oh oh oh yeah you might you just you might just did get hit with a Rico. Wow. Wow. Oh, boy. Trump got it locked like Jamaican hair. He thought he did. He about to get locked up like Jamaican hair. Okay. Yeah. Nobody told him we're on summer vacation.

Don't nobody do anything illegal. Exactly. Like the Drake lyric probably one of his worst bars ever but hey hey hey we do what we can't yeah this podcast going forward just a note to the listeners will require

a knowledge of the song Rico by Meek Mill and Drake yeah just know that when people go what the fuck is that thing they just keep that annoying fuck that's what go what the fuck is that thing they just keep that annoying fuck that's what we're playing okay just saying we might just get hit with oh you might just get hit with that rico charge that's true dude the felonies just are stacking for this guy 91 he is putting up numbers 91 felonies. 91 at the garden? That's 91 at the garden right now?

I mean, this is an all-time record for a president. Nine more, it would be an all-time record for an NBA player in a single game. They were points for sure. He's topping Kobe

numbers right now. Yeah. It's, uh, so we're going to talk a little bit more about it on tomorrow's episode, but the, absolutely. These ones feel different. These last 13,

they really, it was like a weird escalating thing. How these rolled out where the first one was like stormy Daniels and like that felt the least impactful. We know about that um and there's also there's no real no there's no real possibility of jail time even if he's convicted with that one so it's like okay fine but these this one feels like the climactic indictment of the president um and many others down in Georgia.

These are different, as people are pointing out, because he can't really pardon himself in Georgia assuming the charges actually stick and he is president. The National Review, because I always like to go and see what's everybody else saying? The mainstream take is this is bad. Yeah.

How's he good? He's going to run for president while defending himself against 91 felony indictments. Um, that seems hard. It seems like he's going to be busy. Uh, the,

the national reviews take is like, you know, this is all smoke and mirrors, folks. This is they don't got anything. This is just a political play. Oh, yeah. Everybody's trying to everybody's trying to make a name for themselves. So they're questioning whether they said, you know, a conspiracy they could probably prove because he didn't get away with it um so like conspiracy was what i think some people were expecting uh would not have been as fun because we wouldn't have gotten to have this drop now no it has to be a rico charges yeah

on on fox they're saying there's nothing illegal about asking questions which is the thrust now y'all are running out of gas very rapidly here's a here's a fucking creature we have not really talked about recently remember the governor of georgia brian kemp that fucking goon we used to talk about a lot he's been pretty quiet well he just came out because he's the governor of georgia and trump's been like i will completely be exonerated blah blah dude brian kemp just came out and said the 2020 election in georgia was not stolen for nearly three years now anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward under oath and prove

anything in a court of law and goes on to just kind of be like you're not going to find any help from over here so i don't know we'll see what happens uh jenna ellis who is the one lawyer who you know apparently has made up you know they've all made fools of themselves she's now just out here saying jesus is going to save her from being convicted there we go so that's where we're at in her cycle of acceptance uh here and the other thing we've heard, though, too, is that the Trump PAC may not be covering her legal expenses. And that's because she spoke positively about Ron DeSantis. So if that's true, again, that's alleged. I'm not sure exactly if that's true or not.

But just wild to see how that lack. There's no loyalty fucking anywhere. And even Trump's like, I need you to have my back but fuck it you were backing decentis little rob decentis then guess what you don't get any of my pack money for your legal fees it's uh we've seen it time and time again you hate to see it but anybody who thinks they're going to get any sort of loyalty from him he he is a black he is a one-way street he is a black hole that demands loyalty demands resources uh no he's not giving much out though yeah that never has um if you if you go back and do a little research into his career oh yo oh hold on jenna

ellis man the quotes get better and better with these fucking craven just diabolical people jesus shake the wheel is not something they teach you in driver's ed like that's not an actual way that you should be driving i mean her first her first thing was quote the democrats in the fulton county da are criminalizing the practice of law i am resolved to trust the lord and i will simply continue to honor praise and serve him i deeply appreciate all my friends who have reached out offering encouragement and support. Okay, that works. I don't know if they teach you that in law school.

But she has another bit of a theory as to why she is part of this indictment. And political idea of corporate guilt. Derek Chauvin is white. George Floyd is black. So Chauvin is implicitly and automatically guilty of racism. So he must be punished he must be made to pay for the sins of white people collectively oh okay so that wasn't that wasn't her talking about this uh it seems like some necessary context though that was her take on

uh derek chauvin derek chauvin the man who murdered george floyd uh was saying that he was sacrificed to quote pay for the sins of white people collectively so i like that i guess yes that is good context to see how accountability is viewed through this specific lens which is one paying for the sins of white people collectively that's what it is folks that's why i had to try and overthrow an election um all right so uh we'll we'll be we'll be continuing to keep our eye on the most indicted president. Is there somebody facing more indictments currently in the United States? I'd be interested to know. Like El Chapo. I'm not joking.

