Off the street. That bacon wrapped. Bacon wrapped. Salted jalapeno and onions. Yeah. Mayonnaise, too. Gotta have mayonnaise. I don't.

I don't. I really have a hard time with mayonnaise i say bring it all i said they look at me i'm like they're like oh shit they're, you're having a bad day. I'm like, just give me the fucking bottle. Wait, mayonnaise goes on the dog before they grill it? No, no, no. It's a topping. It's ketchup, mustard, mayo.

Yeah, they got it all. It's wild how I, as a native Angeleno, leaving any function in downtown LA, it's like when people say i always have room for dessert i'm like i will always have room for like a danger dog like i don't give a shit if i just i will literally ask strangers for cash to buy a dog straight up yeah yeah you're drunk you're leaving the club stumbling out of the club my case getting rolled out the club always my just like it's i feel like one of those like old like looney tunes commercials where i'm being like lifted by my nose by the scent the

smell the waft of it is carrying you to home and salvation yeah i just had one the other day when i went to an lafc game because i was like they're here fuck it yeah i miss the dirty dog i miss the street dog you gotta be outside yeah it's a hot dog is it dirty dog. I miss the street dog. You gotta be outside. Yeah, it's a hot dog. Is it a dog in the middle? Or it always looks so plump because of the bacon wrapping, I guess. I'm like, have you never had one? I know, Jack.

Hold on, man. We'll have to pull your LA card real quick. It looks kielbasa-sized. Like, it's massive. Oh, because it's a thicker frame versus... Because it's a thicker frame, I think, based on the wrapping. It ain't no Oscar Mayer. You're really observant about the thickness of things yeah we're just talking about mb being a

thick boy yeah yeah but the way you said it you're like he's it he is well because all right so there's a video going viral like there was a video going viral where he was like part of the circle lifting up a groom at a wedding and then a a follow-up video, the one that probably, I guess the previous video was like a teaser. The main event was a video of him being lifted with, I think people were speculating it was the bride or one of the... Based on the dress? Yeah, but it was clearly not the bride.

It was the mother of the bride we we think on and beads a lap as he is being he is being lifted and i was just commenting thick boy he's a very thick boy thick boy happy boy watching a lot of 76ers basketball i have seen many people get hurt just running into him i've seen him get hurt when when the full weight of his body is moving in one direction and his face hits something. That will usually break his face. And then we, of course, have his toes. He's got shack toes, which there's a reason that big men like that have those toes. It's because when you jump stop and you weigh over 315 pounds it does it

does bad things to the front of your feet yeah wait what's up with his toes oh just imagine like it's hard for me to imagine because i don't have toes do you know what i mean so i'm like it's been a long time since i've lived that foot life he's throwing up gang signs with with the oh no they're they're fucked up like yeah like they they look structurally like like jack is saying like you weigh 300 pounds and you're constantly like they're they're they're bearing the brunt oh my god at this point they're just for show yeah they're just for balance that's it they don't do much else can't even put my toe rings on anymore for someone with like the greatest footwork in in the league for for like a seven foot one dude like his his feet are a true mess wow not nothing like shack though

shacks shacks got the now i'm gonna google shack's toes dying to know what they look like is shack on wiki feet because you know all the girls in LA are on WikiFeet. I can't imagine. What if he had a high score on WikiFeet? Oh no, we got to see is Shaq on WikiFeet. All right. I am just going to, we're going to take a moment here.

I'm going to put in the chat the side-by-side of Embiid and Shaq's toes. And they're, you know, Embiid's actually don't look as bad. Oh, okay. Is Shaq on the bad oh okay is shack on the right shack is on the right oh his don't look as bad as shack shack's look i mean some real croag magnum shit's happening over there yeah yeah yeah for sure i mean he's got the fried flintstones yeah he's got toes curled under toes curled under toes his pinky toe both of their pinky toes it's

like they retract in a way where the pinky toe goes back into the foot. Right, like Wolverine's claw. So they've pushed over. They've pushed over. If you count the pinky toes where the rest of our second to last toe is, and then there's just like an empty spot on the foot because of just the amount of the toes being. Yeah.

They just basically walk around with broken feet all the time. And people are like, you're a baby. You walk like that. They're like, motherfucker, my feet can't even handle this shit. You hear Stephen A.

Smith is taking a month off for shoulder surgery. This fool who is constantly ripping on people for not wanting it enough, he's taking a month off from his job of yelling nonsense for shoulder surgery. Wait, is he a podcast host too? He's basically a podcast host. Except with a TV show

and not much more money. So, like a podcast. And his shoulder hurts from adjusting the mic right exactly apparently all right well danielle we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about we're gonna talk about the uh mudslinging already starting early for the 2024 election with rumors that biden's on drugs no trump is on drugs i mean, Trump is on drugs. I mean, Trump is definitely on drugs,

but that is one of the things being mentioned as we head down a dark path towards a rematch of Biden versus Trump that hopefully will not happen. We're going to talk about Herschel Walker. We're going to talk about Instagram and TikTok's beneficial uh just all the benefits that they have they relay on your mental health all of that plenty more but first danielle we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history okay something from my search history um this week i googled can you snort antiviral medication crush it up do a couple lines well not crush it up because it's in the capsule so you would just like break it open so it's already powdered so i just wanted to know if that was bad when they're in the capsule

they're basically asking you to do that 100 oh yeah it is is i have done in my you know where are we going with this my darker days uh i have opened up a capsule snorted and had and just like been unable to use my nose for a good like 48 hours just sneezing having like water pouring out of my eyes as bad. It's not not every drug is created equal when it comes to that. And also it's bad and you shouldn't do it. But I remember I got in trouble in fifth grade for snorting a pixie stick on Halloween. Yeah, that's amazing. I think that's so funny.

