And he brings along his very good friend, a special guest host, one that all of you listeners have grown to love and respect, one of the faces on Mount Zeitmore. I am very honored to introduce to you our guest host, the scam goddess herself, Miss Lacey Mosley.

Hey, guys. It's Lacey Mosley, a.k.a. Scam Goddess, a.k.a. Yo Venmo. Soy un estafador. I'm a scammer, baby. So why don't you pay me? And that is from Ruthie Fudge.

Thank you, Ruthie Fudge. That's basically I'm a loser, baby. Yeah. It's all about Venmo and scamming. You don't know Beck. But also people need to know your brand. It's about scamming people on Venmo. Yeah.

And we are honored to have in our third seat one of my favorite guests, actually personally to have on the show. Very talented stand-up comedian, podcaster, sports fucking genius. Please welcome to the show, Erin Foley. Hey. How are you? I don't have a song. It's okay.

Some people don't need songs. I could scat, but then everybody would lose interest. Are you a big jazz vocalist? Oh, just in the off-season. Yeah, yeah. The off-season. You go to the Baked Potato, you might catch you doing a set over there. The sultry sounds of Aaron Foley.

Does anybody here travel? Do some crowd work while standing. Well, Aaron, we're going to get to know you even better. But first, we're going to let people know what we're going to talk about today. You know, since Lacey's on, we've got to talk. There's always people maybe scamming, maybe not scamming, maybe they're getting scammed. But we always like to look at certain stories and understand what's really going on. First up is someone who worked for Robert De Niro, who's being sued for $6 million for basically time-wasting professionally, but in a way that I feel deserves everyone's respect.

Then we're obviously going to have to talk about Trump and the presidential race and all that because that's the world we live in. Some other news in the state of California. Some more scams. And I wanted to check in with the bagel boss guy because it's been about 15 minutes and you want to make sure that that the laws of 15 minutes have been abided by or to uh so we will check in i have i did some sleuthing last night and boy uh we've got some some updates for you on mr bagel boss guy uh but first aaron what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are?

This is going to be a shocker. Not for you, because you know me. I googled a picture image of the 1985 U.S. Women's National Team. Okay. Because I was recording a podcast with one of the goalies. Because I was recording a podcast with one of the goalies on, this is the first ever women's national team, which was formed in 1985 when there was no U.S. women's national team. And these women were just fierce, like pioneers. And they went over to Italy for the first time.

That was the first time the U.S. played any international games ever. Now we all take this for granted, which laid the groundwork for the first World Cup in 1991. So I had to get an image of the team for this. It was really cool. Then, of course, it sets you down like big sport wormholes. Well, it does for me anyway. How did they look in the photo?

What did their jerseys look like? Did it look very kind of up and coming? Did they look legit? Well, the crazy story behind the jerseys look like? Did it look very up and coming? Did they look legit? Well, the crazy story behind the jerseys is when they got picked from, whatever, long story short, they had a two-week prep in New York, and they sewed USA patches on old men's jerseys and got paid $10 a day. Wow. Isn't that crazy?

And how many games did they play in Italy? They played, I think they played four. Okay. Yeah. Didn't win any. I think they won one, lost three, or tied. But it was, yeah, that was, isn't that crazy? They went to Gessolo, Italy.

Yeah. Lost to Italy. Tied Denmark. Yeah, I think it was one. Lost to England. Lost to Denmark. Yeah, it was one tie in three. But that was the original team. Right.

And was it just a lot of collegiate players? Yeah, pretty much all collegiate players. There was some club activity, but it was pretty much the best of the best. They did it by region, by like north, south, east, and west. I bet you they probably couldn't even recruit the best of the best though with that kind of time frame and trying to do like the entire country like i could have probably got on that team if you showed up well they probably would have known maybe it's the first one i could have probably been riding a bench or something well what you

would have to do is pull up with a lot of confidence like i'm hurt right now but when this knee gets right. Y'all give me some of them patches to sew on. I'm going to sew these patches while y'all bending like Beckham. But then I'm going to get in this. I'm going to get in this when we go to Italy. I'm going to be like, you know Pele? Yeah.

I'm like, Pele-less. But you can fuck with me. As soon as we get over there, I'm like, look, y'all, I'm going to be eating gelato. But I'm going to get in the game in a minute. What time is the game? Two o'clock. All right. I think I can make it. Still tricky. I think I'm going to sit back the game in a minute. What time is the game? Two o'clock. All right. I think I can make it.

Still tricky. I'm going to sit back, take another bath. Yeah. Some of the players went on to be, like Michelle Akers was on the team, which you can still argue is the greatest player of all time. So it was legit. Maybe not your level, Lacey, but it was legit professional. Right, right, right.

Carla Overback. I mean, some of these now were the greatest players of all time. And Lacey adjacent. Yeah, exactly. And you met one of the goalkeepers, you said? Yeah, I randomly went to a game a couple months ago, and there was a big celebration. They were playing at the LAFC Stadium. Bank of California.

Yeah. It's such a gorgeous stadium. It's so awesome. California. Yeah. It's such a gorgeous stadium. It's so awesome. And they had a 99er and U.S. Women's National Team celebration at the bar we were at before the game upstairs.

And I snuck into, too long of a story. Oh, I love a good sneak. I sneak, I snuck in. We respect that here. And I met this woman, Ruth Harker, who was the backup goalkeeper on, and she gave me her bracelet. And then we kept throwing bracelets down and I got all my friends up and it turned into a drunken night of me screaming at you guys from the snatch.

You did the thing where you got the one bracelet and Jesus Christ, the VIP, you turned one bracelet into multitudes. Yes. Oh yes, that's how it works. Now wait, did they think you were a soccer player? Because you're pretty fit, Erin. I see you coming in being like, yeah, where the rest of it? I was on the 1985 team.

They didn't have paperwork back then. They had paperwork on everybody. I mean, you could Google it. The photo grainy as fuck, but that's me. Yeah, yeah. I was back up, back up, back up. No, I didn't play at that level, but I knew a bunch of people because I do a sports podcast where I interview female athletes.

So I was kind of like, I knew enough people to work it. Yeah. But full on drop bracelets from all these professionals. I love that. For my drunken friends. It was the greatest night of my life. Love a free bar too. Yeah.

What's something that's overrated? This is going to spark controversy, but it's not that bad. Getting rid of plastic straws. No, I don't. I agree. Get rid of all plastic then. Don't take my straws away., I agree. I get rid of all plastic then. Don't take my straws away. Yeah, right.

I will bring my own glass in if I can keep the straw. There you go. Wow. I will literally recycle everything but my plastic straws. There you go. You don't have to whisper. I'm on your same team. I personally, that turtle really fucked up the PR.

