Anyway, welcome to the new era. Welcome to the new era. Yeah. Summer sketch. Maybe permanent. We'll see. How was your weekend? My weekend was good.

We went back to D.C. Saw some old friends. How was Joe Biden? My wife did see Joe Biden. We were walking back. We were walking back on campus where we went to college. And there was a dude setting up for a local news shot. And I was just like, whoa, what's going on?

What's happening? Who's this guy? Who's this guy? And he was like, the president's coming in 15 minutes to that church to go to like saturday evening mass uh and we were like oh okay that's that's cool and sarah stuck around to to watch but i i asked him like so what do you what are you hoping to get out of those he's like they won't use it unless he falls down so if you could like shout his name yeah i was like yeah yeah we'll startle him and yeah hey man you you mind taking this bucket of ky jelly and just dumping it all over the steps over there

i think i think we might get him to slip yeah but my wife saw him and uh said he looked good spry strong strong as steel strong And completely confused as to where he was. How about you, Miles? How was your weekend? I went to a movie for the first time since the baby's been born. Her Majesty, she's on top of her social game, so she's like, hey, I'm going to go out, I'm going to go out. I haven't ever made plans to be like, can I go out,

and then you'll stay at home, and I'll try and do something? And she was very much encouraging me. She's like, you need to go do shit. And I was like, no, this is cool. I like being at home and stuff. And I like being with the baby and everything. You're starting to look like the old man from the Unforgiven video.

Topical ref for all the kids. 1992 music video. Metallica? That's the one you're talking about? yeah yeah you remember that video though that shit was like burned in my heart because it's so dark like an old guy who like lives in a sewer yeah oh yeah yeah i mean not quite there but yeah so i went and i went and saw uh spider-man opening weekend first time i've done an opening like marvel weekend viewing so we'll talk about that later on yeah we will it did incredibly well uh thanks to you no thanks to me um but yeah it's supposed to be really good yeah it's supposed to be a banger but first of course

we have to open up with the story on everyone's mind yeah and that is uh our lord mark zuckerberg's new persona yeah uh he's he's a bad man he's a badass he's a bad man as they say a role he's a bad him a bad man there's this report in the new york times over the weekend that was just talking about his whole like macho man aesthetic and like how he was posting a selfie with a flak jacket and he's like i did the murph navy seal challenge like 100 pull-ups run a mile 200 sit-ups 300 squats run a mile all while wearing a 20 pound flak jacket to like honor the like fallen navy seal from 2005 and people were like oh okay then he also participated in his first brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament recently and this is why we're talking about that this because i'm just gonna read this one part this is so this is what the new york

times had to say and then it caused a shit storm in the zuckerberg world um apparently so he did his first bjj tourney and one of his opponents must have overheard mark zuckerberg saying that he walked out of anger management early because uh my, Mr. Mark, got tough guide, okay? It said on May 6th, Mr. Zuckerberg competed in his first Brazilian jiu-jitsu event in Woodside, California, where he defeated an Uber engineer and won two medals and lost consciousness.

That's what it said. What an adventure. They go on, Jose Lucas Costa da Silva, a veteran Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter who refereed one of Zuckerberg's matches, said that he halted the bout after he heard Mr. Zuckerberg start to snore, a sign of someone who has passed out in a chokehold. Quote, this is something we are trained to know, said Mr. Costa de Silva, who added that Mr. Zuckerberg was a good sport,

who was, quote, enjoying the moment. So he said, yeah, man he got it happens it happens sometimes you don't tap and then you get put to sleep well guess what he like did that and took it in stride and was just like yeah I too am human I'm not doing this to make it seem like I'm not human

or like better than anyone right yeah I got choked out like anybody else would I'm not leoto machida i'm not hoist gracie you know what i mean like what do you want me to do i'm marks oh wait no this is just the following paragraph i think there was edited in this new york times he said quote after this article was published friday afternoon both mr zuckerberg and his coach mr camarillo reached out and said that the meta boss had not lost consciousness. Quote,

that never happened, Mr. Zuckerberg wrote in an email. According to Mr. Camarillo, Mr. Costa da Silva, who was the ref, quote, mistook his students' effortful grunting for snores. Uh-huh. Sure, Jan. Yeah, I was just taking a little net on purpose to get my power

ready to flip on this dude and they just didn't didn't know my strategy and that's my fault i should have more clearly communicated my strategy your shit's all choked up like yeah like some breaths might sound gurgly snoring but i bet if you go limp and you're snoring i have a feeling that the ref who has been doing jujitsu more than you probably knew. Oh, okay. He's out. He tapped out.