This is drug. This is a gateway drug. These pixie stick snorting behavior i don't know where on what tv we were watching where we knew like we took a broken ruler and we're chopping up lines of pixie sticks i remember me and my other homie dj and the teacher's like what the fuck are you guys doing we're like. You guys had just seen Scarface. And you're like. Right. Exactly.

Bringing a stuffed tiger with you to school. Right. Exactly. I got a headband on. I'm like. Anyway. So. Is there a drug that's recommended usage is to be snorted?

I feel like no. Right. Oh, no. There's the fentanyl nasal spray. Straight up. Oh, right. Yeah. That's like like i literally just finished watching the like hbo documentary about like the opioid crisis and stuff yeah yeah and

in the second episode they talk about like oh narcan right or no not narcan is the thing that like brings you back taken nasally like but, they basically, like this drug company, created this fentanyl nose spray. They wanted to make money off of it, and it was only approved for cancer patients. So they went really hard and did a bunch of illegal shit and basically bribed doctors to prescribe it for just whatever. Wow. To get people on fentanyl. I can't imagine there are any dosing issues with something like that yeah people also get addicted to pseudofed i mean okay yeah i mean i know people

who got that like that nafran or whatever the fuck that one nasal decongesting spray was or people fully people who neti pot stay netting potting and it's like you can't tell me that's making it better i feel like you're making it worse once you start netting potting you don't stop feels like an addiction that's true netting potting does seem like like it seems like we got netting potter at a certain point in the chat becca ramos's team netting pot i feel like the people i know who went to netting pot were the ones who were like hooked on afrin or whatever the over-the-counter shit was and they said no i gotta get i gotta get right on some other shit but right anyway but there's no going back once you break that seal you're kind of in you're in for life i think maybe and i'm also maybe just blessed to know i don't i know nothing of a world where like my

sinuses are constantly bothering me right yeah i'm like that's not a real thing hashtag blessed right hashtag be blessed hashtag be blessed cannot be stressed what is something you think is underrated okay right now i think okay jeremy allen white and the bear i am seeing love but i'm not seeing enough love he is so fine in that show he is such a scumbag looking grimy dirty chef boy i want him so bad i just want to say yes chef to him all night long we chef we chef was he he was in a shameless right yeah he was in now i want to watch shameless i've only seen like a few episodes of it got you so now he's got me wanting to straight up watch a whole how many seasons was that seven eight nine it was on for like 10 years so yeah plenty i think at least i think there's

we're in the double digits for shameless what is so what's your like so what is it about him is that kind of like your dating vibe like you kind of like a scum lord it's a very yeah scum goblin um yeah like it really reminds me of like because i went to san francisco state for college and it definitely reminds me of being in san francisco and fucking around with like these dirty you know back of the house boys yeah dudes live in a co-op in berkeley and shit oh my god just like my friend dated chefs like i always was like hanging out in like the back of kitchens and also the kitchen oh so it's the culinary vibe specifically the culinary vibe it's like these dudes are obsessed with fine dining but they eat like shit and everyone's doing coke and you know do you have sheets no

i got this apron you're gonna like talk to me about like the vintage of this wine the priorities are fucked all right let's see if you can work snorting into your overrated as well because you're two for two so far we got the the snorting, the antivirals. We got the Coke with the with the back of the house boys. What is something you think is overrated? What's overrated? You know what's overrated? Doing drugs. Yes.

Doing drugs is overrated. I just hate hangovers now literally the thing that keeps me from doing drugs is like i don't want to be hungover tomorrow yeah what kind of drugs you doing what does that mean wait more than drinking like a drinking hangover like then like you know i won't say what's up like maybe things that are uh you know fucking up your serotonin levels and shit and then the next day you're like yeah no well because all of them mess up you know fuck your serotonin you know yeah they're all they're all you know messing with the chemicals in your brain hey that's why you know it's just a little bit of psilocybin

goes a long way but you know that's another okay i get i get the thing with the hangovers because my body cannot process alcohol the same way it does. No, it's crazy. Like, and I, it's weird. Like, I have a thing where for me to even get to the point where I'm, like, feeling buzzed. Like, it typically, like, I realize, like, three drinks too late that I'm like, oh, you've had enough to drink. You're good. You're done. Yeah.

remember like the days when I would like sleep four hours stink like a broken handle of vodka and then roll into my like Dodge car dealership job like with sunglasses on and managed to work like 10 hours like it was nothing 100% yeah working retail literally I my god I worked Black Friday at Banana Republic the day after Thanksgiving right i woke up so i i think i was still i'm sure it was still drunk from the night before i showed up like three hours late my boss was so mad but like couldn't do anything about it because the store was packed with people like it was just like you just do something like pick up clothes and help right and all day like at work like every now and then i'd get like a whiff of vomit and i was like where is that coming from when i got home it was like on a specific part of my top you know it wasn't like prominent but it was there and present where it was like,

not all the time, but every so often I'd get just the right, you know, distance from it. So yeah, I used to be able to do that. Be fine. Not now. Yeah.

