Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. Every great player needs a foil. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.

Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Listen to the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeart on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast presented by capital one founding partner of iheart women's sports hello the internet and welcome to this special week trend week trend i prefer the week trends son of a bitch um i'm jack o'brien that is miles bray yeah we celebrate yeah formally what we formally introduce ourselves at the beginning of the week because we're just meeting for the first time in a number of days you've probably forgotten i like that we're consistently evoking the garth brooks

devil snl sketch consistently now like as if that's part of the church calling response like thanks be to god yeah like his mercy endureth forever yes should we just link off to that in the footnotes of every episode just so people understand who we are yeah every every the first footnote is just going to be a YouTube clip of that. Because again, these were our first memes. It was just saying loose lines back to each other. That's right. How are you doing, Miles? How did you hold up in the tropical storm, earthquake, hurricane? We had a hybrid response where Her Majesty, who is from the East Coast and knows something about hurricanes,

was preparing for that kind of weather. And then me, jaded California local guy who's like, I don't know, it's probably fine. It's going to be rain or something. And she's like,

we need more water. She's like, get your head out of your ass. They're saying this is going to be something that you got to be ready. So yeah it was but otherwise uh we did okay i was a little bit disappointed to not feel the earthquake but i did get that loud ass alert on my phone when it happened that was maybe more shocking than if i had just felt the earthquake i got so many loud alerts i got like a flash flood alert at three in the morning last night yeah same yeah same i was

like oh shit well you got little babies the big one yeah little baby i was like so mad it was like if you disrupt his sleep i will fucking lose it but yeah luckily uh he he was up for other reasons oh i woke my kids up i was was like, this is it, guys. This is the big one. You guys got your life jackets on still? Just want you to know. Okay, good. I love you. I just like the idea of you make your kids sleep in life jackets.

Just in case. But you never know. You never know, Miles. Yeah. I mean, it was definitely bad. The flooding was bad in other parts. But I think... Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's... i don't know i'm like more than anything it was fucking surreal to like be in that new mindset of like okay so now we have hurricane yeah okay okay my seven-year-old was very into it he like wanted to watch the local news and stuff like that um and was asking frequently if we were in the eye of the hurricane or um that that was kind of the only thing he knew yeah i have the hurricane so and then this morning he was like i think i think we're still in the eye because it's not raining right now so anyways did you do the uh bathtub full of water oh yeah but that's only because i love the road by cormac mccarthy yeah and yeah i just wanted to replay i've never done it before i did it and and felt

uh stupid kind of no i know i i didn't i did not fill up we had an appropriate amount of well again this is where i was like cocky though i was like what the fuck what the fuck a little tropical storm gonna do you know and i was like we're good with like the gallons of water that like we already have um but yeah i don't know that's again this feels like we're in a new we're in a new era and i eventually there's going to be one that catches everybody off guard but like luckily this seems to be somewhat manageable. Yeah. It's mainly a thing for an excuse for people from the East Coast you haven't talked to in a while to check in. Yeah, that was great. That was great.

That was great. People were like, first of all, I'm sorry to even email about this right now, but are you okay? I've read about what happened. And yeah, again, that's their version where they've actually experienced real hurricanes and then us a hurricane turning into a tropical storm i just respond with the uh shark on the 405 meme the shark on the highway me that fooled ted cruz this morning um loser yeah anyways uh we like to kick it off by letting people get to know us a little bit better and telling them something we think is underrated uh something we think is overrated uh what what is something miles that

you think is underrated what is something i think is search history well let's think about that do that we can always do search history i don't even know i what I searched is probably actually a lot to do with our Tuesday episode which is going to be great with Chelsea Devonta spoiler alert what I think is underrated deviled eggs I don't think deviled eggs are

they're like divisive it turns out and I don't think they should be because I if you like eggs you should fuck with a deviled egg because to me they are the height the absolute apex of egg preparation

and I had them this weekend recently at a dinner when it was on the menu and I said look you know we're going to need two orders because the person I was with was also like a deviled egg head and we're like you know what let's just go let's just go ham on this thing and yeah i don't know i i just like people were aware they're like oh my god i hate i can't i

