Oh, shit. I miss my Uncle Charles, y this show like two days ago. I miss my uncle Charles y'all. Uh, for some reason, I do miss my uncle Charles. I got, I miss my uncle Charles. That was probably the most I ever ruined a song like for myself. I just,

I listened to the single over and over and over and over again for like a month straight. And I i also that video scared the shit out of me too yeah yeah when that when they when dude's eyes turned black i was like oh no angel of death comes through and just turns your whole eyes black turned your whole eyes black i grew up on the south side of chic. Gun violence, gang violence. Nothing scared me until I see a dude's eyes turn black in the music video. I was like, I'm scared now, baby. Black, like a doll's eyes. Scary.

Yeah. Well, Jaquese, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by another person you've already heard from. A very funny comedian, improviser, whose special Spiritually Filthy dropped earlier this year. from a very funny comedian improviser uh whose special spiritually filthy dropped earlier this year is very funny it's more oh what's up dudes thank you for having me guys i'm psyched to be here we're psyched to have you ma'am can we talk about jesus real quick yeah our one and only lord and savior you mean yeah thank you what's good man where are you coming from uh los angeles okay yeah we're all in la yeah all in la we all survived the hurricane

yeah man the absolutely overhyped hurricane uh that came through la is that bad to say no i think that's accurate i mean i'm from missouri where it's like we there's just tornadoes and torrential rain like we're used to inclement weather you know yeah yeah i was gonna say i felt more wind on a normal summer day in chicago than what we got dude i lived I lived in Chicago for seven years, and my friend likes to remind me of the time that it was colder in Chicago than on the moon. That was like a real, that's a thing that happened. Bro, I'm telling you, when I first moved to LA in 2012

was the year of a polar vortex, and I went back for the winter, and it was so cold, because you know, Chicago had that wind chill. I know Jack know about that windshield. Chicago got that windshield and the windshield made Chicago so cold that at the zoos in Chicago, they had to take the polar bears inside because it was too cold for them outside. I was like this. And then that's when I decided, like, why would I ever come back here? Like, this is a mental illness to live in this city during the winter.

I should have lived a place where I can walk in the house, stick my head in a freezer and warm up like that. Chicago. Yeah, that's insane. But I love it. I love that polar bear story and that moon story are both such great. and that moon story are both such great it's like they have some really like talented like novelist who's like writing for their local news who's just like how do i convey how fucking cold it is everybody's acting like it's fine that's the thing like everybody's it's like being in a domestic violence relationship where you're like no it's actually there's four days in in a fall where it's he's amazing it's beautiful yeah right and it is oh man the spring the summer in chicago so nice it's a good uh yeah spring early fall understand why we can't see you understand that's right you

understand yeah i lived in missouri for like two and a half years and I remember there being one time when the sky was... The only thing I could describe it as is the end of Ghostbusters. When the sky is circling over that building. It was just like... I don't know if it was the pre-come of a tornado or what it was necessarily,

but it was just very... I couldn't believe what I was looking at that is a meteorological term pre-cum the sky turns it looks like the northern lights but like evil you know yeah yeah right like it's the same like mystical but you know but where's that terrifying where's that color also like also growing up because chicago didn't get many tornadoes but we got some especially in the suburbs uh so you know people won't understand the fear not fear because we got used to it but hearing the tornado horn go off we just hear that shit start going up you're like boy's about to get windy up in here. We say that all the time. It's so insane.

It's like a World War II bombing alarm. You know what I mean? You're not used to an alarm. It's like a car alarm, but for the whole city. It's a crazy experience. It's very wild. Yeah. Very wild.

All right. Well, Mort, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about two nights ago was debate night uh we discussed it on yesterday's trending but uh we're just going to check in with uh you know if anybody has seen any of the clips what your thoughts are and then you can do a little bit of a deeper dive on vivek who seems to be the surprise focus of the first debate and there's this phrase that you often hear about him uh that he is a scientist uh who has developed a number of medicines uh which would be surprising to you if you watched the debate and saw that he thinks climate change is a hoax and so we're just gonna

like dig into what his scientific scientist bona fides are we are gonna check him with jorna jordan peterson jorna as i call him for some reason uh because he has to go to twitter school apparently uh and we're gonna we're gonna look into the subtext of the mission impossible movies like what whether there is some scientological subtext uh running below the surface all of that plenty more but first more we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history um i like to pick the i tried to pick the most boring one um good good yeah i feel like that makes a good good podcast and uh last night i i searched how do i cook potatoes okay yeah my my i love this yeah my wife made a really good curry although she and look this this I love spicy. I actually really do like spicy shit.

