Hey man, that's the new thing in gardening.

Weeds are just a frame of mind, man. You think they're weeds, but I think they're actually beautiful plants that should be eaten. I think you can eat a lot of weeds. You can eat dandelions. Have you had a dandelion salad? I've seen people do that, of weeds. You can eat dandelions. I know that shit.

Have you had a dandelion salad? I've seen people do that, but I'm like, I don't know. I ate dandelions when I was a kid just because. Oh, you're getting choked up? I'm getting choked up. I ate dandelions when I was a kid just because they looked they were everywhere and

you know, I was hungry. Wait, you were eating the shit? Like blowing the fuck in that stage? No. The yellow one. I'm trying to be like I thought you were like yo, let me get a bite of that.

I definitely like cotton candy. They're the cotton candy of the yard waste. I definitely got some of that They're the cotton candy of the yard. It's all natural cotton candy. I definitely got some of that shit in my mouth before I knew how to like control my breath very well. You know, blow, then suck, and it comes, it catches when it's sucking in. Yeah. I mean, in fifth grade, we read that book about the kid who gets lost in the woods or whatever, and he makes a dandelionion salad and my fifth grade teacher made us go out and gather the stuff and make it which i don't know if that was

a good idea but we did yeah you can eat anything so yeah i can't that's actually really bad advice to give kids uh anyways my name's jack o'b. It might sound crazy, but it ain't no lie.

And they're going to call you baby when they do it. They're going to say baby. Baby. It might sound crazy. Maybe that sounds crazy. Miles Gray? That sounds crazy, baby. Anyways, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a brilliant actor, comedian,

writer, podcast host who you know from countless podcasts her show tv i say with ashley ray and the new stand-up special ice cream money which is so funny you must go out oh shit i didn't know that was gonna rhyme um you must go listen to it immediately you dummy it's available for purchase now available streaming please welcome the brilliant the talented ashley ray hey i'm so happy to be here it's great to have you always great so happy to have you thank you what a wonderful introduction my goodness you have uh you have the good kind of homework ahead of you i I don't know if you, but you were telling us that you have like a task that sounds insurmountable to me, a non pot smoker, who when I would smoke pot, I would, you know, have existential crises and just realize things about myself I didn't want

to know. But you, yeah, you're going to be judging some Mary Jane, I think is what the kids call it. Oh, yeah, that's what we call it. We're still calling it that, the Mary Jane. Or they call it Riz or something now. I don't know. That's right. I'm a judge in the Emerald Cup. It is California's, I think, biggest weed competition.

It's every category, tincture, edibles, vapes. Last year I was in the vape category i had to smoke 230 vapes in a month and a half holy shit uh and this year yeah i still have so many of them like i've never bought a vape again like i just have a basket full of vapes and anytime someone comes over i'm like please yeah go take some some weed yeah but. But yeah, this year I'm in the pre-roll category. So I have to smoke like 300 joints. We have to try every single person that enters a pre-roll pack, a single joint, whatever it is, we got to try every single one.

And then we meet every week and we talk about our vote, which ones we like. There's a very detailed graph. It's serious weed smoking okay it's not for you know this isn't some stoner no there's a lot of dandelions that you're gonna be burning through a lot of dandelions yeah oh yeah that's that's cool like that's a cool way to judge anything though is to like have it be sort of salon style where you kind of like get the group together i don't know is that how like

i feel like the oscars don't have that much thought put into them and they're like the most famous awards like that's true you know they don't like watch a thing come back be like hey this was dope right they do the thing where they're like hey what movies are winning awards from the other award shows yeah i see that oh yeah yeah they see that. I see that. Oh, yeah, yeah. They don't even watch everything. But no, we try every single thing and then we sit on a Zoom and you hear very passionate

40 to 50-year-old men defend weed. And it is one of my favorite things in the world. Wow. Can you give me just an example of something, like an argument you've heard on one of those oh i mean yeah the vape vape is a really tough category it's kind of where they

start you because it's you have to really prove yourself because a lot of people get distracted with vape and just like an exciting flavor you know like it tastes so good but no this is a group where we sit down and we're like what about ease of use how was the packaging you know was this an easy button charging experience is it too much plastic there's a lot that that you know we look into and then they hate when something has like a fake flavor and is just about the flavor it's so there was there was this girl who like loved this raspberry vape thing and i also thought it was good i was on her side i was like girl me you this raspberry gelato it's tasty and everyone else was just like absolutely not how dare you no there's not on this grod's green earth will i get let that into my top 10 category and we were just like wow it's good

though and it made me hot at least it's not uh at least it's a sophisticated flavor like raspberry gelato it's not you know that so you don't have the dirty feeling that is like trying to appeal to like get eight-year-olds to smoke weed right yeah you know it's this is for an adult cake pot yeah i mean they have that too i mean like there's a company called cheaters that oh for sure yeah i'm just saying like this one at least sounds a little bit less shady well the flavors are so aggressive like you think you're stroking out because how vivid like there's even pre-rolls like this company cheaters that have this one that's like a horchata one that first time i smoked i was like

like in my mouth i was like yeah it's for this shit is devil this is the devil though yeah i was like this is some chemical i should not devil this is the devil though yeah i was like this is some chemical i should not be handling this and of course i tried it because i was like sounds delicious but i didn't want that i wasn't smoking yeah you're smoking a car air freshener yeah yeah when i made like nicotine the like i started out being like this mango shit is like crazy it tastes like mango but like eventually it's just too monotonous it's like too too much and like i ended up wanting the one that like tasted the worst but like tasted the most like dirt because that's what cigarettes taste like you know so just be like yeah give me the do you

have like car exhaust that's what i'm going for just looking for gravel straight dirt yeah yeah all right well ashley we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. The Supreme Court is once again dealing in hypotheticals because they need to, because they need to make up the scenarios that are going to scare the Christians. So we'll talk about that. Speaking of the Christians, new hot product just dropped. I haven't checked StockX yet to see if we can get this on there, but Trump Bibles, baby. God bless the USA Bibles. Yeah, we're here finally. We'll talk about that. Jesus Christ.