The thing is, it goes on because of like meta people went out to other news outlets like the Daily Beast and also said, quote, at no point during the competition was Mark knocked unconscious. That never happened. Elena Widman, a spokesperson for meta meta told the daily beast yo he got the the company's spokespeople involved like that you know what's even better then they go like this is what was doing over the weekend oh then they go full like stalin polit bureau kind of shit where they said widman who's the spokesperson, said, quote, a fellow Meta employee witnessed the match firsthand and that the referee in question, quote, apologized

to Mark and his coach after the match for prematurely calling the match. Wow. Okay. You think you would have heard something like that, but I like how they go. According to one of the people who depends on Mr. Zuckerberg for their financial survivability, they said they saw the ref say, that was on me.

I'm bad. I'm on drugs, and I don't know what I'm doing. He's going to have a press conference where he's like, I apologize to my family. I need to go into rehab now because I've made some big mistakes in my life. There's something about narcissism that doesn't allow you to acknowledge that you've been choked out um oh yeah there's also the famous steven seagal choke out that he claims never happened but legendarily he was choked out by somebody who was you know good at martial arts and he shit himself and right uh he he claims that

didn't happen didn't happen which i understand that getting getting choked out and shitting yourself is uh it's it's a tough one it's a tough one to take i can see yeah that jujitsu referee he remember when that that yankees coach don zimmer attacked pedro martinez in that bench clearing brawl and like and then pedro like just lightly guided him to the ground he's like you're like, don't fucking come at me, bro. I'm a pitcher and you're an old man. And then remember his apology press conference that Don's? And he's like, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to. Weeping openly. Yeah, I feel like maybe that's where we're going to see the jiu-jitsu referee happening. But don't worry, Mark. I get it. You never tapped. It's all good. There's also something about uh like i always

notice this in boxing when somebody's like out on their feet completely knocked out like everybody's like oh my god please save this person's life yeah yeah the referee intervenes and the person's immediately like what are you doing i was fine no bro you only you only had that because the bell went and you realize you you're safe now there's also like i wasn't asleep which happens to me sometimes where my wife's like are you are you asleep no i wasn't i wasn't asleep where you don't think you were asleep but you actually were asleep oh fully yeah i've i was caught doing that the other day watching tv and yeah that's what i i do the aura ring and like to

track my sleep and that is one thing that i learned is like when i'm like oh man i was up all night i got like two hours of sleep and then i like look at the sleep record and it's like you slept for seven hours last night well what are you talking about wait so it just doesn't feel restful yeah it just doesn't feel restful but you think you're getting less sleep than you actually are yeah and it sounds like mark zucker think you're getting less sleep than you actually are. Yeah. And it sounds like Mark Zuckerberg thought he got less sleep than he actually did in this martial arts tournament. There's got to be someone with video, right? Like, if I'm at a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament and he's like, the gym that fucking Zuckerberg, like, fights at is called, like, Gorilla Jiu-Jitsu Team. Like, yeah, but, like, G-U-E.

And I'm like, this is all bad but i feel like you would just take video because you're like if this guy gets tapped this is like this is money right here this is tmz right here but yeah you don't think they like meta confiscated all phones the second anybody yeah it's probably like when nike got rid of all those pictures of like a rod sort-Rod's steroid chest when he was getting flabby pec muscles. All of those pictures were just scrubbed clean from the internet because of Nike.

A-Rod is the most powerful person in media because there was also a picture of him going to the bathroom that somebody took through a window that immediately got scrubbed. Can't happen. Where is this Zipruder film of you catching Z's, sir? took through a window that immediately got scrubbed he's yeah can't happen he will disappear you where's the subruder film of you catching z's sir i want to see it all right there's a

cool story in the new york times about brownsville so this is a trend that we were kind of asking for during you know the george floyd protests you know, looking at communities that had put together programs where 911 calls would be routed to non-police services. And, you know, Denver was trying it out. And the New York Times did a pretty cool profile of like a program in Brownsville that was, you know, it's basically like a community, a group of civilians with no arrest power, but just who are regular people who other people in the community know and respect, um,

