Starting point is 00:02:01 Hello, the Internet, and welcome to the zeitgenning of the trend that is courtesy of cw gbo on the discord and quickie quickie quickie quidvo yeah that's kind of wg voiceover yeah um anyways i'm jack that's miles and here are some things that are trending on this Monday afternoon. Cookies and cream is trending. Somebody posted a picture of nine flavors and said, what's the goat ice cream? And the popular choice appears to be cookies and cream or cookies and cream. Popular choice appears to be cookies and cream or cookies and cream. The cookies and big cookies and cream got in Twitter's pocket because that is what is like the number two trending thing on Twitter as of like 20 minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Your options, sir. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. Have you heard of those three? No, but I'm open to them. Mint chocolate chip. Cookie dough. Cookies and cream cream butter pecan rocky road and pralines and cream okay um um yeah i really like i really like cookies and cream yeah man but i like them all that the thing. I love like a good butter pecan or pralines and cream. That's probably my pick.
Starting point is 00:03:28 A good butter pecan or a good pralines and cream. I love those two. Pralines and cream is probably mine. Because I just need more shit in it than just one ingredient. Oh, so you like a slop-o, like just kitchen sink type ice cream in general? Yeah, exactly. Okay. I just throw it all in there.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Although not a Rocky Road fan, because for some reason that just like peanuts and marshmallows are not a combo that works for me. It's so weird. I can actually trace why I got into cookies and cream. And again, somebody said I was like the forrest gump of the 90s um but it's i'm gonna i'm gonna add to that lore so my grandparents used to be extras on a lot of shows in the 90s and they were on family matters a lot when they retired because they didn't like my grandfather had this barbecue restaurant he wasn't really doing anything so my uncle got them into being background actors and they were on family matters and became really good friends with jaleel white who played urkel and
Starting point is 00:04:29 they would kick it a lot and i so there were times jaleel would be at my grandparents house and when i went they were like he's like oh you know like they he had cookies and cream ice cream there that he brought to like hang out and i had never had cookies and cream ice cream at that time and he's like this is the best ice cream it's my favorite ice cream and i remember being like it is my favorite ice cream as well thank you i like did he share it or was it like yeah no man it's my favorite so you can't have any hey hey fucking kid what the fuck you think don't get it fucked up this is not for you i remember going to school next time like yeah cookies and cream is actually the best ice cream like nobody knows finding a way to like yeah exactly like i am now shoehorned in but i and i'm i'm trying to figure out if if i
Starting point is 00:05:14 really like it because of this memory of jaleel white or if i because like you said i'm looking at these other things like i love a good mint chocolate chip too those are kind of the ones and cookie dough is fun too i have less stronger feeling like when i look at that whole screen mint chocolate chip butter pecan and pralines and cream really stick out to me so people called you the forrest gump of the 90s before they knew no some listener said that like on the on discord or on Twitter or some shit. I saw it too. Oh. But they called you that before they knew you hung out with Urkel just casually.
Starting point is 00:05:52 I think probably because, yeah, who knows? I mean, the shit that, you know, from rubbing Popstar feet to... That's it, actually. No, I went to school with the Olsen twins. I don't know. You grew up in LA. You're just around a bunch of weird shit all the time and you rubbed urkel's feet and the olsen twins feet right yeah yeah all
Starting point is 00:06:11 everybody if you if you're on abc i was there with the podiatry get a clearer picture of uh how how you became so i will say uh coaxing cream anecdote we had uh my four-year-old uh turned four this this weekend um we had a little like small you know covid responsible four of his friends came over party four for four party okay i like that yeah yeah and uh the cake fell through last minute like there there's this person who we like we we had a cake ordered and then the person flaked basically felt like it fell through your table or something yeah just fell through did not uh turn out as molten metal fell through my hands uh is the way um but anyways we last minute we're like all right what does everybody like called up basking in robin's got that cookies
Starting point is 00:07:05 and cream birthday cake and it was uh by far the most a cake that we've had at our kids birthday party has ever gotten eaten like people were just like yes oh isn't that wild though too and me as well i i always i'm always impressed when i go to a function that has a cake and then it's like the hit of the party because a lot of times people they come lacking with sheet cakes from like the you know ralphs or kroger or whatever and like i get it i get the sentiment but that's not a cake people are gonna eat and then all you have to do is just give the people what they want and it's like man the best thing about that party they had a fucking cookies and cream cake we uh was superhero themed i wore my uh batman costume that i wear for trick-or-treating with a with a fanny pack and white sneakers so
Starting point is 00:07:54 it was like norm norm core dad batman but uh you know that was that was what i needed to do for you for utility um but we also rented to superheroes, like people dressed as superheroes who also do like bad magic tricks and shit. Um, Captain America killed it was like running around, running the show, giving the kids activities and Spider-Man,