But like by any measure, it was way too spicy. Just like nose flooding, kind of spicy, you know. So I had to go. I was like, we can't waste all this curry. She made so much. So I went to the store and got potatoes, corn and onions. And I was like, I'm going to thicken up this curry. I'm going to I'm going to cut the curry with various vegetables. Ste vegetables stepped on you need this curry to be stepped on exactly bingo so then and

then i just uh yeah so then i um ended up uh boiling the potatoes for 25 minutes and uh yep and it was great honestly a little bit of salt and then a little bit of salt in the onions cook the onions in a separate pan and uh yeah yeah, ended up really making a solid curry. I'm going to say this. Listen, as a potato lover, I wouldn't trust anybody who don't like potatoes. You know, everybody can eat them. Vegans can eat them.

Everybody can eat a potato, right? And it's a choose-your-own-adventure with a potato. Like, what would you say your top three potato is i mean look potatoes are french fries potatoes are potato chips potatoes are you know the like a sad little cousin the baked potato uh yeah dude i love a hash brown i'll do a hash brown any day i'll do a night hash brown you know i don't know why we're saving them for brunch a night yeah a night hash brown. A night hash brown is great. So good. I'll do scrambled eggs with veggies on top and hash browns on top.

It's this whole... It's a hash. It's a mixed up hash. Are we talking shredded hash or are we talking hash brown patties? Beautiful question. Thank you, Jaquese. I would do... I'm going to go shredded.

Just because they're a little... You know what else i love is like the little shoestring potatoes i like a thin i prefer a thin potato yeah let's do it okay so you can get a lot of the crust on on the potato i i feel like hash brown is like that we we have lots of potato options for dinner and lunch that are all good you know the chip you you ran through a bunch of them the chip the french fry uh mashed potatoes i even love i love your mash yep breakfast potatoes though i i feel like hash browns are so far out in front of the home style potatoes i do not like home style potatoes i think keep those in your home you they sit in home. You, you, they,

they are so easy to fuck up. That's the thing. Yeah. Because like the thing about the thing about a breakfast potato in any variety, whether it's Patty hash brown, Patty or shredded hash brown, even breakfast is the seasoning.

Like that's, what's going to, that's, what's going to end. Like the thing about shredded is, is straight is so thinly that the season and really soaks in really well. And when they're diced or homestyle, they're just cubes of potato. So the season to be followed, shredded is it's shredded so thinly that the seasoning really soaks in really well and when they're diced or home style they're just cubes of potato so the season to be followed you got to make

them soft and if you don't you make them too hard then that season is not gonna hit the home style potato is my my least favorite of the breakfast potato and they're they're leaning so hard on rosemary they're acting like rosemary is gonna they just found out about it yeah yeah it's not that great no it's the most like yeah it tastes yeah it's like a it's like a subtle it's like slightly better tasting like pencil shavings or something you know what i mean this is weird this tastes weird yeah texture is a problem yeah rosemary is like a suggestion of us it's like a whisper of a seasoning it's it's a garnish almost yeah yeah oh the little the little spike things oh yeah yeah it smells great smells like it's gonna be delicious yeah but you shouldn't

have to eat it it's like pine needles weird air yeah yeah um by the way potatoes o'brien my aka uh is not a good potatoes dish. I don't think I've ever fully come out and said that. But it's like green peppers and red peppers and maybe some tomatoes thrown in and with some home fries. And it's just not the thing that I'm looking for from potatoes. Yeah, that's fair. It's all about the crisp. It's exactly like you were saying about the hash browns. you need the surface area to be much larger than the interior area yes

yeah yeah give me a lot of surface area nice crust underrated potato underrated potato cheesy scalloped underrated yeah you don't you don't get it too often but every time i do i'm like the shit hits well here's what's interesting. So, like, most cheese dishes are just cheese delivery systems, right? Like, your mac and cheeses, you know what I'm saying? But the cheesy scallops or your au gratin potatoes, those are both potatoes, which are amazing, and cheese, which is great. So you can't really go wrong. It's beautiful.

Oh, man. Real casserole. Oh, man. Real casserole. If I'm going to go casserole, I don't mind the two predominant ingredients being cheese and potatoes. That's a beautiful thing. This is now a pretty

passable food podcast. We just changed the podcast entirely. It's whatever you want it to be. What's something, Mort, that you think is overrated? Overrated? Waking up early.

Hell yes. I think we have a society built on a bunch of try-hard nerds who are all up at 6 a.m., can't wait to get their oatmeal and face the day. You know what I mean? And now everybody's got to work from sunrise to sunset because these weirdos woke up early and made it the law while we were still asleep. Build a bunch of bridges that we have to use.