Like I can't even watch the rock hung over on TNT. Like I used to, like, I can't even, that doesn't even work for me anymore. Yeah. I haven't watched enough. I like,

I haven't drank in seven years and I are coming up on seven years and i congratulations thank you but prior to that first of all my intake of tnt and just like also television commercials with like has gone way plummeted way down because like now i'm never relationship you're like no characters welcome i'm never so hungover that i can't just press the fast forward button you know but prior prior to that i i felt i feel like i know what terminal illness feels like some of the hangovers that i've that i've you know gone through yeah just the worst. The worst feeling. Yeah like being so hung over. That you can't even enjoy an episode of Law and Order SVU.

That's bad. You're in a dark place. Like where you're anticipating the clunk clunk sound. And it hurts you physically. Yeah like it's going to make me sick when I hear it this time. Clunk clunk. Oh no not that. Yeah.

I think that's right. Drugs are great. Good one. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be back and we'll talk about drugs because that's become an area of focus, among other things, with the two candidates we might be facing.

Biden is on drugs, maybe. Not the right kind, apparently. Not the right kind. Not the uppers. That's for sure. Trump is definitely on drugs, but they seem to be, I don't know, working for him. So we'll take a break. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.

It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120.

She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything?

You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and so we know now trump's running like even though it might not be facebook official yeah but we we we've known since like the january 6th basically that was the campaign launch yeah exactly we knew since the fucking fucking november when he when he lost the election like well he's got to run it back because the whole point he was in office was to protect himself

from like criminal liability and i just wanted that rolling stone points out before we get into the drug talk is that how much Trump's been talking about. Man, he's got to get back into office because he says Trump has, quote, spoken about how when you are the president of the United States, it is tough for politically motivated prosecutors to, quote, get you, says one of the sources who is who has discussed the issue with Trump this summer. That's the issue with Trump this summer. Quote, he says when he is president, not if, again, a new Republican administration will put a stop to the Justice Department investigation that he views as the Biden administration working to hit him with criminal charges or even put him and his people in prison. So good motivation, you know? Yeah, well, when you're a celebrity, they just let you get away with it.

They just let you do it. And do whatever you want. Grab the president. That's why he's probably confused. He's like, but you're a celebrity, they just let you get away with it. They just let you do it. And do whatever you want. Grab the present. That's why he's probably confused. He's like, but I'm a celebrity. But just don't look away at all the bullshit that went down the last couple months. This doesn't make sense to me, though, because I do feel like, I don't know, I guess nobody's ever going to forgive him and they'll be like chasing his ass till he's dead. like chasing his ass till he's dead but like also nobody he like when he's in office everybody's just looking for every excuse to take his ass down so it feels like a trade-off that he's maybe not doing the full math on when it comes to how much people fucking hate him and want him out of office it feels like he straight up like

doesn't enjoy work and it feels like this is so much work so i guess like that's what i'm confused that he's running again you know i mean i understand like having power but this seems like way too much work than he's ever wanted to do in his entire life right and who knows it may be like a end up like a Greek tragedy where he physically didn't have it in him to go on another campaign to keep him out of jail and then it ends up being

not a good situation. He just melts. Yeah. Right. He just caresses himself. He also might have some notes on his first presidency about how he would have done things differently when it comes to like seizing power and just going full like taking taking over the fbi cia all of that i mean making it work for him and so wait i think the way he sees it is

he becomes president he fucking curb stomps the doj into nothing and then it's like how are you gonna what court is gonna do anything I destroyed them all so good luck with that homie and I think that's his logic he's like if I'm there at least I can I feel like I'm at the top of this like tree and I can just like point fingers and make things happen

which he to an extent was doing that so anyway it's it's his potential get out of free while also throwing your enemies in jail for free card that I anyway it's it's his but it's his potential get out of free while also throwing your enemies in jail for free card that i think he's after and you know as like he gears up for the presidency we talk about all the time like what's going on with desantis what's happening with like the right wing punditry machine there are people like maria bartiromo who are going they're going hard for trump still you you know, like she's not,

she's not faltering at all. She's riding with Trump and she's doing a great job, like saying that Trump is doing a great job while also doing her best job for Trump to like drag Biden's name through the mud. And I just want to play this clip where she had a Dr. Ronnie, remember the guy who was, what was it? Like, he's like the and the ambien angel what was his nickname he was like dr feelgood right dr feelgood right and the obama and trump white house but i think he gave people adderall and and ambien though those were like his two things yeah it's like long flight wait he prescribed them to like government officials he was handing them out like hey man you need one you good on air force one oh he had a pill concierge yeah i mean if you're

gonna have a private plane like of course i have a pill concierge like if you can't afford that my white house physician damn sure wouldn't be a medical doctor it'll be like some scummy homie i know from the valley it's the dude that shows up at eric andre's birthday parties and just pictures everyone's good right and i'm like they're like what's he why does he always have that crown royal bag with him i'm like yo he got it all in there i'm just telling you that's the magic bag anything you want anything man shit you didn't even know you needed okay so let me play this clip where mariairomo is asking Dr. Annie Jackson, who's actually also a congressman at this point, what his take is with Biden. What's going on with him? Well, I mean, Congressman, there were signs that Joe Biden was declining during the 2020 campaign.