can't i can't like as if they were meant to eat like durian fruit or something like you know what's wrong with i i'm wondering is there an ingredient that like has the you know how cilantro to some people tastes like soap uh or is it just the deviled eggs have a variance that has led some people to have bad experiences and they don't have the iron iron stomach that you have i don't know i mean again that could be i definitely have goat stomach like i can eat tin cans and nothing will happen but i this guy can eat stuff that make a billy goat puke billy goat would absolutely shit himself he had one bite of that he ate three of them but yeah i don't know like the people that were anti-devil egg were more like they didn't like boiled eggs like specifically like

they have like this like like stinky kind of like memory caught up with a boy like a boiled egg so yeah it's got to be an experience thing like you know getting a hard boiled egg in their bagged lunch as a kid or something and yeah and they probably see it as like yeah they're like this is crap food and i'm not going to be duped by like the fancy version whereas i'm like i i fucking i love boiled eggs i love soft boiled eggs hard boiled eggs scrambled like i love fucking eggs man i uh i did should we do all all egg underrated because i was hard boiling i was hard boiling some eggs and i had the hardest damn time peeling peeling the damn things what the fuck i did wrong what's your style what's there i mean just under a light stream of cold water just going okay a little tiny chunk at a time but there were

like pieces of the egg were coming off i think think I, I think I fucked something up cause I went hard boiled into an ice bath and then right into peeling. And I, I think I fucked up somehow. I fucked up miles. Yeah. Bad man. Oh man.

I'm, I'm really, I've, I don't know what to tell you. Um, you know, it is, it is kind of tough,

but I don't know. I mean, like, I know that like sometimes you're gonna get one that is a little bit harder to peel uh but i think some of the thing is uh i think like the like when you add it and also like you can put salt like in the water to help yeah yeah like to keep that from happening the other thing is i always put it in an ice bath i don't do cold water i have a fucking little bowl with ice and i oh yeah no i did a straight ice hard boiled

into ice bath into under a stream of how long cold water how long ice bath gotta be like five minutes okay hmm what were you saying it has to be at least what at least five okay that's the floor and you can you should like you know like some like in some recipe things i've seen like up to like fucking 10 or 15 okay really i also don't think i put enough ice in i think the i think they weren't cold enough oh yeah when i got to the peeling. And that makes sense to me. Those little, those hot eggs are like little hot rocks that are just going to melt the ice. So you got to inundate that ice bath with ice. Yeah.

And then the other thing, some people say you could crack it before. How do you crack it? Because do you do the, I crack both ends and then I roll it lightly to break up the egg. Damn. All right. Now I'm talking lightly to break up the egg. Damn. All right. Now I'm talking to a damn professional over here. Jack eggs are my thing, man.

Like I fucking, I love an egg. So yeah, you got it. You got to peel it nice and also peel it right out the ice bath. Like don't, don't let it kick it. Just go,

go right away for anyone looking for non egg related content. My, my other non eggegg underrated was just the uh i went to the to the pictures with my children this weekend which ones you we caught teenage mutant ninja turtles and it was a blast okay uh yeah can't can't recommend it enough um but i i was just once again the, the Nicole Kidman thing before AMC movies. Yeah. I'm just her.

The, the writing gets a lot of attention. Um, right. Her performance gets a lot of attention. The choice of movies is so weird that they've gone with like movies. The shit came out in 2021 and they've gone with like three movies from 2015 to 2017. And just, I don't know, Jurassic World being the movie that they choose from the Jurassic

Park franchise is very strange to me. I don't know. And not like La La Land, I think is in there. It's not really a movie that people really ride for anymore it kind of more lives in the crash territory of like a thing like wow that was weird that everybody remember that shit um i don't know maybe i the la la land heads are gonna come for me but i i don't know it just it just feels like a very strange very specific like it would be so easy to cycle different movies in there you know and also like if you're going with movies that aren't in theaters anymore uh which great why are we only going with like movies from five years ago that aren't in theaters

anymore instead of like the movies that would actually inspire that sort of magic i think i think it's underrated how much like the weirdness of the ad is like the mismatch of her reaction and then the movie being jurassic world oh wow like she's just like describing this fucking uh philosophical like mystical experience that she has and then it's jurassic world so could you could you imagine it's like all those movies those are actually picked by nicole kidman that was like her one thing like these are my favorite she's like don't fuck around when i say this line it better be jurassic world yes um what does she say when heartache heartbreak feels good in a place like this is What is she looking at?