And they're like, well, if you're going to use our bridges, you got to play by our rules. That's right. And I just feel like, man, all right, this is going to be controversial. But all the most evil people in history, I'm certain, there's no, like the people that created the fossil fuel industry, they weren't rolling

out of bed at 1230 like a bunch of badasses. You know what I mean? No, they were not. From like Stalin to whoever, Trump. You know, I'm sure they're all up real early. I think Stalin liked to party and sleep in a little bit. So did Hitler, actually.

Sorry to... No, no, no no but he was he was on methamphetamines right yeah he didn't sleep yeah he didn't he didn't sleep much but when he did don't don't wake him up in the morning getting up early too is also a form of punishment sometimes you know maybe like get up and go work uh or when you in jail they would be like all right you can start working at one they'd be like nah get up wake go work. Or when you're in jail, they would be like, all right, you can start working at 1. They'd be like, nah, get up. Wake up, call 7 a.m. Like, that's punishment.

It's punishment. Yeah. Yeah. It's terrible. Dude, the look on somebody's face when they just woke up, if you ever watch somebody while they're waking up, they look like somebody just punched them and handed them a puzzle to solve.

It's like the most confusing thing. You know, it's hard. It's hard waking up yeah the only time the only time a person should wake up early is when like you have a child because you're teaching that child and that child is just gonna wake up all the time and but once that child learns to stay your ass asleep then you you can go back and stay yo ass asleep too and we should all wake up collectively at noon yes yeah and then the work day should be four hours and then we can enjoy the rest of our night go to bed whenever and wake up and the day

should be starting at noon are we just describing Europe, basically? Yeah, pretty much. They've got to figure it out. Pretty much. But the thing that sucks, though, I'm not a morning person. I don't like the morning. I don't like waking up. But I still feel the guilt of sleeping in. And it makes me so upset. If it's past 930, I'm like, I've wasted the day.

And I haven't. I don't want to get up. I don't want to like be up. I want to stay in my bed. But like the guilt will fucking get me all the time. Yeah, it's cultural. That's a cultural reaction to a bunch of dorks. Yeah.

Yeah. Waking up early was invented by farmers and nerds. And nobody's ever had fun with them them i think fun is like building a barn it's fun that's work right yeah yeah how do we how do we cram some work into this party let's build a fucking barn um yeah there there's like a real rise and grind thing that I am, am over. Like the, the thing with Mark Wahlberg and, uh, the rock,

like being in competition to see who can like wake up earlier, like start their workout earlier to the point that they're like now just doing it late at night. Like they're like getting up at 2am to start their workout is, um, seems like a form at 2 a.m. to start their workout is, um, seems like a form of like insanity. Dude, like what are you running from?

You know what I mean? Where, what is the pain? What pain exists so deep in you that you can't like be, there's that quote of like all the trouble in the world is man's based on man's inability to sit in a room alone, you know? Yeah.

Just with his thoughts. We're dealing with people who like they're so they're like it's the opposite of meditation you know what i mean yes like yeah exactly go go keep going you're like why why are we all going just one moment of silence and then the thought i should probably get on instagram and stream this brother show them my uh and stream this brother show them my uh show them my amazing at home portable mobile gym that costs that's basically a actual transformer yeah anyways what is uh what's something that you think is underrated dogs dogs okay i've never heard of the i've i've been hearing some things but i've never actually met one in person tell it what what's what's the deal with these things i i think that probably 25 of all conversation

should be about how great dogs are i um i got i didn't have a dog for a long time and then i got a dog like a year ago and this dude i know that i'm not the first one to say this but he well i'm first one to say this he greets me like women meeting mick jagger in the late 60s like he every time i come home he cannot believe he's wiggle it's like if you had a friend who every time you saw them they were so happy they just started dancing yeah you know i mean like freaking out yeah just can't he runs in circles he runs in circles he's so happy to see me you know i mean that's like twice a day where i feel like a full-on absolute rock and roll star you know that's great yeah it's so good the guy's so good his name's cody he's an american staffy he's a little he's a genius it's all he does is cuddle it's improved my life dramatically that's great

i um i i have only had one dog in my life and i'm dating someone now who has two dogs but i currently also have two cats and just like the difference the difference in like energy is astounding um and and even you know because dogs also, you have to almost train them to not be as excited. Because if not, they will maul you. They will just maul you if not. And, like, then I'll come home. I, like, may not see my cat for, like, a whole day. Or if I go on vacation, I'll come home.

And then, like, one of my cats will be sleeping. And I'll open the door and they'll just pop their hair and be like, oh, it and then like go back i'm like fuck you fuck you i need you it is so and but like when cats want to be affectionate and cuddly and stuff and i know somebody out there is like my cat comes to the fuck you like most cats don't your cat has something wrong with it then okay your cat is a dog i had a dog that was a cat it would it would curl up in a beam of sunshine lick its paws and was just very chill i think it suffered from depression um and but it like had the personality like anybody who came over was like that dog is like doing the best impersonation of a cat. It's crazy.