I mean, let's face it. He stayed in the basement the whole time during during the campaign. So who knew what when are they hiding this and and feeding him drugs to to to allow him to function i know he goes home to delaware a lot more than any other president so i guess my question is what did obama know what did jill biden know and who's running the white house right now and are they covering up for these mental uh issues so that's what she spent her time on she did a bonus obama is still running the government just for good measure but again i think it really underscores like the projection that's happening

between both sides you're like man your mother your candidate's fucking old they're like no your motherfucking candidate's old so man you're both fucking old she calls them basement baby that's like what you know gossip columns used to call solange before she found her own identity just they said biden just stayed up in the basement right except he's done displaying half the talent solange did when she emerged on her own. But it is like just a it's a wild thing that just continues. Because meanwhile, Joe Rogan on his podcast, he had Tom Segura on and he's like, Trump's a man, baby, blah, blah, blah. This guy like he's past it or whatever.

And then Tom Segura is like, well, you know, like he does like Adderall all the time. And he didn't like Joe Rogan's like, no, he's like, oh yeah, dude. He's like, they,

they say he's jacked on Adderall like all the time. It's like, I know some people worked on the apprentice. They say like, it helps him read. That's why he does it. Cause he's really bad with prompter. So he gets on the Adderall and he can dial it in.

And they're like, no fucking way. So meanwhile, you have that going on in the Joe Rogan sphere where they're going like, yeah, this dude is just he's smacked on Adderall all the time. It's nonstop at the moment. They're referring to a video where Trump is giving a speech and a small white chunk of something comes rocketing out of his nostril. And they're see that's that's definitely a chunk of a crush a batter on like it honestly could be anything yeah but the thing the detail that makes me think there's something to it is that he makes he tracks it with his eye as it is falling to the ground as he's giving the speech like he's like watching the

thing shoot out of his nose like so he's like aware of it right and also like keyed up enough to like track a thing that just shot out with like laser eyes like yeah yeah i should have gone blue i must watch and it's not a booger you don't think i mean it's not a booger, you don't think? I mean, it could be a booger. It's just like he seems very laser focused on it. I think the crushed up booger, like that's not just shooting out. That's like dangling and like causing like a... You didn't chop it up enough. It would be some real dry boogery.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Because I mean, I think the most compelling information is like those past accounts of him, like about how he doesn't drink, but they're like, but he liked those greenies the doctor would give him. Yeah, yeah. No one behaves like he behaves and is not on some substance. And it makes sense because like the Adderall and methamphetamine are fascist drugs.

Like they were invented by the Nazis and were like fueling the nazis the whole time that they were rising up and it it all tracks the nazis were in mass oh yeah yeah this makes so much sense okay of course and like bugged out other fascists with his like tweaker talk there's like an account of him. Talking Mussolini's ear off. For hours. And he's like. He's like. Oh my god. Dude what?

I'm vibing with this. But not this many hours straight. Mussolini is the Fiona Apple. And like. Where you know. It's like Paul Thomas Anderson. And Quentin Tarantino or Hitler. And she's just like. I can't do this shit anymore.

I got to cut this shit out. Fuck it. I'm a socialist, man. I figured it out. I can't be around these people. I mean, I need to get my life right. At least the socialists are smoking more weed or some shit. Damn.

Sorry. Just the other detail that a lot of people don't realize is that one of the big reasons the D-Day invasion succeeded is because Hitler was asleep until noon. And everyone was like, oh, don't wake him up before. He just likes to wake up on his own. So they refused to wake him up as the fucking invasion was happening. And he slept until the late morning, early afternoon. Why is the Fuhrer up so late? We must tell the Fuhrer what's happening.

He's like, you want to wake him up? You want your own rest? What was he doing last night? Taking apart another motherfucking record player for fucking eight hours straight? And we're looking at old fucking uh nickelodeon pornographic stop motion videos so this is all happening under the with the against the backdrop of watching like other sort of right-wing pundits kind of take sides now some like fox news is definitely they're in for trump like most of their main people they're not questioning anything while others

are being a little more cryptic about like who they like. They're like, yeah, you know, like Trump could be interesting. There also seem to be other people, you know, and like for those, like there's definitely like the people like the Mike Cernovich's, who I'm not going to say is the mainstream, but you know, clearly interacts with the mainstream. Like he's like, Trump's not fascist enough. And those people seem to like ron desantis more because they think he has more longevity or something like that but what's interesting is whenever they bring up like trump and ron desantis it's like people talking about like michael jordan and kobe where they're like yeah yeah mj the goat yeah for sure but you know kobe's in the

conversation too like they're like ron desantis no one is getting no one's tearing down ron desantis everyone says yeah i like trump but they all say ron desantis you gotta he's got stuff too he's got the goods too so it's interesting how the the desantis stuff gets louder and in florida uh desantis is up 22 points over trump in a hypothetical head-to-head so people of florida seem to be liking desantis more but we'll see how the rest of the party falls in line i mean i the best case scenario is they both run in in the primary i do think though trump is going to destroy him in in the primary even you think trump would destroy him yeah i think so i mean desantis doesn't have like the same gift of gap. Yeah. And the base loves that. That's the thing.

