I'm Jack O'Brien, that's Miles Gray, and this is what is trending right now uh the the two words did mexico seem to be trending um which you're like what's going on that's always weird when like half of

a sentence is trending because like i don't understand like what everybody had the same idea the same sentence popping their head at the same time. Did Mexico run Mexico's cousin? I don't know. Who is this? So as I look, it's basically everyone on Twitter is responding to all these like riot fences being put up around the White House. So it's a new wall being put up and everyone's like, so saying, did Mexico pay for your new wall? did Mexico pay for your new wall? And they're just responding to somehow Mr. Tough Guy now needs a fucking playpen gate around his house.

I don't know. It's so absurd. Jason Pargin on Twitter was like, is he writing the jokes so that he knows everyone will make so that it distracts from the really insidious shit that he's doing like because that is just so writes itself type shit yeah but it also seems like such like old rich white boomer response to having a bunch of poor people out in front of your house you're like well i gotta call i gotta need a new security team gonna need a bigger wall got any cameras like i also believe that too like it's very just real yeah uh tiffany haddish is tweeting

uh or is trending yeah uh because uh the reverend al sharpton uh name checked her uh gave her a shout out that or she was he was naming other people and she was like you forgot me and a lot of this was at george at the george floyd memorial in uh minnesota so a lot of people were kind of sort of did not feel good about that that she was there and then was like hi can you shout me out at this man's memorial service please wait what happened she was like on stage with a few other people like Tyrese was there's like a like a lot of celebrities came to this memorial and Al Sharpton I think he was name-checking a lot of the people that had come to the memorial service and so he's going down

the list he forgot Tiffany Haddish and I think she was just pointing out that he forgot so it was everyone's like I don't know and Kevin Hart was saying like, Kevin Hart was there, but he tried, he made it a point to be as like, not visible as possible because he, for that reason was like, this really isn't, the last thing is that this is about me. And I think a lot of people, you know,

it's such a painful thing and I get it. Like it's not, it's not the classiest move, but also any, everything like why, Al Sharpton shouldn't have even been calling out you should be commending the activists that are right not the celebrities are flying their private jets to get there like in that sense i'm like that's more al sharpton than even tiffany

haddish yeah that feels like some very like 90s old uh old school media type thing where it's like, look at the stars. The stars are really out tonight. Yeah, exactly. Rock the vote. Jesus. I actually was just thinking about that. That that's what used to be considered good activism. Like edgy. What was their even goal?

I bet it was so fucking a non-thing. It was just like, never like, yeah, we're really gonna try and like turn out higher votes where like there's like a disparity in voter registration i feel like in the 90s it was like hey man let's get these let's get these fucking let's get jeff ayer off from virgin records to get these people together to make this thing um and then voter die of course the uh even less successful uh follow-up i feel like oh yeah jake paul is trending uh so his little stunt where he went to the mall to like sarcastically loot i guess just no i'm trying to see what's going on man i'm trying to see what's going on, man. I'm just trying to see what's going on, man. We're out here for justice. But he thought it was funny.

He's being charged now. Criminal trespassing. An unlawful assembly. Whoops. Dude, and then he had some wild rant that clearly some lawyer had written for him that he screamed on what looked like a podcast he has where he was like,

he's like wait supremacy is and he's like look like losing his place and like the word doc he's reading in like a laptop like unacceptable yeah unacceptable and it's like oh dude just you're i get it you're just you like to you like to flex your white privilege definitely like that's all you do you go to japan you fuck around you go to you go to the forest and film dead bodies, you fuck around. You want to go to the people who are legitimately outraged at this country and you're like, man, let's see what's up. I honestly don't know if that's Jake Paul or doesn't he have a brother?

Like Fred Paul? Yeah. Ron Paul. Rand Paul. Rand Paul. Rand Paul. But yeah, he has a woke person writing for him because he was like marching in hollywood and he was like i'll be on the front lines yeah it's not enough to be

not racist you have to be anti-racist which is true but uh it was just interesting to see that like angela davis quote right exactly it's like oh man i've been seeing this quote go around oh who's angela davis um and then a bunch of nfl players are trending uh yeah and tony dungy uh So Drew Brees was trending. We talk about it a little bit on tomorrow's episode, but he was trending yesterday because he was basically just regurgitating all the shit that your racist uncle is saying about the protest.

I'll never kneel during the anthem. I'll never disrespect our country like that. I'll never disrespect the flag by kneeling. Yeah. Just like white supremacist, like passive white supremacist, passive racism porn. Like for uncles to be like, yeah, Drew said it. I'm so close, bro.