I think it might be Creed. And I was wrong. I thought it was Creed 2 because he's wearing the American flag boxing trunks. But it is actually Creed, which I think great pick. Perfect. Fine. Let's go with Creed. But does heartbreak feel good?

Does that line? I haven't seen Creed.ed yeah i don't know i i actually should have like actually done a more detailed breakdown of you have like each line and what we're what we're distilling from that line of dialogue given the visual maybe it's a wonder woman like wonder woman's the other one all right you know what yeah you fuck i'm sure i'm sure we can find uh we may just have to do a deep dive because we talk about how often do we fucking bring up that stupid ad like even when we went to go see elvis all together like last year the way we're all like shut the fuck up nicole's on like we were all fucking enthralled well it's the single piece of it's probably the most viewed

single piece of content maybe the underrated thing is just like how everybody like that two minute ad is just like has been viewed by everyone you you have like the most captive audience like what what have people seen more than that at? Honestly, I don't even know. A stop sign, maybe? Right. Stop sign. I'm going stop sign.

I'm going stop sign right now. Well, the stop sign is iconic. The color choices are massive. And I realize people have made jokes about this and it's like kind of over but i just it's also like so everywhere that's wonder woman images on a huge silver screen sound that i can feel okay sound makes sense because you're seeing la la land you know what i mean and then heartbreak feels good in a place like this okay but like in that moment he's triumphant yeah heartbreak feels good in a place like this and it shows creed uh but like he's just knocking his chest yeah adonis is pounding

his chest after knocking somebody out so that means that nicole kidman was rooting for his opponent oh shit Which actually kind of makes sense, if you think about it. Anyway, more to come. Underrated how that is that piece of media which was just thrown

together. She was really responsible. She brought the writer in. She brought the director in. Wait, really? Yeah, yeah. When you look at it, they were like, Kidman knew responsible she like brought the writer in she brought the director in um wait really yeah yeah when you look at it it was like they were like kidman knew this writer from this project and the director she brought in from working with them on something else right um so anyways she didn't even wear a prosthetic nose to make it land even harder like her oscar-winning performances um let's take a quick

break we'll come back with our overrated because my overrated gets uh gets into the news so we'll we'll 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 Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

Listen to Let's Talk Offline 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 and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and then 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Man, one thing, the amount of like flying jump kicks that were happening

when we exited that movie, like there should, it should come with a warning. Right, right, right, right. Your children are going to do things. Yeah, right. Jumping off the fucking dinner table trying to do a fucking...

The third stair. Damn! Have they just entered their, like, karate kick era? Oh, yeah. They've been there. But you know, like, you know how, like, Karate Kid kind of fucked you up and you thought you could do, like, a flying, like, across the room type jump, like, karate kick type shit?

And I remember, in my mind, that was, like, the most ideal physical performance you could do. Like, the first time I jumped in a mind, that was like the most ideal physical performance you could do. The first time I jumped in a pool was to be like, oh, I'm going to do a karate kick into here. Flank karate kick. Yeah. Boom. Straight in there. As I've talked about, the karate kick just made me want to get my ass kicked. That was like my thing.

I thought it was cool to get beat up and that's what made Elizabeth Shue like him was all the ass kickings he had taken i think i think it was a weird catholic thing right like command me lord johnny don't fuck me up and just like putting my chin out come on i mean but low-key fuck me up um yeah mr miyagi just gave me an old man to like idolize because I'm like there's a Japanese dude alright I'm him

that Karate Kid is one of those movies that like I feel like my kids will it will fully change their world once they see it but I have not shown it to them yet cut to that episode where you're like so I showed them Karate Kid

they said it was boring and dumb entirely possible they did because we had the local news on we did change the channel past back to the future and they were immediately intrigued by that premise

oh yeah I mean like space age technology that shit will always kind of feel intriguing i think to kids is like yeah like future stuff for sure yeah um all right what's something miles that you think is overrated oh uh misguided debates over tipping i've seen a lot of there apparently there's like a like a reddit like a subreddit post in like the los angeles subreddit apparently like taking like a spreadsheet of all the restaurants that are like tacking on fees and things like that and i've seen a few

different outlets use this like very disingenuously to just sort of tear down the concept of tipping while some are talking about like some places are adding a fucking charge and they're not actually passing any of that on to the servers. Like that's problematic. Like what the fuck is that? Yeah. Or and then other people debate. They're like, well, this restaurant shouldn't be on this list because they actually are providing a living wage to every person employed there along with health insurance. So like that, that makes sense.