I don't know. Like this feels like a new low to me. Like it just somehow new level of like on the nosedness. Just I don't know. I don't know. When I read the Bible, I'm like, this is too foreign. So yeah, I need this to be more American. Right, right. We're going to talk about companies trying to cash in on the upcoming solar eclipse,

which is coming up in a little over a week and it's the total solar eclipse of the hot hut oh of the hut is the pizza hut the pizza hut yeah total eclipse of the hut oh but it's happening on april 8th start uh it's probably a little too late to make your plans i start i was immediately like all right who do i know who's in the path of this shit yeah i'm gonna take my kids there because you're late right you're too late yeah yeah yeah they're all all the friends guest rooms are full and all the hotels are gouging people we'll get to it but before we do ashley we like to ask our guests what is something from your

search history that's revealing about who you are i've been on a deep dive to find some rare documentaries from sky tv lately oh shit okay sky tv is a british cable channel and it's like you can't it's not streaming it's a cable channel like you need a british cable box so i've been doing so many deep they have just some great stuff over there like first they got a boeing dock so good but i wanted to i wanted to watch this one specifically it's called uh tell them you love me uh if you're familiar with the anne steubenfield case from 2014 uh she was a facilitated translator who worked with disabled people. And she was assigned to this guy, DJ. He was like 30 years old. She was a little older than him. She's this married lady,

nice white lady in the family is like, yeah, let this white, nice lady help our son talk. He's nonverbal and, you know, lives in a wheelchair. And she was like, yeah, we can use a keyboard and I can help guide his hand and he'll be able to spell words. And at first, like, it seemed legit. They thought, OK, yes, I think she's really helping him. He's saying stuff. But then slowly they're like, everything she's saying he likes seems weird. Like she's saying he likes classical music and red wine.

And we don't think like our brothers never experienced anything around that. brother has never like experienced anything around that right and then one day she's like so actually dj and i are in love uh we have been making love i'm leaving my husband and we're gonna be together and the family is like what he's he's literally to say like he the courts have said he has like the mental age of probably like a seven-year-old like he can walk a bit and talk but like you know and she's like no like he's brilliant like look at all the stuff he said and then another psychiatrist and doctor was like so this lady's been talking to herself on this keyboard like he anyway anyone style yeah like anyone else who tried to do it with him he couldn't spell anything or they would like be like okay you know she said he's able to take college classes they would show him a picture of a key and be like can you spell what

this is and he couldn't do it and it was just like she's just been talking to herself wow do you think she knows it or is it like when you're doing like ouija with your friends and you're like oh shit it just spelled my name but like you're just kind of doing it, but it's an unconscious part of you? No, she believes it because, hey, she's in the documentary. They got her in the documentary. They got her in the doc. The family is in the doc.

Everybody's in it. Oh, is this a Louis Thoreau joint? You know what? I think it is, yeah. Wow. It is so good. Just generally the concept of like British documentaries about like the Boeing one. I'm going to go seek that out. Like when I went abroad for a semester to Ireland to learn Irish and like the documentary.

Good day, my lady. And the documentaries they were showing us in class were like like a philosophy class they like showed us the documentary about america in like you know just like this new perspective that you just don't get in the u.s right that's like oh yeah no you're part of like the evil empire like look at what the this military incursion into Peru, the like, you didn't even know about. And it's like the evilest shit you've ever seen. Like it's,

it's good to get that outside perspective and you don't have to read subtitles. Yeah. That's the best part. Oh yeah. I mean, and you know, Netflix now they buy international docs and they just dub over them.

They just dub it with English. So you can watch anything now. Oh, wow. Morgan Freeman working overtime. Just coming in. It's a living. Damn, that Ann Steubenfield shit. I'd never heard that.

That's. Yeah, there was a deep dive New York Times article on it. Like, go read that. Like, it's start there and you're gonna be like oh i need to go watch this documentary it's like the first time anyone involved in the case has actually talked i mean like there's no space to think that this like anna stubblefield person was like i don't know that's just what i'm thinking like she just comes off as a straight-up predator uh yeah and it's one of those docs where they let her just like talk herself off a cliff where she's like

no like you know sometimes we would argue with each other and i would be like oh i won't change what you said and it's so clear that what she's saying is impossible and like even the people around like the she had him in a college class and they interview the professor and she's like i never thought it never seemed like he was engaging it never seemed like he was the one giving these answers. I never believed it was him because it so clearly was just this white lady sitting next to him. Wow. So it's but in her head, she is 100 percent like, no, it was all real.

And her husband like left her and wrote the court a letter that was just like, she's manipulative. She is a pathological liar uh she should go to jail forever she's she was a professor of philosophy at yeah like a yeah she was like really legit and she had helped a lot of people so that on the other hand a lot of like disabled rights activists were like no like wait we like her she's done a lot of good work like she's not entirely wrong about this stuff right but i think in this case she was very wrong and grim yeah it's it's some consequences without spoiling anything yeah i want to give a shout out to someone in a reddit thread I found in my deep Google search who posted in a legal link to watch it.

And so I was finally able to find it. So thank you. That there. That's my deep Google search. Is that. Yeah. Shout out to some person in Reddit. Daily motion.