I also have two cats and one dog. I love the cats. They definitely do this thing where they look at you like they're superior, but I just watch you shit in a box inside. How are you acting like you're a supermodel?

Brian asked, who cleans it up? You're right. We clean up their shit. That's right. Who's in charge? Done. Ready for you. Congratulations.

Yeah. But I will say for cats, at least we get to use a little scooper. It's masked in sand or whatever you know litter and shit but with the dog for the most part yeah you're just going in raw with your hands yeah yeah oh what a mess totally forget about that when you don't actively have a dog it's so easy to forget imagine like your kid shitting jack Jack, and instead of the diaper, you have to grab it with your fucking hand. Yeah.

No, I mean... It's wild. It's wild. It is. It's so wild. It is a mess. Yeah. Kid shitting is a whole other thing.

Now they're five and seven and not in diapers anymore. And yet, you're still cleaning up their shit now. They just love to have conversations while it's happening. Their brain enters a new phase where they're just like, get real chilled out

and have deep philosophical questions for me all of a sudden when they're taking a shit it's weird they become real contemplative yeah they become real contemplative and ask me like the big questions i'm like i don't why is this happening now you have two sons right yeah two boys yeah okay well listen sound like men to me. Just real, huh? How do my bones move me? Yeah. Things like that.

All right. Let's take a quick break and 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.

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. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And we are at a point in history, just for people listening to this on Friday, we are at a point where Donald Trump's mugshot has not been released yet. I don't know where you people are. It has been released.

We do not have any insight into the mugshot. Although we have gotten to see his team's mugshots. Have you guys seen those? Rudy Giuliani looking the most like a crooked politician who's been caught doing something like I just it's pretty great it's amazing that that is what he went with like yeah I don't I don't know if they were

like if he didn't know when the picture was being taken but he just looks so much like he's just yeah like a corrupt politician being caught doing something and like he's just, yeah, like a corrupt politician being caught doing something. And like he's in the middle of the phrase, like, I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids. Yeah.

Meddling liberals like nobody else out of the group of mugshots. There's there's one guy who's like gone real evil. Like there is a darkness inside his soul uh the guy in the blue shirt he looks like the mugshots of famous people like when they're caught like doing a dui like you can see that their life is at the lowest point that it's ever been at like that which again it just feels like i don't know i assumed everyone would go in smiling right like isn't that what you're supposed to do yeah yeah i mean i will go in smiling that guy the blue blue shirt guy looks like if you the people that commit the most like atrocious crimes they're like oh that guy had somebody in his basement for 20 you'd be

like oh that makes sense that makes sense why he has that look on his face like he's devoid of any soul yeah yeah there's a woman smiling like the youngest person in these pictures uh is a woman who was one of trump's lawyers who would like go on fox news and say things i forget her name but she'd go on fox news and say things that would make people be like wait you're a lawyer are you sure sorry it says here you're a lawyer but our researchers must have gotten that wrong because what you're saying does not make any sense um but yeah she's smiling i think she got the she understood the assignment yeah and her picture looks the best she looks wonderful her hair done you know

got the little side part almost going down i see her i see a little newt gingrich guy who's like also smiling and just looks like you know he's having a good time which i think i think that should always be your goal in the mugshot is like ah don't let the bastards get you down he's also missing the top right of his skull it's like a blown out yeah he is so white his hair is so white and then they've like blown out the lighting so much he's just he's so white that he makes cameras not work anymore he's just it looks like he's dissolving into light um but i also love that like i also love that like still to this is it has to be purposeful like with how great cameras are like they still use like like a six like megapixel camera for all they make sure like an iphone can get better pictures than these,

but they still use the harshest lighting and the worst camera they could possibly use for mug shots. It cracks me up so much. It's so funny. The lighting on Giuliani is very, like, German expressionism. Like, he looks

like Nosferatu got forced to go outside in the daytime yeah yeah he really does like he looks like they were just like asshole like and he he was like busily like devouring a mouse in the corner and then they were like hey rudy what are you doing here's a look all right yeah you seem borat too um all right so that is happening this is there's all sorts of things happening that um you know the timing isn't great on this one guys uh debate was a whole night ago um have you guys had any chance to like catch any of the clips anything jump out at you i called a couple i called i called a dude i'm not gonna attempt to say his name um because i'll butcher

