I hate this hacker crap. That was courtesy.

If you current do that on television, you current, you truly cannot current current current on the discord saying, sorry, got to try resubmitting this one more time just because Jack keeps saying that classic Jurassic Park quote can't stop, won't stop. It's a problem try resubmitting this one more time just because jack keeps saying that classic jurassic park quote

can't stop won't stop uh it's a problem that i'm working on oh yeah with my therapist uh i'm jack that's miles hold on to your butts and this is holding uh this is something that is trending this is something that's holding on to your butts oh, no. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Jack, we were doing such good work. Yeah. Hold onto them. Hold onto your butts or your bands. In Florida... Bands.

There's a reparations ban? Okay, look. This is a bunch of nonsense. There's a state senator there who previously tried to outlaw giving water to people that are in line to vote. He also filed a bill in february called the ultimate cancel act yeah i remember that we talked about that that was the ultimate cancel act to eliminate the democratic party um because they included slavery as part of its

platform and you're like wait what okay nice try anyway so what happened is here this senator blaise ingoglia uh wants to end the debate over whether reparations should be paid to descendants of slaves so basically saying like we're going to outlaw it in the state constitution and this uh basically would be a like be a resolution that would be on the 2024 ballot um where people could approve a constitutional amendment quote prohibiting any government in florida from paying reparations to certain individuals which is so fucked up this is so bad and then it goes on to say individuals those individuals include anyone with an ancestor who was quote an enslaved individual who has, who lived in the United States before December 6th, 1865.

Um, so yeah, trying to get out ahead of it. Yeah. In Boglia. Certain individuals. Oh man. Trying to freeze that like at the current level of popularity,

because it feels like maybe it might be more popular in the future. Is that. Probably. I mean, as more people are like even being like, yeah, what about land? What about the land back movement back movement what about there's a lot of you know look not a lot of people can deal with their you know settler colonial history uh in a constructive way so look this

is a way to just ban it completely just put in the constitution we're not gonna fucking talk about that yeah yeah sorry certain individuals inhabited this land for millennia before the europeans arrived but certain individuals uh who shall not be named that is such a wild i don't even is it a euphem what what is the point of that just legally the ticks. Smooth it over. Just nice and smooth. Taylor Swift is trending just perpetually. It's always trending. But right now she's trending because a priest

is warning her about her love of demons. That's not the vibe I get from her. Trend onto your butts, y'all, because when I play the powerful words of this priest. Hold onto your butts. Hold onto your butts y'all because when i play the powerful words of this priest hold on to your butts hold it yeah hold on to your butts hold on to your butts hold on to your butts uh you you will probably rethink you know your love of taylor swift or the eras tour any of

that where are we coming from where's this priest coming from is this in brazil i know she had a oh no no this this priest is coming straight out of the United States of America. Good old fashioned Catholic fucking demonic fear mongering. Miles, I know you're being a little tongue in cheek on this one, but if you've got a problem with this guy, why don't you go ask his boss, the Pope? Incredibly talented and influential artist. And so the demons will take deep note of what she's doing and how she's doing it and who she's influencing. And so when they imitate these rituals with these orbs and these black capes that looks like something you'd find in the woods her intent was not to practice any witchcraft.

So this is where it like he goes on and i'm like what are you talking about three question mark from super producer brian on looked like something you would find in the woods okay is this guy a priest he looks like a roadie who got kicked off a warp tour he is a red face he's got that face that like the head of a person who has not has not had a woken up without a hangover in the past like 40 years just like puffy ass head and um clearly very into taylor swift oh he's like she like the fact that he had to do the aside where he was, like, very talented. Very talented.

Like, very, oh, my God, like, amazing. He's seen the polling. Like, I love, I love him. He's seen the polling. Yeah. Yeah. You can't, you can't attack Taylor and then get your Jesus message through. Right.

And also, like, I love it. It's, like, it's actually irrelevant to the demons. They're actually gonna take note of her influence. And I'm, like, where exactly are the bylaws of demonic practices and rituals? Dude's just hanging out in the waiting room from Beetlejuice, just taking notes, just having a chat with the demons. They actually don't care about that. I just talk to them. Right.

Is there something in the Bible that's like, and Jesus told his disciples, beware of those who practice demonic rituals and wearing black capes that look like something out of the woods out of the woods is the best part though because it's like i thought he was gonna say like out of a you know like one of like an eyes wide shut like sex party or like black mass or something from the bible maybe he took that shit all the way back to like the fucking puritanical days where everyone was just like, don't go in the woods where there be witches there. Yeah.

It's like something out of the woods is so funny to me. I mean, it also just sounds like, too, like 80s satanic panic, where it's like, and kids are doing, they're just fucking around in the woods with their demonic shit. It's like, that's what it's a reference to, like, kids doing around in the woods with their demonic shit it's like that's what it's a reference to like kids doing stuff in the woods looks like something out of the woods also suggests that like this is what you find in the woods like everywhere like the second you just go to the wood

oh you are going to find people in black cloaks uh doing black magic yes Yes, you will. Yes, you will. It's very scary. I'm sorry, have you been to the woods? I have. Because it seems like you're a city slicker and you're not spending a lot of time walking through the woods, which I also do not do because I do not want to be tempted by Satan.