It was one motherfucking turtle. And now we got to act like every turtle out here swimming and getting the strongest nose. It's some bullshit. Also, like if you open any Apple product, you have to cut through 97 boxes to get in plastic. And then you talk to Steve Jobs himself to get through the phone.

So like, why can't we get rid of all of this single, it's not even single use plastic when you're talking about packaging. It's just shit to make your shit look nice, but i can't have a straw in my mouth wow thank you i'm switching wow like what is this big plastic energy in the building that's just big paper trying to make like just suck on a soggy straw it's the same shit where you know it's unfortunately it's one of those problems that rather at the industrial level they're passing that problem down to the consumer and be like you know it's actually your fault no no no no sir and then the attitude you get when

you ask for a straw you're looking for a straw and the people behind the counter and i'm like okay listen it's a bigger problem i will i will not use anything but like you know and then they look at you like you're a can i swear. A fucking douche from all hell. Whoa. Because Nancy behind the counter is like, we're at straws. Fucking douche from all hell. I don't think anyone's ever said that on this show. I just had too much cold brew.

Anna gave me more. And now I'm screaming. I'm screaming fucking douche from all hell. I've never said it before about it. It's a tough thing. Because, you know, on one hand, I agree that obviously when you look at like the gyre in the pacific ocean and things like they're like god damn it but then i'm like okay fine i will i will bring my own bags to the store like i'm cutting down on my shit that way right but the fuck y'all have not figured out this paper straw you really have

it has not or the metal where i'm like am i at the dentist can i just can i please have a straw yeah it just it hits my teeth and I go, Oh God, it's like nails on chalkboard. The paper dissolves into your mouth. Then you choke and you almost die. And then the ones without the straw, I'm like,

who's going to play, pay my dry cleaning bill. Cause I dump it all over me. These are, this is a real problem. I think we just need better. Like, yeah,

you know, like I could see you, Aaron having like your own straw, like one that you use all the time. Would you do that if it wasn't yeah you know like i could see you aaron having like your own straw like one that you use all the time would you do that if it wasn't you know metal and or you'd like the disposable if i have to i can reuse my straw you know like figure it out remember how like back in the 90s every promotional item was a water bottle yes with a fucking thick ass straw on it like that straw from that water bottle. Could you rock that infinitely maybe? Completely.

Okay, so we're finding a middle ground, you know? I don't know. I mean, I don't want to. I wanted to say no, but he was so positive and he's such a nice guy. The only reason I'm gonna say no is because I know

there's somebody behind this straw shit and it ain't the goddamn environment because America ain't never been this thoughtful about shit, okay? It's the reason why literally plastic is everywhere, but except for straws, like who is big paper? Who shit. Okay? It's the reason why literally plastic is everywhere. But except for straws.

Like, who is big paper? Who's behind this? Who's making the coin off this limp ass straw? I'm tired of sucking limp straw. Wow. Preach. We are now really good friends. At least we are.

Yo, Aaron, I like you. As soon as you said the bracelet thing, I said, oh, yes, a scammer. I love me a scammer. Well, you know, one person might say scammer, another person might say someone with infinite generosity. You know what I mean? I have a huge heart that likes plastic straws. Exactly. And you want your friends to join in on the fun with you.

I'm just saying, turtles live for a long time and we need to bring that turtle back out. I want to see that turtle and how it's recovering. I mean, I see more agents with straws in their nose at parties than I do turtles. I'm more worried about that. Hey, here we go. I've seen so many coked up turtles, I can more agents with straws in their nose at parties than I do turtles. I'm more worried about that. Hey, here we go. I've seen so many coked up turtles, I can't even tell you.

Now, I will say most people who are doing cocaine do do it environmentally soundly with either a classy cocaine spoon or their keys. Or your podcast movement lanyard in Orlando. You just said classy cocaine spoon. Oh, yeah. And a host of Yayo. For the record, that was a joke for y'all. It isback joke. You just said classy cocaine smoke. Oh, yeah. Anna Hosni-Yay-yo. For the record, that was a joke for y'all who take everything people say on this microphone for real. Anna's so healthy.

Anna's actually straight edge, which y'all don't know. She has the X's tattooed on her hands, and we Photoshop that out in every photo. Erin, what's the thing that's underrated? Being still. Stopping. Sitting. Go on. Just stillness.

I think our society is like, keep going. Go. What are you doing? Are you busy? How busy are you? You're not busy enough. Right. And that's why you have to be like, how's it going?

Oh, I'm really, I got the, and then you're like, no, how is that valued? Right. Yeah. Stop. Well, yeah, we're so, we are made to be, we've all had to commodify our existence in this era where it's like, well, if you're not doing it, what's going on?

How have you introduced stillness into your life? I've stopped. Great. I've retired. I love it. This is it. I've stopped. This is the last part.

Yeah, this is it, huh? Farewell. I've actually just canceled my three. book. Yeah, this is it, huh? Farewell. I've actually just canceled my three. You didn't write this book, Erin. Just Stop, called I Just Stopped. I force myself now. My girlfriend, she's the greatest human being on the planet. She forces me to stop.

And then now I've just been like, this is ridiculous. I keep doing the same thing. I keep going until my back blows out. What's your pattern though? Like specifically, I literally don't stop until I'm physically injured. I just keep working. I do shows, I do that podcast, travel. I just, and then there's no, and then when I, when I do start incorporating more, just literally sitting and stopping, I feel a hundred times better and everything is better. How do you, so what do you do? Like, do you just sit down, you watch something?

Sometimes. You knit? What do you do? Oh, so much knitting while I'm doing blow. Yeah. They're like, man, these scarves look fucked up though. This scarf is 75 feet. I did it in an hour.

No, I've been trying to do more meditating or literally just sitting in a chair just for like five ten minutes i do watch a lot of sports which i find very comforting because i'm just sitting and meditative when i'm not screaming um but yeah just honestly just talking to myself just being like slow down yeah sometimes i just take like i just go just slow down and i just sit there for a second. Or tell yourself like I've had to work on my own self-talk a lot because part of me used to just flog myself

into doing things and just be like what the fuck is wrong with you? Get the fuck out there. And to be more like hey man. Like being like that cool high school counselor. You doing alright? Or being nicer to yourself. Like the highest life expectancy in the U.S. is people in Mississippi.

And I think it's simply because they just like move slower. They've given up. It is? Yeah. People in Mississippi live the longest. Wow. What about Yorba Linda? They don't have the best education.

Well, that's a blue zone. What about Diamond Bar? Right. But it made me think like, yo, like I definitely think, especially on my Instagram, like I'm constantly moving and going places. But people don't know this. I shut myself up in my house like an 18 definitely think, especially on my Instagram, like, I'm constantly moving and going places. But people don't know this. I shut myself up in my house like an 18th century pregnant woman on bed rest at least once a week.