Daily motion where most shit is probably there if they took it off YouTube. The thread is called. Wait, who is Anna Stubblefield? That's crazy. What is something you think is underrated? I just got a new water bottle. It's an O'Walla. Oh, yeah.

O'Walla. Yeah, everybody's talking about him. And I was like, this is nonsense. This is not going to be. Oh, whoa. Throw your O'Wallies in the sky. Wave them side to side. No ditty.

Wow. No ditty. It is everything they say it is. It is better than everyone told me. It is so good. I'm obsessed with this stupid water bottle. I bought accessories for it. I made fun of those.

There's accessories. I made fun of the Stanley girls. I was like, who gets accessories for a water bottle? I got this. I carry it with me everywhere. I'm like, oh gets accessories for a water bottle? I got this. I carry it with me everywhere. I'm like, oh, you can get an AirPod holder for this thing. Oh, I can get like a little hand sanitizer thing that goes on the side. Well, you don't want your wallet to be lonely.

So you have to get a second one for it to play. I got like colorful booths to decorate it. I am so it's better than everyone said. It's so good i didn't i didn't know about it because i was like at the end of last year i got one at a white elephant party and like when like i had everyone's like oh and i'm like what the fuck is everybody going about but this is a fucking water bottle and then i drank i was like oh it's got the built-in straw okay i see i see what you're doing here i think that's just like the one thing that makes it slightly different but again i have so many fucking like you know like

if it's like the like the one promotional gift everyone fucking has been handing out the last five years or like hydro flask with some brand name on it or whatever i have such a collection that yeah i'm having to like look at some of them sideways and be like if you don't have the built-in straw yeah you're just a little can, basically, with a lid. And it needs to have a straw cover because I don't like the whole raw straw in the air deal. That's why I hate the stainless, too. Ew. Yeah.

A wallet? It's just collecting germs. And it's up to you. You can sip it or straw it, basically. Yeah. But it has a cover. Let's be real. We're using the straw.

Yeah, I'm using the straw every time i say i drink so much more water it i i know everyone is telling you they're good they're better than you think and the colors are pretty i'm all in on it sorry better than stanley better than stanley and they're and you can buy them retail price yeah they're not that expensive and i'm they're saying it's the queer stanley frankly that's what Stanley, frankly. That's what the streets are saying. That's what the kids say. Oh, is that what the streets are saying? Is that a wallah is the queer Stanley?

So think about that. Think about that in yourself. Well, I will use mine with pride because it's a beautiful thing. And it's that built-in straw. That's the thing. Stanley is very cishet coded. Yeah. You can just.

Oh, yeah. Very coded. Very coded. Yeah. But it goes both ways. It's a bisexual water bottle and right right i support that what's something you think is overrated uh right now i'm gonna go with mental health uh i just i just think being well uh mentally is overrated right now at this point

in my life and in time i'm really just leaning into to mental illness let's just let it go you know let's let's just lean it like if you're depressed watch as many murder sad documentaries as you can let's just see what happens that's you know i just i feel like it's i'm a bit weak i gave mental health a shot and let me just go the other way for a bit yeah for you just like i'm gonna just i've leaned one way i'm gonna lean the other and see where i net out see where i net out yeah you know i i've been watching so many things that are to improve myself or educate reading no no you know what i sat and i watched i binged a four episode documentary about some youtuber i've never heard of in my life who like groomed a bunch of people it was sad and dark but i wanted to hey

i leaned in now i know about this person yeah yeah which i was gonna say which which which documentary because i feel like there's always a fucking documentary about youtubers that are grooming people i oh i've uh what is his like oh siren oh not oh uh oh onision onision in real life yeah i'd never heard of this guy and the whole time i was like what's his name orion oh no oh no nine and i felt like the oldest person in the world because everyone else was like he's very well known it's so wild too like i do the same thing like i it's weird when like i see something on the internet that has like millions of views and like just like youtuber and i'm like what the i never heard of i've never heard of this son what the fuck is this but yeah i know yeah i too have fallen down the onision oh

yeah and that that broke me a bit mentally so yeah yeah right and then you're like what i need mental health for what do I need mental health for? What do I need it for? The YouTube video did it. Yeah. I'm off the cliff now, okay? Yeah. I feel like I was, like, sometimes I'm doing mental health wrong,

but when I'm focusing too much on how I'm feeling, I feel like I tend to, you know what I mean? Like, if I'm focusing, if I'm thinking about my mental health and thinking about how i'm feeling and how happy i am like that fucks me up because then if i feel bad it's like you know like you're fucking i feel bad about feeling bad you know yeah yeah so yeah just like not great so that's why you have to create that's i just think of it more of like just putting yourself in the good of the right environment yeah all the. Like more so than being like,

am I 1000% happy, like ecstatic going off? I was like, no, man, I just need to make sure like I'm, I'm in a good, I'm always putting myself in the right environments,

creating myself the right. You know what? I throw that all out the window and, uh, just go, just ball, do what you want to do. Just do it for the story.

Yeah. Don't even think about how you feel. What do you want? How does it feel right now? Right. That's true. That's what's underrated. There you go.

All right. That and Oala, obviously. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the Supreme Court. What are those crazy kids getting up to? those crazy kids getting up to. 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.

Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. 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 Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. We are back.