just step in five days, uh, every couple of months, they basically take over for the police and the police channel all 9-1-1 calls from that area to civilians and unless there's a major incident you know they just step in and they've had incredible success uh the first half of 2023 homicides fell 50 shootings fell 25 grand larcenies of automobiles also fell even as it rose in other neighborhoods and it's you know the police are cooperating like coordinating with them but they're

but it sounds like so they shadow them in case like things arrive to a level that actual like armed law enforcement would need to be there so they're but the first line of defense is that members of the community are like intervening first to this like talk people to talk to people yeah exactly to talk to people or like i remember that like there was a story that we talked about in eugene oregon actually like had this for a long time like starting in the early 80s like a a program of civilians and like it was just you know somebody who was drunk and needed to like get program of civilians. And like, it was just, you know,

somebody who was drunk and needed to like get out of their house because they were in a fight with their significant other, like they couldn't drive anywhere. And so these people were just like, Oh, you need a ride. And it just gave them a ride. And it like completely like,

you know, helped solve the situation in a way that if police show up with guns drawn would have done the opposite. And there's another story here where somebody dropped off somebody with paranoid schizophrenia and who was really drunk

and they just kind of sat with them for a couple hours and got them into a shelter. And yeah, it's worth reading we'll link off to it in the footnotes because it yeah it's just like all these kind of common sense things that would be calls to the police in other situations like fights outside of a bodega or something that like you know instead some people just come through and are like stop acting like an idiot yeah yeah they figure it out i mean it's like well they tell your mom kept a man from robbing a bodega people were turning in illegal guns they stopped a pregnant

woman from hitting a boyfriend who had not bought a car seat and a stroller as he had promised that is so specific i know but i'm like kind of like damn bro you gotta listen man when don't don't say you're gonna get that shit and not get that shit the stakes are high you need the car seat fam yeah the new york times article is like i mean he kind of deserved it but we're gonna say they're like yikes i mean what how could he possibly defend himself that yeah as he had promised that sounds like it feels like the next one would be like and another couple who was beginning to have a violent argument after one partner was leaving dishes in the sink to soak overnight right yeah that's right it's like yeah

these are the kinds of things we're intervening in yeah they also offer services like free child care addiction recovery like that so it's like there's a first line of people who are like there to kind of you know help with conflict resolution and then there's a second line of people who have experience helping people with all sorts of problems that typically arise right in the lives of people so yeah usually just get funneled to the police right and it's so it's it's it's just wild to think right like in any neighborhood like any person could imagine like in my community we have people with all of these skills yeah you know like exactly that you if it is just about investing your attention to your community like i've played peacemaker

plenty of times like i i feel like i have a i have a knack for talking to the youth uh it's like getting on their level turning my hat around you know what i mean exactly and be like hey fella let's talk for a second but i mean like you see how like again rather than just transferring all of these calls to people who don't have any patience or any skills and just have weapons that yeah it makes perfect sense that you'd see all of these sort of rights of these incidents that start to fall so quickly and it just makes me feel like damn man like we really just only gives more credence to the fact that like your own community is the best way to take care of your own community rather than they're funding it's not like all volunteer they're they're funding it right a little like a little bit you know not not the way that it should be

but yeah not in the billions of dollars right but like i think they gave it 2.3 million dollars over a couple years to like bring all these different organizations together and coordinate it with police response but yeah i mean it's like it builds community it creates jobs that actually make people's lives better which is like so rare uh it it just feels like such a such a no-brainer that uh politicians would run on if if they were smart yeah it's also that wild thing where like you know like a city loves to save money right and you'd imagine like this is probably so much cheaper than like just a fully blown out militarized police force but then you're like caught in this rock in a hard place of like but i like spending less money because capitalism but also the military

industrial complex that is now the police do i turn that spigot off yeah well i have a feeling that uh i don't know i hope that more programs like this take hold 100 yeah put money back in into the community instead of into like defense contractors yeah which is so wild when like you're talking like the how are they like solving crime they're like i don't know offering people fucking child care yeah how about that that actually helps a lot. Addiction recovery? You know, like, essentially, like, yeah, we have a table with social safety nets. And that's how we keep everyone safe.

Okay, let's extrapolate that to the bigger picture, please. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back with some more top stories of the weekend.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 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.