And like, that's demonstrable that these people are doing better because they work at x restaurant or whatever but it's it's just wild because like you know like la magazine like has become this absolute fucking like conservative hellscape like magazine like over the last three years whenever this new owner came in so like they've been like talking about it all the time too and i just see how some people like while like the spreadsheet is there's like a lot of debate about what's contained within but when i see it take off to like this really tired thing of like i mean they're like everybody wants a tip now right like wow when's the tipping gonna end it's like well

some yeah some people you have to tip because that's that's where they actually make their money uh and again you know i like pointing out obviously when people just charging a fucking quote service fee and knowing like what that is and being like well this is kind of fucking wild but i just i hate when like i see like these like full-throated attacks on like the concept of tipping when like they're from people who have no concept of what it even like is like to be like at a tipped job uh and just be like just like when is it gonna stop really right it's like well you know let's let's aim our anger like higher up the fucking the charts here to like why we don't have health care and those kinds of things that necessitate this kind of thing these damn millionaire waiters

who are taking their fudge rounds on my dime um my overrated is did you see the story about how john fetterman showed up and has a mustache and glasses now yeah i thought yeah i thought it was on Undercover Boss. People are like, Betterment, unrecognizable. That was the headline on Drudge. I was so... I don't know. I definitely have a different lookalike brain than most people. I've been told just...

And I couldn't think of an example, but I've just been told that my lookalikes are way off base, and I often find other like my lookalikes are way off base. And like, I often find other people's lookalikes weird. Um, but like this didn't, he just looked like John Fetterman with glasses and a mustache. Like these people, you could fool some of these people with a Groucho mask,

I guess. Yeah. It, I mean, if I saw that, I'd be like, okay, he just switched up the facial hair.

Really? Like glasses or not. I'm, it's very easy to, for me to see, see through your glasses and know who you really are. But he kind of looks like if... He sort of looks like conservative Jesse Ventura. Like, conservative, like, dressed conservatively for the country.

I'm out here in the mountains with my tie-dye mullet and eating old deer carcasses. Yeah. Talking about spaceships like that. He seems like, you know, Jesse Ventura, like got a lot of money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He looks better. I think like any any switch from a soul patch to other facial hair, think is generally a good move uh in the modern era um 100 but yeah i don't know are they maybe like are there people out there who are like holy shit the plot twist when you find out clark kent is superman like that fucking blew my mind

man have you seen this fucking superman movie dude it like kind of fucked me up man yeah first of all i gotta ask you this you're you're not superman right because after i saw you're wearing glasses right any motherfucker could be after what i just saw yeah it's like on drudge are they trying to like cast dispersions or be like oh i'm sure like but what's the logic here he okay he wears glasses and he has like a push broom stash therefore what well people love a conspiracy theory where like someone died and was replaced by a look-alike oh it's that one i actually don't know i didn't click through on the article i just saw the headline and had also seen somebody on twitter be like you're telling me these are the same people i was like yeah yeah wait what do you mean just people whose only ability to recognize people is that is that game guess who

like that like because that's truly like he just went from one guess who character to another and yeah he's gone is that the name of that one with the little flip things yeah yeah he he really does look like he he his styling advice is guess who based because i'm pretty sure there was like a bald guy with the soul patch um well it feels very like like mr potato head swag you know what i mean you have a blank canvas round round dome what can you do i can put a mustache take the hair off put glasses on put a beret on take the glasses off what else yeah all right uh should we get into the the news of the weekend besides uh john fetetterman being a fucking shapeshifter. Yeah.

So Trump has decided to duck the debates. People are like, is he tired? What's going on? I don't care. But the leader in his absence would be DeSantis. And there's this clip of DeSantis where he just looks like something has cracked within him. He just looks like, I don't know. He's just being asked about the knives are out for you.

What do you have to say? It's the same talking point that he's had to respond to a thousand times yeah like just there's something in his eyes like it's not so much like in his i don't even know if you'd get much from hearing his answer but like his eyes just yeah tired and like psychotically mad but his mouth is smiling he's he's drained he looks like a like veramok soldier who's using meth to fucking keep the blitzkrieg up yeah you know what i mean uh like he's got we're gonna play this clip just know that before he answers his eyes this dude looks like he just woke up then he realizes he's on camera being asked a question and he summons like every ounce of fucking mental energy to try and put a smile on his face and he's

like failing at it as he gets to this answer so like it's just the wind up from like i'm fucking dead inside to remember you're on camera r Ron. I'm smiling. It's really something else. Here we go. Your campaign said the other day that the knives are out for you. Weird, wild smile. All right, that's the moment. It's when he goes, because the way he smiles, it sounds like he would have said, ah.