it we all know who i'm talking vivek yes vivek vivek ramaswamy yep yep i i you know my guy i love that my guy good old vr um but i love that he's trying to poise himself he even like said the same obama line like i'm just a skinny care with a funny last name i bet you're wondering why i'm up here i'm like dude yo shut your ass up yeah he's he i think he wants to it it just cracks me up when like because there's always the fresh fresh faced one of the Republican group and, you know, is usually a person of color. Um,

and, and like that bubbly, but like, you know, I'm the smart young option, you know, basically is the, is the,

is the Obama wannabe of, of the field. And he is, I think like in his mind, he's i'm gonna be the i'm gonna be that for this like field as far as young personal color so white people can be like see we do support the the black and browns we support them uh they just need to be a little bit more like him uh like that's that's what he is and he just cracks me up but it's look it's working he's he's rising as from what i've heard and the clips and everybody's talking about him you know

he's rising as what people are saying could be the second option um yeah because desantis is kind of falling off or what a lot of people had i'm hearing he had a bad he he had that smile that one moment where he like gave you know what was like a pre-canned i don't know exactly what he was like and i'm your man and that's why i'll be president and you can count on it and i will never abandon you and like hit his final line and then the camera lingered on him for like I guess two seconds longer than he was expecting or maybe this was like a smile that he had been practicing

we talked about on yesterday's trending but it's it was the worst like the most fail catastrophically failed attempt at a smile that I think I've ever seen. It's like watching the Terminator learn to smile or whatever.

Yeah. I've watched a lot of comedy. He had the vibe of this was his third open mic. Right. He looked so nervous. He looked like he had forgotten how to swallow and kind of talk.

There was a look on his face like he was like, I shouldn't be here. This is a mistake. Yeah, there are different things. There's that one viral post where somebody's interviewing him and his eyes go through these different phases of responding and thinking about what his face looks like and thinking about like whether he's smiling and like, you can just see like things are coming apart inside of him. Like he's just like not able to like hold the forces within himself together anymore.

And like that, that seemed to happen at a few moments in the debate it's not like he totally just lost his mind on up there but he he was pretty bad he's i mean we're starting to see i mean here's the thing here's why when people was like man you know who i'm really worried i'm worried about the santas i was like why why he he gives off the energy of a woefully lame person who now has power. And once he got to the national stage, he was going to get his ass ate the fuck up. And what? But the difference, though, is he has shame.

He's trying to pretend like he don't. But he has shame. Whereas Trump don't got no shame. He's like, eat me up. I'll roast you back. Which, unfortunately, works as a politician. DeSantis has shame. So that's why he's falling apart.

Because he's getting his ass ate up. And everybody's starting to see, oh, you're also terrible. But you're just lame, dude. You're a lame white guy you have nothing else about just not yeah he's not built for it like trump is yeah trump has a weird like trump has the perfect personality disorder where like he's uncomfortable unless he's like insulting someone or being insulted or like some part of him is like you know at stake like unless like the like soul like the hole in the center of his being that like you know his

narcissism is constantly trying to fill in for like unless that is like propelling him like a jet engine, he's uncomfortable. Whereas DeSantis is furious all the time, but he's trying to hide it. And then he's just thin-skinned. He can't be thin-skinned. And look, there's other people. Even Bush was kind of thin-skinned and weird and stuff. But at his core, Bush was a frat boy cokehead. Like, so, like, he has a degree of no shame to him.

Like, there's, like, a childlike quality to Bush, I think, that was, like, yeah, I like talking about shame as, like, the arbiter of what's going on with these guys. Yeah, he wasn't smart enough to have shame yeah right right i think has has buried a lifetime of shame so it's like there's a i think there's like an ocean of shame that cannot be touched like if you get anywhere near it he's like you said he's soup he's a snake right like his heart is a spider that's what you have to fuck it that's what you have to have going on uh yeah these dudes i think to real to have him be like fuck yeah like that's what they that feels like power to them you know what i mean yeah like what just santas is catholic so that that would make sense that he's got the shame the focus on the shame yeah yeah that makes sense it like being like, I think we should just run like Jeff Ross or something.

Like, you know what I mean? Like they're all like pretty mid grade, like, uh, insult comics, you know what I mean? Like they should just get a professional up there and just talk about his bad

body and watch him cry. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. As we talked about yesterday, like that's what Trump was doing for, for most of the debate, was just talking about how Biden has a bad

beach body on his Tucker Carlson interview. We dug into that a little bit more. You can go listen to our trending episode from yesterday. I don't know what they're trying to do with the beach thing. They look

like shit. He also doesn't have a bad beach party but he has no shame yeah he's so he's insane it's so funny it's crazy he loves to make fun of chris christie for being overweight he's like always on the verge of toppling over yeah he's one cheeseburger away from being chris that's rude i'm sorry but you both think you have he's talking about us on yeah it's just like bro do you see yourself like what are you what are you talking about bro i think he's on ozempic though he's he's looking a little bit thinner um that's my guess uh is what's going on with both trump and desantis they both like seem like