And we're back. And we mentioned this a couple weeks back that Apple was rumored to be preparing to drop a new reality on all of our asses they've been working on a headset a vr headset for seven years uh it looks like ski goggles that are like opaque basically you know what it looks like it looks like from fifth element the makeup visor that lilu puts on her face to put like all her makeup on i don't know if you remember it they're just like this eye visor like because it's all futuristic and just like put it to her face and then like removed it had a full face of makeup full face of makeup but it looks very similar to that i know that's probably too specific of a reference plus fuck

luke bassan go on it wouldn't be if i had seen that movie or i think i saw it and didn't remember it i was just thinking about it a lot because recently that but the can film festival people were talking about like johnny depp's new movie and like how he like it's like made by this woman like myron who was luke basson's like child bride yeah it was also the blue singer in fifth element anyway that's why i had that all in my mind right now she was in the professional which was about like you know it was like very serious pedophile overtones and like specifics uh and then he like had a child bride actress from that yeah and then he left her for mila jovovich cool Anyway, all that to say is this headset, but is it actually coming out today?

Cause I read that some, like it's possible that the drops today, but it's also possible they give their shook and they're like, they might wait later, but it seems like, it seems like all the momentum sounds like today is the day. We should acknowledge that everything we've set up to this point is paid content from Apple was like all

right could you bring up this uh you know headset and also connect it somehow to luke luke bassan they did ask for that it's sorted history yeah um but yeah i, the headset is expected to cost $3,000, which like the other most expensive one on the market is $1,000. From who? From who? From Quest Pro. Yeah, from, but the unchokeoutable Mark Zuckerberg's meta. That's right. Just want to reiterate that.

He cannot be choked out i actually like my yeah we're we're looking at the same article and my brain just like doesn't like it just goes past meta as a word without like it yeah right can't go into my brain it's turned off that word because i'm i find it so boring but yeah that's that that one's for meta it seems people are very hopeful that this will like spur um developers to create like some killer apps that will make this make sense but as of right now like it feels like most people are out on the metaverse right like the vr stuff has just been for gaming i mean i think that they say that there could be cool augmented reality gaming stuff it seems like it's a lot of augmented reality again i'm like this is the the what from

what i've been reading i agree with every take i've seen from like tech journalists who are like this is like this is so not like an apple thing you know there's nothing about it that's revolutionary it's not it's not like creating it's not addressing like this massive need that we didn't realize it was going to fill especially with like a three thousand dollar price i mean i get i don't doubt that it's going to be fucking cool you know what i mean i'm sure it'll be fun or whatever like but like to the point where i'm like yeah i need to spend three thousand dollars to have that i mean unless you have that kind of disposable income like i'm pretty sure most people are going to fucking pass on it so so okay like one of the i think when we first talked about it we were looking at like this heads-up display this hypothetical heads-up display that was like basically google maps but

right in your vision which seems like it it assumes a future where people are walking around with these opaque visors on like down the street. It replaces that. So it's not it has like some of the stuff of like Google Glass, but instead of being see-through, it like replaces that with cameras. Yeah. Maybe like you got camera eyes. Like that could be cool. You could like zoom on shit.

You've got little camera eyes. I'm not. You're asking, I know you didn't quite literally ask this, but you're asking what is an overlay app that you could get on board with? Yeah, I'm trying to think of like, facial recognition is the one that would help me the most, but that violates people's privacy pretty badly. Every idea I have is an absolute violation of privacy.

Because the only thing I'm, it's like, I want to indulge the fact that I'm not a superhuman. Which is like, I want to be able to read someone's mind. I'm like, oh, what do you do? Where are you from? How old are you? I want to see a tidy four-line summation of a person so I can just jump to conclusions

very quickly and keep moving with my day. But yeah, I don't know. I think it would be something like, where is this person from? person so i can just jump to conclusions very quickly and keep moving with my day but yeah i don't know i think it would be something like where like where is this person from right what's their name like sometimes i like walking around la and be like oh you're not from la where are you from the midwest where are you from the east coast and it's funny when you see people like like in la people like meet each other and ask each other like you have like such an east coast vibe like it's something here's so much in la that i'm like what can i get a smoking cigarettes and giving everyone the finger that yeah exactly yeah like east coast vibe to you where are you um anyways we'll see you know