Like Trump is a showman. It's real. It's a fucked up show. It's it's a dark carnival. Yeah. I mean, the best case scenario, though, is Trump is like falling apart the whole time because he's having his Hitler on D-Day morning invasion moment where he's like, you know, can't do it anymore

because he's just been railing Adderall for too long. Have you guys seen the other two? I've only seen the first season. Oh, you have to watch the second season. It's so, so, so good. I know. It's so, so, so good. I know.

There's an epic meltdown. And I wish Trump had that. I wish that would just happen to him. Just truly fall apart at the seams. Right, right, right. Well, we'll see. We'll see. I mean, like you said, he's like, life begins at 80.

And I'm like, my man, it does not. like you said he's like life begins at 80 and i'm like my man it does not but if you think it does cross country in a pandemic where your base clearly doesn't give a fuck about it by all means man roll the fucking dice but yeah that's it's all we can do is sit back and watch um what's the latest with herschel walker he's he's just still kind of stringing it stringing it along i'm gonna play something for you okay so the former heisman winner herschel walker running for senate in georgia against rafael warnock it's a close race they say like you know warnock has like a lead but it's within the margin of error so for all intents and purposes they're tied his campaign herschel walkers has been a non-stop tour day what the fuck is this dude talking about

and he has regaled countless audiences and journalists with like non-stop fabrications and i just just before i get into the latest one i just want to underline a few the first he said he owned like multiple chicken businesses like processing facilities like uh like you know like he's in that poultry business oh that's very specific and it's like the largest minority owned chicken business also the largest minority owned uh apparel company that's he also owns that business he's been running that business but people are like yo they did a little like a cursory search they're like sir you have nothing to do like what do you mean and he said he said oh i didn't mean it like that when i said owned

i own these businesses i didn't mean it like that. When I said owned, I own these businesses. I didn't mean it like in a technical sense. And people were like, oh, okay. Oh, the other definition of ownership. The one where you don't actually own the property. Were you dominated in a Call of Duty death match? Pwned. He meant he pwned.

Pwned it. I'm not sure. Then he also said he graduated. Minority pwned. Yeah. Minority pwned business. Then he said he owned our, then he said he graduated from the university of Georgia where he was

drafted into the league from. He didn't. And then when they press and they're like, you didn't graduate from there. He's like, I never said I graduated from there. They're like, this is a tape of you saying you graduated from there.

And he's like, just like you. Alternative facts. Right. He's like, this is a tape of you saying you graduated from there. And he's like, just like you fizzled out. Alternative facts. Right. He's like he's had a few children come out of the woodwork that the campaign was blindsided by. They're like, do you have other kids out of wedlock we don't know about? And apparently he's been lying so much to even his own campaign.

They don't know what to do with anything he says anymore. This is it from someone within his campaign. Quote, he's lied so much that we don't know what to do with anything he says anymore. This is from someone within his campaign. Quote, he's lied so much that we don't know what's true. We have zero trust in the candidate. And three people for this Daily Beast article, they independently interviewed for this story, called him a pathological liar. So I just want to bring this. Sounds like he's a great candidate then.

Sounds like he's primo-senatorial. Like all of this. Pathological liar, narcissist, yeah. Okay, fantastic. Welcome, sir. Sounds like he's a great candidate then. Sounds like he's primo-senatorial. Pathological liar, narcissist. Okay, fantastic. Welcome, sir. This feels like the combine in the NBA or something where somebody's doing amazing sprints or something. This is just great

politician-ing where you're just telling clear lies and just doing it with a straight face. It's like, oh, this person's got they're like they might be a really good a really promising politician the way he absolutely didn't flinch or give a fuck in the face of contradictory evidence unbelievable this guy's going number one in the draft i just want to play you this latest one someone dug up a clip of him from 2019 where he, he says, I guess basically he was a killer FBI agent, but then Jesus saved it. I don't hear, just listen to this.

I've worked for the poor law enforcement. I didn't know that either. Did you? I spent time at Quantico at the FBI training schools. Y'all didn't know I was an agent. I should probably shouldn't tell y'all that. Y'all don't care. But anyway, I've been in law enforcement. So I grabbed my gun. I said, I will kill him. Herschel Walker don't care. But anyway, I've been in law enforcement. So I grabbed my gun. I said, I will kill him. Herschel Walker, one of the high-level troopers. I'm going to kill him. I got in with David, one of my many.

I took off on 183. And I still remember the voice of Herschel. People have been disrespecting you all the time. People are always doing stuff to you. You've never done nothing to nobody. And all of a sudden, this other voice of Herschel, your parents, and raised you like this. Yes, they did. No, they didn't. Yes, they did. I thought I was losing my mind.

As I got closer and closer to where I was going to meet this guy, I started to pray. I said, Lord, I need some help right now. I said, I need you to help me. I said, I'm about to do something stupid right now. I need you to help me right now. I remember getting to this where I was going to meet him at. I got out of my car and I put my hand on my gun as I walk into this truck. Before I could see the guy, I saw the sign on the back of his truck that said, honk if you love Jesus. And that's what calmed me down. All right. That was a nice story, right? All right. You know what? He has Uncle Baby Billy vibes. So much big Uncle Baby Billy vibes. So much. Big Uncle Baby Billy.

I mean, none of this happened. Okay? He has nothing to do with the FBI. Honestly, riveting though. I was in it. I was in it to the end and he signed it up in a bow. This man is a talented politician. That is what I have learned here today.