they're slimming down in a way that's probably not very healthy and not to like body shade there's absolutely nothing wrong with being any weight at all but when you come out like everybody else you're as fat you're like no you are yeah this is like do you see like what is you talking about bro yeah um yeah so but yeah vivek was kind of the big focus um you know pence came for him like this is such a such a blessing for him to get is like that pence comes for him he's like this is not the time for on the job training young man you need to be experienced and know that when you're in battle you just close your eyes really hard and wish you were somewhere else um you know but he basically called him out and then vivek proceeded to you know go after that he told mike pence the us the USSR no longer exists which I thought

was kind of a good burn told Christie said that Christie is gunning for an MSNBC contributor position and that Nikki Haley's likely future is on the board of a defense contractor instead of the White House

so he kind of like yeah good solid solid burns um this is this is fucked up this is so fucked up that like this is entertaining to me because these are terrible people who are like you know running to basically lessen the quality of mine and so many others lives yeah like but like it's also like the nature that that is also the nature of like i'm i love sports jack you love sports i don't know if you love sports or not more but like it it it makes me upset that like when trump was like yeah i'm not gonna debate i was like yeah why would he because like the sport competitive brain in me is like yeah what like the saber metrics on that decision were actually really solid uh the metrics people really love

that yeah but like from a political standpoint is shit because we as the people should hear what you have to say about where you want to take our country right yeah but the political game and the election game has become such a spectacle and a sport that like it this that's exactly what it is so it's about burns and like all these things that have nothing to do with us essentially um as far as like the actual people that you're trying to help it's it's a game it's a fucking game it's a popularity contest vivek sells himself as a science guy um even though he claimed he's the only person on stage who claimed that climate change is a hoax. Also, like just based on, you know, some people are like he was the focus because he's like serving as Trump's stand in because he's like a far right and experienced outsider outsider. And he is running third in Republican polling.

So he has like a lot of interest. I'm assuming from like younger people he seems like he has more of a like younger person vibe who whoever the younger conservatives are i guess just like fascists for young fascists i love him sweet little fat um but so he describes himself as uh a scientist who has developed a number of medicines when in reality he's just like a hedge fund grifter bro who like got into the biotech industry and like is mostly known in that industry for a colossal failure that um you know because of the way he structured the deal that failed for everyone else, he got incredibly rich off of it. But what he did is he basically looked for

patents for drugs that had been abandoned for business reasons, then bought them for cheap, and then invested heavily in developing the drugs. And his big first gamble was on an Alzheimer's drug. And it had failed four times. But he was like, No, I really have a feeling about this one, guys. Trust me here. I've got my businessman's intuition. This is going to work out.

He got the company to a $3 billion valuation on this model and on like all of his promises around this, uh, Alzheimer's drug. And then this is all before the new clinical trial happened. But, uh, you know,

he, he had a good feeling about this one. And then when the drug finally conducted another clinical trial, it failed again. Like it had multiple times up to that point and the stock price plunged. And, you know, but because of the way the system set up, he's kind of insulated from the failure.

And he made like $400 million off of doing what I just described yeah yeah also like i i do i'm a firm but i mean this happens on every side of each aisle especially in politics but like the notion that you just have to play the game as far as like climate change for instance and him saying it's a hoax like even though he's you know not a respectable or reputable scientist by you know the terms of a respectable and reputable scientist um but like i don't believe for one second he thinks climate change is a hoax like if you are around scientists enough and you actually believe in science, then, you know, the scientific like proven fact that climate change is not a hoax. Right. So like but him as a Republican and him, you know, he has to say these. It's kind of like when Obama, when he first, you know, came onto the scene

and he was like, you know, he was saying things like, you know, I don't believe in gay marriage. When, like, I knew that to not be true because Obama went to the same church as my mom, who is a lesbian, who got married at that church, and he was there. Like, so, like, but he has to say that on a national stage, right, because that's where we are. Like so like but he has to say that on a national stage. Right. Because that's where we are. And so like it's just sad to me that like some of these things have to be said and they're of detriment solely because it's just what you think most of your party believes. So you have to like you got to play the game and like because I don't believe it for once. I don't believe that for that for one second maybe maybe it's true maybe he doesn't and he's a moron but like yeah right if he's being honest the the reality is like i don't care that climate change exists right right

it doesn't bother me that it truly exists i'm getting enough i'm pocketing enough cash off this thing that i'll totally say that to like wild applause yeah he literally says like we celebrated we were taught to to celebrate diversity too much that's what he said yeah people like dude they're not gonna run like okay there's no what do you guys think they're gonna run a person of color like do you think that would possibly because yeah maybe like here's who wouldn't vote for him is the old conservatives and they're like i don don't know, 75 percent old. You know, right now. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, I think what's going to happen. I think what's going to happen is all these people are running to possibly become Trump's vice presidential pick. Right. And I think there's also some hope that like or his campaign falls apart because he's in jail. Oh, or, or yes,

that too. Yes, that too. Um, so it's either that, but if he doesn't go to jail and he is able to continue with this campaign and he gets the nomination, um,