Like, right. No, for real. Like who, who else is facing 91 felony indictments? Uh, let's see.

Or felony charges. Um, yeah, I don't know. We'll have to, I think it's going to take some digging. But I mean, obviously, as president, nobody's come fucking close. Yeah, nobody's gone.

Yeah. So in some ways, it's impressive. All right. Let's talk about the blind side. The weight savior family movie. Dude, El Chapo only had 10 counts of a superseding indictment i guess he was really simple with what he did you know what i mean pretty straightforward yeah okay anyway sorry the blind side yes the blind side yeah wasn't it the toy family i think they're tooie yeah

yeah michael or so if y'all remember one of the OG white savior films, the blind side about the guy, Michael Orr, who's a football player, got adopted by this white family. And then like, they supported him all the way to his professional career. He is out here suing the family that quote unquote adopted him because he said it was not an adoption at all.

He said he was like duped into signing paperwork on his 18th birthday that he believed were adoption papers that were like made him part of their family but he was put under a conservatorship jesus and what britney spears was under yes where they had control like full control uh sorry to bring up janet jackson but anyway full control over everything uh and now what he's saying he's claims that the family basically took all the proceeds from the film for themselves and he's asked out he hasn't seen a dime of it one of the sons has come out and was like hey i get it if i were him i'd be mad too all we got was 14 grand that came out of the author's side of the deal or whatever um but he's claiming that there could be more money not sure exactly

what's going on there we got white saviors we got conservatorships we got royalties it's like very in the zeitgeist right now yeah they got he's claiming they the family got fourteen thousand dollars for that movie he he's claiming that the guy who wrote the book was like michael lewis or someone who wrote the book the blind side basically his from like when they i guess when they bought the rights to it he cut them in on his end of it like he gave them what he got and so that ended up being like 14 grand a person interesting well another one we'll be keeping our eye on but it seems like a mess there there was also somebody who was like i hope that the judicial system shows them all the kindness and consideration that they show to wait staffs in the town where they live so that

could either mean like the wait staffs really love the toy family right and uh you know they're really nice to everyone that didn't seem to be the implication but we'll see yeah i like that there are people on twitter being like sandra bullock needs to come up off that oscar it's like well hold on that's fine uh but hey i hope i hope i mean if that's true like that's really that's just so fucked up like the layers of fucked up yeah i mean like whatever the money was on the movie like did they get a big chunk of the money from his contract? I don't know. That's the thing.

I'm curious exactly what all the legal parts are here. But like, because at first, like my cynical thing is like, I don't know, maybe this guy didn't have his shit together. And then he realized he left a lot of money on the table when the movie came out. And then he's trying to find somebody to sue or which is also believable. These people just straight up were like, yeah, so you're a cash cow. Sign this paperwork. And now, like, we can actually decide to put you in some kind of facility if we want, because we have total control over here, like medical everything. Yeah.

All right. We'll see. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to come back and have a whole culinary segment. We'll be right back. culinary segment. 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.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Substance use disorder and addiction is so isolating. And so as a black woman in recovery, hope must be loud. It grows louder when you ask for help and you're vulnerable.

It is the thread that lets you know that no matter what happens you will be okay when we learn the power of hope recovery is possible find out how at startwithhope.com brought to you by the national council for mental well-being shatterproof and the ad council and we're back and uh you know our regular listeners will know we're kind of foodies around here oh i pay attention to the finer culinary arts and uh we got a couple stories coming bing bang boom uh about the world of high dining um high dining in some cases uh so mcdonald's new mcflurry is getting raves miles yeah i've had it okay the peanut butter crunch mcflurry the peanut butter crunch mcflurry this is the thing i hate about capitalism is like i have my guilty pleasures

like this and then i get excited and then i'm ending up making free fucking ads for mcdonald's but i have to tell people look i have a problem especially with breakfast brian knows brian also has a problem with mcdonald's breakfast we just can't kick this shit but the fucking so i went for a mcflurry regular and i saw that they got this new peanut butter crunch shit i said okay let's let's try it out it's it's pretty good it's like it it's it's crispy it's uh it's not like sometimes when i think of like like remember remember when they used to be the butterfinger mcflurry back in the day but you know butterfinger has that way of just staying in

your teeth like in the crevices of your teeth? Which I love. Like when you just chew on it. I get a sweet treat every time I lick my molars. Yeah, exactly. You know, for hours. It's what you like to do every night. You go to bed with a fully intact Butterfinger in your mouth. Stuck to my teeth.