And this is the Supreme Court of Hypotheticals. Yes, my lord. Yes, my lord. Allow me to present to you a case that might happen. And then let's restrict people's rights based off of this. And Tuesday was no different. The Supreme Court heard arguments in FDA versus Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. And this is the case that will potentially could determine the fate of abort the abortion pill mifepristone and the gist of their argument of this group uh the alliance for hippocratic medicine is that the fda just went mad by approving the drug over two decades ago and have

betrayed they use the words betrayed women and girls by not looking into the drug enough for its potential harmful side effects. Just up top, this drug is considered by the American Medical Association as safe as Tylenol. But the case is deploying. Now, this is coming from the Alliance for Defending Freedom, the ADF. And they're using one of their signature tactics here, which is the hypothetical. I said hypothetical. I was on the hypocritical. I took my hypothetical scenario. Again, we talked about this group probably like the end of last year, maybe it was last June. They were the same people that went after anti-discrimination laws and went to the Supreme Court. And they're like, this lady in Colorado who designs websites, she would get in trouble according to these anti-discrimination laws and went to the supreme court and they're like this lady in colorado who designs websites she would get in trouble according to these anti-discrimination laws people yes for saying no to a gay couple that wanted a wedding website and then when you looked in that lady was barely a fucking legitimate web designer that was a very charitable description description of her and they faked her entire story about even being approached by a

gay couple which was the the whole point of them being like and this this is the damage that could could not find a single example of the crime that they were trying to be outraged about but the supreme court did not care so in this instance they are right the supreme court found on like what side they ruled adf right yes yeah cool so in this case they're saying the Supreme Court found on like what side they ruled ADF. Yes. Yeah. Cool. So in this case, they're saying the member of this small anti-abortion doctor coalition might one day have to care for a patient suffering a rare and severe complication from an FDA approved pill. The case speculates, quote, that doctor might that doctor might be forced to administer that patient an emergency abortion violating their anti-abortion convictions and that's why we need to put an end to the wide distribution of mifepristone and have people search out seek

maybe less safe and dodgier options and so you know now they are just saying that basically this whole drug is just so dangerous. And that's another thing. It's like, that's why it's like, because that's, it's so dangerous that one of these doctors might have to do an abortion that they don't want, that they don't believe in completely ignoring the fact that doctors can, they, they have like, there are, there are laws that like, that allow a doctor to be like, I can't in good conscience do this. I would like to refer it to another person. You're not, no one's got a gun to doctor to be like, I can't in good conscience do this. I would like to refer it to another person. No one's got a gun to you and be like, yo, you need to go through it. That's just not how it works.

But again, this is the reality they're setting up and that the drug is so dangerous. And again, you look at the fucking things they put out. A study in the journal Nature Medicine looked at 6,000 medication abortions provided by virtual clinics, found that 98% of them were effective without any additional intervention. And 99.8% were, quote, not followed by serious adverse events. And throughout the course of this case, the Alliance of Defending Freedom has pointed at, like, junk science that has regularly been debunked by study after study when it comes to mifepristone. has regularly been debunked by study after study when it comes to mifepristone. And then even the studies that they're like, see, this actually furthers our arguments about why this is so dangerous. Those studies were pulled by medical journals because they were rife with, quote,

fundamental problems, incorrect factual assumptions, material errors, and misleading presentations. Not to mention that they were written by people that were affiliated with anti-abortion groups. So it was just already, it's just like propaganda from the start. And again, like you look at like these, the scenarios, right? Like this hypothetical, these doctors are not the ones that are even prescribing the Mifepristone in the first, in the first place. They say they face imminent harm because the FDA was overzealous in approving it and making it widely accessible. And right now it's not clear what the Supreme Court thinks, although they were asking the kinds of questions that may lead people to believe that they don't believe that this group has standing to challenge the FDA because that would open up just like the FDA would be meaningless. Just religion over FDA. Yeah.

For science. Like, yeah. Has anybody cited the well-known case of person comes in after a car crash and doctor says, I can't operate on them because they are my son. Son. And how could that be? Oh, my God. Women can be doctors, too.

But but they I mean, they were able to say, I can't operate on this person. So why wouldn't abortion crazy doctor be able to say, I can't do this? Because that's not the type of medicine I practice. I built my career in a different way. And then this doctor can go do it. Yeah. But yeah, the obvious reason here, like, that this case has even come up is because medication abortions make up nearly two-thirds of the abortions in the nation and again this is another

attempt at dragging the country back into the 19th century that's why they're even evoking the comstock laws of 1873 that were like you cannot send lewd materials over the postal service like leaves of grass like the abortion pill is is a lewd material yes it's just like a lot of reaching if you're if you're ordering the abortion pill you've already been doing something pretty lewd so yeah yeah exactly and i'm like but how do you again this is just like they're they're they really did anything to try and get this case to the supreme court and like now because they've done anything they're just now. I mean, again, it's not that I'm counting on this group of very unserious judges to do what's right. But

even for them, they're like, are you sure about this thing? Like Brett Kavanaugh didn't even ask a question. Apparently, he was just kind of like, yeah, yeah, I'm just let somebody else ask something. This seems a bit off. And other, you know, know other justices i think it was kagan was saying where is your victim show me your victim show me the person who is damaged by this yes where is your case that's that should just be the first question that we always ask the like right-wing people when they want to have a panic about you know as we talked about earlier this week human trafficking like the the version of human trafficking that they made up for the movie like taken or fucking the sound of freedom like does not exist it doesn't exist you don't have a single case like

it is such a big fucking country there is so much fucked up shit happening to people. You can't come up with a single case of a person being forced to get an abortion against their will or like a religious doctor having to perform an abortion because woke laws or, you know, like it's. You mean, yeah, or have a doctor perform an abortion? I mean, I'd imagine there probably are some cynical versions where someone was made to get an abortion. Yeah. Yeah. No,

that's true. Okay. I should say, yeah. Of this, there's no example of this like religious doctor having to perform an abortion against their, against.