I can see him picking somebody like VR, you know, um, solely because he, you know, strategically, he thinks it'll give him votes that he would not get um otherwise he does tv well right that's the entire thing now like that was the brilliant thing about bringing in trump is that he is a television star so he does tv

relatively well i don't even think that well compared to like normal tv people you know he's still like weird and sweaty and like you know kind of like like unpleasant to experience you know like he's his charisma kind of bums me out but it's definitely there you know where it's like and then this kid he's good at talking he's good like you said he had a couple of burns he seemed like he enjoyed being there like pence seemed like the whole thing was a goddamn headache you know what i mean and always yeah he always appears like you can just both him and desantis you get the sense like deep down they would not want to be doing this they are tolerating this and this really condescending sort of like religious right like really disappointed in

everyone that's why he like got booed when he said that thing to that kid as he was acting like he was talking to like a kindergartner yeah you know he's talking to vivic nobody likes that shit it's condescending you know yeah whereas like there's a there's a humor in what trump does whether you think he's funny or not like it's it is kind of funny to be an asshole all the time right that's sort of it that's like a known comedic persona like oh yeah this guy's a monster dickhead no matter what happens you know it's like you could at least trust that there's a there's a confidence to it i'm safe with this guy because i know he's going to be a jerk no matter what where it's like pence and desantos they don't feel safe because you know they desantos seems like

he might start crying or like or hit someone you know yeah yeah it's he really seems like he's on the verge of like doing something catastrophic like just really bad for himself for somebody like directly around him like crying or an act of violence like a profoundly violent thing yeah like seems to be like both with him reach it at any moment and i want i we would they want like somebody who's consistent in seeming powerful even if that's like this desperate power that comes from like deep insecurity you know yeah yeah but just to kind of close the loop because so he's not a man of science like he doesn't spend time with scientists he spends time with other billionaires he's a fucking hedge fund guy um he's okay He's just a fucking financial grifter.

There's a chance that maybe he believes the climate change thing or that it's a posture, but either way, it doesn't really matter. If he were in power, we would be completely fucked. That's a terrifying thing. Yeah.

That investment that made him super rich, the California state teacher's retirement system lost a shitload of money. yeah yeah um but just that that investment that made him super rich the california state teachers retirement system lost a shitload of money on that one um lots of other people lost a shitload of money and it also like set back research on alzheimer's drugs like it duped people out of money um but it also a expert on like the search for research into alzheimer's was like that money would have been better applied almost anywhere else in the field that's a direct quote would have been better applied almost anywhere else in the field um so yeah it's not he's it's he he has some sick burns but like the shit he's doing he's just like a bad these guys ability to destroy everyone who they come in contact with i mean we're looking at all the mugshots of the people who supported

trump like that's what he does foundationally is whoever he gets involved with fucking goes down when the house burns down you know and it's exactly like that's good like that's smart capitalism actually is that right you know that's the thing is these guys there's a cunning to them that is really intelligent it's just disastrous for like society for everyone else yeah and they're running for president to yeah to head up the whole society thing you guys should get a uh fucking like you should get hazard pay for having to watch all this stuff all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball

just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically Black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?

Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. So there are some recent reports in the world of Tom Cruise

speculating that he is stepping away from the religion the evidence is sort of tenuous he's just like hasn't popped by the uk scientology headquarters despite living there for the past few years um but people are like or it could just be he's like visiting a different scientist like wait you guys evidence is that you're just camped outside of like a single you guys' evidence is that you're just camped outside of like a single Scientology center in London and haven't seen him. Like, but he, he has been like less overtly like Scientology mascot and more like he's

adopted the movies as his public facing religion. He's like, like I'm the movies are, are my religion. I'm the movies guy. Um, yeah. Yeah. Which I movies guy um yeah yeah which i prefer that i prefer that i mean it's tom cruise is a weird case like because obviously is is where scientology is scientology we don't need to get into that all the things we love it we love

it don't we we love it we love it we love it oh yes but all the things that we hate about scientology and and you know the way we talk about it and the actual church and institution uh we could say the same thing about christianity as well you know it's just been a part of our country for a millennia um but or essentially whatever I don't know. But like I get annoyed when people get mad at me for enjoying a Tom Cruise movie. The motherfucker, I love it. I love a Tom Cruise movie. Like they're great.