There you go. I close all the curtains and I just lay there and watch TV. And just take your lot in them. Oh, God. And that's how I get back. That sounds amazing. My energy. I huff my ether rag and everything is fine.

And that's what I call self-care i love that man 18th century pregnant woman self-care um bed rest is my middle name fainting couch you have a fainting couch no i do exactly uh and aaron what's a myth what's something you know people just get wrong you just want to bring the truth out that That clutter is the antichrist. Thank you. Go on. That's it. Are you clutter-shamed? Are you a little messy?

I've been clutter-shamed my entire life. And listen, I know a well-organized clean. Yes, you can think better. Yeah, I get it. But I think some clutter is good. It's good for my brain. equals character yeah i just i don't now it just feels like everything has to be in the exact right spot everything has to be it does it spark joy yeah other stuff happens yeah that empty tissue box sparks joy yes yes a photo of me doing something stupid 30 years ago.

I'm going to keep it. Right. I don't know. I just, I feel like now it's just becoming ridiculous. Sure. And sometimes my desk is really messy and I love it. Right. I'm like, oh yes, this promotional lighter that ran out of lighter fuel, that does spark joy and I will keep that there. Yeah. So do not move it. I don't think, I think we're overthinking.

Also sometimes, because I am very much like now in this organization kick, I have a cleaning man, and he is very aggressive. If you saw my Instagram stories, he'll text me and be like, hey, Lacey, do you need cleaning? And if I don't respond, he's like, hello, cleaning this week or not. Oh, shit. He is very, and then I apologize to him. It's a little bit abusive, but I do. He comes and cleans my house, and then I feel this think i have to maintain it for as long as possible but now i'm losing shit because my brain goes like oh i know

where i saw my tweezers they're on the ground under my bed next to my charger but now i'm putting them away so now i'm like where the fuck are they i lost them for two weeks until i went into my bathroom and went to the place where they should be and that's where they were and i was like we are best friends yeah I can find my stuff. It doesn't look like I can find it but I can find it. I know where everything

is on my floor. Yes. And I sort of absorbed that from my dad who like in his art studio was so fucking messy and my mom was like, I don't know how she does it.

Something's wrong with him. And he was always like, I know where everything is. And then I sort of, I also have that same habit. And I was like, well, know everything is and uh sophie lichterman who works in this office is constantly trying to be like don't you want to like declutter your desk and i'm like what's wrong with it no everything is fine yeah these old time these old people magazines from three years ago i need those there yeah they help balance out my energy as soon as you throw that

shit away you'd be like damn i need it yeah as soon as i know that shit away, you'd be like, damn, I need it. Yeah. As soon as I, no, sometimes when I throw, I guess because I still do sketch acting. Not in magazines. I never buy magazines. I have one magazine. Especially not people. Yeah. Sorry. We're more okay people.

We're more us, we please. We are. Yeah. Well, you know, that's good to know. I think clutter is fine. And, you know, some people, I get it. Some people just need to be organized for their own sanity. And look, do you.

We're all just trying to fucking survive. We just have different methods and styles, baby. I just don't want to be shamed. Right. That's really what it is. Like, I agree less clutter is good, but also some clutter, you know, sometimes you go into a person's house and you're like, where are the dead bodies? This is so clean and ridiculous. You can't assess someone's worth off of their clutter.

I will say that is the kind of man I like to date though. If I go in your house and I'm like, maybe you got bitches chopped up in the freezer. That's how clean you are. Woo! Love that shit. Oh, that's a good thing. I once went into a guy's house and he went away for a little bit. And I took all his shit. End of story. He had this

jar of money. I kid you not. He had this jar of money. I kid you not. He had this jar of money in the kitchen that was just like 50s, 20s, 100s and it was a see-through glass jar.

Where is this story going? He came back out and I was like, yo, why the fuck do you have this see-through glass jar of money in your kitchen? Very specific.

Why do you have this see-through glass jar? And he goes, oh, I got all of those bills off of a movie set. They're fake, but I leave them there to see who will steal from me

and who won't. I was like, what? And you're like, end of date. Yeah, I was like, oh, you are a murderer. You've walked into a sociological experiment.

He was a straight-up murderer, y'all. Why are you looking at my kneecaps for sale? This isn't right, John. Well, let's talk about somebody else who saw a see-through jar of money. An ex, I guess, head of vice president of production for one of Robert De Niro's companies. This woman named Chase Robinson, being sued for fucking $6 million because she was, quote, spending astronomical amounts of time watching Netflix and other various forms of time wasting.

And I'm just going to read you this snippet from Variety because it just tells you everything you need to know about this wonderful employee. The company says she rarely came into the office and alleges she spent, quote, astronomical amounts of time watching Netflix during work hours. The company alleges that during a four-day period in January, she watched 55 episodes of Friends. On one of those days,

she ordered lunch from Caviar San Francisco and had dinner at Paola's restaurant, charging both meals on the company card. Over another four-day period in March, she allegedly watched 20 episodes of Arrested Development and 10 episodes

of Schitt's Creek. I mean, so far, look, it sounds like she's taking care of herself. She likes to laugh. this is a reboot culture and I was only watching 55 Hours of Friends

because I'm trying to make friends with Robert De Niro. Oh, right, right. Robert De Niro's friends. This is what I'm thinking, Robert. You are Chandler Bing. Yeah.

How do you feel about that? How do you feel about that? I don't know. There's a lot going on with, apparently she was constantly, there was a lot of rumors about her that she was involved in corporate sabotage is the word they use in this Variety article.

I don't know exactly what that means, but when you go on, this is what they say. According to the company, they say, watching shows on Netflix was not in any way part of or related to the duties and responsibilities of her employment on information and belief was done for her personal entertainment, amusement, and pleasure at times when she was being paid to work is what the suit alleges. And it also alleges that Robinson made $12,696 in unauthorized charges at Paola's over a two-year period, in addition to $8,900 at Dean and DeLuca and Whole Foods, and $32,000 for Uber rides and taxis.

$32,000 for Uber rides and taxis. My good sis was going on road trips. I mean. She said, y'all trying to go to Vegas? She's losing in the Fitbit pool. Right. Tell you that much. Unless she also had to scam when she put it in the dryer and just let it rotate and get in those

steps like that. Wait, I have a question. Why wasn't she fired on week one? How is this? If you're at a job, right, and I'm always going to cheer for the worker to extort as much money off corporate America as possible. Her salary was $300,000, FYI.