He is going to be a president. A president of something. We don today he is going to be a president a president of something yeah we don't know what but a president largest minority owned nation uh he'll be the president of oh my god his video where he's talking about the bad air and the good air that we keep making good air we're getting china's bad trying to be sending their bad air or what do you say about how j Jesus had like multiple personalities or something and was like killing people? He has so many wild things, he says. So, but Jack, to your point, I'm like, yo, I haven't heard someone talk shit like this.

It's like my grandpa and his friends, like that old black man swag where they go, you didn't know I was in the FBI, did you? See, I didn't tell you about that. Just dropping facts. That is some old head shit talking like i bet you didn't know this live what i'm about to say you all night let me let me put you on something so i had my hand on my pistol and i say lord don't make me take this coke dealer's life and then he had a crucifix dangling from his rearview mirror so i said thank you j I'm going to just buy this eight ball with cash rather than robbing him. Like, what is going on with him?

I don't know what is happening. And I like that he somehow hit like the trifecta of like mentioning he's a Heisman winner, that he's law enforcement. And also that he calls on Christ whenever he is in the mood to take a life. That's bingo, babe. He's compelling to watch. He's nailing it. So, yeah, I mean, the polls are, you know, they show Warnock leading, but my God. This explains all the Warnock campaign messaging and donation requests I've been receiving.

I'm like, what is going on? I thought we were good, Georgia. I thought we were okay. I mean, people are definitely not all on board, but yeah, it's enough to make you sweat. Where people are like, what? I don't care that. I like the idea of a senator also being working with the fbi i really want a little more context like why did he want to kill this dude

he was going to kill someone because he was trained and he was in quantico he didn't tell you that but anyways he probably shouldn't be probably i was in quantico it was me priyanka chopra uh you know that the mother motherfuckers. I mean, Priyanka Chopra Jonas now. But yeah, we was all at Quantico. And like, that's a TV show, sir. Oh. But yeah, I was there.

I was confused for a second. I forgot about the show. Oh, yeah. And that's on me. Sorry. That's a deep cut for all my Quantico fans out there. All the Quantico heads out there. They know that was for them.

For the real Q heads out there. You feel me? All right. Let's 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, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

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 boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way

we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been

so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all

things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.

It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120.

She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything?

You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing they're just dreams dream sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever and we're back and we every once in a while we like to check into the research that's being done on what social media does for us and to us to us i'd say it's working for you if you can if you can make it that's what i always say about social media it's working for you to take away your free will but uh what's this latest study

well i mean i think a lot of the main stream view or the view that we get a lot through like just sort of headlines is like the the toxic beauty standards and unrealistic like appearance sort of like norms that are normalized i love it i follow so many plastic surgeons on tiktok it's just like staying just like yes make these bitches look like aliens it does look like its own ethnicity which is wild straight up they're creating a brand new race on tiktok yeah no matter what your actual ethnicity is like i can tell you from planet plastic but you know and we've seen this time and again the effect it has on young kids especially young girls and and just young people in general that get bombarded with all this shit and you know i

think we all we all see that things like Instagram or TikTok, they can all be funhouse mirrors or people just merely showing you this very manicured version of the reality they want to present to others without it necessarily being the most authentic. Well, there's a new study that is also showing that aside from making you feel like shit about how you look, social media is making half of millennials and Gen Z feel like shit about their financial situation. These are just some of the top line findings from the survey that was done. It said nearly half of Gen Z, 47 percent, and millennials, 46 percent, social media users feel negatively about their finances after seeing others post more than any other generation. More than six, three and five of parents whose children are under 18 and are on social media say it has contributed to their kids having an unrealistic expectation about money. Nearly half of social media users have made an impulse purchase of a product they

saw on social media and more than three fifths regret it because they also tie the impulse buying to like sort of the lifestyle shit they're they're seeing and then being like, oh, maybe if I buy this, it gets me one closer to this thing. And then they also said nearly half of or 46% of Gen Z and more than a third or 38% of millennials make social media posts intentionally to appear successful in the eyes of others. Yeah. Well, why wouldn't you post on social media if you weren't trying to appear successful? Because number one. Hello, you don't you post on social media if you weren't trying to appear successful? Because the number one. Hello. You don't know how to use it. That's the whole point.

It's trying to be real and bum people out. No, absolutely not. But this is kind of like the thing, right? Like I definitely went through this 10 years ago. Like I switched careers. I was trying to get into comedy. I'm like a millennial with like living at home with my mom and I'm looking on Instagram and like I see kids my age or people my own I say kids like I was in my mid-20s but like like young adults my age they got jobs they got like new cars they live in a nice apartment and I'm like what the fuck am I doing wrong like also though real talk the people that are like we live in a house and it's huge and has three bedrooms and two baths and we have all this land.

It's like, but you don't live in L.A. Right. That's a whole lot. You don't live in L.A. and you don't live in New York. So what? That mortgage is four hundred dollars a month. Yeah, but I think like it just does this thing, right? Like this is through, you know, therapy and like a lot of self-reflection right is like that comparative way of living and like trying to you know value or adjudicate your worth is so fucking violent and it's such an act of like aggression against yourself because you're not the the thing that like i feel like everybody has to take that first step to realize where

everybody's fucking different everybody is different even though there's a ton of people and people may look different and like have the same interest. We all have different circumstances. We all move through life in different ways. And we all end up, we may end up in the same place, but we take vastly different paths there. And then to completely negate what your experience is in service of being like, well, this person's path worked like that. And it was very linear. Why isn't mine? And using that to beat yourself up is fucked up. And I used to do that shit all the time.