Like he is a movie star. He is a movie star and I get it. And they're fun movies. And if he just wants to be like a movie star and leave the rest behind, it's just like, all right, man, I would get. I can die for our entertainment. Yeah, 100 percent. I can see him replacing the addiction of the religion of Scientology for the addiction of the religion of Hollywood. Yeah.

Like in acting and stunts and all the shit that he does. Like, if Tom Cruise, if a news report came out next week saying Tom Cruise tragically fell 15,000 feet from an airplane and passed away, I would not be surprised. And I wouldn't even be sad because I'm like, he died doing what he loved. Yeah. He died practicing. He died of yeah falling out of the sky falling from a space blimp like trying to set a world record for like yeah um but yeah so our writer jm was uh went and saw the new Mission Impossible movie. I still haven't caught it, but... I love it.

It's great. It's a good movie. Yeah. So he's saying that there are some people who've been reading the entire franchise as an allegorical story about Scientology. The best evidence I've read for this is the same year that Tom Cruise married Katie Holmes and roped her into his cult, Mission Impossible 3 hit theaters and found Ethan Hunt settling down and introducing his wife to IMF, like the big, you know, impossible mission fund

or whatever. That can't be what it is. And then when Ghost protocol came out like following his divorce possibly due to scientology ethan and his wife similarly split because the imf came between them which like doesn't really make sense they're like like no you're too good at missions to be married ethan and then in mission impossible dead reckoning the movie villain is like this all-powerful ai but it could easily be seen as a stand-in for scientology like the human antagonist uh described as a zealot who unquestioningly follows the ai entity

has mysterious ties to Ethan's past. And apparently he joined the IMF right around the same time. Cruz publicly declared that he was a Scientologist and also Simon Pegg's character is trying to diffuse a nuclear bomb early in the movie, which he can only do. This is the, this is the detail that got me. So I was like, kind of like this theory is a little bit weird,

but then there's this like scene where simon peg's character is trying to defuse a nuclear bomb and the entity which is like this all-powerful ai quizzes him with personal questions that he could potentially use against him at a later date so like he gets like his e- reading. Like that's basically what the entity is doing to him. Like it's just like everything else is like, Oh, well, you know, like movie stars have things happen in their movies that are similar to

their careers. And like, that's not like having the AI antagonist of your movie, basically do the Scientology e-meter test to somebody while they're trying to battle it and defuse it. That feels very weird. And also

the idea that you use the e-meter to get secrets about people and then use that against them, which is kind of the main Scientology thing. i don't know jack if that if you if this is true would that make you like or like more or like less the the movie and in the franchise more definitely more i'm always interested in like yeah oh for sure

in this conspiracy theory are we saying that the script writer is like leaking secrets or that tom cruise is trying to like it's like his like secret like message in a bottle note to the world that like please pay attention you know i'm saying like who's in this theory who's responsible for this allegory like the script writer maybe the script writer working with tom cruise and is like for some reason i just have this weird idea that this might resonate with you. Um, so I've like created this scene. Um,

also the only way to defeat the entity is with a cruciform key, like a crucifix key. And Tom Cruise is like, or it was originally a Catholic before he was a Scientologist. So like to defeat Scientology with a literal crucifix, I'm just putting things out there. I think there might be... Tom Cruise said that

he attended the seminary for a year. And before he became a Scientologist, he called himself basically a born-again Christian. This is great. Yeah, he's not like a credited screenwriter on the movie. There's this movie called Room 237,

I think. Oh, yeah. You see that? It's all about the different conspiracy theories that people bring to The Shining. Yeah, exactly. And really, it's about the depth of the art of Kubrick's The Shining that you can sort of map onto anything, this beautiful piece of art. And I feel like that's what we're doing here, except for this one is

correct. Except in this case it's absolutely correct and scientifically accurate. Tom Cruise is a priest? Yeah. Can you imagine Tom Cruise is a priest? But he does have that weird, otherworldly joy

that makes you suspicious, or at least makes me suspicious of priests. Yeah. But he also has the charisma and the ability to talk to anyone as well that

is both off-putting and disarming at the same time. We should be thanking scientology it saved us from like tom cruise as the pope you know like he he would be the pope right now if he yeah had uh gone and gone that way he's the kind of priest who would be like somebody come up here and wrestle me for god you know like that was really something i don't know if i believe anymore but wow that was like quite a show tommy uh well more it's been such a pleasure having you on the podcast where can people find you follow you all that good stuff yeah just at mort burke on all the stuff