So you have sweet dreams, as my buddy Kev would say. But anyway, yeah, it's like, I'm happy with it, for sure. Yeah. I went back a second time yeah i was so the the ingredients are um peanut butter cream cookies fudge coated peanut brittle uh chocolate peanut butter yummy chow yummy chow and peanut butter cereal squares and the writer for the takeout said that the overall effect is like you've had a handful of reese's puff cereal like crunched up into your yeah ice cream that tracks that track but i want a little more like real chocolatey chocolate in there. Yeah. Mine. So, and I'm going to be fully transparent here.

When I ordered it the first time I got it with, uh, Oreos too. Cause I was high and I said, yo, let me get the Oreo and the peanut butter crunch in there. And God was like, say less.

Uh, so I may have, I may have muddled it a bit, but those elements are absolutely there and i realized oh what they're talking about yummy chow that's uh that's what we call puppy chow yeah puppy chow yeah mud whatever mud buddies mud buddy muddy buddies i think is what they depending on where you are yeah with a check anyways yeah i i'm intrigued i'm excited to try it it does feel like the food food critics um when when they write about

mcflurry's it's oftentimes pretty glowing like i think the last new mcflurry we talked about was the strawberry shortcake which i never got never got my mouth on oh yeah um i just cook the cookie pie i'm not gonna lie that's an l if you that oreo cookie pie they have it's fuck it's a fucking l i'm sorry oh wow shit is not good it's like that completely misses the mark is that a mcflurry or no it's like a it's like their apple pie but it's like oreo sort of cookie crust and in the middle it just looks like a trough of goo which is like the cream and so like when you eat it it's like it's so chemically flavored it tastes like overly chemically which coming from a guy who eats taco bell all the time should give you an idea of like where the fuck the bar is at yeah um all right next food item yes dunkin donuts wants

to get you hammered oh no if you live in boston i don't know if they're going to see much take up from this offer though because bostonians famously not not a big group of drinkers yeah they like heroin from the movies i've seen that's right um but this is a it's called duncan spiked um and it's it's not actually going to be served at a duncan donuts which kind of gets in the way of the promise, as far as I'm concerned, of this. Which is to just bring the atmosphere of a Boston bar into the atmosphere of a Boston Dunkin' Donuts. Which I would enjoy experiencing at the remove of viral videos uh as they rolled in but um it's just like i like they're like you can start and end your day with duncan no the fuck i will not and like so it's spiked iced tea and spiked iced coffee i don't know y'all yeah they're trying to kill us they're trying to kill us trying to kill you boston but like that doesn't

conceptually doesn't appeal to me like i've never reached for a hard tea in my life or fucking like you know sure you have like baileys and coffee or something but that's like like you know fucking maybe once a year type shit not oh i can't wait to have a culotta with malt alcohol i mean like yeah what the fuck are we gonna do yeah me somebody who went through a period where i really liked uh stimulants and alcohol i still like there's something about like irish coffees that just like made me feel like i had the flu like i was just like god oh like the sensation yeah just like i just felt like tired but also like weird like i don't know my heart wasn't tired but the rest of my body was um so i never really fucked with that that much um no it's that's a that's such an acquired taste but

i don't know folks i don't know if y'all are that into it. I have to ask Jamie Loftus, who famously will try a spiked alcohol type thing. And then with the intersection of Dunkin' Culture, I wonder if that gets her off her donkey for that. Yeah, I think it probably will. So, I think we'll be monitoring this. The police will be monitoring this. Oh, yeah, absolutely. It'll only be available in 12 states

because any more than that, we'd be looking at potential anarchy in the streets. Yeah, exactly. That plus the rich men north of Richmond is actually those are the seeds of revolution, folks. That's right.

I don't say that lightly, but it is. Yeah. America, as Super Producer Brian put it, America loves being wide awake drunk. Right. Exactly. I like to be browned out, but look fully aware. Yeah.

Just wide-eyed. Yeah. Wide-eyed in a blackout. Wide-eyed blackout. America runs on Duncan. Not necessarily in a straight line, though. You know? They're curving around.

And we'll save the story about fucking in the back of robo-taxis for another day. But just so you know, that's what we call a tease. Yeah. You're going to love it, folks. You're going to love it. Trust me. Those are the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you tomorrow. Bye. Bye.