maybe apple has come up with or will come up with some you know apps that will make this way cooler than it seems at this moment it's just like the things that they've created in the past have generally been like when they dropped the iphone it was like obvious what was cool about it like you didn't know buttons right yeah that was the cool thing that was the thing like you just touched the fucking glass part yeah yeah motherfucker exactly and even like an apple watch you understood like fucking the ipad even though in the beginning i remember i was like man this is a big ass iphone fuck that cut to me like holding my ipad like at night as i go to sleep um yeah but i just don't think with this i think just the cost chest yeah it's just the cost and what it promises to do just doesn't feel life-changing at least for

like in my day-to-day life uh because it's not like it's like it doesn't seem like you could safely like ride a bike with those shits on maybe that'd be cool but yeah i feel like that would maybe be illegal like if i saw somebody driving i would be i mean like i guess they're called pass-through cameras they're like that they're probably like work really well like work better than the human eye but um i don't know it still worries me no for sure i think i but you know we're gonna see some assholes like i can't wait for that string of like viral images of people getting caught wearing those things in

the weirdest places. Because you know, there's Apple fan people who are going to be lining up and they're going to be like, yeah, I drive a school bus with these on. Alright, let's talk some shitty TikTok trends. Oh no.

We got tattooing. So this one, I think we can just tell people you don't even have to click. Yeah, you don't have to watch the video. You can just move on when you see this one. Because it seems like they're about to tattoo a toddler, like their baby child. Here's the first line from an article on inside it says quote videos of toddlers receiving fake tattoos have gone mega viral in recent months sparking concern from tiktok viewers who seemed convinced the ink was real and like yeah there's

like a bunch of videos where you like it's like a tattoo gun you hear it going off they touch it to like a little kid's skin and then like like you clearly see like a happy face being drawn on and then like 80 of the way through the video like a text card comes up like before you freak out it's clear it's a marker and not a needle and it's not an actual tattoo i just wanted you to believe it up to this point so i would get enough outrage views and there's other ones of like other little kids like going to like a tattoo shop and like picking out a tattoo and like getting their skin all prepared and all this other shit it's it's just so fucking wild because it's just a bummer to watch because it's all just they're doing it for outrage views um right and like but all you're doing is like

faux child abuse so that's what you're like it's like being like it's like be like pov you're starving your child for the third straight week because he dropped your ps5 controller and then you're like before you start thinking this is real it's not i'm joking that i'm starving my child because because they broke a playstation 5 control it's a joke now move on that's the whole world is just scams now it's just like we don't we don't mind anymore like they're that did you see that like trump bucks thing yeah where they were like yeah so good but like they open every video being like this is trump bucks is not legal tender but then right right of course just go on to say that it's legal tender you know it's so funny

when we talked about that story both jacques and daniel thought i don't did you see the clip from when he was when trump was up supposedly on fox news talking about trump bucks and it was just a bad impersonator no i didn't see it oh my god the clip is like and with these new trb trump bucks you will be rich and i'm like this is such a bad impersonation and afterwards they're both like wait so he did that on fox i'm like god no y'all that's the worst impression i've ever heard don't buy these you're fired yeah whoa he said he said come out there and i was like we should we should buy those that's what you heard what he said for 99 $99, we can get $10,000 worth of Trump bucks. Yeah.

That's a 100x deal. But anyways, we've openly, like the scam is in, the idea of scamming is just in the bloodstream. We don't care anymore. We're just like, ah, they really got my ass with this waste of my 80 seconds watching someone draw a happy face with a marker on their kid dog you got me you got me i watched way too long of a video of someone tattooing a toddler where my attention goes it's also unclear if the toddler knew it was not going to be real because the toddler is like is it gonna hurt it's gonna hurt right no it's not gonna hurt it's gonna be fine um

just don't worry about it don't worry about it jack you know about tiktok slang yeah let's talk tiktok slang which i knew some of this like i knew the there's some of this that is not tiktok slang no just uh like long-term acronyms that people have been using for a long time. Yeah, there's this list on, how do you say it? Dexerto? Oh, Dexerto. Yeah, Dexerto.com saying TikTok slang, explain boomers, buckle up. But like, I don't know what generation this list is intended for,

because there's clearly things that have'm like have existed since i was a since i were a young person uh and then like other explanations that are a little bit more like yeah i would say esoteric that if you're not on if you're not fully tiktok brained you might not know um but like yeah i i don't know i was just like when it said what does ceo mean and it's like so it's like tiktok slang explain the first one is pov which has been around for quite a while but that's i get for that that's a form that's a format or style of tiktok video is the pov one the description doesn't explain that like pov does not actually mean what pov means in film like a pov shot in film is like you are seeing from jason vorhees's perspective