That's what her salary was? $300,000. So I don't understand. Where is the oversight? If someone comes in and they're watching, they documented all the Netflix, but she wasn't fired, I'm sorry that's on them. She started as an assistant to deniro in 2008 and then was promoted to vice president of products of production and finance but that's probably more on the production side i have a feeling right if you look i know people who have

fucked around and embezzled money at companies they don't catch on until like they start realizing there's abnormalities because there's typically they're like oh that person's on the level yeah and then when you start being like hold on man money's going weird places and then you start analyzing shit that's when people start putting it together you have a little bit of a window to fuck around I find this so ridiculous like

productivity and finance she's the most unproductive person and she's spending all the money but where is the who's in charge? That's like she's doing the anti-job. Like if someone hired you to be a security guard, but instead you just stole everything. Right, right, right. Like we hired you to protect our merch and you're stealing it.

No, I'm redistributing it. To my home. Yeah. But what I love about this is that you say she started it as an assistant. Because to me that says that she's probably a real scammer who learned the ins and outs. Like when you start on a lower level, you start noticing where the holes are. Yeah. Like much easier.

So you're like, oh, Robert don't even be looking at these files. Right, exactly. I'll be looking at these files every week. Exactly. Or she's also, and the person that does, I know she's getting fucked up on her job anyway. So if she says something, I'm going to tell Robert that she's fucked up on Xanax all day. But how do you, the documentation, the specificity of 69 episodes of, like, someone had to document that. Yeah.

So you can't just pull that out of your ass. Where do you get that information? Maybe she had a company computer? Does Netflix, I guess, but that's, I'm interested in, like, where you get those analytics. Because can you check your Netflix? She was on De Niro's login. And she must have been on someone's, yeah, I mean, like a true scammer. But like, I'm curious how you even get that information.

It's kind of like the greatest employee story of all time. That's what I mean. I don't know if we should be... And like, I don't know. I always think the greatest way to end a job was that flight attendant at JetBlue when he pulled

the thing, went out the emergency slide with a six pack. Yep. To me, that's the greatest working man story of all time. That's the mic drop-off. This one is second place. This is pretty good. The other part, what about the resignation letter? I mean, it's illegal.

Put the icing on the cake. So she is allowed to resign for some reason. They're not even firing her. I feel like if you're stealing like this, it's got to be like the security guards come get you and put your shit in the box. She probably had De Niro wrapped around her finger. She must have because she got to send in a resignation letter where she disregarded all of these

charges as false and inflammatory. Ridiculous. Ridiculous is as she said. And then she writes herself a letter of recommendation which she gives to Robert De Niro to sign. He declines. However, she's been working

as his assistant for years so she probably just still wrote that letter. I know your signature. Watch this. I was giving you a chance to do the right thing but since you're not going to give me my quill. I got this. My quill. I love that she writes it with a quill.

It's just, all right, another, obviously this is bad behavior. However, again, I'm just amazed at her confidence. Yeah. The audacity. Like her just going through life like, oh, I can do whatever I want. I mean, it's probably one of those things, too. Within the company, people were just taking advantage. Yeah. I mean, I've seen instances of people at, like, an actor's production company when they start their own little boutique production company.

And there's a lot of fucking around sometimes, especially if, like, their friends are involved and things like that. So I wonder if just the culture in there was like, dude, none of these people care. Robert doesn't know. Like, they're pulling in a billion dollars a billion dollars a year through all his business ventures. What's fucking 32K and Ubers? And he's working. Right. And he's working.

So he's probably not there overlooking everybody's shoulder like, what are we working on today? Production company? He's too busy hanging out with anti-vaxxers right now. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And, you know, let's just check in on a couple of things in Trump world. Right now, he's been floating the idea of another tax cut, a payroll tax cut, because despite him saying, hey, economy, V chill, nothing to worry about recession. No way. Ignore Larry Kudlow drunk off his face on TV. I don't see a recession coming any time soon.

And Greenland is going gonna pay for herself they have to now he's now floating a payroll tax cut to juice the economy again because i guess i mean maybe he sees something in the in the writings on the wall but i don't know we'll just put a pin in that and we'll see how that goes now um one thing that's been very interesting is that a lot of the polling showing all kinds of things. Right now, Joe Biden, his national poll numbers are widening. But in different states, it seems like it's much tighter. So we'll see how that goes.

And now he put out a new campaign video that was basically saying, like, look, forget all the shit that's wrong with me. Look at the polls. Everyone thinks I'm the best one to beat Trump. And also Obama was sort of the gist of this entire video. And as we spoke about yesterday, Obama was very much telling him, please don't run, Joe. You don't need to do this. You don't need to do this. He's like talking to Joe Biden like he's like Drake talking to a stripper. Like, you don't have to do this.

Yeah, exactly. I can take care of you. I can take care of you, Joe. She doesn't have to work at the Hooters on Peachtree anymore. So on top of that, as those polls are widening and Biden wants to declare himself the only person to be able to vanquish Donald Trump, we're now also seeing sort of pretty significant changes in Trump's polling as well. Not necessarily in his job approval ratings, because that's always around the same place. Well, not necessarily in his job approval ratings, because that's always around the same same place. It's his disapproval rating that's actually starting to fluctuate a little bit. And I think that's a really good indicator or, you know, at the very least of what people's feelings are towards the president.

I think a lot of people were sort of like, this sucks or whatever. Maybe it's not that great. Maybe it's not that great, but they point to a lot of these, the spikes in the disapproval numbers come after his basically like all out war of words with the squad and all the send her back bullshit and coming after all those freshman Congress people. Also his just terrible handling of the El Paso and Dayton shootings and just all of his inability to lead has sort of led to this point. And a lot of people like, when's he going to show in the numbers? When's he going to show in the numbers? Well, here's the deal. In a Fox News poll, his disapproval rating went up five percentage points to 56%. And in every other demographic, it's basically above 50%. So 64% among independents disapprove of his performance.

53% among men. 46% among white men, 53% of those older than 45, 61% among suburban women, 59% of women overall. And even among Republicans, it's gone up to 11%. And then among self-described conservatives, it's at 26%. So it's weird how even on the right, his just people's sentiment around it is starting to fluctuate. I guess the other interesting poll number to also look at, because it's not just this Fox News poll, Pew, NBC, a lot of the bigger polls also reflect the same sort of jump in his overall disapproval numbers, necessarily not a decrease in his approval numbers.

But there's the idea, too, that people have that in another Fox News poll, 56 percent of voters felt that Trump had either a great deal or some blame for the mass shootings in this country. And 34 percent attributed a great deal of blame to Trump. So, you know, a lot of pollsters are saying, like, maybe this is the turning point. But I think with how skittish people are with relying on polls last time around, it's like, OK, sure, sure. Because let's not forget, the Democrats have also mastered the very fine art of totally fucking things up. So there's also you never you never know what will happen. So, you know, just something to keep your eye on.