You know what I mean? The way his mouth opens to force out the teeth. It is really the smile at six seconds in where he goes from dead to just has this weird thing where something seems to break open inside him and he goes from dead, angry, to this crazy Joker smileoker smile thing okay and now he's and now he's grinding his teeth his jaw is going left to right his mouth is going i'd like to get your reaction to both off well on the memo it's not mine i haven't read it um and it's just i think it's something

that we we have in uh put off to the side But in terms of the debate, look, when you're, I know from the military, when you're over the target, that's when you're. And then kind of like, I'm sorry, is it like, thanks for that like World War II reference. You're over the target. We're taking flat last six to nine months. I've been more attacked than anybody else. Biden, Harris. Then he goes on and he's like, that's what's going on. But he's.

It's the same answer he's been given where people are like, what's going on with your campaign? You suck, Harris. Then he goes on and he's like, that's what's going on. But he's... It's the same answer he's been given where people are like, what's going on with your campaign? You suck, man. What's going on with the sucking? Also, what's up with that jaw, fool? You're looking like John Morant over here. What the fuck are you doing? Yeah.

I would have been like, hey, you want a pacifier, homie? Hey, do you want the little plastic ring that goes under the bottle cap on a water bottle? I could pull that off for you if you want to chew on that part just to get through this fucking event tonight. Yeah. Yeah. He's like got... I feel like his vibe generally is like unfettered rage beneath just like kind of a holding it down exterior.

beneath just like kind of a holding it down exterior but as his campaign has like sort of sputtered he's decided he's been told his advisors have told him he needs to like squeeze that energy through like a cheesecloth of like cheerleader smile face but like that anger is just like right there right behind the surface and it's really seems like at that moment where he goes from like dead eye like i i don't know where i am to like smile face is like it seems like the next moment might be just open weeping you know yeah or just like a rage like flying into a rage and attacking the person right did you ever like you ever have like a friend who like you go to their house and you never really met their dad but you're like i think this dude's an asshole you know what i mean

the friend or the dad the dad the friend's dad who you've never like you know the kid but you go to the house and like you catch glimpses of the dad and like they're not really doing anything overt but you're like i feel like like this guy is just a fucking asshole for some reason. Or whatever. That's what Ron DeSantis reminds me of. On the surface, you might be like, well, he just looks not cool or whatever. I'm like, no, I think this guy's a fucking dick, actually. That's what he's got going on.

So we'll see. Maybe he'll hang his big old cowboy boots up at some point, but I don't know. We'll see. No, I don't. So there's, there's like a new Iowa poll.

That's like, yeah. Where he's still alive. Yeah. Despite a series of great polls for Trump, like nationwide, the new numbers of an Iowa seem to leave the door open for desantis but like is iowa the first primary for them i think so oh it is oh okay i thought that might be is that only the democrats

well no the first one for the democrats used to be new hampshire but they switched it up to go to south carolina so they could prop up uh you know joe byron jay biden yeah yeah okay but all right so iowa is still in the mix it's still important january 15th yeah i believe that's going to be the first one so the poll shows desantis in second with 19 trump elsewhere has held like a 46 point lead over everyone I still I just I don't I don't know if I buy this but it does does seem like the media might just need him to be a serious candidate for there to be like any tension in this race right yeah because they're not going to get they're not going to do the same numbers like in 2016 where this is going to be where everyone's like oh fuck Trump or they're like going to do the same numbers like in 2016 where this is going to where everyone's like, oh, fuck Trump, where they're like, I don't know.

Let's see this weird Trump guy can do something. But yeah, I mean, like it's it's the same thing that like we talked about how the polls like kind of shift around, like more so within the Republican Party. But like a lot of analysts are more worried about the Georgia trial because like the shit when like more shit comes out about that like george like specifically georgia republicans are worried they're just going to be like man fuck okay jesus this guy fucking sucks and then that would really you know when you do the electoral college math georgia is fucking you know very very important so i don't know i don't know if there's any anything's going to fucking change because Trump basically runs the party. So good luck to us all. Truly. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and finish out with some more news.