as he walks up whereas pov is like pov you're doing something like it it just seems like it's not whose perspective is it i remember when i first saw them i was like but this isn't from the pov of the person you just labeled this looks like it's a third party watching this i was like yeah that's where my old man brain was like man this ain't this ain't pov and then after a while i'm like okay we're using it loosely like how we don't know how to say nonplussed exactly yeah we're just we're close enough um they also have ceo which i was like oh they have a new meaning of ceo uh and the definition ceo is a term that has of course

predated TikTok meaning chief executive officer but thanks to social media the term has taken on new meaning to be the CEO of something means that you're the best at the thing in question and is generally meant as a compliment what do you the CEO of would you say if you're giving yourself like a

this rap shit oh shit okay I like that I'm a CEO of asleep uh in a dark room i'm sorry the lights go down what i'm up i'm up what do you what what i'm i'm awake i'm awake i was man i'm sorry when i was going to see spider-man the second uh nicole kidman showed up on screen i started going away to la la land just twinkle twinkle land oh so you you just liked like the couple minutes that you were conscious for well of the of the spider-man it was i mean i

might as well talk about it it was i so i will say this pro tip the way to not fall asleep in a movie is make sure you go to a movie where the main character has your name also that's right because the amount of miles and i'm like i'm like fucking starting to doze off and i just hear that name over and over okay i'm here i'm here all that to say like in the first two minutes i was a little i was kind of i don't know why sudden like the movie's starting and i'm like what the fuck is happening to me just because i'm sitting still in a dark room and then dude it's so fucking good the animation is somehow i think better than the first one which was really cool which is breathtaking but this is like the way they're like um actually modeling things in 3d so like there are these camera moves within like an animated backdrop like give this really great

cinematic quality to it along with just like the the sort of the comic book art that they're sort of smashing together because because it's like this multiverse thing you have some characters that are like sort of drawn in other styles like you know spider punk who's now my favorite new favorite character uh not just because he's like a fash bashing anti-capitalist like punk rock person but also voiced by the legend daniel kaluuya uh and you know obviously ardent arsenal supporter uh but yeah i i just gotta say it's i'm so like i don't i was i keep telling you this on like what we talk about like editorial stuff i gotta go to the movies like i have to go it's fun i love going

to the movies i miss it i'm i i'm always rooting for movies to do well even if they're you know like air i didn't love it but i'm so happy it did pretty well when it came out sure sure yeah you gotta go you gotta go uh there were so many it's fun actually seeing you know like i people know i'm notoriously ignorant of the mcu so like when shit happens i'm huh huh luckily with like these animated spider-man ones like i know i know enough about spider-man just in general to like keep up with these but every now and then there's like a reference to the mcu where like the crowd erupts and i'm like part of me was like what the fuck are y'all going on about and then i'm like right that's the magic of like being engaged or something is like you get these little tidbits and everyone gets so excited people are

getting emotional at times i didn't know why uh but it was a it could just be because i'm completely disconnected from my emotions maybe that could be it but yeah fantastic fantastic highly recommend the spider pig make a return yeah john millennia oh man but not like for that real yeah you don't get a ton of spider pig uh quips uh but lighter ham but it's dope the amount of like other spiders peoples spiders emerge yeah do they pluralize it as spiders men no they don't is that they don't well i wish they did yeah yeah really wish they did, but no. There's no Spiders Men. Issa Rae is fantastic. It's just great viewing.

And if you don't know anything about the MCU, it's fine. Because you can watch it and you know exactly what's going on. Alright. Well, you have your recommendation, which we'll always have a recommendation for you on this weekend rewind.

Rewind. Also, this Korean we'll always have a recommendation for you on this weekend rewind rewind oh also this korean netflix show siren this fucking reality show is so wild it's like the most high stakes game of capture the flag i've ever seen uh it's pretty dope it's like groups of like different these women that have like they're like firefighters or bodyguards or like policemen or like stunt people or whatever and they it's it's it's fucking wild anyone who's played like high like capture like liked playing capture the flag there's no way you could watch this and like it won't that won't resonate you if you want resonate with you if you watch it yeah yeah um any anything else from the tiktok slang list that was helpful to you that that you had seen and didn't know what it was? Accountant.