We need more Scaramoochies. Right. We need some of these disgruntled people to crawl out of their manholes that were temporarily employed by a dump truck. Right. And to start, you know, wearing down that fabric. Yeah. You know, because the more people that align themselves with him and he was like, oh, this guy's great. Like that helps that chips away, I think, at people's confidence.

But the polls to me, like when I woke up and I saw Kamala, you know, dovetail, I was shocked by that. And then I thought and then it was Biden and Sanders. And I'm like, oh, my God, it's weekend of Bernie's. You know, it's like we're gonna prop these dudes up and and I and I think the gut I think the knee-jerk reaction right now in this country is like everyone is so terrified of losing on the left you know that the two top people are old white men I'm like here we go again you know what what I mean? But I get some of it. I get some of it. Yeah.

Well, that's just sort of the psychology of people just not like. It's fear. It's all fear. What's the safest thing? What's the nailed on guaranteed thing? And I mean, I don't think you could in your wildest dreams say that Biden could withstand this entire race and get to the finish line in the same way, considering like when last week we were talking about how his handlers are like, we actually kind of have to put him on ice from time to time.

Because he starts, when he gets tired, he starts saying all that weird shit that people are like, what? You know, like all those gaffes come out when he's tired. So, you know. Also, he feels that way. Right. No, of course. All of his real opinions keep coming out when he's tired so we just gotta it's like back it's just having a nap y'all yeah well exactly well i mean i'm not gonna say that

i'm against the fear i think that the fear is necessary and the fear that we didn't have the the rested assurance that we thought that hillary clinton was going to become the president is really what screwed us so i want people to stay afraid and panic until the very last second because we need everyone to go to the polls. I want people to be shitting themselves at the polls. And I think before in cases where we saw like John Kerry running against George W. Bush and we were all voting basically for Kerry as a vote against Bush, it didn't galvanize enough votes for him to win that second term.

However, I think because we're dealing with a president who's literally increasing the murder rate of our country, who's galvanizing racists, it's like, look, I'm going to vote for whoever's blue in that white box. If it's Joe Biden, shit, I guess Uncle Joe's just going to have to run the country for four years, goddammit. I don't know. But we don't have a choice. It's not like with John Kerry and George Bush, where it was like, George Bush was an idiot.

And yes, he did a lot of horrible things that really impacted people of color and also just people in general in the United States when it comes to pretty much every side of policy. Yeah, civil liberties, yeah. Yeah. But also financially, too. Like, biggest recession. But in this case, I think that people know that voting is their survival more than it is like, oh, I'm going to be annoyed by having a Republican president in office. It's like, oh, I'm going to have a president in office who's literally going to make going to the grocery store, you know, attempted murder. Like, yeah, something very. Yeah. Yeah. A whole different ballgame.

Yeah. I think there should be no more debates. I think all the Democrat, the 85 Democratic candidates should go in a room and debate, pick two and then come out. Fight club. Total fight club. At first I pick two, and then come out. Fight club. Total fight club. At first, I was like, this is so great. There's going to be so many candidates. We can really break down and talk about environment and women's issues and civil rights. And now I'm like, what?

Oh, I'm totally overthinking it. If your last name isn't Trump, I'm voting for you. Yeah, that's the endgame. So it's like, just pick two. At this point, my bar is so low. I'm panicked on a 24-hour period. I feel close to vomiting. Even Rachel Maddow every night from 6 to 7.

I almost can't even watch it anymore. I mean, I will because she's my dream. She's a dream sequence. But I get so like, that I'm like, Biden and Sanders? Oh, okay. Fuck it. Whatever. I literally don't even care at this point.

This is how bad it is. Hollywood will be doing flash mobs. We will all be wearing that Joe Bama merch, that joke. You go catch me in that joke every week. I don't even, I really, it's so sad to say, but I just picked two. I go, I can't go through this. Part of me is like, I don't know if like, you'd like to think that people who have the same kind of outlook on our economy and and predatory capitalism in this country, like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, would help disrupt those things.

But I'm like, fuck it. Do we just need Biden to get past this and then we can actually start beginning the change because people aren't ready? It's a very – The candidates are – oh, sorry. Yeah, no, go ahead. Well, I was just going to say, let's say this happens. Let's just say it's Biden and he picks Harris for VP. Whatever.

I'm just – you know, whatever. Then I think the Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warrens and the Pete Buttigieg, I think they'd be all phenomenal heads of state. You know what I mean? I mean, I think they'd be – not heads of state, secretaries of – Yeah, cabinet positions because their ideas are phenomenal yeah but I guess that's where you need the president though to be able to be like you know because Elizabeth Warren freaks freaks the shit out of the banks and Wall Street yeah so is Joe Biden gonna take on board what she recommends because he's also like in in bed with them so

he's like oh you know I don't know if he would pick her and that's the problem is that's where I'm like oh Joe is just gonna keep them more of the same. No, no, I'm, I'm not remotely a fan. It's just, yeah, your bar, you know,

we're at negative 1 million and Biden may bring us back to negative 10. You know what I mean? Like I'm not excited at all. Yeah. That's just the, I think, and that's just sort of the effect of this current presidency too. It's like,

we just want a president who's going to stop telling white supremacists it's okay to murder us. Like, we're just trying to get there. That's step one, sadly. Step one, president doesn't tell

white supremacists that they're very fine people. I'm also curious to see what happens too in these debates because for all the focus on Joe Biden's, you know,

hand in the 94 crime bill, let's not forget, Bernie Sanders also voted for that crime bill too, but that hasn't been discussed on the debate stage. So we shall see. Every i see joe bine i also see anita hill you know what i mean and and so it's like sickening because you just know like it's that age group is that older white man age group which i can't even look at anymore but it's just so depressing that that's what I don't know. But, you know,

as these polls show Trump, you know, looking in like very not good shape in terms of like, I don't believe it, like the outlook on the economy or just the polling numbers. Well, I think there is something to say that he definitely acknowledges that there could be a very real threat to him being reelected because he's already started, you know, he's been laying this groundwork to try and negate the results of the election. Like now being like, you know, all this voter fraud, you never know. I mean, like the media is trying to sabotage. He's trying to create all these fall people.

So when he goes, hey, my followers, I like this is bullshit. I don't agree with this. You know, if he loses. He never even wanted this shit. He looked so mortified when he gave his acceptance speech and it's crazy to me that now his ego and his eat has driven him to want another term doing well this is the only thing that's going to keep him from facing criminal charges because fuck that well the second he's out of office in 2021 if he's out state of new york

they're like hi donald trump yeah you've been served. Yes. They're going to be playing. I want them digging it up like they did R. Kelly. I want it all. I want it all and I want it now. Yes. I mean, yeah. The Omarion will come out to serve him. Did you see?