Yeah. Yeah. It's just like what the, what conservatives do on Twitter now with AI, where they're just like, this is what they're trying to take from us. And they hate all. And it's just like some AI thing of like everyone being black and it's like dei america and it's like right oh no yeah which is the new way of saying black is just di so exactly yeah

did you see that they blamed the mayor of baltimore they like, look at the DEI mayor. The DEI mayor. Wait, what? The person who got 70% of the vote in Baltimore? Well, yeah, I mean, this is what they do with anything that, you know, they code it to the point that it becomes a radioactive term. You can't even say critical race theory, or

you can't say fucking DEI, because they'll just keep hammering it away. I'm like, this is what they're trying to do. Is all the DEI. For them, they're like, I'm saying the N- hammering it away. I'm like, this is what they're trying to do. It's all a DEI. For them, they're like, I'm saying the N word in my mind. Right, right.

Yeah. All right. Well, for a little solace, for those of us who are just fed up with this fucked up country of ours, we've got a new product just dropped. The God bless the USA Bible. It is the only Bible that is officially endorsed by Donald Trump.

Famous, famous theologian, Donald Trump. Famous good Christian, Donald Trump. Obviously. I mean, let's let the man pitch it himself and maybe people's minds will change after they hear what exactly he's trying to sell us on now. I'm proud to be partnering with my very good friend, Lee Greenwood. Who doesn't love his song, God Bless the USA, in connection with promoting the God Bless the USA Bible. This Bible is the King James Version and also includes our founding father documents yes the constitution which i'm fighting for every single day very hard to keep americans protected also the bill of rights to declare anyway so this goes on for three fucking minutes and it's fucking useless his favorite his famous song god bless

america it's uh yeah it's 60 dollars though 60 gets you into the door of salvation though yeah it's not on stock x yet i just checked so we we'll have to see what the demand has yeah but i don't know he's he noted in his promotional video, it's time to make America pray again. And yeah, this wasn't his idea, just as the NFTs probably weren't his idea. But he reportedly gets royalties. Of course. Yeah. He's basically two shitty Bibles, what William Shatner is to Priceline.com.

He's just you know out here i mean there's a lot of people point to the fact that they're like oh yeah famous bible lover i know we were saying like you know noted christian but like a few years ago miles yeah i know he definitely reads and he reads that one for sure yeah but he wasn't james for sure oh yeah of course And this is great because I remember about the last time when he was on the campaign trail before the 2016 election, they were like, oh, man, y'all talking that Bible shit, man. Why don't you tell us about your favorite Bible verses? And this is like that scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin where Steve Carell has to lie about having sex. Yeah.

Because he clearly hasn't. This is Donald Trump talking about how much he loves the Bible. You mentioned the Bible. You've been talking about how it's your favorite book. And you said, I think last night in Iowa, some people are surprised that you say that. I'm wondering what one or two of your most favorite Bible verses are. I wouldn't want to get into it because to me that's very personal.

You know, when I talk about the Bible, it's very personal. So I don't want to get into verses. I don't want to get into it. There's no verse that means a lot to you that you think about or cite? The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics. Even to cite a verse that you like? No, I don't want to do that. Are you an Old Testament guy or a New Testament guy? Probably equal.

I think it's just incredible. The whole Bible isn't incredible. I joke very much so. They always hold up the art of the deal i say my second favorite book of all time but uh i just think the bible is just something very special whoa it's so i love i love me just even hit him with total bullshit question hey so you're old testament guy or new testament guy equal equal yeah and how do you even fight that you can't be like no that doesn't even make sense say probably equal what you like more you like reasonable doubt or the black album

oh probably equal i just think that jay-z is something very special although i don't like that one song dead presidents a little bit too violent for me get money uh but yeah the whole fucking it's too it's too personal like come on like that there's there's not a single christian who talks like that like you can't even talk like a christian he would probably be like just make something up yeah right you could be like i love well that's not really the verse i love the whole creation story because i really believe it no no no i love too much speed i love that the bible is so personal and special that you can sell it for 60 and paste in the constitution and the bill of rights like that's how special it is and some i don't probably handwritten like

lyrics of a song from some guy yeah it is the the lyrics to uh god bless the usa and the pledge of allegiance which like doesn't feel that solemn like that feels a little i don't know no the pledge of allegiance and even like the price right like you know you you don't i bible doesn't cost 60 but in this version they're like the the reason the logic here of why it is such a high price point is because it's the only Bible that is officially endorsed by Donald Trump what the fuck

this is where he's at now just let's just endorse shit that people have in their house and they'll buy it though they are gonna buy it it's probably sold out already now you can still get it oh okay well good you want one i'll send one over oh yeah okay i mean i forget the pledge of allegiance sometimes so it would be good to have it in a bible yeah yeah exactly i just believe in

end separation of church and state completely and finally there's a bible that represents that for me yeah there's no way he could like make it through a single book of the king james like there's just no that's i don't think he's made it through an entire church service in his life no this is so fucking boring yeah like that's what he would be saying i have a call i that's bad that was a bad trump impression you both were nailing you were both so good it's all energetic yeah but yeah he's definitely the kind of guy who was who would be like if there were smartphones when he was probably go if ever in a church he would just be glued to that fucking yeah yeah yeah i don't know what's he saying did i have the snack with the grape juice yet like is this a new level of cynicism did i just like have a hard reset when i was sleep asleep last night and like woke up