So at the time, because like a lot of these were like, they start off being like, yeah, we know what a fucking CEO is. And then there's like accountant, which is the first time I was like, okay. They said the term accountant blew up after Yuzi Rocky Patera uploaded a video which he explained via a catchy song why he prefers to tell people he's an accountant rather than saying he's a quote struggling actor. And basically it's just sort of like a you know it's just a stand in for when you don't really want to explain your job to say like

I'm an accountant but particularly now for people who make like adult content or if you're like a sex worker or something you can it's like shorthand saying you're an accountant. Okay. Yeah. There we go. And i was like oh i didn't i didn't realize see i would have been like wait all y'all are accountants like is how i think i would have been if i was congratulations wow so you're all cpas great um do y'all do taxes too because i i could i could use some help and then a lot of it's just like aave right where

you're just like yeah we know like like smh or like like i don't like i don't know like other things like that i hadn't realized seen it as ion i didn't i didn't know ion was i don't know like you know i don't care about that i thought it was ion like twin ion engines from star wars hey there he is there he is um yeah he is. Nah, I don't. But that's what's funny when you see those things broken down into standard English. I don't.

I don't. And we've talked about the riz, the meaning of someone with charisma. Unspoken riz. Unspoken riz. Unspoken riz refers to someone's ability to attract people without speaking to them um i got that yeah yeah we both have that to a crazy degree mostly it is helpful to see it acknowledged and so that people know why people are describing us that way yeah it's mostly because we we draw them in out of

concern they're concerned for us at first that thing all right them in yeah and i'm like that's riz they're like no oh okay so you're fine i'm like yeah yeah did you know yeah you fell right into my trap my riz trap worried about my safety call me riz kifa. There you go. All right. Let's take one more break. We'll come back. A couple last trends and we have a lot of questions. Like, how do I speak up when I'm feeling overwhelmed?

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. 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. And we're back. uh people are saying trump might get indicted uh might just get caught in a rico um potentially yeah i do not think those words are going to be uttered but it says there there's things that the georgia trump rope signs might be pointing to racketeering charges yeah then they specifically think the jack smith investigation is you know coming to some sort of conclusion uh some sort of a charging decision right may be imminent so yeah we you know we don't know we don't know keep an eye on that one yeah i'll be like yeah. Wake me up when it's actually, when it happens.

Yeah. Like I want to see, you know what I want to see? I want to see Trump who can't do his hair and has to go to court. I know. A court appearance. Is it ever going to, that is the, that is the dream. That is, that's the fucking hair Ron that I need to go straight into my veins would be like, uh, yeah.

Fucking prisoner Trump being like, woo oh that'd be a messy comb over man you ain't got hair products oh boy oh boy the other thing is too we mentioned it offhandedly on like on fridays now that there's like fucking tapes of him saying that he had stolen documents and like he knows that they're like he shouldn't have them and he knows he shouldn't be sharing them with people i'm sure i wonder if that accelerated things where his lawyers went to the doj today like hey hey so like this is oh what do you guys think what are you thinking right now so it'll be interesting to see how reality bends its way to letting him get away with absolutely no uh consequences right but exactly you know we'll see we don't know um so there's. There's also, speaking of Trump

being able to get away with everything, Chris Licht, who is the chairman and CEO of CNN Worldwide, he's the guy who came in and was like, CNN's too woke. We need to take it back, make it more like Fox News. He organized

the Trump town hall, where it was just like trump stand-up special yeah um so he had also so another good new uh good decision this guy made in the past couple uh in the past year was that he had given the atlantic's tim alberta just unprecedented months-long access to him just around the clock for everything like talk everybody talk to him tell him the truth we're good here and he just dropped a profile that everyone's like oh this might be it for this guy i love that fucking the the fucking hubris of these people oh yeah man man document everything document everything it's pretty sick what i how i live my life and like what it's just all a bunch like and everyone that works from hates him yes exactly uh so so

here are some of the revelations backstage in new hampshire last month uh he told so this is before the trump stand-up special he told former president trump have fun um which alberta is like trump obliged uh he knew in advance the audience was uh what he called extra trumpy um and everybody at cnn was like are you fucking kidding me with this guy like what is he is he doing? He's trying, but I mean, we, we learned that he was trying to make news. So he's trying to do something outrageous, which is your job as the head of a supposedly trusted news brand. Uh, people at CNN think he's projecting this persona of bulletproof badass because,

uh, that's what Zaslav, our boy for whom a fleabag sex scene was too much uh wants to see but like it's just he's losing employees like constantly bad judgment on big moves seems like he's like all his firings and big decisions have not gone well uh but i i like just like these little personal details at a holiday dinner for his DC based talent at cafe Milano. Like spent much of the dinner looking at his phone, including reading a critical story about him and puck.