So I look at this and I'm like, I can 100% see how even more, especially as we get older and the evidence of like the financial distress that our generations are under become clear that this becomes like this new thing, too. It's not just how you look. It's like, oh, yeah yeah you fucking broke too we're all in an echo chamber between social media impulse buys and then like mainstream media articles telling us that the impulse buys are the reason that our generation doesn't have shit but why aren't millennials buying diamonds it's like oh they're buying too much avocado toast did you know that millennials killed the chain restaurant it's like which is it are we broke as fuck or are we just trying to survive or are we just spending money on dumb shit and it's also like the form of capitalism that we're in at this point is um you know the

reason like the there are massive companies that are buying all the houses up and like it's impossible for individuals to like really going forward. It's going to be almost impossible for people to like own a family home. Straight up. My sister right now is like, you know, she lives in L.A. and she's worked really hard and my my family is helping her. But she's like trying to buy a house and literally anything that is even remotely affordable for her you know is like immediately scooped up by a flipper and it's like these are not extravagant you know what i mean talking about two bedroom one bath like a small very like a fixer-upper anything that is remotely like reasonable for like a young person who just wants to start off like immediately just like swooped up by the company that's going to flip it and just charge crazy amounts of money.

Right. It's like I have cash and I'll pay 20 percent over. Yeah. People are paying crazy money for shit. Yeah. Yeah. happening where people spend money lie about what their lifestyle is to fund an unsustainable lifestyle that they're hoping then becomes sustainable by like them becoming an influencer and getting free shit and then like you know growing it from there which sometimes like very

very rarely it works and you become a kardashian, like, for the most part, that shit doesn't work, but it does fund that central lie that, you know, when one influencer or, like, wannabe influencer goes bust, like, there's a thousand other ones trying to, like, you know, there to just come up right behind them, and we don't, like, follow them all the way down you know yeah i there was i feel like there were like a series of articles about how like aspiring influencers basically pretend to be influencers and use like the same hashtags as like real influencers that are getting sponsored content, you know, so that the brands think that they're on the same level, but it's like, they're actually buying the product,

not getting it gifted. Right. It's just, that's, that's a real big loss leader. You know what I mean? If that's your plan. They're like, yeah, yeah. Like I bought this $3,000 computer and pretended I got it for free.

It's like, why? Because then I get more followers and then I might get this computer for free. It's like, uh, why? Cause then I get more followers and then I might get this computer for free. It's like, but you already bought it. Yeah. Uh, I'll just put the other one.

I think it, it, it, again, it just for young people too. Like you're saying, it just sets off this, like,

I got to keep up with whatever, like the pace of culture right now. And if everybody looks like this and if somehow everybody is, you know, in impossible houses and cars and like flying first class and shit like it completely does your head in you have no idea what's real but more than that i think the hard part is for a young person to divorce themselves from that perceived reality like it like this is how life's moving because it's not well nobody's

living like that you even have like remember little bow wow posting about about to take off and he has that picture of the private jet and then someone's just straight up caught him and coach economy just on a southwest flight like uh yeah but i think a lot of that is like, you know, just with media right now, TikTok, Instagram, all of that, that's where like, that's where we're getting like all of our celebrity news, our celebrity gossip, like real people are becoming celebrities. It's you're getting quote unquote influenced by your peers versus the celebrities you see on TV. You know what I mean? Exactly. the celebrities you see on tv right you know what i mean exactly oh these people are relatable to me and now they're the ones that are creating the demand for like these uh for this unsustainable lifestyle versus i think you know in like the 2000s and the 90s

it was very much like mtv and you know celebrity tabloids yeah and you get and it's like the difference being like when I was 16 the only people I knew who were like doing shit big out of high school were like Kobe Bryant Jermaine O'Neal and maybe LeBron James and like I was like yo those 16 year like those are the most lit 16 year olds on earth kind of shit and i'm like and i was secure and knowing like i don't know yeah everybody just kind of goes to school or does whatever and just kind of figures it out but with social media like you have all these examples to be like i'm nine and i got fucking three billion dollars in liquid fucking like i'm liquid three billion this is how i got there and you have all these weird uh examples for people to sort of like

latch on to that i think also like because of the specificity of it create more very specific expectations for somebody too and i think that was potentially the benefit of not having as much you know not being inundated with influencer culture in my teen years because it was like you you'd get it from like you're saying like you'd have to watch bet or mtv and look in like five different magazines and that's how you ever engaged with like mate like pop culture whereas now it can hit you fucking everywhere and with hyper specificity have you guys seen that guy on tiktok that basically shows you how to be like a slumlord yeah or i've seen that but you know who basically shows you how to be like a slumlord? Yeah. Or I've seen that. But you know who I'm talking about.

