist kid, he's got a you know he's got a heart and like just running off of just like literally saying shit like i love you so i believe you deserve health care and to not have debt and to be physically safe because that's just what it is and i'm like what the fuck is this guy talking about this This kid's fucking hot. Cut the mic.

Get him the fuck out of there. Yeah. Out of Florida. Yeah. I mean, you know, the district, he's still got to run a race, but it's, you know, pretty solidly blue. So it should be, you know, a bit of a foregone conclusion. But yeah, like he's 25, man. So he just gets in there with the age requirements.

That's amazing. Yeah. Hell yeah. Let's go, man. So he just gets in there with the age requirements. That's amazing. Yeah. Hell yeah. Let's go Gen Z, save our ass. I know I said that I don't think that's a good solution for us to be like, save us next generation. Yeah. I mean, look, I have a feeling like Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z will collaborate. We're like Gen Xers and older Millennials.

We'll sacrifice ourselves to like save the earth, you know, at the behest of zoomers. Then we'll maybe treat it better. I don't know. I kind of think about that all the time. I still got my money on boomers. I think they're going to pull it out.

I think. Oh yeah. Second shot. Not going to lie, man. They had us there. Oh my God. Yeah.

Me so scared guys. That was funny. They're all flash traders, it turned out. Thank God. In the end. All right. Well, those are six of the things that are trending on this Thursday, August 25th. We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