So he's just like reading people criticizing him and just like being frowny face. Um, and then he's obsessed with Jeffff zucker who had his job before him um so oh no this paragraph is great licked who went from 226 pounds to 178 via a celebrity trainer told alberta why he was skipping a meal i'm a a fucking machine. Oh my God. Working out at his Manhattan gym, licked, squatted down to grab a long metal pole lying flat on the ground.

Zucker couldn't do this shit. Licked said, clenched teeth, hoisting the pole with a grunt. And he's just lifting the pole like without the weights on it. Oh, you just mean the fucking like the bar to like bench and shit i mean that's what i'm assuming like the 45 pound bar that you put the like the fucking plates

oh i love that yeah oh man i mean maybe maybe he's a bit guy maybe these are just bits that i doubt it continuing like the tom wamsgam story like yeah that seems like such like the dumbest feat of strength but then like evoking your like nemesis to be like i bet he can't do this normal thing you're like okay they took a sip from his sports beverage um no did they say that oh god like that That's what he doesn't think. Come on, Gatorade, Gatorade. I can just see him drinking Gatorade so desperately right after that, too.

Well, now I feel like I gotta read this. And then finally, let's talk. So NASA had a panel where they were basically just like, yeah, there's UFOs.

There are strange metallic orbs all over the planet that we can't explain. It's basically the upshot. And so, I mean, we'll talk more about it. Our expert interview is with an academic, Avi Loeb, who is interested

in the search for extraterrestrial life. This feels like a big moment for acknowledging that there are these things that we can't explain. The panel was just basically... They shared some pictures

of... There was a military drone that captured a picture of the panel was just basically you know they shared some pictures of like there was a military drone that captured a picture of a metallic orb and they were like this is not uncommon we see these all over the time the quote is a quote we see

these all over the world and we see these making very interesting apparent maneuvers and then they've noted 800 similar cases of metallic orbs uh which is weird right i mean it sounds like because like right this panel sort of put together because nasa famously does not talk about anything to do with extraterrestrial intelligence or ufos or uaps or anything like that like they're like we're interested in things outside of like our immediate planet and so this was kind of like a big moment

because this was wasn't this group basically impaneled to help like nasa determine how they want to assist with like this research essentially that yeah like now they're being like now we figured that this is probably worth studying and we're going to come back with like how the best way to engage with this kind of research is going to be. Yeah. And I think like it is important to do this even if they're not extraterrestrials just so that we can like kind of clear that

because there is a lot of interest in it and they have looked at a bunch of these anomalous aerial phenomenon and been able to explain them away. So they have better tools now to capture this stuff than they've ever had before, which I think is where a lot of this is coming from. And now we just have to clear out the ones that are... So this was actually very interesting to me. They talked about what one astronaut talked about. He was on a mission in an F-14 Tomcat supersonic jet. The flight officer in the back seat thought he saw a UFO.

After flying past it, they looped around for another look, and it turns out it was Bart Simpson, a balloon. The air is just full of fucking balloons that you you know you look fucking weird and like don't seem to be there and he specifically said this environment we operate in is so conducive to optical illusions and then he showed other videos of unusual objects that had ordinary explanations three different airplanes mistaken for one glowing troika or once again more weather balloons so you know i think they're trying to be very balanced and just be like look we want

to figure out what these orbs are that like we can't explain like that that is a like being like the there are orbs hovering over the earth and they are maneuvering in ways that we can't explain like that that is a like being like the there are orbs hovering over the earth and they are maneuvering in ways that we can't explain is it feels like a pretty big statement um but i think they also wanted to put it in the context like maybe it's an optical illusion we don't know um so right we will be talking a little bit more about that sort of thing on tomorrow's full app, which is going to be expert interview. And we are going to be hearing from a listener, a couple of listeners about their jobs. And yeah, it's going to be a fun one. Thanks for thanks for listening to this one.