Say the N word. I'm so close. It's really all that shit. I mean, because it's really all that shit i mean because it's really you know that his response is basically to all of the this new civil rights movement that's starting to form in this country his immediate response is like man fuck these people trying to get equality fuck that yeah that's all it is that's you know yeah then he apologized and people were like, no, don't apologize. You have nothing to apologize for, sir. And then Tony Dungy said, he has the right to say that and I have the right to disagree

with his statement. Tony Dungy is one of very few black coaches in NFL history actually and you know he's more than welcome to say that but that was another excuse for you know racist people to come in and be like Tony said it Tony's the man he he gets it so you know it's I mean like he's like but then we should be able to talk about which is true like obviously yes because it's not just if if we weren't able to change people's minds then i think most of the world will just stay ignorant and racist but i think the the sentiment was more like oh come on come on go easy on him it's okay if he says racist stuff guys you know but then we can talk but drew breeze has his apology indicated had no, that was not an apology. He was doubling down, basically, I'm saying.

It was one of those things was like, I'm sorry some people don't like racism. I don't know what to say, bro. I'm sorry. Sorry you don't like that. Yeah, it's interesting because there's also like this dude, the Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback, Jake Fromm, who had like a text chat leak where he was like they should make guns

more expensive so that only elite white people could get it um and uh then he had to come out and apologize but this is this is something that we talked about in like i think the second episode of this show but just like how uh how deep the racism around the quarterback position runs in american consciousness and just like how deeply intertwined uh that racism is quarterbacks like the overseer is you're in the field the overseer is telling you what to calling the play and then everybody gets in line and then he will dictate what happens from there like it's yeah and you think about just how every black quarterback's like it's the worst thing that could ever happen to a person to be a starting black quarterback like it's yeah what

did you say who started a support group like warren moon warren moon started a support group for all like black nfl quarterbacks and yeah it was just like you don't understand the psychological trauma of being a black quarterback in america it's like yeah it's impossible you think any possible you think any of these o-linemen are gonna let a few rushes through and maybe somebody a few of these quarterbacks might get hit on the blind side. I would love it. First of all, Drew Drew Brees can't even throw the ball anymore. So I don't even know why he's

full hit the velocity on his ball is like so he's just throwing it out there like looks like I'm throwing the ball and he's also tiny so I would love to see him get rocked but uh yeah the the o-line is uh you know they're the smartest people on the field a lot of people are like well the quarterback is

your you know it's the hardest position in sports no the o-line actually whoops the quarterback's ass in terms of wonderlick tests like which is a racist test but it is like you know the the smartest football aptitude right whatever that is yeah i think i mean if if if real life is like a sports comedy film the o-line is is gonna let these quarterbacks get get a couple good ones in and be like oh shit i've tripped sorry drew yeah anyway my bad man um i was kneeling meanwhile we haven't even talked about the fact the nba is coming back in july um hey man lakers and four huh everyone's four that's just gonna be the mantra it's so surreal to even think that the nba is gonna come back and then like my like laker jersey

that i like buried him i'm like well i'm not gonna use this for fucking five years i'm like gonna dust off and maybe scream in front of a tv again yeah same with the premier only one yeah both i got two teams coming back and i'm not like i'm more like than excited. It's weird. I'm on edge about it. It's such a weird thing. It's going to be such a bizarre experience to just sit there and watch them play in silence, hearing the squeaking of the sneakers and the whistles and that's it,

and just people talking to each other. It's going to be real strange. I guess, if anything, go uncensored and mic the players and just let us hear that court for what it is. Yeah, yeah. That would be so... Come on, ho.

I started watching The Last Dance, that part where Michael Jordan is just hitting a whip. Come on, ho. Yeah, keeps calling Scott Burrell a ho. Also, I was saying this off mic, but Scotty Pippen, if there's a GoFundMe to ensure that man has every dollar he's deserved, please direct me in that. I hope he made his money off of his Nike contract.

What did you think of the part where he was talking about how not going into the game was the biggest mistake he ever made in his career like and how it like completely torpedoed their like faith in him and then he was like and if i had it to do all over again i'd do the same thing yeah he's cold-blooded man he's cold man but like he's his but he's so like measured you know like even when i'm like so'm crying on his behalf as he describes things, he's just like so, you know? Yeah. That's just me, baby.

It's Scotty, and I'll do that shit again. All right. That's going to do it for this afternoon. We are going to be back tomorrow with a whole other podcast, and we will talk to you guys then. Be good to each other, and don't do nothing guys bye bye k hasn't heard from her sister in seven years 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 what was that that was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