You got served. Literally, four little saints. They will be dancing in the rain serving Donald Trump. Marcus Houston, Omarion, everybody. Chris, even Chris Brown. Fucking Steve Harvey even. He's problematic, but he's going to have to dance too. Yeah.

You got served, Mr. President. Oh, I mean, Donald. Literally. So, yeah, I think there is a lot to say that there is probably going to be some cheating. He tweeted out this weird study saying that Google had manipulated a bunch of people's search history. It was weird. He was trying to say manipulate 2.6 million to 6 16 million votes in favor of hillary clinton and it the math is like so odd that he's using it's based on this study that was done by this psychologist who reported that search results

were on average biased to favor hillary clinton on the days that this person studied but i don't understand how you can actually demonstrate that bias if people just were actually searching that more than that's just the reality of the situation. I don't know how that you can then extrapolate this idea that, you know, this was leading to a huge swing in votes. But this is the kind of like really tenuous, lame logic that he's latching onto to try and preserve his own, I don't know, the mirage of his presidency and why he should stay in office. Let's move on to some police violence talk. One fun subject to another.

Yeah, just to another. I just wanted to point out that the man who murdered Eric Garner was fired. Okay. Only took five years. I was like, how long was it? I was going to say, I guess seven. Yeah. I was. And also, wow guess seven. Yeah. I was.

And also, wow. Cool. You murdered a person and you only get fired. And it's, you know, it's been a very, very long and painful road for the country and the Garner family to just, you know, look at somebody just get murdered in the street like that. Yeah. On video, 11 minute video of him saying,

I can't breathe and them using an illegal chokehold. And then somehow they allow this man to be back on the field. Like, what the actual fuck? And apparently, like, through all this was very uncooperative and transparently self-serving in his own testimony when there was like an internal inquiry about it. So, you know, and I bring this up because obviously that's sort of older news because there's also recently in California, a new law that was passed that is basically the strictest law in the nation for defining when police can use deadly force.

Now, like any bill involving the, you know, use of deadly force and police violence, you know, has some people happy, has other people saying this is not enough, but it's a good step. The biggest thing is that right now, I think it says at the current legal standard is that the use of legal force, lethal force is legal if it is reasonable. And now we're talking about trying to figure out what is necessary. So essentially before you could only look at like what the officer did in that moment and see if the way they responded was reasonable or like that they felt that they they could you know legally use this lethal force now this bill allows for a lot more context to even understand the behavior of the officer the behavior of the person who is being apprehended or whatever to begin to bring a little more nuance into discussion before Before this, a lot of

law enforcement groups were against it because there was language in it that would basically help district attorneys and prosecutors hold the police officers themselves accountable or face criminal liability. When that language was watered down, that was the only time like the law enforcement lobbying groups were sort of on board with it. So that's the part where a lot of activists are like, see, this is is the thing we need criminal accountability because if you are stepping outside the bounds of like what we're defining is you know how a police officer should conduct themselves or shooting someone straight up in the back like we need to we need to actually look at that criminally but it's not a perfect bill but it's definitely the strictest

and going forward you'd hope that they can add on that. But we shall see. I mean, we also just need to get to the point where in our police state, the police are not above the law. They should just face the same laws as if I am a civilian and I'm being attacked by someone and I use deadly force, it should be the same as if a police officer feels like they're being attacked by someone and uses deadly force. You should not be able to shoot people who are running away, especially if they are unarmed. There's just so many things that this bill still leaves up to interpretation and loopholes that are just, quite frankly, disgusting.

A lot of people don't even believe that we need police. And there are places where people in society like act as the police and i don't necessarily agree with that because i don't know if i would be out here being the police unless it's batman uh right i'll let batman or superman right batman is too regular like he gotta come in a car like break down like right but um and he's a billionaire but it is but it's absolutely ridiculous that we keep leaving so much gray area up to interpretation. I mean, especially in Los Angeles, we're one of the most overly policed cities in the country with one of the highest amount of death tolls from actual police officers.

So, I don't know. It's just very frustrating. There's this huge disconnect in this country. It's like cops are i think very much needed however literally it's a lawless job like you are protect it's to serve and to protect right and then you have everyone else just like basically on the streets we're doing everybody's doing everything wrong and the power it's an imbalance of power. I know really good, there's good cops and bad cops.

There's good people and bad people, but there's no connect in communities. I think there needs to be ground level connection, but no one speaks to each other. No one, it's just, I can do anything I want because I'm a cop and you're doing everything wrong. And that's it. Well, yeah, and it empowers people who might not actually be interested in serving and protecting.

They might be more interested in just being predatory and acting out whatever their own vigilante fantasies are or whatever. And then you see it time and time again. It's like, yeah, I mean, the legislation, okay, it's a good step, but you really have to have grassroots people meeting people, cops meeting their community, like just some some sort of conversation.

Well, also, the infrastructure is built on racism. So when you have a system that's structurally built on racism and that literally is open season for people of color, then you cannot fix it unless you start to dismantle it. And instead of doing that, we keep trying to inch towards some legislation that's supposed to make us all sleep easier at night when we know that the police can so easily murder people of color and get away with it it is like nothing because there's no criminal there's no criminal liability so like imagine imagine what a cop thinks goes fuck if i bust my gun like this right now i could fucking go to prison i'm from texas and i literally the one time in my life

where i cussed out a cop and I will relish this for the rest of my fucking life. I was at home in a jacuzzi with my friends on Memorial Day and we got like a noise complaint from a nearby neighbor and we were already about to go to bed. It was one o'clock. We were like, oh, we'll turn it off officer. The officer is like, please

come through the garage or otherwise I'm going to give you a $500 fine. We come out in swimsuits holding my dog. It's just two women, two black women. And he proceeds to interrogate me. I give him my driver's license number. He pulls up my name, everything, and then stays, then steps into my garage and asks to call for backup. No. Yeah. And it was the one time in my life where I looked him dead in the face because he looked around my age. I know this kind of guy. And I was like, I looked him dead in the face because he looked around my age. I know this kind of guy.

And I was like, so what is it? I was like, what is it about me being alive that bothers you so much? I was like, you just want to kill people and somehow you think you're connected to some kind of deity or God because you're going to gun me down. You're going to shoot a woman in a bathing suit in a garage. That's what you want to do? And I was a little drunk. I will say I was because otherwise I would have probably been crying and been like, oh, Mr. Officer, I'm so sorry. Let me stroke your ego.