Yeah, just walking through. Hey, kids, I know your intent is to not summon the demons, but just so you know, it's irrelevant to the demons. They're here and they're paying attention. You have their attention. They're looking at you and they're jacking off.

I'm sorry. That's not me. I'm not talking about myself when I watch the Taylor Swift concert film. She's so talented. Yeah. Anyways. They try it. That's this week in Taylorlor swift uh demon miles we need

to check in with the catholic church more often man this shit is amazing dude it's so i mean if you want to it's constantly like i look i do occasionally like see what's happening in the church it's like every fucking week there's some you know person of the cloth clergy person who's like going to jail for some kind of sex abuse yeah okay never mind scratch that idea we should not be checking him i mean just to reinforce the idea of like you know are these really the people we need to be taking our fucking you know cues from about morality and not quite sure on the one hand that institution seems really fucked up based on journalism and news reports on the other the way he talks it

seems like he has a close personal relationship with the demons with the demons with said demons uh maybe we should just kind of keep our enemies close you know what i'm saying absolutely um all right doritos uh has created a Dorito silencer, which I was hoping was going to be like a large conical, like something between a blow tube and like a handgun silencer, but it's just a piece of software that removes the sound of chewing from voice chats, Zoom, or any calls that use headphones. It should be a little tiny bucket you put on your mouth like this,

and it has a Dorito-sized slot that you can slide your chip into. Right. And then, but then no crunch. It just makes a little sound like a... I mean, I guess, really, it's all reverberating through your jaws and stuff, too, so I feel like you'd have to wear some kind of like Bane, like lower half mask to actually, yeah.

But like a puffier Hannibal Lecter mask. Yeah. Yeah. I, so those are our notes for you, uh, Doritos. And honestly,

the demons don't care if it, what it, like, if it's a piece of software or, uh, a cool Hannibal Lecter mask. So you might as well go with the cool one. Yeah.

Then the whole thing is to appeal to gamers. Cause they're like, don't you hate it when you're playing online and someone just crunching in your ear? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

I don't know. We, we invented something like this for us, uh, for me in particular, I guess, super producer, Justin super producer,rian created a uh

eating wet spaghetti filter because i'm constantly just swapping up some wet spaghetti just noodles whipping around my mouth as i suck suck them in it is odd how you also want to thrash your heads yeah like you're back and forth like all right and brian says no but actually the apples uh i do eat a lot of apples i do apologize to brian uh i'm like a fucking horse over here yeah um you know i need i need me apples to give me a little treat to get through you've been good here's an apple and here's an apple jack yeah um oh all right uh let's take a quick break yeah come back and talk about some other news stories we'll be right back i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit netflix documentary series dancing for the devil the 7m tiktok cult and i'm cleo, 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 vs. 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 plex is something i've been hearing about from you in particular i believe yeah yeah yeah so plex is an app that allows you to stream content licensed by plex but also to

uh consolidate videos from computers and servers uh and like street that you own that you own that you own has to be videos that you that you own you've like bought a copy of and you can't share those then with other people can you well this is the thing it's like one of those things where you can be you know like they're the legal use of it is you own these files these video files music files whatever and you're streaming them like of it is you own these files, these video files, music files, whatever, and you're streaming them like to other devices you own, like in your household. The way it gets tricky is if you are then opening up that server for other people to enjoy, and then it gets murky because I know you're asking me like, how is this legal? It's like,

yeah, it's legal because right now the premise is that it has a very legal use which is for your own things and then it can be you can expand maybe the definition of your household to include other people who might have access to your server and that presupposes exactly maybe everybody's in your family maybe we're all just one big human family exactly under god under god thank you that will not help you in court you know plex is doing the thing that all media companies seem to like they've felt the call they felt the pull to be like well like what if we were like the everything company what about like social what if we yeah what if we were like a social media company like what if we so like this is the this is the move you do before banking i guess like this is that they'll be offering to

open savings accounts um pretty soon but right now they're like all right we think you should be uh we think we should be a social media market um via this new service called discover together which allows users to create profiles and find and follow friends in order to discover new shows or movies to watch that sounds innocent yeah i mean i mean like you gave a fuck like this would have been a good idea if they had come up with it five years before letterboxd existed and then they could like get to the idea of letterboxd which again already exists um but so they explained it was to like lay the groundwork for plex to become more than just a streaming hub oh yeah wants to become a streaming community as well miles we're not just a company we're a family okay a streaming community is what this is

yeah so now we will just tell people what you've been watching yes so the rollout didn't go super well uh flex users got week in review emails showing what they and their friends had just watched uh and a lot of people were um quote horrified at the quote invasive nature of the future because people were people were getting tallies showing them how much soft core porn their friends were watching hey it's on my server what i didn't that is wild too yeah like i don't even like on spotify i remember people were like like back and when spotify was early and you could like actually listen to what people were listening to and people were like putting me on blast for like listening to some weird pop music whatever and i was like well fuck you i don't need you to