Out of the most delicious food and its history.

Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

We're back we're back and yeah so there's a hurricane that turned into a tropical storm and then when it was making landfall in southern california there was an earthquake um uh kind of a weird weekend unique weekend in southern california watching the local news they were like what a memorable day yeah for some californians yeah right like famous last words when like an actual hurricane makes landfall like directly on our fucking doorstep yeah and then we see what happens but i mean the combination made my eyes bleed jack hurricane and earthquake i'm sorry twitter was fucking insufferable when the earthquake la twitter look i love i know a lot of y'all but the fucking earthquake fucking

tornado hurricane screenshot like wars that happened i i was i grew very weary very quickly um but yeah like the rains get all the way up to Nevada where they're saying like, you know, there's going to be terrible flooding there. It's just wild to think last time an actual hurricane even got near the California coast was 1858. Oh, okay. We were still engaged in chattel slavery. The last time a fucking hurricane got near California.

The last time a storm system came through was 1939 and i remember like asking around because never in my memory has this ever happened i asked my like anyone i'm like do y'all know anybody have a memory of this nope not a single person um and guess what's causing all this unique weather it's not same-sex marriage folks it's climate change i was gonna say same sex yeah i know it's climate change I just want to get ahead of you. But yeah, the Pacific had record-setting warm water temperatures, which is what you need

for a hurricane to form, plus the absence of traditional winds that usually keep hurricanes away from the coast were gone. So basically, there's a red carpet for Hillary to just do her thing. Just come on up. Come on up. Come check it out. I've been arguing for a red carpet for Hillary to just do her thing and just come on up. Come on up. Come check it out.

I've been arguing for a red carpet to let Hillary do her thing. Let Hillary cook. But only in the Democratic politics. Yes. Yeah, I know. I know. And you weren't heard. But hey, maybe this time we will do the right thing.

Thank you. The fucking weird upside to all this is that just the sheer amount of rain in southern california they like a lot of the experts like it's significantly lowered the risk of forest fires for like a couple weeks look at that which i forget who someone on twitter and forgive me for not having it offhand was like hooray the the climate change hurricanes are gonna like we'll put out the climate change forest fires yeah see yeah so what's everybody so worried about just kind of sit back and let nature do her thing you know yeah i'm terrified like just to know that now like we're firmly in this place now

where it's like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this can happen. Yeah, every year a different unprecedented thing. I'm not sure our infrastructure is ready for, like, a true hurricane. I know it's, I mean, it's fucking, our infrastructure isn't ready for a fucking, people to drive on the fucking roads. Right. When it rains, yeah. Yeah, so.

But shout out to everybody who stayed their ass home. I was, I was blown away. I had to, like, run out to get something on Sunday ass home i was i was blown away i had to like run out to get something on sunday and everybody really took it to heart to like not go out if you don't have to yeah la just in the rain is crazy it's terrifying for people yeah it's terrifying and it's not like it there is just something that naturally happens where it rains so infrequently that like two months worth of like dust and silt get built up on the roads and then when it rains it gets like very slippery and shitty um but it's inadvisable yeah all right uh kid rock got busted drinking bud light despite being loser um where was he he was at a country music show okay

and and just just gripping and ripping that blue can of blood like bud light yeah colt ford's show oh colt ford my favorite brands definitely uh definitely a real name colt ford well yeah you have to name your child after a gun that's like the new i mean like i know so many people who like married conservatives and stuff like their kids like you know have gun names yeah gun first name truck last name or what are you doing? Yeah. Here's my nephew, Glock Ram. What? So, yeah, I mean, this is a lot of people are questioning whether or not performed a backs of impotent social media rage or 100% trustworthy after TMZ snapped a photo of Kid

Rock drinking a Bud Light. We were rooting for Light. We were rooting for you. We were all rooting for you. What the fuck happened? I didn't see the video, but I guess he shot up a case of Bud with a literal machine gun as part of his

anti-trans raid. Yeah, he did. I think we talked about it. You had to buy all that Bud Light, does she yeah yeah anyway fine yeah the the buying things so that you can protest them movement always highly effective um but yeah in this he just he seems to be kicking back and enjoying a bud light yeah it's no big deal for him or something. He fucks with Bud Light. That's his shit, almost.