That's what people on the right would say about you on Twitter. Right. You shouldn't have been drunk. And so, but he ended up, he called for backup. And when his backup showed up, the backup looked at us and was like, come on, man, what are you doing? And left. Yeah.

But he was ready to do something. If I asked my father to come out, probably one of us would have been dead. Yeah. But that's like normal. I've had so many interactions with cops like that. Or yeah, or every time I've been pulled over over the first question is uh where's the gun at and i'm like the fuck are you talking about i'm like run my shit dude i've never been arrested exactly and then i'm like all right well how long you been on probie i'm like i'm not on probation

i've never i don't have a record and it's like well what are you doing here i'm like i'm visiting i'm i'm i'm fucking somebody in this neighborhood that's why i'm here officer i'm sorry i i didn't stop all the way i am horny yeah have you ever been horny officer now let me fucking be and that's the fucking weird shit that people don't realize too is like even me i'm half black i don't i might necessarily communicate the traditional african-american look to police officer but still brown people are looked at like okay so what's really good like Like, where's your weapon? Are you a threat to me? And that's just what's chilling.

The one thing I will add is that the bill does actually prohibit a police officer from firing fleeing felons who don't pose an immediate danger. Now, an immediate danger, I don't know how they're going to fucking define that. Right, like my back, how does my back oppose any immediate danger

if I'm running away? Well, you are very muscular in the back. Also, the race issue, you're dealing with half the population, right? So I'm a white woman, so I'm very much marginalized in the woman area. But as a white person, none of this has happened to me. None of this. I pulled over once in Florida when I was 18. I was driving like a fucking maniac from spring break.

So I don't have any of these stories. I don't have any. I can sympathize to the last breath, but I don't have these experiences. And the flip side is, okay, so primarily white male officers, right, which are 80% more, 90 percent more to be i'm sorry just blatantly racist and abuse power right so and then they're also writing the legislation you know what i mean so until there's more i don't know how you solve more white men are going to be police officers there you know what i mean i don't know how you connect. How do you stop this? Well, it's definitely not

with those viral videos where they're like, these cops were breakdancing at a barbecue. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's got to start on the local level. I always say it's got to start in these local precincts.

Someone has to stand up and be like, this is complete and utter, this is disgusting. Or just say, hi, guess what? You cannot kill people without consequence. But cops are also gangs.

Like, cop is gang gang. Like, it's such a gang. Like, that's why all the blue stuff, all the they stick together, they protect each other. When they do murders, they cover each other's asses. Like, how do you get rid of a gang mentality in a rogue organization? Yeah.

It's just, you have to destructure it. It can't be just like these tiny little tweaks to laws. We have to have some hardcore legislation that makes people think twice before they bust a cap in somebody's ass. And that's why I think, you know, and these are the kinds of things that I think everyone here considers when you look at a presidential candidate, because you have candidates who might not think this is an issue or they do, but only pay lip service to it. Or other people say, no no this is my fucking plan because we have just systemic racism has completely creeped into our justice system and that has to be ended and you need leaders you need people of color in leadership position

and you need white people in leaders leadership position of color who abdicate for people of color yeah just saying this is yeah. And saying this is a problem. But we have all our leaders, they're not going to be anti-cop. You know what I mean? Or that's how it'll be framed. To be like, well, no, no, no.

I'm anti-people who think they can get away with murder simply because they have a badge. That's really, this is the line. We're against power abusers. Those people happen to be police officers, then maybe that's really this is the line like we you cannot it's we're against power abusers yeah those people happen to be police officers then maybe that's how it's falling but i think that's how it would always be spun to try and be like accountability means you're a hater but now it's worse than ever because literally at the top is like just a blatant white supremacists. Yeah. Like, blatant. So if it's now, you think, like, yeah.

I mean, to me, it's worse than ever. I don't know how you can get worse. Well. You know what I mean? Like, you have to look to the leaders. Like, people always try to, like, look up to these inspirational models. And we have the worst of all worst. Well, let's think more about that as we take a break.

And we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Caitlin 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.

And I just wanted to bring up the tale of a possible scam. Or not a scammer, just an interesting moment on social media, right? Because Instagram is a mirage on our phone that a lot of people mistake for real life. And recently, there's a lifestyle influencer blogger i don't even know what the fuck that is really from nashville um who is getting some unwanted attention after posting about a motorcycle accident she had during a photo shoot and people are saying like she staged the accident and it was possibly a branded post now this woman uh t Mitchell, when BuzzFeed

News was asking around because they saw sort of what was happening on Instagram around this post, she said, I would never turn a very important personal story like this into a brand campaign. I'm sad that some people are taking it that way. She would also ask BuzzFeed not proceed with writing this story as it would, quote negative attention um now if you look at the photos it starts off as like let me tell you about the shoot we did very glamorous stuff on a motorcycle um and then something happened she slid off her bike and scraped her body up but when you look at the photos they look like ah they look staged but i don't know. This looks like getting in a motorcycle accident, but make it fashion. But make it fashion.

Yes. She is like kind of like she's posed. Like she's giving me Tyra arm. Tyra Banks always talks about like if you want to make a skinnier arm, pull it away from your body. She's giving me arm pulled from the body. She's popping shoulders. And also she's giving me glace. So she's giving me smart water.

She's giving me Glace-O. She's giving me Smart Water. She's giving me branded content, honey. She's giving me like road kill, road slay. Road slay, yeah. Road slay, honey. And so it makes it a little difficult to believe that this was an actual moment. Well, I definitely see this is the thing. Like they say it was branded because there is this one photo where like thisiseled man is standing over her as she's on the ground with her head in her hand like, how could this have happened? And there's just a big-ass smart water bottle right – it's more kind of the focal point of the entire frame.

Has anybody seen an accident? Like, seriously. Like, everybody's seen an accident. Does this look like a horrible accident? You don't mean like the CEO accident? I fell over recently. My crock got stuck between the table and my couch. And they're malleable.

And I fell on my, I thought I was dying. Nothing happened. But the photos. And the photos would have been like, oh my God, you're close to death. I was crying. There was a cat over me licking my forehead. Aaron, say ow. One, oh my God, you're close to death. I was crying. There was a cat over me licking my forehead. No, Aaron, say ow. One, two, three.

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ouchie. I mean, you look like a garbage person when you get into an accident. I fell and I look terrible. This woman supposedly got into a motorcycle wreck. We saw her scars, so it looks like the injuries are legit.

Yeah, that could have happened anyway. She got some... Oh, okay. I don't... Here we go. All right, CIA. This woman's named Tiffany. Uh-huh.