fucking like this is my shit need your fucking commentary on what i do for my own enjoyment so i can do that anymore on spotify i stopped using spotify so i can people not try like watch what you're listening oh yeah there's ways that you can make it like private so no okay no one says although i don't have the time i forget but that's also because i go between apple music and spotify but anyway yeah like just this sort of thing is like i oh my god i'd be i don't need people knowing how much fucking reality shows i'm watching on plex let alone if i'm watching emmanuel in space is that a soft core porn dude emmanuel was like one of those weird like euro based ones that would also come on

red shoe diaries yeah yeah yeah um but uh person said I can see that one of my friends is apparently watching a ton of cheesy soft core porn stuff soft porn stuff think classic skinamax fair first of all I don't appreciate the editorializing that it's cheesy yeah go ahead

it's art from some server it's not mine okay me thanks thou dost protest too much or plex channel and i am 100 sure they would be mortified to know that i know this or they are like the people who come to the door when they order a domino's pizza with their pants off yeah i think you i think you have an argument if you're watching a lot of Red Shoe Diaries, you can be like, bro, you think I was popping off to that? No, man, I was fucking I was doing like a critical analysis.

Why would I spend three days straight watching every episode not for my own gratification? It's because this is an analysis I was trying to do. And that would maybe seem like if you're like punctuating your thing with a Skinamax here and there. But also, the internet has a lot more to offer if you're looking for titillating visuals.

Some titillation. I'm just interested for the titillation. I do... I'm interested. Can we get streaming numbers on soft core porn because like that's what uh 365 days was was like soft core porn um even a little yeah even a little harder than like soft core like you know it was like yeah yeah yeah it was firm core porn it Yeah, yeah. Firm tofu. Yeah, yeah. But I don't know.

So the problem was that the feature is opt out. So people can cancel the service, but existing users were all signed up automatically and their behavior is being reported to their friends without their awareness, which is a true internet nightmare. Oh, my weekend review's ready oh yeah uh-oh brian you're in trouble it's brian looking at some wild shit i actually did watch something embarrassing on plex i downloaded that uh squid game reality show thank you for getting ahead of it thank you for getting ahead of it sir because i didn't want to give netflix the stream so i just down wait were you

looking are you looking at brian's we had the activity yeah because look allegedly so you know sometimes i can see what my man is up to but yeah that was the first episode and my god it was yeah you've just been faithfully watching the squid game show it was bad and i watched the whole season the plex is like guys we warned people with emails that's their defense that's so wild because like email you don't ever assume that i've read your email. Never tell me something over email. Email stopped being a thing that you could guarantee people saw. You are in a sea of fucking bullshit and just nonsense. I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I have 15 emails from Plex just in November that I didn't even open.

I have 15 emails from Plex just in November that I didn't even open. Yeah. Like once you are a company that sends people emails that they, that like, if you have a open rate of like under 50%, like you can guarantee they have total blindness. They're just not looking at checking for your emails. So. It's wild too.

I'm looking at the email that again, an unread email from plex and the way it starts off it's not almost being like hey y'all your privacy might be at risk it's just the the subject is let's discover together and then it tells you like what can we do how it works and then at the very bottom before you get to like like the the end point of the email it says no you're always in control it's up to it's up to you which of your activities your friends can see on plex read the blog here like it doesn't even tell you that you have to opt out it's more it's like hey man if you're trying to if you're worried about that here go to this blog post when you're opening your email with like let's discover together and

just like generic feel good shit like that you might as well be like one of those label. Like we, we have this corn snack we like in my household called love corn. Um, and the label has the word, Hey, just so you know, we're deliciously crunchy corn, love corn PS, find love in the little things,

salt and vinegar. And then like all the information on it, but that's the name of the product is like a sentence and a half. It's, uh, I'm just, Oh yeah. It's like a sentence and a half. It's, uh, I'm just, Oh yeah. It's like on every bag.

Yeah. Like all the bags these days, like all the, like kind of feel goody. Um, this is totally natural. Like they want to have a conversation with you. Yeah.

And it's just like, I can't, I can't like even, I can't. What are you? Are you like corn nuts or you like popcorn? Yeah. It's actually like softer corn nuts. It's kind of nice. Oh, I need that, I can't like even, I can't. What are you? Are you like corn nuts or you like popcorn? Yeah. It's actually like softer corn nuts.

That's kind of nice. Oh, I need that man. Sometimes you'll eat a fucking corn nut and like, it'll send one of my like teeth into my skull. Cause it's so fucking hard. Yeah. It's not good.

Um, yeah, these are, these are fun. Uh, and you can get a little salt and vinegar, um, on there on that ass um okay anyways

uh plex he you know maybe opt people out and then they can they can join if they want to but then we can't get the numbers about can't get that number of the new feature so we can up our valuation by being valued don't you work in software man no? No one will fucking opt in. Talk out. Be valued like a social media company. 10x. Like, wait, if you make a dollar, your valuation goes up by a billion dollars.

Exactly. When you're a social media company. Exactly. All right. Well, those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon.