Starting point is 00:08:18 which, uh, three of the four kids were, were dressed as Spider-Man anyways. Like everybody, Spider-Man is a hit, uh, among these kids i don't know if you've heard of them spider-man uh no i'm i've i'm i'm not but i have a future i'm open to
Starting point is 00:08:32 it this dude i don't know like my first guess was like i think he might be hung over um spider-man spider-man yeah i showed you i showed you a picture from from that i won't yeah i mean i've never seen a human look more dejected and i don't mean this flippantly i've been brutalizing my eyeballs with like all kinds of media this weekend and somehow that was one of the saddest things i'd seen yeah it's truly he he looks just utterly defeated um with a child beneath yeah there was one kid who in the picture looks like he's consoling him but was actually just looking him directly in his eyes and telling him he knew he wasn't the real spider-man but hold on so uh that was that could like it might just be that his
Starting point is 00:09:18 spirit was broken right he's like i am the real spider-man like what's that what's that i didn't no i don't think I heard you. I just saw the new Spider-Man, and he didn't pull up in a Scion XB. He was also wearing a watch over his Spidey suit with a leather wrist. What? So the commitment, you know. I don't know. Okay, first of all, look.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I've seen all kinds of superheroes at birthdays. I remember back in the 80s, we would always get weird, janky versions of Adam West's Batman. And I remember one dude who was so skinny, I was like, this is not Batman. This is fucking me up, dude. This guy is so thin. And I'm not trying to shame him, but I'm like, all the kids were taken out of it. We were like five. But to have a wrist watch on that
Starting point is 00:10:05 shows you're fucking looking at the clock you're not even being like hey to one of the parents like hey uh when it's 15 minutes out do you mind just kind of signaling to me so i know that guy yeah it was pretty it was pretty wild but you know i fully get that that is a hard gig uh especially you know having lived through some medically debilitating hangovers in my life you know can't hate him it was just a funny funny dynamic captain america doing the most spider-man doing the least the absolute very least huddled the word huddled is trending abc in a headline uh described putin as huddling with advisors but then the accompanying picture is like the scene in the original tim burton batman yeah we're like he and vicky vale are at the opposite ends of like a long fancy table shouting to each other um but it's actually
Starting point is 00:11:05 more exaggerated than that yeah it is comic i'm glad we both had the same geriatric millennial visual response i'm like that's not intimacy at all that's someone who is shook because he's like he's been trying hasn't he been like terribly afraid of contracting COVID? Yeah, I think that's right. Right. Okay. And that's true about Xi too. I think there's something about these authoritarian leaders that they are very germphobic. I remember like Mussolini had like something where he would only consume white stuff. Like he would only consume like milk, basically.
Starting point is 00:11:43 He had a real weird dietary thing, I think. So, I mean, yeah, this, yeah, yeah. These, he is so far away. You, you really, I'm not joking. You would have to be like, yeah. So what we need to do is that's the energy of that photo. Yeah. FIFA, what are we looking at?
Starting point is 00:12:02 What's happening? Yeah. FIFA back at it again, doing too little too late. You know, just coming off of a World Cup in which they openly embraced Russia as a home hosting country. They've now decided that they will ban Russia and its teams basically from World Cup qualifying. And they just, you know, will not be able to therefore qualify for the world cup uh just as like they're going into the like last rounds of uh qualification before we have another absurd world cup not in the summer like it's always been but in the at the end of the year
Starting point is 00:12:37 because it's in cutter um which is almost like okay so what's the reasoning behind okay you're you're curious about like their their aggressive posture and how they treat people but cutter we're not looking at how the stadium oh okay don't worry about that then yeah so yeah uh the footballing world and the other big thing too is like gas prom which is like the natural gas company from russia they have a huge like they are one of the biggest um advertisers for the champions league and the they've like a lot of people are like oh i wonder if they'll while all this talk they'll be able to also say we no longer need your like 50 million dollars a year worth of advertising and apparently
Starting point is 00:13:16 they said no we don't need it so okay we'll see i mean it's so weird like all these sanctions and stuff you see all this stuff like from people like not serving vodka you're like what the like there's so many weird wannabe or uh i don't know what the intentions are where like they're just punishing the wrong people like when they've talked about like revoking like student visas just because you're russian like that that does what exactly uh the people it's the ruling ruling class that you have a problem with, not just the normal people, the everyday worker. Yeah, punish the working class people. Well, because, yeah, you look at the rush on the banks now,
Starting point is 00:13:56 like with the ruble falling, these people, like, it's not, it's not the people who are absolutely, absolutely like going to experience a fallout. It's not going to be like the oligarchs. So it's going to be very, uh, I don't know. Right. We'll see how that all contributes.