There's so many problems with this story. I just scrolled through. I don't know who she is. I don't care. And it was like... I was like, ooh, who's this hot lady that fell off a bike? It was a Lesbo reenactment for me. It was... I just was likeactment for me. It was,

I just was like, this is a model shoot. If you looked at those photos, you would think, oh, it's a, a night shoot. It's a filmed.

Definitely a golden hour. It was golden hour when she fell. It was perfect. The lighting was perfect. She looked perfect. She looked amazing. I've never seen someone look more amazing. I'm just saying why,

why, but this is where her defense was. Because we're talking about it now? Her defense was like, well, Lindsay, if you know Lindsay, she captures everything, who is the photographer. Lindsay was on the back of the bike that fell off? Can I just play a small clip of her defending this? Because it's like a 10-minute Instagram video. But when you hear her voice.

Like, if you know Lindsay at all, she always has her camera with her for everything. Like, you go to hang out at a friend's house,'s there with it she's documenting she documents that's her art that's how she expresses herself that's how she tells and shares stories so lindsey was there she was shooting and when my bike went down um my friends were immediately at my side including lindsey making sure when my bike went down does she just lindsey is just like clairvoyant she just pops up on crime scenes no that's like her that's like her photographer no i know but like she was there was some there so there was a shoot happening can she admit that yeah she said that she says that there's a shoot but what

she says is that when her bike went down which i was really just trying to understand like how a bike goes down. So basically, when my bike went down, and by that I mean I fell and had a minor scrape. She has some scrapes. I reenacted a traumatic motorcycle injury. Now, she did have an ex-boyfriend in 2016 who unfortunately passed away in a motorcycle accident, and she was trying to liken this event to that. So that would be doubly why you would never do this. Sure.

Where was Lindsay when I fell over with my Crocs on? I mean. But that's what Lindsay does. That's how she tells stories. That's how she tells stories. But I think that's the thing. A lot of people in the comments of her post were sort of like, well, hold on. Like, if you really fell over like that, wouldn't your friend put the fucking camera down and make sure you're okay?

I mean, like, you know what? This is some tent. fell over like that wouldn't your friend put the fucking camera down and make sure you're okay but i mean like you know what this is some tent but this is why i also can kind of believe that because we do live in a world where someone like a lindsey's like this might be a little fucking classless or weird but i'm just gonna start taking these photos because there might be frames where she looks actually like she was in an accident but they only got like the good ones or maybe she's like you know strike a pose i don't know this could be me as someone who's had their car towed a lot and had a lot of like traffic misfortune and stuff and i also i'm just very

active on instagram stories i do instagram story crazy shit that happens in my life and like grab crazy moments however i've never like been in in the situation where i was like hurt and was like no please get get it for the gram right like i i This story makes me want to retire to Hawaii and sell weed and be a librarian. This is like, I can't with this. I think the accident happened, but I think that she over-dramatized it. And I for sure think that she's lying about the extent of trauma that she feels just because of the ad she when you watch this 10 minute video she uses so many adjectives and so little statements he's like it was a life-changing traumatic um day it was cold but it was also hot it was like 74 degrees okay I'm still not getting any information no listen to me I was on the road

the wind was coming from the east. And my friend Lindsay picked up her camera, her Nikon. Meanwhile, she's in the back like, Lindsay, burn those, burn those photos. Archive this post. Make them prettier, Lindsay. Make me prettier. She also says that she documents her life in a very raw way. But if you were to go to her Instagram, literally it's a pumpkin spice filter on everything.

And I'm not even kidding. It looks like you're looking through an old, empty cup of pumpkin spice latte or something. It's all very orangey and very purposeful. Or everyone just has bad fake tan. What does she do? I'm just, I'm not, I'm really wondering. Aaron,

get in the game. Lifestyle blogger. Yeah. Okay. I'm done. Don't you want in the game. This is what she does. Lifestyle blogger. Yeah. Okay. I'm done. I'm done with my life. Don't you want to know how to organize a cheese plate? Erin has officially stopped. I've actually just stopped as a human.

This woman probably owns a house. Don't you want to look at a clawfoot bathtub that you don't own? I can't with this Instagram YouTube. It makes me crazy. Your veins are popping out. It's out of the cold brew. People have skills, YouTube. It makes me crazy. Yeah, your veins are popping out. It's that or the cold brew. People have skills, Tiffany. Now listen, Tiff.

Tiff's got some skills. To build an audience like that, it definitely takes a lot of work. She knows how to. Yeah. I know. I should. I hope she, first of all, I hope she feels better. I'm not a terrible human, but I just, those photos made me like, my immediate reaction

was like, this is, she is, just someone sneeze and blow her away. Right. Yeah, well, you know, this is 2019, y'all. This is what people do for jobs. I guess I'm just, I'm aged out of this. No, I mean, I'm also not. I just feel like this isn't content I want to see, so I don't have to look at it.

Yeah, I just don't know, the whole influencer thing is just such a, I mean, I get why people are so into it, but yeah, when you see stories like this, part of me is like, you know, I just don't know. The whole influencer thing is just such a – I mean, I get why people are so into it. But, yeah, when you see stories like this, part of me is like, yeah, it's someone who, like, just took a smidge of what really happened and then exploited it as best as they could. And that's what happened. I think that's really what happened. But that's when you're like – that's when you start going, ugh, at these people. Unfollow Tiffany. She's also very much like the influencer in Ingrid Goes West. She's a cartoonish version of an influencer.

Because there are influencers who are doing cool stuff. But listen, this is one of her captions. Hashtag ad. Guys, I'm super geeking out over this collaboration that I got to do with Herbal Essences. I am so nostalgic about this brand. It goes on and I'm like. Nostalgic about Herbal Essences? Is she having an orgasm in the shower? Because that's what those commercials were about this brand. Like, it goes on, and I'm like... Nostalgic about herbal essences? Is she having an orgasm in the shower?

Because that's what those commercials were about. Right. I just immediately started orgasming. What happened to those commercials, man? I don't know. Remember, people would be like, oh, she's a whore. And he's like, yes! Yes!

And he's coming with her hair fucking looking fine. Maybe she was shooting an herbal essence video when she fell off her motorcycle. You know what? I hope feminism took care of those and women were like, we want real orgasms. Yeah, fuck out of here. We're tired of shampoo orgasms. How much herbal essence

do I have to rub on my clit? Fuck that. Someone help me. Toss me my rabbit. Three gallons of rose blossom herbal essence it takes to make me have an orgasm. I want a quarter of the peach container

and that's all I'm putting on my vagina. I'm sure there are guys back then who were like, well, have you tried herbal essences, honey? Maybe that'll help. We don't live in that time anymore, Frank. You get down there and you eat this box. Eat this shit the fuck out. Hometown buffet is open.