and i'm just like whoa wait where are we this motherfucker's selling but like just evil hitler obsessed drug addled fascist is trying to squeeze more money out of his poor followers by selling them Bibles. It just feels too obviously evil and stupid to be a real thing that is happening. It just feels like a bad work of satire at this point. You feel like even someone on his side would be like okay come on hold on a second like yeah it's the by this is the thing that we're supposed to really care about you're saying this is your bible yeah just did like a supreme type collab with the holy bible but i guess that's kind of what he's on like how supreme does like really

weird collaborations like a pool table a a leaf blower, or whatever. It is going to be like, yeah, man, I have Trump forks, I eat off a Trump plate, I use Trump paper napkins, I have it's just like, I guess that's the next logical step because if we've already done like vacations, timeshares,

stupid real estate classes, exactly, steaks, sneakers, you know what I mean yeah and now the bible i think we have to get into like disposable goods now yeah i feel like those sneakers probably like you don't hear much about those sneakers i'm wondering can our uh listeners who live in places that you know red states let us know if they're seeing any of these around, like just block, like as you're driving down the street, just like blinding you.

Yeah. Or the collectors are like, no, I got to keep it on a shelf, man. Yeah. Right. To my,

next to my Thomas Jefferson trail of tears commemorative plate set. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't seen him. Andrew Jackson. I didn't even associate a Thomas. I've seen a few cyber trucks, but I have not seen.

Seeing a Cybertruck in the wild is still pretty wild. It's fucking mind blowing. Yeah. It's too much. Because what? Because you're so jealous? Because I'm like, God damn it. I want it.

That guy thinks he's better than me. And he is. He's so cool. And he is. And he is. And he knows it. That's what I hate about it. Because I'm in this car. So hard. And he's in He's so cool. And he is. And he is. And he knows it. That's what I hate about it. Because I'm in this car and he's in Cybertruck.

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. And we're back.

And this is your notice that we are a little over one week away from total solar eclipse on April 8th. This is an especially rare event because its path of totality will be much wider than the 2017 eclipse which was one of the first stories we covered on this show so april 8th will be one of the last stories we cover we're ending it it's a we just do what the sun tells us to you know right exactly but this is going to give more americans a clear view of the phenomenon than the last time I have. I'm on the record as saying like I've been mostly I haven't been in the direct path of any of these eclipse experiences, but like they've been mostly underwhelming in my experience. It's because you got to because you got to be in that path. You got to go on the path of totality. Yeah.

Yeah. But we still try. We still go out there and we're like, whoa, look, that light reflecting off the thing kind of has a crescent shape. Yeah, wow, look at that. Look at the shadow. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Or do you use like binoculars or something and aim them so you can project the shadow onto the ground? I remember doing that. Yeah. And then I go, honestly, I think I could look at it. I really don't think anything will happen if I look at it.'m just and my boyfriend goes don't do no no and i'm like i okay you come on i don't think anything would happen i've taken a sneaky look at the eclipse i like i look at the sun every day in my life basically you got to give it i got i like to

give a good solid three minutes of direct eye contact with the sun every morning. And when I wait, that's how I reset my day. Okay, that's how I elevate as a human. You need three minutes just eye contact with the sun. Factory reset. I know you were saying you put a, what is it? A hyper ice massage gun to the temple as a way to do a hard reset. Factory reset on your brain. The new one, go outside.

First thing you wake up, direct eye contact with the sun for three straight minutes solar eclipse lasts for four minutes 27 seconds so that's the that's the ice bucket challenge of this solar eclipse is staring for the whole four minutes 27 seconds 420 yeah there you go yeah there you go are you real how much do you like solar eclipses bro like you've got like science people who are like yeah no we're traveling there oh yeah you're about that then you look at it yeah you go look at it wrong with the eyes burn the corneas exactly spend the rest of your day blinking a lot because there's a big blind spot there yeah exactly the rest of your life blinking. But people are going nuts. I specifically, when our writer, Jan, put the story in the doc this morning,

I immediately was like, oh, shit, I better do something. And it's way too late. So these people aren't wrong. They're just more prepared than me. There's been a small spending boom across the country. Campgrounds and rental cars have sold out. Hotel rooms are getting booked up thanks to a massive number of tourists planning to visit states in the path of totality. Indiana, which, Ashley, isn't that where you hail

from? I am from the Midwest. I'm from Illinois. You're from the Midwest. Illinois. I'll claim it as Midwest, but we are better than them. Yes, of course. Indiana is preparing to get 500,000 visitors. That's a lot for Indiana. Who goes there? That's probably the most they've had in a while. That's more than seven times the attendance at the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis. So they're in trouble. Wow.

I was going to say that's probably more than the last time the Colts were in the Super Bowl. Yeah. Wow. It's too many people, some would say, for a city like Indianapolis. But despite the fact that eclipses are totally free astronomical occurrences that anybody can witness, corporations besides, you you know not just hotels are trying to monetize the eclipse as much as possible this one sounds pretty good like i'm actually not mad at this this first one you're six flags i'm mad at this first one you're mad at six go on go on yeah six flags in texas is trying to get people to pay them to witness the eclipse while simultaneously trying not to puke on the Superman tower of terror with the

six flags, Fiesta, Texas solar eclipse at the park, AKA solar coaster. That sounds cool. That's cool as fuck. What's your problem? What's wrong with that?

Because I don't, I don't think the experience is going to be that cool. Right. I think the, the, I guess the experience is gonna be that cool right i think the old the i guess the hottest ticket would be what if you're because i know those superman rides it's like basically a big j-shaped thing where they shoot you up like fucking 700 feet in the air and then you're like you know your bag like you're just looking straight up at the sky i get maybe being that high up in it when an eclipse is happening now you're gonna be in but that's like

that's like 40 people yeah that. That's what I'm like, make the fuck out of here. And it only lasts four minutes. Yeah, exactly. And it's like one, like it's actually between like deployments of the, like the amusement car.