Starting point is 00:14:11 And I understand that, you know, they're, the hope is that it puts pressure internally on Putin, but. Is, uh, is Russia typically good at,
Starting point is 00:14:21 like, do they make any noise in world cups? Uh, they got, I think maybe to like the latter stages last time you know because there's always the uh like home nation like edge that you get when you're hosting the host nation edge um but i think like a couple they were like there was there's always allegations of them doping so yeah and like when you do you're like dude this guy is so old and he ran how many kilometers in the game you're like that's okay you're saying he's not doping the okay whatever
Starting point is 00:14:51 that's just what people want to say that's what they want you to believe because they hate russia because they are superior uh according to putin yeah but what better way to uh protest an authoritarian regime than to bully some students around. Yeah. Yeah. Well done. Uh, let's take a quick break.

Starting point is 00:17:19 I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch.
Starting point is 00:17:50 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.
Starting point is 00:18:05 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. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
Starting point is 00:18:47 One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. And we're back and the the word clever is trending uh was the number two trending thing on google trends this morning um because there's a pc mag article uh that say they have a clever
Starting point is 00:19:37 trick for cutting down on social media time uh and the answer is just to delete the app fuck you use it only on a browser which is something that i actually will try um oh yeah who we've had a few guests say that how they said if i'm gonna use twitter it's not gonna be on my phone i'm going to make the conscious decision to navigate to the website to do it yeah which i think can help yeah and yeah just at least you have to do some navigation or whatever i just like who's who wrote that article someone's like fucking like you know silent generation grandparent who's like the clever thing you do is you chop it off well i was like trying to figure it out i was like wait what is happening here and maybe it's like a google chrome like placement maybe maybe like they want people to rely more on browsers because they can then like
Starting point is 00:20:33 collect even more information about us i think they're verging on the point of they could actually just recreate us in a lab at this point google has so much information about us but yeah i that was my only or it's just a fuck up and they somehow people people got excited about that i wonder if like maybe it's got a lot of pickup because people are like this isn't clever oh yeah you know and like that's why they're like they're just getting roasted we're like really yeah this clever trick will fend like will keep everyone safe from car accidents never get in the car that doctors are furious about this trick that they just uh revealed doctors are furious doctors are furious about this trick uh that actually helps you um save time on Twitter for some reason. Doctors are furious with this woman.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Because doctors are like, hey, you know what? I always recommend more Twitter. That is funny. The fact that that is a headline, that doctors are mad that this woman figured out something that's good for her health is such a great insight into like how people think of doctors in America that like can't trust them they're just trying to fuck you with these
Starting point is 00:21:53 dang vaccines uh Sixers are trending good for you while the Lakers get fucking booed fucking crypto dotcom arena. Yeah. I saw some of my Lakers fan friends not happy.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Not feeling good about where the season is. I think, look, I want to talk about the Sixers because that's a good thing and I'm happy for you. Like I said, once I saw it not being the thing it was within the first couple games I was like no no this is what happens every time just brace yourself for a terrible crash um and that's been fun been been watching a lot of other teams which is kind of the nice thing about the NBA it's not just your home team yeah man I love watching the Grizzlies they're that's the most I've enjoyed watching a team that I have no rooting interest for in a long time. So the Sixers
Starting point is 00:22:47 debuted with James Harden in the lineup on Friday and they looked good. They played Minnesota and New York. Minnesota is pretty good this year. New York is pretty bad
Starting point is 00:23:04 and they just look like they're better Minnesota's pretty good this year. New York is pretty bad. And they just look like they're better at closing. They've always had a problem at the end of games because it's harder to... When you don't have a ball handler who's your primary shot creator, it's
Starting point is 00:23:20 harder to get what you want and it's easier to shut people down towards the end of games but um less so with james harden and i love james harden and he's my favorite i mean 29 what 16 and 10 10 10 was 29 10 rebounds 16 assists and just feeding joel just feeding them and feed them feed and feed just feeding you and feeding you that's what he was I mean really uh that's what it felt like I'll fucking I'll fucking put on this uh Sixers uniform and start diamond feeding you because well he had 37 points also shout out Joel Embiid uh you know legendary Arsenal fan so shout out to you man, Daryl Morey, fuck.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Yeah, he's looking smart. It's two games in. We'll see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I just like what I... I'm just, you know, more just to see, like, yeah, I like what you're doing over there. One thing you can prepare to listen to a lot of is complaints. Because they are, I think, one and two are both in the top three of fouls drawn in a game, which is a skill.