He's like building this insane like house with like multiple like hot tubs. And it's just like, this is not real. Like this is insane. Like people believe this guy. Wait, what? So he's like a lifestyle influencer, but like the way he's funding his lifestyle is by being a slumlord basically he's like a realtor he owns multiple properties has like income properties but like it's just all very shady and weird like he's basically looking for like people who are about

to get foreclosed on yeah kick him out what you do go to your like local county website and look for distressed properties it's like that kind of shit then you show up you make an offer blah blah blah and now you're fucking slumlord and this is my lambo yeah 100 that's like this pattern that's shown like the lambo is like this other thing that's now just become shorthand for like are you wrong do you have a lambo and are you doing and how are you getting to Lambo are you doing that because you're a twitch god gaming are you a landlord are you you know a dancer I don't know like there's all kinds of ways there but I feel like it's it's completely robbed people of the idea that they're actually uniquely individual and I think that's like the really insidious part about all of it

how are you get to Lambo that is my question to everybody I meet. Yeah, that's so interesting, the idea that so much of this shit is funded by the Nobel Prize is named after a family that made their fortune

making TNT that blew people up in the first World War. Oh, they were like the socklers before the socklers yeah they're like y'all feel bad about opioids but that's like it feels so much like we there's a very dark system that we've put this social media sheen on top of and like the social media sheen is like designed to lie to us and like put a put a fake version of reality out there that like on the one hand it's like yeah it's lying to make you think it's like prettier than it is but it's also lying because it we don't want to know what

the reality is because reality is dark right it is i mean honestly i do kind of love i love like um interior design tiktok and shit like that you know i mean it's a fantasy am i ever gonna do it no sure i think it's like different than like absolutely not we'll never pull the plug my house will always look like I just moved in. We'll buy your house for cash signs on the signposts around L.A. Like they're, you know, they're just looking for people who are in a desperate enough way or in like drug addiction or, you know, like just trying to like that. trying to like that when they did the study of like billionaires, like the really, really rich, like the people who have succeeded the most at capitalism in the United States over the past, like 40 years, it's always predators. It's always people who are preying on somebody who is in a worse position than them. And then just hitting that button over and over and over again until they're

you know extremely wealthy like that that's just how capitalism in the u.s works and then we tell ourselves a fancy pretty story on social media yeah but it's it's dark man my company with three vhs tapes it's like an awful i worked really hard i didn't give up i always believed in myself yes only got like 400 grand in like seed money from my grandpa okay back up right i did it i did it all on my own what do you mean like your grandpa's money yeah but it was my grandpa so but they could i mean the social media aspect of it all is like the those billionaires could write the like true story of how I did this. And it would be like I hired like 10 really smart people. Here's a profile of those really smart people. They made like a bunch of really great decisions for us. And then we found these businesses that were really struggling and just fucking rinsed the fuck out of them and like a billion uh business transactions in a row and uh and nobody would buy that and so like the publishing house even if you turned in the honest billionaires uh memoir to the publishing house you wouldn't get it published or you would

and nobody would read it so you get the wolf of wall street version of business and no one's it's like oh that's a fantasy they weren't that crazy they didn't really do all those things well the reason we only reason we got to read the wolf of wall street like version of it is because martin scorsese like told it as like a stylized tale where we got to like view it from inside the drug addled mind of this person who like thought they were, you know, could fly. A golden god. Yeah. It's like, yeah, I took a bunch of quaaludes. I can get out of my Lambo or whatever you had and just fucking snail slug my way out of the car.

It's not even just having a Lambo. It's like having a Lambo and not even being able to drive it. Like, like, having a license. Like I have so much that I can just own this as a decorative piece. Yeah, exactly. Cause we, we have,

again, like I think social media too, like are like the, you know, language of status symbols and like semiotics and things are like Lambo equals this, uh, ice grill equals this Louis Vuitton bag equals this. And like we have all this shorthand for like, well, if you accumulate these items, then by definition, you are this person.

But we have so much like I have in my youth. I chased after so many material things because it's like if I accumulate these things, then I will be successful because successful people have these things. And I completely had the process backwards. Have you guys seen Snowflake Mountain on Netflix? I watched the first two episodes and I was like, okay, I don't know. Okay, but like when they cried, because they, so, I mean, the title is really stupid. Yeah.

In my opinion. I mean, the title is really stupid, in my opinion. But these little bratty-ass Gen Zs bring all their designer, their Louis Vs, their Gucci, their whatever, all of that. And they get to this mountain, this desolate-ass, sad-ass, dirty-ass mountain. mountain and the producers take all of their luggage and blow it up in front of them and the actual tears that start falling down their faces i could just eat that up like every day all day every day but in a way you're like oh they're victims it feeds me that those tears fed me but it is also really sad where it's like y'all are just like literally children and you are so obsessed with this shit like none of this means anything this does not give you a personality this is not like you like once you're stripped of that well who are you right i'm like oh i'm gonna get these sneakers because they just came out and then i'm like i have no car insurance or a cell active

cell phone this month and then i'm like whoops oops but you're flying yeah but i'm flying and you know what nobody looking this good on the bus wow you're like i'm gonna be the best looking dude on this bus i'm like yeah hello and they're like we're sorry but due to a non-payment you're lying i'm like just shut up really quick okay i'm gonna take that call you're fired oh you didn't hear me you're fired at&t uh danielle truly a pleasure having you on the daily zeitgeist uh where can people find you follow you all that good stuff find me on twitter and instagram at diva deluxe no e at the end uh yeah and watch me on uh the latest season of curb and the latest season of russian doll yeah yeah and is there a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying oh my god i am really obsessed with benifer getting married oh yeah fucking j-lo Fucking J-Lo in a bed, sans makeup, sans fards.