So it's like no one actually ever gets to see it. It's up there. It's like they're just getting on and off. It's yeah. Dude, it's happening. Get off so we can go up there. Like, sorry, we missed it. That's a really good point. Like they

are selling an idealized version of what this could be in your mind that is going to not happen for 99.9% of the people who pay them. Most people are going to be in line. That's a good grift.

It is a really good grift. Better grift. Okay, I definitely I'll tip my hat to the grift that's a good grift it is a good grift better grift okay i definitely i'll tip my hat to the grift part i think the delta one is a has me hooked a little bit more but then realizing this will be a fucking prop i don't know how fun it would be but they're offering flights that basically follow the path of totality and then you can basically they're saying unadulterated views from quote extra, extra large windows. I'm sorry. It's just the fucking windows that are on the plane. You're not putting new fucking windows on.

What is this, a new plane? What are you doing to make the windows extra large? I don't trust this. Not at all. These are made by Boeing. I don't know if you've seen what the sides of their planes do. I am not doing, not with everything going on with planes. I think there's a Mercury retrograde.

And then, no, I am not going to be on a plane during this but i can see like the appeal of being like oh you might be able to see like the the land like become dark in these strips maybe that's cool but then i would like that if you only but imagine what if this is like a one of those planes like how big is the plane is it a three like they got three aisles or three rows in the fucking middle like what if you sit in the middle or if you have a fucking aisle seat then you're like hey man can i get a little bit of a look like fuck you i paid fucking six thousand dollars for this so did i that's your fucking problem that's your fucking problem but yeah that's i mean like but you know i i see they're doing a good job of you know dangling this like magical experience in front

of you but if you just think it out for, like, two or three steps, you're like, oh, wait. Yeah, like, why would I do this? I feel like even the, like, news footage from the, like, places that are in the path of totality and previous eclipses, the people remind me, I think I said this before,

of the interviews with people after they saw Phantomantom menace like you know they like the the when they have like the local news reports and they're like and these star wars fans have been camped out for 72 hours for this and we interviewed them like before going in and after and then you like have them coming out and they're all like yeah it was oh man it's like oh it was cool so cool like it they're like is it as good as the other star wars yeah better better yeah like but you can tell like so like the light has gone out like behind their eyes a little bit like they're just like no fuck like put some part of them is coming to terms with the fact that it sucked like i feel like i've seen that

in some of the footage of like parents who have like taken their kids across the country to be there and they're just like yeah i mean we're in a field here and sure it's cool we're glad that i saw i remember i think somewhere in oregon was like the best place to see it the last time it happened yeah i think that's right and i remember seeing footage of that and people like we're like yo it got so fucking cold all this like all that shit together i was like okay if i was fucking high i would be like that'd be cool wild but then it's four minutes and then you're like oh it's like okay well that happened yeah well here we are yeah worth two twenty five hundred dollars for the overpriced plane hotel and cars well we'll have all the money we spent that's the memory right what the fuck

that's right when are we getting ours out here in la come on man wasn't there come on god wasn't there an eclipse out here we had like a la like mini eclipse or something we had a yeah but not like a total like we were never in the path of totality we've never been path of totality exactly but i mean like yeah well you know people like delta are doing their shit i'm glad that the fast food companies are also they're they're on their game too making sure that they have solar eclipse based puns but really just offering nothing of substance. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the burger King is offering free whoppers for that whole day.

For some reason, I wouldn't eat a whopper if it was free. Yeah. I don't, that connection. I'm not saying I would, I actually would. I like,

I like a whopper, but I think we're boycotted. I don't know. I haven't had burger King in years. So no, I just, no, just for me,

I was like, every time I've had a burger, like a whopper, I'm like, I'm alright. Every other time it's bad, but when it hits, when the burgers and the lettuce and tomato sauce.

It only happens on Whopper Wednesday. That's the one day that it's really bad. Or an eclipse. During an eclipse, it's the one day that it's really right oh man or an eclipse yeah during an eclipse it's the one time maybe i'll see this guys we're actually gonna like make the whopper good this time hey we really put some fucking effort in y'all pizza hut has a total eclipse of the hut deal which sounds like the new york post headline after pizza hut goes out of

business yeah yeah that's kind of weird that they've gone with that, but maybe that's what they're going for. They're like, this deal is too good. We're actually not going to survive it. But it's any large pizza for $12. Yeah. And any toppings. I think that's the big one there because that's where they get you

is the toppings are extra. The toppings will fuck you up. $12 for as many toppings as you want well that even but i know recently you're like you're not feeling pizza the hut so are you would you yeah entertain that load that shit down yeah yeah i love i like topping full pizza i love supreme pizza like that's my shit yeah so they're thin and crispy is pretty good, too. You love Pizza Hut? Just generally?

Yeah. Like, I like, yeah, I loved the mini pizzas growing up as a kid. And so it just kind of became one of my favorite pizza spots for, you know, like, cheap, fast pizza. It's greasy. Yeah. It's better than, like, a Papa John's or Little Caesars. Yeah. Yeah.

Who was the guest that was saying that it's basically they're selling you Little Caesars pizza at a slight higher markup is how they describe Pizza Hut. The cheese is way better at Pizza Hut. Okay. But you know what? Crazy bread at Little Caesars. That's still. Little Caesars is in the lab. Little Caesars is experimenting with like little like pizza cupcakes or something.