Starting point is 00:24:27 And it's like how to get the highest percentage shots in basketball, which is a free throw. So they're both really good at that. Their games are now like six hours long because Embiid set his career record for number of fouls drawn. A lot of free throws, too. Well, yeah. So that's what extends the game So a lot of free throws too. Well, yeah, yeah. So that's what, that's what extends the game.
Starting point is 00:24:47 A lot of free throws, a lot of, a lot of trips to the line, which is also good for Embiid because he is seven foot two and, you know, an enormous man who needs a rest. So that's very helpful. And then the Batman reviews are starting to come in,
Starting point is 00:25:04 seem pretty positive this is a movie i'm rooting for because pretty positive someone said i saw multiple people like it's the best like this that hasn't been this good since like dark knight damn i mean if you like dark night i guess no yeah the i mean it's always tough i always try and like look at metacritic to get a sampling and metacritic is like 73 but yeah the people who like it seem to really like it and there aren't that many people who are like this sucks right mick lasalle from the san francisco chronicle seems to be the only person who gave it a negative review out of what were their words 40 something uh just pretty bland from start to finish the batman is mostly just a collection of bad ideas
Starting point is 00:25:47 okay okay thanks give it a solid b though oh but so many so much of like my opinion on movies is like ah actually i do like that movie i just like was tired to that day or something like that so right i don't know um yeah i mean i'm i i just like weren't you the one saying how they told him to not do like scratchy voice oh did they i don't know all right no maybe i was talking about somebody else apparently they he was like multiple times they're like nah you don't need to do that you don't need to do that now you're good we we sampled your scratchy voice nah we're good man we're good just like the last two actors to do it i feel like it's distracting they have permanent
Starting point is 00:26:34 vocal cord damage from playing batman uh and it got more and more over the top um a weird thing with uh just that this made me think of in terms of uh british actors vocalizing last week watched clifford the big red dog the movie yeah yeah jack whitehall is that his name the um comedian comedian like that show with his dad on netflix yeah yeah so he is the main fun uncle to emily elizabeth so emily elizabeth's mom is british then he enters later and you're like oh so he's gonna be british because he's british and he's not british oh and he can't pull off an american accent really and like it's it's really weird i think they might have like just tested it and everyone was like i like kids were like that guy scares me with his british accent and they had to like go back and change it or something because it's the weirdest choice
Starting point is 00:27:37 and it like they have to explain it whereas like fortunately i moved here when i was two and therefore have an american accent uh but i can still talk like you bloody Brits and like does a fake. It's so strange. I want, I like, I want to know the story behind like how they came to the decision to have him do an accent. He was not prepared to do.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yeah. I just love a wonky ham fisted, like, okay, we're going to build in the excuse for this poor performance into the script yeah like that'd be like in that one superman movie where or that one movie when henry cavill still had his mustache so they did cgi it out and his character's like the thing is on krypton there's this new trend where you try and grow your skin out to look like a mustache but instead of
Starting point is 00:28:20 hair your your upper lip just gets all bumpy anyway what oh somebody's robbing the bank gotta go yeah the fact that they address it although they kind of had to because the mom was british so i was very very i guess it is a kid's film too i'm like this is not cinema yeah it's it's just very clunky uh but a great film. Right. You know, 10 out of 10. All right. Well, those are things that are trending on this Monday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Bye. member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.