I'd imagine if you were a principled bigot, and you would first probably post from the show, be like, I can't believe my man Colt Ford is serving Bud Light over here. No way. I'm all about the silver bullet all the way from colorado colorado but no uh he's he yeah well before anybody gets any big ideas uh some people are pointing out that this could easily all be an elaborate deception how so tmz could have photoshopped a Coors can to make it look like a Bud Light. I just want to read from a tweet from 1MZer0cool.

I saw TMZ put out a story showing Kid Rock drinking Bud Light. Actually, he was drinking a Coors Light can. This is a lie. Someone altered it. Look at the pic carefully. Also, the blue outline doesn't match the blue can. Someone took the Bud Light logo and insert it over the blue on the can. What?

So, yeah. It's just very... I'm worried about y'all I really am this guy just did a bunch of like screen caps and just drew circles on shit exactly

this is what the Coors logo looks like here's my circle and now look at this larger circle I'm drawing over Bud Light notice how this circle is bigger than the other one therefore there you go this is a stalin photoshop job yeah interesting y'all um has he said anything yeah as far uh you know to answer for his crimes he hasn't he hasn't responded to our request for comment um yeah come on coward

let us know what were you really thinking he oh man he hasn't posted since july 4th this man is quiet he's also looking very much like freddy krueger like he he's got like some something going on with the fedora that i i haven't seen him without a hat and in a long time but the fedora is like also weird it feels like it's too big for his head right which i'm not i guess that's probably called something else maybe when a fedora looks too big at that point that's definitely not a stanzo brand fedora no um they stink like they're terrible but they're stanzos they're pretty good yeah um anyways uh we we will keep you posted uh you you don't have to like have your google alert set or be constantly refreshing kid rocks twitter to find out what he has to say about this

because um we we will be all over this shit 100 yes miles there's a new space race uh apparently there is we're all trying to get to the south pole of the moon um because there's ice there they think and they so on the one hand this could answer all sorts of interesting age-old scientific questions about like how uh water got to our moon uh how we got breathable air all the you know just questions about where we come from why we here but the laws around international you know uh moon law yeah moon law moon law is unfounded right right right we don't know what to do so anybody can go up there and just fuck around with the south pole huh right yeah so basically russia india china and america are all trying to get to the south pole of the moon and Russia had a not so great experience this weekend

they were closing in on being the first people to land at the south pole and the Roscosmos space agency put it in a statement that the Luna 25 their unmanned spacecraft moved into an unpredictable orbit

and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon um shout out to russia and just their way of bad things yeah ceased the shit ceased to exist y'all that's how that's how much it got fucked up as it slammed into the moon yeah wow so it vaporized yeah um well i mean i what like what the fuck why do we want is there even enough water like i get that there might be ice but given the size of the moon is that like really something to be like yeah man motherfuckers can like hang out there for a while yeah i think they want to make it an outpost so that like they have a stopover on their way to mars maybe oh i hate connecting flights yeah exactly layover uh okay i think it has like you know legitimate scientific reasons for for being

interesting yeah yeah uh there's also the you know nasa is trying to get there with their Artemis mission, which will eventually lead to, according to them, an outpost in 2030. And the Americans have specifically said they don't want China to get to the South Pole first. Oh, God. Here we go. For what? The promise is that it seemingly contains ice, which could provide not only drinking water, but breathable air and even rocket fuel. I'm not sure how that works. Oh, because they can be combined, they're saying.

Right. Hydrogen and oxygen to make fuel for rockets. Okay. All right, science folks. Like with a steam engine? Dude, I don't know. Ask me how to fucking boil an egg or roll a blunt dude that's about the extent of my technical knowledge i'm not about i don't know what the fuck's going on with this

super producer brian says you split the water into hydrogen and oxygen okay that makes sense um oh yeah yeah yeah i know that yeah yeah yeah right right right right right yeah split the water but yeah like i you know it may also contain clues about the very nature of our planet and the process that took place in the early solar system that may have brought water to Earth. But if commercial interests get there first and start mining, that information could be lost. And international law to regulate mining the moon is not well formed. So, yeah, moon law, not great. So the secrets of the universe may be maybe lost yeah just have

like all these global powers being like saying they got dibs on the south pole of the moon is right can only imagine but what other things are going to cease to exist yeah in pursuit of that all right well those are some of the things that were trending over the weekend. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Very special, whole ass episode of the show.