I don't know. I just caught that out of the corner of my eye. They're struggling. Not now, Little Caesars. Not now. They're paying a lot of people on Twitter to promote it. Yeah. They're like, please, please, please.

I can't deal with this right now. They're like, eat ours from the ass end. You're like, what? I think that was one of the marketing when they had the fucking wild ass crust on the side. Eat it from the back. Put it that way.

Eat it from the back. We know how these online kids are. They like eating ass, so eat it from the ass end. Pizza, pizza. Sunchips have woken from their sl end. Pizza, pizza. Sun Chips have woken from their slumber.

Again, another brand that we only think about once every 20 years. The Sun Chips will be selling a special eclipse-themed flavor, but only during the time of the eclipse. So, in order to experience this,

you will need to be, during the eclipse, spending that time on your laptop trying to buy Sun Chips. Yeah. It's available, like the marketing says, available for 4 minutes, 27 seconds. Okay, this sounds dumb, but when I read the flavor, I was actually like, I would do it. I want to try it. It's different enough that you're like, oh, okay. Because sometimes they'll be like, the flavor

description will be so vague, they'll be like, it's like a combination of the dark side of the moon and the heat of the sun hitting your mouth in one go. And you're like, get to the point. Pineapple, habanero, black black bean spicy Gouda chips. That's too many flavors. I want to see.

I'm like, how are we doing this? I think they have two options. They have pineapple habanero and black bean spicy Gouda. The two stoners over here are like, yo. Pile it on, bro. Black bean spicy food. The two stoners over here are like, yo. Pile it on, bro. Black bean with pineapple. Put that cacophony of flavors straight upon me tongue now. No way.

Okay, well, I'm going to buy them both and I'm going to eat them together. So whatever. Yeah. All right. So this next detail of this story is one of the rare things that made me say that's fucked up out loud well despite everything we just said yeah despite everything we just said so eclipse tourists are being screwed over by greedy hotels who are allegedly canceling reservations that were made over a year ago by people who were like on it like we've known about this eclipse since the 1600s.

So like you could have booked this shit way the fucking advance. You could have been prepared. Yes. Yeah, right. And they booked it over a year ago in order to, you know, be there for the eclipse. And the hotels are canceling those reservations because they're like not fair.

We weren't able to gouge you enough and so basically trying to resell the room at a higher cost now that demand has risen that make like that should be the thing that starts the uprising yeah like fuck yeah that there should be a bunch of people angry nerds starting a war no like that is so infuriating and that they'll just like get away with it yeah they're like yeah it's just it's the price gouging shit it's the whole like you know the fact that they don't mind just raising prices during the fucking pandemic because they can and mainstream media is just like yeah well that's market cap forces at work it's like no that's companies making record record profits during a pandemic like they yeah this

i this drives me fucking crazy that it's just like market forces is a get out of like morality term that they're just gonna use to fuck people over like forever and like this is that is that makes me so mad for some reason canceling the reservations of the people who play because like that could never be me i could never be the person who was like oh the thing's coming up in a year like this this would be a great experience for my kids uh i'm gonna book it a year in advance and we'll like plan this thing like that is i look on those people like they are fucking professional yeah yeah i would never that would never be me how you're you're amazing you are yeah you should benefit i feel like though jack if you did put in that effort and then a fucking hotel canceled on you you would be the main character in one of those like uva bowl falling down yeah like it would be yes i would be

it would be over for these hoes in the hotel industry these hotels i'm burning it down yeah yeah i would be so angry i'm so mad i've never been so mad on behalf of like complete strangers who just like kind of got screwed out of like some money yeah but well i guess they got screwed out of the whole thing because like now all the hotels are booking up and so they're just like without reservations i mean at the very least like if in the most cynical version they should be like hey man we're thinking about canceling your reservation somebody just offered us a fucking bag for your really comfortable your double twin room that you you bought you want to match maybe yeah you know giving you first refusal on this one the other one that your people are probably more likely to fall victim to is the fake ass eclipse glass.

Fake eclipse glasses, which will damage your eyes. Yeah. So basically you need, if they don't clearly state on the glasses that they have, quote, international organization for standardization, ISO 12312-2 certification. Do not buy those for your kids yeah and you make sure it's that dash two not the dash one you don't want to yeah yeah that one just means oh dash one no that will accelerate the damage to your eyes yeah i don't even know you actually won't have eyebrows or eyelashes gonna burn it all off yeah holy shit yeah back in 2017 amazon recalled sketchy eclipse glasses sold through their site but they did it just two days before the eclipse and ended

up facing a class action lawsuit so there nobody's gonna save you from capitalism this is the message of this eclipse i mean yeah yeah eclipses have set off like big historic events but in the past maybe this this will cause it cause us to overthrow capitalism so something activates the whole country's manchurian candidates that just like what destroy our masters i it just reminds you too of just like in like the height of the pandemic when everyone's like oh yeah these are these n95s i got, man. I got these. Oh yeah. In fact,

they were not. They were not N95s. If they are not NIOSH approved or whatever, you're like, holy shit, here we go. And people are just like,

He's like, hey, what do I know? It says, all I'm saying, T, is that these people keep saying DEI when it sounds like they really want to say a different word. But fuck do I know? And someone pointed out this would actually be a sill line and i do believe

that this feel more of like a sylvia odante line than a poly walnuts line so i will agree but i agree with at gabagool marks thanks for that one gabagool marks uh tweet i've been enjoying from the ben keeps the florist at limitless just tweeted tweeted, That's me on the toilet.

DIY instrumental with, like, really dreamy vocals over it. I don't know. It just kind of has a very interesting vibe. It's Where Are You by 54 Ultra.
